Chapter 87 - Le Grand Chevalier

" Hey master, I was wondering, could we visit Egypt one of these days? I want to know how Sir Galahad and Pharaoh Tutenankamun and their children are doing, " said Melou.

" Sure, we can go, but for now, focus on the training, " said Nungal.

" I have another question! " said Melou quickly.

" You always do… " said Nungal with a smile.

" Who is the greatest knight of them all? " asked Melou.

Nungal's eyes widened and even Prince Eliwlod and Melehan wanted to know the answer.

" I would say that there are many great knights "

" But who is the greatest? "

Nungal was quiet for a moment.

" I would say, Lancelot, " said Nungal.

All three squires were surprised by their master's choice.

" But why Lancelot? " asked Melehan.

" Considering all that he went through, I would say that he deserves the title of the greatest knight " said Nungal with a smile, all the squires now had more questions, but they had to wait, for Sharur said

" My lord, someone powerful is coming "

Before Nungal could react, a huge beam of light shot passed him, Nungal was able to dodge it and get his squires to safety.

" What the hell was that? " said Melou.

" I don't know, but whatever it was, it is immensely strong, " said Nungal, looking at a good portion of the forest which was now gone.

" Over there! " said Prince Eliwlod.

Nungal looked and saw what seemed to be a knight with a sword in each hand, Nungal did not believe his eyes, for he recognized the two swords.

" It can't be….. " uttered Nungal in disbelief.

The knight pointed one of his swords towards Nungal and the squires and Nungal knew what was coming, Nungal placed a portal in front of himself and his squires, from the portal came forth the shield known as Svalinn, the knight shot another blast but Svalinn was able to block it.

" Alright, I want you all to run away as fast as you can, " said Nungal as he drew forth Sharur.

" No master, we want to help, " said the squires as they all drew forth their weapons.

" This is not up for debate! if it was any other opponent, I would let you all assist me, but not this time, this mysterious knight is mighty, Svalinn was barely able to block his last attack, so now go, run away! " said Nungal but the squires stayed.

" It seems that you all leave me no other choice " said Nungal with a smile.

Nungal now threw each of his squires up in the air, all the squires were caught by Cyborg-Humbaba.

" Now get them all far away from here! " said Nungal and Cyborg-Humbaba obeyed.

" MASTER!!!! " yelled all the squires from the colossal hand of Cyborg-Humbaba.

Nungal now faced the knight.

" My lord, how is it possible… " said Sharur.

" I have no idea…. how is this knight wielding both Excalibur and Joyeuse… " said Nungal as a drop of sweat ran down his cheek.

The knight now pointed Excalibur at Cyborg-Humbaba, Nungal quickly yelled

" Anzû!! "

Another portal opened and out flew Anzû who was diving down to grab Cyborg-Humbaba.

A huge beam of pure light was now heading towards Cyborg-Humbaba and it seemed that Anzû would not make it in time, but that was when Sir Nungal got into position and then he slammed Sharur straight into the beam, holding it back,

the knight now held Joyeuse next to Excalibur and that was when another beam combined with that of Excaliburs and this combined beam engulfed Nungal and destroyed everything behind him but Nungal did buy Anzû enough time to grab Cyborg-Humbaba.

All the squires looked down at the wasteland before them, the forest was completely gone, and they could not see their master.

" Master…. " said all the squires as tears ran down their cheek.

The knight now looked up at Anzû and pointed Excalibur at the gigantic bird.

" I see now " said a voice.

The knight and the squires looked where the voice came from, in the sky above the knight was Sir Nungal.

" Master!! " yelled all the squires in joy.

The knight now looked up at Nungal.

Nungal pulled back his hair and then said, with a grin on his face

" Migás "

A fist made of chains now slammed down on the knight.

The knight blocked the attack with his two swords.

The fist vanished and Nungal was now slamming down Sharur on the knight.

" I know who you are, " said Nungal.

The knight showed a sign of surprise as he was blocking Nungal's attack.

The knight and Nungal exchanged a few more blows.

" There is no doubt about it, the way you fight and wield those two sacred swords, you are Sir Lancelot " said Nungal.

The knight did not show any sign of emotion, the knight just readied the two legendary swords in his hands and then charged straight at Nungal.

Nungal and the knight fought with everything they had, their minds, bodies and souls were put beyond their limits, neither knight wanted to yield, so the battle lasted for a while, till eventually, Nungal somehow pulled out a victory.

Nungal was on the ground gasping for air next to him laid the knight who no longer had a helmet on.

Nungal saw the face of the knight, the face of Lancelot, who was smiling.

" Well fought…. " said the knight who turned into dust along with Excalibur and Joyeuse.

Nungal was still sitting on the ground, all of his muscles were in pain, Nungal now looked up at the sky and then said

" It seems I was right…."

Nungal then passed out from exhaustion.

Anzû later brought Nungal back to Camelot where Manungal healed him and made him good as new.

At the Morrigan's cave.

" Hey bro, when did Sir Lancelot ever wield Excalibur and Joyeuse? " said Ebliu.

" Well, Sir Lancelot wielded Joyeuse in the Once and Future King by White and technically, Sir Lancelot wielded Excalibur in the First Knight movie " said Ibic.

Once again, Prince Eliwlod found himself inside the throne-room of Auallonia.

The Prince was just staring at the throne and the more he looked the more he felt his shoulders were about to break.

" What seems to be on your mind? " said Queen Anna as she walked up to her nephew.

" These past couple of days, I have seen so many great battles, that I was not any part of…. so many mighty and strong individuals, who all I had no chance of winning over… " Prince Eliwlod was then quiet for a moment.

" I don't think I can do it… " said Eliwlod sounding almost like he was defeated.

Queen Anna just looked at her nephew and then said

" I see now "

Eliwlod looked at his aunt.

" You are under the impression that you will do all this alone "

Eliwlod felt a lighting bolt running through his whole body.

Queen Anna held Prince Eliwlod close and then said

" My dear Eliwlod, let me make something crystal clear, you won't be alone, you won't be facing any challenge alone, all of Camelot will be by your side, always and forever, hell, I rely on the council of Sir Bedivere and the others, I don't even rule alone " said Queen Anna with a smile.

In that moment, Prince Eliwlod felt all of his worries disappear.

Prince Eliwlod now hugged his aunt.

" I am ready, " said Prince Eliwlod as he was looking at the throne.

" You have always been ready " said Queen Anna with a smile while patting Eliwlod's head.
