"Break!"
Dreyfus pointed his longsword at Drake, the entire sword body enveloped in magic power, shooting a beam of light from the tip of the sword.
Drake didn't even summon his Sacred Gear, directly grabbing it with his hand.
The beam of light, which could theoretically pierce through everything, was actually grabbed by Drake's hand, and as his fingers closed, it was directly crushed.
Shaking his hand to shake off the light fragments, Drake said, "Didn't I say it already, you can't unleash the true power of this magic power right now."
Dreyfus' eyebrows stood on end, his already serious face becoming even more gloomy.
"Don't think that you can shake my resolve like this, my justice is unyielding!"
Drake curled his lip, saying, "Interesting, is he really retaining a trace of consciousness, or is he just too immersed in the role?"
The two possibilities Drake mentioned were of course aimed at two people, but Dreyfus' tone just now did sound like he wasn't pretending.
But no matter what, it didn't stop Drake from beating him up.
Dreyfus had already been on guard with twelve thousand points of caution, but he still couldn't see Drake's movements clearly.
His vision blurred for a moment, and he saw that Drake had already approached him.
Because he wanted to become his son's pride, Dreyfus had never relaxed his training. Even Meliodas had praised his swordsmanship.
Even if his body had been taken over, his swordsmanship had already become an instinct, integrated into his body.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, Dreyfus had already swung his knight's sword at Drake's neck.
And Drake also moved at the same time, not retreating, but getting even closer, slamming an elbow into Dreyfus' chest.
The red armor, which was made of special metal, was directly dented, and Dreyfus was sent flying back before his longsword could even fall.
After crashing through several walls, Dreyfus finally stopped, propping himself up with his sword, kneeling on one knee, and breathing rapidly.
With Dreyfus' strength, he naturally wouldn't be unable to control his own breathing. But that elbow from Drake had been too heavy, forcing him to use this method to calm his breath.
Forcing himself to stand up, Dreyfus looked at Drake.
The Fraudrin inside him had lived from the time of the Holy War until now, and had seen countless powerful warriors on the battlefield.
But even among those warriors who could be called heroes, he couldn't find anyone like Drake.
Although it was just a probing exchange, Drake's flawless strength gave him a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.
Drake walked over step by step, with flames surging out, wrapping around his body.
Dreyfus concentrated all of his magic power, and the longsword in his hand seemed to be unable to withstand such powerful magic power, beginning to groan.
"Heavenly Han Piercing Prison Sword!"
This could be said to be Dreyfus' ultimate sword technique, but just as the huge magic power blade, with its astonishing destructive power, was formed, Drake, surrounded by flames, charged over.
"Who would get hit by a skill with such a long windup!"
Drake said this, raising his hand and punching Dreyfus in the face, a tooth and blood flying out together.
Dreyfus' head, which had just straightened, tilted to the other side again, and a circle of dark blue quickly appeared around his eye.
Dreyfus raised his sword, wanting to counterattack, but was kicked away by Drake.
Although Dreyfus' magic power was "Break," and his ability leaned towards destruction, its essence was the power of will.
His tenacious will not only made his attacks indestructible, but also gave him an incredibly powerful body.
Even after suffering several heavy blows, his aura hadn't weakened too much. Hmm... a qualified punching bag.
Drake shifted his feet, wanting to continue his attack, when a loud explosion suddenly rang out from the side.
A mushroom cloud rose from the town, caused by Stella's "Sky-Burning Earth-Scorching Dragon King Flame."
However, that attack, it felt like Stella was starting to get angry?
In the instant that Drake's attention was diverted, a Spell Jewel appeared in Dreyfus' hand, and he decisively threw it on the ground.
Purple mist spread out, and taking advantage of Drake cautiously dodging the poisonous mist, Dreyfus directly disappeared from the spot.
Dreyfus had never been much of a warrior, so he naturally wouldn't fight Drake to the death here.
He didn't know how Hendrickson was progressing, but as long as the plan progressed to this point, getting Elizabeth's blood was all that mattered.
Even if all of the arrangements in the Kingdom of Liones were lost, it wouldn't be much of a loss.
What he needed to do now was find an opportunity to get close to Elizabeth and obtain her blood as the key to opening the Demon Clan seal.
It was just a pity that there were a lot more people than planned around Elizabeth this time, making things a bit troublesome.
But fortunately, Dreyfus' identity could still be of some use, and there might be some room to maneuver.
Drake didn't care about the Dreyfus who had escaped, and hurried towards Stella's direction.
The group escorting the king hadn't gone far, and Drake quickly caught up with them.
But what Drake saw at first glance was a group of monsters attacking them.
Those monsters were bloated all over, with bizarre skin tones. But they were huge, and their bodies were surging with powerful magic power.
Most importantly, those monsters all had a person who only showed their upper body at the position of their chest. That appearance was exactly the same as Del from before.
That's right, these people were all New Generation Holy Knights who had drunk Demon Clan blood.
Under Hendrickson's manipulation, the Demon Clan blood had run rampant, turning them into this.
With fires breaking out everywhere in the royal capital, and even the king having been rescued, the situation was severely unfavorable, Hendrickson didn't have any other better choices, and chose to cause chaos throughout the entire royal capital.
Faced with these innocent people who were being manipulated, Stella and the others couldn't help but be a bit restrained.
It was precisely Hendrickson's actions that made Stella feel a bellyful of anger, but she couldn't vent it.
In terms of destructive power, Stella, who had mastered the power of dragons, had become even stronger after obtaining the Grace of the Gods.
But in this situation, no matter how strong her destructive power was, she couldn't deal with it.
And Hendrickson himself, right now he was beating up Meliodas and Ban.
However, Hendrickson right now wasn't at all like his usual middle-aged self, only those who were familiar with him could recognize that it was clearly him in his youth.
And his bare upper body was covered in a black pattern, which was clearly the power of the Demon Clan.
The New Generation were Hendrickson's research results, and his masterpiece was his own body, which had completely fused with the power of the Demon Clan.
Perhaps there was Fraudrin's influence, but in any case, the current Hendrickson was no different from Meliodas after he had gone berserk, and even maintained his sanity.
Even though Meliodas had heeded Elizabeth's advice of "I just want you to live," and had put down his short rod and picked up his shortsword, which he was more skilled with, he was still being suppressed by Hendrickson in the battle.
If he was still human, he would have been chopped into who knows how many pieces by Meliodas long ago.
But now, even wounds that nearly cut him in half at the waist were quickly healed after the black pattern moved to the wound.
It was precisely with this ability that he had suppressed Meliodas and Ban.
And as the two fell into a difficult battle, those berserk New Generation also launched attacks on the Holy Knights who had rejoined the king's side, as well as Stella and the others, and even civilians became their targets.
The originally peaceful royal capital had become a chaotic battlefield in such a short half-day.
