I don't know how many times, I was knocked into the air.

I don't know how many times, I was knocked to the ground effortlessly.

Saber had given up counting because she couldn't remember.

What is the strongest sword-wielding Servant, who made it up - now she is like a small boat in a storm. Faced with Berserker's black sword, she could only give up resisting the attack, unable to even make a decent counterattack. She wouldn't even be upset by that. The heart that was silent in despair had long lost a little fighting spirit. She was no longer the valiant knight-king known as the incarnation of the dragon. It's so tragic, it's sad.

They were supposed to save Alice Phil, who had sworn to hold the Holy Grail together. She can't bow her head here, she knows it very well in her heart.

However, it is not possible to win. In the face of that man, that sword, it is impossible to win.

"The Light of the Indestructible Lake" - Paired with King Arthur's "Sword of Oath of Victory", the supreme sword that people received from the elves.

The sword was dyed black, and the magic of resentment in him had degenerated his saber into the sword of a berserker.

He was originally the only "perfect knight" admired by everyone, and he was the flower that bloomed on the top of the steep peaks of the knight's road. His figure and style were once the treasure of all knights and aspiring people.

And he was committed to madness. Red eyes rolled with abomination and roared like beasts.

He roared, I hate you.

He roared, I curse you.

How do you dodge the sword he wields with hatred?

Can't face it. His vision was hazy in tears, and his legs bent weakly. Saber is doing everything she can at this point. Only protect your body before you receive a fatal blow.

Lancelot Qing. Knight of the Lake.

Now that I think about it, there are actually many clues that can see his true identity.

He had withheld his name for the sake of his friend's reputation. Disguised to participate in horse racing. Even if you fall into a trap, face the enemy's blade with your bare hands. He was victorious with his martial arts skills using only elm branches.

But even if he did, Saber wouldn't admit it. How could he be the "Knight of the Lake", who was so admired, that he would be Berserker?

Saber had believed that they were friends. Even if they meet each other for some unavoidable reason, their hearts are still the same. One side is the courtier who embodies the chivalry, and the other side is the king who embodies the chivalry.

However, is this kind of fetters just her naïve fantasy alone?

He has never forgiven, he cannot accept it. After he died. is still cursing such an ending with resentment, such a tragic fate.

Lancelot and Gnavelle fall in love, but Artoria does not regard this inextricable injustice as treachery, all because the king hides his gender. The one who must bear this contradiction for the rest of his life is Gnevere.

Artoria understood the weight of the sacrifice and thanked him. At the same time, there is also guilt in the play. But she was even relieved by Lancelot, the man who fell in love with her. This man, who shares Wang's ideals, will not plunge the country into crisis, and she believes that he will share the responsibility with her. And in fact, he did. Although he is troubled by stepping into the path of unrighteousness. But he still secretly supported Gnevelle and supported the king.

The reason why it was exposed as a scandal and forced the two to stand in opposing positions was also planned by those traitors who hated Camorot. As Lancelot could not sit idly by and watch his beloved woman be killed. Artoria had to execute him as king.

No one is wrong, and it is precisely because everyone is right that tragedy has occurred.

Let's put it this way. Artoria has always held her head high as a king and fought to the end.

So, in the face of that hill. On the battlefield stained red with blood, she can argue with the heavens about the injustice of fate.

If you follow the path you strive for, you will not be able to get the right result. Then it must be heaven that is at fault.

Then if there is a holy grail that can achieve miracles, she can hold her head high forever. It is because of her conviction that she fights.

But-

“■■■■■■！！”

Under the relentless onslaught of the indestructible lake, Saber's holy sword groaned. This sword of light, which promised victory, has long since lost its meaning in the hands of its owner, who has lost his fighting spirit.

Berserker kept scolding Saber for not being able to fight back and just defensive. At this moment, he has completely liberated his true strength, and his swordsmanship is not at all comparable to his previous level. Even if Saber is uninjured at the moment, he may not be able to resist the powerful momentum.

But in the face of the fierce attack of her opponent and the pain of her hands and feet, Saber was unmoved, and the enemy's strength and ruthless attacks were gradually disintegrating her spirit.

Ahh......h Is that what you intended?

So desperate for fate? Are you cursing hatred to bring you despair of kings and kingdoms?

We originally had the same dream, and we all put our lives on the line to save the country.

If there is no difference in our aspirations, then why do you hate it so much. Do you regret it?

-- Salvation alone cannot lead --

No. Tell me it's not like that.

Lancelot. Only you. I hope you understand. Because you're the ideal knight.

I hope you'll nod your head in agreement, and I'm doing the right thing......

--Leaving behind the people who have lost their way, I want to be a saint alone.〜

"Stop!!"

Saber relied on the last of his sanity to block the falling black sword, shouting with all his might.

“…… Stop...... Please......"

With a whimper, his knees fell limply to the ground.

I can't move, I've reached the limit. There is no way to defend against the next attack.

Perhaps, this is the only salvation.

Since he was so unwilling, so hateful, there was no other way to compensate for it than to take the sword back with his body.

Just as Saber decided to give up resistance altogether, Berserker suddenly stopped.

Saber and Berserker had no way of knowing that just a few tens of seconds earlier, Tosaka Tokitomi's gem system had been updated and had passively ceased its activity.

The Servant's reserve mana, which would have allowed the Servant to remain in the present world for hours in the absence of the Master, was depleted within ten seconds of Berserker's rampage. At this moment, the magic that drove the killing machine suddenly dried up, causing Berserker to come to an emergency stop as if it had malfunctioned.

……

"Did you do that again?" After noticing this anomaly, Archer immediately aimed his suspicious gaze at the smiling Li Amen.

"That's right." Li Amen directly admitted, "Isn't that great? That's what you'd expect. After all, if Saber has to be defeated by someone, that person is only you. ”

Archer laughed, "That's right, I'm the only one who can bring Saber down." That mad dog was by you like this, but it really suits my heart. ”

Li Amen smiled and said nothing, he didn't just help Saber, it was really important to be able to maintain the big event of letting Saber destroy the Holy Grail in the end, but more importantly, it was to be able to let Yanye and Shichen continue to entangle, and then keep tearing apart forever, this is the most interesting thing in the world.

If it weren't for the sake of achieving these two goals at the same time, Li Amen would not have deliberately left that clone to correct the plot that was already biased to the obvious.

If it weren't for Amen's corrective actions, I'm afraid that many things would lead to a shattered future.

In this way, the restraining force will no longer tolerate Li Amen's chaos, and this type of moon world may not welcome him anymore.

Possessing a contract with inhibition means that if Li Amen meets the conditions in the future, he can come to the Moon World without going through the system, and even summon something from the Moon World.

Although this is subject to contract, there are many benefits to it.

If you are hated by the inhibition force, not only will you continue to fulfill the contract to do things for the Moon World, but you may be denied permission to let Li Amen enter and leave the Moon World, and you will not be able to get any benefits from the Moon World, which will outweigh the losses.

In order to avoid all this, even if Li Amen changes the plot, he has to revise the plot, which is also a helpless thing.

Although, as long as the Holy Grail is destroyed in time, it doesn't matter who destroys it.

But, to be honest, it is impossible for anyone other than Emiya Kiritsugu to want to destroy the Holy Grail at all.

So, all this must be the heir of Emiya, and it must be Saber.

This is the general trend and cannot be changed.

Because of this incident, Li Amen also realized more and more what the "way of heaven" is.

Subverting the general trend is actually going against the world, and unless the power is strong enough to a certain extent, it is destined to have no good results.

Therefore, the general trend does not change, and the small trend changes.

Compared to the things that can decide the fate of the world, no matter how big other things are, they are only small trends.

"Huh?" Archer suddenly moved, because Qili didn't seem to be in the right state, and what was the black mud that Qili was looking at through Qili's gaze?

And, it seems, there's magic changing, something is taking shape, what is that great power? Is it the Holy Grail?

Archer, who sensed this, was about to act, but when he saw Saber, he suddenly paused and decided to wait.

Sure enough, more than the Holy Grail, appreciating Saber's tangle and pain, this is what Archer likes. (To be continued......)
