In the burning city, Artoria had barely landed on the ground when she felt a powerful magical reaction rapidly approaching her.

"Huh!?"

Artoria raised her sword in a gesture to meet the enemy, she already knew who it was.

The familiar sense of rage, and the red thunder that was gradually becoming apparent in the distance, combined with the blood-red rune on Karna's face just now.

The Knight King knew what he was going to do next.

"Gather the breath of the stars in the sky, the flow of brilliant life, and take it! 【Sword of Oath Victory (Excalibur)!! ”

The golden torrent rushed in the direction of the red thunder, and there was also a reaction of the Noble Phantasm.

"I am not a king, but a man who is behind him. For the king's safety, expel all enemies - [Rebellion against Duanli's My Father (Clarent Blood Arthur]!! ”

A red thunderstorm collided with a torrent of gold, and the massive magic destroyed the entire neighborhood in an instant.

The buildings did not have time to collapse before they turned into a cloud of ashes, and the streets above ground were also crumbled, revealing the ground below.

With a loud bang, the buildings that were still dense in the vicinity disappeared, replaced by a large pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the houses around the pit had also disappeared.

Without those buildings in the way, Artoria also clearly saw the enemy in front of her, her former knight, Mordred.

Mordred, who was standing in front of her at this moment, was holding a sword in both hands like her, in a posture of releasing a treasure, the helmet that had been wearing on her head was also lifted, and her face unsurprisingly had the same blood-red runes as Karna.

"Ya...... ...... Wang ......"

Mordred staggered to her feet, muttering Artoria's name.

She looked up, and the moment she saw Artoria, her empty eyes gradually became bright, and then filled with madness under the influence of blood-red runes.

"Ya...... Thur!! ”

A frantic battle cry came out of Mordred's mouth, and she swung her sword and turned into a red thunderbolt towards Artoria.

Artoria faced Mordred and stood ready for it.

After taking a deep breath, a huge amount of magic power gathered in her limbs, and after being directly connected to the Great Grail, Artoria not only strengthened all her attributes, including luck, to Class A, but also possessed almost infinite magical power.

Artoria at this time was arguably in the best form ever.

She raised her sword to lower her center of gravity to build up her strength, and despite her agility being a level higher than Mordred's, she chose to fight back.

Mordred's thunderstorm soon arrived, and in the face of her swinging sword, Artoria slashed the blow with a rising dragon.

At the same time, she pressed her legs down, her center of gravity more firmly, and then slammed her sword back against Mordred.

After knocking her opponent back, Artoria strode in on Mordred in quick succession, slashing at her left side with a swing of her sword.

Mordred kicked back with her right foot to steady herself and swung her sword to block Artoria's attack.

Unable to strike a single blow, Artoria decisively drew her sword and did not stalemate with her.

However, Mordred took the opportunity to approach Artoria, and the sword in her hand burst into a violent thunderbolt and struck her.

Artoria calmly responded, and the golden magic particles on the holy sword in her hand began to surge, and the white-gold flames belonging to the starlight began to bloom on the sword.

A sword swung out, and red and white-gold light erupted between the two of them.

In the stalemate, Artoria decisively released a magic power to strengthen herself and force Mordred back.

But Mordred also reacted quickly, and also used magic to release and strengthen himself.

Feeling the release of the other party's magic power, which was not weaker than her own, Artoria couldn't help but start to have a headache.

Mordred is not a natural child, she is Artoria's royal sister Morgan Le Fay obtained Artoria's genetic factors through magic and created an artificial human, so she has the same red dragon blood as Artoria, and also has the same face as Artoria.

For this reason, she also called Artoria her father, believing that she had the right to inherit her throne.

But all this is nothing more than a conspiracy by Morgan Le Fay, and Mordred is just a pawn of Morgan Le Fay's own plan.

She originally wanted to follow Artoria after her, but after Mordred learned of her background, she gradually hoped to get love from Artoria and inherit her throne.

But Artoria, of course, could not pass on the throne to such a "son" who did not know where to run out, so she refused

Mordred thus led a group of knights who followed her to rebel against Artoria, ending the story of King Arthur.

Now, once again, the rebellious knight was on the opposite side of Artoria, and he was barely aware of his reasoning.

"Ya...... Thur!! ”

Mordred roared again, and her magic was constantly unleashed by her as if she didn't want money, and the thunder around her danced like hell.

Artoria raised the sword in her hand, and the light of the starlight shone brightly on the sword.

The dreamy colors reflected in Mordred's eyes, causing her expression to be in a trance for a while, but soon became crazy again.

"Ya!! Thur!! ”

Mordred raised the sword in her hand, and the thunderstorm formed by the continuous magic power became more violent with her movements.

"Ah!!h

She brandished her sword and charged at Artoria, who calmly harnessed the starlight in her hand to deal with her thunderstorm.

The Holy Sword and the Demon Sword, under the wielding of their respective masters, drew one deadly arc after another.

In the empty pit, there are no troublemakers, and Artoria and Mordred can use their martial arts to their heart's content.

Artoria's swordsmanship is calm, and she switches between attack and defense with ease; Mordred's swordsmanship, how similar to the beast, can hardly be seen, it is completely a crazy attack, attacking and attacking, and there is no meaning of defense at all.

Thunderstorm and Starlight are constantly bombarding each other in the pit, and both of them have the inherent ability to release magic power, and both have taken almost unlimited magic power from their contract partners.

And there are no innocent people around, so Artoria can use her magic power as unscrupulously and without money as Mordred, and constantly use her magic power to release it.

"Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!!! ”

Mordred was battling Artoria at high intensity, while constantly shouting her title.

"Arthur !!"

Another violent thunderstorm swung out, and Artoria once again blocked it with the light of the stars.

"Mordred!"

Artoria shouted the name of the knight in front of her.

"Do you have anything to say to me when you call me by my name?"

Hearing this, Mordred, who was originally crazy, suddenly stopped his offensive.

Seeing her like this, Artoria knew she had guessed correctly.

From the beginning of the battle, Mordred has been calling out to herself, if there is not any deep hatred, then there must be something to say to herself.

And Artoria's instincts told her that Mordred must have something to say to her.

Judging by the results so far, I guessed correctly.

"Mordred."

In order not to irritate the other party, Artoria also lifted the battle stance.

"What do you want to tell me when you call my name so much?"

"Uh...... Belch...... Second...... ......"

Mordred tried hard to say anything to Artoria, but she couldn't say anything due to the influence of the blood runes.

"Ah!!!!h

Mordred suddenly went berserk again, and the thunderstorm swept through her body again.

Seeing this, Artoria quickly retreated, looking at Mordred vigilantly, not knowing where she had stimulated her.

"Ah!!h

"Ya!! Thur!! ”

Mordred raised the sword in her hand, powerful magic fluctuations surging through her.

That fluctuation is obviously a precursor to the release of the treasure!

Artoria quickly raised the sword in her hand, golden particles appeared in the air, white-gold flames ignited on the sword, and the light of the starlight fought against the red thunderstorm.

After reaching the peak of their mana accumulation, Artoria and Mordred unleashed the Noble Phantasm at the same time.

"I am not a king, but a man who is behind him. For the king's safety, expel all enemies - [Rebellion against Duanli's My Father (Clarent Blood Arthur]!! ”

"Gather the breath of the stars in the sky, the flow of brilliant life, and take it! 【Sword of Oath Victory (Excalibur)!! ”

The torrent of golden starlight once again collided with the torrent of crimson thunderstorms.

But the difference this time is that the thunderstorm that could compete with the starlight is constantly decaying at this time, as if Mordred's magic power has been exhausted.

"What's going on?"

Artoria didn't know what was going on with Mordred, but the decay of the red thunder was an irrefutable fact.

In this way, Artoria watched as the red torrent gradually pressed back.

In the end, the brilliance of the holy sword swallowed Mordred's figure.

After the golden torrent, she saw Mordred standing in place scarred, the armor on her body had all shattered, and she barely collapsed by supporting her body with her sword.

"Uh......"

Mordred raised her head as hard as she could, looking at the person she had always admired, and she reached out to her as if to grasp the figure.

"Father...... King. ”

In the end, Mordred still collapsed weakly.

"Mordred ......"

Artoria looked at the fallen Mordred, put away her holy sword, and ran towards her.

Her instincts told her that Mordred must have something to say to herself now, and that she would regret it if she didn't get there in time.

Almost as fast as she could in her life, Artoria came to Mordred's side, crouched down and held her in her arms.

"Mordred."

Artoria looked at Mordred, scarred in her arms, and she had a gut feeling that what Mordred was going to say next was important to her.

"Father...... King. ”

Mordred struggled to open her eyes, and at a glance she saw Artoria's face so close.

As if it was about to dissipate, the influence of the Blood Rune on Mordred was greatly reduced.

"I'm ...... now Is it ...... Father in ...... In the arms...... Is it? ”

"Hmm."

Looking at her eyes, Artoria suddenly had a feeling that she didn't dare to look at her directly.

"Ahh It's true...... Be...... Is that so? ”

"I ...... can actually be ...... by his father's king Hold on to ...... In my arms! ”

"Am I ...... Yes...... Grail...... Have you made a wish? ”

After getting Artoria's affirmation, Mordred's mood became very excited, and she didn't even feel much pain from the injuries on her body.

But Mordred's reaction pierced Artoria's heart, and she suddenly felt that she didn't know Mordred at all.

Mordred at the moment is not a rebellious knight at all, she is just a child who longs for the love of her parents.

"Mordred, you didn't make a wish to the Holy Grail. However, this is not an illusion, you are now indeed being held in my arms. ”

Artoria removed the word "Qing", which meant that she was not talking to Mordred as "King Arthur", but ......

"Huh...... Since...... Didn't make a wish? ”

Mordred was surprised.

"If not...... Wish...... So this can only ...... Appears in ...... The ...... of my dreams Warm...... Exactly...... Where did it come from? ”

"Could it be...... I'm ...... Dreaming? ”

"It's not a dream, Mordred."

"Huh? No...... Dreams. That is to say...... Father, you ...... Do you really approve of me? ”

"I really...... ...... by you Approval...... Can do your ...... Child...... Finish...... Is it? ”

"Well, yes, Mordred."

"Ah!!h

Mordred's joy was directly expressed on her face, her joy came from the heart and was undisguised, like a child who had finally been praised by his parents after working hard for a long time.

"Father...... Father...... My father approved of me...... Finish...... Father...... Approval...... I did. ”

Looking at the joyful Mordred, Artoria suddenly felt that she had ignored her for too long, she was obviously just a child who was thirsting for love, and if she had noticed it earlier, then the tragedy would not have happened later.

"Since...... Father's approval...... I...... Now, then...... I'm also eligible...... Stay with ...... You're on your side. ”

"You're finally no longer ...... A ...... alone Lonely walking. ”

"It's always been ...... You are all ...... That's the ...... Perfect, perfect ...... Seems...... Not like a ...... Humans, let's ...... Can't...... of followers. ”

"I ...... The reason for ...... Want...... Become a ...... King...... It's hope...... Can I take it...... Your ...... Responsibility ...... allows you to ...... Put it down...... Throne...... The ...... of heavy responsibilities can make you live ...... More like a ...... Mankind. ”

"I've always been ...... Aspiration...... It's hope...... Can you ...... Don't do that again...... Lonely ......"

The golden spirit child floated out of Artoria's bosom, and there was nothing left.

The blonde knight king remained in that position silently, and after a long time, the roar of battle in the distance made her get back to her feet and move forward into the distance.

Only two drops of sparkling remained in place.
