The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 657: The Most Powerful Silver Annihilation Magic

The energy continued to grow, forming into a massive sphere. Correspondingly, Asmodeus's form began reverting back to its original host, Crown Prince Lucian. Or perhaps, it's more accurate to say it was regressing back to his weaker form.

"Is he converting everything he absorbed through his authority into this last attack...?"

"So, he plans to just absorb more if he releases this...?"

"Even so... if he releases that attack onto the earth's surface..."

Leo stated as he connected the magical power of the imperial sword not only between me and Elna but also to himself.

This wasn't like the previous distribution like before as it wasn't about gradual recovery but keeping us constantly at full capacity. This state isn’t something that could last for long as eventually it would lead to an oversupply.

To prevent that, we needed to continuously release energy but we couldn't exceed our own limits of discharge. The power that I could unleash hadn't changed since the outlet was fixed. Normally, this state was only permissible to the imperial sword's owner. For an ordinary person, the constant supply of magical power would cause their body to collapse. It was feasible only because Elna and I were exceptions to this rule.

If an ordinary person could hold a cup's worth of mana, Elna and I had the capacity of an entire house. Yet, if the near-infinite supply from the imperial sword continued, it would eventually harm the body. Even so, we had to use this method because we couldn't let that attack fall to the earth's surface.

"The destruction of this continent might be a pity, but... at least half of it will remain. If half remains, that's sufficient enough for me."

"How presumptuous...!" Elna said as she prepared to attack.

Asmodeus wasn't exaggerating. If such an attack hit the earth's surface, likely half of the continent would sink into the sea. Such was the scale of the attack. Asmodeus was not only using the power he had absorbed but also all the energy he had stored up. The ever-growing sphere showed no sign of stopping, likely because Asmodeus continued to use his authority to gather more power. If we let this continue building up any longer, it would become unstoppable. Our only choice was to stake everything on a single attack. (TL: Is Asmodeus using a spirit ball attack?)

"Being forced onto the opponent's playing field is a bit irritating..."

"Yet, if we can win here, we can win the battle."

"Exactly. If a battle of strength is what you desire, then we'll gladly accept the challenge!"

If we made a move, Asmodeus would mercilessly release it. No half-hearted attack would get through. Everything would be swallowed and waiting would only allow the sphere to grow larger.

As soon as possible, we needed a force capable of countering it. The only option was a simultaneous attack that was infused with our maximum power from all three of us.

"We'll counter that sphere with a strike powerful enough to engulf it!"

"Easier said than done...! Unlike you, I only have this sword of my own."

"Stop using a sword that you're not accustomed to. If you haven't noticed already, I'll tell you: it doesn't suit you. That sword."

"She sure doesn't hold back...!"

"Since you're a sorcerer, act like one. Surely you have a trump card?"

"Technically, this sword is my trump card..."

However,

The Silvery End Saber is a sword focused on my silver attributes while loaded with as much silver attribute magic power as it can hold. As I unleashed that concentration, a small sphere appeared in my left hand.

Simultaneously, I concentrated all my magic power into my right hand to create a similar sphere. Then, I combined the two, creating a sun-like brilliance that overflowed from my hands. After an unbearable amount of light, it finally transformed into a pure-white silver sphere. Normally, the Silvery End Saber is established by concentrating silver attributes that were scattered across the battlefield back into the sword. Adding the remaining magic power I had to that concentration would only have a limited effect. But now, since the imperial sword replenished my magical power, whether it would burst or not was uncertain. This silver sphere was teetering on a dangerous edge. If I am not being careful, it could explode right here.

But this precariousness was necessary.

Elna and Leo were also enhancing their powers while pushing themselves to their limits.

Stronger, higher, all in order to surpass Asmodeus's power.

For the sake of protecting what's important.

In order to reach our limit, and then exceed it some more. (TL: Goofy ah DBZ lines)

"Not... Yet...!!!"

Leo and Elna were drawing out even more power from the imperial and holy swords, while I was concentrating on the silver attribute magical power that was scattered across the battlefield once again. This was my first time handling such a massive chunk of magical power.

Naturally, cold sweat was pouring out from all over my body. But, being able to handle power wasn't enough. Safety wasn't needed now since If we're defeated here, half of the continent would sink into the sea.

It was a choice between two options: surpass our limits here or lose half of the continent. If we can't surpass Asmodeus, we lose and the remaining half of the continent would only be trampled by Asmodeus. As he possesses the authority of absorption, given enough time, he could regain his power after that strike and humanity would have no means to oppose him.

Our fate as humans was entrusted to us and we couldn't expect any more assistance from others. Even if assistance was possible, it wouldn't truly be helpful. The battle had escalated to a higher dimension. Just like five hundred years ago during the battle between the hero and the demon king, no one else could intervene. Now, only we three could participate in this battle.

"Are you ready...?"

I asked the two beside me after gathering all the silvery attributes I could. And in response,

"I guess it's about time..."

"Finally? You should be thankful I waited for you..."

"If you're going to talk big... Let's see what the holy sword is truly capable of?"

"Same to you... Show me the strike of the greatest sorcerer on the continent...!"

There wasn't much room for conversation since we were forcing out our words. All three of us were at our limit already while barely managing to control the overwhelming power within us.

But was it enough?

Yet, we had already accumulated enough magic power to be considered a threat by Asmodeus since he had already begun to prepare for our attack.

"This is the final showdown... of humans versus demons."

"Humanity will win."

"So... let's go."

I began my chant slowly.

"I am the one who knows the truth of silver; I am chosen by the divine silver."

"The silver light illuminates many, and the silver stars guide multitudes."

"The light of silver is for the heavens, and the shade of silver is for the people."

"Life is a gift from white silver, and blood is a crystal of black silver."

"To that silver, the gods grant their blessings and to that silver, humans yearn."

"Let the radiant celestial silver shine, and become the divine silver that even engulfs darkness."

"Silver light, reside in my hands, to annihilate the immortals—"

This is the most powerful silver annihilation magic that I could do which consists of a chant of fourteen verses. It was the last magic left behind by the developer of silver annihilation magic. The only magic that I couldn't fully activate due to having insufficient magical power. But now it is a thing of the past.

A vast magical power resided within the silver sphere between my hands, shining even more brightly than usual.

I then crushed the silver sphere with both hands.

"Silvery Glint Ray."

Elna swung her sword simultaneously.

"Shine, divine light... Aurora Polaris!!"

The last to swing his sword was Leo. There was only one technique that he could use with the imperial sword. A technique that was known to all imperial family members because they are taught about it.

As a child, when the empire was faced with a crisis, the emperor would use that sword and technique. Since it was narrated as a story, almost every imperial family member would listen eagerly while dreaming of becoming the emperor who could use it someday.

The name of that technique is.

"Schwarz Adler...!!!"
