Volume 10: Power and Monsters Chapter 27: Changing the Flag
After Toru Taki woke up, Emiya took Ais, Luo Cuilian, the dragon maid, Cu Chulainn and others and left the place, leaving it to Natsume Takashi and Toru Taki.
After all, both of them had expressions that said, "I have something to tell you."
Of course, Emiya would not be tactless.
After they walked out of the room, Cu Chulainn couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, Master, how was your trip to hell this time? Did you encounter any strong opponents?"
Emiya said calmly, "I met one, but we didn't fight."
"No fight?"
"That's right."
Emiya briefly recounted what happened in Hell, and after listening, Cu Chulainn couldn't help but say, "He's clearly the most cursed demon in Hell, but he didn't do anything and just sent Dokito's soul back. Hey, hey, hey, isn't he too cowardly?"
"Coward? No, no, no, I should say it's rational."
Emiya recalled Hozuki's expression and words and denied Cu Chulainn's opinion, "That guy knew very well that we were determined to get Toru's soul, and he also knew our strength, so in order to prevent Hell from being destroyed in the battle, he took the initiative to hand over Toru's soul to us."
Luo Cuilian agreed with Emiya's opinion. "Yes, that guy Hozuki is quite powerful, but he saw through our purpose and wisely thought that it was not worth it to conflict with us for a soul, so he handed over Duojitou's soul. After all, after hell was destroyed, it was them who worked hard to repair hell, not us."
Cu Chulainn suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
Emiya nodded, "Yes, that's what happened."
If you put yourself in his shoes, if Emiya were replaced by Hozuki, I guess Emiya would do the same thing.
He also didn't want to clash with a group of powerful guys in his own territory for the sake of an insignificant human soul. Especially since you didn't know if there were even more powerful guys behind these people.
Therefore, it is sensible to give the other party face.
Only a desperate fighting maniac would not think so much, such as a certain Irish mad dog.
However, the Irish mad dog had no idea what was going on in Emiya's mind and asked, "So what should we do next?"
"Of course I'm going back to the world of the God Slayer," Emiya said.
Ai Si asked, "Don't you want to say hello to Natsume?"
Emiya took out his phone and said, "Just say hello in the group."
After that, he logged into the chat group and sent a message: "We're going back, Natsume, that's it, bye."
Afterwards, he left Natsume's world with a group of people and returned to the God Slayer world.
Meanwhile, Sardinia.
Lukulazia saw the message in the group and couldn't help but send a message: "Ah, is the boss back?"
After a while, she saw the message from Emiya: "I'm back."
Lukulazia: "That's perfect. The girl with the red copper and black cross is here with me. She said she wants to trouble you with something. I wonder when you can come over, boss."
Emiya: "Then let's do it now."
The next second, Luklazia saw the air in her room being pushed open to form a door. Emiya stepped through the door formed by the air, entered her room, and came in front of her.
"Where's Erica?" Emiya looked around and found that only Luklasia was in the room.
Lukulazia said, "She is resting in the guest room. Do you want to wake her up, boss?"
Emiya didn't comment and asked, "What does she want from me?"
Lukulazia responded, "Probably because of the Sword King incident."
"The Sword King, the fool who can't even remember other people's names? So, the Sword King is causing trouble for her."
Lukulacia smiled helplessly. The King of Swords was a godslayer. There were not many people in this world who dared to think that he was a fool and say it so bluntly.
However, considering Emiya's identity and background, Lukula Chia was not too surprised. "Yes, not long ago, the Sword King did cause trouble for Erica."
"And then?" Emiya asked.
"Then he was defeated by Hercules whom you sent to Erica. If it weren't for the fact that the God Slayer's body was different from that of an ordinary person, he would have probably died."
"Oh, looks like Hercules made some big news."
Lukulacia sighed and said, "It's more than just big news. The entire magic world is probably turned upside down now. After all, this is the first time that the Demon King has been defeated by someone who is neither the God of Disobedience nor the God Slayer."
Emiya asked curiously, "Don't they know that the one who defeated that fool was Hercules?"
Although Hercules was demoted from a Hercules to a heroic spirit, he is also a demigod with divinity.
Just as Lukulazia was about to say something, the door to her room was pushed open.
Erica walked in and said respectfully, "We have not revealed Lord Hercules' identity to anyone without your instructions , Lord Emiya."
Lukulazia said, "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, little girl."
Erica bowed like a lady, "Please forgive my impoliteness, Senior Lukulacia, but I did not mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between you and Lord Emiya. I came here to discuss something with you, but I accidentally overheard your conversation with Lord Emiya, that's all."
Lukulazia didn't comment, but she didn't dwell on this topic any more. Instead, she skipped the topic and said, "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Erica turned her gaze to Emiya, "Something happened earlier, but it's okay now."
Lukulazia smiled knowingly, "So, your target is my boss."
"Yes." Erica nodded readily without hiding anything.
Emiya turned his head to look at the crimson demon and asked, "So, what do you want from me?"
Erica knelt on one knee and said as if she was meeting the king: "Master Emiya, ever since Hercules defeated the Sword King, there has been a great uproar in the magic world. Some magic societies have secretly contacted the Red Copper Black Cross, hoping to join Master Hercules. I wonder what Master Emiya thinks of this matter."
Emiya was a little surprised, "These magic societies should all be under the command of that idiot."
“Partly.”
"Seeing that Hercules is more powerful, they want to abandon the King of Swords and join Hercules. Aren't they afraid that the King of Swords will cause trouble for them?"
"That's why they contacted us secretly."
"Aren't they afraid of revenge from that idiot..." At this point, Emiya suddenly realized, "That idiot can't even remember other people's names, so he probably won't care about these things."
Erica smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Although the Sword King is the leader of our Southern European Magic Society Alliance, he himself doesn't actually care about anything, unless it's related to the God of Disobedience. It is precisely because of this character that everyone wants to join Lord Hercules after seeing the Sword King being defeated."
She paused and continued, "Because everyone feels that it might be better if a strong person who is neither a God Slayer nor a God of Disobedience, but is not inferior to either of them, were to lead them all."
Emiya smiled and asked, "Have you asked Hercules about this?"
Erica smiled bitterly and said, "I asked, but Lord Hercules is not interested in it."
Emiya waved his hand and said, "Since Hercules has already refused, let's end this matter here. Just refuse. If they continue to pester you, you can announce Hercules' name. This way, they will naturally retreat."
Erica was stunned. "Hey, is this okay? If the name of Lord Hercules is really announced, it might attract other demon kings."
"You mean that old wolf." In Emiya's impression, the only person who likes to hunt the disobedient god the most is Marquis Vauban.
Among the six godslayers, Luo Cuilian is a stay-at-home girl. She has rarely been active since she retired to Mount Lushan, and now she has become Emiya 's partner.
The godslayer in America was addicted to the heroic game.
The Black Prince of England is aiming for the Holy Grail.
Lady Aisha herself is neither good at nor fond of fighting.
That fool, the King of Swords, had just been defeated by Hercules.
Therefore, the only God Slayer who would really be attracted here would probably be the oldest and most unscrupulous old wolf.
Erica nodded. "Yes, the greatest pleasure of Marquis Vauban is hunting the God of Disobedience. A few years ago, a large ceremony was held to summon the God of Disobedience. If he knew the name of Lord Hercules, he would definitely come."
"It doesn't matter." Emiya was not worried at all, "Anyway, that old wolf may not be a match for Hercules."
Hercules had his job reversed by Emiya, and he also learned Haki and Nen. His strength is even better than Cu Chulainn. Even if Marquis Vauban appears, he may not be able to defeat Hercules.
But Erica continued, "Ever since the Sword King lost to Lord Hercules, he has regarded Lord Hercules as his rival. If Marquis Vauban takes action, he will definitely challenge Lord Hercules again before Marquis Vauban. In the worst case, Lord Hercules may have to face two godslayers at the same time."
"It doesn't matter." Emiya said the same thing, "If things really develop to this point, I will let Cu Chulainn take action. With his strength, he can definitely hold back a God Slayer."
Erica worriedly said, "If Lord Cu Chulainn takes action, will it attract more God Slayers? After all, the appearance of two demigod heroes in a row is likely to attract the attention of the God Slayers."
