You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"Well, then I will be the witness of this fateful duel!"

The orange-haired girl faced the rusty night wind and said resolutely: "No matter what the result is!"

In the wilderness, Black Rider stood proudly on her warhorse, and opposite her was a group of people led by Fujimaru Ritsuka. Among them, Mordred stood up with a fearless and arrogant smile on his face, staring at the other party provocatively.

King Arthur VS Rebellious Knight!

Even the out-of-control Holy Grail War could not affect the duel between these two. Compared with the complex and profound cause and effect between them, everything else needs to be put aside.

From the perspective of Shishi Jie, he should have stopped the battle, because regardless of the outcome, the chances of Mordred surviving would not be very high. Once he lost his Servant, he would withdraw from the Holy Grail War, not only failing to complete the Association's mission, but also having a negative impact on the fate of the world.

However, he chose to respect Saber's choice and let her rebel against his father, the king of Nadali!

"Thank you, Master."

Mordred grinned at Lion Robbery, and the scary-looking uncle nodded knowingly in greeting.

"This is probably the end of my time in the Holy Grail War..."

A red light flashed, and the carefully preserved three-stroke command seal was consumed without hesitation at this moment, and powerful and pure magic power poured into Mordred's body.

"First order: Saber, you must achieve final victory!

Second order: Survive at all costs! "

"Uh-oh!"

Mordred responded with great courage and strode towards his own end, or the starting point of his fate.

"Final orders!"

Lion Jie watched Mordred's back gradually disappearing into the distance, and recalled in his mind the daily life he had spent with her during this period. Although it was a little noisy, how long had it been since he had laughed so happily?

"You must become King of Britain!

Ride as fast as you can, Saber!"

"Up!"

Red thunder surged, and steel armor appeared on the rebellious girl. Driven by the passionate magic, she shot towards the King of the Wild Hunt like a cannonball.

"Is that so...As far as Master is concerned, yours is better."

The dark King Arthur showed an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth, which was then covered by the cold steel mask.

"In this case, the only fate for the traitors who dare to challenge the majesty of the king is to be trampled to death by the iron hooves!"

Black and red magic wrapped around the spear, and Rider rushed forward on his horse, fiercely stabbing out the divine weapon that could penetrate everything!

Clang! ! !

The Scarlet Thunder Demon Sword collided fiercely, and the surging magic power created a strong wind that blew away everything around.

"Senior, be careful!"

Ma held the round table in front of Lixiang to block the strong wind pressure, then opened her eyes wide and looked forward.

As the successor of "Galahad", she felt it was her obligation to witness the outcome of this battle!

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Achilles met Chiron again. The master and disciple did not hold back because of their past friendship and started a fierce battle.

Afterwards, Atalanta and Karna, who were not stopped by anyone, came to the base camp of the Thousand Worlds Tree. Although there was a barrier against spirits outside, the unguarded fortifications would naturally have flaws.

"That won't do~"

When Karna was about to break the barrier by force, a lazy voice sounded, causing the Son of the Sun's eyes to move slightly.

"So it's you... Why are you standing in front of us?"

"If you were allowed into the maze, things would be troublesome."

The person who came was Iori. He was wearing a black Shinigami uniform and faced the scrutiny of the Son of the Sun calmly.

“Although Medea has made a lot of preparations, she is only a magician after all and cannot understand the essence of a hero—the one who can open up a path in desperate situations and create possibilities from the impossible is a true hero!

Even if I set up a hundred traps, I can't let someone like you into my lair."

Karna asked calmly, "Have you teamed up with the black caster?"

"No, it's just to balance the fighting power of both sides and slow down the pace."

"What?" The Son of the Sun was a little confused.

Iori looked at the other corner of the battlefield from afar, and after a long while he turned back to Karna and said, "Can you please wait here for a moment and let the real 'protagonist' appear?"

"Is the protagonist... the girl from the parallel world?"

There were no additional hints, but Karna somehow understood what Iori meant: "Do you want Fujimaru Ritsuka to enter the labyrinth and let her take the Holy Grail?"

"After all, this is her 'story'." Iori said seriously, "I came to this battlefield just to ensure that her story can go on smoothly."

As the Master of Humanity, Ritsuka will witness the duel between Mordred and King Arthur, then meet the winner between Achilles and Chiron, receive blessings or props, and come to the Thousand Worlds Castle to witness the collision between the [Sky Garden] and the [Spiked Fortress] with his own eyes, and enter the Great Labyrinth with many Servants in the chaos, and embark on a thrilling adventure.

In the final stage, they team up to challenge the guards of the Great Maze, and perhaps the witch's back-up plan.

At the end, it is possible that Amakusa will come out and demonstrate to the Holy Grail what it means to "seek but not obtain".

——The above is the general route deduced by a certain nightmare demon, and the person in charge of ensuring that the process does not go wrong is Iori.

"You are indeed not simple." Karna watched Iori's movements carefully, because from now on the two of them were in a hostile relationship and they might draw their swords against each other at any time, so they could not relax for a moment.

"As a god, you came here not only because you were summoned by 'fate', but also for a purpose of your own... but this has nothing to do with me!"

As a servant and a warrior, Karna never hesitates, nor does he think too much about things that have nothing to do with him. Looking ahead and behind will only make the weapon heavy.

Before the battle today, Karna had asked Amakusa to awaken his original master and give him freedom. In exchange, he would fight for Amakusa wholeheartedly.

The priest readily released all the magicians including the former Master Karna. Originally, he imprisoned these people just to reduce trouble. Now that the time has come to decide the winner, there is no point in keeping them.

Karna will fulfill his promise. No matter what Iori wants to do, the Son of the Sun only knows that his mission is to enter the labyrinth and seize the Holy Grail, and the only one who stops him from doing this is his enemy!

"I don't want to be your enemy."

Iori glanced at Atalanta, and the huntress nodded imperceptibly, then he set his sights on Karna.

"You don't need to betray Amakusa. Just stay here with me for a while and wait for the Master of Chaldea to arrive."

"I'm sorry I can't do that!"

"Then there's nothing I can do... I still have to use this to talk!"

Iori drew out the sword of Ame Murakumo, and the simple sword blade swept through the air, creating layers of translucent ripples, which were water vapor manifested by the escaping magic power.

Karna swung his spear, and a ray of scorching sun flame ignited at the tip of the spear. Even from a distance, the amazing heat could be felt.

"Karna, son of Surya!"

"berserker Aizen Iori!"

--boom! ! !

The two of them disappeared from their original position in an instant. The blazing flames collided with the overwhelming waves. The gushing steam instantly engulfed everything around them, but was separated by the turbulent wind pressure in the next instant.

"it is good!"

Karna praised. After just one move, he could feel Iori's courage that was not inferior to any hero.

The magic power of fire attribute burned violently, giving the Son of the Sun an unparalleled driving force. He instantly broke through the sound barrier and handed out the golden spear.

Clang!

The sharp sword collided with it, and the intersection of blades stirred up steel fragments, which flashed a fleeting red in the high temperature.

Realizing that he was at a disadvantage in terms of arm strength, Karna decisively released his stored magic power, and the raging fire turned into a tangible shock wave that engulfed Iori, who had no time to dodge.

But then the flame was separated by the flowing ripples, and Iori also released his magic power, emerging from the fire unharmed.

The two looked at each other in the flickering firelight, and time seemed to have stopped at that moment——

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

What followed was a dazzlingly fast exchange of moves. The sword of Ame Kusanagi drew a cold trajectory, and the golden spear, with such exaggerated specifications, was swung at a speed that was no less than the sword of the gods. In the conflict between water and fire, the two were tit-for-tat!

Atalanta watched the two men fighting in amazement. Although she was confident in her own skills, she had to admit that the strength of these two men was far superior to hers.

There is no need to say much about Karna, the Son of the Sun. His martial arts and abilities are impeccable. He stands at the top of many heroes in human history. A simple normal attack has the destructive power of many servants when they activate their Noble Phantasms.

An ordinary servant can't last more than a few rounds in front of Karna even if he tries his best, not to mention that in addition to his martial arts, he also has an unstoppable defensive weapon.

Even the ultimate sublimated Ibuki Douji only suppressed him in terms of combat power, but failed to seriously injure or kill Karna, which is enough to prove the power of the golden armor.

If it were any other Servant, it would be extremely difficult to stop Karna, who has extraordinary mobility and amazing destructive power. Only the equally extraordinary Servant, Aizen Iori, can be absolutely sure of doing so.

Atalanta's guess at the beach was correct. Iori's weakness was only superficial. Although he burned his spiritual base in the Battle of Yamata, it did not affect the foundation. During this period of time, through the evil thoughts of hunting the Yamata no Orochi, he gradually repaired the damage and improved the strength of his spiritual base.

Today, he cannot be compared with his peak period, but he is far superior to ordinary servants, and can even be compared with Karna.

Another point is that after a servant died and Sera's function as the Lesser Holy Grail was officially activated, the magic power supply Iori obtained has exceeded the scope of a human magician, allowing him to squander it in battle and give full play to his due destructive power!

-

On the other side of the battlefield, the duel between Mordred and King Arthur had ended. The two warriors who knew each other best did not test each other. They went all out from the beginning, ravaging everything around them with red thunder and storms.

With the blessing of the Three-Stroke Command Seal, Mordred's all attributes were raised to the peak of his spiritual foundation, but Altria also had the Holy Grail for magic, and she released her own magic power almost every time she attacked. She relied on her outstanding martial arts and the spirit of a domineering ruler to suppress Mordred.

In the end, the rebellious knight released his Noble Phantasm and collided with Altria's Holy Lance... In terms of the level of the Noble Phantasm alone, there was no doubt that the Holy Lance won, but the confrontation between the two ended in an unexpected way.

The storm shattered Red Saber's armor and helmet, and the tip of the spear pierced Mordred's chest, but Mordred's sword, with the last of the power of thunder, successfully cut across half of King Arthur's body, leaving behind a horrifying and hideous wound.

"It turned out to be me this time... As servants, we have long died in the long river of time and will not change anymore, but you have grown a lot, Mordred."

The King of the Wild Hunt looked at the rebellious knight with emotion. The cold-blooded king finally showed her only tenderness and said with relief: "Although... after all, she is still a child..."

"Ahem! Damn dad... he shouldn't show any mercy, ahem!"

Mouths of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Mordred complained with a grin, "You are dying and you are unwilling to praise me... Master, I'm sorry, it seems that I can't help you get the Holy Grail."

"It's indeed a pity." Shizijie looked at her calmly and sadly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still forced a smile.

"In that case, please answer my call next time and help me achieve victory.

The thing this world lacks the most is the Subspecies Holy Grail War, and this probably won’t be my last time participating… If we can continue to cooperate, that would be great.”

"I think you look pretty good, too, ha!"

Mordred was quite happy, but then he regretted, "What a pity, I gave the relic to..."

"You mean the pieces of the Round Table?"

Lion Jie grinned: "Don't worry, I didn't throw away the fragments. I secretly collected them without your knowledge. Although the effect is much worse, but--"

"But if there is an opportunity, there will be a response."

The little red lion smiled carefreely: "We will meet again, Necromancer..."

hum~

Accompanied by Ritsuka and Shishijie, Mordred dissipated into a spirit with a smile.

Until the very end, she was unable to break the shackles of fate as everyone expected, and ultimately died at the hands of her "father".

But she seemed to have let it go. Even if she couldn't escape her own fate, she would not give up on pursuing the path to becoming the king!

Before it dissipated, her eyes held a hint of pride and satisfaction.

Because this time her subject (Master) is far better and more loyal than Altria's!

Ritsuka and Mashu witnessed the last moments of the two Servants, pursed their lips tightly, and were deeply moved.

...high in the sky, or rather, farther away than the concept of the sky, on a watchtower separated by layers of time and space.

The flower magician Merlin watched this scene quietly, his eyes dimmed slightly, and then he regained his composure. He wrote something on the book in front of him and turned the page.

For his "Chaldea", this is just one of many stories, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's story will continue...

Chapter 147: Even if I become a demon (4K)

When Ritsuka, Mashu and Jeanne arrived at the Thousand Worlds Castle, they saw Karna standing there silently. Although he had a blank expression on his face, the red lotus swaying on the tip of his gun showed that he was not in a peaceful mood.

"Are you here? The Master of Chaldea."

The Son of the Sun looked at Ritsuka, turned and headed towards the castle, raised the golden spear in his hand, and his momentum continued to rise. The surging magic power transformed into sun flames, and the heat wave blew up his cloak.

Without paying attention to the reactions of Ritsuka and the others, he threw the spear with force, turning it into a flying meteor that met the invisible barrier in the void. Even the barrier based on the earth veins seemed a little weak under the attack of the national treasure, and immediately spread out circles of red-gold ripples.
