Chapter 269: MelusineThe Dragon of Albion.
Just as Servants and Heroic Spirits have classifications and rankings-where the finest among them are titled Grand Servants, the Dragon of Albion is the "Grand" Dragon of this world!
In the original history, as the Age of Gods came to an end, the Dragon of Albion chose to remain on the surface of the world.
Ultimately, it perished from exhaustion, its body transforming into a massive labyrinth known as the Spirit Tomb Albion.
However, in this Lostbelt world, where the entire planet has become the "Sea of
Nothingness," the Dragon of Albion continued to fly over the oceans until its eventual death from exhaustion and its remains fell upon the northern part of Britain, becoming the land on which the Rain Clan fairies now reside.
Yet this was merely background.
The critical point was that Promise, who was currently in the process of Heroic Spirit engraving and was unable to use a previous Heroic Spirit class card, must rewrite the fate of the Rain Clan fairies, who are destined for annihilation within three days.
And so, the Dragon of Albion was the best solution Promise could think of.
With the advantage of being a transmigrator and the wisdom ingrained in his soul from repeatedly overcoming impossible trials, Promise immediately thought of the one, born from the left claw of the dead Grand Dragon.
The one, with the power to easily destroy an entire fairy race.
The one, hailed as the most beautiful and strongest Fairy Knight in all of Lostbelt Britain.
Fairy Knight Lancelot.
True name: Melusine!
He thought of her.
At this moment, equipped with the foresight of a transmigrator and days of re
So, even though Promise's words were merely verbal descriptions, Melusine seemed to
glimpse fragments of a deeper truth through his words.
Though they usually despise such glimpses of deeper truths, they allowed it because it came
from Promise.
"But as I revisited those memories again and again,
I found that none of these things were as suitable as that scene... It wasn't until now that I
realised that it wasn't her, who asked me for a painting back then.
It was that I've always wanted to paint one for her."
Without the ability to see through spiritual sight, Promise could not see the faint phantom of
Melusine that had already appeared beside him.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes brimming with curiosity as if seeking the truth behind
his words.
"That's why I tore it apart,"
Promise said, tilting his head as though addressing her. "I realized that simply painting like that wouldn't capture the full picture I wanted to show you." Although he couldn't see her, he instinctively sensed her presence beside him.
"So... would you be willing to wait for me a little longer? I'd like to wait for the night to fall."
"Only under the night sky and its stars can I truly show you that beauty."
Melusine didn't respond, because she did not have sentience at the moment, she didn't know
how to.
She was merely following her instincts, pursuing what she found captivating.
Promise didn't mind her silence.
After all, he was too exhausted, so, he simply lay down, closed his eyes, and promptly fell
asleep. Seeing him drift off so casually, even Morgan felt a ripple of emotion in her frozen heart. Especially when she noticed Melusine's phantom mimicking Promise's actions, lying down beside him as if to accompany him, Morgan, who was watching this scene through her mirror, couldn't help but have an amusing thought in her mind. That was..to call the current Melusine think and let her witness this scene?
Her expression would surely be unforgettable.
