Across the infinite dimensions.
Gawain's spectacular performance left the audience outside the light curtain speechless.
As expected of someone with a buff. He could handle multiple opponents with ease. Just as Da Vinci had said, Chaldea had almost no chance of winning.

[Light Curtain Barrage]
Fallen Black Cat: "Hiss… this Gawain is too strong, isn't he? He's completely dominating in a one-on-two fight, and he's barely even moved his feet. It's absurd."
Eriri Sawamura: "Da Vinci was wiped out too quickly, wasn't she? I thought she was 'the Almighty'? And in terms of fame, shouldn't Da Vinci be far above Gawain?"
Seeing Da Vinci taken out in an instant, Eriri couldn't help but complain. Because of the Mona Lisa, she held Da Vinci in very high regard, but he had been sent flying by Gawain directly, without any ability to resist.
Fumi Furuhashi: "There's nothing to be done about it. Although Da Vinci is almighty, he doesn't excel in combat. Furthermore, as a Caster, he doesn't have the home-field advantage. Add to that an enhanced version of Gawain, and defeat is natural. It was just a bit too fast…"
King Arthur: "Because of his Spirit Origin and the blessing, Sir Gawain at this moment is even stronger than I was during the Fourth Holy Grail War. Unless a Servant is willing to burn their Spirit Origin as a price, no one in a normal state can be his opponent."
---o---
[On the light curtain, the terrifying power Gawain displayed left everyone breathless.]
[In his eyes, the siege of four Servants was nothing more than child's play, hardly worth mentioning.]
["It's over, travelers from a foreign land."
[Gawain raised his sword, the blazing flames clinging tightly to its blade. A single swing could unleash a terrifying attack akin to a Mana Burst, enough to burn everything before him to ash.]
[Lucius and Mash exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously. Lucius struck with his sword from the side, while Mash used her shield to block Gawain's slash.]
[The three of them fought fiercely, the force of their battle causing the very earth to tremble. The destructive power of their attacks far surpassed the Servant battles of the first viewing.]
[This was the true power a Servant could unleash without the restraint of the Counter Force!]
[At this moment, Ritsuka Fujimaru wasn't just standing by. She began to organize the refugees, telling them to flee while they still could. Da Vinci also began to move stealthily at the same time, her intentions unknown.]
[Guinaifen had just scrambled up from the ground. She patted the dust off her now-dirty skirt and looked toward the center of the battle.]
[She had just gained her powers, only to be pitted against a nightmare-level opponent like Gawain.]
[This was truly asking a bit much of Guinaifen. However… since Gawain was under orders from the Lion King not to lay a lethal hand on her, this seemed to be a potential way to turn the tables.]
[After a round of battle, Gawain spoke again. "Is this all the power you possess? Then let us end it here!"]
[With these words, Gawain suddenly erupted with power. A dazzling golden radiance burst forth from his holy sword, a power like that of a released Noble Phantasm. It was a power like the sun itself blooming with light, the power brought by Galatine, the Sword of Revolving Victory.]
[As an immense amount of mana gathered, the holy sword in Gawain's hand transformed into a blade of radiant light, like a torrent of gushing gold, as he swept it toward Lucius and Mash.]
[The land in its path instantly melted, torn open into a fissure. The immense power could instantly pierce through a mountain!]
[The scorching heat of the holy sword was like the sun itself, causing the temperature at the gate of the Holy City to instantly rise by several degrees.]
[Faced with such an attack, it was impossible for Lucius to block it. He could only do his best to dodge.]
[However, at such a close distance, it was fundamentally impossible to dodge completely.]
[Fortunately, at this critical moment, Mash, as a Shielder, fully demonstrated the qualities her class demanded. She bravely stepped forward, raising the great shield in her hands to block in front of Lucius.]
[Gawain's sword of light struck the great shield, as expected.]
[In an instant, a terrifying power erupted. Mash cried out in pain as she was sent flying by the immense force. White smoke even rose from the great shield, the result of the impact from the intense heat.]
[Seeing this, Lucius immediately gritted his teeth, his Silver Arm clenched tight. At that moment, it bloomed with a golden radiance.]
[Clearly, he was about to use the power of this arm.]
["Grasp its sword, Silver Arm (Switch On Airgetlám)!"
[With the release of the Noble Phantasm, a dazzling golden radiance erupted from Lucius's silver arm.]
[A Noble Phantasm that was merely A-rank at this moment unleashed an astonishing power, clashing with Gawain's slash.]
[Faced with such an attack, Gawain's expression grew stern. Not daring to be careless, he immediately caused his holy sword to erupt with scorching golden energy, which then collided with the charging Lucius.]
[Boom—!]
[A terrifying power exploded. Under the force of the Silver Arm, Gawain, who had been unmoving until now, actually staggered back several steps, nearly falling to the ground from the impact.]
[And the force of the clash, while sending Lucius flying, also tore and blasted away the cloak and mask on his body, revealing Lucius's true form.]
[His handsome face was covered in a cold sweat, his teeth clenched tightly. This was not an injury sustained from the battle with Gawain, but a side effect on his body from releasing his Noble Phantasm.]
[After getting a clear look at Lucius's true form, Gawain's eyes couldn't help but widen. "You are… No… Impossible!"]
["Sir Bedivere! As a Knight of the Round Table, are you going to betray the King!?"]
[At this, Gawain paused, seeming to realize something. "So that's it. No wonder I didn't see you when the King first summoned us."
["But it's a pity. It's too late now. The remaining Knights of the Round Table… exist only to carry out the King's will."
[Lucius, no… Bedivere, gritted his teeth. He said nothing, staring at his former comrade, the golden radiance in his arm glowing even more brightly.]
[The arm of the War God Nuada was indeed a powerful force, but against the Nightless Gawain, this level of power wasn't even enough to stall for time.]
[However, as Gawain carefully observed Bedivere's arm, he seemed to notice something. A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. "This radiance… it's not the arm of Nuada. How could it be…"]
[As his voice fell, Gawain felt the Sword of Revolving Victory in his hand begin to tremble, as if it had encountered something incredible. Even its radiance dimmed by a fair amount. This was something that had never happened before he encountered Bedivere's arm.]
[Seeing this, Bedivere gritted his teeth. "Sir Gawain, Knight of the Round Table! It is you who has strayed from the King's path! You have fallen into evil! I will not hold back!"]
[With these words, Bedivere suddenly erupted with force. A powerful blow burst forth, actually sending Gawain flying. The golden radiance of the Silver Arm exploded on Gawain's body, sending him flying directly into the city wall, where he crashed into the White City of Chalk.]
[Afterward, Gawain fell to the ground, kneeling on one knee.]
[However, even after taking such a blow, Gawain was completely unharmed. But at this moment, he was kneeling on one knee, looking down at the Sword of Revolving Victory in his hand, silent for a long time.]
[On the other side, the sight of Bedivere sending the Nightless Gawain flying had stunned everyone. Ritsuka couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing, Lucius… ah no, Sir Bedivere!"]
[Faced with this scene, the Purified Knights were also stunned. One by one, they stopped their movements, at a loss for what to do.]
[Ritsuka Fujimaru naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. After a brief moment of surprise, she immediately began to organize the refugees, telling them to run quickly, to get as far away from the Holy City as possible.]]
---o---
Across the infinite dimensions, the release of Bedivere's Noble Phantasm instantly captivated a large audience.
"Grasp its sword, Silver Arm." At first listen, it seemed to have no connection to Bedivere's past.
This was also what the viewers outside the light curtain were curious about. What exactly was this Silver Arm? It wasn't the arm of Nuada, yet it could make the Sword of Revolving Victory lose its will to fight.
This didn't seem like something Bedivere should possess. After all, Bedivere himself was not a prominent member of the Knights of the Round Table. His strength was at the bottom of the ranks. It was impossible for him to have such a powerful Noble Phantasm.
---o---
[Light Curtain Barrage]
Time Spirit: "I have a feeling that Bedivere has many secrets. That arm, and his reason for calling himself Lucius… It's getting more and more interesting."
Detective Conan: "It's not the arm of the War God Nuada, yet it sent Gawain flying. This means its rank is not low. It's enough to bridge the power gap between Bedivere and Gawain!"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "But… the side effect of that arm is also significant. It looks like it will be difficult for Bedivere to use it a second time."
King Arthur: "The light released by that arm… Could it be…"
---o---
[On the light curtain, the Purified Knights being stunned bought the refugees time to escape, and it also bought Ritsuka Fujimaru an opportunity.]
[Although the situation was still very critical, there was now hope of a successful escape.]
[Since Gawain was the guardian of the Holy City's main gate, he couldn't possibly leave it too far behind.]
[As long as they protected Guinaifen and ran quickly now, while Mash and the others held back the enemy, they could fight and retreat, saving as many people as possible.]
[As for the remaining Knights of the Round Table, they would deal with them when they met them. Although she didn't know what had happened, ever since he used that Noble Phantasm, Bedivere's condition had been a bit off.]
[Ritsuka Fujimaru thought to herself as she looked at Bedivere's state.]
[But at that moment, on the battlefield, Gawain lowered his head, closed his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "The one who turned his back on the King was me? No… that's not right. All the sins, I have long been prepared for them. I have turned my back on honor, turned my back on the path of the knight, but I am the only one who has not turned his back on the King. This body, now, exists only for its loyalty to the King!"]
[As his voice fell, he raised his head. Gawain looked at the refugees and the people of Chaldea with a chilling gaze.]
[The next moment, he kicked off with both feet, transforming into a streak of silver light and charging directly at them.]
[Seeing this, Mash's eyes widened. "H-how can this be? He's completely unharmed? Sir Bedivere's attack definitely hit him!"]
[Bedivere's expression was grim, a hint of exhaustion in it. "This is… Gawain with the blessing of 'Nightless'…"]
[Guinaifen looked up. Because of Bedivere, Gawain had completely ignored her, prioritizing the Saint's Punishment to annihilate Chaldea and the refugees.]
["I have to bet on it! I hope I, Little Gui, don't die at the hands of someone with the same name as my brother."
[Guinaifen gritted her teeth and did her best to run toward where Gawain was flying.]
[At that moment, Gawain glanced at the group, then at the refugees still fleeing. His gaze then shifted to Bedivere, lingering on his right arm for two seconds, before finally settling on Mash.]
["You who hold that shield, how much of the power of that holy shield can you wield?"]
["I will not hold back. Next, I will release the power of my holy sword. If you cannot take it, then all of you from Chaldea will turn to dust under the light of the sun along with those refugees!"]
[With this declaration of war, he coldly stated his intentions.]
[Gawain had passed judgment, and this was also the prelude to the release of his Noble Phantasm.]
[These words instantly made everyone feel a suffocating pressure.]
[Seeing this, Bedivere immediately shouted a warning, "Be careful! Gawain is about to release his holy sword! That is an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm whose radiance is no weaker than a normal-state Excalibur! It has the power to instantly turn this place into a sea of fire!"]
[As Bedivere warned, the next moment, the mana on Gawain's body surged forth, transforming into a golden flame that coiled around him.]
[Ritsuka Fujimaru immediately looked at Mash. "Mash!"]
[Mash immediately raised her shield, blocking the way. "Yes, Master!"]
[Her expression was resolute, unwavering. Although this shield was incomparably hard, to be honest, the current Mash still didn't have the ability to withstand Gawain's full-power Noble Phantasm.]
[Unless… she could completely release the true name of the Noble Phantasm in her hand. Only then could this holy shield display its true form and defend against all attacks in the world!]
[Seeing Mash's resolve, Gawain spoke again, and this was now the incantation for his Noble Phantasm release.]
["As you wish. My holy sword is the manifestation of the sun. In accordance with the King's command, it shall burn all on this earth to cinders."
[At this, he suddenly threw the holy sword in his hand into the sky and chanted the release of his Noble Phantasm.]
["This sword is the incarnation of the sun, the solar flame that burns away all impurities—"]
[As the holy sword reached the apex of the sky, it bloomed with a scorching golden light. As it spun, it released flames, and finally, at the highest point in the sky, with the rotation of the blade, it became like a second sun.]
["Galatine, the Sword of Revolving Victory! (Excalibur Galatine)"]
[With Gawain's swing, a raging flame like a great fiery wave spread out in a fan shape. Wherever it went, all was incinerated, and the desert land was instantly turned into a patch of scorched earth.]
[And it was at this very moment that Guinaifen arrived, thrusting the long spear in her hand toward the holy sword in Gawain's grasp!]]
