on the street.

Kai was looking at the parchment in his hand, planning the use of military funds.

Like many years ago, he spends every penny. People who know him secretly call him the "Stingy Knight".

But only Kai himself knows that these are all "borrowed" things from Artoria, and he must not waste even a single nail.

The holy spear landed, and waves spread throughout Britain.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Artoria, have you caused any trouble again?"

Although he said this, Kai's heart was full of worries about his sister.

city ​​wall.

Agguiwen was looking at the horizon in the distance.

He felt the breath coming towards his face.

He whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Father...did you succeed?"

inside the palace.

Bedivere is dealing with many affairs - he was appointed as the palace deacon by King Arthur, and he works hard and seriously every day.

He stopped writing on the parchment and looked through the small window at the wheat fields stretching for thousands of miles.

There was no joy in his eyes, only worry.

"King...are you paying the price for Britain with yourself?"

This is a drastic change.

Each Knight of the Round Table felt something different from it.

[You don’t know these things. 】

[Because you and Lancelot, who are at the landing point of the Rhongomyniad, are the two Knights of the Round Table who are most affected. 】

[You and he fainted. 】

[Talent Red Dragon's Gift+ activated: The blood of the Red Dragon flows within your body, providing you with protection from Artoria. 】

[You woke up earlier than Lancelot. 】

[You sense something is wrong. 】

It should have been a joyful thing to kill the humble king Vortigern with the Rhongomyniad.

But Ian discovered that was not the case.

The magic power flowing in his body was silently telling him that the place where the holy spear fell was undergoing some drastic changes.

What caused all this?

Ian's eyes searched the surroundings.

The first thing that caught his eye were the three holy swords in the lake.

At this moment, they are stuck on the ground in handfuls here and there.

Ian ruled out this possibility almost instantly - because he didn't feel anything unusual about Excalibur Galatine.

There would be no problem with Aroundight and Excalibur, which are both holy swords in the lake.

So--

He looked forward.

Arturia was seen standing in front of the Rhongomyniad, shining in the air.

The conceptual weapon that came to this world in response to her wish was flashing with an indescribable light.

It should still be its problem.

Holding the ground with his trembling hands, Ian climbed up little by little.

It has to be said that even if it is just the aftermath of the fall of the Rhongomyniad, it is definitely not an impact that ordinary people can withstand.

If he hadn't absorbed enough magic power from Arturia, he might have ended up in a coma like Lancelot.

Of course it's not much better.

Every time Ian dragged his body forward, he could feel the bones in his body let out a wail.

[There is only a small distance between you and Artoria, but you feel like you have walked for a long, long time. 】

[You went through all kinds of hardships to get to her. 】

[You called out her name. 】

"Altoria."

If it were the past, the girl would definitely turn around happily, then rush over to hug herself like a nimble rabbit, and then bury her head in her chest.

But at the moment.

Arturia didn't react at all to Ian's words.

"..."

Ian felt a little unbelievable about this - did she not hear what she said?

"Artoria?"

he shouted again.

This time the sound was much louder, but the result was exactly the same.

Ian sensed something was wrong.

He reached out and tried to touch the girl's shoulder.

But at the moment of contact, a powerful force blocked it from happening.

This is unprecedented.

[You didn’t panic. 】

[You know there must be a reason why this happens. 】

[You analyze quickly. 】

[Nothing has changed between you and Artoria. 】

[The only thing left is the spear that shines in the end (Rhongomyniad). 】

[You realize that she is entering into some kind of contract with this holy spear. 】

What kind of contract would it be?

Ian couldn't guess it at all.

After all, neither Artoria nor the Rhongomyniad were existences that he could fully understand.

but--

Looking at Artoria's motionless back, Ian felt that it would definitely not be something beneficial to her.

So--

Even if there may be some danger, we still need to find out what the contract is.

Ian took a deep breath and stretched out his hand towards Artoria again.

[You are resisting that powerful force as a mortal. 】

[You can feel that every part of your body is under tremendous pressure. 】

[Blood flows from the corner of your mouth, and the sound of broken bones echoes in your body. 】

[But you didn’t let go. 】

[You know you have to figure this out yourself. 】

【This is what you should do. 】

[Like destiny, you broke through the power that blocked you. 】

[You witness a sacrifice in progress. 】

There is no free lunch in the world.

The appearance of the Rhongomyniad does not come without a price.

This conceptual weapon that transcends conventional cognition cannot simply be held by a king.

and so--

After killing Vortigern, you need to pay him enough chips.

Arturia chose the part called "people".

She will dedicate all her concepts of "humanity" to the shining spear of the end (Rhongomyniad) in order to achieve complete repayment of the price.

This young girl in her prime will gradually lose all contact with "human" existence and will no longer think in a "human" way.

After a long time, she will become an undead wandering in the world.

And all that is gained is the return of the Age of Gods.

"..."

How can you do this? !

The price for defeating Vortigern is sacrificing Artoria's concept of being a "human"?

Why is there such a price?

No!

Absolutely not!

This is not the ending she deserves!

correct!

Then use yourself other than her as a substitute!

Ian looked at his hand and didn't hesitate.

He's been a jerk for too long.

This time, he wanted to be the one to save her.

[The gift of the red dragon + has been lost: even the blood of the red dragon cannot protect you who changed and forcibly interfered with this contract. 】

[The talent Sword of Rotating Victory++ has been lost: the blessing from the sun cannot protect you, and you can no longer hold the Sword of Rotating Victory (Excalibur Galatine). 】

[The talent Shadow of the King of Knights + has been lost: Your existence begins to become thinner, and no one will regard you as the shadow of King Arthur anymore. 】

[Talent Knight Eternal Life + Lost: The intervention of the Holy Spear prevents you from being remembered as a knight, but the Knights of the Round Table will still exist forever. 】

[Talent combat continuation has been lost: This is a concept beyond "death" that you cannot avoid. 】

[The girl's awakening has been lost: deprived of your "human" nature, you can no longer serve as a storage point for Artoria's emotions. 】

"Altoria."

Ian tried his best.Only then did he touch the girl's cheek.

"I can finally give it back to you."

He kissed her - handing the girl's last emotion back to her.

"I'm just a despicable bastard, not worthy of your affection."

"From now on, please live the way you like."

"Your destiny should not be dictated by anyone."

[You have lost your qualifications as a "human being". 】

[Princess Curse+++ has been enhanced to Princess Curse EX: Without any protection, you were completely corrupted by Morgan's curse and became a concept other than "human". 】
