Chapter 289: Demon Concubine Morgan

Overwhelming icicles struck Lu Xiao's location from all directions.

Such a large-scale magic trick was completed in just one breath, and Lu Xiao's heart once again raised the threat evaluation of her.

This kind of 360-degree attack is difficult to completely block by physical means.

Lu Xiao let go of his right hand holding the handle of the Immortal Slasher, and used the ability of soul materialization to temporarily split his own spirit, while manipulating his left hand and right hand to write completely different rune groups in the air.

Before the ice pick hits the target, the rune of Luen carved by Lu Xiao takes effect first.

The runes drawn by his left hand melted into the air, and the already hot temperature of the desert became even more scorching, and the soldiers watching in the shadows of the buildings outside the battle circle were soon sweating profusely.

The sharp rise in temperature affected the ice hammers created by the witch, and many of the ice picks began to melt before they could hit their targets.

The witch noticed something strange when the temperature began to rise nearby, and the emerald on her left arm bracelet flashed with light, and a translucent magic barrier protected her.

The rune of Lu Xiao's right hand was not used for direct attacks, but automatically integrated into his body after the rune was formed, and the continuous flickering magic light strengthened Lu Xiao's strength, agility and physique at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

After gaining an explosive buff enhancement in a short period of time, Lu Xiao disappeared from the witch's sight with a kick.

At the same time, a sharp sword aura slashed out from where he was originally standing, and was blocked by the magic barrier that the witch had arranged in advance.

Lu Xiao's agility attribute was already very high, and after receiving the enhancement of Lu En's magic, his performance was even more outrageous.

If Lu Xiao's full-speed movement under normalization can still make people see some traces, after being strengthened, even the shadow can't be seen.

The only thing that could be heard in the fortress that was blocked by the witch using the enchantment was the sound of the wind whistling by, and the sword qi that could not see the source at all shot out from the empty space from time to time.

Under the successive shadowless blows, cracks began to appear in the strong barrier built by the witch, and her face covered under the veil became solemn.

As the saying goes, the east strikes the west.

Lu Xiao used a series of actions to provoke the witch's sense of crisis, making her focus most of her attention on protecting herself.

In fact, when Lu Xiao casually used the immortal slash to send out the sword qi, he had been infusing the sword of Damocles with magic power.

This is the enemy's fortress, and judging from the witch's targeted actions, Jing Jing and Omoto Tai were both used as bait by him, with the aim of killing all the enemies who came to the rescue.

Lu Xiao didn't dare to bet on whether the witch who had been prepared for a long time would have reinforcements, and it was never wise to fight in the enemy's stronghold.

When the witch had no choice but to cast a spell to strengthen the magic barrier that protected her, Lu Xiao, who saw the opportunity, pulled out the sword of Damocles with his left hand and swung a brilliant sword aura towards the edge of the barrier that bound the fortress.

"Bang!"

The actual cracking sound woke the distracted witch, but by the time she was about to switch the spell to an attack form, the wind that had been howling inside the fortress had quietly dissipated.

"Tsk~"

The witch smacked her lips in displeasure: "This actually let him run away, it's really a difficult guy." ”

The witch who was in a bad mood looked indifferently at the ordinary soldiers hiding in various parts of the fortress to watch the battle, and without saying a word, she lifted the spatial blockade of the fortress, waved her hand and tore open a spatial passage and disappeared from the sky above the fortress.

……

Assassins do not fight to the death without preparation, and gather information on the enemy's weaknesses in advance, and try to kill them with one hit when attacking.

The identity of this witch who suddenly appeared is unknown for the time being, but judging from the strength and mind she showed in her few shots, she should be a powerful magician who has left a famous name in history.

Female, the Grand Magician, associated with Arthurian legend.

Excluding Merlin, who can be identified as male in this world line, there is only one option left in Lu Xiao's mind.

"Morgan? I didn't expect the Lion King to summon her. ”

Morgan's full name is Morgan Le Fay, and she is the most famous witch in Arthurian legend, King Arthur's sister, and according to legend, this witch is dissolute and ambitious.

Many important members of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are Morgan's children, including Gawain, who had fought with Lu Xiao before, Agguiwen, who was the chief assistant to the Lion King, and Mordred, the legendary rebellious knight who ended King Arthur's life.

In addition, the Knights of the Round Table, Gareth and Gahaerys, who died before the arrival of Lu Xiao and Chaldea, are also direct descendants of Morgan.

In the legend of King Arthur, the demon concubine Morgan spent her whole life plotting against her biological brother King Arthur, and at the end of the legend, she succeeded.

Mordred pierced King Arthur's body with a magic sword, and was killed by the king with a holy spear, and then there was a final allusion to King Arthur's order to return the sword to Bedwell.

If it was a normal timeline, Lu Xiao could be sure that Artoria would never summon his royal sister Morgan.

However, what appeared at the sixth peculiarity was not the Knight King in the true sense, but the Lion King, the incarnation of Rengominiade, who had been using the Holy Lance for a long time and was gradually assimilated by the divinity in the Holy Lance.

The deity Lion King, who lacks humanity and is absolutely rational, does not take into account any emotional factors, she will only make the most favorable choice for the plan in accordance with the current situation.

"I'm in trouble."

After evacuating the fortress, Lu Xiao immediately reconstructed the portal, and when he stepped through the gate, his expression was very solemn.

Regardless of whether the description of Morgan in the legend of King Arthur is true or not, with the addition and sublimation of these legends, Morgan is definitely not easy to deal with, which can be seen from the short confrontation with Lu Xiao before.

"Let's go back and discuss with Romani and them first, hoping to find out Morgan's weaknesses with the help of Chaldean information."

……

Outside the gate of the Holy Capital, the bustling crowd during the Holy Bath has long since disappeared, and in front of the desolate gate, there is only a sun-soaked heavily armored knight with his sword and his eyes closed.

The heavily armored knight with flaxen-colored messy hair suddenly opened his eyes and bowed lukewarmly to the masked woman who had just teleported to the door.

"Mother."

"Well, thank you, Gawain."

Morgan's attitude towards Gawain was also relatively cold.

Gawain was more willing to obey King Arthur's orders than Morgan's instructions.

For example, the sixth peculiarity this time, even if he knew in his heart that the Lion King's order violated the spirit of chivalry, Gao Wen, who had always obeyed the king's words, still chose to obey without saying a word.

Gawain's situation is not unique, and it can basically be regarded as the norm for Morgan's children.

Morgan created Gawain and Aggay and others, and as the royal sister of Artoria, he kicked them into the Knights of the Round Table through the back door to cause trouble.

But when all her children entered the Order, they were attracted by Artoria's charisma and noble ideals, and willingly obeyed the king's orders.

Annoyed, Morgan confesses her true identity to Mordred, the "son" she eventually created.

Mordred is an artificial human cultivated by Morgan after extracting Altoria's genetic information, using magic to sexually transform it, and combining it with his own genetic information, which can be said to be the descendant of the purest Pendragon family.

After learning the truth, Mordred, who was eager to gain the approval of his "father", went to the door to confess his relatives without saying a word, but was vetoed by Artoria, who was disgusted with Morgan's insidious behavior.

Unrecognized, Mordred developed a love and hatred for King Arthur, which led to the Battle of Kamran, ending the legend of King Arthur.

The two who passed by by by staggered did not seem to have the warmth between mother and son at all, and judging from Morgan's demeanor and empty-handed return, Gawain judged that she should have failed in the mission.

Gawain secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he still wanted to personally save face from the mysterious heroic spirit, and did not want him to die at the hands of his mother, the demon concubine Morgan.

However, even his mother, who had set the trap beforehand, failed to trap him, and that mysterious Assassin was really not an idle person, what era was he a heroic spirit? ’
