You're Fated to Have Your Head Split Open

Seemingly encouraged, or perhaps under the watchful eye of the Child of God, Rovey cut his hand, flicking out a large amount of blood as a medium, which further enhanced the power of the two angels. In an instant, two powerful sources of magic reappeared in the Great Temple of Radiance.

"Awoooooo!!!"

The Sphinx looked terrified. They suddenly realized that the human before them seemed different from the previous intruders, but it was too late.

Gabriel and Raphael unleashed their water and wind in an instant, subduing the Sphinx before they even realized what was happening. Then, Rovey swiftly conjured a silver-white lightsaber, severing the heads of the Sphinx. His staff then burst forth with light, dispelling them.

What followed was the simplest form of slaughter.

With the blessing of Rovey and the Sanctuary, the two archangels also possessed incredibly powerful strength. They were now fighting directly in three different directions with Rovey. The three figures were actually hunting down these Sphinx, each of which was no less powerful than an ordinary Servant, as if they were nothing. Soon, the entire palace was filled with howls of agony. The brutal slaughter made these Sphinx question their very existence.

Clang!!

A terrified Sphinx tried to escape, but Rovey had already jumped onto its head and swung his silver-white staff heavily. A blinding light flashed before his eyes, and terrifying magic gathered at the tip, then slammed into its head like a heavy hammer. In an instant, another pile of flesh appeared in the temple.

This was the last one on his side, and the remaining Sphinx were also frightened and fled in all directions with the help of the two angels. However, due to their excessive efforts, Gabriel and Raphael, who had exhausted their medium, quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only corpses and flesh on the ground.

At this moment, only the last and strongest Sand Sphinx remained.

"As expected, it's different from the others. It's not a real physical body, but rather a unique existence constructed from magic and concepts..."

Looking at the Sand Sphinx, who had been attacked by two angels but had not suffered any injuries and had even exhausted them to death, Rovey couldn't help but speak up.

"No, that's right! Pharaoh's Sand Sphinx is no ordinary being; it's not just a simple physical body! Your attack just now couldn't possibly..."

Hiding behind a pillar, Nitocris, nearly paralyzed with fear, stammered. But just as she was about to say that it was impossible for Rovey to defeat the final Sand Sphinx, the next scene stunned her.

"Then why don't you give this a try?!"

With a leap, Rovey dodged the super destructive ray with a radius of twenty meters launched by the Sand Sphinx. His nimble movements were unlike those of a Caster. Moreover, he began to move at near-sonic speed within the Great Temple of Radiance. After only a few dodges, he was directly in front of the Sand Sphinx. This time, the silver staff no longer formed a heavy hammer, but a dazzling spear that shimmered with silver light.

--brush!!

The silver spear was brandished, its silvery tip piercing directly into the body of the Sand Sphinx in the next moment. The Sand Sphinx's terrifying defense was easily breached as if it were a sheet of paper.

"No, it's no use, you can't..."

Nitocris was about to say that such damage couldn't possibly affect the Sand Sphinx, but Rovey had already finished chanting his spell.

"——The Spear of Destiny that cannot be defied."

"The Spear of Destiny."

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

"Awooooooo—Awooooooo!!!"

As if it were being eroded by something, or rather, it suffered some kind of irreversible damage, the Sand Sphinx in front of us let out a painful howl, and its body began to tremble wildly at that moment. Even its galactic shell, which was originally full of strange beauty, gradually dimmed at this moment, like the night sky being eroded. Finally, with Rovey's powerful thrust, its entire body cracked open like a sculpture, and slid down to the ground in large pieces.

"That's... blood?"

At this moment, Rameses II noticed the scarlet liquid stained with Rovey's cane.

There was a very special kind of magic in that blood, and it was this blood that hurt his Sand Sphinx.

That's right, it's Rovey's blood, the blood of the Child of God.

The true Lance of Longinus resides in Percival's body. He uses the supreme religious Magecraft, the "Spear of Destiny Inviolable Fate," which uses the Blood of the Son as a medium to simulate the spear that pierced Jesus' heart.

A single spear strike capable of killing even God Child surpasses Scáthach's Death Thorn Spear in power. How could a mere Sand Sphinx possibly withstand it?!

--Bang!!

With the sudden thrust of the Spear of Destiny, the core of the Sand Sphinx was pierced through, and a star-like liquid flowed from the huge hole. Then, with a roar of unwillingness, its entire body turned to ashes.

In just a few exchanges, the immortality that had rendered the Knights of the Round Table helpless was completely shattered.

Clang!

Rovey put away his cane and slammed it heavily on the ground of the Great Temple of Radiance.

The next moment, a piercing sound suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.

At that moment, regardless of Rameses II's unpredictable mood, Nitocris was completely stunned; she felt as if her worldview had been violently shaken.

This young man, who used his position to infiltrate the Grand Temple, actually wiped out the entire army of divine beasts, which was comparable to Servant army, in just ten minutes, right in front of him and the Sun King. Is this something a human could do?

But Rameses II was even more delighted than this.

Seeing Rovey's performance, he was more concerned about whether this guy was actually alive. After all, his own Reality Marble was this Great Temple of Radiance, where all Servant were unable to use their Noble Phantasm, let alone unleash them.

In other words...

This one truly relied on his own strength, without relying on any external force, to destroy all the Sphinx and his pet Sand Sphinx.

Moses' successor? Let's just assume he's qualified.

And...

Rameses II gazed into Rovey's eyes, pondering the cause and effect. Through those eyes, he saw a noble soul he had never seen before.

She is so beautiful and noble; I have never seen such a beautiful soul before.

No, he had seen it.

He had witnessed the beauty of Nefertari's soul and the nobility of Moses' soul.

However, the soul of the man before him, Rovey, seemed to have fused the characteristics of their souls together, making him feel beautiful and noble, which made him feel somewhat dazed for a moment.

And then there was his captivating figure as he slaughtered the Sphinx and the Sand Sphinx. Rameses II couldn't help but think of his past self and the time he fought alongside Moses.

A steadfast gaze, unwavering steps, and absolute words.

It looks like it, it really does...

They really look so alike...

For a moment, he thought it was Moses, his friend, who had returned to his side and was loudly reprimanding him. He really missed that feeling...

Is it just an illusion?

He continued to look into Rovey's eyes and soul, where the figures of Nefertari and Moses became increasingly clear, as if they were calling out to him.

Perhaps this isn't just a simple illusion; what if it's fate?

He couldn't help but think that.

"Kuhahahahahaha—hahahahahahaha—hahahahahaha!!!!"

The silence was broken by Rameses II on the throne. More concerned than the slaughter of his pets, he was now focused on the visitor below, and once again burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Interesting! Truly interesting... Moses, Moses, I thought you were just a charlatan, a nobody, but I never expected you to actually show me the shadow of my dearest friend. As the successor, you pass! However, I've also been captivated by your performance for the first time in a long time. You bear the shadow of Moses. Now, let me verify whether you are truly the reincarnation of Moses!"

"Huh? I am indeed the successor to Moses' will, but I am not some kind of reincarnation..."

Upon hearing the title "the reincarnation of Moses, "Rovey was slightly taken aback.

"Hmph, you can't fool me, Moses! Perhaps you haven't noticed, but I will never be wrong. You, your very soul, bear the shadow of my dearest friend! So whether it's true or not is not up to you to decide! I will verify it myself! My dearest friend, Moses!!"

"Are you deaf, Ozymandias?"

I don't know if it's because the rules of FGO suddenly kicked in, but after the two of them finished fighting, the atmosphere became more and more gay. Rovey felt that Rameses II seemed to see the shadows of others in him. Was he using him as a substitute?

So when he heard this increasingly strange address, he quickly tried to explain.

However, Rameses II was undoubtedly an extremely self-centered individual, and verbal explanations alone could not persuade him.

"Those are truly nostalgic words... So, are you ready, Moses... After more than three thousand years, let's have another battle!!"

"Want to fight? Then let's continue."

Rameses II smiled slightly, then stepped down from the throne. Rovey knew he couldn't reason with this mentally challenged man, so he could only prepare for battle.

However, seeing that the other party had not shown any killing intent and had not made a move, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"What are you planning now, Ozymandias?"

"Hahaha, isn't it obvious? How can my battle with my dearest friend, a reunion spanning over three thousand years, take place in such a filthy place?"

Rameses II glanced at the temple, which was littered with the remains of the Sphinx, and said matter-of-factly.

"Pharaoh Nitocris, I order you to clean this place up immediately!"

"Yes, yes!!"

Although she didn't understand what the Pharaoh wanted to do, Nitocris hurriedly went to clean up after hearing the order, while Rovey...

"Moses ... I won't take advantage of you. Today's battle ends here. You should leave now. We'll resume our fight after this place is cleared up."

Ozymandias said matter-of-factly, "You can spend the night in my territory. I believe this land where you once lived will remind you of something. As for accommodation, Nitocris will arrange it for you after she finishes cleaning up this place!"

"Um, I'm really not Moses..."

"Haha, my dear friend, I'm also looking forward to tomorrow's battle."

Ozymandias, in a good mood, laughed heartily, completely ignoring Rovey's correction.

Instead of holding a grudge against Rovey for just killing his pet, he invited him to visit his city, saying it was to reminisce about his past life...

Rovey just thought he was out of his mind.

"Would you like me to take Moses for a walk?" Nitocris, who was standing nearby, came over happily when she heard that she could leave, her expression very cheerful.

Upon hearing this, Ozymandias glanced at her coldly and said, "You shameful thing, you shall not bask in my glory until you have cleaned the palace."

Upon hearing this, Nitocris burst into tears and, sobbing pitifully, went to clean the temple.

She felt somewhat fortunate.

At least, although this incident was outrageous, it had a good ending.

Ozymandias was already quite kind of him not to punish her for the Sphinx incident, nor to prevent her from becoming a mummy.

At least she didn't dare to defy Ozymandias.

He himself is the kind of weak person who is submissive and not suited to be Pharaoh.

However, seeing this silly roe deer being bullied like this without fighting back, Rameses II was filled with disappointment and frustration. Rovey also felt that the two of them were both a bit eccentric, so he offered to help Nitocris clean up the Grand Temple.

Rameses II not only did not refuse, but said, "As expected of my dear friend, his kind nature has remained unchanged over the years, even in reincarnation. I grant his request!" Then he left with a big laugh.

"..."

Only Rovey and an embarrassed Nitocris were left staring at each other in the Grand Temple before they cleaned up the scene together.

They all wondered if the Pharaoh had suffered some kind of shock. Why was he so excited?

However, this farce ended only briefly.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

On his way back to his palace, Ozymandias seemed to hear a strange sound.

"The sound of bells?"

He couldn't help but turn around to look, but there was no trace of him in his temple.

After much thought, he could only attribute it to the city's residents ringing the bells, so he stopped paying attention to it.

His dear friend Moses has returned; he should be preparing a banquet now.

"How nostalgic... Moses, Nefertari, is it really you?"

Ozymandias then strode out of the corridor.

However, not long after he left...

In the darkness of the Great Temple of Radiance, two eerie blue flames and a pale white skull mask suddenly appeared.

'The Evening Bell have revealed your name!'

Chapter 182 You Have a Risk of Skull amputation

The desert is silent under the cover of night, and the ancient city nestled within it appears even more beautiful.

As the sun gradually sets, the night sky overhead, like a vast black silk ribbon, gently yet irresistibly blankets this ancient desert city. The ancient city wall, sculpted by the wind and sand during the day, is veiled in silver under the moonlight, its rough texture becoming hazy and mysterious, each brick and stone seemingly whispering stories of the past.

Aside from the massive pyramid in the distance and the somewhat incongruous Great Temple of Radiance, the overall environment and atmosphere of the ancient city are quite pleasant.

At this moment, in the ancient city, a few dim lights still sway in the night wind. Those few rays of light are weak but stubborn, adding a touch of warmth and human touch to this silent desert night.

It's truly hard to imagine that while people are still fighting to the death in the desert outside, and a bloody selection and massacre is taking place in the white Holy City Camelot, and in the Mountain Village further away where resources are so scarce that people are resorting to eating tree bark, the environment in this ancient city has been managed to remain in such a state. It's completely unlike what should be the situation in the Sixth Singularity.

Putting aside Ozymandias's character for a moment, he certainly did achieve his goal of having the sun's rays envelop his people.
