"Sir Lancelot, you are right. No matter what, let's have a good fight. This may be the best ending for you and me."
The fierce sword wind rose in the wind and sand, and Lancelot's sword light was so gorgeous and clear at this moment.
He originally wanted to use his life to prevent the king from falling, but the situation was reversed by a hero named Noah. Now he only needs to fight for himself, for his inner guilt and atonement.
Therefore, he attacked with almost no reservation, clearly expressing his emotions and guilt.
It was very good, but it was too good and it turned into a crushing victory.
And is this guy venting his anger? Why is he so fierce? Wasn't it agreed that all the twelve Knights of the Round Table are the king's chefs?
"As expected of the flower of knights, the difference in swordsmanship is clear."
Noah couldn't help but admire that this kind of opponent might be Hawkeye's favorite style, what a pure kendo.
As for Saber, who had been getting beaten, she no longer counted. She didn't even remember how many times she had been knocked away.
Who on earth had the audacity to say that she was the best Sword Servant?
Now she was just like a small boat floating on the sea, being tossed around by strong winds and huge waves, just allowing the indestructible lake light held high in Xiaolan's hand to hit her again and again.
She was beaten so hard in front of everyone that she couldn't even stand up. She couldn't fight back at all, and she didn't even have the will to fight the enemy.
This miserable and desolate appearance was far from the heroic image of the Knight King who was once praised as the incarnation of the dragon. It was really unbearable to watch.
Even with the sword of victory and oath in hand, she could not win. No matter what she did, she could not defeat that man, that long sword.
When the two swords collided, Saber was in a trance again when he saw the familiar scene.
The Incorruptible Lake Light is paired with King Arthur's Sword of Promised Victory, the supreme sword given to humans by the elves.
In fact, Xiaolan has always been the kind of person Saber admired when she was young, a perfect knight with perfect character, and their relationship as both a teacher and a friend is a rare story.
She always believed that the two were close friends, and even if they had to fight each other for some unavoidable reasons, she still believed that they were of the same mind deep down in their hearts.
On one side is the loyal minister who embodies chivalry; on the other side is the king who protects chivalry.
But is this bond between the holy lord and his loyal subject just her one-sided beautiful fantasy?
The ending in the myth and Lancelot's response to the call of the Holy Grail as a Berserker warrior made Saber feel breathless.
Is it my fault? Is it the king's fault? Is it because the king does not understand human nature?
Facing the relentless blows of the Indestructible Lake Light, Saber’s holy sword let out a sharp wail.
Although this is a sword of holy light that promises victory, its true meaning cannot be fully realized in the hands of its owner who has lost the will to fight.
Lancelot has now drawn out the famous sword that liberated his knightly nature. The exquisiteness of his martial arts and the power of his sword are beyond comparison in the past.
Even if Saber was in good condition, she might not be able to withstand his sword. Especially now.
He had no choice but to continue teaching, feeling like an old mother.
"Your Majesty, I am really worried. Are you still fighting for such a reason at this time?"
A nostalgic voice came from behind the sword.
The knight's eyes were as gentle and steady as a calm lake as always, but his attacks were still ruthless.
With one slash of the sword, Saber was almost knocked off her feet.
"Lancelot..."
Another sword slashed down, almost knocking Saber to one knee.
"I... hope to be punished by your own hand. Your Majesty... I hope you can judge my sins with your own anger..."
Lancelot said earnestly. Although he was called a traitorous knight and the culprit of the split of the Round Table, his only friend never blamed him from beginning to end.
A horizontal slash almost knocked the king's holy sword away.
Chapter 57 Give Your Body to Me
"If I accept your punishment...if you want me to pay the price for my crime...then I will believe that I can atone for my sins...one day...I will find a way to forgive my sins...The princess...should be the same..."
After waking up, Lancelot expressed his own demands and the princess's demands.
Regarding what happened back then, Lancelot resented the king for only one reason: Arthur did not judge his sins.
There is no redemption until death. I blame myself for betraying the person I cherish most and regret it for the rest of my life.
To whom should I express my regret? And how should I condemn whom?
The sword flashed around Saber like a violent storm, cutting the Knight King's body with wounds. The knight was still pouring out his anger.
Even if Noah suppressed the influence of the Berserker class, there was nothing he could do as the Servant himself was constantly approaching madness while confessing his crimes.
Wisps of black energy appeared on Lancelot's body, and his eyes began to dim.
After pouring out his heart, Lancelot's sword light became more and more regretless, even carrying a sense of extinction leading to death.
He had no regrets about this Holy Grail War.
Saber was completely broken down by this confession. She realized that she was still so useless.
She still didn’t understand after her mentor and friend told her.
Or they stubbornly believe that as long as they use the Holy Grail, they can change everything that happened in the past, prevent tragedies from happening again, and allow the Kingdom of Camelot to continue to exist.
Seeing the stubborn king, Lancelot sighed helplessly.
Even though the king did not do well, this was the Knight King in his mind.
"So please forgive my selfishness, Arthur."
In the last sword duel, the light of the lake without regrets deviated from its direction and brushed past King Arthur's temple, cutting off only a few strands of hair, while the sword of victory and oath pierced Lancelot's chest.
Blood flew uncontrollably in the air, streaking across the king's face.
"Lancelot!"
This obviously suicidal behavior made Saber helpless and she hugged this perfect lake knight, blood continuously flowing out of his body.
"Your Majesty, I know that my selfishness has caused you trouble, but dying under your sword can indeed eliminate my resentment. I have been wandering in the darkness of madness for a long time, so I really can't resist this temptation."
Saber watched all this with blank eyes. She was powerless, just like the feeling she had on the battlefield of Camlann.
Why do you look so happy even though you died under my sword? Why does my forgiveness make you more miserable?
Lancelot looked to the other side, at his master Matou Kariya who was about to die.
"I'm sorry, Master. The order you gave me was to do what I wanted, and that's it."
Then, with a smile on his face, he turned into a point of light and disappeared into this world.
At the same time, Matou Kariya also lost his life. He finally saved an equally lonely and crazy soul at the last moment of his life, and he was satisfied.
The fourth Heroic Spirit of the Holy Grail War returns to the Throne of Heroes, and the Holy Grail slowly fills up.
After watching the duel, Iskandar Shengzan was impressed by the strong emotions contained in such a battle, and even he, a spectator, was infected.
"Lancelot, he is truly a perfect knight."
Finally, the inherent barrier was lifted, and they returned to the ruined Tohsaka mansion.
At this moment, Saber was still kneeling there with lifeless eyes, preparing to return, while Emiya Kiritsugu took out his weapon, unwilling to give up and wanted to make a last stand.
The Command Spells in their hands have not been used up yet and there is still a chance to turn the situation around. Not resolving themselves within the inherent barrier is their biggest mistake and arrogance.
As long as you fire three Origin Bullets first to create a gap in time, and then use the Command Spell to issue an order, you will still have a chance to escape from here. Although the probability is 1/10000, it is worth trying everything.
Intrinsic time control at four times the speed!
Hold the gun in your left hand and raise your arm with your right hand.
"Saber belt..."
puff!
The sword flashed past his eyes, and Kiritsugu felt that all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.
The delay of time at this moment is much slower than the natural time control. Although the body has not fallen down yet, it can receive more information.
It turns out that Noah's sword can be so fast...
The magic circuits and seals on his body had lost their original foundation. Was it because he was already dead that there was a gap between him and his magic power?
At the same time, his arms hung down limply. Neither the weapons nor the Command Spells could keep him alive.
Now the only one who could keep him alive is Avalon, but he was sent to Noah during the crusade against the Outer Gods. Is this fate?
Damn it! I still want to live, and the world has not been saved. My dreams, everything I have is gone.
Even though his body was slowly growing cold and his pupils were gradually dilating, Emiya Kiritsugu was still unwilling to give up.
He believes that the future of this world must be saved by him using the Holy Grail.
“Remember, the greater the task, the less shortcuts you can take.
Through the Holy Grail, people can obtain happiness, and through the Holy Grail, people can also obtain destruction. "
These were the last words he heard before he died, and then he slowly fell to the ground in the Tohsaka residence.
Blood gushed out from his neck crazily. The inherent time control accelerated the blood flow in his body. Even if the inertia was stopped, it was still driving his body towards death.
His heart slowly stopped beating and his cerebral cortex lost its vitality.
This war of betrayal finally came to an end, with everything ending at the cost of Kiritsugu Emiya's death.
"Ah... The Tousaka family lost three masters and one servant in just two days. It's really a good place."
Then Noah left with Matou Kariya's body. It would be better to find a quiet place to bury this poor man.
The King of Conquerors also left with Waver, leaving only the body of Kiritsugu Emiya. I believe the Holy Church will come and deal with these matters soon.
Just as they left, a woman came hurriedly with a doll.
But when they arrived, they only saw the cold body of the man who was so important in their lives, and Saber who was standing sluggishly in the distance and was about to disappear.
"Do not!!!!!!"
The two women screamed crazily, their worlds collapsing. Although they knew that there could only be one winner in the Holy Grail War, and that every participant could die, they still couldn't accept it when it really happened.
Looking at the gash on Emiya Kiritsugu's neck and the loss of vital signs, he knew that everything was irreversible. This was no longer something that could be reversed by magic, only magic could do it.
Caressing her lover's arm, the doll shed two tears of the soul, which was more unforgettable than the pain of broken arm.
“Kiritsugu…”
It was as if she saw the innocence and seriousness of the man when he talked about his dreams in Germany, and Alice's heart as a doll was touched for the first time.
"Save humanity, completely eradicate all war and bloodshed, and achieve permanent world peace."
Great and naive, she fell in love with her designated husband in the castle.
Even if you know you need to sacrifice your life, you will not regret it.
...I have no parents, and I was not born out of love, so I have no idea what kind of person is a "good wife". But...for me, the love I get from him is everything.
Looking at the Command Seal with only a few marks left in Kiritsugu's hand and Saber who was about to dissipate.
The one-armed doll's eyes suddenly lit up with the fire of the soul. Perhaps...
Look at the Knight King who is about to disappear.
"Saber, you said you would protect me with your life!"
"Your body is in my hands, and my fate is in your hands. If you are willing to follow the Holy Grail's instructions and obey this principle, then..."
"I swear here that your offering will become my flesh and blood..."
"The Holy Grail War has begun."
Chapter 58 The Successor of Dreams
A human, a puppet, and a heroic spirit.
The three formed a temporary team for the goal of the Holy Grail.
Saber is still wearing the butler's uniform, Airi is still the gorgeous doll, and Maiya is a servant, but the harmony they had before can never be restored.
