Chapter 70: The Confused Sun King
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 03:01:05 +0000 UTC【 Yearning for the king to rest, Sir Bedivere began his journey of atonement!
After wandering for over 1,500 years, Sir Bedivere arrived at Jerusalem, which had turned into a desert due to special circumstances, along with the sudden appearance of the Holy City.
On the road, he saw crumbling cities, starving people everywhere, and former comrades who had become cold and heartless.
“You are Arash Kamangir, aren’t you?” After constant inquiries, Sir Bedivere found Arash eating something!
“I never expected to see the face of this great Persian hero!”
“I am Lucius!” Using the alias Lucius, Sir Bedivere began conversing with him.
“I heard that you know a lot about that suddenly appearing Holy City! I would like to ask you for advice!”
Arash put down the food in his hand and did not answer his question, but instead turned to look around at the people and said to him: “Here, you can see the colorful world! People who are discouraged, desperate people! People who have forgotten the future.”
Arash widened his eyes and approached Sir Bedivere, scrutinizing him, and continued speaking: “Your face shows signs of death! It’s the kind of expression that yearns to tread the path of destruction.”
“You carry a heavy burden and haven’t raised your head in a long time.” This statement points directly to the silver armor on Sir Bedivere's right arm. 】

“Isn’t this the legendary great hero Arash?”
Waver Velvet couldn't help but exclaim. With his extensive knowledge, he naturally understood the exploits of this great hero!
The great hero of ancient Persia, who ended the more than sixty-year war between Persia and Turkey, bringing peace and tranquility to the people of both nations, was a savior!
【 Afterwards, Arash told Sir Bedivere everything he knew about the sudden appearance of the Holy City!
After a brief conversation, Sir Bedivere turned and left, intending to cross the desert no matter what. He had to complete his salvation! All of this was because of his fault...
Seeing the starving refugees scattered everywhere, Sir Bedivere felt tormented in his heart.
It was all because he failed...
This was an error he must rectify, and it was also the trial he had to undertake!
Reaching out to grip his right arm tightly, he said with regret: “I don’t have the right to call myself a knight anymore!”
“I am a masterless Servant, Lucius!”】
.....
~Type-Moon World in the Fourth Holy Grail War Wordline~
“Sir Bedivere, my loyal knight…!”
Artoria didn’t understand what her loyal knight had experienced.
She knew that being called a knight was an honor, yet he admitted that he wasn’t worthy of the title. What mistake had Sir Bedivere made?
~Throne of Heroes~
“Masterless wanderer?!”
Sir Gawain seemed to recall that Sir Bedivere wasn’t present here either. Indeed, based on Sir Bedivere’s life achievements, he wouldn’t qualify for the Throne of Heroes!
Tristan’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly said:
“We’ll know the reason if we continue watching...!”
“How infuriating! To so easily abandon the title of a knight...”
Mordred said angrily.
【 Walking through the desert, Sir Bedivere suddenly sensed a familiar presence and immediately turned towards the source of the aura!
Chaldea’s Fujimaru Ritsuka met Nitocris, the Egyptian Pharaoh under Hassan of the Hundred Faces!
However, she mistakenly considered him an enemy and summoned the Sphinx, known as the pinnacle of Phantasmal beasts.
“Sphinx!” Looking at the enormous Sphinx statue before them, Mash trembled slightly, holding her shield with a face full of anxiety: “In this situation, it seems impossible to fight this divine beast!” 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Isn’t this Mash, who blocked the Genesis of the Creator God Nega-Genesis?”
“How could she be so powerless?”
“It seems to be what happened before the event in the last video; they appear so immature!”
【 “No, please look up. No matter what kind of divine beast, it cannot destroy your shield.”
At the moment when Mash was filled with unease, a loud voice rang out, directed more towards her as if addressing her specifically:
“Moreover, your justice is correct, so you will surely win this battle born from misunderstanding!”
“Who... Who is it?” The startled magical queen, Nitocris, immediately changed her expression, looking utterly shocked!
Sir Bedivere emerges from the golden sand, refusing to reveal his true name: “I have no reason to declare my identity, so you may consider me an enemy.”
Then he turned his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka, slowly saying: “You are Fujimaru Ritsuka, right?”
“Nice to meet you. I am Lucius! A masterless Servant!”
“I apologize for suddenly joining your conversation. If possible, please allow me to lend you some strength, and feel free to use my sword,” Sir Bedivere said apologetically to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Facing the sudden appearance of Sir Bedivere, who refused to reveal his true name, the magic queen Nitocris wasted no time in ordering the divine beast Sphinx to attack!
Upon hearing the command, the Sphinx roared angrily, stirring up a massive sandstorm in the desert! A terrifying beam of energy also emitted from its eerie face!
“Switch On - Airgetlám!!”
Facing the incoming attack, Sir Bedivere swung his right hand, and his arm emitted a faint golden glow, resembling a sharp sword as he slashed forward!
“Boom ——”
The yellow torrent of magical energy devoured the attack, its momentum unrelenting as it swallowed the Sphinx whole!
The powerful shockwave blew away the surrounding sandstorm, exploding past it, and the Sphinx disappeared on the spot, leaving behind only a large crater.
“That... That knight’s right arm...?! No doubt, it’s the brilliance of the Silver Arm!” Seeing this scene, Da Vinci suddenly realized! 】
......
~Type-Moon World, Throne of Heroes~
“No!... It’s not just that!”
Sir Gawain was somewhat confused. He knew Sir Bedivere’s weapon!
The shimmering silver arm, according to legend, was cultivated by the Celtic war god Nuada to compensate for the loss of his right arm... But!
The golden glow that just emanated was undoubtedly the radiance of the holy sword! It was filled with the radiance of hope!
“That’s the power of the holy sword!”
Mordred said confidently, very familiar with everything about the king!
“How could he possess such power?”
Clearly, among the twelve knights of the round table, he was relatively weaker, and he shouldn’t be able to wield the king’s holy sword!
~In the inner sea of the planet, in the furthest tower~
“Uh...”
Merlin had a bad premonition because he recognized traces of his own doing in it. Perhaps it was something he did...
~Type-Moon World, Both 4th & 5th Holy Grail War Worldline~
Both Artorias knew it was the light of the holy sword. Precisely because she knew, she was even more puzzled... Could it be that Sir Bedivere hadn’t returned the holy sword?! Was this the sin he spoke of?!
【Da Vinci was confident that she hadn’t mistaken it. It was indeed a divine-level weapon!!
The ancient Egyptian magic queen, Nitocris, frantically searched for the vanished Sphinx, flustered:
“Aoa oa... Pharaoh’s divine beast?!... Ozymandias-sama entrusted me with this precious divine beast, which was... completely destroyed!?”
“I’m sorry! If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have been able to calm the situation!” Sir Bedivere apologized.
Afterward, he explained what he had witnessed to the magic queen, Nitocris. They truly were saved by Chaldea’s group!
Regaining composure, Nitocris recalled her panicked experience and suddenly blushed: “Very... Thank you, travelers... Sorry, because of my impulsiveness...”
“By the way, I suddenly want to drink water.” Fujimaru Ritsuka made a mischievous request!
“Drink... Water? Then let’s go to the nearby oasis...” Nitocris nodded, thinking it was a minor request!
“And I’d like to eat some fruits too!” He then added another request.
Not finished yet, Da Vinci supplemented with: “Also, I want to bathe... and have a good rest!”
After all, due to the misunderstanding, they nearly annihilated their group, so it wasn’t easy to calm down!
Since they were previously at fault, how could they refuse these requests? They could only smile awkwardly.
“Alright!” 】
.....

~In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot~
Outside the video, Nitocris wished she could strangle herself:
“It’s over! I have no face to see anyone. The dignity of the Pharaoh has been tarnished by me!”
【 Afterward, upon learning that the group intended to visit the Great Temple, Sir Bedivere revealed a smile: “Then I shall take my leave here. May your journey be smooth.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sir Bedivere didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave.
Later, the group who arrived at the Great Temple also encountered the Sun King— Ozymandias!
His golden pupils looked down upon the group, exuding an air of majesty and dignity. Right now, he was recounting how he reclaimed the Holy Grail from the Crusaders.
But while speaking, his head suddenly fell off from above.】
Everyone outside the video was terrified!!
