hero?it must be me

"Lord Bedwell..."

Wang, in the haze, whispered unconsciously.

This murmur made Bedivere feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

He trembled all over.

【Fulfill the sinner's promise, this is your last chance. 】

【No matter what the final outcome of this battle is, you will die right away. 】

【Spend your soul, break away from the track of reincarnation, you will just fall into nothingness...】

【Even so, do you still hope to reach the end of this journey? 】

On that day, in the blooming flower field, the words that the person once said to himself echoed so clearly in Bedivere's ears.

Taking a deep breath, Bedivere grabbed his left hand.

He committed a crime.

A foolish and arrogant sin.

When the king was dying, he was ordered by the king to return the holy sword.

He knew that once the holy sword was returned, the king would die.

——He was really, too afraid of that result.

So, after going back and forth three times, he still failed to return the holy sword.

And when he returned to the king's resting place again...

Wang is gone.

Now, he knows.

Because he failed to return the holy sword at that time, the king could not even rest.

In order to pay for this sin, he has been searching, looking for that ethereal...

【Why, you choose a weak person like me to be the Knight of the Round Table? 】

[Are you trying to say that you will be a hindrance and not worthy of this responsibility? 】

【……Yes. 】

[Fool, if you want to say that you are behind, I am also the same as you. 】

【how come!King's words! 】

[Simple strength, pure weakness, the connection between people is not maintained by these alone.This city of Camelot was built by people's dreams. I hope that dreams like this can one day be realized by people's own hands.Therefore, there must be knights like Qing. 】

【Knight who is kind and gentle, who can feel people's pain and hardship, and who can recognize people's happiness and happiness. 】

【Do you like this Camelot city? 】

[Hi, I like it!I love the smiles of everyone living in this city! 】

[Really... It would be great if you could live a fulfilling and happy life every day for Qing. 】

On that day, Bedivere will never forget Wang's smile.

It is so clear to this day.

—he grabbed his right arm.

"What, what's going on?!"

During the communication, Dr. Roman suddenly screamed.

"What's the matter, doctor?"

Matthew asked quickly.

"The spirit base reaction on Bedivere's body is weakening—no, it's disappearing! This——"

Doctor Roman's tone became hesitant: "That is to say..."

At the same time, Bedivere's right arm emitted a golden radiance.

That brilliance, everyone present will feel familiar.

——It was a radiant brilliance incomparably similar to the holy lance Rungomigniad.

"Lixiang, everyone, the one in front of you is not the servant Bedivere..."

Doctor Roman said in a deep voice, "That is, human beings."

"Like you, Li Xiang, a real person."

"Please forgive me, everyone, I have been deceiving you with Merlin's magic all this time..."

With his back facing everyone, Bedivere's voice was transmitted in a soft but clear form.

"I have committed sins, and now, at last, I have the opportunity to pay back...my gratitude is beyond words."

"Really, thank you."

The brilliance is condensing.

When Bedivere's right arm seemed to become the radiance itself, that arm actually began to change its appearance.

That is impressively——

"EXCalibur?!"

Matthew exclaimed.

On Da Vinci's face, there was a sudden expression of "all connected".

She looked sideways at Zheng Qi, but saw Zheng Qi's face was calm, as if she was not surprised by this scene.

"You already knew?"

"...As an adult, you have to shoulder your own responsibilities."

Zheng Qi just replied like this.

Holding the golden sword in one arm, Bedivere bowed his head before the king.

"King Arthur, please allow me to represent the Knights of the Round Table to offer you a thank you..."

He said softly: "Thank you, alone, for everything you have done to end that dark age."

"For us, you are the star that guides our way in the night sky..."

"My king, my lord."

"It's now..."

"No, this time, it's finally time to return this holy sword."

The golden light was reflected in the godless blue eyes.

The half-dream and half-awake king instinctively stretched out his palm towards the brilliance——

The moment the fingertip touches, memory and consciousness are revived together.

"……I see."

Bedivere's cheek was gently stroked by a palm.

"To make that regret go away, did you wander in confusion until you arrived here?"

King Arthur woke up from that long dream.

"It was a splendid ride, my last and most loyal knight."

Looking at Bedivere, King Arthur had a gentle smile on his face.

"The holy sword has indeed been returned."

"Be proud of yourself, Bedivere."

"You have indeed fulfilled the mission entrusted to you by your king."

Tears streamed down Bedivere's face.

It was uncontrollable tears.

It seems to be the continuous rain swaying from the sky, silently, but washing the layers of dust on the soul due to the journey.

Seeing this scene, Lixiang and the others couldn't help feeling a sense of relief.

No one minded Bedivere's concealment of identity.

They were all sincerely happy that Bedivere could get this salvation.

but--

"what?"

Lixiang looked at his palm with golden light in surprise.

No, it's her whole body that is emitting golden light spots!

"Romani! Why are we disappearing?"

Da Vinci immediately asked.

Yes, not only Lixiang, but also Da Vinci and Matthew had this abnormality.

"Don't be nervous! It's because of the Holy Grail! Didn't the Holy Grail of this era be blown up by Zheng Qi before! Now that the last obstacle to disturbing human reason, the holy gun is gone, the restoration of the singularity will naturally begin! It's just that Perhaps because of the holy capital, the healing power of this era is several times faster than before!"

"This kind of restorative power will forcefully return things that did not exist in this era back to the place where they should have existed."

"To put it simply, you are being forcibly recalled to Chaldea, it's okay!"

Roman's words calmed Lixiang and the others.

But immediately, they noticed that Zheng Qi, King Arthur, and Bedivere did not have this abnormality.

"Wait! Doctor, the eldest brother and the others—"

"They are not heroic spirits."

Da Vinci replied: "The situation of Bedivere and Zheng Qi is easy to understand. As for King Arthur, she is the god who made it this far by herself. Therefore, losing the Holy Lance means the end."

"She will end here. Even if we still meet King Arthur with the Holy Lance in the future, it won't be her."

"As Zheng Qi said, the Lion King was indeed killed by him."

"The Lion King, and this holy capital, will perish together."

"How could this be...then what Mr. Bedivere and Mr. Zheng Qi have done..."

Matthew lowered his eyebrows sadly.

"That was not a waste of effort."

At this moment, King Arthur spoke.

She stood up slowly, leaning on the golden sword that represented victory.

"I have been liberated, just as Lord Bedivere wished. In addition, I have also obtained a truth that only the Storm King can know."

King Arthur looked directly at Lixiang and the others: "As the Lion King, I gained the same vision as the Magic King, and thus understood his intentions and ultimate purpose."

"The magic king Solomon, his temple is not in the correct time and space. The only thing that can clearly show its location is the seventh holy grail, and only that holy grail was sent by the magic king himself."

"—In other words, the Seventh Holy Grail existed in an era earlier than King Solomon?"

Roman suddenly interjected.

"Your guess is correct. The seventh Holy Grail is the first step in the burning of humanity and the key to completely destroying the foundation of human history. Didn't the King of Magic tell you? The only way to find the seventh Holy Grail is to find the Seventh Holy Grail. Once there, he will see you as a threat."

"The reason is that as long as the singularity where the seventh Holy Grail is located is not repaired, the anthropogenic burning will proceed."

"I see! That's how I got it! Thank you so much!"

It is definitely a good thing to get such important information.

However, there is also one thing that makes Lixiang and the others sad.

"Brother, Betty..."

Lixiang looked at them.
