(Before you know it, it's already a million words, it's really not easy.) ）

Thea's hair fluttered in the wind, and she reached out towards Lancer and Hatsuzakura's positions, and a magic circle appeared in front of her, and countless thick vines grew out of thin air from the magic circle.

The vines tangled together like a large tree growing horizontally towards the two of them, and Lancer and Hatsuzakura jumped out of the way, and the place where they had been was suddenly hit by the vines.

"I can't run away."

The vines that were originally entangled scattered and chased after the two in mid-air.

Hatsuzakura was able to fly in the air, so she flew high to avoid the attack. Lancer, who couldn't borrow power in the air, didn't panic in the slightest, and when the vine whipped like a whip, she lifted her gun and jumped on top of the vine with the force of the blow.

The vines swayed, but Lancer stood on them as if they were unaffected.

Suddenly, the plants beneath her feet turned from dark green to black, and the black spread upwards along the point of contact, as a wave of erosion came over her, as if it was about to penetrate her skin and enter her veins and bones.

It's a curse.

Immediately, several runes appeared from under Lancer's feet, purifying all the black.

"Huh? That kid's strength isn't of much use. ”

Realizing that Jack the Ripper's curse didn't work, Sia looked disappointed.

"Have you absorbed the power of the Assassin?"

Lancer recognized the nature of the force.

"yes. But it's useless. Your power looks stronger, let me absorb it. ”

Siya let out a cruel maniacal laugh.

"Hmph, if you can do it, come and get it."

Lancer smiled coldly, too.

"I'm not going to be so weak as to lose to someone like you."

The flames suddenly rose out of thin air, and then ignited the vines and spread all the way towards Xiya.

"I'm not weak!"

The flames were only halfway through when a sudden storm stopped them like a wall and bounced the flames back.

"I'm going to keep getting stronger so Chess will be happy!"

Thea roared, but just as the flames were blocked, Lancer rushed under the cover of the wall of fire.

In the blink of an eye, the magic spear had already penetrated Xi Ya's body while she was in a daze.

Blood poured out of the wound, and the spear pierced her heart and shattered her internal organs.

"It's painful, it's painful!!"

But in the next moment, countless vines exploded around Xiya's body, causing Lancer to retreat.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

Xi Ya covered her wounds, but what should have been fatal injuries didn't weaken her breath at all.

"Won't you die like this?"

The injured part is regenerating at a high rate, and some parts that cannot be cured have directly grown mutated tissue and replaced it.

"Hmph, it looks like I'm going to kill many times this time."

Faced with Xiya's situation, Lancer did not panic in the slightest.

Hatsu Sakura, who was in the air, saw the battle between the two sides, because everything happened too quickly before, and she had to avoid the pursuit of the vines, so she didn't react.

At this time, due to the injury, all of Xiya's vines had withdrawn, and Hatsuzakura was immediately ready to rush down to help, but at this moment, a shockwave was also heard from the air.

Hatsu Sakura immediately stretched out her tail to protect herself in front of her to block the impact, and then saw Huang Quan's figure in the direction of the attack.

Thea wasn't alone.

…………

In the new capital, which has been reduced to ruins, the barrier created by Caster is now gone.

The fierce battle had ended, and there was an extreme silence all around.

The hot wind from the battle was blowing slowly, kicking up a cloud of dust and blowing Caster's long hair.

Caster collapsed to the ground where there was nothing, his full chest trembling from the heavy breathing, revealing a little whiteness from his somewhat messy clothes.

"Hoo ......"

Raising her weak hand as if to hold the sky, the flames around her that had not yet been extinguished reflected reflected her, making her hand appear as if it was transparent and she could see the night sky behind her.

(Reached the limit?) ）

Although the Servant's body can be touched like an entity, it is still a spirit in substance, made of magic. So when the Servant dies, it disappears as a particle of light, leaving no trace.

Caster could feel that the beings that constituted him were blurring as the spirit cores that had used more than their limits were on the verge of shattering.

(In that case, the final spell will not be completed.) ）

The reason why it hasn't disappeared now is probably because of the magic provided by the two spells that Hatsuzakura applied to her, as well as the power provided by the Killing Stone. But it's like a glass of water with a hole, no matter how much water you pour it, it will flow out.

(Can't help it?) ）

Everything she could have done had been done, and she had done her duty as a Servant so well that there was nothing to complain about even if it ended here...... Wrong!

"Damn, the master is still waiting for me."

The raised hand clenched into a fist, even if it couldn't inject strength.

The contract was gone, but Caster could feel that his master needed him.

"I will definitely return to my master!"

Beyond the limits of his body, Caster struggled to prop himself up from the ground, even if he couldn't stand up and crawl over.

Just then, an unnatural voice sounded from the side, reaching Caster's ears in the silence.

There could have been no living creature other than her here, and the dragon had already been destroyed by her.

Caster turned his gaze to see a small figure emerge from the cloud of dust.

"What's going on? Why am I here? ”

Slightly confused, but a very nice voice came, which Caster had heard more than once.

(Because I destroyed the dragon, did I regain my freedom as part of the fusion?) How lucky you are, that guy! ）

Caster couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The hot wind stops and the dust clears. The diminutive figure of Lancer Elizabeth Bathory appeared in front of Caster, with a somewhat ragged and hobbled look.

(Was she the only one who survived?) ）

The surroundings are unobstructed as if they were wilderness, and you can see them clearly without the cover of dust.

Also for this reason, Elizabeth immediately noticed Caster.

“……”

“……”

His eyes met in mid-air, and Caster smiled meaninglessly.
