Limitations / As You Wish ...

After exchanging only one or two blows with the Lion King, Mikaela from this world quickly retreated and sighed slightly, realizing that her strength was still too weak.

"It's nothing." 'Mikaela', holding the Black Long Key, smiled slightly. She inserted the key into the void, looked at the arrows falling like raindrops, and said calmly, "We are 'one person' to begin with, so this kind of help is nothing at all."

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

As the space trembled, tentacles stretched out from the void, immediately blocking the arrows as soon as they appeared.

"Click." 'Mikaela', holding the Black Long Key, twisted the key slightly, and countless tentacles appeared in front of the Purification Knight.

"Huh? It didn't work?"

Mikaela, holding the Black Long Key, was somewhat surprised, because she had no intention of attacking the walls built by the Purification Knight, but instead planned to attack the people inside.

To her surprise, the tentacles failed to invade.

"Well, whatever, this might be more interesting." But despite the surprise, 'Mikaela' continued to command her tentacles to pound against the walls built by the Purification Knight.

Each tentacle possesses immense power; the force of a single strike from one tentacle is such that even ordinary Heroic Spirit would not choose to take it head-on.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

However, the defenses built by the Purification Knight were indeed formidable. Despite the frantic pounding of the tentacles, the city walls only became more illusory and did not suffer any substantial damage.

Chapter 422 Restrictions

"Interesting." A hint of interest flashed in 'Mikaela's' eyes as she held the Black Long Key, even though she was currently traveling with Abigail.

But during her travels, she didn't actually encounter anything that could withstand the continuous attacks from the tentacles head-on.

Unexpectedly, after being summoned, she was unable to break through the defense formed by a thousand Purification Knight.

This is quite interesting in a way.

Seeing this, Agravain did not mock, but said calmly, "Although it is only imitating Sir Galahad's Noble Phantasm, such defensive power cannot be easily destroyed even by Anti-City Noble Phantasm."

"Excalibur —!!!"

No sooner had Agravain finished speaking than 'Mikaela', wielding the Excalibur, unleashed her Noble Phantasm without a word, sending a golden torrent rushing toward the defenses formed by the Purification Knight.

"Boom--!!"

Standing in front, Gawain could no longer stand idly by. He drew his Excalibur Galatine and unleashed his Noble Phantasm!

"The Excalibur Galatine —!!!"

The Excalibur Galatine is the sister sword of Excalibur, and their power is roughly equal in some respects.

However, Excalibur is a focused, Anti-City Noble Phantasm, while Excalibur Galatine is a Noble Phantasm used to wipe out approaching enemy troops.

Although it weakened Excalibur's power by a portion, the golden torrent still struck the defenses erected by the Purification Knight without any resistance.

"Bang—!!"

With the sound of explosions, the defenses erected by the Purification Knight appeared to be crumbling, as if they were about to be destroyed.

"Second group, go." Agravain calmly gave the order, seemingly unsurprised, since a fake 'Noble Phantasm' couldn't possibly be more powerful than the original.

Even without Gawain's help, if Agravain were to be hit head-on by the My King's Noble Phantasm, he would have a way to withstand the attack.

At worst, we can sacrifice a thousand front-line Purification Knight who are specifically responsible for defense, and let the Purification Knight in the back line take the lead in setting up the defense.

At Agravain's command, the Purification Knight in the front who were responsible for resistance immediately retreated, while the second group of Purification Knight responsible for defense immediately stepped forward to continue forming a defense.

The Purification Knight in charge of archery continued to fire arrows like robots, even though their arrows were intercepted by tentacles that appeared out of nowhere. They did not stop their actions, as if continuing in this way would surely bring them a reward.

"Shall we continue?" The Lion King casually flicked his spear, deflecting 'Mikaela' who Gae Bolg, and then said in a calm tone, "If it's just an attack like this, then it's not enough to defeat me."

The Lion King could tell that none of these 'people' were displaying their true strength, such as 'Mikaela' who was wielding the same weapon as him.

The opponent's Gae Bolg has never released its true name, putting it in a very weak position.

Moreover, the Lion King also noticed that most of the 'Mikaela' did not personally take action, but were merely watching the show.

Don't they want to take action?

No, that's not it; it's just that they can't make a move for the time being.

As for why?

The Lion King watched as 'Mikaela' used the Black Long Key. She kept using her power to block the arrows falling from the sky, and perhaps because of the repeated use of her power, her body became ethereal.

Including 'Mikaela' who previously used Excalibur, her 'existence' seemed to vanish the instant she used her Noble Phantasm.

Although the Lion King was angered by Mikaela earlier, she maintained absolute composure on the battlefield.

"I know that this kind of attack cannot defeat you." Holding the Gae Bolg, 'Mikaela' looked directly into the Lion King's eyes and said calmly, "As an 'individual,' you should know that if I had used my full strength, we wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Your true form is not in this world, but I look forward to fighting you."

The Lion King spoke calmly, her actions ruthless. The Gae Bolg in her hand, emanating a chilling aura, and immense magical power flowed from her body into the holy spear.

"However, I'll let you leave now." The Lion King gripped the Gae Bolg, aiming it at the 'Mikaela's', intending to test whether her theory was correct.

"Are we going to go all out?"

From the very beginning, 'Mikaela', wielding the Gae Bolg, was not surprised. If they continued fighting in this manner, there would be no result even by the second day.

"I've been giving it my all from the very beginning," the Lion King said calmly. She seemed to have sensed something, and without another word Gae Bolg in her hand and thrust it backward.

"Clang--!!"

With a crisp clang of metal striking metal, 'Mikaela', wielding Black Stone Longsword, appeared behind her without her noticing.

"Have I been discovered?" 'Mikaela', holding the Black Stone Longsword, frowned slightly. His sneak attack had failed. As expected, if it wasn't his true form, his concealment was greatly reduced.

If it were the real person who came, they wouldn't have been able to be detected in that instant.

"That was close." The Lion King said in a very calm tone, as if such an attack posed little threat to her.

"Buzz!" A subtle energy fluctuation flashed from 'Mikaela', who was holding the Gae Bolg.

The once unremarkable Gae Bolg has now revealed its true form.

"Can you still hold on?" 'Mikaela' holding the Hozuki dandelion looked at Mikaela from this world, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and asked, "Although we only extract magic power, extracting a large amount of magic power in this situation is still somewhat harmful to you."

The reason why the 'Mikaela' were able to fight Goetia so freely before was entirely because of the entity that provided them with magic power at that time.

It could be the Holy Grail given by Artoria Altera, or the one-time magical power used by Fujimaru Ritsuka with Command Seal, or Mikaela was in a spirit state at the time and could use her own magical power at will.

At that time, Mikaela was not in her true form, so she could use magic to support 'them' without restraint.

Now it's different. Now he himself is the core of all 'Mikaela's' magic. Giving up so much magic at once is a bit overwhelming for him.

While the quantity was plentiful, the tubes responsible for transmitting magic power were simply not big enough.

"It's alright, enough for the two of you to fight." Mikaela calculated her current magical energy levels and said with a hint of helplessness, "I didn't expect to realize my physical disadvantages only now that we've reached this point in the battle."

If Mikaela were in her Heroic Spirit form instead of her 'Living' form, she could send 'heroes' charging forward and unleash their ultimate attack to instantly kill the Lion King!

Chapter 423 As You Wish

This body is still too weak.

At this moment, Mikaela truly felt what it meant to be willing but powerless. No matter how much magic you have, you can't transfer all of your magic into 'your' bodies in one go.

Unless Mikaela pulls out her heart directly, taking out the Holy Grail from within her body and letting them absorb magic power at will, like in the prologue of Fuyuki City.

Of course, such an outcome could result in a rapid depletion of magic power, with over a decade's worth of magic power being inexplicably absorbed.

These are not the most important things!

Most importantly, the Holy Grail within Mikaela is now constantly filtering the Holy Grail that Goetia gave to Amon.

Once the Holy Grail is removed from one's body, the process of filtering magical impurities will be forcibly stopped.

Moreover, now is not the time for the real decisive battle. Although Mikaela is openly fighting against the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table, he is actually stalling for time.

Of course, the Lion King must have noticed this as well, so she released the power of the Holy Lance at this moment, intending to make 'Mikaela' take down a few people first.

The Holy Lance clashed with the Holy Lance. 'Mikaela,' wielding the Gae Bolg, fought against the Lion King, their eyes locked.

They exchanged dozens of blows in just a few seconds, fighting back and forth as if they were evenly matched.

"Clang--!!"

With a crisp clang of metal striking metal, Mikaela, wielding the Gae Bolg, was knocked back a step. After unleashing the power of the holy spear, the gap in strength between the two had narrowed considerably.

"In a way, you are truly terrifying." Holding the Gae Bolg, 'Mikaela' took a deep breath. With the help of the magic provided by 'herself' in this world, she had already unleashed the strongest power of this body.

Even so, it couldn't inflict the slightest harm on the Lion King.

"Boom--!!"

However, the Lion King didn't want to waste words with 'Mikaela'. After she had roughly tested the full strength of this 'individual', a golden light flashed in her eyes, and an astonishing magical fluctuation erupted from her body.

Mana Burst! —A!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the Lion King vanished from her spot, transforming into a blur as she charged toward 'Mikaela' at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"!!!!" Holding the Gae Bolg, 'Mikaela's' pupils contracted slightly. She quickly retreated, but it seemed to be too late.

The magical energy emanating from the Lion King enhanced her physical abilities several times over, and the holy spear in her hand emitted terrifying power.

"It's too late to leave now." The Lion King said calmly, watching 'Mikaela' retreat rapidly. "I've already anticipated your actions. If nothing unexpected happens, you only have one path left to take."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lion King suddenly slammed on the brakes, his body moving as nimbly as a swallow as he leaped backward.

"Boom!" Several dark blue, icy fire pillars shot out from the ground.

If the Lion King hadn't retreated, she would have inevitably encountered that Azure Flame filled with the aura of death, even though she didn't want to encounter this flame from the Valley of Death.

The Lion King, who had forcibly stopped himself, looked calmly to the side and said indifferently, "To be honest, your actions are annoying."

The moment just now was the perfect opportunity to kill 'Mikaela,' who wielded the Gae Bolg, but 'Mikaela,' who had inherited the qualifications of Grand Assassin and was hiding in the shadows, saw through my actions and successfully stopped me.

"Likewise, your calm judgment is truly admirable." 'Mikaela,' wielding the Black Stone Longsword, had a blue flame burning in her left eye. She looked calmly at the Lion King and said, "Right now, I certainly wouldn't be your match in a head-on confrontation."

When it came to the fact that he was no match for the Lion King in a direct confrontation, 'Mikaela', who was holding the Black Stone Longsword, seemed quite helpless. If his true form could come to this world, what would he have to fear from the so-called Lion King!

"However, the situation is a little different if it's three against one."

'Mikaela', holding the Nietono no Shana, walked out calmly, followed by 'Mikaela' wielding the Heavenly Fire Greatsword.

"..." The Lion King frowned, looking at the two 'Mikaela' and seemingly finding them so shameless for the first time.

In fact, the two 'Mikaela' already posed a certain threat to her, which is why she just wanted to kill one of the 'Mikaela' immediately and then deal with the Grand 'Mikaela' hiding nearby as quickly as possible.

"Hey! You guys are shameless!" Mordred rushed over without saying a word when she saw this. She had originally wanted to recover her strength before helping her Father King.

I can't believe they're so shameless! Two against one is bad enough, but now it's three against one!

A war of attrition!

"..." Tristan did not speak. He stood quietly in place, waiting for the opportunity that 'My King' had spoken of.

He now has a death wish and no longer wants to fight; he can still accept fighting to the death with the Round Table members.

Even Tristan in his reversed state would never have dared to point his weapon at the My King he served.

This is why Tristan never attacked Mikaela from the very beginning, but instead passively took the hits!

"You rest here." Gawain saw through Tristan's thoughts. He didn't say much, but silently took the Excalibur Galatine and followed Mordred.

As the Agravain naturally wouldn't go out with Gawain and Mordred to fight the 'Mikaela's'.

When Gawain and Mordred went into battle, 'Mikaela,' who had previously fought the Lion King, stopped Mordred with her spear and said calmly, 'We meet again, Mordred.'

"Get out of my way!" Mordred's face was extremely ugly. She now had no good feelings towards Arthur except for the Lion King!

"Gawain, you might be a good candidate for training." 'Mikaela', holding the Ice Lotus Sword, set her sights on Gawain.

"Excuse me."

Gawain Excalibur Galatine tightly in his hand. He looked at the 'Mikaela' with donkey ears, suppressed his urge to complain, and said very seriously, "For my My King, I will defeat you at all costs."

"Similarly, I also want to test just how powerful the sun really is." Holding the Ice Lotus Sword, 'Mikaela' calmly looked at Gawain and said, "I have already seen the suns created by Goetia and Ramesses II. Now I hope you can put some pressure on me."

"As you wish." Gawain smiled.
