As a subject, I am unable to truly provide support to my My King; how is this any different from my life?

"Don't worry, I'll give you a chance." 'Mikaela', who was holding the Ice Lotus Sword, saw through Gawain's thoughts.

He said calmly, "I'm just using you to hone my swordsmanship. Once I feel I'm ready, I'll give you the opportunity to serve me. So you have to fight me with all your might, instead of just watching over there and fighting me half-heartedly."

At this point, 'Mikaela' unleashed a blade of icy energy, forcing Gawain to take a few steps back. He continued, "If you fight me with a perfunctory attitude, then even if I am forcibly defeated and forced to leave the stage, 'I' will leave you here."

The word "I" in this context is full of malice. Even if Gawain suddenly unleashes his power and kills Ice Lotus Sword, the other "Mikaela" will rush up to stop Gawain.

After all, besides 'him', there are still five 'Mikaela's' who haven't made a move yet!

"...I'm sorry to offend you." Gawain immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and said with a serious expression, "I will do my best to make you feel happy."

"It's not about pleasure. I'm not some Gilgamesh, pleasure-loving priest." 'Mikaela', holding the Ice Lotus Sword, seemed somewhat speechless. He just wanted to hone his combat skills.

Unlike other 'Mikaela', she is currently imprisoned in the Sea of Quanta, where she has no worries about food and drink.

However, if they want to fight, they can basically only rely on the phantom of the previous generation named 'Sakura' to fight.

That being named 'Sakura' possesses terrifying strength. If she were in this world, she would probably be a top-tier powerhouse comparable to the Lion King.

The opponent can unleash sword techniques that freeze space, and possesses abilities similar to spatial teleportation, making them extremely troublesome! Moreover, every move is a fatal strike.

Although it was just an illusion and couldn't do much damage to 'Mikaela', he still felt he needed more training instead of spending every day fighting against an illusion from the past.

"Understood, I will do my best to hone your combat skills." Gawain said with his usual seriousness.

"You..." At this moment, 'Mikaela' was at a loss for words, but he didn't want to waste any more time. He disappeared from his spot and turned into a blur as he pounced on Gawain.

"Lancelot".

An angry voice rang out from afar. Agravain had not yet stepped out from behind the protective wall of the Purification Knight. He looked at the Round Table's First Knight opposite him and said with sarcasm, "As expected, your so-called loyalty is nothing but betrayal of my My King."

Although he envied Lancelot for making such a decision, Agravain did not intend to show his envy.

"... No matter what you say, nothing can change my determination to defeat the Lion King." Lancelot knew that his betrayal was a fact, but he had no intention of admitting his mistake.

Just kidding! His daughter and the My King are watching right there! How could he possibly apologize to the 'enemy'?!

"No, I'm curious, what is it that allows you to barely suppress your 'sin'?" Agravain looked at Lancelot and said with a self-deprecating tone, "You are the same as us. We who killed our fellow members of the Round Table have embarked on a path of no return."

Apart from Mordred, Agravain, Gawain, Tristan all felt intense regret and shame upon seeing Mikaela.

They knew perfectly well that the true king was 'Mikaela', but they dared not acknowledge him, or rather... they were too ashamed to face the true king.

However, Lancelot has now overcome this, which is what surprised Agravain the most.

Although I had considered this possibility, after all, this man has a criminal record!

"That's because Galahad has arrived!" Lancelot said with a booming voice, "Because Galahad stands by the King's side, I feel it's necessary for me to act alongside the King!"

"Galahad? Has he arrived?" Agravain's originally gloomy face now showed a more complicated expression.

The purest Knights of the Round Table arrive and stand beside the King, along with Bedivere, who is fighting Tristan.

So, they were the knights who betrayed the king.

Chapter 429 Ella! You are the card I want most.

"I've almost recovered."

Mikaela of this world let out a long sigh. He still held the pseudo- Divine Declaration in his hand and said in a very subtle tone, "Although I borrowed the power of Chaldea in terms of magic, even so, I will not Chaldea."

"Is it necessary to force myself?" Olga Marie seemed to have a headache.

Fujimaru Ritsuka to the side, chuckled awkwardly, momentarily at a loss for words.

While Agravain and Lancelot were arguing, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mikaela signed a contract to share magic power equally.

Thanks to Fujimaru Ritsuka's arrival, Mikaela was spared the awkward situation of being confined to her spot as a magical core, protected by the other 'Mikaela's'.

"This isn't about forcing it, it's about not having to," Mikaela corrected Olga Marie, his tone calm. "Because Chaldea already has Master, what would I do there? Be your henchman?"

"It's not impossible," Olga Marie muttered under her breath. According to a certain overtime Zhuge Liang wished to remain anonymous, as long as Mikaela Chaldea, it wouldn't matter what her reasons were.

Once the other party confirms their participation, they can become a true ace.

However, no matter what Olga Marie says now, Mikaela will not and is unwilling to Chaldea.

Although forced love is never sweet, it's thirst-quenching!! Olga Marie is incredibly craving Mikaela.

This is a true trump card. Even without Chaldea's intervention in the Sixth Singularity, the enemy could probably have perfectly resolved Singularity.

And that was indeed the case. After the Chaldea group arrived, it seemed that... they offered no help other than sightseeing.

If we had to pinpoint any help she received, it would probably be Mash's intervention in subduing Lancelot.

However, regarding this credit...

"Wow, that's amazing. Each of these 'clones' possesses the power of a first-rate or top-tier Servant." Doctor Roman, sitting to the side, looked at the analyzed data and exclaimed in amazement, "If nothing unexpected happens, they're probably capable of fighting against Servant of Lancelot's caliber."

"Not only that, that being called the Lion King is a god!"

"The person fighting her is also quite strong. Judging from the fluctuations coming from Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, the scale of this battle is only slightly weaker than that of the King of Magic."

"No, no, no, according to Professor Reif, neither the King of Magic nor Miss Mikaela were able to unleash their true power at that time, because the Singularity was facing destruction, and both sides were extremely restrained in their methods."

"This Singularity is not like Fuyuki, which was on the verge of destruction. Judging from the intensity of the attacks from both sides, they were going all out."

There was a flurry of discussion within Chaldea. Olga Marie sighed deeply, unsure of what to say. After all, this powerful being was right before their eyes, someone they could reach out and grab.

As it turned out, the other party was unwilling to Chaldea, which left Olga Marie feeling extremely troubled and helpless.

"Just let things take their course~" Da Vinci couldn't help but laugh when he saw Olga Marie's dejected look. "Besides, isn't Ritsuka a very good Master? She's Master acknowledged by many Servant, so why are you only looking at Mikaela?"

"Yes, Ritsuka is a good Master." Doctor Roman nodded as well. Compared to Mikaela, who plagiarized 'himself', Doctor Roman preferred Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka, Doctor Roman felt that as an ordinary person, she had done everything in her power.

This fighting spirit made Doctor Roman's liking for Fujimaru Ritsuka increase several times over. If she weren't so busy, he might have recommended Magical Merih to her to relieve stress!

"If you force him too much, he might not like it, so just let things take their course." Seeing that Olga Marie seemed to want to say something more, Da Vinci continued with a smile, "Besides, if you hadn't forcibly brought Fujimaru Ritsuka here, he would definitely Chaldea after he came out of seclusion. He's a sincere person."

"If I hadn't brought Fujimaru Ritsuka with me, who knows how long she would have been in seclusion? By then, I would probably be dead."

Thinking about this, Olga Marie couldn't help but wail, "What the hell is this?!"

If we don't bring Fujimaru Ritsuka over, she'll most likely die on her first mission.

Mash might still be alive at that time, and the others might have survived as well. Once Mikaela officially awakens, everything will get back on track.

But... the problem is!! She's gone!!!

She's gone! What's the point then?!

"Sigh, let's try again. If it doesn't work, then forget it." Olga Marie understood this principle perfectly well.

According to her father's records, Mikaela was destined to become the captain of Team A.

[He is a top choice in terms of both strength and intelligence, but unfortunately his weaknesses are too obvious. It's a pity, but if it weren't for these weaknesses, I wouldn't have been able to win him over.]

This is a passage written in the Chaldea Secret Files. Originally, Olga Marie did not understand what a weakness was.

From her perspective, Mikaela was practically perfect. She possessed immense strength and intelligence that rivaled anyone else's. In the event of a crisis, she could always minimize its impact.

During the battle in Fuyuki City, both Olga Marie and the Chaldea members could sense the rationality of the other side's task allocation.

Moreover, the plan ultimately succeeded. Even when the King of Magic, King Solomon, appeared, he immediately sent Fujimaru Ritsuka with Mash and Olga Marie's souls to leave first, while he stayed behind to cover the rear.

However, after Professor Reif betrayed her again, Olga Marie realized that Mikaela's only weakness was that he was... too sentimental.

He will repay those who have helped him tenfold.

Emiya Kiritsugu is a good example.

Originally prepared to die in the Holy Grail War, he inexplicably won the Holy Grail War after a series of strange 'events,' and even won twice in a row!

Of course, this doesn't come without a price; for example, Mr. Emiya would choose to 'run away' whenever he sees Mrs. Irisviel.

If Mikaela were devoid of humanity, she would be a being without any weaknesses; nothing could threaten her except for absolute force.

"Let's give it one last try." Da Vinci was amused by Olga Marie. She laughed and said, "You look just like a player in a gacha game. One last try and you're sure to get something good."

"But the reality is cruel. Right now, the other party has everything we need. Apart from a high amount of magic power, it seems like we have nothing that can move them."

Chapter 430 Holy Lance - Anchor Pulled!

Mikaela didn't know what Chaldea was thinking.

Even if he found out, he would just laugh it off and then ignore it.

He is not perfect; he is a flawed being. The notion of him being perfect is merely a perspective from Chaldea's point of view.

If possible, Mikaela would not participate in the Holy Grail War or get involved in any Singularity, because those things can kill people.

Mikaela prefers a simple life to doing dangerous things.

The years Mikaela spent at the Fujimaru family were the most comfortable days of her life. Not only her, but all the other 'Mikaela's' in the world had a deep-seated desire for a peaceful life.

For example, there's a woman named 'Mikaela' who wore a kimono and got Enma Ai pregnant. She once said that she was very satisfied with her current life.

Because Hell Girl's life is dull and boring, but also full of peace.

He was rarely entrusted with any major tasks. Even if something significant happened, the powerful figures in Hell would handle it themselves and not delegate it to him.

Although his living conditions are already very good now, 'Mikaela', who is wearing a kimono, has sighed more than once that it would be best if she could go back.

This is Mikaela, a being who seems strong and intelligent, but all he has ever wanted is a peaceful life.

"Sister Ella, are you going to fight?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked suddenly as she looked at Mikaela who had stood up. Originally, Sister Ella was protected by the other 'Mikaela's' and did not fight against the Purification Knight and the Knights of the Round Table.

Now that she has signed a contract with Sister Ella and the magic problem has been temporarily resolved, it seems that Ella is also planning to join the battle.

"Kindness."

Mikaela nodded slightly as he looked around at the battle scene: the Purification Knight were fighting the Sphinx, and the 'Mikaela's' were fighting the Knights of the Round Table.

Lancelot and Bedivere also clashed with Tristan and Agravain.

Aside from the Lion King's side, the battle situation can be said to have completely tilted in Mikaela's favor.

"We cannot move forward without fighting." Mikaela turned around, patted Fujimaru Ritsuka's head, and said calmly, "And so am I. For my journey to 'go home,' I must continue to fight until my goal is completely achieved."

"You are the same, Ritsuka. You are the last Master of humanity, and no one can change that."

Mikaela looked directly into Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, as if she were seeing 'her' from another timeline, and chuckled, "You will grow up someday and become someone even better than me."

After saying these words, Mikaela took flight and headed towards the Lion King; it was time to bring this battle to a close.

"That's really impressive."

Holding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, he was slightly out of breath, clearly having just fought the Lion King and expended considerable effort.

At this moment, his burning eyes and inflammation had disappeared, and the pendant hanging around his neck was gone.

The Lion King was also clearly not in good condition; her armor was charred black, and her mount, East Starion, was also seriously injured.

"If I were to come in my true form, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything to you for a while, unless I use my 'transformation' ability." For the first time, 'Mikaela', who was holding the Nietono no Shana, acknowledged the Lion King's strength.

After all, the opponent is truly powerful, and in his current state, he has already reached a level close to his normal strength.

Logically speaking, in this state, killing a top-tier Servant would be a very simple matter, but unexpectedly, after spending so much effort, he could only cause the Lion King a little trouble.

"..."

Silently, the Lion King no longer wanted to say anything more. She raised the Gae Bolg in her hand and charged towards 'Mikaela'.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, 'Mikaela', wielding the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, blocked the Lion King's attack. He looked back and calmly said, "It's about time you went back and let the next 'person' take your place."

"Whoosh—!!"

With a flash of cold light, the Lion King piloted the East Starion to dodge, creating some distance between himself and the 'Mikaela's'.

Mikaela, wielding Black Stone Longsword, appeared in the arena. A hint of regret seemed to flash in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

After all, this wasn't the first time he had failed to attack his opponent. The Lion King was far too vigilant; every time he launched an attack, no matter what advantage his opponent gained, they would instinctively dodge him.

To be fair, he only needs to strike once! One strike is enough!
