Chapter 55: The Oath of Blood

Time goes back a little, Xindu Bridge

"What the hell are you trying to do with the hostages!" Rin asked loudly

"I'm not interested in you~~~~" Caster ignored Rin.

"I'm only interested in the kids over there~~~~" Caster looked at Emiya.

"The spell in your hand is interesting~~~~ So I want to get you alive as much as possible, understand?"

"The reason why I made such a sacrifice is also to let you join my camp alive~~~~ As long as you are willing to become my puppet, I will stop using force."

"What are you talking about? Someone like you who is acting recklessly from the Master!! Rin said angrily.

"Oops~~~ jealous?" Caster completely ignored Rin's anger.

"So kid~~~~ What is your answer?"

"......................................................" Emiya did not speak.

"What a nerve-wracking child~~~~~ what's the point of hesitation?" Caster looked at Emiya.

"No matter how good your Saber is, you can't defeat me with endless magical powers. The whole city is providing me with magic, like I have thousands of masters~~~~~"

"Do you understand what that means?"

"You're not!" Saber, who is also a Servant, realized something.

"That's right~~~~~" Caster affirmed Saber's judgment.

"Although humans don't have magical power~~~, their souls are still quite useful~~~~ We are originally soul eaters, and as long as we take the magic called life from the Master~~~~, we can obtain infinite magic ~~~~"

"Okay~~~~Kid~~~~You have no chance of winning~~~~ Submit to me with Saber!"

"Let go of Sister Fuji!" Emiya yelled.

"Aren't you listening to what I'm saying~~~~ I'm asking you to surrender~~~~" Caster repeated.

"Less nonsense!! Let go of Sister Fuji for me!! ”

"So you're not going to join forces with the other Masters, are you?" Caster asked again.

"I just won't join forces with you!"

"Really~~~~ I'm really annoyed~~~~~" Caster laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's a pity, if you're willing to cooperate with me, I can give you the Holy Grail ~~~~"

"That's nosy! I've decided that I'm going to fight to stop guys like you, and it's nothing to do with the Holy Grail! Emiya's sense of justice exploded again.

"Hum hum hum ~~~~ ahahahahaha~~~~" Caster laughed.

"Oops, you off?"

"But there's something wrong with you~~~~ It's all your duplicity~~~~ You're a victim of the Holy Grail~~~~"

"Nothing to do with the Holy Grail?"

"The reason why you say such things is because you hate the Holy Grail!"

"I know, Emiya Shirou~~~~ At the time of the last war, you lost everything. You, who were left alone in the flames and could only sit still, were picked up by Emiya Kiritsugu. Adopt you as an adopted son just for the next Holy Grail War. Being forcibly indoctrinated with magical knowledge makes you miserable~~~~~"

"Liar, aren't you......" Rin was shocked.

Emiya-san...... Her words ......"

"That's right~~~~ The Holy Grail is a hateful enemy to you~~~~ So you have the right to get the Holy Grail and settle that account from ten years ago! And the Holy Grail is already in my pocket, and I can easily help you make your wish come true~~~~~" Caster continued to persuade.

"Stop talking nonsense, Caster! The Holy Grail will only appear if there is only one Servant left! Saber interrupted Caster loudly.

"Nope! I can get the Holy Grail without fighting, and as Caster I can see through the principle of the Holy Grail~~~~" Caster looked at Saber.

"That's right~~~~ As long as you have a strong magic output, you can help me...... I can summon the Holy Grail now! ”

"Ugh!" Both Saber and Rin were stunned.

"Okay, this is the last chance~~~Kid~~~~ Don't you want to avoid pointless battles? Then surrender to me! Saber's Master !! ”

"......................................................" Emiya thought for a moment.

"I refuse! I'm not going to work with you! ”

"Are you crazy?! Do you know your situation! ”

"I'm not going to help a witch who feeds on humans!" Emiya has found her justice.

"You're doing it wrong. And one more thing, I wasn't forced to become a magician, but I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps. ”

"Witch...... You call me a witch......" Caster gritted his teeth in anger.

"Really...... Then I don't need you, you just disappear here! ”

"Huh~~~~" Several small magic arrays appeared in front of Caster.

"You guy!" Saber swung his sword and stepped forward.

"Don't move! Saber! "The Guard stopped Saber.

Please...... Don't move ......"

"Shirou...... But ......Saber had to say more, but Emiya walked over to Caster.

"Oops~~~~ I thought you were a complete stunned young man~~~~~ so you can understand your situation~~~~~~" A strange knife appeared in Caster's hand.

"Despicable villain!! Do you want to kill Shirou who has no resistance!! Rin angrily questioned Caster.

"How is it possible~~~~~ I just want him to stop being a master~~~~~ although he doesn't want to join my camp, he wants to save this girl. If that's the case, then you should be mentally prepared to hand over the spell~~~~~" Caster made a condition.

"I see...... How the hell should I leave it to you? "Emiya compromised.

"Shirou! No way!! Even if you do......" Saber reminded loudly, but Emiya didn't respond.

"Take your whole arm, of course~~~~~" Caster picked up the knife.

"That's it! Shirou!! Can't let Caster continue to do whatever he wants! Saber raised his broadsword.

"I'm in favor of it too, besides, is she the kind of person who will honestly let go of the hostages!" Rin also took Gandr's stance.

"Take it...... That's it......" Emiya held out his left hand.

"Shirou!" Saber shouted.

"There's no need to do this to save people!" Rin was also questioning Emiya.

"It is necessary! If one arm can be exchanged for Sister Teng's life...... Then I won't hesitate. Emiya raised his left arm and gave up resistance completely.

"Ahahahaha~~~~ What a stupid child~~~~~ you're so much of an eyesore~~~~ Let's die!"

"Whew!" Caster rushed straight at him.

"Hah!" Saber pushed Caster back with a single sword.

"Ding ding~~~~when!" Saber swung his sword and fought Caster into a fight.

"No...... Stop...... Saber!!! ”

Just as the spell was charged by the other side, Wei Gong gave the order one step at a time.

"Buzz!" The spell used the energy from the far end to carry out Emiya's order to the letter, and when the red circle of light swept to Saber, the blonde girl instantly stopped moving.

"Why!! You can??? Saber looked at Emiya in shock.

"Huh~~~~~" Caster didn't hesitate to raise the short knife in his hand and stab Saber in the chest.

"Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!h

The crimson glow accompanied the blonde girl's screams, tearing at the other people's sanity.

“Saber!!” No matter how much Wei Gong called it, it was useless, and the spell that was originally attached to his hand flew towards Caster.

"Buzz!" A new spell has appeared in Caster's hand.

"Hehehe~~~ Ahahahahaha~~~~ I'm surprised~~~~~ this is my treasure - the talisman that breaks the precepts of all things!" Caster excitedly displayed his treasure.

"The sword of betrayal and negation that can invalidate all the magic in this world!"

"The contract has been formed, and I will be your master from now on! Then you will betray your master, as I did, and entrust me with the sword in your hand. ”

"You're a Servant and you're ...... Servant," Rin was incredulous.

"Yes, I made her my messenger~~~~~ Saber is already mine." Caster had a triumphant smile on his face.

"Okay~~I'll give it back to you~~ Little fool~~~~~" Caster untied Fujimura-sensei and threw her towards Emiya.

"Sister Fuji!" Emiya hurriedly caught her.

"Sister Fuji! Are you okay! Sister Fuji!! Emiya hugged Fujimura-sensei, lest she make a mistake.

"By the way, I'll let you go too~~~~" Caster looked at Rin.

"Because that play just now is so exciting that it's crazy, but it's ......"

"That's right...... However, this is generally the kind of routine...... "Looking at the two servants opposite, Rin's heart is really bottomless.

"Well~~~ That's the end of the joke~~~~ Miss. Go Saber! Get rid of Archer's Master! Caster gave Saber the order.

"What a joke! Who will listen to you......" Saber stubbornly resisted.

"Buzz!" The light of the spell flashed.

"No, you must obey, Saber! As long as the spell remains, your body and mind will not be able to disobey me! Caster raised the spell in his hand.

"Zheng!" Saber raised his sword, "Bang! He rushed towards Rin.

"Puff ......" At the last moment, Emiya stood in front of Rin.

"Stupid! Why?! Rin ran towards Emiya.

Saber's sword trembled.

"Obey the Command! Saber!! Caster urged.

"Quick...... Escape ......"

"Run...... Shirou!! "Bang boom~~~~" Saber tried his best to knock the Wind King's enchantment crooked.

"Hurry up and ...... Sister Fuji"

"Don't say it...... Follow me! Rin hurriedly retreated with Emiya, who was too busy to take care of himself.

"How is this possible...... Is Saber's magic resistance strong enough to resist the spell? Caster looked at Saber in disbelief.

"But even then, don't try to escape!" Caster took to the skies and took it personally.

"Ding! Ding Ding Ding! Suddenly, there was a crashing sound from the outer layer of the barrier.

"Bang~Bang~~~~" The moment the barrier was shattered, countless red arrows flew in.

"Bang~~~" Archer, who fell from the sky, forced back Caster and killed the puppets besieging Rin one by one.

"It's too slow!" It's not so much that Rin is venting her frustration, it's better to say that she's being coquettish.

"I'm ashamed...... It took me a long time to break this barrier......" Archer drew his bow and arrow.

"However, if it is broken from within......"

"Bang!" The barrier was shot with an arrow from Archer.

"Archer, take Fujimura-sensei!" Even though the situation is urgent, Rin remains calm.

"Alright, run away now!" Rin set up the badly injured Emiya and walked towards the breach in the barrier.

"Saber ......" looked at Saber who was standing in the distance full of sadness and helplessness, and Wei Gong had no choice but to give up...... Nothing was done.

Einzberen Castle, ground floor hall

"Your defeat is doomed!" In the ruins, the blonde man looked at the master and servant opposite, and said a declaration of victory.

"How? Since it is inevitable to die, it is better to get rid of the burden at the end~~~~~"

"If you can travel lightly, you may be able to kill me."

"Roar......" Berserker stood in front of Illya again.

"That's it~~~~" The blonde man was slightly disappointed.

"Then you will die with your master!"

"Huh~~~~" Countless golden rays of light bloomed in the air, shooting out countless treasures.

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~" Berserker tried his best to resist, but it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

"Don't lose to him...... Berserker!!! ”

"Roaring !!!"

"In that case, then I will give you the greatest trial!!"

A huge amount of golden light illuminated the entire hall, and countless glittering treasures flew in.

"Puff puff puff~~~~~ In an instant, Berserker was hit by several spears.

"Eleven times now! You're finally at the end of your rope! Hercules!!! ”

"Roar !!!!" With a battle cry, accompanied by the sound of "dong dong~" running, Berserker rushed towards the blonde man.

"Whoosh~~~~~Puff~~~~" Berserker was shot by several swords and spears and fell to the path of the charge.

"If you can abandon your master sooner, you may be able to defeat me......"

"Huh~~~~" The golden light disappeared.

"It's just a brute after all, it's just an endless fight~~~~~ "The blonde man walked towards Illya.

"I'm also a demigod, I still have expectations for you, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." The blonde man stood in front of Berserker.

In front of the "roaring ......", there was another low roar.

"Whew!" Berserker jerked to his feet and lunged at the blonde man.

"Bang!" As he was about to hit the blonde man, Berserker jumped out of the way.

“Berserker?” Illya wondered why her Servant had fallen short.

"Boom~~~~~ Several golden chains shot out and bound Berserker.

"Come back! Berserker! ”

"Buzz!" Illya invoked the spell, but ...... No response.

"Why? Did I order you to go back to me? Why ......"

"Useless~~~~Doll~~~~~" The blonde man's voice brought Illya infinite despair.

"This is the lock of heaven~~~~~ if you are trapped by this chain, not even God can break free~~~~~"

"No~~~~ It should be said that just like this man, the higher the divinity, the tighter he will be entangled~~~~~~"

"How can I allow him to use the Command Spell to transfer space!"

"Poof!" A golden spear pierced Berserker's chest.

"Don't ...... Don't...... Berserker……”

The roar of "...... roar" gradually lowered and finally stopped completely.

"Ah...... Ah......h But she didn't realize that as the blonde man walked in with the sword, her life was in danger.

"Whoosh!" A sword slashed.

"Dang!" Martian Splash.

"Huh?" The blonde man was a little surprised.

"This king has given you a beautiful queen, but instead of enjoying it, he has come here to get in the way......"

"Disobedience to the king's decree is a death sentence, mongrel!"

"Huh~~~~" The blonde man waved his hand, several rays of light flashed behind him, and several swords and spears slowly stretched out.

"Wait!" Illya suddenly broke free of Kamiya and stood in front of the blonde man.

"He's not a Master, and he has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, everything you want is with me." The girl's eyes were full of determination.

"Illya!" What else does Kamiya have to say.

"You go!" Illya interrupted him loudly.

"There's nothing to do with you here!"

However, the boy did not move.

"Let's go!" The girl's voice trembled.

"Then that's all for the ~~~~ touching soap opera, and ...... next" The blonde man waved his hand.

"Bang~~~~~ bang!" Berserker, who thought he was dead, snapped free of his chains!

"Roaring !!!!!" Berserker, who had lost his weapon, pounced desperately on the blonde man.

"Poof!" The two spears pierced the desperate Berserker again, but the shocked expression on the blonde man's face did not fade for a long time.

"Bang!" Berserker dissipated into countless points of light.

"Is it really a convincing man who surpassed his myth in the last moments......"

"Berserker......" Illya's long hair covered her face, but something still dripped down her cheeks.

"So~~~~~~" The blonde man looked at the two again.

"Just to be on the safe side, you both go to death~~~~~ As if about to trample two ants to death, the blonde man waved his hand, and several swords flew towards the two!

The "Puff Puff ......" weapons were all hit.

"Ah...... Ah......h

"For ...... Why...... Why......"

"You...... Clearly...... Still so...... Little ......"

"Plop ~ Dang Chang ~~" The young man with a sword full of swords behind him fell to the ground.

"Why are you standing here when you're so young? It may be a war of deception, so why do you still shed blood for it? Sacrificed for it? ”

The red blood under his feet questioned the girl who was infected: "Why? ”

"Ah.................. Ah........................h But there were no tears......

Illya stared blankly at the red blood on the ground, the bright red color suddenly tore apart the disguise in the girl's heart, revealing the doubts and hesitations hidden inside.

"What the hell am I ...... For what?? It's all really...... Is it worth it??? ”

For the sake of that so-called mission, the people around me left one by one, is it really worth it?

Which is more important, mission or life?

And yourself, what are you fighting for?
