Translator note:
We are finally caught up to the raws! Thanks to everyone who has read along so far. I will be posting as new chapters are released by the author. I also might pick up a new series, we’ll see.

Arthur: “Hey, Knight of God?”
I realized I was grabbed by the shoulder when I noticed.
A lapse in attention.
I immediately turned around, drawing and swinging my sword.
Arthur, feigning surprise, let go of my body and activated True Lightning.
If he had touched me, we would have teleported together.
Arthur: “Hohoho! So that’s the famous lightning-like teleportation! I see, I see!”
He looked interested in my power, his eyes sparkling.
Arthur had the pure gaze of a child who found a toy.
Arthur: “But, being able to go anywhere is an incredible power. I remember when I saw it before, you could only teleport to shadows, right?”
Kai: “!? What do you mean?”
His tone suggested he knew about this power.
But I had never shown it to him before.
No, that’s not right. It wasn’t me.
Arthur: “However, he was strong. He would be in the top three of the men I’ve killed. His name was…”
I remembered.
The memories of that person I inherited, albeit vague.
Surrounded by the Black knights, and defeated by an exceptionally strong man.
Kai: “Lightning!!”
Arthur: “Yes, that’s it!”
I activated Lightning behind Arthur’s shadow and teleported, swinging my sword.
But he stopped it.
I opened my eyes wide in surprise.
My swung sword was stopped by Arthur as if pinching it with his fingers.
I immediately kicked, but he caught it with his other hand.
Then, twisting my body, I kicked his face with my other leg, but he easily dodged.
However, I managed to create some distance.
Arthur: “Quite combative, aren’t you? Can’t you enjoy a little conversation?”
Kai: โHaโฆHaโฆ.Haโฆโ
It was just a short exchange.
But what I felt was his overwhelming skill.
Of course, because this guy was.
Kai: “You’re the one who killed Lightning?”
Arthur: “Yes, that’s right. But I was caught in the barrier he created! Hahaha! He was a truly great warrior. I would have liked to fight him one-on-one. He was already worn out though…”
My master, no, Lancelot’s master, whom I inherited everything from, was defeated by this man.
Lancelot’s memories inside me were shaking with anger, but at the same time, all the alarms in me were ringing.
Run.
This guy is on a different level than anyone I’ve faced before.
Arthur: “Yo!”
Kai: “Why…”
As I broke into a cold sweat, Arthur, the Knightโs Commander of the Round Table, casually sat down.
Arthur: “Well, have a seat. Let’s talk a bit. You know by now, you can’t beat me.”
Kai: “That’s not something you know until you try.”
Arthur: “Hmm… then try.”
He was completely underestimating me.
But indeed, his magic power was 6 million, an impossibly high number.
Six times mine.
I couldn’t win against him without inheriting the S-Rank Cube’s magic power.
But.
Kai: “Victory isn’t decided by numbers alone!”
I knew that best.
I’ve turned around such differences many times.
I activated True Lightning and teleported around the seated Arthur at the speed of light, not giving him a chance to focus.
Arthur: “Hahaha! Fast, fast! Equivalent to light. Even I can’t move faster than light. In a race, you would win!”
Arthur was relaxed, not even trying to stand.
He was off guard.
Now was my chance.
I teleported to his blind spot and then.
Kai: “!?”
I was about to strike.
But almost simultaneously, Arthur, laughing, looked right where I was in his blind spot. How? Did he predict me? The speed of light? How.
I was momentarily frozen.
Then Arthur, with a grin, spoke without retaliating.
Arthur: “Excellent power. But it has a flaw. Your vision, right? A little observation makes it clear. Before you move, your eyes look to where you’re going. No matter how fast you can move, if you have to think to teleport, it’s far from the speed of light. Easy to catch.”
Kai: “Damn! True Mirage!!”
Arthur: “Oh!? They multiplied!? What’s this?”
I created a clone, two against one.
Arthur was excited.
But the moment my clone struck.
Boom!!
It was like a meteor strike that blew up the mansion.
The impact was from my clone being grabbed by the head and slammed into the ground by Arthur.
As the dust settled, my clone’s head was crushed by Arthur’s hand and vanished like a mirage.
Arthur: “Hmm, creating illusions. Hard to distinguish by appearance, but the movements are monotonous. I can’t feel any will in them. Moreover, it didn’t even try to activate a skill. Just a distracting puppet.”
I stepped back.
Strong.
Not about magic power.
Maybe combat experience, an overwhelming difference in practical experience. Even without the Eye of God, he instantly saw through the mechanism of my skills.
This is the strongest enemy I must defeat in the Black Empire.
The Knightโs Commander of the Round Table, Arthur Pendragon.
I’m still not ready…
Arthur: “Alright, let’s sit down.”
Kai: “No, not yet!”
Arthur: (sighs)
Boom!!!!!!
Immediately after, the mansion exploded, and I was blown away as well.
Just from him hitting the ground.
The impact wiped out everything around.
After the dust settled, Arthur looked at me, sighed deeply, and said quietly.
Arthur: “I told you to sit. There won’t be a next time.”
Kai: “โโ!?”
With the pressure as if my heart was being gripped.

Afterword:
The problem with Arthur being too strong.
