infinite death song

She knew the knight without a doubt.

On the round table, there is no more dazzling, more outstanding and heroic knight than him.

—Lancelot!

At this moment, Saber suddenly felt her knees go limp, and the weight on her shoulders pressed her hard to move forward.

In the distant past, someone once asked her—has the curse prevailed since then?

"...Why did you become..."

Lancelot's current appearance no longer has the dignity and nobility of that time.

He fell into frenzy and became a raging beast, but he instinctively released hatred, which made people sigh.

"...Do you still hate me that much? Best friend...Even if you become like this...you still curse and hate me like this! Knight of the Lake!"

Saber's eyes contained a look of pain, with a certain kind of determination.

In her opinion, it was completely unimaginable for Lancelot to become a depraved beast.

What kind of mental journey did he go through from the perfect momentum at the round table to this frenzied fall?

Saber didn't know.

But Lancelot, who had fallen into a state of madness, was her most trusted friend, and her face was full of ferocity and hatred.

That's right.

The man hated himself.

He abandoned the modern weapons in his hands and took out his own weapons instead.

It was a jet black long sword.

The name of this sword is 'Lake of Indestructibility', which is paired with Saber's 'Sword of Oath of Victory', and is the supreme sword that humans have obtained from elves.

However, at this moment, the sword that was supposed to shine as clear as a lake has degenerated into a magic sword. The sword is full of resentment and curse, and has lost its qualification as a holy sword.

Facing this sword's attack, Saber had no choice but to parry. Berserker Lancelot fought in a frenzied posture, his red eyes rolled with evil, and his mouth let out a roar and growl like a wild beast.

I don't know how many times she was hit and flew out, Saber's body rolled on the beach under the dark night covered in wet sand.

Under the wild attack of this sword, the atmosphere was torn apart, and the space was distorted by dark energy. Under his attack, Saber was like a flat boat in a storm, ready to capsize at any time.

Saber didn't feel resigned in her heart.

Can't win.

Facing this man, facing this sword, Saber could not find any hope of winning.

Because this man is a "perfect knight" admired by all people, he is the most peak flower on the way of chivalry.

His every move was once the pursuit target of countless knights.

Falling into a frenzy at this moment, the power of the magic sword is even more terrifying and brutal.

All Saber can do is probably to try her best so as not to be eliminated quickly.

But if this continues, it is impossible to win no matter what.

The other party would not give her a chance to distance herself and release the sword of vowed victory.

Will her long-cherished wish be ended here?

Saber's eyes darkened.

She has no chance of winning against this man, so withdrawing from the Holy Grail War is her only end.

At this moment, Berserker Lancelot stopped swinging the black sword.

Saber felt Lancelot's weakening heartbeat, on the verge of death.

Berserker suddenly roared angrily, as if he understood something, the master who supplied his magic power was dead, and due to his madness, the excessive consumption of magic power could no longer keep him in the real world.

even so……

even so……

However, Saber seized the opportunity of the opponent's pause, and pierced the black armor with the sword of sworn victory, piercing Lancelot's body.

The strong greed made Saber give up her sense of shame at this moment.

I must win!

Knowing that as a loser, she couldn't kill him, but for that obsession, she had to do it.

Just as Kiritsugu believed, in order to obtain the Holy Grail and change the history of the past, the King of Knights is willing to do things she doesn't like.

After finally having such an opportunity, what Saber longs for is to obtain the Holy Grail, which can be used to reverse history.

"—It really makes me sad... At this point, are you still looking for immature excuses for fighting yourself... King..."

The crazy blood red disappeared from the pupils, replaced by calm and calm eyes like the surface of a lake, staring at Sbaer who began to show pain and tears in his eyes.

Having cut off the contract with Master Matou Kariya, taking advantage of the disappearing gap, he regained his calm and was temporarily released from the abyss of madness.

"Lancelot...why..."

Saber looked at him blankly, her face was ashamed and uneasy, like a child who made a mistake, avoiding the eyes of adults who accused him.

"Why? This is probably the only way I can convey my heart... If you are not such a perfect saint..."

"...W-what?"

"I'm just a betrayed knight, a sinner who broke the round table, king, I always hope that you will punish me personally. Use your anger to ask me personally. Not only me, but also the princess thinks so."

Lancelot relaxed his body and fell into Saber's arms.

The body of the man in her arms was very light, as if Qingxue had no weight and was also very weak, Saber found that her throat was choking.

"It's enough... that's what I want... to be killed by the king himself, and fall into the arms of the king... this is what I desire the most... that's great..."

Lancelot looked at the deep and endless night sky with distracted eyes.

"No...don't say that, Lancelot, I just..."

Before Lancelot left, she had to make him understand that she didn't blame him.

In her eyes, he will always be a loyal knight.

Such excellent quality cannot be denied with just one mistake.

"yes……"

Seeing Saber's crying and laughing expression, Lancelot understood what she meant.

——The King of Knights doesn’t understand people’s hearts——

Lancelot does not deny his sin, he hopes to be punished by the king, which is what he deserves.

He is the sinner who betrayed and destroyed the Round Table.

However, the king still didn't understand.

With such an indelible regret, Lancelot's body turned into an afterglow, and lost all traces under Saber's painful gaze.

There was no sense of weight in Saber's arms, which meant that Lancelot left.

Whimpering, not allowing himself to cry.

In the empty bosom, it was like her empty, hopeless heart.

A king can only be lonely——

But with such words, how many people's thoughts and worries have I ignored along the way.

Gawain who died heroically, Galahad who died for his mission... What were these people thinking at the last moment?

Did he also have some kind of strong unwillingness like Lancelot?

In any case, all endings are facing disillusionment.

If we can do it all over again, can everyone be saved?

No, it is sure to be redeemed.

and so--

"It's not over yet!"

Saber supported her body with the sword of the vowed victory, stood up again, and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"It can still be saved. The Holy Grail... as long as you get the Holy Grail...you can change the fate of that shattered..."

If you can't listen to people's hearts, it doesn't matter if you are reprimanded by thousands of people.

I am the king of loneliness.

As long as I can achieve victory and hope for my country and my subjects, this is my life as a king.

As a 'King' must fulfill things.

Even if you treat yourself as a machine, as a puppet, it's fine if you don't have all the emotions and desires.

The Holy Grail can make amends and set right the past.

With scars all over her body, Saber stepped forward to leave here.

"Is there still no solution there?"

Bai Ye, who was wandering at the entrance of a different time and space, felt the growing momentum of the sea monster. Even if he lost his master, the other party could continue to supply magic power.

It is also theoretically feasible to let it go to the urban area to prey wantonly and live forever in the world.

But doing so would definitely disrupt the balance of the Holy Grail War.

Saber uses the power of the precious Noble Phantasm on the transformation avatar created by Naiyako. Such a powerful attack cannot be used twice in a short period of time.

From the perspective of the scale of power, Saber's sword of vowed victory is indeed not to be underestimated.

It's really hard to say if you eat that kind of attack head-on.

But now, King Conqueror and Lancer can only try their best to stop the Sea Demon's progress on the shore.

Lancer has the power to win the battle, but lacks the power to dig Caster out of the sea monster.

"It seems more difficult... there is no way."

Bai Ye breathed out lightly, raised his palm to mid-air, the light blue spiritual energy began to condense, and pointed the blade of the spiritual energy at the huge body of the sea monster that had been opened thousands of meters away, turning into a blue rainbow light towards the sea The core of the demon flew away.

"Blade of ten thousand!"

Concentrating the power of ten thousand Lingzi blades on one blade, the penetrating power formed is undoubtedly very terrifying.

This move is not about killing the sea monster. If you want to kill the sea monster completely, you can't do it with only ten thousand blades.

But Lancer has a decisive weapon in his hand, so Bai Ye only needs to cut open the sea monster's shell and expose Caster from it.

Seizing the attack at that moment, Bai Ye believed in this spearman with two brushes.

In the distance, the King of Conquerors and others who were fighting the sea monster suddenly felt something. Looking up, a blade that flew from far away turned into red light and pierced into the sea monster's giant body like a mountain of meat. Tear off the front meatball armor.

Along with the extent of the meat mountain being opened up, the power of the Lingzi blade is also gradually dissipating, turning into a light blue afterglow and disappearing all the way.

Caster shows up.

At the core of the sea monster, the meat wall in front of it was opened, unimpeded all the way, and cut open by the blade.

This is a great opportunity.

All flaws were exposed.

"Lancer!"

There is no need for the King of Conquerors to command, Lancer has already projected the fully liberated red spear in his hand.

The red light attached to the surface, and before the flesh wall had time to bond, there was only a puff, and the red gun hit Caster's heart, piercing through the middle.

The power to break the magic is activated.

The sea monster let out an angry howl, its body turned into a phantom, becoming more and more transparent, and the roaring sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared silently.

Caster held the red spear that pierced him, silently staring at the blade that shattered all his hopes.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, tears welled up from his eyes.
