In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Reasonable my foot!!"

Mordred, who was being gradually pressed into the ground by Lovi, let out a roar and then, with the blessing of [Out of Control], broke through his own limitations, miraculously unleashing even more terrifying lightning without any mercy, and jumped out of the ground.

However, her arms had already been scorched black by her own lightning, and her internal body was in complete chaos due to the power output that reached 300%.

"Come on! Keep fighting with me! Don't act like an adult lecturing a child!!"

"It seems there's no room for further negotiation now..."

"Isn't that obvious? In fact, I never intended to communicate with you in the first place!"

Mordred had no intention of talking to Rowe, or rather, compared to talking to anyone else, her current rationality was only enough to keep her instincts running, meaning that killing the enemy and completing the Lion King's mission were her top priorities.

Her relentless, dog-like attack frequency perfectly illustrates this point.

'Disobedient children really do need to be disciplined properly first.'

Although I really wanted to take her away peacefully or persuade her to go back, given the current situation, capturing Mordred first and then reducing her blessings is the top priority. In other words, knocking her unconscious and taking her back is the most correct course of action.

Thinking about this, Luo Wei finally became a little more serious.

"Lord Mordred! The opponent's magical reaction has intensified again, and he has too many strange and unusual moves. Please be careful!!"

Since it was just a fall from a horse, such injuries were not fatal to the heavily armored knight puppets. So the remaining knights got up again, drew their weapons, abandoned the refugees, and carefully surrounded Rowe's position.

It doesn't really matter how many people come; after all, small fry are just small fry and can't affect the overall situation. Mordred is just a slightly bigger small fry, and if Rowe didn't try to capture her alive or persuade her peacefully, he would have already pierced her heart.

However, what was happening before their eyes was still extremely dangerous to the refugees.

They shouted warnings to Rowe to be careful, and some of the youths even grabbed wooden sticks and stood in front of the group of righteous knights, trying to relieve Rowe's burden.

"No, I won't... let you pass!"

"What kind of knight attacks with sneak attacks? Come at us!!"

A dozen or so young men spoke tremblingly, their bodies blocking the way for the Knights of Justice. Although the refugees' legs had already begun to tremble uncontrollably when facing the Knights of Justice, who were half a meter taller than them and fully armed, they were still unwilling to run away or retreat at this moment.

I just turned around and refused to run away. Although I did want to watch such an exciting family drama, it was mostly because of my worry.

They did not want to abandon the divine child or savior like people did a thousand years ago. They wanted to do everything they could to protect hope, even if it meant their own death, but they would never back down.

"madness!"

"Kill them first."

The Knight of Justice looked at the refugees before him, who were clearly terrified but refused to back down, and was unmoved. Instead, he coldly gave the order to kill them.

only……

"Although I am extremely annoyed, I can leave aside that daughter named Mordred for the time being, but you artificial beings should just obediently turn back into junk!"

Just as the Knights of the Cavalry were about to kill the refugees, Nitocris, emanating a dark aura, slowly walked over. She raised her golden bird scepter with her right hand and spread all their sword blades. Then, as if to vent some anger, she swung a golden scale that appeared out of nowhere and smashed it down on the Knights of the Cavalry's head like a meteor hammer.

boom! !

A dull sound suddenly rang out.

"—!?"

The situation before them was different from the norm in reality. The golden scales, which were clearly just decorations, not only did not deform, but instead smashed the helmet on the head of the pacification knight like a heavy hammer, and the force was so great that the pacification knight's body was thrown directly into the ground.

"Are you two out of your minds? You don't use your magic and authority properly, but instead you're smashing my divine artifact around!!" Anubis couldn't help but shout as he watched his golden scales being used like this.

However, Nito, who was clearly in a bad mood and wanted to vent, did not hear Anubis's voice. Her personality had been subtly affected when she sacrificed herself to the underworld.

Anubis also gradually began to discover some clues at this time.

"This is……"

Because the possession lasted for too long, the girl is now being affected by her own power, and those suppressed negative personalities have actually begun to become active.

"Kill her first!"

Seeing that they were being blocked, the remaining righteous knights intended to rush forward and kill Nitocris first, but at this moment Nitocris's beautiful long purple hair had turned completely white, and her aura had also changed drastically. She only glanced at the righteous knight in front of her, and death descended upon this land.

Immediately, the enormous Netherworld Mirror Tome appeared on her back, and then she spoke softly like a queen—

"Soulless, sin-ridden knight, fall into the abyss of the underworld."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless ghosts began to emerge wildly from the huge, dark mirror behind her. In just an instant, they surrounded and entangled the seven or eight righteous knights, then frantically burrowed into their armor and devoured them completely.

"Hey, that thing—"

Boom!!

"!?"

Sensing something amiss, Mordred on the other side stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

She clearly sensed that the woman on the other side, who had been tricked by this guy, had suddenly raised her Spirit Origin level to an extremely terrifying degree. Although it was still far less terrifying than the Lion King's oppressive power, it was still extremely terrifying. Moreover, she inadvertently witnessed the scene of the Righteous Knights being dragged directly into the abyss by the other party's ghost.

"..."

Nito looked over at that moment, but she didn't attack Mordred.

Because no matter who her biological mother is, since the other party is Luo Wei's child, that child is also her own. Even though they are not her own flesh and blood, she must take care of them and absolutely cannot kill them. Moreover, the outcome of the battle on the other side has already been decided.

"Don't get distracted, Mordred."

"Remember what I told you when we first met? You have to be vigilant at all times on the battlefield. Now it's over."

While Mordred was lost in thought, Rowe's hand had already been placed on Mordred's chest without her noticing. Then, a ball of white light entered her body, causing Mordred to feel a slight pain.

"Wow! You're seriously underestimating me!"

"No, this is a very serious move. You'll have to bear with it, because it might hurt a little."

Seeing that the attack had worked, Luo Wei put away his cane, then stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"...However, the pain only lasts for a moment."

The words fell softly.

"—Ughh ...

In the very next instant, Mordred, who had been completely enraged, stopped attacking and let out a miserable scream.

The ball of light that Luo Wei had just slapped into his body exploded inside him, as if it were being scorched by charcoal. It began to relentlessly erode, spread, burn, and tear into his body, only to recover and recombine again, repeating this process over and over.

The pain felt like being stripped naked and pressed onto a hot plate to be roasted; she could even feel her body burning fiercely inside.

"Ughhhhhh... What did you do to me?!"

Mordred knelt on the ground and cried out in great pain.

"Bear with it. It's just using magic to inject Michael's sacred fire into your body and then ignite the blessing bestowed by the Lion King. This fire doesn't burn the flesh, only the soul and the curse. Your blessing can be considered another form of curse, which is why it was ignited. Once it's burned away, your mind should return to normal soon. However, since fire is still fire, your soul will have to endure excruciating pain to remove the curse."

"Damn it—you bastard!!"

His entire body felt as if it had been filled with magma, and the intense pain was even more terrifying than when his father had stabbed him in the chest. Even the usually stubborn Mordred knelt on the ground and began to gasp for breath in agony.

"Just bear with it. Once you get through this, you'll be back to normal. Then we can have a proper talk."

As he spoke, Rowe approached Mordred, leaning on his cane.

"Or rather, you didn't actually need to risk your life for the Lion King to this extent—what are you doing... wait, what are you trying to do?"

Lovi suddenly noticed that the magic flowing through Mordred's body had changed once again.

The rate of magical energy flow increased from 300% to 500%, or even more, and it was still increasing endlessly. The electric current flowing through her entire body had become so enormous that it completely exceeded the limits of her spiritual foundation.

If Mordred's magic was previously like an inexhaustible, ever-flowing nuclear reactor, then now she's more like a brain concentrating all that energy, without considering any risk of collapse, making her as terrifying as a nuclear power plant about to explode.

"Haha...Who wants to talk to you? Idiot! I knew all along that I couldn't beat you, so I was waiting for this last resort!"

Curled up on the ground, Mordred endured the pain and mocked Lowe loudly. Her attitude was clear: she was activating her backup hidden energy... and wanted to drag Lowe down with her in a self-destruction.

"Are you an idiot? The Lion King doesn't need you to be so loyal, does he? Besides, your own father is coming..."

"Haha, perhaps. Even though I can't understand you now, I've managed to eliminate you. That would complete my mission! Now, come with me—whoa! What do you intend to do to me?!"

Just as Mordred was arrogantly giving her victory speech, a strange sensation in her chest made her let out a strange cry.

"Hidden energy on your back? Self-destruction? When I'm setting off fireworks with the Great Hero, you won't even know where you are."

Luo Wei felt around on her chest and successfully located the spot he was looking for.

"What are you talking about?!"

Mordred tried to stop him, but in the next moment, Rowe forcefully ripped her entire suit of armor off her body. In a short instant, Mordred felt a chill run down her spine, and in the blink of an eye, she was left with only a red strip of cloth covering her vital parts, completely exposed to Rowe's eyes.

"Are you some kind of pervert like Lancelot? You want to have your way with me while you're still hot before you die?"

"...We're saving you, so behave yourself."

Hearing Mordred's words, Lowe was speechless, but he didn't hesitate to act. He simply raised his palm and slapped Mordred's chest, making Mordred's face turn bright red. Then, the holy fire in his body immediately dissipated, and the blessing cast by the Lion King was also amplified and removed at this moment.

"What...is this?"

Without the blessing, Mordred collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon, then fell into a deep coma.

"...Father."

Even as she fainted, she was still thinking about the Lion King who didn't treat her like a human being. If he hadn't known what she had done beforehand, Lo Wei would have really thought she was a very filial son.

After seeing that the problem was completely resolved, Lowe picked up the bald Mordred and prepared to take her back to consider what to do next.

however……

"..."

"..."

The moment he turned around, Nitocris was already standing behind him, staring at him and the unconscious Mordred in his arms with an extremely strange look. The group of refugees all dropped the wooden sticks they were holding and stared at Rowe with wide eyes.

More specifically, from their perspective, as Rowe and Mordred were fighting, Mordred suddenly collapsed to the ground and began writhing in pain. What was even more shocking was that Rowe seemed to take the opportunity to pounce on her and strip her naked. Because they were facing away, they couldn't see exactly what he did.

"Caw! I saw it! Our leader is invincible! He just beat that chasing knight to his knees! What an insult!!"

Suddenly, one of the refugees jumped up and exclaimed excitedly, "Next, we definitely have to take her back and train her..."

boom!

"Damn it, you caterpillar, what's the point of having such a vivid imagination? She's still a child!!"

"Oh right, she calls you Father Emperor..."

A few eerie glances were cast at them.
