The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

The floating magic particles entangled the tips of her hair, and her short black hair was quickly bleached and dyed silver. When her black hair turned white, she lifted the ends of her hair that were wet with cold sweat and tied them neatly behind her head. She touched her pointed ears that showed through her hair.

The suture of the spirit base went smoothly.

Apart from the initial physical resistance, the subsequent transmission of memories allowed her at this age to easily surrender control of her body.

She had sewn her spiritual base into this living body, freed herself from the restraints of her spiritual base, and now the signs of her spiritual body's collapse had disappeared.

She hooked her fingers, and the dark purple magic fragments were drawn to her hand and gathered into the shape of a magic notebook.

The book turned automatically without wind, and after two or three pages, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth pages emitted a cold and eerie light. The night wind blew with a chill, and the four pages of the notebook broke away from the book, rolled up slowly with the wind, and suddenly burned in the air.

Four hollow human figures with their heads bowed appeared where the paper had been when it turned to ashes.

Percival, Tristan, Gawain, Lanmaroc. All the famous knights in Camelot at this time in my memory are here.

She raised her eyes and looked at the brightly colored Command Seals that lit up on the backs of the hands of the four hollow dolls in front of her, humming with some complacency.

——It’s too easy to guess.

The next move of the inhibition force was completely under her control.

Once they find something wrong, they will try to repatriate her. When they find that the repatriation fails, they will think of gathering the local spiritual veins to summon servants to defeat her. The most efficient and convenient way is - the Holy Grail War.

As it happens, the original Holy Grail is hidden in Camelot.

Thinking of this, Minanako hooked her fingers, and the four puppets slowly stepped forward under her control. They all raised the hand holding the Command Seal, and the Command Seal emitted a thin halo at this moment.

In order to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible, the Holy Grail's choice of the Master must be the most outstanding human being in the range, and this is perfect for Minanako.

Being able to create the current situation must have been far beyond the control of her inhibitions - no, Alaya had never considered the possibility of her betrayal from the very beginning.

Next, she will let these four servants protect the four cities that serve as anchors.

A plan that is so perfect that it cannot be broken.

The dark room she carefully selected suddenly trembled, and then a ray of scorching sun shone into the dim room.

She was not surprised at all by the sudden intruder. She raised her eyes and a confident smile reappeared on her face.

The sunlight coming through the crack was blocked by something, and a man could be vaguely seen.

"Ahh, Arthur, you're here."

Every move of every person was under her control. The only thing that surprised Minako was that the Servant summoned by Arthur was different from Gawain and the others. It was not the Servant himself, but...

A man with pink and white hair, but that was also Merlin.

But it doesn’t matter…

"you……"

Arthur looked at the old friend with silver hair and pointed ears. It only took a few seconds for his eyes to change from initial shock to final anger. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "What did you do to Minako!"

She kept smiling and raised her right hand slightly in a condescending manner. Following her move, the four servants under her also made a charging posture.

The tense atmosphere reached its limit at this moment——

——But it stopped abruptly.

"Well……"

Minanako's smile began to stiffen as a tingling sensation quickly attacked her left brain. The intense feeling of cutting flesh made her vision darken at that moment.

"Forehead……"

She couldn't help but bend down, and subconsciously covered her left eye with her hand, blood dripping from her palm.

"Ah ah ah..."

The pain made her scream out, and the magic notebook that was originally floating quietly around Minanako fell down. The brown scaly cover turned pitch black the moment it touched the ground.

In just a moment, she lost contact with the knight puppet guarding Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The magic puppet that she was so proud of was defeated in an instant!

Is the one who can instantly kill the First Knight puppet a Servant?

——Master, I wonder if you are being attacked!

As the thought came to her mind, Minanako herself was stunned for a moment. She forced herself to show a look of disgust and throw the ordinary humans who had lost their usefulness out of her mind.

"It's you!"

She caught a glimpse of the fleeting look of relief on Arthur's face, and her expression darkened visibly. She shook off the blood on her hands and controlled the four servants to form a human wall in front of her. Minanako no longer cared about the timing or the host body. She took off the four silver stars on her body, and the mist instantly enveloped her entire body.

"Noble Phantasm Liberation——"

Arthur blocked his chest with the holy sword. Even with the protection of his Servant Merlin, the turbulent airflow still blew him back. Arthur tried to open his eyes as wide as possible, and heard Minako's chanting becoming more and more urgent:

"The shadow of paradise, the land of loss. Injury, suffering or sinking, forgiveness in heaven, eternal sleep -"

"Skyward!"

The fragmented past will not appear in Gudako's dream. It is a clue to the coherent dream. Gudako does not know this clue.

Chapter 235: Fragment of the Past: 5

2023-07-29

As my eyes closed and opened, my vision suddenly became blurred, as if the whole world was shrouded in a layer of translucent gauze.

The cold wind in the dark room cut into Arthur's body, taking away his body temperature. He could clearly feel the magic power and even energy being stripped away from his body bit by bit. He couldn't help but tighten the holy sword he temporarily borrowed from his servant, but was surprised to find that the light on it had become extremely dim.

Arthur didn't have time to react. He only felt the whistling sound of the strong wind hitting his face suddenly become louder. When he came to his senses, he only saw pink petals floating in front of him.

The petals were torn apart by the pure white beam of light, and the scattered magic fragments were pulled into the ground. The dark room door that Arthur had originally broken open shrank inward and returned to its original state.

Minanako's face turned cold, and she glanced disdainfully at Merlin, the man who was pulling Arthur back in a hurry. She waved her finger upwards, and four puppet servants pounced on Merlin according to her will. Merlin turned around and wanted to take Arthur away, but his wrist was pierced by a pure white beam of light.

Arthur pushed Merlin away, and the beam of light brushed past their bodies that had just separated and pierced through the wall. A ray of light came out of the hole, but it was quickly repaired.

Merlin wanted to turn around, but was surrounded by four servants. When he looked at Arthur again, he found that he had been trapped by a golden curtain of light, and Minanako was staring at him with a pair of cold and heterochromatic eyes.

Merlin decisively gave up trying to rescue Arthur. He drew another holy sword from his sleeves, and the shining magic first forced the approaching servants away. Then, while the encirclement had not yet closed, Merlin exerted force with his feet, slashed the wall with his sword, and rushed out of the house:

"I'll take care of the situation here first - Arthur, you hold on for now."

Caster did not stop her. She raised her chin, and four puppet knights emerged one after another. In the dream, no one could escape her pursuit.

She withdrew her gaze, waved her hand again, closed the light curtain and returned to the magic notebook.

"You've been abandoned."

The corners of her eyes turned up as if she was very happy to see Arthur's breathless state.

Arthur, who had almost used up all his strength to deal with the light curtain, no longer had the energy to say anything. He raised the sword in his hand towards Minanako and grinned silently at her.

The good mood was immediately ruined by Arthur's smile. Minanako pursed her lips and frowned. She flipped the magic notebook quickly, and a page floated down from it, then split into three, surrounding Arthur from three directions.

The paper turned silently, and in an instant three beams of light burst out almost at the same time, piercing Arthur's body in three different directions.

Arthur tried his best to hide his body under the holy sword, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from falling. His eyes were bloodshot unconsciously, and a few slight groans came out of his teeth unconsciously.

It was unknown how long the scorching torture lasted. Arthur's whole body was burnt and there was a sizzling sound. The white light gathered and revealed a figure that looked like a skinned goblin.

Perhaps Minanako did it on purpose, for Arthur still retained his will and did not faint from the intense pain.

The knight's armor was burned to ashes, and flesh and dried blood stuck together and fell down along with his breathing.

click-

The bones protruding from the blood hole made a crackling sound, and Arthur's body shook, but he forced himself to stand up with the help of his sword.

He looked at Minanako with his eyes, and his face was so blurred that it was hard to tell his expression. But his head held high and chest puffed out did not need any words to describe it.

Bright light was reflected in the eyes that had long lost focus.

——Can’t fall down.

He did not expect to defeat Minanako. His Servant, the male teacher Merlin, had a lot of advantages and disadvantages with him. He was not here to save anyone, nor to protect his future homeland.

His duty is to accept torture.

"As long as you can still stand up, she will never give up and make you surrender... This can be regarded as the persistence of a fairy."

——Stand up, just to die. To buy time for rescue by the real savior, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He obeyed, and when he tried to speak only meaningless whimpers came out.

The paper turned once again, and a blazing white light condensed from the axis of rotation.

Minanako looked at Arthur. Even if she held back this time, he would definitely not be able to hold on given his physical condition.

But looking at that stupid face full of hope and devotion, Minanako didn't want to let her die so easily.

“How stupid.” She suddenly said, not caring whether Arthur could hear her at this moment. Minako stretched out her voice: “You don’t think I’m really being held back by you, do you?”

Her heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Arthur, and when she saw the blue of joy on his face gradually turning into brown, she licked her fangs with excitement.

The Rain Fairy does affect her emotions and behavior. Whether it is strong love or boundless hatred, only such strong and pure emotions can allow her to find herself.

She watched with great satisfaction as the brown color on Arthur's body, which represented solemnity, settled into the black color of despair.

"As a magician, it's common sense to always have a clone ready, my dear."

Arthur immediately remembered Merlin's previous trick - the petals at that time not only blocked the opponent's vision, but also concealed the opponent's remaining magic fluctuations.

Black instantly enveloped Arthur's entire body. Minanako looked at him with satisfaction, but did not give him any chance. She hooked her finger and three beams of light instantly engulfed Arthur's body.

The magic power beam that showed no mercy melted the already broken body at the first moment of contact, but Minanako had no intention of stopping. She watched everything with cold eyes. The magic power beams that had lost their targets collided with each other and shot in all directions until the last bit of magic power in the light column was consumed, until the light column dissipated on its own, until the dark room became devastated once again.

She stared at the burn mark in a daze, a rare feeling of loss in her heart. A ray of light shone into the room through the holes in the wall, but was blocked by Minanako's body.

"It's dawn."

She thought absentmindedly, When was the last time she and Arthur waited for the dawn?

It seemed to be the end of summer, when she was, well - dreaming about the future.

The magic power left in this body has been exhausted, her body has gradually become transparent, she closed her eyes, but a glimpse of the rising sun can still be seen in her vision.

It is the midsummer of another year, but unfortunately, as she faces the rising sun, she can only recall the past.

The darkroom silently repaired the hole, and in an instant, the darkroom was isolated from light and heat again.

Chapter 236: Scene 6: The Old Days:

2023-07-29

Ritsuka Fujimaru stared blankly at the pink and white girl standing in front of her. When she came to her senses, her chaotic brain was still unable to organize words. Her eyes kept moving back and forth between the shattered remains of armor on the ground and the girl who suddenly appeared.

After a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed hard and controlled his body to move backwards little by little.

As if she had noticed the strange behavior of Fujimaru Ritsuka behind her, the girl in the pink and white robe turned around. Although she didn't say anything, the two glances from under her hood were enough to force Fujimaru Ritsuka to stop.

"Your name is... Fujimaru Ritsuka, right?" The girl lifted her hood, revealing slightly curly pink and white short hair. Her pair of red eyes glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka meaningfully. Although it was a question, she obviously did not give Fujimaru Ritsuka a chance to answer and spoke to herself: "Anyway, I am the Servant you summoned... My job is Avenger... Tsk, just call me Miss Avalon."

"Miss Avalon...?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru murmured the name, she always felt as if she had heard this word somewhere before.

"It's too late to explain. It will be terrible if we get caught."

As she said that, Miss Avalon grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist and rushed out of the clock tower with him without saying a word.

Pink flower buds blossomed under her feet, turning into stairs to support the two of them as they walked in the air. In just three or five breaths, she had already rushed out of Satakawa Castle with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Miss Avalon glanced at the forest emerging from the border of Lihe City in the distance, and she felt a little more at ease.

Arthur's Servant, that is, she from another world, went to stop Minanako, but——

I guess it won’t last too long.

So what on earth is the restraint doing? Minanako had stopped the development of that kind of magic before she died, but the restraint forcibly completed it!

As she thought about it, the boundaries of Miss Avalon's body gradually became blurred, and this thin film flowed along Miss Avalon's hand toward Ritsuka Fujimaru's body.

But the next moment, Miss Avalon felt a chill on her back, and her body began to fall uncontrollably.
