Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Choice of Fate
Over there, the black-haired girl single-handedly repelled two divisions, and here Lux Heshiro was still pulling a long line of puppets to play with the train. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And the knight king, who fell into a coma, gradually woke up.
"Hmm...... My head hurts. "The long-haired king was hidden in the basement of a building by Shirou, and in the darkness only the holy sword that shone faintly reflected the green eyes of the knight king.
"I remember...... It seems like there was a big bang, so where am I now? Didn't return to Valhalla? The Knight King groped his body, accidentally pulled the wound on his back, frowned slightly, and came to a conclusion.
"Turns out I'm not dead." She saw the shimmering holy sword, grasped it in her hand, and at the same time used magic power to form her signature knight's armor, and said with a piercing look in her eyes, "Then, you should continue to fight." ”
As she spoke, she struck her spirit and felt the magic in the air, and a disgusting aura caught her attention.
"Found it!"
The Knight King picked up the holy sword, smashed directly through the floor above his head, and broke through the wall.
According to Shirou, he is indeed just an inferior Heroic Spirit, and a Guardian.
The difference between a guardian and a heroic spirit is origin, and origin also determines strength.
For example, the Heroic Spirit of the Knight King Artoria, who wields the Sword of Salvation forged by the will of the earth, cannot be a guardian because half of it belongs to Gaia's side.
And Shirou was born as a magician during his lifetime, and he was a complete human being, and his combat effectiveness after death was only average.
So much so that there was no need to go to the battlefield, and was sent to protect the heroic spirit of a girl who said that it was important and that it was not important or important.
Therefore, after the god descended, Lux was even slightly stronger than Shirou.
And there are more and more puppets in Anshi like locusts, no matter where the two of them run, there will be a black pressure puppet to pounce, and the space to hide is getting smaller and smaller, and they are finally dragged into the quagmire of the war of attrition.
"Shirou watch your back!" While Lux parried, he didn't forget to help his teammates.
And Shirou's situation is really bad.
In order to get out of danger, Shirou blew up many imitations of the "Infinite Sword System" in the inherent enchantment, and only the cadre Mo Xie was reluctant to detonate it.
And Lux was in even worse condition, with various deep wounds on her bare forearms and part of her thighs, but fortunately, "Fallen Glory" was strong enough to avoid fatal trauma.
To make matters worse, at the time of the god's descent, the sheer force had deeply damaged her right eye, and now the vision of her right eye was blurred, which was very detrimental to the battle.
"I'm going to explain it here today?" Shirou and Lux stood back to back, looking at the surrounding but besieging puppets, both of them feeling a little desperate.
"It's me who has caused you to be a burden, so you obviously can't come." There was a hint of frustration on Lux's face, and she said apologetically to her comrades behind her.
"Don't blame yourself, have you forgotten the rule that I can't leave you fifty meters?" Shirou comforted.
"Cut, don't blush when you lie." Lux cut off, and then said, "You must have left me fifty meters long ago in order to save the hairy king." ”
"Ahem, I don't admit it." Shirou was a little embarrassed.
"Seriously, I really can't figure out why the Divine Mansion sent someone to protect me." "I'm not even one of them to humans, and I'm supposed to be an insignificant being to you," said Lux. ”
"So, what is my value worthy of the attention of the Divine Mansion, and I specially sent you." Lux turned her head and looked into Shirou's surprised eyes, which were full of seriousness.
"I don't have a seat in Valhalla, and if I die here, my existence will disappear completely, so at least before I die, let me know your reasons."
After listening to the girl's statement, Shirou thought for a while, and said, "I have wanted to be a righteous partner since I was a child, but when I became a heroic spirit, I kept killing people. ”
"In order to save some people, I had to kill some people, and although I made some of the people who were saved happy, I gave up the part of the people who were killed."
"It's not what I want to see, it's what I'm looking for is an ending where everyone can laugh."
"But even so, the justice in my heart has not changed." Shirou said, staring into Lux's eyes.
"Didn't you discover your strange origin?" Shirou asked.
"Strange origins? Isn't that just hope? Lux looked at her quizzically.
"Hope, the word is not an act, not a phenomenon, not an adjective, isn't it too pale to act as an element that determines the direction of human behavior?" Shirou explained.
"Because there is despair, there is hope, and hope and despair are inseparable opposites but not contradictory wholes, so although your heart is full of hope and courage, it is also buried with the same amount of despair." Shirou pointed to Lux's chest.
"I have seen in the history museum of Valhalla that every 50,000 years, another world that is more powerful than the world we live in will invade our world, and every time it invades, the Vortex of Roots will choose a human and turn her into a Heroic Spirit, and what is even stranger is that the appearance and gender of this Heroic Spirit have never changed, and even the attributes are exactly the same."
Historically, each of these heroic spirits named "LUX" has had an impact on the pattern of the world, and if it degenerates into despair, humanity will be destroyed, and if it remains self-contained, humanity will survive that catastrophe. ”
"So...... You're here to spy on me? Lux said a little lonely, thinking that she was not alone in the world, but she did not expect that she was still alone--neither a heroic spirit, nor a human, neither Alayah, nor Gaia, but only the vortex of the roots--that was a unique and supreme existence.
"So, if you fall under the influence of the despair of others, I will destroy you before you fall." Shirou is very honest.
"But I find you unique, and I assert that even if everyone in the world despairs, you will still walk with a smile."
"Maybe it has something to do with your sex when you were alive."
After hearing this, Lux looked at the reflection of herself in Kazushiro's eyes in a daze, and said intermittently, "You...... I can't even believe myself, why would you believe me. ”
"You can hurt yourself for a group of crazy and desperate, strangers who hover on the edge of the human and the inhuman, just rush at this, I believe you, so keep living and witness the moment of human victory." Shirou smiled, and then summoned the magic power of his whole body, wanting to burn his core and liberate the infinite sword system that had never been seen before.
"Also, help me take care of my house, Artoria."
As soon as Shirou's words fell, the voice that he had been longing for in his memory came from not far away.
"Who's from your family! Windlord Warhammer! ”
In an instant, a hole was broken in the wall of the puppets, and the hairy king rushed in.
"With me here, none of you are allowed to die today!"
