Chapter 2008: Battle Trials in the Dawn (43)

"Did you succeed?" Bediwell, who watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but let out a low exclamation when he saw the altar react.

"It's not conclusive yet. Watch patiently. King Arthur squinted his eyes from the sidelines.

The system of generating the Holy Spirit in Avalon is very provocative. For those humble people who are content with the status quo and have no great aspirations at all, this system is not at all dismissive and will not even be activated.

Now that the system has been activated, at least it proves that Albert's [wish] is real and recognized by the system.

But what's going on with this unsettling shock?

This has never been the case before. As the king of Great Britain, the Knight King has also led many people who have become or will become Knights of the Round Table to this altar and watch these people summon their own Holy Spirits. The altar worked to transform [the wish] into a physical form, which should have been a little more "quiet". This earth-shaking shaking is not a normal phenomenon.

Could it be that the [Holy Spirit] that Albert was able to summon was very powerful, even more powerful than the Holy Spirit that the Knights of the Round Table could summon in the past, so it became like this?

Could it be that the system is overloaded?

But...... What's wrong?

The altar only shook, but nothing appeared.

From the beginning of the prayer to the time the altar works, it should be completed in less than a minute. However, it has been shaking and shaking for so long since just now, but nothing appears in front of this altar. The Holy Spirit, which belonged to Albert, was not even seen.

This is...... Is it normal?

"Sure enough, there was a problem. At that moment, a crown appeared above King Arthur's head. It began to speak, but only the Knight King himself could hear it, something akin to teleportation.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you speak. King Arthur glanced at the Holy Spirit crown above his head: "Didn't you say that you usually don't interfere in my affairs, so that I can exercise my analytical skills." Do you only help with the analysis in extremely special cases?"

"That's right. The Holy Spirit Crown replied, "But I'm afraid you won't have a clue about the things related to the round table system, so let me, the manager, analyze it." ＂

That's right, this is the Holy Spirit Crown, and as a special Holy Spirit, it is the administrator of the Round Table system. The Holy Spirit Crown has been worn on King Arthur's head since the beginning of time. As a spirit, it can be spiritualized at any time, and normal people cannot see the crown of the Holy Spirit after the spiritualization. Only under special circumstances will the crown on King Arthur's head be revealed------ just as the king will only reveal his identity when he really needs him.

The ability bonuses that the Holy Spirit Crown can bring to King Arthur are extremely large, mainly in terms of analytical ability. But King Arthur has never relied on the power of the Holy Spirit Crown over the years, because the king believes that not relying on external forces, but thinking and analyzing on his own is the demeanor that a king should have. The Holy Spirit Crown also accepted King Arthur's idea, and normally did not appear to interfere with King Arthur's actions, only appearing in extremely special circumstances to make suggestions to the Knight King.

Like now.

"The system doesn't work well with that spirit. It's overloaded. The Holy Spirit Crown said, "Do you want to break the system? ＂

"Wait a minute. But the knight king said, "Let's see what tricks he can conjure." ＂

"Arthur, who are you talking to?" Bediwell asked curiously, seeing the Knight King's fragmented thoughts.

"It's okay, it's just talking to myself here. Arthur waved his hand at the werewolf youth: "Don't worry, go on." ＂

"Uhhh------h He was in the very center of the "epicenter", and he felt that the heavens and the earth were shaking, as if the ground under his feet was about to crack at any moment, causing him to fall. It's strange that he's not afraid!

And next to the stele, it seems that something is starting to take shape.

"Huh?!" King Arthur looked intently. The white thing, which seemed to be a human figure and a beast shadow, should have been the nascent Holy Spirit. But its form can't be fixed properly, and it has always been in a vague form, as if it will dissipate at any time. This has never been seen before.

Even the words on the stele began to glow, and the whole system became unstable due to overriding, and the shaking around it became more intense.

"Arthur!" Bediwell could no longer stand still at this time, and exclaimed half-kneeling, "If it goes on like this!"

"Wait!" the Knight King insisted on seeing the final result, even if it was at the risk of the system being broken.

The tremors became more and more intense, and it was as intense as the heavens and the earth were cracking. Just when everyone thought that the ground of the Avalonian Pure Land was about to be untenable, the shadow of the white non-human and non-beast was gradually taking shape with difficulty.

However------

"Ahh

The shadow of non-human and non-beast has also taken shape, it is a tiger, a huge white tiger. Although the outline is extremely vague, it does have a recognizable outline. However, this paradoxical Spirit has no legs, and the lower half of its body is a thin puff of smoke, or light. There's no way it's completely formed.

"Sure enough------," said the Knight King, frowning.

"The system is already over two hundred percent loaded! Stop! The system is going to burn out!" exclaimed the Holy Spirit Crown.

"Ahh

"I'm sorry, Arthur. Bedeville couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed over to swoop and try to pounce on Albert, at least to get the tiger down from that dangerous altar!

Pound!!, the tremendous force bounced off the werewolf youth. This experiment of summoning the Holy Spirit is starting to spiral out of control, and it is not so easy to stop!

"Uh-huh!" the werewolf youth was bounced away by some inexplicable force, but as soon as he got up from the ground, he tried to stop Albert again. Of course, he knew that brute force alone could not break through that invisible force field. If you can't do it by brute force, what about other methods?

Without even thinking about it, he took out his tungsten tortoise-tongue whip from his waist, and as soon as he came up, he used the strongest attack to coil the whip around his arm to charge it. The full power of the tungsten turtle tongue whip is huge, and it is not impossible to break through a force field. He weighed the strength of the force field and the charged attack of the tungsten tongue whip before he struck, and this blow was delivered without any scruples!

Whoosh! The tungsten tortoise tongue whip, which was coiled in the shape of a spring, and then released in an instant, pierced out like a spear, and stabbed straight at Albert in the distance!

Of course, the mysterious force field composed of inexplicable power also used the greatest force to stop this blow, greatly weakening the ferocity of the tungsten turtle tongue whip that can kill!

However, the charged slam of the whip easily pierced through the invisible force field and went straight to Albert's back! As if it had been calculated, the power of the whip and the moment it was about to hit Albert diminished to almost nothing. But it made it to Albert!

And at that moment, Bediwell had already manipulated the whip to successfully wrap around the waist of the tiger man youth and pull it hard!

Albert was ripped off the stele!

The white penumbra, which almost wanted to become one with Albert's body, also dissipated without a trace the moment the young tigerman's hand left the stele! The shaking that had been like a meaningless joke, as if it had never happened.

"Oh...... Albert snorted and got up from the ground: "It hurts!

"Are you alright?" asked the werewolf youth with concern.

"I can't die yet!" Albert was in pain, and his temper became irritable.

"Hmm...... The Knight King didn't bother with the complaints of the tiger man, and hummed thoughtfully.

"So...... What happened to the test results?" Bediwell then turned to the Knight King.

"You just saw that. This is the first time this has happened. Arthur then replied: "Because the little tiger's physique is not compatible with the system, the system is overspeeding to the point of almost burning out." Still, a decent Holy Spirit could not be summoned. In the end, the [something] that was forcibly summoned seemed to have the idea of invading the little tiger's body and using it for his own use. All in all, it was very dangerous to continue to let him use Avalon's Holy Spirit summoning system. ＂

"That's it?" Albert frowned, "Does that mean...... I won't be able to summon my own Holy Spirit in the future?

"It's up to you to think about it. The Knight King looked solemnly at the tiger man young Albert: "But the words come first. Great Britain hired the Knights of the Round Table, and the ultimate goal was, of course, to obtain the [Holy Spirit] created by the Knights of the Round Table. Only the ultimate Holy Spirit is the most effective means of fighting against darkness.

If you haven't been able to summon the Holy Spirit...... If you don't have what it takes to create the Holy Spirit...... Sorry, no matter how good you do in this exam, you won't be able to become a Knight of the Round Table. ＂

"How can this be...... Bediwell, who was on the side, frowned and said, "It's so unfair!"

"But that's the reality. The Knight King said, "We are not choosing the best knights in the world, nor do we care how good the candidate's ability is. Those are the secondary conditions for becoming a Knight of the Round Table. The real [main condition] is the strength of the Holy Spirit that they have summoned. ＂

King Arthur's words were almost equivalent to persuading Albert to voluntarily give up the Round Table Trial.

So what is everything he has insisted on since the trial of the Round Table?

Is all the effort in vain?!

"However, it is too early to tell. The Knight King smiled bitterly, "I'll give you some time to think about and prepare." The real [summoning trial] is not at this stage, which means there is still time. Maybe in the future, you can change your constitution? You can continue to participate in the Round Table Trial until you feel comfortable with it. ＂

Albert fell into a deathly silence.
