Goo ~ Goo ~ Something uncomfortable-sounding came from the direction of the Demon God Pillar.

The sound was like a shallow puddle of mud being trampled on by passers-by.

And in fact, it's not too much.

In front of the pitch-black Demon God Pillar, countless "Shadow Followers" were rushing towards a huge mass of earth like moths to a fire, and this mud ball was originally formed by the fusion of more than a dozen "Shadow Followers" with a body like giants and fierce beasts, and at this time, as more and more Shadow Followers threw themselves into the mud, its size became larger and larger.

"Do we have to be like the stupid characters in movies, games, and anime, waiting for the enemy to evolve before we start fighting?" Olga Marie looked at the black mud and said, "How about you break it up now?" ”

Is she not going to hide her entertainment preferences at all? Mary Sue?

"[It's better not to,] Yard said to stop, "[Its current state is 'absorption', 'transformation', and it can merge with everything that 'touches it', such as physical or energy attacks, as well as those shadow followers who actively contact it. 】”

"Can it only be attacked with spirits? Do we have anyone here who will? Ryunosuke looked around, then at Medusa.

"[Petrified Magic Eye] really doesn't need physical contact," Medusa carried the chain in her hand and gave Ryunosuke a white look, "But its requirement is 'eye to eye', you come and tell me where that thing's eyes are?" ”

"Hmm......" Ryunosuke looked around and realized that there really were no companions who could attack without "contact" at all, and even the bows and lightning of the two goddesses were likely to be "physical attacks" that could be absorbed.

Just after hesitating for a while, the black mud over there had already absorbed all the previous "shadow servants", and three strange rings of thunder and lightning mixed with dark red suddenly rolled up around them.

Is this a face-to-face copycat? Ryunosuke looked at the platinum circles of light that had been spinning but had no intention of shrinking at all.

Whew! Call!

At this moment, the red-black aperture suddenly accelerated and "strangled" inward, and the huge black mud mass strangled in the middle made an even more uncomfortable gurgling sound, slowly shrinking its volume with the aperture.

"Well, I have an ominous premonition. Yard spun around and tried to escape back into the cage in Grey's hands.

Where did you get a magic dress?

Buzz!

As soon as Ryunosuke glanced at it, a dark red pillar of light on the side of the Demon God Pillar that almost absorbed all the surrounding light rose into the sky, and "docked" directly with the void in mid-air.

"[Directly get through the roots, and use the treasure as a holy relic, that ugly thing can probably really summon King Arthur......" Yard is still chattering.

"The noble King Arthur will not assist that evil monster!" Grey retorted.

"[So it summons the evil King Arthur." Yard responded immediately.

Crackling! A blood-red lightning bolt slashed down from the "hole".

The aperture had been closed to the extreme, and the volume of the black mud had been reduced to almost the size of a person.

The lightning struck the "compressed black mud" squarely, and the next moment, with this position as the center of the circle, a strong hurricane erupted in all directions, and many abandoned houses with fragile structures collapsed directly.

After the hurricane and the red light had all subsided, standing there was a petite figure wearing a pitch-black skirt and armor, a black face armor, and a pitch-black sword.

Ryunosuke's hand shook inexplicably, and he almost threw the golden sword out.

————

[Hiss...... Whew......] "The pitch-black heroic spirit did not open his mouth to call himself so-and-so and answer the summons, as Ryunosuke had heard, but just stood there and breathed like a beast roaring.

At the same time, blood-red lines rose and clinged to her armor, visor, and sword like flames, staining the unknown girl's spirit with a strange temperament.

"Ah, it was Artoria Brown, who was determined to rule Britain by brutal means. Alter',]" Yard was still there, explaining, "[I'm telling you, Grey would probably be like that if she were blackened, but since she doesn't have a sword, I'm supposed to be—]"

"[It's noisy. Obviously, he was on the side of the Demon God Pillar, and it was unlikely that he would hear the black heroic spirit whispering here, suddenly said in a cold tone without any fluctuations, and then casually raised his hand, the black and red blade was slightly raised, and a wave of screaming qi flew out of the tip of the sword and broke through the sky towards the rooftop.

Ryunosuke almost instantly judged that his target was the most conspicuous summoning array on the rooftop and Hayashi Hao standing there.

Looking at her stunned appearance, he knew that it was too late to shout at her to dodge, Ryunosuke was in a hurry, and it didn't matter if it was useful or not, he raised the golden sword in his hand and blocked her in front of her.

"Senpai!" Matthew was quicker than him, raising his shield in front of them.

"[A-Ser! Hasegawa only had an iron rod in his hand, and he couldn't block it if he wasn't fast enough, so he simply swung his stick directly towards that wave of qi.

Click!

Matthew and Ryunosuke's actions didn't work, Hasegawa's black and red iron rod accurately hit the air wave, and there was a sound of gold and iron clashing in mid-air, and the air wave disappeared instantly, and Hasegawa was also knocked away by the powerful anti-shock force, and slammed into the abandoned air conditioner behind him.

The iron rod broke into two sections, and the black and red armor of one body was also shattered in large pieces, revealing Hasegawa's scarred and torn body inside.

"What can you do? Just an ordinary PE teacher! - Whether it's a goddess or a witch, if you have healing magic, come and do me a favor! Ryunosuke forcibly pulled Hayashi and Mathew behind cover in a daze, while glaring angrily at Hasegawa.

"Haha...... When you don't have the ability, it's just that, if you can, how can you let the little girl's family stand in the way? "It's probably not serious, Hasegawa still has the leisure to play cool.

Click! Click, click

As soon as these words were spoken, the shattered black armor on his body fell like shattered ice, and the large iron rod also disintegrated, revealing the sword-shaped iron bar within.

"This is ......" Before Hasegawa could say anything more, the air conditioning cabinet that he had destroyed suddenly turned into a silver-white molten metal and meandered towards him, only reshaping his original armament in an instant, and then the second half of his words came out of the urn in his helmet: "...... What's going on? ”

"[Hmph, worthy of the 'rebellious knight',] "The girl in the dark heavy armor, who could have been King Arthur, spoke again: "[No matter what state this king is, you have to appear in the opposite posture?] 】”

Why is it so natural for people to use "this king", no, wait, did she recognize the wrong person? Ryunosuke thought to himself.

"[In that case—]"

The black female version of King Arthur lowered the black sword in her hand, retreated half a step, and the darkness around her was absorbed on the sword like iron powder meeting a magnet, and then suddenly flirted:

"Excalibur Morgan! 】”
