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

The lightsaber collapsed and dissipated the moment it left his hand.

It's now--!

He showed a gloomy expression, which was rare. The gentle smile that never disappeared even though he was always at a disadvantage turned into a rather aggressive grin because of this slight change in his expression.

With the blessing of the magic power of the Command Seal, the Noble Phantasm does not need to be charged.

"Restraints and liberation—"

The magic power did not gather towards the lightsaber, but towards Kai's soul core.

"Holy Sword Copy!"

Following Kai's loud shout, holy golden light began to spread from his heart to his limbs.

And in this golden light, Kai's pupils were rendered pure gold.

Kai raised his hand, and a strong magical power surged into his body. Even Berserker realized that something was wrong, but the frantic beast did not run away, and he bumped into the light regardless.

The simple spiritual outfit was easily torn apart by [Indestructible Lake Light], and a chill penetrated into his chest.

boom--

The two bodies collided with a dull sound. The force of Lancelot's forward lunge was completely applied to the sword, and the sword was completely embedded in his chest.

Kay didn't expect Lancelot to be so crazy.

But only this kind of struggle can make Kai feel at ease.

——The one he wanted to kill was not an ordinary knight, but the strongest of the Round Table!

He placed one hand on the hilt of the sword in front of his chest, stopping Lancelot from continuing his thrust.

Blood quickly flowed down his wound.

He grabbed Lancelot's hilt regardless of anything, and his hand was wrapped in holy light and twisted into a round shield, which tightly stuck Lancelot's body.

"Lancelot ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Kai's other hand spread out into a lightsaber, and his arm, with the holy golden luster, slashed towards Lancelot's face.

Clang——!

An arm forced its way in from the other side, and the thick black armor collided head-on with Kai's full-strength attack.

The pure black armor melted at the moment of contact, revealing the rock-like blue-gray muscles beneath the armor.

"Ok?"

The intruder seemed to sense Kai's unusualness. He thrust his shoulder in Lancelot's direction and swung his sword to cut off Lancelot's restrained arm.

The radiance of the holy sword fully blossomed at this moment, and the black knight had no chance of dodging.

Even if it was just a copy, it was a strike that had the consciousness of the holy sword. The lightsaber flashed and cut off half of the black knight's body, including the arm.

After finishing the sword strike, Kai took another step forward and smashed the black knight's head with his round shield.

The fragile neck was split in two, and large amounts of blood splattered on Kai's body. The remaining corpse stood there as if it had not yet reacted.

Kai panted heavily, and he looked at his hands in disbelief. After a few flashes, the lightsaber and shield returned to his hands.

Victory was achieved inexplicably.

Although it was unexpected, Kai still knew what he should do.

He didn't have time to care about the cracks on his hands as he pulled out the [Indestructible Lake Light] that was stuck in his chest.

But there was no blood, and even the wounds that should have appeared were not there.

Lancelot, who was lying on the ground, let out a low roar.

Berserker's body spasmed weakly, and his outline began to blur, dissipating like mist.

The disappearance of [Indestructible Lake Light] in Kai's hand confirmed that Berserker had indeed left.

He couldn't help but feel relieved, but he felt more regretful.

The next time you want to kill Lancelot... it will be impossible.

He touched his unharmed chest, and although he was a little confused, he attributed it to the effect of the Command Spell.

But before he could relax, a sinister voice sounded from behind him.

"It looks like he is a Servant of the same type as me."

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Kai's right hand turned into a blade of light to block the fist attacking from behind.

--Good weight!

Kai sensed something was wrong the moment they started fighting.

The texture of the exposed skin is the same as that of rock.

But fists were no match for the holy sword. In just a moment, the arm was completely broken from the wrist to the elbow, and the blue-grey forearm was shattered by the golden light.

With the help of the recoil, Kai quickly retreated a few steps. He saw the enemy in front of him clearly, and the vigilance in his eyes became more intense.

The one who attacked him was the Black Knight whom he had previously identified as [Death].

Yes, even now, Kai still believes that the other party is dead.

Both of his hands were broken, and the remaining half of his arm was holding the head with armor cut off by Kai. The Black Knight stood in front of Kai and looked at him with the head between his arms.

A creepy feeling came over Kai.

——Even if it was Menechel who he thought was immortal, he would definitely not be able to attack after his head was cut off.

"you--"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the black knight in front of him.

The particularly eye-catching outfit reminded Kai of Minechel's description.

The black knight Saber who attacked the Biloo Castle.

Kai doesn't have any outstanding achievements. He is more often a role like the Minister of the Interior, that is, he fights against the British cat demon (Cathy Palug) with a shield. But Kai didn't use a sword in this battle. So as Saber, I think Kai's treasure should come from his deeds of guarding King Arthur's tomb.

365. Chapter 352 [Axe of Death] Reminder

365.

2023-09-11

Human fear often comes from the unknown. Just like living people are afraid of ghosts, that is the unknown of the [Dead Spirits]. Even now that Kai has become a member of the [Dead Spirits], he still feels the trembling for the first time in a long time.

Even though he was summoned as a "Hero Who Died Once", he still followed the characteristic of "dying if hit in the vitals", but this guy in front of him...

"Immortal body?"

I watched the knight in front of me put his head back on his broken neck. The granulation tissue at the joint sutured the broken head, leaving no wound at all.

The black knight tilted his head, and the collision between his helmet and shoulder armor made a creaking sound.

"You cut off my head, so according to the bet, it's my turn now."

His broken left limb had grown back at some point, and it was now knotted with blue-gray muscles.

The air suddenly became silent, and Kai realized something was wrong. He quickly retreated, and his left hand projection folded into a golden shield.

Clang——

The shield and sword overlapped in front of Kai, blocking the bloody knife and axe that was chopping down from the front.

At such a close distance, Kai could clearly see the blade of the axe. The axe was a rusty red after the blood dried, and the iron gray color could be vaguely seen under the blood.

Behind the sword and axe, the black knight's scarlet eyes seemed to penetrate through the thick head armor and reach deep into Kai's heart.

The blood stains on the axe blade seemed to flow as the Black Knight spoke. The dirty black blood beads flowed down the axe.

Kai's heart seemed to skip a beat at this moment. The very real feeling of death lingered in his mind at this moment.

"Copy! Avalon!"

The golden shield in his left hand flashed, and the golden magic power that spewed out forcibly swept away the sword and axe. Kai took the opportunity to step back a few steps and increase the distance between himself and the black knight.

Kai twisted his neck, and a thin bloody streak appeared from his neck. If it went in a little deeper, Kai's head would be cut off completely.

The golden shield on his left hand shattered with a loud bang after flashing at high speed. Kai's palm was revealed in the gold particles that floated away like glass fragments, but the cracks on it were more obvious.

Kai couldn't help but groan in pain as the palm of his left hand shattered, leaving only an empty wrist.

But Kai didn't have time to groan. In the brief fight just now, he recognized the opponent's identity.

With that iconic weapon and such bizarre ability, it was impossible for Kai, a British, not to know the other party's identity.

And that's why his expression became even uglier.

“【Axe of Death】!”

An undead monster that lives in a castle deep in the forest and challenges travelers to a duel by beheading them, but has the characteristic of not dying even if their heads are chopped off. This contradictory ability once forced King Arthur into a desperate situation.

If Gawain had not married the other's sister, King Arthur might have died at his hands.

Kai's face darkened and he passed this information to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“Kai, right.” Death Axe said, “I have to obey Morgan’s orders, but as a fellow Saber, I can remind you not to think about running away. You can’t get away.”

He swung the axe in his hand. Although he was called Saber, he looked more like a Berserker.

"Has it been locked by the Noble Phantasm?"

Kai remembered the blood line on his neck.

"If you use the Command Spell to transfer, you might transfer the enemy to the Master as well."

Saber did not give Kai time to think. He stepped forward again, raised his axe and chopped down.

Kai raised his sword and barely blocked the axe. He clearly felt that the force was much greater than before.

"Gawain said you were smart."

"The order I received was to deal with you here. I have no control over the others."

The two consecutive sentences made Kai's brain work quickly. After a stalemate, he seized the opportunity and quickly ducked to avoid the attack.

He could see that Saber was not a Servant who was truly willing to obey Morgan like Guinevere was.

"Then can you tell me your weakness?"

Kai asked while he was dodging.

Seeing that Kai didn't really understand what she meant, Saber shook her head.

"Unfortunately."

He pointed to where his mouth was.

Kai seized the opportunity and stabbed the holy gold light with his right hand straight at the opponent's head.

"Copy! Excalibur!"

The virtual holy sword spewed out a golden torrent, which devoured Saber's head in an instant.

The projection quickly dimmed and returned to the shape of a hand.

Saber's headless body stood there, the bloody axe in her hand silently dissipated.

【Master, Morgan may have gone to your side. 】

Using the causal line, he conveyed the information Saber had just revealed.

"If I remember correctly, there should be one Command Seal left..."

He was about to speak, but his words changed when they reached his lips.

[Don't use the Command Spell, I still have enemies here. ]

His eyes drifted to the front, where the black knight remained strong after being hit by the holy sword's light. Countless black and red light particles suddenly appeared on the opponent's empty neck. These magic particles gathered above the headless corpse as if time was going backwards, forming the shape of a head.

'It's closer to turning back time than immortality.'

"Is the communication over?"

Saber asked.

"If you don't want to obey Morgan, then why didn't you pretend to be dead just now? Are you like my sister, saying one thing but doing another?" Kai made a reasonable suggestion. His body was tense and he was on guard even as he spoke.
