Tribute to the Demon King

Gawain held the holy sword in both hands, stood it on the ground, pursed his lips and looked at Matthew and the others with stern eyes: "I admit that I have done these killings. This is a holy punishment ordered by me, yes The killing I allowed, I killed these people."

"Gao Wenqing..."

"Listen, Sir Galahad. You should hate me, regard me as an enemy, and strike me down. This is what a knight should do when he appears on the battlefield-not to seek Why. There should be no 'why' for any killing."

Gawain held the holy sword tightly, and looked at Matthew seriously: "If you can't understand this...it means you are not worthy to pick up that shield. Put it down, the position you hold is too arrogant."

"——The one who is too arrogant is you, Gao Wenqing."

A clear voice sounded from the crowd: "You are not qualified to criticize her beliefs, especially now that she has fallen into evil ways."

"...W-what?"

Seeing that person, Gao Wen's expression was shaken for the first time, and his words were a little confused: "It's... you? How could it be—that's impossible! Why are you there, no, before that——"

After calming down a bit, Gawain's face showed fury and killing intent for the first time: "Knight Bedivere! Are you planning to betray the king?!"

Accompanied by his scolding, the silver-armed knight walked slowly from the side.

Facing Gao Wen's fury, his expression didn't change at all.

His gaze was as firm as a rock and as sharp as a sword.

"There is no doubt that what you have done is wrong."

The man named Bedivere said firmly: "I'm late, it's my fault... King Eden has told me everything, I'm completely clear now... what happened between you guys Such a tragedy. On my life - I will never let you do any more wrong things."

Facing Gao Wen who raised the holy sword, he raised his right arm.The silver prosthetic gleamed with a brilliance that Gao Wen was familiar with.

"……Well!"

Gawain gritted his teeth fiercely, without further hesitation, raised the holy sword and rushed towards Bedivere.

Facing Gawain's holy sword of the sun, which could destroy the army with one blow, Bedivere's right arm instantly sparked with dazzling brilliance.

It was a pure sword made of light.

At that moment, Gao Wen's sword hesitated for a moment.

Before he inspired the sun, Bedivere knocked the tip of the sword on Gawain's holy sword with superb swordsmanship.

——At that moment, it was like glass being smashed by a giant hammer.

The cloudless, blue sky instantly shattered, and the daylight at noon disappeared like an illusion!

"...Has the enemy attacked? Why is there such chaos in front of Camelot?"

Outside the city, the knight in purple armor frowned, and was about to draw out his holy sword and head towards the root of the chaos.

But at that moment—he saw, the scorching sun at noon was torn apart like a mirage.

The knight's pupils were slightly startled, and his steps hesitated a little.

"...Has Gao Wenqing's blessing been withdrawn?"

Chapter 78 The Clash of the Knights

The scorching sun at noon was shattered by a sword, and the seemingly endless power on Gao Wen's body also shattered and dissipated like a dream.

Gawain's special physique "Number of Saints" allows him to triple his strength at special moments.The blessing "nightless" he holds is the ability to maintain this fluctuating blessing to make it permanent.

But Bedivere's holy sword arm canceled out the blessing from the Lion King.After losing the protection of never-night, the sky returned to the night sky in the second half of the night.

From now until nine o'clock in the morning - within six hours, Gawain's strength will weaken to one-third of its previous level.Like a boss whose invincibility has been shaved off by the correct attack method, it has entered a stage of weakness from the level of being almost impossible to defeat.

But when Gao Wen fell into a critical moment, Bedivere on the other side took advantage of the situation and joined the battle.Hassan and Kotomine Shirou, who had been going to evacuate the civilians and resist the solemn knights, saw the night falling again, and immediately sensed the arrival of the war opportunity, and turned back to join the battle.

The battle in front of Camelot, the city of Baiya, changed from two-on-one to seven-on-two in an instant.With Matthew in charge of resisting the damage of the Noble Phantasm, Mario constantly hitting several tons of heavy steam punches, Bedivere, who knows Gawain's swordsmanship very well, constantly defuses Gawain's offensive, and there are Kotomine Shirou and Da Vinci The rear affected the earth's veins to launch an attack magic, and the two Hassans also escaped into the shadows smoothly.

The lineup and tacit understanding of Matthew's side are perfect.Under the ebb and flow, the Sun Knight Gawain who was originally in an absolutely invincible position immediately fell into a disadvantage.Even with Gareth's support, it was barely enough to guarantee that he wouldn't retreat immediately, or have his head taken away by a certain Hassan.

"Gao Wenqing!"

But right here, a calm voice came from outside the encirclement: "Back!"

Gawain immediately understood, grabbed Gareth's waist and jumped back.

Matthew and Jean Mario were about to chase forward, but they were blocked by a flash of brilliant light.

——It was a sharp and hot slash of light, as clear as a blue lake.

It was a handsome and exceptionally tall knight.Standing in front of Gao Wen, he was even a head taller than Gao Wen.

The holy sword in his hand was engraved with elven characters, and it shone with a light as clear and pure as a lake under the moon.But in his brows and eyes, there was a little melancholy that couldn't be concealed.

"Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot is here—"

He whispered, facing the gathering of seven people, there was no fear in his eyes.

Lancelot didn't look back, but asked in a low voice to Gao Wen, who was a bit embarrassed behind him: "Are you all right... Mr. Gao Wen. And Mr. Gareth."

"...Yes. Thank you, Sir Lancelot."

Gawain paused, and thanked Lancelot softly in a complicated tone.

He probably didn't expect that he would be rescued by Lancelot one day.

Gareth's reaction was more intense.She was shocked, and her voice couldn't help raising her voice a little: "No, nothing! Thank you... Thank you for saving us! Sir Lancelot!"
