Stray Chapter 66: The end of the honor

The magical aura was approaching. Xia Ran thought who was coming at first, but after a closer look, he found that it was a familiar violent aura.

Mato Kariya will come to support with Berserker, which Xia Ran did not expect, but if you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable.

Medea will definitely pay attention to the battle that takes place here. After confirming that Gilgamesh is indeed here, rather than attacking Liudong Temple, she will definitely take action, but it is only suitable to come to support. There is only berserker.

As for Sasaki Kojiro...how to put it, this one has no Noble Phantasm that can be finalized to deal with such an occasion, and he cannot do without the mountain gate. No matter how you look at it, he has no conditions to be sent here for support.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, but the objective conditions really don't allow it.

Of course, it's a bit late to come here. After thinking about it, Xia Ran realized that the only thing that can be done is to satisfy Berserker's wish to participate in this Holy Grail War——

Let him die by Saber's sword.

Cough, yes, this is definitely the main purpose, Xia Ran is mainly for Lancelot's wish... Although Saber is currently his servant, so if Berserker is killed by her, he will It is also possible to get rewards "by the way".

Just like killing Gilgamesh before, it doesn't matter if Xia Ran goes up or not, just wait for that guy to die, anyway, he will get all the rewards he should get. Exploded keys will still explode...

It should have been said a long time ago that the judgment of space for the cause and effect of the lost person's behavior is very complicated, and it is not purely based on the appearance. big.

To accomplish something in one's own power alone...

Using my own resourcefulness to take advantage of the situation to accomplish something...

The former uses its own power to directly achieve the goal and changes the plot without external force, while the latter starts from the aboriginal forces in the mission world, exerts influence from all aspects, and finally changes the plot... As long as the result is the same, the plot is changed , then there is no difference in the cause and effect.

Of course, it's not that Xia Ran didn't know about it, and it's not that he just remembered it now, it's just that he thinks-

It was also a rare pleasure to cut off the head of that rabid dog with his own hands, so he went to make up the knife at that time, even if it was another time, he would choose to do so.

"What?"

Saber was stunned, not knowing why this person suddenly brought up this topic.

"I mean, I'm running out of time now, and I'm leaving this world next, so you can't stay either... So why don't you try to solve this at the last minute? thing?"

Xia Ran stared at the emerald green eyes of the knight girl and said this seriously.

"You thought before that you don't need to face it, as long as you find the Holy Grail, you can change all your mistakes? But now that the Holy Grail is gone, if you want to achieve your wish, the Holy Grail alone can't do it. Don't you plan to find out about his obsession?"

"I..."

The knight girl bit her lower lip tightly, and for a while she appeared a little flustered, as if she was at a loss.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you really don't want to, I just think it's better to seize this opportunity instead of regretting why I didn't face it at the time and find out what happened... "

Xia Ran looked at her expression, then smiled, but did not continue to persecute.

If Saber really doesn't want to face such a thing, then he won't force it, and of course he won't kill Berserker himself.

Because Lancelot originally hoped to die under the sword of the King of Knights, if Xia Ran could get an extra reward while fulfilling his wish on the premise of fulfilling this wish, Then this is naturally the best...

——But if it doesn't work, then forget it, he won't force it.

"Then, Master, remove your illusion..."

At this time, the knight girl seemed to have made up her mind and said in a low voice.

"You're right, I can't keep running away, I still have to face it..."

She looked at the approaching figure in the distance of the flames and ruins, her expression became firm, but it was only firm on the surface, forcing herself to face it, the deepest part of her eyes was still a trace of fear and anxiety .

Xia Ran didn't answer, just at the next moment——

“urrrrrrrr——!!”

There was a whimper that sounded like the groaning of the dead in the dark underground.

What followed was the black mad knight who found the target at once, speeding up and dashing in the air with incomparable fury, tearing the roar of the atmosphere where it passed.

Boom!

The pressure of the wind spread to the surroundings, violently blowing the black knight's cloak and saber's hair.

The Sword of Victory of the Oath that took the initiative to meet was blocked by the violent unarmed attack, without the protection of the Wind King Barrier, because it is not necessary, even if the sword is hidden by the Wind King Barrier, the black man in front of him The knight could still catch the holy sword she swung with his bare hands.

Feeling the tremendous power coming from the sword, although she was using the holy sword to deal with unarmed enemies, Artoria did not gain any advantage. Instead, she was blocked by the black knight's bare-handed blade.

Aware of the fatal danger of being exposed to a weapon by Berserker, Saber kicked the black knight with all his strength. The latter couldn't resist and retreated and let go of the holy sword. The magical power of hatred did not have time to complete the transformation.

Both retreated for a while, Saber gritted his teeth, then made up his mind and shouted to the black knight on the opposite side——

"Unknown knight, since you recognized me as the King of Britain and challenged me, you should report your origins out of knighthood!"

“…”

“…”

The black wraith that was about to continue rushing up in a frenzy paused for a moment, and the next moment, he let out a grumbling laughter that seemed to be a beast crying or a knight choking.

Immediately afterwards, he reached for the hilt of the sword in the scabbard around his waist, which was neither picked nor snatch. This heroic spirit, who had always kept his name hidden, was finally about to reveal his own Noble Phantasm.

The moment Artoria blurted out that sentence, she realized that something was wrong, and it seemed that the truth was more difficult to bear than she imagined.

But the splashing water was hard to stop, so she could only stare helplessly at the black resentful spirit slowly pulling out the Noble Phantasm from the scabbard, trembling all over her body.

You can't go wrong, the blade design is identical to her own holy sword.

As an elvish script engraved with proof forged by the hands of inhumans, the reflection of the sharp blade under the moon is like a shining lake. It is an indestructible sword that will never be destroyed by any blow.

Only he who is praised as a "perfect knight" is qualified to own that sword, and its name is also expensive as "Undestroyed Lake Light", which is more evidence of the owner's true name than self-reported family.

If she wants to deceive herself and think that's not enough-

Then, the pitch-black magic power that permeated the black knight's body also rolled up a vortex like mist and began to shrink. Without the interference of the black mist, the pitch-black armor finally revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

It's the perfect piece of armor that's neither gorgeous nor vulgar, but it's a wonderful combination of functional beauty and gorgeousness. The craftsmen did their best to cast them with the utmost care and detail to make them appear both mighty and refined. Even the countless scars on it have become carvings to show its illustrious military exploits, adding a brave demeanor to it.

Altoria also knew the hero who once wore that armor and galloped on the battlefield. Even among the knights of the round table in Camelot, that person was a peerless swordsman who dazzled more than anyone else. Knights and brave warriors.

"How could..." The muttered voice revealed the weakness deep in the girl's heart.

I really hope I'm wrong, that person should be the ideal incarnation of the knight's original face, how can he become a dark figure eroded by the curse of frenzy... She thought she was mentally prepared, but she didn't Thinking that the real body of this black knight is actually that person.

Even as a hero, you will end up losing the minimum honor.

——In the past, someone had spoken to her like this.

So, has the curse started since then?

"Ah..."

Saber only felt his knees soften. The unyielding knight king lost himself in despair and fell to his knees on the snow, tears streaming down,

"Do you... hate me that much, my friend? Do you hate me so much even if you become that way, Lord Lancelot?"

This is a girl who keeps her glory until the end and fights to the end for her honor——

The moment of defeat.

The fallen black knight raised the sword of resentment high, and it is now impossible to know which path is the right one.

The only thing that is certain is that the remorse that has been brought into the coffin was extracted at the end of the long river of time, and tortured him forever and ever on the throne of Heroes with no beginning and no end.

Then, he finally heard a call from afar.

Come on, raging beast.

Come on, Wraith of Obsession.

——The voice from the end of time called.

This voice awakened his long-cherished wish, if he was not a knight at all; if he was a shameless, unreasonable beast; if he was a demon who has fallen into the realm of the beast...

Then, maybe this regret can be washed away.

Yes, that's right, that's it, only madness is the way to salvation.

This wish became the link between him and the end of time, which is why he is now called "berserker".

There is nothing to regret, just fall and be freed as a raging beast, which is what he himself aspires to.

……

……

Xia Ran didn't stop, but after releasing the illusion applied to Lancelot, he turned and left the battlefield directly.

Because the next battle has nothing to do with him, and I don't know how much time is left, he can only let it go and let it go... Of course, you still have to work hard, if the countdown is obvious If he can't catch up, he will naturally give up.

But in the face of the time that seemed to be "???", Xia Ran inevitably felt that she could still be rescued.

First, he briefly explained a few words to Matou Kariya in the distance, and quickly explained some things, and then he rushed towards Liudong Temple at the fastest speed, directly walking the straight distance. In the snowy night of Fuyuki City, a huge gas explosion swept across the night sky.
