The heated battle between the two continues and rages while all of the soldiers, players, and the two royalties are watching it like some sort of show while eating popcorn. As for me, I am still thinking about what the heck should I do. The Carnwennan in my hands is indeed an immortal slaying item but it was once in the possession of King Arthur. There is a chance it won't work against him which is why I am not sure what to do.
From the legends, it is known that the only bane that King Arthur have that managed to kill him was only the Clarent but since the original Clarent is nowhere to be found and King Arthur doesn't have that sword in his collection, Almira recreated the Clarent with her own hands just to use it and try to kill King Arthur that her ancestor failed to do.
"ARTHURRR!"
SWISH! CLANG!
Although the current Clarent that Almira is holding right now is not the real Clarent that is equal to Excalibur, you can say that the limitation weapon she is using is also part of the Heroic Tier weapons. Still, compared to the actual Heroic Tier weapons, the sword on Almira's hands is only close to the original and not on par with the original at all. Despite that, it is holding quite well against the Secace and Arondnight that are very strong enough to snap the current Clarent in half and yet it was able to parry multiple times against it.
"To be honest, I thought you would snap in half like your grandfather did when we fought against each other but to think you would last this long is enough that you have already surpassed your grandfather in terms of survivability and you are already capable of dealing with my attacks by parrying them. I see a great promise from you already."
"Your words are not even the least inspiring especially since they are coming from you. (PENG!) I would rather get insulted rather than be mocked like this by someone who killed my ancestor."
Swords clashed, and sparks fly as the flames of Almira's weapon collide with King Arthur's pure power applied to the two swords.

"F*CKING BASTARD. I don't even know how you became the king when your behavior is quite a piece of sh*t."
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
Both metals hit each other and a loud shockwave appeared that the watchers were forced to duck from it. The ice around us was also cleared out just by that sheer force from both swords hitting each other.
"Looks like we are done in here," King Arthur grinned.
"..." Almira is quiet and despite her eyes glaring at King Arthur, she soon lost the light on her eyes before she collapsed.
"Master!"
I rush towards Almira but King Arthur turned around and stabs the Secace down to the ground which causes chains made from blood to appear and bind me. I heard the groan of the others and realized that it was not just me who got bound by these chains but also Queen Tanya and the others who are still eating popcorn.
"I was more tolerant before when I am assuming the identity of Guts, Bladeheart. But, that's enough cover of myself. Now that everyone knows who I really was, there is no need to keep the saintly and kind act anymore. It doesn't suit me in the slightest."
"A facade huh? I already expected that."
"Hmmm?"
"You thought I was already trusting you last time I named you Guts? Hahaha, you are a load of bull. I just waited for you to do something to confirm it, and since the last time we are together, you didn't do anything, then I also didn't do anything. Just because I am already quite buddy-buddy with them doesn't mean I don't have any plans against someone who wanted to kill me in the first place."
"Ha! It doesn't change. You will all die here anyway so why not die instead? You can't move anyways, it's much better for me to relieve you all in that suffering."
I grinned hearing him say that.
"Too bad, I didn't need your help getting out of here."
I immediately activated [Magic Jammer] skill that allowed me to nullify the chains. I already knew the ability of the Secace before since I have seen it in action and since it was a magic sword, anything that comes from it is automatically a magic skill. After all, Secace is one of my targets to get in the past as it is ideal for me as a Magic Knight. Too bad that I failed on getting it, but did King Arthur seriously think that would bind me forever?
"If Almira failed to defeat you, then it's my turn to do it instead."
"You can't kill me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know. But I will try."
The moment the chains disappeared, I pulled the Versatile Weapon out of the sheath. As always, King Arthur looks smug about it.
"Ha, so what? It doesn't change anything. Having the Secace and the Arondnight with me, I can easily kill you."
I didn't say anything and just rush forward to attack. And since I already provoked King Arthur, he is already willing to fight back against me.
PENG!
He blocked my attack using his two swords, just to show off that he has superior weapons compared to me.
"Just look how far the quality of your weapon from my weapons, Bladeheart. Did you think my weapons will be in a worse situation?"
"Of course. Because now, they are mine."
"Huh?"
"[Devour]!"
The moment I shouted the command, the Shadow dragon that has been silent for a while appeared without hesitation, and since the Versatile Weapon is currently holding off the two swords that King Arthur, the Shadow Dragon easily bit off the two swords out of King Arthur's hands and devoured them before burping from being able to devour two of the heroic weapons that King Arthur wielded before.
And from the looks of it, the Shadow Dragon is still hungry.
