A Bitter Lament

On Camelot, atop one of the outermost towers, Boggart gazed into the distance, feeling utterly exhausted—not physically, but emotionally.

"This is insane..."

This is the watchtower where Boggart and Habetrot are on reconnaissance duty. But when he saw what was happening in the distance, he still found it unbelievable. It was a tide of Mors, with giant monsters that were as big as the tower itself, and some Calamity incarnations that were as tall as the Norwich Calamity.

"I just want to survive, why is it so difficult?"

"Alright, young man, stop complaining. What kind of person are you, bowing your head and sighing at the slightest difficulty? It's just some Calamity and curse."

The veteran fairy knight Habetrot, standing to the side, looked at the demoralized Boggart with a disgruntled expression, saying that she looked just like a stern elder, even though her figure didn't really give off that kind of seriousness.

"What do you know? I'm not like you. I... I only chose this path to survive, but now all this..."

"I heard you belong to the Mirror Clan. The Mirror Clan's prophetic abilities are always accurate. Didn't you see your fate after this battle?"

"I saw it. I became Mors, dead beyond dead," Boggart said irritably, taking a deep breath to suppress his trembling body.

"But the Queen and the King's consort are nowhere to be seen in my prophecy. Since this factor is not present, the prophecy is merely for reference... In any case, I will survive."

Boggart fled the Mirror Clan before to survive, and he does the same now, but the difference is that this time, he has nowhere left to retreat.

Just as Boggart finished gathering intelligence on the surrounding Mors offensive, a voice came from above. "Oh, you're still alive? I thought Morgan had already killed you and used your corpse to make the Clan Bell."

The two looked up at the sky and saw a dark, shadowy insect.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the barrier formed by the Holy Lance in the Great Hollow, tiny insects began to crawl out from the cracks, dripping thick liquid onto the instruments. Instantly, the entire protective barrier began to emit a corrosive and pungent odor.

The first wave of attacks on the Queen's Tower came not from the Mors, but from the fairies of Camelot.

"Caw, Your Majesty, what do you mean by this!"

"Why do you say we are not qualified, Your Majesty? Answer us!"

"Gentlemen, the Queen has rebelled! She has betrayed us, betrayed Britain! We must storm in and make His Majesty accept us!"

Countless fairies rushed towards the Queen's Tower. Morgan's words had filled all the fairies with indignation. By what right? By what right were they judged guilty? Were they barred from going to Pan-Human History?

Such an ending was unacceptable. Countless fairies rushed towards the Queen's Tower, only to be crushed into mincemeat by Morgan's immense magic. Clearly, a direct assault was futile against the Winter Queen, and the fairies desperately sought other solutions.

Just then, someone spoke up:

"I think I just saw Muryan in the Queen's Library. She's resourceful, even more intelligent than Aurora. Let's go ask her for answers."

The remaining fairies flocked to the Queen's Library, where Muryan was indeed present. Now that it was confirmed that the Wing Clan's Clan Bell had not been destroyed, Morgan had no reason to keep her there.

Koyanskaya was clearly willing to help, so Muryan hoped she could take him to the Queen's Library, a place where fairies would never normally come.

After all, fairies merely imitate human life, and it's too difficult to expect such creatures to learn from books. They are basically only interested in stories and dramas of Pan-Human History, and they only scratch the surface, wanting to have fun without thinking about how to create such fun.

Therefore, there is only one library, but it does contain a wealth of valuable information, which is why Muryan came here, seeking an answer.

If everything is doomed, then the Fang Clan will most likely be wiped out as well. Even if the Fang Clan can withstand the Calamity, without Morgan's coordination, these guys will probably destroy everyone first.

So why not go and search? Search for Britain's past, search for the reasons behind Morgan's actions.

When the group of fairies rushed in, Muryan had already finished reading the "founding history" of the Fairy Britain. It was so absurd that she herself found it unbelievable. What did it mean that passive resistance led to the destruction of the Daichi's civilization? What did it mean that they used poisoned wine to kill the antler god Cernunnos who protected them?

No wonder... there was that kind of thing in the Great Hollow.

"But even so, it's still a bit much to apply the sins committed by our predecessors to us..."

Her hands trembled slightly. Suddenly, she noticed a very old book tucked inside the bookshelf, its pages wrinkled. It was a biography, and the author was someone she knew well—the savior, Ash.

As Bai Mo touched Cernunnos, he instantly sensed the immense power within Cernunnos and the terrifying curse that emanated from it.

At this moment, Bai Mo's perception penetrated even further. His powerful Magnetic Field Power brought him an overwhelming sense of perception, and he instantly understood the situation of Cernunnos. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine; things were worse than he had thought.

The curse of Cernunnos is not just a simple connection to the whole of Britain. If you look closely, you can clearly sense the traces left by the Magnetic Field Power, and even the presence of Primordial Spirit.

Because of the existence of this Magnetic Field Power, the extent of its curse's penetration far exceeded his expectations. Simply put, this guy has basically permeated all the land above the Inner Sea of the Planet, and even spread out of the Storm Wall, seeping into the outside world.

At this moment, the roots of the curse have spread throughout the entire Northern Hemisphere, except for the Atlantic Lostbelt.

"Um, I have a question. In this situation, if all illusions are removed, what impact will these curses have on the original world?"

"This... will most likely lead to the extinction of the Northern Hemisphere."

In Chaldea, Dr. Roman stared at the data before him, his lips twitching as he answered Bai Mo.

The biggest problem is that these curses are not the kind of things that can be dispelled. They are things that truly require long-term hatred to accumulate slowly. Even if Cernunnos is killed, these curses that have seeped into the Daichi may not disappear.

Even... having infiltrated to this extent, could Britain still be transferred? These things have probably already penetrated deep into Britain soil like weeds.

Bai Mo passed the information to Morgan, who then activated his Magnetic Field Power to make contact with Cernunnos's body. But the next moment, countless scarlet spheres appeared around him, staring at Bai Mo like eyes.

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
