[Tohsaka Rin: "Wow! Such a strong aura!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "I can see Ryuga-sama fighting again."]
Seeing the tense battlefield, Tohsaka Rin momentarily forgot about her sister's situation and focused on the battlefield before her.
[Kanae: "Although I'm also looking forward to seeing this mythological-level battle, since it's Ryuga-sama taking action, it feels like it won't last long!"]
[Madoka: "Yes."]
By now, facing mere Campione-level opponents, everyone felt completely unworried about Ryuga.
Ryuga's victory was inevitable - the only uncertainty was how quickly he'd win.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Should we guess how many moves Ryuga-sama will need to decide the outcome?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Let me say first - I bet one move!"]
[Madoka: "Then I can only bet two moves."]
[Kanae: "I don't seem to have a choice, but I actually want to bet one move too."]
Having seen Ryuga instantly defeat Melqart, no matter how strong this King of Swords was, they didn't consider him much of an obstacle.
While they chattered and discussed, Doni had already acted.
He simply took a light step forward, then casually swung his sword down.
Sharp silver light flashed, and in an instant, heaven and earth were displaced.
Along the line extending from the sword tip, a huge canyon formed.
The earth became ravines, the sea was also cut in half like jelly, massive tides poured down, massive amounts of sand fell toward the bottomless crevice, yet couldn't fill this gap.
Looking from the sky, this single sword directly carved a huge scar into the earth.
Seeing this scene, the group members suddenly fell silent.
[Tohsaka Rin: "One sword splitting ground and sea - this blonde seaweed-head is actually this strong?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Indeed, a Campione is still a Campione!"]
The other members nodded in agreement.
[Kanae: "Indeed divine-level power."]
[Madoka: "So amazing!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "However, I still maintain my opinion. To deal with him, one move from Ryuga-sama is enough."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "If this King of Swords were my enemy, I'd definitely surrender immediately and say his power was too overpowered."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "But if this King of Swords is Ryuga-sama's enemy, I can only say - young man, you need more practice."]
[Madoka: "Puhaha, Rin-Nee's comparison is so interesting!"]
Kanae thought about it and found it indeed true.
Although shocked by the King of Swords' power to change landscapes with gestures, once knowing the opponent was Ryuga's enemy, it inevitably made one feel he wasn't that impressive.
No help for it - before Ryuga, there didn't seem to be many who could be impressive.
On the battlefield, Doni casually cut open earth and ocean.
He did this not to display his power, but for another reason.
"Just watch from the side during my battle with my dear friend!"
He said this to Erica.
He simply wanted to draw a dividing line to isolate battlefield interference.
For ordinary mages or Erica at her original Great Knight level, this move might be useful.
But facing the current Erica:
"What did you say?"
The Hermes boots under her feet flashed with light, and the knight maiden directly teleported behind Ryuga, looking at the King of Swords with unfriendly eyes.
"If my lord commands it, I'll naturally withdraw from the battlefield. But if my lord hasn't ordered it, you alone cannot block my lord's grace."
"It seems you've become much stronger too!"
Doni ignored Erica's words, looking at her with considerable amazement.
Then he gave up on driving Erica away and shifted his gaze to Ryuga.
"As a senior, I can let you attack first!"
Clearly, his perspective was the same as almost everyone in the magic world - they all thought Ryuga was just an ordinary new Campione.
Generally speaking, due to differences in authority numbers and experience, people generally believed older Campiones were stronger.
As a battle maniac, though sensing Ryuga was extraordinary, he still wanted to yield the first move to see what kind of authority Ryuga had obtained.
Anyway, he had [Steel Protection], a powerful defensive authority - ordinary authorities would find it hard to seriously injure him.
Facing this request, Ryuga simply shook his head slowly.
"No need."
Because—
"I'm already prepared."
As his words fell, a Buddha-like light wheel appeared behind Ryuga.
Various Persian characters were written on the light wheel, inscribed with various incarnation symbols.
Soon, these mysterious symbols merged together, forming an orange-red longsword.
This orange-red longsword seemed intelligent, automatically floating and circling around Ryuga's body.
Mythological Formula - Sword of Victory.
"Oh? You also use a sword?"
Seeing this orange lightsaber, Doni's eyes immediately lit up.
Although he didn't know what effects it had, it didn't matter - cut first, ask questions later.
Thinking this, he could no longer restrain himself and directly raised his sword.
"Then I'm starting!"
Taking a thrusting stance, having considerable attainments in swordsmanship, he planned to close distance directly to leverage his white-blade combat advantage.
However, facing the King of Swords who was full of fighting spirit, fully prepared, and seemed ready for a satisfying battle, Ryuga simply waved his hand casually, dispelling the thick orange-red longsword and restraining his own magical power.
"?"
Just as Doni looked puzzled and couldn't help but question, suddenly he felt a strong powerlessness.
Never mind raising his sword - he even lost the strength to stand.
The curse power surging through his body also disappeared without response, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Nearly falling to the ground, he barely managed to stay upright by supporting himself with his sword.
This state was undoubtedly complete defeat, with no room for resistance.
And at this moment, Ryuga's ethereal voice reached his ears.
"Begin? No, it's already over."
Tohsaka Rin, Madoka, and Kanae's predictions were all wrong.
Ryuga, who had successfully defeated the King of Swords, seemed to have used not even one move.
Seeing this scene, everyone including Erica was stunned.
How was this possible?
