"I see, so you are able to keep up with my magic. That's not good, I could be seriously in trouble here." She pretended to be afraid, but then showed a sadistic smile and announced, "I understand you."
And then she snapped her fingers, revealing some magic circles in the air around Arthur.
Le Fay recognized them and choked.
"Onii-sama! They are binding spells!"
"Binding spells ..."
Arthur suddenly felt the spells enveloping him in their aura. The power of the binding spell was strong enough to force his body to lock in place, while Le Fay felt more and more worry enter his body.
She moved forward when Arthur cast a calm look at her.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Le Fay didn't know what he was talking about.
But then she saw that his blade had already sunk into a gap at the tip of the blade.
From above Walburga, the tip of the sword came out and unleashed a suppressed aura that it held within its blade, down on the unsuspecting Walburga, who felt the intense power washing over her body and threw her to the ground.
She lay on the ground and lost her power of binding spells for a moment.
But that moment allowed Arthur to break free from the bonds of magic, throwing him to the ground and attacking Walburga stranded.
Growling, she moved on ...
When a hand came out and grabbed Arthur's blade.
Arthur's eyes widened, turning to see a mysterious man inside a cloak.
But he could see his eyes under the cloak, and it seemed as if a shiver had enveloped his body.
"... I didn't even detect your presence until that moment when your hand caught my blade."
"L-Leader-sama! Y-You didn't have to come here! I was just going around!"
The leader showed a charismatic smile that only Walburga could see.
"Don't worry about it, Walburga. You did very well. Sometimes we can't help it if allies don't want to join us. Even if it's for a good cause."
"Hehehe, you're right ~ Well, I'm glad you came, I was sweating a bit, your abilities are no joke, and even for a normal human, your speed is amazing. Even I felt the waves of power coming off him. He's not a joke, Leader-sama.
The leader waved his hand and sent Arthur away with a blow from a good distance. The air pressure around the blow alone made Le Fay fall to the ground, and this was after she had created a series of barriers to defend herself, so the power behind his blow looked fantastically frightening in her eyes.
"Onii-sama!"
Le Fay looked up with a stunned expression, seeing Arthur being thrown away so easily by this mysterious man. Le Fay then saw Arthur stand up quickly, pointing his blade at the mysterious man.
"I don't know who you are, but I felt your waves of power coming from here. You clearly hold a power that is not a normal level of power that I have dealt with so far. What exactly are you?"
Arthur said this clearly.
His eyes focused on the face of the man he could not see.
But he could feel those cold eyes on him.
"Arthur Pendragon, it is a pleasure to officially meet you. I am surprised that you and Walburga are fighting. I thought you might like to join our side. I have offered to give you any holy sword you request. Even the so-called missing Excalibur Ruler. "
"Yes, I received that information as well. However, I do not agree to hurt innocent people. You can speak beautifully, but they are full of darkness, your words contain no emotion. But if you can hide your intentions from me, then you are quite skilled. "
"Arthur, I don't want this to end in your defeat. I want to do it the hard way."
Arthur was surprised that he spoke this way.
People usually did it the easy way, at least that's what Arthur had found out before.
But this man, whoever he was, seemed to enjoy being challenged.

"The hard way? What's the easiest way?"
"You'll find out if the hard way doesn't get my achievements. I prefer people to follow me of their own free will. Not because I force them into my control ... well, people I respect anyway. I respect your power and your family. Don't make me defeat you. "
Arthur did not move.
His breathing stopped for a few moments.
The way he looked at Arthur ...
Arthur definitely knew that there was something about this guy that was dangerous, so he quickly closed the distance and summoned a large amount of holy aura. Even Le Fay hadn't seen Arthur summon this amount of energy before, and he swung it toward the man within seconds ...
But he simply put his hand out and slapped the power to the right side, releasing a massive amount of aura that collapsed several medium-sized grassy hills, and even left a large gash inside a mountain in the distance.
Arthur and Le Fay couldn't be more surprised.
"And-He just threw it away ..."
Le Fay brought his hands to his mouth as Arthur narrowed his eyes.
"Have at it!"
Changing tactics, Arthur attacked the man repeatedly, from all the places he could. Left, right, up, down, side to side, he mixed different types of techniques that Arthur thought he would be able to make hit the opponent's body.
But that's not how it happened.
The man just used his power to deflect every sword strike he encountered.
The wave he moved was elegant.
The way he deflected the attacks on his form was beautifully executed.
Even Arthur could not see a weakness in the man's form.
When Arthur pulled back and stabbed to the side, the man merely raised two fingers, catching the blade coming at his head through the gap in the space between said fingers, and held it in place with incredible strength.
Walburga flashed a sadistic smile that caused shivers to run down Le Fay's spine.
"I told you, you should have joined us."
Arthur's eyes narrowed, trying to pull back his blade, but the man's grip was so strong that Arthur couldn't hold it back.
"Arthur, one last chance to join me. If you refuse, then I cannot be held responsible for what will happen to you."
Arthur didn't like the sound of that.
But he also had his sister to think about.
Her safety was more important than anything, and he didn't think this man would just let them go so easily.
Then he took a stance and turned to Le Fay.
"Le Fay, get out of here."
"O-Onii-sama? What do you mean? Just for my sake?"
Arthur nodded, which puzzled the Leader a little.
"Leave it to me, go and keep yourself safe."
"M-but-"
"Le Fay." He said this in a clearer voice than before, "You need to escape, it is very dangerous around here. This opponent is not common, I don't think I can beat him. That's why you need to escape now." His eyes went to the mysterious Leader who was just watching calmly, "You're not attacking me?"
"I was waiting for you and your Imouto to finish. No matter what you wish, if you try to escape, Walburga will attack you, miss. You can also be useful, I can see that you have many magical abilities, and I wonder if you know any forbidden magic that I don't? It would be interesting to see your powers.
