The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

But after smashing for a while, she stopped as if she was tired.

"But for me, Qiao is definitely a hero."

"After all, if it weren't for luck, I might still be staying in the mountains of Yongtianliu, enduring the pain and suffering until I die in pain one day..."

Or maybe one day after enduring a long period of suffering, you will become something terrible.

With her head buried in Lin Qiao's chest, the girl's voice sounded weak but firm.

"——So you can't just be my hero?"

“…”

Lin Qiao sighed. If she said no at this moment, Qi Huang might really cry.

He rubbed her head and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll just be your hero."

"Yeah, I like Qiao."

"...Hey, your face changes too quickly."

Kiara rubbed Lin Qiao's chest - good, this way she's ahead of a certain Sakura.

Chapter 590 It’s time to end

He tried to put down the girl who was hanging on his neck like a koala...but it was surprisingly not going well.

boom!

Just at this moment, a thin beam of light pierced the night sky and passed through the abandoned factory.

Even though it was only as thick as an adult's forearm and lasted only less than a breath, a large piece of the roof of the abandoned factory was blown off the moment the beam of light passed by.

Although it was not the release of her real name, it was indeed an attack from Altria's Noble Phantasm, the "Sword of Promised Victory".

After this beam of light, the clanging sound of metal striking outside the abandoned factory also disappeared.

"It looks like it's over. The battle between Saber and Lancer."

Lin Qiao put down the notebook in her hand and took off the Qi Huang hanging on her body.

And just as he said, the clanging sound of metal clashing outside was exactly the noise made by the battle between Artoria and Diarmuid.

Although it was true that Kayneth's group was to be eliminated, Lin Qiao did not use the Command Spell to make Diarmuid commit suicide. Instead, he sent him to guard the door and compete with Altria who came to the door.

Although this treatment was a bit arbitrary, at least Diarmuid himself accepted it with pleasure... Forget it, let's just have a Pokémon duel.

As an additional note, Diarmuid of the Spear Class may be one of the few characters in the game whose star rank and strength match each other.

As for now, it seems the winner has been decided.

"But it's a little faster than expected."

Lin Qiao turned her head and looked at Alice who was still lying on the steel bed.

Avalon's effect has begun to show, but the time required to completely regenerate a heart is still a bit tight... This is also one of the reasons why Diarmuid was defeated so quickly.

Well, let’s speed up the wife a little.

"ZIOⅡ!"

By pressing the button on the Zi-O Rabbit's watch face, the flow of time on Irisviel was accelerated dozens of times.

The heart, which would have taken quite some time to fully regenerate, completed the process in just a dozen seconds.

As the regeneration of her heart was completed, the time ability that was originally used to maintain her vitality was also withdrawn by Lin Qiao.

However, as the ability of time was used, the latter's body began to emit light particles... This leather suit is really not durable!

"But it will be over soon. There will be no need to use this thing anymore."

While talking to herself, Lin Qiao told Qi Huang about the notebook she had written earlier.

It was visible to the naked eye that Irisviel's chest was rising and falling at an extremely fast speed as time accelerated.

Then he opened his eyes.

......

“…Huh…Huh…”

Altria adjusted her breathing which had become slightly rapid.

At this moment, some red bloodstains appeared on her azure skirt covered by the armor.

Those were wounds inflicted during the battle by Diarmuid's two Noble Phantasms, the "Red Rose of Demon Destruction" and the "Yellow Rose of Certain Destruction".

Having said that, with the death of the holder, the original incurable curse also disappeared and turned into an ordinary wound.

Under the healing magic cast by Emiya Kiritsugu, the tendons in her left hand that had been severed at the Mion River Port were also restored, and her current condition was much better than at the beginning.

——Not to mention anything else, the Holy Sword of the Stars named "Sword of Promised Victory" can now release its true name.

"Well done, Saber, for defeating Diarmuid so quickly."

At the moment when Diarmuid's body completely dissipated, Lin Qiao's figure appeared from the abandoned factory.

In fact, it's not just him.

Kenneth, Sakura and Medusa also walked out together.

Seeing this, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was about to take out a cigarette behind Altria, paused slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he simply gave up on giving a secret signal to Hisau Maiya.

After all, the person is now in front of him, so he can give up the plan of letting the other party attract attention while he is here and then sneaking around to attack.

"Stop talking nonsense and return Irisviel to you!"

A pair of emerald green pupils looked at Lin Qiao, and Altria pointed the Holy Sword of the Star in her hand, which revealed its true appearance, at Lin Qiao.

However, the latter's attention was not on her, but looked past her body and at Emiya Kiritsugu behind her.

The meaning is very clear - since it is an exchange, there must be something to be exchanged, right?

Taking a deep breath, Emiya Kiritsugu turned around and walked back to the car he drove in, opened the back door and carried out the unconscious red-haired noble lady.

“Sora…!”

Looking at his fiancée who was taken out by Emiya Kiritsugu but was missing an arm, Kenneth gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression but didn't say much.

After confirming that he still had a heartbeat and was breathing, Lin Qiao nodded: "Very good."

Snapped!

With a snap of his fingers, Qihuang and another Lin Qiao walked out of the abandoned factory... and with them came Irisviel, who looked a little pale.

Although the heart has regenerated, it is newly grown and relatively immature, so it will take some time for it to fully fit in with the body.

“Irisviel——!”

"Wait a moment, Saber."

Looking at Irisviel, who looked weak and gasping for breath, Artoria seemed a little anxious... However, her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, did not have much worry on his face. Instead, he looked surprisingly solemn.

According to the information that Saber had sent back earlier about Lin Qiao torturing Gilles de Ray, it was clear that the other party could use some kind of gelatinous substance to transform into the appearance of other people.

In other words, he couldn't guarantee that the person who appeared before him was the real Irisviel...but he also had no way to prove that she was fake.

So this is very difficult to deal with.

He asked a few questions, and except for a few questions that he couldn't remember or didn't have the answers to, Emiya Kiritsugu finally breathed a sigh of relief after Irisviel on the other side answered most of the questions.

But only a little.

After all, it is not too difficult for a magician to read memories. In addition, he still has not been able to figure out Lin Qiao's background, so he really can't be completely relieved...

"So are you going to change it or not? If not, don't force me to rob you openly."

".....It's up to you, Saber."

After handing Sora over to Altria, Emiya Kiritsugu leaned against the car behind him, like a decadent middle-aged man, with his hands in his pockets - in fact, this was just on the surface, he had secretly prepared the Origin Bomb in case of any accidents.

Fortunately, no unexpected twists and turns occurred during the process of exchanging hostages.

After Altria brought Sora in front of them, she supported Irisviel and retreated with a vigilant look on her face.

"Don't worry, Saber. Even if you don't point your sword at me, we won't do anything... After all, it's not the right time yet."

Lin Qiao spread his hands harmlessly, but his eyes were fixed on the holy sword in her hand with amusement.

Although he deliberately let Diarmuid, whose left hand was petrified, fight him in a duel in order to expose the curse of his left hand, now is definitely not the time.

And it is just as he said.

Lin Qiao did not take any action until the vehicle carrying Emiya Kiritsugu and his group left.

After watching the silver-white luxury car going further and further away and sensing that Hisahi Maiya, who was lurking in the darkness, had also left, Lin Qiao turned around and looked at Kenneth, who was sitting in a wheelchair holding his fiancée with an extremely complicated expression.

"Now it's your turn, Mr. Kenneth."

"....I see."

The self-compulsory certificate was handed to Kenneth.

Although the latter had prepared himself mentally, after signing his name, he still felt as if all his bones had been pulled out.

Handing over the signed self-enforcement certificate to Kiara - this is the guarantee for her and Matou Sakura's life for the next 25 years.

"Now that we have basically finished what we need to do, as for what's left... it's time to eliminate everyone else."

Chapter 591 Matou Zouken: I will protect the Holy Grail!

Kenneth finally stood up from his wheelchair - it was an extremely simple thing, but it made him tremble with excitement.

The magic circuits and magic seals that were damaged by the origin bullet were repaired by Lin Qiao's ability to reverse time, which was no different from a miracle, and Sora's severed right hand was also reattached...

Having said that, physical wounds can heal, but the scars on the heart can only be healed with time.

Come with excitement, leave with disappointment....

This is probably the most suitable for Kenneth and Sora's current situation.

I'm afraid that for quite some time to come, this monarch who once had a bright future will not be able to get out of the shadow of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

But that’s a matter for the future.

After treating Kenneth and Sora, Lin Qiao sent them directly back to London... The reason why he did not choose to take a plane was to prevent Kiritsugu Emiya from completely eradicating the problem, so he just blew up the entire plane.

Lin Qiao believed that he could do it.

By the way, as an additional condition in addition to repairing magic circuits and magic, the price of saving Sora is that Kenneth needs to keep a low profile "like dead" for a certain period of time after returning to London.

——Even if he regretted this, it was too late.

"But is this okay?" Medusa suddenly asked.

"Hmm? Kiara, Sakura and the others? They're not bad at all."

Lin Qiao glanced at Medusa who was following beside him.

In fact, in addition to Kenneth and Sora, Kiara and Sakura also returned to London.

After all, the situation will become quite dangerous...especially around him.

It's better to leave early to be on the safe side.

——Of course, in order for Medusa to continue to manifest herself after the contract with Aruba was severed, all the Command Seals that Kotomine Rizheng had "voluntarily" offered were used up.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about... Never mind, do as you please."

Medusa subconsciously chose to refute, but chose to give up when she spoke.

"Then as we agreed, the alliance between you and me will be dissolved from today. After you use Aruba's body to summon the Holy Grail at midnight, I will contact other Servants to come to Mt. Enzo to defeat you... Is that okay?"

"Well, isn't this very clear to you?"
