Outside the City

In the Library of Camelot, Muryan also witnessed the glory of the Holy Sword; she was one of the very few fairies who understood the words of Cernunnos.

"This is absurd. There's absolutely no chance of returning to the Inner Sea of the Planet now... What should we do?"

"Lord Muryan, what do you mean by that?"

The fairies beside them asked, they were fairies who were still in the city and had not yet been moved away, but at this moment, they were no different from the fairies outside, and in some ways even worse.

Because the fairies inside the city are basically just thrown out by Morgan as bait to attract the Calamity of the Beast. Outside, as long as you keep your distance, you still have a chance to survive. But inside Camelot, no one knows whether they will be transferred to the outside world by the Water Mirror in the next second and become food in the mouth of that giant Calamity.

Out of fear, these fairies also began to seek refuge. Morgan clearly no longer needed them, so they naturally turned to the clan chief of the Wing Clan.

But Muryan's mood wasn't exactly good. No matter how hard she tried to think, she couldn't find a way out for the fairy. Especially after learning that Morgan was Ash.

"This is terrible... Fine, I'll have to figure out a solution myself. I'll give you the answer; you can figure out how to break this deadlock yourselves. I... I'm out of ideas."

Muryan put down the book in his hand and left without looking back. The remaining fairies swarmed around it, flipping through the book. In the end, it was a stronger Fang Clan who managed to take the book.

There was no other way. Indeed, for Muryan, the only thing that could bring her some comfort was that all the fairies had to be destroyed, so that the Fang Clan fairies who had destroyed the Wing Clan back then wouldn't be able to escape either.

No fairy can escape.

"Koyanskaya, what do I need to give in return for hiring you now?"

Muryan asked Koyanskaya beside her, "I've seen that look in your eyes far too many times. It's the look of someone who's desperate. Shi Tokiomi had that look in his eyes back then too."

If you want to exploit someone to death and take everything away from them, then showing that kind of look is the best opportunity. Koyanskaya knew this very well, but she could only sigh helplessly.

"Are you sure you want to use up your last bit of goodwill here?"

"Yes, unlike Morgan, I can't just stand by and watch the fairies perish like this."

Even after recognizing what these so-called fairies really are?

Muryan didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

With Koyanskaya's six tails enveloped her, and she vanished from Camelot.

Beyond the high walls, the fairies in the distance were all watching Camelot. The Calamity of the Beast was attacking with all its might, but it was difficult to do so against Camelot's walls for the time being, and it even suffered many attacks from time to time.

As for those giant black dogs, Morgan had already used Magecraft to drain their life force, magical power, and Magnetic Field Power, turning them into dried corpses.

"Phew, what should we do now...?"

"That huge thing just now, what was it saying when it suddenly rushed out? I couldn't understand a word, but Mors keeps appearing. Why doesn't Morgan open the city gates?"

The goblins gathered on the hillside. Some whispered among themselves, while others muttered curses against Morgan. But without exception, they were all waiting—waiting for the Calamity of the Beast to depart so they could return to Britain.

Footsteps approached, and everyone turned to look. Woodwose had appeared out of nowhere, carrying a large clock on his back, inside which was Aurora.

"Lord Woodwose, Aurora!"

Upon seeing these two, the goblins finally found their leader. Woodwose ignored them, put Aurora down, and then picked up the Clan Bell again.

"That's enough for now, I'm going in. I've tried before, Camelot rejects you, Aurora, though I don't know why, but this place is still relatively safe."

Aurora, you can stay here for now.

Aurora's face was full of anxiety; she clung tightly to the Clan Bell with both hands, refusing to budge an inch.

"No, this can't be, Woodwose. You have to take me in, take me to Camelot. How can you leave me out here to die?"

Woodwose was both annoyed and speechless. He tried his best to tolerate the guy's unreasonable behavior. He had already tried, but Britain's defenses were against Aurora. Even if he made a scene here, he still couldn't get in.

"Alright, perhaps there was some unexpected situation. Don't worry, beautiful and kind Aurora, after I go in, I will ask His Majesty for permission to take you in."

"... Alright, but please don't lie to me, sir."

Aurora released her grip and gently stroked Woodwose's chest. Although it was all furry, it still gave Woodwose a sense of satisfaction, while the fairies around them looked on with envy and jealousy.

"Hey, don't worry, how could a kind fairy like you be turned away? Please wait a moment."

Woodwose kissed her cheek, then hoisted the Clan Bell onto his back and walked away without looking back.

Only then did the fairies have the mind to look at Aurora. Aurora turned her head and immediately flashed her signature smile at the remaining fairies:

"No need to worry, everyone. The Queen must have made a mistake, that's why we're trapped outside. The words of that giant horned monster are nothing to fear; we are Her Majesty's subjects."

"But His Majesty said before that he would no longer save us, this..."

One of the fairies spoke up, while Aurora took a deep breath, and then a resolute look appeared in her eyes.

"If that's the case, then I will lead you all to conquer Camelot at all costs!"

Seeing Aurora's attitude and her relationship with Woodwose, many fairies cheered and expressed their willingness to follow Aurora. Seeing this familiar, adoring gaze, Aurora smiled, and even the pain in her body lessened considerably.

She looked up at the sky, where a streak of azure light slashed across the back of the Calamity of the Beast, spraying blood and curses, yet it couldn't touch her in the slightest.

"Melusine..."

Aurora gazed at the shimmering lake in the sky, her whispered words sounding like a vicious curse, filled with unbearable resentment.

Having devoted myself to two men and flattered them relentlessly, now, standing beside Woodwose, even the fairies no longer praise me.

You... a piece of rotting flesh I pulled from the swamp, what right do you have to soar high in the sky, shining alone...?

Aurora watched Melusine's figure as she occasionally entered Camelot's protective barrier. The barrier that Aurora herself could not cross was completely useless in front of her.

The thought of being kept out by Camelot's walls only intensified Aurora's hatred.
