21st Century Necromancer

The azure knight's lance collided with the crimson lance, producing a thunderous noise.

The former Morgan le Fay, the Celtic Pantheon Goddess of War, although her martial prowess was not on par with that of the Queen of the Land of Shadows, and even her double-lance technique was learned from her, she remained formidable even after losing her deities' power.

But even as a deity, she could not withstand the charge from the entire Knights of the Round Table.

The crimson lance broke, and her war horse fell as well.

As she gently stroked her war horse, a sorrowful look appeared in Morgan le Fay's eyes; it was her most beloved mount, accompanying her through countless years. However, after being sealed for one thousand and five hundred years, she finally had to bid farewell to it.

She had a massive wound in her abdomen. Though King Arthur had deliberately avoided her vitals just now, it still dealt her an irreversible and serious injury.

Looking up at the sky, she saw that her flock of ravens was nearly annihilated by the Skeleton Legion.

Perhaps unable to bear seeing this last bit of her retainers perish, Morgan le Fay called out to the ravens, ordering them to abandon the fight and fly to her side.

Witnessing this, Jounouchi Hiromi also ordered the Skeleton Legion to cease fighting, reformed them back into the Blood River, and collected them.

Riding Xiao Lan, Jounouchi Hiromi landed beside Morgan le Fay. As a doctor, she felt a twinge of pity looking at the severely injured woman.

Toward Morgan le Fay or the former Queen Mary, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't say she harbored any ill will; in the end, when someone launches an attack or even threatens life, self-defense is an instinctive reaction.

In Jounouchi Hiromi's mind, it would have been enough to subdue and seal the opponent; there was no need to beat her to such a state.

However, the one who took action wasn't her, and it seemed that the person who had acted bore a deep grudge against Morgan le Fay. This was beyond Jounouchi Hiromi's intervention.

While Jounouchi Hiromi was reflecting, Chen Yu, King Arthur, Lord Nelson, and others also arrived where Morgan le Fay was.

Handing his Knight's Lance to Kai beside him, King Arthur looked at Morgan le Fay with a complex expression, considering she'd been called sister by him for many years, and she had also provided much support after he became King.

Had it not been for Mordred's affair, he might still regard her as a respected sister, even if she was merely using him to revive the Celtic Pantheon.

After receiving the infusion of the Power of Faith and achieving growth, King Arthur's strength reached that of a Demigod, and his mind also matured, gleaning much from the Power of Faith.

"Morgan... sister," King Arthur still called her sister.

Morgan le Fay raised her head, looking at King Arthur, and revealed a grim smile: "Artoria, you've won."

"Why? Why did you do those things back then? You could have simply told me your purpose." King Arthur did not understand Morgan le Fay's actions from the past; after one thousand and five hundred years, she had let go of her hatred and now only sought to understand her reasons.

However, Morgan le Fay burst into laughter, a wild and unrestrained laugh as if King Arthur had said something amusing, "I am a deity, why should I explain my actions to a mortal?"

Even though she had fallen from her Divine Position, even though she had only clung to life for one thousand and five hundred years through the rituals she scorned, she was still a goddess of the Celtic Pantheon, still possessed the pride of a deity.

Hearing this from Morgan le Fay, King Arthur could only shake his head in regret and said no more.

Seeing that King Arthur had nothing more to say, Chen Yu walked over to Morgan le Fay's side and took out the Human Skin Book, but he did not hand it over to her. Instead, he spoke with a sense of regret, "What a pity, if only you were willing to communicate in a normal manner, I would indeed not mind returning this book to you."

Indeed, out of a sense of kinship with a fellow Necromancer, Chen Yu did not mind returning the Human Skin Book to Morgan le Fay. It was just that she had attacked him before he could offer the book, while she, as Queen Mary, had even attempted to kill his wife, which was undoubtedly intolerable to Chen Yu.

"Maybe so, but is there any meaning to such words? Are you suggesting you reminisce before killing your prey?" Morgan le Fay's face was filled with scorn as she struggled to stand up from the ground, picked up the broken half of her lance, and looking around at the people surrounding her, she laughed wildly, "Come on! Grant me an honorable death! As a warrior, I need not my enemy's pity!"

Watching Morgan le Fay's roaring demeanor, Jounouchi Hiromi hesitated for a moment before looking towards King Arthur; she wanted to offer this enemy respect, but it seemed King Arthur was more entitled to do so.

King Arthur noticed Jounouchi Hiromi's gaze and, after a moment of thought, understood her intentions.

"This lady is my sister, although she has done many things I cannot forgive, I hope you can grant her the last respect," said King Arthur as he looked at Jounouchi Hiromi.

Despite the knights' continued enmity towards Morgan le Fay, as a true Knighthood, they would not deny an enemy final respect, allowing her to die as a warrior, not as a captive.

Seeing King Arthur say this, Chen Yu also gave Jounouchi Hiromi a supportive look.

With Chen Yu's support, Jounouchi Hiromi took a deep breath, nodded at him, and then walked up to Morgan le Fay.

Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi walk up to her, Morgan le Fay laughed. She aimed her Broken Lance at Jounouchi Hiromi, "Is it you who will bring me to my end? Very well, being sent off by a queen would be fitting of my glory! Come then!"

Morgan le Fay assumed her final battle stance, refusing to shed her dignity as a deity even in the face of death.

Upon seeing this, Jounouchi Hiromi also drew her Sword from her waist, signaled slightly to Morgan le Fay, and then launched her final attack.

Facing the incoming sword, even though she was powerless to resist, Morgan le Fay still mustered all her remaining strength to meet the blade, in an attempt to fend it off. This was respect for her enemy and for herself.

But her injuries were too severe, and even with all her might, the sword still pierced through her heart.

The point of the Broken Lance touched Jounouchi Hiromi's chest, but it would never advance further.

Morgan le Fay, the last surviving goddess of the Celtic Pantheon, thus perished.
