Tower of Radiance! The Holy Grail! / Eat My Pyramid!

The fact that the Holy Lance would actively defend against Mikaela's attacks is not a very interesting phenomenon.

The Holy Lance provides a very powerful boost to the Lion King.

Immortality, ultimate protection, spiritual assimilation into divinity.

The Holy Lance is indeed powerful, but it lacks self-awareness and operates like a machine.

Mikaela's attack just now clearly triggered the Holy Lance's self-protection mechanism, which is why it didn't succeed.

"Strong? I don't think I'm very strong, I'm just unlucky," Mikaela said calmly. She could transform into just too many different characters.

Although her ability to use Hozuki was blocked by the Holy Lance, aside from her initial surprise, she didn't show much unusual reaction.

If you think about it carefully, this seems to be a very normal thing, because both the Holy Lance and the Holy Sword have the power to keep the body young.

Unlike the Holy Sword, which forcibly freezes the host's body and prevents her from growing, the Holy Sword is different.

The Holy Lance allows the host to continue growing until they reach their physical peak, and then, like the Holy Sword, freezes them at that point.

The Lion King in front of me, like Bedivere, has lived for 1,500 years. Although he looks young and has a hot body, he is still a standard BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi).

Bedivere lived for 1,500 years, and although his body was protected by the Holy Sword, his end was quite tragic.

He turned into a human-shaped rock. Though alive, he could not move; his body was mangled and his soul was burnt-out ashes.

For this knight in 1500, living was a true form of suffering, but he did not fall because of his inner determination.

The Lion King's situation is more encouraging. 1500 years have passed, and she still maintains her physical peak, unlike Bedivere who suffered a miserable fate. This shows that the Holy Lance has the same effect as the Holy Sword.

"Luck is part of strength," the Lion King said calmly, looking at Mikaela with a serene expression.

The fact that the opponent's attack failed was a good thing. If it had succeeded, she had a feeling that she would be in a lot of trouble.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Lion King and Mikaela moved simultaneously and charged towards each other.

"You're not as strong as me." Mikaela approached the Lion King and said the obvious thing, raising the dandelion in her hand as she spoke.

"If all you have is strength, then this victory is already mine."

If it were the Lion King from before, she would definitely have remained calm and not spoken to Mikaela, because she knew that a battle could not be won by mere words.

But now that she has spoken, Mikaela also becomes serious the moment she speaks, and begins to pay attention to the Lion King's next move.

A person, or rather, an absolutely rational being, will not utter 'nonsense' without reason.

Mikaela spoke to put some pressure on the Lion King. Although this level of pressure wouldn't cause her any trouble, it was better than doing nothing.

The Lion King, on the other hand, never uttered any nonsense from the start of the battle. She would either start fighting or say some 'nonsense' during breaks.

But she actually spoke during the battle, which means she's bound to make a move next.

Each of them was lost in their own thoughts; a battle between masters often lasts only a moment.

Being able to think of so many things in a short time is almost a kind of contest.

Mikaela skillfully swung the dandelion in her hand, looking calmly at the Lion King.

The Lion King also raised the Gae Bolg, looking calmly at Mikaela, her image reflected in his eyes.

"Buzz—!!!"

A beautiful golden ray of light surrounded the Gae Bolg.

"!!!" At this moment, Mikaela understood what the other party's purpose was.

"Holy Lance, pull anchor." The Lion King uttered four words calmly. The distance between them was not particularly far; they could reach each other in the blink of an eye.

This is an opportunity for both sides: either Mikaela will be Gae Bolg, or they will be knocked away by the other.

"You're too slow!" Mikaela understood the Lion King's thoughts. She increased the speed at which she swung the dandelion. In this situation, if she were to take the direct hit of the Gae Bolg, she would likely be seriously injured.

Although the Hozuki possesses extremely powerful regenerative and self-healing abilities, these are not the reasons why Mikaela stood still and took a beam of light.

Would someone be hit by a missile just because they think they won't die?

There is clearly no such person.

"No, you're too slow." The Lion King smiled, a rare occurrence for her, and said calmly, "Indeed, my plan was correct."

"Boom--!!!!"

A scorching beam of light hurtled toward Mikaela from behind at an unimaginable speed. Not far away, the Sun Knight, Gawain, revealed a satisfied smile.

He... ultimately made it to the final battle.

"Is that all?" Mikaela ignored the Excalibur Galatine converging behind her. Although she was shocked by Gawain's arrival, she wasn't alone.

"Heavenly Fire! Unsheath!"

Mikaela, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally stopped. Wielding the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, Mikaela stood in the center and swung it. An unimaginable sea of fire instantly engulfed the Excalibur Galatine.

The terrifying heat left scorched marks on this already desolate land.

"... Goodbye." A figure appeared behind Gawain like a ghost, and without any mercy, swung down the black stone greatsword in his hand, severing Gawain's head.

Without Gawain's continued support, the Excalibur Galatine, which had been relentlessly bolstered by the sun, was consumed by flames.

"I am satisfied." At the moment his head fell to the ground, Gawain did not complain or resent; he simply fulfilled his wish.

At least in the end, he provided a genuine assist to our My King, even though that assist seemed so dirty.

"Bang!" In the final battle, Mikaela emerged victorious, swinging her dandelion and sending the Lion King flying.

However, the Lion King also got the result he wanted.

Even as she was knocked away, she did not let go of the Gae Bolg. She pointed it at Mikaela and said in a calm tone, "Gae Bolg."

Chapter 443 The Tower of Radiance! The Holy Grail!

Gawain's appearance did not have much impact on the battle. His presence merely forced the other two 'Mikaela' to launch an attack, depleting their magical energy.

'Mikaela,' wielding the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, was about to dissipate. He had launched a powerful attack, but it had consumed too much of his own energy.

Mikaela, who was holding the Nietono no Shana, walked over and chuckled as she looked at Mikaela holding the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment. "Looks like I'm not the first one to leave."

He cut off the magic supplied to the other 'Mikaela' when Mikaela began the battle.

This restored the other 'Mikaela's' to their original state, allowing them to unleash a powerful attack before it was time for them to leave the stage.

Previously, 'Mikaela', who was holding Nietono no Shana, unleashed several powerful attacks in succession with the magical power provided by the Mikaela of this world. However, after 'myself' in this world took the stage, the magical power stopped being replenished.

As a result, 'Mikaela,' who is currently holding Nietono no Shana, is about to leave the stage after using a small skill, although her body has not yet dissipated.

In contrast, 'Mikaela', who wields the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, is in a much worse state. Her attack just now has exhausted all her magic power, and it's about time for her to leave the stage.

"Well, I also need to take care of my business." However, 'Mikaela', who wielded the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, didn't say much about it, since it wasn't a big deal.

Moreover, the battle situation here was no longer in any major danger, and he felt that there was no need for him to stay here.

"..."

On the other side, Mikaela was Gae Bolg, her clothes were torn open, revealing her snow-white skin.

As her snow-white skin was revealed, blood flowed from her body, but soon a surge of life energy erupted from her body, completely healing her injuries.

Aside from the injuries, the clothes that had been damaged by the Gae Bolg were naturally restored in the next moment.

"Blooming Flowers" is Hozuki's passive skill. As long as the opponent's attack cannot kill her instantly, she will absorb the opponent's attack to restore her own injuries.

"Pop~"

A crisp sound rang out, and the Lion King clutched his chest, discovering a ball of green light being drawn from her body and rushing towards Mikaela.

The Lion King seemed to sense something. She Gae Bolg in her hand, intending to pierce the green orb of light, but it was no use; the opponent was flying too fast.

As she thrust out the Gae Bolg, the opponent had already entered Mikaela's body.

When the green light entered Mikaela's body, her complexion improved significantly, while the Lion King's complexion inexplicably worsened.

"As expected, I wasn't wrong." Mikaela smiled and looked at the Lion King, continuing, "Since we can't absorb your life force from a distance, how about smashing the weapon directly onto you? Would that absorb your life force?"

Using Absorb remotely will cause the Gae Bolg to be passively blocked.

If you throw dandelions directly at the Lion King, can you draw life force from her?

The answer is yes!

"Your body is really tough." The Lion King looked at Mikaela's almost unharmed body and fell into deep thought. She had already used all the means she could at this stage.

The situation is now at a stalemate. The Lion King can either use his Noble Phantasm to instantly kill the enemy.

Alternatively, they could use close combat to create openings, then use wind-based Noble Phantasm and close-range Holy Lance to kill their opponents.

But now, all three methods have failed. The opponent has a way to block the Blazing Gae Bolg.

Using close combat to create openings, the opponent's strength was far greater than he had imagined, and he also possessed that strange ability to drain his life force.

Releasing the Holy Lance at close range is an attack that most people cannot withstand; even Gawain would be instantly injured. But what did the Lion King just see?

The other person's clothes were torn, and multiple wounds appeared on their body. The wounds healed instantly the moment they appeared.

This left the Lion King speechless for a moment. Mikaela's physical condition and recovery ability were simply too strong, and she had no idea where to begin.

Moreover, the opponent's attack could be very effective against him. The moment his life force was drained, the Lion King clearly felt that he was in danger.

This feeling was very subtle. The Lion King had never sensed danger throughout the long years, but this time he clearly felt it.

"Likewise, you're very strong too." Mikaela glanced at the Lion King's armor. After being hit by two dandelion attacks, the armor only showed slight signs of damage and did not break completely.

Her clothes had just been Gae Bolg, but thankfully they could regenerate. Otherwise, Mikaela thought the Lion King would have used the Gae Bolg to bombard her a few more times.

Mikaela feared she would have to fight the Lion King naked; the thought was too much for her to bear.

"The battle is over, and I seem to have already lost." The Lion King continued her attack, Gae Bolg in the ground. Her calm gaze swept into the distance, and she said in a very flat tone, "The Holy City has been captured. After losing Agravain, the Purification Knight are nothing but a disorganized mess."

"Sir Gawain, Tristan, and Mordred are all dead, and Lord Lancelot has sided with you."

"I... have finally returned to where I started." The Lion King's tone held a strange sigh; in the end, he was still all alone.

"So, you're not planning to fight anymore?" Judging from the Lion King's tone, Mikaela thought that he felt there was no point in continuing the fight.

Because this is not impossible; the Lion King has already been spiritually assimilated into a god by the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad.

Possessing absolute rationality, she knew that her actions had failed.

All efforts were in vain.

Moreover, since they cannot defeat themselves no matter how they resist, they are very likely to choose to retreat.

"Do you think it's possible?" The Lion King actually smiled, which was quite rare for her, but her smile seemed a little stiff, as if she hadn't smiled in a long time.

"Although reason tells me that retreating now might be a better option, since you gentlemen are risking your lives to buy time and win this battle, perhaps... I should act irrationally."

The Lion King gripped the Gae Bolg with both hands, whereas previously she had always held it with one hand.

"The Tower of Radiance will descend upon this land. Even if the Holy Selection is ineffective and the Holy City has been breached by others, I will still kill you!" The Lion King gripped the Gae Bolg, and a golden light appeared on her chest.

The Holy Grail floated out from the Lion King's chest.

This is not an artificially made Holy Grail, nor is it the Holy Grail molded by Goetia; it is the Holy Grail created by God.

Chapter 444 Eat My Pyramid!

It might be an illusion, or perhaps it wasn't, but as Mikaela watched the Lion King prepare to unleash the full power of the Gae Bolg, she actually sensed his anger.

No, this isn't anger; it's a more subtle emotion, unlike the Lion King's Altria Pendragon.

On a spiritual level, the Lion King has become completely deified. As a deity, she has excellent control over her emotions and rarely loses her temper.

Altria Pendragon is about to become a 'god', retaining all the emotions of a human being; she can be angry, sad, and also joyful and hateful.

At this moment, the Lion King was preparing to fully unleash the power of the Holy Lance and had also taken out the Holy Grail from within his body.

This allowed Mikaela to see an angry presence, but the Lion King did not show his anger.

"Is it just my imagination?" Mikaela murmured to herself, but the next moment she stopped thinking about it and directly picked up the dandelion and charged towards the Lion King.

The Lion King is prepared to fight to the death, Mikaela tries to stop him.

"It's too late." The Lion King raised his holy lance high, and its dazzling light illuminated the entire sky. A pillar of light shot straight into the clouds, allowing everyone in the Singularity to see a tower of radiance.

The moment the Tower of Radiance was formed, the Holy Grail floating on the Lion King's chest made a 'crack' sound.

"Is your magic power insufficient? But it doesn't matter, I have already accumulated a lot of magic power." The Lion King noticed the Holy Grail's shattered appearance, but she didn't care. Instead, she continued calmly, "Even if it means my death here, and the end of my journey, I will restore you to your original form."
