King Arthur: "...Did you see the change in my expression? What an amazing ability to perceive things."

Bishop of Destiny: "Hehe, you flatter me. It's just that you lost control of your emotions when you saw him fighting against the King of Heroes."

King Arthur: "...It's hard to believe, but...if I'm not mistaken, he is Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake."

That's right. His ability to turn other people's Noble Phantasms into his own is the ability of "Knights Never Die Bare-Handed". His ability to hide his true name should be one of his Noble Phantasms - "Glory That Is Not for Oneself". In addition, there is his superb martial arts skills and those eyes that seem vaguely familiar.

There's no mistake, Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake... Why, why has he fallen to this state?

Chapter Seventeen: Lancelot, the Berserker's True Name

Lancelot? The legendary strongest Knight of the Round Table?

It is said that his illicit affair with Queen Guinevere led to the destruction of Camelot, making him a symbol of the defeat in the Arthurian legend.

As his former monarch, King Arthur was naturally able to recognize his subjects.

However, no one expected that King Arthur and Lancelot's encounter in the Holy Grail War would turn out like this.

Eriri: "What a coincidence, King Arthur himself happens to be here."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I'm more curious about Guinevere than Lancelot. Since King Arthur is already a woman, could he be a man?"

Conan: "Is this a question worth worrying about? Well, actually I'm quite curious too. Since King Arthur was already a woman, how did Mordred come to be? Could it be that she wasn't his biological daughter?"

King Arthur: "..."

Even someone as powerful as Saber Alter was at a loss for words when faced with such an overwhelming barrage of questions. Explaining Mordred's origins and Guinevere's existence to them was simply too much trouble. It was better to focus on the light screen in front of him.

.........

The screen image shifts to the Berserker Master hiding in the shadows. The latter seems to be under immense pressure and pain, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and the veins on his face are bulging and even writhing. He is clenching his teeth in a ferocious expression.

But even in such pain, the man still muttered with hatred through his teeth: "Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him..."

This intense hatred could be felt by people in the multiverse even through the light screen, and many people found it incomprehensible.

Gilgamesh is clearly a Heroic Spirit. Although he has a foul mouth and a complicated personality, he was only summoned in the Holy Grail War. He has only been in this world for a short time. There is no reason for him to have such a big conflict with a Master of the Holy Grail War.

Could it be that without anyone knowing, the King of Heroes had already clashed with the Berserker's Master and killed someone important to him?

However, given the style of the arrogant and tyrannical Hero King, if he had started a conflict, he would most likely have crushed the person to death on the spot. Why would he leave the other person to fight against him?

This question has puzzled countless people, but many intelligent individuals have also considered another possibility.

.........

Bishop of Destiny: "It shouldn't be a conflict with Gilgamesh, but with Gilgamesh's Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka. Furthermore, this person should be very familiar with Tokiomi Tohsaka, or it's possible that he only knew of Tokiomi Tohsaka's existence."

Conan: "Tokiomi Tohsaka appeared in the previous scene, but I really can't imagine what kind of hatred they have between them."

L: "Although the Berserker's Master in the story acts crazy, it seems that he doesn't really want to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka. Rather, he acts with the mentality of 'I'm going to make you suffer.' Sending his Servant to deal with Gilgamesh instead of killing Tokiomi Tohsaka directly is clear evidence of this."

King of Heroes: "Tokiomi, come out and explain why that mad dog's mongrel Master hates you so much?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Kariya, I never imagined he would go to such lengths to participate in the Holy Grail War and inherit the Matou family's magic. Your Majesty, he's just an ordinary clown. I can handle him."

Kariya Matou: "Tokiomi Tohsaka!!! I'm going to kill you, I'll definitely kill you!!!"

With the appearance of the main character, the comments section suddenly became interesting. Many people were curious about the grudge between Tohsaka Tokiomi and Matou Kariya, which led Matou Kariya to participate in the Holy Grail War to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi, even if it meant transforming into that inhuman and ghostly form.

Unfortunately, even amidst the barrage of comments on the screen, Matou Kariya remained seemingly unable to understand human speech or communicate, offering nothing more than venting his anger towards Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Kariya, you really look like a clown. Do you hate me that much for sending Sakura to the Matou family? Is it because her talent is enough to replace you in inheriting the Matou family's magic? However, everything you have done will be in vain. You are no match for me, and Berserker will never be a match for the King... Just as the light screen shows, your magic power is almost exhausted."

.........

The light screen image, just as Tokiomi Tohsaka had said, showed that Kariya Matou coughed up a mouthful of blood, then his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing in pain.

Then, the camera shifted to Lancelot, who was frantically waving his weapon when he suddenly froze, unable to fully withstand Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm attack, and was sent flying with a loud bang.

At the same time, fragments of armor flew out, and the right shoulder of Lancelot's black armor was directly destroyed and stained with blood.

Seeing this, the enraged Hero King revealed a ferocious smile and mocked, "Mad dog, it seems your master can't provide you with much power anymore. Since you've become a useless dog, you might as well lie down on the ground obediently and die gratefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another barrage of Noble Phantasms rained down. This time, Lancelot was lying on the ground due to the previous attack and had not yet been able to get up. Basically, if he were hit, Berserker would have to leave the stage tonight.

However, at this moment, the camera shifts, and Irisviel and Saber have somehow arrived beside Alicia. They seem to be exchanging something, but after a brief exchange, Saber abandons Irisviel and rushes towards the battlefield.

As people were taken aback by this sudden turn of events, the camera returned to where Lancelot was.

At this moment, the King of Heroes' Noble Phantasm rain was about to fall on the Lake Knight.

But in that very instant, King Arthur appeared swiftly before the knight Lancelot, the holy sword in his hand having shed its disguise as an invisible blade, its golden magic surging forth.

As the Eternal King swung his sword with both hands, golden magic power was released, forming a terrifying slashing force that cut across.

At this moment, Excalibur unleashed its hidden power, shattering the six Noble Phantasms projected by the King of Heroes with a single slash from a distance, powered solely by magic.

With a rumbling sound, the treasure turned into countless fragments and splashed out.

With this decisive strike, Saber protected his knights from the clutches of the Hero King.

Chapter Eighteen: Prime Minister Cao, I've figured it out.

This scene shocked countless people; no one expected Artoria to step in and save Lancelot.

After all, historically speaking, Lancelot had a good relationship with King Arthur in the early stages, but in the end he also chose to betray him.

In a sense, Lancelot essentially cuckolded King Arthur. Moreover, Lancelot directly led to King Arthur's campaign against France, followed by Mordred's plot to rebel, which ultimately resulted in King Arthur's death.

This whole series of events is a cycle of cause and effect. If Lancelot hadn't had an affair with Guinevere and eloped, King Arthur wouldn't have been persuaded by Gavin, and the Battle of Camlann wouldn't have happened.

It can be said that Lancelot's crimes were absolutely unforgivable to King Arthur, and he was the indirect architect of King Arthur's tragedy.

Moreover, even if King Arthur once trusted and loved Lancelot very much, this is the Holy Grail War, where only one out of seven can win. Wouldn't King Arthur be saving the enemy by doing this?

However, during the Holy Grail War, King Arthur unexpectedly saved Lancelot, which is astonishing.

Incredible, incomprehensible, unimaginable.

.........

[On the screen, after a brief silence, the King of Heroes stared at Saber with eyes full of rage and demanded, "Woman, do you want to die? How dare you interfere with me!"]

Upon hearing this, Artoria was silent for a moment, and at this moment, a classic scene that brought back memories emerged.

The scene that appears is one where she was with Irisviel before. After learning that Bersker's identity is Lancelot, Artoria's brows are filled with indescribable complex emotions.

After seeing this, the considerate Irisviel thought for a moment and then asked Saber, "Saber, are you worried about that Berserker?"

Saber was stunned when she heard this, and immediately turned to look at Irisviel, who smiled sweetly. "After all, Saber, you have your thoughts written all over your face. You must know that Berserker, right?"

Saber paused for a moment, then nodded, her gaze returning to Lancelot, who was being bombarded by the King of Heroes' Noble Phantasms: "She is Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, my former knight."

Upon hearing this, Irisviel instinctively put her small hand to her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Lancelot? Is that the knight who's known as the strongest among the Knights of the Round Table?"

Artoria hummed in agreement, her expression complex and her voice wistful: "Yes, it was him."

Irisviel frowned adorably: "It seems Saber's experiences are different from what's recorded. Your attitude towards her..."

"..." Saber shook her head silently, her gaze even more complicated. "I just don't understand why Lord Lancelot would appear in this way. He was once a glorious knight, but now he's become like this. Did I do something wrong to cause him to become like this, or..."

Saber didn't say anything more, but just stared silently at Lancelot in the center of the battlefield.

“Lancelot… has always been an excellent knight, a knight who has never disgraced the name of the Knights of the Round Table.”

The understanding Irisviel thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Then, Saber, go and help him!"

Saber turned to Irisviel in surprise: "But... he is, after all, an enemy of the Holy Grail War..."

Irisviel smiled like a beautiful and understanding angel: "But, he's someone you value, Saber, isn't he? Well, although I don't know much about tactics, with that King of Heroes around, it wouldn't be a good thing if other Servants were to leave on the first night, would it? Kiritsugu certainly wouldn't refuse."

"Besides, helping him might even give us a powerful ally. As for me—actually, Kiritsugu just contacted me; he's still nearby, and... that fairy-like girl, she just became my friend."

"So, Saber, just go ahead! Don't worry about me."

“But…” Saber hadn’t finished speaking when Irisviel interrupted, “Don’t worry, I can sense that the girl isn’t a bad person. If she wanted to make a move, I would be dead already, wouldn’t I? Besides, she’s not a participant in the Holy Grail War, so nothing will happen to her.”

Saber was deeply moved: "Thank you, Irisviel..."

Then, the flashback ended, and the scene returned to Saber's side.

.........

The light and shadow projections captivated countless fans, making Irisviel a fan.

An angel, this is a real angel! I really want to have a gentle girl like her as my wife~

However, it seems that Irisviel has already married Kiritsugu and they even have children.

Wouldn't that be even better? In an instant, countless people who had once believed in Liu Bei and Sun Quan switched their allegiance to Cao Cao, saying that they had deeply understood the extraordinary and great vision of Prime Minister Cao.

Bishop of Destiny: "She's such a gentle girl. Seeing her reminds me of my Karen. Hehe, they really do look alike, both with white hair."

Kenneth: "Einzbern's competitors? Isn't it a better plan to eliminate one enemy? Why care about what those familiars think?"

.........

[In the light screen image, just as everyone was transforming into Cao Cao, King Arthur also responded to Gilgamesh's wrath.]

“I’m sorry, King of Heroes, I did not intentionally intervene in your battle with him. However, he is my knight, and seeing him in this Holy Grail War is like a fateful reunion for me. Therefore, I want to resolve the matter between him and me personally.”

Upon hearing this, the King of Heroes fell silent, closed his eyes, and then his expression gradually became ferocious. The enraged king, with uncontrollable fury, instantly activated the golden light screen that covered the sky with words, revealing hundreds of treasures of varying levels and forms.

"One after another, you miscellaneous cultivators, do you really think the king's wrath is false?"

At this moment, the Hero King's rage and murderous intent spread out as if it had become tangible. Even the other onlookers who were not directly experiencing it could clearly feel the power he was emitting at this moment. It was a rage that was truly disregarding everything and had the power to reduce the entire city to ruins.

Alicia's eyes narrowed. This chuunibyou king seemed to be more than he appeared. Could that blonde female knight be his match?

At this moment, Saber stared intently at the King of Heroes, then gripped the holy sword tightly in her hand. She knew that a great battle was inevitable.

Just then, Lancelot, who was lying on the ground, looked up and saw Saber's back. He froze, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he couldn't say it.

"Ah~~~Sa~~~"

With a hoarse roar filled with boundless madness and sorrow, the Knight of the Lake began to attack Saber uncontrollably.

Chapter Nineteen: King Arthur and the Knight of the Lake

The sudden betrayal stunned everyone inside and outside the light screen image, even Gilgamesh, who had been so enraged that he wanted to destroy everything, was taken aback.
