Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

"Oh no, I forgot to tell them that no one who enters the Holy City ever comes out; we don't know if they're alive or dead!"

"Why do I have a feeling you're doing this on purpose?"

"You've discovered it. Both of them are carrying enormous responsibilities. They might be friends, or they might be enemies!"

Arash's eyes deepened, and he became very curious about the situation inside the Holy City.

Tonight might be the day the mystery is solved.

Mo Li and Bedivere went to a dark corner and changed into refugee cloaks.

Their clothing was too conspicuous, and given that Bedivere was a Knight of the Round Table and easily recognizable, they had to disguise themselves.

"Damn it, if I could use a fake witch, why would I need all this trouble?"

"Lord Mo Li, I can actually go by myself, there's no need for you to..."

Mo Li raised a hand to stop Bedwell from continuing; no one could stop him from making a decision.

Moreover, he had a compelling reason to go: the source of divine power lay within this holy city.

If we use that power, we might be able to open a dimensional portal and return to our original world.

"No need to say anything, I'll go with you!"

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'. You should take care of yourself. Hasn't your body already reached its limit?"

Bedwell remained silent. He was well aware of his situation, but he also had reasons why he had to go.

If it weren't for Mo Li's fourth bullet last time, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Mo Li!"

"You don't need to apologize to me, just follow your heart!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Bedivere lowered his head and looked at his hands.

"Can I... really do it?"

Chapter 458 Reencounter with Gudako, Gawain the Sun Knight

With some time still remaining before nightfall, Mo Li took out the Whispering Scroll and searched the Holy Capital.

The final conclusion was that the Holy Grail was not in the Lion King's hands.

Furthermore, the refugees' reports of another Western power made the situation even more unpredictable; they might even have to venture into the Sun King's territory.

Mo Li completely concealed his figure with his cloak, leaned against the wall, and pondered his plan to enter the Holy Capital.

The setting sun painted the sky red, and night gradually fell.

Mo Li and Bedivere mingled in the refugee line, slowly walking towards the gates of the Holy City.

The closer Mo Li got to the Holy Capital, the more he could sense the presence of divine power.

At the same time, he also discovered Gudako and Mashu hiding in the crowd, but now is not the time to meet them.

After all, Gudako also possesses the attributes of a hero, which doesn't really suit him.

With a click, the door slowly opened.

Two righteous knights emerged from inside. Although their spiritual level was not at the level of a Servant, they were more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.

"Bedwell, do you really think the Lion King of today is still the same king you know?"

"I am one of the Knights of the Round Table, and my loyalty to King Arthur will never change, but..."

Bedivere lowered his head, feeling lost. As a Knight of the Round Table, he was supposed to be loyal to the King, but looking at the refugees scattered across the ground, he realized that the culprit was the very King to whom he had pledged his loyalty.

Following the crowd, after climbing a long flight of stairs, everyone arrived at a circular area.

Mo Li raised his head and sensed an unusual spiritual foundation, with the aura of a deity becoming increasingly intense.

"If your opponent were a Knight of the Round Table, Bedivere, would you choose to intervene?"

"I...I don't know...!"

"That makes sense. It's a bit too cruel for you. Alright, I'll deal with those Knights of the Round Table!"

"Lord Mo Li..."

Bedwell looked up, a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but he shook his head.

“I know that Lord Moli has more important things to do, so I will protect you. Although my loyalty has been given to the King, this sword will now be wielded for you, my Master!”

Mo Li snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the so-called chivalrous spirit.

He is the all-powerful demon king, and he will show no mercy even to enemies who were once his followers.

"welcome……!"

The knight standing on the high platform spoke, saying that the level of his spirit origin was frighteningly high.

At the same time, Mo Li also recognized that the person standing in front of everyone was none other than the Sun Knight Gawain.

"To the participants in the Holy Bachelor, I am Gawain, a member of the Knights of the Round Table."

The moment he spoke, the pitch-black night instantly turned into daylight, with the sun high in the sky.

This situation also caused panic among the refugees, who began to whisper among themselves.

"What's going on here?"

"The sun rose without us even noticing?"

"What on earth is going on? It was still dark just a moment ago?"

Gao Wen stepped forward and said loudly:

"Please calm down. This is a miracle brought about by the Lion King. This is a blessing bestowed upon me by my king, called the Nightless City."

Nightless City, as long as Gawain is on the battlefield, is always noon.

Combined with his innate skill [Sage's Number], Gawain is well enough to secure a place among the Knights of the Round Table.

"Our holy city, Camelot, is a perfect, pure white kingdom that has existed for millennia. Pass through this main gate, and an ideal world awaits you inside."

As soon as Gao Wen finished speaking, the refugees cheered and jumped for joy.

Only Mo Li and Gudako's group frowned. This so-called Holy Ritual was actually the Lion King's Judgment. All the talk of an ideal world was just a lie.

"Please ask for the king's forgiveness."

Mo Li looked up and saw a knight in white armor and a silver helmet appear before them on the city wall of the Holy Capital. The divine power emanated from her.

"The Lion King... Artoria!"

Mo Li's face was gloomy. Now that he had lost most of his abilities, he didn't know if he could win.

The Lion King said in a very cold tone:

"There are not many who can lead us to the farthest places. Humanity is bound by the chain of fate, which is why there is this selection process to choose those souls that will never be defiled and those souls that will never be swayed by evil."

A golden light emanated from the Lion King's hand, followed by three beams of light shining from the crowd.

"The Saint-Examination is complete. We'll just bring these three into the city and retrieve them, Gao Wenqing!"

After saying this, the Lion King turned and descended the city wall.

Gawain gave a knightly salute in the direction of the Lion King, then turned to face the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that this is also... to ensure the continuation of humanity..."

"Now... the Holy Punishment begins!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than thousands of arrows rained down from above the city walls, and the refugees instantly fell into pools of blood.

Mo Li cursed under his breath and quickly pulled Bedivere to a blind spot where the arrows couldn't reach.

"Lord Mo Li..."

"Looks like we can't get in today. Let's figure out a way to escape first!"

"Yes, please follow behind me, Master!"

"Wait a minute, someone has already made a move!"

Mo Li grabbed Bedwell, who was about to rush out, and hid the two of them.

Mash placed her large shield in front of everyone, temporarily blocking the incoming arrows.

The righteous knights stationed at the gate, seeing someone trying to obstruct the holy punishment, rushed forward with their greatswords.

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu, wielding a large shield, protected Gudako behind her and knocked the attacking Righteous Knight to the ground.

"Those Holy City Knights never intended for us to leave 070 from the start. Let's retreat, Ritsuka!"

"Mash, create a breakthrough for everyone!"

After saving humanity several times, Gudako has matured and is no longer as clumsy as before.

Now, she is skilled at using magic tricks and dealing with various emergencies.

With Gudako's help, Mashu defeated the attacking Knights of the Righteousness one by one and saved many refugees.

Just as Bedivere, who was watching from the sidelines, was about to step forward to help, Mo Li stopped him.

"Don't go there!"

"But they alone cannot stand against Gao Wenqing."

"I'll take action then, so it's best if you don't reveal your identity to them for now!"

Bedivere's mission is to retrieve the lost holy sword, and the Knights of the Round Table will fight desperately to stop him. It would be better if he didn't show up, but if he does, it will be a certain death for him.

Moreover, Mo Li noticed that other people were helping them.

"The enemy knight has been defeated, senior!"

"You should also break through from the west side; we should still make it in time if we go that way!"

Dr. Roman's voice came from his wrist: "Judging from the current situation, the western side 64460 has the best chance of breaking through and leaving."

"That's not allowed. Until the end of the Holy Bachelor's Day celebrations, no matter who you are, you can't go back to your past life. Be prepared!"

Gawain slowly drew the sword from his waist and aimed it at Mash in front of him.

Chapter 459 Mo Li Makes His Move, the Divergence Among the Knights of the Round Table

"As long as the sun shines, my power receives the blessing of the saint, and you have no chance of winning."

“You could have escaped on your own, but you chose to rescue a child and enter enemy territory. Since you have made such a decision, I should give you a battle that is worth fighting!”

Gawain raised his holy sword high and slashed at Mash's great shield.

During the day, Gawain has a triple buff effect, making him practically invincible.

In less than five rounds, Mash was knocked to the ground by Gawain.

Even with Leonardo da Vinci by his side, he was no match for Gawain, who defeated da Vinci with a single blow.

"Damn it, the attack is completely ineffective!"

"And it seems he's holding back; it looks like he never intended to use his Noble Phantasm."

Gao Wen simply smiled at this, considering himself no match for these people.

Mo Li, who was hiding to the side, also noticed something was wrong. Mashu seemed to be acting strangely. She wasn't taking the fight seriously at all and was acting timidly, as if she was afraid of something.

Mashu, who has experienced countless life-or-death battles, would never make such a basic mistake.

In other words, is it Galahad's will, which is intertwined with her, that is at work?

Galahad, also a Knight of the Round Table, must be experiencing the same complex emotions as Bedivere.

"Gawain! Why would the Knights of the Round Table do such a thing?"

Gudako suddenly stood in front of Mashu, facing Gawain's sword tip directly.

“I wouldn’t normally need to explain this, but if it’s a question about standing up for women and risking my own safety, I can’t not answer it!”

Gawain seemed to appreciate Gudako's courage in stepping forward and temporarily withdrew his holy sword.

"Master from a foreign land, what is your name?"
