Boom!!!!
Gawain's body was slammed into a distant building by the powered-up Limitless.
'Whew, that sun gorilla bastard... he's pointlessly, damnably persistent!?'
Even though I had long since blocked the sun with the Nimbus Cloud to nullify Gawain's Numeral of the Saint and fought him for dozens of minutes, Gawain neither tired nor fell.
Furthermore, even though he was just sent flying that far by the power of Limitless, I could see it clearly with my eyes.
Gawain was rising steadily despite his body being covered in wounds and blood streaming down his face from hitting the building. He tossed Galatine into the sky.
...Uh? Fuck! Wait, what did he just throw!?
"This sword is the incarnation of the sun. The haze of flames that purifies all impurities. Excalibur Galatine (The Revolving Sword of Victory)!!!!"
Shortly after, Excalibur Galatine fell back into Gawain's hand from the sky. As Gawain swung it, a slash of fire flew from the swung Galatine, and simultaneously, flames erupted from the earth.
"Urgh!!!!"
I immediately took out my holy relics to block the fire slash while activating Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
[The holy relics Fire Dragon Slayer's Sword and Flame Fire Dragon Sword consume the flames of the holy relic Excalibur Galatine.]
[The skill Fire Dragon Slayer Magic consumes the flames of the holy relic Excalibur Galatine.]
After consuming all the flames generated by Galatine's True Name Release with my holy relics and Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, I wiped the blood off my cheek.
'It's a relief that my compatibility with this guy is the worst for him; otherwise, I would have struggled quite a bit...'
While I was thinking that, I blocked Galatine's second slash with a wall of ice made with Zadkiel and let out a ragged breath.
'It's tiring as hell...'
But I have no intention of giving up. Outside this place, there are monsters even stronger than this guy.
Veda, Olympus, Papyrus, and other giant Nebulas, as well as countless Constellations and even outer world deities...
'If I give up at just this level, how am I going to beat the monsters that come after!?'
Swooooosh!!!!!
This time, I blocked Galatine's third True Name Release with Limitless, and the following fourth release was blocked with my defense-related skills and my own durability.
[The skill Armor of Fafnir (Incomplete) is active.]
[The skill Camael's Flames heals your wounds.]
As my wounds were healed by Camael's flames, I rushed toward Gawain once again.
"E.G.O Magic Bullet - 6th Bullet!!! Overflowing Bullet!"
Bang!!!
The bullet fired from the E.G.O Magic Bullet multiplied into dozens and hundreds, pouring toward Gawain like a flood. Gawain was wounded and bleeding from several bullets that hit him quickly, but he did not let go of his sword.
"Urgh! This is nowhere near enough!!! Excalibur Galatine!!!!!"
Excalibur Galatine was swung again, and all the overflowing bullets were swallowed by flames. Seeing that, I activated a skill.
[Activating skill Sword Strike.]
"Go!!!"
As the skill was activated, giant swords summoned above my head flew straight at Gawain and fell, exploding upon impact and creating thick smoke.
".....!"
At that moment, a powerful fire slash tried to swallow me from within the smoke, but I quickly flew into the air.
"Huff, huff.... Not yet!!! Come at me!!!"
He must be exhausted from the repeated True Name Releases of Excalibur Galatine and nearly out of magical power, yet he stubbornly held on and readjusted his grip on Galatine.
"Really persistent..."
I landed on a nearby roof and gave a short evaluation of Gawain before looking toward the highest point of the Holy City, where the throne was located. It seemed like a battle was in full swing there as well.
'There's no more time to delay, so...'
"I'm going all out!"
I released all the flames accumulated in the Fire Dragon Slayer's Sword and the Flame Fire Dragon Sword at once.
'Urgh, it's damn hot...'
The incredibly hot flames from the two holy relics felt like they might swallow me at any moment.
"Phew.... Here I come..."
At my words, Gawain readjusted his grip on Excalibur Galatine and shouted while squeezing out all his remaining magical power.
"Come!!!!"
Soon, Gawain and I lunged at each other. Then, the sound of tearing flesh was heard.
Drip.... Drip.... Drip....
Clang, clatter!
"Gah,...... To think I could not accompany my King in her battle until the very end..... It seems it is my fate as a disloyal knight..."
"What do I care, you potato gorilla..... if you're going to die.... just die already!!!!!!"
Fwoooooosh!!!!!!!!!
The strongest flames, combining the fire condensed to its limit within the holy relics with Skill: Black Dragon's Flame, E.G.O Red Flame Slaughter, Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, and Camael, swallowed Gawain.
'Ah, my King...'
After a while, where the flames subsided, only Gawain's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur Galatine, remained.

[You have acquired the skill: Numeral of the Saint and 300,000 coins as additional rewards.]
[You have achieved an unbelievable feat.]
[You have acquired the Legend-grade Fable, 'One Who Defeated the Knight of the Sun'.]
As I put Excalibur Galatine into my inventory while breathing heavily, system messages popped up.
[The Knight of the Round Table, Tristan, has been defeated.]
[Rewards are distributed to the primary contributors.]
[Primary Contributors: Kang Yuseong, Hassan of the Hundred Personas, Hassan of Serenity, Hassan of the Cursed Arm]
[You have acquired the holy relic: Demonic String Failnaught as a reward.]
[You have acquired the skill: Harp of Healing and 300,000 coins as additional rewards.]
[You have achieved an unbelievable feat.]
[You have acquired the Legend-grade Fable, 'One Who Defeated the Child of Sadness'.]
It seemed the fight against Tristan had finished as well, as the rewards arrived.
Since Lancelot is handling Agravain... should I head over quickly?
With no more obstacles remaining, I ran toward the throne room and fortunately arrived before it was too late.
"Whew.... I'm not too late, am I..."
At my appearance, the faces of my party members, who were tiring under Goddess Rhongomyniad's attacks, brightened with life.
"....Bedivere, now it is your turn.... Come, it is time to correct your mistake..."
".....Yes, I must...."
I nodded at Bedivere's answer, took out Caliburn and Clarent from my inventory, and pointed Caliburn at the Lion King.
"Ugh.... That sword is.... Caliburn...!?"
"Yes, this sword! The legend of King Arthur! The Sword of Selection that announced the beginning, Caliburn!! With this sword, Lion King!! I will strip away all the rights you acquired as King Arthur and deny that you were ever King Arthur!!!!"
[The holy relic Caliburn reacts to your will and resists the power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad.]
[The existence of the 'One Selected by the Sword of Selection' Fable has been completely denied by the Fable Fragment 'Sword of Selection'.]
[The Fable temporarily stops its story.]
[The power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad weakens.]
[The Great Fable 'King Arthur' takes a hit.]
Along with those messages, golden sparks crackled all over the Lion King's body, and Rhongomyniad's light dimmed.
"....Bedivere! You're next!"
"...Indeed, I understand."
Slowly standing up, Bedivere activated the switch for Airgetlám.
"Switch on, Airgetlám...."
At those words, Bedivere's Airgetlám shattered, and a single sword emerged from within, radiating brilliance.
"That..... brilliance is.... E-Excalibur...!?"
The Lion King became even more flustered upon seeing Excalibur and clutched her head.
"That is correct.... This sword is the Holy Sword of the Star that symbolizes King Arthur's reign, Excalibur! With this sword, which symbolizes King Arthur's power and authority, I will cut down and judge you, a King tainted by evil, and strip away all the authority you possess!!"
[The holy relic Excalibur reacts to Bedivere's will and resists the power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad.]
[The existence of the 'Owner of the Holy Sword of the Star' Fable has been completely denied by the Fable Fragment 'Holy Sword of the Star'.]
[The Fable temporarily stops its story.]
[The power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad weakens.]
[The Great Fable 'King Arthur' takes a further hit.]
Golden sparks even more intense than before surged over the Lion King's entire body as Rhongomyniad's light weakened further. Soon, the Lion King fell to her knees.
"I've still got one left!!!"
With that shout, I immediately pointed Clarent at the Lion King.
".....Cla-rent...."
"Yes! This sword is the Sword of Treachery that ended the legend of King Arthur, and furthermore, ended Britain—Clarent! I strike the Lion King with this sword that ended King Arthur's legend!!! That means!! The legend of King Arthur has ended!!!! Specter who has already met your end!! Accept your own conclusion, the end of your story, in this very place!!!"
[The holy relic Clarent reacts to your will and resists the power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad.]
[The Fable 'Battle of Camlann' reveals its existence in response to the Fable Fragment 'Sword of Treachery'.]
[The Fable 'Goddess Rhongomyniad' and the Fable 'Battle of Camlann' collide.]
[A contradiction has occurred due to the collision of Fables.]
[The power of the holy relic Rhongomyniad weakens.]
[The Great Fable 'King Arthur' has taken extreme damage.]
[The Great Fable 'King Arthur' stops its story and falls silent.]
Along with those messages, Rhongomyniad's light went out completely, and it lost its power.
"Urgh, Caliburn.... Excalibur.... Clarent....... Just who, who on earth are you!!!!!!"
Soon, the Lion King immediately prepared Rhongomyniad's True Name Release, and I shouted to Bedivere.
"Let's go!! Bedivere!!! There's only one chance!"
"Yes! Of course!!!"
I immediately summoned two clones, handed Clarent and Caliburn to each, and I myself took out Excalibur (Disposable).
"Before me.... vanish before me entirely!!! Rhongo———myniad!!!!"
"Ex———calibur!!!!!!!"
Simultaneously, the lights of Excalibur and Rhongomyniad collided.
"Uuuuugh.... Haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!"
Crack, crackle, snap!!!
Excalibur (Disposable), which was blocking the light of the Holy Lance, began to develop cracks all over as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
"Run!!!!"
""Yeah!!""
As soon as they barely managed to block the Holy Lance's light, the two clones rushed toward the Lion King.
"Clarent!!!!!!"
"Caliburn!!!!"
The follow-up attacks of Rhongomyniad were blocked by the two swords whose True Names were released simultaneously.
"Go quickly!!!"
"Finish it!!!"
Hearing the shouts of the clones, Bedivere immediately ran toward the Lion King.
To correct his mistake and bring back his King.
To stop Bedivere, Rhongomyniad fired attacks at him, but we stubbornly blocked all those attacks.
And finally....
"My King, my master. Now is the time──no. This time, I shall return this sword to you."
Bedivere returned the Holy Sword to his King, the King of Knights Artoria Pendragon, and quietly vanished with a smile.
