The Lion King Appears / How Much Magical Energy?

The last one to arrive, Gawain, was quite a sight. Five 'Father King' surrounded him. Although they didn't say a word, Mordred could clearly sense that even with triple the power, Gawain was completely panicked.

"Shameless? No, no, no, this is not shameless." 'Mikaela' holding the Nietono no Shana revealed a very gentle smile. He stood shoulder to shoulder with 'Mikaela' holding the Ice Lotus Sword and said in a serious tone, "Because we are not strictly speaking 'human,' so don't use your standards to constrain us."

"Hahaha, what a funny joke. Come to think of it, Mordred said self-deprecatingly, holding the King's Radiant Sword. "I'm already dead, and I'm no longer human. I'm just Servant now. What shamelessness is there to talk about?"

"Bang—!!"

With a deafening roar, Mordred flashed a radiant smile as the ground beneath her feet cracked! She transformed into a cannonball and hurtled towards the two of them.

"Strictly speaking, I am still human." 'Mikaela', holding the Ice Lotus Sword, glanced at 'herself' beside her and said calmly, "I haven't obtained the Herrscher Core of Ice yet."

"Huh? You're not taking the other Herrscher Core?"

Mikaela, who casually blocked Mordred's attack, looked at himself with some surprise. He slightly waved the Nietono no Shana in his hand, and the Crimson Flame engulfed the opponent like a sea.

As the contract partner of the Heavenly Punishment God, 'Mikaela' who holds the power of the Nietono no Shana is extremely powerful, not to mention that he is now an extremely powerful being who is a combination of three gods.

Having signed a contract with the three Crimson Realm Demon God, he gained their divine Divine Authority. If this clone were stronger, it could unleash half the power of his original body.

So killing Mordred would be a piece of cake for him.

"Those are not suitable for me." Mikaela, wielding the Ice Lotus Sword, dodged a bolt of crimson lightning. As if ignoring Mordred, she said calmly, "Now I want to pursue the ultimate 'ice,' to the point where a full-force strike can freeze space and time."

"Oh, that's terrifying. If you reach that level, you're practically a 'god'."

Holding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, Mordred was kicked away. His originally illusory hair turned crimson, and his eyes changed from black to a burning red.

"'God'? If I obtain the Herrscher Core of Ice, then I'll be practically a 'god' too." 'Mikaela', holding the Ice Lotus Sword, smiled slightly. Pale blue ice mist surrounded him, and a pair of 'donkey' ears appeared on his head.

At this moment, the temperature around her fluctuated wildly, and Mordred looked extremely frustrated as she fought with utmost seriousness.

But what about the two of them?! They were chatting the whole time! They never stopped!

It's as if chatting is the main topic, and fighting with oneself is just a side effect.

"You've gone too far!" Mordred roared, her body crackling with blinding crimson lightning, and terrifying magic erupting from her.

She's going to use her Noble Phantasm to teach those two a lesson!

"Going too far? We didn't. You're overthinking it. This is our strongest state." 'Mikaela', who was holding the Ice Lotus Sword, seemed to realize that Mordred was about to unleash his power. He took a big step back and assumed a sword-drawing slashing stance.

"Yes, yes, yes." 'Mikaela,' holding the Nietono no Shana, nodded with a smile, but he did not mean to underestimate Mordred.

Noble Phantasm are truly devastating weapons, especially since Mordred is currently empowered by the Lion King's Holy Grail. In their current state, they might not be able to withstand the opponent's Noble Phantasm.

"Boom--!!"

However, Mordred heard their words as utter mockery. A flash of anger crossed her eyes, and without saying a word, she unleashed her Noble Phantasm!

Clarent Blood Arthur!

The crimson beam cannon, accompanied by the sound of thunder, hurtled towards the two with an aura of absolute destruction.

"Let's go together." Mikaela, holding the Nietono no Shana, said calmly.

"Hmm." Mikaela, holding the Ice Lotus Sword, nodded slightly. Even though they had enough magic power now, their individual beings who had descended into this world were too fragile to unleash any greater power.

"So... can you stop watching me? Is it time to fight?"

At this moment, Gawain had already drawn his Holy Sword — the Excalibur Galatine, but he did not point Holy Sword at any of the 'Mikaela'. Instead, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he looked around at the 'Mikaela' and said, "Looking at me like that makes me feel a lot of pressure."

"It's alright, it's not particularly big." 'Mikaela', holding the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, said calmly, "We didn't do anything."

"That's right, I just wanted to see Gawain at three times the Gawain." Holding the Jizo Mitama and accompanied by a little fox, 'Mikaela' looked at Gawain as if he were some rare species.

They seemed quite curious about him, after all, he was Servant was tripled under the sun.

"..." Holding the Excalibur and Gae Bolg, 'Mikaela' remained silent. They simply gazed at Gawain quietly, then occasionally looked towards the Holy City in the distance, a hint of sigh and helplessness flashing in their eyes.

The person who truly put the most pressure on Gawain was 'Mikaela', who was standing to the side holding Black Long Key and had an eye between her eyebrows.

The other party! They're terrifying! Extremely terrifying!

His instincts told him that he should never try to challenge this being, or he would suffer a terrible fate.

On the other side, Tristan was being thoroughly beaten by 'Mikaela', who was holding the Oath of Judas and wielding the Black Stone Longsword.

The other 'Mikaela's' didn't watch the show either. With Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, Mikaela dealt with all the Purification Knight in an instant, and then went to chat with the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

PS: "Damn it! The Guardian Ape from Sekiro left me with a very strong memory today!! His first phase was incredibly difficult! It took me about an hour to beat him."

P. S.: "Later in the cave, his mixed doubles match with his wife almost made me smash my keyboard! I was so angry!"

P. S.: "I'm getting ready to beat up my godfather tomorrow!"

Chapter 418 The Lion King Appears

Deep within the Holy City, the Lion King was resting. Having unleashed the power of the Holy Lance more than a dozen times today, even she felt a bit sleepy. So, before facing the great battle, she chose to take a short break.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded, causing the Lion King to slightly open his eyes and look at the figure at the doorway.

"King."

Agravain did not enter the room, or rather, he had no need to enter the room.

Because this area is shrouded by the Holy Lance, the Lion King is almost invincible here. If he were to enter, he would likely be attacked by the Holy Lance 'unconsciously'.

"..." The Lion King remained silent, not saying anything more, but instead looking in another direction.

That's the direction in which the Mikaela fought Mordred, Gawain, Tristan.

"Your mission is complete." The Lion King rose from her throne, realizing that Agravain had finished their mission.

Mikaela was successfully lured over. The Lion King stretched out a hand, made a slight grabbing motion in a certain direction, and then pulled a spear out of thin air.

No! To be precise, it's a gun completely surrounded by light, or perhaps composed entirely of light.

You can vaguely see the spear shaft in the Lion King's hand, then a smaller, conical spear body, and finally a beam of light extending from the spear tip and rotating around the entire spear.

It's illogical that a gun made of light can be roughly shaped.

The Holy Lance— the Gae Bolg.

Compared to the Gae Bolg outside that hadn't yet unleashed its Noble Phantasm, the Gae Bolg in the Lion King's hand was now unleashing its full power.

"I have fulfilled my mission." Agravain bowed his head and walked to the side, making way for the Lion King.

"When I return, I will reward you." The Lion King strode forward, knowing that her subjects had created a very good opportunity for her.

She wouldn't let this great opportunity slip by, especially if she were to fight alone.

Even without the intervention of that Grand Assassin, the Lion King was confident he could defeat Mikaela.

After all, in the Lion King's memory, although Mikaela's aura was somewhat similar to his own, it had not yet reached 'that level'.

If her opponent were to team up with that Grand Assassin to deal with her, her chances of winning would be pitifully low, but as things stand now... Lion King felt that she was unlikely to lose.

"Yes."

Agravain and said nothing more, because the moment the Lion King moved, the Purification Knight in the city also began to move.

Agravain didn't know how many Purification Knight there were, because all he knew was that... these guys were just expendable resources, and he wouldn't care how many died.

However, the Lion King now intends to use these cannon fodder to buy himself enough time.

In the center of the battlefield, Tristan gasped for breath. He was covered in wounds, but a smile remained on his face, as if these injuries meant nothing to him.

"Why bother?" Mikaela, who had planted the Oath of Judas in the ground, looked at Tristan's appearance and shook her head slightly. She said calmly, "If you want, you don't have to torture yourself like this."

"This is not torture for me."

Tristan was blind, but he still raised his head, 'looked' at the two 'Mikaela' in front of him, and smiled, "This is a great reward for me."

From the very beginning of the battle, Tristan had been on the defensive, and several times he even had the chance to retaliate, but he didn't make a move, simply waiting quietly for 'Mikaela' to launch an attack.

Compared to the fierce battle on Mordred's side and the silent battle on Gawain's side, Tristan's side seemed more like they were willingly going to their deaths.

"Now is not the time." At this moment, Mikaela from this world arrived, holding the pseudo- Divine Declaration. She looked at Tristan and said, "You cannot leave now. You can only officially leave after 'them' arrive."

At this point, Mikaela, holding the fake Divine Declaration, flew up. He looked towards the Holy City, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He could already sense that the Lion King had 'awakened'.

In fact, it wasn't just him who noticed it; other 'people' also clearly sensed it.

Because the 'Mikaela' here all came into contact with the Gae Bolg before going to another world.

When the Lion King awoke, they all sensed the aura of the Holy Lance awakening.

Especially when watching Gawain over there, with 'Mikaela' holding the Gae Bolg in her hand, he directly bypassed Gawain and looked towards the Holy City.

"Isn't it time yet?" Tristan was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't say much. After all, the day of the final battle was fast approaching, and this was just the opening act.

We've already made it through so many days, why would we care about just one more day?

Just as Tristan finished speaking, the gates of the Holy City opened in the distance.

Yes, it was truly opened; the gates of the Holy City were fully opened, and squads of Purification Knight walked out of the city.

Unlike the infantry encountered in previous encounters, this time the Purification Knight were mostly mounted on horseback and carrying lances.

Standing at the very front was none other than the Lion King — Artoria.

At this moment, she removed her helmet, holding the Gae Bolg in her hand. She didn't say a word, just quietly watching Mikaela and her 'knights' not far away.

"In a way, it's quite fulfilling." The Shopkeeper's Daughter, who was watching the show, looked at 'Mikaela' in a kimono and exclaimed, "Although this isn't the first time I've experienced something like this, it's still quite shocking."

"..." Mikaela, dressed in a kimono, looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter speechlessly and said calmly, "If it were an ordinary person, they would probably apologize frantically."

"Well, I'm not an ordinary person. I've experienced being threatened, kidnapped, and rescued more than a dozen times. The first time I might have felt scared, but now... with you guys here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The Shopkeeper's Daughter was telling the truth. With so many Aila-chan protecting her, it would be abnormal for her to be afraid.

"That's a classic decapitation joke, you know." 'Mikaela,' with Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, appeared out of nowhere. She looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter and chuckled, "Watch out, or your head might get eaten by a witch who loves cake!"

"Duang!"

A dandelion hit 'Mikaela' on the head, who had Pocket Watch hanging from her waist.

Holding Hozuki dandelion, 'Mikaela' calmly said, 'No jokes allowed, and... the enemy is coming.'

P. S.: "Couldn't sleep, so I wrote a chapter! Now I'm going to bed."

Chapter 419 How Much Magic Power?

Mikaela didn't know how many Purification Knights were, but he was certain that the Lion King had no intention of 'reasoning' anymore.

"The war is about to begin." Mordred's forehead was covered in sweat, and she was panting heavily, as if she had reached her limit.

"Not bad."

Holding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, he praised it, though it was unclear whether he was praising Mordred or the Lion King. His body was somewhat ethereal, but a magical power emanated from the Mikaela of this world.

His originally illusory body became solid, and he exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

On the neck of 'Mikaela' who was holding the Nietono no Shana, there was a pendant with sparks inside.

"Back here again?" A deep voice came from the pendant, seemingly unsurprised that he had been summoned.

"To be honest, I don't have that many fancy helpers. True strength lies in one's own power." 'Mikaela,' holding the Ice Lotus Sword, slightly waved his weapon. After accepting the magic power given to him by Mikaela in this world, his overall demeanor improved considerably.

"..."

Perhaps knowing that a great battle was imminent, Mikaela transferred most of the pure magic power within the Holy Grail to the other ' Mikaela's, who would then become the true main force.

Although Mikaela himself felt that his strength was quite good, he relied mostly on external forces.

In a 1v1 situation, Mikaela felt that she was very likely to lose to the Lion King.

Unlike his counterparts in other worlds and timelines, he no longer relies on transformations but instead specializes in a single weapon, striving to become as close as possible to one of the characters.

In this situation, their strength increases rapidly. Take Mikaela, who holds the 'Nietono no Shana', for example. He has already signed contracts with three Crimson Realm Demon God, and his true strength may even surpass that of the so-called 'Creation God', reaching a completely new realm.

That's why she completely disregarded the Lion King; someone of that caliber was no longer worthy of his attention.

'Mikaela', holding a dandelion, also said that she had entered a completely new realm, and that slaughtering gods was no problem for her.

And then there's 'Mikaela,' who wore a kimono and got Enma Ai pregnant. Although she didn't say how strong she was, the fact that she could survive in Hell and even receive special privileges personally granted by the Lord of Hell suggests that her strength must have reached a terrifying level.

The same is true for most other people to some extent.

'Thinking about it carefully, I'm still quite pathetic.' Mikaela chuckled to himself, as if realizing that among all the 'Mikaela' here, he was the weakest, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
