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

The puppets rushed forward, and Mash turned her arm, but as soon as she moved past the shield, blood splattered on her shoulder. First, the sound of the piano was leisurely, and then the cold characters uttered from Tristan's mouth were heard:

“Failnaught.”

Starting with the long wound, magical power suddenly gathered, and then the bloodstain spread to the surrounding skin like a blooming flower bud. Intense pain pierced Mashu's body, and her consciousness was like a string stretched to the extreme, breaking with a bang.

Mashu's pupils dilated and her body fell straight forward.

"Matthew!"

She heard the Master's calls, but had lost the ability to respond. She could think, see, and feel someone shaking her body, but she could not respond or speak no matter what. She could not raise her head and say "I'm fine" to the Master beside her.

She saw her Master standing in front of her and heard the rustling of chaotic footsteps, but she could do nothing.

There was a buzzing sound like tinnitus in her ears, and her vision gradually became dim, as if she might faint at any time. She wanted to bite the tip of her tongue to stimulate herself with pain so that she could wake up, but she couldn't even complete such a simple action.

She is too weak. If she had the strength of other Knights of the Round Table... or even Mr. Menechel (Saber)——

She recalled the strength that Menachel Saber had shown when they had simulated a battle together, as if he could defeat large groups of enemies with just a swing of his sword.

If the spiritual foundation that was fused at that time was...

The buzzing sound lingering in her ears became stronger and stronger. Mashu stopped her unrealistic fantasies. She gritted her teeth and tried desperately to take back control of her body. An inexplicable sense of urgency arose in her heart, as if urging her, reminding her, and warning her: "This is your last chance."

"I can't understand you, Fujimaru Ritsuka. Your kindness is too cheap and annoying." Mashu heard the voice of "Tristan". Mashu heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's struggle. She caught a glimpse of Fujimaru Ritsuka being pinned to the ground by several female villagers.

"For your so-called human nature of wanting to be saved, you gave up the people you loved, gave up the people who loved you, gave up the people who helped you and had good intentions towards you, and went to save even more people you didn't even know. You are truly an ideal savior."

"If you had just given up, I would have allowed you to live a peaceful life in the dream world. As expected, numbers are everything to you, right? Everyone can be sacrificed as long as more people can be saved."

"Then I'll give you a choice."

"I can help you escape from the dream world, but you just need to kill the girl yourself. How about that? I can set up a self-enforcement spell, and as long as you do it, I will let you return to Chaldea. How about that? It's a good deal, right? You can continue to save your humanity, or even regroup and come back here to kill me to avenge the girl. I won't tell anyone the truth. You can say that it was her, Galahad, who died to help you escape. Your reputation will not be damaged, and you can continue your astrological journey and dream of saving the world."

The voice became sharper and sharper, and from a certain point on, Tristan's voice was completely replaced by a female voice. At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka was shocked to realize that night had fallen. Without knowing when, Minako was standing next to Tristan, using her own voice again.

"Agree..."

Both of them had such a plea in their hearts at the same time, but Mashu heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's sobs, which started small and gradually became bigger, and then she collapsed.

“Uh…Aaaaaah!”

"What? You can only sacrifice people who are not close to you. You are evil."

Mashu felt her heart bleeding. She didn't mind sacrificing her life for Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Fujimaru Ritsuka was a girl who was looking for the perfect ending of "everyone survives". She didn't want anyone to sacrifice for her.

"I'm sorry, Senior. It's all because of me. I'm sorry, Senior."

Mashu's heart was wailing. She wanted to take back control of her body. She wanted to commit suicide to understand Fujimaru Ritsuka's troubles.

——But haven’t you tried your best yet?

It wasn't an illusion, Mashu really heard the voice. The deep male voice seemed to ring in her head, and her heart beat vigorously.

——The Command Spell allows you to attack with all your strength, right?

Mashu answered in the affirmative, yes, she had tried her best.

——The effect of the Command Spell depends on the Servant's thoughts. You did use all your strength but that was what you thought was your full strength. Your resistance and opposition weakened the original [enhancement] of the Command Spell.

Mashu realized that Fujimaru Ritsuka was not the only one stuck in the trolley problem, and she was also unable to make up her mind completely.

- Younger generation standing at the Seat of Disaster, to borrow a phrase from the First Knight you admire, when someone gives you this kind of trade-off problem, instead of thinking about how to balance the trade-offs, it is better to solve the problem of the person who gave you this problem.

——You want to protect your Master, right?

Mashu was absolutely certain that she wanted to protect her Master, even if it meant becoming a disaster or abandoning kindness.

——Leave your kindness behind. There should indeed be someone here who can become a sharp sword, but that person is not you. It is me. I am the seventh Servant summoned by the Holy Grail.

——Youngster, I will show you the “full power” contained in this spiritual foundation.

The vision was completely plunged into darkness.

The red light of the Command Seal wrapped around Mashu's body like a flickering candle flame, and then quickly expanded.

"Ok?"

Minanako looked over there and set up a magic barrier around herself, but it was only able to cover a small area in front of her. The next moment, a violent turbulence of magic power swept towards the surroundings, knocking away the puppet that was pressing on Fujimaru Ritsuka, blowing away the approaching Knight of Justice, and stopping Minanako and Tristan who wanted to get closer.

Suddenly, clear blue magic power rushed into the sky.

Don't think that Shumi opened champagne in the first half to give others a chance, this is a foreshadowing (I am pointing it out here in case someone finds fault with this), and you will know that she can't lose after watching it later, and her goal has never been to destroy Gudako physically, this scumbag Loli wants to crush Gudako spiritually, and then her goal can be achieved

Chapter 247 Chapter The First Companions, the Last Enemies (optional)

2023-07-29

Feeling the sudden drop in air pressure around her, Minanako narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked with interest at the purple-haired shield knight who stood up again, and controlled Tristan's body to move a few steps to the side so that she could have a clearer view.

The magic power was not overwhelming, but a restrained and deep blue color that only adhered to Mashu's body surface, blocking the continuous drizzle outside her body.

“Mashu…”

Fujimaru Ritsuka was helped up, the girl's figure reflected in her pupils. She saw Mash's downturned mouth and her almost lifeless and indifferent eyes, and a sense of strangeness surged in her heart.

"who are you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly became alert.

"Don't worry, your junior is just taking a rest for now."

Mashu spoke, with the same tone of voice but now with a completely different coldness.

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to realize something.

"Galahad?"

Mashu did not answer. She picked up the shield on the ground and stretched her body, which was seriously injured but still able to move. "It's a bit strange to fight with a body that is not my own, but I can't help but stretch my muscles."

As she spoke, Mashu's lavender eyes completely fell on Minako who was standing opposite her. She raised her chin and gave her a provocative smile: "Come on, First Knight."

“Hey——” Minanako stretched out the last syllable of the sentence. She hid behind Tristan and looked curiously at Galahad, who was obviously a little strange.

There was no trace of magic power left in the surroundings for a second summon, and with Fujimaru Ritsuka's current magic power, she couldn't perform a second summon. She narrowed her eyes and showed a wicked smile:

"I see. So it didn't exist in the beginning?"

He was not born from Mashu's body due to a crisis or a Command Seal, but Lancelot summoned Galahad from the very beginning.

Mashu said nothing. She suddenly raised her hand, and a layer of light blue light suddenly burst out from the shield in her hand. As she waved her arm, the light blue light suddenly expanded, forming a hazy image of a round table, which hit her side.

The virtual image of the round table brought a surge of airflow and hit her from behind. The knight and three or two puppets who were about to secretly shoot arrows were instantly smashed to pieces.

Mashu looked up, her hair fluttering in front of her forehead, covering one of her eyes. But even with only one eye exposed, the sharpness in the girl's eyes was still fully revealed.

"If you want to fight, then do it openly. I have so much energy right now that I don't know where to vent it."

Just as Minanako said, the one who came from the Chaldean collar to answer the call of a certain bastard father was Galahad. He was also surprised when he found out that he was the one who was in control of the body this time, but the moment he saw Lancelot's stupid face, he gave up the control and handed the body over to his junior to control as before.

Along the way, he witnessed everything like a spectator.

He witnessed the growth of that still young and useless man all the way to his final death.

He wanted to fight for the first time in a long time.

For example, now, facing the First Knight of Camelot, who Mashu could never defeat alone.

"Mash" raised her head, her eyes as cold as a sword, and she moved with ease among the surging crowd. The light on her shield never went out. The pale blue shadow of a round table was projected outside the shield, constantly changing its direction and size as Mash moved around.

The puppets' attacks, the Knights of Justice's interference, and even Tristan's shooting were unable to shake this iron wall in the slightest.

Although it was still the same scarred body, and even the nature of the magic power had not changed, the previous attacks were no longer effective.

Mashu dealt with the surrounding enemies in an instant like a whirlwind. Even Tristan was defeated by Mashu's continuous shield attacks and was finally forced into a dead end.

Minanako was standing there leisurely with her hands behind her back, a mysterious smile of interest on her face.

There was no assistance nor panic.

The shield hit Tristan's face hard, and a pale blue light curtain bloomed at the moment of impact.

Tristan's body twisted in a terrifying arc, and with a cracking sound coming from the waist, Tristan's body was broken into two.

The surface of his body quickly disintegrated into golden light particles. These magic photons slid down along the shield and merged into the land bit by bit.

"Sir Tristan, sleep well."

Retracting the shield, "Mash" murmured in a low voice as she watched all this.

"After that..."

She turned her head and looked at Minanako, who was looking at her as well.

"You don't think you can defeat me."

She raised her little face and smiled: "It seems that defeating the other me has made you a little too confident... You don't have the Command Seal anymore, right?"

She mentioned the word "Command Seal" vaguely, implying that Fujimaru Ritsuka himself had already mastered all her movements at all times.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up with the help of Mashu. She faced Minako fearlessly and spoke softly:

"You have used up all your magic stored."

"Hey?"

The smile on Minanako's face froze.

"Including the ones used in the first parade, up to the last shadow-cutting magic, there are exactly thirteen. You have run out of magic to use, right?"

And without magic, Minanako is even worse than ordinary people.

That's why it took two whole days to hypnotize a village of people, that's why we had to resort to these despicable tactics, and that's why we haven't used any magic from just now until now.

"Mashu" looked at Minanako thoughtfully. No wonder the other party had not made any move since the beginning.

Fortunately, she was still on guard against the opponent's counterattack.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Minako and said, "Your lies can no longer deceive me. Even if you delay until the sun rises, you still can't escape. Your hibernation place is in Camelot."

Minanako's face turned pale and blue as Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, and finally when Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned "Camelot Castle", her face instantly turned gray.

“You really are…”

At the end of her speech, she felt like a stuck machine that could no longer continue. She bit her lower lip and looked around but could not find a puppet that could be used.

"Mashu... No, Galahad!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her long breath seemed to release the frustration, pain, anger and sadness that were accumulated in her chest. When she opened her eyes again, her apricot-yellow eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness.

"I won't choose any of the options you give me. Defeat her!"

Mashu, who had been waiting for this order, bent down, crossed her shield and showed an aggressive smile on her face.

"learn."

This volume will soon be finished, and I will soon go back to school (sad)

Starry Fantasy: Old Empire Investigation Report

"Starry Fantasy: The Old Empire" Survey Report

The Sixth Singularity: The Old Empire

Humanistic foundation index: Ex (crossed out)

Anomaly parameter: E

"Old Days"

1) The restraining force summoned Minanako to repair the singularity. As soon as she responded to the summons, she used the shadow-cutting magic to forcibly control Bedivere to return the holy sword and end the "Lion King", resulting in the singularity in Jerusalem being ended by Ozymandias.

Things did not come to the end. When King Arthur was dying, the Holy Grail found by the Knight of the Round Table Galahad responded to King Arthur's wish of "wanting the country to continue forever" and summoned another Minanako (hereinafter referred to as Shumi). Shumi used the Holy Grail to fix King Arthur's life state, and with King Arthur as the core, she unfolded the treasure and gradually assimilated the whole of Britain. The content of the dream was an everlasting empire.

2) Minanako found that she could not return to her seat even though she had solved the anomaly, and began to get suspicious. After a period of exploration, she finally noticed something unusual when Shumi was patrolling at King's Ridge, but it was too late for her to stop it. The world was assimilated, and she even sealed the bodies of the Knights of the Round Table in her own treasure as anchors to fix the world. An eternal empire was born, and this was the sixth singularity discovered by Chaldea.

At this time, with the help of the suppression force, Minako used her clairvoyance to sense the existence of the spirit transfer, and noticed the sight that was peeping at her in a certain period of time and space. She used this to track down Chaldeas in reverse, and captured Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was an adapted body of the spirit transfer, and used this to deconstruct the spirit transfer technology.

3) Minanako persuaded Fujimaru Ritsuka to fight against Shumi, and finally through Fujimaru Ritsuka touched the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail stopped working briefly. During this moment, Shumi used his magic power to maintain Arthur's vital signs, and Minanako seized this opportunity to use the spirit particle to transfer back to the time point [before the founding of Camelot] and arranged her own Noble Phantasm in advance. As long as the Noble Phantasm negates the existence of Camelot, this singularity can be successfully resolved.
