[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

Consciousness is like a piece of feather floating in the air, which is thrown high in an instant, and suddenly falls heavily in the next second.

Back and forth, the world was spinning, and then——

woke up.

"Well……"

Fujimaru Tachika opened her eyes suddenly, and let out a ignorant and small moan, as if she hadn't reacted from the memory that she didn't know whether it was a dream or a fantasy.

It wasn't until her vision gradually became clear that she looked at the doomed ruins in front of her, and then belatedly raised her hand, propping her drowsy forehead and whispering: "What, it's not a dream..."

——She is indeed, experienced an inexplicable disaster, almost dying...

die?

……and many more!

Finally noticing something was wrong, Fujimaru Tatsuka kicked her legs and shook her arms in a daze.Then, she found that her body, which was supposed to be numb from the pain, was actually - completely fine? !

"Since you've recovered, don't lie on the ground anymore." A familiar yet indifferent voice suddenly came from beside my ear.

Fujimaru Tatsuka followed the reputation, and as expected, she saw a silver-haired young man standing not far from her, looking down at her calmly with a pair of purple eyes.

"Ehhh!"

Fujimaru Tachika hurriedly got up from the ground, her quick movements and limbs without any discomfort made her reassure that she was really well.

"Did you save me? Thank you very much, that..." When she was eager to express her gratitude to the young man, Fujimaru Tachika realized that she didn't seem to know the other party's name, and she scratched her head in embarrassment and giggled.

"If it's just a title, just call me Mayne."

Strictly speaking, he had several real names because he always changed his vest, and it would be a bit troublesome to introduce them one by one, so he simply used "Mayne" as a general name, which would not be too awkward.

"Okay, Maine, my name is Fujimaru Tachika!"

The joy of surviving after the catastrophe made the girl much more energetic than when she was in the Hall of Valor. However, when she regained her senses from the initial excitement and faced the devastated land again, the long-standing confusion finally fully surfaced. : "What the hell is going on here?"

What she saw before she was about to die was the inconceivably huge scarlet sword—an existence completely incompatible with this technological age, really...

"The Sword of Damocles."

Mayne raised his hand to catch the remaining red spot of light in the air, with a cold expression: "The product left over from the Age of Gods, human beings want to use its power, but there is no corresponding means of restraint - it will cause such a result , as expected.”

Although Mayne has stayed in the Hall of Valor as a heroic spirit for a long time, he is not ignorant of the development of the outside world.

For example, as early as many years ago, he observed that someone had dug out the Dresden stone slab, which contained the power of the age of gods, from the ground.

Afterwards, of course, people were fascinated by the miraculous power of the slate and researched accordingly.

The effect is not insignificant - the person selected by the slate will be given a "power".Among them, the strongest seven, as the symbol of the supernatural king (king), they will get their own sword of Damocles, so as to become more powerful.

However, once the body load of the king reaches a certain level and cannot bear any more, the huge sword blade suspended above the king's head will fall overnight, turning everything into nothingness.

And Fujimaru Tachika was obviously out of luck, and happened to bump into the scene of this generation of Red King's Fallen Sword, and was implicated innocently.

"When the sword of Damocles falls, it will definitely cause indiscriminate area-of-effect damage. However, you are only severely wounded at such a short distance, and there is no instant death. If all this is not a coincidence, then next——"

Mayne glanced at the girl indifferently, and said unhurriedly: "Congratulations, you should have been selected by the slate."

The Dresden Slate probably likes this kind of dramatic effect very much—when a huge disaster strikes, when almost everyone has died, the only survivors who still have a breath of life become the ones who were killed. A child favored by fate.The Tablet will empower them and make them the new kings.

If he remembered correctly, the Silver King and Gold King seemed to have been chosen by the stone board to become kings when the group was about to be wiped out.

And now Fujimaru Tachika - the situation is so similar.

Probably, he will soon be caught by the slate.

"To be chosen by the slate means..."

Fujimaru Tachika tried hard to understand the young man's words, and then his eyes widened: "Wait, don't you mean that!"

Mayne did not answer Fujimaru Tachika, but slowly raised his head and looked at the sky: "Here we are."

coming?What's coming? !

Before Fujimaru Tachika had time to ask, she suddenly felt a burning pain that quickly spread all over her body.

At that moment, it was like falling into a crater of boiling lava.Not only the flesh and blood, but even the soul will be burned to death.

Almost trying not to let herself cry out in pain, Fujimaru Tachika gritted her teeth and raised her head, looking at the top of her head with difficulty——

And there, there is a huge scarlet sword, which is condensing and forming among the floating clouds little by little.

The magnificent and majestic red flame, like a pouring tide, roared and burned around the unformed blade, dazzling almost dazzling.

— There is no doubt that this is a ritual.

——It belongs to the new generation of the Red King, the coronation ceremony.

Mayne watched silently, until a moment later, he found that the condensing speed of the Scarlet King Sword was terribly slow, and there was even a faint tendency to stagnate.

As a result, a sliver of surprise appeared in those usually calm purple eyes.

"You're denying it."

Mayne looked sideways at the girl, and the golden pendant moved accordingly: "Why, isn't it good to be king?"

"It's not...a question of whether it's good or not."

Fujimaru Tachika responded with difficulty: "After seeing this power and the disasters it brings, how can I--how can I be a king with peace of mind!"

——Obviously possessed the aptitude to become a king, but chose to refuse without hesitation.

This young girl is completely opposite to the friends in Mayne's memory who took the throne as a matter of course.

He began to be a little curious - about the girl's future fate.

Almost at the moment when this idea came into being, Mayne put away his original casual look, turned to stare at the girl seriously and said, "Let me confirm for the last time, are you really, not going to accept the Scarlet King Sword?"

Fujimaru Tachika didn't speak, but nodded unequivocally—to be honest, she knew her own weight.The Scarlet King or something, although it seems very powerful, but if it is her, I am afraid that she will fall into the sword as soon as she becomes a king, it is useless!

Mayne nodded: "I will help you."

Fujimaru Tachika: ... I am so flattered!

At this time, the girl didn't notice that the moment the silver-haired youth made his promise, three Command Seals suddenly appeared on the back of her right hand.

Until this time, the contract belonging to the master and the servants was finally officially completed!

However, Mayne did not specifically remind the other party.After all, Command Seals are at best a symbol of a contract for him, and cannot really restrain him.

"Next..."

Mayne's gaze turned to the scarlet sword in the sky.

The Sword of Damocles is undeniably powerful, and if you confront it head-on, you will probably have to use a Noble Phantasm.

But his treasure...

It seems to be still in the Heroic Seat, didn't you bring it down?

Mistakes, when he was wearing this vest, he always seemed to lose things easily, and at the beginning, his friend often showed the expression of "Yu Zhen is heartbroken".

"From this point of view, it is really better to borrow his strength."

This is a promise made by a generous friend - to be able to freely control the other party's Noble Phantasm, and even share the right to great achievements.

— "Steam Sphinx."

The moment the heroic spirit's voice fell, there was a violent shock in the space that could not be ignored, and then, accompanied by a mighty roar, a huge creature beyond human imagination appeared in the sky.

It has the shape of a human face and a lion's body, and its slowly spreading wings cover the sky and the sun, and when it comes, it is surrounded by explosive flames and strong winds.Its existence surpasses Warcraft, Eudemons, and is even equal to dragons.

Heroic Spirit stared at the giant beast in the sky, calmly raised his hand, pointed at the red king sword from afar, and said, "Smash it."

"Roar--"

The moment it received the order from the heroic spirit, the giant beast flapped its wings without hesitation, bared its fangs, and showed its sharp claws.

Flames and strong winds rose from the ground, and together with the monsters, they attacked the giant sword suspended in the sky with all the ferocity and rage.

The moment they collided, the sky cracked and the earth trembled.

The invisible storm tore apart, and the red flames swept across, like huge waves engulfing the world, everything in the world fell instantly, leaving only a long silence and paleness.

"..."

"Grrrrrrr-"

There was a very obvious, scalp-numbing crackling sound.

After a few seconds of stalemate on the unformed red sword, cracks appeared little by little until it covered the entire body of the sword.

Then in the next moment, it suddenly shattered into hundreds of billions of stars, scattered in the sky and the earth in fine detail——completely collapsed.

Fujimaru Tachika suddenly collapsed and sat on the ground, panting heavily as if he had just been fished out of the water.

This coronation, which was forcibly intervened by external forces—has ended here.

After standing on the ground for about a quarter of an hour, Fujimaru Tachika finally regained some strength, but just when she was about to stand up, a huge shadow suddenly floated over her head.

Fujimaru Tachika squinted his eyes and looked over, just in time to catch Katayu gradually retracting the giant beast.

Then, accompanied by a loud "boom", as if some heavy object fell to the ground, it caused the whole earthquake to tremble three times, and Fujimaru Tachika's body, which had just climbed halfway up, fell back again.

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Tachika raised her head in bewilderment.

In fact, because she had been resisting the power of the Scarlet King Sword just now, she didn't even bother to pay attention to how the King Sword was eliminated, but now——

"..."

Fujimaru Tachika looked at the giant beast that landed on the ground, and after blinking slowly, he finally couldn't withstand the sudden strong impact, so that he coughed violently: "Cough, cough, cough, cough!!!"

Hearing the sound, the giant beast glanced at her lazily. One of its retracted claws popped out with a "bang", and it casually rubbed on the ground a few times, leaving a scratch three points deep into the ground.

Fujimaru Tachika: ... I'm getting started.

"Sphinx." The silver-haired heroic spirit said suddenly.

The giant beast whose name was called immediately stopped paying attention to the "little bug that wanted to play" on the ground, and turned its huge head to the silver-haired heroic spirit.

Afterwards, the Sphinx lowered his head and leaned on the side of the heroic spirit.All the deadly claws were retracted, only the furry pads remained, one of which was attached to the heroic spirit's side, and the rest were collected under the belly.

After all this was done, the Sphinx tried to make his horrible eyes "watery", and then opened his mouth: "Meow-ow!"

Fujimaru Tachika: ...Although this idea is a bit scary, it is really... acting like a baby?

Compared with Fujimaru Tachika's distorted expression of "Mom Earth is so scary, I want to go back to Mars", Heroic Spirit seems to have completely accepted this, or it has long been used to it.

"You did a good job." Mayne patted the giant beast's body lightly, and praised calmly.

Sphinx narrowed his eyes, and tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart—to be a reserved sphinx, and not to be ashamed in front of the king's best friend!

That being said, but...

"Bang bang bang—"

Fujimaru Tachika stared intently at the back of the giant beast, which was "duang" the tail of the earth at a very high frequency.Almost every time I hit it, the ground trembled three times, and the hole was already smashed out!

Until this time, the novice Master, who had a vague understanding of "heroic spirits", seemed to have finally realized the seriousness of the problem!

——I just gave away a Scarlet King Sword, but now, it seems that I have provoked an even more irresistible boss? !

"May I ask..."

Fujimaru Lixiang raised her hand tremblingly, pointed to a giant beast with a claw bigger than herself and said, "This is, Mayne, did you raise it?"

"Huh? Not really."

Heroic Spirit appeases the behemoth that was restless because of the girl's disturbance, and replied indifferently: "It belongs to a close friend of mine, including the glorious compound temple of Heroic Spirit Seat."

It seems that it was because he was promised by the other party during his lifetime——

"My dear friend, but I would like to share my great achievements, whether it is wealth, power, or territory, with you—even the almighty gods have no right to question this point!"

So after becoming a Heroic Spirit, Mayne can use the other party's treasures and privileges completely without hindrance.

In terms of priority level and proficiency level, it is even above his own Noble Phantasm.

——Looking at it this way, he is really as domineering as ever, that guy.

"I...can I ask, who is your best friend, Mayne?"

Fujimaru Tachika quietly looked at the appearance of the Sphinx, the sphinx... Sure enough, there is something super concerned about!

"Of course, this is not something that needs to be hidden."

Mayne spoke slowly, and the moment he announced the name, the behemoth beside him, who was sitting comfortably, had already stood up first, bowed his head, and made a reverent gesture of listening piously: "He called, Ozymandias."

Fujimaru Tachika thought the name was very familiar, but couldn't remember it all at once—where exactly is she...

Seeming to see the girl's confusion, the silver-haired hero paused for a moment, and then added: "If it is in the present world, the most widely circulated title at present should be—"

"Ramesses II."

Fujimaru Tachika: "...Damn it!!!"
