I Forgot / How Could This Be...

Looking into 'Mikaela's' eyes, Gawain seemed to see the king who had led him and his men to victory after victory.

"Please forgive my rudeness!" Gawain shouted, his body bursting with scorching light, Excalibur Galatine in his hand emitting a pale golden light, forcefully blocking the black and red magic power.

"The Excalibur Galatine (Excalibur Galatine)"

For reasons unknown, Gawain swung his Holy Sword, and the surrounding aura became unusually violent.

During the day, Gawain, who possessed a three-fold increase in power, revealed a terrifying aspect of his strength. He said with an unusually firm voice, "My king! Even if this path is wrong, I can no longer deviate from it, my hands stained with the blood of Gareth and Gareth."

"I can't turn back."

Gawain's voice was filled with sorrow and helplessness. He could sense that this was the true king, not the king who had been assimilated by the gods, but the true King Arthur.

Because of Gawain's sorrowful voice, 'Mikaela' paused for a moment. She said calmly, "I will kill you, and then I will kill 'her,' Sir Gawain. You may leave the stage now!"

Chapter 360 I Forgot

Was the person fighting Gawain Mikaela?

Yes, and no.

Just like in the Holy Grail War in Romania, Mikaela had Brynhildr possess her body and make her act in order to obtain the Valkyrie and Medusa's Spirit Origin.

Although the body belongs to Mikaela, the person fighting now is not Mikaela.

This is why Gawain has not yet exerted his full strength.

The king and his ministers had fought together for countless years; how could Gawain not see that the man before him was the true king?

At this moment, Artoria, inside Mikaela's body, was filled with anger and dissatisfaction upon seeing Gawain like this. How could he, as gentle as the sun, hesitate over such a trivial matter?

"I'm sorry, although I want to do my best to defeat Sir Gawain, I obviously don't have that ability right now."

Artoria's figure appeared before Mikaela; this was the previous mental world.

Perhaps Mikaela has become stronger, or perhaps the 'people' in the spiritual world no longer need to hide, and Artoria confronts Mikaela directly.

Instead of engaging in internal dialogue like Brynhildr did back then.

"He seems to be just passively resisting." Mikaela was puzzled. Gawain seemed to be in very bad shape. He looked like he was fighting Artoria desperately.

In reality, his desire to retaliate was very weak; he appeared to be passively taking a beating.

"No, this is just a facade." Artoria was multitasking, attacking Gawain while calmly saying, "Sir Gawain bears the guilt of killing his brother and sister, will not let himself fall here. The fact that he is not attacking me now is because he hopes that I will leave immediately."

That's right. Artoria wasn't very confident she could defeat Gawain. At the very least... with Gawain enhanced three times, she felt she definitely couldn't beat him without using the power of the Holy Grail.

However, this Holy Grail is not hers, and she has no right to take someone else's Holy Grail to fulfill her own desires.

Of course, if the Holy Grail were unclaimed, she would gladly accept it.

But the Holy Grail was not unclaimed. When Artoria wanted to 'borrow' the Holy Grail, an unknown Grand Assassin stood silently behind her, watching her calmly without saying a word.

Artoria admitted that she was afraid, but she wasn't the kind of robber who would take someone else's Holy Grail.

Therefore, Artoria gave the choice to Mikaela.

After all, he is the master, and moreover, he is a flawless person like Galahad, so it is most appropriate for him to wield this power.

"I see." Mikaela was unaware of what Artoria was thinking. He looked at Gawain, who was still passively defending in front of him, and seemed to understand something.

Although he couldn't understand Gawain's pain and realization, he was very clear about one thing: now was a good opportunity for him to leave the stage.

"Boom--!!"

After Artoria and Gawain's magical clashes were canceled out once again, the two stood motionless in place.

No, it should be said that Artoria stood still, and Gawain only realized that the king had no intention of attacking, so he stopped his actions.

"How about we call a truce?"

Gawain Artoria had stopped her attack, Gawain said in a somewhat sincere tone, "My king, although I can no longer serve you, at least... let me stop fighting you."

If the fight continued, Gawain would definitely fight with all his might, but he no longer wanted to get his hands stained with blood.

"..."

Mikaela changed back, clearly knowing that Artoria couldn't possibly defeat Gawain in his daytime form under normal circumstances.

Unless Artoria obtains the scabbard, Artoria will definitely defeat her in this state if he goes Gawain out.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about something." Mikaela looked at Gawain and said calmly, "Why would you, who has always guarded the gates of the Holy City, come here to attack the Old Man of the Mountain?"

In the original work, it's understandable that Agravain, Tristan, Mordred, and Lancelot went out to deal with these 'rebels' because the Lion King's side lacked Servant, the Purification Knight were incompetent, and the Old Man of the Mountain was causing trouble, forcing them to come out and deal with these 'rebels'.

However, Gawain is different. With the power of the Holy Grail, he is a terrifying existence as a strategic weapon, and in addition Holy City needs a Knights of the Round Table to protect him.

Therefore, Gawain remained in the Holy City, both to deter the Old Man of the Mountain and to better manage the Purification Knight.

After all, everyone has gone out to fight the Old Man of the Mountain, so who will manage the Purification Knight?

The Lion King?

You must be joking.

"Kindness?"

Upon hearing this tone, Gawain knew that this was not the king, but the outsider whom the Lion King had sent them to find.

"Your Majesty... no, the Lion King sent us to find you. She sent you an invitation, but you didn't seem to be available at the time, so she sent us to personally greet you."

Gawain answered very honestly, because he did not know whether the real king had left.

Gawain also stopped referring to the Lion King as 'King'.

"??????"

Mikaela frowned, his face full of confusion. The Lion King had sent him an invitation? How come he didn't know about it?

Seeing the puzzled look on Mikaela's face, a subtle emotion flashed in Gawain's eyes. He continued, "The Lion King said that you were in seclusion at the time, so she didn't disturb you. Instead, she sent a sentient 'creature' to relay the message."

"Wait a moment."

At that moment, Mikaela seemed to realize something. Without saying a word, she crushed the card, Oath of Judas appeared out of thin air beside her.

'Is it time for a fight?'

The newly emerged Oath of Judas immediately formed words with golden chains, then without a word, it activated its attack mode, aiming at Gawain, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Artificial weapons?"

Gawain immediately recognized the Oath of Judas as a weapon not created by the elves or the will of the world, but a purely man-made weapon.

With a somewhat strange expression, Mikaela asked Oath of Judas, "While I was in seclusion, did anyone come looking for me?"

"!!!!!"

Oath of Judas seemed to tremble slightly. As if suddenly remembering something, she hesitated for a moment before forming a string of words.

I completely forgot about that, sorry~☆

P. S.: "As long as I don't update on May 20th, I won't be tortured!"

Chapter 361 How Could This Be?

Chapter 361

The air fell silent for a moment.

Mikaela looked at Oath of Judas with some exasperation. Why hadn't he told her about something so important earlier?

If Mikaela knew that the Lion King was coming to find her, she certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble with Ramesses II right away. Instead, she would first ally with the Old Man of the Mountain and then try to obtain the Holy Grail from Ramesses II.

After all, if the Lion King knew of his existence and that he had obtained the Holy Grail, he would definitely do anything to kill him.

Mikaela is very clear about his own position; he is the kind of being who has magic power to fight against Grand Servant and powerful gods.

Without magic, he could at best fight on par with a first- Servant.

To give an example...

That means Mikaela, without the power of the Holy Grail, would have to fight Gawain with the determination to die.

With the Holy Grail in her possession, Mikaela has an 80% chance of killing the Lion King!!!

In the original story, the Lion King, who became a god, gained some mysterious abilities. She foresaw the downfall of her dynasty and the arrival of the Chaldea.

The fact that the other party sent the Knights of the Round Table to 'invite' him not long after he emerged from seclusion was enough to show how terrifying she was.

"You should have told me sooner," Mikaela said, looking at Oath of Judas with annoyance. "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation."

That's right. If Mikaela had known the Lion King was watching, how could she have used Gawain as a whetstone?!

They've already started bombarding each other from afar, so where would they find the leisure to hone their newly learned skills with Gawain?

"Oh? So you don't want to fight us?" Gawain's eyes lit up when he heard this. Did the other party mean that knowing the Lion King had invited him would make him avoid fighting them?

If that's the case, then it's not too late! Even if you've been through a battle, it's okay; such a battle is just a warm-up.

This can certainly be taken as proof of friendly exchanges between the two sides.

"No, I just want to end this battle as soon as possible." Mikaela looked at Gawain helplessly and said, "I'm the one who's going to resolve this Singularity. Some things happened before, so I didn't intend to be your enemy, but I've already obtained this..."

With that, Mikaela took out the Holy Grail that was placed on her chest, showed it to Gawain, and then said very calmly, "With this, I also have the ability to fight the Lion King."

"The Holy Grail of the Sun King." The moment Gawain saw the Holy Grail, he immediately understood who it originally belonged to.

After all, only two people in this Singularity possess the Holy Grail, one of whom is the Lion King with the 'genuine Holy Grail '.

The other is the 'pirated Holy Grail's possessed by the Sun King.

Although there are some differences between the two, what remains unchanged is that the Holy Grail contains immense magical power! Enough to allow three top-tier Heroic Spirit to unleash their full potential, and creating a high-intensity defensive position is a piece of cake.

"Hmm." Mikaela nodded, then placed the Holy Grail into her chest and said calmly, "Thank you for the information, but I'm going to kill you. Please forgive me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mikaela snapped her fingers, Oath of Judas flew into the sky without a word.

"!!!!!!!!!!"

A sense of crisis, a strong sense of crisis, Gawain to Excalibur Galatine in his hand without hesitation, concentrating a massive amount of energy on a single point.

"The Excalibur Galatine —!!!"

The scorching and blinding solar beams focused on a single point. Gawain watched as Oath of Judas flew into the air and unleashed the maximum power of his Noble Phantasm.

The momentary sense of crisis made Gawain immediately realize that his opponent was about to use a move that would put him in great danger.

In order to prevent the opponent from releasing it, Gawain instinctively unleashed his Noble Phantasm, intending to knock the opponent down.

However, as everyone knows, releasing a fully activated Noble Phantasm takes a little bit of time, within that very short period of time.

The overall appearance of the Oath of Judas has changed, with layer upon layer of gears emerging from within it and slowly stacking in the void.

A spiral-shaped ladder to the sky, constructed of golden gears, stretched straight up to the heavens. A massive golden barrier enveloped the area, with countless golden gears slowly rotating around it.

A scorching golden beam of light swept toward Oath of Judas.

However, halfway through, the golden beam of light dimmed considerably, indicating that the power of the Divine Grace Barrier had begun to interfere.

"Boom--!!"

An explosion rang out within the Divine Grace Barrier, but Oath of Judas remained unscathed, clearly indicating that the attack from that Noble Phantasm had not caused her much harm.

Seeing that Gawain were not going well, Gawain tried to escape to the outside of the barrier without saying a word. However, the barrier was unfolding too quickly, and he was trapped before he could escape.

"Buzz—!!"

Just as he was enveloped by the Divine Grace Barrier, Gawain emitted a dazzling light, as if a protective shield had shielded him.

"The power of the Holy Grail?" Mikaela fell into deep thought upon seeing this scene. Gawain was not affected by the Divine Grace Barrier. It seemed that the Holy Grail in the Lion King's hands was indeed not something created by Goetia.

It is the real Holy Grail.

"Although I don't know what happened, I seem to be quite lucky." Gawain looked at the light on his body and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze to Mikaela, who was standing outside the Divine Grace Barrier, and said calmly, "But your luck might be worse."

Although he didn't know what happened, Gawain knew that he seemed to have inexplicably escaped a calamity. This barrier had a great restraining power over him... no, it should be said that it had a great restraining power over Servant.

This power was enough to kill him inexplicably. The sense of life and death crisis he just felt made Gawain subconsciously use his Noble Phantasm to try to destroy Oath of Judas.

As a battle-hardened warrior, his intuition was remarkably sharp.

However, this restraining force was blocked by the power of the Holy Grail given by the Lion King, which made Gawain quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
