155 The Root of Contradictions
This can be described as a fateful battle, or a battle that will inevitably happen.
And for the two who were looking at each other face to face, this was a battle they already knew.
"Is that you? How did you end up here? Medea knew who she was when she saw the red artist, but what surprised her was why she suddenly appeared on this land, or rather, she shouldn't have been here.
"Don't talk nonsense, Medea, hurry up and do what you have to do, this guy will be left to me." As she spoke, Morgan Le Fay raised her hands, and the fiery red magic began to gather on her hands, forming two solid rings, and correspondingly, two larger rings of fire appeared around Merlin.
Merlin's response was also very fast, he used his superb swordsmanship to instantly break through the incoming ring of fire, and at the same time, his body quickly flashed out of people's field of vision.
This is a battlefield that Medea can't touch, although her magic strength is already the top in this era, but it is still a lot worse than these two existences that cannot be compared with ordinary people.
The Son of Nightmare and the inheritor of the Power of the Island, in either case, is much stronger than a simple human like Medea, and even if she has a high level of talent, she cannot compare to these two beings who can be called monsters.
Just like now, the two of them disappeared from Medea's vision in an instant, and she didn't capture the trajectory of their movements at all, in other words, either of them had the ability to sneak up on Medea's back and kill her with a knife.
This is already an unbridgeable gap, and this sudden sense of defeat makes Medea a little overwhelmed.
After digesting the information for a while, Medea finally recovered from the sudden sense of defeat, although Merlin's strength is indeed very strong, but now he has been restrained by Morgan Le Fay, Medea does not know which of the two of them is stronger, but as long as Merlin does not affect his actions, it is enough.
With this in mind, Medea began to move in the air, once again designing magic spells in preparation for the next magic bombardment.
As for the two people in the fight, the intensity of the battle was far less terrifying, except that both of them were moving at a speed that the naked eye could not catch, but they did not attack each other too much.
Because they are equally aware of each other's strength.
Merlin's illusion would essentially protect him from any fatal damage, and unless Morgan Le Fay could kill him with a single blow, Merlin would be unlikely to be defeated by her.
In the same way, Morgan Le Fay, who has the [Island Power], can use the advantage of strength to forcibly defuse the opponent's attack, which is the power given by the entire British Island, and even in this qualification, she is much stronger than her own sister Artoria, which is probably the source of her jealousy.
After all, she was the one with the talent, and if it weren't for Merlin and King Uther who planned and prepared everything to create Artoria, who was born for king, Morgan Le Fay wouldn't be what she is now.
She is the one with talent, but her father prefers his sister, not to mention that Merlin, as Morgan Le Fay's teacher, also puts all his energy on Artoria, which leads to a series of things, all of which are only attributed to Morgan Le Fay's jealousy and hatred of Artoria.
Of course, this can also be said to be the unpredictable fate, if it weren't for these things that led to the change in Morgan Le Fay's attitude towards Artoria, maybe this peculiarity itself would not have been formed, after all, in essence, Artoria did not have any point that angered Morgan Le Fay, if she had to say, the jealousy she incurred was completely caused by what the people around her did.
"Oh, the use of [Island Power] is more mature than before, and it seems that even if you leave Britain, you will not be less connected than this island." Merlin commented on Morgan Le Fay's strength in a triumphant tone.
If the former Merlin could still suppress Morgan Le Fay when she had not yet mastered the [Power of the Island], then now, Morgan Le Fay's strength is completely comparable to Merlin, even if he tries his best, he may not be able to defeat Morgan Le Fay, and he may be countered by the other party.
"Is this what you and your friends are planning? Skillfully master the power of the island, and master everything with supreme power? Merlin continued to evaluate Morgan Le Fay's power, and the reason why he asked this question was because he realized that there was something different in this powerful power.
"No, it doesn't look like that's it." Another attack from Morgan Le Fay seemed deliberate, and Morgan Le Fay unleashed something different from [Island Power], allowing Merlin to perceive what it was.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with [Island Power], but it is not the power of the British Isles, but the power of the entire European continent.
The difference between these two forces is still very obvious, but Merlin can also feel that the power that belongs to the European continent is not complete, otherwise, the power it can exert should be more powerful than the [Island Power] of Britain.
"Is this the power you seek? Morgan Le Fay. Merlin looked at the other party seriously, the [Power of the Island] is not so easy to obtain, not to mention that the people and lands on the entire European continent do not belong to one side, and there should not be a situation where the [Power of the Island] of the entire continent is concentrated in one person.
"Isn't this to deal with you? Relying only on Britain's [Island Power], I can't suppress you, now, although I haven't controlled all the power of the European continent, but it should be enough to use it against you, and you know that my ultimate goal is to take revenge on my dear sister. ”
"Wouldn't it be better if you just did it? Artoria now, but there is no power to stop your actions, no matter what you want to do, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
Merlin was not referring to the king, who was fighting the enemy on the battlefield with the holy spear in his hand, but Artoria, who did not know about this and was just living as an ordinary girl.
If it weren't for the return of the holy sword to her hands, then Lily would still be a powerless girl, and with Morgan Le Fay's current strength, she could be easily crushed to death.
Or does Morgan Le Fay's revenge mean to kill him?
Of course, there are more important things to think about before considering these things.
"Are you playing dumb Merlin? Don't think I didn't find out the trap you set on her, although I suppressed her power and made her an ordinary person, as long as her life is threatened, it will pose a threat to my existence, do you think I really didn't find out? ”
Morgan Le Fay's words made Merlin, who pretended to be serious with a tense face, instantly return to his cynical appearance.
"Ah, so you found out, I thought you didn't attack her for some other reason, it looks like you have gained a lot of power when you came into contact with that demon god."
It should be said that a serious appearance is not suitable for Merlin, or in a situation that is not the end of the world, he has no reason to feel nervous, which is also a matter of course, after all, as a candidate for Grand Caster, his strength has reached the point of being proud of the others.
Especially because of the Nightmare Blood, which makes him like to tease the humans in front of him with an observer attitude.
Therefore, he would never be very serious about anyone, even in the face of his former disciple Morgan Le Fay.
"It's not just power, there's a lot of things I didn't know." Morgan Le Fay's eyes suddenly froze.
This makes Merlin have a rare different feeling, if you have to say it, it is because the person in front of him is too similar to the king over there, of course, as a half-sister, it is not too similar to have such a degree of similarity, especially the difference between the two in temperament, which can make people clearly distinguish the two.
The king's temperament is solemn, although the fake king is a little softer now, but this does not change its essence, after all, it is a red dragon created by Merlin and King Uther to exist only to become a king.
But Morgan Le Fay is different.
As the eldest daughter, she is also the true inheritor of [Island Power], but she is not loved by her father, but her own sister Artoria, whether it is her father, Merlin or other characters, they all favor her.
Of course, this effect is not to say that Morgan Le Fay has done anything wrong, in the words of Knight of the Round Table: "That guy used to be a good woman, but I don't know when it became so evil, even if I approached her, I would feel a chill." ”
Morgan Le Fay's transformation, and her hatred of King Arthur, all came from their father, King Uther.
King Uther thought that he would be the last king to be protected by the power of the island, so in desperation, Merlin negotiated to create an heir who only existed for the king, and that was the symbol of the red dragon, King Arthur.
But in fact, [Island Power] did not end in King Uther's generation, it was inherited by Morgan Le Fay, if you look at it from this point of view alone, Britain may even be more recognized than King Arthur himself.
This imbalance and conflict created the witch Morgan Lefey, the enemy of King Arthur.
Of course, it must also be noted that in the canonical history, Morgan Le Fay is even the mother of half of the Knights of the Round Table, and Aggay is also one of them, but the children she sent to join the Knights of the Round Table as assassins are the only ones in the canon who raised the banner of rebellion against the king, while the others all defected to the king's side.
That's not what happened inside this anomaly, though.
The root of Morgan Le Fay's hatred for King Arthur should be that Merlin pushed Artoria to become king, but in fact, in this peculiarity, Merlin and Artoria herself were suppressed before she became king, and it was the fake that became king, and the names including Merlin, Morgan Le Fay, and the Fairy of the Lake also disappeared at that time.
But he didn't want to, the Knights of the Round Table after him, whether it was Mordred or Agga, still existed, which was something that Larry didn't expect.
The bigger question is why Morgan Le Fay had such a strong hatred for Artoria before she became king, which is worth investigating and is the source of all problems.
From what Morgan Le Fay said just now, Merlin understood.
"You see? What do you see? Future? Merlin's eyes narrowed, this time he was no longer pretending to be serious, but realizing something terrible.
Seeing the future is not an unusual thing for Merlin.
The EX-level clairvoyant is not a joke, but all he can do is let himself see the future, or the future inferred from the current situation, and even can only explain what he sees to others, and if he doesn't have the power that Nightmare has, I'm afraid it's not so easy to explain to others.
But Morgan Le Fay's attitude is like seeing the future in real time, seeing the moment when Artoria becomes king in advance, and thus generating a strong resentment.
That's not even something Merlin can do, Merlin uses clairvoyance to see the future but can't change it, but what Morgan Le Fay has done has clearly changed the direction of the future.
Does that demon god even have more power than Merlin's clairvoyance?
So if you think about it this way, has everything that happened here at this time already been taken into account by it?
"Of course, I saw the hateful deeds that you and my father did, and I also saw that my lovely sister became the king of Britain as a matter of course, otherwise you think I have any need to help that guy, hum~ It's just a mutual benefit, I provide him with a certain place, he comes to strengthen my strength, that's all."
Morgan Le Fay glanced at Merlin and suddenly laughed again.
"Is that something you should be worried about, though? What should you be worried about, aren't you going to deal with me now? ”
Before he could finish speaking, the space around him had changed dramatically.
Perhaps Merlin really shouldn't care about what kind of terrifying power that demon god possesses, but should think about how to deal with the monster that now has the complete [island power] of Britain and the incomplete [island power] of continental Europe.
"Hmm..... It's going to take some effort now. Looking at Morgan Le Fay, who was expanding in front of him, Merlin also entered a serious state.
Although the battle between the two is bound to cause considerable destruction, due to Morgan Le Fay's use of [Island Power], the surrounding space has been completely blocked, and this is the separate battle space for the two of them.
