The King of Stones, who looked like the King of Spades, weighed an unknown number of tons, slowly floated into the air, and finally touched the ground with a crash, landing in front of the city gate, blocking Artoria's way.

The entire Boulder Mountain... no, the entire land of the Kingdom of Human Heads trembled as it fell, and it kept shaking, as if the final boss in the game appeared, causing the entire screen to shake.

, looks full of momentum.

With a "buzz" sound, the Stoneman King exhaled gently, forming a powerful storm, which directly blew up Artoria under his feet. Under the Stoneman King's breath, he could not even stand still.

There is such a big difference in strength, how can we fight? It is not easy to get around.

Seeing this scene, I was worried and even less optimistic about Artoria's so-called plan. It was not easy to bypass the Stoneman King and enter the Stoneman King's city. Even I might not be able to do it.

However, at this moment, Arturia took action. She was blown up by the Stoneman King's breath. In mid-air, beyond everyone's expectation, including the Stoneman King Zainei, her victory weapon

The sword suddenly bloomed with intense brilliance.

This is...the Sword of Promised Victory? When exactly was it?

I was shocked. The Sword of Vow to Victory is a charging skill. It cannot be prepared in the blink of an eye. In other words, Artoria has actually been prepared for a long time and has been secretly charging the second vow.

The Sword of Victory, hiding its light, was waiting for the appearance of the Stoneman King, and even being blown away this time was part of her plan.

It was indeed an unexpected plan. Even the Stone Man King was deceived and stunned. The flaw was exposed. But what is the use of this? The power of the Sword of Victory is very strong, but in front of the Stone Man King,

It's probably the same as tickling. Even if you get hit, it won't matter. It's absolutely impossible to break through the Stoneman King's blockage with this.

After a moment of surprise, I looked disappointed again and kept shaking my head. Fortunately, the Little King still had some conscience. He made a series of settings for the Stoneman King and did not attack Artoria as soon as he appeared.

In other words, the Stoneman King's attacks are not strong, and he will only react when Artoria takes the initiative.

Otherwise, even if Artoria had ten lives, she would have already lost her life in the test.

At this moment, Artoria showed her fighting wisdom. Facing the Stoneman King, holding the sword of victory that condensed powerful power, she suddenly made another move that surprised everyone.

Without warning, she suddenly turned around and turned her back to the Stone Man King. It looked like she was going to die. Who would suddenly give their back to the enemy in a battle? Isn't this looking for death?

Uh, wrong, actually there are still some, such as... Hell Fighting Bear.

There is no other way, turning around and kicking are necessary. I have tricked many people with this trick, including even the most cunning old drunkard.

Could it be that Artoria has also learned the turning kick? But even if that is the case, she is facing the Stoneman King. Will the turning kick be useful to him?

As soon as this question came to my mind, I saw Arturia suddenly leaning back, kicking back with all her strength, and sprinting at full speed. At the same time, she swung the sword of victory fiercely, carrying the terrifying power of the oath of victory.

The energy cannon beam formed by the sword made a roaring sound and was as easy to blast out as a cannonball.

With the counter-impact force of the Sword of Promise of Victory, Artoria's already astonishing speed accelerated by several percent again, and she actually merged with the light and rushed past the Stoneman King at an incredible speed.

Rush... rush over!!!

I opened my mouth wide and was speechless in surprise. So that's it. It turned out to be like this. With the help of the reaction force of the Sword of Victory, I accelerated and reached the target at an incredible speed. This was Artoria's plan. It was simple.

But very practical.

In fact, she did it now. When the Stone Man King was stunned, she had already rushed past the Stone Man King with a speed that exceeded her own.

I was about to shout and applaud, but unexpectedly, Colgate hurriedly pulled me hard. Then, before I could react, there was a roar in my ears, and the energy beam of the Sword of Victory passed me by at a thrilling distance.

Pass.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" the maid asked worriedly.

I shook my head in shock. I was calm on the surface, but I almost pissed myself with fear on the inside. It wasn't like this. Although I knew that my king was in a hurry and couldn't care about so much, he just happened to rush towards me. This was too accurate.

Well, could it be that my king noticed the "all-A attributes" many times in the past, and retribution has come?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shrink my neck with guilt.

No, now is not the time to care about this. Seeing my king successfully rushing past the Stone Man King and throwing it behind him, I clenched my fist and I couldn't help but feel hope in my heart.

It works, maybe it really works!

Following Artoria's rapid figure with our eyes, Carolie and I kept flying high, looking beyond the walls of the Stone Man King's City. Finally, inside the huge Stone Man King's City, we saw what Artoria suspected of being said.

place.

In the center of the royal city, on a tall platform similar to an altar, there is a huge bright yellow magic circle flashing. Normally, this is not surprising. How can a royal city not have any special buildings?

But this is a test, a simulated scene. If you think about it this way, then this platform and the huge magic circle that is conspicuous on the platform are just like the words "This is the end of victory" are engraved on it. No wonder Artoria

I would be so obsessed with it, thinking that as long as I got there, I would have passed the level. If it were me, I would think the same way.

So, can Artoria really do it? The Stoneman King is at the pinnacle of the world, and it shouldn't be that easy for her to break through.

I was in a state of confusion. My eyes were fixed on Artoria and the Stoneman King's every move.

At this moment, the Stoneman King finally reacted. The resentful Chinese character on the playing card wrinkled his face, revealed an angry expression, and let out a huge roar, as if he felt that he was being played by a little ant.

With a speed and agility that is unimaginable for a stone man, it turned around suddenly and immediately fixed its gaze on my king, who was desperately sprinting towards the platform magic circle in the center of the royal city.

In an instant, the Stoneman King's world barrier opened, and the entire Stoneman King's city was shrouded in the power of its barrier. All non-stone objects within the range covered by the barrier were instantly petrified, without exception.

It's actually a barrier that can turn opponents into stone. Isn't this guy too perverted?

The barrier unfolded in an instant. No matter how fast Arturia was, she could not move faster than the barrier. In the blink of an eye, she was enveloped in it. She was about to be petrified.

However, Caroline and I were not surprised but overjoyed.

Because one of the abilities of King Arthur's suit is the ability to ignore anyone's world barrier.

Whether it is the pressure of the world barrier of the Stoneman King or the ability to petrify, they all pale in comparison to the King Arthur suit, unless its strength can return to the realm of world-devouring power.

The Stoneman King's approach is not wrong, it fully shows its rich combat experience, because no matter how fast its movements are, it cannot move faster than the world barrier. It first uses the fastest world barrier to surround the enemy and let her

Being unable to move, even petrified, and then playing cat and mouse, no one would choose to do this.

The only mistake it made was that it didn't know the enemy too well. Artoria happened to have the ability to be immune to the world's enchantment, so the move it thought was the safest move turned into a bad move, and instead won Artoria the most victory.

precious time.

The world barrier unfolded, and Artoria's figure only paused for a moment, and then continued to rush forward without losing speed. Not to mention being petrified, even her speed was not affected in any way.

This result, which was neither scientific nor magical, made the Stoneman King dumbfounded for a while. However, it was still the king of the clan. It only took a moment to react and let out an even more angry roar. The scepter in its hand hit the altar platform fiercely.

It was smashed down, and it seemed that it was going to smash Arturia and the altar together.

However, it was too late to react now. When the scepter was raised high and before it fell, Artoria had already braked and landed firmly on the platform, in the center of the magic circle.

Then, she raised her head, looked at the raised scepter, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I did it and passed the test.

Carolie and I also clenched our fists in excitement and almost cheered.

She did it. Artoria actually did it. She broke through from the Stoneman King, who was at the top of the world. Although there was a slight element of luck, luck was also part of her strength. In any case, she did what she could not have done in the first place.

What happened is a miracle.

With a "boom", as Carole and I raised our hands in cheers, the Stoneman King's scepter suddenly fell, smashing the entire platform into pieces. Including Artoria, who had relaxed, the original position of the platform changed.

It became a big pit.

Artoria!!!

I was stunned and roared loudly in disbelief. Seeing that the Stoneman King was not satisfied enough, I raised the scepter high again and slammed it down, planning to strike again.

At the critical moment, the trajectory of the scepter suddenly stopped, and it hit the ground, but it just didn't fall.

Under the scepter, I gritted my teeth and used my hands and back to support the scepter, which was as huge as a hill. My feet were trembling and sinking, and my hands and back were bleeding.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Carolie also got in later and found Arturia covered in blood and in a severe coma in the gravel pit. She was shaking and crying.

Caroline, take Artoria out of here quickly!

Gritting tightly, I could only use a sharp look to convey this meaning to the already confused Caroline.

She finally didn't completely lose her mind. After realizing what I meant, she quickly jumped out of the pit with Artoria in her arms.

Immediately afterwards, the Stoneman King's scepter hit the ground hard, like swatting a fly.

Amid the dust, it slowly raised its scepter, wanting to see what had happened to the little cockroach that had just entered without knowing what it was capable of.

A particularly cold, blood-red gust of wind blew past, blowing away the dust. It revealed a deep cracked pit underneath, several kilometers in diameter and hundreds of meters deep. With just two blows, the Stoneman King was in his royal city.

A big hole was drilled in the center.

In the center of the crater where the cracks are most concentrated, a trace of blood-stained brown fur is faintly exposed among the rocks, which is shaking constantly.

You guy... you guy... actually took Artoria...

In the wind, an uneasy atmosphere was brewing, and even the Stone Man King seemed to feel something. He stopped attacking. He showed a vigilant look and kept looking around, as if he wanted to find the source of the uneasiness.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Majesty, she is... almost... almost... If you don't hurry up... I... Your Highness... Your Highness!!!" Carole, who had just carried Altria out, saw another master.

She was thrown into a deep pit. Her life and death were unknown. Her brain buzzed as if it had exploded. She was blinded at that time.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. With both hands, he hugged her and Artoria together. The next moment, the three of them disappeared together.

The Stone Man King just reacted and roared angrily. He looked at the three people's retreating figures and felt helpless.
