I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Altria blinked in confusion, then she remembered that there was a Master of Mordred here.

I was just thinking about Mordred and accidentally ignored him.

The reason why Lion Jie Jie Li was in such a mess was probably because of the previous collision between her and Mordred, which caused him to be blown away by the aftermath.

Even a magician is still weak in a Servant-level battle, just like Koles before, who almost died in the aftermath of the battle between Artoria and Karna.

"I... I don't know if I am King Arthur, but what is certain is that I am not the King Arthur you know, Mordred."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lion Jie Jie Li, who had already come to Mordred's side, suddenly held down Mordred's hand.

"Wait a minute, Mordred! Don't do anything yet, listen to her explanation first."

Lion Jie Li was also scared. After all, he saw how crazy Modred was just now. If he had not stood far away before, his small body would have become one of the corpses around him. Now he was right next to Modred. If she went crazy again, he would be really dead.

The hand holding the sword was held down by Lion Jie Li. Modred glanced at the other party expressionlessly, making the other party swallow in fear.

The next second, a fist suddenly hit Shizi Jie Jieli's face, leaving a purple bruise on his face.

"Shut up! Do you think I'm some idiot with no brains and only hands?"

But didn't you still take action?

Of course, Shizi Jiejieli only said this in his heart and did not say it out loud, otherwise the next time his fist might not be so light.

However, it can only be said that Lion Jie Jie Li really understood Mordred. If Lion Jie Jie Li had not stopped him, Mordred might have really raised his sword and rushed forward again. It was only after being persuaded that he calmed down and thought carefully.

What she said just now was just a lie she made up to avoid appearing too stupid or embarrassing.

With his arms folded across his chest, Mordred looked at Artoria with a red face, but after seeing the other's indifferent eyes, he subconsciously looked away.

"Then...let me hear your explanation."

So, Artoria brought out the same words she had said to Black before.

"After losing the Holy Sword, King Arthur was endowed with divinity by the Holy Lance, thus becoming a god...?"

This statement was indeed a bit scary, and Shizi Jiejieli was so frightened that he wanted to light a cigarette for himself, but when he reached into his pocket, he found nothing.

Only then did he realize that there was a hole in his pocket and his cigarette case was missing.

Holy shit! Where’s my cigarette?!

Perhaps it disappeared when it was blown away just now. Shizi Jiejieli subconsciously wanted to turn around and look for it, but he remembered that the problem in front of him was countless times more exaggerated than the smoke.

The gods are right before my eyes...

If I report this to the Magic Association, ninety-nine percent of the association's magicians will probably come to Romania the next day...

Mordred, on the other hand, was looking at Altria in front of him, stroking his chin and frowning.

"So... Father, you were turned into this by the spear that stabbed me to death?"

"Because I lost the Holy Sword, my body was able to continue growing, but because of the Holy Lance, I became a god."

Glancing at Mordred, who was circling around her, Altria said calmly, "It's just that the [I] standing here is neither King Arthur holding the holy sword, nor the goddess holding the holy spear. I am just an ordinary Ruler."

"……ordinary?"

You're just an ordinary idiot!

"So, if you're truly just an 'ordinary Ruler,' may I ask... why did you come to us?" Shishi Jiejieli asked, massaging the bridge of his nose. "We haven't broken the rules of the Holy Grail War, have we?"

"I want to meet with your red team."

Altria stared directly at Shizi Jiejieli. Her emerald eyes seemed to be able to see through all the fog and disguises in the world, bringing intense pressure to Shizi Jiejieli. "When I first arrived here, I was attacked by your red team's Lancer. It was..."

"What?! How dare they attack my father? I think they don't want to live anymore!!"

Even though Artoria was attacked, she didn't show any reaction, but Mordred was the one who got furious.

"Follow me! Master! Let's go and crush those bastards who attacked my father! Watch me smash their heads into pieces like watermelons!!"

It was obvious that Modred was not joking, because she even put on her armor and directly grabbed the confused Lion Jie Li's shoulders to drag him away.

“Eh? Wait wait! My shoulder! My shoulder is going to break!!”

"..."

Shaking her head and sighing, Artoria stepped forward to stop Mordred, and also rescued the lion Jiejieli from Mordred's evil hands.

"Thank you, Ruler. Otherwise, my shoulder would have been broken..."

Mordred's strength is B+, so crushing a shoulder or something like that is pretty easy.

"No, I want to apologize to you. Mordred has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"Uh... not too much, right?"

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Lion Jie Jieli's forehead... because after he rescued Altria, Mordred was staring at him with an expression as if he wanted to eat him.

Altria turned her head and saw Mordred looking up at the sky.

Really, he's so unpretentious. After all, Mordred doesn't seem like the type to sit down and enjoy the scenery.

"Okay, I already know that you are not in the same group as those who want to attack me."

"Of course, you saw it too. If I tried to attack you, my Servant would be the first to kill me."

Lion Jie Jieli spread his hands, looking helpless.

"That's because I am the only one who can kill King Arthur, and she can only die at my hands! No one else is qualified!"

Hey, hey, hey, the real culprit is right here. Is it really okay for you to be so blatant?

Lion Jie Jie looked at Artoria with some fear, but found that the other party didn't seem to care much.

Chapter 194 screwed up

"Regarding the Red Army's attack on me, I will go directly to the Red Army's headquarters to inquire about the relevant situation." Artoria said lightly, "However, I do have something to say to Mordred."

"……Eh?"

Mordred was stunned, especially when Altria looked over, Mordred began to panic.

"Wha…what did you say?"

Mordred really didn't know how to face this father who was his father but not the father he was familiar with.

Although she seemed to be no different from before, she was actually panicking inside and had been thinking about how to get along with the father in front of her.

"I am now part of King Arthur, part of the goddess Lungominiad, and other very complex parts..."

Without flinching, Altria stood before Mordred with a hint of oppression. "So, I think, if it were me now... I should... tell you the truth that I didn't say back then."

"Gudu..."

Under Altria's oppressive gaze, Mordred shrank his neck in fear, his wavering eyes showing a bit of panic and anticipation.

What I didn't say to myself at the beginning...

Could it be that... my father is finally willing to affirm me?

Mordred's jade-like eyes grew brighter, and he pricked up his ears, waiting for what Altria would say next.

"Mordred."

However, what Artoria said next shattered her expectations completely and unreasonably, throwing them into the hideous abyss along with the mud and dust.

"You will never become king."

Mordred opened his mouth wide, his lifeless eyes filled with hesitation, fear, and despair.

don't want……

"I've never resented you..."

don't want……

"The reason why you can't become king..."

Say no more!

"It's all because you don't have the talent (magnanimity) of a king."

After saying this, Altria was stunned.

Wait? That's not what I meant to say.

In front of him, Mordred's face was completely covered by shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

However, the increasingly oppressive low pressure surrounding Mordred made Altria feel uneasy.

"Mordred, listen to me..."

"Shut up!!"

Thunder exploded!

When Artoria flew out of the red lightning, a black spot appeared on her arm, and smoke was coming out.

Although it wasn't very severe, Mordred's attack did hurt her.

Looking at the figure wearing a horned helmet bathed in the red lightning, Artoria's face was grim.

“I screwed up…”

She could constantly feel "apology" from the spiritual base in her body. Obviously, it was the owner of this spiritual base, Artoria herself, who caused her to say those words.

Looking at Mordred's face, her mouth started moving on its own...even Artoria herself couldn't control it.

No wonder the relationship between Altria and her subordinates became increasingly worse during her lifetime, and there was even a saying that "the king does not understand human nature."

However, does King Arthur really not understand human nature?

The truth was actually quite the opposite, and King Arthur understood it...it was just that she couldn't express it well.

She only understood this after fusing with Altria's spiritual base.

It is precisely because she understands her own mistakes that Altria feels sorry for Mordred rather than hatred.

This is why she wanted to ease the relationship between the two. She believed that as long as she could tell Modred what Altria was really thinking, the misunderstanding between them would be resolved.

Then the first step went wrong...

"Alas... this matter is more difficult than I thought..."

Not far away, the ferocious red thunder became more and more intense.

Around Mordred, floor tiles and tombstones were constantly shattered into ashes by the rioting lightning snakes.

The dark night was illuminated by the crimson lightning, and even the stars in the sky hid out of fear.

"I see... Do you hate me that much? Arthur!"

Mordred's voice, as if she was suppressing something, came through the horned helmet. Even without seeing her face, one could imagine her gritting her teeth just by listening to the sound.

"Even after death, after becoming a Servant, you refused to let me go. You even became a Ruler and came looking for me specifically. Is this just to seek revenge on me?!"

"That's right... That's right... After all, I'm the rebellious knight who overturned the Great Britain you protected and destroyed everything... It's normal for you to hate me!"

"How ridiculous that I had such thoughts about you before... How ridiculous!!"

As if in response to her anger, the red lightning around her became more violent, and even her figure was almost invisible.

Fortunately, Shizi Jiejieli saw that the situation was not good and ran away in advance, otherwise he would have been buried in the sea of ​​thunder.

Lion Jie Jie Li also considered whether to use the Command Seals, but Mordred's [Anti-Magic] level was very high, so if he wanted to use the Command Seals, he would have to use at least two.

Even if the two Command Spells persuaded him, the anger in Mordred's heart did not disappear, but became even stronger, and he might even be killed.

So, after thinking about it, Lion Jiejieli decided to wait and see what Ruler would do.

Altria wanted to explain: "It's not like that, Mordred, I just..."

"Go to hell! Arthur!!"

The exploding lightning turned into propulsion, and Mordred roared and rushed towards Altria, raising the magic sword with both hands and slashing down with all his might.

Faced with this angry attack, Artoria did not dare to be negligent and put up a protective shield to try to block the attack.

"Boom!"

The aftermath mixed with red lightning spread in all directions. The ground began to sink with the two people as the center. Hideous cracks spread in all directions like a spider web, and lightning snakes kept jumping.

The magic sword that gathered lightning slashed at the protective shield that was flowing with golden light, but cut it off.
