Liu Mengchao's footsteps were very light, like clouds on the horizon, drifting over little by little, without the slightest sound. It wasn't until he came to Saber that he looked at the girl's face so carefully for the first time.

Even before she was on the verge of death, the girl tensed her face to prevent the moonlight from shining through her cheeks.

Weak but strong, strong and strong.

Isn't this the girl in front of me?

Liu Mengchao slowly squatted down and quietly looked at the girl who had fallen asleep in front of him. She slept so soundly that it seemed like she would sleep forever and ever. In the girl's dream, there is her motherland and her ideals. She was a king, a king revered by all knights.

Words and deeds are the benchmark for all knights. What he did was the expectation of his subjects. Everything does not belong to himself, but to the shackles called the Knight King that are put on him.

Even in dreams, it is no exception.

Liu Mengchao thought about it, smiled, and looked at the butterflies that permeated him.

In the story of FATE/ZERO, Emiya Kiritsugu summoned the legendary king with King Arthur's scabbard, a noble device named Avalon. Liu Mengchao remembered that in that legend about King Arthur, there was such a fragment.

Merlin once asked the Knight King which was more important, the sword or the scabbard, and the Knight King at that time did not hesitate to say such a thing.

"All I need is a sword."

Because only the sword can lead the knights to charge, to fulfill the wishes of the subjects, to protect and fight. And all this, the scabbard cannot. The scabbard can only protect the sword in one's hand, so that the sword will not hurt oneself.

But the man who is already covered in bruises. How can you care about yourself being hurt more?

She won't.

"So then you lost your scabbard and became King Arthur who only held the sword of the Victory Oath." Liu Mengchao said slowly in front of Saber. The girl who was on the verge of death seemed to feel Liu Mengchao's words, her brows furrowed tightly, and her skin that could be broken by blowing in the moonlight looked even paler.

Blood was pouring out of her slender neck. Liu Mengchao knew that at the last moment, all the beliefs of this king almost collapsed, and she didn't know what to do. So I chose to die.

But......

Liu Mengchao glanced at the Sword of Oath Victory that had been dropped on the ground by Saber and shook his head gently. Letting Saberi Sakura become Saber's master could only be regarded as a casual play, but Liu Mengchao now feels that this is the most correct decision he has made.

"Live...... That little girl must have given you such an order with the last spell, Saber? That's why you've been able to stay at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Archer without dying, so you've been able to hold on until now after losing all your combat power. That's why you're ......."

Liu Mengchao said, his fingers reaching down slightly, reaching the edge of the wound on Saber's neck. Blood was slowly flowing out of this small opening, flowing onto Liu Mengchao's fingertips.

"You're in luck. saber。 ”

Liu Mengchao said with a chuckle, slowly closing his eyes.

Emiya Kiritsugu used Avalon to summon Saber, and turned Avalon into a conceptual treasure that was buried in the belly of his wife, Alice Phil. Originally, this treasure was supposed to have been in Alice Phil's body all along. Until Alice Phil became the Holy Grail. But......

Liu Mengchao smiled and stretched out his fingers, allowing a flapping butterfly to land on his fingertips.

Alice Phil was captured by Yan Feng Qili and Jian Tong Dirty Inkstone, the same. Avalon, who was originally buried in Alice Phil's body, naturally has a new whereabouts.

"Avalon only works when he's near Saber, he can heal all wounds and bring anyone back to life. This is your most powerful and powerful Phantasm. “

Liu Mengchao said softly, and the fingers standing on the butterfly slowly moved to the bottom of the jaw, and put it on Saber's neck.

I saw that the butterfly that was trembling with its wings, as if it had suddenly woken up, began to flap its wings, and the more golden powder it turned out to be scattered from the butterfly's body, I saw the wings slam out, and the butterfly flew up with the golden powder, and flew to the new target.

Saber's wounds.

"Go, Avalon, your master is here."

Liu Mengchao raised his head and said slowly.

In an instant, the butterfly that was originally hovering around Liu Mengchao's body suddenly accelerated as if it had found a home. It turned out that more and more butterflies fell from the sky on Saber's body, and landed on the scarred girl.

At first, it was just an insignificant golden point of light, but slowly it turned into a golden satin that covered Saber's body.

Liu Mengchao stood up directly, watching the golden light disappear in front of his eyes little by little, and all of them merged into Saber's body.

The girl's eyelashes fluttered.

It's a sign of waking up.

A smile also bloomed at the corner of Liu Mengchao's mouth. I saw him bend down and pick up the knight's sword that had fallen to the ground.

The Sword of Victory, a pact between King Arthur and her knights, who charged under her banner and whom the King brought her victory.

But......

Liu Mengchao carefully looked at the treasure in his hand that was originally covered by the Wind King's enchantment, and laughed disdainfully.

"It's a contract, but it's just a shackle."

As he spoke, a sword flower in one hand, the sword of the victory oath was held by Liu Mengchao with his backhand, clinging to his arm and placed behind him.

"Hmmm......"

Saber, who was on the verge of death, finally made her first sound in a coma, she wanted to open her eyes, but she was afraid to open her eyes.

Because of the Holy Grail...... The Almighty Holy Grail, no matter what you wish...... Britain will be destroyed, its knights will die, and its subjects will wail......

You can't change it, you can't change anything, even if it's a miracle, you can't change the ending that makes you miserable.

This world is ...... Already desperate......

Saber didn't dare to recall the world she had experienced in the Holy Grail, the hundred reincarnations, each time it ended exactly the same, every time she tried her best to change, every time she reached the end of the world without the slightest change, she was exhausted.

"Wake up."

Suddenly, a voice floated from far away, like the first rain after a long drought, falling on the parched mind. I just heard the voice in my ear to myself.

"The nightmare, it's over."

Saber snapped open his eyes and scanned his side.

The Sword of the Victory Oath had disappeared from her side, but she subconsciously curled her hand, but grasped something else.

Is that......

"Scabbard"

Saber looked at Avalon in his hand in a daze, and froze for a moment.

"All I need is a sword."

Saber once said this to Merlin.

"But I'll only give you the scabbard."

This is Liu Mengchao's answer.

He's going to end this nightmare, and the scabbard is just the beginning.
