The Holy Knight of DxD

Chapter 36: Knight of Round Table (End)

Romani read that digital diary that Y/N had written on his cell phone because it told what had happened during the fifth century A.D. The events of Vortigern and even the attack on Gwent had been described in detail.

However, the most important point was that the story had not been altered. The events following King Arthur's death had been documented. The subsequent barbarian invasions, the Hundred Years' War and the American, French and industrial revolutions had been studied by contemporary historians. It was proof that certain events that marked human history had not changed or just slightly.

"Well, I'm glad they acted consciously but that doesn't explain what happened to them," Tamamo said, her expression showing all her concern that was also the concern of all. There was Jack who was almost on the verge of making a massacre to release all the tension she had accumulated.

"He talked about Eclipse at one point, but I honestly have no idea what it is," Romani said, trying to find again the point where Y/N had reported a plan to return to the future. "Unfortunately he didn't say much, perhaps for fear of interference from devils or some other beings."

"You mean whatever it is, Y/N kept it a secret for himself," Issei reasoned, frustrated.

"It's the fate of the Pendragons," Morgan suddenly intervened. "I did some research into why heirs exist and found out that Mordred had at least one child." She folded her arms across her chest and stared at Artoria. "I have no idea if they are the descendants of the bastard child you rejected or Mordred of this world, but still Y/N has made sure that the House goes on." She turned her attention to Ophis. "I guess you can confirm that."

They turned and looked at her. On perspective, Ophis had always been strangely quiet. Normally a dragon that lost its treasure would go on a rampage, but she had remained calm as if she had always known. And now, reading the diary, they knew why.

Ophis nodded imperceptibly and then said, "Given his actions, he made sure that King Arthur's lineage was guaranteed."

"I see," Romani muttered before turning to her. "Ophis, did Y/N tell you anything about Eclipse?"

Romani was Solomon, the King of Magecraft, and before he became what he is today he was the Grand Caster, the Heroic Spirit who stood at the pinnacle of all Casters, superior even to Merlin and Morgan. During his life, he pursued knowledge, and every magical art was allowed to him as evidenced by his creation, Goetia, but this was foreign to his knowledge.

Amazingly, Ophis shook her head, strongly denying that she knew, and explained that Y/N had not told her in detail. "However, he told me that I should show it to you when the time comes."

Ophis snapped her fingers and they all found themselves inside a white space with five stone gates. Each had a different symbol engraved on it like a strange bird with a tail, a dragon skull with crossed guns behind and so on.

"What is it?" Issei swallowed nervously.

"Gate," Ophis replied. "They are linked to parallel worlds that are connected to Y/N."

In the end, the Dimensional Gap was nothing more than a space that held the multiverse together without parallel worlds meeting, and the existence of Ophis before and of the Great Red after was that of guardians.

The cold sweat on Artoria's face and the fact that Merlin's face showed slight surprise indicated that it was something important.

"That's the point of why I'm keeping an eye on him," Morgan said lazily. "I want to understand how a brat like him reached the First and Second Magic."

The First Magic was the creation from nothing that allowed the creation of objects by directly manipulating mana.

"The second Magic, so he called it." Ophis pointed to the stone gate with the bird with the tail engraved in the middle. "Eclipse is linked to this reality."
