"I've spent my whole life loathing women! I've despised humanity! I've hated the pointless emotion of love! But for the first time, when I discovered that the person I was afraid of being disliked was a man, do you understand the sense of security I felt?"

"...That kind of foolish dead end because of you and Guinevere. Knowing the King's pain, the emptiness in my heart at that time, can you understand, Lancelot!?"

"You are nothing but an outsider. The fall of Britain has nothing to do with your homeland. You are free to leave, but what about us? We were born on this island, and we love this island deeply. Where are we supposed to go?! Answer me, Lancelot!!"

"Agraven... what exactly is going on...?"

Lancelot was reminded of the sins he had committed, and looked at Agravure in front of him, somewhat at a loss.

"I still have so much left undone—you outsider, you've betrayed our king once again! Receive your retribution—!! Lancelot, if you have any dignity as a knight, then obediently die here to atone for your sins to everyone!!"

"I……"

Facing Agravure's sword and sensing the anger and hatred in his heart, Lancelot was also caught in a deep internal struggle.

He had never imagined that his past actions had inflicted such deep harm on Agravity, with whom he had always been at odds, nor had he expected that the other party would fight him with such feelings all along. So he really...

"..."

Just as Lancelot laid down his sword, preparing to atone for his sins with his own life—

"dad!!"

A familiar voice reached Lancelot's ears, and the next moment, Lancelot suddenly opened his eyes.

--boom! !

A muffled thud echoed in their ears as Agraven's heavy blade struck a black snowflake shield with tremendous force, sparks flying everywhere.

He was completely unharmed because his daughter, Gahalad, was holding up a shield and struggling to block Agraven's deadly attack for him.

"Galahad?! Oh, I almost forgot about you. You're a traitor too. You and your father are truly of the same ilk! In that case, I'll send you on your way too!!"

Seeing that Mashu had blocked his attack, Agravure immediately recognized her by the shield. Fueled by his berserk state, he unleashed a furious roar, then activated all the traps in the room, unleashing dozens of magical energy projectiles at Mashu's shield.

"Ugh—!"

Because she had just unleashed her Noble Phantasm to block the Lion King's full-power Holy Lance, Mash's physical condition was still very poor. Facing the prepared Agravure, she swayed precariously and gradually lost her strength.

"Go on your way obediently, you rebellious wretch!!"

Seeing this, Agrave swung his sword, preparing to pierce Mash's throat with a single blow, but—

Swish! !

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, and a sword arrived even faster than Agravivan's.

The lake rippled with autumn light, and the once smooth air rippled outwards like waves on water, gently washing over Agguiwen's body.

"what?!"

Agrave's expression changed as he saw Lancelot's Undying Lake Light mercilessly slash open his chest, gushing out a large amount of blood.

His eyes were icy cold, as if he were looking at a dead man.

“Lancelot, you…”

The excruciating pain caused him to drop his weapon, and Agraven clutched his chest, staring incredulously at the murderous Lancelot.

"Agraven! You call me a traitor, you say I deserve my fate, you say I deserve to die, and I have no complaints! But remember to stay away from my daughter! If you dare lay a hand on her, even with the king's protection, I will kill you again today!!"

Lancelot said firmly, and at the same time pinned Agravwen's body to the ground with a single sword strike.

Bedivere was right; even in his berserk state, Agrave was no match for Lancelot. His previous suppression was merely due to guilt, preventing him from retaliating. Now, with Agrave targeting his most important daughter, he had crossed Lancelot's line.

In that case...

He will defeat it without hesitation!

"Lancelot, you damned traitor! You can't escape! The King will punish you! You will never be redeemed—!!!"

Agraven lay on the ground roaring, but Lancelot still didn't take his life. Instead, he sat on the ground somewhat forlornly, nodded, and then said...

"Yes, I can't be saved. A sinner like me can only wait to fall into hell. But even so, I know what I should do. This is what I want to do from the bottom of my heart."

"Alright, Agravan, I won't kill you today. We can't participate in the rest of the battle; we'll just wait here for the outcome..."

Lancelot's back looked somewhat dejected, and his tone became even more somber. He glanced at Mash beside him and forced a bitter smile onto his face.

"I'm sorry, Mashu, Dad must look awful like this."

"No, Dad, you're more handsome now than ever before!"

Mashu answered decisively, but there seemed to be another voice mixed in with her words; two different yet identical tones merged together.

"Galahad..."

In that instant, Lancelot saw his son's figure again.

"I see... then let's wait for the final result together."

After saying that, he sat back down next to Agruven, and then, ignoring his shouts and curses, slowly closed his eyes.

Now he won't go anywhere; he'll just stay here quietly.

……

On the other side, under the almost unstoppable power displayed by Rowe, the royal palace, which was originally a thousand meters away, was reduced to less than a hundred meters. Now, the last line of defense of the righteous knights in the entire city was also destroyed by his own hands.

Without Agravan's command, Camelot's entire defenses, except for the Lion King who was still activating the Holy Lance, had collapsed.

"Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from beside him, accompanied by a familiar whooshing sound and a sudden sense of foreboding. Luo Wei turned around as if he had sensed it in advance, and saw a silver light cutting straight through the air and flying rapidly in his direction.

Under his gaze, the Spear of Longinus ripped through space at an extremely tricky angle, piercing through the three knights in front of him, and then joyfully headed towards Rowe's chest for a warm embrace.

"Stop right now, I don't want to be pierced through."

Before the force of the spear tip could touch his heart, Rowe reached out and grasped the shaft of the Spear of Longinus, then swung it violently, annihilating the last four Chastising Knights.

"Al, you're here too..."

Looking at the blond knight king running towards him from below, a smile appeared on Luo Wei's face.

"Yes, I'm here to help you, Rowe."

Artoria, wielding the Holy Lance, ran towards them amidst the dazzling starlight. The golden radiance, combined with her golden hair, made it impossible not to linger and admire her.

"These chaplains have completely transcended the concept of knighthood and humanity. Agraven, the Lion King, they've used every trick in the book..."

As Artoria arrived, Bedivere also ran over. Although he only had one arm, Raphael's blessing allowed him to still display considerable strength.

The Knights of the Righteousness who had blocked their way had all been dealt with by Artoria and Bedivere, and now the three of them had arrived at the final checkpoint at the same time.

Artoria: "The internal battlefields of Camelot have been completely stabilized. Lord Tristan and Lord Gawain are currently unable to move. A large number of soldiers are pouring in now, so we no longer need to worry about being attacked from both sides."

Bedivere: "The Knight Lancelot has taken over Agravure's side. The entire Camelot defense line has completely fallen. I believe good news will also come from Gaheris and Bos. It can be said that we have won a great victory."

"We've finally come this far, Camelot, my former home. I never imagined that returning here would be to defeat another version of myself who went astray. It's quite a strange thing... But I can't worry about that now. This time, Rowe, I'll fight alongside you. Don't even think about abandoning me again!"

"Alright, let's all do it together."

Lovi looked somewhat helpless as Artoria grabbed his collar.

At this moment, compared to Bedivere, who was filled with self-reproach for failing to safeguard the Holy Sword when facing the Lion King, Artoria was unexpectedly excited, or perhaps she was encouraging herself in this way.

Seeing this, Luo Wei felt a pang of heartache looking at her covered in blood, and couldn't help but reach out and hug her, then said, "Thank you, Al..."

"Idiot, why are you thanking me?"

Artoria felt somewhat helpless.

"Next, all that's left is to drag that high and mighty goddess down and make her face to face with the Lion King—"

Before they could finish speaking, the three people present suddenly sensed something unusual and noticed something rapidly approaching.

"Something's coming! And its coverage area is much larger than we thought! Be careful!!"

Artoria hurriedly reminded her, and then, as soon as her voice fell, the entire world was swept by a golden light centered on the palace not far away, followed by a cold starlight that swept across the entire world.

"What...what's going on?! Is the Lion King's Holy Lance fully ready?!"

Bedivere shouted anxiously.

"No, not yet..."

Lovi gazed at the palace in front of him, with a pure white beam of light slowly spreading out from it. At the same time, around the castle, a golden barrier was also linked together to form a ring, perfectly isolating the palace within the golden screen.

"Rather than saying she's ready... it's more accurate to say that the Lion King has activated the power of the [Tower of the End]. It seems she's planning to retreat completely..."

Having completed his connection with the entire world, Luo Wei could clearly sense the special premonition of the Tower of the End activating.

The entire boundary of the Sixth Singularity is currently being burned and transformed into magic by the power of the Holy Lance. If we don't stop that guy quickly, this singularity will be completely reduced to nothingness the moment it is activated.

"We must stop it quickly... It's absorbing the planet's magic and preparing for its departure."

Luo Wei touched the barrier of light with his palm and began to mutter to himself, "Now we need to find a way to break this thing."

"oops!"

Just as Lovi was pondering, suddenly, Artoria, who was trying to force her way through, was bounced back by the light barrier, feeling dizzy.

"Is it really that hard?"

"Why would you think of crashing into it with your body? This barrier is probably something like the outer shell of the Holy Lance; it's very difficult to break through with just a Noble Phantasm and your physical body."

While rubbing Artoria's head, Lovi spoke.

"The outer shell of the Holy Lance, is it? They've even brought out something like this. It seems that my other self has been completely driven to the brink. Do they really not want to face us?"

As for the [Holy Lance], we also possess that.

It's uncertain who will shatter first when the Holy Lance clashes with the Holy Lance.

Boom!!

With that thought in mind, Artoria raised her holy spear and thrust it fiercely into the golden barrier. However, the golden shell did not shatter upon impact with the spear. Instead, many golden fragments fell off after the spear pierced through it, and its smooth surface now appeared quite pitted and uneven.

"Huh?! It's like this again? Is it because I didn't put in enough effort?" Artoria was a little annoyed.

While the Holy Lance could shatter the Holy Lance, it ultimately depends on the strength of the attack. Artoria's own magical power and authority were far inferior to those of the Lion King, who was a goddess, so she was unable to break through the barrier in one strike.

However, it is not impossible to forcefully break through the barrier with the Holy Lance, but in practice it is more like using a screwdriver to poke a big block of ice. No one knows how long it will take to open up a path.

"Damn it, I'll try using my Noble Phantasm... What are you doing, Lovi?"

Just as Artoria was about to smash it open, Lovi walked up to the light barrier and aimed the Spear of Longinus at its center.
