Davian Holy Grail War

Habertlot took a look at the thing and then showed a helpless expression. How could it be this thing? Was Morgan so defenseless against Bavanshi? Even something like this could be stolen by her?

“This is a magic item that contains Morgan’s [Court] magic. Don’t apply any external force to it for now.

If you don't go in yourself, you won't be able to figure out what kind of [courtyard] is inside.

Therefore, it is difficult to interfere from the outside, and we can only wait for the people inside to find a way to escape.”

Habertlot's words dispelled Muramasa's idea of ​​violently dismantling the thing to free the two men, and Grimm tried to use his magic to sense what was going on inside.

But he could not detect anything. All he could find when he tried to sense it was darkness.

"As expected of Morgan, the magic formula is so tight that it is difficult for me to interfere even now."

After some attempts, Grimm had no choice but to give up. He could only praise Morgan as a genius. Her technique was very difficult!

"Now we can only pray that the two of them inside can get through this difficult time on their own. Fortunately, the prop is still in our hands, so we can avoid outsiders destroying the prop and trapping the people inside to death.

Besides, we have captured Bavansi. Let's ask her about the situation after she wakes up. Let's go! We have to return to Londinium quickly. We can't waste time here now!"

Da Vinci was also helpless, but they couldn't waste time. It would be dangerous to stay here, and Bawanxi was still in their hands. Although the current situation was troublesome, they still had a way out.

Chapter 414: The Court of Disappointment

[Deep in my chest, the feeling of the "heart" overlapping my heart being gradually cut away woke me up.]

Custer opened her eyes, and all she could see now was darkness. This was not the coast of Orkney where she was just now, but somewhere farther away, as if it was "in the middle" between Britain on the surface and the inner sea of ​​the stars, a space that was nowhere.

[This is probably the "court" in the legend, the one where Merlin is imprisoned. But I heard there are several types of courts, such as Dreams, Dark Abyss, Frustrated, and Innocent. The characteristics of this court are probably...]

As Custer was thinking this, the dark scene finally changed. The scenery of Tintagel appeared before her eyes again, and she could only sigh silently when she saw this scene.

[As expected, this is the Garden of Frustration. It gradually grinds away the self-harm and torture in the hearts of the visitors, exposing the cold courtyard where the warmth has expired. It is said that as long as you can hold on until the end, you can leave the courtyard. However, this sinister and vicious mechanism will wear down the hearts of the visitors before that.]

Thinking of this, she was even more impressed by Morgan's changes. How could she use such a vicious thing when she was still Ash? Although it can also be said that these fairies in the Fairy Kingdom are doing something stupid.

[Well, I just need to cut off the line at the right time, and my heart won't be shattered. Although I can't get out of this, it's impossible to maintain the court for a long time with Bavanshi's magic power. Anyway, I can be freed when the time comes, so let's leave it like this until then. ]

She casually accepted the bad memories that Ting brought her. After experiencing this period of happiness, recalling the past was really... terrible.

The child of prophecy, the child of prophecy... The child of prophecy who was once kept in a stable, the child of prophecy who was once a slave in the village. The child of prophecy who could only smile and say "Leave it to me" even if he was ordered to do something he didn't want to do.

Because if she resisted, she would be killed, and refusing would bring a lot of trouble. It was easier to just accept it, and she thought that was enough at the time.

As long as I can grow up to 16 without causing any trouble, no matter how difficult the mission is, as long as I can leave that village...

But when the villagers asked her to kill Hector, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. No, she couldn't watch it anymore, she had to cut off the line and block the road to the exit.

She turned her gaze to the other side, where Ritsuka was being tortured. The pain must have tortured him to the point of almost falling to the ground, unable to move forward.

"I have good news~ Fujimaru Ritsuka, Kadok has recovered! This way you will be back to the role of "filler", and it will be easier for us to navigate~"

[I see, you made me bear so many things that I shouldn't have in the past, but now you can just say to me so casually that it's enough? ]

"There's no need for that. There's no need! The training and missions are a thing of the past. You're just an ordinary person with no qualifications. There's no need to force yourself to work hard. Leave the rest to us, and just spend your time leisurely in your room!"

[Leisurely... What exactly does leisurely mean? They are dying in front of me, people are being torn apart in front of me, I am training my legs to support my escape, I am practicing to make my heart numb. I have done so much... I can't remember any other way of life...]

"Since it's impossible to get it back, there's no need to dwell on what you've lost. Don't worry, no one will blame you. After all, the humans who would blame you, the people you knew, have long since disappeared."

[I once took it back... I took it back, my father, my mother, everyone. I wanted to tell them everything I went through, and I wanted to tell them about everyone I met who helped me. Is there no way to take it back again?]

Custer couldn't bear to watch this anymore. She felt like she was going to vomit. She should... no, she had to stop it here.

There was no way for Fujimaru Ritsuka to cut off the connection, and even if frustration had nothing to do with herself, it would still make her feel uncomfortable. She really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Ritsuka's eyes also began to gradually blur. From Custer's perspective, he was pressing his chest tightly, as if he was in a vacuum and was increasingly unable to breathe.

"We are the pan-human history, the winners of the correct path. We must not fail... never... But what can 12 people do? Revival and prosperity have long been lost! You know very well that our future is bleak!

Do those guys feel this kind of loneliness and pressure? They should be the ones who give in! They should be the ones who disappear! Because that level of pain! Compared to us, it's nothing!"

[It's just blaming each other for the disadvantages. After all, what's good for you is good for the world. Tell me that this situation is only for now, tell me that this is to take back the future. I have come all the way to now, to here, but in fact...]

However, the Frustrated Garden did not intend to let Ritsuka go, and it gave him the final ordeal at this moment. Davian appeared in front of Ritsuka, and he looked at Ritsuka with a strange look.

"Well, you're a bit strange. You felt you were doomed many times, but luck favored you every time.

He abandoned the world many times, but was favored by misfortune every time. He watched many lives die without saving them, and killed many worlds along the way.

You have managed to do this and you are still healthy. "

This was the final question. Faced with this question, Li Xiang remained silent.

"Or do you think that this is only for now, so you have been enduring it? It's not your fault that you can only choose to fight, and there is nothing you can do about it if no one can save you.

But for the sake of important things, now is not the time to say discouraging words, so I can only grit my teeth and lead those who believe in me to move forward.

Tell yourself that it doesn't matter. As long as you take back humanity and the world, you should be able to return to your original state. What you lost can be returned. In the future you can mourn, be sad, and become your true self again.

However, the human heart is prone to change, and it is impossible to restore it to its original state.

I've been there, so I understand.

After all the battles are over, you can go back to your normal life? How can such an ideal thing be possible? Your heart... has long gone nowhere.

The traces left behind will never fade away, and the smell on your body will never be erased. There will be no way back, but you are the only one who still wants to believe that, right? "

Custer, who was standing by, felt that this scene was simply too much for her as a bystander. How could such a disgusting thing happen? How could Morgan perform such a magic trick?

This was simply destroying Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart.

He had already reached his limit, and Custer had realized this fact a long time ago. No matter how calm he tried to appear, the pain in his heart had never disappeared.

They are always there, and no one can change the existence of those sorrows.

Chapter 415 Broken

"This is the advantage of pan-human history. Everyone is equal and no one is special. Compared to fairies, there is neither eternity nor change, but the outside world is changing every moment."

This is what Oberon once said, and Caster responded very happily at the time.

However, she was thinking the exact opposite at the time. Oberon was full of lies. He saw it clearly. It was disgusting.

Saying that everyone is equal and no one is special has gone beyond the level of nice words and has begun to make people sick. As long as people live in this world, there will be advantages and disadvantages. Since there are advantages and disadvantages, there will be special people.

However, Oberon said that in pan-human history, problems can be solved through dialogue. Everyone is given a chance, but no one is allowed to succeed.

Full of jealousy, prejudice, anger, fear, they only hinder each other. In order to prevent anyone from escaping from underground, everyone has been deceiving each other. Pan-human history is such a thing, and Oberon narrated the facts in the form of irony.

So she asked Li Xiang at that time, did he think that was really a good thing?

What that sentence actually meant was to ask him what he thought about himself being forced to work for and live in that kind of world.

"I think he likes it just like any normal person." When he said this, it was so horrible in his own eyes that Custer could only perfunctorily smile.

Really, you are obviously covered in bruises, why are you still trying to be so strong?

He should be about to collapse. Caster knew that she was meddling in other people's business, but she had to stop the frustrated broadcast before that. Although there was a barrier between them, she could still stop the magic from working...

"No... Even so, I..." But to Custer's surprise, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up again, and it seemed as if a fire was burning again in his body.

[Eh? Eh? Ah?! At this time, you can still... stand up? ]

Davian in front of him was also surprised, so he continued to comfort him:

"I've always said that you only need to stop. You can be free now, Fujimaru Ritsuka. Your actions and Chaldea's so-called Grand Designation are too heavy for you."

However, at this moment, Ritsuka recalled something that a certain idiot had said to him. It was so insignificant that he might have forgotten even when he had said it. So facing the words of the phantom in front of him, he replied:

"Ah... maybe it's true. You're thinking about me. In my heart, I have always hoped that someone would say these words to me, tell me that it's enough, and tell me that everything can end halfway."

From the perspective of the species as a whole, good means reproduction. But humans have a slightly different perspective, and they often fluctuate between the desire to continue and the desire to end.

The end of the game is actually not a bad thing. After all, everything will end. If it is denied, life itself cannot exist. You must be prepared to accept this setting.

Even an undefeated king will eventually turn to the end. I asked him at that time, this is not satisfying enough, what goal should I move towards.

He smiled and responded that this is indeed his style, very positive. His answer is also very simple, don't aim to end the game, but move towards the completion of the game.

No matter who they are, they will face the end. Before that moment comes, they have to complete many tasks. Whether it is joy or sadness, success or frustration, as long as it is something that has not yet been seen, it will be anything.

After living a life in which he could confidently say he had no regrets, he believed that was the best thing for him personally.

Although that would not be good for the race as a whole, the most important thing was that if he could do that, then the idiot who had not yet returned would be extremely proud.

"Yes, even so...even so! I must not give up halfway. This was a curse at first. I thought I was the only one who could fight, but now it is not the case!

I have trampled on a lot and left a lot behind. But even so, there is still a certain existence that can affirm myself! "

At that moment in the Grand Temple of Time, he shouted in order to survive and defeated the existence that was good for the entire race. Now that he had done all this, he had to give an answer in his own way at this moment.

"Well...what's your answer?"

Hearing this question, Ritsuka subconsciously tightened his loosened hand. However, before his five fingers were completely closed, a large sword wrapped in flames appeared in his hand. He roared and rushed forward and swung the sword at Davian!

"I don't know yet. I just want to live! This is just a selfish wish! I have accumulated all this to this point just to see those selfish things!"

Davian in front of him was actually able to compete with him at this time, but Ritsuka had never learned any swordsmanship, he just kept swinging.

Hot sparks burst out from the weapons in both parties' hands, but at this moment Ritsuka did not feel exhausted at all, he just kept swinging his sword!

"In order to understand why I think that way, I will continue to run in the future! And I hope I will never see anyone sad again!

So how can you end it now with such discouraging words as "I don't have confidence, it's not worth it..."

The flaming sword shattered the illusion of Davian in front of him with all his strength, but he left his last words before disappearing: "Really, no matter what time it is, humans are always like this."

At this moment, Custer suddenly realized something. She realized that she also had the instinct to resist fate.

The past 16 years of life in Tintagel had turned her into a tool, only able to accept everything, not daring to have her own self, not even daring to have the things or people she liked...

But now, looking at the person in front of her, she was taught a hard lesson, and she suddenly woke up...

Is this what human will is like? She can be more than a tool, she can have friends, a career and life she loves, her own way of existence and the object of her love.

This dark world shattered like a mirror at this moment, and Ritsuka passed the test.

The next moment, both he and Custer jumped out of this world. When they came to their senses, they were already at the coast where they had fought with Bagster.

"Senior! Miss Custer! Great, both of you are safe!" It was Mashu's call that brought their consciousness back to reality. Both of them couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look around. They were really back.

Ritsuka looked at his own hands in disbelief. What he had just held was...

"Just when everyone was still wondering what to do, suddenly this thing started to glow red. Then, just when we were thinking about whether we should smash it to see if it could get you out, you two ran out by yourselves."

Da Vinci handed the Garden of Disappointment to Ritsuka, who looked at it and smiled silently.

He casually threw the thing into the sea. Thanks to this thing, he once again understood many things. It was great...

Then Ritsuka looked at Custer, and only then did he realize that Custer was in tears.

Chapter 416 People Should Be Like This

"Caster...Caster? Are you okay?" Lixiang couldn't help but check on her condition, but Caster, who had reacted at this time, immediately wiped away his tears and returned to normal.

"By the way, what version of the court is this? After you were locked up, we were all very worried. If it weren't for the glowing fire just now, we wouldn't know what to do."

The one who asked the question was Habertlot. She was really curious about what kind of court this was that allowed these two people to escape like this. What these two people experienced in there was quite curious~

"It's the [Garden of Disappointment], a cursed tool that gradually takes away the will of the trapped person and forces them to commit suicide. I don't mind it, after all, there is no such thing in the first place, so I won't suffer that kind of harm. But Ritsuka...how did you do that just now?"

Custer looked at Lixiang with an incredible look. She was still thinking about the scene just now. How could this person be so brave and fearless?

"And that flaming sword, what is that? Where do you usually hide it? It's so weird!"

As he was talking, Custer came up to Lixiang and started to check the props on his body. Where could such a big sword be hidden? It was too weird, right?

However, Ritsuka began to recall after hearing what she said. Where did the sword come from? He had no idea. He just clenched his fist subconsciously, and then the sword automatically appeared in his hand.

After that, he just followed his mood and momentum and slashed directly at Davian's phantom. He immediately opened fire at full force and chopped the opponent's phantom to pieces.

"Are you as shameless as Bagezi? It's really hard to imagine." After confirming Ritsuka's condition, Caster couldn't help but say a few words to Ritsuka, which made Ritsuka very helpless.

Mashu beside her also smiled and described that Miss Custer was in a mysterious awakening state, but Custer just responded unhappily:

"No... But after seeing that situation, I was too surprised and started to get annoyed. Or rather, I began to doubt how strong this person is. Is he harder than iron and stronger than steel..."

Being described like this, even Ritsuka couldn't help but burst out laughing. He felt that his image suddenly became strange.

"I won't run away. It's because I understand the pain better than anyone else that I don't want others to suffer from it."

Although Ritsuka said this, Custer actually saw what he was thinking, which was a very real thought - [Even if I am not gorgeous or free and easy, I must live firmly. ]
