In the face of Semiramis' provocation, Karna spoke calmly:

"Although it is true that there has been a change of masters, the person who has decided to summon me and ask me for help is undoubtedly one of those masters. And my Lord still longs for the Holy Grail even as his body is about to die. In that case, I can only fight for him with a gun, and that is my desire, and it is also my reward for being called. ”

"In other words, do you intend to continue serving your former master? What a fool's choice, great hero Karna. ”

Perhaps seeing his words as a declaration of hostility, Semiramis looked sinister.

Karna did not show the slightest timidity, but declared blandly:

"I don't care what you call me, but that's too much to elevate me, Empress of Assyria. I'm just a gun. ”

Except for Shirou. Everyone present was suddenly speechless. Having gained knowledge from the Holy Grail, they all know very well what this rare hero is.

If this statement comes from someone else's mouth, they will undoubtedly be angry or ridicule it, because excessive humility can turn into excessive inferiority and sarcasm.

But what he said just now was completely from the bottom of his heart. He did think so in his heart, and he was firmly convinced of it.

"Worthy of being a 'hero of giving', I'm afraid that even Joan of Arc is inferior to you, although it's a little different from what I thought, but it's not bad, please. ”

"Ah, even though the location has changed, the basic route of the enemy coming here to snatch the Holy Grail will not change. In that case, my gun just needs to continue to crusade against the enemy. And it's in line with my own wishes, it's the best option right now, and I'm going to do my best to burn all those who come to snatch the Holy Grail to ashes. ”

Could it be that this lancer, who seems to have no selfish desires at all, also has some hope for the Holy Grail?

Semiramis and Shakespeare were a little shaken, but Shirou knew it.

"It's a rematch with Saber the Black Siegfried. ”

"That's right. Because when he fought him in the first battle, he had asked for it. ”

It was a battle with no end, a sword with no end.

The Sharpshooter inflicted wounds on the immortal dragon scales again and again, and the Fantasy Greatsword continued to slice through the golden armor that could not have been injured again and again.

Neither a brutal killing, nor a passive battle in which each other's strength is hidden. It's just that both sides purely exerted their strength, but miraculously kept the balance of power in a state of balance.

The few hours until dawn were as short as an instant.

Capturing the expectation in Karna's eyes, Shirou readily agreed, "I will create an opportunity for you to have a fair fight, and no one will disturb you in this fight." ”

Karna bowed his head in gratitude, "Then let me ask, Shirou Kotomine, how exactly do you plan to use the Great Holy Grail to 'destroy the world'. ”

"That's what you say. To put it simply, it is to materialize the soul of all mankind by materializing the soul of the 'third magic' that created the Great Holy Grail, and to create a world where all people are happy. ”

Hearing such a shocking wish, Karna did not show the slightest surprise, but looked a little puzzled.

"I see. The boundaries of birth, death, and lifespan are among the basic attributes of human beings, and even these have changed, and in a sense human beings will no longer be human, and it can indeed be called the destruction of the world - but in another sense, it can also be regarded as a relief for all mankind. I can't measure whether your actions are good or bad for humanity, but I'm sure there will be heroes who will be moved by this desire. If you need strength to resist the hindrance of restraining forces, why use the most offensive phrase of 'destroy the world'? ”

"In order to show the charm of language, the same thing can be interpreted in different ways. Ah, you're the best master—"

"The Wine of the King of Pride!"

"Woooooooo

Semiramis finally couldn't bear Shakespeare, who was open-mouthed, and gave him poison to paralyze his vocal cords, and then complained to Shirou.

"That's right, Master, if you don't use this argument to push everyone against each other, you won't need to worry about reclaiming the Little Holy Grail. ”

"I'm not worried about it at all. ”

Shirou's relaxed attitude aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Huh?"

"Do you have any plan?"

"Of course I didn't have a clever plan or anything, but I just made some preparations in advance - do me a favor and transfer that stone box in my room. ”

"It's a small thing. ”

Hearing this, Semiramis stretched out a finger and clicked it casually twice, one meter square, and a stone box with various "holy seals" blessed on the surface appeared in front of Shirou.

Shirou reached out and patted the surface of the box, giving Semiramis a strange look, "I know you've always been curious about what's in here, but you can't open it. ”

Semiramis turned his head: "That's because there was no courtyard at that time, and I couldn't use my full strength, and I didn't have enough time." ”

"But your knowledge of magic has not been affected, and it doesn't take much magic and magic to solve this - or are you only good at violence and not good at fine manipulation?"

Being ruthlessly poked by Shirou, Semiramis couldn't help but blush and snorted, "It's not like a man." ”

"Alright, no kidding. This is the secret treasure of the church for many years, the 'holy ark', which is said to be a replica of the 'ark of the covenant' that houses the 'Ten Commandments of God', specially used to store precious holy relics - so easy for you to crack, the church's family has long been stolen by various servants or magicians. ”

Shirou said as he untied the "Sacred Relic Cloth" draped over his shoulders and draped it over the top of the "Sacred Ark".

With a slight "click", the cover at the top of the "Holy Ark" was flipped up, and then the four stone walls also flipped outward, revealing the golden contents inside, which were particularly dazzling against the background of the falling red "Holy Relic Cloth".

"This, this is-"

With the eyes of the servants, it was naturally impossible for the golden light to stop their sight. That's why they were shocked, because it was clearly a golden-colored cup, exactly like the legendary "Holy Grail" that held the blood of God.

Shirou reached out and grabbed the "Relic Cloth" that was about to fall to the ground, and used it to hold the Golden Cup.

"Attention, ladies and gentlemen—this is the complete Little Grail, the necessary part to drive the Great Grail. ”
