Felt wanted to retort at the pink-haired dragon girl's disdain, but when she thought of the power the other party had just displayed, she could only show a frustrated expression on the delicate face of the blonde, red-eyed girl.
At the same time, upon seeing the moonlight, Puck yawned instantly, swung around in mid-air beside Bai Zhe, and pleaded with the Demon King in a sleepy tone:
"Due to the contract issue, my time is almost up. I'm entrusting Liya's safety to you from now on, my lord."
Bai Zhe understood Parker's reasoning and nodded.
After all, Parker... he's a veteran of the Civil War!
When he watched this anime, it was a heavyweight on Subaru TV, and it was the one that caused the original protagonist Natsuki Subaru's several deaths.
However, thinking about this, Bai Zhe wondered why the other party hadn't appeared.
Given the other party's arrogant personality in the early stages, they will definitely stay by Emilia's side and won't leave no matter how hard you try!
According to the Demon King's speculation, it was probably because his arrival completely changed the world, preventing the reincarnation of the sages of the past, and thus preventing the birth of Subaru Natsuki.
However, even if the other party appears in front of him, the Demon King will only give the other party two choices: either stop bothering Emilia and be a rich person in this world, or go back to the original world!
This can be considered a reward for the joy the other party had brought him.
If the other party insists on going their own way, Bai Zhe will not show mercy just because of this affection!
Upon hearing Puck's message, a look of impatience appeared on Ike's face. She questioned the silver-haired half-elf girl, whose waist was being held by the Demon King, "How long are you going to stay in my husband's arms?"
As for Felt, who was being dragged by the back of her collar by the Demon King, she was completely ignored by Eiko.
Because the blonde, red-eyed girl possessed no power that could threaten her.
However, during their brief time together on the way to the slums, Eiko sensed that Emilia possessed an unusually large amount of magical power, but it was blocked by something.
As a result, the silver-haired half-elf girl was completely unable to unleash the magic that could have posed a threat to her!
In addition, Bai Zhe's interest in the half-elf girl made Ai Ke regard Emilia as a rival who could be considered an equal.
Upon hearing Eiko's words, Emilia finally realized what was happening.
A tempting blush appeared on her delicate face. She apologized and quickly placed her hand on Bai Zhe's chest, pushing herself away from the Demon King's embrace.
At the same time, seeing this, Felt also began to struggle, causing the Royal Selection Badge to fall to the ground!
"Let me go! Let me go now!"
"Don't struggle, you're acting like a sullen little kitten."
However, Bai Zhe's words made Felt struggle even more, so the Demon King simply released his grip on her collar, causing the girl to fall to the ground with a thud.
Although she was protected by the wind, the girl's body was still within the realm of ordinary people, so the drum would naturally feel pain after being hit like that.
As Emilia saw the Royal Selection Badge lying on the ground and was about to bend down to pick it up, Felt, clutching her small drum, stood up from the ground, gritting her teeth.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"Are you even a man? How could you treat a beautiful young girl like this?"
The girl's complaint naturally made Bai Zhe laugh and say, "You actually call yourself a beautiful girl, is it because you are self-aware of your appearance?"
Bai Zhe's words startled Felt for a moment before she realized that the man in front of her was indeed praising her looks.
At first, Felt was indeed swayed by Bai Zhe's appearance and demeanor, and took a serious action.
But then the blonde girl with red eyes remembered what he had just done to her, and immediately turned her head to the side, no longer looking at him.
Seeing the girl so easily amused, Bai Zhe shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the ruins more than a thousand meters away from the mark he had left with his foot.
Those burning golden eyes saw the magic still pulsating beneath the ruins, and a smile appeared on the Demon King's face.
"Looks like he's still alive. No wonder he's a vampire, his vitality is so strong. From a toy's point of view, he's barely acceptable."
However, at that moment, an upright voice suddenly rang out.
"That's enough! You thugs!!"
"Although this is a slum, it is still the territory of the kingdom, and you are not allowed to trample on it at will!!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon King exclaimed, "Just like in all TV shows, movies, and anime, the police department always comes out to clear things up at the very end."
As the Demon King finished speaking, a knight with red hair appeared before everyone.
The knight's gaze was fixed on the Demon King from the very beginning, gripping the longsword at his waist tightly, looking both eager and wary of a formidable enemy.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Emilia immediately revealed their identity.
"...Reinhard!!"
Upon hearing Emilia's voice, the red-haired knight finally noticed the silver-haired half-elf girl and immediately gave her a knightly salute.
"So it was Lady Emilia in person. Forgive my rudeness."
"I don't know these gentlemen?"
“They are all my friends.”
Upon hearing this, Reinhard still asked Bai Zhe and Eiko, "Since you two are friends of Lady Emilia, please tell me your purpose in coming to Lugnica at this time; and why do you want to destroy this place?"
After speaking, the red-haired knight added, "Starting this afternoon, I sensed two beings with immense magical power arriving in the royal city. I suppose they are you two gentlemen, Gu."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe replied with a smile that seemed to ignore the question: "A keen sense of perception, no wonder you are the darling of this world."
Then, the Demon King answered Reinhard's question.
"I'm here to find my wife, but before I see her, it's a good idea to have some fun with you."
As the Demon King finished speaking, the Dragon Sword Red at Reinhard's waist began to hum, as if it were about to be drawn.
This immediately made Ai Ke glare angrily.
Seeing this, the Demon King patted the Dragon Girl's head and then said, "Eiko, forge a weapon for me."
After calming down Eiko, who was furious because of Reinhard's questioning, Bai Zhe turned to face her again.
While unleashing his fighting spirit, he said with a smile, "Come, let me see just how strong you, the darling of this world, have become."
Chapter 88 Eiko's Holy Sword! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
"Originally an indestructible steel sword, a holy sword befitting the knight among knights!"
"Show yourself—Excalibur!!!"
As Aiko chanted, a longsword with a lake-blue hilt, a golden guard, and a platinum-white body emerged from the pink magic circle and landed in Bai Zhe's hand.
That is the legendary King's Sword, a holy sword forged by Eiko and Nabi together in the Star-Carved Dragon Knight world, specifically for Bai Zhe's use.
Furthermore, based on the ring that Bai Zhe brought from the previous world, this holy sword was endowed with the ability to absorb magic power and transform it into a torrent of energy to release!
The light of the holy sword was like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating half of the slum's night sky the moment Bai Zhe raised it.
Those in the royal city who noticed this scene mistakenly thought that an extraordinary treasure had appeared here, but because the magic that rose from the night sky and dispersed the clouds prevented anyone from rushing over.
“Using the holy sword Excalibur against you would not be an insult to your reputation.”
"Now let me see the swordsmanship of this world's darling, number 157?"
"Although I have no intention of being your enemy, since this is your invitation, I will certainly not refuse. Please forgive my rudeness!"
The moment Bai Zhe charged forward with a sword gleaming coldly in one hand, Reinhard drew Red, a dragon sword that emitted a sword cry, from his waist.
The young red-haired knight gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, holding the gleaming blade horizontally in front of him.
The next second, the Holy Sword and the Dragon Sword collided, and the clash of forces instantly transformed into a storm that continuously blew away everything around them.
Seeing this, Eiko and Emilia, who possessed magic, quickly set up a defense, while Felt, who did not possess magic, was blown away by herself. Fortunately, Cromwell, being a giant, managed to catch the girl and prevent her from being blown to another house by the aftershock of the Demon King's attack!
However, before the aftershocks of this incident could subside, the sword battle between Bai Zhe and Reinhard had already intensified.
On the moonlit open ground, countless flames ignited and then went out, like flickering flames.
This is the Demon King's original sword technique, the Firelight Sword Technique.
Reinhard, who was seeing this sword technique for the first time, was naturally constantly suppressed, but soon, with the protection of the world, he began to gradually adapt to the Demon King's initial sword technique.
The countless alternations of flames and cold light were dazzling, and even Eko and Emilia gradually couldn't keep up with the speed at which the two wielded their swords.
As for Cromwell and Felt, all they could see from the beginning were flashes of fire and sword light.
The aftershocks of their battle transformed into a massive shockwave that, in just half a minute, blew away all the buildings within a three-mile radius and stirred up all the soil on the ground!
Fortunately, seeing the increasingly large shockwaves, Eiko stepped in and created a barrier, protecting Emilia along with the other two, thus preventing any of the three from being affected by the aftershocks of Bai Zhe's battle.
The area of destruction is even continuing to expand as the two sides continue to fight!
Inside the barrier, Felt's little face was filled with shock as she looked at the soil that was constantly being thrown up by the aftershocks of the slash, and at the scene around her that had been completely turned into ruins.
"Wow, that's amazing! He can actually fight on par with that legendary sword saint!"
"Moreover, is this level of destruction even possible for a human being?!"
As a little girl who grew up in a slum, the greatest destruction she had ever witnessed was a fire caused by a family accidentally knocking over an oil lamp a few years ago.
However, what appeared before her at this moment was merely a clash of swordsmanship, yet it could already be described as a natural disaster.
Being inside the barrier, Felt's words were naturally heard by Eko.
However, the pink-haired dragon girl, upon hearing this, scoffed at the first half of the blonde, red-eyed girl's statement. (bfci)
"Hmph! Stupid, ignorant, and foolish humans, they really have no knowledge."
Felt naturally chose to retaliate against Eiko's taunts.
What do you mean by that?!
Having grown up in a slum, she developed a strong sense of justice due to the harsh living conditions there.
Even if the other party is protecting her now, the girl will still question the other party when they disagree.
Even Emilia, after hearing their conversation, blinked her bright eyes, which had become somewhat dry from the dazzling sword light, and turned her gaze to Eiko.
"Of course, it's because Bai Zhe is just playing around with this Sword Saint right now, and hasn't shown his true strength at all."
"What you humans call natural disasters are nothing more than disturbances he can create at will!"
"Now you understand, right?"
As she spoke, Eiko glanced at Felt with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Ferut naturally shrank back in fear.
"Do such terrifying people really exist in this world?"
At this moment, Cromwell, who had been listening quietly, said with a heavy heart to the blonde, red-eyed girl he regarded as his granddaughter: "Yes, there are legendary witches, each one of them is a being who manipulates people's hearts and destroys humanity and the world!"
"I wonder if this person is related to those legendary witches."
As Cromwell finished speaking, Felt swallowed hard, realizing for the first time how dangerous the world she lived in truly was.
Just then, as the storm that blotted out the sky, created by countless slashes, was torn apart, a red figure flew out from it, leaving a trail of hundreds of meters on the ground, and rolled several times before barely stabilizing itself.
At this moment, Reinhard no longer had the glamorous appearance he had when he first appeared before everyone. He was covered in dust and had many bright red wounds on his body.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, gasped for breath, and used the Dragon Sword to support himself as he stood up again.
At the same time, Bai Zhe, who had swung his holy sword horizontally to completely erase the storm that had enveloped the area for nearly a thousand meters, also appeared in front of the four.
However, compared to the extremely disheveled Reinhard, the Demon King was not only completely unharmed, but also not even panting heavily. He was calm and collected, like an elder looking at a child.
"You're still able to stand up after taking so many of my swords. Your vitality is truly remarkable. You deserve to be the darling of the world."
From the very beginning, the Demon King was not so much fighting against a person named Reinhard, but rather against this world!
Because it was this world that bestowed upon Reinhard so many blessings, granting him immunity to the influence of witch powers and even the strength to fight the most powerful Witch of Envy to the ends of the earth!

Inside the barrier, Eiko saw Reinhard in a terrible state, while Bai Zhe remained calm and composed.
He placed his hands directly in front of his mouth, making a megaphone shape, and loudly cheered for the Demon King.
"Go for it, Bai Zhe! Crush him completely!!"
The pink-haired dragon girl's request stirred a sense of sympathy for the Sword Saint in Emilia and the other two.
