Chapter 70 In the online plot discussion forums

In the online plot discussion forums, the Pharaoh's declaration caused an instant explosion of activity.

The players of Blue Star had never seen such a multi-dimensional portrayal of a king filled with contrasting charm.

Without combat or stats, just a few lines of dialogue and the refugees drinking water in the temple caused this Pharaoh's popularity to skyrocket!

However, in the game, when the Master (the player) took the opportunity to request an alliance, Ozymandias gave a merciless, cold laugh.

"An alliance? With the current you?"

"Laughable! I am the Incarnation of the Sun; I have no need for the assistance of the weak. While I am in a good mood, get out of my temple! Once you can survive in the desert, then we shall talk about your qualification to breathe in my presence!"

A gale swept through, and irresistible magical power directly expelled the protagonist group from the temple's outer area.

Though the Pharaoh's rejection was arrogant, it made the players even more devoted to his imposing style.

After all, this was the temperament that peerless king should have.

However, just as the players were driven to the ruins on the outskirts of the temple, before they even had time to admire the Pharaoh's coolness—

BOOM—!

An extremely violent, crimson lightning bolt filled with the aura of destruction struck down from the night sky without warning, blasting the sand dune in front of the protagonist group into a deep crater!

A Knight of the Round Table, encased in silver heavy armor and wearing a horned helmet that hid their face, walked out from the dust step by step, carrying a sword of calamity that constantly spat out red lightning.

"The Pharaoh's barrier is truly tough... but no matter. I'll start by dealing with you heretical rats who slipped through the net!"

The Knight of Treachery of the Round Table—Mordred—instantly shattered Mash's defense with an unreasonably violent light cannon.

[Warning! Hostile unit's Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm locked on!]

The lethal red lightning soared into the sky, seemingly about to completely swallow Fujimaru Ritsuka!

At that very moment when the Master faced a certain death—!

"—That's enough, Knight of Treachery of the Round Table."

An extremely calm male voice, yet one permeated with endless hardship and sorrow, rang out in the desert.

Swish!

A dazzling silver stream of light pierced out from the side, like a falling star, forcefully blocking the path in front of the Master!

Accompanied by the deafening roar of clashing metal, that world-destroying pillar of red lightning was actually split open by this silver light, turning into a sky full of scattered fire as it dissipated wildly to both sides!

It was a knight draped in a tattered cloak, with long silver hair.

He had no magnificent armor, nor an overbearing presence.

But at the moment he blocked Mordred's lethal light cannon, Charles and all the players discovered in shock—

What he used to block the red lightning cannon wasn't some shield or magic sword, but his own—[Right Arm]!

It was a prosthetic metal limb completely forged from silver metal, emitting a holy radiance: the [Silver Arm]!

It held firm against Mordred's sword of calamity, allowing the violent red lightning to rage along the metal arm and tear his tattered cloak to shreds. His somewhat thin frame, however, stood like a monument in the desert, towering and unmoving, without retreating a single step!

The silver-haired knight did not answer; he only turned his head and glanced at the Master and Mash with eyes that had experienced endless trials.

"Just a knight wandering the desert, who has lost his way."

He slowly raised that glowing silver right arm, facing the berserk Mordred directly, his tone carrying a determination that seemed to span a thousand years.

"Wandering Knight, Bedivere. Joining the battle."
