A sound even more explosive than the one that attacked Tristan before struck Gawain who was lying face down in the ground.

 The ground began to crack, a huge chasm began to spread, and the imitation houses began to sink one after another.

 The girl and Gawain were like a demolition team, fighting their way from the gate of the holy city to the high tower in the center. The whole way was littered with ruins and the upright knights who came to support and were smashed to pieces by Gawain.

 Blood gushed out of Gawain's torn body like a water pipe without a valve.

 The sky once again returned to its original color. Above the dark sky, there was not a single star to be seen except for the huge halo.

 Gawain, the Knight of the Sun,

 I couldn't even make it through the day.

 The girl slowly straightened up, her eyes scanning the surrounding houses.

 There was no human reaction at all within the vast holy city.

 The saying "no one sees the person alive, no body found dead" has been fully fulfilled at this moment.

 Those who were not chosen were punished by the Holy Spirit and eliminated on the spot, but what about the survivors?

 All the houses are empty and the knights are summoned.

 In such a big city, there is not a single living person.

 The girl stood in the center of the ruins and looked at the tall tower in front of her.

 "Holy Lance... weighing anchor..."

 The disembodied voice, like an illusion, passed through the wall and reached the girl's ears across the distance.

 "We have expanded territories, built cities, crossed oceans, and split the skies. What is the purpose..."

 Suddenly, my heart began to beat violently and the blood in my body began to boil.

 "Holy Lance, tell of the end! Shine in the Rhongomyniad!"

 Something is coming.

 The next second, golden light pierced the sky, tore through the black curtain and rushed straight towards the girl.

 His pupils suddenly shrank, and Balmung stood in front of her without hesitation. The magic circuits that appeared on the surface of his skin flashed wildly, and dozens of defensive magic spells completely covered the girl almost instantly.

 Immediately afterwards, the pitch-black wings spread out, and a layer of red light began to flow across the blade of Balmung's sword.

 "Arise from the withered bones, breath of fire, wings of iron, in the twilight sky, like the cry of a newborn—the unnoticed heartbeat (hollow heart albion)!"

 The moment the huge spear tip shattered the last layer of the barrier, the overloaded magic power wrapped around Balmung and turned into a javelin, which was thrown out from the girl's hand and faced the Lion King's holy spear head-on.

 The blue lines on her chest began to turn red and then spread along the girl's body.

 "Pap...pap..."

 A sound like the movement of a needle slowly sounded.

 "Born from the bones, a paradise untouched by man, our final home. This is the last dragon that opens the border, beyond the fog that separates everything!"

 A gorgeous sea of ​​flowers began to spread from where the girl's feet touched the ground.

 It's not just a simple spatial transformation. It optimizes the way of pulling the opponent in during the battle with Karna, directly rewriting the world and separating the territory that belongs to it exclusively on the "inside" to invade.

 The more outside worlds are invaded, the more solid the territory will be and the more indestructible it will be. At the same time, some of its internal characteristics will be converted into a more powerful bonus for the girl.

 It is a level higher than the inherent barrier and can enter the realm of magic.

 "Oblivion eternal cradle!!!"

 Time began to speed up, and the stars in the sky kept alternating.

 The power of the Holy Lance began to manifest itself as time passed, and then dissipated at an accelerated speed faster than the girl's Noble Phantasm.

 The remaining power dissipated before it could even touch the ground, and the concentration of magic power rose for a moment before returning to its original level.

 This is the realm of young girls.

 As long as she remains connected to this space, she can manipulate time on anything within the domain at will.

 If you can't resist an attack, just speed up the time and end it before the attack reaches you, and make it completely dissipate.

 When necessary, it is usually simply unfolded inside the body, accelerating itself through synchronization, thereby reaching a speed infinitely close to teleportation and affecting time to a certain extent.

 Although it is possible to do this with one's own physical fitness and the manipulation of the second method, it still requires warming up and a wave of acceleration before it can be achieved.

 Moreover, due to a series of reasons such as his young age and low soul strength, the side effects of rewriting the world are enormous. After completely liberating the domain, there will be a period of weakness and he cannot release it again.

 However, it will not have any impact on conventional combat capabilities, and this side effect is only limited to dragonization and giant dragonization.

 The Holy Lance slowly dissipated, and an ominous red light emerged from the girl's Noble Phantasm. Then, in an instant, it broke free from the domain and rushed towards the tower.

 "Beyond the sky, rushing to the earth, it is a wedge of light standing at the end of the world... shining like the spear of the end (rhongomyniad)!"

 The second holy spear gathered in the sky again and fell straight towards the girl.

 The crimson dragon pupils glanced at the figure on the tower at the end before retracting their gaze. The sea of ​​flowers beneath their feet began to rapidly decline, leaving behind only a completely eroded pit and Gawain lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.

 The moment the two treasures intersected, even the sound disappeared from the world.

 Endless white light enveloped everything.

 The moment the light faded, only the holy city, which was almost completely reduced to ruins, was left.

 Fairy Knight: VIII. Determination

 197

 The girl's figure had long since disappeared into the ruins. Under the impact of the two treasures, this holy city built overnight turned into ruins overnight.

 "King, have the invaders been dealt with?"

 Agguiwen knelt on one knee behind the Lion King, lowered his head and asked tentatively.

 "Go and retrieve Knight Gawain."

 "...Yes, sir."

 Agguiwen lowered his head even lower, and kept this posture as motionless as a statue until the Lion King left the platform and returned to his dormitory. Then he gently raised his head and looked at the devastated holy city below his feet.

 "it's out of the question..."

 Agguiwen muttered to himself.

 Their holy city is a pure white thousand-year kingdom, an eternal chalk city, and only the sinless and pure are qualified to enter it.

 That gate is the best example.

 However, the city gate that could only be opened by kind people has now been smashed to pieces.

 Only kind people are qualified to open the city gate. But being qualified does not mean that one has the ability to break down the city gate.

 The Gentiles couldn't do it, and neither could the Knights of the Round Table.

 The king will not allow any mistakes. The master and the girl from a foreign land have stood on the opposite side and denied the Lion King's philosophy.

 As the King's knights, they had no other choice. Even if the opponent was an eternally pure soul recognized by the King himself, they had to perish.

 The king will have the final victory.

 All they had to do as knights was to firmly trust in the King and constantly wield their swords to wipe out all enemies before them. That was all...

 "Send a message to the guerrilla knight Lancelot, order him to immediately change his marching direction and round up the fleeing refugees! He must not be allowed to set foot in the Holy City until his mission is completed!"

 The person who tied the bell must untie it...

 ...

 The purple-haired knight sat on his horse and listened silently to the orders conveyed by his subordinates, his face beginning to become full of disbelief.

 "Sir, these are all the orders."

 Lancelot nodded and waved his hand to send the servants back, a look of slight pain on his face.

 "Everyone... Mission updated. Search... for the location of the attackers who attacked the Holy City and report back to me..."

 Some sins are doomed to be inescapable.

 One day, it will come back to you again.

 Now, it's here.

 Coming with unstoppable momentum.

 The hand holding the reins kept exerting force, but finally dropped as if losing faith.

 "I--"

 -

 "Great! We've escaped the encirclement! How's it going, Romani?"

 A flock of sphinxes flapped their wings and soared above the vast sky, with red spots of light occasionally appearing from beneath their masks.

 A group of dozens of sphinxes and the white familiars summoned by Sieg worked together to pull all the refugees out of the encirclement and then rushed towards Osmandis's territory without looking back.

 Leonardo da Vinci looked at the white beam of light that tore through the sky in the distance and slowly dissipated, and asked Romani Akiman.

 "Although it's hard to believe, this was truly a tremendous success! With the exception of Sieg, who hasn't reappeared, all the refugees have been safely evacuated!"

 "Night has returned to the sky, and there are no other Knights of Justice pursuing us..."

 Ritsuka Fujimaru lay on the head of the Sphinx, grabbing the fur on its head tightly with both hands and then turned his head to look behind him.

 "But is it really okay to leave Sieg alone to cover our retreat?"

 "I'm sorry, Ritsuka, we don't have enough strength to fight the Knights of the Round Table right now, and this time we shouldn't make any mistakes. After all, Sieg doesn't have any weaknesses that can be exploited..."

 "Romani is right. In short, our primary goal now is to evacuate from here under the cover of night!"

 As Da Vinci spoke, he stepped on the accelerator hard. The simulated engine of the Sphinx continued to roar, and the speed of the wheels began to increase continuously.

 The entire team marched across the ruins and sand dunes and returned to the burning land.

 Even at night, the flames here showed no signs of weakening and continued to leap.

 During the day, they might have contributed to the scorching heat, but on such a cold night, these fires became a source of warmth for the refugees.

 "No traces of enemy forces were detected within close range. We've successfully distanced ourselves from the Holy City..."

 "Thank you for your hard work..."

 Lucius took out water bags from the Sphinx and distributed them to everyone.

 "What's wrong?"

 Seeing Mashu's hesitant expression, Lucius couldn't help but ask.

 "Nothing... I was just wondering... if my strength is a little too insufficient. Ever since I first met Miss Zieger, I've been relying on her strength, whether in Orleans or here..."

 Lucius was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the shield from the girl's hand, gently stroking the patterns on it.

 "In the past, I had the same troubles as you. I was a knight, but I never had the strength to match it. But with Merlin's persuasion, I finally came out of my troubles and truly accepted the title of Knight of the Round Table from the inside out."

 "Wait a minute! Are you a Knight of the Round Table?"

 Romani Akiman's panicked voice came from the other side of the communication.

 "Yes, I apologize for hiding my identity all this time..."

 Lucius placed his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply to everyone in front of him, including those in the control room on the other side of the screen.

 "My real name is Bedivere, one of the Knights of the Round Table."

 "Bedivere..."

 Mashu kept muttering the silver-haired knight's name.

 "Whether you have the ability to match it is not the most important thing. What really matters is your heart, whether you have made up your mind and are working hard for this goal..."

 “Determination and hard work?”

 Bedivere looked at Mash and nodded.
