At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

The holy sword passes through the hands of people with good intentions,

Leave it to the being who deserves it.

——I no longer have this qualification. "

Guda: "——If this is your wish."

The expression on Bedivere's face gradually relaxed.

Bedivere: “Great.

Then Sir Mashu, please come with me.

Please support me who is full of shortcomings. "

Mashu suppressed his grief and responded: "...Yes!

I will fully respond to Knight Bedivere's request! "

Then she looked at the Lion King with a sharp gaze.

Matthew: "The enemy is the Lion King, the goddess Lungominiad...!

Let the final battle in this holy city begin, Master! "

…

Wow~! Avalon, that familiar memory fragment again.

Merlin: "The king is wandering around without being able to return the holy sword.

He failed to die and became a heroic spirit belonging to heaven.

Therefore, she——[Artoria, who has always used the Holy Spear] will not come to this Avalon.

It’s different from you who came here to return the Holy Sword.

There is only one way to free her.

This time I must return the Holy Sword.

But - you understand?

The reason why you have been able to travel so far,

All because of possessing this holy sword.

Returning the Holy Sword means the end of everything.

Your long journey, your hard work,

It will all end without any reward.

For human beings who rely on the body,

The fear of death increases with time lived.

A full 1,500 years. Your fear of the 'death' you are about to face is so severe that even I can't imagine it.

Living with this kind of pain forever is actually just [tiring].

No matter who you are, you can survive as long as you endure it.

But I can tell you that the step you are about to take is very important.

It will be a fear that no one can face.

Even so - are you going anyway? "

This, this is—? !

When people saw Merlin's words, they subconsciously assumed Bedivere's position.

After gaining immortality that far exceeds the lifespan of the race, will we be more afraid of death——

Regarding this proposition, few humans have been able to explore.

but--

Compared with concepts such as loneliness and isolation... death has always been the most intuitive fear of human beings, and it is also more difficult to overcome.

It is hard for people to imagine that if they could live for more than a thousand years, they would seek death and survive because of the long inner suffering——

Or because I have lived longer, I am more afraid of death.

Although from Bedivere's experience, it is not difficult to see that immortality may not be a good thing.

Without a matching strong spirit, even if the body is still alive, it will fall into an alternative death-like state until the consciousness is completely eliminated.

but……

but--!

Those elderly nobles, and even the low-status and weak commoners, all had a flash of desire in their hearts.

People are more afraid of unknown death than the lonely future they already know.

What is the world after death like?

Is it really as described by the gods.

Where will the soul go?

For people with short life spans, these are the most instinctive fears in their hearts.

People are ashamed of their fears—

But it is not certain whether Bedivere, a Knight of the Round Table, would also be afraid of this.

Even though Xiaobei has revealed it many times in the epic, he is afraid of the day he will meet the king.

But many people still believed in Bedivere.

This feeling of trusting Bedivere more than Bedivere himself stems from his performance again and again in the story.

If Xiao Bei knew that so many people believed in him, he might not have been so confused before and would have needed Ma Xiu's guidance.

Merlin: “Even so—are you still going?

Just to right the wrongs of the distant past.

It was just a wish that the king could continue to live.

Knight Bedivere.

Knight, you have no fault at all? "

Following Merlin's words, the image of the Knight King smiling that day appeared in Bedivere's mind again.

People look at the silly guy in the illustration,

When Merlin said that Bedivere was not wrong at all——

Ooohhhhhh! Tears ran away!

Some who were still crying suddenly cried louder.

A simple man with half the blood of the giant sub-race, who was nearly three meters tall like an iron tower, was crying because of what happened to Bedivere.

But what people finally saw was Bedivere's firm reply as always.

"--Um.

If this is the only chance I get to serve the King. "

Chapter 754: Return of the Holy Sword, the Last and the Best Loyal Knight

"eternal life--"

For a race whose life span is only a few hundred years, "eternal life" may not be a gift.

It's more like a curse.

Even so, people still flock to this curse.

But now Bedivere is willing to give up the chance to live for the sake of his unfounded crime and his king.

Even if the ants are still alive...

Bedivere, who has experienced 1,500 years of loneliness and inner suffering, now has to light up and burn even his last life...

‘No…it’s too miserable! ! ’

People screamed in their hearts and couldn't bear to look directly.

This was too cruel for Bedivere.

Not to mention the people from all countries who are also humans, and even some other races who are reading the epic——

For example, Yu Ye of the orc race, and those elves and goblins who had been secretly paying attention to the epic, also had a huge impact on their hearts.

Even as immortal species, such as elves... Thousands of years are just an era of youth.

But that doesn't mean they don't understand how painful and mental torture this kind of immortality far beyond their own lives may be for other races.

Even they themselves have had their share of painful moments.

In the past, there were many cases of longevity species being combined with common species——

Often the person who lives longer will always be the one to give life to his beloved in the race against time.

‘Eternal life becomes, in a sense, a curse. ’

——This is clearly understood by the races with the longest lifespans, such as elves and fantasy species.

And for humans who only have a mere hundred years, they can even imagine——

It is such a painful and lonely thing for a person to have eternal life without a companion or someone who can be trusted to support and walk together.

Not to mention, now there is also the fear of death that has been intensified several times.

At this time in the epic, the brilliance of the holy sword in Bedivere's arm has overshadowed the Lion King.

The Lion King: "I——can be suppressed by a mere heroic spirit...

No, you are not even a heroic spirit.

Just a human...actually getting so close to me?

Relying on the hands and feet that turned into clods and collapsed and fell, but still...

...Sir...who is he?

Why...do you have to do this...? "

Why……

……Why?

'Even if you ask...'

People said that they have been thinking about that question in their minds.

Until they saw Bedivere's next words, suddenly——

The emotions in his heart were released like a flood, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard, making him even more stunned.

Bedivere: "That's because, until now, I

I still remember your smile that day, King Arthur. "

Sudden--

As if he sensed something, even with one eye still closed and a splitting headache, the Lion King still shouted:

“...Wait. Don’t use that.

If you use it, you will—"

‘Use… that!

Which...? ’ After realizing something from the Lion King’s words, everyone suddenly became excited.

The little princess and the others ignored the tears on their faces and continued to sob. They subconsciously raised their heads——

'don't want! ’

Another memory about Merlin and Avalon, specifically the result of returning the Holy Sword...
