Chapter 97: Commit Suicide, Lancer!
Even if everyone forgets, Shuo Yue himself cannot forget - his remaining life has entered a countdown.
Perhaps in that world line, the giant hero was directly blown to pieces by Niang Shining's EA, leaving no body behind, so the reborn Shuo Yue could only walk in this world with a body made of magic power.
From a player who followed Goldfinger on missions to a mortal who had to struggle to survive, Shuo Yue had been secretly angry, cursed, and spurned the cruel joke of fate.
But no matter what, if he doesn't want to die, he must save himself.
This is the moon-shaped world. If you simply transfer consciousness, there are many methods - in terms of the upper limit, there is the legendary third method, and the technique of the top puppet master Aozaki Yuko; in terms of the lower limit, the old bug's survival, or the incarnation It would not be a bad idea to become a Death Apostle, or to have a Chaos Nest within his body like Nero Kaos.
So after realizing his problem, Sakusuki went through the information about the Third Method of the Einzbern family. On the day he arrived in Fuyuki City, he bloodbathed the Matou family. After getting Assassin, he ordered them to leave. On the battlefield, look for the hidden crowned puppet master and possible traces of the apostle...
But he himself stayed in this Holy Grail War.
Of course, part of the reason is to meet the characters in the previous life, but the more important factor is for the almighty cauldron of wishes - even if it is contaminated.
Gilgamesh was vomited out by the evil in this world and gained a physical body.
Sakutsu, who had already begun to get a glimpse of the third method, naturally had a way to get rid of the curse. What's more, in addition to Aozaki Orange, he also asked Assassin to find another important figure in the 'Sky Realm'-Rou Ritual.
Although from the timeline, the current Shiki is far from awakening, the root Shiki has existed since its birth.
Wake her up and many things will be solved.
...But it is too unstable to bet your hopes on other people.
The young man with golden eyes closed his eyes and let out a subtle sigh.
Call him arrogant or call him stupid. His vision has gone beyond the simple desire of "living at all costs" and has settled on the goal of "living more perfectly."
For this reason, he wants to compete for the Holy Grail with his own hands and use his own power to gain the favor of the Third Law.
He also had reasons to participate in the Holy Grail War.
As the oldest hero king, if Gilgamesh is serious about it, he can end the Holy Grail War overnight.
With the advantage of foresight and good strength as a foundation, Shuo Yue can also end this battle in a short time - but this makes no sense.
What he needs is not victory. In order to achieve his goal, Shuo Yue still needs time, time to prepare everything completely.
Shuo Yue hopes to meet the heroic spirits, is eager to fight with them, and is also looking forward to the king's banquet that will definitely happen in the future... But before that, he must ensure that he survives.
Only by living can he see more scenery, witness more encounters and partings, and fulfill the little wish that the man entrusted to him.
There was no way he would let Miyu fight to the death. That girl should enjoy a beautiful reunion, not a bloody night.
But the Holy Grail is also what he wants to pursue.
For this... he needs new followers.
Sorry, Lancer, Artoria.
Behind him, Kenneth's eyes were red, he raised his trembling arms, and launched his last power as the Lancer Master.
"As commanded by the command spell - commit suicide, Lancer!"
————
That was, a few minutes ago.
"No, it's not me, it's all Lancer's fault! If it weren't for his weakness, how could I have been forced to this point!"
Kenneth fiercely refuted Shuo Yue's words, but the young man just gave him a cold back and did not say any words.
Even though his lips were moving, he seemed to be saying something.
A chill suddenly gripped Kenneth's heart. In the eerie silence, he subconsciously turned the wheelchair and changed the direction of his body.
It was dark deep inside the scrapyard, with only a ray of moonlight shining in from the skylight on the roof like a searchlight, illuminating a corner.
Under the faint cold moonlight, the restrained Sorawu's eyes widened, and tears of fear flowed from his bloodless face.
On her head was a dark submachine gun.
What a small, inconspicuous weapon - yet the bullets spit out by this weapon took away Kenneth's magic circuit, and then, also took away his fiancée's life.
Looking up from the arm holding the gun, what he saw was the man's face, but Kenneth almost forgot to breathe.
With a shabby coat, messy hair, and stubble all over his face, this man was raising his finger to his lips, signaling Kenneth to be quiet.
At first glance, he looked extremely ordinary, but he had a pair of piercing eyes like sharp swords. Kenneth would never forget it until his death. It was this hateful lackey raised by the Einzbern family who viciously destroyed him. magic circuit.
The man might have sneaked in through the back door while Saber and Lancer were concentrating on fighting. The submachine gun in his hand was pointed at the head of Sora Wu who was lying on the ground, and the muzzle did not move.
"It turned out... it was him..." Kenneth had personally experienced the man's coldness and carefulness like a venomous snake, and anger and hatred burned in his heart - but the deeper despair made him bow his head.
This was simply the worst situation, the beloved woman actually fell into the hands of the enemy he didn't even want to think about.
The remaining rationality told Kenneth that this man showed up specifically to let him see that Sorawu was safe and sound, and he must have some intention.
But he couldn't guess what Emiya Kiritsugu's intention was, so he could only nod silently, indicating that he was willing to follow the other party's instructions.
Seeing this, the man took out a roll of parchment from his coat with his other free hand, shook it casually, and threw it into the air, and it landed lightly on Kenneth's knees.
[Binding ritual · Target - Emiya Kiritsugu]
[Swear by Emiya Kiritsugu's magic seal, subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions, the contract will become a commandment, binding the target without exception. 】
[Pledge: Kiritsugu, son of Norihito, the fifth-generation heir of the Emiya family, is permanently prohibited from having any intention or behavior to kill or harm Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud and Soraw Nazaire Sofiare. 】
[Condition: …………]
Thinking that he was dazzled, Kenneth rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. Finally, he saw the only condition required by this contract -
[Use all remaining Command Spells to order the Servant to commit suicide. 】
This was the second self-enforcement certificate after the New Moon, but it did not make Kenneth show too much shock or dissatisfaction. He just looked at Lancer who was still fighting for him in the distance with his tired, gray blue eyes, and then turned his eyes and looked lifelessly at Kiritsugu Emiya and Soraw who was looking for help under his gun.
Kiritsugu Emiya was late. He did not know that the self-enforcement certificate he wrote had a conflict with another young man, a fatal conflict.
But Kayneth had no right to appeal, because the life of the woman he loved had been transferred from one person to another, but was never taken back by Kayneth.
It was as if... he had never really won Solaw's heart.
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know that Kayneth had already prepared to die. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at the once-famous genius with some surprise as he raised his arm and calmly activated the last Command Seal:
"Command Seal - commit suicide, Lancer!"
So on the battlefield, the spearman who was fighting fiercely suddenly twisted his arm, and before he could even show a stunned expression, he stabbed the tip of the spear into his heart!
Don't worry, it's impossible to die in this way.
