Chapter Ninety-Four: The Sun Knight
My name is Elijah,
This is the dream of the Yangtze River Knights...... Probably.
οΌοΌ οΌοΌοΌ οΌοΌοΌ
[I hateββ]
Ryunosuke felt as if he was in a whirlpool that was constantly spinning, and it was pitch black all around, and there was a roar that seemed somewhat familiar in his ears.
No, not in his ears, he couldn't feel his body at all right now.
[-The light!] γ
The voice...... It's Berserker Lancelot, Ryunosuke judged, so here is his dream?
[The more dazzling she is, the more she plunges me into darkness!] γ
The darkness around them began to dissipate, but in their place were large expanses of blood red.
[Why don't you judge me!] γWhy don't you put me to death!γ γ
The boundless blood red completely replaced the deep darkness, and Berserker's voice was still coming from all directions.
Why forgive me! γWhy forgive me!γ γ
The blood red that filled the field of vision gradually faded, and the chaotic space was divided up and down, and Ryunosuke found himself suspended in mid-air, and below was a tragic ancient battlefield.
The corpses of heavy knights, light infantrymen, archers, and horses were piled up high on the mountain, and more of the knights and infantry who were still alive were still fighting on that "mountain" and piling it even higher.
[You are content with your incorruptible and noble knighthood, but you ignore the hatred of the Knights of the Round Table for me-]
Ryunosuke felt himself suddenly begin to descend rapidly towards the edge of the battlefield, where two knights appeared to be facing each other, one of whom was clearly his own Berserker wrapped in ominous black smoke.
[--King, you don't understand the human heart! γ
ββββ
"Gawain, get out of the way!"
Once he felt his body again, Ryunosuke saw Berserker standing in front of him, hoarse but still legible in general.
After waiting for a while, he realized that "himself" had no intention of speaking or acting, and when Berserker had already begun to raise his momentum and prepare to attack, it was time for him to play freely.
Although I am not very familiar with the legend of King Arthur, and it is not easy to judge what the situation should be at this time, I can still analyze some clues from what Berserker said when he used [Lake Light Without Regrets] last time.
"I won't get out of the way, Lancelot," Ryunosuke raised the silver armor in his left hand, patted the pure black fur on his shoulder, and looked at Berserker in front of him, "Traitors are not qualified to fight alongside the king. β
"Betrayer?!" The black-armored knight roared angrily and pointed behind Ryunosuke: "My king's army is already in danger, and you are here to stop me?!" Who is the betrayer! β
"Of course it's you," Ryunosuke checked the armor on his body again, "If you hadn't come, I would have already turned around and lived and died with my king." β
Hah, so who designed this metal part only has shoulder armor, hand armor and combat boots, and most of the body parts are only covered with black leather armor?
"Then let me go with you!" Lancelot raised his sword.
"No, yes, yes!" Although he doesn't know any swordsmanship, Ryunosuke feels that his movements of picking up the long sword are still smooth, maybe because he is in a dream?
"Get out of the way!" Berserker lunged down.
"If the king refuses to give you sanctions, he will leave it to me to carry it out!" Ryunosuke also swung his sword to meet the attack.
Boom ββ!
Berserker cut a massive scar into Ryunosuke's unprotected chest, but he himself was impaled through the abdomen.
"Damn...... Why stop me......" Lancelot's sword fell.
"Because if you see the king, you will go completely insane." Ryunosuke didn't feel the pain, but his consciousness was blurring, so he finally said, "That's ...... Not very easy to communicate. β
ββββ
"Gawain! Gareth! Plus Horis! Get out of the way! β
When consciousness regained consciousness, Berserker stood in front of Ryunosuke again, but he did not wear the helmet on his head that concealed his face, and his eyes shone with a terrifying red light, revealing the face of a beautiful man with long hair that was slightly melancholy between his eyebrows.
"You know, it can't be." Ryunosuke expertly replied to Lancelot while quickly observing his surroundings.
This time, before the sea of people replaced the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and the place of confrontation between the two sides also became a court, Ryunosuke did not look back, but quickly judged that this should be the scene where King Arthur was pressured to execute Queen Guinevere, and Lancelot came to rob the court.
"Last time you escaped," "Shame on the whole round table." β
"Since you're here this time," "Don't think about leaving again!" β
The two voices of Harurai singing and harmonizing behind Ryunosuke should be Gareth and Gahoris mentioned by Lancelot just now?
"Heh, there's nothing between me and Guinevere, and I just don't want to get into conflict with my comrades." Lancelot raised his sword in the direction of a noisy voice coming from behind Ryunosuke, "But if you're going to burn an innocent lady, I can't sit idly by. β
Burned? Ryunosuke looked back to see what the legendary queen looked like, but such an act seemed to Lancelot to be a sign of weakness of heart to give way, so he walked over Ryunosuke with his sword and walked towards the court.
This is the edge of the square, and from a distance, you can only see a woman in a long white dress tied to a pile of wood high in the middle of the crowd, and a king in silver-white and blue armor is standing on a nearby high platform with a sword, surrounded by several knights of the round table.
She had apparently noticed the commotion here, but did not order the other knights to come to her aid.
"Even if Gawain is persuaded by you," "Our brother won't agree." β
"To pass through this," "We must step over our corpses!" β
The two silver-armored knights who had been standing behind Ryunosuke suddenly drew their swords and rushed towards Lancelot, who was striding forward.
It suddenly occurred to Ryunosuke that it seemed that in the legend of King Arthur, those knights all had their own beliefs, and if a battle conflicted with their beliefs, they could choose to stand by and watch that battle, so Gareth and Gahoris were not too surprised by their past behavior of letting Lancelot go.
After only a moment, the two brothers were already in a battle with Lancelot, and although he was in a state of being attacked, he was still able to quickly recover the disadvantage and suppress the two knights.
If they were still defeated in such a fight, the two of them would be disqualified from stopping him in his advance, and it was clear that Gareth and Gahoris were well aware of this, so they looked at each other and gave up their defenses, completely ignoring Lancelot's sword and lunging at him.
Puff puff β
Gareth and Gahoris's armor was not enough to defend against the [Indestructible Lake], and both of them spurted blood and flew upside down, but Lancelot's black armor could not resist the attacks of the two knights at the same time, and was impaled through the abdomen by one of the swords.
This scene is a bit familiar?
As Ryunosuke prepares to capture Lancelot, who is unable to move, his consciousness is blurred again.
ββββ
"Gawain! I won't lose to you! β
Ah, after finally changing his sentence, before he was fully awake, Ryunosuke heard Lancelot's voice, so he thought stupidly.
In this dream, Ryunosuke possessed the Sun Knight Gawain throughout the whole process, and went through all the battles between Gawain and Lancelot backwards according to history, and every time he said to the head: "Gawain!" Get out of the way! β
The only thing that has changed is that his armor is gradually turning back to silver with the passage of time, and his tone and attitude have become polite and amiable, such as this time, which is supposed to be a jousting tournament held by King Arthur, which is the last game to determine the champion.
And it was thanks to Lancelot's final victory in this contest that he won the heart of Queen Guinevere, and it can be said that this battle was the beginning of all the battles and tragedies that followed.
Although he wanted to defeat Lancelot, Lancelot, who had "infinite martial arts", could not be subdued by his half-hung swordsmanship at all, and had exchanged injuries for injuries several times before relying on this as a dream, obviously not in the tournament - because they all used wooden guns, and even if they wanted to do that, they would be judged by the referee.
However, if winning this battle would attract the attention of Queen Guinevere, wouldn't she be in the audience?
Thinking of this, Ryunosuke ignored Lancelot's provocation in front of him and turned his head to look at the audience.
Oh...... Is that blonde, blue-eyed, and hairy little blue knight King Arthur, very similar to the two black and white Sabers, and the lady in white with the crown next to her should be-
οΌοΌοΌ
Isn't that the wife of Kiritsugu Emiya, Alice Phil?!
Looking at her and Blue Saber, no, Artoria's smiling appearance, how could she possibly fall in love with Lancelot!?
"Hey, Gawain, where are you looking? Outside the dueling arena, Mordred, who acted as the referee, raised his big sword and knocked on the guardrail of the ring with dissatisfaction: "Although I haven't announced the start yet, you are disrespectful to Lancelot. γβ
No...... Wait, Mordred? Ryunosuke turned his head and looked at the red and white knight in helmet on the sidelines with a terrifying gaze.
Mordred only came after Lancelot and Guinevere's affair, so she was ......

As if sensing his doubts, Mordred's helmet opened in a strange detached combination, revealing her long, silver hair and red eyes.
βCοΌCasterοΌοΌβ There are so many questions in Ryunosuke's mind that he doesn't know what to ask first.
"Hmph, I'm also very curious, why did the dream of the Yangtze River Knight kidnap me and my mother in, although it was a little troublesome, but it seems that she and Lan Saber get along well, so let it be."
"So," Caster narrowed his eyes: "If you dare to lose this battle, I'll go to Tosaka's house and kill you~"

Bang Dang!
Ryunosuke fell off the couch, still holding the thrust of a spear in his hand.
"Oops...... I woke up at the last moment of the sprint......" Ryunosuke thought back to the dream just now, and if he didn't fine-tune his movements, he would have lost: "Do you want to run away?" β
