Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

66. The moment when stars are born

"!???"

Achilles couldn't possibly make such a low-level mistake.

Although Achilles had never worn the golden holy robe of immortality a few times during his lifetime, which had a defensive power comparable to the highest level of immortality, after all, it overlapped with his own passive immortality skill [The Immortal Flower of the Brave]. Seriously, it doesn't allow him to enjoy the physical fight between fighters.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Achilles to make such a mistake.

Then there is only one answer.

(The spell in the holy robe was tampered with? Why? Who did it? When?)

A moment of loss of control.

"Tsk!"

But at this moment it is fatal.

This is also the reason why Achilles doesn't like to wear this holy garment that has been snatched by heroes and even gods - nanotechnology makes it easy to put on normally, but it is very troublesome to take it off, not to mention It's out of control now.

The overly strong defense prevented Achilles from violently breaking free.

Perhaps only Hercules could break free violently in this situation.

But without a treasure such as the Cosmic Shield, Hercules himself might be fine, but he would not be able to protect those around him from the falling Rod of God - even though Achilles disliked using this shield during his lifetime.

But one moment is different than the other. If he doesn't like his cheats, he doesn't like them, but he will not deliberately cause casualties to friendly troops just to use them. After all, Chaldea is not a pig teammate like the Greek coalition who is just a hindrance.

but.

At this moment, Achilles was indeed too late.

It was too late to save Lulu——

——Observation points of divergence——

[The group of ‘angels’ from Venus began shooting ‘steel spikes’ downward from low-Earth orbit]

[Basically having no fighting ability, Lulu, as a ‘doppelgänger’ created by Lu Mingfei to take on the job of a beloved idol, faced a sniper targeting her]

[The second 1D8=7]

--Sudden

A figure that was very familiar to Lulu, but somehow felt strange and strange, appeared in front of Lulu.

"Noble Phantasm·Simultaneous Expansion——[Foundation of Human Philosophy]!"

Matthew?

Why here?

Although I don’t know why Matthew appeared.

But she did appear, with a huge energy shield spread out in front of her, but at this level, it could not stop the falling 'Rod of God', it could only be delayed for a short period of time.

Want to run away?

However, with Lulu's pace, it was impossible to escape the bombing range of space-based kinetic energy weapons.

".Huh?"

Just when Lulu was at a loss and didn't know whether she should run away immediately, as far as she could, or run away with Matthew in front of her, a red figure stood up.

It's Mordred.

The armor on his body was in tatters, and the other stone sword in his hand was broken, so Mordred also raised it.

The blessing of [Rampage], which is more like a curse than a blessing, allows Mordred to still stand up as long as he doesn't completely die and as long as his consciousness doesn't die.

Lulu subconsciously thought she was going to attack herself.

But Mordred didn't.

Instead, it's like standing up, facing the rod of God, and protecting Lulu?

".Why."

The person who said this was not Lulu or Matthew, but Mordred himself.

"How the hell do I know why!?"

The magic power of the red thunder gushes out from the depths of the soul again, and Mordred raises Clarent (another sword in the stone) high.

"The body started to move on its own - tsk, I am a knight after all! What reason do you need to protect a lady!"

Lulu was stunned by Mordred's self-question and answer.

Was the brainwashing successful?

No.

It didn't succeed. If it had succeeded, the battle would have been over long ago.

Mordred himself actually knew the reason.

Mordred is a cursed child, an unblessed child who is not blessed, recognized and recognized, and can only wear a mask to hide his identity throughout his life.

Even though she responded to the collective call of the Knights of the Round Table this time, the Lion King did not recognize her and did not even allow her to set foot in the Holy City, giving her a self-destructive curse in the name of blessing.

Even though she gained a second life as a Heroic Spirit Servant, she didn't get the slightest recognition or respect.

The reason for obeying the Lion King's orders is not only the desire to be recognized, but also self-destruction and guilt for killing his father during his lifetime.

Lulu tried hard to convey her feelings to Mordred through singing, conveying to the knight Mordred in front of her the beautiful memories of that idol Mordred - having true friends, having a common goal, and even Even the bad mother (Morgan) developed a dreamy relationship like a friend because of interest.

Mordred was jealous.

Jealousy of ‘one’s own self’.

The reason why she stood up and was able to stand up despite being severely injured and dying by Achilles, who was in full serious mode without mercy, may be what she said.

Even if you bear the name of rebellion.

Mordred is also a knight.

Jealousy is not one's own self.

Envy the self that is not your own.

However, I still want to protect something dazzling and beautiful.

Even though the other silver Sword of the Sword of the Sword that paired with the Golden Sword of the Sword in his hand has been broken.

Mordred is still like a knight, imitating the figure of his ideal father (Arthur), making the heart of the dragon beat, constantly extracting more power——

"[Clarent Blood Arthur (cursed sword stained with king's blood)]"

A desperate blow.

Mordred pushed Lulu behind him and stood in front of Mashu's energy.

The Noble Phantasm was forcibly released.

You don't want to destroy the Staff of God, but at least delay it for a while in the end, allowing Achilles who has lost his chain over there to return to normal, and then use his invincible World Shield to block the blow.

However, Clarente has reached his limit.

Clarent, who was originally not a weapon but a ritual weapon, could barely withstand Mordred's constant [rage] magic output and Noble Phantasm release.

Using it after breaking it is completely self-destructive.

The cursed silver sword was, of course, completely shattered.

——Is Achilles okay over there?

Compared to being incompetent, unable to do anything, not getting any recognition even after being given a second life, and even compared to the legendary brave myself as a rebellious knight who couldn't put down his sword and become an idol, he must be able to do better, right? .

at this time.

The moment when Mordred stood up forcefully and was about to die completely, he met a stranger while running rampant.

"—Mordred!"

Mordred heard someone calling his name. It was the voice of Bedivere, the 'top student' in the Knights of the Round Table whom he hated very much.

"Catch this!"

It seems that most of Mordred's feet have already entered death.

The blessing effect of [Rampage] has disappeared.

At this last moment, Mordred, who had no strength, actually unconsciously and relied on his [intuition] to catch what Bedivere threw.

Incredibly, the moment he caught the thing, Mordred, who was about to disappear, regained the strength to open his eyes, and the power continued to enter the body from the palm of his hand along with the thing.

Mordred's eyes widened.

Looking at what Bedivere threw in his hand - the metal prosthesis of his right arm.

wrong.

It's not a prosthetic limb - it was originally a prosthetic limb. In Mordred's hands, it gradually changed its shape. It was some kind of 'illusion' that distorted the body - the illusion that Merlin had placed on it was lifted, and Bedivere's Silver Arm revealed his true identity and showed his true form.

When talking about the ‘Silver Arm’ in the British Isles, what naturally comes to mind is the God King ‘Silver Arm’ Nuada.

Everyone thinks that this is because Bedivere sewed part of the power of the God King into his spiritual base, right?

but,

The light displayed in Mordred's hand has another name.

The brilliance shines.

This sword connects the past, present, and future. It is the sad and noble dream that all the warriors who died on the battlefield had on their deathbed. It is a holy sword forged by the planet instead of humans. It is based on people's faith. The raw material crystallized inside the planet and became one of the ultimate divine weapons of "Last Phantasm".

Incredible.

It was obviously the first real contact, but the moment I held the sword, the method of how to use it naturally emerged in my mind.

The dragon factor in Mordred's body was singing loudly.

King Arthur is the original owner of this sword. The reason why he can wield this sword of salvation is because King Arthur is the king of men created by Merlin after he copied the properties of the fairy Morgan (Vivian) in the paradise and incorporated human elements.

Although Mordred is a copy of King Arthur, as a child created by Morgan himself, Mordred is closer to a fairy than a human.

Simply looking at design performance, Mordred is even above King Arthur.

However, because he is too inclined to goblins, Mordred's mental state has become increasingly unstable, and without good guidance, it is easy to go to extremes.

Goblins are very simple creatures. They do not 'find purpose in the process of living', but 'live for the purpose determined at birth'.

The purpose of Mordred's existence is to replace King Arthur.

Either kill or inherit.

Therefore, after being denied by King Arthur himself, Mordred fell into madness.

This is also the tragedy of the fairy species.

Almost all fairy species cannot truly make certain choices by their own will, they only live for the 'purpose' that was decided before they were born.

It can't even be called fate.

However, there is a slight possibility that Mordred is not a complete fairy.

It’s okay to be jealous.

Envy or admiration.

She did make a choice at this moment, entirely of her own will.

Want to protect something good (a friend).

Even that memory was just a false dream for her here and now.

then.

The king's counterfeit lifts up the light of the stars.

Holy Blade, draw your sword!

Even if it only shines for a moment, even if the transgression will be counterattacked later, even if the reason for doing it is just an impulse after recovering from [Rage].

If you don't go, you don't need to think about what happens after this.

Burn as much as you want.

——The light is flowing, the light is roaring.

Even if there is no thing that can be called glory, the clone of the false king still roars and calls out the true name of the Holy Sword of the Star——

"——[Excalibur (Sword of Promise to Victory)]!!!!!"

The magic power was accelerated by the unbound dragon factor and turned into a flash of light, destroying the falling Staff of God!

Then, the golden light flashing with the red color of life rose into the sky, recreating the shining light that surged out at the moment of the birth of the stars and reflected the vitality of the planet. Together with the angel in the near-Earth orbit who cast the blow, a And destroy!

The exhausted Mordred stared helplessly at the light.

She had seen this light in the distant past. In the past, had she not chased this light as a knight and looked forward to the day when she would be able to inherit it?

Even if it was just an impulse.

When I came back to my senses, I just felt stupid.

Whether now or before death.

(So, as a knight, I have never fought to protect anything as a matter of course.)

It has ended.

As a counterfeit of King Arthur, although it can forcibly release the light of the Holy Sword, this is a miraculous act.

In this singularity, King Arthur exists, so it is naturally impossible for her to inherit this glory.

Miracles come at a price.

After the final burning, there is only nothingness and fragility.

Mordred fell backwards into Lulu's arms.

ah.

Mordred couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the end this is not bad.

The unqualified knight himself did fight to protect something beautiful at the end of his second life.

Just like that, Mordred's body turned into countless spirit sons and dissipated into the air——

"--【do not die】!"

——to be continued!

Although it is written in accordance with the result of the dice, it is written that there is an inexplicable feeling that Lulu and Mordred are princesses x knights. ()
