The Demon God raised one of his hands, aiming it at the sky in preparation for defense. At this very moment, Aslan rushed out. Since the appetizer had already appeared, next up was the main course. It was just that the serving time between the appetizer and the main course was a bit tight; hopefully, the Demon God before him wouldn't choke before he could eat.
Of course, if he choked to death directly, that would naturally be even better.
Eat my dual-blade attack!! Oh Demon God! Is it my left hand's Demonic Sword you deserve to be hacked by? Or is it the Holy Sword in my right hand? Or perhaps, both swords? Regardless of which sword you deserve, I want to hack both onto your body anyway. Yohohoho!
Pah! Be serious!
Perhaps because Lucius personally acknowledged him, Aslan could easily use the red Demonic Sword in his hand. Although it wasn't exactly of the same origin as his own magical energy, if Heroic Spirits had titles, right now Aslan would probably have this one hanging over his head: the title of [Quasi-Roman Empress].
As for who would eventually benefit from this, it was unknown. After all... before disappearing, Lucius had only said one thing: "You will eventually become my Roman Empress; it was destined from the day I set my eyes on you."
Ma Perhaps in a certain future Holy Grail War, it might benefit a certain Tyrant Emperor who wears a red dress, whose catchphrase is "Umu," and whose name is so long it's hard to say in one breath
Facing the Demonic Sword slashed by Aslan, the Demon God could only wave his arm to defend. The arm collided with the dark red light. It was as if a massive amount of thorny vines were growing savagely outward from this Demonic Sword, constantly tearing at the surroundings. The magical energy erupting from this Demonic Sword was like thorns, causing a stinging sensation.
Even just looking at it with the naked eye, one seemed to receive a bit of a curse. Those vines were enough to twine within the eyes, subsequently causing one to lose their sight forever. This was, after all, a Demonic Sword. Unless one was the destined person or strong enough to suppress it, one could not pick up this Demonic Sword. Moreover, the status of this Demonic Sword was very special; it was the Sword of the Emperor. Only the one possessing this sword represented the qualification to rule all of Rome.
[Rome] is a name that the human world cannot bypass. The weight of this Demonic Sword, which possesses the qualification to rule all of Rome, can be imagined. Relying solely on this Demonic Sword allows it to reach the Noble Phantasm Rank of A++. How many weapons of this level are there in this world?
If not for Lucius's acknowledgment, even Aslan would probably have to endure the curse of the Roman Flower Goddess if he wanted to activate this weapon. At that time, not only would he be unable to display the full power of this Demonic Sword, but he would probably lose his own fresh blood or vitality with every swing. Look at Mordred; the Demonic Sword ruling Gaul had its rank lowered by more than just a little bit because it was used forcibly without acknowledgment.
And what allows Mordred to erupt with powerful strength is the Noble Phantasm transformed from her deeds throughout her life: [Secret of Pedigree - Clarent Blood Arthur]. To some extent, just like the dagger in Medea's hand, the power erupted is not the might of the Demonic Sword of Gaulish rulership itself.
It must be said that in this world, the categories of Heroic Spirit Noble Phantasms are truly very rich. At the same time, some Noble Phantasms are very easy to mix up. Probably many people think the crimson lightning erupted from Mordred's Noble Phantasm release is the power of that Demonic Sword representing the rule of Gaul.
Unlike the Holy Sword in his hand representing British kingship and victory, this Demonic Sword represented Roman imperial power and magnificent conquest. In terms of power, the Demonic Sword in his hand was more irritable. As for why he used it to deal with the Demon God before him... he couldn't compare the highs and lows of the two Noble Phantasms, but using the Demonic Sword would at least make this Demon God feel more pain and suffering.
If the Holy Sword cut off this Demon God's body cleanly and crisply, how could it compare to the pain of scraping his flesh and bones off bit by bit with a blunt knife? Since the Demon God before him had made a move against people he cared about, he couldn't be blamed for being a little cruel.
Aslan never considered himself to be a strictly good person. The era he was born in was an era of war. In that era, if he were too kind, he would only be oppressed by others. Moreover, with the abilities he mastered, if he were too kind, he would eventually only be reduced to a puppet tool for those separatist kings of Britain.
Coupled with his special bloodline, he indeed had the qualification to inherit the throne. If his identity were exposed, it would only attract more people to use him. So he absolutely could not be that kind. Furthermore, even so, after Aslan became famous, hadn't he been pressured by that noble girl using her status?
Although that girl eventually received a sword similar to a curse from his hands. Under such circumstances, how could he be kind? Also, don't look at how pure the fairies in legends are; at least the fairies Aslan knew were all doing their best to suppress their other side.
At least those fairies understood that once they allowed their other side to run rampant, it would only bring disaster to Britain. Just like insects have beautiful, cute existences and also ferocious, ugly existences, they are inherently two-sided. And Aslan, raised by fairies, was more or less tainted with a bit of the characteristics of the fairies' other side.
Smiling while communicating with you, then stabbing a dagger directly through your stomach—this was something that could possibly happen with Aslan. One should be thankful that Aslan hadn't received too much stimulation, nor had he experienced too dark a period. At the same time, his life during these 1,500 years could be considered comfortable.
Otherwise, in this world, Aslan, who flowed with the blood of the White Dragon, was the most likely to inherit the name Vortigern. That is, the name of the existence destined to master the destruction of the British Isle.
The Demon God concentrated most of his power on the arm resisting the Dragon's Breath from the sky. The remaining arm could also block the eruption of the Demonic Sword. Their outer shell having been shattered, right now they could fall into a state of full-power eruption for a short time, so blocking the release of a Noble Phantasm with one hand wasn't considered difficult.
However, seizing this opportunity, the Holy Sword in Aslan's other hand had already adjusted its direction and stabbed toward the Demon God's chest. It was not an explosion of powerful magical energy covering forward, but magical energy thoroughly enveloping this Holy Sword.
