Have they been hypnotized by me?

[The Sword in the Stone] is just a symbol. It is not an indestructible artifact. Although it can provide magic power, it is limited...

In a battle of this intensity just now, the [Sword in the Stone] will break after just a few rounds...

When facing a monster like a natural disaster, the secular kingdom can only fold its hands and pray that it will not be blown away by the disaster.

These thoughts only happened in a split second, and the girl's thoughts had never moved so fast.

In her eyes, the [Sword in the Stone] collapsed, and countless tiny fragments splashed out. She had no time to care about this kind of thing. The most important thing now was to survive.

So she immediately changed the sword lying in front of her to be held diagonally, lifted the huge force of the dragon's claws upwards, and rolled to avoid the dragon's claws.

The next moment, only the broken sword was left in the girl's hand.

"Are you going to help her?" Echidna said.

"No need, Artoria hasn't given up yet...and even if she is in danger, I will be ready to protect her at any time. I am absolutely sure." Nan Zhukong said.

"You really dote on her..." Echidna looked at the girl who was still fighting with complicated eyes. The sword in her hand had been broken. At this moment, she was holding the broken sword to fight the dragon.

She jumped to dodge, she raised her sword to release her strength, she rolled to escape... She was a little embarrassed, like a small boat teetering in the strong wind.

But even so, she fought truly and openly, in order to give herself the courage and strength to protect the things she wanted to protect now and in the future.

"Hiss..." Her body is a little sore because she frequently uses the "fan" to exorcise fire. This is a technique that requires a lot of strength. After the [Sword in the Stone] is broken, she will have no source of magic power and cannot continue to replenish the magic power. Have to bear the physical fatigue.

"Aren't you going yet? Little Arturia can't hold on anymore." Echidna, who was controlling the cold magic to drive away fire, said,

"It's coming soon... Now that the layout is almost complete, we can introduce the second most important gain of this trip - the most important gain is Artoria's growth."

Nan Zhukong took out a strange model disk. There was a blue area on the model disk, which probably represented a lake, and around the lake... there were swords and scabbards.

16. Various martial arts, this is the light cannon

The power of [Magic] comes from the spirit and life of the magician, and its implementation requires a certain amount of symbolism and will. Legends, religions, and myths are just very suitable as symbolic media for casting spells - this is Nan Zhukong's slightly modified magic. Definition of magic.

[Idol Effect] is to evoke the power in these symbols by arranging scenes similar to myths, religions, legends, etc., and stimulate magic.

How similar is the model plate that Nan Zhukong is taking out now to the "Blessing of the Lake Spirit" in the legend of King Arthur?He probably wants to use similar scenes to trigger power...

Echidona, who had listened to a lot of Nan Zhukong's magic theories, thought so when she looked at what Nan Zhukong took out.

But in fact this is not the case, rather the opposite is true.

[Do you want to directly reverse the idol effect? ​​Instead, use the model to control the actual body. You are indeed a genius... Well, let's call it sand table exercise. 】

Othinus sat on Nan Zhukong's head, looking down from a high position, with a slight curiosity in his emerald green eyes, wondering where the young man's talent came from. This is something that ordinary magicians cannot do in their lives. .

[As a creator, my power is unlimited. 】

Nan Zhukong answered in his mind.

Artoria was still fighting with the dragon. Nan Zhukong gently raised his hand, and his whole hand actually stretched directly into the lake of the model plate.

Then, he pulled out a model of an elf.

The model of the elf is struggling, but when reflected in reality, an elf really appears in the lake of reality. Its eyes are dull and it is just struggling.

Nan Zhukong gently moved the model sword and scabbard with his other hand, and a gorgeous holy sword and its scabbard actually appeared in reality.

"Choose, Excalibur or Avalon..." Such a voice came from the dull elf's mouth.

Nan Zhukong grabbed the model of the sword and scabbard and threw the elf back into the lake...

"Does that need to be said? Of course you need them all, including the sword and the scabbard. Only then can you call yourself sound." Nan Zhukong said.

The power of Avalon and Excalibur are connected to the inside of this world. If part of the inside of the world is missing, it may not be possible to recreate the scene from "The Legend of King Arthur". After finding out the location of the two Noble Phantasms, Nan Zhukong used another method to forcefully pull out the two Noble Phantasms from the "inside of the world".

The two treasures fell in front of Nan Zhukong. He lifted them up and gently exhaled a breath. He felt a little tired now. Using his unlimited power as a creator was an act that consumed his life and spirit. ——Fortunately, he has [Infinity].

"Mr. Sage, your hair..." Echidna noticed something wrong with Nan Zhukong. A lock of hair on his forehead turned white...

"Well...it's just a little consumption, but don't worry, you will recover soon." Nan Zhukong pinched his white hair, which was full of corruption, as if he was dead—— This consumption seems to be not ordinary, and the time it takes to replenish it is not long but not short either.

Speaking of which, since possessing [Infinity], Nan Zhukong's energy has never been exhausted, and his vitality has been growing. This is the first time that something has exceeded the growth rate of his life, directly turning part of his body into what it is now. Kind of like.

"Really..." Echidna was silent.

She was a little curious about Nan Zhukong's words of "recovering soon". She could tell that Nan Zhukong's hair was full of the smell of grayness and death, which smelled very unpleasant...

However, it was more than curiosity. She was a little worried about Nan Zhukong's situation.

She didn't know what to say, she just looked at the person in front of her, watching him continue to perform and use magic - magic didn't matter to her now, she was just looking at the person named Nan Zhukong, worrying about his life Something went wrong because of this thing called [Magic].

[This technology of directly reproducing the legend itself through rituals was originally a great undertaking that required thousands of magicians to complete together. Your ability...has grown rapidly. 】

Othinus expressed his evaluation as always, this time no longer with arrogance.

【Thank you for the compliment...】

[This is not to praise you, but to give you a clear understanding. This is the scale of thousands of magicians consuming life and spirit together. If you use it frequently, even if you have the technology to restore vitality, you will not be able to withstand the consequences it brings. consumption. 】

Othinus prompted, roughly explaining the consequences that this behavior would bring to him now.

[Don’t worry, it will be replenished soon, about half a year. 】

Nan Zhukong touched his chin, roughly estimated the life force consumed, and said this.

【It would be great if that were the case...】

Othinus sighed slightly.

While Nan Zhukong was talking to the two girls, he threw the "Sword of Victory (Excalibur)" he had obtained to Artoria over there.

"Go on! Artoria!" Nan Zhukong shouted.

The girl who was still dodging looked behind her after hearing this, and saw Nan Zhukong throwing a more gorgeous holy sword to her...

The girl reached out to catch the "Sword of Victory (Excalibur)", but as soon as she got it, she was hit by the dragon's claw...

Nan Zhukong didn't panic at all, because the girl had already obtained the weapon...

The red dragon hit the girl with its claws. After the battle, it raised its head and roared, seeming to declare its victory.

The next moment, its dragon claws were lifted up. The sudden resistance made it feel overwhelmed, and its body lost its balance due to the sudden attack.

The next moment, the girl covered in dust stood up from the ground that was bumpy due to the battle. The hairband on her head was broken due to the battle. Her long golden hair was shaking, blooming with the light shining on her body, and the magic power was like The girl's holy spirit shines with golden light, shooting straight to the sky.

Huge magic power surged out of the girl's body like a fountain, sprayed into the sky, and then turned into golden light spots and fell to the ground, like gold.

Golden light spots fell on the ground, and the scorched ground sprouted buds and flowers, turning into a sea of ​​flowers near the lake.

In this sea of ​​flowers, facing the giant dragon, the girl breathed a sigh of relief...

She held the holy sword and raised it. How to use it, the holy sword and the teacher had already told her...

So she held up the holy sword as if she were holding a light cannon, pointing the sword tip straight at the red dragon.

Various martial arts, this is the light cannon.

"Excailbur!" With a very powerful shout, the girl's voice and light greeted the red dragon over there.

The red dragon had no time to escape and was reduced to ashes under the girl's "light cannon", leaving only a red crystal stone. This is the "heart of the red dragon" and is the source of its magic power.

17. Reunion of the Dragon Maid

"This is a good thing. Why don't you take Artoria with you?" Echidna looked at the [Red Dragon's Heart] in Nan Zhukong's hand, and looked at Arturi who was standing next to her and stared at the broken sword. Ya, said with a smile.

[Red Dragon's Heart] As the red dragon's magic organ, it can continuously produce magic power, otherwise the red dragon would not be able to release so much dragon breath.

Echidona just asked for it from Nan Zhukong. After a little research, she understood... It didn't interest her, and Nan Zhukong didn't need this kind of thing. From the most utilitarian point of view, Al Tolia needs this thing the most. This thing seems to be able to fuse with the body and become a continuous melting pot of magic power in the body.

"That's fine, after all, neither you nor I need it. Giving it to Artoria can just improve the adaptability of magic power..." Nan Zhukong said.

So, Nan Zhukong shouted softly.

"Take it, Artoria!" Nan Zhukong gently threw the [Red Dragon's Heart] to the girl.

"Ah...oh? Teacher, are you going to give it to me?" The girl who was in a daze had just come back to her senses, staring blankly at the red crystal that seemed to be beating and shining in front of her, feeling the powerful magic power in it... .

"That's right, take it and protect the people you want to protect. I hope to see your active performance." Nan Zhukong walked over and gently touched the girl's head, making the girl's cheeks instantly turn red. .

Even through her hair, it can cause a reaction in the girl's body and make the girl's heart beat.

Nan Zhukong saw the girl's reaction and raised his hand belatedly...

Uh... I got a little excited after seeing the girl's achievements, and forgot about this...

Nan Zhukong raised his hand and leaned back slightly.

At least he is still her teacher now, so it would be better not to take the initiative.

Blushing and staying there for a long time, the girl finally put the [Red Dragon's Heart] away.

In the girl's pocket, [Red Dragon's Heart] was beating, and then seemed to become smaller, as if it was being absorbed by the girl...

"Okay, it's time to go..." Nan Zhukong paused, brushed the lock of hair on his forehead, feeling the gray and defeated atmosphere in it, and sighed slightly.

It's a little troublesome...but I can make up for it as long as I don't have anything to do recently...

At this moment, shadows are cast in the sky...

The huge dragon shadow was projected on the ground, and the next moment, Nan Zhukong and others looked back, and another giant dragon was already standing in front of Nan Zhukong and others.

"~~~" The huge vertical pupils opened, and these eyes were bigger than their whole bodies.

"Huh..." Arturia stood in front of Nan Zhukong and Echidna, immediately raised her sword and looked at her warily.

"Huh?" Echidna exclaimed. The guy in front of her had bottomless power, but was surprisingly not hostile. She was a little curious about this guy's origins...

However, this curiosity only lasted for a short time. Her attention returned to Nan Zhukong. She was very worried about Nan Zhukong's injuries, so she was curious about how to solve the problem... This is what she is doing now The most important thing.

"Well, we meet again, Thor." Nan Zhukong said with a smile, as if meeting an old friend.

"..." The giant dragon did not speak, but just let its body emit light. In the light, the outline of the giant dragon gradually turned into a girl...

After a moment, a giant girl wearing a maid outfit, with dragon horns, a long tail sticking out from behind, and blond twin tails appeared in front of her.

Her golden vertical pupils were full of surprises, projecting full of love. She came to Nan Zhukong with a smile.

Arturia and Echidna did not stop her, because Nan Zhukong seemed to know her and had a good relationship with her...

The two just looked at them, a little curious about what would happen next...

"Akong~~~Long time no see, I miss you so much~~~" The dragon girl in maid uniform directly hugged Nan Zhukong into her arms, hugged him hard, and let him be buried in the girl's majestic bosom. , almost out of breath...

"Wait... wait, teacher, what... is going on?!" Arturia almost couldn't hold the holy sword steady.

"Oh, it seems that this is one of Mr. Sage's lovers..."

After a long time, Nan Zhukong broke free from the girl's arms...

He looked at Thor opposite and felt the love in her eyes...

We've only met once, but it's like this... is it love at first sight?

Thor's eyes are filled with unabashed love, that's how she exists...

"Well, long time no see, I miss you too, Thor." Nan Zhukong smiled and said this to the girl whom he met for the second time...

But he was sincere. After all, he was even more outrageous than Thor when it came to falling in love at first sight. He fell in love with them when he first came up with the idea of ​​creating this world.

I fell in love before I even met her...

------------

"Ugh..." Artoria was a little angry. She turned her head to prevent herself from looking at the two people over there, took out her [Red Dragon Heart], rubbed it, and puffed her mouth slightly.

I really want to go up and separate those two people, but... But, that is the teacher's lover, and her relationship with the teacher is much deeper than her...

I am a latecomer, and I don’t have any special relationship with the teacher. I can only watch it, so I can’t bear to do it...

The rising magic power of the girl's holy sword has even become darker due to her current mood, but its power is stronger...

"Hmm... It seems that Mr. Sage will never be bored around him." Echidna looked at Thor with interest. This was the first time she had seen a dragon that could change its form, and the breath of this dragon Different from the traditional dragon, she seems to be some kind of higher-level existence.

Echidna suddenly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, and secretly took out a crystal.

She observed Thor through the crystal and examined the emotion on her body - this was an energy analysis device made by Echidna through alchemy. Through it, she could roughly observe the energy situation.

There must be some mystery in such a huge amount of energy.

However, Echidna was a little shocked. From her observation, Thor's total energy was only ten times stronger than that of the red dragon... which seemed a bit too weak.

There must be some secret in her body, and the desire to explore has been aroused...
