Chapter 1462: Mordred
Among all kinds of legends, in terms of popularity, the legend of King Arthur could be said to be one of the most popular in the world.
King Arthur was one of the most legendary characters and was also a great king of ancient Britain. He ruled the existence of the Knights of the round tables, the group of legendary knights, and it could be said that he was the perfect king, even in the eyes of future generations.
Perhaps, in the UK, there were still a lot of people who believed that King Arthur wasn't dead and he would return someday.
In the legend of King Arthur, there were a lot of popular characters and one of them was Mordred.
Mordred was a member of Knights of the Round Table and he was under the command of King Arthur directly. He was also the heir of King Arthur, and he was also known as the son of King Arthur.
Mordred might not be as good as Lancelot, Gawain, Kay, or other knights on the Knight of the Round Table, however, he was the one who led the rebellion in ancient Britain and gave a fatal blow to King Arthur, leading to his death.
The reason for the rebellion was quite simple and that was because King Arthur didn't acknowledge Mordred to inherit the throne, even though Mordred was his child.
However, in this Holy Grail War, Mordred wasn't "he", but rather "she", her gender was a female rather than a male.
Mordred had a huge obsession to become a king, and she would do anything to do it, even killing Vlad III, who was known as the King of Wallachian. It was as if her existence was born to kill any kings in this world.
In terms of strength, Mordred might not be as good as the immortal Siegfried, but as a Saber Class of servants, her strength was enough to call her, one of the strongest servants in this Holy Grail War.
While Jeanne was thinking about these things, an enemy suddenly appeared in front of them.
"That is..?"
"Fish?"
Jeanne and Mordred frowned at the same time.
The enemy that appeared in front of them was a magical fish that Semiramis had summoned.
A group of magical fish suddenly appeared in front of them, and the moment they saw Jeanne and Mordred, their eyes suddenly became red, violent, and bloodthirsty, roaring like a beast that was hungry, and leaping toward both Jeanne and Mordred with their fangs and claws.
"Hey, is that the poisonous woman's pet?"
Mordred didn't hide her disdain, looking at a group of disgusting fishes, and asking that question directly to Jeanne.
"Yes."
Jeanne simply nodded.
Mordred snorted, looking at a group of fishes, and said, "If you don't move then I will deal with all of them." When the words fell, she rushed out without waiting for Jeanne to respond.
*BOOOM!*
With a heavy stomp on the ground, red lightning flashed under Mordred's feet.
This phenomenon was caused by the "Mana Burst" skill that was owned by Mordred.
Using "Mana Burst", Mordred's speed increased and before she reached a group of fishes, her armor changed, covering all of her body, including her face with a bullhead-like helmet.
"Die!"
Mordred raised her sword, screaming, and rushed out directly.
The group of sacred fish opened its mouths that were full of fangs and were about to eat Mordred whole.
However, in an instant...
*Splash!*
Red lightning flashed across and cut off the head of the group of sacred fishes.
A large amount of blood splattered directly, staining the walls and the ground with red color.
"DIE!!!"
Mordred laughed happily, facing a group of sacred fishes that rushed one after another toward her, the sword in her hand was covered with red lightning, killing all the fishes, causing the red sword to become redder.
*Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!*
Amidst the sound of meat slashing, a group of corridors was covered in blood, creating a pool of blood, staining the corridor with red color.
Mordred didn't care about anything, killing a group of fishes happily, without care of anything, like a beast on the top of a food chain.
The sword on her hand was like a violent tornado, and unlike a knight who used superb and beautiful swordsmanship to kill their enemies, Mordred was an incarnation of violence, like a thug that beat up people crazily.
But because of this, Mordred was called the rebellious knight.
The sword in her hand was something that she used to kill her father, and at this moment, she used this sword to kill everything in front of her, ignoring the existence of the saint behind her.
In the last slashing sound, the last sacred fish fell, and the armor on Mordred's body was completely dyed red.
Putting the sword on her shoulder, Mordred snorted and showed a bored expression under her helmet.
"How boring."
Such a battle was unable to satisfy Mordred and she wanted a more exciting battle.
On the other hand, Jeanne only watched this scene silently and after, Mordred ended the battle, she spoke.
"Since the Assassin of Red has summoned that group of sacred fishes, it proves that we're not that far from where she is."
Hearing Jeanne's words, Mordred nodded in agreement.
"From here, I can smell an unpleasant smell. It is definitely the smell of the poisonous woman. I can smell it even from a long distance. I wonder how many days that woman hasn't taken a shower?" Mordred took off her helmet and showed her nose that was wrinkled, showing her disgust toward Semiramis.
'Does she smell like that?'
Jeanne was speechless but didn't say anything.
Mordred and Jeanne didn't stop moving, after clearing all the group of the sacred fishes, and continued to move forward.
Along the way, another sacred fish swarmed toward them and launched an attack.
In front of this group of sacred fish, Jeanne didn't even have time to shoot since Mordred brandished her sword, killing all of them without leaving anything to Jeanne.
Then before long as Jeanne said, the end of the corridor appeared before them.
A magnificent and huge door appeared in front of the two of them.
"Finally!"
Mordred yelled, speeding up, and rushed toward the door.
*BANG!*
As the muffled sound rang, the huge door blasted off, causing the red lightning to fly around, like a poisonous snake, on the ground and the walls.
Jeanne didn't say anything and only let out a long sigh, looking at how rude Mordred was. She suddenly understood the feeling of Kairi at that moment.
Mordred turned a deaf ear to Jeanne's reaction and then slowed down, carrying her sword and walking slowly into the door.
In the next second, sultry laughter sounded in front of them.
"What a special way to say hello, Saber of Red."
That voice made Mordred stop in her footsteps.
Jeanne, who followed from behind, also stopped abruptly, raised her head, and looked forward.
In front of Jeanne and Mordred, there was a huge throne that arched high with statues and steps, and on the top of it, there was an Assyrian Empress, sitting lazily, with her hand on one of her cheeks, showing a beautiful smile to an uninvited guest.
"Even the Ruler is here? You're a lot faster than I thought."
Semiramis calmly faced the incoming enemies.
That lofty posture made Jeanne frown and Mordred felt uncomfortable.
However, at this moment without waiting for Mordred to attack, Jeanne took a step forward which caused Mordred to feel confused since Jeanne's aura was somewhat different.
"Assassin of Red!"
Jeanne looked at Semiramis and asked, "Where's Haru?!" She was quite worried about Haru since after they arrived at this floating garden, he was suddenly teleported which caused her heart to feel worried, especially when both of her and Shinobu knew that Haru was quite weak against women.
In response, Semiramis smiled and said, "He's dead."
