Noble Phantasm Unleashed / You Celebrated Too Soon

Clearly, this occurred when Arash launched his attack and killed the Knights of the Round Table.

Their location had already been locked by the Knights of the Round Table.

But... why did Gawain? Wasn't he Knights of the Round Table who couldn't leave the Holy City?

However, after discovering Gawain's appearance, Mikaela also felt that Kyoshino's death was not unjust at all. Gawain, who had the power of the Holy Grail, was the most troublesome target in this Singularity!

Even two Kyoshinikos combined couldn't defeat him, let alone one Kyoshiniko.

Moreover, besides Gawain, quite a few Purification Knight appeared in the sight of Mikaela and the others, it seems that the previous Purification Knight were just a small exploration team.

Chapter 356 Release of the Noble Phantasm

"Such powerful strength! Is this the outsider the King spoke of?"

At the foot of the mountain, a red-haired man with his eyes closed gently stroked the 'instrument' in his hands, like a court musician playing a zither.

"Shuashuashua——!!"

Several unseen attacks rushed upwards, clearly indicating that the red-haired man was launching an attack.

Arash's arrows were being shot down just now, probably because of this red-haired man.

"You actually lost to someone in archery; it seems your opponent also has a rather formidable Servant." Beside the red-haired man, a man with a very gloomy appearance said calmly, "Although the Queen said that she had spoken with that guy, if he is heading towards the Holy City, then he should be received with the utmost courtesy, but if not..."

Agravain's expression darkened further, clearly filled with murderous intent!

"The king's mercy can never be repaid."

On the other side, a man with a sunny and cheerful appearance but a gorilla-like physique sighed, "But it doesn't matter. As subjects, we should go and reclaim the king's mercy."

Tristan, Agravain, and Gawain, the three Knights of the Round Table, arrived. Their goals were simple: first, to investigate the Purification Knight who had been eliminated here; and second, to welcome the being the king had once mentioned.

However, this time, the two mission objectives unexpectedly collided.

The Lion King had previously met Mikaela when she first entered this Singularity and before she summoned the Knights of the Round Table. He saw Mikaela at her weakest point, with her magic depleted.

She did not attack Mikaela at that time, but instead told Oath of Judas that if her master awoke, she would tell him her purpose.

Because the Lion King could sense that Mikaela possessed an aura that was close to that of the same source, she felt that Mikaela was very strong and capable of becoming her right-hand woman.

Then... Mikaela had no idea about this, because the Oath of Judas was forgotten in the realm of consciousness.

Oath of Judas was spent either training Mikaela or chatting with Yae Sakura and Kallen; he had long forgotten about the Lion King.

But Oath of Judas, while the Lion King did not forget such a hidden ally with unlimited potential. She observed the stars at night and discovered that the other party had emerged from seclusion. She immediately sent Agravain and Gawain to receive him.

As for Tristan... he was just here to investigate. The Purification Knight of this region were wiped out by that guy, and he killed the guy in the process.

Unexpectedly, their target coincided with Gawain's.

"Ah, how sad I am! I never thought that the king's rare mercy would be trampled on by the other side." Tristan played his harp, saying he was sad, but he didn't stop what he was doing. Instead, he engaged in a duel of archery with Arash on the mountain.

"It's so sad. This king sacrificed his humanity and devised such a perfect plan for mankind, yet there are still people who want to oppose such a king."

Tristan slightly opened his eyes and said in a chilling tone, "Should we cut off his head and bring it to the king, or tear him to pieces to commemorate the king's mercy, which no one can trample on?"

"Be careful what you say, Lord Tristan." Gawain couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned and looked at Tristan, saying, "The King's goal this time is for us to bring him back. Moreover, the fact that he sent me out is enough to prove the importance of this mission."

Gawain, who couldn't possibly leave the main gate of the Holy City, was sent out by the Lion King, which is enough to prove how much the Lion King values Mikaela.

"Ah~ I'm so sad, I really misspoke, I'm sorry everyone."

Tristan continued playing his harp, his hand gliding over the instrument-like weapon in his hand, and said, "I'm afraid that fellow whom I've never met is the last person the king will show mercy to."

"..."

Agravain frowned. He didn't say much, but just watched the rain of arrows falling from the mountaintop and said calmly, "Stop playing around, Sir Gawain, make your move."

The opponent has a very good Servant. Tristan was evenly matched just now, but now he is starting to lose some ground. It seems that the archery master is stronger than Tristan.

Moreover, they weren't there to play a defensive game. If they could get their ace up, why would they hold back?

"I understand." Gawain smiled and slowly took the greatsword from his waist.

"Ah~ I am so sad. It was a fair fight, but it was interfered with by outsiders." Tristan sighed again, but this time he put away his weapon and looked at Gawain and said, "But I'm afraid that opponent will be satisfied to see your Noble Phantasm."

"Shut up, Tristan. Do your job and don't let the enemy escape using Gawain's Noble Phantasm. I need your eagle-like gaze." Agravain warned Tristan, telling him to focus on the mountaintop.

"Buzz—!!!"

In the sky, the sun grew even hotter. Gawain drew his Noble Phantasm, gazing at the mountain peaks ahead, terrifying magical power surging from his body. He calmly proclaimed, "Excalibur Galatine—!!!"

This is the Noble Phantasm that Mikaela used to deal with Vlad III, who had turned into a vampire.

The Excalibur Galatine is a terrifying Noble Phantasm that is no weaker than Excalibur.

Gawain is now at his peak, and the Noble Phantasm he unleashes is even more terrifying. This mountain peak is simply no match for the attack of the Excalibur Galatine.

It can be said that if the other side did not have a corresponding means to stop Gawain, then this mountain and the village behind it would definitely be mercilessly destroyed by the power of the Noble Phantasm.

However, at the moment Gawain unleashed his Noble Phantasm, Mikaela naturally took countermeasures; he couldn't just stand by and watch Kyoshino and the villagers die under Gawain Noble Phantasm.

So he decisively crushed the card, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. Because he had obtained the Holy Grail from Ramesses II, Mikaela was now able to unleash her Noble Phantasm without restraint.

"Oh! Master, are you about to launch an attack?"

Arash stared at the weapon in Mikaela's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He could sense that it was an extremely powerful Noble Phantasm.

Although he knew that his Master was no ordinary person, how could he so casually take out a Noble Phantasm with considerable power?

"Excalibur—!!"

Mikaela activated her Noble Phantasm, intending to take Gawain Noble Phantasm head-on, so she had to use Noble Phantasm of equal power to counter it.

A golden beam of light surged down from the mountaintop, colliding with Gawain's Noble Phantasm like a tsunami.

"How is this possible—!!!" X3

Agravain, Tristan, Gawain exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 357 Too Early to Be Happy

That golden beam of light, that familiar aura.

When Mikaela activated Excalibur, Agravain, Tristan, Gawain instantly recognized what the Noble Phantasm was.

Isn't this familiar yet?!

"Could it be?! Merlin is here?!" Agravain's face immediately darkened.

"It can't be Merlin, he can't leave that place." Tristan ruled out Agravain.

Although Merlin may possess the Holy Sword, how could he possibly break his vow and leave that place?

If he really wanted to come out, he would definitely be summoned by the king. The fact that he couldn't be summoned proves that he can't get out of that cage...

"Whether it's Merlin or 'The King,' we have no way to retreat," Gawain said calmly, the smile on his face vanishing the moment he saw the light of Excalibur.

Although Agravain said that the one who released the Noble Phantasm was Merlin, everyone was not stupid and naturally knew that Merlin had no need to use the King's Holy Sword to cause trouble. If he wanted to block Gawain Noble Phantasm, it would be a very easy thing for him.

The Knights of the Round Table all knew that Merlin was the most unfathomable person. He was the king's swordsmanship instructor and also the strongest True Magic in Britain.

Their mother was nowhere near as skilled in Magecraft as Merlin.

However, Merlin has no desire to use Magecraft against others; he prefers to fight with swordsmanship. Unless in a real crisis, he would never use Magecraft to attack or defend.

"...This is too sad." Tristan said very calmly. This time he did not speak sarcastically, but said very seriously, "If the being who comes down from the top of the mountain is really a king, then what should be done?"

"..."

Agravain and Gawain remained silent. Should they attack the king? They didn't know either.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

Arrows rained down on Gawain, Tristan, and Agravain.

"Form ranks!" Agravain his hand, directing the Purification Knight behind him to prepare to form ranks to defend against the volley of arrows.

"Yes!"

The Purification Knight ran up to Agravain and the others, raised their shields, and stood in front of them.

"Buzz—!!!"

Pale blue magic energy erupted from the shield, clearly indicating that it was a magic shield.

"Everyone, no matter who we encounter next, we must be ruthless in our fight, even if that person is a king..." Agravain said in a very serious tone.

"I understand that when I kill Gareth with my own hands, I must carry on with her will," Gawain said in a deep voice. He would not deceive himself.

Even if the opponent is truly a king, he will wield his weapon without mercy.

For humanity, and for the king's command, he would fight at all costs and kill anyone who stood in his way.

"Sir Gawain, don't make me do such a cruel thing," Tristan said calmly. Even with his personality reversed, he didn't want to harm King Arthur. If he could, he wouldn't want to harm the king.

This batch of Purification Knight was clearly far more capable than the previous batch. After they managed to withstand a volley of Arash's Purification Knight, they still had the strength to continue their defense.

You should know that Arash's arrow rain can slice off a mountain!

This is why Arash was able to defeat a powerful Servant like Lancelot even without using his Noble Phantasm.

After the rain of arrows, Arash did not launch an attack, and Gawain did not unleash his Noble Phantasm, but waited quietly for something.

Tristan gazed at the mountaintop, he could sense that the enemy had not chosen to retreat, but instead was slowly descending.

"..."

Speechless, Agravain gripped the weapon at his waist, gritting his teeth. His already gloomy face grew even darker.

Gawain remained silent, Excalibur Galatine tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Tristan placed his hand on his weapon, ready to respond to Arash's attack at any moment.

"Knights of the Round Table, this is probably our first meeting. No, this is probably not our first meeting."

To Agravain Gawain, and Tristan's surprise, a young girl with a royal aura descended from the mountaintop, accompanied by a man dressed as a butler and an archer dressed as a warrior.

Mikaela looked at Tristan, whom she had seen and eliminated during the prologue of Fuyuki City.

However, at that time Tristan possessed an elegant, aristocratic air, and every move he made was admirable. Even as an enemy, Mikaela felt that he was a worthy opponent.

However, Tristan smells terrible right now; a repulsive odor emanates from him.

Mikaela instinctively felt that Tristan was disgusting and made her want to beat him up.

"Call!"

Upon seeing Mikaela, the three Knights of the Round Table breathed a sigh of relief, and Agravain's previously gloomy expression eased somewhat.

Tristan revealed a cruel smile, as if his previous hesitation had vanished completely.

"I'm truly sorry, miss." Gawain also revealed a gentle, sun-like smile. It seemed that the enemy was not the king, which made the three of them feel very pleased.

Because even though they were prepared to fight the king.

But this realization was too heavy, so heavy that even Tristan in his reversed state didn't want to fight anymore.

"Miss?"

Arash seemed about to laugh, but he quickly held it back, as if wanting to see Amon's expression.

"Whoa! Another guy attracted to our king? This is really a headache~" Amon seemed to be having a blast. He spread his arms as if to embrace the world and exclaimed, "The king's radiance and charm have always been there. Even if he changed his appearance, he could not hide his charm."

"??????"

Arash looked at Amon with a puzzled expression. "Something's not right with you, Demon God Pillar. Haven't you realized that your king is actually male?"

"I see. Are you relieved?"

Mikaela ignored Arash and Amon. After seeing the relaxed smiles on the faces of the three Knights of the Round Table, he roughly understood that he had just unleashed Excalibur, causing them an unknown amount of damage.

"That's right, I truly believe your appearance is a good thing." Agravain looked at Mikaela and found that she was just as the king had said.

Powerful! And full of charm.

Although he didn't know what had just happened with the Noble Phantasm, Agravain no longer wanted to investigate it.

He silently drew his sword from his waist, ready to take down his opponent.

Gawain was the same; although he maintained a gentle smile, he couldn't wait to win over Mikaela.
