Chapter 792: Night City: I'm Just an Ordinary Mage
Chapter 792: Night City: I'm Just an Ordinary Mage
"Unspoiled Lake Reflection" is an A++-ranked Noble Phantasm, a sword entrusted to humanity by the lake spirit, sharing the same origin as the "Sword of Promised Victory." Its "Durability" is even comparable to that of the Sword of Promised Victory.
Because Lancelot used this sword to slay the Knights of the Round Table, he lost his qualification as a holy sword and was classified as a demonic sword.
However, despite its fall to a demonic sword, the "Unspoiled Lake Reflection" itself is an A++-ranked anti-personnel Noble Phantasm, and its rank is undoubtedly among the highest even among numerous Noble Phantasms.
As the black-tinged "Not for My Glory" gradually dissipated, Lancelot's flowing purple hair and handsome face were revealed to the crowd in Night City for the first time.
To use the "Unspoiled Lake Reflection," one must seal all other Noble Phantasms, and when Lancelot draws this sword, all his parameter values increase by one rank.
If possible, Lancelot would rather not use the "Unspoiled Lake Reflection." Seeing this sword, once renowned alongside the "Sword of Promised Victory," now in its demonic form, always reminds him of his unspeakable past.
He had betrayed the lord he once swore allegiance to, and he had killed his former companions and comrades. Someone like him was not worthy of wielding the "Unspoiled Lake Reflection," a gift from the lake spirit.
But if he didn't use this sword now, he wouldn't be confident enough to defeat Night City.
Although Lancelot had previously criticized Night City's conduct, he was well aware of his own sins as a knight, which were far more heinous than Night City's.
At most, Night City had coerced a little girl, but Lancelot had betrayed his lord, eloped with his lord's wife, and killed his comrades—his sins were truly unforgivable.
But now, in response to the Holy Grail, he was here to atone for his past. Although he didn't know if he would ever meet his former king again and ask for her forgiveness.
However, as a knight, he would never allow his Master, especially a little girl, to be coerced or used as a tool by others.
"That's enough. I've had a good measure of your strength.
If you were to use your ultimate Noble Phantasm, the commotion from our fight would likely be impossible to conceal, even with a barrier.
I don't know what you've misunderstood, but I can assure you that I'm not the person you believe me to be. At the very least, I'm not a lolicon."
Hearing Night City's words, Lancelot's handsome face showed a conflicted expression until Little Sakura ran up to them and spoke up, "Berserker, he's my teacher, and things aren't as you imagine..."
After a brief explanation, Lancelot, with a sheepish expression, bowed apologetically before Night City, "I'm truly sorry for being so rash and stubborn, causing you such great trouble.
If you require me to atone, I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Lancelot embodied all the qualities of a knight—gentle, generous, devout, and polite. He was nearly the epitome of a perfect knight.
Upon learning that Night City had helped Little Sakura escape her suffering and that she was his new disciple, Lancelot promptly apologized without hesitation.
"There's no need for apologies. After all, I only met Little Sakura for the first time tonight, and it's normal for her to be afraid of me, even to the point of fear, due to her past experiences."
As a Servant, you were able to carefully observe the circumstances and emotions of your Master, which speaks volumes about your exceptional abilities.
And compared to words, a direct fight is often the quickest way to understand each other.
After saying all this, I realized I hadn't introduced myself yet. "My name is Yecheng Ye, just an ordinary mage from Fuyuki City."
Hearing Ye's words, Xiao Ying silently repeated her teacher's name several times, then smiled.
Kiryu Ganzai and Lancelot, on the other hand, couldn't help but look speechless upon hearing Ye's self-introduction.
If they had met Ye before tonight and heard such an introduction, they probably wouldn't have reacted much.
But after witnessing Ye's performance tonight, it was hard for them to associate his self-introduction as an ordinary mage with what they had just seen.
If all ordinary mages were as skilled as Ye, the world would have likely been destroyed long ago.
Moreover, if all the mages participating in the Holy Grail War were this powerful, what would be the point of Heroic Spirits like them?
That night, not only did the Kiryu family summon a Heroic Spirit, but other Masters in Fuyuki City also summoned their own Heroic Spirit Servants.
Faruzuki Tokito, holding a glass of red wine, looked at the figure emerging from the Summoning Array and the Command Seals that revealed the Servant's true name and information. His smile was as difficult to suppress as an AK-47.
Saber, Archer, and Lancer, known as the Three Knights among the seven classes, were the three most balanced classes in terms of abilities.
And in this summoning, Tokito didn't just summon an Archer; he summoned the King of Heroes, the strongest Heroic Spirit, whose Noble Phantasm was an unprecedented Ex-rank.
His disciple, Kirei, was also a Master in this Holy Grail War, ostensibly a member of the Church but secretly agreeing to aid Tokito in this war.
With the strongest Heroic Spirit and his disciple's assistance, Tokito was holding all the cards in this Holy Grail War. He couldn't imagine how he could possibly lose.
In the past, the Einzbern and Kiryu families, as part of the Three Founding Families, were formidable opponents. But now, the Einzberns had resorted to seeking external help for the Holy Grail War.
As for the Kiryu family, they had completely fallen from grace, and this generation didn't even have a decent heir.
Once his adopted daughter, Sakura, grew up and inherited the Kiryu family, what would be the difference between the Kiryu and Faruzuki families?
"Archer, I've contacted my disciple, Kirei, and his Servant. We need to hold a strategy meeting to discuss how to deal with the other Masters and Servants."
Despite his overwhelming advantage, Tokito's arrogance led him to believe he could simply coast to victory. So, he prepared to showcase his strategic prowess, making his win even more assured.
"You dare command me, mortal? Dealing with these insignificant pests doesn't require a strategy meeting.
Moreover, planning to counter enemies is the duty of servants like you. My role is merely to make the final decision."
With these words, Shining Gilgamesh left without a second glance at the bewildered Tokito, disappearing in a flash of his Heroic Spirit form...
