Banquet

Note: This is Noble Phantasm formed from the concentrated power of the supreme glory of the Knights of the Round Table. (1/12)

"Inherent Barrier? When did Saber get this?" Waver was dumbfounded.

"That's probably why Ling Yuan specifically brought this up," Diarmuid said.

At this moment, Saber had regained her composure.

Bang!

The sword tip touched the ground, and the crisp sound of the collision drew everyone's attention.

She looked solemnly at the twelve Knights of the Round Table before her.

"I will ask you only once: are you willing to continue to follow me, to be my loyal knights for the rest of your lives, and to serve me with your courage, strength, and wisdom?"

Without a second thought, all the Knights of the Round Table immediately knelt on one knee.

He bowed his head sincerely and said, "I, Lancelot (Mordred...), am willing to follow my king, to be loyal to him, and to stay by his side until the end of my life!"

Saber was moved by the knights' unwavering resolve.

She put her hands together, palms against the top of the sword hilt.

"Everyone, please rise."

However, not a single Knights of the Round Table stood up.

Knowing their time was limited, they wanted to leave with respect for King Arthur.

At this moment, Ling Yuan walked to Saber's side, looked at the Knights of the Round Table kneeling on the ground, and slowly said, "Now there is a wonderful opportunity before you: to be forever loyal to and accompany your king. Do you want to know?"

Upon hearing this, the Knights of the Round Table looked up.

"You know Inherent Barrier, right?"

"I'm giving you a choice: give up returning to the Throne of Heroes and enter Artoria's Inherent Barrier."

"Is this really possible?" Mordred asked, surprised and delighted.

"Look at those two, they're clearly Heroic Spirits, yet they have human bodies," Ling Yuan said, pointing at Dimurdo and Iskandar.

At this point, the Knights of the Round Table had no more doubts.

"Father, I want to join."

Mordred immediately shouted.

"I, I want to enter the Inherent Barrier too!" Gawain exclaimed as he realized what was happening.

One by one, the knights reacted and rushed to speak.

They hated themselves for failing to be loyal and for betraying them in their lifetime.

In any case, they didn't want to leave Wang alone to spend those dark times any longer.

Without exception, everyone joined Saber's Inherent Barrier.

In an instant, the previously empty Inherent Barrier was filled with Galahad's absence.

Among them, Lancelot's spirit origin overlapped with Lancelot's soul in the Holy Grail War within the Inherent Barrier, leaving him, who had been beaming with joy, completely dumbfounded.

He actually beat up Wang before!

Bedivere, having entered the Inherent Barrier, was transformed into a Heroic Spirit under Ling Yuan's manipulation.

It can be said that they bypassed Alaya and snatched her directly from her hands.

However, Ling Yuan said he wasn't worried at all.

Once Saber transforms into her Inherent Barrier, there's no need to worry about her physical body collapsing and disappearing; the scabbard Avalon automatically returns to Saber's body.

"You actually have such methods."

Even the Lion King, wielding the holy sword, was dumbfounded.

Not only did all the Knights of the Round Table she summoned betray her, but they also became Saber's Noble Phantasm that would forever accompany her.

She might not care about the Holy Lance, but now that she has retrieved the Holy Sword and recovered, she feels incredibly bitter.

But a king is a king after all, and he quickly calmed down.

As if he didn't want to see Saber anymore, he said, "You should all leave. I will disappear along with my ideals."

With that, he turned around and slowly walked toward the throne.

Because the Lion King was originally a non-existent king who developed from the Holy Lance.

Beckham's sword was successfully returned, the lance collapsed, and history was restored.

Her mistake will naturally disappear, and even if the exact same person appears again, it will not be her.

Is this what you really think?

"Does your death mean that Bedivere's 1500-year search was in vain?" Ling Yuan questioned.

"It's not useless, for me..."

"Once you die, even the most meaningful things will turn into cold words."

Just as the Lion King was about to notice, Ling Yuan interrupted him.

But she was stunned when she heard it.

Before she knew it, Ling Yuan had already walked up to her.

The former stretched out his hand.

"Would you like to sign a contract with me, Lion King?"

"A contract? You're really greedy. Having seen my past self, do you still want to sign a contract with me now?" the Lion King chuckled.

"But it's useless. I am not a Heroic Spirit, nor can I go to the Throne of Heroes, so I cannot be with you."

But when the Lion King was halfway through his sentence, Ling Yuan grabbed her hand.

Ling Yuan chuckled softly, "Don't keep denying things before you do them. Why don't you try it out first?"

"I'll ask you one more time: would you like to become my servant?"

"Is that so? I see. What a strange person." The Lion King glanced at Ling Yuan and said, "I agree."

Soon, light appeared on the Lion King's body.

On Ling Yuan's hand, where there was originally only one Command Seal, three more Command Seal suddenly appeared.

The Lion King also felt the constraints imposed on his soul.

After a long while, the Lion King slowly opened his eyes. "It seems you have some earth-shattering secret. However, Lancer, I obey your summons."

"What? What? What happened? Ling Yuan and the Lion King made a pact?"

Looking at the Lion King kneeling on one knee, Waver's mind went blank, and he asked in a daze.

"Leave now, this place is about to collapse."

Ling Yuan helped the Lion King up, his smile never fading.

Saber was very happy, and he was very happy too, having gotten a goddess for free with almost no effort.

Who could resist a grown-up version of the Ahoge (a type of hair sticking up) without its original ahoge?

After everything is over

Everyone left.

The moment everyone disappeared, black smoke appeared.

A figure wielding a jet-black greatsword, wearing a black cloak, and with a skull on his face appeared here.

He glanced at the throne and then left.

In the sky, only the utterly collapsed Camelot remained.

Fuyuki City

"Is it over?"

Looking at the familiar Tohsaka Residence, Waver was still a little dazed.

"You've had a long day, go back and rest."

Patting Waver on the shoulder, Ling Yuan led the Lion King toward the house.

He shouted loudly, "Sakuya, are you there?"

However, he was met with silence.

"Did you go somewhere for fun?"

After muttering something, Ling Yuan opened the door.

"Huh? What are you guys still doing here?"

Turning around, he saw Waver and his three companions approaching and asked blankly.

"I just wanted to ask if you'd like to attend the dinner tonight?" Kischur Zelretch said.

"Sure, you can decide the location and time."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare."

With that, Kischur Zelretch led Diarmuid away.

Waver was also pulled away by Iskandar to see if the game store had released 'Dai Strategy 2' recently.

Chapter 461 The Banquet

Ling Yuan, who couldn't find Sakuya, guessed that she must have gone out to play with Tohsaka Aoi and the others.

"Saber, Lily, let's go."

"Lily, who is she?" the Lion King asked.

"From now on, your name will be Lily."

The Lion King: "..."

"By the way, Saber has a sheath now, so you can't be without one either."

"Here, take this."

Ling Yuan gave an Avalon from the King's Treasure to Archer Artoria Lily.

However, Saber was stunned when she saw Avalon.

Isn't the scabbard supposed to be unique? And there's nothing wrong with the Avalon that Ling Yuan gave her...

"Ling Yuan, why do you have two sword sheaths?"

Saber voiced her doubts.

"We already have two holy swords, what's wrong with having two scabbards?" Ling Yuan countered.

This completely stumped Saber.

At first glance, it does seem to make sense.

However, under Saber's watery eyes, Ling Yuan also gave the Holy Lance to Archer Artoria Lily.

"Lily, this is the declaration of the great god. From now on, we can use the Holy Lance alternately. This is the Chains of Heaven. Don't you have a horse? See if you can use it as a rein."

Saber's mouth was slightly open.

Suddenly, she felt like she had fallen out of favor.

Even Archer Artoria Lily bewildered when he saw these weapons.

The intense divinity emanating from it told her that every weapon Ling Yuan had given her was divinely crafted.

After arming Archer Artoria Lily, the three finally set off.

As far as Ling Yuan knew, there was only one place that Tohsaka Aoi could take the children to.

Garden

At this moment, Kallen, Sakuya, Rin, and Illya are swinging on a swing.
