Chapter 44: The End
"—what a disappointment." The Emperor muttered to himself casually, draining the rest of the wine from his glass. If you didn't look at the broken dagger left by the assassin on the ground, you might really believe him.
"Indeed, no matter how weak the bastards are, it takes a lot of effort to come up together even if they are kings. Rider, you're an eyesore. "The Golden Shining Heart has put the Great Emperor on the list that must be killed. For Jin Shanshan, this is a kind of recognition, a recognition of the great emperor's character.
"Let's start with it, I'll have to compete with you no matter what." The Emperor stood up with a smile unconcerned. "Let's finish what we want to say, let's stop for today."
But Artoria apparently didn't finish what she was thinking, or rather, she still wanted to refute the Emperor's point of view, "Wait Rider, I haven't..."
"Shut up." The Emperor stopped Artoria's words in a strong tone. "Tonight is a banquet between kings, but Saber, I don't recognize you as king." The Emperor was anxious to correct Artoria's opinion, and inexplicably seemed a little impatient.
"Do you still want to continue to fool me? Rider。 Artoria's tone was already impatient, but the Emperor only looked at her with pity. He drew Alexander's sword and swung it in the air, only to see a flash of thunder, and a sacred ox chariot appeared with a roar. Although it is not as powerful as the "King's Army", it is enough to attract people's attention. "Hurry up, little ghost, go up."
"......" Webb did not say anything.
"Hey, little ghost?"
"—huh? Ah, well...... "Ever since seeing the Assassin easily defeated, Webb's heart has been clouded with a strange shadow. After all, it was the first time I had seen such an unreasonable treasure, and it was normal to have this kind of reaction. He was shocked to see the true strength of the Great Emperor for the first time today. This lord is really unqualified.
After Webber had steadied himself in his chariot, the Emperor glanced at Artoria one last time, and said in a sincere tone, "I say, little girl, you should quickly wake up from your painful dream." Otherwise, one day, you will lose even the most basic self-esteem of a hero. What you call the so-called 'king' is nothing more than a spell you have put on yourself. ”
"No, I..."
Ignoring Artoria's final rebuttal, the lightning-glittering chariot soared into the sky. In the end, only the sound of thunder was left in my ears, and the chariot disappeared into the eastern sky.
"You don't have to pay attention, Saber, you just have to stick to the path you believe in." It was Jin Shinshi, who had been laughing at her before, who interjected from the side.
Hearing him utter such inexplicable words of encouragement, Artoria replied coldly. "You were laughing just now, and now you want to flatter me? Archer。 ”
"Of course, what you said about the way of kings is extremely correct, and there is no mistake. What a burden this is on your emaciated body. This affliction, this entanglement...... I can't help but want to go up and comfort me. "Decent appearance, deep voice, but in his expression and tone, there is still infinite evil and **.
"You just go on to play the role of a clown in pain as you say you are, I love it. Saber, how happy I am, maybe I'll give you the Holy Grail as a reward? ”
A crimson flash of lightning streaked through, and was blocked by the shield-shaped treasure that shot out of the golden gate behind Jin Shining. Mordred has unleashed the Noble Phantasm, which is definitely the most powerful burst of power that the roaring Thunder Lion has ever unleashed. In the face of Jin Shining's insult to his father, direct Noble Phantasm is Mordred's style.
Where the lightning streaked, deep ravines had been plowed into the ground. shattered the shield in front of Golden Flash, but the endless Noble Phantasm weakened the lightning. Under the powerful power of the treasure, the golden flash was shaken out a few steps.
"I really don't know whether to let the queen who is high up retreat, I really don't know whether to live or die. Forget it, there's no point in punishing you, getting angry about a jester's subordinate gaffe will damage the king's reputation. ”
"Shut up for me. I only warn once. Next time I'll be sure to cut it up mercilessly. Artoria also scolded.
Kim Shining didn't mind Artoria's scolding, and he stood up with a smile. "Go hard, Knight King, there are times when I think you're still cute."
As soon as these last words fell, the golden glitter turned into a spirit and disappeared. The atrium, deprived of its golden light, is like waking up from a dream. Only emptiness remains.
And just like that, a battle came to an end.
