Chapter 331 Fujimaru Ritsuka, who listens to everything she says
"Attack the Holy City now!? That's definitely not going to work!?"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan and Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan, Mashu was completely taken aback, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "Are you guys kidding me?"
They had just returned from the Holy City, and Gawain had single-handedly defeated them all, leaving them unable to lift their heads. Under these circumstances, it was only natural to first gather enough fighting power.
Their original plan was to first establish good relations with the Hassans of the Mountain People and gain their help before dividing and conquering the Knights of the Round Table.
To everyone's surprise, Fujimaru Ritsuka only spent a short time alone with Qin Chuan before suddenly announcing that they were going to attack the Holy City right now. Mashu was naturally quite frightened when she heard this.
"Ah ha ha……"
After revealing the plan, Fujimaru Ritsuka realized the impact it would have on others and awkwardly scratched his head.
In fact, after calming down and thinking about it, Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt that the plan was a bit too radical and that they shouldn't have taken action against the Holy City so quickly.
However, since Qin Chuan seemed very confident just now, Fujimaru Ritsuka was unconsciously influenced by him and agreed almost without thinking.
"Seriously, Ritsuka is really captivated by Mr. Qin Chuan in 07."
Da Vinci, sitting beside him, understood perfectly well that Fujimaru Ritsuka's sudden proposal was entirely due to her trust in Qin Chuan.
Although she admitted that Qin Chuan was definitely very strong, and she could feel the pressure just by being around him, the fact that he could break through the Holy City all by himself was still a bit beyond her imagination.
In the past, Fujimaru Ritsuka would trust the Heroic Spirits at various singularities, but she had never been so blindly devoted to Qin Chuan as she was this time.
Da Vinci even suspected that Qin Chuan might possess some kind of passive charm-related skill.
Qin Chuan had no idea what Leonardo da Vinci was thinking, but if she did, she would probably have exclaimed in admiration—she had actually guessed correctly.
Qin Chuan does indeed possess charm-related abilities, specifically the "Love's Mark" he obtained after absorbing Diarmuid.
Of course, since these passive skills were absorbed by the "Black Bird," they have also been transformed into active skills. As long as Qin Chuan does not use them actively, the abilities will not be displayed.
At least Qin Chuan hasn't used the "Love Mole" yet—there's really no need for it, and few of the girls he's met so far have any hostility towards him.
"What is Bedivere thinking?"
Although Da Vinci and Mashu didn't seem to approve of the plan, Qin Chuan didn't care. Instead, he looked at Bedivere, who hadn't said a word.
In fact, the most important part of this plan is Bedivere—in a sense, he is also one of the culprits behind the formation of this singularity.
In the original legend, King Arthur, on his deathbed, would have Bedivere return the sword to the lake—only then, without the sword's protection, could King Arthur die.
Even in the correct historical account, Bedivere hesitated twice before returning the sword, only doing so on the third time, which led to King Arthur's eternal slumber.
But Bedivere hesitated on the third attempt in this singularity—he did not return the sword, and King Arthur did not die as the correct historical account suggests.
The King Arthur who did not die was corrupted by the "Holy Lance" Rungomminiad, which he wielded, and became the current "Lion King", the master of the Holy City.
Therefore, to resolve this singularity, we must breach the Holy City and force Bedivere to return the Holy Sword to the Lion King, allowing him to die as "King Arthur" rather than "The Lion King."
"I……"
Bedivere was clearly taken aback when Qin Chuan suddenly turned the topic to him, and was immediately stunned.
From Qin Chuan's gaze, Bedivere realized that Qin Chuan had seen through his situation, and there was no point in hiding it anymore.
……
"...So that's how the Lion King was born?"
Although the Chaldea group had already made some guesses about the Lion King's original identity when they saw that the guards of the Holy City were Knights of the Round Table.
However, through Bedivere's explanation, everyone understood why King Arthur had become the Lion King—because she had been corrupted by the Holy Lance, becoming a goddess and losing her former identity.
"So actually, solving this singularity is quite simple: just break through the Holy City and get in."
Seeing that everyone understood the truth about The Lion King, Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"Well, Bedivere, you're a crucial part of this plan, so we need to get your opinion."
As he spoke, Qin Chuan looked at Bedivere's right arm—his right arm had been completely replaced by silver metal, transforming into a silver arm.
The true form of the "Silver Arm" is actually Merlin's creation of the holy sword "Excalibur," so Bedivere can return the holy sword to the Lion King if she can reach him.
"It's easy to say. If we could take over the Holy City so easily, we wouldn't have come to the Mountain People for help."
Da Vinci looked at Qin Chuan with some annoyance. If they had this level of strength, dealing with singularities wouldn't have been so difficult in the past.
"So in the end, it's still about the issue of combat strength."
Although Leonardo da Vinci's words sounded like a complaint, it was clear that her opinion had softened somewhat.
Once we know that the key to resolving the singularity lies in Bedivere returning the Holy Sword, the path has essentially been paved.
All they needed was a car called "Powerful Combat Capability" to speed along the paved road.
Qin Chuan knew that this was the time for him to step in—in the original story, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were running around and busy, but in essence, they were trying to gather as much fighting power as possible.
Hassan of the Mountain People, Ramses II, and various wandering spirits... all of them were there to gather enough strength to breach the Holy City.
Qin Chuan alone can solve this problem.
"Since you're just sitting here anyway, why don't you come with me to the Holy City? If you think I can't do it, you can always turn back."
Qin Chuan smiled and addressed the group, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka—the Chaldea group was ultimately centered around Fujimaru Ritsuka, their "last Master."
"How is it, Ritsuka?"
Seeing Qin Chuan looking at her, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded almost without thinking.
"Senior..."
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka nod after being glanced at by Qin Chuan, Mashu couldn't help but facepalm, feeling somewhat helpless.
She felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka completely lost her judgment in front of Qin Chuan, and only knew how to agree to Qin Chuan's requests.
No wonder Leonardo da Vinci wondered if Fujimaru Ritsuka was under a spell.
Chapter 332 Qin Chuan's Punch
“You weren’t like yourself last night when you were facing those otherworldly beings, Gawain.”
In the Holy City, Agravan looked at Gawain with a somewhat serious expression.
When faced with people from another world—the Chaldea group—Gawain displayed a completely different kind of maniac, relentlessly pursuing the orange-haired girl.
His terrifying performance made Agravain suspect that Gawain had turned into a Berserker and gained the ability to go berserk.
Of course, after the Chaldea group fled in panic, Gawain returned to calm, but no one in the city knew why Gawain had gone mad.
"That person carried the aura of the shadowy figure that attacked me before."
Gawain used only one simple sentence to make Agguwen understand the reason.
Two days ago, a dark figure rode on lightning into the Holy City, crushed Gawain, devoured half of his body, and then left.
That humiliating defeat haunted Gawain. Even though the Lion King didn't blame him for it, he still remembered the presence of that figure that caused him so much pain.
Today, after the holy exorcism, he sensed the same aura emanating from a girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka in the crowd, and naturally lost control of his emotions, launching a frenzied attack on her.
"Having a goal is a good thing, but losing your mind will dull your sword."
Of course, while he could express his understanding, Agguwen did not support Gawain's actions.
Gawain is one of the strongest Knights of the Round Table right now. If his actions are completely dominated by his emotions and he fails to unleash his full potential, it would be a disaster for the Holy City.
"……I see."
Gawain also fell silent for a moment, without refuting Agguiwen's words.
Although he knew it wasn't good to be controlled by his emotions, who could guarantee they could stay rational if they actually encountered such a situation?
Today's purification ritual ended in failure due to the interference of the Chaldea group—but because Gawain reported on the aura of the black figure, the Lion King did not punish him.
Otherwise, given the Lion King's past severity, Gawain would certainly have been severely injured as punishment today.
The fact that the Lion King was willing to waive punishment shows that the presence of that black figure was something the Lion King was quite wary of—after all, being able to infiltrate the Holy City so silently was certainly something to be wary of.
Just as Gawain stepped out of the palace, preparing to continue his patrol of the surrounding area, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Gawain, you look terrible."
Mordred's loud, carefree voice reached Gawain's ears across the street, making his already bad mood even worse.
He looked at Mordred, who was walking over, and said helplessly:
"Mordred, you are allowed to enter the Holy City during the day, but you must at least maintain the etiquette due to a knight."
Mordred received the Lion King's blessing of "running wild," but was ordered by the Lion King not to stay in the Holy City at night and to keep watch outside.
According to The Lion King, this is because of Mordred's wild nature; she can only unleash her full potential in the wild.
But in Gawain's view, Mordred's most unusual trait as a Knight of the Round Table was her disobedient and unruly personality—which is why most of the other Knights of the Round Table didn't get along well with her.
"Never mind that, I have a very important discovery to make."
Sure enough, Mordred wouldn't listen to reason and paid no attention to Gawain's advice. Instead, she laughed and started talking about her discovery.
"I've found the Mountain People's stronghold. Gawain, do you want to come with me and vent your anger?"
"...I won't go, you go by yourself."
Gawain was speechless. Clearing out the mountain people was Mordred's task; what did it have to do with him?
He only wanted to faithfully carry out the Lion King's orders and guard the Holy City well to prevent a repeat of the last incident.
Speaking of which, the last time I was ambushed by that black figure, it was when I met Mordred in the square. Now that I've met her again, could the same thing happen again?
Thinking this, Gawain shook his head again—how could that be? Mordred's blessing was "rage," not "ominous," so how could he possibly have bad luck every time he encountered her...
boom!
The thought had barely crossed my mind when a loud bang came from afar—it came from the gates of the Holy City!
"what's the situation!?"
Gawain's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked towards the direction of the Holy City's gate, where he saw...
A massive golden sailing ship sailed over the gates of the holy city and crashed straight into the city's barrier with a deafening roar.
The deafening roar was like a thunderclap in a clear sky; everyone in the holy city heard it, and even the Lion King must have been alarmed.
"What it is?"
Mordred stared wide-eyed at the golden sailboat in the sky and couldn't help but scream.
The only saving grace was that although the golden ship crashed hard into the barrier of the holy city, it did not break through the barrier.
After all, the barrier surrounding this holy city was erected by the Lion King using the Holy Lance, and even a Noble Phantasm cannot easily penetrate it.
Although they didn't know why the lightning last time was able to penetrate into the Holy City, this time the golden ship was undoubtedly blocked by the barrier.
……
"Wow! What a waste! This is the golden spaceship 'Vimana' described in the Ramayana!"
On the golden sailing ship, Leonardo da Vinci looked pained—as a researcher, she cared a great deal about such a rare treasure.
The golden sailing ship beneath their feet was the Vimana, the golden spaceship that Qin Chuan had taken from the "King's Treasure".
In the original story of Fate/Zero, Gilgamesh rode this thing in an aerial battle against Berserker Lancelot.
Now that Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon" belongs to him, this spaceship naturally becomes Qin Chuan's property as well.
Since it wasn't his own, Qin Chuan used it without any pressure, directly taking it out to ram into the Holy City's barrier and see if he could break through it.
But the result was obviously not good. The Lion King had completed her transformation from a human to a goddess, and the barrier she created could not be directly destroyed by an unreleased Noble Phantasm.
"What's there to regret? They couldn't even break through a barrier."
Standing at the bow of the Vimana ship, Qin Chuan looked at the barrier of the Holy City—although the impact had caused ripples in the barrier, it had not been broken.
"Since that's the case... no."
Seeing that the barrier was more solid than he had imagined, Qin Chuan no longer held back.
He leaped off the bow of Vimana's ship, then spun in mid-air, gathering his "qi" in his right fist.
Then, he swung his fist down at the barrier with the force of a heavy hammer!
