Davian Holy Grail War

Muramasa knew that what he said was a lie and he could not leave here. Merlin had let him in and had no intention of letting him out.

The next moment, Custer disappeared in front of them. Just when everyone was still wondering what happened, Merlin said that this was the first level, and Custer began to face his own memories.

During this time, they have to face the enemies that appear here.

Custer's memories would materialize in an abstract and sharp form to oppose them, but this was not a difficult matter for them.

This is true only in terms of intensity, after all, they have Gareth, but as the fight went on, Ritsuka felt very uncomfortable.

How the hell can someone's memory be so painful? Is there something wrong with them? What did these monsters eat? Even if this is the most painful part, it's still ridiculously painful, right?

After defeating these monsters, Custer reappeared. She patted her chest and said that she was scared to death. Everyone disappeared just now, and she was really worried...

"It's you who disappeared. We are fighting a group of strange Mors here. No... Keep going. I want to see what you encountered. How much have you hidden from me?"

The crowd continued to move forward, and with Custer's second disappearance, they once again began to face the suddenly appearing enemy.

[It’s still the same… It’s still the same!? This isn’t any better than before, is it? Custer!]

Then it was the same as before, appearing, moving forward, and fighting for the third time. Ritsuka didn't know what Custer felt, but he was really about to lose control. There was no difference between these three painful battles, right?

Isn't it said that memories change from painful to happy? This doesn't make it any less painful!

"Great~! We're finally at the Spring Memories! Since it's called Spring, it should be filled with happy memories! The obstacles that appear will definitely be the easiest, so I'll trouble you to defeat them in one swoop!"

After that, Caster disappeared again. At this moment, Ritsuka couldn't help it anymore, and he began to vent his emotions towards Merlin.

Chapter 455: Savior of the Stars

"Actually, if I can help it, I don't want to fight these concrete memories. Why are they all very difficult memories? Merlin, don't you have a heart? I feel like my heart is being ripped out."

After being accused by Ritsuka, Meilin just said that everything ends with the memory of summer. The memory of spring is purely composed of the happy things in the heart of the character. The obstacles that appear here may be her dressed up or a huge food~

"That would be great if that's the case, but I always feel that things won't be that simple." Ritsuka simply gave such a response, and at the same time he asked the final question.

"Merlin, what is the price of forging the holy sword?"

When asked this, Merlin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. But he still chose to tell the truth to everyone. He didn't like to lie.

"As the price for confirming the concept of the holy sword, she will disappear. This is the mission and function of the Paradise Fairy. It's not that simple to forge a holy sword.

The experience, memories, spiritual foundation and even destiny she gained. All of these must be used as materials to forge the holy sword. This is not a sacrifice, but an equal exchange. And not everyone can do it. Only she can do it. "

Lixiang's eyes widened. He just asked if Custer knew about this?

Merlin's answer was yes. After completing her mission, her life would end. But she was definitely told this at the beginning. So there was no coercion, it was her own will that brought her here.

"I understand your feelings, but I also hope you can understand that there is no other option for you. She came here because she knew. Even if it was due to the surrounding environment, she still went to the chosen place by her own will."

As they were talking, Custer appeared directly.

This time, Ritsuka couldn't hold it anymore. No fight? Huh? No fight?!

Seeing their dumbfounded looks, Custer also reacted. After a lonely expression, she quickly gathered her emotions and comforted everyone. This was great, she herself came back after coming to her senses!

"The chosen place is on that hill, right? Well, let's race to see who gets there first!"

She smiled and ran two steps, but Ritsuka behind her shouted:

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What's going on? No matter what, this can't be possible!" He said this while stomping his feet like a child. This was a behavior that Ritsuka would never display in the past, but the people around him didn't say anything. They could understand why Ritsuka was like this.

"Is that really all?! You have no happy memories before we met!? Is our short journey the only happy memory to distract you? Is there nothing but pain besides that!?

Is it the breeze of Salisbury, the snow of Orkney, that your only happy memories are those you and I have experienced together? What is Britain to be saved? What is your reason to save it?

Custer didn't look back, she pretended not to hear and continued running.

However, Muramasa put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Yes, you are right. You are right to be angry about this. Since you have such feelings, I am relieved. Let the elders do the rest."

Ritsuka wiped away his tears, and at this moment he chose to believe Muramasa. Muramasa also led them to chase forward, and now they had to work harder to solve the problem before that guy really threw himself into the furnace.

(For this part... you can probably think of the last episode of Orb when Jagger went crazy on the rooftop)

Eventually they were all able to enter the chosen place, which was almost similar to Merlin's Tower of Confinement.

"The center is the furnace of the universe, where the fairies of paradise return. Once the fairies of paradise are thrown into it, the holy sword will be established. Not only this Lostbelt, but also you, whose concept of the holy sword has been blank, can finally be granted the holy sword.

It is not a temporary reappearance of the heroic spirit as a record tape, but a weapon belonging to the humans of this era to defeat the alien invaders. "

Facing Merlin's explanation, Custer just asked if Ritsuka and his friends' world could be saved. Merlin answered that it was probably from 0 to 1.

Custer laughed immediately. That had to be done! Britain could be restored to its original state, and the outside world could be saved. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

"Stop it, this is too ridiculous."

Li Xiang's words came from behind her, but Custer turned around with a smile and said to him with a playful expression:

"But you were the one who told me I never ran away."

This one sentence left Li Xiang speechless, and he really didn't know how to refute her now.

The Furnace of the Universe opened at this moment, and the bright beam of light was waiting for the perfect material, the Paradise Fairy.

Before entering, Custer finally stopped hiding anything. She wanted to speak out all the things that she had been holding back for so long:

"I hate them all, whether human or goblin, Britain or the mission.

Fighting is terrible, hating each other is too tiring, and an ordinary life is the happiest.

But if I say that, everyone will be disappointed, so I have no choice but to behave like a child of prophecy.

So during this journey with you all, I have been walking on thin ice.

I am always worried that I just made an occasional effort this time, and I will definitely give up halfway next time.

I am the one who is most surprised that I could make it this far.

Forging the holy sword means getting rid of the fairy kingdom.

Although I can't like fairies and humans, I can clearly see their deepest desires.

In fact, every fairy is in pain inside and hopes to be redeemed.

Even if this is the punishment the sinners deserve, I don't think they deserve it.

After all, aren't we all the same!

Whether it is a cover-up lie or a real lie, as long as you are still alive, you can't avoid it!

And no matter who it is, the voice behind the lies is actually the hope for redemption!

Oh, please stop giving me that shit. The road to Avalon is also filled with difficulties and obstacles, and it feels like - what the hell!

However, I am glad to be able to look back on my life. It seems that my life is not completely useless.

I've always wondered how a guy like me could possibly save the world.

A guy like me has no right to end their world.

Because you think, shouldn't you bear the fate of the world unwillingly? "

Li Xiang couldn't say anything else at this moment. He could only say one thing - but you still have to do it, right?

“Yeah, I’m going to do it.

I will complete my mission here. The scary thing is, even I don't know why!

That is probably a self-righteous reason, a meaningless reason that is considered useless by others.

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka showed in his frustration, just as Miss Mashu stood up to fight the disaster in Norwich.

Not for anyone, not for myself, and certainly not for justice.

I am probably moving forward in the storm for...someone I must not let down!"

Chapter 456: Adult Responsibility

After that, she stepped into the furnace of the universe. The moment Caster stepped into it, she could feel herself melting from her fingertips, as if her whole being was being read and transformed into another form.

Memories, self, ways of existence, all of these will be transformed into the existence of the holy sword. But there is nothing we can do about it. If possible, Xing Neihai will choose a more appropriate and gentle way. It's just that no one has a choice, so things have become like this.

To forge a holy sword, the way humans of that era exist is needed as material. As a fairy of paradise, she is just an aggregator, an aggregator that exists to materialize a stronger and higher-quality holy sword.

Beautiful memories flashed through her mind bit by bit, and she couldn't help laughing. It doesn't matter if these are there, it will definitely become a good sword!

Just like the stars in the storm, they are bright stars on the surface that will not lose to any evil.

[You who are not here, who are not mine. I want to be a sword that matches you who have carried many wishes, received many smiles as a reward, and raised your head in the chosen place.]

Although the Paradise Fairy (Castor) does not have memories of spring, she has wonderful memories of her journey, which is really great.

At this point, her body no longer exists, and by forging the holy sword, the Paradise Fairy will complete her mission. Custer's journey is about to end, and perhaps this is a good thing. Besides, she didn't work so hard until now just because she didn't want to die.

However, she still wanted to know the light she had been staring at, the light that had been staring at her, and wanted to know what it was. She had been working hard until now with the thought that it must not end before she knew the answer.

I thought I would get the answer during the pilgrimage, but I still knew nothing until the last moment.

So should she just let it end like this?

Of course not.

"Really? Then it seems you can't end it here."

Muramasa's voice reached her ears, and he appeared here with a playful smile. At this moment, Custer's consciousness was stunned. How did this guy get in? No, when did he come in?

"I'm indispensable for sword forging! I've dedicated my life to swords, cutting off fate and karma! Don't underestimate Senko Muramasa! The kid outside is about to burst into tears, I have to finish the job quickly. Get out of the way! Since you've prepared the materials, the rest is the work of the blacksmith!"

After saying that, he pushed away the still dazed Custer and approached the center of the Cosmic Furnace. As he approached, he sighed that it was really hot and it would burn just by approaching it!

"My blood as a swordsmith is boiling! This is a satisfying job before retreating. I have to thank you, Custer! Although being your bodyguard is not a bad job, it turns out that I am a person whose nature is hard to change~"

After that, he began to use the spirit base as a hammer and pliers to cast and process the holy sword. As soon as Custer said that he would be burned to death, Muramasa said that was just as he wished!

"Forging is the blacksmith's original intention! Since it is a thing from the divine realm, isn't it natural to burn life? Burn this spiritual foundation completely and let it boil, and give me the holy sword!"

His body was being burned bit by bit, but he didn't care about it at all now. It was really a good thing.

[I said no! Hey, is my body floating? ]

"Well, after all, I have taken over your job, so the extra person will definitely be kicked out. Farewell, son of prophecy. In fact, you don't need to sacrifice everything, after all, you still have unfinished business, and that kid is still protected by karma, so you can go with him without worry!

On the contrary, I will use this life to put an end to my work. Since you have already filmed it, it is only right to use it all without wasting a single bit. "

[You've already paid it off. Muramasa is from the outside world, and is the enemy of Ritsuka and the others. It has nothing to do with Britain, so your real job is now, isn't it?]

"Well, it doesn't matter. I didn't kill Morgan anyway, so I'm too embarrassed to go see the alien god. Okay, okay, don't say anything to comfort me. I'm willing to do it just like you.

This was your fate from the beginning! But, having said that, how should I put it… I’m still sorry that I couldn’t make you a hair accessory. It’s all David’s fault for being so nosy. He actually gave you Morgan’s clothes to wear. What kind of fatalistic feeling is that~”

Outside the Furnace of the Universe, Ritsuka and the others watched as the beam of light before them disappeared, and the spiritual base reaction also disappeared. Ritsuka clenched his fists at this moment, and the sadness in his heart was really indescribable.

Mashu couldn't help but say, "Ms. Custer, although it's for the Holy Sword, this forging method is too..."

"That's right, I also think there's something wrong with the forging method. Should I say it's inefficient, or is it because there's no human heart? However, the inner sea of ​​the star is where the souls of the planets are placed, and there aren't many human hearts in the first place."

"what?"

Li Xiang opened his mouth subconsciously, unable to believe what he saw. Seeing how stunned they were, Caster smiled and said that he was back and had made them wait for a long time. He also brought back the prototype of the holy sword! Now he could put it away.

"With Da Vinci-chan and everyone in Chaldea, I think we can compile a winning spell based on this. It would be great if I could just give you the Sword of Promised Victory, but it turns out that things aren't that simple."

Mashu subconsciously followed her instructions and stored the prototype of the holy sword into the space inside the shield, but she still couldn't believe it. How did Caster manage to come back alive?

Ritsuka had regained his composure. He took another look around and understood what was going on. Where Muramasa had once stood, there was only a knife stuck there.

He walked over and pulled out the knife. Was this a souvenir left by the old man before he left? It was really in his style.

【Thank you, old man. 】

"So that's how it is. Someone gave her some grace time." Merlin pretended to be ignorant and said, and Mashu finally realized that Muramasa was gone.

"It was Mr. Muramasa who protected Caster. This is really his style..." Mashu couldn't help but sigh. He went in and did the job without even saying hello. Is this what an old man does? Go forward silently, right?

Custer nodded. The only reason she could still stay here was that Muramasa died for his beliefs and completed the final work for her.

Now, the holy sword has been delivered to the inner sea of ​​the star, and the premise of this Lostbelt has been overturned. Presumably, the future will be treated as if it never existed and will be slowly cut off.

"But before I am cut off, I still have things to do. The strange world created by the rebel Morgan, the fairy kingdom of Britain. The disasters born in this land will not be cut off. Instead, it is the threat to humans that we must defeat."

Li Xiang listened to her words and subconsciously complained that the impression she gave people had completely changed. But it didn't matter, because...

"Welcome back, Custer."

Hearing his words, a look of sadness flashed across Caster's face, but she still responded, "Yes! I'm back! Artoria Pendragon Caster! As the manager of the Holy Sword, I'm back to become stronger!"
