Mikaela and the Lion King / We Can't Wait Any Longer!

"Who should we send? 'Hozuki', 'Hell Girl', or perhaps 'Judas' and 'Higanbana'?"

Holding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, he asked this question.

Since everyone is called 'Mikaela', it's very difficult to tell who someone is without some kind of nickname.

"'Higanbana', she is the one on our side who can best unleash her power." 'Mikaela' holding the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment said calmly, "During the last battle, she told me that she could temporarily unleash the power of a Herrscher in this world, and that her state could last longer than yours."

"It's no use in prolonging it. After all, we're not the original body, so our strength is limited. We can handle ordinary Servant, but against Servant of this level, we can only stall for time at most."

Holding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, it seemed to be having a headache. It wasn't that they were weak, but that the 'body' prepared for them by the Mikaela of this world was not strong enough.

Their actual strength is really limited.

"... Once the 'me' in this world can free his hand, our mission will be almost complete."

Clearly, 'Mikaela', who wields the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, is also quite helpless. There's nothing she can do but drag it out, even if she can't hold out any longer.

Everyone who is 'Mikaela' naturally knows why 'themselves' in this world are unable to take action against the Lion King.

It's all because of them.

If they weren't Blue Mana User, we could have just ganged up on them and that would have been enough. Why go through all that trouble?

"No need for 'almost,' I'm already here." It was at this moment that Mikaela from this world arrived. He looked at 'himself' and said calmly, "The Chaldea people have temporarily taken over some of my mana consumption, so I can now fight."

"Holy Lance - Anchor Pull".

The moment Mikaela arrived, the Lion King didn't waste any words. She activated her Noble Phantasm, and terrifying power erupted from the Gae Bolg.

She sensed danger.

Chapter 431 Mikaela and the Lion King

Don Starion and the Lion King soared into the sky together, golden holy light illuminating the heavens. The light curtain Gae Bolg twisted into a spiral spearhead, and all the energy was gathered by the Lion King at the spearhead.

"This is the fourth time." Mikaela, holding the Nietono no Shana, said speechlessly, "The magical power contained within her is simply outrageous. Since the start of the battle, she has unleashed her Noble Phantasm twice in a row while fighting us."

"I blocked it the first two times, but the guy with the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment blocked it the second time. Now that you're here, she's unleashing her Noble Phantasm again."

The battle between the Mikaela and the Lion King was quite short, lasting less than half an hour.

In a battle that lasted less than half an hour, the Lion King unleashed the power of the Gae Bolg three times in a row, which was quite exhausting.

It's important to understand that the Lion King was only spiritually assimilated into a god by the characteristics of the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad; his physical body was simply a result of natural growth.

Although she possesses a great deal of magic power, it is certainly not excessively so.

The Gae Bolg is no ordinary weapon; its opponent is the Anchor of Storms, which binds the stars.

Her true form is said to be a tower that holds the skin of the world together. To unleash even a fraction of her power requires an unimaginable amount of magic, let alone now that the Lion King has already unleashed most of her power.

"The true Holy Grail is probably within her, providing her with magical power." Mikaela also felt that the Lion King's ability to unleash Noble Phantasm in a short period of time was definitely not due to her own abundant magical power.

After all, there are limits to what humans can do.

Unless the Lion King also ceases to be human in his physical form, it is impossible for him to unleash so many Noble Phantasm in such a short period of time.

Despite her words, Mikaela still took out the card and said calmly, "However, she only has one Holy Grail, while I have two Holy Grail to support my magic."

With a crisp snap, Mikaela's appearance completely changed.

Her long, black hair, reaching her ankles, cascaded down her back. Her dark eyes were clear and flawless, like those of a newborn baby, without a trace of impurity. Her features were stunning, and her fair, jade-like skin and petite figure were encased in the uniform of Misaki City High School.

"Then, let's begin." Mikaela suddenly opened her eyes, which became as bright as fire. Her long black hair transformed into long hair that radiated a fiery red color. As her body stabilized, the fiery red hair, which was soft in texture, slowly stretched towards the ground and extended to her waist. As if unable to keep up with the speed of the hair, fiery red powder scattered everywhere.

A pendant radiating flames hung from her slightly protruding chest, and she held a large katana in her hand.

Crimson Flame erupted like a volcano, propelling Mikaela toward the sky.

"What a nostalgic face. It's been almost a hundred years since I've seen it." Holding the Nietono no Shana 'Mikaela', she sighed.

"..." The other two 'Mikaela' remained silent. To be honest, they didn't feel anything when they transformed themselves, but seeing 'themselves' become another person made them feel a little strange.

"I don't remember Shana being very strong. Can she withstand it?" At this moment, 'Mikaela', who was holding the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, suddenly asked.

Although "I" just used Shana's power to block the Lion King's attacks twice in a row, the other party had been in that world for an unknown amount of time and had even signed contracts with two Crimson Realm Demon God besides the Heavenly Punishment God.

Her use of power is definitely much stronger than Shana's in the original work.

"Strictly speaking, Shana's strength isn't that great, but Alastor's Divine Authority has extremely high destructive power. If we can unleash 70% of his power, we can definitely block the Lion King's attack." Holding the Nietono no Shana 'Mikaela', he calmly explained, "Moreover, even if we can't block it, do you think I, with my transformation ability, would be afraid of an attack of this level?"

"That's true." 'Mikaela', holding the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, nodded in deep agreement. If you have enough magic power, there's no need to talk about the Lion King.

Even if all the Artoria species gather together and launch a joint attack, they will not be afraid!

In the sky, Mikaela held the Nietono no Shana in one hand and the delicate pendant on her chest in the other.

'Are the enemies the guys up there?'

A deep male voice echoed in Mikaela's mind; it was the voice of the Heavenly Punishment God — Alastor.

Mikaela once transformed into Shana, but she didn't manage to bring Shana to life.

Because Mikaela didn't have the Holy Grail in her body at the time, she could only rely on the energy within her own body to support the energy consumed during the transformation.

Even now, Mikaela still can't forget that when she used Illya's Dream Summon to transform into King Hassan, she only swung her sword once.

Its own energy was almost depleted! In order to replenish its energy, it almost started 'eating people'.

Looking back now and then at the present, Mikaela truly feels that magic is a wonderful thing.

"Yes." Mikaela nodded slightly. She gripped the Nietono no Shana tightly in her hand, looked at the Lion King about to fall from the sky, and said calmly, "It's the enemy up there. I'll leave the rest to you."

"No, it's not troublesome at all." The deep male voice said calmly, "If you want to borrow my power, then take it."

"Thanks."

Mikaela didn't waste any more words, because the Lion King's attack was about to land.

"Don't mention it. In my eyes, you and that child are both very important." Alastor's voice was deep, but when he said these words...

For some reason, Mikaela sensed a subtle hint of shyness.

"Then, I'll go." Mikaela waved the Nietono no Shana in her hand, and a huge burning eye appeared above her head.

That huge, burning eye locked onto the Lion King, who was about to fall from the sky.

After absorbing Alastor's power, the pendant on Mikaela's chest emitted an astonishing heat, and the immense magical power dissipated from her body.

"Roar--!!!"

A roar from another world resounded.

Behind Mikaela, a phantom image of a fire giant appeared.

The giant wielded a flaming greatsword, while Mikaela gripped the Nietono no Shana tightly.

Relying solely on the so-called power of the Free Law, it is impossible to stop the Lion King's attack. It is necessary to use the authority of the Heavenly Punishment God to block the opponent's attack and officially sound the horn of counterattack!

"Judgment!" Mikaela waved down the Nietono no Shana.

"Gae Bolg!" The Lion King, with unstoppable momentum, swung his spear at Mikaela.

The attacks from both sides officially clashed!

"Boom--!!!!"

A mushroom cloud rose high above them.

Chapter 432 We can't wait any longer!

If the battle between the three 'Mikaela' and the Lion King was like a battle between gods, it inevitably brings to mind Ragnarok.

So this mushroom cloud, which can be felt across almost the entire Singularity, is telling everyone that this level of battle can be described as... world-destroying!

"..."

Ramesses II, inside the Grand Temple, fell silent, for he had lost sight of the battle between Mikaela and the Lion King the moment it truly began.

Although he could feel the aftershocks of the battle over there, he was now in a rather awkward situation.

He didn't act immediately because he planned to be the last to appear.

That's right! As the incarnation of Ra, how could he, Ozymandias, be like the Chaldea and those Old Man of the Mountain, rushing to help without a word the moment the battle begins?!

In order to let everyone bask in the sun's glory, he had to step forward at the last moment and fight the Lion King to the death.

Of course, everything is alright now. Ramesses II felt the aftershocks of the battle between Mikaela and the Lion King.

He discovered that their combined combat strength was the same as his own, even though he was inside the Grand Temple and had countless buffs.

If I went there, I would either be able to take advantage of the badly injured Lion King, or I would be mocked by Mikaela.

"You've arrived? I've already defeated the Lion King."

The thought of that maid saying such a thing made Ramesses II tremble with rage. Was he the kind of guy who came here specifically to pick up scraps?!

"No!"

Ramesses II suddenly stood up, looked at Nitocris and said, "No need to wait, let's set off immediately! Let these guys see what a pharaoh is like!"

He originally wanted to wait a while before going into battle, since he needed not only a grand stage but also the company of brave warriors to personally lead the fight.

Now that the stage is set and the heroes are fighting on the front lines, if this drags on, the battle might end before it's over.

So we can't wait any longer!! This is a rare opportunity! He has to act quickly.

"Yes! Lord Ozymandias!" Nitocris was also extremely excited; finally, she didn't have to sit here and watch the show!

After all, she had just thought of the same thing that Ramesses II had been pondering.

Although Nitocris had anticipated that Mikaela would be strong, she hadn't expected her to be this ridiculously strong.

To be able to fight that Lion King to such an extent, the opponent is simply inhuman!

"Lord Arash, we've come to your aid."

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Hassan lineage also arrived. As Servant who knew Arash, Hassan of the Hundred Faces immediately contacted Arash and said in a very serious tone, "We are late because of some issues that have arisen on our side."

When talking about the situation that had arisen, Hassan of the Hundred Faces's voice was filled with anger because the Shopkeeper's Daughter had left without saying goodbye, leaving her and Kyoko to investigate the surrounding situation.

When they returned to the village, they found that Cursed Arm and Serenity had already arrived.

The two arrived with very bad news: apart from the villages of Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Hassan of the Arm, and Hassan of Serenity, the villages of the other three Hassan had been destroyed.

It was the Knights of the Round Table who did this. Judging from their actions, their next target is Hassan of the Hundred Faces.

So Cursed Arm and Serenity rushed to provide support, and surprisingly, the village on Baimao's side was not invaded by the Knights of the Round Table.

This made Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Kyoko realize why the Shopkeeper's Daughter had disappeared; it turned out that she had lured away the Knights of the Round Table who were originally invading this village.

Trusting Mikaela, Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Kyoko did not underestimate the seemingly ordinary Shopkeeper's Daughter, who appeared to have no name at all.

The fact that the enemy disappeared at a crucial moment, and that the Knights of the Round Table abandoned their attack on the Mountain Village, makes the answer obvious.

Similarly, upon arriving at the scene, Hassan of the Hundred Faces and the others saw the Shopkeeper's Daughter resting nearby, confirming their suspicions.

This is why Hassan of the Hundred Faces was angry; it wasn't anger at the Shopkeeper's Daughter, but anger at himself.

Hassan of the Arm said that at least three Knights of the Round Table of the Knights of the Round Table would be involved in destroying the Mountain Village tonight.

It's important to know that a single Knights of the Round Table is capable of taking on two opponents at once, so three Knights of the Round Table together could almost wipe out the remaining Old Man of the Mountain in one fell swoop.

In this situation, three more Hassan were mercilessly killed by the Knights of the Round Table, and most of the villagers were also slaughtered.

If the Shopkeeper's Daughter hadn't intervened and lured away the Knights of the Round Table, Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Kyoko would likely have been killed.

Of course... that's exactly the future the Shopkeeper's Daughter saw.

"Well, I can roughly guess what's going on from your tone." Arash shot an arrow, killing several 'cavalry' Purification Knight in the distance. He turned to look at Hassan of the Hundred Faces and said calmly, "But now, there are many of our allies here. For example, Lancelot has become an ally, and those unfamiliar faces are from Chaldea reinforcements."

As soon as he finished speaking, Arash suddenly looked to the side where a mushroom cloud was slowly rising, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Is the Master I've chosen a little too powerful, perhaps even terrifyingly so?

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

Even if I used my full power of my Noble Phantasm, I probably couldn't achieve this scale with just this one attack.

"Is that Lady Ella?" Hassan of the Hundred Faces had clearly seen what was happening over there, and his expression beneath his mask showed great shock.

"Ah, yes, that's right." Arash nodded slightly and continued, "Anyway, that's roughly it. Just don't hurt your own troops. After all, we're all gathered here to defeat the Lion King."
