Chapter 19: The Return of the Holy Grail
Hot......
Hurt......
Can't give up yet......
There were only three thoughts left in Tsukahara's mind. The vision is blurred, the light is like a monitor that is about to run out of power, the light is getting dimmer and dim, and the consciousness is blurred, and I can't think.
It's tiring.
He's, can't hold on.
A very simple example, if a person goes to play basketball and his legs are sore, when will he be in the most pain?
The answer is tomorrow.
What if tomorrow he endured severe pain and continued to do such a high-intensity workout?
The answer is that the day after tomorrow will be more painful and more difficult to persevere.
In just a few days, Tsukahara was tormented by Carl's magic many times.
Carl's magic is the magic of [Spiral], which is a special type of magic power that hurts his own body in exchange for a large amount of damage, if it is other people's magic, for example, if it is the magic of warm water like Abner, the damage to Tsukahara will be much less.
Unfortunately, it's Carl's magic.
In a short period of time, many times of intense magic intensification, which has left a lot of dark diseases in Tsukahara Mingshi's body, plus he had just fought with a monster like Surut before, such a violent magic power has long made Tsukahara's body unbearable, that feeling of severe pain, still remaining in the corners of the body, as he forced himself again, all this was revived.
Intense pain, incomparably severe pain.
It's very uncomfortable, the body, it hurts so much that it's hard to think.
I can't hold it anymore.
It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything.
"Good work. β
In the haze, there seemed to be a human voice.
Who can't hear clearly......
What did he say?
I can't understand it......
Yes...... So...... Is it someone, did you speak?
If anyone ...... Please...... Help her......
"The rest...... Leave it to me. It's thirty-two seconds later than the agreed time, but you're done. Tsukahara. β
Who is it?
Called ...... My name?
Please...... Archer she......
Lohiya ......
Go, help her......
This was the last thing that Tsukahara thought of, he seemed to move his lips, but unfortunately, in the sharp pain that seemed to burn all over her body, she couldn't tell if she had spoken, whether she had moved her lips.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In mid-air, Lohia pulled the trigger.
The scorching blue light shines directly into the sky.
No...... Hit.
Saber Artoria took the crucial moment and turned her head sideways fiercely, dodging the blow.
According to her previous calculations, it takes about 04 seconds for Lohiya to wait for the weapon to fill after each shot, and her bursts have always maintained this frequency. And 04 seconds is enough for Saber to rush over.
One hit.
This is the final blow that will determine the outcome of the battle!
Saber's heart, with such confidence, raised his broadsword in both hands, and was about to slash through it......
However, gone.
The figure of Lohia disappeared.
Whether it was the ripe brown shawl hair, the starry eyes, the dazzling white tracksuit, or the dark rifle that didn't match her, they were all gone.
No, that's not quite right.
The correct way to say it is that Saber's vision is gone.
White.
In her eyes, only the vast white remained, completely enveloping her vision, and she couldn't see anything.
Why?
Why is it invisible?
Saber felt bad for a while, and subconsciously raised his holy sword, but it was white and blank, but there was no goal......
What do you have to deal with?
Where did you come from?!
Intuition...... The goal is ...... As soon as Saber thought of this, a sharp pain was already coming from her lower abdomen, and with her own movement, the pain extended from her calf all the way to the tip of her toe, cutting her entire right leg open!
This is the biggest disadvantage of intuition, first, intuition can only be judged after the attacker has actually committed the attack. Otherwise, it's not an intuition but a prediction of the future. Second...... If you are in mid-air, a place where you can't move freely with nowhere to borrow, you can't escape even if you have a gut feeling.
It must be, Lohia.
Which of Lohia's previous actions, so it turned out, was it to trick herself into using the Wind King's Barrier? She wasn't going to escape, so she deliberately cut through the surrounding forest to trick herself into using the Wind King's Hammer...... Miscalculated. Otherwise, you would have been able to escape in mid-air with the Wind King's Hammer.
Which little girl...... How......
Saber's vision cleared up again, and it was about half a second later that she fell heavily to the ground, losing her right leg and unable to stand up.
And Lohia, not far away, carrying a sniper rifle, pointed at her heart.
"Who the hell are you...... How?"
Saber looked at her silently, and then at herself, and sure enough, her right leg was completely unconscious, unable to move, and the healing of magic could not take effect, and she was lost.
Simply, she let go of her right hand and let the holy sword lie beside her.
Lost.
"Have you ever heard of Miyamoto Musashi?"
"Japan's swordsmen. I know. β
"I heard that during the battle between him and Sasaki Kojiro on Yanryu Island, he used daylight to shoot directly into the opponent's eyes, which caused Kojiro to lose his sight for a short time, and at this time, he counterattacked and killed Kojiro. β
"However, I was very careful to pay attention to the angle of the sun......"
Saber asked unwillingly, of course she knew the effect of sunlight on her vision, and naturally, she was also very aware of this.
The answer is...... Ice mirrors. β
Lohija has the answer.
If you remember, Tsukahara Mingshi once used the ice mirror to concentrate the sun's attack method before coming to the Holy Grail War and set fire to his predecessor's cardigan.
This time, the technique is the same as before.
A giant ice mirror is built with playing cards, and the air-conditioning magic is used as the core, and the ice surface is expanded and the angle is adjusted through the water flow magic.
Then, adjust the angle.
In fact, just now Lohia deliberately shot into the sky, it was not a mistake in the attack, it was a signal to Carl to tell him where he was. By the angle offset of the shot, a signal is given.
This is a tacit agreement that only a skilled assassin can do.
As a result, Carl turned the ice mirror that Tsukahara Mingshi had worked so hard to make, and turned the angle. The sunlight was focused by the ice mirror, then reflected out, obscuring her vision for a moment as Saber flew over.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lohia gave her a shot.
The distance between the two was very short, and Saber certainly didn't have time to react. One hit.
"Actually...... Is it the Battle of Yanliu Island?ahaha...... Really...... Irony......"
Saber is talking about the battle with Kojiro.
In the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Assassin was an unconventional being, a fake Assassin created by Caster using the mountain gate of Yanagito Temple, the land of spiritual veins: Kojiro Sasaki.
And Saber defeated him.
As a result, I didn't expect that I who had defeated Kojiro was actually pitted by Kojiro's death. How can this not be embarrassing?
"Knight King, you are not wronged if you lose. My lord is a man who, though he may seem unreliable, can definitely become very reliable in times of crisis. And my other master is an assassin who is well versed in conspiracy. If these two people join forces to set up a game, you will lose, which is normal. β
From the very beginning, Archer lured Saber with a fake gun, and deliberately fired a few shots in the forest to stop for a while to trick Saber's sense of distance. Then it was Carl who directly stimulated Saber and left her in an irrational mania, then took advantage of Saber's irrationality, and finally ......
"I see...... I didn't expect that I would actually be able to fall for such a simple agitation? No, no...... If that's the person.,Probably,I should have investigated it too.,I'm not in agreement with Kiritsuke...... He lied to me before that he, unlike Kiritsugu, didn't have the naΓ―ve idea of saving the world?"
ββ¦β¦β
Lohia was silent, weighing her words, and her jeweled eyes replied to her without any lies.
"I can assure you, Carl, is not a good man. But, at least this time, he won't cause trouble for anyone else. If...... He really did that kind of thing, and I would be the first to shoot him. β
"Really...... Really, my Holy Grail war luck, terrible mess. So. β
"Do you have anything to tell your master?"
"Nope. I am not of this world. Shirou has Rin by his side, his granddaughter, and his trusted juniors, this is a place I shouldn't be in, what belongs to me is only memories, not the residence around Shirou. Every servant doesn't belong in this world, and they must disappear without leaving a trace, right? Archer. β
"Yes, so, instead of explaining the future, we should pay attention to the present, not the past and the future. β
"Yes...... Would I like to give you one last question?"
Saber smiled serenely.
"Your real name, can you tell me?"
"Lohia. Robin Hood's eyes, Robin Hood's ears, Robin Hood's mouthpiece, I am, Robin Hood's whole, Loshia, who is responsible for the spy system. β
"Ah, I see. β
Saber Artoria lay on the ground in large letters, quietly looking at the sky.
This is probably the first time she has looked at the world so calmly.
Because, he is not Artoria, but Shirou's impression of Artoria. That's why I can be so free.
That's great.
Nice sky. It would be nice if she could see it at Valhalla. His Royal Highness the Knight King, who gave his life to save Britain and tragedy. If it's just a peaceful lunch break, it should be allowed, right?
Bang.
The sound of gunfire resounded through the forest sea.
The Holy Grail War has come to an end.
