Chapter 317: Holy Sword Unleashed, Enemy of the Planet!

Although Arthur had been absent for a long time, Li Ang still sensed roughly what this 【Star Holy Sword Wielder】 was doing.

The reason was simple: that terrifying aura had already become impossible to conceal.

Merlin, Nimoy, and Tezcatlipoca—the three spirits who had not joined the front-line battle—had not been slacking off; they had been covering for one of their comrades.

Fortunately, after the earlier battle, the other six Crown Servants besides Arthur were now in far worse condition.

Especially Romulus, who had faced Li Ang directly, and the two fragile ones: Orion and Tezcatlipoca.

Hercules, however, remained nearly unchanged from his initial state due to the presence of the Twelve Glories.

Yet Li Ang did not grow careless, for these Crown Servants could still crush him with their Crown Foundations.

He had no desire to be piled with debuffs.

As Li Ang thought this, the golden-haired swordsman, wielding the Holy Sword, slowly revealed his form.

"Thank you all for the cover," he first nodded to Merlin and the others, then gazed at the sky with a complex expression, "Your Grace."

"Save the words."

Li Ang cut off Arthur's speech, raised his right hand, and the cyan Qiu Dao Jade spinning around his wrist merged into one.

Upon hearing him, Arthur opened his mouth, then wore a look of shame, struggling to utter his final words: "This is a war to save the world."

"Admitted."

"Arthur."

As his words fell, a cold female voice rang from the Holy Sword in his hand: "Round Table resolution passed. Thirteen bindings liberated."

As those words ended, the Star Holy Sword, forged to defeat the Planetary Enemy, began radiating blinding light.

Yet at this moment, Arthur stared at the young man in the sky, his hand still motionless.

Though the resolution to save the world had passed, the cost was the destruction of another world.

Moreover, was that celestial dragon above truly the so-called Planetary Enemy?

Arthur had a clear answer inside: no.

Honesty was a knight's virtue; he could not lie about this.

Besides, since the battle began, this perfect King of Knights had been tormented within.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Ang smiled: "You may not be able to defeat me."

With his voice, a blinding golden light shot from his right palm straight into the cosmos.

The golden radiance, pulsing with terrifying energy, stretched like a great sword across heaven and earth.

Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, one hundred percent power output!

Without hesitation, Li Ang slashed downward with this light.

Seeing this, Arthur gripped his Holy Sword: "You are right, Your Grace."

"Forgive me."

He drew a deep breath, then roared:

"Excalibur!"

A vast stream of starlight surged from the sea toward the sky, golden light swallowing all.

Above, the celestial sword capable of splitting heaven and earth; below, the Star Holy Sword forged to shatter the Planetary Enemy.

Two energies, fundamentally different yet externally nearly identical, collided instantly.

The energy clashed in silence; the world became dead still.

The golden light rising from the sea split in two, streaming violently to either side of Li Ang.

The wind tumbled Li Ang's hair, but he watched the scene before him with calm eyes, continuing to channel energy.

After the silence came a deafening roar.

As energy leaked away, the refilled seawater boiled once more; the two strongest forces now held each other in stalemate.

But neither Li Ang nor Arthur possessed infinite energy.

As one side gradually faded, the other slowly gained the upper hand.

Then

Swish—

The golden light above the sky fully descended, splitting the Pacific Ocean from its center to the coastline in an instant.

Countless security personnel on a certain nation's beach stared at this scene—reminiscent of Moses parting the sea—and swallowed hard.

"God."

These devout Christians fell to their knees and began to pray; this sight had utterly surpassed their imagination.

Undoubtedly, this was a miracle.
