Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough! That's enough!"

Merlin looked at Romulus who was attacking with all his strength and kept waving his hands. Although he could not die, he could still feel the pain.

Romulus did not pause, and as he charged, the light seemed to be swallowed up.

In an instant, the entire duel space fell into darkness, with only traces of blood-red magic tearing through the darkness, creating streaks of light. The speed at which those traces appeared even exceeded the limit of the Lion King's visual tracking, and in less than a breath of time, a gorgeous flower exploded.

When color returned to the world, there was no intact bone left in Merlin's body.

"There's no need for this..."

Merlin spat out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't within the duel rules, he would have seriously suspected that Romulus was planning to kill him. "Well, then, I'll take my leave. If you're lucky, I'll come back..."

Before he could finish, he turned into a spirit and returned to his original place.

"Effect of [Romulus]! This card deals double battle damage!"

In other words, this 1000-point attack difference just reduces the Lion King's health to 0.

"you win."

Watching the aftermath of the magic surge towards him, the Lion King consciously admitted his failure.

The Lion King LP 2000 → LP 0!

The Lion King was knocked back and landed heavily on the throne. Due to the conceptual weakness from losing the duel, she was unable to get up.

"In an emergency, I will answer your call."

Before disappearing, Romulus handed Jiang You a card: [Quirinus' Throne], a one-sided skill draw with a countdown, quite useful.

"Please continue to create a future for mankind."

Jiang You looked at the reward he had suddenly received and laughed happily. This was a pleasant surprise, perhaps a favorability reward?

Referring to the words of the God Ancestor, it is probably because of saving the world.

Next, it was time to put an end to this: "Lion King, according to the agreement, you should take the initiative to remove the Holy Spear and allow this era to be restored, right?"

"I'm not that flower magician. Since I've been defeated, I'll naturally keep my promise."

The Lion King forced herself to stand up, her weakened body straining. Romulus's attack was a weapon imbued with murderous intent, so the impact of the attack was quite significant. Although the Lion King's expression remained impassive, her thighs were shaking.

Jiang You couldn't bear to see the Lion King in such a shameful state, so he pushed her back onto the throne.

"Since they are all willing to assist you, you are indeed qualified to meet that person."

The Lion King breathed a sigh of relief and stopped restoring the Holy Lance. "Then let me provide some information only I know. In this state, I have gained the same vision as the Magic King..."

"Only the Seventh Holy Grail was sent there personally by the Magic King. Finding that Holy Grail will allow us to locate the Magic King's Temple... I already know this."

"Then I have nothing more to say."

The Lion King wanted to say that his mistake wasn't completely meaningless, but now he made her look like a clown. He really hated magicians.

"The world's correction has begun. I will be liberated along with this holy city. It's time to say goodbye."

The Lion King slowly closed her eyes on the throne. As a false existence, she would perish along with this singularity.

"Even if your opponent is the Magic King, you've already defeated me, so don't lose!"

"Of course I..."

Jiang You felt like he'd forgotten something, as if he'd just recently had a heart-to-heart talk with someone. He quickly recalled, "Damn! Bedivere's holy sword hasn't been returned yet!"

Chapter 211 Jiang You: Xiao Bei's Favor! (It feels like the small theater is about to become a regular)

At this time, the Chaldean group had just left the desert and stepped into the wilderness where the holy city of Camelot was located.

"At this rate, I'm afraid it's too late."

Leonardo da Vinci looked at the towering Camelot in the distance and calculated the time. As the saying goes, "If you run too fast, you'll die." By the time they arrived, it would probably take the Lion King long enough to shower, change clothes, and take a nap.

“If only my car was still there!”

Although Da Vinci had returned to the team, she had been on Lancelot's territory. Even if Lancelot had some outrageous ideas at the time, he would not have let her tinker with anything. So her Egyptian-style car did not have a chance to appear.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Lancelot, your body... is disappearing!"

Gudako, who was in the center of the team, noticed something was wrong.

"Not only Lancelot, your body is also disappearing, Senior!"

Mashu kept an eye on Gudako's situation, to ensure that she could protect her safety as soon as possible. In her eyes, the moment Gudako spoke, Gudako's body began to become illusory.

"It's the same with all of us!"

“Finally got in touch!”

After leaving Ra's territory, Chaldea's communications were finally restored. Doctor Roman's voice, a mixture of anxiety and surprise, came through the communication, "Ritsuka, we've detected that the singularity is being repaired. You just walked around the desert and you already dealt with the Lion King?!"

"We haven't seen the Lion King yet, in fact, we just got out of Astra!"

Matthew explained to Roman that this was the first time that a singularity had returned to normal without the help of Chaldea. Even though they had been through a lot, the actual effect was no different from just a tour, and it ended without them even seeing the Lion King's face.

"It was Dad... Lancelot told us that Jiang You had already reached the Lion King. We were worried that he would be defeated, so we hurried out of the desert."

"The Lion King was defeated by that guy?"

Although Roman knew that Jiang You must not be an ordinary heroic spirit, with Jiang You's extremely small spiritual power, how could he possibly be a match for the Lion King?

"So it's that Noble Phantasm that uses history and heroic spirits as cards..."

"Judging from the current situation, the king has indeed been defeated."

Lancelot hadn't expected that the entirety of Camelot and the near-godlike Lion King could be single-handedly vanquished by a single Servant. He covered his face in frustration. Though he didn't show it, he'd been wrestling with the inner struggles of betraying the Lion King for quite some time. His expression was now completely wasted. If he had known better, he would have simply recognized his daughter and avoided the brunt of those shields.

"Hey, is this the end? The journey has just begun!"

Xuanzang said that he had not yet started his missionary work (palm technique), so how come the journey ended?

"You haven't had enough fun!"

Tawara Tota complained that Xuanzang hadn't shown the proper demeanor of a great monk yet, and had been blustering from beginning to end. "But it's time to say goodbye. Even though I didn't play any role, it felt great to be able to race together on the road to saving the world! Next time we meet, I'll definitely raise a toast with you!"

"What do you mean by not having enough fun...ah, I ran away."

Xuanzang was about to preach, but Tawara Tota took the lead and returned to the Throne of Heroes first, causing her to punch something like cotton.

"Well, it's time for me to say goodbye. Although you've forgotten, Ritsuka, we once traveled together. The place you're in is called Chaldea, right? Just like your journey, our fate hasn't come to an end yet. I will never forget this memory. When the time comes, let me, your master, guide you!"

"I look forward to your arrival. Chaldea always welcomes you, Xuanzang!"

Although Gudako didn't know why Xuanzang said that he had traveled before, she could feel that he was telling the truth.

Xuanzang smiled and transformed into a spirit, returning to the Throne of Heroes. Only then did she behave like a steady master.

"Then it's my turn."

Lancelot looked at his body that had become transparent and quickly held Matthew's hand. He had just got a well-behaved daughter and they were about to part before they could say a few words. He still had a lot to say.

"Matthew, my child. Although I don't know what caused the King to make the wrong decision, the enemy must be incredibly powerful. The road ahead for you will surely be extremely bumpy. While protecting your Master, don't push yourself too hard. Leave it to me, your father, when the time comes. As long as you are in Chaldea, I will definitely respond to your call!"

“Ahrrrrr——”

Kuanglan let out a dissatisfied roar.

"Shut up, no one can understand what you are saying!"

Only Gladiolus, who was also his own sword, could understand Kuanglan's roar. "And Matthew, remember, Lancelot is a swordsman, not a berserker..."

Before he could finish, Kuanglan's sword had already slashed at him, depriving Jianlan of the last time to talk to Matthew. He was furious and used his last strength to release the Noble Phantasm to fight with Kuanglan, and then accelerated the time to return to the Throne of Heroes.

"I, a genius, don't even have the chance to perform. It's rare that I came to the singularity in person on a whim."

Da Vinci put her hands on her hips, looking irritated. It seemed like after arriving at the singularity, she had only spent a few days in Lancelot's camp, and then the matter was over. "And the Holy Grail wasn't successfully recovered. But the Pharaoh didn't intend to make a wish, and the singularity is disappearing, so it can be considered a satisfactory solution! But now I have a lot of questions. Ritsuka, remember to write a good report when you return."

"what?"

Gudako was just an adult, and she wasn't ready to write a work report yet. "Can I just dictate it?"

"no!"

Leonardo and Roman refused at the same time, then smiled at each other.

"Oh, by the way, dear Da Vinci, I'm telling you that Roman has a problem..."

Gudako looked at Roman's projection mysteriously, whispering loudly for everyone to hear.

"Let's talk about this when we get back."

Da Vinci pulled Gudako and Matthew over and waved to the two remaining Knights of the Round Table. The three of them had reached their limit. "We are leaving too. Thank you for your help. We will never forget this journey. See you again!"

"Is it all over?"

Seeing his companions disappearing one after another, Bedivere did not feel relieved. He looked at his silver arm with a sad expression.

"I haven't returned it to the king yet. How much longer will my journey last? I'm sorry, king, I..."

Just when Bedivere was about to burst into tears, a black helmet came in front of him.

Kuanglan seemed to want to say something, but his low roar made it impossible to express a complete sentence, and he was so anxious that he gestured randomly.

"Lancelot, why are you still here...?"

Bedivere wasn't a Servant who arrived here through soul transfer, but an ordinary human, so he wouldn't be sent back by the correction force. But Lancelot didn't leave, which is amazing.

Then Bedivere saw a meteor rising from the city of Camelot. The trajectory of the meteor was very clear, and it was right here.

Chapter 212 Congratulations to Bai Qiangdai for joining the ranks of working people.

"Wow, your horse is so hard to control!"

Jiang You clutched the reins tightly. He finally understood what Medusa's A+ riding rank meant. The Lion King's white horse was considerably slower than Pegasus's, but even so, he felt he could be thrown off at any moment. At this height, even with his C-class stamina, he would be crushed to pieces. He couldn't possibly be forced into a duel with the earth, could he?

"Its name is Dongstalion. If you treat it like this, it will certainly not cooperate with you."

The Lion King was held in Jiang You's arms. She had no strength or energy to control her mount and could only lean on Jiang You.

This action was a bit ambiguous, but Jiang You had no intention of enjoying this process at all. Not only was the plot advancement before the fall in vain, but the armor on the Lion King's body was also painful.

"You haven't even had any riding training."

The Lion King looked at the ground beneath her feet. This height was nothing to her, but she was still weak and if she fell down, she would probably become paralyzed on one side of her body at worst.

"From the cards, it seems your spirit base can record your past experiences. Would you like to find an opportunity to learn riding skills from someone? You are currently relying entirely on your Noble Phantasm. In terms of combat, you have indeed reached the pinnacle of Servants, but you still need to face other problems."

"Rather than being able to record my experiences, I've never been back to Valhalla, so I don't know how long this archive can last."

Jiang You also thought the Lion King's suggestion was a good one. He knew how to ride, so he could find a mount with three full cards. That way, he wouldn't have to walk, which would not only save energy but also speed up his journey. So Jiang You climbed up the pole directly, "Then I'll ask His Excellency the Lion King to teach me when the time comes."

The Lion King also thought that the archive Jiang You mentioned was referring to this spiritual base. There is nothing wrong with using archive to describe an independent spiritual base.

"If I still remember when we meet."

"Okay, but there's a problem before that."

Jiang You's tone was a little nervous.

"That's what you said. As the victor, how could you not have the right to ask questions?"

The Lion King was a little confused. From beginning to end, Jiang You always said whatever he thought, so why did he become nervous now?

"How do I make it stop?"

Jiang You roared as he looked at the ground getting closer and closer.

"Don't use your thighs so hard! That's the signal to charge!"

Although Donstarion had gained the ability to fly briefly under the Lion King's protection, it was still a slightly more intelligent beast. Jiang You's desperate grip on its flank to prevent himself from falling was a warning not to stop charging. The Lion King's warning was too late, and the two men and the horse were hurtling towards the ground at a breakneck speed.

Sensing the spiritual bases of Jiang You and the king, his current master and the monarch he once served, Lancelot charged forward regardless of his motives. He used all his strength to block Eaststarion's charge, but having previously been hit by a Noble Phantasm from Jianlan, he had already reached his limit by blocking most of the damage for the two. In the end, he could only give Jiang You a thumbs-up, unsure whether to praise Jiang You for defeating the Lion King or thank Jiang You for allowing him to meet Matthew. He then transformed into a spirit particle and returned to the timeline of the Fourth War.

Jiang You's long-held curiosity about whether Duel Spirits could be summoned again after being defeated was finally answered: they had a cooldown. After being defeated, the summoning cooldown would be based on the Heroic Spirit's strength, effectively preventing Jiang You from summoning Heroic Spirits infinitely. Lancelot, for example, had a five-day cooldown, but it was unclear how long Wang Ha's would last, though it was unlikely that Wang Ha would give him a full three.

"Lancelot!"

Bedivere was feeling sad about Lancelot's departure when he saw the Lion King tremblingly stand up from the ground, supporting his beloved horse. He subconsciously grasped the sword at his waist because he was unsure of the Lion King's position, remembering that they were enemies just a few minutes ago.

"King..."
