With A+-level agility, Lu Xiao can also dodge flexibly under the Knight King's war horse spurs.

Compared with Lancelot, who also has A+ agility, Lu Xiao does not have as obvious obsession with Artoria as he has, and can entangle with the Knight King in a more calm fighting style.

The red aura that lingered on the Immortal Slash was gradually strengthening, and Artoria instinctively felt uncomfortable with the aura emanating from the long knife.

Sure enough, as the Guardian said, it was a dragon-slaying treasure, and it couldn't be hard connected head-on, so it could only be attacked first. ’

Artoria took a deep breath and temporarily halted the horse's sprint.

'Maiya, I hope you can really hold on as you say. ’

After widening the distance between him and Lu Xiao, Artoria raised the holy spear in his hand, and the seal that bound Rengominiade began to peel off.

Lu Xiao's face changed: "No, she still has the magic power needed to liberate the treasure?" ”

&eeart！ ”

Artoria sank her consciousness into the holy lance, the phantoms of the twelve Knights of the Round Table surrounding her.

Kay: "It's a battle for survival – admit it." ”

Gajerez: "This is not a war against humanity – it is recognized. ”

Balemide: "This battle is a one-on-one battle – recognition." ”

Lancelot: "This is not a battle with the elves - admit it." ”

Galahad: "This battle is not a fight for selfish desires – admit it." ”

Aeg Guiwen: "This battle is a battle for the pursuit of truth - recognition." ”

Gawain: "The king is right! ”

Artoria's turquoise eyes seemed to have turned golden under the glow of the Holy Spear.

"Holy spear, pull the anchor!"

A bright pillar of light shot straight into the sky with the sound of the Holy Lance, and the night sky of Fuyuki was illuminated by the light of the Holy Lance for a short time.

Even Gilgamesh and Iskandar, who had just started fighting, couldn't help but turn their gaze.

"Roar? It seems that the Knight King and the Assassin are starting to get serious about it. ”

Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh solemnly: "Hero King, the senseless temptation can be skipped, and we should start the real battle." ”

A grim smile appeared on Gilgamesh's face: "It's okay, you are a robber worthy of the king's personal judgment, and this king will send you out tonight, conquer the king." ”

Iskandar raised his sword and shouted, "Assemble here, the warriors of the end (Okeanos)!" The rut engraved here is our honor! ”

"Ioairoi (King's Army)!"

A huge amount of magic erupted around Iskander, and Gilgamesh and Webb, who had been swept by the magic, disappeared in place with him.

Without Gilgamesh's harassment, Leonardo da Vinci was finally able to draw his hand against the rats that had infiltrated the temple.

……

When he saw seven rays of light flickering on the holy spear one after another, Lu Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but start twitching.

"The Sevenfold Seal is lifted...... As for it? ”

"Whew!"

The Holy Spear of Liberation erupted with great might, and the trees around Artoria were blown to the ground by the wind.

The thunderclouds summoned by Lu Xiao were also dispersed by the light of the holy spear that rose into the sky, and the pouring rain suddenly stopped.

"A light that shines from the end, it is the anchor of the storm that tears the sky and connects the ground......"

Artoria, whose eyes had completely turned golden, raised the holy spear horizontally, and the holy spear that shimmered with dazzling light pointed directly at Lu Xiao, who was locked, as East Starion began to gallop.

"Take it, Assassin! It's my full blow! ”

'No way, turn over the hole cards.' ’

As Artoria began to ride his horse and start charging, Lu Xiao pinched the mysterious gesture with both hands, and the pendant that had always hung on his chest began to lift the seal.

A faint green light emanated from the pendant, making it look very inconspicuous in the brilliant golden light of the holy spear.

"Fill the spell with magic, the Time Gem, and unleash your power!"

"Whew!"

The fourteen spells on Lu Xiao's right arm disappeared with a stroke, and the light of the time gem suddenly became dazzling.

Under the sprint of the war horse, Artoria was only less than five meters away from Lu Xiao.

Raising the spear slightly, Artoria shouted the true name of the Noble Phantasm: "(Rhongomyniad) shines in the spear of the end!" ”

"Boom!!"

The golden pillar of light, which seemed to be able to destroy the world, was released by the holy spear at once, extending along the deliberately raised body of the spear to the sky of Fuyuki City.

Maiya Kuto, who had installed explosives near the Tosaka Mansion, was holding up the wall with one hand and gasping violently, in order to help Emiya Kiritsugu fulfill her wish, she overdrew her life force and forcibly refined her magic power, which was barely enough to consume the cost of Artoria's liberation of the treasure.

"Ha~Ha~"

Seeing the radiance that represented victory, Maiya's pale face showed a faint smile that was rarely seen.

"Kiritsugu, did you see that we defeated the Assassin."

Kiritsugu, who was far away on the outskirts of Shinto, couldn't move freely, but he also looked up and saw the brilliant light.

"Well, I saw it."

Barely bracing up, Maiya pulled out the bomb detonator from her bosom: "We only need to defeat the winner between Rdier and Archer with the Holy Spear again, and we will win this Holy Grail War." ”

After being injured and unable to move, Kiritsugu's original resolute will seemed to soften, and his tone suddenly became a little choked: "But, your body is ......"

Maiya comforted and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely hold out until the moment of victory, and I will hold it up for you with my own hands...... Well? ”

As the terrifying power of the Holy Spear gradually dissipated, the night sky of Fuyuki City also returned to calm, but the scene in front of the telescope made Maiya suddenly speechless.

"You guys are really hard enough, and you want to win this victory even if you overdraft your vitality, is it necessary to have such an obsession with the Holy Grail?"

The immature child's voice from the Tosaka house made Maiya subconsciously press the detonator in his hand.

"Di~"

Seconds passed, and nothing happened.

"It's useless."

A little girl with two ponytails, less than ten years old, slowly rose under the magic of the workshop, temporarily floating in mid-air.

Rin looked at Maiya Kuto, who was having some difficulty in moving, with some pity: "Since you know that it was the magician killer who attacked us, do you think I won't be prepared for this?" ”

"Your bomb has been disposed of by me, just grab it, don't force me to be ruthless."

……

When Rin reins down Maiya, who is not in good shape, Artoria, who is depleted of her magic, stares at the unscathed Assassin in front of her in disbelief, and she can't even maintain the mana that Warhorse needs in her life.

"How is that possible!?"

"Rengominiade is the anchor at the end of the fixed world, theoretically able to penetrate any defense, why can you be safe?"

The light of the time gem on Lu Xiao's chest became a lot dimmer, and it could no longer be used for a short time without being recharged.

"Bang~"

Pulling out the immortal slash from the ground, Lu Xiao liberated his real name without saying a word.

"Life and death circulate, reincarnation is endless."

"Dragon's Tears - Immortal Slash!"

Razor-sharp red blades of light shot out from the blade of the Immortal Slash, lacking magic and horses, and Artoria could no longer dodge as nimble as she had when she was in perfect condition.

The blade of light from the Immortal Slash passed through her body, and the Knight King's sturdy magical armor was easily pierced as if it were papier-mâché, and her spirit core was shattered by her true name, the Liberation Immortal Slash.

Artoria, whose whole body began to turn into a spiritual child, sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I couldn't keep my promise to win the Holy Grail." ”

Seeing that Artoria was dying, Lu Xiao, who was relieved, spoke out to explain for her.

"Knight King, your holy spear can indeed penetrate all defenses, provided that the target does exist at 'this point in time'."

Tapping the pendant on his chest, Lu Xiao nodded and said: "This auxiliary treasure is my killer weapon, in the state of liberation of the real name, it can intercept and control the absolute time of this world, can you understand this?" ”

Artoria's eyes wandered, her lord of the Imperial Guard, Kiritsugu, used time magic, and it was not too difficult to understand Lu Xiao's explanation.

"I see, hiding in the gap of time, no wonder the holy spear can't hit...... It's me who lost. ”

Seeing the Knight King's relieved transformation into a stream of golden magic power dissipate, Lu Xiao turned his head to look at the location where Red A was before.

"Did you escape?"
