Grey sky, barren scorched earth.

The lava demon stood on the earth and roared. Several volcanoes erupted at the same time, rolling up smoke and smoke, just like a doomsday catastrophe.

"Hahaha……"

The lava demon laughed heartily, "Isn't this the human from last time? I thought you were burned to ashes, but I didn't expect you escaped. I won't let you go this time, along with your companions..."

 Having said this, a sword light fell down.

 Aigaras paused in his words, his expression became stiff, and his upper body slowly slid down.

The Sun Knight shouldered his sword with a bored look on his face.

“If all the so-called demon gods are like this, then the human beings in this world are really scumbag.”

Morgan ignored Escanor's taunt.

 Having experienced so many battles together, she has somewhat understood the character of this Sun Knight: extremely arrogant.

 Although he is arrogant, he is not malicious.

 As for the girl, it doesn't matter whether he has malicious intentions or not, she is not the kind of woman who would be angry because of such things.

 She merely stared at the Fallen Sword.

There was a faint vortex flickering at the tip of the sword. It absorbed a terrifyingly high-temperature energy from the dead body of the Lava Demon, and the aura became even more terrifying and unstable.

 But Escanor still shows no signs of losing control.

 Morgan breathed a sigh of relief, and then answered Escanor's question: "Eglas is a pretty powerful demon god, but it is not comparable to those high-ranking demon gods."

 “Then hurry up and hunt down the high-ranking demon god!”

Escano said impatiently: "I clean up this kind of garbage every day, and my body is almost getting rusty."

 “If it’s boring, then why are you trying to steal my prey?”

“That guy is too arrogant and I can’t bear it anymore.”

 Gu Qing was speechless.

 Are you qualified to speak to others?

 Half a year has passed since the Fallen Sword was recovered.

In the past six months, Gu Qing has led Escanor, Morgan, and Hawke to hunt demon gods all over the world. What just happened has become a daily routine in the past six months.

 The difference is that this time the opponent is an old acquaintance.

 Gu Qing had fought against him when he first came here, so he wanted to fight again this time to see how far he could go.

 In the past six months, he has not been idle.

 Practice Qi and ask Morgan for advice on how to use magic and hellfire.

 Now, his strength level has reached A-level six stars.

Of course, this has something to do with system help.

However, Escanor readily agreed to hand over this enemy to him beforehand, but before the enemy could finish speaking, he went up and killed him instantly with an axe.

This left Gu Qing speechless and couldn't help but sigh: Maybe the summoner's destiny is to enjoy the fruits of victory comfortably in the rear!

　　…Maybe, you can give it a try.”

Morgan looked at Escanor's body that looked like it was made of steel and replied thoughtfully.

 She has been paying attention to Escanor.

 Worried that he would lose control like Lancelot and eventually degenerate into a demon.

 But none of this happened.

 Let alone it happened, there was no sign of losing control. It was as if Hawk's ability, as Gu Qing once said, had manifested itself in Escanor and contained all the power.

Escanor's spirit was not affected, but his body changed. His genes contained thousands of demonic life structures, making him immortal, with super-speed regeneration, super strength, super speed, super recovery, and super endurance.

Super defense...and other extraordinary things all rolled into one.

Even without the grace of the sun, the divine axe Rita, and the sword of corruption, Escanor today has reached the S-level level just by relying on physical strength.

With the addition of the Sun's Grace and the power of the Fallen Sword, he has surpassed the S level and has reached the SS level four stars. He can unleash a blow that can destroy the continent.

 If it reaches the last minute of noon, then...

 This is already the power of Heavenly Father.

Although it belongs to the relatively weak level of Heavenly Father, it is still Heavenly Father and is not the same level as the level below.

 This level is enough to hunt stronger demon gods.

 “Let’s clean up the weak ones first!”

Gu Qing objected: "Whether they are strong or weak, the demon gods on this planet are our hunting targets. Even if we give priority to hunting the strong, we will eventually turn back to hunt the weak. This is meaningless.

 It is better to start with the weak, and then accumulate strength little by little, and be fully prepared to deal with the strong.”

 “But that would be too unchallenging.”

 Escanor complained.

 “Don’t be so arrogant, Escanor!”

Gu Qing stared at him coldly and said: "This is just a relatively safe method, but it does not mean that it can be completed smoothly. If the demon gods were solved so easily, it would not be a problem for so many heavenly fathers."

 In fact, Gu Qing was worried about another problem: the sun's favor began to repel Escanor.

The sun is a favor given by the supreme god of the goddess clan.

 The goddess race was created by the Mother of Chaos to represent light. The essence of power is light, which repels darkness.

Maier, the original owner of the sun, fell into darkness due to the forbidden spell of Gowther, the Ten Commandments of the Demon God clan, which caused the sun to leave him.

 Now, affected by the Fallen Sword.

Escanor's body changed and became complex. Although it was not pure darkness like the Demon Clan, it contained darkness.

The sun has faintly rejected him.

If the Corrupted Sword continues to become stronger and Escanor's influence becomes deeper, the sun will leave him sooner or later.

Gu Qing was worried that when fighting the powerful demon, the sun would suddenly abandon Escanor, which would cause Escanor's power to plummet and lead to defeat.

 Therefore, Escanor must be able to hunt those powerful demons when he is at the level of a heavenly father without relying on the sun.

“What you said makes sense, but some preparations can be made in advance.”

Morgan nodded in agreement, and then offered his opinion, "High-ranking demon gods are not so easy to die. Take Zatanos as an example. He was born from a stone and is a dead thing. Even if he is killed, he will become a dead creature."

Return the stone, and after a period of time you will regain your intelligence and be resurrected."

 “This is indeed a problem.”

Gu Qing frowned and nodded.

“If it is the real Heavenly Father, it would be easy to seal his spiritual consciousness and prevent his resurrection.”

Heavenly Father cannot be called Heavenly Father only when his power reaches a certain level, but only those gods who are good at all aspects and have reached a certain level can be called Heavenly Father.

 So it is actually not standard to use Heavenly Father to measure a person's strength. After all, there are gods who are not good at fighting but good at creation.

 Hence, Gu Qing only called Heavenly Father-level combat power, not Heavenly Father.
