Chapitre 43: Chapter 43: RIP Sword of Selection
I was heading back to where Artoria settled after her 7thbattle on a horse.
Battle with Yu Mei-ren raised many questions for me to find.
How Consort Yu was able to get information from the other side of the planet? Why did she want to steal it? And what does it mean to reunite with his beloved husband? Is time traveling possible with Chastiefol?
Elaine's answer on this topic was, "I am simply a spirit with a designated function. Time traveling is not possible with my current analysis of Chastiefol but its full capabilities are unknown even to me."
I wanted to learn many things from Yu but she was not a human but an elemental. I was unable to perform the memory reading function on Yu since she was not human. I didn't even think that she was killed like that since elementals who, upon receiving a human appearance and then physically killed, turned into wraith who will be reborn in another 1000 years. The only way to kill them is to let their spirit burn and they exhaust themselves.
Other questions that were tingling in my mind were related to the 'world'. The throne of heroes is unknown in the current era, only Merlin and I know of it.
The will of the 'world' that summons those heroic spirits was to deal with cases that are a disaster to humanity.
But I don't think that I have committed any sin to attract the attention of the 'world'.
One reason could be that I am from outside of this universe that like a bug in a program but I am not harming anyone here.
"I have to get stronger."
To put it bluntly, I didn't have much time to deal with finding answers.
Instead of questioning others, it would be better to become strong.
From Elaine, I found out that I could use 'True Spirit Forms' of Chastiefol if I manage to obtain divinity.
If you describe Chastiefol's regular forms versatile then their 'True Spirit Forms' could be called a greater version that makes their power several times stronger.
I still didn't know if I would face consequences like King but it was a matter of other time.
There are also 'New True Spirit Forms' that just makes King master of long-ranged weapon master where he could use all forms of Chastiefol at the same time without any drawback and with 100 times better effectiveness than regular forms.
However, Elaine didn't reveal to me anything about how I could get 'New True Spirit Forms'. Although she didn't tell me, I knew that I have to leave my human side and has to turn into a complete fairy.
I was also not worried about it since I have already set my goals and the parameters were certain. I just have to find ways and encash the chance.
Anyway, I soon entered the city where I could see knights celebrating another victory of King Arthur. However, the atmosphere turned gloomy when I entered the castle.
I found several Knights of the Round Table looking tense. From their looks, I could feel that something has gone wrong.
They were praising King Arthur meaning that Artoria was alive but they were not looking delighted in any way.
I then found Brother Kay who was reading a document. As a senior knight but not as strong as Gawain or Lancelot, he was mostly in charge of managing the camps and looking after odd works like arranging food for knights or assessing their needs. Bedivere worked under him.
I tapped his shoulders to get his attention.
"Oh hey, buddy. Where have you been?"
He was happy to see his brother okay since it was the first time that I was not with the knights on this voyage. He also must have realized that I took a troublesome request where I went alone to deal with.
"Sup' Brother Kay. Why the atmosphere looked so tense? Merlin is executed after cheating with some duke's wife?"
"I wish if that could happen. Nearly all the girls I met always mention their time with that incubus. I wish I could strangle his neck." Brother Kay sighed then made a sad look and whispered, "Actually you should meet her- I mean King Arthur. She has been mourning for quite a bit."
Brother Kay left after telling me about her.
Artoria only mourns when I cut her dessert.
'But I left a month's of ration for her to eat.'
I remembered a left her a magic plate-like slab that could summon a single of her favorite dish every other night. Did she break my gift?
The possibility was there.
I continued my way towards where Artoria was sitting and found Merlin- no he found me with an expression that was telling me to know something important.
"Einar, I will simply cut down to chase, Caliburn is broke."
"What!?"
"Yes, the thing is…"
Merlin then explained the situation. Artoria met a strong opponent in her last battle who gave her a good fight however the enemy general was using a cursed weapon that, although Artoria emerged victoriously, was successfully able to damage Caliburn which broke in another light hit.
"This is odd…"
"Yeah, I find it odd too…"
Merlin was also confused.
However, I knew the reason. At that time, I was unaware that Morgan had already turned into a witch, now called 'Morgan le fay', and was attempting to dethrone Artoria at any cost.
It is due to Morgan's mischief that Artoria lost her favorite weapon. And that cursed weapon would later be known as Clarent.
My relationship with Morgan was very harmonious. We still treated each other as close friends so the possibility of Morgan involving in that act didn't cross my mind.
"Einar, it is time for King Arthur to obtain his rightful sword." Merlin was now serious and indicating his intention.
I nodded since I knew that he was asking me to escort Artoria towards the lady of the lake and get her Excalibur, the sword of victory.
I then silently entered the study and closed the door.
I saw Artoria sighing with her head on the desk and a broken Caliburn in front. The Caliburn was broken from the tip to few inches down and looked quite ugly.
I could feel her grieve since I once also broke the Chastiefol spear when I was testing its capabilities but thankfully it could repair itself instantly.
"Einar!"
Artoria saw me and jumped into my arms and taking me to her embrace. She was still taller than me by the way but not much now.
"I missed your butt a lot Artoria~" I smiled while rubbing her ample yet sturdy ass. She also didn't mind my perverted nature since she was quite open to my advances.
"Einar, I-"
She wanted to say something but I shut her lips with mine.
I knew she would say something idiotic like 'I am not fit to be king', or 'Why I am so weak?'. She would have received a punch from me if she had said that.
After enjoying smooch for few minutes, we separated from each other with a single string of saliva hanging between our lips.
"Better?"
"Hmm, better."
The kiss works similarly to Snickers when we are feeling down and 'a little hungry'. We have already kissed several times by the way. However, we have set a timer as not to get horny and take a further step.
"Don't worry Artoria. You have to get a better and stronger weapon." I smiled and held her hand to prepare for our journey.
"Really?!"
"Yeah, now don't ask further and come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"To meet your mother-in-law."
