Chapter 32: The Continuation of the Battle
The scene changed, and Zhou Xiaoning took Artoria from the top of the mountain to an open place halfway up the mountain in an instant.
Obviously, the previous magic bullet was just a stepping stone, and the real arena was here.
"I am the Knight King of Ancient Great Britain, Artoria Pendragon. Now, please answer my question, who are you! ”
Artoria looked at the armored heroic spirit on the opposite side vigilantly, Bazet she had seen it, although the [Backlight Sword] was strong, it was not as strong as the [Piercing Death Thorn Spear], she could even take the [Piercing Death Thorn Spear], so it should not be a problem to take the [Backlight Sword]. On the contrary, it was the strange heroic spirit, whose momentum was not inferior to his own, and he was a formidable enemy.
What's more, Artoria cares a lot about what Zhou Xiaoning said before, his "old acquaintance" in the air should be this heroic spirit, who is she?
Although Artoria had many questions in her heart, the other party's posture showed that the comer was not good, so she summoned the Sword of Oath Victory as soon as possible. However, because the Sword of Oath of Victory was wrapped in the [Wind King Enchantment] and the body of the sword was hidden, Artoria was only holding it with both hands, even if she knew that she might have an invisible weapon in her hand, she would be at a disadvantage before the battle even because she could not judge the type and length of the weapon.
However, this was of no use to Mordred, and if she knew Artoria better, she even surpassed Artoria herself.
In contrast, it is Artoria who is more disadvantageous now, and due to the effect of the treasure of [Hidden Unchaste Helmet], Mordred hides her true identity, making it impossible for Artoria to guess her identity.
One side knows oneself and knows the other, but the other party only knows oneself and knows nothing about the other party.
"Who am I? I'd like to know that too. ”
Mordred's words reveal a little grief, a little resentment, and a little confusion, after all, her birth is unethical and unacceptable to the world, especially Artoria does not agree with her, which makes her even more unable to find the meaning of life.
The reason why Mordred betrayed Artoria was that in addition to Morgan's instigation behind his back, there was no idea similar to a child's prank to attract the attention of adults. Doesn't Artoria really care about ancient Britain, well, she will destroy the country, so Artoria will have to face her.
As a result, Mordred succeeded in destroying Ancient Britain and inflicting heavy damage on Artoria, bringing her to the brink of death. All of her goals have almost been achieved, but she does not feel the joy of successful revenge, and her heart is more empty.
"What do you mean by that, as a hero who left his name in history, don't you even dare to report your name?"
Artoria frowned slightly, the Heroic Spirit in front of her gave her a very bad feeling, and there seemed to be a force guiding her in the dark, telling her to quickly draw her sword and kill this Heroic Spirit. Artoria didn't like it, and she wanted to figure out what the hell was going on.
"Eh, forget Leah, don't ask, I'll tell you directly, she's Mordred!"
Zhou Xiaoning sighed, the grievances and entanglements between Artoria and Mordred are really complicated, and they can't be explained clearly in one sentence or two. And now, with only forty minutes left until six o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xiaoning didn't want the two of them to waste too much time on arguing with each other.
"What, you're Mordred!"
Artoria was taken aback, and hurriedly looked the heroic spirit on the other side up and down carefully, and sure enough, she found a lot of similarities with Mordred, which was basically certain to be herself.
For a moment, Artoria's thoughts drifted a little, as if she had returned to the Sword Orchid Hill and was confronting Mordred.
Mordred didn't plan to hide her identity all the time, but now that she had been spotted by Zhou Xiaoning, she simply took off her helmet and revealed the face that was exactly the same as Artoria.
"It's been a long time, Father."
"Mordred, it's really you...... Are you here to take revenge on me? ”
Artoria's eyes were full of mixed looks, including sadness, nostalgia, and self-blame...... But among the many emotions, there is no resentment.
Yes, even if Mordred ruined Ancient Britain, even if she died at her hands in the end, Artoria still did not resent Mordred, but blamed all the fault on herself. Artoria didn't think she was a worthy king, and if she hadn't pulled out the sword in the stone, or had revealed her identity as a woman from the beginning, would everything have been different, and her country might not have been destroyed like that, so everything was her fault.
"Look like that again, King Arthur, how much do you look down on me, am I not even qualified to make you resentful!"
Mordred fell into a rampage on the spot, and she thought she could face Artoria more calmly, but as it turned out, she couldn't.
I don't know what to think, in the face of Mordred's strong attack, Artoria just kept taking passive defensive measures, and even had several excellent counterattacks in front of her in time, she didn't have the slightest intention of grasping it, and let it be missed in vain.
But the more Artoria was like this, the more violent Mordred grew in her heart, and she had the impression that King Arthur, whom she longed for and looked up to, was not like this!
"Damn, you fight back for me, fight back!"
In a state of agitation, Mordred's offensive became more and more violent, and gradually, Artoria began to wear colors.
It's not that Artoria doesn't understand the truth that you will lose for a long time, but she seems to have made up her mind, but she just won't fight back.
Zhou Xiaoning watched anxiously from the sidelines, if this continues, Artoria will definitely die in the hands of Mordred, and he can't watch it like this anymore.
However, just as Zhou Xiaoning was about to come to Artoria's aid, Bazette suddenly attacked, and the blade-like knife was cut off, which had the intention of cutting Zhou Xiaoning in half.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhou Xiaoning blocked with his left hand, and easily took Bazete's hand knife, with his physical strength, even if he was hit by a nuclear bomb, he would be safe, let alone a mere hand knife.
"It's a battle between the two of them, please don't bother."
Bazete stood in front of Zhou Xiaoning, holding a lead-colored ball in his hand, which was the initial form of the [Backlight Sword].
"You're no match for me, it's too late to get out of the way."
Zhou Xiaoning's face was gloomy, Artoria's situation was getting worse and worse, and he didn't want to waste time on Bazet.
"If you want to pass, you must pass me first."
Bazet didn't give an inch, and even activated the pre-arranged Fuwen enchantment, locking Artoria and Mordred inside, and Xiao Ning couldn't get around her next week.
