The Roll Call of the Round Table Arrives, the Radiance of the Sword of Stars (2nd Update)

While sending Artoria away from the spiritual realm, Su Yun also departed immediately.

Because that so-called Destiny realm was actually his own spiritual realm, and his spiritual realm was not a pleasant place; the environment was essentially a replica of the nightmares he experienced every night.

Such terrifying scenes were truly not suitable for lingering, nor were they appropriate for the Operators to see in detail, which is why what Artoria saw was a heavily obscured, dark screen.

Just as the information Artoria received indicated, Su Yun was not surprised that the Mystery side would launch a direct, overwhelming assault; having long known there was a traitor, he had never underestimated the intelligence of his enemies.

Anyone with a normal level of intelligence would know to play a "dragon-riding-the-face" tactic against a hero just leaving the newbie village—when the Mystery Songstress suddenly attacked the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office that night, he understood that the enemy had already begun their move.

The current situation was merely turning conjecture into fact.

It was for this reason that Su Yun had not taken any new actions after obtaining a massive amount of Phantasm Power, instead hoarding it and waiting silently.

Now, it was time for that Phantasm Power to take effect.

Seeing that thirty thousand points of Phantasm Power had vanished instantly, and thinking that this strike against the enemy was only a one-time use, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pang of regret.

But there was no choice; this was a necessary sacrifice.

In truth, Su Yun had considered personally stepping in to erase that Level 5 Mystery directly, but that would have consumed even more Phantasm Power, and if he acted directly, he couldn't guarantee that the Mystery side wouldn't discover his true identity.

It was not impossible, as the Mystery side did indeed possess such capabilities.

Therefore, Su Yun had to ensure he remained hidden behind the scenes; otherwise, if he were to step onto the front stage, the still-weak 'Destiny' would truly have to leave its fate to the heavens.

Turning his vision back to Artoria, Su Yun knew that next, it would be time for the latter to display the brilliance of the King of Eternity.

It wasn't a proxy battle, but rather granting a one-time cheat, allowing Artoria to experience the power of her ultimate form in advance.

As her consciousness returned to her body, Artoria looked up at the massive Beast of a Thousand Mouths, the Star Corruptor, in the sky once more, feeling no fear, for she knew the laws of victory were already in her grasp.

They were truly held in her hands.

The young girl plunged the Sword in the Stone into the ground and let go, while golden radiance shone from her hands. Vast and glorious magic power flooded her entire body, and under the propulsion of this energy, her body began to move on its own.

A glorious phantom, identical to Artoria, emerged and overlapped with her, eventually merging into one.

The next moment, the girl's posture changed.

The pure white girl transformed into the posture of King Arthur as seen in the Light Screen, and the transformation did not stop there; a blue cloak appeared, thick and solemn, as if representing the weight borne by that monarch during that dark age.

Then, a golden crown, as if forged from stars, appeared atop the girl's head, and this shimmering crown seemed to represent the brilliance and glory of the King of Eternity.

The next moment, the Sword of Stars, shining with golden radiance, gradually took shape amidst the brilliant golden light, and the moment it formed, it radiated light, swirling around Artoria.

That glorious starlight even eclipsed the fear brought by the Star Corruptor, causing Baal and the members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad to look at Artoria uncontrollably.

Artoria closed her eyes, her consciousness merging with her current profound state, and she spoke unconsciously.

"Release the thirteen seals, the Round Table resolution begins here!"

As these words fell, the voice of King Arthur seemed to resound in the void.

"Approved!"

Immediately following, Baal and the others saw the phantoms of individuals appear, each shining with golden radiance, as if summoned by the call of that Golden Sword.

12345...

There were 12 people in total.

And although they had received no explanation, the moment they saw these twelve people, Baal and the others recognized exactly who they were.

The Knights of the Round Table, the twelve legends who represented the rise and fall of King Arthur.

Then, 13 objects shining like stars appeared on the sword, and their powers connected, forming a complete sealing ritual.

Now was the time to break the seals.

Instantly, Artoria—or more accurately, the ethereal voice belonging to King Arthur—rang out.

"Bedivere."

Among the twelve phantoms, a slender male knight responded: "Approved."

Clang!

One of the seals on the Golden Sword was broken, and the radiance of the blade became a degree more dazzling.

"Kay!"

Another phantom responded: "Approved!"

Another seal on the Golden Sword was broken, and the radiance of the blade became a degree more dazzling.

This situation began to repeat continuously.

"Lancelot!"

"Approved!"

"Mordred!"

"Approved!"

"Galahad!"

"Acknowledged!"

"Palamedes!"... "Agravain!"... "Gaheris!"... "Gareth!"... "Percival!"... "Tristan!"——"Acknowledged!" X6!

The Twelve Knights of the Round Table were called upon one by one. The seal representing Gawain was the first to be undone, signifying the Sun Knight's unconditional support for the Round Table.

Finally, the last seal representing King Arthur was released by Artoria herself.

An ethereal voice echoed: "Arthur!"

Artoria opened her eyes and declared with resonant conviction: "This is a battle to save the world!"

The final seal shattered in response!

In an instant, magic surged. The Golden Sword in Artoria's hand was completely unsealed, its size expanding instantly into a radiant broadsword.

This was the true form of the Star Sword wielded by King Arthur!

At this moment, the surging radiance made Artoria shine like a sun in the night, illuminating the land amidst the darkness.

The terrifying magic and glorious light left Baal and the others stirred and mesmerized, while also drawing the attention of the Beast of a Thousand Mouths in the sky.

In fact, the Beast of a Thousand Mouths had already sensed a dire threat and immediately unleashed countless tentacles to sweep across the area.

Although Mystery can be used as an Authority to kill with ease, it does not mean that high-level entities of Mystery possessing intelligence will strictly follow the rules of Mystery to conduct their affairs.

The tentacles attacked at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound. As they struck, countless sonic boom clouds appeared in the sky, emitting roars that shattered the air, instantly breaking glass and causing the very earth to tremble.

One could imagine that each strike of such tentacles carried the power of a missile bombardment. With the massive monster in the sky swinging hundreds of tentacles of various sizes at once, a direct hit on the ground would be an impact no less than a small nuclear explosion.

This is the horror of high-level Mystery; in ancient times, they would undoubtedly be the gods worshipped in the traditional sense of humanity.

However, amidst the golden radiance Artoria bloomed at this very moment, the tentacles' attacks were blocked before she even made a move. About a hundred meters above the ground, the tentacles made contact with the golden light, only to be directly repelled, shattered, and then disintegrated by the influence of the golden magic.

That shining magic, which completely countered Mystery, represented the radiance of Artoria, the radiance of King Arthur, and the power held by the Wielder of the Star Sword.

This power was bestowed upon Artoria by Su Yun, who represents the Planetary Will.

And at this moment, the final decisive radiance of the holy sword erupted completely.

It is—

Noble Phantasm True Name Release—

"Ex..."

She raised her hand, exerting all her strength to swing the blade!

"calibur!!!"

In an instant, a golden torrent, a pillar of light like a tsunami, rose from the ground and pierced the sky, completely engulfing the massive Star Corruptor. The terrifying body of this high-level Mystery was utterly annihilated in this radiance, which represented the Planetary Will and the planet's fury, unable to put up even a second of resistance.

The terrifying light even pierced through the atmosphere and struck into outer space.

Looking at the Earth from space, it appeared as if a golden pillar of light had emerged.

This is the true power of the Star Sword!

And it is also...

The immortal radiance of the King of Eternity in this world.
