Chapter : 420
Dark, gray storm clouds swirled wildly around him. The wind howled loudly. The ocean waves crashed far below. Ken hovered in the air. He stood perfectly straight.
"Anime logic, equip," Ken whispered softly.
His clothes transformed in a single millisecond. The wrinkled navy blue suit melted away. The untucked white shirt disappeared. A dramatic, high-collared black cloak materialized over his shoulders. Brilliant, elegant gold embroidery lined the dark fabric. The cloak fluttered wildly in the storm.
A smooth, terrifying black mask appeared over his face. A single, glowing purple eye ignited in the very center of the mask. The purple light pierced through the dark clouds.
The lazy slacker was completely gone. Lancelot had arrived.
Lancelot hovered like a dark god. He looked down at the raging Titanoboa. He radiated an aura of absolute, crushing authority. The air around him turned freezing cold. The storm seemed to obey his every command.
He needed to get the monster's attention. He needed to stop the attack.
Lancelot spoke. His deep, echoing voice boomed across the entire coastline. It did not sound like a normal human voice. It sounded like rolling thunder. It carried absolute, undeniable power.
"Cease your pathetic struggle," Lancelot announced formally.
The booming voice shook the very foundation of the town. The terrified onlookers on the beach gasped. Local fishermen dropped to their knees. Tourists hid behind buildings. They all looked up at the sky.
Down on the broken docks, the 13th Unit froze. They stopped trying to stand. They looked up at the dark storm clouds.
Princess Iris lowered her silver rapier. Her violet eyes widened in pure awe. She saw the dark figure hovering in the sky. She saw the black cloak fluttering in the wind. She saw the glowing purple eye shining like a star.
"It is him," Princess Iris whispered. Her voice shook with profound shock. "It is the masked entity."
Naomi stared at the sky. Her green eyes were completely wide. She could not believe it. "Lancelot," Naomi breathed out. "The legend from the capital. The strongest weapon in the Empire."
Sayma pushed her cracked glasses up. She stared at the sky in absolute disbelief. "His magical aura is immense. It covers the entire ocean. It defies all statistical logic. He actually arrived to intervene in our battle."
Laxmi grinned a huge, excited grin. "We are saved! The shadow god is here!"
Even Ira looked amazed. Her pale face showed a tiny hint of surprise. "The probability of a mythical entity appearing to assist us was zero percent. This is a miraculous anomaly."
The 13th Unit whispered in shocked disbelief. They felt completely safe. The most terrifying being in the world was on their side.
The Titanoboa heard the booming voice. The monster stopped its attack. It did not swing its massive tail. It tilted its colossal head upward. It looked at the tiny floating man in the black cloak. The beast let out a vicious, challenging hiss. It did not want to submit. It wanted to fight.
Lancelot stared down at the giant sea serpent. The glowing purple eye burned brighter. He did not feel any fear. He only felt pure, absolute disgust.
Lancelot coldly declared his judgment. He wanted the entire coastline to hear his words.
"You are nothing more than a foul messenger," Lancelot decreed loudly. His voice cut through the howling wind. "You serve the Black Soul Sovereign. You bring corruption to this ocean. You terrorize innocent people. Your existence is a complete insult."
The terrified onlookers on the beach murmured to each other. They did not know the name of the Black Soul Sovereign. They did not understand the deep magical lore. But they understood that the giant snake was evil. They understood that the masked man was there to destroy it.
Princess Iris listened to his words. She felt a chill run down her spine. "The Black Soul Sovereign," Iris thought to herself. "He speaks of ancient, forbidden darkness. He knows the true origin of this beast."
Lancelot raised his right hand. He pointed a dark-gloved finger directly at the roaring Titanoboa. He passed his final sentence.
"I decree that you will perish instantly," Lancelot announced with absolute finality.
The sea monster roared in fury. It opened its massive jaws. It lunged upward toward the dark clouds. It wanted to bite the floating god out of the sky.
Lancelot did not move. He simply gave a tiny, effortless flick of his wrist.
He unleashed his terrifying power. He did not chant a spell. He just commanded the storm to obey him.
The dark gray clouds above the ocean violently split open. Blinding yellow lightning flashed across the sky. The thunder cracked so loudly it hurt the ears of everyone on the beach.
Massive, unbreakable electrical chains erupted directly from the storm clouds. The chains were made of pure, highly concentrated lightning. They sparked and popped with immense, destructive voltage.
The chains shot down from the sky like falling meteors. They moved with blistering, impossible speed. They aimed straight for the leaping sea monster. The real fight was about to end in a single, flawless moment.
---
The massive electrical chains crashed into the ocean. They slammed directly into the leaping Titanoboa. The impact was blinding. Bright yellow light flooded the entire coastline.
The chains completely wrapped around the colossal beast. They coiled tightly around its thick, dark green scales. One chain tied its massive jaws firmly shut. Another chain pinned its long, thrashing tail against the churning water. More chains wrapped around its huge torso.
The Titanoboa thrashed wildly. It twisted its massive body. It tried to snap the glowing chains. It used every single ounce of its ancient, mythic strength.
The chains did not break. They did not even stretch. They were absolutely unbreakable.
The intense electrical voltage surged through the chains. The pure energy shocked the giant sea serpent. The monster went totally rigid. Its muscles locked up completely. The thrashing stopped. The beast was completely paralyzed. It hung helplessly above the crashing waves. It could not move a single scale.
Naomi watched from the broken docks. She gasped loudly. "He stopped it. He completely paralyzed a legendary apex predator with a single flick of his wrist. That is impossible."
Laxmi cheered. "He is amazing! Burn that stupid snake!"
Lancelot hovered calmly above the trapped monster. He looked down at his helpless prey. He decided it was time to finish the spectacle. He wanted to make this execution incredibly dramatic. He loved using flashy, anime-inspired attacks. It made the job much more fun.
Lancelot raised his hand to his face. He touched the edge of his smooth black mask.
Suddenly, Lancelot’s glowing purple eye shifted. The bright purple light flickered once. Then, it vanished entirely.
The single eye on the mask turned into a terrifying, pitch-black void. It looked like an endless, empty abyss. It absorbed all the light around it. It radiated an aura of pure, crushing despair. The sky seemed to grow darker just from the presence of the void.
"Blue Devils Eyes," Lancelot stated quietly.
The dark void in his mask pulsed. A massive surge of magical energy exploded from his body. The energy rushed into the sky behind him.
