Stray Chapter 58: Lancer is dead again

"Is this your response? Archer..."

lancer looked in front of him with blood-stained eyes, and saw Gilgamesh standing proudly with his arms crossed, as well as the expected mocking face, he knelt down in his own blood In the middle, he tried to speak in a hoarse, low voice.

"I just thought you really had the courage to face me upright, but I didn't expect you to have such an idea..."

He really felt that Gilgamesh, the self-proclaimed king of all heroes, just had a real responsibility as a hero. After he challenged him in a dignified manner, he generously chose to face it. .

I didn't use the Noble Phantasm group to suppress the firepower, nor did I plan to directly use the Ex-level super-spec Noble Phantasm that broke the rider's "Army of Kings" earlier, so I just stood in front of him— —

The lancer was ashamed because of this, so he decided not to use the Noble Phantasm, and he seriously declared his name, so that the other party would be prepared for everything.

After all, the opponent is obviously a heroic spirit who is not good at martial arts, or simply can't use anything other than Noble Phantasm.

So if you can't use the only advantage, which is the Noble Phantasm, and force the opponent to use his weaknesses to meet Lancer's strengths, then it will be unfair to Gilgamesh... So Lancer feels ashamed. Difficult.

"Hmph, this is just the script of that guy Kotomine Kirei, he likes to make others feel despair and pain, you **** is just an incidental thing when he tortures Emiya Kiritsugu, but that's right. In line with the king's heart..."

Gilgamesh sneered and said so arrogantly with disapproval.

"Do you really think that any **** is qualified to challenge this king? Don't be delusional, you have no self-knowledge, just relying on your arrogance just now is enough for this king to smash you to pieces— "

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and admired the bastard's embarrassment and end in front of him, showing a rather sinister smile:

"It's just that you are now allowed to simply punish yourself with this king's apology. It's already a special gift from this king. You dare to speak so boldly and evaluate the courage of this king... bastard, who gave it to you? Self-confidence, the gods dare not speak to me like this."

Lancer, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, didn't speak, and didn't want to say anything. At this moment, his mood was unexpectedly calm, and he even felt that he was finally relieved.

Gilgamesh has always been so arrogant, but he is indeed a little arrogant-

In the face of such a brittle, irritable and pretentious ancient waste, but really think that the other party will have some heroic responsibility, the king's ability, and even plan to paddle, there will be such a wrong perception , is not arrogance and what is...

Lancer really planned to paddle just now. After all, it's still the same sentence. Most heroic spirits have their own pride and dignity.

It's like when Artoria faced Xia Ran before, she insisted on non-violence and non-cooperation. On the surface, she admitted that he was the new master, but in fact she was still thinking about Irisviel.

On the bright side, because of throwing the rat taboo, I am afraid, which is equivalent to being pinched by my own destiny, so I can't openly resist or oppose the Master's order, but I violate the rules and give a discount to the Master's order or something. , but it can still be done.

——Of course, the previous Artoria was forced to agree to accept a new master-slave relationship, but now she voluntarily signed a prostitution contract because she was worried about Irisviel, although she probably still did not Unwilling, but at least the attitude will be corrected.

Because of being forced to agree to the master-slave contract, and offering conditions in exchange and offering loyalty, these two situations are very different for the vast majority of proud and dignified Heroic Spirits.

Perhaps the essence is forced, and their hearts are reluctant, but they will be more dedicated to the latter. If they insisted, it was probably because they were persecuted and threatened, which was subtly different from their own initiative to ask for help.

Lancer is also in the same situation. If he took the initiative to exchange himself as a bargaining chip in order to save Kenneth's life, then at this time, he would definitely do his best for Emiya Kiritsugu's order. Because of the conditions that he himself offered, no matter how angry and aggrieved, this kind of words are just like the promises made, and they can never be violated...

However, Emiya Kiritsugu is a very realistic man. He never cares about the servant's personality or character. Even when he was the master of saber before, he never thought about having a good relationship. .

In the eyes of this magician killer, servants are nothing more than high-level familiars. They can be used as tools at will, without caring about their personalities and will, and there are also mandatory orders from command spells... …

It is precisely because of this that he has repeatedly unscrupulous and despicable actions in your original plot, which completely angered Saber——

In the later stage, after Emiya Kiritsugu designed "letting you go" as a condition, he tricked Kenneth to kill Lancer, and then let Maiya brutally kill Kenneth and the two of them.

Saber no longer regards him as his master at all, but only regards him as his mortal enemy, and the two are so estranged from each other... It's also because Emiya Kiritsugu met It's King Arthur, not the bastard.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility that this man will reach the final stage, and he will die under the calculations of his own tools.

So, the current lancer is like this. He doesn't feel that he has any responsibility to Emiya Kiritsugu, and he doesn't feel that he has made a promise to a warrior or something, so he naturally prepares to paddle. now...

What I didn't expect was that Emiya Kiritsugu's movements were faster, and he would just slap him first. Emiya Kiritsugu said that he would use a command spell, and he did use a command spell, but the order he gave was for Lancer to commit suicide.

It's ironic...

“…”

“…”

"...Sure enough, the magician was right. A clown jumping from a beam like you could claim to be the king of all heroes. No wonder Uruk at that time had only one way to go..."

The radiance on his body dimmed, and Lancer, whose figure was fading and disappearing, stared at Gilgamesh with a arrogant face in front of him, sighed softly, and accepted the ending very calmly.

"Bastard! What are you talking about! Do you know what you are talking about-!! Damn, this king will cut you to pieces..."

Gilgamesh, who was admiring the miserable death of a **** without self-awareness, died in agony in front of his eyes, when he heard the evaluation of the spearman, his eyes instantly turned red, and an angry gaze shot out from it.

At the same time, in the void behind him, there is a huge magic power rolling and surging, and a strange flame-like air rises. With twists and ripples, the shining Noble Phantasm appears in the void. middle.

Probably really don't need to be stingy with magic power at all. Even if he uses such a regular attack, he blasts out nearly a hundred pieces of Noble Phantasm at one time - in the past, it was almost unimaginable, after all, eight pieces It's a routine, sixteen is to increase the attack power, and thirty-two is already a high priority...

Even with an A+ rank "single action" skill, even when using large-scale magic power, the master's support is not necessary, and it does not mean that he can really ignore the magic power problem completely.

Because "unnecessary" means that he can decide whether he needs to use magic power on a large scale at a critical moment. At that time, he does not necessarily need the support of the master, and he can use his own magic power reserve...but not There is absolutely no need for an external supply of magic.

Although the A+ rank "single action" skill is an out-of-spec ability that "can continue to manifest even after the Holy Grail War is over".

But if one's own magic power is completely exhausted, even if the Holy Grail War has not ended, the contract with the Master still exists, and oneself is not defeated and destroyed, but what should disappear must disappear...

This is also why in the previous Battle of Seaside Park, Gilgamesh needed to extract Tosaka Tokiomi's magic power, and he wasted a lot of magic power in the front. Yes, but after the ultimate move, he himself has to leave the arena immediately.

In the original plot, although he continued to stay in the present world after the end of the Holy Grail War, he needed to eat children to support him until ten years later.

Another example is King Duma. She was not defeated and destroyed, but in a limit state, she was ordered by Emiya Kiritsugu's double command spell to liberate the holy sword, destroy the Holy Grail, and exhaust her magic power. It just disappeared after that...

As for now, it can only be said that Gilgamesh is really not worried about the issue of magic, and it is extravagant to an unimaginable level.

All the Noble Phantasms are projected, and the destructive power is still huge!

Rumble--! !

Almost the entire street was thrown up in an instant, as if a large number of bombs prepared in advance were detonated at the same time, and the asphalt turned into dust and splashed everywhere, covering the sky with snowflakes All vision.

Accompanied by the movement of the ground and the mountains, it seems to be a huge force, but it is meaningless, because before the intensive bombardment arrives, the lancer has lost its entity, turned into a hazy shadow and collapsed.

The Noble Phantasm group is empty, and all are misses...

Perhaps this ending is not bad, at least Lancer walked peacefully without much resentment and unwillingness, probably because he never felt that Emiya Kiritsugu was his lord, and now he naturally has no reason to. The kind of resentment that Kenneth ordered to commit suicide in the plot.

Besides, it was a mandatory order from the Command Spell, and he couldn't resist it. Although it was a pity, he could only exit like this—with a little regret and anger, as well as his disdain and ridicule for the **** king, he left like this. In the present world, there is no curse left.

Gilgamesh was furious. This **** **** dared to say something like that to himself before he died. He really couldn't wait...

"Huh?" Seemingly aware of something, the furious Golden Archer turned his head to look, and suddenly showed a ferocious and twisted expression, "It's just right, the king's anger should be washed with blood!"

At the entrance at the end of the opposite street, Xia Ran's feet gently landed, and then she put down the petite body in her arms, and then frowned and looked at the severely damaged street in front of her. .

Saber got down from his arms and quickly stood still, without any twist or unnaturalness because of the princess hug just now, she just glanced around anxiously, looked at the surrounding environment, and tried to search for what she wanted to see The figure that arrived...

Because she had already heard Xia Ran tell the secret on the way over.

An important part of this ritual system of the Holy Grail War, as well as the information that Irisviel is the "Holy Grail" - Irisviel is an artificial human of the Einzbern family, and is also a A tool designed and manufactured as a carrier of the Holy Grail.

Once a servant is destroyed in the Holy Grail War, her soul will be automatically absorbed into her body. After four or five servants are destroyed, that gentle woman will completely lose her human qualities. function.

At that time, her body will inevitably begin to disintegrate automatically, because the Holy Grail has already begun to conceive from her body at that time...
