Deep Blue Flames / Grandpa!

Although the opportunity seems somewhat ridiculous, it is almost impossible to obtain such an opportunity from Mordred.

"No." Mikaela gripped the Ice Lotus Sword and said calmly, "You attacked me and still want me to become your knight? You've got some nerve."

If it were a normal recruitment, Mikaela would most likely not agree, let alone Mordred hitting her in the face with Noble Phantasm right at the start.

Only a masochist would grant her request.

"What a pity." Mordred grinned wildly as she planted her sword in the ground, crimson lightning crackling around her as she leaned forward slightly.

"Then... I'll beat you until you're unable to fight!"

Seeing that the other party did not obediently comply, Mordred's body immediately exploded with crimson lightning, and she transformed into a streak of red light, rushing towards Mikaela.

"Clang—!!"

With a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, Mikaela assumed a standard drawing stance, staring at Mordred as he charged forward, and once again drew his Ice Lotus Sword.

A blue light flashed, and an icy chill filled the surroundings.

What was originally a hot desert area now felt as if Holmes were in an extremely cold place.

"Clang--!!!"

The two clashed, Mikaela and Mordred staring at each other.

A being with a very calm expression, surrounded by swirling pale blue mist, seemed to have seen through everything in the world.

The other one revealed a maniacal smile, with crimson lightning surging around him, like an entity capable of destroying everything.

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear."

Holmes quickly stepped back, looking at Mikaela and Mordred with a helpless expression. "This is really a headache. Why did they start fighting over nothing?"

"To be honest, this kind of occasion is completely unsuitable for me. Should I just leave now?"

Although he said he was leaving, Holmes's gaze remained calmly fixed on Mordred and Mikaela. He did not leave, but stayed to watch Mikaela in the midst of the battle.

Although they only talked for a short while, Holmes sensed something incredible about Mikaela.

Even though it was their first meeting and their interactions were merely probing, the other person actually noticed something 'strange' about them.

If Mordred hadn't rushed in and interrupted their conversation, Holmes even had a premonition that Mikaela would use various methods to get him to tell the 'truth'.

It sounds strange, but Holmes thought it was quite possible.

'What a remarkable person!' Holmes thought to himself.

On the battlefield, Mikaela and Mordred fought for more than a dozen rounds, with both sides evenly matched.

After battling powerful beings within her own inner space for about three weeks, Mikaela has developed her own unique fighting style.

Mordred's fighting style is berserker, which simply means fighting to kill! As long as she can kill, that's all that matters.

Mikaela is a skill-based character, which is largely due to Yae Sakura's teachings. After all, while Yae Sakura is a shrine maiden, before she became Pseudo-Herrscher, her overall power still belonged to the human class.

At that time, Yae Sakura focused on swordsmanship. After becoming Pseudo-Herrscher, her power increased dramatically, transforming her from an ordinary shrine maiden into a terrifying being no weaker than Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie.

That's pretty much how Mikaela is now. Originally, he was just a guy with strength, but now that he has the right combat skills, his strength has naturally increased a lot.

"Not bad, not bad, you're quite something." Mordred took a few steps back, breathing heavily, and planted her sword in the ground. Looking at the weapon in Mikaela's hand, she said, "And... you have a pretty good weapon, don't you think."

While fighting Mikaela, his weapon continuously released icy mist, which slowed down her movements.

Although she also possesses Crimson Lightning, it is an offensive weapon, not a support weapon.

"Should we continue playing?"

After fighting Mordred for a while, Mikaela roughly realized that if she wanted to kill a first-class Servant like Mordred, she would have to use her Sub-Servant state or her Transformation state.

This is too much of a loss. Mikaela herself doesn't have much magic power reserves, and wasting a lot of magic power to kill Mordred is obviously not worthwhile.

It would be better to give them a little sparring to vent their anger at being hit in the face with Noble Phantasm, and then let's just let it go.

"Why not keep fighting?" Mordred was clearly enraged at this point. She licked her lips, her eyes filled with fighting spirit, and looked at Mikaela, saying, "I've said it before, either you become my knight today, or I'll knock you out."

"..."

Mikaela was speechless. He genuinely had no idea what Mordred was up to right now. Was he really planning to fight him to the death?

"Then..." Mikaela no longer held the Ice Lotus Sword in both hands. Instead, a card appeared in his hand, and he said calmly, "Don't blame me."

"Snap!"

It was accompanied by a crisp sound.

An ordinary-looking katana appeared in Mikaela's hand.

Nietono no Shana!

Crimson Flame surrounded Mikaela, seemingly trying to dispel the cold mist around him.

"!?"

The Ice Lotus Sword seemed to have its territory taken away, and for a moment it seemed to be a little emotional, and a large amount of cold air burst out from its body.

"A second Noble Phantasm?" Mordred looked at the two katanas in Mikaela's hands with some surprise, and said with some astonishment, "I didn't expect you to be a dual-wielder."

"It can only be done with dual swords."

If possible, Mikaela would like to develop a three-sword style, but for now he can only use a two-sword style.

After all, we can only take out two weapons right now; we can't take out a third one.

"Interesting, but the so-called dual-wielding is just having an extra weapon." Mordred looked at the weapon in Mikaela's hand and said disdainfully, "Having an extra weapon doesn't increase your combat ability much."

Despite saying that, Mordred did not attack immediately, since the opponent's weapons were all Noble Phantasm.

Mordred knew very well what the Noble Phantasm represented.

She may belittle Mikaela verbally, but if a real fight breaks out, she will definitely go all out!

Chapter 338 Azure Flame

The two remained silent, Mikaela and Mordred staring at each other.

Their aura was rapidly growing stronger.

Crimson lightning crackled and sparked around Mordred.

Mikaela held the Nietono no Shana in her left hand and the Ice Lotus Sword in her right.

The sword of the Nietono no Shana was burning with Crimson Flame, Ice Lotus Sword spread out a pale blue ice mist.

Neither of them attacked immediately. Mordred was wary, while Mikaela was thinking about how to defeat their opponent better.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a familiar male voice came over, and Lancelot arrived, his expression quite serious.

"Two against one?" Mikaela laughed. He wasn't afraid of Lancelot and Mordred joining forces, because the two of them together could at most drain his magic power, but wouldn't necessarily kill him.

Despite her fear, Mikaela is not afraid of Lancelot and Mordred if a real fight breaks out.

"Please don't misunderstand, beautiful lady..."

At this moment, Lancelot was stunned. He looked at Mikaela with some confusion, then looked at Mordred and said speechlessly, "You stopped the wrong person."

"Huh?" Mordred sheathed the King's Radiant Sword, looking at Lancelot speechlessly. "Didn't you say you wanted me to stop a guy who looks a lot like Father King? Doesn't he look a lot like Father King?"

Indeed, compared to Mikaela in her Victorious state, Mikaela wielding the Nietono no Shana and the Ice Lotus Sword at this moment is more like Artoria.

"This... seems correct." Lancelot was also a little confused. He looked at the girl-like Mikaela and sighed, "Never mind, this seems to be my mistake. Mordred, you stopped the wrong person. This is not the same person I saw."

Of course, Lancelot met Mikaela in her 'Victorious' form.

Once Mikaela entered battle mode, she reverted to her original form, looking completely different from before, and her demeanor also changed.

Although Lancelot felt that Mikaela was somewhat similar to the former, their temperament and appearance were different. Excluding the possibility of deliberate disguise, the two were definitely not the same person.

If Victorious was like a young queen, making people want to protect her.

Now, Mikaela seems to have grown up all at once, becoming King Arthur leads troops into battle.

"Misunderstanding?" Mikaela did not explain to Lancelot that she was the 'lady' he had just met.

After all, there's not much to explain. Lancelot just let him go on purpose, probably to let Mordred come over and capture him. Later, he was playing the good cop, telling people not to mind Mordred's rudeness.

They then echoed each other, forcing themselves to enter Camelot.

If Mikaela were truly captured by Mordred, and given Lancelot's persuasion, he certainly wouldn't say much and would obediently leave with them.

But things are different now. Mikaela was not defeated by Mordred at all, and he himself was not afraid of Lancelot. He just didn't want to waste time and energy on them.

"It was indeed a misunderstanding, and I am very sorry." Although Lancelot apologized, he stood beside Mordred and looked at Mikaela and Holmes, saying, "Although it was a misunderstanding, I still sincerely invite you to visit our Holy City."

Knowing that Mikaela and the others were not the ones he wanted to invite, but these two were still Servant, so if he didn't invite them...

It's equivalent to letting three Servant characters escape.

One Servant is one thing, but if three Servant escape, then putting aside whether the Lion King will question him, Lancelot will definitely not forgive himself.

Mordred placed the sword on her shoulder and looked at Mikaela, saying, "You are quite strong. If Father King sees you, he might give you the treatment due to a knight."

Although the Lion King has a cold personality, she is not the kind of tyrant. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of people: those who are useful and those who are useless.

Mikaela is really strong, and Mordred finds her very pleasing to the eye, and I believe Lancelot feels the same way.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped them from fighting.

"No." Mikaela refused decisively; he would never go to Camelot.

"Hahaha~ Although going to the Holy City is a good choice, I still have matters to investigate, so I cannot comply." Holmes laughed heartily, as he was well aware of the Lion King's terrifying nature.

I'm trying to avoid her as much as possible, why would I be stupid enough to run into her stronghold?

If the other party recognizes her identity, they definitely won't let her leave, because Merlin hasn't come to this era yet, and she still needs a strategist to help her.

"So why can't any of you leave with us?"

Lancelot sighed deeply. To be honest, he didn't want to make things difficult for Mikaela. As for Holmes... if he dared not to go with him, he would kill him without hesitation.

This is definitely not related to looks; rather, Lancelot saw the shadow of the My King in Mikaela, which is why he was moved by her.

"In that case, kill the man, and keep the one who looks pleasing to the eye." Mordred understood Lancelot's meaning, and crimson lightning erupted from her body.

They decided to kill Holmes first, then knock Mikaela unconscious and take her away.

"Since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do." Lancelot made a decisive move, wielding the Invincible Lake Light in his hand and slashing at Holmes.

"Oh dear, oh dear! They favor girls over boys!"

However, Holmes, being a detective, immediately deduced from a few words between Lancelot and Mordred that the other party intended to harm him. He retreated at lightning speed and hid behind Mikaela.

"Boom--!!"

Azure Flame erupted from the ground, instantly forcing Lancelot and Mordred back.

"??" Holmes was somewhat puzzled.

"..." A hint of surprise flashed in Mikaela's eyes, clearly indicating that the flames just now were not caused by him.

Because the Azure Flame couldn't possibly be the ice flames created by the fusion of the Nietono no Shana and the Ice Lotus Sword.

The Azure Flame represented the flames of death. An old man dressed in a black robe and wearing a skull mask stood before Mikaela and said in a calm voice, "If you don't want to leave, then stay."

The moment the old man appeared, Lancelot and Mordred felt their hair stand on end, as if they had encountered some terrifying being.

This is an existence even more terrifying than a king!

Chapter 339 Grandpa!

It's terrifying, an extremely terrifying existence.

Compared to the Lion King is devoid of emotion and possesses unparalleled execution skills, the one before me is far more terrifying.

He simply stood there, and Mordred and Lancelot, two top- Servant, felt death! This was death in the truest sense!

It was as if he would kill her if she didn't leave.

"What a joke!" Mordred roared, King's Radiant Sword in her hand. "You want me to stay?! That suits me perfectly!"

The thought of fear should not even cross Mordred's mind.

Her goal was pure and simple: to fight for her Father King, the king, to protect him, and to fulfill his wish!
