212 Sword and Sheath
The six Heroic Spirits battled together, and the scene became even more chaotic than before, among which Artoria had been completely suppressed by the thunder, and could only parry the opponent's stormy attack and was powerless to fight back.
"Where are you looking, crumbs!" Gilgamesh's golden twin swords stabbed Lily in the chest, but were again resisted by the opponent's scabbard, and although Lily was more worried about Artoria, she was entangled by Gilgamesh and had no chance to help.
Nero looked at Arthur, the air currents generated by the swing of the greatsword in her hand lifted the golden ground, and she said with a smile, "Are you worried about that over there?" β
"Are you kidding? If she dies, I'll sit with you and drink to celebrate! Arthur rushed towards Nero after speaking, and the black holy sword in his hand swung again to fight with Nero.
β¦β¦ Rin couldn't bear the battle anymore as she stared at it, she jumped up and stood on the couch and pointed at the hermit next to her and asked loudly, "What the hell are you thinking?!" The women down there are all in love with you, right? You're the one who wants to kill Saber, right?! What are you thinking? Do you sit here and watch them kill each other?! β
The flames of anger were completely ignited, and Rin felt that the group of people below was really pitiful, not to mention a few women who fought together, just the battle between Ray and Artoria had made it impossible for her to continue watching, what the hell was going on?!
Rin is not stupid, although there is only one night, but she can understand the feelings of these women for Lei Zhe, even if this is the Holy Grail War, even if the Holy Grail War is cruel, it should not be such a tragedy, especially since the creator of this tragedy is still the person next to him, this bastard who is loved by the women and is the same person as the amnesiac heroic spirit below!
Rin kind of understands that he can't, is this bastard's thought circuit different from that of a normal person?
The hermit smoked a cigarette and calmly looked at the bottom without a single emotional fluctuation, and when Rin was about to explode again, he spoke, "Well, don't you think it's very joyful? What could be more accomplished than so many wonderful women fighting for themselves? Isn't that every man's dream? This proves how good I am, how good I am, and how likable I am! β
Saying this, he raised his head to look at his master and smiled, "Don't you feel honored to have such a good sevant as me?" β
Before the hermit's words were finished, Rin's fist had already hit him in the face, don't look at Rin as a weak girl, but the strength was definitely greater than that of the average adult, this circle even cracked the half-covered mask on the hermit's face, and the cigarette caught in his finger fell and was blown away by the wind, the hermit did not show anger because of Rin's beating, and was still so calm.
Grabbing his collar, Rin raised her right fist again and hit the hermit in the face, her right fist had already appeared wounded because of the hit on the mask, and the corners of the hermit's mouth were also covered with blood, Rin's expression was full of anger, she looked at her Ying Ling and said, "I really want to dig out your heart now to see what color it is, if it's cold...!" β
In Rin's questioning, the half-masked mask on the hermit's face shattered into pieces and fell, Rin let go of her hand and took two steps back and sat down on the sofa, she covered her mouth and looked at the hermit speechless in horror, her eyes were full of shock and fear, she seemed to see a monster at that moment just now...!
Even though it was just a glance, Rin swore that she would never see that thing in her life, it was, it was hell!
Covering the broken part of the mask with his hand, the hermit looked at his master, and said with a light smile on the corner of his bloody mouth, "Did you see that?" Scary, isn't it? What did you just see? β
"They... Theyβ" Rin said tremblingly, her hands clasped over her shoulders and sweat soaking her clothes, how she wished she had never seen the face under that mask?!
The hermit's hand was raised, the torn mask had been restored to its original state, he straightened his body, and a cigarette appeared again in his hand with Erlang's leg crossed, lit and smoked, and after a long time he continued: "Tragedy? This is the real tragedy, a tragedy of my own making..."
"You, what the hell have you done?!" Rin now realizes that her Heroic Spirit actually has a lot of stories, especially the face under the mask, is that really a face? In Rin's opinion, it is simply bondage and torture of humans, like the legendary hell!
"What have you done?" The hermit looked at Rin and smiled, then said calmly, "I... I will kill all the species in the future and destroy this world with my own hands, you know, in fact, you should be my apprentice, otherwise how can you summon me and become my master without holy relics? In fact, I also designed this Holy Grail for the reason of changing the future of this world..."
Finally the hermit raised his hand and the golden scabbard appeared in the air, and after he waved his hand slightly, the scabbard fell from the sky, and the target was Artoria, who was about to be unable to support it, Rin watched his every move from the side, and at the same time her head was running wildly to guess how much the other party said was credible, but in the end, when she remembered the other party's face, she chose to believe the other party.
"It's because I've been through everything that I've been through that I'm so calm. It is because I have lost everything that I know that the joy of this moment is not easy to come by. The hermit said without any emotional fluctuations, he glanced at Rin again and smiled: "Because what they need is not me, but him below..."
Rin suddenly discovers that this man who is always unrestrained and heartless is the most pitiful of all, because in the end he will not get anything..."They are sheaths, but they don't belong to my broken sword, do they?" The hermit finally closed his eyes and stopped watching the battle below, as if he was asleep, but Rin knew that he was still looking down, watching those who loved him and those he loved......... The battle between Ray and Artoria is nearing the end, the girl has been severely hit in the battle with Gilgamesh, at this time it is not easy to fight with Ray until now, although she has exerted all her strength, but her body is still covered with wounds, although there are no fatal injuries, but now she has no ability to continue fighting.
The black sword reappeared and turned into a streamer and stabbed at the girl's neck, and Artoria no longer had the strength to resist. There was a hint of reluctance on her blood-stained face with her hands drooping, and an expression that resembled relief. She looked at the advancing thunder, and at this moment she seemed to see the familiar figure, who was standing in front of her and looking at her.
The broken sword in his hand fell, although it had been broken, but the long sword was still inserted into the golden ground, Artoria raised her right hand and stretched out to Ray, muttering in her mouth: "I'm sorry I didn't win again, I, I'm really useless, Ray..."
With her eyes closed, Artoria waited for her last moment, she really hoped that this time she would not return to the desolate and cold Valhalla.
God, if he is in hell, then please throw me into the same scorching hell, I am willing to endure all the curses and stay by his side... At this moment, the other two people, Arthur and Lily, seemed to sense something at the same time, their eyes fell on Artoria with closed eyes and a smile on her face, and the girl's last wish was conveyed to the hearts of the two, as if a thunderbolt fell from the sky across their hearts.
"What's the use of your prayers to God, the gods of this world are long dead! Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, you should raise your sword and fight to the end, you bastard, you are Artoria. Pan Dagang, you're me!! The blackened Arthur instantly burst out with great power, and the black broken sword appeared in her other hand.
"I'm the only one who can kill you! Get out of the way, you cow! The broken sword in Arthur's hand condensed into purple thunder, and she became even more crazy, and Nero instantly felt the pressure double!
...... "She's going to die." Gilgamesh looked at the pure white knight and said, she knew that Artoria's final fate was only death, and one of the three had been resolved, although none of the three had been killed, but she always felt that the irresolvable resentment in her heart had dissipated a lot.
"......" Lily's holy sword was put into the scabbard, she also took out a black broken sword, and the holy sword in the scabbard floated in the air around her, she looked at Gilgamesh and said, "She's me, how can she be out so easily?" Our wish has not yet come true! β
...... "It's not over yet, Tolia, open your eyes and look ahead, you can still hold the sword now, right?" Even if you don't have your own destiny, you still have the desire to accomplish it, and your hand should still be able to hold the sword, right? Are you going to let go again, it's your scabbard! A voice sounded in Artoria's head, a voice that was so calm even after all these years, and Artoria could not forget it even after all these years.
She opened her eyes to find a knight in black armor standing in front of her, a red glow shining in the slit of his helmet when he turned his head: "I am your sword and your sheath, Tolia, can you still look ahead again and continue to move forward for your own desires?" If you can, then raise your sword and fight again..."
"Ray...?" Artoria looked at the black knight and said, and at this moment, the black knight suddenly exploded and disappeared as if it had never appeared, and the golden scabbard was suspended in front of Artoria, and Ray's long sword was resisted by this scabbard, and then pushed away by the burst of magic.
The invisible sword in her hand reappeared, the wounds on Artoria's body healed quickly, and the originally exhausted magic power also frantically filled her body, and the familiar voice reappeared: "Thank you for remembering me after so many years..."
Arthur and Lily, who were fighting at this moment, heard this sentence at the same time, their movements suddenly froze, and they said a little dazedly: "Ray? β
In the distance, Lei's body squatted slightly, and the double swords in his hands were raised cautiously to look at Artoria who burst out with crazy magic, and in that golden light, the girl in the blue dress appeared again.
With a fluttering long skirt, silver armor, and a golden holy sword in its scabbard, the girl looked at the enemy in the distance and said calmly, "Let's start the second round." β
Tightening her grip on the golden scabbard, Artoria said, "I have already lost once, and this time I will hold on to my sword, this time not for Britain, and I will no longer be King Arthur." I will win the war and fulfill my wish as Artoria...! β
