Under the Root

"Feel sorry."

"what?"

"I'm sorry, I did something that disgusted you. I'm afraid this kind of victory achieved by sacrificing others will make you very angry. Even if it is a destined sacrifice." Li Lin expressed his sincere apology to Skaha.

"Where's Irisviel?"

"Three minutes ago, I left."

"Is there any pain?"

"No, I have given up on further plans."

"Li Lin, you bastard!"

With a bang, Skaha punched Li Lin hard with his right hand.

"Hmm..." Even though he controlled his strength, Li Lin still felt a twinge of pain.

He took two steps back, and managed to stand still.

"Are you done venting, Scathach?"

"No." Scathach turned his head, trying not to show concern on his face.

"Ah, that's really too bad, it's not the time to lose consciousness yet." Li Lin smiled wryly, "Can we settle this matter after the business is done."

Scathach looked at the grass behind him, but didn't speak.

Where did the sage who could see through everything go? Li Lin sighed as he looked at Skaha who was making a fuss about him, and then stepped forward and handed the Holy Grail to her.

"Here. If you feel sorry, don't let this down."

Looking at Li Lin who smiled at him, Scatha has never been so troubled by the sharpness of his eyes.

It would be nice if you scolded me, Li Lin.Think so.Under Li Lin's gaze, Skaha nodded unobtrusively.

----

Liudong Temple, the Great Hollow.

Still familiar land, still familiar magic power, still familiar undead.

Li Lin and Skaha walked down the stone steps and came to the center of the big hollow, where the nameless altar was drawn.

"By the way, where's Aige?" Beside the altar, Li Lin suddenly thought that Aige hadn't appeared in front of him just now. It stands to reason that she should have hung his arm in front of the house and asked him to sign a large contract. Heap unequal agreement is.

"She's sleeping in the lounge. I'm afraid she's been a little too tired in the past few days." According to the tacit agreement with Shatiao Aige, Skaha is covering for Aige.

Of course she wouldn't say that Shajo Aige had been waiting in front of Irisviel's house, ready to rush in whenever the situation changed.After confirming the news of Irisviel's death, she went to harvest the heroic spirits with a smile on her face.

After all, it is the common principle of the two of them to hide Li Lin about the love song.

"Oh, that's right." Li Lin nodded, not delving into such trivial matters.He picked up the golden cup in his hand and placed it in the center of the altar.

"Go ahead, Scathach."

Hearing Li Lin's order, Scathach stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and then put her hands on the edge of the altar.

"" Nine nights hanging on the wind-swaying tree,

Wounded with spears; I was sacrificed to Scathach,

Sacrifice yourself to yourself, on the big tree that no one knows!

No bread to satisfy hunger, no drop of water to quench thirst.

I looked down and picked up the Runas text,

Shouting while picking it up, it fell from the tree. "

The spell from the Age of Gods was chanted from Scathach's mouth, which was obviously a simple narrative without any magical power.But Li Lin felt the taste of "God" in it.

"Odin, no, it's Scathach's true self." Li Lin confirmed in his heart.

Visible to the naked eye, black mud oozed out of the golden chalice.Although there is not much stock, there is no doubt that the Holy Grail, which originally required the sacrifice of several heroic souls to open, was simply opened by Scathach at this moment.

"In this way, the endless source of magic power is completed. The last obstacle to the development of the Demon Realm—the Kingdom of Shadows has disappeared. This war is our victory, Scathach."

At this moment, Li Lin's heart that has been hanging since the Holy Grail War is finally at ease. With this, at least there is no problem with the safety of himself and Aige.

However, Skaha squatted on the ground and remained silent.

"What's the matter, have you been affected by the black mud?" Li Lin put his hands on Skaha's shoulders and asked with concern.

"Skaha?"

Amid Li Lin's questioning, Schaka stood up slowly, and then suddenly hugged Li Lin tightly, refusing to let go.

"Skaha?" Li Lin, who was still in doubt, asked for the second time, "Are you okay?"

"Li Lin, am I beautiful?" Without answering Li Lin's question, Skaha suddenly raised his head and asked charmingly.

There is no doubt that Scathach is extremely beautiful. This is the beauty that has been accumulated over the years. After thousands of years, Scathach has another kind of beauty that is different from love songs.

Therefore, Li Lin nodded honestly, "You are beautiful. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Scathach showed a bright smile, "In this case, I can rest assured."
