Chapter 1038: I Won't Allow That to Happen
"How can we let them do as they please!"
"Don't you dare harm Lady Cnoc na Riabh and her companions!"
"Soldiers, heed our command! Avenge King Uther!"
The human guards were equally enraged. Under the direction of the Round Table Knights, they rushed forward with iron weapons in hand, shielding Eiji and Cnoc na Riabh behind them.
A chaotic battle between fairies and humans was on the verge of breaking out!
"Heh, since Uther is already dead, the ceasefire agreement is naturally void."
Spreagán, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, now intervened.
A cruel smile spread across his face.
"I never liked seeing humans climb above us fairies. Why not take this opportunity to wipe out the Round Table Knights as well?"
This way, the foundation of the Round Table Army would be completely destroyed!
This human kingdom would never have the chance to rise again!
Not even a final flicker of hope would remain!
"I'll join in too!"
Muryan of the Wing Clan slowly flew up into the air.
At the same time, an incredibly unique barrier fluctuation emanated from her, spreading over ten kilometers in just a few seconds, covering the entirety of Londinium!
"My fairy domain can negate strength! Everyone's power will revert to what it was at level 1! Cnoc na Riabh, even you are no exception. As weak as you'll become, you can't win against the combined might of two clan leaders!"
Despite her small stature, Muryan radiated the most terrifying aura among all present.
"Crap, even the Wing Clan's troublemaker is getting involved?"
Grimm's expression instantly changed.
"That domain is no ordinary nuisance—this is very bad for us! All of you, prepare for battle!"
Mash and Habenyan immediately tensed up, raising their shield and loom respectively.
"Haha! Is this old man going to have his eardrums pierced and be thrown into the sea?"
Ector grinned ferociously.
"So it's come to this after all."
Eiji sighed as he watched the chaos unfolding around him.
According to the normal course of historical events, the Round Table Army would be annihilated by the clan leaders next, Ector would be thrown into the sea, and even Londinium would be consumed by a great fire.
Not only that—if Eiji hadn't intervened earlier, Woodwose might have twisted the truth, pinning the blame on Cnoc na Riabh and making her the scapegoat. This would have driven Cnoc na Riabh to utter despair, forcing her to fake her death to escape.
"Eiji!"
Cnoc na Riabh looked at him anxiously.
Just as Muryan had said, even she couldn't resist this fairy domain. If things continued like this, history would inevitably follow its original course!
Not only would Londinium be destroyed, but her former friends would also scatter and go their separate ways!
Now, the only one she could rely on was Eiji!
"Don't worry. Since I'm here, I won't allow such things to happen!"
Eiji stepped forward with unwavering determination.
In that instant, dark mist, like a hazy dream, seeped out from within him.
The mist transformed into a domain, blocking Muryan's. Within his own domain, Eiji instantly regained his full power.
Not only that, but with his magical power surging, the pitch-black mist erupted endlessly in the blink of an eye, and the dream domain enveloped all of Londinium in less than a second!
"H-How is this possible?!"
Muryan shrieked in disbelief.
The clash between domains ultimately came down to who possessed greater magical power!
She was a Great Fairy of the A-Ring class!
Her innate magical power was astonishingly strong, yet she had been overpowered in an instant?
Just how powerful was that guy's magic?!
"My strength has returned?"
Mash clenched her fist.
To her delight, she discovered that both her magical and physical energy had been restored to their peak condition!
"The domain itself has been overturned! To accomplish something like this, could he be a god?"
Even Grimm was taken aback by the sheer intensity of the domain, unable to resist voicing his astonishment.
"He's incredibly strong! Is his power even greater than Cernunnos's?"
The dream domain blanketed the surroundings of Londinium.
Within a radius of twenty kilometers, everything was under Eiji's control!
If there was one place beyond his influence, it would likely be the sanctuary Cernunnos had previously established.
Aside from that, no one could oppose him!
"Clan leaders? You were acting pretty arrogant just now!"
Eiji's gaze shifted to the two clan leaders.
Muryan and Spriggan's faces instantly paled.
"Bam!"
With a swift pivot of his foot, Eiji vanished without a trace.
The next moment, his fist, like a cannonball, slammed squarely into Muryan's abdomen.
"Boom!"
Without even a chance to scream, Muryan, now bent into a > shape, was sent flying and embedded into the wall, impossible to pry loose.
Then, Eiji turned his attention to Spriggan.
"W-Wait, I—"
Though he wore sunglasses that obscured his expression,
Spriggan felt a chill run down his spine the moment Eiji's eyes fell upon him.
He tried to lower his stance and speak a few placating words,
but in a blur, the shadowy figure appeared before him like the Grim Reaper.
"Boom—!!"
A high kick descended.
That formidable leg descended like a battle-axe from the heavens, cleaving Spriggan into the ground.
Instantly, a spiderweb of cracks, spanning several meters, spread across the floor.
A violent gust of wind swept through the hall.
Everyone fell silent.
They stared at him with a mix of shock, admiration, and terror.
For a moment, not one of the nearly hundred people in the hall dared to move, fearing they might incur his wrath with just a few strikes.
"Still alive?"
Eiji lifted his foot.
Spriggan, lying in the crater, vomited a mouthful of blood, his energy utterly depleted.
"If you're not dead, go calm the fairies in the city. If even one Earth Clan fairy causes trouble, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Fairies can be replaced, so death means nothing to you. That's why you usually don't fear it. But if even your soul is destroyed, you won't be able to reincarnate. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"...Y-Yes! I... I understand... Gah!"
Spriggan stared at him with overwhelming fear.
As soon as he regained a sliver of strength, he scrambled out of the crater and fled toward the streets, terrified that some bold clan fairy might drag him down.
"You too!"
Eiji picked up a pebble and tossed it over.
Miu Ruien's small figure fell from the wall.
Her expression was one of shock and fear, with even a flicker of anger and hatred visible in her eyes.
But she clearly knew how to read the situation, not daring to argue while her life was held in someone else's hands, and she slunk away from the venue in disgrace.
"As for you fairies of the Wind Clan..."
Having dealt with the two clan leaders, Eiji's gaze fell upon the high-ranking fairies of the Wind Clan.
The fairies who had been clamoring for revenge just moments ago now looked as pale as death.
