Davidian's Holy Grail War

“Or rather, this gun is indeed very powerful, but it seems to have been chosen no longer.” She added these two sentences at the end of her sentence, which drew Percival’s agreement.

Every time he gripped the gun, he felt a wave of intense sadness, a sense of "failure," washing over him—a heart-wrenching regret.

The wailing within the gun burst forth with magical power, shimmering like tears whenever he wielded the chosen gun.

That's why he's called Percival the White Light, and the gun is no longer something to save fairies, but something to defeat them.

He shouldn't have continued fighting with that gun in the first place, but it was one of the few weapons that could defeat the fairy knight.

[A gun...a gun. His Majesty Morgan's weapon, though its design is rather exaggerated, is still a demonic gun, isn't it? It really is the same person, Caster, you actually knew that too, didn't you?]

Ritsuka's suspicions were further confirmed by this conversation, and he was now even more certain of his guess. He was so engrossed that he didn't even hear the laughter of Gareth and Percival beside him.

Finally, the fairy officer Auraria reminded them that they had reached the outskirts of Norwich. Their next move was to enter Norwich through the sewer entrance, quickly reach the Lord's mansion, ring the bell, and then evacuate.

When they arrived at the designated sewer entrance, they were taken aback. Pepe was actually there! This truly surprised them. Had their actions been predicted?

"Welcome~ I figured you guys were too small to really launch a full-scale assault on Norwich, so I came to the sewers to wait for you. And as I expected, we actually ran into each other."

"Let me see how many of you there are: Muramasa-chan, Gareth-chan, Habertrot, Da Vinci-chan, Caster-chan, and... This is amazing!"

Pepe welcomed the arrivals with a smile, but Percival's expression turned grim. If Count Pepe could see through their scheme, then others must also be able to see through their actions; this was going to make things difficult.

"Is it an enemy?!" He raised his gun, intending to shoot a hole in the strange man in front of him, but Pepe screamed first, shouting, "Where is the enemy?"

This left Percival completely bewildered. Was this person alright?

Watching Pepe scream as she approached Percival, Ritsuka could only threaten helplessly, "Watch out or I'll reveal your real name, Mr. Pepe. Now let's talk about what happened at the Lord's Mansion up there."

"Ah~ You don't need to worry about that at all~ Mr. Bogzart had an upset stomach this morning and has already gone to bed to rest. The soldiers in the city lord's mansion have also been given special leave to rest, so no one will stop you from doing whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka and Castor both showed expressions of surprise. However, after thinking about it carefully, they felt it made perfect sense; Bogzart was indeed the kind of person capable of doing such a thing.

After all, he owed them a favor from the previous battle against the calamity, and such a proud great demon would absolutely not allow himself to owe anyone a favor.

"Alright! Then let's move quickly! It's better for everyone to stay outside the city. We'll quickly ring the pilgrimage bell and then retreat."

Ritsuka changed the battle plan at the last minute. Since Bogzat was willing to return the favor, they would certainly not be polite or make things difficult for Bogzat.

Pepe smiled again and glanced around at the people around her, then asked, "Oh dear? Why is someone missing? What happened to that child, Ritsuka-chan?"

"That child? Are you talking about Redra Bit?" Ritsuka knew that Oberon rarely went to the battlefield, so Pepe could only be referring to Redra.

Pepe nodded, indicating that she was referring to the energetic child, but Da Vinci said that Redra had stayed in Lentinium. That guy said that since he couldn't pull the carriage, there was no need for him to come.

"Oh? He really is smart. Is it all thanks to Aurora's teachings? Well then, I won't stand on ceremony. Alright, Caster and Ritsuka will form Group B and come with me. The rest of you will form Group C to ensure the safety of this escape route."

"I'll lead you straight to the city lord's mansion. Stay close, because the sewers of Norwich are quite winding."

After saying that, Pepe turned around and led the way, and the three of them quickly approached the city lord's mansion. On the way, Ritsuka suddenly said, "Pepe, there was no Group A in the group assignments just now."

Upon hearing this question, Pepe suddenly showed a relieved expression; he was very satisfied with Ritsuka's growth. Compared to when he was in the Lostbelt in India, Ritsuka has grown even more outstanding now.

That battle with Wodim has helped him improve a lot. Although he hasn't reached his peak yet, the fact that he can ask such a question speaks volumes about his condition.

So Pepe laughed and replied, "Let's talk about it another time, when Fujimaru Ritsuka can truly stand on her own. Then, the three of us—me, Kadoc, and you—will call ourselves Team A again! Ugh, I'm really looking forward to it!"

As they talked, they entered the city lord's mansion of Bogzart, and there was truly no one on the streets. Not even the city lord's guards were there; they had simply entered the Bell-Striking Hall without any restraint.

Upon arriving at the Bell-Striking Hall, they were surprised to find another person there. Not Bogzart, but Spriggan? What was he after?

"After all, it's a rare sight, and I'd like to witness it myself. The scene of the Prophet ringing the pilgrimage bell will determine the actions of many people, and I don't want to miss it."

Spligan had clearly been waiting here for a long time, and even Ritsuka didn't know how to comment on his effortless attitude.

It's frustrating, yet there's nothing you can do about it—that's pretty much the current situation.

"Alright, ignore him. After all, he's a pure businessman. His greatest skill is following trends and speculating. Although he has something to ask for, it's not right now. Our priority right now is to ring the pilgrimage bell."

Oberon suddenly appeared. He reminded everyone of their current task, emphasizing that wasting time was not a virtue.

Chapter 363 Only War

"Oberon, you actually came here?" Ritsuka was deeply incredulous. Didn't he say he was going to Salisbury? How could he have arrived in Norwich at a time like this?

Upon hearing Ritsuka's words, Oberon chuckled and said that even a lady like Aurora needs her own private time at night, and it would be completely inappropriate for him to stay any longer.

So after finishing his business with Aurora, he immediately rushed towards Norwich, and thankfully he made it in time.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Artoria, have you made up your mind?" Oberon asked Caster again, who was deep in thought.

Salisbury, Gloucester, Norwich and Lentinium.

A wind city where fairies and humans live together, a flower city that is both bright and desolate, a city of forging where all kinds of humans and fairies compete, deceive, help and grow together.

Finally, there is... a ruined city, so scarred and anxious, yet still smiling with concern for others.

These are the 16 years I have spent in Tintagel as the Son of Prophecy.

Ritsuka watched him silently from the side, while he waited for Castor's choice.

If Merlin were here, he might sigh. What an interesting scene, what a similar one.

The boy, who had given his all, watched as the girl made the choice that would change her life forever: to take responsibility or to run away?

What happened in this Lostbelt at this moment was almost like a reenactment of King Arthur drawing his sword in Pan-Humanity.

Finally, Caster made up her mind. She looked at Ritsuka and said, "Yes, I'm going to ring the bell. I know how, so don't worry, everyone please step back."

But before stepping down, Ritsuka suddenly said, "Once this bell is rung, you'll be on that path. There's no turning back. Oberon is probably hoping you'll do just that."

But… Caster, I still have to ask you, are you going to ring it?

Upon hearing Ritsuka's words, Caster's previously courageous expression nearly crumbled. But she gritted her teeth and said, "I must!"

Ritsuka nodded and stepped back, silently making up his mind to protect the person in front of him.

He would do everything in his power to protect her, even though she probably didn't really want to, but she still took that step and took on this responsibility.

Caster finally gripped the Staff of Choice and began to chant: "Hymn of Paradise, Song of the Inner Sea. Born for those chosen, judged, and corrected. Bell of the Beginning, to guide lost children back home—forgive their sins."

As she chanted, the enormous pilgrimage bell began to swing on its own.

The resounding bell tolled throughout the entire Fairy Kingdom, and even at night, a time for rest, all the fairies awoke at this moment.

Morgan ran her fingers lightly across David's firm chest, and at that moment she felt somewhat like a femme fatale.

However, David knew that her mind was not on this at all, after all, the sound of the bell... even he himself found it uncomfortable.

"Now that the bell of pilgrimage has been rung, let my will be conveyed to all lords, all fairies, and all humans."

From now on, the Child of Prophecy will no longer be my subject; she is an enemy that threatens the Fairy Kingdom, and all those who collude with her can be considered my kind.

In my fairy kingdom, enemies should be defeated and annihilated without any mercy.

After a moment's thought, David gave his answer: "I understand. Lord Woodworth of Oxford and Lord Bogzat of Norwich will attack Lentinium simultaneously. As the commander-in-chief, I will show no mercy now."

This is a sure-kill situation; even Camelot would have a headache dealing with the combined attack of these two.

The Round Table Army, with only a few hundred men, was no match for them.

"Hmph, I bet when this is announced tomorrow, they'll be overjoyed and rush back to their homes. They're fickle and addicted to blood; even after more than two thousand years, the nature of fairies remains unchanged."

As Morgan finished speaking, she raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and then extended the hand that had been resting on David's chest.

At that moment, she gently lifted David's chin with her white fingers and said, "You left behind a troop, and you actually thought you could hide this from me? You're too arrogant."

David could only smile wryly and say, "I can't hide it from you after all, but I do have other plans for Bagster. After all, I always have to have a backup plan. Those people always manage to bring about miracles that I can't even imagine, so I want to succeed in one fell swoop if they surprise me."

At this point, it can only be said that Davidian fully utilized his years of military experience, and it can be said that he went all out.

He even considered the possibility that Bogzart and Woodworth might fail, and if it came to that, Bagst would complete their mission.

“I understand your thoughts, but there’s no need for that. Putting Bogzart aside, Woodworth’s past words already prove that everything is foolproof.”

Let Bagster go to the forests of Wales; there's a troublesome fellow there. I'll awaken the guard knight Bojon as well, and let Wales be destroyed.

David was surprised. That annoying guy from Wales? You mean Oberon? No way, what trouble is he in? He's just a mere servant from Pan-Human History.

However, since it was Morgan's idea, Davian wouldn't go against it. At worst, he would personally cover for Bogzart and Woodworth—it was just a matter of making a trip.

“I understand, I’ll go and give the order right away.” David said and was about to get up, but Morgan simply put his hand back on David’s chest and pressed him back down with a little force.

"No need to rush, it's okay to give them some time. My David, should I say you're a completely wicked person? You clearly like them so much, yet you're so ruthless when it comes to taking action."

If Morgan had teased him like that before, David would probably have blushed.

But this time he didn't react that way. Davidian simply said calmly, "I am your knight, I am your lord, and I am only responsible for you. Now, for your kingdom, I will naturally do my utmost. Neither the people of Chaldea nor the Child of Prophecy can compare to you."

This is the current Evil Dragon Knight, Davidan Sleirick, who has abandoned his principles as a former hero of pan-human history, the Lord of Camelot, and a Knight of the Round Table.

Morgan pressed his ear close to David's chest to listen to his heartbeat, and the steady, strong beat reflected David's mood.

He didn't lie at all; he fought those people with a mindset of certain death.

He did indeed anticipate the right ending, even if it meant his own disappearance and Morgan's death. But Davidian had never said he would hold back; he was going to fight with all his might this time.

Chapter 364 The Ascension of Castor

"Has the bell finally been rung...?" Just as Ritsuka was thinking this, Castor in front of him began to sublimate.

The boiling magic power overflowed directly from her body, a scene that completely stunned everyone around her.

Who would have thought that ringing the bell would bring such help? This is far more practical than the help from those treacherous fairies who waver in their ways.
