"Etude ......"

Artoria's body trembled, she lowered her head and gritted her teeth but did not dare to put the woman behind her down, she could feel Alice Phil's vitality gradually weakening.

It's like a candle in the wind that can't be extinguished, but it has really come to an end, and it may be extinguished at any time.

Artoria didn't dare to face the current Alice Phil, and she was also worried, worried that any move she made might completely end the other party's last life. Therefore, he can only continue to carry the other party behind his back and dare not move.

Because the latter's current situation is really bad, it is as fragile as a porcelain puppet, making the knight girl feel that a little force or any movement will completely destroy the other party's body.

"Don't worry, Saber...... Didn't I tell you, this is my mission. ”

Alice Fell gasped with difficulty, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, probably she also understood the pain in the other party's heart at the moment, and no longer asked the other party to put herself down.

"Honestly...... I—I'm actually very happy...... Because there was a chance to put an end to this, Illya, she ...... Hehe, Illya, she will definitely cry out in fear when she sees me now......"

Speaking of her daughter, she finally paused, and her tone naturally revealed a trace of reluctance and reluctance.

It's a shame that I can't grow up with my daughter.

"Etude ......"

Artoria's body trembled slightly in pain, but she didn't know what to do now.

"Saber, really, don't grieve for me......"

Alice Phil gasped and seemed to laugh genuinely happily, "This should be the last time I'll talk to you, so cheer up knowing that I'll be able to rest next, and you'll have to fight, my knight." ”

When a person is about to die, he or she suddenly becomes conscious or briefly excited, a phenomenon known as flashback.

I don't know if Alice Phil also showed such signs, she spoke more and more fluently, obviously she was still gasping and moaning in pain before, but at this moment she behaved no different from her normal state.

It's just that this phenomenon is often a sign before sudden death, and Artoria closes her lips tightly, and the grief and depression make it difficult for her to breathe.

She took a deep breath, "Don't worry, as I said, I'm going to give you victory, master!" ”

Knowing what Alice Fell wanted to hear now, the Knight King gritted his teeth and repeated his previous vow.

"That's great, Saber......"

Alice Phil's weak but happy voice came from behind her.

“……”

“……”

There was a silence between the two of them, and the hall of the Fuyuki City People's Hall was dark, and compared to the continuous explosions, gunshots, and cannons outside, it set off a strange quiet.

Time passed inexorably, and I don't know how long it was

"Well, Saber, can I ask you one last thing? This is my last request. ”

When the subtle and soft voice sounded behind her again, Artoria's fingers trembled slightly, and even her breathing instantly became disordered.

She had a hunch that this was really the best thing Alice Fell had to say.

"Ellie, you can say it......" Artoria replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Saber, do you remember what kind of holy relic Kiritsugu used when he summoned you out?" Alice Field's voice was pure and gentle, but she didn't immediately say what she was asking for.

"Yes...... Scabbard. ”

Artoria replied in a low voice, as Artoria seemed to have thought of something, and a very complicated expression appeared on her face.

Known as the ideal town, "Avalon", the land of spring in Arthurian legend, is believed to be associated with the island of "immortal apples" in Greek mythology. It is also the hometown of elves in Western myths and legends.

The Sheath of the Holy Sword, which bears the name of the Fairy Country, was given to Emiya Kiritsugu by Einzberen in Cornwall as a catalyst for summoning Artoria.

It is a treasure that truly exists in the world, and it is a "sheath" paired with the sacred sword "Excalibur, the sword of victory of the oath". The wielder's body will never age and will be able to heal all injuries, even curses.

If the scabbard of the holy sword was in Artoria's hands before, then the cursed damage of the Yellow Rose, which was destroyed by the magic spear held by Dilumudo, would not be a problem at all, and if Avalon entered the state of complete protection, it would be impossible for anyone to harm the king who was in the land of Avalon.

Even Gilgamesh's perverse sword is the same.

Legend has it that the loss of the sheath cast an ominous shadow over King Arthur's life, which ultimately led to the collapse of the kingdom. It's not an exaggeration to say that Artoria had a twist of fate, and it's no wonder she has such an expression.

"Yes, your scabbard...... It's in my body right now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold it out now. ”

Alice Phil said apologetically, and then without waiting for Artoria to speak, she immediately spoke again, interrupting the knight girl's words.

"I know what you're trying to say, Saber...... But I'm not a servant, I can only passively accept it, and I can't fully exert the power of the scabbard, as if it is now, even if it stays in my body, I can only do this......"

Her body is constantly collapsing, then repairing, and repeating the process indefinitely.

If it weren't for the existence of the Holy Sword Sheath, Alice Phil would have died by herself, and it was impossible for her to be able to support it by her own will, after all, death was such a thing as her.

"My body has collapsed to this extent, so please......"

She wouldn't live in such a monster-like disgusting state, and even if the power of the Holy Sword Sheath could be fully exerted and her body could be completely healed, she would definitely not choose to do so.

Because Alice Phil's mission is like this, just with the help of the power of the Holy Sword Sheath, the Holy Grail that is about to be bred has been stuck in the state of "about to be bred", although it is her life that is saved, but it does not help the whole thing.

As long as the Holy Grail War is not completely ended, then she, her husband, and daughter will not be spared by Einzbelen.

"I ...... See, do you want me to hand over the Holy Sword Sheath to your husband after this, and then protect him to continue to win this Holy Grail War? ”

Artoria nodded with difficulty and swore solemnly.

"I promise you with my sword and my reputation and even my life that it will be as you wish."

Although she was very repulsed by Emiya Kiritsugu, if this was the princess's last request, she would still gamble on her dignity, her life, and the glory of chivalry to accomplish such a thing.

merely

"No, Saber......"

Alice Phil breathed hard, but she rejected Artoria's idea, "It's not Kiritsugu, it's the caster, do you remember?" The boy who can turn into a style......"

"W-What? Ellie, are you ......?"

Saber wondered if he had misheard, or if Alice Fell was not conscious.

"There is something wrong with the Holy Grail this time, the colorless power inside has been contaminated, I see it...... It will invoke the calamity of calamity until it destroys all humanity that should be cursed, but it is also a real opportunity. ”

Alice Fell said in a slender voice with great firmness, as if to explain everything before her last breath was completely cut off.

"And only that caster can stop this catastrophe...... But, but ......"

But.

That caster wouldn't take the initiative to risk his life for the sake of the humans of this world.

Even if it is an incarnation, if there is no accident, he will only indifferently watch the human reason in this world become extinct.

……

……

"Just hung up......"

The decadent young man hid in a raging street, watching the backs of the two who had just left from a distance, holding back his thoughts of wanting to assassinate each other, and instead looked at the huge pit on the other side.

It was the place where the most ancient king died, but now there was nothing left, and the corpses of the kings that had been smashed and smashed had all turned into light and scattered in the burning night sky of the city.

He originally thought that there would be a sinister dragon fight, but he didn't expect that life and death would be separated so neatly, and the other side would be the legendary ancient king!

"What about the Ancient King, if he is really invincible, it would be nice to directly change the Holy Grail War to Gilgamesh Summoning Catalyst War, whoever summons him first, and then the others directly abstain from power, how refreshing ......"

Mu Xiu next to him said lightly.

And just as he was about to amplify his move, he was shot down by an arrow. It was a huge consumption before, and it was impossible to really shoot the treasure infinitely, plus he used the lock of heaven to kill him once a few days ago, he probably subconsciously thought that his lock of heaven would definitely be able to restrain the other party, but he was hammered into meat sauce by the other party all of a sudden. ”

He exhaled a long breath as he spoke, then added thoughtfully

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be like this, Hercules turned out to be an archer job agent...... It seems that Darius III's master was also yin by them, otherwise there is no reason why no news will be leaked at all. ”

Decadent youth agrees:

"That's right, it's a good thing they can't control the demigod Heroic Spirit of the Archer job at all, otherwise, according to mythology and legend, the giant itself must have a ...... for the gods."

Speaking of this, his voice slowly lowered, and then he seemed to think of something: "Wait, even if you use secret techniques to go berserk, it's impossible to change the spirit base, right?" Could it be that Hercules of the Archer job also had twelve lives? ”

"No, now Hercules has fully restrained Jin Shinery in all aspects. Even if it wasn't for the sudden attack and various calculations to make Jin Shin careless, if it really fought, the Heavenly Lock would not work at all, so Kim Shin was still on the disadvantaged side for the most part. ”

The incarnation of the god in the form of a boy shook his head, refuting the speculation.

"If you can still have twelve lives under the premise of such an advantage, it will be too buggy, in this Holy Grail War, no one, including me, can fight against Hercules."

Hercules, the greatest hero of ancient Greek mythology, is the son of the main gods Zeus and Alcmone, a hybrid of man and god, and a demigod hero.

Of course, it is the standard of this world, not the "demigods" of the main god space. After all, even if it is Mu Xiu's own body, although he can be called a god in many worlds.

But according to the standard division of the main god space, in fact, the essence is still a demigod.

The vast gods who completely transcend the realm of human beings are the true S-class characters who go one step further or the fourth-order high-level consummation, and in a sense, they can be regarded as saints without holy positions.

Therefore, Mu Xiuke absolutely did not believe that the concept of "demigods" in this world was so ferocious, and the overall performance of the other party was definitely problematic.

It was precisely because of this that he did not rashly go out and meet the other party head-on, after all, in the face of a dual-class demigod heroic spirit who seemed to have multiple resurrection opportunities, before he figured out what was going on, even he could capsize in the gutter.
