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

Although it's called an ideal world, it's only an ideal world in terms of material life. As a god, the Lion King can use magic to bestow countless foods and shelters upon this city, but spiritually, it was wrong from the very beginning...

The people of this city are more living than simply existing.

It exists simply to live.

Living in this city, most people seem to be in a dreamlike illusion, completely devoid of the real feeling of being alive, and lacking clear and firm goals deep in their hearts. Day after day, they simply repeat mechanical routines, like machines programmed to run numbly.

For them, the reversal and chaos of day and night is not the root cause of their lethargy. In fact, they don't care whether the alternation of day and night follows a regular order, as if the passage of time has nothing to do with them.

If one had to describe it, this so-called sacred place, from a distance, does indeed appear magnificent and grand, like a paradise on earth. However, when you approach it and delve into it, you will find that its interior is empty, like a hollow shell with no real substance.

It can be said that this city lost its future from the very beginning, losing the most important future for humanity.

Ultimately, she was nothing more than a deity. The continuation she spoke of was not walking, but a different kind of eternal sleep, just as Tiamat sought.

Although her initial intentions were good, Lo Wei was certain that even if the Lion King did restart humanity in his own way at some point, it would still be a problem.

Therefore, the humanistic logic she constructs is absolutely flawed, devoid of hope and future, and will gradually detach itself from the concept of humanity, merely a delusion existing only by relying on the Holy Lance.

—The sixth singularity.

Rather than calling it a singularity, Loewy prefers to call it a Lostbelt within a singularity.

Although there is no Imaginary Tree, the Tower of the End serves a similar purpose.

The only difference is that The Lion King was not completed yet, so this mystery was left to take shape before being cut out.

Having confirmed so much here and studied the Tower of the End up close, Lovi had his answer and was ready to leave. However, before that, he still wanted to see the Lion King one last time, and then talk, or rather, declare war.

Her ideals were just empty talk, at best merely her own delusions and fantasies.

Next, he would try to wake her from her reverie, just as he had done when he first woke Sleeping Beauty.

However, Lo Wei didn't quite understand why the Lion King would ask him to go to his bedchamber. Shouldn't it be the royal palace?

However, Luo Wei didn't think too much about it, since it didn't matter to him where he was.

"Remember to take a shower before you go, Crowley."

Gao Wen didn't forget to give a reminder.

"Take a bath? Hmm, is such a ritual required before entering the palace?"

"Ah...yes, that's right, you have to wash yourself before entering the palace."

Gao Wen began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"That's a strange etiquette, but I understand."

Lovi was somewhat surprised, but considering that this might be Camelot's etiquette, or perhaps the Lion King's obsession with cleanliness as a deity, he didn't refuse and planned to just find a pool of water, rinse off, and move on.

"Okay, fine, Crowley, well, you... good luck."

"???"

These seemingly random words left Lowe somewhat bewildered; he had a feeling that the gorilla was hiding something from him.

"clang--!!"

However, just as he was about to ask for clarification before setting off to see the Lion King, a piercing sound suddenly echoed over Camelot.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Luo Wei frowned.

Upon hearing the sound, Gao Wen's expression turned extremely serious.

"This is……"

Luo Wei didn't speak, but just frowned and gazed at the distant sky.

Gao Wen also looked in that direction and was immediately stunned. The once clear sky had changed without him noticing.

Thick black fog drifted from the distant sky, crackling with crimson lightning, splitting the sky in two like a tidal wave. One side was a clear blue sky, the other a patch of black fog and crimson lightning—a scene of apocalypse.

"They're here again..."

With just one glance, Gao Wen immediately understood what was going on.

"It's a demon..."

This pure malice is unmistakable, especially considering the curse that Lionheart once uttered.

King Arthur has returned, and the malice and resentment in this land have reached an uncontrollable level, so the demons have truly returned once again.

"Leave it to me. You go to the palace to find the Lion King, or find a safe place to hide first."

Gawain's words were extremely concise. Then, as he walked, he drew his sword and headed towards the city gate.

Demon...

Lionheart?

Lo Wei couldn't help but be a little concerned. Rather than going to the palace to find the Lion King, he wanted to see how far the calamity that had been brewing in this land had progressed and how it should be dealt with afterward.

With that in mind, he decided to ignore the Lion King and go out with Gawain to see what was going on.

Chapter 198 Am I Solomon?

As Rowe followed Gawain straight toward the city gate, many chariot knights were already lined up and ready.

Because they are not made of human flesh and blood, they do not need to rest or eat, nor do they possess many of the complex behaviors required by humans. They can stay here on standby at all times, making them an indispensable defensive force for Camelot.

"Didn't I tell you to go find the king, or stay where you are and hide? What are you doing following me?!"

Gawain noticed that Lowe had caught up and scolded him with displeasure.

"I just got lost at a crossroads in my life."

After this half-joking response, Rowe leaped to the city gate of Camelot. Looking down from the city wall, it was still a vast, endless desert, but the dark clouds in the distance seemed ominous.

"You stay here quietly and leave the rest to me."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Gawain abandoned his previous playful attitude. He drew his holy sword, pointed it at the sky, called for his guards to assemble, and then leaped off the city wall.

Below the pristine white city, amidst the endless yellow sand, stood towering figures, knights clad in silver-white robes with sun patterns etched on their arms, raising their lances and marching out in perfect unison.

They were Gawain's personal guard, the Chaste Knights of the Order of the Sun, specifically responsible for the defense of the city.

"Count me in too."

"You're something else..."

Gawain was somewhat dissatisfied, but when he saw Rowe land steadily on the wind, he secretly took back his words.

The main reason was that he felt the other party wouldn't go back so easily. Rather than letting him continue to run around, he thought it better to keep him by his side so he could keep an eye on him.

"Alright, I acknowledge your strength since you're on par with Tristan, but you should still be careful."

"I see."

Gawain led the Knight of the Righteousness and Rowe to a hill a few kilometers away from Camelot.

This is a wasteland, but they appeared on the hilltop, occupying a high position.

As long as the demons continue their raids as usual, they can take advantage of their superior position to gain the upper hand, which is a common tactic Gawain uses to deal with the demons.

However, this time the situation seems to be a little different—

"Lord Gawain, look! What... what is that?" The righteous knight in charge of observing asked in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as well.

In the distance, endless abyssal black mist accompanied by crimson lightning appeared on the horizon, like a colossal abyss beast swallowing the entire sky.

"—BOOM!!"

Like a thunderclap, it exploded from the ground, and a huge, twisted vortex, or rather a fissure, appeared above the land.

The distant wasteland was quickly covered by mud and turned pitch black, revealing a unique coastline that belonged to the black.

In that black soil, nurtured by endless malice, one after another terrifying monster soon appeared.

"This is the Demon?"

When he saw this thing appear, Luo Wei was also somewhat surprised.

In his vision, those pitch-black demons were as dark as the night, their faces obscured, yet they were extremely terrifying. They were a twisted life form that completely defied human common sense, like an army that brought about the end of the world.

And that's not all; these things themselves have an extremely high capacity to pollute the world.

As they continued to move forward, dark waves naturally formed at their feet, covering the entire desert. Wherever they passed, they turned into dark mud tides that spread outwards, as if to transform this desert into a chaotic swamp, further polluting it with their malice.

Upon seeing these demons, Luo Wei was completely astonished.

—The evil of this world.

Upon seeing this black wave formed from curses and vengeful spirits, he immediately thought of Angra Mainyu, the endless malice that once resided within the Holy Grail.

Yes, these demons are heroic spirits; their human forms are long dead. What remains now are nothing but obsession, resentment, and malice—the very essence of evil in this world.

As for why he was so familiar with it, it's because Luo Wei had personally come into contact with and purified Angolan Manu, so he naturally knew it very well.

However, compared to the guy in the Fourth Holy Grail War who was weakened by his own actions, the level of malice emanating from these demons is beyond what can be purified simply by entering them.

The malice of the demons, or rather, the malice of this land, has accumulated to an unimaginable degree.

It's truly hard to imagine how many people have died on this land. How much resentment and death have been gathered by the earth's veins, transforming into this unstoppable human calamity before us?

Upon seeing this, his heart ached inexplicably, and the cries of vengeful spirits echoed in his ears. For a moment, Luo Wei covered his eyes and shed a clear tear.

"We can't stand idly by; you have a duty to change this."

"Go, my son, this is your karma, the test you must bear."

An invisible call, seemingly from nowhere, echoed in his heart.

Not only Lovi, but even Gawain, who had fought against demons countless times, was somewhat shocked by the scale of the demons this time.

In the past, although there were sporadic demons harassing Camelot, I have never seen anything like the overwhelming scale of today's attacks.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel nervous.

Seemingly sensing Gawain and his companions' presence, the demons immediately stopped in their tracks.

Then—
