“I never expected that the hidden condition would be this…” Looking at the record that was ultimately not achieved, Shuoyue didn’t regret it, but he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Becoming the friend of the Hero King, really, no matter how difficult it is, there must be a limit. I’m not Zabiko, how can I do it?”

In front of him, the interlaced prison sickles and dust saws were covered with cracks, and even holes were eroded by the violent power of the world, and Shuoyue’s whole body was reflected through the holes.

Further ahead, in front of the two God-made swords, the collapsed magic circle, the iron filings that turned into powder and dissipated, and the completely disappeared Blazing Sky Ring… Even with so many defenses in front of him, the Hero King’s full-strength attack that burned the spiritual base was still unstoppable. Even the shadow border was distorted by the power of the world’s creation and lost the power to dodge.

If Shuoyue had not used the reward obtained from Saber at the end and fully projected the Sword of Promised Victory to deal with it, he might have really overturned because of Archer's hateful attack.

"I'm willing to sacrifice my spiritual base to give you a hard blow. Okay, I'll remember this grudge. Don't let me meet you again, Golden Pika..."

Although he got the compensation of fully projected EA, it's still not happy to consume another reward for one reward.

But the success of another reward made Shuoyue's mood turn from gloomy to sunny.

Golden Rule: C

As the skill describes on the surface, the so-called Golden Rule is the fate of being entangled in wealth throughout life. Although it is not very useful for fighting, there is not only endless fighting in life. In addition to ttk, there is also a beautiful life waiting in the future, especially for Shuoyue.

Although he is not as high as A-level as Gilgamesh, he is already very satisfied.

Under the moonlight, Shuoyue's white hair flickered with a faint fluorescent light, and her golden pupils reflected the hair color of the knight in front.

Now, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, and Archer have all left. Although there are three servants left, Caster and Assassin are loyal to Shuoyue. In other words, now is the time for the last two camps to showdown.

Assassin is useless in a frontal battle, and Saber's powerful anti-magic power also makes it difficult for Miyu to take action. Not showing up all the time can make Saber more vigilant. After all, my command seal is still on the back of my hand, and I can summon a servant at any time.

Even if these plans are put aside...

The red spear cut through the night sky, and Shuoyue danced a gun flower casually, looking at Saber with a burning gaze, not hiding his inner fighting spirit.

As a warrior, as a Knight of the Round Table, I also want to fight the leader of the knights, the invincible King Arthur!

"Come on, Saber!"

Faced with Shuoyue's challenge, Saber responded with a heroic smile:

"I'll keep you company till the end!"

The idea of ​​resting was thrown out of her mind, and the feeling of exhaustion was burned out by the will to fight. The two knights, who had blocked an EA by their own means, waved their guns and swords and took another step.

"Sword barrel full open!"

"Strike Air!"

The first round of confrontation came in an instant, and the cold iron-light blade tore through the wind field, and rushed to the high sky with the storm. At the same time, the golden light and the red light crisscrossed, weaving a death curtain that no one could approach.

】

That was a spear tip like a shadow.

The scarlet spear blade pierced the heart.

This was not an attack that humans could avoid.

Since it was a shadow, it could not be captured by human eyes.

However, the trailing red shadow was bounced off by a dazzling light. The brilliant golden light seemed to condense people's wishes, gently and vastly blocking the stab.

"Billiards!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of steel colliding, the two figures separated at the touch, and in an instant they stuck together like a couple on their honeymoon, with cold murderous intent in their movements and conversations.

"You can actually keep up with the attack with magic, you are worthy of being the Knight King."

"Same here, my intuition hasn't trembled so much in a long time."

"Why do you want to pursue the Holy Grail? You should have no reason to seek it, right?"

"Do you want to crush me in will, my knight?" Raising his hand and swinging his sword, even such a simple action, it was extremely pleasing to the eye when performed by Saber, "I have already sworn allegiance to Irisviel. Since Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail, then I am also the guardian of the Holy Grail - if you want to obtain the Holy Grail, you must first win my approval!"

"How cunning, Saber."

"It's just a test. If you can do it, come on - but you are the first person to know that there is a problem with the Holy Grail. If so, why do you go to such lengths to get it?"

"That's because I need it to save my life, Saber."

"What--!"

Shock and flaw in battle are synonymous. Saber, who was in a state of mental turmoil, was seized by Sakutsuki, who swept away the Sword of Promised Victory with a shot, and then held the two swords and killed Saber in close range.

"You know, Saber, the body I have is just a tool made of magic power, just like the Servant. Once the magic power inside is exhausted, my 'life' will come to an end!"

"So the reason why you pursue the Holy Grail is..."

"Yes, to prolong your life - in a way similar to incarnation." At this point, Shuoyue can finally speak out his purpose. "The black mud in the Holy Grail is a degraded replica of the 'Original Sea', but even if it is an inferior existence, it can make up for my vacancy and make my soul regain its form."

"But you said that the black mud is a product contaminated by 'all the evil in this world'!"

"Yes, so I already have a way to deal with it."

The black and white swords swung in an arc, cut off Saber's shoulder armor, and scattered her hair. When Saber's hair fell, Shuoyue's eyes were filled with platinum light.

"The third law: Soul materialization."

The system of the Holy Grail War originally combined the incomplete third law of the Einzbern family. The black mud created by the Holy Grail system can naturally be purified by the light of the third law.

"Therefore, I have an irreconcilable reason, Saber--fall down, Hell Scythe, Dust Saw!"

The starlight was dim, and the heavy emerald heavy sword and the huge flaming sword burning with flames fell with a bang, and it was about to crush Saber's foothold!

With her golden hair loose, Saber, who was less heroic and more gentle, looked up, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her holy blue eyes:

"Avalon!"

Calling the name of the unreachable utopia, the blue-gold scabbard that was enough to block all the laws of the world reappeared, blocking the two fierce and powerful God-made greatswords, but the next moment, countless magic patterns appeared where Saber was standing, running and merging, outlining a large magic circle that was pregnant with terrifying power.

"Avalon's defense is indeed strong, but the so-called ideal town (utopia) is always as fragile as a dream bubble, and people who wake up have to face the destruction from reality - just like if you remove the treasure at this moment, you will suffer countless fatal blows."

Sakutsuki, who imprisoned Saber in the cage, smiled slightly, and his smile was full of joy after victory:

"So, I won, Altori--"

"Puff!"

Accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced, the magic circle surrounding Saber withered piece by piece, but Saber, who was relieved of the crisis, did not act immediately. She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, as if the things in front of her were incomprehensible.

Under the moonlight, the jade-colored magic girl held the magic spear and pierced the heart of the young man.
