"So realizing he cannot protect Chastiefol made him rember?"
Hundreds of ters above the village, Kaito watched the current scene and could not help but murmur with interest.
It seed that the current situation worked as shock therapy for King.
King's trauma is easy to understand, he and his friend trusted humans, humans betrayed them, kidnapping and selling a group of fairies, they fought against them and in the end his friend died, while King, perhaps due to his injuries or perhaps due to the trauma, ended up losing his mory.
Since in the original story he recovered his mories once his friend appeared again, Kaito was not surprised that this helped him awaken.
"Although it was not really his friend, but soone being controlled by a Holy Knight, although in reality the Holy Knight was also being controlled by a demon. And demons do not act for no reason, but follow the orders of the Demon King." Thinking about King's story, Kaito could not help but sigh.
'Poor King, he basically encountered the final enemy of the series from the very beginning, of course he had no way of winning... or sothing like that, I do not rember every detail' King's friend returned too many tis to rember the plot of each one.
"Diane has no way of winning now, it is best if I go down."
On the ground, Diane watched King's sudden transformation with surprise, it was not a transformation in the literal sense, but Diane could feel that King was much stronger than before.
"True Spirit Spear Chastiefol - first form: Chastiefol."
King, now with all his mories, regained the calm and confidence that ca with his true identity as the Fairy King of this generation.
He raised his hand to the sky while summoning the true form of the sacred spear Chastiefol.
It, previously a spear no more than two ters long, almost entirely gray with golden touches, now had an exquisite completely golden form with elegant designs, with a shape and edge so fine that it almost entered the second dinsion and a size that made it seem like a weapon ant for the giant clan.
With the sa slight flick of his wrist he had used so many tis before, the true first form of Chastiefol shot toward Diane at high speed.
Sensing the danger, she quickly grabbed her hamr and, using the enhancent it provided, used Rising teor to build a massive wall of earth in front of her several dozen ters wide.
CRASHHH!
However, the spear pierced the wall as if it were paper, scattering its pieces everywhere and instantly destroying several nearby houses due to the force of the impact.
"Damn it!" Diane simply complained, prepared for death from the mont the battle began.
But while Diane accepted her death and King smiled with confidence, the spear suddenly turned around and moved several tis faster toward King, as if soone had spun it at incredible speed and thrown it back even harder.
"What?!" King reacted in shock for a second, but it was only that, a second. The next instant, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he raised his hand, stopping the spear between his index and middle fingers.
"Did you really think my spear would hurt ?"
"No."
King quickly turned upon hearing the voice beside him, but even he did not react fast enough to avoid the blow to his back, sending him dozens of ters forward, making him crash into the ground and bounce several tis like a stone thrown across the ocean.
Now on the ground and with his spear far away, King saw Kaito slowly approaching him, as if he did not even consider him a threat.
"You recovered your mories, you are welco" Kaito smiled as if it were all thanks to him. "As paynt, I will take your spear, just as I said before."
"You think that..."
Crashhh!
Before he could finish speaking, Kaito grabbed him by the neck and threw him in the opposite direction, then appeared right in front of where he landed several hundred ters away.
At the place where they had been a second ago, the golden spear struck with force, creating a crater dozens of ters wide.
"Listen, I have several ways to stop your spear, but this is the most fun one. Believe , if I do not want it to, your spear will never touch , I can kill you thousands of tis before you even move your hand" Kaito said, crouching in front of him. "But I am not going to do that, do you know why?"
King, still on the ground, spat a mouthful of blood and mocked him. "Ha, you want to believe you are not my enemy? The one who wants to steal the Fairy King's treasure?"
"It is for a greater good" Kaito shrugged.
"Sure it is" King replied, not believing him or not really caring.
"Anyway, I am leaving." Kaito ignored his words and walked toward the golden spear.
Seeing this, King forced himself up and shouted.
"Wait! Who are you?! Why do you want my spear? I... I can help you! No one controls Chastiefol better than the Fairy King!"
At his last words, Kaito stopped, not having really thought about it before.
'System, can I...?'
[As long as positive feelings reach 60 it can be summoned, they do not have to be romantic.]
"How willing are you?"
"I..." King hesitated for a second, he had only said that due to adrenaline and had not thought it through. However, facing an unstoppable force, King could not fight, besides... "You said before that it is for a greater good. What does that an? If it really is, I can help you, but if it is just for selfish reasons, then I will fight to the death to prevent you from taking Chastiefol."
Before Kaito could speak, the ground shook and a giant girl landed beside him, having reached the place by jumping from the distance since they had moved far from the village.
"I will explain" she said excitedly.
After that, Diane spent half an hour explaining Kaito's origin while King simply nodded in surprise, having no idea whether to believe it or not, while Kaito watched the situation with so doubts.
"Is... is that true?" King asked, looking at Kaito. "It is not that I do not believe you, but... another world, the destruction of all universes, Lords, it sounds unreal."
"You do not need to believe" Kaito replied. "After all, once I summon you there, you will know if it is true."
"...Right" King nodded. "Then that is it, you will just summon there once you leave?"
"No. I need you to have faith in . I cannot summon just anyone, you need to be my subordinate" Kaito lied, as it seed like the easiest non romantic way to increase his impression of him.
King looked at him for a long ti without speaking, hesitating. For a mont he thought everything was false, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Not only because soone who could kill him with a single move like Kaito had no reason to lie, but also because if it were a lie then he basically had nothing to lose.
According to what he had been told, to summon him he only needed to believe in him, nothing more, and Kaito could only summon him once he left. In other words, from his perspective, Kaito was letting him go with the spear he had fought so much for without asking him to do anything.
Not only did it not seem like a lie, but even if it was, he would still co out ahead.
After a while of silence where none of the three spoke, King made his decision, his gaze beca more resolute and he knelt on one knee.
"I do not know if what you are saying is true, but I know that if it is, then I cannot stand by and do nothing.
If such a threat exists, I, Harlequin, King of the Fairies, swear my loyalty to Kaito, the Demon King, Lucifer."
'Does that work?' Kaito asked the system.
[Confird. Affection: 75% - Loyalty/Necessity.]
With the system's confirmation, Kaito smiled in satisfaction and ordered King to stand.
"Good, get up, I accept your oath. The mont I return to my world, I will summon you."
'More or less. Not exactly' he added in his mind, thinking about how he did not have enough summoning cards.
"Thank you very much" King nodded imdiately. "In that case, I will go to the Fairy Forest, I abandoned the forest for many centuries due to my mory loss. I have many things to do."
At King's ntion, Kaito rembered sothing.
"Speaking of that, are there more artifacts like Chastiefol?"
"That is impossible, Chastiefol is made from parts of the Sacred Tree, the origin of the fairies and all the magic of this world, there is no other like it" King replied.
But Kaito simply shook his head.
"I do not an that, just the pillow form, is there another like that?"
"You... want a pillow?" King asked, confused.
"Yes. Let us just say I know soone very lazy who would love it" Kaito shrugged with a smile.
At that, King's eyes lit up with excitent as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"I understand. Flying is not as comfortable as it seems, right? Always having to control magic while also controlling direction, force and everything else. In monts like that you just want to lie on sothing soft while making the effort, right?"
"She has a boyfriend, and it is ." Kaito said possessively, looking at King with killing intent far worse than when he was fighting him.
"A... ahaha, I did not have those intentions, do not worry. But yes, creating sothing like Chastiefol's pillow form is not difficult and there are more in the Fairy Forest. Why do you not co with ?" King imdiately stepped back, rembering the beating earlier and knowing that if he said anything more sothing much worse would probably await him.
