"Artoria Pendragon, command you to become my blade and serve as my weapon of glory during the battles I face."
Her words cut like a knife and the blade obeyed.
There was a huge golden glow at the side of Artoria, where the original Excalibur had appeared, its light growing even brighter as if trying to consume the fake.
'The blade is fighting… trying to keep the contract from breaking, quite the blade, isn't it? But it doesn't stand a chance against my duplicate, go on, keep going Artoria!'
It took a couple of minutes, but finally, the blade conceded. The fake Excalibur glowed even brighter and was able to consume the original, blinding the sight of both Ha Joon and Artoria.
The light dimmed.
"It worked?" Ha Joon asked out loud.
Clink –!
The original Excalibur fell to the ground, losing all its properties and energy, while the fake remained in Artoria's grasp, still shimmering with life.
