It's back to a little earlier.

Lily and the two Greek heroes were still in the tower, and Larry had just left, and the three of them were waiting in the king's chamber a little bored, waiting for the signal that Larry had said.

Achilles and Atalanta behaved more casually, after all, they were not from Britain, and they didn't know that this was King Arthur's room, Atalanta was more serious about looking at the outside world through the window, while Achilles sat on the table very casually.

As for Lily, she looked a little nervous.

On the one hand, because this is the king's room, although her brother Kai is a knight of the round table, but because of this relationship, her respect for the king cannot be reduced, is it really good to come to this kind of place without permission?

On the other hand, it's what Larry said.

The sword of the stars that the fairy of the lake gave her? The sword will bring victory for itself, and the scabbard will protect itself? Want to gain the approval of the Holy Sword yourself and use its powers?

If it weren't for Larry's haste to leave and not give Lily a chance to speak, she would have asked three questions.

What does it mean? What's that? What's going on? I don't understand!

Although Larry already knew that Lily in this peculiarity was just an ordinary girl next door, the concept that existed in the subconscious still naturally regarded her as the true body of the king who could understand these things.

Larry felt that since the holy sword had been returned to its original owner, Lily should naturally be able to understand the meaning contained in it.

However, the truth is not as Larry thinks, and Lily is quite difficult to understand the explanation provided by Larry, the description of the Holy Sword.

What is a lake nymph? What is the Star Sword? What does that have to do with yourself? How on earth do you have to talk to this rather delicate blade and gain its approval?

In other words, what does it mean to be recognized by the Holy Sword!

This is probably the most puzzling thing Lily has ever seen Larry do since she came into contact with him.

You can tell me what it means! Are you still going to let people guess slowly?

This puzzling feeling even made the girl who didn't feel very irritable feel a little bit of this feeling, and if it weren't for Larry's last words, she would definitely be a little dissatisfied by now.

[For the sake of the inhabitants of the city.] 】

Truth be told, if it weren't for Larry reminding Lily of this, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to think about these things anymore.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Lily became serious again.

Although Larry didn't give her an adequate explanation this time, only this sentence can also explain one point: the things that Larry is pointing to are all about solving the current crisis in Britain.

Combined with the fact that Larry had them wait here for a signal to attack the black dragon, it seemed that the power possessed by the Holy Sword was the key to defeating the black dragon.

And Larry put such an important matter in his hands.... Is it?

Lily was a little puzzled, why is this happening?

If you want to say that Artoria can be called a thing of strength now, probably only the superhuman intuition, but just the appearance is still insufficient, there is no combat power at all, even in the week that Larry left, Lily also asked Kai for swordsmanship, but what she learned was only some scratching the surface.

Isn't it a bit too casual to let her use this vital treasure?

After all, why doesn't Larry use it herself?

Probably because she had never taken over such an important thing, Lily was a little panicked and didn't know what to do, after all, what is the so-called recognition? Probably even Larry himself didn't know, but just said that, but it caused a lot of psychological pressure on Lily.

At this time, Artoria did not leave the category of ordinary people, and only thought about one thing.

In case of failure .... What to do?

What if she hadn't understood what Larry was saying when it was time for her to strike the fatal blow after Larry had signaled? Will everything be reduced to ashes?

The more she thinks about it, the more it will cause strong psychological pressure, and it is obvious that Lily is a little overwhelmed by this strong pressure, and her breathing rhythm has become disordered.

A person's words are often limited by the pressure generated by this self-psychology, which makes any action quite difficult, but fortunately, Lily at this time is not the only person.

"Are you alright? Artoria. Atalanta asked, taking Lily's slightly trembling hand.

"Huh? Well.... It's okay. As he spoke, his voice trembled a little, and he couldn't tell that he was okay at all.

"Calm down, Artoria." Atalanta sighed slightly and looked at the holy sword in Lily's hand, but she had guessed this result from the moment Larry explained the origin of the holy sword to Lily just now.

It's just an irresponsible person who runs away without saying anything.

"Don't worry, Artoria, the two of us will deal with that black dragon, you don't have too much pressure, don't think about these things, it's not something you need to think about in the first place."

Atalanta also knew that Lily was just an ordinary girl, and unlike a warrior trained like her, dealing with such a black dragon should not have been done with her.

This is also what she can't understand, it's not that she is suspicious of Larry anything, it's just that Larry's actions at the moment are completely different from the considerations he showed when he negotiated with him before, and it feels like Larry's IQ has suddenly decreased.

How could she suddenly be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility as an ordinary girl? It's just a matter of being strong.

Lily let out a sigh of relief, and hearing Atalanta's reassurance, she realized that she couldn't continue to think like this, even if it wasn't to bother the others.

Atalanta's words did help Lily adjust her mindset so that the invisible pressure was no longer so great.

But it still exists.

This is also because Lily's own feelings, she always thinks that Larry should not do such a stupid thing, maybe there are some other intentions, and she is not aware of it?

This forced her to revisit the holy sword.

Seeing that Lily's expression was relieved and she picked up the holy sword and took a cue, Atalanta quietly returned to the window, paying attention to whether Ryry had sent a signal.

And the change also comes from this.

Thinking too much about Larry's words made Lily not pay attention to the sword, so that after focusing on it at this point, she noticed something different on the holy sword.

In terms of shape, the holy sword is undoubtedly quite ordinary, except for the parts that look quite valuable and the ornamentation on the sword body, there is basically no big difference from the ordinary long sword, and is this the holy sword given by the fairy in the lake?

If, according to Ryry, this holy sword has the power to kill the black dragon, then there must be something contained in it, otherwise it will not make this holy sword much stronger than an ordinary long sword by just changing some materials.

Approval....

Is it recognized?

Larry is talking about Lily getting the approval of the Holy Sword so that she can use the power of the Holy Sword, but this plain-looking blade really doesn't look like something that can be talked to.

Or does Larry mean something else by recognition?

It should be like this, yes, since it is a Star Sacred Sword given by the fairy in the lake, then even if it looks like an ordinary long sword on the outside, the things contained in it must be different.

Or it can be said that there is nothing special about the blade itself, and what is special is contained in the blade, and what Larry is talking about is not to make Lily get the approval of the holy sword, but the recognition of what is contained inside the holy sword.

After all, it's hard to imagine that a weapon has a sane or something, from Lily's point of view.

So, what is this thing that Larry does not have a connotation?

Is it something to do with the fairies in the lake? Or is it something else?

But even if that's the case, Lily can't feel this kind of thing, huh?

Thinking about falling into the quagmire again, which made Lily a little frustrated, of course, she didn't put too much pressure on herself like before, and she also understood that this kind of thing should be urgent, at least that, Larry should be aware of it.

Or so Lily thinks.

What sustained her ability to continue thinking were the inhabitants of Camelone.

Even the most naïve people are always a little touched when they see the scorched earth burned by the flames, the crowds fleeing in all directions, and the ruined capital, not to mention that Lily has been watching that miserable scene from inside the city to outside the city at that time.

At that time, it was only in Connaught, a place that had nothing to do with Lily, an Englishman, and she also had a slight sense of sadness, feeling sad for those who were powerless to resist due to natural disasters.

What if such a catastrophe befell Camelot?

If the fleeing crowd is a resident of Camelot, the house burned by the fire is Camelot's house..... Just thinking about this kind of scene, Lily feels a little scary.

It was just miserable.

It was so miserable that Lily didn't even want to think about it, and because of that, she definitely didn't want it to happen.

I don't know if it's because of this kind of troubled reason, even if she is just an ordinary girl now, let alone dealing with the black dragon, it is a question whether even an ordinary soldier can fight, but it has a different feeling.

Want.... Defeat that black dragon and want to.... Victory.

Although she knew that she didn't have that power, Larry said that this holy sword had the power to defeat the black dragon.

So, if she can use this power, will she be able to ..... Defeat that black dragon, and that miserable scene will never happen.

The girl thought so and looked forward to it.

And this expectation seems to have produced something that resonates with it.

This kind of resonance occurred from the holy sword, and the golden glimmer spread along the blade, turning into countless tiny particles that echoed in the air, which was simply a miracle, and the scattered light even made Achilles and Atalanta turn their heads to look at it.

Lily looked at the changes on the Holy Sword with some confusion, she didn't do anything, but there was such a situation, is this what Larry said?

No, not at all, Lily seemed to be whispering something in her ear, but it was too loud for her to hear what it was.

There was just something that Lily could feel, and it wasn't the feeling conveyed by the Holy Sword, but something that she, and only the super instincts she would produce, could feel.

The voice tells the story, the voice tells the longing.

The voice was saying: We want to win.

It's just that this feeling, Lily feels very clearly, as if the competitive desire she had just generated at that moment has been magnified countless times, and it has the same resonance with tens of thousands of people.

Yes, the Holy Sword makes the Holy Sword forged by the planet, but the raw materials used to forge the blade are not provided by the planet, but by people.

The countless souls who died on the battlefield, the desire condensed by the warlike warriors, and the dedication to victory, resonated with them, even if they died on the battlefield, even if they died here, they hoped to obtain the supremacy with the last strength of their lives, and they longed for incomparable victory.

Hence the name it was given.

——————

"Ex-calibur (Sword of Victory)!"

The light and heat generated by the magic converged at the tip of the blade, and the power was unleashed with a swing from above, creating a wave of light that pierced the sky and headed from the head of Camelot's castle towards the falling black dragon.

Lily never imagined that she would have such inexhaustible power herself.

Before, she didn't have any perception of magic, or rather, she didn't know that her body was created to create the strongest person, and the reserves and recovery ability of that magic power were the only ones in the world, but this power was sealed by someone, and even she didn't know it.

But after coming into contact with the Holy Sword, especially the voice of the desire for victory, this power was awakened again.

Even Lily's personality seems to have undergone some kind of irreversible change.

At this moment, she was extremely eager for victory, as if she was one with the countless souls that longed for victory, and the power of the holy sword was also infinitely stimulated.

Although Larry didn't take Lily's specific situation into account, his approach was actually not too problematic.

No matter what kind of seal or concealment, this holy sword was originally a weapon given to her by the fairy of the lake, and it was also a matter of fate that she could use this weapon, and sometimes, she just needed a little help.

The Holy Sword's brilliance expanded brighter than the sun, and the scorching waves of light pierced through the air, even raising the temperature around it by a few points.

Finally, the light wave fell on the falling black dragon, engulfing it all over.

The blazing heat dissolved the scales, the flesh, and not even the bones left for it.

Just like a reservoir that has been stored for more than ten years suddenly opened its dam to prevent waterproofing, releasing all the water stored in the reservoir, Lily's release of a light cannon is even more exaggerated than Larry expected.

The brilliance of the holy sword swept across the plains, and even burned a very conspicuous ravine, as Larry said, the power possessed by the holy sword is able to defeat the black dragon, and not only the black dragon, I'm afraid that even if it is a more powerful existence, relying on the magic power released by Lily this time, it will probably be able to break it.

After a single blow, Lily sat on the ground as if she had been hollowed out, unable to even grasp the holy sword.

But one thing remains constant.

That's the smile on the girl's face.

But it's different from the sweet or innocent smile that came before.

It was a smile full of perseverance after the victory.
