"RAAAAAAHHH!!!" Lancelot roared, his face contorted, veins bulging on his forehead as he fought against the Command Spell's influence. But the Third Magic's power, etched into his very being, was relentless.
He drew [Arondight]—the The Unfading Light of the Lake, an A++ rank Noble Phantasm.
Forged by the same Fae who created Excalibur, it was an indestructible holy sword, its blade inscribed with runes, renowned for its shimmering, lake-like translucence under the moonlight.
With Arondight in hand, Lancelot's power surged, his parameters exceeding Saber's in every aspect.
The dual Command Spells amplified his strength further, forcing his body to move against his will. He looked at Saber, his eyes filled with a desperate plea, as his arm swung—
The blade sliced through the air, the force of his swing compressing the atmosphere into razor-sharp wind blades that sheared nearby trees in half.
The translucent blade, shimmering like moonlight on water, descended towards Saber's neck.
Saber didn't flinch, her gaze fixed on Lancelot, her expression calm.
A spatial rift tore open, and a hand reached out. Haru, watching from the castle, seeing Saber's lack of resistance, couldn't just stand by. He reached for Arondight, intending to stop the blow, but his hand froze mid-air.
