Chapter 566 – 565. King’s Road (1)
What is the King’s Way? He thought about the time when he drew the sword of choice and assumed the throne, and when he drew the sword and raised it to protect his people. And, paradoxically, he swung his sword to protect those who could not enter the tower, to protect their [Souls], Thinking that it would be salvation for them to send them away with a single sword rather than die in pain.
And, looking at the knights of the Round Table who listened to his orders, the future he had seen, and followed them without a word, Arthur felt sorry for them who followed without a word even when he gave this cruel command.
He will probably end up in hell.
And, they too will fall together.
And-
From now on, this is hell.
Because a monster has appeared.
The knights of the round table lined up next to the king, and the numerous knights following them now look at the 300 Phrygian knights who are coming with the golden sun.
And-
In front of him is his sister Morgan le Fay.
And then, Geumtaeyang, who was right in front of him, opened his mouth.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. King Arthur. Do you remember me?”
“Blonde hair, dark skin, and the fighting spirit that allowed him to survive Lancelot despite not being able to use magic.”
“Well, that was the case back then. But, aren’t you thinking that you can win now?”
Of course not.
Excalibur, stained black, was shining menacingly, telling us to destroy it, that it was a monster that should not exist in this world-
According to one’s intuition…
No matter what you do, you can’t beat it.
And putting Morgan right in front of him was an act he did with self-consciousness.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. Morgan said he wanted to take care of you more than me. And… I’m not particularly interested in you, Arthur.”
“How dare you take the king’s name-“
“He deserves it. Lancelot, stop the author.”
Maybe they’re trying to get to that tower. I have no intention of letting anyone get close.
I sent Lancelot, but-
Kaaaaang!!!
Lancelot quickly lifts Arondite and throws the sword away.
A flying sword.
And the hand that retrieves it again.
A being with sky blue hair and wearing blue armor comes forward.
Eastern Margrave of Frisia.
Elf Slayer.
And, a fellow member of the expedition that accompanied Gawain.
Lancelot had already taken her sword. Of course, it was torn apart almost horribly, and that hasn’t changed even now. It is natural that Elizabeth pointed him out, but she fell and suffered for two years without being able to use magic while she fell, and the process of running away and returning to Magia.
And in the meantime, King Arthur and Lancelot targeted him and tried to kill him.
She declared that she would kill Lancelot in the most painful way.
“… You must play with me, Sir Lancelot. Whether you were ordered to do so by the king or not, you fought to save the world and caused pain to the man who gave up magic to save me. So suffer accordingly. You will die a miserable death.”
“… He’s more of a beast than a knight.”
“The name of a person who makes a living with a sword is only given the name knight, but in the end, the essence of being a being who deals with violence does not change. And what you did to Phrygia was trash, worse than animals.”
The price for what was done in the name of conquest.
I know.
Even Arthur knows the harm that Guinevere brought to Frisia by using the power of the Round Table, by threatening the Round Table, and by using them. And, that’s why it wasn’t until Lee Ji-kyung that he realized that Guinevere was different from the Guinevere he knew, and in the end, this situation was caused by someone wearing Guinevere’s mask.
Even so, the anger of the Empress of Frisia cannot be stopped.
A being that can be seen as Phrygia itself.
Even Arthur knew of her reputation as she single-handedly slaughtered the undead soldiers who came to Muryangdaesu and maintained her position until the end.
And the divine energy flowing through her body is enough to cut her own body into pieces in an instant.
After her resurrection, she went from being a demigod to becoming a goddess of war, and has now followed the Golden Sun’s expedition in the name of ‘retribution’ for trampling her country.
“It would be better to use everything you can. Please, so that I can live for a long time and not suffer as much as I caused you, right?”
That ferocious force. And I also knew that Lancelot, who was facing it, would never die happily. The golden sun was getting closer and closer, and the golden sun was passing by, and then Arthur called two people.
“Percival, Tristan.”
And Percival and Tristan step forward. Percival’s arm was cut off and replaced with a prosthetic arm. And, Tristan, whose strength has been weakened due to long confinement, steps forward at Arthur’s command.
“Join us, Lancelot can’t handle it alone.”
However, one thing was overlooked.
The remaining 300 people are by no means folding screens.
“It won’t be boring if there are three of us… What is it, Hector?”
“I guess I can at least avenge my comrade.”
Hector also comes forward. Of course, Hector’s eyes are on Percival.
Leonidas had already been killed in battle with the demon beasts for a long time, but despite this, the damage caused by the Knights of the Round Table and the damage suffered by his comrades did not change.
“Then, leave it to Hector. And Liz, don’t get hurt. They have something dangerous.”
“What is more dangerous than a risky transaction?”
“They have a scalene polygon. The one Nyarlathotep is holding.”
“…!”
Well, it seems like they are not even aware of it,
Clark added and continued to step forward.
If you know why, you have no choice but to know.
Compared to those that only had existing masks, Nyarlathotep’s scent was too strong.
Throwing something so difficult to make to all the Knights of the Round Table.
Although it seems to be scattered in pieces rather than a whole piece, it is still the mighty power of Nyarlathotep.
If Nyarlathotep, who likes to play with mortals, combines the desperate determination of the Knights of the Round Table to carry on the will of their king, there is no telling what will happen.
Clark warned, and only then did Elizabeth adjust her sword.
Cover your entire body with blue armor, armor made by Clark.
Hector, Elizabeth vs Lancelot, Percival, Tristan.
Their fight.
And…
“Don’t let it go before the king-“
“Go away, little brats.”
Clark pours out merciless magic towards a huge number of troops. And-
“… To this extent-“
“If it doesn’t die at once, it will die if you kill it two, three, or even a hundred times. The strength of a mortal’s body and soul is not that high. Killing it by then is enough.”
The attacks of the ordinary soldiers who rushed to kill Clark even as he was consumed by fire were scattered as ashes by Clark’s magic that was continuously poured out, and the weaponry melted. Enough to put even Nyarlathotep’s powerful shield and the protection of the Round Table to shame.
The merciless magic attack that Clark showed against the enormous number of troops that we had seen so many times over the past five years was unfolding here.
They casually annihilate the troops and move forward, followed by the Knights of the Round Table desperately trying to block the advance.
Attack of the leading knights, Kay, Palamedes, and Ewain.
And-
Kaaaaang!!!
He raises his fist and easily parries Kay’s sword, followed by Roland and Mandricardo.
Ewain, and-
Haha!!! How dare a human being stand in the way of the Son of God!!”
Achilles followed him,
Kaaaaang!!!
Atalanta followed suit and attacked Ewain with the spear of Achilles.
An arrow is fired, and the arrow is deflected with the pauldron, and Ewaine, who took Achilles’ heavy blow, falls to one knee.
“Go, bro!”
“Don’t fuss and fight. Don’t get bitten by a cornered rat.”
“Even if I really say it-“
What do you know?
How much I tried to make that damn bastard into a human being. In the meantime, Clark laughs as he says that he saved the monster girl and survived by running to his death. Is there a line that no one can cross, no matter how bad they are? While doing so, he passes the scene of slaughter.
At the scene of this slaughter, Arthur twitches his eyebrows at the sight of Clark just looking at the tower as if he is not interested.
I can understand him because I know his existence and identity, but I can’t believe he is not interested in himself to this extent.
And then, suddenly, his gaze turns towards himself.
“Arthur Pendragon, personally, I don’t have a big grudge against you. I almost died, but you were the one who died, and I’m alive. And- from my perspective, it doesn’t really matter. I didn’t survive because of Nyarlathotep, and I survived. It’s a different entity. However, Nyarlathotep just added a spoon to it.
Did Nyarlathotep really tell you the truth?
“
“I don’t know anything else, but I know that you are a destroyer who can destroy this world.”
What Nyarlathotep said.
A destroyer who can destroy this world.
And Clark laughs at that.
Of course, that is the truth.
However, if you mix the truth among the many lies, it becomes plausible, and you have no choice but to believe it.
Mixing facts with lies, playing with mortals.
That is the only action that can be done.
“You can destroy it. But why do such boring things? There are so many things I can see in this small world. In the end, it makes you believe what you want to believe without knowing the truth. And that is Nyarlathotep’s specialty… After all, you are just a doll, so you are eliminated, King Arthur.”
So, you can’t fight against yourself.
In the end, I feel regretful and withdraw my interest, wondering if that’s what happened.
“… What?”
“And, it’s not like I’m in a position to talk to you. I’m going to that tower… So I’ll have to play with my ‘sister’ for the first time in a while, right?”
“… Arthur!!!!!”
Kwaaaaang!!!
Morgan comes forward.
His own half-sister. She is the daughter of Igraine and the Duke of Cornwall. Daughter of a fairy, fairy queen. And she is someone who has been at odds with herself for a long time.
He said that Britain must be destroyed and that he should stop holding on to the throne and come down, but Arthur did not listen and said that he could not allow it to be destroyed. That’s why he picked up Excalibur, and the knights of the Round Table who agreed to his will, and the sons and daughters created with his own blood, pointed their swords at him.
Morgan.
She has already faced Britain’s inevitable destruction and death.
A tall-looking man with blond hair and dark skin.
And the steps he took, and the being who was crazy about exploring the world and recording it. Thinking only about that, he became a person who could no longer create any knowledge in this world, could not achieve any feats, and felt no pleasure or sense of accomplishment from accomplishing those feats. He was a person with knowledge. The guardian of the gate of knowledge who blesses those who have achieved great feats on their path and opens new paths for them.
And, as much as it opened the way, there was a lot it could do, and there was almost nothing it couldn’t do.
Isn’t this what omniscience and omnipotence is?
And from that, the concept of this world is simply a ‘trophy’ that is satisfied with the traces of one’s existence in this world, and in fact, except for a very few, there is no interest in the intelligent beings of this world, and they are treated with pretense.
He doesn’t feel anything other than being forced to fight Nyarlathotep because he was simply appointed king. And, even that is just a means to achieve one’s ‘purpose’.
There was no desire for the throne, and it felt like he was not interested from the beginning because he was just following the Demon Sultan’s lead, and his reaction was that it was annoying, but despite this, he gradually showed himself as a king in the labyrinth, and he was literally a king. There is no error whatsoever in the act itself.
As if it just proves that he was created as a king.
Everything is a play, and even he is like a machine that performs correctly even though it is dissatisfied with it.
Other than that, any kind of misconduct is permitted, but in the sense of being a king, he is a person who has the talent of a king who can revive any country if he exists in this world, and who has the qualities of a great soldier.
Therefore, it will not be of much interest.
Just his presence will suppress the monsters of the stars.
Beyond, out in outer space, monsters run rampant.
The existence of new weapons created in preparation for one day when they come to this world and run rampant, and decisive battle weapons such as the holy sword, holy spear, Excalibur, and Rhongomyniad, are weapons to drive such monsters out of this world.
And the existence of chains and restraints to bind them.
Could that be the monster that passes by you?
He simply accepts the responsibility, and although he has shown a lazy and bored appearance, he is definitely a person who walks the royal road.
Arthur touched many people, made every effort to protect the country, and was loved by many knights of the Round Table and the people.
Because he is a monster, he is ostracized, so he focuses on his own work, mercilessly crushes anything that is not needed or gets in his way, and makes a lot of cries, but even so, those who know his sincerity follow him.
There were people who would fight for him on this battlefield where numerous knights and 300 warriors clashed and mercilessly burned the oncoming soldiers.
This world was hell as it was annihilated by King Arthur, who gathered all the people of Britain in one place, left only a thousand people, and thought it would be more merciful to kill them with a single sword than to let the rest die painfully.
This is destruction. What else is there?
In the end, Britain is destroyed during the reign of Arthur.
That hasn’t changed, and now is the moment.
I hate to admit it, but the place where the golden sun passed was somehow alive, and now here…
He was clearly crazy.
So you have to come down now.
Morgan looks at Arthur and takes out his spear along with his magic.
“Come down from your throne, Arthur Pendragon. You should not have been brought back to life!!”
“… I protect my people from inevitable destruction. Even if the number of people who can survive is limited, the people who can be saved, if they can become the people of Britain again in the future – I will become a devil in this hell and give you I will stand up to Morgan!!”
“I’m just having fun. I don’t even know that I’m being played by Nyarlathotep in the first place.”
The golden sun was passing by, perhaps when it finally got closer to the tower.
And, there, Morgan could feel his familiar energy.
That’s right, he was ‘Mordred’, the blade of conversion that he created to kill Arthur.
And-
The golden sun that parried Mordred’s sword in one move and smashed his helmet with his fist-
“… I thought you would be there too, but it’s such a pity to meet you like this.”
“Ha! Kid! You survived well! Thanks to you, I killed Arthur well!”
“I should have killed him more properly. He came back to life like this.”
I was having a pleasant conversation with Mordred.
There are a few scenes where Geum Taeyang, who usually treats everything cynically and indifferently, shows a bit of longing and sadness in his eyes. And-
The golden sun transforms into the form of Mordred, who is guarding the tower, and at the same time, his entire body is covered in blades, and countless blades cut through the magic of the golden sun.
Mordred, who was brought back to life only to kill wizards, would have been a major crisis for any decent wizard, but the author in front of us is not an ordinary wizard.
With an earth-shaking impact, a powerful impact is applied to Mordred’s armor, and it begins to shatter at once.
Kwaaaaang!!!!!
“… Hmm, is your father fighting?”
Evelin was scanning the surrounding environment by tapping his cheek, sensing the shock waves and vibrations felt from the ground to the underground, and continuing to capture the surrounding situation. To strip away what has happened in this world so far and turn it into a space that is not reality. The process of classifying, reorganizing, setting, and rearranging the environment, the people here, and the creatures that were slaughtered and destroyed here and there.
And right behind her, Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, and Galahad, who had fought to the death, were exhausted and breathing heavily, and Lorraine’s mask was broken, her green hair and purple eyes burning, and she became a lich. Lifting Ralof Waitley’s Life Force Vessel.
– Ta, daughter!!! Please!! Please save me!!!!
“… Well? Your daughter isn’t here.”
The Life Force vessel is slowly cracking.
Ralof cried out as the force slowly applied to his hand hit his body.
-Please, please, please save me!!! If you ask your teacher to bow his head, I will bow!!! If you ask me to lick your feet, I will lick them – please, please save me!!! I haven’t surpassed Marcus yet…
Pajjik-
-Keu-heo-!!!
The force exerted on the hand is gradually becoming stronger.
“Do you remember, Ralof Waitley? What you said to me. You’d better remember what you said when you left me.”
-I, I- Kwaaaaah!!!
“Unlike Master, I don’t have patience. On days like these, Master told me to develop patience, and I got scolded and scolded a lot for that, but at least I don’t have to wait patiently, even for you. It’s good to remember that.”
-I, I am your father!!!! Me, I- Kwaaaaah!!!
“… Cruel…”
Gawain looked at Lorraine, or rather Lavinia, who was mercilessly torturing the being who had once been his father. It had been a long time since I had known from Lorraine’s tone of voice and Clark’s concern that Ralof and Lorraine had a father-daughter relationship, but I could see that the scale of that old resentment was beyond imagination.
“You still see me as trash, and you saw how much I’ve changed since you removed my magic circuits… But, okay, I’ll give you another chance. Remember, and spit it out again. In front of me.”
-Keu, kehehehe- The trash magic circuit is still the same… Kwaaaaa!!
Bagagak-
It is becoming more and more cracked.
“Yes, it’s a trash magic circuit. That’s right. And now, I don’t need to be obsessed with magic circuits, but I still really like my magic, which is specialized for this enchantment, and magic circuits. This was the point of contact between my teacher and me.”
If not for that, would she have been able to meet him? Would I have become lovers like this? And- was he even given a chance to take revenge like this?
Ppajik-
And, this man cut it out. This son of a bitch cut it out.
“And then you threw me away at Guinevere. I suffered so much just because I was born to you. And now it’s time for me to get my reward.”
Hehe, do you think you will be honest with others after you kill me? Hehe, look at your teacher… In the end, your teacher also looks after his father-
Ppajik!!!!
“… Master has never wanted that. And, if you were embarrassed that a trash person like you was your father, you would have been embarrassed. If you had been proud to separate waste, you would have been proud. There is no reason to be ashamed, right?”
In the end, Ralof’s body was shattered, and his soul…
Kyaaaaa!!!!!!!
Scream. And then, the grip of death, the grip of the god who is death itself, grabs the soul, and the soul is sucked into hell with no hope of ending. Mortus himself came and took care of the god of death who had been waiting far away in hell, solely to inflict pain on sinners and convert souls into soul energy.
-Good job, kids. I will personally torment and destroy this criminal, so you too can do your part and return.
Just like that, Mortus also retrieved Ralof’s soul and left.
I think it would be a very vain ending.
-I have reached the pinnacle of magic!!!
Did he spit it out?
“… By the way, why is the snout so long when all magic is destroyed by a kid who doesn’t even have blood on his head?”
The fact that I was related by blood to something like that is annoying.
Perhaps pride is a natural part of the sense of being the chosen one, because even when Master was engaged, he would smile and casually give compliments to Ralof. And I could often see Ralof spouting insults, saying that both his father and his son were the same.
And I look at Aris.
Samae, who had come this far and was unable to directly participate in the battle yet, but was able to destroy the devil’s work and was recognized as a magician by his teacher, was truly excellent enough to understand why his teacher had asked him to take him with him.
Although he was somewhat annoyed by the fact that he accepted another student besides himself, his master recognized that Ralof was capable of deconstructing, modifying, and recreating magic to the point that he could play around with it as much as he wanted, and he could always be considered a wizard. He is a master so excellent that he is allowed to put his name forward.
Of course…
-I don’t want to graduate yet.
It’s a bonus to keep sticking around.
…
And looking at how close he is with Evie, it’s clear that those two are up to something.
It’s also related to the teacher.
That’s right, because the female face she sometimes makes when looking at her teacher was not a face that young children would see.
“… You worked hard, Sir Gawain. Let’s take a short break.”
“… Is this the end for him?”
“If the soul was taken by the Lord of Death, Lord Mortus, and escaped from there, that would be a great thing, wouldn’t it?”
“… Are you okay, sister?”
And when Aris asks, Lorraine nods her head.
“I’m fine.”
“… If only I could fight-“
“That in itself is a big fight for the wizards. The annoying thing is that there were a lot of things left behind by Machina and that woman.”
Ralof’s location is Machina’s research base. Also known as Mechanic’s Laboratory. The reason why Lorraine, Gawain, and the three Knights of the Round Table came here against a large army numbering tens of thousands of people and finished off Ralof, who was nesting there, was because they possessed unrivaled military power, and more than anything, they wrote it all down later. This was because the teacher’s daughter, Evelyn, was following along, pacing around the area appropriately.
By cutting the mechanics that are activated by magical power in an appropriate line.
-You can do anything if you put your mind to it, but I told you to adjust the ‘difficulty level’ appropriately and follow along.
Evey, did you say her real name was Eve Tstill?
A child born between the Master and Nyarlathotep, who the Master is currently fighting.
Although she was born in a way she did not want, Master embraced the child born of her blood with her love, just as she had received it, and as a result, this little lady will one day become a woman with the intention of eating Master. Br〉
And, perhaps, Master feels indebted to the fact that he ate his father, and thinking about his father who raised such a monster, he will not hold on to Evie even if she leaves him one day.
That’s why I gave her permission to refuse his orders, but does she know that this little girl is showing her love and infinite loyalty to her father?
Well, I don’t know, but it doesn’t really matter.
“Finished filming. Thank you for your hard work~”
“Even if I only think about cancer, what am I going to do with this structure and the memories of our fight?”
“This is my father’s idea of preparing for the future. For the ‘existence’ that will one day become strong here.”
“… Is there such a thing?”
“I don’t know. As you know… Humans are stupid, but among them, heroes of a different class are bound to appear. My father is enthusiastic about their existence, looks at their achievements, and wants to see them overcome their trials. “
“So, it’s a place where you can legally satisfy sadism… Well… I’ve been abused by my teacher a lot, too.”
Hehe… As a result, you also received your father’s favor, right?”
“… Can I also receive Master’s favor?”
“…”
“Aris, you can do anything! You’ll have to wait 10 years, but I… Ha… I wish time passed quickly.”
Come to think of it, she often forgets that less than a year has passed since he was born. Really, how can this be the thoughts of a kid who has passed a year ago?
No, just looking at Nug and Yev, just these two…
“… Hey, what is that kid talking about-“
And before Gareth, who was right next to her, heard what Evie said and spoke without thinking, Lorraine cuts her off.
“… Don’t worry, if you don’t want to get lost. And you’d better think carefully about what you say. Unlike me, she can actually kill you and bring you back to life. So, Evie, take your strength. Master still wants them to live. “
“… I’ll do it. Consider yourself lucky.”
… As expected.
The star beings, except her Master, and Shubni Guras, are still too difficult for her.
“Ha, really, a being from the stars follows the words of humans, you-“
“Well, I escaped the shackles of humans thanks to my father’s favor. Isn’t it strange to treat such a being as a human?”
And Gareth, who had a problem, spat it out to scratch it, but of course Evie simply responded. He already has human form, but he is not human. Of course, Lorraine knows that too.
That’s right, the more you get entangled, the more entangled you become, and the more you mix, the easier it becomes for your body to accept it.
“And, you probably weren’t born in a normal way in the first place. What’s wrong with humans being made of blood and semen… You know that’s funny, right?”
“… Evie, that’s-“
Perhaps Master also knew.
That’s right, I’m a wizard.
Also, he probably wasn’t born in a very good way, and he must have realized it from the moment he returned, but it’s true that he was intentionally pretending not to know.
“He wasn’t born as a human, but he’s not human either… You should know the topic, right? Let’s rub it in, it’s a homunculus that isn’t even a human.”
“…!!!”
Kaaaaang!!!
And Lorraine’s fist deflects Gareth’s blade. And Gawain stands in the way.
“Gareth!!!”
“Let go of this!! How dare that kid-!!”
“You didn’t say anything wrong, right? Who scratched it first?”
In Evie’s voice, you can also feel the anger that cannot be hidden. And Gawain knew that this rain would kill her Gareth without mercy, so he immediately stopped her Gareth, and he also stopped Lorraine. And, of course, this will be the end of our time together.
When my work on earth is over, I will part ways with them.
Even though they were things that once reduced him to misery, he survived to the end and emerged victorious, not these.
“… Anyway, we won’t even be seeing each other after this, so stop making it up, right? Evie, you can stop too.”
“Tsk. That’s a shame.”
She clicks her tongue as she says that if she hadn’t stopped, she would have just killed him right away. Perhaps this will be a lifelong burden. And she was able to be herself, and she was loyal to King Arthur, who recognized her.
But what happens when she realizes that the round table has been tainted, and she is no longer honorable?
It may be because of their father Clark’s consideration in keeping them away from the fight that is still going on the ground, but do they know?
I don’t know.
And, even if no one knows, the mercy of moving forward while doing what needs to be done is-
It was truly the king’s road.
And Gawain, he appears late, and when he appears to be driving King Arthur to death, a movement that makes us assume that Gawain is pointing his blade at himself.
…
“… Dad…”
He calls his father in frustration, making sure no one can hear. Please, I hope nothing happens.
