1352 Impossible wishes
"Red Rider...! Red Archer...! ”
Seeing that the two horsemen of the red camp suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way, Joan of Arc suddenly found out.
"The aura of the Black Archer is gone...!?"
That's right.
The aura of the great sage of Greek mythology has completely disappeared.
"What is there to be surprised at, saint."
Achilles carried a cross gun and smiled with his eyes closed.
"Isn't it a matter of course for a disciple to surpass Master?"
There is no one who cannot hear the implication.
That is, the Caron was brought down.
Defeated by his past disciple, the demigod hero of Greek mythology, Achilles.
If you look closely, Achilles is also covered in bruises, and even the corners of his mouth have a trace of blood, obviously after a fierce battle.
But the result of the fierce battle was the defeat of Charon and the victory of Achilles.
"Don't worry."
Achilles did not open his eyes, as if he was afraid that his eyes would betray his inner emotions and stifle his feelings, and said a word to Joan of Arc.
"I didn't touch the pair of sisters and brothers, no matter what, they are also people who have been taken care of by the teacher, and I won't be wiped out."
It seems that after defeating Charon and surpassing his past mentor, Achilles is not only joyful, but also sad, sad and guilty, and his mood is also mixed.
Even Atalanta was unpleasant.
"The winner hasn't been decided here, and the empress actually ignored my opinion and directly transferred me over."
This is somewhat unexpected.
Unexpectedly, even Charon had already been defeated, and Astorfo, who was not strong in combat, held on.
However, Astolfo already has all kinds of magical treasures.
Relying on those treasures, even if you can't defeat Atalanta, if you want to protect yourself and the master, it will probably be enough.
Joan of Arc could feel that Astolfo's aura was still lingering outside the temple, as if dealing with the dragontooth soldiers outside.
Perhaps, after a while, Astolfo will be able to join up with Fiore and Corles?
"So..."
As if intending to eradicate the complicated emotions in his heart, Achilles raised the cross gun in his hand towards Joan of Arc.
"Is your next opponent?"
Even if he no longer has the desire for an equal duel, Achilles is still a warrior and will not shy away from the battle in front of him.
Even Atalanta silently raised her bow.
Even if it was unpleasant for Atalanta to be manipulated by Semiramis, the huntress seemed to be intent on carrying out her beastly instincts and never letting go of her prey.
Looking at these two Greek heroes, Joan of Arc's eyes changed.
“…… Do you really think that's good? ”
Joan of Arc stared at Achilles and Atalanta, and said so.
"What Amakusa Shiro is doing is undoubtedly wrong, are the two of you, as heroes, ready to help the abuse?"
Joan of Arc's questioning made Achilles and Atalanta's eyes flicker slightly.
"Wrong?" Atalanta cast a sharp gaze on Joan of Arc and said indifferently, "Why are you so unequivocally sure that it is wrong? ”
"Because, that's what my revelation tells me." Joan of Arc said without confusion: "Even if that is unfounded, I believe that what Shiro Amakusa is doing is an evil thing for the human race of this era, and even for the world. ”
“…… Is it? Atalanta said this, but her face became a little more indifferent than before, and she said to Joan of Arc, "But, sage, I think that what the man is about to do is something worthy of support for the hero. ”
"What did you say?" Joan of Arc was stunned.
"You don't know what the priest is going to do with the Great Grail, do you?" Achilles also looked at Joan of Arc and said, "He is going to use the Holy Grail to grant a wish." ”
"That's the relief of all mankind."
———— "relief for all mankind."
When these words reached Joan of Arc's ears, Joan of Arc's breathing almost stopped.
Almsgiving for all mankind?
Amakusa Shiro's wish is the relief of all mankind?
That kind of thing...
"Do you think it's impossible?" Achilles said very directly: "Why? That guy is a saint like you, huh? Although I don't like him, his wish is from the heart, and he really intends to use the Holy Grail for the relief of all mankind. ”
The Greek demigod hero followed Joan of Arc with great conviction.
Even Atalanta, who was on the side, nodded.
"I also have the same opinion, even if that man makes people feel very unpleasant, but only that wish is true, he has been going so far for that wish, this is the source of Amakusa Shiro's belief."
In other words, Amakusa Shiro's terrible belief was born for the relief of all mankind.
Why?
Joan of Arc is not enough to ask such a question.
Because, as Achilles said, even if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is just a little saint in the Far Eastern islands, he is also a miracle son who believes in the Lord, a true hero.
As long as it is a saint or something, its greatest ideal is undoubtedly to save the whole world.
However, until now, no saint or hero has ever been able to save the world.
It is not just about protecting humanity in times of crisis, but about real relief.
Namely...
"Create an ideal world free from strife, without desire, without evil, without sin."
Atalanta made a declaration to Joan of Arc.
"That's what Amakusa Shiro Shisada's wish is."
Such words silenced Joan of Arc.
Because, this wish is too far away.
It's so far away that it's impossible.
"The Holy Grail has a limit." Joan of Arc said in a low voice, "Amakusa Shiro's wish cannot be fulfilled at all. ”
And rightfully so?
Even the Holy Grail is not so powerful as to be able to fulfill such a distant wish.
Not to mention the Holy Grail created by the ritual of the Holy Grail War, even if it was a genuine Holy Grail, it would be impossible to fulfill this wish.
In this regard, Achilles and Atalanta also fell silent with complicated faces.
Obviously, the two also understand that this wish is basically impossible to come true.
Even if Amakusa Shiro Shizhen has found a way to realize this wish, no one will really believe it until this wish is truly realized.
Anyway, it's only theoretical.
But...
"But at least we haven't found a reason to refute his theory."
Atalanta's voice began to take on a slight obsession.
"In that case, there is no reason to be persuaded by you."
With that, Atalanta raised her bow.
"I'm sorry, Holy Maiden."
Achilles also set up his crossbow and fixed his eyes on Joan of Arc.
"You can get out of here here."
Battles are already inevitable.
