Chapter 489: The Ultimate Will
With his newly recovered body from petrification, Shirou ran towards the Morning Light Shimmering New Area. Here he meets lancer, Lancer's true form as Ken, the Revenant of World War IV.
After seeing the wild goose night, the audience was not surprised at all when they saw Director Ken again. I thought it would be like this, but Director Keken could still use the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid in the transformed state.
The function of the Moon Spirit Liquid is to automatically attack, seek enemies, and defend. It is highly functional, but because it is an automatic machine, the program is fixed. In the trial after trial, Shirou mastered the rules of operation of the Moon Spirit Marrow, stabbed the defense constructed by the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid with one sword, and strengthened the power of the first weapon with a more powerful weapon with the other hand, piercing the defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid. Those who have played FGO recognize this skill, and although there is a difference in the form of expression, it is indeed invincible.
The battle with Lancer has caused Shirou to suffer from his wounds, and he has no choice but to go to church to ask for help. After bandaging, Shirou adjusted his body to the top and ran towards the suburbs.
Here he met Saber. I thought it was another acquaintance, but none of the audience knew this Saber, although it looked similar to Lancelot, and Lancelot could also use the skill of "knight does not die with bare hands" to control the holy sword, but judging from the first few people who appeared, each of them was a person in the real world, so the identity of this character is a mystery.
The confrontation between the two is a strong showdown, and in the dialogue between the two, the audience finally knows Saber's identity. He was Julian's father, Zarik Eindworth. He is the only puppet who has retained a part of the human conscience so far, and his wish is indeed for the survival of the human race, which coincides with Kiritsugu's ideals, but for Shirou, who has lost everything, he has long since lost the future of humanity. And the future of mankind is not won by wishing, but by human hands to create, just like he is doing now, relying on his hands to work hard to save his sister from Julian's hands.
After the collapse of the talks, Shirou fell into a bitter battle, Saber as a servant in addition to agility, all attributes suppressed Shirou, but with the battle, Zalik's will to die became stronger and stronger, the sanity of the human side became worse and worse, and the moves also lost their discipline, and when fighting with the tricks, Shirou caught the opportunity, and an arrow shot through the hand armor and missed the curry stick, and then an arrow shot through Zalik.
This arrow drained Shirou of all his spiritual power, and he even withdrew from the state of a heroic spirit and became an ordinary person. Just as Shirou was about to gamble for his life, Zalik's sanity returned, and he reversed the hilt of his sword and stabbed his body, asking Shirou to take care of Julian before he died.
With five cards collected and his own blank Archer card, Shirou can already summon the Holy Grail.
At the same time, Kiri tells Shirou that the last servant is waiting for Shirou at the mouth of the large underground cavern, and if he is defeated, he can make a wish to the Holy Grail and save his sister.
In front of the door of the large underground hollow, a man wearing black armor, a helmet on his head that covers his face, his upper body is wrapped in armor in an important position, his exposed skin is full of black lines, and three pairs of black wing-like tail feathers are arranged on both sides of his body, exuding ominous black flames all over his body.
She just stood at the door of the cave, silently motionless.
"Are you the last Berserker? Defeating you will save your sister, right? ”
The other party didn't speak at all, and Shirou remembered Qili's introduction, and said to himself as if he had decompressed himself, "I'm sorry, I forgot that Berserker is not sane." ”
said it easily, but as soon as he fought Shirou, he fell into a bitter battle. After the battle with Saber, Shirou did not rest, but impatiently headed towards the Great Cave. I thought that the puppet I was going to face would be very easy to deal with without a sanity, but I didn't expect the other party to have the ability to forcibly snatch weapons. This ability is so powerful that even if the weapon is still in his hand, once he touches those magic hands, he will be taken away by the other party. The situation is gradually developing in a direction that is not in the direction of Shirou.
The moment she made the move, she suffered a dark loss, and was robbed of a pair of cadres by the other party, Mo Ye, the weapon was obviously strengthened in her hands, and even the pseudo-spiral sword shot was dodged, Shirou has reached the point where there is nothing to do.
Is this time to go back and recuperate, ready to make a comeback?
Although he knew that this was the best choice in front of him, Shirou couldn't stop at all when he thought of what kind of torture Miyu was suffering from now, and the great damage that the unfinished sentence had caused her.
But if you can't beat it, you can't even beat the berserker in front of you, because you need to collect all seven cards to make a wish for the Holy Grail. Now, the final and decisive card is in front of you, even if you fight for this life and burn the fire of the soul, you must rely on the guardian blade in your hand and the guardian power in your heart to penetrate the berserker in front of you, defeat her, and rescue your sister.
A sword forced Berserker back, Shirou flipped dozens of meters away in a row, Berserker seemed to have a premonition of something, and Mo Ye, a strengthened cadre, kept his defensive posture still. Shirou disarmed, ready to entrust all his hopes to the final blow next.
Spiritual power stirred in the air, ripples caused a hurricane, blowing Shirou's clothes with a hunting sound, and the only remaining scarf of Sakura before his death fell off in the wind, and the wind swept the scarf and flew in the direction of Berserker.
The arrow in Shirou's hand has been accumulating, he can't find Berserker's flaw, blindly shooting this arrow can only taste defeat, he has poured all his energy into this arrow, heart, eye and hand three-in-one, this is Sakura's favorite to watch, Shirou's most serious moment.
Suddenly, as the scarf floated past Berserker's eyes, Shirou felt the other party's expression loosen, and by the time Berserker reacted, the arrow had appeared in the center of the huge hollow behind Berserker, leaving Berserker with only a hole that had been pierced.
"Before... Predecessor! ”
The strong wind of the spiral sword shattered everything, and at the moment when the mask shattered, a face that was always seen but never cherished appeared in front of Shirou, and the audience watched in shock as the mask shattered little by little, completely speechless. The original flowing long hair has become neat and short, but that face is still the appearance of Sakura Makiri, and the audience will not admit it at all.
Sakura was not only killed once by her brother but also by her beloved Shirou in just one day, and it was the end of the world for her.
Shirou knelt in front of Sakura, crying and hugging Sakura, who was vomiting blood, confessing his sins, and even his belief in saving his sister Miyu was shaken by this scene, and he even had the idea of fleeing Toki City forever.
At the end of her life, Sakura said with a smile: "Senior, I don't hate Senior Julian, after all, he gave me the opportunity to meet you again, and let me say what I couldn't say last time." And I also want to thank my predecessors, it was you who gave me salvation, and after being summoned by the replacement magic once, I can sleep forever with peace of mind in the future. ”
"So, goodbye, my beloved senior, you must rescue Meiyou! Be sure to ......."
Sakura didn't finish her words, and she disappeared as a puppet. There was only a blank doll left in her arms, and in front of her chest was the last card Shirou needed, but Shirou felt no joy at all, only endless sadness. Once again, he experienced what it was like to lose everything. The audience knew in their hearts that Shirou at this time, his heart was almost dead, and if it weren't for the belief that he would be able to see Miyu right away, supporting his broken body, Shirou might have fallen.
Presumably, from now on, no one will ever believe in the old thief's discipline again!
