Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"He is Roland?"

“Why did the Beast of Revelation appear in human form?”

"When did that guy arrive?"

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Everyone present was a seasoned magician, and there were countless powerful men with great reputations in the world, but no one noticed when Roland appeared.

The coalition forces, which had just been in high spirits, suddenly felt like they were falling into an icy cave, and many people showed expressions of horror on their faces.

Obviously, the current situation was something they had not anticipated at all.

It's not that they say one thing and do another.

Leaving aside the overall will of a country, the elite troops who responded to Eliza's call and came during the crisis of Britain being attacked were absolutely prepared to make sacrifices.

However, at such an impassioned mobilization meeting, it was quite surprising to find that the sudden impact of the target of criticism was indeed somewhat surprising.

This is just as embarrassing as when you are watching anime and your family members look over at you and the scene just happens to enter the welfare segment.

Roland was surrounded by fully armed knights, magicians, and even armored vehicles and large spiritual suits flying in the sky.

He was alone, with nothing but the holy sword in his hand.

But judging from the current situation, the surrounded party is more like the European coalition forces.

"Why are you silent? I was expecting something new from the so-called World Alliance... but this is the performance."

Roland had a chilling smile on his face, and his voice became increasingly cold.

"——Why do you think you can beat me like this?"

"It is indeed as you said,"

Eliza took a deep breath and stepped forward. "But if you don't try, there won't be any chance of winning."

"Anyway, if we were destined to lose anyway, then it can't get any worse than this, right?"

Now the only one who can stand up is her as the nominal leader.

This is her homeland, the hometown she vowed to protect, and the beginning of human unity.

……no way.

I originally wanted to save this last trick for the critical moment. In order to encourage this group of temporarily united rebels and truly gather them into a group with common beliefs, I must win their trust.

It is not necessary to gain the upper hand, but at least let them see an opportunity to change the status quo.

Eliza strode forward and waved her hands.

In an instant, a British Union Jack appeared in her hand, fluttering in the wind.

"A great nation like Britain could not be built with just a sword, and righteous resistance could not be stopped with just evil and violence."

"My daughter, please remember the name of this last lesson."

"This is what {Unity is about}!"

Kaylissa widened her eyes and stared blankly at Elisa under the raised flag.

Katina II, who had been hung on the opponent's waist, began to emit a dazzling white light with a strange buzzing sound.

Something unusual happened, and not only Kaylissa, but Roland also noticed it.

"A national-level spell, intended to disperse the angelic power I just acquired... No, is it aimed at the stolen Sword of the King Chosen?"

Roland watched Eliza's actions with interest. Esther was floating beside him, and white spots of light like snowflakes were also emerging from her body.

This is a rather strange phenomenon.

You know, as the strongest sword elf, Esther is born with the characteristics of the strongest steel.

Except for the force of a head-on collision, all curses, amplifications, and even contracts will be invalidated and severed by her.

Although this ability has its limits, unless it reaches the level of Artosh who can treat the eight planets in the solar system like a candied haws string with one strike, no matter how many there are, it will not affect Esther.

After all, the upper limit of Esther's tolerance is closely related to the user.

With Roland's current anti-magic power, if he doesn't draw out the unique power in the phase, he won't even be qualified to be looked at again.

but……

Roland also didn't think that Eliza would do anything stupid at this moment.

"Try it a little bit."

The moment the words fell, he suddenly raised his hand and chopped down casually.

Roland did not use his own magic power, but only used Esther's own angelic power to complete the attack, but this was powerful enough.

The next moment, a silver light that seemed to split the sky and earth spread out from the tip of the sword.

Along with it, there was also a huge ripple that was barely visible, faintly covering all the stars in the sky.

In the face of this irresistible, transcendental slash, the only thing that could be captured was the straight trace left by the stream of light that pierced through space and dimension.

As it ran, the light expanded rapidly, with a trajectory that surpassed any physical laws, swirling in the void, forming a huge vortex, and pouring into the crowd like a tsunami or landslide.

Just when it seemed that many magicians who didn't have time to evade it were about to be wiped out, another dazzling light suddenly appeared and abruptly resisted the wave.

Although it was soon torn to pieces by an even more powerful vortex of light, the time bought was enough for the remaining magicians to escape from the affected area.

"I see. This is an interesting technique."

Roland raised his eyebrows, and a faint light flashed in his red eyes, and he saw through the true face of this national-level technique.

"Since we can't replicate the orthodoxy, why don't we just work on manipulating its energy source?"

Katina, the sword of the chosen king, is the only symbol of Britain. Although the second sword in Eliza's hand has a similar ruling effect, it is completely unable to replicate the power of the original.

Therefore, in order to prevent the turmoil caused by the loss of Catina I or civil unrest, the royal families of previous generations did not forget to take countermeasures.

The national-level technique, Meaning of Unity, was created to deal with this kind of scenario.

Although it started with Catalina, to this day, the name of Britain is no longer simply Britain. The United Kingdom is its official name.

This can be seen from the national flag. The front side is made up of England, Ireland and Scotland, and the back side is made to pay tribute to Wales. The combination of the four cultures is the foundation of this country.

Eliza had hurriedly left on horseback just to retrieve the national flag so that she could use it to perform the spell.

Although this technique had never been used before in history, its effect did not disappoint the queen.

Using the principle that the power of angels was bestowed upon Katina because of his status as a king, the meaning of the alliance would be to utilize the method of re-election of the king, allowing the power of angels to be released from the sword of king election and distributed to all citizens.

They will then decide again which king they most desire, thus diverting the angelic power from the godlike being.

Because Katina's ability to sever dimensions is too great a burden for humans, and too dangerous, without the support of angelic power, even members of the royal family cannot unleash its true power.

It is precisely by relying on this tricky approach of directly restarting the wireless and opening another line since the connection cannot be disconnected that the mechanism of Esther's immunity technique can be bypassed.

As a queen recognized by the people, Eliza naturally regained the throne with an absolute advantage in this election. "It is not because you have power that you are trusted by the people, but because you have the trust of the people that you gain power. This is the so-called kingly way."

Eliza held up the Catina II in her hand and looked up at Roland with a proud look on her face.

"I admit that you are an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. Even if we gather the power of the people, we may not be able to defeat you. But in the name of Queen Eliza of Britain, no matter what happens in the end, there is no doubt that we are righteous!"

"But even if you say so, victory and evil are ultimately determined by the victor. Even if you regain this angelic power that is not even icing on the cake, it still cannot change one fact, right?"

Roland smiled without any tension, spread his hands, and grinned.

"——You are just a bunch of pathetic weaklings."

"asshole!"

Suddenly, several knights at the front of the coalition raised their swords and rushed towards Roland.

After Roland scorned Eliza's efforts and beliefs in front of them, and after they regained the power of angels, they completely let go of the shackles of fear and, driven by their sense of honor, launched the attack.

The path of the sharp sword passing through the air is like a blooming flower bud.

With his attainments in martial arts and the blessing of angelic power, if he is not a saint, there is absolutely no way he can survive this blow.

"Stupid, stop it..."

"stop--!"

But the ones who exclaimed were Eliza and the alert beauty.

"Not all of them are stupid."

Hearing the belated warning, Roland chuckled, without even looking at the sword coming towards him, and just slightly spread his arms.

In an instant, magic power surged, and invisible momentum swept across the world like a whirlwind.

As the momentum rushed over, a strange feeling arose in Kaylissa's heart.

It's like a person with severe myopia wearing suitable lenses and seeing the world clearly. Although they are all familiar scenes, people feel uneasy as if they are stuffed into a different world.

Following this feeling of uneasiness was an overwhelming feeling of dizziness that came crashing down on one's head like a tsunami or a landslide.

All the members of the coalition forces, who had just been agitated by their companion's impulsiveness, stopped moving and their expressions froze on their faces.

The blades that had been raised by the knights in the front also stopped in mid-air.

It was as if time had stopped at this moment.

Then, in a long period of time that seemed like a second, yet also seemed like a century.

The first change finally appeared.

"Bam—!"

That was the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The knights closest to Roland, with their swords raised, fell straight to the ground as if they had agreed on it.

Judging from the fact that his posture did not change even after he fell, and his body was as stiff as a doll, it was obvious that he was in great danger.

But the changes did not end there.

Bang bang bang bang—!
Sounds like thunder rang out one after another. In the coalition formation, many magicians and knights fell to the ground in unison as if wheat was being cut, making a long sound.

Except for the lifeless buildings, everything was within Roland's sight.

He was just standing there normally, yet he seemed to be the only protagonist in the world.

Although Kaylissa tried her best to remain calm, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and her face turned pale.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a major incident that would disfigure the leader's image.

But in such a situation where she was caught off guard and faced Roland's momentum, compared to those magicians who fainted or were trembling, Kaylissa, who had no spiritual equipment, was already an extraordinary person for her performance.

But even so, there was no joy in her heart.

Kaylissa stared at Roland's figure, recalling everything she had just seen. Her shocked and uneasy look was gradually replaced by despair.

She had thought that the fear of the unknown that she had felt when she saw Roland being unharmed by Katina's blow was a unique experience in her life.

Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, her outlook on life was refreshed again.

“That’s actually momentum?”

The perception of momentum is almost a human instinct.

In Kaylissa's understanding, majesty, oppression, and murderous intent are all different expressions of survival that are stimulated by the painful experiences in humans' genes when they observe words and expressions.

Just like when she obtained Katina, because the Sword of the King has the influence to manipulate the rules of Britain, although the people in the country are not aware of this rationally, their instinct will make them more inclined to obey Kaelissa in order to survive.

This was also the reason why she almost knelt down before Roland who was holding Esther.

But the so-called momentum should only be something of this degree. It may be able to show some power in magic, but it cannot change its essence as an invisible thing.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to launch a coup. Wouldn't it be better for her to just take the sword and order her mother to abdicate?

But just now, Kaylissa did vaguely feel some real thought pressing upon her.

It is upright and undisguised, and although it does not contain any malice, it is irresistible.

If we compare them by quantity, Catina's invisible majesty is at most a glass of water, while what Roland exuded before was like a boundless ocean.

This is even more true on a qualitative level. The sense of oppression Roland feels is vastly different from the Sword of the Kingchosen, which is limited to Britain. There is also a difference in dimension.

This time, the coalition's strategy was reduced by more than half before it was even implemented. Originally, they had expected to use their lives to pave the way for victory in the crusade.

Even if Roland could kill tens of thousands of people with one move, as long as he could achieve the result of using one more move and consuming more energy, then the sacrifice would be worth it.

But Roland used his actions to tell them that in front of an unimaginably powerful person, a small fry wouldn't even be qualified to go to the battlefield.

"The principle of Haki is surprisingly useful..."

Roland's eyes flickered and he smiled slightly.

Among the tens of thousands of contracted spirits snatched from the Winged Serpent, there are of course quite a few from the mainstream world.

However, because most of them were not core characters and were behind him in terms of scale, Roland did not spend much time on the techniques involved. He only remembered and replicated them when he needed to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.

But I didn’t expect the effect to be so outstanding.

In the face of such a show of force, the number of coalition forces that were still arriving in an endless stream and could still barely move was less than half of the original number.

He had been planning to stretch his muscles, just like a child who knows there's a world of difference in strength between the two, but still goes to step on an ant's nest for fun.

Now it seems that because his essence is so much nobler than the so-called qualifications to become a king, this result is even somewhat beyond the original expectations.

But he has no regrets.

"After all... even if you want a battle where many ants bite the elephant to death, you have to be an ant first, right?" (End of this chapter)
