Mordred's life experience is very twists and turns.
She is an artificial human created by King Arthur's sister Morgan, who transformed King Arthur's charm and collected his genetic information and placed it in her own ovaries.
Therefore, it is very appropriate for Mordred to call Artoria his father. Her birth was also a conspiracy carried out by Morgan out of jealousy to end King Arthur's rule.
Despite such a filthy life experience, Mordred deeply admired his father, King Arthur, and was delighted that he was the best heir to the throne because he had perfectly replicated his father's strength and talent.
It wasn't until she was flatly rejected by King Arthur, believing that King Arthur was discriminating against her origins, that she was so angry that she launched a rebellion, which ultimately ended King Arthur's rule.
But until the last moment, or at all times, she was not longing for King Arthur's recognition and longing for King Arthur.
Being denied face to face again, even the figure he admired the most denied himself. Mordred's anger made Mordred instantly lose his mind.
Regardless of the secret principles of the Holy Grail War, on this sunny day on the street, she put on her armor and released her magic power with all her strength!
The ground beneath her feet was instantly shattered by her, and fierce winds whipped the sky. Pedestrians in the distance cast their eyes in astonishment and saw two short knights in armor facing each other.
Their figures are very close, except that one has her face covered by armor, while the other is a girl with a more noble and gorgeous posture.
"...making a movie?"
"Where are the fans and cameras hidden?"
"Hey, how did you create this special effect? And why have you never heard that we are going to make a movie here..."
During the discussion, Artoria solemnly said to Ji Xing: "Master, step back."
And the next moment, the figure of the father and son pulled out the afterimage, and clashed their weapons together in the open space a little ahead!
In an instant, sand and rocks flew.
A strong tornado whirlpool arose from the place where the two collided, tearing the ground apart in the distance. A street lamp more than ten meters away made an unpleasant groan and fell to the ground after being overwhelmed!
The splashing sand and stones hit the face, causing waves of stinging pain. The passers-by who were watching from a distance finally "awoke" and ran away screaming.
Then the two swords collided at high speed.
Facing her 'son', Artoria did not use tricks like the Wind King's Barrier, and faced the enemy with the Sword of Victory in an upright manner.
Mordred's weapon is an ominous-looking dark red sword named 'The Brilliant King's Sword'. It was originally the only sword in King Arthur's arsenal that could rival the Sword of Victory.
, a silver that shines brighter than any silver, symbolizing the inheritance of the throne.
But because Mordred was wronged and caused fatal injuries to King Arthur, the blade was entangled with hatred and distortion.
The collision of the two swords is full of a sense of fate. They are also each other's most familiar enemies.
"you……"
"Stop fighting!"
Ji Xing, who had retreated a distance in panic, shouted eagerly, "Sister Mordred, are you really a Heroic Spirit too? Let's have a good chat first and stop fighting!"
Arturia was almost distracted and struck by the sword, but the furious Mordred naturally ignored her.
Just when Ji Xing was "pretending to step forward," an arm suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed him, dragging him into the alley next to him.
This caused the two swordsmen to finally pause for a moment, and then the battle started again.
"Hey, do you want your life?" The one who dragged Ji Xing away was naturally Shishi Jie. He said solemnly: "I didn't even dare to go up and stop them."
"...Mr. Shishijie, actually I guessed that you were Masters and Heroic Spirits after I learned about the Holy Grail War from Tohsaka-san, but you clearly saw the Command Seal and didn't do anything to me. You must have other ideas.
?Why are you starting to fight now?" Ji Xing said urgently.
"Ah, you are so bold to have guessed this and not brought other heroic spirits back." Lion Jie sighed: "But don't today's high school students learn foreign history? You know that the person you summoned is King Arthur, right?
Never heard of the name Mordred?"
"I... I just heard her call Saber 'Father'. It seemed like she had heard it before, but it seemed like she had never heard it before. And the heroic spirits are different from the history we know, right? Shouldn't King Arthur be a man?" Ji Xing
ask.
Huh? That makes sense!…Bullshit.
As expected, I don’t know about the rebel knights.
Alas, how should I put this?
My servant is the unlucky son who betrayed your servant and caused the destruction of your servant's country?
Shishi Jie felt like his head was getting bigger, and what was more important was the battle that was happening in front of him.
Suddenly, we became the first group to start a battle with the red team, and we did so in front of a large crowd. If we continued, we didn’t know how many people would be attracted to the surrounding area, it would be too dangerous.
There are ways to resolve the battle as quickly as possible. The guy in front of me trusts me a little too much, but killing him right here after just two meals is a bit too much, not to mention that Mordred may not be willing for me to come.
Intervene.
The same goes for using command spells.
Can we just wait here for them to decide the winner? Lion Jie has absolute confidence in Mordred because there is a gap between the masters.
In fact, after the initial collision, the situation between father and son, who were fighting increasingly fiercely, gradually became tilted.
Being able to die together in Camlan's Hill, the basic abilities of father and son are very similar. King Arthur might have been slightly better originally, but the gap in magic power supply means that Mordred's data is ahead in all aspects at this moment.
You can win, but... do you want to win?
Lion Jie was deep in thought, explaining the history to Ji Xing in a low voice while watching the battle unfold.
I saw the 'Devil Sword' swinging widely in Mordred's hand. It looked disorganized and crazy, but it followed instinct and was the most efficient and ideal killing method.
It doesn't look like a person wielding a sword, but more like a natural disaster like a tornado. It is naturally accompanied by the destruction of surrounding streets and the unbroken cracks of buildings. Any sophisticated technology can be used in this kind of cruelty where taking the opponent's life is the first priority.
Even with swordsmanship, it seems that he will be defeated with overwhelming force!
On the other hand, King Arthur, the legendary King of Knights, is outstanding in his sword skills. This is obviously because he has received rigorous training and has integrated his sword skills into his bones and blood. Even the natural disaster-like tornado cannot destroy him.
But she kept defending and retreating.
Although his expression was always calm and serious after every attack, Shishi Jie clearly saw the difficulty, which was an absolute gap in strength.
Finally, after about 100 moves, Artoria's sword blade was swung away, and Mordred's sword edge suddenly slashed her away!
A small amount of blood was spilled, and King Arthur was shot backward onto the Weiyuan River, swinging dozens of meters away.
Bang! Mordred's sword blade was inserted into the concrete floor, and his eyes with a fierce light turned to the direction of Lion Jie and Ji Xing, and he spat.
"Ah, disappointing!"
Obviously, she was talking about the power gap between the two parties caused by Ji Xing, but maybe because of Ji Xing's two meals, she only complained about this.
When he looked back at King Arthur, he found that there were no wounds on the other person who had climbed up from the water. He was slightly startled, with excitement in his eyes.
"Is that so? Have you found Avalon? Arthur! In this case, I won't be bullying you. Come on, father! Let me end your sense of nothingness just like I ended your meaningless kingdom.
A boring wish for the Holy Grail!"
Arturia was still holding the sword expressionlessly, but at this moment, the voice of Ji Xing's consciousness transmission suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Do as I say."
"...Master?"
Then she heard Ji Xing say something special, something that suited her heart but was difficult for her to say.
After a pause, she repeated: "Mordred, you still don't understand. The king became the brightest gem in order to shine on others, not just because of his position as the king."
Mordred paused.
"You don't have the king's grace. I didn't teach you seriously because of your background, and I have never put the blame on you." The following words were added by King Arthur himself: "The demise of Britain was entirely due to my lack of ability.
That’s why I hope to use the Holy Grail to go back in time.”
"cut--!!"
After three seconds of silence, Mordred raised her magic sword high: "What gem? The king should be the king, the most shining king!"
The thick helmet covering his face was divided into two parts and integrated with the armor.
Then the blazing magic power dyed the surrounding air with blood, and a bloody aurora rose above the sword's edge, which was ominous and gloomy.
"Hey, you can't, right?" Lion Jie's expression suddenly changed: "You want to use the Noble Phantasm here?"
When he saw King Arthur on the river raising his sword with a tense face, he became even more serious: "Is the same with the other party... But can her magic power really support her to fight against Mordred like this?"
The next moment, he noticed something strange around him, looked sideways, and was startled.
I saw the veins on the forehead of the young man beside me bulging unnaturally, and unknowingly sweat was dripping on him. His body was tense as if he was constipated, but what he 'pulled out' was the magic power obviously wrapped around him!
What? He increased his own magic power and increased King Arthur's magic power supply?!
How is this done?!
As an experienced and knowledgeable magician, Shishi Jie knows several magic tricks with similar effects, but they all require external assistance.
How can you increase your magic power out of thin air?!
After thinking about it for a while, he got an unbelievable but only reasonable answer.
origin.
If attributes are the fundamental element that determines magic, then even more profoundly, the fundamental element that determines a person's existence is the origin!
It is something a person is born with, or an attribute of the soul. Most of them are similar to magic attributes, but a few have very special origins that deviate from magic attributes.
For example, the origin of Fate's protagonist Shirou Emiya is a "sword", so his magic attribute has become a very special "sword attribute".
Anyone who can master their own origin will basically make achievements in magic in the future.
Even a senior magician like Shishi Jiejieli didn't understand his own origin, so he couldn't believe such a judgment.
'There is indeed an example of a low-level magician accidentally discovering the origin and even being able to use it. If this is the origin, what will his origin be?'
According to the magic information I saw at his house last night, he should have water attributes.
Water...the source of life.
Is attribute the concept of ‘life’?
Could the effect of using it be something as simple and crude as increasing the extent of overdraft of vitality and accelerating the production of magic power? It looks very similar!
After completing the analysis in a blink of an eye, he saw the young man opposite with a smile: "This is something I learned when I was seven years old, and I couldn't use it skillfully until some time ago. I can't hold back King Arthur, Mr. Lion Jie, I believe you
You shouldn't take this opportunity to sneak attack me."
"...You taught me a lesson, little brother. That night when I was seven years old?" Lion Jie exhaled melancholy.
In the Holy Grail War, no one can be underestimated. The person chosen by the Holy Grail should naturally have some ability, or at least potential.
If what happened today had not happened and I had ignored the boy in front of me, I might have been beaten hard at some point.
After this moment of delay, the momentum of the father and son in the distance has reached its peak.
The golden light and blood-colored light shone brightly, making the atmosphere seem to let out bursts of screams.
"Rebellion against Duanli's father!" "Ex——calibur!!"
With the overwhelming roar, golden light and red lightning rushed towards each other, and the two rays of light with the purpose of pure destruction devoured each other!
As it passed, the ground was split into tracks like butterfly wings, and the river in the distance was also cut into pieces. When the two colors of gold and red collided, the brilliance of the avalanche seemed to announce the end of the world!
It wasn't until half a minute later that the ever-expanding light finally faded away, softened, and gradually disappeared into nothingness like dust.
King Arthur was still standing firmly on the rushing river, and Mordred was also standing firmly on the ground, but they both took a slight breather.
Only the 100 meters between the two were destroyed into a deep ditch, which led the water of the Weiyuan River here.
The shop signs in the nearby blocks were blown away, and most of the windows were cracked and broken, creating a desolate scene after the war.
Lion Jie and Ji Xing, who were hiding close to the wall, dared to poke their heads out. Seeing this, Lion Jie let out a sigh and quickly used his senses to send a message to Mordred: "Hey, calm down?
We've gone too far.
This guy also has a trick in reserve. The battle between you and King Arthur should not be decided in three or two minutes. The other servants must be rushing here, and you don’t want to be interrupted or wait for this.
Didn't the chef's coma from excessive consumption bring him victory?"
Mordred gritted his teeth slightly and made another low squeak. Just when she was struggling, a sudden change occurred.
It was an arrow shot from a long distance, and the target was Ji Xing, and the first person to react was Lion Jie. He instinctively pushed out his right hand, pushing Ji Xing away at the cost of his own arm being scratched, and let the
The arrow banged into the soil!
"Master?!"*2
The next moment, the two Sabers whispered at the same time. Mordred dodged directly to Lion Zed and said angrily: "Are you okay?"
"Ah, it's just a skin injury." Lion Jie looked into the distance: "The one who came here to kill the chef seems to be our Archer. But judging from the trajectory and power of the arrow, it seems that he doesn't mind blowing me up.
Injured or even shot to death."
"That bastard—" Mordred seemed to have found a way to vent his anger and go down the steps. He jumped towards the direction where the arrow came from and chased after him.
Lion Jie was startled and looked at King Arthur who was welcoming Ji Xing. He twitched the corner of his mouth, moved his arms, and turned around to leave: "Brother Chef, take care, we will probably come back. After all, you have taken us in."
food and beverage expenses.”
After saying this, he looked for a corner and hurried away, leaving only the dilapidated scene and Ji Xing.
Arturia had subconsciously cared about her master just now, but when she came to Ji Xing's side, she remembered what was going on with her master.
Looking at Ji Xing's sweat-stained face, she said again: "Master, are you okay? When you talk about using appropriate methods to increase the supply of magic power, is this the method you are referring to?"
"How is it, is it appropriate? My power of origin." Ji Xing asked with a smile.
Arturia was speechless, and after a moment of silence she continued: "I'm sorry for causing you extra trouble, Mordred..."
"He is quite a nice person, and so is the Master."
In fact, the relationship and conflicts between King Arthur and Mordred can be summed up by Aizen's words - longing is the emotion furthest from understanding.
Mordred admired his father deeply, but could not understand his father's heart.
"As long as we face it properly, trouble may not turn into good things, but then we have to face another trouble first," Ji Xing said.
Artoria was startled.
Ji Xing pointed to his ear and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear? The police are here. My character is not suitable for using hypnotic magic that is too skilled."
