Chapter 26: Subaru Natsuki in Battle

Inside the internet cafe, Kisara, who had just undergone a major clean-up, lay on the chair as if he were about to die.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Liu Yuan tapped the table, "Going to die? Fine! Then today I'll be alone."

"Give me five minutes, no! One minute, just let me catch my breath for a minute."

After taking a deep breath, Kisara suddenly sat up straight and swiftly turned on the computer, putting on her glasses.

While waiting for Liu Yuan to book the room, Kisara curiously asked, "Boss, in the game, weapons can be given to others. So in the future, if one person completes the game, can't they just mindlessly take away weapons?"

Kisara felt this was a bug. If that were the case, wouldn't they just toss out all sorts of magical weapons and skills, making it pointless to complete the game?

"Huh? You don't need to worry about that. The weapons given away can only be used once, and after one battle, the weapon will return. And they have no power at all. That 'Golden Wave' is just for show."

"Ah? Isn't that cheating?"

"Nope! What I meant was, in the case of someone not qualified, I'm giving them a weapon that already belongs to them. Their strength is enough, temporarily using the weapons they can obtain should be fine."

"But what if they don't clear the game for a long time?"

"Then the system will curse them to randomly shorten a body organ by five centimeters, and if it's less than five centimeters, it will disappear directly."

"..."

Kisara blushed, while Liu Yuan teased, "You think dirty so quickly. But if you ask me, being five centimeters shorter isn't that bad. What's really scary is if it's an organ like the brain or the heart that's five centimeters shorter. Imagine what would happen."

"Ugh, that's terrifying."

"What's terrifying? As long as he wants, even if he's broke, I'll lend him money to become the Elden Lord."

Kisara was astonished, "So generous?"

"Anyway, the borrowed money will definitely be paid back. Enough chatter, let's get started! We'll play one chapter today and then sleep."

Liu Yuan noticed Subaru Natsuki's unusual behavior these days. To solve his troubles, he didn't hesitate to start a new game to obtain equipment. But this couldn't go on. He didn't have any pay-to-win games in hand now.

How much money could he spend on these buyout games? He had to keep Kisara online for a long time and engage in some value-added consumption.

At the same time, as Subaru Natsuki wielded the Sacred Relic Sword, the words "You're not qualified" flashed repeatedly in his mind.

But as he swung the weapon, a golden flame appeared on the ground and pushed forward.

The divine, god-like golden flame continued to advance, consuming a large amount of Subaru Natsuki's mental strength with each meter. But it didn't matter; he had Infinite Cerulian Tears.

Along with the Cerulian Physick ingested, within fifteen seconds, he would have nearly unlimited energy to sustain this power.

At that moment, Emilia and Rem beside him showed expressions of shock. They had imagined what kind of power such a divine weapon could possess, but seeing it in action made them unable to help but marvel.

"Emilia, be careful. His condition doesn't seem good. He probably doesn't have the qualifications to use this weapon, forcibly using it will cause great exhaustion..."

"What?"

Emilia's heart tightened.

Although the two of them were complete strangers before, they now faced strong enemies together. Despite bearing the appearance of a Witch, he harbored no ill will towards herself.

Although they were fighting side by side now, it seemed she was more like the one being protected.

"Don't think like that~"

Pack whispered softly, "He can't control the weapon perfectly, which will lead to various accidents in battle. And if he fails, he'll need your protection."

"I will protect him."

Emilia's tone was firm.

Rem also nodded.

She couldn't be very useful in a battle of this level, but whatever happened next, she would do her best to protect Subaru Natsuki.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Subaru Natsuki felt as if his soul were being burned, and the words "You're not qualified" appeared on his entire soul.

"Qualified, I..."

"Defeat Radagon and become the Elden Lord!"

"I will, I definitely will, become the Elden Lord!!"

Subaru Natsuki's tone was unusually firm, and with the change in his will, his voice gradually changed.

"Lord, I'll wait for you inside the Erdtree."

With this last sentence, the previously elusive light became more firm, sweeping across the land like gold.

"What?"

Sloth noticed the flames surging towards them. Faced with this flame that seemed to burn the soul, his own power seemed so insignificant.

"Sloth! Truly slothful. That guy... Hahaha! We'll meet again someday."

Clutching his face, Sloth's whole body twisted in expression. The speed of the flames didn't seem fast, but in just a breath's time, it was already in front of him.

Escape, he had to escape quickly. This kind of power was not something he could contend with.

As for the other guys? They were no longer important. The person who could control this kind of power was not someone he could provoke. After dealing with this guy later, he could come back and capture Emilia.

After using this battle technique once, the weapon in Subaru Natsuki's hand disappeared, but he sensed deep down that the weapon was waiting for him, waiting for the moment when he could truly wield it.

"I will, I definitely will."

His spirit returned to normal, and the divine flames continued to advance, but by now, Sloth, the Archbishop of Sloth, had already escaped. The beasts and cultists beside him also escaped unharmed.

"Everyone, let's go, we need to take care of these people."

Beatrice asked, "How do you feel? It's not that we care about you, it's just that we're afraid you'll cause trouble for us if you die."

"Thanks, I feel okay."

Rem sighed, "You should rest first. I'll take care of the rest."

Under the flames, only some charred bodies and the beasts that had luckily escaped remained. Because the flames spread gradually from small to large, from near to far, some of the first beasts to rush over were not affected.

Dealing with these beasts was much simpler. Subaru Natsuki held up his shield, and Emilia, as a mage, mindlessly cast spells.

This was the first time Emilia had been so relaxed since she was young.

Subaru Natsuki's reaction and predictive abilities were extremely accurate. He always blocked and deflected attacks before the beasts could strike, turning them into sitting ducks for Emilia's output.

Beatrice and Rem also tried, but they found it very difficult. There was no sense of cooperation at all; it felt more like each person was fighting separately.

On the surface, Subaru Natsuki seemed very serious in battle, but deep down, he longed for thaf weapon.

He had to become the King of Elden and obtain the Sacred Relic Sword. It wasn't because of the coolness or the power, but because of his commitment to the weapon.

"Wait? Commitment to the weapon?"

Subaru Natsuki felt something was off, but when he saw the large beasts still able to fight back, he withdrew his thoughts and prepared to think about it later.
