Blue light fell from the sky, revealing the face of the most beautiful fairy in Britain.
"The fairy Lancelot, the strongest fairy knight, has indeed appeared!"
Muramasa tightened his grip on the knife in his hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Beside him, there were also Sage Grim and Parcival, the Limiter of the Human Realm, waiting in full formation.
As the second echelon to attack the city, they unexpectedly ran into the demon orchid falling from the sky.
"Seeing that you have been looking for me, I showed up generously."
Yao Lan raised her smile, showing a straightforward look of pride.
"However, I am actually not interested in you. After all, both Grim and Muramasa look very weak. They must not be able to withstand my chops, right?"
"It's really embarrassing for me to be underestimated to this extent."
Muramasa chuckled nonchalantly.
"Then what is your purpose here, Lancelot the Fairy?"
Grimm, on the other hand, didn't care at all about Yao Lan's evaluation, but instead asked her with a clear purpose.
Having said that, judging from his pointing eyes, I have probably guessed the reason.
"I have something to ask you, Percival."
Yao Lan looked at Percival, with a little sadness in her eyes.
"But looking at your appearance, it seems I don't need to ask any more questions."
Percival said nothing, just stared at Yaolan silently.
His head of gray-white broken hair had lost its original color and luster at some point, and turned more than half of it black.
The taste of vicissitudes of life is stronger than ever before.
"Is it really when you were in Oxford, when you were fighting Woodworth?"
"That's right, I respect you like an eldest sister."
Percival let out a long sigh.
"Woodworth...my father is indeed strong enough. Even if he exhausted all his magic power, I didn't succeed in killing him until I released this chosen gun."
How stupid.
Yao Lan wanted to say this, but she knew in her heart that this was the inevitable outcome.
As a guardian, she definitely disapproved of Percival's use of the Spear of Choice.
But from another perspective, this is also the growth of Percival, who is equivalent to his younger brother. He wielded the gun with his own will, and he is no longer the ignorant one who needed her strict instruction in the past.
's younger brother.
"But, in this way, you have already wielded the holy spear twice..."
"That's right."
Percival nodded again.
Immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly became brave.
"Moreover, it seems that the time to use the third holy spear is just around the corner! I will defeat the queen no matter what, so, just like you, my eldest sister, who has taught me many martial arts, I will wield this final holy spear at you.
gun!"
The last holy spear.
Neither Grimm nor Muramasa spoke.
They anticipated this situation from the beginning.
Because of an incident 2,400 years ago, the chosen spear that consumed magic power became a life force drain, and each time the holy spear was liberated, it would consume ten years of the holder's lifespan!
Percival is only 16 years old this year, but because he wielded the Holy Spear twice, his body is now 36 years old!
But don’t forget, humans in this Lost Belt generally only live to be 30 years old!
Percival's ability to break this limit can only be said to be the limiter of the human realm. Woodworth's vision in picking him out from the human pasture was indeed accurate.
Just like there are long-lived old men who can live over 100 years old among humans in the history of pan-humanity, Percival himself is special.
But he will never pass the 40-year-old life span!
That is to say.
The next time he uses the holy spear, it will definitely be his end!
"Is that your ideal? Is it really necessary to risk your life for it?"
Yaolan couldn't understand, and she couldn't help but ask Percival.
"No, that's not my ideal."
When Percival heard this, he showed a self-deprecating smile.
"I have always maintained the Round Table Army for my own purposes. It has never been my purpose to defeat the Queen..."
"If that's the case, then why?"
"Because I betrayed everyone's expectations."
Percival said calmly: "I obviously didn't do it for the great goal of coexistence of humans and fairies. I just used everyone in the Round Table Army for so long, used the name of the Son of Prophecy, and used everyone for my own selfish reasons.
Trust and look forward to it!”
"Everyone must have noticed it a long time ago, but everyone never said it, acting as if it didn't happen. I can't forgive myself for being indifferent despite knowing everyone's tolerance. So, this time, and the only time, I must
We must truly respond to everyone’s expectations!”
He did not gather the Round Table Army for the lofty goal of coexistence.
From the beginning, he decided to do these things because of his own selfishness.
And his selfishness.
It is Lancelot, the fairy knight who liberated his eldest sister.
Six years ago, the scene of Yao Lan crying in the heavy rain outside the cathedral was seen by Percival, who had just obtained the chosen gun and couldn't wait to share it with her.
When he was young, Percival thought that it was the Queen's restraint that caused his beloved to cry, so he was full of thoughts of liberating his beloved from the Queen's hands.
To him, participating in the Mockingbird Royal Competition and winning the championship was just a way to get close to the Queen.
But he didn't achieve his goal at that time. The queen's power was beyond his imagination.
So he rejected the queen's solicitation and left Camelot.
Until by chance, he met Oberon and was persuaded by him to form the Round Table Army in the name of the Son of Prophecy.
Because the interests were aligned, he agreed to his suggestion.
Although he has always been in the name of coexistence to the outside world, and even said so to Artoria herself, he has actually been feeling guilty for deceiving everyone and living up to everyone's expectations.
After knowing that the fairy in Paradise had fairy eyes, he felt even more ashamed.
Especially after knowing that Yao Lan's restraint did not come from the queen, but from someone other than the queen, he felt even more embarrassed.
This guilt made it impossible for him to continue as if nothing had happened, and he had to find a way to atone for his sins no matter what!
And the best way to atone is in this decisive battle.
"I'm going to beat you here!"
Parcival raised the Holy Spear.
His expression was so resolute that there was no room for negotiation.
It’s already the decisive battle anyway, so give everything you have now!
"Whoa!"
I saw a blue light flying out of thin air.
Without saying a word, Yao Lan left the royal city and headed for the distant horizon, never to return.
"Wow, is there such a way to win?"
When Muramasa saw this, he was immediately filled with admiration.
"This proves that this kid has a sister who loves him."
Grimm put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Percival was stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment.
