Standing in the middle of the giant pit, Luo Hao's clothes were currently in disarray, many parts were torn revealing his once white and smooth skin covered in burns.
Luo Hao's breathing was currently messy and disorderly, Luo Hao was seriously injured after being hit by the white stallion and burned by the scorching fire of the Sun.
It had been a long time since Luo Hao was injured, the last time Luo Hao was injured was the battle with Marquis Voban decades ago.
Despite being injured and barely able to stand, Luo Hao persisted stubbornly and did not let herself fall to her knees.
On the other hand, even though Noah wasn't injured, he also consumed a lot of magic power to use a lot of authority and time power in a short time.
If it weren't for Toki Hami no Shiro constantly refilling his magic, Noah would definitely consume more magic power than Luo Hao.
After all, Noah's control over his authority was still weaker than Luo Hao's, so when using authority, Noah would consume a lot of magic power compared to Luo Hao.
Even so, this battle could be considered Noah's victory because Luo Hao had been seriously injured and her magic power continued to be absorbed by Noah.
So as Luo Hao's magic power continued to decrease, Noah's magic power continued to recover.
Noah walked toward Luo Hao with the White Stallion he summoned standing beside him.
"Luo Hao, this is my victory, if we continue, there will only be death between us."
Noah said calmly while looking at Luo Hao.
"I didn't expect you to have a sword that can overcome authority, this time it is my defeat. I am Luo Hao, I will not make excuses and will keep my promise. Come to Mount Lu if you are ready to take on the heretical god, I will prepare his summoning ritual" said Luo Hao while recovering.
Seeing Luo Hao admit defeat, Noah immediately eliminated the underworld and Toki Hami no Shiro.
"Are you going to stop by my house or come straight back?" Noah asked.
"No need, I'll be right back" said Luo Hao before disappearing.
Seeing Luo Hao leaving, Noa turned around and looked in a direction.
"Why don't you come out after watching for so long?" Noah said to an empty space not far from him.
Hearing Noah's words, the place that was originally empty suddenly appeared, a beautiful woman with blonde hair, eyes as green as emeralds, wearing a brownish red coat.
"I'm Alice Louis, nice to meet you, Noah Vermilion-sama"
Alice greeted Noah with graceful noble etiquette.
During the battle with Luo Hao, Noah felt that someone was watching them, but he didn't care because he didn't sense any evil intentions from the observer. Noah was also sure that Luo Hao felt it too, but because the observer was weak and didn't appear, Luo Hao ignored it.
As an Astral body, Alice can go wherever she wants except for some places that have magic defenses. She could teleport using her Astral body without hindrance. Alice's Astral Body was no different from an ordinary body except that she had no sense of taste, so she basically couldn't feel the taste of food. This was one of Alice's heartaches because even though she used to travel freely around the world, she couldn't taste the various foods available.
Alice's Astral Body has the ability to become invisible at will, just like heroes in the Type Moon world who can appear and disappear at will.
"So, what's with the famous princess Alice coming to me?" Noah asked.
"I just wanted to meet the king who has been very active recently and coincidentally witnessed the king's fight" said Alice.
"So now you know, if there's nothing else, you can go back" Noah said before turning around.
"Wait, Vermilion-sama"
Alice stopped Noah who was about to leave.
"What is it?" Noah asked.
"I wonder if you know about the king of end?" Alice said trying to arouse Noah's curiosity.
"Oh? What is that?" Niah asked pretending to be curious.
"Don't you think that the number of Campiones is too small for thousands of years of human history? That's because the previous Campiones were exterminated by the King of the End when the number of campiones reached a certain number," Alice explained.
"Don't you think it's rude to talk to the king using the astral body?" Noah said suddenly.
"Please forgive my rudeness, but my body is weak and cannot leave the house" Alice said before bowing to apologize.
"Is that so?, then I want to visit to see what the weak princess looks like" Noah said lightly before disappearing.
Alice could only be stunned by Noah who suddenly wanted to visit and could only sigh that Campione was an eccentric and unpredictable person.
At the same time somewhere in England, a young blonde girl was looking at the sky in a daze.
"What are you thinking, my nephew?" A voice sounded from behind the girl. A figure of a knight wearing silver armor that covered her entire body appeared behind the girl.
The girl who woke up from her reverie was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the knight because she was already used to the knight's presence.
The knight always looked out for the girl's safety at all times and would always appear if the girl was in danger.
"I was thinking about where to find a king, uncle. King Arthur is not the king we are looking for," said the girl as she took out a very beautiful cup from her chest and held it in both hands.
The grail was the holy grail that the black prince Alec had been looking for.
From this it can be seen that the girl's identity is the holder and owner of the holy grail, Guinevere and her guardian knight Lancelot Du Lac, or that is their current identity.
Guinevere's true identity is the mother goddess of the past who has lost her name and memories of her past.
In the distant past, she was the mother goddess of the earth who fell in love with the king of end. She has lost her memory and doesn't remember what her name is, she just keeps looking for the whereabouts of the king of end to wake him up.
In the past she sacrificed her wisdom as an earth goddess and became a divine ancestor to create the holy grail. She will use the holy grail to rob other earth goddesses of their divinity to help the king of end gain his power without wandering the earth to gather magic power.
Every time the king of end wakes up, he will wander the earth for some time to replenish his magic power, but the end king's wandering will cause disaster to the earth because he continues to absorb the magic power of the earth's veins.
To help the king of end replenish his magic power quickly, in the past an earth mother goddess created a holy grail by sacrificing her divinity. That earth goddess is Guinevere now.
Due to losing her memory, Guinevere even forgot the identity of the king of end, so she just kept looking for him based on fate's guidance.
At first Guinevere thought the final king was King Arthur because of their similarities in mythology. So she recast the myth of king Arthur and made herself Guinevere.
Meanwhile, Lancelot, who always protects Guinevere, is not actually Lancelot, but an Amazon queen in the past. Although she was a goddess, she was not an earth mother goddess but a god of steel and warriors. This may be due to its origin as the Amazon, the land of women.
