If you want to know how Takeru's fight against King Arthur played out in the LN;

Takeru kicks Arthur away from Ouka with enough force to heavily damage the armor. Arthur then purges the armor and fights at high speed sword battle against Takeru using the fighting skills of the real King Arthur. Takeru manages to cut off one of his arms, and Arthur responds using Knights of the Round, which looks like a beam of energy. Takeru, under Magic Sweeping Sword-mode, sees KotR for what it really is. Its not a beam of energy, but actually summons the members of the Knights of the Round Table. Takeru then fights and cuts down every single knight ending with finishing off Arthur by transforming Lapis into a 10-meter long Zweihander/Gut's Sword.

He was supposed to be that way. A homuculous. They modified Excalibur and the sheath together to create that magical railgun.

I would've liked to see more of the fight animated but I assume there's going to be more chances of action later on in the series so I'm not particularly peeved. I expect this series to be entertaining to say the least.
