Chapter Summaries

Riezel explained to Artoria that completing her pilgrimage would mean forging the Holy Sword, undoing the Lostbelt, and erasing Britain and its fairies. He told her she could abandon her mission, while confirming he had decided to destroy Britain and free the imprisoned Queen.

• Riezel found Artoria on Londinium’s city wall, where she explained that ringing the final Pilgrimage Bell would complete her mission as a Paradise Fairy.
• Artoria said the six Bells would acknowledge the fairy clans’ sins and pass on the Holy Sword’s mystery, allowing the Lostbelt to be undone and Britain and its fairies to disappear.
• Artoria asked whether Riezel truly wanted Britain and the fairies to perish, and he admitted that he did.
• Riezel stopped Artoria from using her Fairy Eyes to read his heart and accused her of being jealous of his freedom from prophecy and duty.
• Riezel told Artoria she could abandon her mission as Morgan had, but said he had already decided to destroy Britain and free the Queen from the Throne.

Riezel joined a meeting in Londinium where Chaldea warned that Britain’s Great Calamity could erupt within a week and that Morgan’s plans would doom both Britain and Pan-Human History. The group agreed to fight Morgan so Artoria could claim the throne and use its power against the Calamity, while Habertlot chose to stand with Chaldea.

• Riezel toured Londinium, where soldiers and residents greeted him as the hero who had wounded Bagster and repelled the Queen’s Army.
• Da Vinci told the gathering that the Curse was intensifying and Chaldea’s calculations predicted a Collapse capable of annihilating Pan-Human History in less than a week.
• Oberon and Percival agreed that Morgan had to be overthrown so Artoria could take the throne and use its magical energy to resist the Great Calamity.
• Habertlot said she had no objection to fighting Morgan and chose Chaldea’s side, declaring that she and Aesc would fight for their own positions.

Riezel warned the Round Table Army that Morgan and her forces vastly outmatched them, then explained that a Pledge Stake prevented him from fighting Morgan. Oberon and Da Vinci argued that alliances could bridge the gap, and the meeting ended with plans to seek the Royal Clan in Edinburgh.

• Riezel explained that the Round Table Army lacked the numbers and combat strength to attack Camelot, especially against the Fairy Knights, major clans, and Morgan.
• Mashu suggested Riezel could defeat Morgan, but he said he could win only if not for the Pledge Stake he shared with Morgan, which prevented them from harming each other.
• Riezel said he had come to Londinium to seek Artoria's help in defeating Morgan, while keeping his other goals to himself.
• Oberon argued that several fairy clans might support the Round Table Army, including the Wind, Earth, and Wing Clans, and said the remaining gap could be bridged.
• Da Vinci and Oberon proposed finding an ally, and the group decided to go to Edinburgh to seek the Royal Clan.

Riezel and the Round Table Army prepared to travel from Londinium to Edinburgh to seek an alliance with the Royal Clan against Morgan. Artoria admitted she knew the Royal Clan’s queen but doubted she could help secure the alliance, and Riezel proposed teleporting the group north of Camelot and flying them over the mountains.

• The Eight-Legged Horse rejoined Riezel, and Da Vinci explained that it had helped Artoria and the others escape Bagster and travel across Britain.
• Da Vinci said the Round Table Army would seek an alliance with the Royal Clan in Edinburgh, since Sheffield’s resistance force had been destroyed and the Queen’s Army remained overwhelmingly powerful.
• Artoria revealed that she had met Bagster at Tintagel and the Royal Clan’s queen in Gloucester, but said the queen was self-centered and might consider her a rival.
• Riezel guessed that Artoria had avoided Edinburgh because she knew the Royal Clan’s queen, and Artoria nervously changed the subject and urged the group to leave.
• Riezel proposed using teleportation magecraft to open a Gate north of Camelot, then flying the group across the mountains toward Edinburgh.

Riezel and the others traveled by flying carriage toward Edinburgh, where they hoped to secure the Royal Clan’s support. Habertlot explained that the Royal Clan descended from the Northern Fairies of Albion, and Da Vinci revealed the immense significance of the ancient dragon Albion.

• Oberon stayed behind to contact the Wind Clan, Earth Clan, and Wing Clan, while Gareth remained in Londinium to assist Percival.
• Riezel led Artoria, Habertlot, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Da Vinci north in a flying carriage that let them cross the mountains directly toward Edinburgh.
• Habertlot explained that the Northern Fairies came from a forest called the Lake District, which had joined Britain as it expanded northward.
• Habertlot revealed that the forest had formed from the remains of a great creature called Albion, the Last Dragon and White of the End.
• Da Vinci described Albion as an ancient, immensely powerful pure-blooded dragon, a being comparable to a Grand among Heroic Spirits.

Habertlot recounted the history of the Northern and Southern Fairies and the wars that shaped Britain, while Riezel considered why the Rain and Mirror Clans had changed. The group learned that the Royal Clan had declared war on Morgan and that its current queen, Nokturna, awaited them in Edinburgh.

• Habertlot explained that Albion’s remains became the Lake District, where the Northern Fairies arose, and described the Southern Fairies’ massacre of them in the Spring War, after which Mab founded the Western Isle.
• Habertlot recounted the later Summer, Autumn, and Winter Wars, including Mab’s return to Britain, humanity’s uprising under Uther, and Morgan’s conquest of the fairy clans.
• Riezel suspected that the Rain and Mirror Clans had recognized their sins after migrating north onto Albion’s remains, and he recalled how the Mirror Clan had tried to raise Artoria before its extermination.
• Habertlot said the Royal Clan had declared war on Morgan and that its support could help the Round Table Army challenge the Queen’s Army.
• Artoria revealed that Mab had died and that Nokturna, a fairy queen who distrusted humans and opposed Morgan, now led the Royal Clan.
• The group approached Edinburgh, where Nokturna’s castle stood.

Riezel and his companions arrived in Edinburgh to negotiate with Queen Nokronaley, but the Royal Clan’s guards mistook their carriage for an invasion and attacked. Artoria announced the delegation’s peaceful purpose in name, then loudly challenged Nokronaley to come out, leaving the meeting poised to turn into a fight.

• Habertlot explained that Queen Nokronaley sheltered and employed humans, prompting Riezel to praise the Royal Clan and call Artoria and Nokronaley similarly soft-hearted.
• The group reached Edinburgh and saw its prosperous streets, giant guards, and the magical power surrounding the city and its fairies.
• Edinburgh’s guards hurled spears at the carriage, and Riezel used Immoral Game to teleport it past the attack and onto a city street.
• The guards and fairies tried to stop the carriage, but protective magecraft deflected their attacks before the carriage came to a halt.
• Artoria introduced herself as the representative of Londinium’s Round Table and declared that she had come to negotiate, then shouted for Nokronaley to come out.

Riezel's group faced a hostile reception in Edinburgh until Nokturna arrived and recognized Artoria, her old friend and rival. Nokturna escorted them to the Grand Cathedral to begin negotiations, while her interest in Riezel and Artoria's protective reaction hinted at new complications.

• The Royal Clan fairies and giants moved to seize Riezel's group after Artoria provoked them, but Nokturna arrived and ordered them to stop.
• Nokturna and Artoria recalled their meeting five years earlier and argued about Artoria's past and recent achievements.
• Nokturna questioned whether Artoria had come to settle the Royal Clan before opposing Morgan, and Artoria insisted she wanted to negotiate.

• Nokturna agreed to receive the envoys and led Riezel's group to Edinburgh's Grand Cathedral for negotiations.

Riezel and Da Vinci sought an alliance between the Round Table and Nokturna’s Royal Clan to defeat Morgan and the Great Calamity. Nokturna accepted that cooperation could benefit the north but questioned what would happen to the throne afterward, then singled out Riezel as an exception to her distrust of humans.

• Nokturna dismissed the guards and questioned Riezel, recognizing him as Morgan’s human husband and a formidable warrior.
• Da Vinci proposed an alliance in which the Royal Clan would provide troops and the Round Table would contribute powerful fighters against Morgan’s forces.
• Nokturna agreed that cooperation was beneficial but asked who would become queen after Morgan’s defeat and whether she and Artoria would have to fight for the throne.
• Artoria said she did not need to become queen, and Nokturna challenged her to explain why she had begun her Pilgrimage Journey.
• Nokturna asked Riezel for his opinion, acknowledged her reluctance to cooperate with humans, and declared that he was an exception.

Riezel urged Nokturna to abandon Britain and lead the Northern Fairies to Pan-Human History, arguing that the island’s curse made its destruction inevitable. Nokturna was moved but could not yet decide whether to leave Edinburgh and her people’s homeland.

• Nokturna invited Riezel to join her struggle against Morgan, but Riezel rejected the value of fighting for Britain’s throne.
• Riezel explained that Beast God Cernunnos’s Curse and Britain’s doomed Lostbelt would threaten the Northern Fairies regardless of who ruled.
• Riezel urged Nokturna to take the Northern Fairies to Pan-Human History, where Da Vinci offered Chaldea’s help and welcome.
• Nokturna admitted she did not want to leave Edinburgh and asked for time to consider her people’s future.
• Nokturna ordered her soldiers to provide rooms and hospitality for the Round Table’s envoys while she made her decision.

Morgan ordered Bagster to wait for the Round Table at Camelot and declared she would protect Britain but not its fairies, while resolving to oppose Riezel. The next day, Nokturna agreed to ally with the Round Table against Morgan, but postponed deciding whether the Royal Clan would migrate to Pan-Human History.

• Bagster returned to Camelot, reported her failed pursuit of the Child of Prophecy, and asked Morgan for another chance to fight Riezel.
• Morgan told Bagster to stay in Camelot and prepare for the Round Table’s arrival, saying she would use the throne’s magical energy to protect Britain from the Great Calamity but would not save the fairies.
• Morgan understood Riezel’s offer as an attempt to save her, rejected it, and declared that they would meet as enemies at Camelot.
• Bagster left the Throne Hall determined to act, while Nokturna, Artoria, Chaldea’s group, and others contemplated their next moves.
• The next day, Nokturna agreed to ally the Royal Clan with the Round Table to overthrow Morgan, but said she would decide about migration after seeing what Britain became.
• Nokturna invited the others to form an alliance and set a date for war.

Artoria decided to help Nokturna and the Northern Fairies escape Britain’s Curse, while joining Chaldea in defeating Morgan and preserving Pan-Human History. She left Britain’s fate undecided until she could witness it herself, and Riezel set out with her for the Lake District to find the final Pilgrimage Bell.

• Riezel told Artoria she did not have to fight if she could not bear to, and urged her to choose her own path instead of drifting along.
• Artoria admitted she remained unsure about her mission but resolved to help Nokturna and the Northern Fairies because they were innocent.
• Artoria also decided to help Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Da Vinci preserve Pan-Human History, while postponing her judgment on Britain’s fate.
• Riezel headed for the Lake District and told Artoria he would take her to the final Pilgrimage Bell.

Riezel brought Artoria to the former site of the Mirror Clan, where his positive cursed energy drove back the Mors. He revealed that the lost sixth Pilgrimage Bell had been destroyed and that they would need to recover the Mirror Clan Chief’s remains to make it anew.

• Riezel used Gates and High-Tier Teleportation to take Artoria from Edinburgh to the foggy Lake District.
• Riezel illuminated the Mors with Angel’s Heavenly Restriction of Evil Removal, causing them to flee or vanish as he and Artoria walked through.
• Riezel explained that the six Pilgrimage Bells were the corpses of the six fairy Clan Chiefs and that the Mirror Clan’s bell had been destroyed with the clan.
• Riezel told Artoria they needed to find the deceased Mirror Clan Chief’s remains, which had returned to nature, so he could make the final Bone Clock anew.

Riezel used Wish Upon a Star to forge the final Pilgrimage Bell from the Mirror Clan Chief’s remains, and Artoria rang it to announce that she had completed her pilgrimage. Its toll spread across Britain, declaring the fairies’ sins and the approach of the final struggle.

• Riezel explained that Dragon Bone Swamp held Albion’s remains and that the Mirror Clan had been massacred there.
• Riezel decided to use the Mirror Clan Chief’s remains as a medium to forge a new Bone Clock rather than resurrect her.
• Riezel cast Wish Upon a Star, awakening the Clan Chief’s remains and transforming them into the final Pilgrimage Bell.
• Riezel urged Artoria to ring the bell and announce that the Child of Prophecy had completed her pilgrimage.
• Artoria rang the Pilgrimage Bell and prayed for the fairies’ sins to be forgiven as its toll echoed across Britain.

After Artoria rang the final Pilgrimage Bell and completed her journey, Riezel warned the allies that Morgan remained overwhelmingly powerful and returned Black Barrel to Mashu. The group prepared for the approaching final war, while Riezel kept the threat sleeping in the Great Cave in mind.

• Riezel and Artoria returned to Edinburgh, where Nokturna and the others questioned them about the final Pilgrimage Bell.
• Riezel explained that Artoria’s completed Pilgrimage Journey had greatly strengthened her, but warned that she was still no match for Morgan alone.
• Riezel cautioned the allies that Morgan was Britain’s strongest fighter and that defeating her would require everyone’s combined strength.
• Riezel retrieved Black Barrel from his Storage Space and returned it to Mashu, explaining that he had recovered it after saving her.
• Riezel warned everyone to prepare for the final war, while considering that the monster sleeping in the Great Cave might awaken after Morgan’s defeat.

The Alliance Army formally declared war on Morgan, with an attack on Camelot set for the next day. On the eve of battle, Riezel confronted Morgan about her Holy Lances and revealed that preventing their use against the Alliance was only a secondary reason for his visit.

• Nokturna and the Round Table Army allied with the northern Royal Clan, while the Wind, Earth, and Wing Clans turned against Morgan and the Fang Clan was obstructed.
• Morgan summoned her Queen's Knights and prepared to defend Camelot with her own forces as Britain gathered for war.
• At Nokturna's proposal, Artoria and Nokturna sent Camelot a declaration of war, and Morgan answered, "Come and fight."
• That night, Riezel joined Morgan as she watched the Great Cave and warned that he would make her aim her Holy Lances at him before she could target the Alliance Army.
• Morgan asked Riezel why he had come, and he said that stopping the Holy Lances was only a secondary purpose.

Riezel proposed a wager to Morgan: she would face Artoria and the others without the Holy Lances or throne, and if she lost, she would leave Britain with him. He offered to revive the Rain Clan if she won, shaking Morgan’s resolve, then left to meet Bagster, who asked him to make a deal.

• Riezel challenged Morgan to wager on Artoria and the others defeating her, with Morgan forbidden from using the Holy Lances or throne.
• Riezel offered to free Morgan from Britain’s Curse if she lost, and to solve the Curse, deal with the Great Cave, and revive Bavan Xi, Woodworth, and the Rain Clan if she won.
• Morgan was deeply shaken by the offer to revive the Rain Clan, whose kindness and care had shaped her childhood as Vivian.
• Riezel left Morgan to consider the wager, and she quietly asked whether the Rain Clan could come back.
• Riezel revealed himself in an alley, where Bagster admitted she had lured him there and proposed a deal.

Riezel told Chaldea’s group that Bagster had offered to open Camelot’s gates and restrain the Queen’s Army in exchange for letting Britain’s fairies travel to Pan-Human History. He recalled refusing her request, leaving the alliance’s next move unresolved ahead of the siege.

• Riezel arrived at the alliance camp near Camelot and found Chaldea’s group and Percival planning the siege with a map supplied by Aurora.
• Percival explained that the Wind and Earth Clans would assist only behind the scenes, while Muirne’s Wing Clan would hold back the Fang Clan.
• Riezel learned that Artoria and Gareth were setting up a Magic Barrier, while Oberon and Habertlot received supplies from the clans.
• Riezel told the group about his deal with Bagster, and they welcomed the prospect of entering Camelot more easily.
• Riezel recalled Bagster’s offer to open Camelot’s main gate and restrain the Queen’s Army if Chaldea allowed Britain’s fairies to travel to Pan-Human History.
• Riezel rejected Bagster’s request, despite her offer to help the alliance storm the royal city.

Riezel rejected Bagster’s request to protect Britain’s fairies and urged her to confront their cruelty before deciding whether they belonged in Pan-Human History. As Britain’s armies prepared to attack Camelot, Riezel remained confident he could handle the dangers ahead.

• Riezel condemned Britain’s fairies to Bagster, challenged her to visit the human ranches and Manchester, and said he would relay her request to Chaldea.
• Riezel reflected that Chaldea might accept some Britain fairies, while noting that Nokturna’s power and intelligence depended on the loyalty of her people.
• Riezel reviewed his increased Ability Values and considered the possibility that he would remain at Lv. 9 until he found a powerful opponent.
• A black shadow watched Riezel leave the main tent and then departed.
• Nokturna’s army advanced north of Camelot, Percival’s Round Table Army approached from the south, and Morgan awaited them as the war began.

As the allied forces marched on Camelot, Bagster questioned whether helping them reach Pan-Human History was the right choice, fearing the danger fairies like herself might pose there. Lancelot vowed to defeat Riezel, while Bagster remained uncertain as the battle began and watched Artoria’s group approach.

• Bagster recalled her origins as the Fang Clan’s embodiment of the Black Dog Curse, her rejection by Woodworth, and how Morgan named her Fairy Knight Gawain after she quelled the Mors.
• Bagster realized her instincts made her dangerous to Pan-Human History and questioned whether fairies could safely coexist with humans there.
• Lancelot joined Bagster before battle, admitted Riezel’s power made victory difficult, and vowed to defeat him.
• The allied army advanced on Camelot at dawn, and Bagster wondered what choice would be right as the fighting began.
• Bagster looked toward Artoria and the allied group, deciding she might need to speak with them.
