Looking Like 'Ozymandias' / I'm Innocent!!

"My king, my master, now—no, this time, I am finally able to return this Holy Sword."

"Stop! If you use that, you will really die!" The Lion King was anxious. She dared not use the Holy Lance, much less the Wind King's Domain to stop Bedivere.

Because the other party is as fragile as paper at this moment, it will break with the slightest touch!

"Whoosh—!!!"

Even in his final moments, Bedivere did not stop. He moved so fast that Mash and Lancelot could hardly keep up.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come near me! I've already abandoned this thing! You no longer need to obey my orders!"

The Lion King shouted, but Bedivere seemed not to hear anything. He ran to the Lion King, his body already giving out.

Bedivere took Excalibur from his undamaged hand, smiled at the Lion King, then knelt on one knee and held the Holy Sword in his hands.

At that moment, Bedivere turned into a stone statue, still retaining his original smiling expression, but he also lost the power of the Holy Sword and thus passed away.

This knight, who had lived for 1500 years, had finally completed his mission.

"Lord Bedivere." Lancelot looked at Bedivere, who was also about to complete his mission, and a hint of regret and shame flashed in his eyes.

Compared to Lord Bedivere, he was truly a Round Table who was utterly useless except for his martial prowess.

"..." Mash remained silent, placing one hand on her chest, where she could clearly feel her heart pounding violently.

Compared to the knowledge and stories I read in books, witnessing firsthand a Knights of the Round Table who remained loyal to the king's command until the very last moment is far more rewarding.

This strengthened Mash's resolve; she was determined to follow her seniors and save Human Order! It was because of these people that the world had become such a beautiful place.

Regardless, as a member of the Chaldea's mission to save Human Order, Mash felt it was her duty to protect everything left behind by those who came before her.

"Should we... fight again?"

Mikaela suddenly spoke up. At this moment, the Lion King had already picked up the Holy Sword, regained his emotions, and revealed an expression of unimaginable sorrow and pride.

King Arthur — Artoria, she has returned.

"No need, I've already lost." The Lion King slowly shook her head. She looked at the Bedivere stone sculpture in front of her, wanting to reach out and touch it, but when she tried to touch it...

A gentle breeze blew by, and Bedivere, who had turned into a stone sculpture, was scattered by the wind.

"A complete and utter defeat." The Lion King's eyes deepened with sorrow. She raised her head and looked at Lancelot and Mash, saying slowly, "Bedivere, Lancelot, Galahad have all pledged allegiance to you. If you hadn't arrived so late, I would never have gained the support of Gawain and the others."

If the Knights of the Round Table hadn't only had two choices—death or allegiance—the others probably wouldn't have stood by him, but rather by this boy who possessed their 'aura'.

That's right, it's a boy. The Lion King could tell at a glance that Mikaela was male.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The Tower of Radiance, which had been imbued with immense energy, shattered completely at this moment.

If the Lion King were to continue resisting at this moment, she, wielding the Holy Sword and Holy Lance, would possess unimaginable fighting power.

But she didn't do that. Instead, she shattered the Tower of Glory on her own, held the Holy Sword, and looked at Mikaela slowly, saying, "But I'm curious, why do you think that Lord Bedivere alone can make me fail?"

"I know you." Mikaela naturally wouldn't say that she had read the script, which was why she had Bedivere fight the Lion King one-on-one, because that would be too stupid.

"Yes, you know me."

The Lion King didn't say much. She gave Mikaela a deep look, then took the Holy Sword and slowly walked away into the distance.

She is leaving this world.

Chapter 454 A face like a 'Ozymandias'

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

The Tower of Glory shattered, the Lion King departed, and the Holy Grail was retrieved by Mikaela.

This Singularity is now completely devoid of any threat. If nothing unexpected happens, the world's corrective power will be activated once Mikaela leaves this world.

Then the Chaldea group won't be able to stay here so leisurely like this.

"... It seems I must also leave."

As the Lion King departed this world, Lancelot's body began to fade into the ethereal. He exclaimed, "I was originally Servant summoned by my My King, Servant without Master."

"Now that my My King has departed, without the supply of magic, I will probably soon disappear from this world as well."

At this point, Lancelot looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Of course, if I had Master, I probably wouldn't disappear from this world so quickly."

In fact, this is no longer a hint, but a blatant declaration.

The answer is simple! Lancelot's eyes were now completely fixed on Fujimaru Ritsuka, and when he mentioned 'Master', he emphasized it several times.

"Bang!"

Perhaps because the crisis had passed, Mash didn't hesitate to strike Lancelot with her shield. She said very seriously, "Dad! If Senpai wanted to form a contract with you, she would have said so herself. Don't be so obvious!!"

"Ouch." Lancelot covered his head with one hand and his chest with the other. He looked at Mash with a doting expression and said helplessly, "I know, you can just say it once. Don't raise your shield to hit me all the time."

"It's a natural reaction, don't blame me! Galahad would definitely applaud my actions," Mash said seriously, clearly feeling she hadn't done anything wrong.

Because her Spirit Origin was currently rejoicing, she no longer felt the grief she had felt over Bedivere's passing.

It seems that beating up Lancelot, the Round Table's First Knight, would make Galahad's Spirit Origin quite happy.

"..." Lancelot fell silent. He suddenly didn't know what to say, because he knew that if Galahad were here...

They'll definitely come and beat me up with Mash.

Just imagine that scene... it seems pretty good, a son and a daughter beating up their old father or something.

"What do we do next, Sister Ella?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mikaela. At this moment, the greatest enemy of the Singularity had left, and the Singularity was basically out of danger.

As the director just mentioned, the world's corrective forces have begun to operate. Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for Mikaela, who holds the Goetia Holy Grail, to leave this world. This Singularity, which has been rated as extremely threatening, will likely be resolved very easily.

All the credit naturally goes to Sister Ella. If it weren't for her, Ramesses II wouldn't have allied with the Mountain People, nor would he have sent so many mass-produced divine beasts to deal with the Purification Knight of the Lion King.

Similarly, if Sister Ella hadn't taken on so much of the pressure, those powerful Knights of the Round Table wouldn't have been dealt with so easily.

Bedivere would not so easily reach the Lion King and return the Holy Sword.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka has finally resolved her inner conflict, she still can't help but sigh, "If only Sister Ella could return to Chaldea! She would lead all the Servant as Master to resolve the Singularity and truly save Human Order."

After all, even the mastermind behind the scenes seems to have to give Sister Ella some face.

"You are going to a place to meet a person. After that, you should be able to leave this Singularity." Mikaela looked at Arash falling from the sky and then at Fujimaru Ritsuka. "Most of what that guy says will be of great help to your future. Of course, there is one thing you should not believe."

Mikaela didn't say that 'that guy's' words couldn't be trusted, because she believed that Da Vinci would notice the abnormality of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, so she didn't need to elaborate.

"The young Pharaoh and the young Pharaoh have already left." Arash stood beside Mikaela, his expression troubled and helpless. "Before they left, he entrusted me with a message for you."

"What did you say?"

Mikaela looked somewhat puzzled, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others looked at Arash with curiosity, as it seemed to be the first time he had shown such a troubled expression.

When they were chasing Mikaela earlier, she kept smiling, as if nothing could trouble her.

Now, he actually showed a rather distressed and helpless expression. What kind of words could have made him show such a 'strange' expression?

"Ahem." Arash coughed, as if he was brewing something. His tone was somewhat like that of Ramesses II as he said, "I must say, maid, you have really disappointed me. I thought I was going to see a great battle between gods from the mythological era, but you have given me a cliché plot of knights offering their loyalty."

"???" Mash looked at Arash, who had suddenly transformed into 'Ozymandias', with a rather shocked expression.

This great hero from Persia can actually change his expression?! And even his tone of voice is different from before.

"Don't look at me like that." Arash seemed a little ashamed, but he was only doing this for someone else, so he had to stick to his word and completely imitate the person's tone and appearance.

"Go on." Mikaela didn't seem to care much, after all, Arash was an 'honest man'.

"Ahem." Arash coughed twice more, then continued in his 'Ozymandias' form, looking at Mikaela and saying, "Although it's old-fashioned, it has its merits, so I'll mercifully forgive you. But don't forget your promise to me, or I will definitely jump down from the Throne of Heroes and show you what the power of the 'Sun' is!"

After saying that, Arash immediately returned to his original appearance, and said helplessly, "That's about it, but I can't imitate his laughter, so let's forget about it."

"What agreement?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mikaela curiously, not understanding what agreement she had made with Ramesses II.

"When he confirmed the alliance with me, he said that after defeating the Lion King, he would not allow the Old Man of the Mountain or I to invade his territory." Mikaela also recalled the agreement she had made with Ramesses II.

Ramesses II originally did not intend to form an alliance with Mikaela, but rather planned to sit back and watch the two sides fight.

He felt that Mikaela had an absolute advantage, and with the help of that mysterious assassin, he was practically invincible.

If the Lion King hadn't been so emotionless and incapable of forming alliances, Ramesses II would likely have immediately allied with him, and Lion King two would have joined forces to attack the Mountain People.

But none of that matters now. Once Mikaela leaves this Singularity, both Hassan and Chaldea will disappear from this era immediately.

There was absolutely no need to invade Ramesses II's territory.

Chapter 455 I'm innocent!!

While explaining her agreement with Ramesses II to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, Mikaela slowly walked towards the Holy City.

Even after Ramesses II and Nitocris left the stage, those mass-produced divine beasts did not completely disappear.

Like other Servant, they will be erased by the world's corrective forces after Mikaela leaves this world.

This place was quite far from the Holy City. It took Mikaela and the others about half an hour to finally arrive at the Holy City.

They saw the Old Man of the Mountain and the Demon God Pillar capture two 'Servant'.

"So, I'm not an enemy! I'm just an ordinary monk passing by." A woman dressed rather 'revealingly' and dressed like a monk said helplessly, "I was just invited as a guest."

"I'm innocent, I just came to take a look." The other one was an archer carrying a sack of rice, who looked quite tough. He had a rather troubled smile on his face, as if he shouldn't be there.

"Behave yourselves, you two are the last remaining Servant in the Holy City." Hassan of the Hundred Faces was quite impolite, after all, the Holy City had already been conquered, and yet there were two Servant wandering around inside and outside the city.

The situation is now quite clear.

You are either Servant on the Lion King's side, or Servant on your own side.

Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino from Chaldea also mentioned that these two are not Servant belonging to Chaldea.

Needless to say, the Sun King's side only had two people! One was Ramesses II, and the other was Nitocris.

As for the Old Man of the Mountain... don't they understand themselves?!

Therefore, Hassan of the Hundred Faces concluded that these two must be Servant of the Lion King, and that they would have surrendered obediently if they hadn't made no move to resist.

She would probably be very decisive... and call upon all her Servant to surround and kill the two of them.

"I am really not him. I am Tang Sanzang from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East. I am only here in this Holy City because the other party kindly took me in and gave me vegetarian food."

Tang Sanzang looked utterly innocent; she was almost in tears. What had happened?

She was just going to eat a meal in jail, but the world outside changed completely. Although she had guessed that someone would attack the city, she never expected that she would be locked up for a night.

The next day, he had just escaped from the dungeon when he was caught red-handed by these people and falsely accused of being Servant of the Lion King.

"It's a misunderstanding! I'm just an ordinary archer passing by. What Lion King? I have no idea!" Taro Urashima to the side, also seemed very aggrieved.

He had just come out of the desert region when he saw intense battle activity here, so he rushed over to check it out.

By the time he arrived, everything was over, and to make matters worse, he was being targeted by a young girl with various extraordinary skills.

Just like Tang Sanzang next to him, he was also falsely accused of being a subordinate of the Lion King.

This is utterly baffling! He has absolutely no idea who the Lion King is! He's only been in this world for less than 24 hours and has no idea what's going on here!

"Your Majesty, you have returned. We have captured two of the Lion King's Servant."

At this moment, Reif seemed to notice that Mikaela had arrived. Without saying a word, he rushed over at lightning speed and said as if to take credit, "And it's not just these two guys, we've also completely taken over the Lion King's Holy City. There's plenty of food inside. If you're hungry, I can cook for you myself."

Reif didn't take those two Servant seriously at all; his goal was very clear: to ensure the King had a delicious breakfast.

The sun is about to rise, and according to human timekeeping, it is now around five in the morning. In another hour or two, it will probably be time to have breakfast.

"Ha?!"

At this moment, Amon was displeased. Without saying a word, he kicked Reif away and knelt on one knee in front of Mikaela, saying very seriously, "Your Majesty, there is no need to listen to that guy Flauros's nonsense. As your personal bodyguard, I am the one who has the greatest obligation to help you make breakfast."

"What?! Amon! How dare you kick me!" Instead of questioning Amon about stealing his breakfast, Reif directly shifted the topic to Amon's 'deliberate attack' on him.

Reif's purpose was clear! He wanted to tell Mikaela that it was Amon who started the fight, not that he deliberately provoked it.

Seeing the hostile look in Reif's eyes, Amon instantly understood the man's malicious intentions. He cursed him inwardly as a despicable scoundrel who only knew how to take advantage of others' misfortunes, and then said very seriously, "So what if I kicked you? When it comes to cooking, you can't even compare to me! And you dare to embarrass yourself in front of the King?!"

Fighting is out of the question; I'll never fight in my life.

Amon's injuries sustained in this Singularity were not yet fully healed, making it impossible for him to defeat Flauros.

"Alright, that's enough." Mikaela glanced at Amon and Reif and said calmly, "I'll cook for myself later, so you don't need to say anything more."

Would Mikaela eat food made by the Demon God Pillar? Of course not, after all, the other party claims to be 'omniscient' and 'all-knowing'.
