My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 600: Light and Shadow in Sherwood

As time goes by, more and more Masters are blocked outside the arena door, and when our Highness Nero finally arrives belatedly, what comes into view is a huge scene of empty streets.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! of you, yeah, okay, okay, okay..." Nero, still holding freshly baked bread slices in his mouth. The hair on his head turned into a question mark. He was asking the people around you when the crowd suddenly parted automatically. A beautiful figure with red twintails makes way for a large space.

"Going to fuck, Lancer!"

As if she had been preparing for a long time, Tohsaka Rin stood in a magic circle made of gems, her green eyes burning with raging anger. She shouted and stretched out her hand to point, countless gems turned into pure magic. The wave of movement, together with the accompanying crimson swift shadow, pierced towards the purple barrier.

sizzle-

It was like a decayed piano bow sawing on the strings, making a goosebump-inducing sound. But after the hearing torture passed, the purple barrier standing like dragon scales was still intact, ignoring the destructive power of A-grade gems. A full blow from the light cannon and the servant.

"No, Rin, haven't you been acting like this for how many days?"

"Get out of here, come on!"

"I'll go up, I'll go up, brother, come on!"

"I'm in charge of the legs and feet!"

"As you command, my lord."

The sword flash that erupted like a solar flare captured everyone's attention, and they shed tears involuntarily. When the light of destruction dissipated, a hole was opened in the indestructible purple barrier, and unknown fluid dripped along the edge and dissipated. In the void.

Nero was deep in thought when she suddenly heard an exclamation coming from the front. She subconsciously looked up and saw the young Wang Sheng and his knights coming out of the crowd, and Shi Shiran stood on the challenge seat.

"Big-Liu-Shi!"

"Will it succeed?"

"OK, I'll form the head!"

The comedian's three funny friends retreated in tears, and at this time Nero finally understood the situation: "In other words, Shuo Yue used a barrier to keep us out in order to fight the opponent in advance?"

"This sword is a copy of the sun. The sun's flame that burns away all impure purifying flames - Excalibur Galatine!"

That is a Noble Phantasm, and it is also the most threatening light cannon type Noble Phantasm!
Leo just let it be exposed like that?
A Noble Phantasm is a Servant's trump card, and it is also the most critical winner in this Holy Grail War. Generally speaking, as long as you find a way to restrain the enemy's Noble Phantasm, you can greatly increase the winning rate of the duel.

Amidst the uproar, the prince charming knight bowed and saluted. When he stood up again, he already held the famous holy sword in his hand. The next moment, the legendary treasure shined brightly.

"What's wrong with you, hero? Cheer up!"

"Well, it seems that some kind of precious props have been used again, that damn krypton gold warrior." The Master who explained to Nero looked unhappy, "I don't know where he is so rich, who would waste QP on In a place like this.”

"It's hard to say, so many attacks have no effect..."

"Make the torso and arms!"

"I didn't expect that even Leo would come."

The imaginary number barrier was destroyed!
The intersection leading to the arena has been opened, but no one is taking any steps at this moment. Everyone is shocked by the power of Gawain's Noble Phantasm and Leo's decisiveness, and they are silent for a long time.

Have money and often spend unnecessary money...

The magicians who seemed to be triplets shouted, and the one-star and two-star servants behind them charged - the attack was rebounded - and they fell to the ground seriously injured.

"Damn it, everyone, don't stop (crying voice)!"

Leo turned a deaf ear to these whispers. He just raised his hand and calmly ordered: "Gawain, you are allowed to use the Noble Phantasm."

And for Leo to behave in such a 'reckless' way, there is only one possibility that he can think of -

"Are you so confident that you can defeat the enemy even if your Noble Phantasm and true name are revealed?" Rin whispered, "This kind of arrogance is indeed the young master of a Western European plutocrat..."

Keeping their fear of Leo and Gawain deep in their hearts, the Masters exchanged glances with each other and then took steps toward the arena.

Regardless, their fight continues.

When the Masters swarmed into the arena, only a few people still stood still and did not move. Among them, Leo and Gawain were included.

"Master, why don't we go in and exercise?"

"No need, Gawain." Leo stretched out his hand and touched the gradually dissolving imaginary number barrier, his eyes focused, "I have collected the information I want."

"???" Gawain was puzzled, and Leo whispered as if talking to himself, "In the sales department, there is no defensive barrier of this nature at all... So, this blocks almost all attacks, How on earth is a defensive wall that can resist even Noble Phantasms built?"

"Wait, you mean?!" The handsome knight reacted with horror.

"Yes, Gawain, this is the enemy we are destined to face." Leo stopped his hand and turned to leave.

"A powerful guy who can shut out most masters with magic alone."

Leo and Gawain left, and Nero, who heard the entire conversation, blinked and whispered to himself.

"Shuoyue... is he so powerful?"

----

"It seems that the imaginary number barrier has been destroyed." At the moment when the blockade was lifted, Shuo Yue, as the caster, also received the signal, "But before that, the winner was decided."

The black blade twisted and drew a smooth arc, knocking away Robin Hood's dagger; the white blade thrust out, moving forward like a spear.

The final blow knocks the enemy down, ending in slow motion, majestically yet swiftly, piercing Robin Hood's chest. "Ahem!" Blood dyed his clothes red and flowed along Sen Bai's blade. Shuo Yue drew the knife and retreated, while Robin Hood knelt on one knee, holding on to prevent himself from falling.

This was the last dignity of this hero. After Shuo Yue showed off his divine martial arts skills, the winner was already determined.

"Ha... As expected, I'm not good at frontal combat."

Robin Hood gasped and forced a smile, but this time, Shuo Yue did not mock, but nodded seriously:
"Your smile proves that you have longing in your heart, be happy, Robin Hood. You are exactly what you longed for when you were alive, a handsome knight."

"Oh, really."

After hearing Shuo Yue's praise, Robin Hood closed his eyes and leaned against a big tree in relief. Steady footsteps approached, and when he reacted, the old knight Dan Blackmore came to sit next to him. There was no unwillingness to defeat on his face, nor was there a forced smile to comfort himself, but just calmness, like It is the vast and boundless sea.

"Sorry, Archer, forgive my willfulness."

"No, sir, that's fine." Taking off the May King's robe, Robin Hood now looked like an ordinary young man, smiling lightly, "Even if it's just once, I want to be cool. , After all, I had no chance of doing this during my lifetime.”

"Looking back, I have gained many things including wealth, fame, friendship, and peace during my lifetime, but this is the only thing I cannot get - so, it is enough."

"In the end, it gave me something I couldn't have had no matter what."

The gradually disappearing profile shows no regrets. He once put on the hero's clothes to protect the village, and was willing to bury himself in the dense forest just for the sake of victory. Although he fought for the village like a knight, he was never praised by the villagers. ——Just whispering contentedly, it disintegrated into star-like light fragments all over the sky.

Watching the departure of the servant solemnly, Dan Blackmore looked at Hakuno Kishinami as if he had seen the apocalypse.

"...Well, even though it looked so ugly in the end, the feeling of defeat is not bad."

Is this something that comes from the bottom of my heart, or is it just a lie told to comfort the girl? In any case, the old knight raised his lips.

"It is really a meaningful battle. This is the first time that we have become the cornerstone of young people with a future."

Dan Blackmore's expression was no longer as serious as before, and his appearance was as calm as if he was looking at his granddaughter.

"Bai Ye, at the end of the day, would you please listen to this old man's nonsense again."

"From now on, no matter what kind of enemy you encounter, no matter what kind of opponent you defeat, you must accept the result. Whether you are confused or regretful, if it has not disappeared, let it take its course. However, you cannot go Resist the consequences.”

"Turn everything into food and move forward. This is what is called enlightenment."

The Master who lost his contracted servant was judged as meaningless by the Moon Spirit Crystal. When the old knight's will did not refuse, his body was also decomposed bit by bit by Yue Xianghai.

"What to fight for, what to never lose, to find your own answer - until the end, fulfill the responsibility of continuous victory."

"Understood, young people with a future, this is the only thing...don't forget."

The old knight had finished his last words of advice. When he was dying, he also closed his eyes, and in a daze he saw the figure in his memory walking towards him step by step:

"Well...it seems like we can finally meet each other. It's been such a long time...Annie."

Whispering the name of his deceased wife, the old knight embraced a death with no regrets, and Hakuno Kishinami, who had received many blessings from him and was endowed with faith, covered his heart and silently mourned for him.

Mr. Dan, I learned from you the attitude I should have.

——The battle that follows.

Yes, there are three more battles after this, and beyond.

Since we have to fight.

"Then at least we must be worthy of the opponents who took their lives in the past battles."

With this realization in mind, Hakuno Kishinami left Nizuki Kaori at Sakatsuki's call. After they left, a white-gold light suddenly rose in the arena.

The light condensed and outlined, turning into a slender and straight figure. A young man with short silver-white hair and golden vertical pupils floated in mid-air, staring at the lonely forest.

The mysterious book floated from his hands, flipping through the pages.

"The day of destiny has arrived, with which to return to all things."

While chanting in a low voice, two souls rose up and turned into records and entered them into the book. After closing the illustrated book, the handsome figure looked into the distance, smiled thoughtfully, and then disappeared.

----

Stepping out of the arena, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was working up the courage to invite Shuo Yue to dinner, he found a girl in a gold-red dance costume not far away who looked at her for a moment, and then her eyes flashed with surprise. .

No, this girl... is the person who had dinner with Shuo Yue last time...

Yes, absolutely! ?
Subconsciously, he turned to look at Shuo Yue. Apparently he also noticed Nero's presence. There was a slight surprise on his face and he waved to that side.

What is this girl here for? Looking for a meal with Shuo Yue? Oh, yes, the second round of battle is over, Shuo Yue should be leaving the team, and the next home she will find will not be her...

Countless thoughts suddenly ran through her mind, and Bai Ye was inevitably a little depressed. She watched the girl running towards them with a cheerful face, and took a step back, not to be a light bulb that would disturb the meeting between the two.

But just when her heart was sour, Nero actually crossed Shuo Yue and threw her to the ground. Under Shuo Yue's stunned gaze, Nero lay on Bai Ye and sniffed, his eyes lit up. The stupid hair on his head swayed happily, and a smile appeared on his beautiful face.

"Finally found you, my Master!"

"……Eh!?"
