~Chapter 39~King & Sword~
~Elizabeth's Pov~
Soon from above, someone landed not far in front of Hendrickson. I was in shock to see Arthur wearing a full-body gold-coloured steel armour with a white cape. In his hands was that sword. The sword from my memories with Merlin. Excalibur. "King Arthur" Hendrickson spoke as Arthur's eyes landed on me. They widened slightly as I saw worry and fear inside of them. He soon was looking at Hendrickson a smile on his face. "Did King Bartra order this attack?" he asked as Hendrickson moved forward slightly.
Hendrickson growing a smirk on his face. "No. I did" he answered sounding proud of the fact he was hurting innocent people. Arthur was in a fighting stance, looking toward Hendrickson. "Merlin and the others will show up soon. Just please hold on Elizabeth" Arthur spoke. Merlin. I knew I had to stay awake. I knew I had to keep fighting. Gilthunder was keeping Ban back as I saw Elaine was fine, only her arm bleeding. "Really? Do you believe they will be here soon even with the Demon Princes here themselves?" Hendrickson asked.
Arthur only smiled rushing toward Hendrickson, clashing swords with him. Dreyfus started walking toward the edge until Arthur was there in a blink of an eye, swinging his sword toward him. Dreyfus was forced to jump back as Hendrickson was rushing toward him faster than my eyes were able to keep up. I was in shock to see Arthur being able to keep up with Hendrickson. He was able to block his attacks and was able to push Hendrickson back toward me and Dreyfus. "Gilthunder, get rid of the Sin and Fairy" Dreyfus spoke turning around to face the three.
Ban and Elaine were already pushed to the edge. Gilthunder cut the ground at their feet as both Ban and Elaine were sent flying off. I was trying to shout their names but I was unable to do anything but struggle to stay awake. "Shouldn't we stop Princess Elizabeth's bleeding?" Gilthunder soon asked turning around to look at us. Dreyfus bent down placing me on the ground. "Make sure that annoying King is pushed off as well" Dreyfus spoke as Gilthunder moved faster than light.
I was able to hear Arthur clashing swords with both Hendrickson and Gilthunder. I was worried about him. "How was someone able to pull that bastard sword from the ground?" Dreyfus muttered putting something on the wound, pushing on it hard. I felt like screaming but was unable to do even that. The pain was going through my body as if it was sharp swords hitting my nerves. "This should keep you alive for another hour" Dreyfus spoke before standing up turning around to let me see Arthur struggling to deal with both Hendrickson and Gilthunder.
"A child of a King and a Goddess powered sword" Dreyfus mumbled. Goddess powered. I was able to see Arthur wasn't giving his all in the fight. He was holding back. I wasn't sure why but I knew if he kept doing so, he would be killed. Dreyfus put his hand on his sword's grip holder. "Three v One ain't fair" Arthur spoke moving fast over Hendrickson and Gilthunder, shocking the two Holy Knights as he was in front of Dreyfus. He moved his sword fast, cutting a line through the chest of his armour, pushing him away from me.
He soon was standing in front of me turning around to fast Hendrickson and Gilthunder. "You are skilled King Arthur but stop holding back already" Hendrickson spoke moving his empty hand in the air, a giant purple fireball starting to form and grow in front of it. Gilthunder stepped back in shock. "Crap" Arthur got into the same fighting stance before looking straight toward the two Holy Knights. He had a serious look on his face. He wasn't scared dying here. He wasn't scared to face Hendrickson and Gilthunder like this.
I lifted my left hand as I was following the instructions in my memories. The rush I felt before came back as Arthur's sword gave off a white glow. "So she can power the sword" Gilthunder whispered as Arthur didn't move his eyes from the two Holy Knights. King and Sword. They were both partners. They both had a bond. From my memories, I got of seeing younger Merlin. I also made the sword Excalibur. The sword only able to be used of one with a pure soul and spirit. Only could be used by someone with a kind and caring heart.
Merlin had found the perfect person for Excalibur. It was easy to see that. Arthur swung his sword in the air sending a powerful blast at Hendrickson and Gilthunder pushing them back to the edge. The fireball going out as they were knocked back. Arthur put Excalibur away fast and turned around, picking me up in a princess hold. "Hold on Elizabeth" he spoke heading toward the stairs. We were about to at the stairs until a giant purple bubble went around the room, covering the stairs, covering our only exit.
Arthur turned around to see it was Hendrickson making the bubble. It made the sky above look as if it was night. "Night is when Demons or people with their blood are stronger" Hendrickson spoke as Arthur was trying to think of a way out. This was a demonic bubble. Unlike the one Griamore had once around me and Diane, this bubble was giving off demonic energy. It was affecting all of us. It effected Hendrickson in a good way, giving him more power and healing while the rest of us in here.
Even Hendrickson's own teammates were struggling to feel any of their own power. "Merlin, now would be a great time" Arthur whispered as I noticed Arthur dropped a small crystal bead. He placed me on the ground, asking me in a whisper to hold on a little longer. Was he worried about me or how upset Meliodas would be seeing me hurt? I wondered if it was a mix of the both. Arthur looked at Hendrickson, pulling Excalibur from the scrab on his belt. The golden King and the golden Sword. A good pick...Merlin.
