Could he take them away?
Nonsense, of course not now, but that doesn't mean he couldn't in the future.
The reason for saying this now was also to scare them a bit.
"Alright, stop making things difficult for them."
Sephie beside him lightly patted Kaito's shoulder and gave him a small, helpless glare.
"Haha, alright, alright."
Looking at the somewhat charming and coquettish Sephie, Kaito felt a bit embarrassed.
He did intend to tease Erica and Liliana a bit, just to see their reactions.
But did he have absolutely no ulterior motive?
Honestly, he really did like this kind of 'maid', you know?
"Alright, do you two have any other questions?"
He asked them again, but the two had already obtained the most important information. They glanced at each other, then each shook their heads and expressed their thanks.
"By the way, have you contacted Luo Hao?"
"Contacted, but she said she hopes you will go there in person."
"Go there in person?"
Erica answered somewhat tremblingly.
For her, neither side was someone to provoke, and naturally Kaito was the most unprovokable...
But, even though she had become Kaito's 'maid', she still didn't dare to provoke Luo Hao!
Luo Hao was a renowned and powerful Devil King, one who fought evenly with the oldest Devil King, Voban, and could even gain the upper hand!
"Master, perhaps the Devil King Luo has some matters that make it inconvenient for her to come..."
"No need to make excuses for her."
Kaito knew what kind of person Luo Hao was.
Since Luo Hao wanted him to go, he would find time to go.
He also wanted to fight her, to see if her martial arts were stronger or his strength was stronger. If she was stronger, maybe he could learn some useful combat skills from her.
If he was stronger, then Rex Lapis is awesome!
Rumble—!!
Suddenly, thunder sounded outside the window.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Kaito saw the sky outside suddenly become overcast with dark clouds, and naturally knew that Melqart had been summoned.
However...
Rather than summoning, it was more like waking him from slumber (recovering from injuries).
"Alright, time to work."
Kaito stood up, stretched his limbs, walked to the courtyard, easily jumped onto the roof, and observed. Soon, he spotted a figure as large as a giant mountain in the distance.
Barring any accidents, that was Melqart.
"Sephie, you don't need to follow this time, to avoid getting caught in the rain."
"Okay, Kaito."
Although getting caught in the rain wouldn't affect her at all, being cared for made Sephie very happy.
As for worrying, according to what Kaito told her last night, Melqart was not as strong as Verethragna. Since he had already defeated Verethragna, Melqart was even less of a concern.
"Wishing you a victorious return."
"Hmm!"
Kaito nodded to Sephie, then generated a huge rock spear and threw it with all his might towards Melqart's direction.
At the same time, he quickly jumped onto it.
Just like Tao Pai Pai's method of travel, Kaito stood steadily on the huge rock spear, heading there at over ten times the speed of sound.
"Hmm?"
Bang—!!!
The huge rock spear headed towards its destination and was about to pierce Melqart's heart.
Already sensing this attack, Melqart swung his club, slightly turning and violently smashing it to pieces.
"Lucretia, you've worked hard. You can go back now."
"Okay, King."
Kaito had already jumped off the huge spear. After being carried forward a distance by inertia, he landed steadily right beside the fleeing Lucretia.
Looking at Melqart's state, it was clear he had been awakened by her provocation while in an angry state, and the shields Kaito had originally placed on her were already shattered.
"Hmph, a Campione, huh..."
Melqart noticed Kaito and, smelling the scent of a Campione on him, said with some disgust, then unceremoniously swung his club down.
"Well, you'd better hurry."
'A bit irritable, huh'
'But then again, I was the one who actively attacked first.'
Kaito waved his right hand, and a huge stone pillar rose from the ground, blocking Melqart's descending club. The stone pillar was also smashed into a large chunk.
It seemed giants had their advantages, namely their immense strength.
Even the rocks Kaito currently created couldn't fully defend against it.
However, Kaito hadn't invested much magical energy into the stone pillar to strengthen its hardness anyway.
But now, the rock blocks he casually conjured could already be considered the hardest stones in this world.
Looking up at the rock fragments in the sky, Kaito placed a few more shields on the fleeing Lucretia, then leaped into the air.
Now that the battle had begun, Kaito couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries.
He wasn't Verethragna, who possessed abilities Kaito coveted.
Especially the locusts, which he particularly disliked.
Even though swarming seemed strong, he had absolutely no fondness for insect-like things.
Except for the Zerg Queen, Kerrigan.
Ahem ahem!
"Perfect, let's test the power of the golden sword."
[Warrior]
When one has detailed knowledge of the god serving as an opponent, they can use a divine word to manifest the golden sword for attack.
Against a god, it's equivalent to the strongest shield and strongest sword. However, continuous use consumes energy just like a real sword.
During the ability's activation, physical ability is enhanced, and one gains the insight to perceive the god's essence.
"[By the skill of my divine word, let justice manifest in the world! This spell is powerful and eloquent! It is the wisdom sword that summons victory!!]"
Since he didn't have other Authorities like [White Stallion], Kaito only had this divine word to chant, and couldn't have other special effects.
But this was enough.
Golden sword, draw!!
This time, it was no longer used as a mere weapon, but a sword drawn specifically against Melqart!
Therefore, his physical abilities were enhanced, and all perception abilities were strengthened.
This was also why Godou's combat power increased significantly after obtaining the golden sword.
The Warrior Authority, you know.
"Golden sword? Could it be... you killed Verethragna!?"
"Hahahaha! I never expected Verethragna to die by your hand?"
"But, this old man here has no intention of avenging him. On the contrary, I want to kill you even more, because of the sword in your hand!"
Melqart knew all too well the effects of this sword.
While surprised at Kaito, he also felt a trace of fear towards him.
However, he was the King of Gods, a great warrior, the strongest hunter who slew dragons!
Rumble—!!
Like a disastrous storm, it officially descended!
And in the center of this doomsday-like disaster, Kaito did one thing: he flipped the middle finger as a sign of friendship!
