Chapter 803 - 803
At this point, Zacharias regained some of his confidence."Although the Lion King Organization has designated Itogami Island as the ritual site for the
He had guessed correctly.
If Eiji were an Elector dispatched by the Lion King Organization, with his strength, there would be no need to hide his face—he could simply step forward openly.
In terms of ability, he seemed at least comparable to the elders and nobles of the Old Generation, and not inferior to Vatler of the War Duchy or the Ninth Prince of the Lost Warlord Empire. Participating openly would, in fact, grant him a more advantageous position.
Since he hadn't done so and instead joined as a potential target for elimination, it was highly likely he wasn't affiliated with the Lion King Organization.
"How about we join forces?"
Zacharias subconsciously stroked the mustache at the corner of his mouth, smiling with apparent sincerity.
"You possess formidable strength, while I hold territory. Wouldn't it be splendid if we worked together to revive the Fourth True Ancestor?"
His words weren't without reason.
A single Progenitor body possessed power at most equivalent to that of the Old Generation. Not only could Eiji easily defeat it, but even Vatler could do the same. Zacharias indeed lacked a trump card powerful enough to secure an instant victory.
Meanwhile, if Eiji gained territory, he could become an official Elector, securing a favorable official stance.
"Your proposal is quite tempting."
"Then?"
Zacharias's smile widened.
"But I refuse!"
The tone abruptly shifted.
Zacharias's smile instantly froze.
"...If I may ask, why?"
"If I kill you, won't all your belongings become mine?"
"Must you be so ruthless?"
"What are you saying? There's no knight more compassionate than I!"
Amid the banter, killing intent spread forth.
Zacharias's eyes bulged.
He immediately placed his hand on the golden-haired girl beside him.
"Come forth—Second Familiar, Cor Tauri Succinum (Amber Bull King)!"
Vast magical energy erupted from the golden-haired girl.
Crimson mana surged from her body, coalescing behind her into the form of a massive Minotaur.
"Boom!"
The steel plates above were instantly pierced, metal groaning under the strain.
The enormous Minotaur, glowing in vivid red, stood ten meters tall, effortlessly breaking through multiple layers of steel plates. It wielded a giant axe larger than itself, its entire body ablaze with flames, shimmering with a mirage-like radiance.
Simultaneously, scarlet magma seeped from its feet, thick as congealed honey, rapidly melting through the steel beneath.
Familiars were, in essence, massive aggregates of magical energy with consciousness.
Although any creature could theoretically raise a familiar, the immense cost in life force meant only vampires, with their infinite lifespans, could freely maintain them.
"Attack!"
Zacharias roared harshly.
The colossal Bull King raised its giant axe, unleashing endless magma from its feet.
Second Familiar, Amber Bull King.
Its body was entirely composed of molten rock, and its attacks were purely physical. Its scorching battleaxe could penetrate any non-physical barrier, making it the most lethal among the Fourth True Ancestor's familiars!
If this axe struck, the entire cruise ship would sink.
A mad glint shone in Zacharias's eyes.
It was precisely because this vessel was powerful enough that he had transported it here.
If he could kill this armored figure, what did one or two cruise ships matter?
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye.
A brilliant golden sword light roared forth.
It swept past the heads of two Hunnic demons, grazed the body of the Minotaur King, and shot straight into the sky, cleaving through countless layers of steel.
Zacharias stared blankly as the Minotaur King gradually dissipated.
Such a swift sword!
It gave no chance to react—a single move had instantly obliterated his trump card!
"All flashy tricks—what's the use?"
The armored figure clicked his tongue twice, sounding almost mocking.
"My sword is a demon-slaying blade that can cut through anything, specifically designed to counter your kind of gaudy nonsense."
Even if the Fourth True Ancestor were resurrected, he was confident he could battle them with just this sword, let alone a mere vessel.
Eiji stepped forward and pulled over Number Two, who was bleeding from the mouth after her familiar was severed.
Zacharias instinctively moved to block him, but fear from the depths of his heart made him withdraw his hand.
"By the way, let me ask you something."
The armored figure suddenly turned around, startling Zacharias.
"What do you think of this armor?"
He generously displayed the armor, even spinning around once.
"...Very handsome!"
Zacharias pondered briefly, then raised a sincere smile on his face.
Like a barcode—handsome my ass!
"Hmm... You're lying!"
The armored figure hummed thoughtfully, then abruptly shouted.
"Well... actually, the pink is a bit feminine..."
Zacharias's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking his true thoughts had been discovered, he immediately put on a troubled expression and mentioned a flaw he thought would be less likely to anger him.
"Pink, my ass!"
The armored figure flew into a rage and swung his sword.
"Are you blind, saying I'm wearing pink armor? Open your damn eyes and look clearly!"
Zacharias did indeed open his eyes wide.
But only because his neck had been severed—the wide-eyed stare of a corpse.
Why?
He hadn't even mentioned how strange the breastplate and helmet looked, only commented on the color. Why had he been killed for that?
"Damn it, all you brutes have no taste!"
Eiji was furious.
This time, he had designed the iconic suit of the world-renowned destroyer—Kamen Rider Decade's costume. Alongside Kamen Rider Kabuto's transformation, they were hailed as the two kings of style among Heisei-era riders. It was seriously cool, okay?
Though it eventually turned into the "pond guardian," which was utterly infuriating.
"You!"
"Eek!"
Veldiana was startled, trembling like a leaf.
Before she could even process what had happened, Zacharias had been killed, and the vessel had been taken!
And now this seemingly easy-to-kill but brutal man was pointing at her!
"You tell me—is this pink?"
He glared at her aggressively.
His expression must be terrible right now!
If she wasn't careful, she'd end up like Zacharias—carelessly killed by this man!
"N-No... I remember this is... magenta?"
Veldiana racked her brains, frantically brainstorming before cautiously speaking.
"Oh my, you do have some discernment!"
Eiji immediately softened his expression.
With a snap, he severed the chains binding her amid her screams, then wrapped an arm around her waist and soared into the sky.
Finally, with a backward swing of his sword, he cleaved the already leaking cruise ship, causing it to explode.
Only then did Veldiana let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed she had survived—thanks to the various shades of cosmetics she had purchased back when she was still a wealthy young lady!
