Chapter 262: Star Sacred Sword Esther
Even hundreds of thousands of troops will be swallowed up in the face of the darkness he has unleashed, and even the light of the son of the sun god will only be exploded, and Saber has such confidence in his holy sword.
But in the face of another weapon of the same specification that should not exist, Saber's grim face still showed a look of disbelief.
At this point, there was no need to assert whether it was true or false, and in order not to be cut in half by the swift silver light, Saber had to interrupt the liberation of the treasure in advance, and continued to fall by recoil.
But even so, the silver streamer directly tore through the darkness, dragging a long tail like a meteor from the sky, and in an instant, it crossed the empty void, and the sharp edge that watched everything caught up with Saber, who had already begun to dodge, and was ready to hit her chest without mistake!
- What!
The terrifying power and swift speed of her didn't have time to react, and the mighty scarlet armor was slashed to pieces in an instant, leaving the dark dress inside soaked with traces of blood.
Even if the internal organs were cut open, while Avalon was still in her body, the strong dragon's blood could support the body to continue fighting.
Biting her lower lip in extreme displeasure, Artoria's face also revealed a cold and cruel smile, mixed with tyrannical information constantly rolling in her eyes.
"What is the name of that sword?"
What caught Saber's eye was a gorgeous holy sword, just like the posture of the magic sword in her hand before it was reversed, it was a weapon that could only be forged from the planet and used against enemies of the same level.
"Esther...... Demon Slayer, Esther. ”
Roland caressed the blade of the sword, which was so brilliant that even the darkness around it could not hide it, feeling the trembling sound of joy from the joy of a single blow, or the dissatisfaction of being left out in the cold.
It seems like a long time ago to use Esther like this last time, and it seems that it is still time to teach Beo a lesson.
It was only the kind of battle that was mixed with banter and venting that Esther would shine again in Roland's hands.
But there is no way to do it, after reaching the extreme of the individual, even Esther, who is not good at words, feels the powerlessness brought about by the power gap.
As a pactual, she is not the simple doppelganger in the original book, but a different existence derived from the ontology after meeting a miracle such as the Key of All Souls, although the power has not been completely unsealed, but as long as the user can bear it, it is enough to cleanse the surface.
The upper limit of her power is feared even by the elven kings who are equal to the planet, breaking all spells, devouring all curses, and even the rules can be analyzed, focusing on a real damage.
But for the current Roland, although Esther has not yet withdrawn the version, but in many cases, it is much more convenient to solve it with his own strength, and the girl herself seems to know this, and her desire to fight has also decreased a lot, except that he still has to stay in Roland's hands, if he doesn't take the initiative to order, Esther won't ask for a battle by himself.
Although Esther, who is only a holy sword, has far more potential than this, Roland, who has never been detached himself, originally planned to find a way to help Esther in other worlds.
However, after officially integrating the Dark Shadow Kingdom into Shizuki, he had a bolder idea.
"Esther...... It sounds like a goblin's name, but it's really unique enough for the Star Sacred Sword. ”
"Star Sword?"
Saber's statement made Roland slightly stunned, but he quickly understood the meaning.
This is not a misunderstanding by chance, Esther is the real Star Sacred Sword, its essence is the same as the Elven King, created by the will of the chaotic world, and unlike the Elven Kings who rule the rules of the world, her nature is born as an elven weapon.
Even its own effect is very similar to Saber's Sword of Oath Victory, as long as the output of mana is enough, it can cut anything.
Therefore, such a title cannot be wrong, but it also needs to be verified, if it can really afford this name, then the future that Esther has may be able to surprise itself......
- More experiments are needed.
A strange color appeared in Roland's eyes, and he pointed the tip of his sword at Saber obliquely, and gently picked it, the corners of his mouth slightly cracked a hint of provocative arc.
This action made Saber's face suddenly cold, and a huge amount of magic power surged through her body, like a dam bursting over her limbs, raising all her attributes to exaggerated levels.
Without dwelling on the origin of the holy sword in Roland's hand, Saber's body turned into a scarlet lightning bolt and charged straight towards the figure in the sky.
In the earth-shattering roar, the earth suddenly cracked, the dust was filled, and with the trampling of Saber, the shock wave visible to the naked eye radiated all around, brutally dispersing the atmosphere, and the overwhelming dust turned into a gray wave followed, like thousands of troops following the king, surrounding the vague dark red figure, shooting towards Roland!
In an instant, Saber's figure came to Roland, raised the magic sword in his hand high, and slashed down with the overwhelming force of Tarzan!
However, although her explosive speed has surpassed the vision of ordinary servants, Roland can clearly capture her every move.
Even before Saber cut down the magic sword, he had already set up the holy sword in his hand, just waiting for Saber to crash into it stupidly.
Then, the crisp sound of metal resonating suddenly erupted, and the sharp sound waves pierced straight into the surroundings like a real blade, and the solid walls seemed to be bombarded, and the fine cracks quickly rippled out.
"Bang ——!"
Obviously, she was the one standing above to exert pressure, but when Roland's gradually increasing majestic power burst out, and a loud sound like Hong Zhong that was enough to make people deaf in both ears, her downward slashing magic sword was slashing towards her body from the bottom to the top at a firm speed!
In the face of such a situation, even Saber, who had already abandoned those superfluous emotions, could no longer maintain her calm, and she found that even if she had exhausted her hands with all her strength, she still could not resist this unreasonable force.
She had also seen a unique existence like her sister, but she still had shortcomings, but the man in front of her was almost perfect.
Why did he participate in this Holy Grail War? What is the so-called truth?
What does the other person want from themselves?
All kinds of doubts lingered in the mind of the dark knight king, but no matter how extreme her thinking became, instinct was always better than reason in such moments.
Saber's complicated thoughts didn't affect her next move.
“Excalibur Morgan!”
She once again freed the magic sword's true name with all her might, not caring that at such a distance, the release of the magic sword would also cause damage to her.
As long as she doesn't die, can still move, and shows her strength to the maximum, this result is enough for her!
A deafening roar rippled through the void, and the dark aurora fused with the silver-white sword at zero distance like pieces of iron smelted together in a forge.
In this close proximity, Saber could clearly feel the aggression that Esther exuded.
Miscalculated!
In her consideration, the same Star Sacred Sword, even if the other party was not born to protect it, but since it is based on the planet, it should have the same seal as her Holy Sword to prevent abuse.
That's why she didn't hesitate to choose this dangerous self-sacrificing technique.
But now, she can only continue to trust that with the almost infinite supply of magic power, the power released by this magic sword can become her survival.
The darkness erupting from the sword body was cut off by the strongest silver light, causing the overflowing darkness to lap on Saber's armor like a river, and the breath similar to that of the demon dragon made Saber feel as if he had returned to the battlefield where the fate of the archipelago was decided.
But this time, she faced an enemy far more powerful than the demon dragon Vantigen.
The reversed magic sword was even higher than Karna in the level of the Noble Phantasm after being liberated with all its might, and Saber's recondensed sturdy armor was ignored by the torrent of darkness, bursting out like explosives in terrifying waves, piercing straight into her lungs, burning her.
The air also poured into her lungs, and with the heat that pierced the bone marrow, she had to endure the pain of piercing her heart every time she breathed, and the only thing to be thankful for was that it seemed that because of the direct severance of contact by Roland's holy sword, the power of the escaping magic light was not as terrifying as the tip of the sword in her hand directly released.
Despite the devastating effects of each impact, the legend of Avalon is also perfectly embodied at this moment, and as long as there is magic, it can pull her back from the line of death.
Although it was rationally best to free Avalon to avoid this blow, it also meant that she had completely given up on the possibility of victory, and if she didn't even have the slightest bit of confidence in whether her strongest blow could hurt Roland, she would be a warrior in vain.
With the thick smell of blood in her mouth as a pleasure, Artoria's desire to fight intensified.
Eventually, flying under the dark night sky, Saber rubbed against it again in the roar of the atmosphere, and finally turned into a scorching meteorite wrapped in a fire-colored coat and smashed into the tall building next to him.
The raging atmosphere destroyed all the glass of nearby buildings, and a heat wave swept through the steel jungle, as if it were about to tear the night apart.
"Haaa......"
In Roland's calm gaze, in the frenzied flames and air currents, Saber stained with a striking bright red color also reappeared.
She clutched her abdomen, gasping for breath, but bright red still spilled from between her fingers, leaving a blinding trail of blood on the black gown.
Artoria looked up, holding on to her blood-stained sword, and climbed up from the hole.
Her dark golden pupils had already lit up with a substantial light flower, which was a sign that the dragon factor in her body had overflowed from her body after being extremely squeezed.
But even with such a strong physique and Avalon's blessings, her wounds still haven't healed, so you can imagine how bad Saber's injuries are.
If at the last moment, if it weren't for her intuition that worked again in such a life-and-death crisis, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a chance to breathe in pain.
Dodging this deadly attack, Saber's heart was not half relaxed, but heavier.
The blow just now was already the best answer to all her questions.
The existence of such an attack can be used lightly, and all combinations of the Holy Grail War can definitely be easily solved, and if the other party is interested in the Holy Grail, even the Gamo who doesn't know what he is calculating will only have nothing to do.
"What is the so-called truth?"
Saber narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"Convinced so quickly? Now your bottom line is pretty low,"
Roland smiled and said, "But if you want to question me, you have to accompany me to complete the experiment first." ”
Because of the escape of the dark aurora, the surrounding magic has become so thick that it is like a curse issued by an ominous ghost.
He stretched out his hand and gently picked it up, as if he didn't understand Saber's words of wanting a truce, carefully studying the essence of it.
"Then ...... Just as you wish,"
Looking down at her red-dyed dress, Saber's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she took her hand away from the wound and re-grasped the magic sword in her hand.
Such an injury would have been a heavy blow even on Heroic Spirit, but for her, it was to the extent that she could survive with only willpower.
Without any confusion, he followed the ferocity in his heart, and let the surging magic power pour into the magic sword with his hands infused with killing intent, and at the same time, the blade of the sword pointed straight at Roland.
"No matter how many times you come, I will accompany you to the end before this body collapses!"
"Ah...... It doesn't have to be that troublesome, because I'm going to get serious. ”
At the same time as Roland's words fell, a sudden thunderclap sounded, directly tearing apart the surrounding environment that had been turned into a shadow!
Roland's figure suddenly burst out, and in just a thought, he appeared in front of Saber.
Saber's body almost seemed to be rehearsed, and he subconsciously put the magic sword on the side of his head with the inertia of raising the blade, so as to block the sword blade that was pressed down.
Even the intuition like Fukushi couldn't keep up with the trajectory of Roland's sword, and when the power that was more terrifying than the previous strange force was pressed down, Saber could already see the magic sword in his hand hanging upside down and slashing his neck, the beautiful and deadly luster.
But worse than that was the cold touch that had crept up from the back before.
It was a reminder and urging from the subconscious, as if a higher will was manipulating her body, wanting her to give up resistance and find another opportunity.
She was familiar with this feeling, and she had also felt this grandiose will when she decided to become a Heroic Spirit.
It stands to reason that as a being who has signed a contract with it and holds the holy sword of protection, Saber should not disobey the will of the other party.
It's just that now that even that naïve self has been abandoned, and she has turned into an evil ghost born of obsession and desire, does she still need to care about the thoughts of the guy who only hides in the shadows and operates everything in a high-flying way?
Saber's eyes were cold, and his lovely face was full of violent hatred.
Neither reason nor instinct let her resist, then, she would prefer to do the opposite.
Now that the decision has been decided, there is no need to worry about any more, and Artoria mercilessly let the magic turn into dark ripples, and once again raise it like a torch on the sword.
Next, before Roland's sword light slashes him in two, his badly injured body will be swallowed up by the raging darkness.
- It should have been like this.
But the next moment, a strange scene came directly into Saber's eyes.
Before the primordial mana blooming from her magic sword could transform into the all-engulfing darkness, it imprinted a dazzling light and shadow in the void, and followed the tangible trajectory and poured into the holy sword called Esther!
"Huh?"
Seeing the strange sight of the smooth divine sword already enveloped in the irregularly moving dark mana, even forming a huge black vortex, Saber's heart set off an uproar.
How is this possible......
She raised her head abruptly and stared blankly at Roland.
Even if it's an almighty intuition, it's completely down at this moment.,No matter what the situation is.,Saber's ability to instantly recognize what is the most suitable action for himself has been paralyzed.,You can see the changes in front of you.,How nihilistic it is.。
"Ling...... Who the hell is it? ”
Saber stared at Roland with disbelief, and his cold tone rarely restored the girl's ignorance.
The Sword of Oath Victory is a military uniform forged by the will of the planet in the inner sea of the planet in order to fight against foreign enemies, but it is not created out of thin air, but sublimated by the material that already exists on the planet.
Just as the fairy in the lake has different sides, so since there is a miracle light that can reverse the predicament, its opposite side naturally has its own nature.
It was the primordial magic that lurked in the island of Britain, an artifact created to symbolize the last afterglow of an era and the struggle to give everything, and it symbolized the resentment and struggle before the death of the gods, so it could not be replicated.
Because, for King Arthur, the choice of the holy spear or the holy sword is a key factor that directly affects the direction of the world and occupies the main branches of countless parallel worlds.
Needless to say, the most obvious example is Saber's sister Morgan, who was the one who was destined to become king, but in the end, the holy sword still chose King Arthur.
Without a choice, she can only become the vicious witch in history.
But what if, there are two swords of the stars?
"It worked......"
Roland looked at Esther, who perfectly fused the dark mana with the sacred steel in his hand, and nodded imperceptibly.
Sure enough, Esther's magic is much more than that, as she has both the Holy Sword and the Magic Sword, as evidenced by the fact that she can devour curses, but also return them to the user when they reach their limit.
The feeling that Saber felt when she saw the blackened Saber before may be the result of the two being attracted to each other.
Esther has the possibility of becoming a holy sword that is not forged as the will of the planet, but in the true sense, a holy sword of the star that can transcend and even destroy the world.
And, for his own plans, this possibility of Esther would even be a crucial step.
Roland looked up, looked at Artoria, who was glaring at him, and spoke softly.
"This experiment has been successful, then, before telling the truth, as compensation for your cooperation, I will reward you with another one, if you want, not only your country, but everything you care about, you can get eternal happiness......
"So, King Arthur,—— are you going to make a deal with me?"
