Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Yellow Rose That Finally Doesn't Have to Be Broken
A futile sense of powerlessness eroded Saber's heart, but she remained undaunted and continued to wield her sword. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lancer and Saber are in a horn formation, and every time Saber slashes a sword, he will refill it, and if he doesn't, the Sea Devil's exaggerated self-healing ability will be restored to its original state in a second.
However, the yellow rose can suppress the self-healing of wounds, but it cannot suppress the proliferation of the sea devil itself. Protozoa-like properties allow sea demons to self-proliferate from any part of their body. A tentacle is cut off, and the sea devil directly absorbs the section, and then grows a new body.
All of this was in vain------ no, even a little bit would make sense to slow down the Sea Devils. But as long as you think about the end in the near future, what you do now is nothing more than a useless struggle.
If only Moralltach were here, such a piece of meat would be two swords at most.
No, there is no point in sighing about such an impossible thing.
Lancer gritted his teeth and cleared away distractions, swinging his spear faster and faster, but judging by the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, such an attack would not last long, but the knight of the gun with a noble temperament would not give up.
"Hey, Saber, Lancer! there's no end to it if it goes on like this, retreat for now!"
Hearing the Rider shouting from the chariot overhead, Saber shouted a shout.
"What a fool's errand! if you don't stop it here—"
Several pieces of tentacles fell from above, sending out large splashes of water, and on the largest piece stood Skaha, who was wielding a sword.
"The temporary retreat is for a better offense, I agree with Rider. ”
"Do you have any great ideas? Lancer asked, stabbing the yellow rose through the flesh at Skaha's feet—it was trying to split and regenerate.
"One thought, indeed. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"
Without waiting for Skaha to finish speaking, Rider shook the reins vigorously and drove the two sacred cows to the shore, and did not forget to leave two divine thunderbolts for the sea devil before leaving.
With a flick of his left hand, a soft whip pierced the air, grabbed the handrail of the Rider chariot, and slid all the way through the Kamui wheel.
Saber and lancer looked at each other, each firing their last sword or two shots with all their might, and ran across the water after Rider, retreating back to the riverbank where Alice Fell was waiting.
Skaha, who landed with the Kamui wheel, walked straight to Alice Field, stared at the android with unblinking eyes, and said, "Lord Saber, we need your help. ”
"I, me?" Alice Fell subconsciously took a step back, her pretty red eyes full of doubt, "Well, what do I need to do-"
"Quite simply, I want you to give Saber back what belonged to Saber. ”
“!!!”
Hearing Skaha's words, Alice Phil's body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
Unlike Alice Phil's shock and panic, the others didn't understand at all, and Saber asked, "What do you mean, Assassin, is there anything Alice Phil wants to give me back?"
"Yes, that's your relic, the 'bond' between you—" Skaha pointed two fingers at Alice Phil's chest, "—your scabbard. ”
"!!" This time it was Saber's turn to be shocked, she looked at Skaha, then turned to Alice Phil, and muttered, "I... It's mine... Scabbard?"
Skaha sighed softly. She wouldn't want to expose the matter here if she could, but to resolve the current state of affairs, getting Saber back from the scabbard was the best solution, at least better than the remaining two options she could think of.
"Alice Phil..."
Perhaps unable to withstand Saber's expectant gaze, Alice Fell gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Your scabbard is with me, sealed in my body in the form of a conceptual armament, is... No, nothing, I'm trying to ask why would the Assassin know?"
It was her husband Emiya Kiritsugu who handed over the scabbard to Alice Phil, and in order to ensure the safety of his wife, who came forward as acting lord, Kiritsugu also specifically told Alice Phil not to let Saber know. Alice Phil complied with her husband's instructions, but deep down she always felt guilty about it, the scabbard was originally the property of the Knight King, and she and her husband borrowed it without telling her.
However, only Alice Phil and Kiritsugu know about this matter, how did the others know?
"I told her. Although the news of the scabbard being unearthed in Convên was deliberately concealed by the Einzberen family, it is a pity that the people involved in the excavation and search were not tight-lipped. ”
Shinji, who didn't know when he would return, replied in place of Skaha, using an excuse that had been prepared in advance.
"The Knight King's presence in Saber's position proves the truth of the news, and the fact that Saber was sealed in his left hand by Lancer's Yellow Rose shows that the scabbard has not returned to Saber's hands, and anyone who has read Arthurian legend knows the miraculous property of the scabbard - the person who holds the scabbard cannot be injured. ”
The reason for this was simple, he didn't want Lancer to destroy his own Phantasm, as described in FateZero.
Saber's trump card is the city treasure, which has the terrifying power to completely destroy the sea demon with a single blow, but to free the treasure's true name, Saber must use both hands. Now that Saber's left hand is sealed by a curse, and he is unable to free the Noble Phantasm's true name, there are only two ways to lift the curse, killing Lancer, or destroying the source of the curse.
With the deliberate revelation of Emiya Kiritsugu, Lancer learned about this, and for the sake of his own chivalry, in order to prevent the sea demon from destroying Fuyuki City, he personally broke the perishable Yellow Rose and freed Saber's left hand. In doing so, Lancer lost the possibility of winning the Holy Grail War, which indirectly led to his later tragic end.
Skaha doesn't want to see the warrior she admires end up like this, so Shinji designs a new script for her, and in return, Skaha needs to give Shinji a promise.
The script opens at this moment, and the male protagonist is unaware of it, still looking at the Knight King with surprised eyes, watching the Knight King walk up to Alice Field, hold the latter's hand, and speak in a voice that seems to permeate his whole body.
"It turns out that Alice Phil is my sheath. ”
The comfortable touch from her hand soaked Alice Field's heart, and at this moment she forgot her husband's instructions and forgot all her distractions.
There was an inexplicable surging pulsing in her chest, it was a heartbeat, and it was the longing for the old thing to return to its old master.
In the similar and different brilliance of King Arthur's golden holy sword, the scabbard slowly left her body.
The sheath of the same color as the holy sword is inlaid with royal blue enamel decoration, and in the center is engraved the long-lost fairy script, which is the lost scabbard of King Arthur.
The light of guardianship reflects the faces of Saber and Alice Phil.
Alice Phil took the scabbard in both hands and handed it to Saber.
"Saber, bring me victory. ”
"Yes, I must!"
Saber pressed the scabbard with his weaker left hand and solemnly declared.
