The sacred right side of a certain manga Chapter 080

Roy gestured for the driver to continue driving.

“My friend, come! Let us fight to our heart’s content! You must have been waiting for me here, eagerly anticipating our battle!”

The King of Swords shouted excitedly.

“Lord Salvatore, this is downtown Rome. Please retract your previous statement; it is extremely dangerous.”

It wasn’t Roy who spoke these words, but the Great Knight accompanying Salvatore. This knight, around thirty years old, had a stern expression and reprimanded the King of Swords in an almost accusatory tone.

Salvatore wasn’t angered by this; instead, he responded with a familiar air, “…Ah, yes, I know, I know. Andrea, you’re truly troublesome.”

Salvatore Doni was the sixth Campione to achieve his feat two years before Roy’s deicide. Before becoming a Campione, he was already very famous throughout Italy, not for his strength, but rather for his weakness.

He was a pure sword fanatic, born for the sword, one might say. However, while possessing sword talent that nearly drove others to despair, he had no magical talent whatsoever.

Although the strong individuals in the Campione world were called Great Knights, they primarily focused on magic with swordsmanship as a secondary skill. What truly empowered humans was magic, not swordsmanship. One can imagine how weak Salvatore Doni was without magical talent, and how much he was ridiculed for it.

This man, with unimaginable perseverance, once sought out Italy’s only Holy Knight, ‘Saint Raphael,’ and studied under her. Yet, without any magical talent, he made no progress.

After leaving Saint Raphael’s tutelage, Salvatore continued to wander. Later, by a strange twist of fate, he became possessed by a god, and thus, using the god’s power, he slew another god, becoming a Campione.

One could say that among the current seven Campiones, apart from Roy, who successfully slew a god through his wisdom, Aiwass’s power, and a bit of luck, the other six Campiones succeeded due to ‘fortune.’

“I wasn’t waiting for you here; you came looking for me yourself.”

Roy retorted to Salvatore.

“My friend, don’t be so distant! I just ran out on a whim and then I met you. See, isn’t this our destiny!”

This man seemed to have no understanding of reading people’s expressions. He sat down beside Roy with a carefree attitude, directly putting his arm around Roy’s shoulder, causing Roy to subtly lean towards the left side of the car seat.

“Why do you want to fight me? Could it be because I took your title as Italy’s盟主 (leader of the alliance)?”

“Ahaha, I don’t care about that at all, my friend! You can have it if you want! Although Andrea once told me that it would make me lose face as a ‘King,’ what does that matter? I’ve been losing face for many years, so I don’t care about such things at all. I only heard that you defeated that old man in Eastern Europe, which excited me enough to come challenge you. That old man is very powerful; I fought him to a draw.”

Salvatore said cheerfully. Three years ago, Marquis Voban had summoned a Disobedient God, and that Disobedient God was snatched by the King of Swords, leading to a feud between the two Campiones.

The King of Swords’ voice was utterly pure; his words were absolutely not false, but his true thoughts and feelings.

Roy admired him for this. Putting himself in Salvatore’s shoes, if he were in Salvatore’s position and knew a new King had taken something of his, he would surely erupt in rage, unleashing boundless disaster to make the betrayer and plunderer pay the price.

But Salvatore could simply laugh it off, truly not caring about face at all, living solely for the sword.

It wasn’t that Roy was petty, nor that Salvatore was magnanimous; it was simply that their ways of living were different.

Though this King of Swords from Italy annoyed Roy, he would never make him feel disgusted.

“I have things to do right now; I don’t have time to fight you.”

Roy continued to refuse, while also giving a look to the knight Salvatore brought, signaling him to drag his ‘King’ away. This knight, named Andrea Rivera, was Salvatore’s absolute confidant, known as the ‘King’s Butler.’ It could be said that Andrea’s efforts were instrumental in allowing Salvatore, with his personality, to live normally in the human world.

“Important matters? I heard from Italy that you seem to be looking for Divine Tools to find a Disobedient God. Sure enough, you also like fighting Disobedient Gods, huh? No problem, I can wait for you to finish your fight, and then we’ll have our own match.”

Salvatore completely ignored the explanation, acting entirely on his own whims.

Roy found him truly annoying. After thinking for a moment, he said, “…Lord Salvatore, do you know why human history spans thousands of years, and myths have been passed down for thousands of years, yet the oldest Campione today is less than three hundred years old? Where did all the previous Campiones go?”

“Huh?”

Salvatore was stunned for a moment before saying, “…You’re right, where did all the previous Campiones go?”

He asked blankly.

“Among the Disobedient Gods, there is an existence called the ‘Last King.’ He is the hero who annihilates Devil Kings. Whenever the number of Campiones reaches a certain level, he will awaken and eliminate all Campiones. And now, the number of Campiones has been reached; she will awaken very soon.”

Roy’s tone was very serious, expressing his concern about the Last King.

Before Salvatore could speak, his knight, Andrea, sat up straight and said, “…King Roy, I have never heard the name ‘Last King.’ Could this be a revelation brought to you by ‘Solomon’s Wisdom’?”

After Roy killed Solomon, whether it was the Sage Council or any other organization, they all believed that the Authority Roy gained was ‘Clairvoyance,’ which is the Authority to see through the past. No one knew about the existence of the ‘Humanity Correction Formula.’

However, this Authority also caused a sensation among countless scholars and magicians, because being able to freely read information from the past meant that endless knowledge and secrets could be browsed at will. Although it had no direct combat power, it could allow Roy to always seize the initiative.

“Ah, yes, that’s right. This is a product of ‘Solomon’s Wisdom.’ According to the revelation, I roughly know that the ‘Last King’ is sleeping on an island in the Pacific. Lord Salvatore, I truly don’t have time to fight you right now. If you really want a worthy opponent, then go to the Pacific and seek out the ‘Last King.’ As the hero who annihilates Devil Kings, his strength is the strongest of all time; he will surely satisfy you.”

Roy was afraid that Salvatore possessed abilities like intuition, so he didn’t lie at all, to prevent Salvatore from seeing through his deception. What Roy said was all true, but there was a hidden meaning in his words. The ‘Last King’ was indeed sleeping on an island in the Pacific; Japan is also a Pacific island, just a bit larger.

However, this information could easily mislead others. It was likely that Salvatore would then go searching for uninhabited islands throughout the vast Pacific.

Indeed, upon hearing Roy’s news, Salvatore’s expression brightened. The King of Swords was decisive and immediately opened the car door, telling Andrea, “…Andrea, quickly, let’s go to the Pacific! We can’t let anyone else get to such a powerful opponent first.”

At the same time, he turned his head to Roy and said, “…Thank you so much for the information, my friend! We truly are good friends. Once I’ve dealt with that ‘Last King,’ I’ll come back to fight you!”

“Alright, then I’ll give you one last piece of information. Six years ago, the ‘Black Prince’ Alexander Gascoigne from England once sought the Holy Grail, causing a huge sensation in the mysterious world. From what I understand, the Holy Grail is related to the Last King. If you can’t find the ‘Last King’s’ resting place in the Pacific, you can go to Alexander Gascoigne; he must have a lot of information about the Last King.”

Roy directly initiated a scheme to divert trouble. It was absolutely impossible for Salvatore to find the ‘Last King’s’ resting place. After this, he would most likely go to the ‘Black Prince.’ The two Campiones most likely to cause Roy trouble were forcibly brought together into an ‘adversarial’ relationship by him.

The Patriarch of the East had always lived in seclusion, the American Campione belonged to the rare ‘good alignment’ who didn’t like to stir up trouble, and Marquis Voban had been temporarily defeated by him. Thus, Roy had created a very favorable environment for himself to continue his quiet development.

“There’s also that troublemaker, Lady Aisha. I hope the ‘Queen of the Demon Cave’ continues to wander and travel through time and space.”

Roy murmured, by which time Salvatore had already jumped out of the car with Andrea and run off.

“Excellent, now no one can disturb my ‘date’ with the goddess!”
