Chapter Summaries

The Allied Army reached Camelot, where Barghest challenged Artoria and her companions to prove they were strong enough to face Queen Morgan. Above the battlefield, Riezel confronted Lancelot, who attacked him with her Noble Phantasm but could not breach the infinite distance protecting him.

• Barghest refused to open Camelot’s gates and demanded that Artoria and the Allied Army defeat her before entering.
• Artoria accepted Barghest’s challenge, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Percival, Da Vinci, Habertlot, Gareth, and the others prepared to fight.
• Lancelot attacked Riezel from the sky with Innocence Aroundight, but his power kept her sword at an infinite distance and left him unharmed.

Riezel overwhelmed Lancelot in their aerial battle, but she revealed her true form as the evil dragon Meiliuqina to keep him from reaching Camelot and threatening the person she loved. The chapter ended with Meiliuqina confronting Riezel at the height of her power.

• Riezel repeatedly deflected Lancelot's attacks, then wounded her with his Divine Blade, blood arrows, and Great Serpent.

• Meiliuqina vowed to stop Riezel from harming her beloved, and Riezel accepted her challenge.

Meiliuqina transformed into a dragon and used boundary-crossing light to break through Riezel’s Infinity, forcing him to endure her aerial attacks. Riezel then countered with gravity and Red, ending the exchange by striking Meiliuqina with Black Flash as she fell toward the earth.

Percival sacrificed years of his life to save Meiliuqina and asked her to watch him fight, while she struggled to choose between him and her devotion to the person she loved.

A black storm ended, returning everyone to Camelot’s Throne Hall, where Morgan lay mortally wounded after the fairies ambushed her inside the Pocket Dimension.
