Abnormal Moon

Okita Souji, with a resolute expression, stood in front of Roy, for as a Master's Servant, he had to die before his Master.

However, at this moment, Taigong Wang, disguised as Huang Feihu, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He abandoned the corrupted Berserker and appeared in front of the three in the blink of an eye.

With a wave of his hand, a magic array covered with ancient characters unfolded in front of the four of them.

The magic circle contained an ancient, vast, and timeless aura, like a reef in the ocean waves, which withstood the onslaught of the torrent of light with difficulty.

"Phew, I've been working on this magic circle for quite a while now, I'm really clever!"

Taigong Wang's laughter remained calm and wise, as if he could handle even the darkened Saber's Noble Phantasm with ease.

"However, my magical power is no match for the Lesser Grail she possesses, so if I want to escape, I must make a decision before my magical power is depleted to a certain extent—so, Master, do you need to change your answer to me?"

He can either move them away.

After Saber turns evil, she'll definitely come after me again.

No, what's more troublesome is that she might go directly to the location of the Greater Grail and take it all for herself, or she might go on a killing spree, turning the entire Fuyuki City upside down and slaughtering more than 200,000 people.

But at least before that, there's still a chance to catch our breath and figure out another way to deal with her.

Either they all die here, and only Taigong Wang survives to carry on Roy's legacy.

The black aurora roared incessantly outside the magic circle, like a crocodile eyeing its prey, wanting to crush everything with its fangs of light.

The corrupted Saber spared no expense in channeling her magical power, pouring the Lesser Grail's magic into the demonic sword without regard for cost, causing the torrent of dark aurora to expand even further.

The magic array formed by the mysterious magic of the East is becoming increasingly precarious under the surging torrent of light.

"It's been a long time since I've come back, and to meet again in this kind of setting is quite unexpected."

Amidst the roar of light, a figure silently approached.

The person had a slender and tall figure, her graceful body wrapped in a simple T-shirt and trousers, and her long, blood-red hair danced wildly and domineeringly in the wind.

"!"

The corrupted Saber suddenly sensed a strong sense of crisis, turned her head, and her gaze accurately caught the red-haired figure.

The person stretched out their hand, and magical light gathered in their palm.

The concise and pure magic cannon spell instantly stacked four layers.

"Boom——!!"

The domineering light transformed into artillery fire, surging forth with the destructive force of lasers.

Without hesitation, the corrupted Saber abandoned her plan to continue bombarding the enemy and instead flipped over and jumped to the side and back.

“Buzz buzz buzz—!”

The red-haired woman waved her hand again.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen magic cannon spells appeared in parallel, all stacked to their maximum limit. For a moment, half of the sky was filled with complex parallel geometric patterns.

“Arthur!”

The corrupted Berserker pounced on the corrupted Saber like a mad dog.

The corrupted Saber's face darkened, and she kicked out, sending the corrupted Berserker flying.

At the same time, the red-haired woman flicked her finger, and a dozen forbidden-level magic cannons were fired in a row.

The corrupted Saber instinctively sensed something was wrong. Without hesitation, she lowered her body and sprinted like a cheetah, weaving through the barrage of magic cannon fire to retreat swiftly into the distance.

"Uaaaa!!"

On the other side, the corrupted Berserker lay dazed on the ground, seemingly unable to understand why the King had kicked him.

Suddenly, the magic cannons shone brightly, and the two cannons made a right-angle turn without warning. The corrupted Berserker was caught off guard and was hit head-on by several magic cannon shots.

The armor and figure slowly dissipated like spring snow in the rain.

Just one strike later.

The corrupted Berserker was no longer there.

"To simply amplify the destructive power of a magic cannon spell to the level of a forbidden spell, and this infinite magic power..."

The corrupted Saber watched the corrupted Berserker disappear without a trace of emotion on her face; she only looked at the flamboyant red-haired woman with a wary expression.

“Unlike me, who borrows magic from the Holy Grail since childhood, you use your own magic completely. I am merely vast, while you are truly infinite… Could you be a modern-day magician?”

"You're right. My magic is borrowed from my counterparts on other timelines, and the amount of effort I put in is fundamentally different from yours."

The flamboyant red-haired woman lightly tossed her long hair behind her ear, a provocative smile appearing on her face.

"If you want to continue fighting, how about letting me, ten years from now, or even a hundred years from now, be your opponent?"

"The Mage of Ending?"

The corrupted Saber muttered to herself.

In just a few words, she had already figured out the magic this woman possessed.

But she didn't give up; instead, she said coldly.

"According to the rules, beings of your level shouldn't be interfering in the affairs of this world, right?"

Chapter 69 The old bug dies

"Of course I know about this."

Aozaki Aoko smiled dismissively.

"How do you know whether what I'm doing right now complies with the rules?"

……What does it mean?

The corrupted Saber narrowed her eyes.

Her mind raced, but she couldn't quite grasp the deeper meaning behind her words.

"Leave now, King Arthur."

Aozaki Aoko did not explain her actions, but instead looked sternly at the corrupted Saber.

"This is a one-time offer. I won't do anything. If you want something done, then wait until next time!"

"...Since the mage has said so, then I shall take my leave."

The corrupted Saber remained silent for a while, then frowned as if she couldn't see Aoko clearly before finally putting away her armor and disarming herself.

"I hope you can keep your promise and not do it again next time."

Before she finished speaking, her figure vanished.

The power of magic is unpredictable and mysterious, and even though she possesses the Lesser Grail, she is extremely wary of it.

Even though this mage was still young, she was unwilling to provoke him lightly.

"Phew, it's great that she was able to retreat!"

Aozaki Aoko breathed a sigh of relief.

"If a fight really breaks out, that would be a real problem!"

It's true that magic is very powerful.

But a magician's power is built up over time.

Aoko has only had magic for a little over twenty years. Admittedly, she can summon her mature self from the future, but the mess she creates will require her to sort things out herself, and she won't be able to rest for a long time.

For Aozaki Aoko, this was an unbearable price to pay.

"Qingzi, you came back just in time..."

Roy walked up, his steps a little unsteady.

It couldn't have been more timely. Thanks to her timely return, Taigong Wang's true identity was not exposed.

On the other side, seeing that the situation had been resolved and everyone was out of danger, Taigong disappeared without a word, giving no one a chance to contact him.

"What will you do if I don't come back?!"

Aozaki Aoko turned around, a kind smile on her face.

Then he slapped Roy on the shoulder.

Roy strained so hard that he could feel his shoulder blades groaning.

"Stop! The bones are going to break! Stop it now..."

"It's good that you still feel pain."

Seeing Roy drenched in sweat, Aozaki Aoko snorted coldly.

She seemed very dissatisfied.

Roy couldn't quite understand what she was dissatisfied with. Participating in the Holy Grail War was the best decision he had made long ago, and Aoko knew that too.

And to be honest, Roy and Aoko's relationship wasn't that good.

In the past three years, he has met Qingzi a handful of times, and the total time they spent together did not exceed one hour.
