Demon King Priest

Calm and collected holy green pupils, snow-white girl's face, a few strands of golden hair on her forehead fluttering in the wind, and the blond hair behind her head was tied by a blue ribbon; wearing a set of knight's armor exuding a cold breath, and holding a large golden sword about 1.5 meters long in her hands, this was appearance of the girl who appeared in front of Aya and Helen after the golden ball of light burst.

However, although she had the figure and face of a girl, she had a powerful aura that would never appear on a normal girl. As long as one stood opposite her, one could feel that amazing majesty. That was no longer just the feeling of a "strong man", but the kind of powerful aura that the "king" possessed.

"Where am I? I should have been killed by those death knights?" The girl who had just awakened was a little confused. She looked around and said with some confusion.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect that the death knight is actually a girl with such a powerful aura after resurrection. What is your name?" Seeing the girl's appearance and feeling the powerful aura in her, Aya was obviously a little surprised.

"Resurrection? Then I am really dead? Where is this place, who are you? Ah! Resurrection!! Are you the subordinate of the necromancer!! I, the king of England, the knight of the holy sword, Arcelia, will definitely not become your subordinates to attack humans." After speaking, the girl named Arcelia raised the golden sword in her hand and assumed a fighting stance.

"King of England, the holy sword knight, Arcelia? Okay, Helen will try her strength first to see how much better she is than the previous death knight." Aya looked at the girl with the golden sword with great interests and gave Helen the order to attack.

"Yes! Sister Aya!" After hearing Aya's order, Helen immediately put down the pink rabbit in her arms, and then slowly walked to Arcelia who was in a fighting stance.

"You are a human being, why do you want to help that demon? They are necromancers who want to wipe out all life on the continent, don't you know?" Seeing that it was a little silver-haired girl who came to face her, Arcelia was somewhat surprised.

"Sister Aya's order is absolute!" Helen said coldly, and at the same time she exuded an astonishing murderous aura.

"Is it?! Then I will not restrain myself! Holy Sword Excalibur, Barrier of the Wind King!" Feeling the amazing murderous aura on Helen's body, Arcelia launched the offensive first without hesitation. As she shouted, the golden sword with dazzling light disappeared from her hand. Then she attacked Helen empty-handed.

"Clang!" Helen leaped into the air and threw her right fist to Arcelia, but this fist was blocked by something, and a dazzling white light burst out where the two sides collided. But even under the shining of this white light, it was still impossible to see what was blocking Helen's attack.

‘Interesting, is it an invisible sword? It seems that Phantasm of the girl named Arcelia is quite good, but this is of no use to Helen. Helen is fighting more by her intuition rather than her senses.' On the side, Aya could easily see the secret of Arcelia's sword, but she did not speak to remind Helen, because she had absolute confidence in Helen.

"Clang! Clang!" The battle between the two continued, and countless dazzling flashes exploded in front of them. Arcelia's invisible sword and Helen's fist kept colliding in the air, but neither side was able to break the opponent's defense. Although Arcelia's sword was invisible, every punch of Helen hit the sword that should be invisible.

‘Strange, she shouldn't be able to see my sword! Why can she block my attack with her fist every time? Moreover, what is going on with her body? How is it possible that she can use her body to compete with the holy sword Excalibur! It is absolutely impossible for humans to have that level of physical defense. Is she a dragon girl, if that's the case…' Arcelia frowned, and suddenly used a powerful slash to force Helen away.

Then, the invisible sword in Arcelia's hand gleamed brightly and restored the appearance of the golden sword. No, it was not just recovery, because the light from that golden sword was several times brighter than when it first appeared.

"Bang!" Helen, who was forced away, quickly moved to Arcelia's body and attacked her again, but this attack was still blocked by Arcelia's sword. And unlike before, when Helen's fists and Arcelia's sword met, the space around the sword suddenly appeared an abnormal distortion, and then Helen was knocked away.

‘Huh? It's strange, Arcelia's power is absolutely impossible to be stronger than Helen. How could she knock her away? There must be something weird on that holy sword Excalibur. For the first time, Aya, who was watching the fight, had a surprised look on her face. She began to observe the Phantasm called Excalibur carefully.

In the following battle, Arcelia completely had the upper hand. Every time she swayed her sword, it would cast out a powerful magic energy, which was so powerful that it could be seen with the naked eye. That powerful magic energy would infiltrate Helen's body by just touching her body. Although Helen still blocked all the attacks, she had to step back a few steps every time she blocked a sword attack, and her body had almost been cut by Arcelia's sword several times.

"Clang! Clang!" A huge and dazzling light kept flashing between the two of them. Although it was daytime, those lights still made people unable to open their eyes.

"YA!" For the first time since the battle began, Arcelia made a sound, and the sword in her hand emitted several powerful sword energies. These sword energies forced Helen to use her fists to defend. Then, she sent out continuous slashes without gaps, like a storm. Helen, who was defending the sword energy, was unable to resist, and was instantly hit by the attack. But...

"How is it possible!!" Arcelia looked at Helen who had been directly hit by her Phantasm holy sword Excalibur more than seven times, and couldn't believe her eyes. Because under her all-out slash, Helen's clothes were torn apart, but the exposed skin didn't even have any scars from being slashed by the sword.

But Helen didn't care about Arcelia's shock. Seeing that her attack had stopped, she moved to her left hand without hesitation, and slammed a punch forward. The target was her hand holding the sword.

"Bang!" Unprepared, Arcelia could only take Helen's attack with her left hand, but the power of Helen's fist was not something she could handle with her hand. With a "crack", despite the protection of the gloves, the bones of her left hand were almost all crushed by Helen, but she resisted the piercing pain and swung the sword in her right hand to force Helen away.

‘This is bad! Even with the scabbard, it would take more than three hours to recover from such a serious injury! And my strength should almost no longer be able to support Excalibur ‘s strength. What should I do? Should I first take a defensive position and wait for the injury to recover or use…' Arcelia raised the sword with her right hand and pointed it at Helen in front of her, thinking of countermeasures quickly.

"Boom!" Helen used the Ground Shock Wave she learned from death knight, and an invisible shock wave mixed with sand and gravel rolled toward Arcelia aggressively.

"What?" Arcelia didn't expect that Helen, who had been attacking only with fists since the beginning of the fight, would suddenly resort to this wide range of attacks, and somehow she actually felt that this move was very familiar. Unable to react in time, and she was hit by the shock wave and pushed more than ten meters away.

However, this move did not cause her any harm, it just soiled her armor a bit. She quickly recovered, and used the sword to block Helen's following attack that followed the shock wave.

Then the fight returned to the situation like how they started, but this time Helen attacked more frequently, and Arcelia was clearly on the defensive. But no matter which direction Helen's attacks came from, she could knock her away with the sword held in her right hand, showing her fighting skills far above Helen. Huge flashes of light continued to appear between the two of them again.

‘What is going on, why can I still support the power of Excalibur, before I could only maintain this state for a few minutes at most! More than ten minutes have passed now. And my left hand…' The more she fought with Helen, the more strange Arcelia felt. Her body actually seemed to be several times stronger than before, and power was constantly emerging from her body, as if there was no limit. And the speed of recovery from the left hand injury was so fast that she almost couldn't believe it. According to her estimation, it would be completely healed in about five minutes.

‘Could it be that I am no longer a human being?' Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through her mind.

‘Oh, so that's how it is! That is the sword of victory!' After watching on the side for a long time, Aya finally understood a little bit of the Phantasm Excalibur.Saber/Arcelia
