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

After several rounds of probing, Altria had already detected Archer's location.

She tried to force herself to move but it agitated her wound. What she held in her hand was not the familiar holy sword but an ordinary knight's sword, which had already been cracked by the dense barrage of arrows.

She had already escaped from the town while protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka, and it was difficult for her to change her sword. In the gap between being hit, she swung her sword to cut off the tail of the arrow that affected her movement. Although the remaining arrowhead would become difficult to deal with, Altria, who had recovered a certain degree of mobility, immediately moved towards the direction where the arrow came from.

But he was immediately forced back.

As Artoria made a move to get closer, the rain of arrows that were originally attacking her immediately changed their target and flew towards Fujimaru Ritsuka, forcing Artoria to retreat again.

Although Archer would not kill her easily, he would not let her get close to him either.

Just when Artoria was gradually feeling overwhelmed, the overwhelming attack in front of her suddenly stopped.

Not only the attack, Artoria was keenly aware of the abnormality in her body.

The remaining arrows transformed from spirit particles turned into particles and dissipated after their owners left, but the blood holes left behind still oozed blood.

Ritsuka Fujimaru quietly approached and used healing magic on Altria.

The blue-green light covered his palm and caressed Altria's body. The cool touch made her frowning brows relax a little. Although the amount of treatment was not as good as that of Teacher Merlin, it was much better than that of the accompanying warlock.

After the bleeding stopped, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke awkwardly:

"King, Archer... the enemy's situation..."

"I'm not sure." Artoria shook her head: "It seems like they suddenly gave up attacking us - is it Menechel?"

All Artoria could think of was the fact that Menechel had killed the enemy archers who were trying to get her daughter out of the city.

It's not that Altria believed blindly. Before they separated, they agreed to meet outside the small town, but Menachel did not show up.

Suddenly, the green light in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand dimmed. Although it was only for a moment, as if it had flashed, it quickly returned to stability, but the obvious gloomy look on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face could not be concealed.

"What's wrong, Fujimaru-sama?"

"Kai - the contract with me... is broken."

She uttered these words with difficulty, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart seemed to have stopped beating. Although she was still performing healing magic, it was obviously a mechanical repetition without any purpose.

The contract is broken, which means... Kai is dead?

Altria's pupils trembled and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Let's go to Mr. Merlin's wizard tower."

Before the brain reacts, the body makes the most rational judgment.

"But……"

Menechel has not returned yet.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was hesitant to speak. She tried to raise her eyes to look at Altria, but the petite King Arthur showed a determination that was completely different from before.

After saying this, even Altria herself was stunned.

——No, that's not right! It shouldn't be like this! You (I) were not born for this.

She heard her own voice.

"What was that just now......"

"Don't care about Menechel?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru was still hesitating.

"I..." Altria bit her lip. This was obviously the most correct choice, but she couldn't say anything affirmative.

It was as if an invisible hand was strangling her throat.

She subconsciously reached out and touched her neck, and of course there was nothing there.

'I am the King of Britain and I will put an end to the disaster.'

The words of self-comfort that had previously been so powerful were no longer effective, and great panic filled her heart.

"Then, King, I beg you to help me." Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly spoke up, and she made a decision for Altria: "Please take me to the tower!"

……

The good news is that no pursuers caught up with him. This was understandable. Without Guinevere's instigation, those soldiers and knights could no longer target Menechal. Even though he was still carrying the burden of Mordred, he still escaped from the fallen town safely.

And the bad news is that Menachere is completely lost from Altria and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They fled from the city like a stray dog. Although they had agreed on a meeting place, when Menechel arrived at the agreed place, there was only devastation left, with potholes of varying depths on the ground and charred marks on the ground that flew away at the touch of a finger. It was obviously not caused by human power.

——So, it’s that so-called Servant again!

He couldn't tell whether it was anger or pain that built up in his chest and he wanted to vent it out. However, Mordred, who was trembling with fear behind him, and Avril, who took the time in the city to shout at him, "Brother, run," pulled his sanity back from the brink of collapse.

Without thinking about Kai's current situation or whether Altria was alive, he just kept moving forward.

The human body could not sustain his duel with the superhuman. He had imagined that he could delay the enemy by commanding the army, but the appearance of Guinevere shattered his fantasy.

Britain was filled with coolness at night, and Mordred on his back was unconsciously held in his arms.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, something unusual happened at one point. The ground began to shake slightly, but before that, Menachel had heard someone approaching.

The only force capable of making such a noise would be a squad of knights on horseback.

And in the distance, just as Menechel had expected, there was the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground.

"master."

He heard the girl in his arms calling him very softly. Mordred rarely called him by his name, and the slightly trembling but nonchalant voice showed the girl's extreme nervousness at the moment.

"don’t worry."

He touched Mordred's head and drew the dagger from his waist under the other's uneasy gaze.

There was no overly strong magical aura, and the twenty riders around were all humans.

Then there is still a chance.

The cold light hit his face, and the newly risen east sun allowed him to clearly see what the oncoming knights were wearing. The dark black armor was clearly different from the silver-gray armor of Camelot, which was the standard equipment for northern knights.

They were clearly near Wangling, but knights from the North suddenly appeared.

——When did Camelot’s defenses become so corrupted? Where are the servants Morgan sent to defend the northern fortress?

As he was thinking about it, suddenly the knights in front of him separated to both sides, and a knight wrapped tightly in black armor mounted his horse and stopped in the front.

"Is it -- Knight Menechel?"

"Ok?"

Although there was no clear response, the other party obviously did not need any reply.

The black-armored knight got off his horse. He wanted to speak but only uttered one syllable and then suppressed it with a deliberate cough.

"We are... the remnants of the resistance."

Menechel stared at the black-armored knight in front of him. From the other party's accent, he was sure that this was a knight from the North.

"Since we have met you...you, please go back with us."

The Black Knight's tone seemed to be one of trying hard to suppress some extraordinary emotion.

Menechel's expression suddenly turned cold.

The person in front of him had an extremely mixed aura. He was close to a Servant, but he was different.

But, he is definitely not human!

The Heroic Spirits are separated from the concept of the timeline. It is possible to summon a Servant from the future in the present. It is not impossible to summon a Servant just because the person in this time and space is still alive. (2.6 is because there is no concept of human beings, so there is no corresponding deed and it is not within the normal consideration range)

368.

2023-10-06

Fujimaru Ritsuka was in a very bad state. Several days of staying up late and not having enough food had drained the girl's mental and physical strength.

During most of the escape, it was Altria who carried the girl on her back.

"I'm sorry, King..." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked haggard, her pale lips moving up and down: "I actually need to trouble you."

"I should be the one who is grateful." Altria said frankly, "I heard from Kai that you are not a citizen of Camelot and have not received any favor from me, but you are willing to cross time and space to come to Camelot to help."

When Kai was mentioned, although there was no change in her tone, Altria's eyes darkened.

Kai's sacrifice and Menechel's loss of contact were like a needle piercing Altria's heart, making her discouraged. But she could not be discouraged, as that would be a betrayal to Menechel and Kai.

She pursed her lips and her expression became cold, but she couldn't hide the anxiety emanating from her.

"It's not that great. If we leave it alone, human history and my era will be affected." Ritsuka Fujimaru tried to distract himself from the dizziness by chatting.

"Human history - I see, Camelot and Britain are part of human history."

Climbing on Altria's shoulder, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly caught a glimpse of the king's suddenly softened profile. She continued the other party's words and said: "Whether it is the king, Menechel, or all the Knights of the Round Table, they have become legendary figures."

Gathering around King Arthur for a common goal that we know is impossible, this kind of romance will still shine even if it ends in failure.

But in Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, which were just meant to boost morale, Artoria found a novel angle.

"Isn't Menechelle the Round Table?"

But on second thought, Altria looked thoughtful again.

"That's right. After all, according to the agreement, he and I were no longer the king and the knight at that time."

"Forehead……"

The dizziness suddenly stopped, but it was turning into pain.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know how to take up this topic. At this time, when she told King Arthur that Menechel died for Camelot, she remembered that Merlin had mentioned it to her in a storytelling tone.

——"When Artoria first heard the news of Menachere's death, she almost gave up on being the king and thought about going back to kill her enemy. That was the first and last time I saw her look full of hatred."

Although Merlin Laoden was exaggerating, there was no guarantee that the continuous blows would cause Altria to collapse.

"He... well, there is still a gap between him and the Knights of the Round Table."

Fujimaru Ritsuka just evaded the question and ended the topic to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, King. Even if Menachere is captured, Morgan probably won't kill him."

Based on Gai's experience and the fact that [Morgan captured Altria but only imprisoned her], it is probably impossible to summon the corresponding Servant of the [surviving person] in this singularity.

Although the words just now were perfunctory, there was one thing that Fujimaru Ritsuka did not lie about.

In his heyday, Menechel was truly extraordinary.

While he was thinking, a strange feeling came over him, as if his body suddenly passed through a thin film. The surrounding spirit particles suddenly became active, and the endless mountains on both sides suddenly receded. Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes suddenly became clear. A tall tower rose from the ground, rising from the flat grassland all the way to the sky, separating the sky and the earth like a pillar.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had no idea what a "tower" was, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"arrive."

Altria put Ritsuka Fujimaru down and helped the girl to stand up.

The pink flower fields extending out from the bottom of the tower and the surrounding green grass show distinct colors. As the wind blows the petals, you can clearly feel the abundant magic in them.

The chaotic brain seemed to be slightly clearer because of the fresh air. Fujimaru Ritsuka widened his eyes.

"here……"

Before she could think of any suitable words of praise from her meager vocabulary, the dress began to drip.

The magic gift suit established a connection with the earth veins the moment it sensed them.

A beam of fluorescent light shone from the red button on the chest, projecting a light screen in front of the two people.

"Finally we got in touch again."

Da Vinci couldn't wait to speak as soon as he appeared in the picture. She was obviously relieved. Since the communication in Camelot, the communication device has been kept closed until she felt the earth veins just now.

Da Vinci's ease came to an abrupt end when he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression.

"Lixiang, is everything okay over there?" Da Vinci frowned.

"It's okay, it's okay." Ritsuka Fujimaru forced herself to cheer up. She forced a smile and waved her hands to show that she was fine.

She didn't even have time to tell Da Vinci about her recent experiences before she quickly said, "I have found the spiritual vein."
