To become a king and a magician

"Pshaw, why would I worry about that!"

After pursing her lips, Jeanne Alter was the first to turn around and run out.

Arthur also looked at the three remaining Knights of the Round Table beside him: "Just as Xia Chuan said, could you please help the ordinary people around here? Lord Gawain, Lord Lancelot, Lord Tristan."

"As ordered."

Lancelot and the other two nodded slightly.

"Then, my king...you..."

“You don’t need to worry about me.” Arthur patted his chest. “Now I have the Holy Grail of all three of you inside me, which means that the three of you have always been with me. So I will never repeat the same mistakes.”

My Holy Grail resides within my King!

The three Knights of the Round Table blushed slightly for a moment before rising to their feet.

"Then, may our king enjoy great military success."

"Well, let's go."

After watching the three Knights of the Round Table disappear from his sight, Arthur turned around and faced the pit where Vortigern was dwelling with Natsukawa Tora.

"Haa..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Natsukawa Tora said, "Didn't you realize I was asking you to come along? I can manage on my own here."

Arthur chuckled upon hearing this: "Really? I didn't recognize that."

After a moment of silence, Natsukawa Torama looked to the other side: "Then... Lia, you too?"

“No, I know very well that you want me to leave as well, Master.” Artoria shook her head. “However, no one says that Servants must obey their Masters, right? Even with Command Seals, I can withstand one or two.”

"Besides, my intuition tells me that you're planning to mess around again, Master. Since Gray isn't here, I'm the only one who can keep an eye on you in her place."

"Can't you have a little more faith in me...?"

Xia Chuanhu was somewhat helpless.

"Thump—!!"

The earthquake-like tremor came again at this moment, and in the bottomless abyss of Naraku, a huge black light suddenly rose from its depths!

The intense light, like a black sun, shot up from the depths of the abyss to a height of a thousand meters in an instant! The light was so intense and dark that Xia Chuanhu could barely open his eyes!

As the light faded, Xia Chuanhu and his two companions immediately saw the true form of the black light that had surged up from the abyss.

It was a black dragon.

It was completely black, so black that it seemed as if its entire body was shrouded in shadow, or as if it were a black dragon wearing a suit of black armor!

Its body length... must be at least 500 meters, right? From head to tail, it is definitely at least 500 meters long. The wings that spread out behind it look about the same, and may even be larger than its body. When the pitch-black wings are fully spread, the sky seems to be completely covered.

【Hole】.

For some reason, this impression came to Xia Chuanhu's mind.

At this moment, the jet-black dragon flying in the air is like a hole in the world itself, a bottomless abyss that will devour everything.

This is the dragon Voodoo.

The final device destined to destroy the island of Britain.

It is also the last and most powerful enemy in this sixth singularity.

“AAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr——————————————!!”

The dragon's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

32. Ultraman Arthur - Strong Type!

"That's Vortigern?"

Braving the storm and impact of the dragon's roar, and gazing up at the dark dragon in the sky, Xia Chuanhu placed his hand on the hilt of the holy sword at his waist—he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the holy sword seemed to be reacting, as if it were eager to try.

"I can sense magic power that completely surpasses that of the Demon God Pillar... It's probably even greater than my full power."

Originally, King Vortigern was one of the incarnations of the island of Britain. He was a doomsday device created to destroy the island of Britain. Its power was so great that it could even devour the light of the Holy Sword and turn the island of Britain into a dark paradise.

Even when Artoria and Gawain joined forces, they ultimately defeated and destroyed him only with the Holy Lance.

Now, having obtained the Holy Grail, Vortigern's power is undoubtedly far greater than it was in life; he is probably now—

“It has the equivalent of the total magical power of the entire island of Britain—that’s how you should look at Vortigern,” Arthur said. “Merlin… no, I should say Morgan, that’s what she told me.”

Arthur was not unaware of Morgan's disguise; after all, Morgan was a magician he had known for countless years. If he couldn't even see through the disguise, then it would truly be unacceptable.

Arthur didn't care what Morgan was trying to do by pretending to be Mary, since the most important thing at that time was to deal with Vortigern, and Morgan had no reason to lie.

And it is the same now.

The total amount of magic power equal to the entire island of Britain—this information from Arthur startled both Natsukawa Torama and Artoria. Neither of them had ever lacked magic power; Natsukawa Torama had his planet as a source of magical energy, while Artoria could draw magic power from him.

Even for these two individuals, the amount of magic power they can contain is limited. For example, Xia Chuanhu's upper limit is the god level—it may continue to increase in the future, but at least for now, that's the case.

However, Vortigern possessed magical power equivalent to the entire island of Britain.

"So, the gap between us and the enemy is enormous?" Artoria gripped the Holy Sword tightly. "But even so, we cannot retreat. If we don't defeat them, humanity has no future."

"Is that so, Master?"

Faced with a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, a temporary retreat is not a shameful thing; it can even be called a strategic retreat. After all, the enemy's strength far exceeds our own, and even if we escape, no one will blame us. After all, no one says we have to fight an invincible enemy.

Unfortunately, the three Holy Sword Wielders standing here are all stubborn types who don't understand what "completely unwinnable" really means.

Natsukawa Tora smiled and said, "Yes, that's how it is, so—let's go, together."

"Zheng————————!!"

A massive magic circle unfolded beneath Natsukawa Torato's feet, instantly enveloping all three of them.

This is a magic circle for a summoning ritual. Artoria recognizes it; if she uses summoning magic at this time, it means—

"Shall we use that move, Master?"

"After all, the opponent is so huge. To deal with a monster, you definitely need to use a giant, right?"

Colossal beings, dragon species, and destructive weapons—hostile elements confirmed.

A colossal being, an elven species, a weapon of salvation—element replication, element inversion. Summoning conditions confirmed. Using these three as a medium, construct the summoning ritual!

Under Arthur's somewhat puzzled and surprised gaze, Natsukawa Tora and Artoria intertwined their fingers.

"Open the gate to the Inner Sea of ​​Stars!"

"Countless spirits existing in the other world, answer my call and come forth! You are giants of light who support the sky and pave the way for the future! You are also crimson dragons that tear apart the earth and roar throughout the heavens!"

At the center of the enormous ritual array, which was over one hundred meters in diameter, a fountain of light suddenly erupted, engulfing both Natsukawa Tora and Artoria!

next moment--

"Zheng————————————!!"

Within the suddenly expanding pillar of light, a grotesque crimson armored arm shot out and swung forcefully as if to shatter the pillar of light, instantly breaking the pillar of light that shot straight into the sky into countless points of light!

Under the falling rain of light, a suit of armor, entirely crimson and shaped like a dragon, stood tall!

Summoning Magic, Spirit Summoning, Chain Dragon Summoning, Giant Spirit Armor—

Vortigern Special Armor: King Arthur!

It has reappeared after ten years!

"This is......"

Arthur stared in astonishment at the enormous dragon-man before him. If it was indeed that size, the battle with Vortigern would not have been as one-sided as it had been with him.

Before Arthur could do anything else, another beam of light rose from the magic circle, instantly engulfing him and transforming into a stream of light that flew towards the dragon armor's hand, ultimately forming a golden greatsword similar in shape to the Excalibur!

King Arthur Armament - True Dragon Vein Burning Type Weapon - Excalibur!

"This... Xia Chuan, what exactly is going on?"

The greatsword itself emitted a sound that Arthur found somewhat incredulous. For someone who had left the stage early ten years ago, everything that was happening now felt strange to him.

Within the consciousness realm inside the armor, just like ten years ago, floating naked in the Crimson Space as a consciousness entity, Natsukawa Tora explained, "Simply put, this is a magic trick where Artoria is the main body, and I transform myself into a giant armor."

Summoning magic is originally used to summon spirits and fairies. Since Natsukawa Tora is a spirit, he is naturally the target of the magic. As long as the subject is changed from the usual method of use, it is possible to achieve what we have now.

"As for your situation, Arthur... because in this state our Holy Sword is fused with us and has become a weapon for artillery fire, we can only let you serve as the Holy Sword in our hands."

"I see. So this way we can defeat Voodoo Geng?"

"At least I don't have to work myself to death to give you the blessing of flight and then use our toothpick holy swords to stab it—to deal with a huge monster, you have to fight with an equally huge giant."

"Leave the main battles to Lia. Arthur, you just need to focus on unleashing your magic power at all times. Leave the rest to me."

Artoria/Arthur: "Understood!"

"Then—let's go!"

"Go hunt dragons!"

33. Wake up Arthur

At Artoria's base, a full five kilometers away from the pitfall.

"Come in quickly! Hurry! It's dangerous outside!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka is helping ordinary people enter the town for refuge.

She had arrived at this singularity just minutes before. After arriving with Mash and Hinako Akuta, they immediately encountered Gawain, who was out searching for any casualties among Artoria's group.

After recognizing the shield held by Mash, Gawain knew that they were his comrades on his side. However, before they could return to the base and explain the situation to each other, the Reality Marble collapsed, and countless dragons appeared in various places, attacking ordinary people one after another.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu temporarily put aside their concerns about this singularity and began to focus on helping the Knights of the Round Table rescue refugees and fight against the Dragon Plague.

"Seriously... what on earth is this singularity all about?"

Gasping for breath, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the horde of dragons that showed no signs of decreasing or stopping and wiped the sweat from her brow: "Even in the First Singularity, I've never encountered anything like this."

“Not only that, Master.” Mash raised her shield and smashed away several attacking dragons, saying seriously, “They are all bipedal dragons, but the bipedal dragons in this singularity are much stronger than those in the first singularity, and they are not easy to deal with.”

Although Mash has become much stronger than she was in the First Singularity, her use of Galahad's power is definitely much more powerful now.
