The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

Arthur was strangled by the neck and could no longer keep a straight face. He gritted his teeth and forced a voice out of his throat: "Don't play innocent... I know you have memories of the process of casting the curse..."

"That's Morgan..." The hand that was pinching his neck increased its strength. Looking at the familiar face that was so close, Arthur spoke again: "That day, when you cast a spell on Guinevere, Morgan called me out, and I met you. The Avalon in you cannot be disguised. It was indeed you who cast the spell..."

The feeling of oppression in the throat suddenly disappeared, and the air flowed smoothly into Arthur's throat again.

"You saw it with your own eyes... How is it possible? I would never--" The resentment on the girl's face suddenly became extremely shaken. Her body swayed, as if a curtain of lies had been lifted, and she almost fell off the stone platform.

"No, how could it be? Did I do it? It wasn't me...I did it."

The memories in her mind were suddenly shrouded in chaos. Those unreal memories, like a dream, conflicted with her usual cognition, causing Minanako to forget to fight back for a moment. She grabbed her hair and ruffled her white hair into a mess.

Seeing Minanako standing on the platform in a trance, Arthur took this opportunity to quietly gather strength to escape.

"So what if I did it... Since you saw it, you didn't say it at the time just for this moment, to get rid of me in one fell swoop, to abandon your wife and your knight for this - Arthur, you really are like a king."

Messy white hair covered most of Minanako's face, and the exposed golden pupils were bloodshot. She pointed one hand at Arthur, and purple magic power continued to gather in her palm.

"I just can't accept it. I'm jealous. Guinevere didn't do anything. I don't understand. I gave everything for you. I turned myself into a half-elf. But why did you do this to me?" Her words were incoherent. Minako took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but she couldn't stop the heat. When she spoke again, she found that her voice was choked. "Why... did you show up? You just had a crush on me, but you didn't choose me firmly. You just loved me for a short time, but I remembered it for a long time. So, go to hell."

"I didn't stop you because I believe in Minanako's bottom line. I trust her more than anyone else." He suddenly spoke, contrary to his usual behavior. The hysteria and desperation in his voice were gone, and Arthur's face once again showed the calmness and sophistication that belonged to a king.

His gesture stunned Minanako who was standing in front of him. She regained some of her spirit and did not stop gathering magic power in her hands, but the feeling of depression in her chest became stronger. Looking at Arthur's confident face, she became even more annoyed and couldn't help wanting to tear the man in front of her to pieces as soon as possible.

"I still remember the first time I saw you, you appeared in front of me in this posture."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Minako only felt that the speed of the magic power flowing through her body was much slower than usual, and even her own magic could not be cast instantly.

"No, I just understood why I came back here. This time is obviously one year later than I expected." Arthur faced the curse bullet aimed at his head. He had no doubt that it was a great magic that could penetrate his body and even his spiritual base in one fell swoop. Under Minanako's puzzled gaze, Arthur closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "No, it's not too late... If that's really the case, it may be just right."

The curse bullet was condensed, and Arthur opened his eyes almost at the same time: "Of course you want to kill me, because my existence affects your survival. Just like you want to kill me, Minako, I came here - to kill you!"

……

[“He will be a glorious king in the future, and he will have a wife who is married to him in a formal ceremony. As for me, I am just a mistake he made in his youth. He will be the only one in other people’s world, but he will always be the sun in my year, blazing and dazzling, out of reach.”

"No one can compare to him who said he would overthrow a country to save me, even his future self."】

Chapter 285 The King's Dream

2023-07-29

"I knew it!"

A sharp laugh was heard, and the curse bullet in his hand was instantly fired. Arthur turned his head desperately, and the compressed magic wave brushed past Arthur's head and melted the room behind him, while half of his face quickly dehydrated and charred under the high heat, melting Arthur's half of his face.

But before he could turn around, the next curse bullet was already hitting his face.

"You said you were going to kill me. For your queen?" A cold voice came. Minako controlled the curse bullet and did not fire it. Her eyes were covered with a layer of frost. "That's right. I betrayed your trust and killed your dear useless woman."

The skin that came into contact with the cursed bullet quickly fell off, revealing hideous flesh and blood, which then mixed with Arthur's blond hair under the high temperature. The intense pain made him clench his teeth tightly to prevent a cry of pain from coming out from between his teeth.

"I suddenly changed my mind. I won't kill you. I will turn you into a puppet with a scary face, and let you kill Guinevere with your own sword. Ah, I wonder if your dear queen will be as disgusted when she sees you like this, just like you were when you saw me, a half-elf."

"What happens after that?"

Arthur pulled the corners of his mouth, which caused the solidified flesh and blood to squeeze out large amounts of blood, making his smile not only not calm but also showing his lack of confidence.

Minako was stunned, her brows furrowed, and her voice became softer: "After that... I will kill you... No, I will make you stay by my side every day, and make you say you love me once a day... No? Let you destroy the country you created with your own hands?"

"Ah."

Seeing Minanako's indecisiveness, Arthur sneered in a low voice, but his sneer was immediately met with Minanako's glare. She stepped forward angrily and placed the curse bullet on the half of Arthur's face that was still intact.

But Arthur did not show even a moment's pain, there was only condescending pity in his eyes.

——That was an extremely infuriating look, the pity of a superior looking down upon an inferior. That look… was exactly the same emotion Arthur had shown when she had joyfully revealed her new identity as a half-elf to him for the first time.

"Do you remember?" Arthur asked softly, "Why did you want to gain power...even if it meant turning yourself into a half-elf?"

"I asked Teacher Meili. The will of the Rain Fairy is not something that humans can control. It has been through thousands of years of emotional accumulation. If it is not strong enough to shake the fairy's own [destiny], it will not be able to persist at all."

"I don't believe that you were just surviving through desire at that time."

"Are you...trying to convince me?" Minanako chuckled at first, and then the corners of her mouth widened, and finally she revealed her ridicule without disguising her feelings: "If I can be convinced by you, then all the loneliness and anger that I have accumulated over the years are nothing! Don't be naive, Arthur!"

"I'm just letting you recall the past so that you can see what you are doing now."

"Who do you think is responsible for all this?"

The annoyance in her heart became more and more intense, and her heartbeat seemed to be held by an invisible big hand. The long-lost feeling of panic made her eyes sharp.

"No matter how selfish or possessive Minako is... she can't use magic to coerce or rewrite other people's emotions."

"Because that was the only thing that allowed her to survive under the bombardment of thousands of different emotions, and it was the starting point for her to learn magic."

"Although you inherited all her anger, regrets, selfish desires, and even all her memories, you remembered her emotions and all her interpersonal relationships. But you didn't inherit an ounce of her rationality, and you even forgot what her most unbearable bottom line was, what she would never cross."

"At least, when she decided to fuse with the fairy to increase her magic limit, she hoped to protect the love in her heart instead of forcefully possessing someone."

Arthur clenched his fists. "When she sees me, she will use magic to tear me into pieces and torture me endlessly, but she will never use magic to taint emotions. So when I asked you what you were going to do after this, you hesitated and felt confused. Because you are just a ray of desire derived from her empty heart."

"You must be confused, Rain Fairy... You, without a heart, will never understand the contradictions of humans."

Minako's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

But before she could make any move, Arthur's elbow had already landed on her head.

Minako felt pain and immediately stepped back to distance herself from Arthur. She looked at the melted magic chain on Arthur's right hand and understood what was going on.

Did the heat from the curse bullet dissolve the magic power?

Arthur tore off the dead skin on his face. At this time, he could only move his right hand and could not touch Minanako who had already evacuated.

"So what, based on your current attitude?"

After the initial panic, Minanako calmed down. She sneered and fired the second curse bullet.

This time Arthur did not dodge.

The next moment, the curse bullet hit his left wrist, and the heat instantly evaporated his entire arm, and along with his arm, the restraints on his upper body also disappeared.

"Alone? Not necessarily."

The collision of magic stirred up a vast expanse of white smoke, which drifted in one direction under the stirring of the wind. When Arthur looked over there, the white smoke gathered and formed a blurry figure of a person. She was petite, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of launching a spell bullet. When Arthur looked at her, she immediately turned her head away and refused to look at him awkwardly. Arthur raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but when Arthur looked again, the figure had already disappeared with the smoke. The warm magic power like the sun took shape on his body, and the golden magic power defeated the shackles wrapped around his feet in an instant. White smoke floated out from between the shackles, and then the shackles and white smoke turned into magic debris and drifted away, as if they were dismantled by a pair of invisible hands.

The golden magic power became stronger and stronger, and finally condensed on Arthur's only remaining right arm, turning into an indestructible golden holy sword.

Holding the Holy Sword of the Star in one hand, Arthur cut through the white smoke floating in front of him with one sword. He pointed the sword at Minanako in the distance. There was no anger, hatred or even hostility in his eyes, only infinite sadness.

"Before I died, I was late because of my avoidance and hesitation, and let you die in your own world. But this time, I seem to have arrived just in time."

"As agreed, I'm here to save you." A golden glow appeared on the holy sword, and Arthur's face showed the peace of redemption. His tone was filled with regret and relief, but there was no hesitation.

"I will save you at all costs, Minako - even if it means killing you with my own hands!"

The next chapter is the end of this plot. If you have any questions, you can wait for the next chapter to see if it can be explained.

Chapter 286 Vol. : Shining! The Cowherd Round Table on the Beach (Ten)

2023-07-29

"We're out of trouble, so what? This is all in our dreams!"

A voice that did not belong to Minanako came out of her mouth. It was a strange sound that was layered, like a mixture of thousands of people's voices, or like the unclear echo in a cave.

Her silver hair floated as the deep purple magic condensed, revealing her pointed fairy ears that had been well hidden by Minanako. Her heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one gold, seemed to burst out with a deep, dim light.

The curse bullets that were originally formed only at her fingertips appeared densely around her the next moment. With a point of Minanako's fingertips, these curse bullets hit Arthur at all kinds of tricky angles.

At the same time as the curse bullets gushed out, two golden chains quietly appeared behind Minako. They quickly wrapped around the room and finally gathered at the door. The enhanced halo lit up, sealing the two people in this small room.

On the other side, facing the overwhelming magic curse bullets, Arthur had no intention of dodging. He simply raised his sword and easily blocked the first curse bullet.

Minako spread out her notebook, and ink-like black water flowed out of it. The black water spread along her hand and covered her entire body, making her fairy characteristics more obvious. The next moment, more and more dense curse bullets appeared.

No matter how she urged it, the curse bullet seemed to intentionally avoid Arthur, brushing past his side, his broken limbs, and his cheek, and never hurt Arthur at all.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

She looked at the face that looked particularly hideous due to injuries so close to her, and Minanako's facial features were squeezed together in anger.

"How can you dodge? You are just..."

"This is not your dream!" Arthur's voice was low, his eyes fell on Minako's face, but he was clearly looking at someone else: "This is her dream, and she seems to hate you more than I do."

Even as he spoke, he had already come close to Minanako. He raised his only remaining hand, and the brilliance of the holy sword in his hand reached its peak at this moment. His ferocious face, against the backdrop of the golden halo, actually revealed a sense of relief after redemption.

"Ex—"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm not a goblin!"

Minanako suddenly raised her hand, and the skin on her hand appeared a distorted deathly black color, but her nails were pale white, strangely stretched out and pointed directly at Arthur's defenseless chest.

"——caliber!"

The blade fell, extending from Minako's left shoulder to her lower abdomen. At the same time, the pale white claws were swung out, the nails scratched the charred left shoulder of Arthur, and deeply embedded in the flesh below.

"cough……"

Minanako's pupils trembled, and she looked in disbelief at the hand that had deviated from its intended trajectory - a hand grabbed her claws, and that insignificant force was the fundamental reason why her final attack failed.

She looked upwards along the hand and saw a black-haired girl with beautiful ruby-like pupils. However, the smile on her face was far from cute and full of mockery. She stood quietly beside Arthur and could not be seen clearly due to the smoke.

Arthur turned the holy sword, and he suddenly raised his head, and almost synchronously, the girl also raised her head.

"impossible……"

She opened her mouth and tried to open her eyes to see more clearly. But before she could see clearly, the holy sword burst into a brilliant golden light, which instantly spread into a beam of light and swallowed Minanako.

At this moment, Arthur let go of the sword in his hand, and he rushed into the golden light regardless of everything and hugged Minako's petite body with his only remaining hand.

He hugged the girl again after a long time. He silently endured the burning from his own treasure, and the girl in his arms seemed to have lost her life.

"I'm sorry." He said hoarsely, "I failed to keep my promise when I was alive."

As early as when she learned that Minanako had merged with a fairy, Teacher Meili told him everything. He was unable to respond to her with enough love that she needed, and his disguise could not hide from the fairy's eyes, so he chose another way and responded with indifference.

He had countless opportunities to save her, but because he was worried that Camelot, which had just been stabilized, would suffer another disaster, he was unable to make up his mind and missed the opportunity again and again.

The throne is really magical. He stabilized the country because he wanted to save the refugees in the country, and because of this country, he wanted to kill the sister he saved.

In the end, he broke his promise and failed to rescue the girl as he had planned that time.

"I consider myself to be a foolish person, but fortunately, when fate came this time, I was not late."

He hugged the girl, bathed in golden light.

"Please hate me, and use your deep hatred to break free from the shackles of the goblin. If it's you, you can definitely do it."

The golden light expanded, shattering the space, as if piercing through an invisible barrier. Star-like fragments floated down from the sky, like a dream.

The world collapsed bit by bit, and the void of nothingness appeared among the collapsed debris.

Dream is broken.

……

The magician in a white robe lowered her head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Have you really thought it through, Arthur?"

“My love, is it enough?”

"Your love for her is not what she expected at all. You will only make her fall deeper and deeper."

"Then let her hate me? It just needs to be strong enough, right?" The Knight King raised his head and his eyes seemed to reflect the stars: "I am quite good at making people hate me."

"She will hate you forever for this, even in death."

"Then I will wish her to obtain such "eternity" with her own will."

……

"Guwu."
