Davidian's Holy Grail War

When struggling to survive, he really couldn't be bothered to think about love and romance, so he was stumped by Habe-miao's question.

For a moment, he didn't know how to distinguish between these different emotions. How strange.

Just as he was pondering these things, Da Vinci rushed into the operations room.

Although she was still panting, she spoke immediately the moment she saw Ritsuka:

"Ritsuka! Go quick! Fairy Knight Tristan has launched a magical duel against Caster! The Son of Prophecy versus the Daughter of the Queen, the second round of the great battle!"

Ritsuka was so startled by these words that he jumped up. At this moment, he really couldn't care less about Da Vinci and Habertrot who were still there.

He rushed toward the square of Lentinium as fast as the wind.

As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw Bavanshi, who had already taken a stance to challenge Caster.

Ritsuka was terrified. What was going on? He couldn't understand why Bavanshi was going to fight Caster again. What was going on?

"This time is different from the last. I've adjusted myself to my best condition. Child of Prophecy—Artoria Caster, will you accept my challenge head-on? Running away in disgrace wouldn't be befit the Child of Prophecy!"

Bawanshi has already begun a direct provocation, and Ritsuka can't help but cover her face now.

Is Bawanxi Li a god or demon in Jiangxi? Caster has been strengthened twice by the Bell of Prophecy, and his strength is completely different from the previous one, you know?

"If I take your challenge seriously this time, you'd better go back to Camelot obediently! Don't keep bothering Ritsuka and me here!"

Caster responded to Bavanshi's provocation with a serious expression, her face unusually filled with murderous intent, something Ritsuka had never seen before.

But Bawanshi didn't seem to care. She simply said with a cruel smile, "Well then, if I win, I'll take the Master from this other world with me. If that happens, do you still dare to fight me?"

Upon hearing this, Caster's previously intense killing intent subsided somewhat. However, when she turned to look to the side, she found Ritsuka watching her.

Ritsuka nodded slightly to Caster. Encouraged by him, Caster immediately sprang to her feet. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Bavanshi in front of her and declared:

"I am the Child of Prophecy—Artoria Caster! I wager the name of the Chanter to accept this duel with the Fairy Knight Tristan! If you dare to act recklessly, I will show no mercy! I will crush your arrogant pride along with your expensive heels!"

The citizens of Lentinium were also stirred by her emotions, but Ritsuka remained calm. He knew that Caster currently had the upper hand, but whether this matter could be resolved peacefully depended on him.

"Huh? You dare to say that! You country bumpkin! It's commendable that you understand the value of shoe heels! But the more smug you get, the more your face will sting when you lose! Because while I sympathize with you, begging for mercy won't work with me!"

Hearing this, Caster was stunned; she even found it amusing. This guy still hadn't realized the difference in their strength? How pathetic!

Bawanshi noticed her expression and became annoyed.

What's with that country bumpkin's expression? Does she really think she can win? She came fully prepared this time, determined to show this guy the difference in their strength!

"Let me be clear from the start, I won't sympathize with you! You're probably already used to going home crying, aren't you? After all, this is the second time!"

"You're dreaming! It's me who's going to tear you to pieces!"

Ritsuka couldn't help but cover her face. What were these two doing? Were they elementary school students?

"Then let it begin! Queen's Daughter, Fairy Knight Tristan, versus Prophecy's Child, Artoria Caster! The duel between the two begins now!"

Percival served as the referee; he was the only one here with both strength and good character that neither side worried about. And with his command, the duel immediately commenced.

This time, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle from the very beginning, and it was not limited to magic tricks. Both sides used almost everything they could.

On Bawanshi's side, Morgan gave her the tools and taught her the chanting.

At Castor's place, however, lay everything she had learned, along with the fundamental improvements brought about by ringing the bell.

What a fierce battle! Even Ritsuka, who was watching from the sidelines, had to admit that compared to the previous battles, these two could now be considered to be fighting between orthodox magicians. Ritsuka was also secretly watching, hoping to learn something from the fight.

However, he soon realized that he wouldn't learn anything from them; their techniques and methods were completely different from those of Chaldea.

However, as the battle dragged on, Bawanshi could no longer hold on. Her items were almost exhausted, while Caster still had energy left through his incantations.

[This is impossible! Based on the last comparison and prediction! How could I possibly lose this time? How did her power increase so much? This feeling... this feeling is just like my mother!]

Bavanshi's composure was crumbling, and Caster seized the opportunity to continue his attack. Ritsuka realized something was wrong; Bavanshi's condition wouldn't hold up if this continued.

"Stop! Caster!" Ritsuka spoke too late; Caster had already delivered his decisive blow. Bawanshi was knocked back several meters by the attack, and her composure crumbled completely.

At this moment, Bawanshi clutched her chest, her expression no longer as relaxed as before. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"It's falling off...it's going to fall off...wait, no...I'll get punished by Mother again! She'll scold me and say, 'Why is this happening? Why are you always like this!'"

"Bawanshi!" Ritsuka called her name, picked her up, and left. If she were left here and allowed to continue her emotional breakdown, it would be troublesome.

"Ritsuka!" Caster hurriedly followed, completely bewildered. How did Ritsuka end up carrying that troublesome fairy knight Tristan away? And why did he tell her to stop just now?

What exactly happened? What's going on here?

Caster's brain is about to overload; she can't understand it, she completely can't comprehend this situation.

Chapter 378 Summoning of Heroic Spirits

When Caster went to the room that Ritsuka had been assigned, Bavanshi had already fallen asleep under Ritsuka's comforting care.

She didn't know what Ritsuka had said to Bawanshi that had managed to soothe Bawanshi, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and help her fall asleep.

However, it seems that things have finally settled down.

She knew she had made a mistake; in her excitement, she had acted rashly and delivered the decisive blow.

The result was completely unexpected. This blow not only defeated Bavanshi, but also completely shattered her mentality, even knocking away the name Morgan had given her.

"It's alright, it's not to the point of unimaginable turmoil. Although her bestowed name has fallen off, her spiritual foundation is still stable for now."

However, now that people see her, they might remember her real name; Morgan's protection of her true identity ends here.

Ritsuka sat on the edge of the bed and comforted Caster as he entered the room, saying that there was really no need to blame Caster for this.

After all, no one expected that Bavanshi's true nature was actually so fragile. Now that Caster is serious, he can easily burst this soap bubble.

"Ritsuka, you didn't blame me at all. And your relationship with Bawanshi is better than we thought."

After a brief silence, Caster spoke these words, while Ritsuka simply replied calmly that she had learned a lot about the past from Bavanshi. Therefore, her opinion of both Morgan and Bavanshi had changed.

"These are all minor matters now. Perhaps she will remain asleep until dawn. That's for the best. After all, the battle against the Queen's army is coming up next. If the Queen's daughter were to appear in the rebel camp, it would probably be a completely bad thing for His Majesty."

Upon hearing Ritsuka's words, Castor showed a surprised expression.

Is Ritsuka protecting Morgan? Judging from the current situation, they hold important hostages. Yet Ritsuka is not only protecting Bavanshi, but also seemingly intending to support Morgan's position.

“Even if we are to defeat Morgan, we will do so honorably and openly, correcting her mistakes in front of her. There is no need to resort to any despicable means. I think Minister David An is also hoping for that.”

Ritsuka didn't even turn around when she said those words, but Castor could probably imagine what her expression was like.

Why? Why? He's just an ordinary person, burdened with responsibilities imposed upon him, so why doesn't he back down in this situation?

Caster couldn't understand how Ritsuka could push herself up under such immense pressure; her eyes saw it all clearly, despite the contradictions.

But why? Having grown up in this fairy kingdom, she couldn't fully understand this situation.

She didn't know what her current state of mind was; perhaps she was somewhat fascinated by the contradictory human being before her.

Time flowed by little by little. Ritsuka looked at Bawanshi lying on the bed, while Castor watched Ritsuka sitting there.

The room was filled with silence; perhaps only time could resolve their issues.

As the sun rose, Ritsuka stood up. He no longer had time to care for Bavanshi, who was still sleeping there; he had to go out and fight.

The Queen's army's siege is about to begin. This is no joke; he must hold it, or Lentinium will be finished.

“Let’s go, Caster. This is our battle.” Ritsuka turned to look at Caster, who nodded silently. The two left the room, heading towards their battlefield.

But it was after they left that Bavanshi opened her eyes.

When Ritsuka and Caster arrived at the front lines, Oberon fell from the sky. The moment he landed, he immediately returned to normal, and everyone could see the excited and smug look on his face.

"The Lord of the Welsh Forest, the Fairy King Oberon, has returned! Everyone, have you missed me?" Oberon greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone responded with their resolute expressions.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Oberon chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "That's right, now is not the time to talk about these things. Fujimaru Ritsuka! Artoria Caster! Come with me, now is the time for you to play your part! The rest of you, buy some time."

The two followed Oberon to an empty plaza, where Oberon opened his arms. He gently tossed out a ball of light, which shattered upon hitting the ground, instantly revealing a red summoning magic circle.

The exquisite technique left Ritsuka mesmerized. Although Caster and Bavanshi's techniques last night were already quite ingenious, this summoning magic circle before her was clearly far superior to theirs.

Is this the special magic circle Morgan originally used to summon Davian? It's so cleverly constructed.

“Go to the center of the magic circle, Caster. This summoning must use your name; we have no chance of winning without a designated summoning.”

Oberon began directing operations from the scene, while Caster, quite curious, asked why she had to stand in the center of the summoning magic circle. What was her purpose?

At this moment, Oberon was genuinely looking at him like he was an idiot.

He was speechless. Was this person really that stupid? Didn't she even understand the most basic principle of mysticism: that names themselves are full of power?

But then he remembered something: who exactly was the person who taught Caster magic...?

Ah, it's alright then, we can't blame Caster.

"A name is important in itself. A name can give power to its owner, and it can also allow others who know the name to use it against the owner. Not to mention Heroic Spirits, whose names have even more crucial meanings."

Oberon could only explain the power contained in the name to the two people, but even so, they remained dumbfounded, completely failing to understand.

Aube felt that his important words had been ignored as if they were nothing.

"In short, it's Caster's current name—Artoria. We'll use this name to establish direct contact with King Arthur from the pan-human history. To deal with Lord Camelot and the enchantress of Britain, King Arthur is the most suitable candidate, isn't he?"

This time, the two of them understood.

Ah~ So it turns out that he just wanted to use the connection between Castor and King Arthur's names to directly summon King Arthur. I don't know what Oberon was trying to achieve by talking so much nonsense. Wouldn't everyone have understood if he had just said it earlier?

"It may sound a bit despicable, but summoning King Arthur would probably directly target Lord Camelot's heart."
