The thick darkness that enveloped the mountain road was no longer dusk, but night.
Mordred drove the steel beast at full speed, using his headlights to cut through the ink-like darkness ahead.
The speed of the AE86 has already exceeded the limits of the vehicle itself, and many parts of the body have protested. If this is left unchecked, it won't take long for the AE86 to be completely scrapped.
Mordred ignored this and poured the torrent of magic into the car body, releasing all the horsepower of the car while also pressing down the tires that could not hold the ground tightly due to the huge torque. It is no exaggeration to say that Mordred at this moment was equivalent to using his own brute force to subdue a beast that was a hundred times heavier than himself.
But Mordred did not feel tired, the passion in her body was heating up because of the pursuit. The ferocity of the beast under her would not cool her passion, but would fuel it.
"I will not let you go, Father."
Mordred uttered the same words again, this time not as a language of will, but as a declaration of victory.
As a member of the Knights of the Round Table, she knew very well that Don Stallion had already exerted his maximum speed. This explosive speed was destined to be unsustainable. This was the innate characteristic of horses as biological creatures and could not be violated.
But the AE86 is different. It is a product of science. As long as the fuel is not exhausted, the steel machine can continue to maintain this maneuvering speed, even if it is overloaded. In a long chase, this ability represents a very important meaning.
Just as Mordred had expected, it wasn't long before East Starion's speed gradually slowed down, because the distance created by the U-turn and the rapid acceleration finally began to shorten.
Great, got you!
Mordred took a deep breath, and all the magic power he had accumulated, the magic power in the air, and the magic power he got from Lion Jie through the contract were instantly released through the Dragon Factor.
The stains on the car body were swept away by the explosion of magic power, and then the white car body was also blocked by the color of magic, like a red lightning.
Under the infusion of magic power, the sound of the engine changed unexpectedly.
The heavy bass sound that was originally like a raging wave gradually rose to a piercing high pitch, becoming more violent and more brutal, tearing through the night sky and resounding throughout the sky. The violent acceleration that was completely different from before turned the people in the car and the car body into bullets, and the surrounding night scene flew away like a meteor behind.
At this moment, technology and mystery merge into one.
At this moment, man and car truly become one.
At this moment, the rebellious knight truly rebelled against the laws of physics.
"Uooohhhhhh!" With a roar more exaggerated than the roar of the engine, Mordred ignored the irregular shaking of the steering wheel, maneuvered the AE86 off the ground, and slammed headfirst into Don Starlion's butt.
However, just before the AE86 was about to hit the target, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in front of the car.
The strong wind disrupted the balance that Mordred had managed to maintain with great difficulty, and also caused Don Starlion, whose speed had slowed down, to speed up again.
"Damn the Wind King's Barrier!" Mordred, who had failed at the last minute, punched the steering wheel, causing the already unbalanced vehicle to shake more and more violently.
"Don't panic, keep your head down—it's not over yet."
The voice of Lion Robbery sounded in Mordred's ears. Although the voice was unpleasant, as if it was squeezed out from between teeth, it injected new motivation into the almost deflated rebellious knight.
He was seen holding the handrail tightly with his left hand, pulling out a sawn-off shotgun with his right hand and pointing it at the white horse not far away.
"I'm sorry, King Arthur. I know what you are doing is right, but I still want to stop you. Who makes me Mordred's partner?"
Late last night, or to be more precise, early this morning, after the information exchange, Artoria and Jeanne invited Mordred and Lion to jointly fight against the mastermind. In their view, it was the duty of every master and servant to maintain a fair and just Holy Grail War, and there was no reason to refuse.
Lion Jie did not object to the invitation to cooperate. However, it was not for the legitimate reason that the two thought. He was simply unhappy with Father Shirou and Semiramis for plotting in secret without his knowledge.
By the way, he could also ask for compensation by providing assistance to Jeanne - hiring a first-class magician like him was never cheap. Lion Jie knew that Jeanne had extra Command Seals, which could make up for the previous lack. With Jeanne's meticulous character, as long as the negotiation was done well, it would not be difficult to get the Command Seals.
Unfortunately, although Lion Jie had a good idea, Mordred was unwilling to cooperate. She directly rejected the invitation and the possibility of fighting alongside her father. No matter what Jeanne and Altria said, she just refused. In the end, she dragged Lion Jie away.
Altria and Jeanne felt a little sorry, but they didn't take it to heart. Mordred was a rebellious knight who ended the Arthurian dynasty, so it was understandable that he was unwilling to fight alongside King Arthur, who killed him.
After making sure that all the servants had evacuated from Sighisoara, the two rode back to the village on the border between the two regions. The mastermind, a priest named Shirou, was hiding very well, and it would be unlikely to find him if they continued looking, so it would be better to wait patiently in Tulifas.
Although we don't know what the mastermind behind this is planning, their goal is the Holy Grail. As long as we wait near the Holy Grail, they will definitely appear.
By the way, the village chosen as the base was not on the route of the Hanging Garden, so the two did not notice the abnormality at the first time. Instead, after Shinji who was in Mirenia Castle informed them, the two hurriedly rode over.
On the other side, the lion Jie Jie Li, who was dragged away before he could express his opinion, was having a headache - because of his servant, the disgruntled Mordred.
That’s right, Mordred was in a bad mood, Lion Robbery was sure of that.
Although he looks like a gangster, he didn't always live in killing. He also married a wife, formed a family, and had a lovely daughter.
Mordred behaved just like his daughter did when she was upset.
It was just that when his daughter was upset, Lion Jie knew how to comfort her. When Mordred was upset, he really didn't know what to do, because he didn't know the root cause of Mordred's upset.
Wasn't he fine just now? He was getting along well with his father. Wasn't this the time Mordred had been dreaming of? Why did he suddenly change his attitude
What on earth is going on
Lion Jie tried various methods, such as direct questioning, indirect attack, and changing the subject, but none of them worked. In the end, Lion Jie used his ultimate move and took great pains to kill a wild boar in the wild and roasted it for Mordred to eat. Only then did Mordred's mood improve slightly.
But this improvement was just a way of venting, turning the awkwardness into appetite. Lion Jie still didn't know why Mordred was upset.
It was not until the two of them saw the sky garden and drove to the battlefield that Lion Jie finally knew the answer. This answer made him no longer confused or complaining. Just as he said before - between the world-famous King Arthur and the rebellious knight, he would definitely support the latter!
Since Mordred wanted to stop Altria, he would help without hesitation.
When the trigger was pulled, the shotgun roared like thunder.
