Chapter 99: Merlin

The Lake's Blessing is clearly a super advanced version of the Water Monkey.

Although the Water Monkey gives him incredible water abilities, he still needs to breathe.

In other words, he can't stay underwater for too long, or he'll suffocate.

The Lake's Blessing is completely different.

Li Xiang stood at the bottom of the lake, feeling completely comfortable.

It's as if he has turned into a fish, breathing through gills.

Speaking of breathing through gills, he suddenly thought of Merlin.

Obtaining the Lake's Blessing out of nowhere, this isn't scientific or magical.

If it were that easy, Altria would probably complain.

And Li Xiang feels like his bootleg version seems to be more effective than the original.

Altria's Lake's Blessing only allows her to walk on water.

But his actually makes him immune to water-based damage.

In this moment, Li Xiang almost feels like he is the chosen one.

He silently looks at the dark abyss in front of him.

There is no light, as if it can devour everything.

If a pair of eyes were to appear, it would be the gaze of the abyss.

Li Xiang lets out a breath.

Several bubbles rise from the bottom of the lake.

Since there is a save point, he grits his teeth and dives into this muddy black hole.

Li Xiang swims forward.

The Lake's Blessing is a blessing from the lake fairy.

And its effect is so powerful.

There is only one place where fairies are this powerful.

Avalon.

The sacred land in the Arthurian legends, the fantasy land of fairies.

Merlin is imprisoned in the high tower of Avalon.

While Li Xiang is lost in his thoughts, a faint blue light appears in the tunnel.

He looks up and sees the lake water above him.

Li Xiang secretly wonders if his guess is true.

Does Lake Balah connect to Avalon through this tunnel?

He remembers that there should be three fairies, or rather, nymphs, in this lake.

Li Xiang swims to the surface of the lake.

What he sees is a sky of azure blue, like a gem, radiating beauty.

It makes one doubt if this beauty truly exists.

He looks around with his eyes.

It's a forest.

But it's completely different from an ordinary forest.

Floating lights resembling fireflies, deer, squirrels, white rabbits, and other creatures move about, like elves.

Li Xiang is stunned for a few seconds.

It's exactly the same as he imagined Avalon to be.

"Where are the lake nymphs?"

Li Xiang climbs ashore. He has never seen what fairies look like in his life.

Just then, ripples appear on the lake's surface.

Disheveled hair emerges from underwater.

Li Xiang takes a step back. This scene could be directly used in a horror movie.

In his somewhat surprised expression, the hair continues to rise, revealing a pure-looking girl.

Her lower body is buried in the water, but her upper body is exposed, with a figure that would make anyone feel inferior.

My, oh my, the lad's pectoral muscles are quite exaggerated.

F drive is not enough, it has to be the G drive.

A beam of holy light struck the girl, making her look like an angel from head to toe.

Li Xiang's eyebrows twitched.

Who the hell put together this holy knight?

Kick him for me!

The girl smiled, and her fair hands pulled out two knight swords from the bottom of the lake.

"May I ask which sword you just dropped, brave warrior?"

"......?"

Li Xiang was speechless.

This sentence is too classic.

The only difference is that this river god is not wearing clothes.

He was about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze.

The sword in the girl's left hand was Artoria's holy sword, Excalibur.

The sword in her right hand also seemed familiar.

Li Xiang thought for a moment and pointed to the curry stick in her left hand.

"Brave warrior, please help yourself."

The knight sword in the girl's right hand disappeared, and she held the holy sword in both hands, smiling sweetly, "Come here."

Li Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Fairy, taste my staff!

He swam to her and slowly reached out his hand.

In the girl's expectant gaze, Li Xiang took out the Seven Deadly Sins - Pride from his prop inventory and pierced her chest with a single sword.

"This is the legendary Nekoneko Ichitou."

Li Xiang couldn't help but comment, "I'm at least a illusionist, how could I be easily deceived?"

The girl turned into light and disappeared.

The two knight swords also vanished without a trace.

Li Xiang returned to the shore.

The environment remained unchanged.

He frowned.

He was still in an illusion.

This guy shouldn't be underestimated.

Li Xiang held the Han sword and continued forward with a vigilant expression.

Although it was a forest all around, there was a small path in the front and back.

He used the point and deploy gameplay to select the path behind.

Although he preferred to go through the front door.

After about ten minutes, Li Xiang left the forest and arrived at a large grassland.

The sight was filled with lush green.

Unlike any grassland he had seen before, this grassland seemed to have a green filter applied, resulting in overly saturated colors.

In short, it was terrifyingly green.

The person who cast the illusion must be a skilled illusionist.

After Li Xiang finished his comment, a knight in white armor appeared.

Did I talk too much today?

He observed this knight.

But couldn't see anything.

Except for the eyes that were exposed, everything else was covered tightly.

Like a celebrity on a date in a past life.

The knight didn't want to speak and threw a large sword at him.

Li Xiang quickly jumped away.

The huge two-handed sword was inserted in front of him, trembling continuously.

Then the knight charged like an untamed horse, lifting the large sword and swinging it with both hands.

Li Xiang immediately used his sword to block.

The unimaginable force rebounded along the Han sword and into his arms.

His body trembled as if hit by a tank, sliding on the grass and leaving two grooves with his buttocks.

Li Xiang stared at the knight standing in place, feeling that his strength was as fake as a twenty-one-year-old.

But this seemingly genuine knight did not pursue him when he slid backward with his buttocks.

He tightened his grip on the Han sword.

Since he couldn't match the strength, he could only rely on skill.

If skill didn't work either, he could only die comfortably lying down and then start over.

He was a brave man.

Li Xiang uttered a syllable, and a magic halo appeared under his feet, turning his body into a shadow.

The Han sword in his hand was like a spirit snake, stabbing at the knight's eyes.

Magic could only assist him; his strongest skill was the killing technique he had developed in the ninja world.

But the knight's response was simple; he slightly tilted his head.

The Han sword pierced his armor, emitting sparks.

As hard as a turtle.

Li Xiang twisted his body with force and appeared above the knight's head like a swallow. Magic surged from his index and middle fingers, aiming at the knight's eyes.

The knight roared.

Invisible force spread.

Li Xiang felt dizzy and his movements became extremely slow.

He was startled.

Magic circuits surged with magic power.

Li Xiang formed a seal with one hand, and his body suddenly disappeared.

The knight's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Thanks to Shisui for sending the Body Flicker Technique.

Li Xiang exhaled and once again confronted the knight.

"Not bad swordsmanship."

After half an hour of fighting, the knight spoke for the first time.

"You're not bad either."

Li Xiang wiped off his sweat and replied.

"So, did you learn it?"

The knight spoke again.

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

The knight used typical Western swordsmanship, which was completely different from his own swordsmanship.

But both were formidable.

Li Xiang knew it was an illusion, so he simply learned the knight's swordsmanship.

He had a keen mind, and as long as he understood it, he could learn it.

He just didn't expect to be discovered by the knight.

"From being flustered at the beginning to being at ease now, and even being able to predict what my next move will be, you're truly remarkable."

The knight took off his helmet and said, "It's just that your strength is too weak, like a woman."

Li Xiang fell silent.

Halfway through praising, he turned to sarcasm. He had no emotional intelligence.

"Today's battle ends here, but we will meet again."

The knight showed a bright smile and said, "I hope next time you have enough strength."

Li Xiang frowned.

What does he mean?

We will meet again?

Although this is the great grassland, you're not the Big Bad Wolf either.

Li Xiang felt puzzled.

He couldn't understand why the knight came running as if to give him a set of swordsmanship.

He couldn't figure it out, so he continued walking forward, and soon a tall tower appeared in his line of sight.

Merlin?

Li Xiang looked up and found that there seemed to be no end in sight, like a tower that reached the heavens.

Climbing to the top of the tower was almost impossible.

He sat cross-legged and fell into contemplation.

The tower was not worth thinking about.

How should he break this illusion?

"Hey, young man."

A frivolous voice sounded.

Li Xiang looked up and saw a head of white hair.

Although the Chinese people are all fans of white hair, the premise is that it's on a loli, not an out-of-place middle-aged man.

"Meeting is fate, I'll give you a pet."

He shook a white pet that looked like a squirrel and a cat out of his wide sleeve.

"Fu!"

The pet leaped up and kicked the young man in the face.

"Fu Fu?"

Li Xiang instinctively exclaimed.

The pet in front of him was exactly the mascot in FGO, Fou.

Merlin's familiar.

"You've gone too far."

Merlin rubbed his face and glared at Fou.

The latter showed no fear and turned around, jumping into Li Xiang's arms.

Merlin shook his head and said, "Always turning your arm out, am I not good to you?"

Li Xiang and Fou had the same expression on their faces.

Can you even say that?

"..."

Merlin raised his staff and said, "Take Fou and save the world, young man."

Li Xiang's vision blurred.

He was back on the shore of Lake Balah.

Only Fou in his arms proved that he had indeed met Merlin.

Li Xiang was stunned for a few seconds.

The experience of this night was like a dream, and he was deeply moved, no, he was confused.

"Save the world... The world has really offended you guys. If it's not being destroyed, it's on the way to destruction."

Li Xiang left Lake Balah and took the train back to London.

Pets couldn't go on the plane.

He didn't dare to check it in either.

Fou was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

After all, it was the first of the twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, a primate killer.

Li Xiang always felt like he had brought back a time bomb.

Although it looked cute.

"Master..."

Astarte suddenly stopped.

It was as if time had pressed the pause button.

What did you bring back?

She then waved at Fou.

"Fou!"

Fou jumped out of Li Xiang's arms, ran to her, and rubbed her hand with its head.

Behaving like a...licking dog.

Astarte's lips curled up and she asked, "Junior brother, are you interested in joining the Chaldea team?"

Three thousand words, first update. PS: Li Xiang, because of his identity, so every Heroic Spirit is his cheat.
