In an instant, one of the Command Seals lost a stroke, and Saber and Lancer appeared in front of their respective Masters at this moment. The two had no idea what was happening, but after seeing each other and their Masters, they subconsciously attacked each other with all their strength.
boom!
The terrifying magical impact directly caused the corridor to explode, smoke and dust spread, stones and wood chips flew everywhere, half of the castle was shaking, and a pile of dust fell. The lights in this area were completely extinguished at this time.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber jumped out of the smoke and dust one after another and came to the safe other side of the wall. Saber immediately asked: "Master, are you okay?"
Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head with a gloomy expression and said nothing. He was definitely in a bad mood. After all, he failed to get rid of Kenneth and wasted one of his special bullets. He didn't know what would happen next.
Obviously, Kenneth's behavior of wearing a bulletproof vest in advance was completely unexpected.
When Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber tentatively went out to check the situation, they found that Kenneth and Lancer were gone, and they had obviously retreated directly.
This made Saber very confused. Judging from the situation just now, the two sides had not yet decided the winner, so why did he suddenly run away?
However, when Emiya Kiritsugu remembered what Kenneth said when he summoned Lancer, he understood what Kenneth was thinking. That arrogant guy thought that since he had already lost, there was no reason to stay here, so he retreated directly.
This made Kiritsugu Emiya look very unhappy. If he failed to get rid of Kenneth directly, then the next time they met, he would become a real formidable enemy.
Before that, although Kayneth was very dangerous and powerful, his weakness was too obvious, so Kiritsugu Emiya didn't care about him, because he was no different in essence from the other magicians he hunted.
They are a group of guys who pay too much attention to magic and ignore or even despise modern firearms. When dealing with such arrogant magicians, special bullets are always accurate, without exception.
As a result, Kenneth, who seemed easy to deal with, was actually a well-hidden old pervert, which was very hurtful.
Some methods are most suitable for killing at first sight. Once you miss the chance to kill at first sight, subsequent attempts will be ineffective.
The light screen image then shifted to where Kenneth and Lancer were.
The two were leaving quickly. Kenneth knelt on one knee on the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and left quickly with the support of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, while Lancer followed closely on foot relying on his agility.
Lancer asked doubtfully, "Master, why are we leaving like this? You should be able to kill Saber's Master, right?"
Kenneth said in a deep voice, "I've already lost, Lancer. Even though I could have killed that despicable man, I've already lost. The bullet hole in my chest is proof of that. Since I've already lost, there's nothing more to say."
Lancer nodded thoughtfully. He naturally knew about Marisbury's 'spoiler' to his Master, so he also understood what his Master meant.
Indeed, Kenneth did not completely trust Marisbury at the beginning, or it could be said that there was no real trust between magicians.
Kenneth brought Lancer to cause trouble tonight. In addition to wanting to take revenge on the Saber team, he was also very proud of himself and wanted to prove that Marisbilly's spoiler would not happen. It is impossible for him, Kenneth, to lose to a magician killer.
As a result, I got slapped in the face so quickly that if I hadn't worn a bulletproof vest in advance just in case, I would have been killed.
At the same time, after losing to Emiya Kiritsugu, Kayneth also had to do another thing.
"Furthermore, according to the contract between Marisbury and me, once I truly experience 'defeat,' I must completely become his fighting force in the upcoming Holy Grail War. He said that in order to defeat the head of the Tōsaka family, one of the three great families in the Holy Grail War, the power possessed by the man named Emiya Kiritsugu is indispensable."
"So, even if I can kill that man, I must abide by the contract with Marisbury. I can't attack that man again before I get rid of Tohsaka Tokiomi."
As he spoke these words, the scene switched to Kenneth's memories. From a first-person perspective, Marisbilly, dressed elegantly and calmly in a white suit, smiled as he spoke, "When you confirm the truth of what you saw with your clairvoyance and witness your own tragic defeat, the contract will be formally established. In the upcoming Holy Grail War, you must help me defeat that dangerous man—Tōsaka Tokiomi."
The flashback ended, and the camera returned to Kenneth's face. This arrogant magician had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "It really was exactly as I expected. In that case, the contract has been established, and I must abide by it. However, this Holy Grail War is much more terrifying than I imagined. I originally thought it was just a small magic competition in the countryside of the Far East, but I ended up encountering one monster after another."
"Even Marisbil, who possesses a Servant of that rank, is so wary. What kind of monster is that man named Tōsaka Tokiomi? Could he be the legendary Magician?"
The narration subtitles also appear at the right time, explaining what a magician is.
[Magicians: Five beings who have mastered the five great laws and are at the pinnacle of magic.]
The simple words directly point out the ceiling of the magician, but there is no clear explanation as to what the five laws are.
On the other hand, on the Yaoguang-Chaldea side, the sudden narration subtitles confirmed the authenticity of what Su Yun had said before, and instantly raised Su Yun's reputation on the Yaoguang-Chaldea side.
After all, Su Yun did not lie. The pinnacle of magic is the five laws that represent the ultimate magic. Although we still don’t know what these five laws are, it is enough as long as we can confirm the authenticity of Su Yun’s words.
-
On the light screen, Kayneth and Lancer left, and no one knew what they would do next, but it was certain that he would not actively cause trouble for Emiya Kiritsugu again, and would not even really compete for the Holy Grail.
Because from the man's words, it can be seen that he is a person who abides by the spirit of the contract. Although it is not known whether the contract between magicians has any special mandatory nature, there is no doubt that this man will do things according to the contract. And from his own words, it can be seen that the contract he made with Marisbury is to help Marisbury seize the Holy Grail.
This means that Marisbilly already has the Lancer Group and the Berserker Group as allies, and it already occupies a small half of the seven major groups in the Holy Grail War, which theoretically gives it an absolute advantage.
However, the more this happened, the more unfathomable Tōsaka Tokiomi seemed, because even Marisbilly, who was able to do this, was so afraid of him that he didn't dare to confront him directly. This made the mysterious aura around Tōsaka Tokiomi grow stronger and stronger, and even the onlookers in the real world couldn't help but feel deep fear and a hint of terror in their hearts.
The level of this is really getting higher and higher.
Shortly after Kenneth and Lancer left, new 'guests' came to 'visit' Saber and the others.
And they come from different forces, one is Caster Gilles de Rais, and the other is Kotomine Kirei!
Chapter 96: Crazy Bluebeard, Angry Saber
Caster Bluebeard came here openly and went directly to the huge open space in front of the castle left by the battle between Saber and Lancer.
He did not come alone. He brought six children with him, and let the children sit side by side on both sides. The children had dull eyes and stared at the ground blankly, not knowing what was going on.
Bluebeard stood there with a respectful look on his face, as if he was welcoming some important person.
Then, Saber appeared.
Although Saber, holding the holy sword, had just experienced a fierce battle, she was in good condition. With sufficient magic power supply, she was not tired at all and could fight for another whole day.
But Saber did not attack immediately. It was not because she felt that Bluebeard did not seem to have any ill intentions, but because she already knew what the Caster Group had done. She would not show any chivalry towards such evil people who killed civilians. She would never attack them openly if she could backstab them.
The reason why they did not attack was simply because of the children brought by Bluebeard. It was obvious at a glance that those children were under control, and if they launched an attack rashly, it would only drag those children down.
Although sacrificing some civilians for victory during war is a matter of course, and King Arthur has done such a thing before, Saber does not want to do so unless necessary. If she can save the children, she will try her best to do so.
When Saber arrived, Caster suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Saber, which confused Saber.
Then, Caster said, "I have come to greet you, Saint."
Saber: "...Saint?"
Very confused. Although she is called the Holy King and the Eternal King, what the hell is a Saint?
In the real world, people who already knew who Caster was had subtle expressions. Although Caster had shown his blindness before, it was okay that he was still so blind in front of Saber, confusing Saber.
However, Saber's confusion also stimulated Caster. He suddenly looked up, stared at Caster and said, "How is this possible? Have you forgotten your identity? Do you still remember me?"
Saber subconsciously wanted to say, "I don't even know you." However, her eyes accidentally swept over the children around Caster. Her eyes moved, and a calm expression appeared on her face. "Ah, of course I know you. How could I have forgotten you? Well, my memory is just a little confused after becoming a Heroic Spirit. Why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Caster was slightly startled when he heard this, then lowered his head, tears streaming down his face. He covered his face and murmured, "Is that so? That's how it is... So that's how it is..."
This look exemplified what a psychopath was. Normal people couldn't understand this guy's thoughts at all, and Saber couldn't figure it out either. However, she spoke to her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, through the contract, "Master, Caster seems to have mistaken me for someone else. I will find a way to separate him from the children. If you have the chance, take the children away."
However, before Emiya Kiritsugu could respond, a new situation emerged.
Caster suddenly looked up and let go, his tearful and bloodshot eyes filled with madness, anger, and endless resentment. "Ahhhh~ You lied! You really lied! You actually forgot about me! And you lied!!! No no no, I'm Gil-d-Re!!!"
"I prayed with all my heart for your resurrection, awaiting the miracle of meeting you again, even to the end of time—Joan of Arc!!!"
Saber: “……?”
Joan of Arc? Who?
After pondering the knowledge imparted by the Holy Grail, Saber suddenly remembered, wasn't this Britain's great enemy during the Hundred Years' War?
It's okay for you, the Holy King of Britain, to mistake me for your mortal enemy, but if I were the Holy Lady of Gaul, I would definitely lead the Gauls into the ditch and make you Gauls better integrated into my Great Britain.
Of course, Saber would never say such a thing, but online joke makers have already started making such jokes.
To be honest, many people in the real world would be amused and confused by this, especially the Napoleonic Empire and the Holy Britons, who were collectively furious.
You Bluebeard, you are so blind that you actually mistook our king/our saint for the Gallic witch/British tyrant!
Well, that's how the two countries promote each other's saints. After all, my enemy is his hero. The grievances between the two countries since ancient times cannot be washed away. In modern times, they are still two giant countries. Even if peace is the main theme, the deep-rooted prejudices cannot be eliminated.
For example, Morgan. Although I have seen this guy blind before, I feel uncomfortable when I see him again now.
Is the saint created by the Cricket Napoleon Empire worthy of being compared with my sister? Gilles de Rais, damn it!
As for Artoria, the person involved, she was simply in a delicate mood and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the legendary Joan of Arc of Gaul really be like me?
Well, she didn't call Joan of Arc a witch. After all, the girl still thought that this hero of the enemy country was a person worthy of respect. Even though to Holy Britannia she was an enemy who blocked the former British from advancing into mainland Europe, due respect was still required.
By the way, Gilles de Rais and Gilles de Rais are both Bluebeard, just translated differently.
-
Looking at the image on the light screen, Saber still had not given up on saving the children. She slowly approached without making any noise, and spoke to try to comfort Bluebeard while also trying to distract him.
Once she was within attacking distance and had the opportunity, Saber would launch a righteous sneak attack without hesitation and send the evil demon Caster away.
However, Caster had already gone insane, roaring without hesitation: "Ahhhh~~~~ Joan of Arc! My Saint! The evil God is so abominable! Not only did he abandon you when you needed help the most, he also took away your memory! Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"
"No, no, no, I have to do something! I have to awaken your memory! Yes, these children, these children can be used as sacrifices! Yes, that's why I brought these lovely sacrifices here!"
At the end of his speech, the neurotic Bluebeard calmed down again and a happy smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and the children came back to their senses instantly, looking around in confusion and doubt.
Seeing this, Saber knew that she could no longer fool the other party. Her intuition was also frantically warning her that something bad was about to happen.
Then, Bluebeard opened his arms, looked up at the sky with wide eyes and said: "Now, Joan of Arc! Please enjoy these beautiful sacrifices!"
Boom~
Saber launched a surprise attack. Her intuition warned her that she could not wait any longer. Even if such a surprise attack might cause the children to be injured, she had to take action, otherwise none of the children would be saved.
Then, a scene appeared that made Saber and the hearts of the people around the world tremble.
As Bluebeard showed a happy smile, the children all showed very painful expressions and screamed in pain.
Immediately afterwards, things began to bulge out from the children's bodies, as if something was about to come out.
The whole process was very fast. Before Saber could get to the position, the things that were rushing out of the children's bodies rushed out.
At this moment, only the sound of flesh being torn apart could be heard continuously, and the children's bodies were directly torn apart.
The camera angle was adjusted at this moment, and no details were released. With just one shot switching, the children's bodies fell to the ground. At the same time, the purple-black tentacle monsters that had appeared in the previous light screen image, such as the combination of an octopus and a squid, also emerged.
On average, eight monsters were produced after the explosion of one child's body, and there were forty-eight monsters in an instant, six of which were on the children's heads. The most terrifying thing was that these children were not dead yet, as if they had merged with the tentacle monster.
These children have lost the ability to speak and can only reveal expressions of despair and pain and make meaningless noises.
They don't understand what is happening or why they are going through this, they are just in pain and hope to be rescued.
Countless people in the real world have already started cursing, and some timid people have even fainted from fright at this scene which is scarier than a horror movie. There is no doubt that many people will have nightmares today.
This guy Caster, his actions seem completely different from the Holy Grail War. If you don't know him, you might think he is a cultist of evil gods from the mythology of the Kel's system.
The mysterious side has become more interested in Bluebeard. This kind of chaotic evil guy is exactly the talent we mysterious people need!
-
In the light screen image, Saber, who was already surrounded by tentacle monsters, saw this with an expression as cold as frost. She was really upset by Bluebeard's behavior.
Those emerald-like pupils revealed unprecedented murderous intent and anger, making her look extremely oppressive, and even causing the delicate body of Artoria in the real world to tremble slightly, because she seemed to see the shadow of the Black King Arthur in the current Saber.
Is it true that they are the same person? King Arthur does have a dark side when he is truly angry.
However, Bluebeard continued to provoke Saber, saying excitedly, "See? Saint! This is dedicated to you! It is also the greatest irony of the merciless god! Just as He once stood by and did not save you when you needed Him most! Now, He is also just watching with cold eyes!"
"Yes! Saint! I know you are very angry now and want to kill me! Kill me who has betrayed God! Inflict your greatest punishment on me!"
"But it doesn't matter! My Saint, you have the reason to hate! You have the will to hate! Yes! Hate! Hate me! Hate everything! Hate the high and mighty God who has abandoned you! Come! Come! As you see! Saint! Raise the sword in your hand and punish me! Your most loyal follower! Gil-de-Re! Oh~ ...
While the psychopath was speaking, the tentacle monsters had already rushed towards Saber.
Although it looks like a mollusk, it can jump ten feet high and move very quickly. Its evil tentacles are like octopus tentacles and tentacles like the petals of a queen of flowers, sweeping towards Saber.
Faced with this situation, Saber simply glanced at the tentacle monsters, then her gaze fell on the heads of the children who should have died but were still alive and suffering.
Then, a violent wind exploded, like a Category 10 hurricane suddenly rushing forward, instantly spreading out from Saber as the center, blowing all the tentacle monsters away.
At the same time, the golden holy sword wrapped in the Wind King's barrier was also revealed.
Obviously, the angry Saber was going to take real action, and she directly released her Wind King barrier.
Chapter 97 The Real Kotomine Kirei
At this moment, Saber's sense of oppression directly overflowed the screen, and the furious Knight King showed her true kingly power at this moment.
It was no longer as shown in the previous light screen images, "just" a very good knight and warrior.
All of a sudden, many people had a sense of enlightenment - it turned out that this was the real King Arthur, the true king.
When people were about to watch Saber display her might, the light screen suddenly shifted the camera to the other side of the castle, causing many people to protest loudly, saying that they wanted to see Saber's domineering performance.
