"So, the deal begins."

Bai Shuo slowly stood up from the spot and pulled out a half-human-high steel bar from the ruins.

Not far away, a vague human body was regrouping, flesh and blood squirming rapidly, and blue hair could be faintly seen growing back.

Bai Shuo staggered forward, a steel bar behind him dragged in his hand, rubbing against the broken stone and iron pieces on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Hello Senior Sister Hierre, first meeting."

In an instant, her chest shattered, and her heart was pierced again.

The steel bars in Bai Shuo's hands nailed her to the remaining concrete pier, cruel and bloody, blood splattering, staining the hideous smile on his cheeks.

"It's a bit presumptuous, but can I give you a break for a while?"

Once again, he pulled the twisted steel pipe from the rubble and aimed it at Hierre's reorganized right hand...... Not dying doesn't mean everything, and sometimes, it's not death that is the panacea for solving problems.

It can't be solved forever, but a temporary solution is enough.

"Okay, it's a little cruel, but it's a good idea." Eldest Sun Wu looked down at Shiyer at his feet, and then pulled out a few remaining steel bars from the ruined land.

…… Half a minute later, Bai Shuo used his own blood to draw incantations on several twisted iron rods nailed into the cement, and the meager light in his hand merged into the knots of the enchantment.

"Within an hour, if there is no external interference, senior sister, you can only lie on the ground and rest."

Bai Shuo looked into Shier's eyes: "It's over after sleeping, I hope you don't disturb my actions, otherwise you will regret it......"

"You'll find that sometimes, not dying isn't a good thing, really."

After saying that, he stood up with the broken street lamp beside him and walked to Emiya Kiritsugu's side.

His body had returned to its original form, but there were still countless dark wounds under his skin—broken muscles, bones strewn, pulses about to break.

Bai Shuo looked at the expressionless Emiya Kiritsugu and smiled: "Mr. Kiritsugu, sometimes it's cool to have no expression, but it's boring. ”

"Look, smile, how nice." The smile on Bai Shuo's face has never changed: "When facing some things, I don't know how to do it." A woman told me: just smile. ”

"I find that she still has a lot of point."

"Are you ready?" He looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's face insincerely: "Please cooperate a little, so that you can reduce unnecessary pain, and it will be a little more convenient for me." ”

"That's it."

Suddenly, Bai Shuo's right hand burned with angry dragon fire, and with the desperate blood-colored flames, the palm of the hand turned into a spirit body-like surname, and the arm, which was originally between the void and the real, was now completely transformed into an unrecognizable substance.

The five fingers that were closed together and like a knife stabbed into Emiya Kiritsugu's chest until all the wrists disappeared, completely submerging into Emiya Kiritsugu's chaotic magic circuit, and began to savagely pull and search.

So Emiya Kiritsugu's scream of pain came out, and in his magic circuit, a hand was pulling violently!

When the light of the flames dissipated, Emiya Kiritsugu had collapsed, and a magnificent scabbard with gold accents in the dark blue appeared in Bai Shuo's hand.

"Avalon, a distant ideal country...... Bai Shuo held the huge scabbard in his hand, slowly entering his magic circuit.

Almost visibly, the blood spreading above the bandage stopped, and the wound under the bandage began to close.

Even without a contract with the Knight King, Avalon's power began to heal his body.

The speed exceeded Bai Shuo's expectations, and he was stunned as he looked at the light that re-lit his fingertips.

If there is this kind of power, it is definitely not a problem to cure Chen Jingmo, right?

No, it will definitely be able to cure the girl who has lost consciousness...... Absolute!

He subconsciously didn't want to think about the consequences of that eventuality.

After the loss of Avalon, Emiya Kiritsugu's life is fine, but I'm afraid that if you want to walk normally, you need tools to assist you, right?

At this time, all you need is a dagger, and you can easily solve him.

After the loss of Avalon, Emiya Kiritsugu was already vulnerable.

Bai Shuo looked into his eyes, but withdrew his palm at the end.

"Either way, I want to thank you for giving me Avalon. Your cooperation has kept you alive, Mr. Emiya. ”

"The contract is complete, congratulations, Emiya Kiritsugu, keep living."

Bai Shuo smiled and stood up: "Look at the Holy Grail you are looking forward to, that kind of Holy Grail is really in line with the justice you are pursuing." ”

No longer speaking, Bai Shuo turned around and left this bloody battlefield, the outcome of the Holy Grail War was no longer important to him, and he hoped that the reward points earned by the team would be enough to deal with the punishment of the main god after the failure of the main quest.

For Bai Shuo, nothing is more important than Chen Jingmo's life.

He couldn't wait to get back to her, wait for her to open her eyes again, and smile.

―――――――――――――――― the beginning of summer was aimlessly advancing on the battlefield of blood and fire, and in the distance, he could see the light of the Holy Grail, the golden Holy Grail exuding a huge malice, and the magic contaminated by all the evils of this world was emanating.

And on the edge of the Distant River, the silent Agent forces are engaged in a ruthless extermination and purge, 'purging' out all the people and things involved in the Holy Grail.

However, these things don't matter to him anymore, and he doesn't know where he should go.

After the last hope was gone, he was only a two-star star, and he couldn't even survive on this battlefield that was about to end.

Xia Chu, who tried his best to get out of Ling Ke's control, even to kill people for Ling Ke and collect experimental materials, felt for the first time how funny and futile what he was doing.

Holding the treasure left behind by Gilgamesh in his hand, the ancient arrow was lying silently in the palm of his hand.

This is the strength of my last fight, how ironic and pitiful.

It's like the last bullet in the magazine, which can be left for others or for yourself.

"Haha...... ......"He leaned feebly against the ruined ruins, beside him, a steady stream of flames erupting from the leaking coal pipes, ready to explode at any moment.

"It doesn't matter......" he leaned against the wall with tears in his eyes, "and after struggling for so long, die in such a dark place...... It's ridiculous......"

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the empty air in front of him. There was obviously nothing there, but there was an unquestionable sense of existence, something and someone there...... "Who?" He clenched the arrow in his hand, and the C-futuristic bank card in his right hand could be turned into a longbow at any moment.

In front of him, scattered flames and steel gathered from the void, as if attracted by something, and finally gathered into a vague human form.

"Early summer?"

The figure that appeared in the void raised its head, and the surging flames formed a young and resolute face, which looked as if it had been seen somewhere, but Xia Chu couldn't remember it.

The man who suddenly appeared looked at Xia Chu's face and said, "Maybe it's not the first time we've met, hello." ”

"Who are you?" Xia Chu's fingers trembled, and he hooked the arrow on the bowstring, aiming it at the figure close at hand.

Unconcerned, as if a god descended from the sky, the visitor tilted his head and looked at Xia Chu: "If you want to be free or live, you'd better listen to me." Put down the little thing in your hand......"

"I'm sorry, but this is my last defense." Xia Chu didn't let go of the bowstring, and looked at the phantom in front of him with some red and swollen eyes: "If you have something to say, please say it quickly, it's not so easy to take my surname." ”

Seemingly not caring about Xia Chu's offense, the phantom in the flames sat on a heavy throne and looked at the arrow in Xia Chu's hand with interest: "The Seven Arrows of the Big Dipper (Note 1), the treasure of Atalanta?" Ha, that lady is really generous......"

Xia Chu took a deep breath and didn't say anything, and showed what he meant wordlessly-if you have something to say, say it quickly.

The flame figure smiled, propped his elbows on the armrests of the throne, and placed his ten fingers tangled in his chin: "To get back to the point: help me do things, and in return, I will give you this little thing." ”

Between him and the beginning of summer, a delicate and small round emblem appeared, the white insignia that could be pinned to the chest like a medallion.

"Something that can break away from any teamfights and teams, a valuable item that allows you to get out of this world's quests at no cost - the Immunity Badge."

Waiver Badge ...... For a moment, Xia Chu's breathing almost stopped, and he knew what this thing was...... If you want to get it, it is said that you need three A-level stories and a lot of reward points to be able to apply for exemption missions, and after completing a series of tasks, you can get a badge with immunity.

Once the surname prop, as long as it is used, it can be separated from all the tasks in the current world, and wait for the end of the mission as an outsider, even if the team is wiped out, it will not involve the user in the slightest.

You don't need to worry about the penalty for failing the main quest, and you won't be attacked by a plane creature with a reputation of hatred, so as long as you don't attack after using it, you can wait for the story to end as an outsider...... Such a thing, just as a payment?!

Xia Chu didn't dare to imagine what this guy in front of him wanted to do, what kind of reward he wanted to get for paying this kind of props?

He almost wanted to run away...... "Oh? It's no wonder that I can survive so quickly, no wonder I can survive......" The figure in the flame muttered to himself in a low voice, looked at his expression and said: "It's not easy to find a person who has a causal connection with the two of them from this time and space, don't force me to annihilate you, whether you want to or not, listen carefully to me......"

The figure of the flame seemed to tremble, as if it was about to dissipate, and said in a somewhat hurried tone:

"Because I can't influence the world for various reasons, even though I would love to beat him up.

But it can have serious consequences, such as if space-time is closed into a ring, the never-ending cycle is very troublesome, and I don't have the hobby of tossing and turning idle...... Well, there are a lot of things you don't understand, and you don't have to think about it. ”

The visitor smiled and looked at the beginning of the summer, the flames darting around his figure like a flaming robe, and the cold iron throne revealed its silhouette behind him.

"You have to listen carefully to what is going on, if you forget, I'll be angry......"
