At his words, Lucas's grin sharpened.
"Alright then, no more warm-up."
He drove his blade into the ground.
CRACK!
Golden light burst upward.
A symbol of intricate divine runes lit beneath his feet.
His sword shone—cleansed in radiant flame and lightning.
"…Excalibur, respond."
The black flames on his weapon vanished.
In their place, golden light ignited.
A divine light.
The Hero's True Sword.
He lifted it with both hands.
Aestrea's gaze narrowed slightly at the power enveloping it.
It fully showed the power of an SSS-rank weapon, and he honestly didn't know what kind of impact it could have with Lucas's power.
Lucas exhaled.
"…Demon Slaying Sword Art."
『 Void Breaker! (✦ SS-level Swordsmanship ✦) 』
FWOOOOOM—!!
A golden pressure wave exploded forward with a single slash.
Aestrea's ice blade shattered on impact as he blocked.
BANG—!!
He was thrown backward, boots grinding against the stone for several meters—but he didn't fall.
