Chapter 459 The Knight King with a Scabbard

"Saber, please listen to me..."

Because Aelin killed the Conquering King Iskandar last night and absorbed the soul of the Conquering King Iskandar, Irisviel has lost most of his human functions.

Now, Irisviel only has five senses left.

Saying these words seemed to consume a lot of Irisviel's energy.

"Irisviel..."

Seeing Irisviel in this state, Artoria had a sad expression on her face and came to Irisviel's side.

"Irisviel, just tell me, I'm listening."

"Saber..."

"Avalon is the holy relic that our Einzbern family found in the ruins of Fairy Lake."

"It was with the help of this holy relic that we successfully summoned you."

Because Artoria was close, Irisviel didn't have to speak so loudly, which greatly eased Irisviel's condition and made Irisviel speak much more fluently.

"As for why I am like this..."

Next, Irisviel explained to Artoria the existence of the Einzbern family and the fact that she, as a homunculus, was also the carrier of the Holy Grail for this generation.

"how so……"

After listening to Irisviel's explanation, Artoria couldn't believe it.

She never imagined that Irisviel, who was full of hope for life and lived so happily every day, was destined to die in this Holy Grail War.

Regardless of who obtains the Holy Grail, as the carrier of the Holy Grail, Irisviel's own changes are irreversible.

As long as enough Servant souls are absorbed, the will of the Holy Grail will appear in Irisviel and come out to fulfill the wishes of the person who lives the Holy Grail.

"As for what Kiritsugu did last night..."

When Irisviel was good, she was the lubricant between Artoria and Emiya Kiritsugu. She was able to convey to Artoria the intentions and thoughts of everything Emiya Kiritsugu did. Listen, let Artoria not feel disgusted by the actions taken by Emiya Kiritsugu.

But now, Irisviel's own body functions are no longer enough to allow her to move. Perhaps, this will be the last time Irisviel explains to Artoria what Emiya Kiritsugu did.

"Have you seen the power of Saber, Archer and Berserker?"

"With the strength they have shown before, if Kiritsugu doesn't do something, we will have no chance of winning this Holy Grail War."

After hearing what Irisviel said, Artoria clenched her fists.

However, she could not refute this sentence.

Because, that's the truth.

No matter how confident Arturia was in herself, she didn't feel that she could fight against the Hero King Gilgamesh and the Berserker from another world without Avalon.

At such a moment, it is not unacceptable for Emiya Kiritsugu to choose to assassinate Archer's master in order to win.

Although Artoria abides by chivalry, she is also a "king".

As King Arthur, she also knew that all actions taken in the war were reasonable.

"So, Kiritsugu infiltrated Archer's master's mansion this time because he wanted to form an alliance with Archer's master and together defeat the Berserker who poses the greatest threat."

"However, before Kiritsugu started discussing with Archer's master, he saw Archer's master being killed by Kotomine Kirei."

"And Archer is clearly siding with Kotomine Kirei."

"Last night, not only did you miss your appointment, Saber, but Archer also didn't keep it."

"However, judging from the extra soul of Rider in my body, neither of you went to the appointment last night, so Rider and Berserker had a battle."

"The final result is that Berserker wins."

"Saber, the only Servants left now are you, Archer, and Berserker."

"I hope, Saber, you can communicate well with Kiritsugu in the next time..."

"If you two work together..."

"Yes, if Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu work together, then this Holy Grail War may not have anything to do with me and the Hero King Gilgamesh."

After a brilliant flash of light, Aylin's figure appeared beside Irisviel, and placed his index and middle fingers on Irisviel's forehead.

"Berserker?"

"Whoosh!"

After seeing Aylin appear, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly retreated, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and attacked Aylin.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Facing the bullet fired by Emiya Kiritsugu, Aylin stretched out his left hand.

"The Eighth Path of Binding - Rebuke!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A transparent defensive light curtain condensed in front of Aylin. The bullets fired by Emiya Kiritsugu bombarded the transparent light curtain, causing the light curtain to appear with transparent ripples like water waves.

However, not a single bullet could break through this defensive light curtain.

"What do you want to do? Berserker!"

On the other side, Artoria waved her hand, and her own magic power formed a blue armor covering her body. At the same time, she held the Sword of Promised Victory wrapped in the Wind King's barrier with both hands and pointed it at Aylin.

The violent whirlwind spun around Artoria, tearing everything around her violently.

"Get away from Irisviel quickly, otherwise, I will attack you immediately!"

"Don't worry, Knight King, I won't cause any harm to Ms. Irisviel."

After looking up and saying something to Artoria, Aylin began to put his mind on Irisviel.

"Synchronize--Begin!"

The red and black spiritual pressure emanated from Aylin's index and middle fingers, turning into lines after lines, emanating from Irisviel's forehead and gradually spreading to Irisviel's whole body.

If Irisviel was still considered a "human" before, then Erin's method would naturally not work on her.

But now, Irisviel is more like a "tool" than a "human".

Therefore, the ability "synchronization" attached to Erin's Infinite Sword allows Erin to read all the information of the tool called "Irisviel".

This includes the technology of artificial humans created by the Einzbern family for Irisviel, and the characteristics of Irisviel's gradual transformation into the "Holy Grail".

"No Avalon?"

When Erin and Irisviel were completely synchronized and analyzed Irisviel, Erin discovered that there was no Avalon in Irisviel's body?

Did Emiya Kiritsugu not transplant this conceptual weapon into Irisviel's body yet?

But Erin had clearly heard them talking about Avalon just now.

Retracting his fingers, Erin sighed.

"Boom!"

After Erin retracted his fingers, Altria seized the opportunity and thrust the invisible sword in her hand forward.

"Wind King Hammer!"

The strong wind surrounding the Sword of Promised Victory was gathered by Altria and turned into a powerful wind shock wave that attacked Erin.

"Swoosh!"

Erin's figure flashed and avoided Altria's attack.

Afterwards, Altria stepped forward and stood between Erin and Irisviel.

"Kiritsugu, I'll stop this guy, you move Irisviel to a safe place first."

Holding the golden sword in both hands, Altria said to Kiritsugu Emiya.

Although he did not approve of Kiritsugu Emiya's actions, it was about Irisviel, and Altria also wanted Irisviel to suffer some other injuries before her life was about to end.

"Berserker, if you want to take Irisviel away, ask the sword in my hand if it agrees first!"

"Take Irisviel away?"

Alin smiled when he heard what Artoria said.

"Knight King, you underestimate me, don't you?"

"I want to get the Holy Grail, so I don't need to do anything like taking Irisviel away."

"As long as I defeat you and the Hero King Gilgamesh, no one can compete with me for the Holy Grail after it descends."

"I don't need to compete for Irisviel at all."

Artoria looked solemn.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Berserker did have such strength and confidence.

Artoria, who had fought with Berserker, knew deeply the huge gap in strength between herself and Berserker.

But this was not a reason for Artoria to admit defeat!

"Berserker, if you are not here to fight for Irisviel, why are you here?"

Seeing that Emiya Kiritsugu took Irisviel away and Berserker did not stop him, Artoria knew that what Berserker said was true.

"Knight King, I've said that before, right?"

"My dream is to become a 'god' who can create the world, and then save the world I was in before."

"And your scabbard Avalon can unfold a powerful barrier that isolates the world. This ability related to 'creation' is what I'm looking for."

"Therefore, I came this time to seize your scabbard Avalon."

"I originally thought that the man named Emiya Kiritsugu would transplant Avalon to Irisviel to relieve Irisviel's pain."

"But I didn't sense the existence of Avalon from Irisviel before."

"Knight King, can you tell me where Avalon is?"

"As long as you give me Avalon, I can put our battle to the end and let you fight me for the final battle of the Holy Grail."

"Berserker, although I admire your dream, Avalon is my strongest treasure. Do you think I might give it to you?"

"Oh?"

Hearing what Altria said, Ayling raised his eyebrows.

"Could it be that the selfish man just now handed Avalon to you?"

If that's the case, it's a bit troublesome.

Altria with Avalon in hand and Altria without Avalon in hand are two different concepts.

"That's right, Berserker, wake up!"

Raising the Sword of Promised Victory in her hand high, the golden light gathered around Altria.

The extremely dazzling golden light, as dazzling as the sun, pierced through the clouds.

Then, Altria slashed the huge golden lightsaber at Aylin.

"Ex——"

"caliber!"

"Boom!"

The extremely powerful torrent of light was slashed by Altria and attacked Aylin.

Altria knew that she was no match for Berserker in the battle of swordsmanship.

To win, the only way to decide the outcome was to use the power of the treasure.

Therefore, Altria started with a curry stick.

"This is really a grand welcome ceremony..."

Looking at the incoming torrent of light, Aylin took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand.

The black and red spiritual pressure condensed at the tip of Aylin's index finger.

"Flash of Wang Xu!"

"Boom!"

The huge magic power erupted between Aylin's fingers.

The black and red spiritual pressure torrent and the golden light torrent collided in the castle of the Einzbern family.

A mushroom cloud 100 meters high rose from the castle.

The evening sky was radiated by the golden and black and red light.

Two powerful magic torrents collided with each other, exploded, squeezed, and then released from the sky.

A few seconds later, a dazzling cross broke out in the sky, and then a powerful shock wave began to erupt.

"Boom!"

The flames and shock waves swept, and the castle of Einzbern, under this powerful shock wave, seemed to be wiped out by an invisible big hand.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Such a shock wave may be a fatal life-and-death crisis for others.

But for Ein and Altria, it was nothing.

The gravel, the wind, and the flames hit Ein's body, and even his "steel skin" could not be broken.

And these things, after scratching wounds on Altria's body, these wounds will heal instantly.

This is the power of Avalon.

Even if Avalon is not released, as long as Avalon is worn on the body, Altria's body will always remain at its peak state, immortal!

"Trouble!"

Ailin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before, he thought Altria was deceiving him.

But now it seems that Emiya Kiritsugu has indeed handed Avalon to Altria.

Otherwise, Altria's injuries would not be able to recover so quickly.

In this way, it is basically impossible to defeat Altria in this state.

As long as Avalon is released, even if Ailin destroys the entire Fuyuki City, Altria will not be hurt at all.

The only thing that restricts Altria is probably the magic power of Emiya Kiritsugu, right?

However, if Avalon can lock Altria's own magic power at its peak, even if the magic power provided by Emiya Kiritsugu is insufficient, it seems that Altria will not have much impact.

Unless Kiritsugu Emiya is killed completely and his magic connection with Artoria is cut off.

If the Master is lost, even Artoria, who owns Avalon, will have to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, right?

However, this thought just flashed through Aylin's mind and was abandoned by Aylin. (End of this chapter)
