I don't want to be a heroic spirit

…………

"No matter what, you are not going to give up using explosion magic in my castle, are you? Very good. Although I have fallen into the devil's body, I am also a knight originally and have no interest in attacking the weak. However, if you If you still want to continue to do things like that near my castle to influence me, I have my own ideas.”

"It's obviously us who are being disturbed, okay? It's all your fault for staying there and not leaving, so we can't even do our work well! However, the only time you can be so arrogant is today. There are so many of us here, There are also experts in dealing with the undead! When you get caught like this and come here alone, it shows that your strength is exhausted!"

The arrogant Megumin began to talk nonsense.

"Really? But in my opinion, there are so many of you that none of you can fight. Even if I want to kill you here! They can't stop it!"

The Headless Horseman exuded a dangerous aura and raised his left hand to point at Megumin.

"I declare your death! You will die in a week!"

There is no doubt that it is magic.

However, there is no avoiding it.

When the declaration is completely pronounced, the magic has been cast, leaving no time for Megumin to react.

Megumin couldn't react, but someone could.

"!!!"

Megumin suddenly felt her back collar being lifted up and was involuntarily pulled to the back.

When the Headless Horseman's magic was completed, Nero was already standing in front of Megumin.

"Nero!"

Seeing the faint black light flashing on Nero's body, Megumin's heart was suddenly filled with panic.

His eyes felt a little hot, and he subconsciously bit his lips with his teeth.

Why……

Chapter 282 Fighting the Headless Horseman

"I declare your death! You will die in a week!"

When the Headless Horseman's magic was completed, Nero felt that his body suddenly became very heavy.

"Did Yu... fall into a trap?"

Of course Nero didn't rush up to block Megumin's knife without any intention, she just wanted to do an experiment.

As one of the Three Knights, Saber (Swordsman), Nero also has the [Resist Magic] skill. All skills or magic used through magic can be reduced or even immune to a certain extent.

However, Nero's [Anti-Magic] level is not high. Although he does not have a better [Anti-Magic E] like Okita Souji, Nero's is [Anti-Magic C], which can chant less than two The magic of the festival is invalidated, but it cannot defend against large-scale magic such as grand magic and ritual spells.

"It seems that the magic the Headless Horseman just used has reached the level of the great magic in the moon-shaped world."

"Nero..."

The voice from behind caught Nero's attention, and he turned to look at Megumin. Nero saw fear and confusion in her eyes.

"Why……"

You must be asking yourself why you should bear this magic on her behalf, right?

"Because Yu is the emperor."

Nero showed Megumin an innocent and bright smile like a child.

"As an emperor, shouldn't you stand in front of everyone at this time?"

What kind of emperor are you?

Megumin said this in her heart, and the tearing feeling in her heart became even stronger.

At this time, the Headless Horseman not far away made a triumphant voice.

"The plan was a little disrupted. I didn't expect that you would have such an adventurous partner who values ​​​​love and justice. However, this will make you more painful, right? Listen up, girl of the Crimson Demon Clan, if this continues, what do you value? partner will die in a week, at the time of this week During this time, she will be tortured by the fear of death... Yes! It's your fault! It's your actions that caused this! Please regret your behavior! Hahahaha!”

Megumin's face turned even paler because of the Headless Horseman's words, but at this moment, Nero took a step forward.

"Yu Ke is really looked down upon..."

Nero's actions attracted the attention of everyone present. Both Megumin and the Headless Horseman closed their mouths and looked at Nero alone.

"Tormented by the fear of death? Afraid of this? Are you kidding me!"

The Great Sword Primordial Fire was held in Nero's hand and inserted into the ground.

"I once saw the sunset three times in the endless wilderness, in a desperate situation with no one watching!"

"Awakened by the illusory cheers, when I woke up, all I could see was the wilderness stained red by the remaining blood and the setting sun. My throat was pierced and I couldn't speak, and my body became cold because the blood was drained."

"Death? It's just something that Yu has crossed over and abandoned!"

The sword was flowing with blood-red flames, and Nero's high-spirited words echoed throughout the world and echoed in everyone's ears.

"My name is Nero! Nero Claudius! He is the emperor of Rome! The gorgeous roses are still blooming on the wilderness under the setting sun!"

"These hands once touched the dazzling stars in the sky! These shoulders once carried the future of tens of millions of people!"

"The death of just one person, the remaining minutes will be passed for you to see!"

How should I put it? Nero's words are a bit like the speech of a chuunibyou, which makes people a little confused at first glance.

However, the aura that naturally exudes from Nero makes people unable to help but feel convinced.

It makes people feel that "she is not just talking".

"So that's how it is. Your temperament is not fake. I believe you are the emperor of an empire."

The Dullahan spoke with a strong awe in his tone.

"This awareness, this will... Indeed, it is an insult to you to say that you will be afraid of death just now. I want to apologize to you here. Even the monarch I once served and the king of this country may not have such a strong will as you. My knight soul that remains in this body is urging me to be loyal to you."

"The future of all people depends on the will of one person alone? There is such an emperor in this world..."

"But unfortunately, from the moment you stepped forward, your death was doomed."

The Dullahan seemed very confident in the death declaration he made.

But Nero didn't think so.

Let alone Aqua, who claims to be able to remove any curse, even if she really fails at the critical moment, Nero can rely on the skill [Even if the sunset comes three times A] to revive.

And...

Nero raised the burning sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the headless knight on the hill.

"As long as you, the caster, are eliminated, the curse on me can be broken, right?"

Nero's words stunned the headless knight for a moment, and then nodded.

"Yes, as long as you can defeat me as a caster, then, as a reward, I can indeed..."

The headless knight didn't have time to finish his words.

Because Nero, holding the sword, had already arrived in front of it.

The headless knight could clearly see the confident smile on Nero's face.

"I've been waiting for you to say this!"

The greatsword Primordial Fire swung out fiercely, and the flowing red flames followed closely.

Before being chopped, the headless knight felt the burning sensation first.

The attack that tended to be a sneak attack hit directly, and the rewinding flames turned into a surging wave.

The next moment, the wave of flames was separated.

The undead warhorse was burned to ashes, and the headless knight rushed out of the sea of ​​fire. The pitch-black giant sword chopped down with the force of splitting Huashan Mountain, and collided with Nero's greatsword Primordial Fire.

Dazzling sparks splashed from the collision of the two swords, and the knight's giant sword, which had been partially relieved by Nero, chopped diagonally on the ground at Nero's feet.

The aftermath of the collision smashed the surrounding broken rocks into pieces.

Sinking his waist to stabilize his lower body, Nero kicked the headless knight's lower abdomen with a kick. The energy that penetrated his body turned into a translucent whirlwind and shattered the flames behind him, and then flew backwards with the headless knight's body.

Looking at the headless knight who quickly stabilized his body in the distance, Nero's eyes were solemn.

"Muscle strength... is it not an advantage?"

The headless knight was a warrior with superb martial arts when he was alive, but Nero was not. As an emperor, she was not good at martial arts.

The reason why she was able to fight against the Dullahan and even gain the upper hand was because she used [Emperor's Privilege EX] to make herself possess unparalleled martial arts.

But it was useless to have unparalleled martial arts, because Nero's strength and durability were only D.

Although [Emperor's Privilege EX] was a panacea, it could not improve all abilities at the same time.

But soon, Nero came up with a countermeasure.

"Just strengthen your strength at the moment the attack hits."

Chapter 283 Let's cheer for Yu's victory!

Under the helmet, the Dullahan turned his eyes to look at the place where he was kicked by Nero just now, and made a surprised sound.

"I admit that I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you are not only a great emperor, but also a powerful warrior. If we only talk about martial arts, I may not be as good as you."

"But, your strength seems to be not as great as mine. After becoming a Dullahan, my attributes have far surpassed my human self. Don't blame me for playing tricks. I have no reason not to use my own advantages, right?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame you for being just a human!"

The Dullahan's words were full of confidence, as if victory was already in its hands.

Nero laughed at this.

"Advantages? Disadvantages? Um! These are just things that I can change with a thought."

"Everything is in my hands, open your eyes and let me see! This is the absolute privilege that belongs only to the emperor!"

The next moment, Nero used the greatsword Primordial Fire to pose as Ping Qingyan.

The skill [Shrinking the Earth] was activated, and the distance of 100 meters was crossed in an instant.

The flaming sword collided with the Dullahan's sword again. The Dullahan poured the force into the ground through his feet. Then, with the Dullahan as the center, the ground began to sink.

"Don't even think about using that weird speed again!"

After becoming the Dullahan, it lost the limit of its life span and experienced more battles than anyone else.

It can gradually adapt to the weird speed brought by the shrinking earth.

In this case...

"Then let's not compare speed."

When he saw Nero's slightly raised mouth, the Dullahan suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Without giving it a chance to react, the ferocious power comparable to that of a dragon surged along the hand holding the sword.

"See this power that is comparable to that of Hercules!"

In Nero's petite body, an unparalleled absolute violence suddenly broke out!

At this moment, Nero seemed to have the majesty of ten mountains! The power of a hundred rivers! The strength of a thousand dragons!

The headless knight wanted to resist, but in the face of this absolute violence, he was like a stone in the torrent, and was blown away involuntarily, like a cannonball.

Even the black knight's great sword that had accompanied him in battle for many years made a sound of being overwhelmed by Nero's blow.

Nero actually admired the great hero Hercules in Greek mythology. He almost strangled a lion naked in the arena during his lifetime, and claimed that his motivation was to imitate Hercules' feat.

By exerting [Emperor's Privilege EX] with all his strength, Nero burst out with a huge violence comparable to Hercules in that moment.

At the moment when the headless knight was violently blown away, the overflowing energy turned into a surging wind and waves.

The land was blown away.

The rocks were shattered.

Huihui, who was the closest and the smallest, did not expect that she would be in danger even if she watched the battle, and was blown away by the wind and waves.

The adventurers under the city gate were also in a commotion, unable to stand up straight in the wind and waves.

Except for Darkness, who not only did not bend but also stood straight, and then used her face to catch a piece of broken rock blown by the wind, and fell down peacefully with an expression of "thank God".

On the messy plain, Nero stood proudly.
