Chapter 823: A Head-On Clash Against the Military Noble Phantasm!
"Sir Lancelot, it's truly you..."
Upon seeing the face beneath the 'For the Greater Glory', Saber finally confirmed that the Berserker was indeed Lancelot.
At the same time, she hadn't expected such a coincidence in this Holy Grail War, with countless Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes, yet both she and Lancelot were summoned this time.
Likely, she had been summoned first; otherwise, with Lancelot's abilities, Saber wasn't confident in obtaining the Saber class from him.
"Arthur, ever since I learned that you are also a participating Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War, I've thought about dying by your sword and atoning for my past sins.
But I never imagined that the situation would turn out like this... In any case, before our destined battle, I won't let you die at the hands of others!"
No mistake, according to Lancelot's previous script, he intended to eliminate all other Heroic Spirits except Saber, then face Saber in a final battle and die by her hand.
Of course, Saber's Master, that despicable fellow named Shirou Emiya, was also on his hit list. After that, he would make Sakura his Master, fulfilling his loyalty and obsession.
Lancelot could tell that Mr. Yecheng lacked enthusiasm for the Holy Grail, so if he explained himself well, the other party should be willing to grant his wish.
The key issue lay with Medea, the witch, who was in the same camp, but their compatibility was incredibly poor.
Hearing Lancelot's words, Artoria's face also showed a look of sorrow. She was well aware of the sins Lancelot spoke of.
But regarding the Queen's matter, she had never blamed Lancelot. In fact, she had always been grateful that Lancelot saved Guinevere in that way.
"Sir Lancelot, about Guinevere..."
"My King, no matter what, I've done something a knight should never do. The fact remains, and no matter how many excuses or reasons I use, I can't gloss over the sins I've committed.
Appearing in this Holy Grail War and dying by your sword is my fate and destiny. Please, you need not say more."
The renowned Knight King, Artoria, was a girl who maintained the appearance of a fifteen-year-old. One could only imagine the burden Guinevere, the Queen, carried.
Unless one was a hardcore fan of Artoria, there was no way for her and Guinevere to have a future together, so Artoria always felt guilty towards Guinevere.
Lancelot, as the chief knight of the Round Table, was originally there to share the King's burden.
But upon learning of Artoria and Guinevere's platonic love, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Queen Guinevere.
The outcome was something everyone understood.
In Artoria's eyes, Lancelot hadn't done wrong; his actions had even led to the liberation and salvation of all three of them.
But in Lancelot's view, as a knight, he had done something he could never tolerate.
"Boom——————!"
This was the sound of Anubis' massive body being struck and knocked to the ground.
Since his identity had been exposed, Lancelot didn't bother hiding anymore. After releasing 'For the Greater Glory,' he unleashed his most powerful Noble Phantasm, 'Unspoiled Lake Reflection.'
The A+ ranked anti-personnel Noble Phantasm further enhanced Lancelot's ability parameters by an entire rank, coupled with his boundless martial prowess.
Even when facing the Phantasm that Medea had enhanced, Lancelot was still able to dominate the fight!
"Damn that Berserker, always ruining my plans!"
"Sakura, use your Command Spell to order Berserker not to interfere here!"
As a Berserker, Lancelot had the weakest resistance to Command Spells, so when Medea saw him as an obstacle, she immediately thought of Sakura.
However, at this moment, Sakura seemed to have anticipated this, and had already retreated far away, not giving Medea a chance.
Lancelot had cared for them like a nanny for so long; it would be a lie to say there was no affection.
Berserker's only wish was to atone for his sins; he didn't want to compete with Teacher for the Holy Grail or become his enemy. Little Lan was still quite sympathetic towards the pitiful Sakura.
Seeing that Sakura was nowhere to be found, Medea couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"Damn it, everyone is so unreliable!"
Facing the valiant and skilled Knight King and Lancelot, Medea could only feel helpless. She had to rely on her magic, along with the help of the Sphinx and Anubis, to hold off the two of them.
And the look in her eyes towards Lancelot was filled with malice. Once her Master finished the battle on the other side, she wanted to see how the traitorous Lancelot would die!
In another part of the battlefield, the commotion was even more intense than Medea's side.
Yecheng was fighting alone against three powerful Heroic Spirits: the Conqueror, the Hero King, and Diarmuid. Yet, he was still holding his ground.
The Conqueror, Alexander the Great, would normally disdain taking advantage of someone's weakness, but he joined the fight only after Gilgamesh was knocked down by Yecheng.
However, no one expected that during the battle, the seemingly defeated Gilgamesh would retrieve some secret potion from his 'Royal Treasury' and drink it, recovering his strength. Without a word, he rejoined the fight.
Diarmuid entered the battle under Kenneth's command, after all, Yecheng's head was worth three Command Spells.
"Distant Tyrant's Domination———!"
The Flying Thunder Ox, with its loud snorts, pulled the Divine Thunder Wheel as it charged towards Yecheng. And on the chariot, the Conqueror held his Noble Phantasm, the Cupuret Sword, ready for the charge.
The speeding chariot, like a bolt of lightning, represented the power of Zeus's thunder, an A+ Rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
However, instead of dodging the chariot's thunderous might, Yecheng showed his determination by thrusting his longsword into the ground and clenching his fists.
"Ahhhh, Triple King's Fist———!"
As his mana was released, Yecheng's clenched fists suddenly erupted with a red flame, and the sheer force of his mana shattered the ground within a ten-meter radius! Countless rock fragments floated in mid-air as if weightless, and when Yecheng retracted his mana, they fell back to the ground.
After the mana burst, Yecheng felt the abundant mana within him, enhanced by the King's Fist, and he once again assumed an attacking stance.
And in the next moment, as a torrent of violent mana burst from Yecheng's back and armpits, his upper garment was torn to shreds by the force.
"Mana Liberation: Extreme Instant Impact———!"
Everyone present felt the ground tremble slightly for a moment, and by the time they reacted, Yecheng had completely vanished from his original spot!
