Light of The King (2)

Baaangggg——!!

"Hah.., hah..."

I look at the effects of the explosion caused by Excalibur's energy sword while gasping for breath. Both of my hands are trembling violently. My body is sweating profusely, with sweat dripping everywhere. I also feel my muscles and nerves tensing up.

....It seems I overdid it.

My gaze shifts to the aftermath of the mana explosion from Excalibur. Everything in the path of the sword has vanished, and in the distance, a mountain has been split in two.

....Yeah, this is serious. I really overdid it.

I didn't expect Excalibur to have such insane destructive power. I had predicted it to some extent, but I didn't expect it to be capable of splitting a mountain in two like this.

The effects of Excalibur's mana energy are still lingering around me. Dense mana is scattered everywhere, and the pressure here is truly terrifying.

As for Trevor himself—

I'm sure he's dead—no, should I say he's been annihilated, vanished into nothingness rather than just dying? There's not a single trace left in the path of the sword. It's impossible for anything to remain of Trevor's body.

Then, I glance somewhere not far from where I'm standing. Our poor protagonist, Kevin, is still unconscious. Fortunately, he wasn't in the path of Excalibur's energy, or else he would have been annihilated, and a bad ending would have occurred.

I approach him and crouch down to get a clearer look at his condition. I can feel him breathing steadily, and the wounds he sustained from Trevor's insane attacks are slowly healing. As expected of the protagonist, his regenerative abilities are truly terrifying.

I let out a sigh of relief since Kevin is no longer in danger, and then I check my own condition.

A little dirty, but it's fine. The armor has also disappeared along with Excalibur.

Then, I pick up the King Arthur card I used earlier.

This card... so...

I understand the mechanism now.

It's similar to the Kamen Rider mechanism on Earth.

As I'm about to store the card in my pants pocket, the sound of chains appears.

And before I can even realize it, both my hands and feet are bound by chains floating in the air—no, it looks more like chains emerging from the void of this world.

What the hell is this...?

Trinnnggg—!!

The bell sound echoes in my head again, and a red notification appears.

[The world has confirmed an anomaly!] 

[The world senses potential chaos.] 

[To prevent chaos, causality has intervened!] 

[Causality has decided on punishment!] 

[Initiating restraint immediately!]

...Huh, what?

BZZZT—!!

"Aaaarghh!"

High-voltage electricity surges from the chains binding me, electrocuting me and rendering me unable to resist. The shock leaves me weak, as if my body no longer has any strength or energy left, and I slowly collapse to the ground.

Just before I lose consciousness—

Trinnnggg—!!

The bell sound echoes in my head again, and another red notification appears.

[Restraint successful!] 

[Punishment has been applied!] 

[Causality has decided to restrict you!] 

[Your abilities have now been limited to a certain extent!]

....You've got to be kidding me...

....Damn this world.

I fall unconscious while cursing this damn world.
