124 Let's Have Some Fun

With the full activation of the Oath of Judah, an unexplainable power enveloped the room, causing Arkhan to feel a noticeable slowdown in the flow of magical energy within his body.

"So, this is the power of binding..."

A hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes. Without any deliberate activation, just the normal unfolding of the Oath of Judah showcased a degree of power that exceeded his expectations.

It seemed that this Divine Key was much stronger than he had imagined.

His thoughts shifted slightly, and the stiffness immediately subsided.

Like the other Divine Keys he possessed before, the side effects of the Oath of Judah wouldn't trouble him under normal circumstances.

However, this was only in ordinary situations. If he unleashed the Zeroth Power of the Oath of Judah, even he would be severely affected.

This skill was a classic case of hurting the enemy a thousand times and harming oneself eight hundred times.

Compared to the Zeroth Power of other Divine Keys, except for the Judgment of Shamash, the restrictions of the Oath of Judah were just too powerful.

Fortunately, the Oath of Judah still performed remarkably well even in normal combat situations.

Arkhan took out one of the spears from the Oath of Judah, waved it casually, and muttered, "Doesn't feel quite right. Abyss Flower was more user-friendly."

*Clatter*

The golden chain he held in his other hand suddenly slid on its own, standing in front of him like a snake, conveying a sense of dissatisfaction.

Arkhan blinked in surprise, suddenly feeling as if a small blonde girl with hands on her hips, pouting, was looking at him angrily.

"Sorry, sorry, didn't mean it that way." Arkhan cleared his throat, and a strange thought suddenly crossed his mind. "Do you want to show off your power and prove you're stronger than the other guys?"

The golden chain swayed up and down as if nodding.

Arkhan's expression became somewhat odd. This Divine Key seemed too spirited.

After a moment of contemplation, his eyes lit up, and a mischievous smile crept onto his face.

"Well then, let's have some fun, shall we?"

He took a step forward, placing his hand on the central relief. Magical energy flowed continuously into it, causing the cross to radiate an even more brilliant light, conveying a rather lively mood.

"Oath of Judah, it's time to hunt."

*Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—*

As the words fell, the golden spears suddenly trembled, then shot out from their stand, piercing through the wall with their long chains, flying outward.

Looking at the gaping hole they left, Arkhan's mouth twitched slightly.

"Next time, let's find a more spacious place."

Artoria and Kay walked through the corridors of the royal palace, discussing the policies Arkhan proposed in today's meeting.

"Providing compensation for the families of deceased soldiers every month not only strengthens national cohesion and boosts enthusiasm for military service but also reduces the emergence of bandits and refugees. Such a multi-beneficial policy, I'm afraid only our wise and benevolent king could come up with this kind of idea." Artoria exclaimed.

"My goodness, Lily, while I agree with you, you don't have to add that last sentence every time, y'know..." Kay chuckled.

"I'm just speaking the truth. Is there a problem?" Artoria glared at him discontentedly. 

Kay shook his head helplessly.

"No, I just—"

However, before he could finish his words, a sudden gust of wind whistled past his ears.

*Clang!*

A golden sword's edge clashed with the tip of a golden spear, sparking a brilliant and intense display.

Seizing the opportunity, another golden spear thrust forward. Just as it was about to touch Kay, the air trembled slightly, as if it had collided with something head-on. The golden spear was deflected with a clang.

"Hah!"

Kay roared, swinging his golden sword, Claiomh Solais, with all his might to parry the approaching golden spear. He took two steps back, aligning himself back to back with Artoria, who wielded Excalibur, enveloped in Invisible Air.

They maintained a vigilant stance, surveying the four golden spears suspended in midair with trailing long chains.

"What are they? Mystic Codes?" Kay furrowed his brow.

"Although they have magical energy, I sense that they're not Mystic Codes." Artoria frowned and said solemnly. "But my intuition told me that if we get entangled with this thing, it could lead to quite troublesome consequences."

Kay shuddered. He knew all too well how accurate Artoria's 'Intuition' was. Every time she uttered those words, the accuracy was at least eighty percent or more.

Gripping his golden sword tightly, a serious expression appeared on his face.

The upcoming battle would undoubtedly be a tough one.

Inside the magic workshop, Morgan, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. In her pale golden gaze, there was a profound sense of confusion that gradually cleared after two or three minutes.

She propped herself up and exhaled slowly. Rubbing her forehead, a hint of complexity appeared in her eyes.

"The fusion has deepened again..."

Turning her head, a large full-length mirror was placed beside her. Gazing at her gorgeous figure in the mirror, she murmured softly, "In the future, am I Morgan, or Guinevere?"

Suddenly, a familiar face flashed in her mind. Her delicate face instantly blushed with a captivating hue, and a sweet smile curved her lips.

"No matter who I am, I will definitely protect—"

Suddenly, a familiar magical energy fluctuation transmitted toward her. It was the magical device she set up outside being triggered!

*BOOM—!*

Two golden spears with trailing chains instantly pierced through the wall and rushed toward her like snakes!

A cold gaze appeared in Morgan's pale golden eyes. With a casual wave, intricate Rune formed instantly, and two sturdy ethereal hands emerged, tightly gripping the two spears.

'What are these?'

Morgan furrowed her brow in confusion as she observed the two golden spears.

'Shouldn't there be magic formations set by Merlin in the palace? Where did these things come from?'

Before she could figure out the situation, she suddenly noticed the two ethereal hands holding the golden spears suddenly dissolved like smoke, all magical energy traces disappearing completely.

Morgan's eyes were instantly filled with a strong sense of shock.

"The magical energy disappeared?!"
