How Dare You! / Don't Blame Me for Being Underhanded

The Purification Knight have also completely disappeared from the desert.

With neither the Sphinx nor the Purification Knight, the number of monsters in the desert naturally increased.

Mikaela and her group are probably the only ones left to exterminate the monsters.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Mikaela and the other two turned around and looked behind them, where a blinding white light burst forth in the distance.

However, perhaps due to the great distance, the white light only appeared for a moment before disappearing immediately.

"Boom--!!!!"

Just then, a deafening sound came from afar.

"That is... the Lion King's Noble Phantasm, the Gae Bolg." Amon recognized what the white light was, and his face was very ugly. "However, it was just a pure magical attack. It was truly terrifying. If it weren't for that Grand Assassin's intervention, those Hassan would probably have been pulverized by that attack."

"A blow that leaves you utterly helpless." Arash gripped his bow in one hand, lost in thought for a moment. This level of Noble Phantasm attack was simply too hopeless.

If I were there, there would probably only be one way to stop them.

"Let's go to the Grand Temple." Mikaela said calmly, "If we can win over Ramesses II, our casualties will probably be reduced a lot."

"Of course, if we could meet that Knights of the Round Table, it would be a good thing for us to challenge the Lion King."

Mikaela remembered very clearly that the Lion King remembered Galahad and the other Knights of the Round Table, but forgot Bedivere, the first and last Knights of the Round Table who accompanied him.

In the original storyline, the Chaldea group fought the Lion King but had no chance of winning.

The reason is simple: the ruthless Lion King was even stronger than Ramesses II. At that time, the Holy Lance was already at full power, and the Lion King in this state could even fight Goetia!

Although she will ultimately lose, it is enough to show just how terrifying her strength is.

As a result, although Chaldea had the help of Hassan and Ramesses II, only Bedivere and Mash accompanied Fujimaru Ritsuka during the final battle.

Logically speaking, in this situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka should have lost without a doubt.

As a result, Bedivere's appearance disrupted the Lion King's mindset, allowing her to regain her emotions. Bedivere successfully reversed the inevitable defeat of Chaldea.

Of course, if Bedivere hadn't succeeded, perhaps a passing King Hassan would have rang the bell, would have dealt a heavy blow to the Lion King and then handed the enemy over to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

That being said, the most troublesome enemy right now is indeed the Lion King. Even if all the other Knights of the Round Table were tied up together, they probably couldn't defeat the Lion King.

Otherwise, the Lion King wouldn't have been able to summon them all at once and give them a choice: whether to rebel or obey his orders.

The Lion King must have considered what would happen if the Knights of the Round Table joined forces against him.

However, the fact that she still managed to summon them indicates that her power has reached an extremely terrifying level.

"Um."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Arash and Amon agreed, and they followed Mikaela toward the Grand Temple.

On the other side, a girl with orange-red hair looked at the yellow sand filling the sky and muttered to herself, "So, we're supposed to be looking for Sister Ella, but we've inexplicably gotten lost?"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, the King and we are 'destined' for each other." Reif, dressed in green, smiled kindly and looked around as he sighed, "This time you can relax a bit. After all, with the King here, you certainly won't encounter many difficulties."

"...That's right, with him around, everything will go much more smoothly." Standing on the other side, Ryougi Shiki, who was playing with a small knife, said in a very calm tone, "Last time, it was said that we were going to fight the Holy Grail War, but I didn't contribute anything. I just inexplicably signed a contract with a Red Hare named Lu Bu."

"Hmm... I feel like that Holy Grail War was just a trip."

Beside Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino, dressed in a gorgeous kimono, nodded slightly. She smiled gently, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, and sighed, "After that Holy Grail War, I always wanted to see him... but I never saw him until that incident."

"Ahem." Reif coughed a few times. He felt there was no need to bring up that incident again; it would seem very strange to do so.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!! This is Singularity!! Stop messing around!!!"

From the communication device, a woman's voice said impatiently, "Reif, you too! As a technician, what are you doing here at the Singularity?"

"Director... you haven't recovered yet, don't sit here." Roman's voice sounded helplessly from the side.

"Hahahaha, Olga, I came to the Singularity specifically to see the King and to mock a certain guy."

Reif laughed loudly, pulling his hat down low, a dangerous glint in his eyes. He said coldly, "While I am grateful that he revealed the King's information, I will not show him any mercy."

"I haven't completely forgotten about the Temple of Time."

Chapter 387 Insolence!

Unaware that Chaldea had already arrived at this Singularity, Mikaela had already brought Amon and Arash to the Grand Temple, but the master here did not seem to welcome them.

"A full thousand Sphinxes. Although they are mass-produced, this quantity alone is enough to kill several first-rate Servant." Amon looked at the Sphinxes rushing towards them like a sea, silently took two steps back, and said to Arash, "Third-rate archer, it's your turn to step in."

"Brother Amon, even if you say that, I can't possibly kill that many divine beasts." Arash looked troubled. He was strong, but not to that extent.

If he had used his Noble Phantasm, those thousand Sphinxes might have died instantly, but his Noble Phantasm is a one-time use item; once he uses it, he's gone too.

However, despite saying that, Arash's body language betrayed him as he began to block the Sphinx that was crashing down on him like waves.

"Let's attack together. Ramesses II has already sensed our arrival. There's no need to waste words with him now." Mikaela silently took out the pseudo- Divine Declaration and said calmly, "According to that pharaoh, we probably need to break in before there's any possibility of dialogue."

"Hmph! Rude fellow, it's all the same whether he's here or not." Amon snorted, clearly displeased with Ramesses II's arrogance.

"Well, it's their territory after all," Arash said with a smile.

While they were talking, the three of them had already crossed the sea of sphinxes and entered the interior of the Grand Temple.

All three are top-tier Servant. Although Amon may seem a bit embarrassing, he is indeed Demon God Pillar, and each Demon God Pillar possesses the formidable strength of a top- Servant.

If the seventy-two Demon God Pillar joined forces, they could even confront an army of Servant- on.

Last time, when Mikaela summoned so many Servant, they were all blocked by the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars. Keep in mind that these included God-level Servant and Servant with exceptional abilities. Goetia herself just watched from the sidelines and did not make a move to attack.

This shows that the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars are indeed very powerful, but it would be somewhat awkward to swing them out individually.

With three top-tier Servant currently at the level, dealing with the mass-produced Sphinxes is extremely difficult, but if they were to escape, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Roar--!!!"

With a roar, the Sphinx watched helplessly as Mikaela and her two companions stormed into the Grand Temple. Although they fought back with all their might, there was nothing they could do.

"Hmph! Mass-produced beasts, even divine beasts, can only be this much." Amon snorted coldly, clearly looking down on these mass-produced Sphinxes.

If this thing weren't mass-produced, Amon might be a little wary of it, but this kind of mass-produced product is not worth his attention at all.

"Be careful, the terrifying aura that disappeared from the Grand Temple last time has returned," Arash said solemnly, as he remembered it very clearly.

After that Grand Assassin 'assassinated' that Pharaoh, several powerful beings emerged from the Grand Temple.

These beings are extremely powerful; judging from their aura alone, they are clearly formidable opponents. Even Arash wasn't confident he could easily kill them.

When Arash left the Grand Temple last time, he was prepared to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, those auras disappeared the moment they were released.

It now appears that the Grand Assassin helped them kill those powerful beings.

The situation is different now. The assassin is currently defending against the Lion King's Noble Phantasm and has no time to come and help them.

"The Starry Sky Sphinx are not on the same level as the mass-produced Sphinxes outside. Any one of them can tear apart a first-rate Servant with its bare hands. With the enhancement inside the Grand Temple, they are even no weaker than Lancelot, the Lion King's mount."

Although Amon disliked Arash, he wouldn't be careless when it came to intelligence. He calmly said, "Of course, although he's not weaker than Lancelot, that's only in terms of strength."

"If you add in the Noble Phantasm and combat experience, even three Starry Sky Sphinx probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Lancelot."

Having great strength does not mean you can actually defeat your opponent.

Amon said this to reassure Arash that as long as Ramesses II didn't produce fifty Starry Sky Sphinx, there was absolutely no way to stop them.

Of course~ If he had so many mythical beasts, he would have attacked the Lion King long ago, instead of letting the other party run rampant in his territory?

"Roar--!!"

Suddenly, three Starry Sky Sphinx appeared in the wide corridor. They spoke in human language, their voices filled with murderous intent. "Insolent people, how dare you trespass into the Pharaoh's temple! Whatever your purpose, you will now atone with your deaths!"

"Atone with your death? What a joke! If you don't leave now, you'll be the ones who die!" Amon laughed; these three beasts were even more arrogant than him!

Even if he's arrogant, he wouldn't randomly send someone to die or anything like that; at most, he'd just verbally insult them.

These three beasts are something else; they want us all to die right from the start.

"Leave this to me," Arash stepped forward, speaking calmly. "If it's only three, I can probably handle it."

"Don't kill them, they're still useful." Mikaela looked at Arash calmly and said, "Existences of this level are excellent for attacking the Holy City."

"Understood." Arash smiled, but inwardly he was wryly smiling; he'd be lucky to remain undefeated against the three of them.

If you really want to kill them, then just unleash your Noble Phantasm. Of course, after unleashing your Noble Phantasm...

I'm afraid I'll get a quadra kill!

Seeing Arash's expression, Amon straightened his clothes with a serious expression. It seemed that he would be accompanying the My King on the rest of the journey.

Just as Amon was lost in his own thoughts, Mikaela spoke up, "Amon, you stay too."

"Huh?" Amon was stunned. What was going on?! Couldn't they have just let this third-rate archer stay?

"I can go faster on my own. You stay here to assist Arash. That's all, I'm off." As soon as Mikaela finished speaking, she rushed towards the Starry Sky Sphinx without saying another word.

"Insolence!" X3.

The three Starry Sky Sphinx, each possessing the strength of Servant, were enraged. They were intelligent beings, so how could they not understand what Mikaela and the others were saying?

The other party was blatantly showing them contempt.

"How dare you!" Amon transformed into Demon God Pillar, his terrifying Magic Laser converging at a single point as he charged towards one of the Starry Sky Sphinx.

"Oh, it's just asking for passage, don't get worked up."

Arash also showed a gentle smile, but his hands did not stop moving, and hundreds of arrows rained down on the Starry Sky Sphinx.

Chapter 388 Don't Blame Me for Being Despicable

With the help of Arash and Amon, Mikaela successfully passed the three Starry Sky Sphinx and headed deep into the Grand Temple.

Because of the Nitocris ribbon that had guided her last time, Mikaela did not encounter many dangers or traps.

But this time it's different. A series of traps and mechanisms await Mikaela, including hidden arrows, spears, poison gas, and large pits.

"..."

Mikaela silently swung her weapon, knocking down the arrows flying in her face, and then smashed the rolling stones behind her into rubble with a single blow.

These traps couldn't harm him at all, but they were really annoying, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"Delaying time?" Mikaela looked ahead. He was not far from where Ramesses II was. He could reach him in just one minute.

The other party is absolutely aware of my arrival and knows exactly what my purpose is.

Knowing full well what they're here for, they still use these mechanisms to deliberately delay their time; it's really annoying.

It's important to know that in the original work, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't suffer much hardship at all. She basically made her way to Ramesses II, defeated 'Amon', and finally gained his approval.

Now that I've arrived, they've opened the trap, and they're doing everything they can to stop me.

It seems the other party really dislikes him. If it were Arash, the other party would probably be treated the same as Fujimaru Ritsuka, or even better.

"Bang!"

Mikaela was too lazy to play these little tricks with Ramesses II. He leaped up and rushed towards the temple where Ramesses II was at an extremely fast speed.

The surrounding mechanisms also activated rapidly, seemingly trying their best to stop Mikaela.

"Wind."

Mikaela calmly uttered a single word, then drew a rune with a single finger. This rune was implanted into his body, doubling his flight speed.

The sudden acceleration of Mikaela seemed to startle the mechanisms for a moment.

"Is it coming?" In the temple, Ramesses II silently opened his eyes. He sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "What a boring man."

"Is it coming?"

Nitocris gripped the scepter tightly, her eyes fixed on the entrance; she appeared extremely nervous.

Clearly, the previous incident had made her somewhat afraid of Mikaela. Although the other party wasn't scary, the being behind him was truly terrifying.

Even the King of Kings, Lord Osymandias, was no match for that guy. Just how terrifying is such a being?

"No need to be afraid, this guy wants to form an alliance with me." Ramesses II propped his head up with his hand, looking quite lazy. He closed his eyes and said in a very calm tone, "The game is over, Nitocris, prepare to welcome the guest."

Before Ramesses II could reply, Nitocris had barely finished speaking.

Holding the fake Divine Declaration, Mikaela rushed into the temple. As soon as he entered, he looked up and said calmly to Ramesses II, who was sitting on the throne, "This is the second time we've met."
