After seeing Hercules leave, Shinji walked up to Skaha's side and raised his hand to carve the healing rune.

"Master, it's okay. ”

"It's okay, this time I didn't die. ”

Skaha spoke exaggerated words in a complaining tone as he slowly straightened up. The wound on her shoulder was no longer bleeding, and it was unknown how she had treated it.

"Don't be reckless at this time. ”

Shinji put one hand on the craftsman's shoulders and pressed the other hand on her waist, looking like he was going to take advantage of the situation to hug a princess.

However, before exerting his strength, Skaha took the first step to open one of Shinji's hands with his uninjured hand, and said angrily, "I'm not weak enough to that extent. ”

Shinji looked at the arm that bounced back and touched his nose with it: "I almost forgot that the master craftsman is the queen, and it's not appropriate to hold the princess, or I'll carry you, it's really okay to carry you away." ”

This deliberate pretending of innocence naturally drew the rolls of Skaha's eyes: "Put away your ghost idea, don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Well, I admit that my mind is not so pure, but you are indeed injured and have difficulty moving, and the disciple can't leave you alone. ”

"I don't need you to worry about it, you forgot, I'm a slave, I can be spiritualized, no matter how badly injured, it won't affect my activities. ”

"......" Shinji's expression suddenly froze. Gan, how did I forget about spiritualization, not being restricted by physical rules is equal to not being affected by injuries, and it also saves mana, which is the best way to recover from injuries.

The complaint in her heart did not hide from Skaha's discernment, she stretched out her finger and poked Shinji's head, and complained angrily and funny: "You...... I really don't know what to say about you. You're still talking nonsense to me here, who are you looking for?"

Ahad ...... Damn, I ran away!"

Hearing what the master said, Shinji realized that the old guy who had been protected by Hercules had disappeared. It is estimated that when he demolished the building, the blockade was lifted, and Ahad took the opportunity to run out.

Perhaps Hercules' final battle also means to buy time for the Master, and heroes are heroes no matter what.

"Master, can you determine his location?"

"In the direction of the back mountain, I didn't go far, and it's too late to chase now. ”

"Okay, I'll chase it!"

Shinji immediately poured magic into his feet, and just took half a step, he stopped again, turned his head and asked.

"Master, is it really okay for you to be alone?"

"No problem, go ahead, that thing is important to you and Yustiza, isn't it?"

Skaha's face was pale, but he still smiled and waved his hand.

"Well, you have a good rest, I'll be back soon.

The steps finally landed, and the white clothes broke through the air, and they were fleeting.

When Shinji's figure disappeared completely, the queen of the Demon Realm lowered her arms, her body fell back as if she had lost her center of gravity, and the blood that had been stopped gushed out again, and her deep and strong eyes also revealed a trace of weakness.

Even so, she was still laughing, with a deep mockery, not knowing if she was mocking her disciple or herself.

"The vision is still not good, Shinji. Now I, what are you really going to do, I can't resist at all. Hehe, I'm really a little lazy, I actually have such thoughts...... When will such days end...... Death...... End...... Setant...... Shen 2 ......"

His eyes were closed, and his voice was murmuring, almost inaudible.

◇◇◇

"Ha, huh, huh, huh——!"

With the breath of a beast, Ahad wandered in the forest.

No, he was actually following the exact route, but he felt as if he was lost.

For this body that only cares about fleeing for its life, the word hesitation has been most appropriate.

Of course, in the style of Einzbelen, Yahad at this time probably did not realize that he was deviating from the central program of the castle. Jubstacheit.

The reality gap between the realization of the victory in his hands and the exit not long after the start of the war made his mood fluctuate more and more, and also made him finally begin to change to a human being after suppressing his inner emotions for two hundred years.

"Damn—why is this happening?"

With one hand, he plucked the branches and ran through the wet dirt.

Leaving a bloody trail on the road, the old man marched along the pre-determined back road.

Although it is the highest-level android created by Jubstacheit, his enhancement direction is magic and longevity, and his physical functions are not excellent, and it can even be said that he is fragile. When he escaped from the constantly collapsing villa, he was naturally hit by rubble a few times and suffered a lot of injuries.

"Hahu, huh, ah!"

The left shoulder could no longer be lifted, and the right foot was also limping. He couldn't walk well with one hand or one foot, and his feet slipped and fell into the tree.

In this condition, it won't be long before your wounds will fester, which will affect your entire body functions, and you may also die.

A certain emotion gradually boiled in the heart of the old man who was numb, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Ahemha, hahahaha. ”

For no reason, inexplicable laughter, laughter like a cough, hysteria.

"Isn't this the same as the third time, when I was well prepared, but in the end it didn't come in handy at all. ”

Laughing and laughing, the high-pitched mood quickly subsided again.

“…… In this way, aren't they even as good as those two traitors?"

No matter what attitude you take towards Emiya Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, you can't hide the fact that they managed to go to the end in the last Holy Grail War, became the victors, and brought the Holy Grail ......

As soon as he thought of this, there was a nameless anger burning in the old man's heart, burning him all over his body, as if the whole person was broken.

"Why? Why should you give up your hard-won victory? Why should you give up your wishes? Are all your previous words false?"

He, not understanding, not understanding, not clear.

"You'll never understand your words, but you, the puppet of the central program Jubstacheit, who obey orders. ”

The sudden sound made Ahad stop, and a man appeared in his blurred vision.

A thin figure, a black trench coat, and an indifferent expression, just like when he came to the castle twenty years ago.

"Emiya...... Kiritsu. The old man gritted his teeth and pronounced the name that he had personally nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Long time no see, Ahadion. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the old face, his gaze as complicated as the old man's.

"What are you doing here?"

"Come and thank you, and come and apologize. Thank you for meeting Alice Phil and for meeting Illya. I'm sorry, but I had to kill you for their safety. ”

The trench coat fluttered in the wind, and the former cold-blooded killer raised his gun.
