Obtain Artoria's Entry

As a white flash passed by.

The lion-shaped helmet vanished, revealing the Takeuchi face Su Luo knew all too well.

At the sight of that familiar figure, surprise flashed through Su Luo's heart.

All that remained was an overwhelming urge to complain. Why do I keep summoning Servants whose original bodies aren't dead?

The one standing before him was none other than the famous King of Lions from the Sixth Singularity.

In other words, Artoria after her mind had been completely eroded by the Holy Lance.

Judging from her attire and the Sacred Sword in her hand...

That was right. He had actually summoned the original body of that Artoria from the Sixth Singularity!

At this moment, she not only wielded the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad, but also possessed Excalibur.

With only the Sheath of Avalon left, Artoria would "evolve" into her complete form.

That day probably was not far off.

Thinking of the sheath in the possession of the Einzbern family, Su Luo could not help but reveal a mischievous smile.

"Master, please step aside. You cannot trust this woman's words so easily," Artoria said sternly.

"Ria, I'm your swordsmanship teacher and Court Mage, aren't I? How could you try to kill your own teacher?!"

Before Su Luo could respond, Melly poked her head out from behind him and shouted indignantly.

To Mato Sakura, Melly looked as though she were standing up for her. But in Artoria's eyes, Melly was merely throwing her weight around and using Su Luo as a shield.

Seeing this, Artoria raised her hand and sent a golden blade of light flying toward Melly.

Melly reacted quickly and instantly pulled her head back.

Artoria snorted coldly before finally saying in an indifferent tone, "Do I need a reason to hit Melly?"

"No!"

The moment Artoria finished speaking, Su Luo immediately answered.

His voice was firm and resounding, displaying the young man's unwavering stance.

Melly instantly choked on her words and swallowed the rebuttal she had been about to make.

Didn't you say you liked me? Why did you change your tune after just one day?!

Seeing this, Su Luo took the opportunity to wrap Melly into a dumpling with the Chains of Heaven, then dragged her before Artoria.

He had not forgotten how Melly had tampered with his Command Spell earlier.

"Wait, Master, we can talk this out! I'll transfer the Command Spell right away, just don't hand me over to Ria!"

With that, Melly transferred her Command Spell onto Su Luo's arm.

Su Luo glanced at the Command Spell on his arm, then waved his hand and handed Melly over to Artoria.

"Melly is yours. Please give her a proper lesson," Su Luo requested.

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Master, spare me! I'll never be so awful again!" Seeing that her words were useless, Melly immediately began struggling desperately.

However, she was currently only in the body of a Servant, and her power was incomplete.

Moreover, the Chains of Heaven had received a slight enhancement.

Their binding force was now even stronger than before.

Melly in her current state could not escape the Chains of Heaven's restraints.

"My pleasure," Artoria said blandly.

After saying that, she dragged Melly aside and, without holding back in the slightest, slammed a fist into that exquisite face.

A black eye immediately appeared on Melly's face.

Seeing this, Su Luo pulled Mato Sakura aside and earnestly said, "Sakura, you can't grow up to be as awful as Sister Melly, understand?"

"Otherwise, people will come to your door and teach you a lesson, just like they did to Sister Melly."

"I understand." Mato Sakura nodded obediently.

However, when she looked at Melly, her eyes sparkled as though she had learned something useful.

A moment later, Melly lay on the ground bruised and battered, looking utterly dead inside.

Artoria brought Melly back before Su Luo and said lightly, "Master, thank you very much. You may call me Ria from now on."

As she spoke, her expression remained as placid as water, without the slightest ripple.

Yet the meaning behind her words was clearly that she wanted to grow closer to Su Luo.

Seeing her like this, Su Luo asked curiously, "Are you all right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I broke free from the Holy Lance's influence long ago. However, although I recovered my own personality, I did not forget the memories from my time as the King of Lions," Artoria explained calmly.

In other words, even though Artoria had regained her humanity, those memories of being the King of Lions would still bring certain changes to her personality.

Obtaining Artoria's Trait

"That's fine too. Compared to you wielding the Sacred Sword, I find you more charming as you are now." Su Luo nodded, looking unconcerned.

Artoria wielding the Sacred Sword had been holy and noble, the King of Knights who followed the path of chivalry.

Her personality had been extremely stubborn.

If he had summoned that version of her, then his act of reducing the Matou family to ashes last night would likely have met with Artoria's opposition.

But the King of Lions would definitely not have done that.

With her cold and ruthless way of doing things, she would not care about his actions.

In fact, if she had been the one handling it, she might have used even more efficient and brutal methods to achieve her goal.

He just did not know how much of the King of Lions's style Artoria retained after regaining her humanity.

"Come to think of it, why did you become my Servant?" Su Luo remembered something.

Under normal circumstances, it should have been impossible for him to summon the Artoria of the Sixth Singularity through the Holy Grail.

Furthermore, she had not answered his summon in the form of a Servant. Her original body had directly come to Fuyuki City and become his Servant.

That was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"At the Counter Force's request, I became your Heroic Spirit and remained by your side."

"As compensation, my physical body came over intact, and my abilities as King Arthur and the King of Lions were not weakened." As Artoria explained, a trace of gentleness appeared on her pretty face.

Of course, the Counter Force's request was not the main reason.

It was simply inconvenient for her to explain that to Su Luo right now.

"I see..." Su Luo lowered his gaze in thought.

Since the Counter Force had sent Artoria to remain at his side, there were only a few possibilities.

One was that it considered him highly dangerous and wanted to eliminate him.

But that possibility was unlikely.

Setting aside whether the Counter Force would send the King of Lions if it wanted to eliminate him, the Chat Group on him certainly would not allow the Counter Force to do so.

The other possibility was that it wanted to show him goodwill.

Sending Artoria to his side in the name of being a Servant was effectively matchmaking him with Artoria.

That way, not only would he refrain from doing anything that harmed the world, but he might even use the Chat Group's power to bring endless benefits to the world in the future.

As for which possibility it was, Su Luo could not be completely certain.

But even if it was the first possibility, he could use the Chat Group's power to hide in the worlds of other group members.

Once his strength rose in the future, he would return to the Type-Moon world and thoroughly teach Gaia and Alaya, those two Counter Forces, a lesson.

Back to the matter at hand.

Su Luo exhaled a breath of stale air, as if expelling all his complicated thoughts along with it.

He had something even more important to do now: extract Artoria's Traits.

"System, bind Artoria."

Congratulations, Host, on successfully binding Artoria (King of Lions).

Special Character: Artoria (King of Lions)

Exclusive Traits: Blessing of the End (Gold), Shining Rhongomyniad (Gold), Excalibur (Gold)...

Artoria's Traits were truly astonishing.

The first things that caught his eye were three golden Traits.

That dazzling golden light nearly blinded him.

Besides that, the remaining Traits were equally impressive.

Other than one or two blue Traits, nearly all the rest were purple or above. He would not lose out no matter which one he obtained.

Thinking this, Su Luo immediately began acquiring Traits.

Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Trait: Shining Rhongomyniad (Gold).

Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Trait: Clairvoyance EX (Gold).

"Woohoo, perfect!"

Su Luo exclaimed inwardly.

He had gained another two golden Traits.

There was no need to say much about the Holy Lance. As for Clairvoyance EX, its ability was Future Vision.

Now that it had fused with and upgraded his Clairvoyance, not only had he acquired Future Vision, but his Present Vision had also improved considerably.

After a few more upgrades, he felt that he might even be able to observe events occurring in parallel worlds.

"Open the System Panel."

Host: Su Luo

Bound Special Characters: Melly (Servant), Mato Sakura, Artoria (King of Lions)

Traits: Super Adaptation (Red), Grand Caster Succubus (Gold), Clairvoyance EX (Gold↑), Avalon Swordsaint (purple), Imaginary Number (purple), Imaginary Number Magic (purple), Gate of Babylon (Gold↑), Shining Rhongomyniad (Gold), Blessing of the End (Gold)

"Awesome. I got two golden Traits and mooched another golden Trait for free. What a huge profit!"

At that moment, Su Luo felt as refreshed as if he had taken a sip of ice-cold soda in the middle of a scorching summer day.

Blessing of the End was a blessing automatically possessed by the wielder of the Holy Lance.

The instant he obtained the Holy Lance Trait, he would also gain the Trait of Blessing of the End.

How could that not make him happy?

Artoria keenly sensed that Su Luo had gained the same blessing as her.

It was a blessing originating from the very end of the world, something only wielders of the Holy Lance could obtain.

In other words, Su Luo had suddenly obtained the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad just now?

Thinking this, Artoria quietly used Future Vision to observe Su Luo's future.

Yet all she could see was emptiness and chaos.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Is this why the Counter Force asked me to stay by Master's side? A thoughtful glint flashed through Artoria's emerald-green eyes.

Although she did not know why the Counter Force had asked her to stay with Su Luo, she would certainly do everything in her power to protect him.

Even if the Counter Force wished to harm him, she would fight it with all her strength.

"Ria, let's head back. Let's get something to eat and rest first. The Holy Grail War probably won't begin so soon."

"Okay." Upon hearing the words "something to eat," a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in Artoria's calm eyes.
