Under the shroud of the "Sword of Oath Victory", all the evil and cold aura was completely purged, and only the holy aura was left to fill the heavens and the earth.

In the next moment, all the skeleton soldiers were engulfed in golden light, and their limbs quickly fell apart!

Although their bodies were quickly purified in the golden light, and the black gas continued to rise with a "squeak" sound, the skeletal soldiers were just extremely silent the whole time, as if they had long accepted their fate.

In this way, the golden light penetrated through the bodies of countless skeleton soldiers, and with the slightest residual power, he went straight to Darius III, who commanded the army in the rear!

"Roar!"

Feeling the power of faith contained in that golden light, Darius III let out an angry roar!

Streams of red furious energy flowed through Darius III's majestic muscles, making his already knotted muscles even more hideous and terrifying!

With a pair of heavy axes across his chest, Darius III tried with all his might to make a final stand.

And yet—

Those seemingly terrifying giant axes were like mantis arms as a cart in the face of the full force of the holy sword, and they were useless at all.

"Bang-bang-"

A few cracks peculiar to metal, it was the giant axe in Darius III's hand that could not withstand the pressure of the golden light, shattered inch by inch, and turned into iron filings that completely lost their meaning!

"Whew-"

In the end, the invincible golden light slammed into his chest under the unwilling roar of Darius III, and the power was completely released!

The entire space has become a sea of gold, engulfing everyone's vision......

After a while, the light dissipated, and the sky was clear and clear again.

At a glance, there are only two people standing on the battlefield-

The blonde girl who maintains the posture of unleashing the holy sword, and Darius III, who has lost his double axe, stands opposite with his bare hands.

However, on Darius III's dark and strong chest as steel, a large transparent hole could be clearly seen, and all the internal organs in it were gone!

Obviously, Artoria's "Sword of Oath of Victory" pierced directly through the opponent's chest, causing fatal wounds!

With such an injury, even the Heroic Spirit can only retire.

"Ahem...... Is...... It's a shame, because of the defeat to become a heroic spirit, and after that, I still continue to taste the taste of defeat...... It's a disgusting cycle of contradictions......"

Bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Darius III coughed violently, his eyes full of deep helplessness as he regained his senses as he was dying.

"Your Excellency's courage and belief in protecting your homeland at all costs, I have fully felt it. But you should not insult the bodies of my British warriors, for it is enough for me to resolve to punish you with the holy sword. The girl calmly took the other party's words, "If there is a chance to fight next time, I will start a real duel with you as a knight, and the confrontation of body, mind and even will will be completely carried out to the end!" ”

"Haha, forget it. A warrior who can fight the king of knights head-on is not something a small person like me is qualified to become. I should go back to my own world. Smiling freely, Darius III turned his deep gaze to Iskandar, who had somehow come to the body of Iskandar, who was standing beside us.

While Darius III stared at Iskander, Iskandar also looked back at each other with a solemn expression.

The two stared at each other for a long time, speechless.

"Iskandar...... One day, I will defeat you head-on. I...... I don't want to exist as a loser who stops your attempted crusade, but I want to truly surpass you and break through the insurmountable fate! ”

It was a long time before Darius III spoke slowly.

However, at the same time, his body was slowly glowing and fading, and it seemed that he was already on his way back to Valhalla.

"Well, the king's greatest enemy and friend in his life, Darius III!" Iskandar smiled heartily, "There are only a few people in this king's life who have been respected by this king from the bottom of his heart, and you are one of them. If this is your will, then this king will welcome your challenge anytime and anywhere! ”

"Next time, fight again!"

The two said this almost in unison.

Then, Darius's body became transparent, and finally turned into a white light that was sucked back into the sea of clouds......

“…… This guy didn't walk happily, at least he drank two scoops of wine with this king...... "Iskandar" twisted his neck, looking "oops, oops".

"......" and contrary to Iskandar's jumping activity, the blonde girl on the other side stands motionless, as if transformed into a beautiful statue gazing into the distance.

"Artoria, are you alright?"

Feeling that the girl's appearance was a little too quiet, I stepped forward and gently patted her delicate and slender shoulder.

Unexpectedly, under this beat, the girl's body instantly lost its center of gravity as if it had no weight at all, and fell straight in my direction!

“——！” I was full of excitement, and quickly bent down and sat on the ground, so that the girl's completely limp body lay into my arms.

The girl's lips twitched up and down slightly, but her breath was so weak that even if she put her ear to her lips, she couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Iskander! Don't lament life there, come over and see what's going on with Artoria! ”

In a hurry, I completely ignored the identity of the conquering king of Iskander, and directly shouted to him.

"Little ghost, don't worry, let this king take a look." Perhaps knowing my feelings, Iskandar didn't care if he was offended, and stepped forward to put two thick fingers under the girl's delicate nose for a while, and then put his broad palm on her snow-white forehead to feel it.

"How's it going, did you find anything?" Seeing Iskander's thoughtful expression, I couldn't help but grab the hem of his clothes and ask.

"Little ghost, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Iskandar took a breath before turning to look at me.

"Let's start with the good news." I thought about it.

"The good news is that the Knight King is not in serious trouble, but he has lost his strength due to using the holy sword under the human body and trying too hard. Just rest for a few days and you'll be back to normal. Iskandar said, holding up a finger.

"Oh, I'm relieved." I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"But there's also bad news. Due to the release of the holy sword, the identity of the Knight King is equivalent to being revealed. So the impact she is now under from the corrective power of the times is also unprecedented. If you don't take action, the Knight King could disappear at any time! Iskandar's expression was serious.
