FATE: Target of Grand Master

If we were to ask who the happiest Servant was at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Musashi, who had been transformed into a chibi pig and was being held in Xia Yan's arms.

As everyone walked along the corridor leading from Camelot to the main hall, including Xia Yan, they were all pondering what to do when they met the Lion King. Only Musashi completely cleared his mind and began to enjoy the city of Camelot with a joyful heart.

It must be said that, if it weren't for the damage caused by the battle, Camelot would indeed give people a clean and beautiful impression.

The city walls, passageways, and sculptures are all spotless white, and the uniformly trimmed plants along the roads give the impression that everything here is well-organized.

Unfortunately, such a city does not allow the hungry and cold civilians outside the city to enter.

After easily defeating several squads of righteous knights responsible for guarding the interior of Camelot, the group arrived at the main hall's entrance.

Although the possibility was extremely slim, to avoid a trap, Cú Chulainn still pierced the door with a few shots and then walked towards the Lion King sitting on the throne in the main hall and his governor Agravan beside him.

As the group moved forward, neither the Lion King nor Agravain made a move, as if Xia Yan and the others were not enemies, but guests to be received.

Xia Yan and the others walked all the way to the steps and met the Lion King and Agguiwen on the steps.

Why didn't you kneel before the Lion King?

It was Agguwen who was the first to break the silence.

"How dare that mere Artoria demand that I kneel!"

"Hahahaha, I am the Sun King, I have always been the one worshipped by all people, how could I possibly kneel before you?"

"Although I have not reigned for long, I am still a king, and there is no reason for me to kneel before other kings."

Unbeknownst to Xia Yan, three kings had gathered around him, and all of them immediately expressed their disdain for Agguiwen's words.

Agraven's forehead scar was clearly visible. Just as he was about to use words to suppress Xia Yan's momentum, the Lion King stood up from his throne.

"Agravin, there's no point in saying more; they are the enemy."

The Lion King summoned a pure white spear that radiated golden light from within; that was naturally the Holy Spear Rungomminiad.

"The holy city of Camelot only allows pure and kind people to enter. You are either purely evil or chaotic beings with both good and evil in you. You do not meet the requirements. Therefore, I will purge you."

After saying that, the Lion King thrust the Holy Lance forward, and a golden beam of light shot straight toward Xia Yan.

Despite the attack of the golden beam of light, Xia Yan was not nervous at all, because Morgan would intervene.

A giant spear radiating blue light descended from the sky, smashing through the roof of the hall before precisely blocking Xia Yan's path.

As the golden beam of light collided with the blue-glowing giant spear, Xia Yan's gaze remained fixed on the Lion King.

"What is good? What is evil? These are just your own opinions. It's not that pure good is evil. To say something like that, Lion King, your thinking is even more extreme than a binary system."

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to speak to my king like that!"

Before the enraged Agraven could even draw his sword, a thorny spear pierced his chest, the immense impact pinning him to the hall wall behind him.

"Who gave you the audacity to speak to my Master like that?"

Cú Chulainn glanced at Agravuren and then summoned back his thorn spear, leaving Agravuren to leave a huge bloody mark on the wall.

Cú Chulainn originally intended to finish off the black-armored knight, who was clearly unlikable. The reason he didn't hit Agraven's heart directly was because the Lion King used magic to interfere with the thorn spear during its flight, thus saving Agraven's life.

However, this outcome isn't necessarily bad; it's only right that the rude guy should suffer a bit more.

Turning his gaze away from Agravan, the Lion King replied to Xia Yan, "To judge good and evil, a set of standards is naturally needed. I am the goddess Rungomminiad, and my standards are beyond question."

"If reasoning fails, you resort to force? Sorry, but in my eyes, whether you're a god or a demon, you're no different from us humans. If reason prevails, we reason; if not, we resort to force. Morgan!"

Morgan, who had secretly been accumulating magical power, aimed her cross wand at the Lion King and then unleashed a magical compression cannon that was no less powerful than the one used to destroy Medusa.

Golden light began to rapidly condense. The Lion King raised his holy lance, and the golden magic cannon shot from the tip of the lance collided with Morgan's dark blue magic compression cannon, instantly creating a violent explosion.

boom!

Fortunately, Cú Chulainn reacted quickly, grabbing Xia Yan with one hand and Richard with the other, and escaped the hall before being affected by the energy wave from the explosion.

Only Osmandis did not move, but instead chose to defend with a magical barrier.

As the great Sun King, he would never do something like turn around and run away.

As Xia Yan escaped the hall, he saw the entire building explode from the inside. The energy of the explosion blew away all the dust that should have been generated, leaving a crater the size of a basketball court on the ground that could now be called the "former site of the hall".

The Lion King and Morgan stood at the edge of the pit, while Osmandis stood a little further away. None of the three had any external injuries.

However, the most striking thing was the wall behind the Lion King. While the other three walls were blasted into pieces and the ceiling was gone, that wall still stood firm and was not damaged at all.

It seems that the wall is well protected thanks to the magic of the Tower of the End behind it.

"Morgan, I remember you. You were my sister, yet you always tried to overthrow my rule, even going so far as to insert your own children into my round table, but you never succeeded."

"Although the Morgan you're talking about isn't the same person as me, the tone of your voice still really annoys me. Don't forget who seriously injured you in Camran; if someone hadn't failed to return the Holy Sword on time, you would have been dead long ago."

"What are you talking about? What holy sword? I've always only had the holy spear. Do you think you can sway me with lies of this magnitude?"

Morgan was taken aback for a moment by the Lion King's words, and then she gave him a very amused smile.

"I see. I almost forgot that Xia Yan told me you have the most tragic ending of all of Artoria's stories. But I think you're the most ridiculous one."

Faced with Morgan's sarcasm, the Lion King was simply confused. She didn't understand what Morgan was saying at all, but instinctively resisted trying to comprehend his words.

"I have issued a holy decree: you have no right to remain in Camelot. Disappear!"

The Lion King raised the Holy Lance, instantly teleported in front of Morgan, and unleashed a triple thrust at Morgan. Each strike contained magical power no less than that of a Noble Phantasm from an ordinary Servant.

Morgan had not anticipated that the Lion King would be so fast, and had no time to release a defensive spell. He could only cover his cross wand with magic to block.

Bang bang bang!

The immense impact sent Morgan's arm numbing, and the cross wand in his hand slipped from his grasp during the third impact.

"it's over!"

The Lion King pierced Morgan's body with a spear, but at the same time he realized something.

An intricate magic circle appeared beneath Morgan's feet, from which several chains shot out, binding the Lion King's joints tightly.

Just as the Lion King was still struggling desperately, the magic circle beneath his feet began to emit a dangerous red light. With a loud "boom," a small black cloud rose from where the Lion King was standing.

Morgan's true form floated in mid-air, looking down below.

Even though Morgan spoke of the Lion King with utmost contempt, she knew very well that her attack could only injure him, not kill him.

As the smoke cleared, the Lion King, his hair slightly disheveled, revealed an expression of "anger" for the first time.

"How dare this mere witch harm me, a goddess!"

The Lion King swung his spear to dispel the smoke around him, then raised the Holy Lance Rungomminiad high, from which a dazzling golden light shone.

The intact wall disappeared, and all that everyone saw was a hazy, endless wave.

Is this what the planet really looks like?

Even knowing the plot, Xia Yan was still deeply shocked by the scene before him.

However, more important than these issues is the overflowing magical energy emanating from the Lion King's body.
