In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Chapter 222 I, Joseph Joestar, hate people who impersonate others!

"Sola, Sola!"

In the ruins on the hotel rooftop, Kenneth, arriving late, almost pleaded for his fiancée's name, praying that the woman lying motionless on the ground was not dead.

Fortunately, after his cries, Sora gradually regained consciousness, looked at the two men in front of her, and pleaded in the same way:

"Help me, Lancer, Kenneth, help me!"

Kenneth felt a pang of heartache when he saw his fiancée's bloodied and mangled right arm.

But when he heard his fiancée call him 'Lancer' first, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

why?

Sora, why is this happening?

"Then, let's talk about the terms first."

Kira Yoshikage grabbed Sora's hair without any mercy, and calmly spoke amidst the latter's screams:

"Mr. Kenneth, what price are you willing to pay to save your fiancée's life?"

"everything!"

Kenneth clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying:

"I'll give anything to spare her!"

"Then, throw the box you're holding over here first."

Yoshikage Kira pointed to the silver box he was carrying and said, "..."

"Remember to disconnect from the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid first."

Kenneth's hand trembled, and his pupils contracted slightly. How did he know?

He originally intended to use the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid for a sneak attack, not to ambush the enemy, but to protect Sora.

With the protection of Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it cannot break through its defense in a short time.

After all, it was made by him personally, and even among the collections of the twelve families that have produced monarchs and other prestigious families that can rival them, it is qualified to be recognized as a symbol of the family line, the supreme formal attire belonging to the El-Melloi family!

"it is good!"

Kenneth took a deep breath, placed the box containing the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid on the ground, and magical markings appeared on his arm one after another.

He felt a pang of regret; why hadn't he left the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid for Sora?

If they had Moon Spirit Elixir, perhaps Sora wouldn't have been captured by the enemy so easily!

Kenneth was filled with self-blame and guilt, forgetting that he had already set up 24 layers of barriers around the hotel based on the Three Foundations Magic Furnace, and even some of the corridors had been transformed into otherworldly realms.

How could the outcome be changed simply because of the protection of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, when even an enemy of this caliber cannot be stopped?

boom!

The box was thrown in front of Yoshikage Kira, rolled twice, and almost fell off the collapsing floor of the room.

"Can we let Sora go now?"

Kenneth endured the tearing pain of the magic mark as he stood up from the ground, his body twitching slightly from the pain.

Unlike magic circuits, magic markings are mystical markings that a magician spends a lifetime honing and solidifying.

It can also be said that it is the magical legacy that makes a magician's family lineage a magician's family lineage. In a sense, for a magician's family lineage, the magic crest is the true master, and each generation of magicians is merely a vessel to pass it on.

When a magic crest is implanted, every magician suffers pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, but the benefit is that they can grow into a powerful magician faster than others by relying on the inheritance carried in the magic crest.

It is for this reason.

Kenneth has always firmly believed that in the world of magic, one's background largely determines one's merits and demerits.

After all, how can your life's work be compared to my magic markings that have been passed down for generations, even dozens of generations, for thousands of years?

As a Mystic Code directly manipulated by the magician's own Magic Crest, the Moon Spirit Essence is inherently linked to their Magic Crest. The connection itself went relatively smoothly, but severing the connection was equivalent to forcibly cutting off a portion of the Magic Crest, a process that was extremely painful.

Despite this, Kenneth still chose to give up the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid without hesitation!

Just like he said before—

He would stop at nothing to save his fiancée's life!

"Don't rush, I have one more condition."

Yoshikage Kira stared at him quietly, his tone perfectly calm, "Withdraw from this Holy Grail War and eliminate Lancer."

"it is good!"

Kenneth answered without hesitation.

Unlike other Masters in this Holy Grail War.

Kenneth participated in the Holy Grail War not for any necessary or urgent reason, but simply to add anecdotes that would be considered "victories" to his own experience. He had no desires that could only be fulfilled by the Holy Grail, nor did he have any urgent reason to win.

Compared to Sora, the Holy Grail is utterly irrelevant!

"Wait! Master!"

Lancer's expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke up to stop her.

"Are you going to disobey me, Lancer!"

Kenneth gritted his teeth and glared at Lancer, slowly raising his right hand.

He also has a Command Seal that could command Lancer to commit suicide.

Lnacer knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

“Master! To be loyal to one’s lord is a knight’s duty, even to the point of death! But before I give my life, I must ensure the safety of you and my mistress. At least before I die, I must make them sign a self-imposed pledge that they cannot disobey!”

Lancer's sharp gaze swept over the two people opposite him, his eyes filled with extreme vigilance:

"Excuse my rudeness, Master! But I simply cannot trust such a despicable scoundrel who has no chivalry whatsoever!"

While their knights were away on campaign, these men would seize the opportunity to ambush their lord's wife, using the vulnerable woman to threaten the lord into killing the knight who served him. To Lancer, a knight, there were simply no more despicable people in the world!

If he is really killed, who can guarantee that they won't continue to harm the Master who has lost his protection?

"can."

Yoshikage Kira smiled and nodded. "I can sign it now."

The so-called Self Geas Scroll is a magical contract used by magicians when making an agreement that cannot be broken. It is the most absolute guarantee made to prevent breach of contract.

Its essence is to use the function of its own magic mark to impose the curse of 'Geas' on the caster, and in principle, its effect cannot be removed by any means.

Once a magician signs the certificate and fulfills the conditions of the oath to make the certificate effective, even if the oath-taker has died, as long as the magic mark is passed down to the next generation, even the soul after death will be bound.

"Lancer, you..."

Kenneth slowly lowered his raised arm, looking at the servant with a somewhat incredulous expression.

Have you accepted your death so calmly?

Kira Yoshikage grabbed Sora's hair and lifted her up, using her screams to draw the increasingly suggestive gazes of master and servant. He asked casually:

Do you have any parchment scrolls?

"In the closet in the room."

Kenneth glared at the man tormenting his fiancée with hatred.

Fortunately, contracts between magicians are usually carried on parchment scrolls, so most magicians carry them with them at all times.

As long as one can actually sign a self-mandatory certificate

"Fujino."

Kira Yoshikage called out, and the purple-haired girl immediately turned around and walked towards the twisted and damaged wooden cabinet ruins in the room, where she found a still intact parchment scroll.

Under the watchful eyes of Kenneth and Lancer, Yoshikage Kira casually wrote the oath on the parchment, signed it with his psionic powers, and tossed the written document to Kenneth.

"Binding Spell - Subject: Joseph Joestar. By the Joestar family crest, and provided that the following conditions are met, the contract will become the subject of the Discipline Binding Spell, without exception."

Oath: Joseph Joestar and his allies shall never have any intention or action to kill or harm Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald and Sora Nazele Sofiari.

Condition: The death of its follower, Lancer Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

Kenneth caught the parchment scroll that was tossed to him, and carefully scanned it from top to bottom, his hands trembling slightly.

In theory, once this contract is signed, Joseph Joestar will never be able to harm him!

Even if Joseph Joestar is a fake name, it doesn't matter. The contract only binds the two parties who signed it. No matter whose name he uses, as long as he signs it, it will definitely bind him accurately.

Therefore, signing this contract will guarantee Sora's safety.

but.

This means he has to hand over the Holy Grail, abandon the honor of the Archibald family, and Lancer...

Kenneth looked up at his servant, who must have already seen the contract as well.

“I don’t see any flaws in it, Master.”

Lancer frowned slightly, and only spoke after noticing Kenneth's gaze: "If you also think there are no problems, you can sign it directly."

Lancer.

Kenneth couldn't help but ask, "You really don't have any wishes?"

The Holy Grail War.

It is a war fought together by Masters and Servants. The victor can make a wish, whether it is a Servant or a Master.

Although this is not the truth, at least it appears to be the truth on the surface.

and so.

When Masters summon Servants, they will always ask them what their wishes are.

But the answer Kenneth got from Lancer was:

"I do not seek the Holy Grail."

Lancer reiterated the answer he had given Kenneth from the beginning, his expression remaining calm: "If I had to name a wish, it would be to serve a lord as a knight until the very end. Though the time was short, my wish has been truly fulfilled."

Kenneth silently signed his name on the contract, while Lancer remained calm.
