Chapter 675: 523 Lengominia
——— "The Holy Lance".
This was an armament said to be held by King Arthur, Altoria Pendragon.
It was a spear that rivaled the Holy Sword in fame, also known as Lengominia, the anchor that could lock the storm of stars. Its true form was the Tower of Stars that connected the inner and outer layers of the world, a pillar of light that fixed the surface of the world with the radiance of stars.
It was rumored that once this lance was withdrawn, the world built upon the physical laws of the present would peel away, allowing the many fantastical rules deemed to exist in the past to emerge.
The lance, said to contain immense power, would release the Light of the End twinkling at the world’s end once its true name was unleashed.
If King Arthur’s Holy Sword was forged in the Inner Sea of the Star to save the world, the Holy Lance was the Light Anchor that fixed this world in place to maintain its existence.
This was the shimmering Light of the End, the Divine Tower that stood at the very limit — Lengominia.
Perhaps not as famous as King Arthur’s Holy Sword, but undoubtedly a miracle equal to the Holy Sword in both legend and stature.
Even among the myriad myths and legends, there were scarce any divine arms that could match this lance.
In some legends, the lance was even regarded as Longinus’ Spear that killed Jesus Christ, considered a deicidal weapon capable of slaying gods.
As the highest-ranking fairy, a genius magician of the Divine Realm, Morgan had deciphered the construction and power of the Holy Lance and ultimately restored the power of this lance through magic, making it learnable as a form of magic.
This was one of Morgan’s great magics — "Mirror," "Tower," "Garden," "Coffin." It was the "Tower."
Morgan had spent thousands of years erecting the "Tower" in her Jade Throne Hall, raising twelve supports of Lengominia.
The grand magic that Reiger acquired after completing Morgan’s "condition" was precisely the "Tower."
In other words, Reiger had obtained the Holy Lance in the form of magic.
In this moment, Reiger withdrew the anchor of the Holy Lance.
"Boom!"
A light pillar reaching the heavens suddenly appeared before the chalk-white city.
It was like a lance nailed to the earth, and at the moment of its appearance, all mysteries, fantasies, and chaos were fixed in place.
It seemed like a tower rising to the sky. As long as it existed there, not only was the darkness dispelled, but even the storm was dominated.
It was the spear that stood at the world’s end.
It was the stake that supported the world’s surface.
The spear of the storm, the spear at the end, the spear at the vanguard, the Light Spear, the Star Spear, the spear at the end... these were its names, its symbols, its appearance in the eyes of the world.
Especially when the one pulling out this lance was Reiger, the Son of the Sun who could double the power of light attribute magic, possessing a soul, and blessed with the protection of a great fairy. The Holy Lance, which was supposed to have lost its original form when constituted as a magic, retaining only its power and shell, miraculously recovered all the properties of its true nature.
Thus, the world’s end appeared here.
The light illuminated the entire world engulfed by the black storm.
"No! This is impossible!"
The beast that played with human malice seemed to realize the true nature of this light and let out a cry of panic never heard before.
"The Holy Lance...!?"
"Is that... Lengominia...!?"
"How can this be...!"
Matthew, Da Vinci, and Tristan widened their eyes with unprecedented shock on their faces.
"This..."
Even Altoria seemed to remember something, her face identical to King Arthur’s showing an unprecedented surprise.
All present had seen the Holy Lance before.
There was no need to mention Altoria, who had experienced the memories of King Arthur and was overly familiar with this spear of the same name as the Holy Sword.
Matthew and the others had also witnessed the power of the Holy Lance in singularities and different belts, even confronting the spear in person.
In other words, no one here would mistake Lengominia, mistake this Holy Lance.
Now, Reiger had withdrawn this lance before these very people. How could they not be surprised?
Of course, the most surprised was Goryanskaia.
She never expected that a visit to see an old friend and a casual test of a new weapon would result in her being provoked by an unknown human, revealing her true nature, and seeing the Star Anchor in this human.
But she quickly realized something.
"Damn Morgan! To give something like this to a human?"
She could hardly believe that the cold-hearted witch would give away her greatest trump card.
This was the Holy Lance!
The lance that could uphold the world itself!
Though Morgan recreated the power of the Holy Lance as a form of magic and used it as a weapon, it was still the strongest attack method in her hands, even she had to dread it!
And yet, that witch had casually given it away to a human?
And this human had restored the true nature of the Holy Lance?
This was simply outrageous!
"Damn it!"
Goryanskaia was a mix of shock and anger, unable to hide the panic in her voice.
She wanted to rush in, stop Reiger, stop the unhitching of the Holy Lance, but the dominated storm made her sway, barely able to maintain even the "beast" posture.
