Chapter 10: The Mystery of the Knight
The knight's attack came without warning, and I was taken by surprise.
Although there was a short distance between them, the burning, hellish flames in the knight's eyes were clearly visible.
Although I had long seen that the Unknown Knight had a grudge against me, I didn't expect it to reach such a level.
It seems to have reached the point where I have to use my life to erase it!
…………
Still, after so much going through, I'm not one of those shivering novices anymore.
Surprise only lingered in my heart for a moment, and the determination to fight completely took over my body.
Although I am not sure that I will fight the Nameless Knight for a long time, I can still deal with it with just a few moves.
…………
"Shirou run! You're no match for him! The girl's cry seemed to come from a long way away.
Looking past the nameless knight who was hurrying towards him, the blonde girl was chasing after him with all her might.
"I'm sorry, Artoria, I don't have a choice."
Speaking softly in a voice that only I could hear, I projected the weapon into my hand.
…………
As far as I can remember, I've never crossed paths with people like me, let alone formed a grudge.
So, I had to use my full strength to take the other person's blow.
At the very least, understand what he hated me.
…………
Just ten paces away from me, the Nameless Knight leaped into the air, carrying a sword raised above his head, and slashed at me!
Standing in lunges with my legs, I used all my strength to hold my weapon above my head.
"Although I don't know what grudges you and I have, don't try to take advantage of it easily!"
Standing still and not retreating, I have to be honest and use my own strength to tell the other party this.
…………
As I stood by, the Unknown Knight slammed his sword into my defenses.
Baste!
It wasn't the imaginary sound of iron objects colliding with each other.
It's more like the sound of an iron rod hitting an extremely elastic rubber-like object and being bounced back.
…………
"Hmm......"
The Nameless Knight let out a dull grunt.
Immediately, under my surprised gaze, his tall body was actually bounced back into the air behind him.
…………
No...... No way!
I hurriedly looked at the weapon in my hand.
At this sight, I almost fainted to the ground.
…………
Where is this sword!
Looking down, I saw a longbow with a dark body and extremely elegant curves, which I held in both hands.
What's going on? I was thinking of a sword, but what appeared in my hand was a bow!
…………
Although he was caught off guard and was knocked away, the Nameless Knight's skills were also very athletic.
Adjusting his body in the air, the latter flipped back in an extremely dashing position, and landed firmly on the ground behind him.
It's just that his heels haven't stood firm yet, so he has to dodge sideways with some embarrassment.
Because at this time, the girl's attack also arrived.
…………
With a quick reaction to dodge the girl's triple blow, the Nameless Knight cleverly used his sliding steps to widen the distance.
The Nameless Knight stood still, silently looking at the girl who was already standing in front of me, on full alert.
…………
"Your Excellency, you have violated the rules of knightly duels, why did you secretly attack my companions? Even if you choose to give up your knighthood for the time being, don't you have a little bit of the ethics of a knight in your heart?! ”
Apparently furious, the girl loudly reprimanded the Unknown Knight's actions.
"I don't quite understand that. If I've inadvertently offended you before, can I explain that? If it's really my fault, I'm willing to apologize or make amends. ”
In the face of the unknown knight, I also put the doubts in my heart and thought about it.
…………
"Huh...... Hehehehehehe......"
Abruptly, someone was laughing.
Shriveled and full of sad grin.
Neither from me, nor from a girl.
Nameless knight, he's laughing.
…………
The sword in the girl's hand was held a little tighter.
"If you're still a man, don't be like a mouse, just cowering and hiding behind!"
The sword in his hand was pointed at me, and the voice of the unknown knight was full of disdain.
The first to react to the knight's words was the girl who was on guard in front of me.
"Your Excellency, please immediately retract your unwarranted slander against my lover! Otherwise, I will ......"
…………
"No !!!"
The nameless knight suddenly roared hard, interrupting the girl's next words.
“…… Why do you want to go so far?! O my king......!!! ”
Every word in the knight's mouth was filled with tears of blood, and it was shocking.
…………
“……!”
The girl's eyes widened.
"You call me...... What the?! ”
…………
At this point, I realized that I couldn't just stand behind the girl.
He stepped forward to the girl's side and stood side by side with her.
…………
The Nameless Knight slowly raised his hands and took off his helmet at a slower pace.
The first thing that came out was long purple hair.
Then, there is a straight forehead, deep eyes, a straight nose, and well-defined lips......
When the helmet was completely removed, the man's face was completely exposed to us.
This is a handsome and majestic man.
Even if he was wearing the most ordinary inferior iron armor, he couldn't hide the dazzling charm that emanated from his whole body.
…………
"Impossible...... How could this be ......"
The moment she saw the man, the girl's body trembled violently.
"Artoria, calm down! Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on? ”
As usual, I held the girl's hand, which was beginning to become stiff, and tried to transfer my temperature to her.
However, this time, no matter how much I soothed it, the girl's palm was still cold, and there was no sign of returning to normal at all.
This situation is unprecedented.
…………
"My friend...... Lancelot ...... Why are you ...... here?"
Biting her bloodless lower lip, the girl's lowered pupils were full of struggle.
…………
"What, you're Lancelot?!"
Looking at the man in front of me, my heart was also turbulent.
…………
Lancelot, the "Knight of the Lake", the greatest Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend.
It is rumored that he is not only a strong martial artist, but also courteous, and has established countless feats, and is the undoubted first knight of the round table.
However, it was his inappropriate affair with Princess Guinevere that largely led to the collapse of the Round Table. Many people in later generations even said that his move was the root cause of Camelot's twilight.
Lancelot, a legendary knight who has been praised and criticized!
…………
At this moment, I met the most famous knight of the round table, head-on!
