I Will Eventually Embark on the Path of No Return Called a Hero [Arc2] - 58. The Thunder of the Gods
---
Command Spells are symbols of the contract between a Heroic Spirit and their Master, and they also establish a master-servant relationship. No matter how great a hero is, they will bend their will in the face of a Command Spell.
"By the Command Spell, Karna, defeat Cyd."
"By the Command Spell, Karna, defeat Cyd."
"By the Command Spell, Karna, defeat Cyd."
In an instant, the three Command Spells dissipated. The Master, Kotomine Shirou, who was slumped on the sofa, nodded with satisfaction.
Karna was fundamentally different from other heroes. While heroes have their own pride and sometimes completely disregard their Master's orders—like Achilles, who does whatever he pleases—Karna, despite his pride, prioritizes his Master.
When a Master he had never met suddenly used three Command Spells, Karna would be confused, but he would still follow the Master's orders, no matter how unreasonable they seemed.
"So…" Cyd, holding the tip of the Brahmastra with his bare hand, asked, "Is this your choice?"
"My Master's command is my choice," Karna calmly looked at Cyd. With the support of the three Command Spells, he could now give his all. "And I also want to settle this with you."
"Then there's no helping it!"
Blood covered Cyd's pupils, and the shadow of the giant blade loomed over Karna.
"Boom----"
Searing flames erupted from Karna's body. Cyd grinned and charged directly into the flames that had once forced Vlad III to retreat.
Surprised by Cyd's ferocity, Karna was thrown and smashed into the wall.
"Leave first; I'll handle this," Cyd said, patting the flames off his body.
"I'll stay here and watch," Atalanta crossed her arms. "Village girl, you can go by yourself."
"Uh… Please be careful!" Jeanne hesitated but continued toward the Holy Grail.
Karna slowly stood up from the rubble. Even as Jeanne ran past him, he made no attempt to stop her. His current order from his Master was to defeat Cyd. If Jeanne could trouble that priest, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Just so you know, I'll use all my power to defeat you," Cyd drove the [Reforged Pandora] in its Ares form into the ground. The earth began to boil, and the bubbling magma spread out from Cyd.
"Thank you."
Flames erupted behind Karna as he shot through the space like an arrow. The burning fire wrapped around the Brahmastra and thrust toward Cyd's head.
"You really are a peculiar person."
Cyd reversed his grip on the sword hilt and swung the Reforged Pandora. The giant blade made from boiling magma brought a high temperature that distorted space upon appearing. Karna's eyes narrowed, and he withdrew his spear to catch the burst of flames, spinning around to slash at the giant blade.
When the magma giant blade collided with the Brahmastra, there was no blinding light or shockwave. Even magma couldn't sever the spear in Karna's hands. The high temperature of the magma didn't significantly affect the son of the Sun God. Confident in his strength, Karna didn't anticipate what was to come.
The magma giant blade was easily split by the Brahmastra, but Cyd continued to wield it. Karna's eyes narrowed sharply as the scorching magma passed through the Brahmastra and struck his body. Just like with the Brahmastra, the magma didn't severely injure him, but it did envelop him!
But Cyd's attack had just begun. The high temperature quickly dropped to zero, and the magma solidified into rock. The Brahmastra and Karna were imprisoned within the magma blade.
"Creak creak—"
The discordant sound of rocks breaking made Karna's expression stiffen. Something was cutting through the rocks and approaching him.
His instincts told him that he must not be touched!
"O' Brahma—"
Flames exploded from the cracks in the rock, and with countless flying shards, Karna finally saw what was approaching him. It was a black scythe. Even amidst the sun-like flames, Karna felt a chill. It was an unavoidable end—being struck would bypass all processes and lead directly to death!
"Curse me!"
Karna swung his spear, and flames erupted from the spear tip like the sun striking the earth. The death scythe was pushed back by the impact of the flames.
"I can see," Cyd's blood-red eyes had completely faded, replaced by pure black. It was an abyss that even light would be swallowed by, but through this abyss, Cyd saw all death. As long as he saw it, he could harvest everything.
Even this fire!
Cyd, bathed in flames, gently swung the scythe in his hand. Countless black lights traversed the entire space, and the blazing flames were drawn into the darkness.
"This is the blessing your legend says you received from Hades, the Lord of the Underworld," Karna said with a serious expression.
"Who knows~ But I can responsibly tell you that even gods who are nearly immortal will be harvested by this scythe. Immortality means nothing in its presence," Cyd carried the scythe on his shoulder. "Because I have witnessed and done it myself, the fall of immortal gods. So there is no existence in this world that I cannot harvest."
"But as long as there is no end, it cannot harvest, right?" Karna exhaled. "If it's you, if it's you, it's enough for me to use this attack!"
The golden armor protecting Karna began to fall off, but it wasn't disappearing; it was merging into the spear in his hand. The true Brahmastra was awakening.
He was born a tragedy.
His birth was merely an experiment by his mother. After succeeding, he became a troublesome existence and was abandoned.
But he did not harbor resentment towards his mother because he knew she had her reasons. Fortunately, his father still loved him and granted him the golden armor. Although his life was still not smooth, he climbed to the top through his unyielding will.
However, he was once again abandoned by fate. He faced the son of the King of Gods, Arjuna, his half-brother. All the gods, except for his father, stood behind Arjuna, but even then, he remained unmoved.
He knew that the one asking for his golden armor was Arjuna's father in disguise, but he did not expose it. Instead, he calmly cut off the golden armor that had merged with his flesh.
The King of Gods was moved and gave him a fatal strike, but to prevent Arjuna from being killed by it, Karna was tricked into taking the hit during the duel.
As a result, he was ended with almost no room for resistance.
Although there was some regret, even someone like Arjuna would strike him, even if it meant breaking a promise. Wasn't that a form of acknowledgment? Karna's heart was actually satisfied.
But he still wanted a fair, all-out duel.
[You will satisfy me, right?]
As someone also favored by the gods, Karna saw Arjuna's shadow in Cyd.
Karna slowly rose into the air, his snow-white hair fluttering in the flames. Without the golden armor, his will was even higher. The upcoming attack was the embodiment of his noble will, a spear of light capable of defeating the gods.
"Know the mercy of the King of Gods."
"Indra, open your eyes. "
"This single strike is extinction itself!"
"A strike of the Brahmastra combined with your will, right?" Cyd raised the corner of his mouth. Accompanied by roaring lightning, the scythe transformed into a staff. "Then it's a shame not to counter with full force!"
[Reforged Pandora]—Zeus form.
The crystallization representing the King of Gods, Zeus, shone to its limit. Bathing in lightning, Cyd seemed like Zeus himself descended. The thunder capable of slaying gods gathered in Cyd's staff.
"Thank you!" Karna smiled with satisfaction.
"Burn it all - Vasavi Shakti!!!"
Cyd raised the staff.
"Behold the majesty of the King of Gods."
"This is the lightning that shields the cosmos."
"One strike, and it shall end."
"Zeus!"
