"Ugh! What is this feeling?!"
Mordred, who had been advancing with the others and had just sliced through a Magecraft Tome, suddenly frowned.
She clutched her chest, a stinging sensation constantly rising. It reminded her of the time, when she was still mortal, that her father's Holy Lance had pierced her.
"What's wrong?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward to support Mordred and asked.
But Mordred waved them off. She glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "I need to go up and see. I can feel something up there pulling me!"
With that, Mordred turned and ran back. Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened. Is she abandoning us in battle?
Before they could say anything more, Mo Shuying's figure rushed over.
"Where's Little Mo?"
Mo Shuying sped over, scanned the area, and, not seeing Mordred, immediately asked.
"She just said something she cared about seemed to appear on the ground, and she ran back," Fujimaru Ritsuka replied. Mo Shuying frowned.
"Something she cares about? Could it really be her mom? Oh, right, Mash! Take this!"
Puzzled, Mo Shuying pulled out a Holy Grail and tossed it to Mash. Mash was momentarily stunned, then fumbled to catch it, but upon seeing the two fragments of a Holy Grail in their hands, they froze.
"The Holy Grail has been recovered. Don't worry, the Holy Grail is just a Mana crystallization now. Even if it breaks, it will heal. Nothing will happen. We should hurry back and see what's happening on the ground."
Mo Shuying said. Mash nodded, half-believing, half-doubting, and then everyone quickly returned.
On the ground at this moment.
"…"
The Black Armored Knight rode slowly on its horse, like a monarch surveying the land. It looked around and then saw Karna and Tesla, who were no longer fighting.
"Your friend?"
Karna turned to Tesla and asked.
Tesla shrugged.
"Though I don't want to admit it, she and I were indeed summoned by the same person. However, my summoner seems to have died. Sigh… What a pity. He didn't even get to call out my divine name in front of me. He must have died a rather stifled death."
Tesla shook his head and sighed. Although Karna felt this sounded like bragging, one thing Tesla said was true:
His summoner really did die a stifled death.
"You, upon seeing this King, why do you not kneel?"
At this moment, a cold, noble voice suddenly rang out. Karna and Tesla both froze simultaneously, turning to look at the Black Armored Knight (who was actually a Lancer Class), their expressions not looking too good.
"What did you just say? Make me, a god, kneel?"
"No one but Brahma can make me bow."
The Black Armored Knight's single sentence angered two people. Tesla, affected by his Mad Enhancement, felt his anger rapidly rising. He wasn't the type to think, [Because you're my teammate, I won't fight you].
The Black Armored Knight seemed oblivious to this. It raised its long spear, pointed it at the two, and continued, "Insolent ones, you are offending the King's majesty. This King will give you one more chance: kneel, or die."
As soon as the Black Armored Knight finished speaking.
"Impudent!"
*"Boom!"*
Tesla struck first, raising his hand, and a powerful bolt of lightning blasted towards the Black Armored Knight.
*"Clang!"*
The Black Armored Knight pointed its long spear, and a strange spiraling force condensed on the spear, directly shattering the lightning.
Tesla crackled with electricity. His body ascended, pulled by electromagnetic forces, and he looked at the Black Armored Knight, his tone majestic.
"Just a mere king, a failed king! Yet you dare to disrespect a god. Haven't you heard the phrase 'divine right of kings'?!"
Clearly, Tesla had recognized the Black Armored Knight's identity. It was simply too easy to recognize. The white-maned black horse, Lamrei, was King Arthur's mount. Though the black long spear was somewhat altered, its fundamental power hadn't changed much. The only one who could possess such a Holy Lance, besides the King who wielded both the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance, was none other than her.
Therefore, this Black Armored Knight was King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, summoned as a Lancer Class.
On a side note, the Lancer Class Black Lancer Alter is quite prominent in some ways among all the Artoria variants. She is no longer truly King Arthur but a deified Artoria. Her re-grown physique would make even Saber Artoria weep.
"Your words and actions have completely enraged this King. It seems you are prepared to die."
Black Lancer Alter raised her spear, and a spiraling light shimmered on its shaft. Tesla raised both his hands, a proud smile on his face. After a moment's pause, both launched their attacks simultaneously!
"Hya!"
Black Lancer Alter squeezed her horse's flanks, and the pitch-black warhorse beneath her charged forward, hooves trampling the air! True to its nature as a Heroic Spirit warhorse, though not comparable to a true Phantasmal Beast, it possessed immense power.
"Lightning!"
Tesla waved both hands forward! A massive amount of lightning fell, as if a divine punishment had descended.
As a figure of human mythology, Tesla truly didn't hold any king in high regard!
"Crush them!"
*Boom!*
Black Lancer Alter thrust her lance, and a spiral of light shattered the lightning. The Holy Lance released a light that enveloped Black Lancer Alter and her black horse. This was the power known as Protection of the End, which could increase Black Lancer Alter's Luck and Mana, making her Mana Burst even more powerful!
"For those who scorn royal authority! Exterminate them!"
Black Lancer Alter charged forward through the lightning, seemingly not bothered by the terrifying bolts at all. Tesla's expression grew somewhat grim. He already knew that this king before him was an opponent no weaker than Karna.
"It seems the god is getting serious."
Tesla raised a hand, and suddenly a ring of lightning condensed in his palm! The terrifying lightning almost tore apart the surrounding space!
When Black Lancer Alter saw this, the light on her Holy Lance instantly grew even more dazzling! A Noble Phantasm, huh!
Who doesn't have one?!
"Rhongomyniad!!"
"Human Mythology: Lightning Descent!!"
"Brahma, Curse My Body!!"
"?!?"
"!??"
Little Sun: "Who says I don't have a Noble Phantasm?!!"
*Boom!* x3!
In an instant, energy blasts! Lightning! And flames struck simultaneously! Although it seemed none of the three were using their full power, the effect this time was devastating!
*Boom!*
Terrifying power converged from three directions, but because of Little Sun's intervention, the force was ultimately diverted from its original path. The three powers merged into one and flew towards an area outside London. It was unclear where that place was, but the next second, it was engulfed by the destructive wave!
*Rumble!*
This power was comparable to a nuclear bomb. The destructive force expanded radially outwards, finally disappearing into the void. One could imagine that if this power had erupted within London, this Singularity could have vanished prematurely.
At the same time.
Mordred, who had just burst out of the ground, witnessed this scene. More precisely, she saw the person riding the black horse in the sky!
"Father! Father!"
