What excellent timing!
And Ice Rider Calyrex, who also noticed the blue light figure, instantly had its eyes sink.
Boom!
A terrifying energy explosion sounded, but it wasn't Eternatus's Dynamax Cannon!
A monstrous golden energy tide surged and erupted, directly engulfing more than half of Eternatus's body.
Under Ice Rider Calyrex's displeased gaze, Eternatus let out a cry of pain, its massive body unable to maintain balance, and it fell from the sky to the ground.
Yes, it was King of Swords Zacian's backstab, Behemoth Blade!
And Eternatus's Dynamax Cannon, due to the sudden attack of Behemoth Blade, was completely unable to aim at Ice Rider Calyrex and went astray in an unknown direction.
"Calamity!"
The golden energy tide slowly faded, and Zacian's eyes were like an icy abyss, looking down at Eternatus, who had fallen heavily onto the snow.
Finally found it.
It was being chased by me, yet it still managed to offend Ice Rider Calyrex?
A dense blue light condensed again, and the Rusted Sword in Zacian's mouth transformed into a giant blue sword of light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zacian was ready to unleash another Behemoth Blade on Eternatus!
However…
"Blizzard!"
A dazzling ice-blue beam of light shot through the air like lightning, hitting King of Swords Zacian from the side.
Zacian, caught off guard, sensed something was wrong and instantly turned to defend, but it was ultimately too late.
Boom!
An explosion sounded, and King of Swords Zacian was pushed back a good distance by the impact from the energy explosion.
"Calyrex, what is the meaning of this?"
Its eyes grew even colder, King of Swords Zacian adjusted its stance, gazing at Ice Rider Calyrex, and a cold, magnetic, feminine telepathic voice sounded.
Yes, it was Ice Rider Calyrex who had just attacked it!
"I'd like to ask you what you mean?"
Glastrier slowly walked through the air to stand in front of King of Swords Zacian, and Calyrex met King of Swords Zacian's gaze without fear, its clear, majestic voice carrying a strong sense of displeasure and indignation.
"Without my permission, you recklessly trespassed into my territory and ambushed my opponent, Zacian. I'd like to ask you properly."
"What do you mean?"
Calyrex's eyes sank, and its low telepathy carried an indelible chill.
Clearly, Calyrex was a little angry!
The cold wind howled relentlessly across a snowfield, where King of Swords Zacian and Ice Rider Calyrex stood in mid-air, confronting each other.
"Ryuga, they seem a bit off."
Feeling the tense atmosphere between the two legendaries, Marnie's eyes were a bit strange.
It seemed the relationship between these two legendaries wasn't very good?
And looking at the situation, Marnie wouldn't be surprised if they started fighting the next second, because the atmosphere was simply too tense.
"It's best if they fight."
Ryuga smiled without speaking.
If Calyrex and Zacian clashed, wouldn't that be great?
But no matter what, this current situation was already something Ryuga was happy to see.
...
And now in the air.
The cold and arrogant King of Swords Zacian's eyes flickered with cold light as it looked at Ice Rider Calyrex.
It was the Sword King!
And also the Sword Hero of the Galar region.
Being questioned like this by Calyrex, it was naturally very unhappy.
"Look closely, this is Eternatus! Calyrex, don't you know what this means?"
Zacian replied in a deep voice.
But King of Swords Zacian still didn't directly fall out with Calyrex.
Getting into a conflict with Calyrex was not what it wanted.
The most important thing now was to deal with Eternatus, this menace!
"So what?"
Calyrex's expression remained unchanged.
Although small in stature, Calyrex's aura at this moment was extremely grand, completely unyielding to Zacian.
"This is my battle! Are you provoking me by ambushing my opponent?"
Calyrex's eyes were displeased.
It was the King of legendary!
And it was in battle, and its opponent, focused on their fight, was then ambushed.
How could it bear such a humiliation?
Moreover, as a King, Calyrex naturally looked down on sneak attacks from behind.
"I have no intention of conflicting with you, nor do I intend to set foot in the Crown Tundra. It's just that Eternatus came here, and I tracked it to this point."
Zacian's voice was low.
It could see that Calyrex was truly angry.
If Eternatus hadn't come here, how could it possibly enter the Crown Tundra?
It was cold and uncomfortable here, unlike its Slumbering Weald.
It had guessed that Calyrex, who was once a King, would be difficult to get along with.
To avoid conflict with Calyrex, it had been very careful, especially since they had always kept to themselves with almost no interaction.
The relationships between legends are far from as beautiful as people imagine.
"As a former King, you should also be well aware of Eternatus's harm to this land." Zacian said in a deep voice.
Although Calyrex had not been born three thousand years ago, Calyrex must have known about Eternatus's danger.
"That has nothing to do with me. Now Eternatus is my guest, Zacian. I don't want to make things difficult for you. Retreat now, and I will not hold it against you."
Calyrex's meaning was very clear: it wanted to protect Eternatus!
Originally, it did not want to interfere in the feud between Zacian and Eternatus, but since both had arrived at Crown Tundra, it could not avoid it.
That was why it chose to battle Eternatus for a period, so it could use that to make both of them leave.
Because it had already leaned towards Eternatus, it would not let Zacian attack Eternatus here after the battle.
After all, as a benevolent King, how could it watch Zacian attack Eternatus, who had just finished a battle?
As for what happened after they left, that was none of Calyrex's concern.
But Calyrex truly did not expect that Zacian would directly take the opportunity to ambush Eternatus.
This 'improper' action undoubtedly angered this King of legends.
"Impossible."
But King of Swords Zacian refused without even thinking.
It had finally found Eternatus.
How could it easily watch Eternatus leave its sight again?
"Eternatus, this scourge, cannot be left behind. Calyrex, I will apologize to you afterwards, but not now."
The temperature in Zacian's eyes slowly dropped.
As expected, the situation had reached the point it least wanted to see.
Calyrex's 'unreasonable' behavior had also started to make it impatient.
Did Calyrex really think Zacian was afraid of it?
"Eternatus, I will absolutely not let you go today!"
What did 'Retreat now, and I will not hold it against you' mean?
Just because you are a King, you are already a King of the past.
Moreover, Zacian is the Sword King! And its younger brother is the Shield King!
Giving it some face and it really considers itself a King?
Simply unreasonable!
"Zacian, don't go too far."
Calyrex's expression turned cold.
What was this?
Was it treating Calyrex as nothing?
"Who is going too far? For the sake of this continent, you should know what to do."
Zacian's tone was icy.
It actually said it was going too far?
It was for the future safety of the entire Galar region!
And Calyrex? How many years had passed?
Your kingdom was long gone, and the era had long changed.
Now, it was still flaunting its royal prestige in front of Zacian.
Who was it trying to scare?
"Are you telling me what to do?"
The might emanating from Ice Rider Calyrex grew heavier and heavier.
Under the immense pressure, the air slowly became stifling.
"I am merely stating the facts. I didn't expect the legendary King of Bountiful Harvests, Calyrex, to only act on impulse."
Zacian released its divine power without showing any weakness, speaking calmly and coldly.
Meanwhile, Eternatus, lying on the ground, looked at the two legends, who were rapidly increasing their pressure and about to fight, with a bewildered and confused look in its dragon eyes.
What was going on?
Why weren't they fighting me, but suddenly fighting among themselves instead?
However, the next moment, Eternatus became happy.
Who cared what the situation was?
Fight, fight!
Eternatus, lying on the ground, cheered frantically in its heart.
...
"I would like to experience the power of the Sword King."
Calyrex's eyes were calm and majestic, gazing intently at King of Swords Zacian.
Acting on impulse?
Calyrex truly did not expect that one day this term would be used to describe it!
It was the King of Bountiful Harvests!
Gentle and benevolent, as a former King, it had been wholeheartedly supported by all life!
But now, Zacian actually said it only acted on impulse?
"Calyrex, do you Is really want to fight me?"
Zacian's eyes completely darkened.
Clearly, Ice Rider Calyrex was determined to oppose it.
"Glastrier!"
However, what answered it was an extremely cold and dazzling beam of light.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo~"
Glastrier raised its head high and neighed excitedly.
The already snow-covered Blizzard, with Ice Rider Calyrex at its center, saw its temperature rapidly drop.
Glacial Lance!
A massive ice-colored beam of light suddenly pierced through the air, rapidly striking towards Zacian.
Compared to the Glacial Lance beam that attacked Zacian before, this time, Ice Rider Calyrex was clearly serious about the Glacial Lance, both in terms of range and intensity.
"Then I will accompany you to the end."
Zacian's eyes gleamed with cold light.
Since Calyrex wanted to fight, it was not afraid!
Concentrated blue energy gathered, and the shining face in Zacian's mouth transformed into a great sword, directly slashing down at the incoming Glacial Lance.
Behemoth Blade!
Boom!
Behemoth Blade and Glacial Lance collided heavily, and terrifying energy exploded, with shockwaves sweeping in all directions.
Zacian was pushed back a distance by the air current.
It lowered its head and glanced, seeing that Eternatus had already gotten up again, but it did not ascend into the air, instead remaining on the ground.
Is this damn thing watching the show?
"Damn scourge!"
Zacian's aura was extremely cold.
If it weren't for chasing this parasite, how could it have fallen out with Calyrex?
To the point where they now had to decide a winner?
What a scoundrel!
And now, Eternatus was right in front of it, but it couldn't deal with it immediately, because the now enraged Calyrex would definitely attack it from behind!
Fighting Eternatus and Calyrex at the same time?
Even if it was the aloof Zacian, it wouldn't be so arrogant.
That wasn't brave and fearless.
That was lacking self-awareness!
"Hoo-hoo-hoo~"
Glastrier's agitated neighing sounded again.
Zacian collected its thoughts and saw Ice Rider Calyrex charging furiously towards it.
King of Swords Zacian slightly lowered its body.
The most important thing now was the battle with Ice Rider Calyrex.
Ice Rider Calyrex was not weaker than it.
If it stumbled, it was definitely true that Ice Rider Calyrex would not overly harm it.
But if it really lost, what face would Zacian have to stay in this Crown Tundra?
Zacian's proud self-esteem would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!
...
Meanwhile, standing on a mountaintop, Marnie gazed at King of Swords Zacian and Ice Rider Calyrex, who were beginning their fierce clash in the sky.
"They actually started fighting!"
Marnie's pretty face wore a very peculiar expression.
These two top legends actually got into a fight!
This...
It was simply too strange.
Just a short while ago, Ice Rider Calyrex had refused them, not wanting to interfere in the feud between Eternatus and Zacian, and had even challenged Eternatus.
"Although he is no longer a King, Calyrex still retains the dignity of a King. Zacian touched Calyrex's bottom line." Ryuga said slowly with a grin.
When Zacian appeared behind Eternatus and attacked, Ryuga had already anticipated this scene.
Calyrex was a true King.
Although he was a gentle and benevolent King, he was still a King.
A King's dignity and self-respect were inviolable.
Zacian's sneak attack on Eternatus undoubtedly made Calyrex extremely embarrassed.
Especially since Eternatus was Calyrex's evenly matched opponent at the time.
So from the moment Zacian made its move, in front of Calyrex, it was impossible for Zacian to attack Eternatus again.
Calyrex would absolutely not stand by and watch.
"Ryuga, if Eternatus were to team up with Calyrex right now, they should be able to defeat Zacian, right?" Marnie asked Ryuga, her clear eyes slightly flickering.
Zacian was the Sword Hero in the Galar legend, who protected the entire Galar region three thousand years ago.
When she was little, Marnie also grew up listening to the legends of the two Sword and Shield heroes.
But what of it?
Now Eternatus had been subdued by Ryuga, and Zacian was hostile to Eternatus.
So, was there any need to say which side to stand on?
"Of course they can. Zacian is very strong, but it's impossible for it to be a match for Eternatus and Ice Rider Calyrex combined."
Ryuga nodded, took out his phone, and leisurely and comfortably filmed the battle between the two legends in the sky.
This was a battle between top legendaries, and it was a battle between Zacian and Calyrex.
This was the first time in the world, and it might be the only conflict between the two.
Saving it for future reminiscing would also be very nice.
"However, Calyrex will not agree, nor will it allow Eternatus to interfere in its battle with Zacian."
Seeing Marnie's eyes light up, Ryuga glanced at Marnie and added with a chuckle.
Calyrex was proud.
If Eternatus were to fly up and attack Zacian at this moment, what would greet Eternatus, besides Zacian's counterattack, would definitely be Calyrex's dissuasive attack.
"That's truly a shame."
Upon hearing this, Marnie calmed down.
If Eternatus could join in, no matter how strong King of Swords Zacian was, it would be impossible for it to fight one against two.
Moreover, King of Swords Zacian was already evenly matched with Ice Rider Calyrex.
With Eternatus's power, teamed up with Ice Rider Calyrex, Zacian was bound to lose.
It could even seriously injure Zacian and make it flee!
This way, at least for a short time, there would be no need to worry about Zacian's pursuit.
"There aren't that many things that go as smoothly as one wishes in life, and the current outcome is already very perfect."
Ryuga, on the other hand, didn't have so many emotions, and the smile on his lips remained.
He was quite satisfied.
On this trip to Crown Tundra, Eternatus absorbed a large amount of energy, and it was not entangled by Zacian.
And in the sky at this moment, the fierce battle continued.
Ice Rider Calyrex was different from Eternatus.
It was not completely counteracted by Zacian, and it fought very aggressively.
However, Zacian's movement speed was very fast and its body was agile.
In comparison, the massive Eternatus was like a clumsy Silly.
But that was precisely the case.
For Eternatus, which was over twenty meters tall, it was impossible to take the flexible, fast-attack route like Zacian.
Eternatus specialized in defeating opponents head-on by relying on its immense power.
