The Warrior of Love

Compare your active period with the time when the "King Arthur" story began to flourish... Ha, could it be that this entire myth was created by you to deceive yourself?

How ridiculous! A mere maid dares to pretend to be a princess!"

"Uncle!"

Guinevere, whose hands were trembling slightly, suddenly raised her head, her delicate little face as cold as ice.

The blonde girl touched her chest, and as if a layer of water ripples appeared, she put her hand directly into her body, and then pulled it out little by little, and actually pulled out a rusty wide blade that was longer than her height!

This is a long sword covered with rust all over, looking tattered and no different from scrap metal. The rather wide blade gives people a rough impression.

However, it was this piece of rag that made Athena tense up the moment it appeared!

"Could this knife be that man's——delusion!"

When Guinevere handed the broadsword to Lancelot, Athena immediately threw the sickle away.

Almost at the moment it left his hand, the strange-shaped sickle turned into a spear and shot towards Guinevere like a stream of light.

"call!"

Unexpectedly, the white horse swung sideways, blocking the path of the spear that was aimed at the blonde girl, allowing the spear to pierce its body.

"Feel sorry……"

The knight sighed softly, rolled off his horse, picked up Guinevere and dodged to the side.

Then, the ground where the two men were standing cracked open, and a ferocious giant snake opened its mouth wide and emerged, just one step away from swallowing the two men.

"go with!"

With an angry roar, Lancelot threw the spear in his hand, which passed like lightning and went straight through the snake's head, killing the powerful beast with just one blow.

Athena had a cold expression on her face, staring at the two of them. A subtle and powerful wave of magical power swept over, and the ground suddenly turned gray and white, and the soft soil was instantly transformed into hard rock!

By the time he realized it, Lancelot's feet had been fixed to the ground, and the grayish-white color representing death gradually spread upwards along his legs... But at this moment, his hands had already grasped the rusty sword!

"Oh, the cup of miracles, oh, the life of dragons and snakes, all are dedicated to the things born from the earth; turn into flames, turn into strong winds, turn into clear water, and forge the fragile ore and the corrupted godhead into tough steel again!"

Streams of cursed power flowed out from Guinevere's body. This was not only her own power, but also the purest cursed power from the Holy Grail!

The essence of the earth is the best fuel for tempering "steel". Lancelot did not hesitate to insert the rusty sword infused with a large amount of essence into the petrified ground.

hum-

Suddenly, Athena felt a sharp pain in her eyes and could not help but look away. The curse of petrifying all things was unexpectedly cut off by the rusty knife. The gray-white rock turned back into soil at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lancelot's legs returned to their original state.

"hateful!"

Athena did not give up. She had to stop the rusty knife from reviving because she knew what it was and what danger it would bring.

A golden bow and arrow appeared in her hand at some point. Athena didn't need to aim. She pulled the bowstring and shot the powerful arrow, aiming at Guinevere.

However, Lancelot would not sit idly by. Having lost his spear, he drew a greatsword from his waist, took two or three steps to block Guinevere behind him, and held the greatsword upright in front of him like a shield, deflecting Athena's arrow.

The two gods immediately started fighting each other. One was a powerful goddess, and the other was a sharp "Steel". It was difficult to tell who was better for a while, but Guinevere took the opportunity to complete the ceremony.

[More brilliant than gold, more clear and flawless than silver - that is you! The brilliant white steel born from the dragon's skeleton that burned to ashes, that is you! The sun, moon and stars lose their brilliance in front of you, and all treasures lose their value in front of you! ]

Guinevere composed the words, which seemed complicated, but she used extremely high skills to complete all the chants in an instant in a language that mortals could not understand.

Even though she has fallen now, she was once the goddess of the earth. Just like Athena, she possesses many profound secrets, and high-speed chanting is just a small trick.

Chapter 722: Lancelot's Disobedience

boom--

A bolt of lightning struck from the clear sky and struck the rusty hilt of the knife buried deep underground.

Athena and Lancelot sensed something at the same time and stopped fighting at the same time. They each took two steps back and turned their eyes to the place where the lightning struck.

I saw that the rotten big knife had disappeared, and now what was stuck in the ground was a platinum short knife.

Compared with the previous sword, which had a blade of nearly one meter and a total length of 130 to 140 centimeters, the blade is now only 50 centimeters and will not exceed one meter in length.

However, the perception is completely different!

After using the essence of the earth to regain its former power, this divine sword has been reborn. Just standing there it exudes an unparalleled sharpness that even Athena is wary of.

At this moment, Athena had to admit that she had miscalculated.

Originally, she did not take Guinevere and her knights seriously. Although the God Ancestor and the Guardian God were both very close to the God of Disobedience, they did not cross that threshold after all. Even though they were very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, they were still far from the real gods.

This is also the fundamental reason why she is confident that she can suppress Guinevere.

Even though the Knight of the White Horse deviated from the myth and became Lancelot the Disobedient, the situation still did not get out of control.

After all, Lancelot was in poor condition, and even Fullmetal could not defeat Athena in her prime—the powerful Earth Mother had the ability to backfire on the Fullmetal Hero.

Even if we can't deal with these two in a short time, as long as we can delay until Jiang Liu returns, then everything will be settled.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Athena's confidence in Jiang Liu was extraordinary.

In her heart, this man will never fall. Even if he fails temporarily, he will continue to break through the shackles. Nothing can stop him.

——She sometimes felt self-loathing because of this, and kept reminding herself not to forget the humiliation of losing to him.

But what she didn't expect was that in addition to the Holy Grail, Guinevere also possessed the "divine sword"!

Athena didn't know the true name of the knife, but for all ancient earth goddesses, it was a natural disaster that could not and should not be forgotten.

That is the weapon of the Last King, and also his clone - the "Salvation Divine Sword".

A divine steel weapon that can kill dragons and snakes!

An out-of-shape Lancelot certainly poses no threat, but if he is coupled with the reborn "Salvation Sword"... it is enough to pose a threat to the Earth Goddess of Athena's level.

“Has it been infused with new life?”

Athena stared at the platinum blade solemnly: "Although I don't think this divine sword can be used for a long time... but it is true that as long as it is held by the Hero of Steel, it will be a natural enemy to any Earth Mother Goddess."

"Please be prepared, Goddess Athena."

The disobedient Lancelot slowly pulled out the platinum blade, and brilliant divine light flowed on it, making it difficult to look directly at it.

"The remains are one of the few clues that can lead to finding our Lord... They shouldn't have been used in a place like this."

There was a hint of regret in Lancelot's voice. Although as a warrior he was excited about obtaining a powerful weapon, as a knight following his lord, he still put finding the Last King first.

Because they have been wandering on the earth for a long time and have experienced many twists and turns and hardships, Guinevere and Lancelot now find it difficult to remember what happened in the past. Even the image of the "king" has become extremely vague.

The Holy Grail, the remains of the divine sword, and the Steel Vessel - these three artifacts have their own functions, and are all related to the Last King in some way. They are the few clues about the two of them.

Just like no one would use an antique sword to fight, if she hadn't been forced to this point, Guinevere would never take out the remains of the divine sword and recast it into a weapon!

But since we have paid such a huge price, we must gain something!

Athena seemed to understand something: "It seems that I have become your target."

"I'm sorry, Snake Goddess."

The knight held a platinum blade in his hand, and when compared with the sword body which was about 50 centimeters long, people were surprised to find that his figure was not very burly. Contrary to the impression given by his heavy voice, he was actually a person with a slender figure, and he did not look bulky at all even in armor.

Athena was slightly startled, as if she had just noticed this.

However, the knight did not give the goddess of wisdom time to explore. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into lightning and flew into the sky, disappearing into the boundless blue.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud thunder!

Rumble…

Within seconds, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and violent power surged in it, eventually gathering into a pale lightning that fell down!

Do not!

That was not just lightning, but an armored knight with pale thunder wrapped around his body, the disobedient Lancelot falling down with a dagger tightly in his hand!

"Control lightning? As expected, Lancelot is just a shell. You are the "Steel" that is far more ancient than this!"

Athena made a split-second judgment, spread her wings behind her, and flew into the sky as well, but in the opposite direction of the lightning's trajectory.

Even as confident as she was, she was unwilling to face the divine sword head-on.

However, Lancelot, who was diving down, seemed to ignore the laws of physics and turned around at an incredible angle just before hitting the ground, and chased Athena again.

"Aegis——"

Athena summoned the aegis inlaid with the Gorgon's head. Facing the attack from the sky by the God of Steel, she knew that she would be locked no matter how she dodged, so she wanted to block it directly.

However, the shield blocked the pale thunder, but it could not block the short knife that killed the dragon.

In the blinding flash, Lancelot's platinum blade pierced along the edge of the shield and pierced through the shoulder of the goddess of wisdom.

"Go away!"

Athena held back the pain and yelled, a huge amount of cursed power surged out, and in an instant the world seemed to have turned into night. The powerful force of shadow hit Lancelot at close range and knocked him far away.

"Well!"

The goddess of wisdom covered her wound with a frown, while Lancelot adjusted his posture with difficulty after flying for a distance. However, his breath was obviously weak, and it seemed that he had also suffered some injuries.

"Even for the most ancient Earth Mother Goddess, after being hurt by this divine sword, the final outcome is foreseeable."

Lancelot shook his head. "You are the queen of the sky and the underworld. You know all the secrets, so you naturally know how to bury Steel. If it is a one-on-one fair duel, I am not your opponent. However, I am holding this divine sword in my hand. You have no chance of winning!"

A hint of gloom and anger flashed in Athena's eyes. Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly froze, and then her whole body inexplicably relaxed.

"No chance of winning? Maybe not."

The silver-haired girl raised her lips to an imperceptible smile: "How long will you wait, my master?"

As soon as the words fell, a tall figure appeared on the battlefield at some point.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

Jiang Liu said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work... both of you, I will be your opponent from now on."

Chapter 723: The Defeat of the Lake Knights

There is nothing to be afraid of!

Even a God Slayer wouldn't be able to remain unscathed after fighting with the top Steel Hero!

And my uncle has obtained the reforged divine sword and transformed into a powerful warrior who is no less powerful than any god of steel.

Maybe it is impossible to defeat Yuanshan Jiangliu and Athena at the same time, but it is still very easy to escape.

——Guinevere comforted herself in this way.

In fact, Jiang Liu's cursed power fluctuations were indeed not as strong as before, and the aura he emitted was obviously weaker.

"This is not good."

However, Lancelot was not as optimistic as she was. After Jiang Liu arrived at the battlefield, his heart sank. Although he had not yet fought with him, he already had a bad premonition.

The more experienced a warrior is, the more accurate his intuition will be. A hero of Lancelot's level can roughly tell who is strong and who is weak just by meeting them face to face.

But there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter whether it is the God Slayer or the God of Steel, they are both guys who are good at struggling in adversity. It is common for them to defeat the strong with the weak. Even if they fall into an unfavorable situation, they will not necessarily lose. They just need to compete with the enemy in resilience.

Jiang Liu felt the remaining cursed power in his body and frowned slightly.

In order to destroy Bartras' immortal body, Jiang Liu simulated the attack in the Temple of Time. Although the scale was much smaller, it still drained the energy in his body.

Even though he recovers extremely quickly due to his physical condition, he can't accumulate much in such a short time. In terms of "quantity", he can't compare to the God Slayer and the God of Disobedience.

However, Jiang Liu was now full of fighting spirit, but without a trace of fear. The battle with Bartras seemed to have turned on some strange switch, making him feel the boiling blood for the first time in a long time - the last time was when he fought Goetia.

"Jiang Liu, be careful. That knight is also the Hero of Steel. Although he calls himself Lancelot, it is certain that it is just a pseudonym."

Athena reminded him quietly: "The short blade in his hand is a divine tool called the "Saving Divine Sword", which is inextricably linked to the "King of the End". Even if you are hit by it, you will not be able to bear it."

Jiang Liu nodded, his eyes swept across the pure white steel knight, but his mind thought of the berserker in Type-Moon.

Although both of them are fully armored and their faces cannot be seen, their overall appearance is completely different, one black and one white... They are more like the "welder" in the "Saber" job category.

Then he looked at Guinevere. The blonde witch king was watching him cautiously with a nervous look on her face.

"Ah!"

Jiang Liu suddenly laughed and raised a weapon in each hand.

"Although I got a new magic sword, I'm not used to using two swords. I'd better use only one sword. Come on, choose, Guinevere."

The scarlet magic sword in the left hand burned the atmosphere, and the distorted air waves swelled slightly, as if it had just been taken out of a furnace.
