Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Thinking of this, Mordred couldn't help but be distracted. She felt mixed emotions when she saw that Archer was about to complete her father's holy sword.

"Want to use it yourself, Saber?"

After stabbing both swords into the chest of the kneeling Hercules, Shiomi saw what Mordred was thinking and asked.

"Who wants to use our father's things? They're fakes at that!" Saber loudly retorted insincerely.

“Really?” Xi Jian didn’t ask whether it was true or not. He waved his hand and said, “If you don’t want to be affected by the holy sword, retreat quickly.”

The time was ripe. Archer grasped the projected holy sword with both hands, walked forward slowly, and raised the holy sword high behind his shoulder with all his strength.

"This is the glory left by the king of the past. Take it, Hercules! Excalibur Image!"

The fierce and quiet light illuminates this desolate world of swords.

Mordred couldn't help but hold his breath, thinking back to the days when he had watched this glorious round table, and thinking back to why he had rebelled.

The honor of being a knight that he had never abandoned.

And...his own wish in this Holy Grail War.

In the galloping golden light, the Berserker let out an unprecedented roar.

Even if it was just a projection, even if it was just an illusion, this power gave Hercules unprecedented pressure.

Perhaps he had already realized instinctively that if he endured this again, his resurrection would be completely over.

So, just after his resurrection and restoration of his ability to move, Hercules couldn't wait to rush out, charging and roaring towards where everyone was.

"Don't even think about it!"

Shiomi pointed the dagger in his hand at Hercules, and the ground full of sword blades suddenly swept up with a strong wind, carrying countless swords to give the great hero a baptism of steel.

It stood firm in the fierce wind, and slammed away all the swords and knives that were coming towards it.

What was waiting for him was a weapon that blocked out the sky and the sun.

Under Archer's will, countless swords flew towards Berserker with the momentum of a rainstorm.

The berserker swung the giant axe and spun his body, turning into an impenetrable fortress. All weapons were unable to break through the final defense.

After experiencing eleven deaths, Hercules was already at the end of his strength, but it was also the moment when all his abilities were squeezed to the extreme.

What awaits this great hero is Morgan's final blow.

"This is the end, great hero of Greece, die with glory. 'Utopia that can no longer be reached'!"

The sky was filled with auroras, flashing dark ripples, and from within those ripples, blue magic spears fell one after another.

The blinding light and the gust of wind that made it impossible to stand.

The inherent barrier "Infinite Sword System" gradually turned into a white light in everyone's sight.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in front of the Einzbern castle, and Hercules knelt on the broken ice in the pit.

The blood flowed out, staining the colorless ice.

The huge body gradually shrank back to half its original size after the rampage, emitting a gray color and unable to move.

"In case……"

As if in response to Shiomi's cautious final magic, the eyes of the berserker who was about to be buried lit up again.

He roared and ran across the ice, reaching out his hand to the nearest Shiomi.

But the hand stopped just a few centimeters away from Shiomi's nose and could not get any closer.

The solid ice that grew like a living thing wrapped around Hercules' body.

Hercules, who continued to fight with the ability of battle continuation, no longer had the strength he had before. His huge body was bound by the ice and turned into blue particles and dissipated, retreating from the Holy Grail War.

Shiomi let out a long sigh, but his legs went weak as he felt exhausted from the huge consumption of magic power by himself and Morgan.

"Thank you for your hard work, my husband."

This time, he was hugged by Morgan.

"You don't look tired at all." Xi Jian stood firm but did not struggle.

"Because the magic power you give me takes priority."

Morgan's eyes were filled with a faint smile, and she raised the corners of her lips and said.

Chapter 47: Beryl's Death

In the forest, Beryl Gart was trying his best to escape from the Einzbern Forest.

He didn't expect that all the Masters of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War were not easy to deal with.

Perseus, the Servant of Shinji Matou, and Hercules, the Servant of the Einzbern android who was attacked and controlled.

As well as himself and Hassan Sabbah who was lurking in the dark.

It seemed like a sure kill, but suddenly a third party showed up and not only easily killed Assassin as a magician, but also killed Hercules who was almost invincible.

"There's even this thing called an inherent barrier. The Servants are really a group of hard to guess." Beryl walked through the forest carefully while observing it.

Most of the Einzbern androids have died, leaving only their function as the Lesser Holy Grail.

Therefore, the forest barrier also fell into silence.

But Beryl thought it had nothing to do with him.

He just happened to get the information about the Fuyuki Holy Grail War and sneaked in to have some fun.

That's why I chose Assassin, who is most suitable for killing.

Killing people in the name of the Holy Grail War is much more satisfying than taking on commissions from the underworld.

You can also watch the Servants devour human souls.

Especially when he broke the artificial man's fingers one by one, Beryl even heard beautiful music that could not be made by humans.

Anyway, Assassin is dead, and the Holy Grail War has nothing to do with him anymore.

Should I take shelter in the Cathedral Church, or just leave Fuyuki?

Or, while the Holy Grail War is still going on, he could disguise himself as another Master and kill a few people.

Beryl still had several selected targets that he hadn't had time to kill.

"Why not go back to the city and look for—"

Beryl was talking to himself and laughing when he suddenly heard a cold voice coming through the air.

He dodged in a hurry, and three black keys were stuck in the tree trunk.

"Where are you going, Master Assassin?" a beautiful female voice sounded.

Beryl looked over and saw a woman in nun's clothes standing on the branch of a big tree, holding the black key in her other hand that she had not thrown away.

"Oh, isn't this the supervisor of the Holy Church? I was planning to take refuge in the church—" Beryl said with a smile, not nervous at all, "A Servant War broke out in the Einzbern Castle ahead, and my Assassin was defeated."

"Oh?" Xiyer was unmoved.

"The trap you designed failed, so you have to retreat, serial killer." Another voice sounded.

Shiomi walked out from behind another tree behind Beryl.

"You are--" Beryl recognized Xijian and felt something was wrong.

"Sister Hierer, let me handle this." Xijian slowly walked towards Beryl, "I should be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task."

"Please." Xiyer did not move.

Beryl's expression changed, but he prepared a murderous magic in his hand, ready to attack Shiomi: "Hey, hey, hey, is this how the Holy Church treats eliminated Masters?"

"From the moment you ordered Assassin to slaughter ordinary people in Fuyuki City and devour their souls, you have violated the rules of the Holy Grail War and must be conquered by other Masters and Servants." Shiomi said as they walked.

Lowering his head slightly, Beryl's glasses reflected white light.

"I didn't expect a magus would care about the lives of ordinary people. If that's the case—"

As he spoke, his tone suddenly became more serious, and a curse magic that could kill a person was launched.

At this distance, Beryl has never missed.

It should be like this -

The magic hit Shiomi easily, but the curse began to take effect on Beryl Gat.

"what?"

As if unable to comprehend what was happening, he saw those curses were several times more powerful than those he had used, devouring his entire body.

"This magic is really suitable for assassination. No wonder you are the master of Assassin." Shiomi looked indifferently at Beryl who fell powerlessly.

This half-blood son of a witch and a human is no longer able to speak.

He knew better than anyone how terrible his curse was, and could only look at Shiomi in fear and confusion, not knowing what went wrong.

The sixth of the original runes, the rune that returns the curse.

Even if there is a witch's hybrid, it is only a human-level curse.

The body wrapped in the curse began to rot bit by bit.

The excruciating pain tormented Beryl's remaining spirit, but his own curse had deprived him of the strength to struggle.

After a while, Beryl, who was completely eroded by the curse, was like a dead tree that had stood for thousands of years. When the wind blew, it turned into ashes and drifted away.

"I noticed a fight going on here at the church, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to catch Assassin's Master." Hiel said, "The work of an overseer is really endless. I just finished treating the Master you sent me."

"This is perfect. This way I can write a report when I go back." Xi Jian glanced at the pile of ashes and raised his eyebrows.

"So how did Mr. Shiomi find this place?"

"Tracking magic, this guy left traces in Einzbern Castle."

That was the only explanation given by Shiomi.

Of course, this was all a lie.

--------

Ten minutes ago, inside the Einzbern Castle.

After the battle, Shiomi and his group entered the castle and dispersed to investigate the situation inside.

In the master bedroom on the third floor, he met the Einzbern android.

The artificial human who looked exactly like Illyasviel was dead.

Shiomi deduced that Shinji used the connection between Perseus and Hercules to have Rider interfere with Hercules' actions, and during this time, he and the Assassin camp attacked the android.

"How pitiful! A created life without even its own wishes, it died carrying the thousand-year-old wish of its clan." BB's voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xi Jian had already become indifferent, so he turned his head and asked.

BB put his hands on his hips, with a smug look on his face. "Of course I'm here to reveal information. Assassin's Master is on the run right now."

As she spoke, she waved the teaching stick in her hand, and a magic image appeared in front of Shiomi.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Well, that's up to you." BB didn't give any instructions. "But if you want to let go of the person who tried to assassinate your precious daughter, there's nothing that the cute and invincible BB can do, hehe~"

"You know me well."

Shiomi turned around and walked out of the castle.

"Of course, I am dad's daughter~~"

The abandoned BB disappeared after saying something that was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

After that, Shiomi met Hiel who came to investigate, and attacked Beryl from both sides.

Chapter 48: Specious

I had the same dream again.

That was a scene I had dreamed of before I died.

Mordred stood before the solid rock, with a white-cloaked magician who was not just young but old.
