I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 118 The Knight's Hand That Plunders the Gods

Winchester Cathedral.

This place was an important site for the church in Britain, and one of the major gathering places for various Protestant factions in Britain, besides the holy city of Canterbury.

At this time, the church in Britain was not the Roman Christianity that Britain originally believed in, nor the Pelagian Church that the Celts believed in during Arthurian time, nor Christianity in the secular sense, but a Protestant church established on the basis of the original Roman Catholic Church after the disappearance of God.

The Protestant Church, also known as the Church of the King, was influenced by the World Transition. Their beliefs were not unified, and they simultaneously believed in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the King's Covenant written by Solomon.

The level of chaos and infighting it caused was such that each generation had its own version of Christ.

Wangdu Fourth Ring Road, Shengtang Street.

now,

I had just stepped onto this street, and had not yet truly arrived at the massive religious complex that resembled a crouching dragon under the night sky.

Within Suya's crimson vision, a light curtain resembling an inverted bowl could already be seen.

That was a giant barrier built on the third largest spiritual vein convergence node within the royal capital.

Under Meryl's tutelage along the way, Suya had come to a general understanding that the barrier built upon the 'Great Source' of the mystical era was fundamentally different from the barriers built by modern magicians; its defensive capabilities and various properties far surpassed the former.
In more scientific terms, this thing is a cutting-edge technology that integrates nanofilms, anomalous near-field optical shields, and non-Newtonian fluid thickening effects.

The Holy Lance Lungominiad, which shrouds the entire capital, is essentially a more outrageous and fantastical form of black technology than this.

To overcome this kind of thing, you need to come up with something even more fantastical in style—

Holy sword.

At this moment, Suya looked at Baling beside her, who was gripping the hilt of the holy sword tightly.
In his hand, the holy sword Melia Duke trembled like a restless little wife, frantically resisting his will. However, this resistance began to become docile under the dark light gradually rising from the other's large hand.

Then, strands of holy light began to gather on the sword, and the red-handled cross-shaped longsword gradually took on the form of a lightsaber.

What are you going to give me?

Although she didn't quite understand, Suya still reached out her hand.
then,

He then saw the other person pull out a piece of black, charcoal-like wood from somewhere on his person, with thick black smoke billowing from its surface.

Baring held up the charred-looking thing with one hand and handed it to him.
"Eat this."

Suya was stunned, thinking to himself, "Although I'm not a picky eater and my heart can barely be used as a magic furnace core, you can't really make me eat coal!"
"what is this?"

Baring replied truthfully, "It was leftover scraps from when we made that round table."

"Is this a round table?"

"That's right. Don't let its unsightly appearance fool you. This one piece alone can already be considered a one-time use A-rank Noble Phantasm."

A-rank Noble Phantasm?
Upon hearing this, Suya was taken aback. Even a C+ level miracle could create an incredibly exaggerated scene, and now, a fragment of the Round Table was actually an A-level Noble Phantasm, which was even stronger than that.
What level of Noble Phantasm would a complete Round Table be?

Is this still the B+++ grade dining table that I remember?
Suya took the piece of the round table with a blank expression. However, before he could figure out how to swallow this piece of coal, which was bigger than his head,

Beside him, Baring's ears twitched, and he suddenly frowned slightly, reminding him in a low voice:
"Someone's coming, and quite a few of them!"

Upon hearing this, Suya immediately looked up and saw...
From the other side of the empty Holy Church Street, a paladin suddenly emerged from a street called Holy Water Street. He was wearing a red and white cross armor and a full-face iron helmet that completely covered his face.

Between the gaps in the paladins' armor, one could see wild, spiky hairs that pierced through the chainmail, resembling the manes of wild beasts.

When Suya saw the leader, a burly, square-faced paladin who wasn't wearing a helmet, his pupils suddenly contracted.
This person was none other than the paladin he had seen in Knight Street before, the one who had been swallowed by the owl monster and should have been dead.
Vasak!
now,

Vasak, clad in heavy armor and carrying a broadsword, arrived with his paladin entourage. He stared intently at Suya and Baling, a sinister sneer playing on his lips.

“You almost fooled me, kid. And, Mr. Robber.”

Baring frowned slightly, subtly scrutinizing the other person before solemnly reminding Suya:

“Look at its shadow.”

Upon hearing this, Suya immediately turned her gaze to the other party's shadow. At that moment, what was reflected in the moonlight at the feet of Knight Vasak was not the shadow of a 'person', but a huge, ferocious, and constantly swaying phantom of a giant snake.

"This guy should be one of the seventy-two demons under Solomon's command. We probably stole his treasure before, and he holds a grudge against us."

"Stop him! Don't let him interrupt my gathering of sword energy. I need three minutes to unleash my Noble Phantasm!"

Suya turned her head and looked at him, puzzled:
"Does it really take this long to recite the Noble Phantasm release incantation?"

"This sword was stolen. It wouldn't have been this troublesome before, but now... Anyway, my lord, I'm begging you."

Baring gave Suya a helpless, bitter smile, touched the roof with his toes, and with a flash, retreated backward, leaving the battlefield to Suya.

Suddenly, the space around him was empty.
Standing alone on the rooftop, time seemed to rewind, taking me back to the moment I met this square-faced knight yesterday evening.
At that moment, Suya was also standing on the rooftop, while Vasak was standing on the street; the two looked at each other.

The battle, which was halted at dusk, continues now.

The two stared at each other, both able to see the undisguised killing intent in each other's eyes!
"Vasak," Suya muttered the name, and with Baring's reminder, he immediately began to guess the other party's real name, and his expression became serious.

According to King Solomon's book, Raemon Gaddon,

Vasak is the third of the 72 Demon Gods, commanding 26 legions. He is depicted as a boy riding a crocodile, and his abilities include foreseeing the future, knowing secrets, and finding lost items.

Some texts also refer to him as "the shadow serpent that erodes the holy light".

now,

Sua knew that she was under the influence of Aristotle's magic and the schemes of her predecessor, the Red Dragon King.

Although it's unclear why, both sides seem to be pushing themselves toward the path that Arthur Pendragon was meant to take—the path of the Knight King.
Obtain the Round Table from the King of Knights and establish the Knights of the Round Table.

It is undoubtedly an important part of it.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why I've been so lucky along the way and haven't encountered any significant obstacles.

Just like when he won millions of pounds in the Winchester casino and gained Gerry Freyt's allegiance, as long as he continued to imitate King Arthur, he would receive a huge 'luck' bonus within the capital.

Vasak, who appears at this moment, is a variable outside of the two paths of destiny.

Or rather, he belonged to a third person who could disrupt fate, who, through abilities such as clairvoyance or foresight, was exempt from Aristotle's magic and appeared before him.

At this moment, focusing our attention on Winchester, the capital of Britain, a third powerful force capable of disrupting 'fate' has emerged!
King Solomon,
He didn't seem to want to see Sua ascend the throne.

Thinking of this, a thoughtful look flashed in Suya's eyes.

Soon, this thoughtful expression transformed into a strong killing intent when it landed on the third of the 72 Demon Gods, Vasak's consciousness possession!
It's too early to think about escaping the problems of fate.
But regardless, this guy is now blocking his path to gaining power.

Then the only option is to kill him!
What Suya needed to do was to hold off this guy in front of him and the 100 paladins behind him for three minutes!

One thought comes to this,
Without hesitation, Suya picked up the coal-like fragment of the round table in her hand and, like President Wang swallowing bread, stuffed this thing, which was bigger than her head, into her mouth.

Snap, snap!
A shrill chewing sound, like thousands of molten lava blocks crunching together, echoed between their teeth!

Suya endured the agonizing pain of how damn awful this thing was, and swallowed the round table whole like Tom swallowed a lump of iron!
The next moment,
Lines of text instantly floated up before my eyes:

[Talent: Legendary Heart, triggered.]

[Temporarily triggered the fifth legendary path: Believer (F).]

【illustrate:???】

[Gained Ability: The Knight's Hand That Steals from the Gods.]

[Note: This refers to the Red Dragon (crossed out), the ability of the Baring Knight, who holds the highest position in the Round Table of Knights. Just as the name suggests—plunder, seize! Defile even the noblest glory with your hands! Transform all the treasures you hold into your power!]
