Finally, We Meet / What Are You Trying to Do?

However, the beasts' fear quickly vanished, as the giant blue ball of electricity disappeared like lightning, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Senior!"

Mash suddenly raised her shield to protect Fujimaru Ritsuka, her gaze fixed on the sky as if she sensed something terrifying.

In fact Bedivere, it wasn't just Mash, Arash, and Lancelot also protected Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately. Servant are very perceptive of danger.

A blue light flashed past their heads, causing Arash to break out in a cold sweat. He had just seen something terrifying flash past them.

If that thing had just fallen, we might have been wiped out without even realizing it.

"This is incredible." Lancelot wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at the Tower of Radiance not far away, and exclaimed, "That Sun King seems to be getting serious."

"That Noble Phantasm." Bedivere's expression was somewhat grim. Although he didn't think the Lion King would be defeated by an attack of this level, that Noble Phantasm was filled with an aura of destruction. Could the Holy Lance defend against a Noble Phantasm of this level?

If they can't defend against it, then wouldn't the Lion King...?

Just as Bedivere was worried about the Lion King's safety, with a loud 'boom,' the giant electric ball crashed into the Tower of Glory.

In that instant, blue light illuminated the entire sky, so dazzling that even the Servant couldn't help but turn their heads away.

"Let's hurry over there." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed her eyes and shouted to the Servant, "Although we don't know what the situation is over there, if we don't go, the battle may be over by then."

"You're right, senior. Hassan and Professor Reif have taken over the Holy City. Now only the Lion King is left."

Mash nodded. The situation in the Holy City was almost over. Without the help of the Knights of the Round Table, the Purification Knight couldn't cause much trouble.

With the help of Hassan and the two Demon God Pillar, the battle was completely under control. In addition, more than a dozen of the Purification Knight, who had been modified by the Gae Bolg, were killed by the two powerful Servant Lancelot and Arash. The remaining few could not affect the battle at all.

Not to mention that there is also the Starry Sky Sphinx over there, whose strength is no less than that of a first- Servant.

"Boom--!!!"

With a violent explosion, the Tower of Radiance, sandwiched between the Ramesseum Tentyris, took the brunt of the massive electric ball.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

Even the Holy Lance couldn't escape unscathed from an attack of this magnitude; several cracks appeared on the originally solid wall of light.

"Is this the EX Noble Phantasm?" Mikaela couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.

First came the sandwich attack from the Ramesseum Tentyris, followed by the destructive attack from the Dendera's Great Electric Ball. The Holy Lance is indeed very strong, but she hasn't yet reached her complete form, so it's impossible for her to withstand such a high level of attack unscathed.

The Lion King frowned deeply. She was at a loss. If she forced the Holy Lance to launch an attack, all her efforts would be in vain.

However, if the Sun King is not killed quickly, and the opponent launches several more attacks similar to the one just now, the Holy Lance's defense might actually be broken.

Moreover, Mikaela, who was watching the show from the sidelines, hadn't even made a move yet. If the other party were to make a move, her situation would be even worse.

With this in mind, the Lion King activated the Holy Lance, and more than a dozen beams of light, no weaker than the attack of Excalibur, hurtled toward Ramesses II.

"One shot isn't enough? If one shot isn't enough, then how about ten? A hundred shots?! Even if it costs me my Spirit Origin to burn, I will break through your defense!"

At that moment, Ramesses II clearly saw the Lion King's furrowed brow and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yes, that's the expression he wanted to Lion King.

"Lord Ozymandias! Attack! The Lion King's attack! I'll defend!" Nitocris was clearly prepared to fight to the death!

She was determined to defend the Pharaoh's dignity and stop the Lion King's attack.

"Then! One more!" Ramesses II naturally wouldn't refuse Nitocris's offer. He raised his hands and conjured another large ball of electricity in the Grand Temple in the desert.

Chapter 447 Finally Meeting

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

The light carried thunder, and the ear-piercing sound of lightning echoed in the sky like the cries of a thousand birds.

"Hahahaha!!! This is the second one! Lion King! How much longer can you hold on?" Ramesses II was extremely pleased at this moment, even though the second Dendra Giant Electric Ball had exhausted most of the magic power in the Grand Temple.

Although he said he would burn his Spirit Origin to create a hundred shots to attack the Lion King, without the Holy Grail at this stage, he could only condense two more Dendera Giant Electric Balls at most!

Even after burning your Spirit Origin, you can only produce a maximum of three shots!

"Clang clang clang—!!!"

On the other side, Nitocris raised the Mirror of the Underworld and forcefully blocked the attack of the Holy Lance. However, her face turned pale, and the Mirror of the Underworld appeared somewhat illusory, as if it could not hold on any longer.

"We can't wait any longer." The Lion King glanced at Mikaela below, who was still standing there watching the show. Although she couldn't ignore her, she could only temporarily ignore her for now.

"Gentlemen, do you really want to stop me?"

The Lion King looked at the lingering phantom beside her and said calmly, "Although this is not a fight for the world, nor for humanity, I still want to be selfish for once."

"For the sake of my fallen vassals, for the sake of my failed plans, I want to unleash the full power of the Holy Lance to fight against the enemy before me. Why can't you all become the power in my hands?"

"..."

The phantoms that appeared beside the Lion King did not speak. They simply remained quietly in place, as if they were merely beings without intelligence unless they met the standard for being released from their restraints.

"Very well, merely removing a few restraints is far from enough to unleash the true power of the Holy Lance. Since you all insist on stopping me, then I will understand." The Lion King raised his head, ignoring the phantoms around him, and focused his gaze outside, his expression quite calm.

With powerful enemies outside and obstacles within, Heaven intends to destroy her.

This was completely different from the scenario she foresaw, in which she was defeated without any chance of fighting back.

But now, this frustrating scene is truly disheartening.

"Boom!!!"

Another blinding blue light lit up the sky.

The Holy Lance's barrier defenses cracked further, as if they wouldn't last much longer.

"Wow, still pretty tough, huh? Then let's go for the third round! Let's see if you can hold on!" Ramesses II clearly saw this and became even more excited, even though he didn't think he could kill the Lion King.

However, he did make a significant contribution to this battle.

He also witnessed the maid's 'helplessness' and the Lion King's all-out effort. Such a scene is not something that can be seen casually, so Ramesses II is now almost satisfied.

Once he successfully breaks through the Holy Lance's defenses, he can retire gracefully.

The third giant electric ball of Dendra was coalescing. Ramesses II watched the Lion King with great interest, wondering if the other party would fight to the death, jump out of the Holy Lance's protection, and then come to kill him and Nitocris.

This possibility is extremely slim, because if the Lion King dared to jump out, the maid standing below would definitely not stand idly by.

However, if the opponent doesn't come out, the Holy Lance's defense will be broken through quickly, and then it won't matter whether she comes out or not.

"They're here? A little faster than I expected." Mikaela heard the hurried footsteps behind him, turned around, and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others calmly, saying, "I'm sorry, a friend of mine is in trouble, so I was a little anxious."

The original plan was for Mikaela to take Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group to meet up with the Old Man of the Mountain and others, and then gather all their forces to attack the Holy City.

Mikaela never expected that the Mountain People would be attacked and several Old Man of the Mountain would be killed. To prevent the village from being destroyed, the Shopkeeper's Daughter voluntarily "walked into the trap".

As everyone has seen, Mikaela arrived ahead of time and joined forces with Mordred and the Knights of the Round Table, pulling in versions of herself from different worlds and timelines to fight against the Purification Knight, the Knights of the Round Table, Lion King.

Of course, it was still quite difficult for Mikaela to deal with the Lion King and his army, who dominated Singularity, all by himself. Fortunately, the main force arrived smoothly, and he could now take a break for a while.

"No matter what happened, the outcome is good now," Arash said with a smile, clearly feeling that Mikaela hadn't done anything wrong. After all, anyone would be upset if their friend was 'kidnapped'.

"Kindness."

Lancelot nodded slightly, thinking that the matter was alright. If he had known that Mash had been kidnapped by the Lion King, he probably would have abandoned the 'King' and Bedivere to fight them to the death.

"Although I want to agree with what you said, Sister Ella, if you want to leave next time, could you please give me a hand?" Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was ashen, clearly she wasn't in a good state.

"..." Arash glanced at the other side with a somewhat subtle look in his eyes, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After all, in order to speed up the journey, he didn't have time to take care of Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was just an ordinary person. After flying 'three times' in a row, Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition had deteriorated to the extreme.

If it weren't for 'Mikaela' holding a dandelion helping with the treatment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition would definitely not be much better than before.

Even with the healing from 'Mikaela' who wields a dandelion, Fujimaru Ritsuka has only just recovered.

"Next time for sure," Mikaela replied dismissively. He could have taken Fujimaru Ritsuka with him when he left.

However, he instinctively felt that this was his own business, so he didn't bring Fujimaru Ritsuka with him.

However, I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. In fact, it didn't matter whether they came or not, because Ramesses II's side had already almost broken through the Lion King's defenses.

Once the Holy Lance's defenses are broken, it will be time for me to make my move.

"... Finally, I've met you, Your Majesty." Bedivere walked forward with a very complicated expression. He looked at the Lion King standing inside the Holy Lance, gripped his Silver Arm, and his body trembled involuntarily.

This is not a tremor of fear, but a tremor of joy.

"Don't get excited. If you run over there now, you'll likely be targeted by that Pharaoh King."

Mikaela gave Bedivere a mild warning, telling him not to act impulsively.

Ramesses II shares the same domineering and self-centered personality as Gilgamesh, and he is currently engaged in a sacred duel with the Lion King.

If Bedivere were to rush to help Ramesses II, he would likely be hit by a giant electric ball or an attack from the Night Sun Ship.

Chapter 448 What do you want to do?

"So, Sister Ella, are we just supposed to stand here and watch?" Fujimaru Ritsuka head, looking at Mikaela with some confusion. Since they couldn't go over to help Ramesses II, were they just supposed to stand there and wait for things to end?

"You can understand it that way, but once the Holy Lance's defense is broken, then we can make our move."

As Mikaela said this, his gaze suddenly fell on Arash beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked, "However, Arash should be able to go and help without incurring Ramesses II's wrath."

"??????"

The crowd around looked at Arash with considerable confusion, clearly not understanding what was going on.

"Impossible, impossible." Olga Marie's voice came from Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand. She said very seriously, "Historically, the two of them had no interaction. If Moses were here, it would be quite normal for the two of them to join forces. But what about Arash?"

Olga Marie's meaning was quite clear: from a historical perspective, Ramesses II's character was terrible, even towards acquaintances, who would suddenly be involved in a battle of this level without explanation.

Even if the other party meant well, in Ramesses II's eyes, it was an act of rudeness, which, according to the rules of his time, was punishable by death!

"I have no problem with that, but now that it's the last day, aren't we going to do something, Master?" Arash smiled, completely ignoring Olga Marie who spoke up from the side.

Before Chaldea and the others arrived, Arash told Mikaela that he had fought the Pharaoh King during a Holy Grail War.

Although he didn't remember much about what happened at the time, Arash didn't have much ill will towards the pharaoh, and the pharaoh showed a look of ecstatic joy when he saw him.

The two sides definitely know each other, but the process of getting to know each other is very likely the kind where they become friends after a fight.

"Do something? What else can you do? He's a boy." Olga Marie must have seen something that made her think of something else entirely.

"Whoosh—!!"

A flash of sword light, Olga Marie's voice disappeared completely. Fujimaru Ritsuka had a very subtle expression on her face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Lancelot and Bedivere stared wide-eyed at Mikaela, clearly not expecting this at all.

"..." Mikaela silently tossed the Black Stone Longsword aside. Just now, he had used the power of 'rules' to temporarily sever the connection between Chaldea and Fujimaru Ritsuka. Now, he looked at Arash and said in a calm tone, "Would you be willing to become my Servant?"

As she said this, Mikaela stretched out her snow-white hand and looked at Arash calmly, saying, "If it comes to a necessary moment, I may very well use Command Seal to force you to use your Noble Phantasm."

"If this is a war for peace, then I will gladly accept." Arash knelt on one knee, took Mikaela's small hand, and said with a warm smile, "After all, I am the kind of Servant who ends battles."

"Buzz—!!!"

A magical whirlwind swept around Mikaela at that moment!

The Command Seal in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand seemed to have become even more vibrant.

"???" Arash was clearly confused, not knowing what he had figured out.

"Huh?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was also a little confused, because she clearly felt that Arash had signed a contract with her. What on earth was going on?!

"Strictly speaking, I have a contract with her, so although I am in human form, I am indeed Ritsuka Servant." Mikaela didn't seem to care. He calmly explained, "After what happened in Fuyuki City, I have to be more careful. If anything happens to her in the future, I will come to help her as soon as possible."

"So, that's why I've always been reluctant to sign a contract with you," Mikaela said, looking at Arash with a somewhat subtle expression. "Because, theoretically speaking, I am a 'Servant' who is 'owned'."

Why didn't I know?

Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely bewildered. When did this happen? Why didn't she know? And! Chaldea didn't have any records of it either!!!

When Sister Ella arrived at Chaldea and left Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka had her physical condition checked three times in a row. Both Da Vinci and Doctor Roman assured her that she was in perfect health and had no abnormalities whatsoever.

"I see." Arash was both amused and exasperated. He looked at Mikaela with a helpless expression and said, "If possible, could you have told me in advance?"

"It doesn't matter whether you say it sooner or later, and Ritsuka isn't an outsider. After spending just a few hours with her, you can probably tell that she's a pretty good kid."

Mikaela was quite confident in Fujimaru Ritsuka's charm, after all, she was someone who could win the favor of a large number of Servant in the original work.
