Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

The black knight king closed his eyes and concentrated, with his hands on the hilt of the sword, waiting for the space above to begin to distort, and then he would immediately use his magic power to release a black storm to wash away the last shame at the hands of the Son of the Sun God.

--coming!

Feeling the agreed signal, Artoria directly broke through the surrounding barrier. Although her agility and mobility were reduced after she turned dark, her violent magic power would destroy all obstacles, so it did not affect her speed in this indoor environment with many buildings.

But Saber suddenly stopped.

She stepped on the wall that had been broken and large chunks of concrete had been peeled off, leaving only a few twisted steel bars standing alone on the wall above, and she abruptly stopped her momentum.

Although her perception of the surrounding environment had dulled a little, after breaking out of the barrier, she did not feel the sound of wind or even vibrations. There was only an eerie silence. It was hard for her not to notice that something was wrong.

Altria raised the ominous magic sword that was flashing with a red halo, and watched vigilantly as the surrounding environment was eroded by darkness.

Whether it was the walls or the ceiling, nothing in the environment had changed, but what was incredible was that their colors had been stripped away, leaving only pure darkness, as if they had been this color since birth.

It spread so quickly that Saber didn't even have time to retreat before she was surrounded by the dark world.

The sky and the earth seemed to be connected and became part of the darkness together. Even though there was no change in her vision, the girl realized that she was trapped.

When she and Kama plotted against Karna, they were also seen as prey.

Now all they could hope was that Kama could hold on a little longer, because of the change in Master and personality. Artoria was not affected by the worries in her heart, and she didn't even fluctuate much. She just coldly observed everything around her.

Even though that goddess had a bad taste, she still had some abilities. She was able to hide things from me and trap me in my current state. This kind of transformation into another world that she could do so effortlessly could not be the work of a modern magician.

So, it could only be that person.

"Whether you are Roland or Caster, come out and face me!"

A cruel light flashed in Saber's dark golden pupils, and the pitch-black hurricane turned into a beast-like thunderous roar, bursting out, adding a sense of disharmony to the light dark colors around it.

"You've become more arrogant, it seems that the fact that you've become three times stronger than before has given you a lot of confidence, Knight King."

Suddenly, a mocking voice came out from the shadow.

Roland floated calmly in the air, looking at Saber with interest.

"Do you want to become Archer's ally? Or are you trying to balance the situation and trap me on purpose?"

Although she had already grasped the magic sword in both hands, Saber did not attack impatiently, but asked calmly.

"Does this matter make sense? No matter what answer I give you, it won't change your current state."

Roland said lightly, staring at the black and red inscriptions on the magic sword, and touching the back of his hand thoughtfully.

But to his surprise, upon hearing this provocation, the Saber from before could no longer restrain himself and drew his sword to chop at him, but now the opponent's expression only changed slightly and did not follow the rhythm he expected.

"Of course. If you want to subjugate me as a force, as long as you promise to share the Holy Grail with me, I am willing to break the contract and let you command me."

"It seems that after turning evil, you not only abandoned your morals, but also found your brain? ... But I refuse."

Without letting any unnecessary emotions affect her judgment, she firmly grasped her own advantages and put profit first. Roland was a little surprised by Saber's change.

However, although Roland had the habit of stealing other people's heroic spirits in the last Holy Grail War, this time he made a special trip to block Saber, not for the development of the Holy Grail War, but simply to verify the premonition he just felt.

"I don't care about the Holy Grail, but even if I give it to you, your wish won't be granted."

"It won't be satisfied...what does that mean?"

Roland looked at Saber's puzzled expression with a smile on his face and shook his finger happily.

"But since you helped me discover something interesting, I'll give you a special option as well."

"——Show me your power. If it satisfies me, I will tell you the truth."

The subtle word "truth" made Saber's eyes become more dangerous. Although the detailed information was not yet known, it was certain that some kind of abnormality must have occurred in this Fifth Holy Grail War.

Could it be that……

Roland seemed to notice Altria's hesitation and said with a smile: "Then, we have to do..."

Before he finished his words, the next moment, the dark red magic sword suddenly turned into a pitch-black wind wheel and attacked him!

Following closely behind was the black knight, who was already fully armed and as swift as a poisonous snake emerging from its hole.

In a short distance, the magic power is released to accelerate suddenly. Even the air has no time to escape. It is squeezed into a translucent film with a dull collision sound, allowing Saber to run at a speed beyond human vision.

Although he was wearing armor with scarlet magic patterns that was much heavier than before, in front of the figure that was shot out like a cannonball and seemed to be an indestructible hammer, the piercing screams and the wide-ranging impact were enough to make up for the disadvantage in speed.

Either run at full speed to avoid the interference of the aftermath, or take the blow that could turn an ordinary servant into pieces.

However, Saber's tactics did not work because she chose the wrong target.

To Roland, this whistling sound was no better than a breeze. He waved his hand casually and caught the incoming magic sword with his bare hands. He pressed down slightly, and Saber's forward figure suddenly stopped, as if it had lost all its power and fell down listlessly.

Amid the sharp cry of the vibrating atmosphere, Saber was smashed into the ground covered with rubble and dust, and continued to sink.

But this injury was not enough to shake her. In the face of the fully activated Dragon Factor, this could only be considered a superficial injury at best.

Such a defeat would only fuel her anger further.

A bloody arc flashed in Saber's dark golden pupils. She stomped her feet heavily on the ground, and with the help of the reaction force of the earth's collapse, she launched a second charge amid the roar of the road breaking.

Without any hesitation, Saber tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, twisted her waist, tensed her arms, and the magic sword in her hand drew a crescent-shaped dark red light mark in the air, slashing towards Roland!

"boom--!"

Instantly, the air made a sound as if it was boiling.

The overwhelming red magic light rushed out like a flood, and became more ferocious and powerful under the push of the howling black hurricane.

Facing this fierce attack, Roland's expression did not change at all. He just raised his hand calmly and swung it down again. In the blink of an eye, the red and fierce magic light that no one could ignore collided fiercely.

The interlaced sparks and the extreme darkness complement each other, causing ripples in the atmosphere that splashed like waves.

This collision still couldn't stop Saber's offensive. She leaned forward slightly, waving the magic sword in her hand, and rushed into the bursting tide of destruction with firm and powerful steps. Her body was as firm as a rock.

"Wow, you're not as sharp as before. It seems that this beast-like posture is more suitable for fighting than before."

Roland was impressed by Saber's performance, which far exceeded her previous performance. If Saber before could only be regarded as a top-notch Heroic Spirit, now with both sword and scabbard, she could be compared with Karna.

Although the upper limit of her reversed posture has been lowered a lot, this is not only because the level of her intuition that can completely reverse the situation and point directly to the Path of Glory has been lowered, but also because she cannot use the Holy Sword of the Stars to summon miracles. But to be honest, in normal battles, Saber has never activated these upper limits that only exist in possibilities.

This fallen state has brought out her nature as a dragon to the extreme, whether it is the output strength of the magic core, or her self-healing and physical abilities have all been improved. After changing her master, the nearly unlimited supply of magic power is even more important.

As a weapon at the top of many holy swords, the essence of the Holy Sword of Stars is to transform the holder's magic power into light before firing it out. This performance does not change even after being reversed. On the contrary, because it does not need to suppress its own magic power, it is even more destructive.

Even without releasing her true name, Saber can now transform each of her attacks into slashes of magic light. This qualitative change of a normal attack directly turning into a big move is something only this holy sword forged in the inner sea of ​​​​the stars is most suitable for, because it was born to be used in this way.

To put it bluntly, Saber's combat power today far exceeds that of his previous self.

"Drink——!"

Saber, whose ears were filled with the roar of flames, seemed to be annoyed and suddenly increased the speed of swinging the sword. The dark red arcs of light methodically outlined strange trajectories in the air. The sharp sword edge, with a turbulent airflow, slammed into the oncoming flames, roaring and gushing out like a fierce and surging wave.

When the flames that blocked her vision were dispersed, Saber easily caught sight of Roland's figure, which had not moved at all.

The distance is enough!

In this situation, although her heart was in turmoil, Saber's eyes were still filled with dark determination.

The breathtaking black sword in her hand turned into a burning flame.

This was the purest light of faith forged by mankind's prayers, but at this moment, as catastrophic magic power continued to pour into it, what flowed out of the sword was not the sacred particles of light, but a torrent of darkness.

Unable to dodge, unable to resist, in front of the super-standard released holy sword, there is little power that can stand against it.

Then--

Saber swung the holy sword she held high up down, causing a black aurora to shoot up into the sky.

"EX——calibur Morgan!"

As the reversed real name was called out, the shattered black flash let out a shrill wail.

It moved straight forward, penetrating through space. The boundless heat made the atmosphere surge and retreat, turning into broken air waves, making thunderous and tsunami-like screams, tearing through the empty atmosphere and leaving behind distinct scars.

The fierce wind brought by the remaining flames was nothing compared to the darkness that could swallow up even light, and when Saber output her magic power at full strength, it was like the breath of the evil dragon Vortigern that appeared to protect Britain.

It symbolizes the final counterattack of an era to fight against the torrent of fate and to change its end.

Even Karna, with his cheating golden armor, could not ignore this attack.

But even in the face of such a ferocious attack, Roland still had no intention of evading.

On the contrary, he smiled with satisfaction, as if he had been expecting this result.

"Well then, let's begin the experiment, Holy Sword Master."

But this seemingly suicidal behavior made Saber frown quietly.

Is the other party going to use that terrifying red barrier again?

If I were alone, it would be impossible to break through that absolute defense.

Moreover, Roland said that he wanted to demonstrate his strength and talked about experiments. What exactly is he planning?

Saber's thoughts raced like lightning, but the movements of her hands remained unchanged.

No matter what Roland wanted to do, she just had to do her best, not to be stingy with her magic power, to attack with the strongest sword and to defend with the strongest shield. She only had to maintain these two treasures to cope with all changes.

But before she could figure it out, Roland's action shocked Saber beyond words.

Roland stretched out his right hand and moved his wrist slightly. The next moment, silver-white light particles appeared in his hand and gathered into a sacred steel sword.

That is the Holy Sword of the Stars.

There is no mistake, these are weapons that can only be produced by planets.

As the destined master of the Sword of Promised Victory, Saber is absolutely confident in her vision in this regard.

——So what's going on? Who is the other party? A god or a singularity? Or... is he really a holy sword user like her?

But Saber's doubts had not yet been answered, and then, a horrifying scene suddenly appeared in her sight.

As Roland's vast true ether continued to pour in, with a slight wave of his hand, a stream of light suddenly appeared, like a comet piercing the sky, filling the world and directly cutting off the darkness of destruction!

Chapter 263: Holy Sword of Stars Ester

Even an army of hundreds of thousands will be devoured by the darkness he released, and even the flame of the Son of the Sun God will be exploded. Saber has such confidence in her holy sword.

But when faced with another weapon of the same specification that shouldn't exist, Saber's cold face still revealed a look of disbelief.

At this point, there was no need to assert what was true and what was false. In order to avoid being cut in half by the swift silver light, Saber had to interrupt the release of the treasure in advance and continue to fall by the recoil.

But even so, the silver light tore through the darkness directly, and fell from the sky with a long tail like a meteor, and in an instant it crossed the empty void. The sharp edge that looked down on everything caught up with Saber who had already started to dodge, and was ready to hit her chest without error!

--What!

The terrifying power and swift speed left her no time to react. The mighty scarlet armor was chopped into pieces in an instant, leaving the black dress inside stained with blood.

Even if her internal organs were cut, when Avalon was still inside her, the strong dragon blood could support this body to continue fighting.

Biting her lower lip in extreme dissatisfaction, Altria's face revealed a cold and cruel smile, with a message of brutality constantly rolling in her eyes.

"What's the name of that sword?"

What caught Saber's eyes was a gorgeous holy sword. Just like the magic sword in her hand before it turned over, it was a weapon that could only be forged by a planet and used to fight against enemies of the same level.

"Ester... The Holy Sword of Demon Slayer, Ester."

Roland gently stroked the sword, which was so brilliant that even the surrounding darkness could not conceal it, and felt the trembling sound that was not sure whether it was due to the joy of achieving success or the dissatisfaction of being ignored.

It seemed like the last time I used Esther like this was a long time ago, probably when I was teaching Beo a lesson.

Only in a battle that was a mixture of playfulness and venting, would Esther shine again in Roland's hands.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After reaching the pinnacle of individuality, even the taciturn Esther herself felt the powerlessness brought about by the power gap.

As a contracted spirit, she is not a simple clone as in the original novel, but a different existence derived from the original body after encountering a miracle like the Key of All Spirits. Although the power has not been fully unlocked, it is enough to cleanse the surface of the earth as long as the user can withstand it.

Even the Elf Kings, who are equal to planets, are afraid of the limit of her power. She can break all spells, devour all curses, and even analyze the rules, mainly dealing real damage.

But for Roland now, although Esther has not retired the version, in many cases, it is much more convenient to solve the problem with his own strength. The girl herself seems to know this and her desire to fight has also decreased a lot. Except that she still insists on staying in Roland's hands, if he does not take the initiative to order, Esther will not ask to fight on her own.

Although Esther, who was only a holy sword, had much more potential than that, Roland, who himself had not yet transcended, originally planned to find a way to help Esther in other worlds.

However, after officially integrating the Shadow Kingdom into Type-Moon, he had a bolder idea.

"Ester... sounds like a fairy's name. It's quite unique for a holy sword of the star."

"Holy Sword of the Star?"

Roland was slightly stunned by Saber's words, but he quickly understood the meaning.

This was not some misunderstanding caused by chance. Esther was the genuine Holy Sword of the Stars. Its essence was the same as the Elf King, created by the chaotic will of the world. And unlike the Elf Kings who ruled the world's rules, her nature was born as an elven weapon.
