A faint sense of paralysis still lingered throughout his body. Rin Aosaki slowly opened his eyes. Not feeling the touch of his spear in his hand, he was instantly awake. But he soon sensed that the Lance of Longinus had returned to his body. It must have been because he had lost consciousness earlier. Inevitably recalling the double-shot Holy Lance, Rin Aosaki understood that he could no longer view its usage with past experience. That Holy Lance, in the hands of the Lion King, had clearly been further liberated, and her method of using it was far more brilliant than his impression of his foster sister "Artoria" and Vortigern.
But there should be a way to deal with it...
He didn't think the Holy Lance could be fired consecutively without limit. Even if it could, there should be a flaw in the opponent's movements. Rin Aosaki silently pondered this problem, but then he realized he didn't seem to be in the wild.
With a light snap of his pure-white-gloved left hand, he folded the few remaining magic papers from the small bag at his waist into observational paper cranes. Rin Aosaki "looked" at the surrounding environment, only then discovering that he seemed to be in a rather spacious room. And on the table next to the soft bed he was on, there were various kinds of fresh fruit and a water pitcher, which made him stunned for a moment.
However, he didn't think about why he had suddenly appeared here, but immediately realized a more serious problem.
How long was I unconscious? Did Bedivere get those people away safely? In Bedivere's state, he probably can't engage in high-intensity combat for long. And I have to notify the others who want to go to the Holy City about the Holy Punishment after the [Holy Selection]...
His heart immediately filled with anxiety. Rin Aosaki got off the bed and was about to leave the room when a door opening sound was heard at the same time.
"You're already awake? That's quite surprising. I didn't expect someone to survive under that person's Holy Lance."
"But looking at your condition, it seems there are no more problems. In that case, come with me to the Great Temple first. Our great Pharaoh wishes to see you."
The one who pushed the door open was a woman holding a magic staff, with purple hair that fell to her ankles, and rabbit-ear-like magic catalysts on her head. Her exposed, smooth and delicate skin was a healthy brown. But before the youth could ask anything, the woman had already arranged everything as if talking to herself, making Rin Aosaki blink in confusion.
Pharaoh? Wait, did I go directly from Jerusalem to Egypt...
"Um, excuse me..." Rin Aosaki couldn't help but speak up, but the female magus stopped him.
"If you have any questions, wait until you've met our Pharaoh. You should know, that king has ordered that if you wake up, you must be brought over immediately. Also, a reminder, do not be impolite later."
As if understanding that the youth was still a bit confused, the female magus added another sentence, then led the way. Rin Aosaki, completely bewildered but not wanting to just leave without a word after being brought to this safe place, could only temporarily follow her footsteps, but his face was still filled with anxiety.
And as if sensing his eagerness, she also quickened her pace. Soon, the two arrived at the Great Temple.
Inside the wide, magnificent temple that seemed to shine with golden light, dozens of soldiers in Egyptian attire stood neatly on both sides. And in the deepest part of the temple, at the end of endless steps, a throne was set.
On the throne, a man draped in a white robe, wearing a golden waist guard and golden bracers, with deep golden eyes under his black hair, exuding a majestic aura, was supporting his cheek with one hand, looking down at the two who had come for an audience. Even without speaking, one could feel a sense of dignity from him.
"Before you now is our Pharaoh, His Majesty the great Ozymandias. Youth, do you not hurry to pay your respects?"
Reminding the youth beside her, Nitocris gestured for him not to be rude. After all, she hadn't expected that when she was out on patrol, she would happen to see the pillar of light from the Holy Lance fall into the sand, and find an unconscious youth with a special aura within it. And when she reported this, the Pharaoh she served became interested in the youth.
Ozymandias? Ramesses II?
Slightly clarifying the situation and understanding that the woman beside him and the Pharaoh before him should both be Servants, Rin Aosaki was about to express his thanks, but Ozymandias, sitting on the throne, waved his hand.
"No matter. Since you are an existence that can take a blow from that person in the Holy City's Holy Lance and still be unharmed, such etiquette can be temporarily waived. I will forgive you for your impoliteness."
"But before, when I heard from Nitocris that someone could block the Holy Lance, I thought it was some madman. I didn't expect it to be a youth. Although you also seem to have a strange spiritual foundation reaction, you must be human yourself, right, nameless youth?"
Ozymandias stared at the youth below, whose aura was so clear that it reminded him of a certain friend. He rarely showed such a majestic attitude and just asked normally.
"...As you can see, I have indeed only obtained a portion of a Servant's power due to an accident." Not expecting this point to be seen through so quickly, Rin Aosaki didn't hide anything, but his brow was furrowed with a bit of distress as he said urgently, "But please forgive my rudeness, Mr. Pharaoh. I have urgent matters to attend to right now. I am very grateful to you and the lady beside you for bringing me back, but if possible, please allow me to take my leave first. After the matter is over, I will properly thank you both again."
As if hearing something incredible, Nitocris's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "G-great disrespect! This is before the throne of the Pharaoh! To be allowed an audience with his glory is already a great fortune, yet you dare to make a request? There is still time to take back those words, youth. Our great Pharaoh will surely forgive your sin!"
"Alright, Nitocris. Although you are originally a big bird, being so noisy is not your original character. I understand you want to protect this youth, but rest assured, I will not be angry over such things."
Seeing through the good intentions of a certain female pharaoh, Ozymandias chuckled lightly, raised an eyebrow, and continued to ask, "You say you have urgent matters to attend to. I am a little curious. What matter is it that would make someone like you rush to complete it without even taking the time to express thanks?"
Rin Aosaki briefly described what had happened in the Holy City. Although he still didn't know much about the Pharaoh before him, he could feel that the other party held no malice towards him, but rather a sense of tolerance.
However, after listening to the youth's words, Ozymandias's expression changed.
"Although I don't know how you escaped from under the Holy Lance, youth, the same luck will not happen a second time. In the end, what reason do you have to protect that group of wanderers?"
"It doesn't require a reason. I am just doing what I believe is right. Also, it is to put an end to certain mistakes. Besides, my situation is really urgent, so please forgive me for taking my leave first."
Truly worried about the safety of Bedivere and the wanderers, Rin Aosaki apologized and hurriedly left the Great Temple, leaving Nitocris, who had brought him back and for the audience, with a look of self-blame on her face, about to ask for punishment from Ozymandias.
But to her surprise, the Pharaoh was not angry. He just stared at the youth's retreating back, snorted softly, and muttered to himself as if in reminiscence, "To leave without even giving a name, what a rude fellow. But, he really does look a little like you, Moses..."
