Chapter 934: I’ll See You Tomorrow Morning (3/3)
If even the Death Eye can't kill him, then Liu Xia really can't do anything to him. Either wait for him to disappear by himself, or go find the magician behind him.
"That one just now...?"
Just as Liu Xia's eyes recovered, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from the side.
A girl with long black ponytails came nearby at some point, her black miniskirt fluttering in the night wind.
Tosaka Rin stared blankly in the direction where the black shadow disappeared just now. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Next to her, the red Archer stood there.
Behind them, Emiya Shirou and Saber-class King Arthur were running towards this side.
There are still some scars on Saber's body, which should be caused by the battle with Lancer, but it seems that there are no fatal injuries. It must be due to the support of the red Archer. After all, Lancer's strength is far superior to Saber.
"Rider, what happened just now?"
When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Lancer didn't know when he rode that snow-white horse and came to Liu Xia's side. Looking in the direction of the disappeared black shadow, his handsome brows furrowed.
"Under that golden light, a third Servant seemed to have appeared. I came here because I was worried about something unexpected happening... But it seems that it's not just that Servant that got in. What was that black shadow just now? It was given to me. It feels very bad, like meeting a natural enemy.”
Because he was worried about something unexpected happening here, Lancer gave up the chance to decide the outcome with Saber and took the initiative to come to Lucia's side.
"That thing, on the surface, seems to be a creation of imaginary numbers. However, it has the ability to pollute the followers. Judging from the essence, it should be some kind of complete curse..."
Liu Xia also fell into deep thought.
This curse ability seems to be quite suspicious when you think about it.
Curses that can pollute even servants are rare even in myths around the world. If it appears in Fuyuki City, there are basically only two possibilities.
One possibility is that the imaginary number creation is the ability of a certain servant.
At this stage, in Fuyuki City, except for Assassin, all other servants have appeared.
As for Assassin, if nothing else goes wrong, he should be the unknown monster summoned by the Matou family. After all, there are candidates for other classes.
Because Lucia couldn't find Assassin with his future vision, he thought that the monster might also have magic skills that rivaled Semiramis, so it was not impossible to create this imaginary number creation.
However, there is another possibility.
That black shadow may be the appearance of the Great Holy Grail on the outside.
The Great Holy Grail, which was contaminated by a large amount of negative emotions, became functionally disordered and became the Black Holy Grail, filled with a large number of curses.
And because the servant is also the crystallization of the Great Holy Grail's ability, it can be said to have the same origin as the curse. In this case, it makes sense that the black shadow can contaminate the servant.
But as a result, new problems have arisen.
The Great Holy Grail does not have the ability to manifest itself in the outside world. It itself does not have that kind of intelligence and function. If the Black Holy Grail can really appear in the outside world, it must have used a certain medium.
"Hello, Master Tosaka."
Thinking of this, Liu Xia suddenly raised her head and looked at Tohsaka Rin aside.
"Since you are the manager of this land, do you know if there are any magicians with imaginary numbers in this city?"
If the black shadow is really the manifestation of the Black Great Holy Grail in the outside world, then it must have used a certain magician with imaginary attributes as a medium.
"Imaginary number properties... imaginary numbers?"
Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard this, and then his eyes suddenly darkened.
"...No, I don't know. This kind of thing is a magician's secret. No one would ask about it without knowing it."
She looked away, not looking at Liu Xia.
Although she looked very natural, Liu Xia, who had a very keen eye, could see through her insincere nature at a glance.
She must have known.
But he didn't want to tell Liu Xia.
Is it because of family secrets, or is it for other reasons?
"...Forget it, that thing will show up sooner or later."
Liu Xia thought for a while, then finally shook her head and gave up on pursuing the true identity of the black shadow.
After all, his purpose for participating in this Holy Grail War did not include playing puzzle games.
Whether it was Assassin's creation or the manifestation of the Black Great Holy Grail in the outside world, it had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, when the demon dragon comes out of the Black Holy Grail, he will have completed the task of defeating the servants. By then, he will destroy the Black Great Holy Grail, the Grand Caster, the imaginary creation and the curse that polluted the servants, and everything will be forcibly ended.
"Lancer, what are you going to do?"
Liu Xia looked at Lancer who was standing aside, "Do you want to continue to decide the outcome with them?"
As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed just now suddenly became heavy and solemn again.
The look in Saber's eyes as she looked at this side contained complex emotions such as confusion, unwillingness, and depression. Even the dull hair on her head became wilted at some point.
"...I'm sorry, Rider."
Lancer met her complicated eyes, and the words full of determination in his mouth became somewhat unspeakable for some reason.
"Can you give me one more day? I want to take this opportunity to completely reverse the unrealistic wishes in her heart."
Whether it's Saber or Lancer, in the final analysis, it's her.
Since it is her own words, she must not ignore the wrong wishes in the other party's heart, and must find a way to correct her thoughts.
"It's just a day or two, that's nothing."
Liu Xia glanced at her and said nonchalantly: "However, when the Master wakes up later, it will be up to you to explain."
"I understand, thank you."
Lancer said nothing, thanked Lucia, and then looked at Saber opposite.
The two looked at each other.
The firm eyes and the wavering look formed a sharp contrast.
"Get ready. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Lancer didn't say much, he just left these words to Saber.
Immediately, she clamped the horse's belly, letting the horse's hooves step on the void, flew into the sky, and flew towards the distant mountain town.
Liu Xia followed closely behind, spraying flames from her feet, and left the open space.
Within half a minute, the two people completely disappeared from the sight of the four people here.
Only Saber and Rin Tohsaka were left there wondering what they were thinking, Shirou Emiya who didn't know what to say, and the heroic spirit Emiya with a gloomy look on his face as he looked in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
The four of them were deeply concerned and fell into silence.
So far.
The second night of the Holy Grail War comes to an end.
