"Defeating Uma Musume with a Human Body"

Chapter Six: The Sun Knight, The Revolving Sword of Victory

However, this chaotic escape only made the scene more chaotic. Many people fell to the ground and were trampled by other refugees. People wanted to escape, but the exits were tightly closed, and standing there were the righteous knights holding sharp swords.

Looking at the increasingly chaotic crowd, Gao Wen shook his head helplessly.

He was naturally distressed by the scene, but his loyalty to the king ultimately prevailed.

As the knight who followed the king the longest, Gawain vowed to follow the king as a more perfect knight in order to correct his regret and mistakes of "causing the king's destruction" in his previous life.

Gawain's biggest regret was his conflict with Lancelot.

Because his brother was killed by Lancelot, and even the king's wife was abducted by him, Gawain considered it utterly unforgivable.

However, King Arthur forgave Lancelot and even said it was all his fault, but Gawain did not forgive Lancelot's betrayal and continued to oppose him until the end.

Gawain still refused Lancelot, who rushed to Camlann Hill even after being expelled, resulting in the death of the king and his own death at Lancelot's hands.

Because of this ending, Gawain, who became a Heroic Spirit, understood 'assisting the monarch to the very end' as his absolute mission.

Just as he was a self-disciplined and self-restrained king on Camlann Hill, Gawain also cried out countless times in the abyss of death.

"If...if there is a next time...if there is a chance to turn back, a second life, this time, I will dedicate my entire being to the King—"

This time, he will steadfastly follow in the king's footsteps, wield his sword for the king, fight for the king, and die for the king.

Tristan, who was in charge of this "Saintly Eradication" along with Gawain, wore a sorrowful expression, gripped his bow tightly, and remained silent.

Just then, both Knights of the Round Table looked up at the sky in surprise.

Unimaginable magic transformed into a hurricane, flowing above the circular plaza, and the arrows shot by the archers on the city walls were now being swept up by the flowing gale.

"This is……"

Gao Wen frowned, already sensing that something was amiss.

At this moment, Tristan also exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the Chaldea people have infiltrated as well?"

Upon hearing Tristan's words, Gawain immediately gripped the hilt of his sword.

"The Chaldeans..."

Bang————!

The gate, which served as the exit, was forcibly breached and reduced to dust with a loud bang.

Standing there was the red-haired boy who had left a deep impression on Tristan.

“Gawain, that person’s strength should not be underestimated,” Tristan warned.

"oh, I understand now."

Gawain nodded.

He could also sense the boy's strength.

But he was a knight, and he would not be intimidated by the strength of his enemy.

At this moment, the desperate people fleeing had already left, driven by their will to survive, as the city gates opened wide.

The Knights of the Righteousness, who were stationed at the gate to prevent the refugees from escaping, had just drawn their swords when they were stopped by Mashu and Da Vinci.

Meanwhile, the other Knights of the Righteousness were blocked as Shirou projected his swords, spears, and halberds.

Gawain looked at Shirou with a stern gaze.

"No matter who you are, I will not let anyone stand in my way until the 'Holy Ba' is over!"

Once these Chaldea people are dealt with, the refugees fleeing on foot will naturally have no chance of outrunning the knights on horseback.

With this thought in mind, Gao Wen gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist and suddenly pulled it out.

Clang!

The sound of steel scraping against each other caught the attention of Gudako and Mash.

Only Shirou and his party from Chaldea remained in this circular plaza.

Shirou had assumed Bedivere would be there, but the reality was quite different from his expectations.

Bedivere did not appear here.

Where could he be...?

Unable to reach a conclusion, Shirou turned his gaze to Gawain.

With the drawing of that "Sword of Victory in Revolving Wheels",

Night turned into day, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire holy city.

This glamorous holy city has been stained with blood countless times.

The dazzling light appearing above the Holy City at this moment is not a reappearance of the sun, but rather because the "Sword of Victory in Reincarnation" contains a holy sword that resembles the sun.

This sister sword to the legendary sword of King Arthur was originally wielded by the Lady of the Lake, just like Excalibur.

Hidden in the shadow of "Excalibur," it is a holy sword with little description.

According to legend, this holy sword possesses the same power as the king's holy sword.

King Arthur's sword gathers the light of the planets, while Gawain's sword displays the blazing rays of the sun.

If the "Sword of Excalibur" can be cleaved in two by the light of the stars, then the "Sword of Cyclic Victory" can be burned away by the scorching heat of the sun.

The former is a single-point-focused Noble Phantasm for attacking cities, while the latter is a Noble Phantasm for attacking armies, used to wipe out approaching enemies.

At this moment, Gawain, wielding the "Sword of Victory," is facing off against Shirou.

Despite his clean-cut appearance, Gawain possessed extraordinary muscle density and was quite heavy. His dashing and radiant aura, like sunshine, was enough to ignite anyone's passion. This hot-blooded man could travel a thousand miles a day as if it were an everyday occurrence.

Once a battle begins, it's only natural that they would fight for three days and three nights straight without sleep until the enemy is completely annihilated.

Looking at the sky, now as bright as day after the "Sword of Victory" was drawn, Leonardo da Vinci exclaimed in surprise, "That's... Gawain, the 'Sword of the Sun'!?"

Gudako and Mashu also became highly alert at this moment, raising their shields to defend against any possible attack.

Shirou watched this scene casually, his mind still preoccupied with where Bedivere had run off to with the Holy Sword.

"Why don't we go and take a look at the Pharaoh's place..."

As Shirou muttered to himself, Gawain was already furious at Shirou's disregard.

"How dare you ignore me like this! I'll make you pay for your arrogance!"

Gao Wen held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, raised his left hand and stroked the blade, and a blazing flame immediately ignited.

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun, the blazing flame that burns away all impurities—'Excalibur Gallatin'!"

The "Sword of Victory in Reincarnation," once imbued with magic, can extend in length, just like the "Sword of Excalibur."

The power to slice off the top of a hill was being unleashed along with the spreading flames!

"Senior, be careful!"

Gudako and Mashu sensed the immense power of Gawain's Noble Phantasm and immediately spoke up to warn Shirou.

However, they had barely made a sound when they heard thunder rumbling from the sky.

Chapter Seven Mordred: Let's all attack together!

Along with the rumbling thunder came lightning that seemed to fall from the sky.

As if splitting the heavens and the earth in an instant, a thick bolt of lightning struck the red-haired boy's body.

Golden lightning burst forth with a dazzling light that made it difficult to even open one's eyes. After blocking the oncoming flames, the lightning did not disappear but instead condensed into the shape of a spear in Shirou's hand.

"What... is that...?"

Gawain's pupils trembled at the sight of this strange phenomenon.

Shirou, wielding the Thunder Spear, raised it high at that moment.

The furious thunderbolts in Shirou's hand exploded with deafening roars, and then Shirou hurled them toward Gawain.

Gawain quickly gripped his sword, channeling magic into it to reignite its flames, and then unleashed it in an attempt to counter the attack.

"Excalibur Gallatin, the Sword of Victory!!"

The moment the Sword of the Sun clashed with the Spear of Thunder, Gawain felt the violent energy contained within them and his eyes widened in shock.

boom----!

As the violent explosion subsided, Gawain's body was sent flying backward amidst a cloud of billowing gray smoke.

Gudako and the others who witnessed that scene all looked at Shirou with surprise.

Upon seeing Gawain fly backward, Tristan, who had not participated in the one-on-one battle between Gawain and Shirou out of chivalry, quickly stepped forward and caught him.

The surrounding knights all stood around them at this moment. Even though they had all seen the overwhelming strength that Shirou had just displayed, they all drew their swords and faced him without fear.

Although it would be easy to break through from here and enter that holy city, the one inside at this moment is not Saber, but the goddess Rungomminiad.

The best way to restore Saber is to find her own holy sword.

Shirou was able to do it easily.

The holy sword was forged, but it did not belong to Saber, so no matter how many times it was forged, it could not be restored.

Having no intention of lingering there any longer, Shirou looked at Gudako and the other two.

"gone."

Hearing Shirou's call, the three of them quickly followed in his footsteps.

The Knights of the Righteousness behind them watched with trepidation as Shirou and his party departed.

As the figure receded into the distance, the courage I had just mustered vanished instantly.

Tristan and Gawain also stared intently in that direction.

"Damn it... Even with the blessing of 'Never-Ending Night,' I'm still no match for him... Just who is that person?!"
