Chapter 58: Everyone, Come with Me!!

Though Ryunosuke Uryu had been dealt with, he had used his Command Seals before his death. The enhanced sea monster had grown even larger and was rapidly approaching the shore.

Arthur hadn’t expected Ryunosuke Uryu to use the Command Seals! The situation had turned dire. Arthur had even drawn Excalibur, ready to blast the monster away, but with the Command Seal enhancement, a single strike might not suffice. So, he sheathed Excalibur and instead drew another sword!

Meanwhile, the battle raged on. Jeanne continued her relentless assault on the sea monster, but no matter how fierce her attacks, the creature’s power—and regeneration—had intensified under the Command Seal’s effect.

"If I use La Pucelle, it should work… but…"

#La Pucelle
- Original Text: ????? (?????)
- Rank: C (Before Activation) / EX (After Activation)
- Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
- Range: ???
- Maximum Targets: ???

[Description]
A holy sword manifesting flames, with the dying words "Lord, I entrust myself to you" as its activation incantation. It is the conceptual crystallization of Jeanne’s execution by burning, interpreted as an attack—a variation of a Reality Marble, a sword formed by crystallizing her inner world.

Because this sword is the Heroic Spirit Jeanne herself, once the Noble Phantasm manifests, she will disappear from the world after the battle ends.

La Pucelle, the trump card Noble Phantasm used by Ruler Jeanne d'Arc, is the conceptual crystallization of her inner spiritual landscape. Using the Sword of Saint Catherine (which Ruler never wielded in life) as a catalyst, it materializes the flames that once consumed her.

Activation Cost: Her own life.
Effect: Annihilates all existence.

- Rank Explanation:
- C (Before Activation): The sword remains sheathed.
- EX (After Activation): Destructive power becomes immeasurable.

Limitation: These flames only harm targets she deems must be destroyed. It cannot be used against mere strong enemies or out of emotions like hatred. (Thus, it cannot be used directly against Gilles.)

"Hey! That girl! Let’s retreat for now!"

Iskandar called out to Jeanne.

"How can we? Are we just going to let this monster destroy everything—?"

"Listen, we need a tactical withdrawal. Don’t worry—there will be another chance."

"…"

Jeanne ignored Iskandar, preparing to continue fighting. Iskandar could only sigh at her stubbornness.

Then—

Arthur descended from above and pulled Jeanne onto his horse.

"It’s alright. I’ll handle it."

Jeanne nodded. She now trusted Arthur unconditionally.

Arthur landed firmly and raised his sword high, shouting:

"Everyone! The situation is spiraling out of control! Do not resist! I’ll take you all away from here!"

As he spoke, an immense energy surged forth. Space itself seemed to sever—the entire river surface was engulfed by an invisible bounded field!

"In the name of Arthur! Open, the gate to Kingdom!!!"

Suddenly, space distorted violently, twisting with tremendous gravitational force. The entire battlefield was dragged inward!

The sea monster roared, but it couldn’t escape the pull.

Flash—!

In a dazzling burst of light, everyone found themselves on an unfamiliar coastline. The sea monster thrashed in the ocean beyond.

Meanwhile, Artoria and Lancelot landed on the beach.

"Where is this?!"

The surroundings resembled an ancient battlefield—one that shouldn’t exist in this era.

But Artoria recognized it instantly.

"This is… the border of Kingdom!!!"

Before she could react further—

Lancelot charged at her again!!!

The Holy Lance Awakens

At that moment, Arthur landed nearby. Just as Lancelot’s Arondight neared him—

A massive bounded field erupted around Arthur!

A long spear descended from the sky! Arthur caught it effortlessly.

"Old friend… long time no see."

Lancelot’s sword came down with hurricane force, but Arthur blocked it with the spear.

CLANG—!!!

The clash sent shockwaves blasting through the battlefield, sending geysers of sand skyward!

Arthur tightened his grip. A domain expanded from him, enveloping Artoria, Lancelot, and himself.

#Rhongomyniad
- Rank: A++
- Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm

Also known as Ron, the Holy Lance.

Regarded as equivalent to the Holy Lance Longinus that pierced the Savior in the first century AD. Its Rank and Type change upon True Name Release.

Originally, it was the "Pillar of Light" anchoring the boundary between "reality and illusion." Legend states that releasing it would sever "reality" from the world.

As the last "King" in an era where the Age of Gods was fading, she wielded this lance—imbued with the power of the End.

Now, that legendary weapon had returned to Arthur’s hands!

"Artoria, don’t lose heart. Let me help you this once!"

#Rhongomyniad’s Effects:
1. World Severance Power
- Arthur uses the lance to sever a portion of the world, including its laws, from the original world.
- As his power grows, the severed space expands.

2. True Name Release
- Unleashes the radiant light of the End.

Arthur examined the spear.

- The first ability was invaluable—akin to Tamamo’s mirror, but even more absolute, capable of creating a temporary isolated world. (This will be crucial for future developments.)
- The second ability? Yet another light-based map weapon!

Within Arthur’s domain, Lancelot’s mind began to clear—if only briefly.

Arthur planted the spear into the ground, letting its holy light sustain the barrier.

"Arthur? (This is Artoria.)"

"Lancelot… you’ve recovered?"

"Only for a moment. But it’s enough."

Lancelot tightened his grip on his sword—and his swordsmanship doubled in strength!!!
