Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Dungeon: Holy Round Table Realm Camelot (3)

[Using skill Giant's Right Arm]

[Using skill Crushing Fist]

[Using skill Gale's Path]

[Activating skill Black Flash]

In an instant, with an arm grown as large as a giant and wrapped in a darkly glowing aura, I charged like a gale and swung the Crushing Fist, causing hundreds of Knights of the Round Table to burst apart all at once.

"I'll buy you time, so everyone run!"

"Th-thank you!!"

The people who heard my words urgently began to flee from the main gate, and the Knights of the Round Table tried to chase after them, but

"Where do you think you're going!!!"

"It's not fair to leave us out!!!"

Dozens of shadow clones summoned in an instant dealt with those knights, buying time.

"Ha!"

While me and my clones were slaughtering the knights, Gawain suddenly attacked me with his Noble Phantasm, Excalibur Galatine, but to me, who had activated Gale's Path, it was far too slow, so I easily dodged.

"With that speed, do you think you can hit me? Sun Knight Gawain."

"You bastard!"

After that, Gawain continued to attack, but his strikes didn't reach me.

"Grh! What! My sword isn't hitting!?"

With Muhāhan activated, his sword couldn't touch me. No matter how much he swung that sword, it couldn't penetrate Muhāhan.

Ting!

"Whoa! A sneak attack?"

As I jumped into the air, an invisible blade of sound passed through the spot where I had been just moments ago.

"Sound... so it's Tristan, the Child of Lamentation?"

Since the only one capable of such an attack was Tristan, I suspected it was him, and right on cue, Tristan walked out from the direction of the holy city and spoke.

"...It's the king's order... to execute you right here and now..."

"Ah~ Is that so?"

I chuckled at his words and then, blowing a raspberry, said,

"Can you tell your king something for me? Tell him to go eat shit!"

"You bastard! How dare you! Such blasphemy!!"

"What are you gonna do about it, potato gorilla! I wasn't talking to you, so buzz off."

After saying that, I quickly pulled out my Noble Phantasm, Flame Dragon Slaying Sword.

"Hey! You guys deal with that idiot over there who spouts nonsense about the king not understanding human hearts! I'll take care of this sun gorilla."

""""Understood!!!!""""

The clones that had some leeway began to engage Tristan, and I, pulling out my Noble Phantasm Flame Dragon Slaying Sword from my inventory, immediately took a stance.

[Noble Phantasm: Flame Dragon Slaying Sword roars as it gazes at the enemy before it.]

[Activating skill Camael.]

[Activating skill Flame Breathing.]

[Activating skill Gale's Path.]

[Activating skill Blade Dance.]

"Flame Breathing! First Form: Unknowing Fire!!"

Immediately, I charged at Gawain at high speed and swung the Flame Dragon Slaying Sword wreathed in Camael's flames. Gawain barely reacted to the speed and blocked with Excalibur Galatine, but was sent flying all the way to the wall of the holy city.

"Full Body Transformation Samadhi!!!"

And seizing that opportunity, one clone instantly transformed into a flame serpent, grabbed Gawain, and spewed fire.

"Just... with this level of attack!!!"

However, Gawain was currently under the effect of the Saint's Number, so the attack wasn't very effective, and soon that clone was torn apart by Gawain and disappeared.

"Do you think you can defeat me with just this!!"

"Yeah, it's possible."

To be honest, there are plenty of ways to slaughter that gorilla bastard, but I have no intention of killing him right now, and pretending to be dead and escaping seems...

"This sword is the manifestation of the sun. The mirage of flames that purges all impurity!"

...Change of plans, no pretending to be dead.

Then, Gawain threw Galatine into the sky, summoning a pseudo-sun, and at the same time, a sun magic circle formed beneath his feet.

"Excalibur Galatine! (The Sword of Victory that Turns the Wheel!)"

Just as the flaming slash meant to incinerate me was about to completely engulf me,

"...Full... Counter!!!!!"

[Activating skill Full Counter.]

Ting!!!!

With that sound, the flaming slash that was about to engulf me instead engulfed the holy city, Gawain, and Tristan.

"Cough!! Cough... Grh... This... I let my guard down..."

"Grh... What is this... did you reflect my Excalibur Galatine!?"

From that attack, Tristan was effectively incapacitated, Gawain endured thanks to the Saint's Number, and the holy city, with its magical barrier surrounding the castle that had defense capable of withstanding ten shots from a great war cannon far surpassing a great Noble Phantasm, easily withstood this attack.

'Tch... For now, let's get out of here!'

I quickly scanned my surroundings and immediately opened an Aurora Curtain to move as far as possible from the holy city. Then, letting out a sigh of relief, I wiped the sweat beading on my forehead.

"By the way, what happens after this? It's been so long since I cleared it that my memory is fuzzy... what was it..."

Kwaaaaaang!!!!

"Ah! Right, Da Vinci self-destructs to stop Lancelot... damn it!!!"

I urgently opened an Aurora Curtain and went inside,

"...What are you guys doing?"

I was baffled, thinking what kind of stupid situation is this where Lancelot (enemy) is shielding Da Vinci (ally)?, then I remembered that in the original, he said he saved Da Vinci because "she was a great beauty, so he unconsciously protected her."

"This lower-body berserker still hasn't come to his senses!!!"

"Wait! Just who are you—"

I immediately rushed towards our still-unconscious lower-body berserker and stomped on his crotch.

Crunch!

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!"

Then, the lower-body berserker's scream of pain echoed through the desert.

[The Fable 'Neutralization Emperor' plays a festive tune!]
