Chapter 399: Ascension
Saber trembled and picked up the history book in his hand, and when he was summoned, the Holy Grail had already instilled enough modern common sense in the Heroic Spirits, and as the host city, Fuyuki City, of course, Japanese was also a necessary common sense.
She hadn't read the history books that had written her, and during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu deliberately blocked this knowledge, and she didn't touch it because she had a different kind of fear of such a thing.
This is understandable from a magician's point of view, the purpose of summoning the Heroic Spirit is not to let you untie the knot in the other's heart, but to fight, and in order to obtain the Universal Wishing Machine, a qualified Master must order his Servant to commit suicide at the end of the spell in order to remove the last obstacle to obtaining the Holy Grail. This is also the real reason why Gilgamesh betrayed Tosaka Tokitoki, as a hero king, how could he be a stepping stone on Tosaka's magical path.
Only if the Servant has the motivation to fight, can he help the Master to win, otherwise, the Servant cannot be summoned, even if you have a holy relic, but the Heroic Spirit is also a human in front of him, how can there be no regrets, this gives the magician an illusion, as if only with the Holy Relic can summon the Heroic Spirit he wants.
Even Gilgamesh, who seems to have the least need for the Holy Grail on the surface, has his own hope deep down, that is, to resurrect his friend Enkidu, which is why he was so out of shape about the destruction of the Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Ten years of evil in this world have unconsciously distorted his original intention, and his arrogant appearance has made him completely disgusted with the world. In ancient times, every human being was made up of value. Because scarcity is expensive.
But in modern times, the value of human beings is infinitely diluted. It is difficult for a single person's labor to have any impact on society, but people are also precious, because once there is a certain degree of human beings in modern times, the entire modern society will collapse directly, because such a prosperous modern era is completely supported by these seemingly inconspicuous labor forces, without these people, society cannot function.
The weariness of the world led Gilgamesh to think of destroying the world, which is unreasonable. Naturally, the measure of the hero king cannot tolerate too many people, and only his heart changes.
The sound of a quiet flipping book resounded in this small private room, and the atmosphere was completely condensed, obviously coming in under the pretext of resting, but now, everyone watched Saber move motionlessly.
This treatment lasted from the afternoon to the night, and no one said a word, not even if it was not the Heroic Spirit's Emiya Shirou. Rin and Sakura can also endure quietly, and the magician is more than that.
A book was quickly flipped through Saber's hand, and as the flip progressed, her face filled with remembrance. Happy, sorry, regretful...... A variety of expressions are generated in the course of her flipbook. As the books became more and more reversed, her face finally showed relief.
The book in her hand was thrown down by her. Saber stood up.
"Let's go." Saber said.
"Aren't you reading?" Emiya Shirou said cautiously, for fear of irritating the weak-looking girl.
"I don't look at it. Because...... I am King Arthur! Saber's face flushed with pride, "Although Britain caused temporary chaos because of my affairs, but in the end, Britain still stood up, and later became the strongest country in the world, even now, in the dark world, it is Britain who is the king, what do I regret?" β
What Saber said was that Britain's world influence and economy were no longer as glorious as they used to be, but that every empire would inevitably have its glory and decline, and she still had insight into this.
But the glory of the past has also brought great progress to the magic of Britain, which can be seen from the headquarters of the Magic Association in the London Clock Tower, although the Magic Association is composed of the Clock Tower, the Atlas Academy, and the Wandering Sea, but in modern times, basically, the Clock Tower is synonymous with the Magic Association, and it is also the highest school of magic in the world, and enjoys a high reputation in the whole world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the master of the dark world.
Even if Britain's influence in the world is weakened now, it is also a force to be reckoned with in the world, and every British person is now living a life that she could not have imagined before, what is she not satisfied with.
In the face of such facts, Saber finally let go of self-blame, maybe she was ordinary in governing the country and did not take the development of the country to heart, but there is no doubt that she led Britain to strength and made a strong mark in the history of Britain.
Movies about her have been remade for an unknown number of years, and the reputation of the Knight King has spread to the world with the rise of Britain, and even in Japan, it can be seen that she can get the addition of legends, but on the contrary, CΓΊ Chulainn, who is as famous as her, does not have this treatment.
Saber's face shone with strong pride, at this moment, she finally let go of the remorse in her heart, maybe the final result was not good, the famous Knights of the Round Table were destroyed in infighting, this was indeed her dereliction of duty, but the future glory of Britain erased all mistakes, King Arthur, she deserved it.
Saber showed an unstoppable brilliance without the knot, and at this moment, she became a representative of the light. Gao Fei hurriedly blocked the space here, so that the abnormality here could not be detected by ordinary people.
Surrounded by light, Saber completed a magnificent metamorphosis, and the Heroic Spirit could no longer summarize her current situation, and she was elevated to the Holy Spirit, a higher level of existence than the Heroic Spirit, of which Joan of Arc is an outstanding representative.
Looking at such a scene, Goofy didn't know what to think in his heart, in his original plan, was to let Saber let go of his heart knot and experience the happiness of a girl, the result was self-defeating, Saber without the heart knot directly upgraded to the Holy Spirit, she became the representative of the legend, the embodiment of glory, there is really no difference between men and women, the original human mind was directly erased, and became the embodiment of purity.
When the light faded and Saber reappeared in front of everyone, everything was different.
Obviously he still looks like that, but now Saber has become the embodiment of perfection, any words to describe the other party are as if it is blasphemy, the holy eyes look at everyone, making the other party feel naked, and all evil thoughts are hidden in the eyes of the other party.
The only exception was Goofy, when Saber looked at him, the abyss was like the sea, and there were no waves in Hirai, Saber's eyes were stunned, and a trace of inexplicable thought flashed.
"Shirou, hold your hand out." Goofy ordered to Emiya Shirou, because Goofy didn't have any bad deeds and had a great favor to Sakura, so he unconsciously stretched out his hand.
The blood-colored light was in all directions at this moment, and the three spells disappeared on the back of Emiya Shirou's hand in an instant, so fast that people couldn't react.
Before Emiya Shirou could express his opinion, another scene caught their eyes.
Without the restraint of the spell, Saber turned into a point of light in a ray of light, even if the Holy Grail is so powerful, it can be said that it is the strongest crystallization of magic, but it still cannot restrain the existence of the Holy Spirit.
In the final moment of vanishing, Saber smiled at Goofy and vanished.
"What's going on?" Looking at the place where Saber disappeared, Emiya Shirou asked in a daze.
"Saber untied the knot in her heart and became the Holy Spirit, the Holy Grail could no longer restrain the other party, and the Holy Spirit could not remain in the world at will, and she left."
Goofy explained what had happened, leaving the people present in a stupor again. (To be continued......)
