Chapter 108: The Legend of King Arthur (1)
The immense coercion of the Double Command ravages and squeezes Saber's body, drawing out the remaining magic from her and weaving it into the Light of Destruction.
The beam of light that was released cut through the auditorium, striking the Holy Grail floating on the stage.
Archer was quick enough to dodge the attack, but the close-range beam was too dazzling for him to attack Kiritsugu.
Just as the golden chalice suspended in mid-air was about to be annihilated, a figure appeared.
It was a beautiful girl with long silver hair and sexy armor. She stared coldly at the beam of light generated by the "Oath Cannon", and with a powerful swing of the white steel sword inlaid with red gems in her hand, she destroyed the unstoppable blow of Saber's mana that drained her whole body!
That's right, it's sabotage!
It is a well-known common sense that only energy attacks of the same level can cancel each other out of the formless and qualitative energy attacks. However, this silver-haired beautiful girl swordsman broke the concept of everyone on the scene and appeared in front of everyone with an invincible and powerful attitude.
"Who is she?"
This question invariably surfaced on Emiya Kiritsugu, Archer, and Saber. Only Elquite, who was eating potato chips and watching the play, had a very subtle expression, as if she had seen something unusual.
"The Sword"
When Saber looked at the mysterious beautiful girl in front of him, his eyes immediately attracted the steel sword she was holding.
Not only Saber, but also Archer and Emiya Kiritsugu recognized it.
They had seen the white steel sword more than once, and there was only one person who had it!
"The King of Swords, this. Is that who you really are? Saber muttered.
But the stars didn't mean to explain.
For him, the fusion transformation delayed every second. The burden on the body is heavier. Moreover, the Noble Phantasm, which was forced to exert its power against his intentions, has exhausted all of Saber's remaining magical power. I can't even maintain the servant's physical form.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu, who is the master of the contractor, has no intention of retaining at all.
Saber's body begins to become transparent. Just as she was about to disappear, the Night Sky Star, who appeared beside her as fast as possible, took her hand and injected golden holy light into her body, stabilizing her body.
"What are you doing here?"
Saber was no longer able to resist, and she was confused by what was happening in front of her.
"Saber, I said it a long time ago, my purpose is to destroy the Holy Grail. This Holy Grail War will be lost, as long as you still crave the Holy Grail. You must be waiting for the next summoning, right? But my purpose is to make the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City disappear forever! You'll never have a chance again. β
"What?!"
Saber, who was already unsteady on his feet, was in a trance and almost collapsed. She looked at the night star with extremely sad eyes, "Did you leave me behind to cut off all my hopes?" β
"No, I can't bear to see you continue this tragedy. Aren't you eager to save your homeland? Aren't you questioning your unworthiness to be king? Then, let me accompany you back to your time and assist you to become the most ideal and qualified king in your mind! β
This was decided on the spur of the day after seeing Saber's belief that he chose to stick to this path despite how frustrated he was. He was glad that it was Elquit who came with him, not Scarlet Sakura. Because the person who can help the Night Sky Star fulfill Artoria's wish, looking at the entire Moon World, there is only Elquit. Brunstadt one!
Before stopping the "Oath Cannon" from destroying the Holy Grail. Nightstar had already told Erquit of her thoughts, and the True Ancestor Princess knew what to do.
As Nightstar looked at her, Elquit shoved the potato chips into his mouth and patted his hands covered in spices and grease. Jumping up and down in front of Saber and Night Sky Star, who were holding hands.
"Ready? Then I'll get started! β
Saber looked at Elquit, just about to ask something. I saw that her bright red vertical pupils instantly turned golden. My mind was in a trance for a while, and I was stunned.
Also captured by those eyes was the Night Star, which had been disintegrated from Esther.
"You guys. What are you doing? β
After consuming all the spells, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is no longer the master, is coming. He was tempted to question why Nightstar had stopped Saber from destroying the Holy Grail. However, Elquit only glanced at it casually, and then said, "Celestial Star asked me to tell you a word before: 'Leave the destruction of the Holy Grail to me. This is my mission, and it is better for you to go to the Katong Mansion than this, because there is a person who is very important to you. ββ
After imitating the tone of the Night Star, Elquit added, "By the way, the Star also said that you are no longer Saber's master, so the things that belong to Saber will be handed over to us for safekeeping for the time being, and we will return them to her." β
ββ
After a pause, Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, "Okay, that thing won't work for me anyway." β
With that, Emiya Kiritsugu pulled out a golden scabbard with elven characters engraved on it from his body.
This is the scabbard that once belonged to King Arthur - "the ideal land (Avalon) away from the world"
Handing the scabbard to Elquit, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even look at Saber and walked straight to the outside of the auditorium. In his heart, he told him that he had to listen to the words that the blonde woman had told him to go to the "King of the Sword King", otherwise he would miss the most important thing in his life.
Emiya Kiritsugu did not tell SΓΉsaber that his consciousness had entered the inside of the Holy Grail and had seen what kind of existence the so-called Holy Grail was. It wasn't a "universal wishing machine" at all, and he finally understood why the Night Star, who participated in this war as the eighth master, had never been to pursue the Holy Grail but to destroy the Holy Grail in the first place. If that kind of thing is allowed to appear, it will definitely ruin the whole world!
Knowing this truth, Emiya Kiritsugu resolutely chose to give up the Holy Grail and give up his dream.
Emiya Kiritsugu is gone. Saber only relied on the power of the Night Star to stay in this world temporarily. As for Archer, he sensed the death of the contractor who provided him with his magical powers, Yan Feng Qili. However, with the skill of acting alone, he can stay in the world for a day even if he does not use the magic supply of the master.
Interrupted by Kiritsugu Emiya during his confession to Saber. Archer was originally angry, and he had killed Kiritsugu to vent his anger. It's just that Erquit, who has already been explained by the Night Sky Star, stares at him without blinking, and as long as he makes the slightest move, he will immediately stop him.
Not to mention that the archer who appeared here was only a clone of the heroic spirit Gilgamesh, even if Gilgamesh himself came here, he would not be Erquit's opponent.
After sucking the blood of the Night Star, Erquit no longer needed to suppress the urge to suck blood.
How strong she is when she can give it her all, even she doesn't know.
In the world of the moon, it may only be described as invincible.
Aware of the danger, Archer dismissed the idea completely. With a cold snort, the spirit was gone.
He wants to take advantage of the last little time left to enjoy this era.
Archer's departure did not stop Elquet, and Nightstar had told her before that Gilgamesh was a person with high self-esteem and would not change his decisions lightly.
This is also the quality that a king has.
Capricious, that's the villain.
As king, Gilgamesh may be a tyrant, but he is by no means a villain.
The words were divided into two ends, when Elquit's enchanting eye captured the minds of both Night Star and Saber at the same time. In accordance with the instructions of the night star, she embodied her fantasy through guΓ², and built a world that only existed in fantasy based on Saber's memory.
In this fantasy world. Saber was back before he drew the sword in the stone. At this time, she was just a little knight dressed as a man. And the identity of the Night Star, who entered with her, was the son of her adoptive father, Sir Aector. That is, Artoria's titular brother.
In order to hide the identity, of course. She is not called Artoria at this time, but a "boy" named Arthur.
After the death of King Uther. The courtiers were all trying to expand their power, and many were plotting to usurp the throne. Merlin went to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he summoned all the dukes and knights of the country to gather in London at Christmas, and anyone who refused to attend would be cursed by God. For it was on this night that Jesus was born, and in his capacity as the Sovereign Lord of all mankind, he had shown great grace and miracles for the benefit of the world.
He will also perform miracles as to who will be the real king. The bishop accepted Merlin's edict and summoned the dukes and armed nobles of the whole country to gather in London on Christmas Eve. After the dukes and nobles received the notice, many began to repent in the hope that God would accept their prayers. On Christmas Day, before dawn, all the nobles, big and small, gathered in the largest church in London to begin praying. After they had finished their morning prayers and the first Mass, they suddenly saw a large square stone in the courtyard of the church, leaning against a high altar, very much like marble. In the center of the stone platform stood an anvil about a foot high, on which was inserted a sword with the tip pointing upwards and engraved with gold inscriptions on all sides: "Whoever pulls this sword out of the stone platform is the true king of England." β
The people were astonished and went to tell the bishop. When the bishop heard this, he said to them: "Now I command you to remain in the church and continue to pray, and no one shall touch this sword until the end of the Mass." β
After the nobles finished Mass, they came to see the stone platform and the sword. After reading it, some tried to draw their swords in the hope of becoming kings, but no one could pull them. The bishop said: "The man who can draw the sword has not yet come, but God will let him know about it." He added, "According to my opinion, now ten knights of the highest repute have been chosen to guard the sword." Then a rule was issued: Anyone who wanted to draw the sword could come and try it. The nobles also planned to hold horse jousting and group tournaments during the New Year, in which all the knights were happy to participate, allowing both nobles and commoners to come together. The bishop was convinced that God would let him find the man who could draw the sword. (To be continued......)
