Chapter 67: Beauty Under the Moon
The effects of the evils of this world remain.
All sorts of negative emotions fill the whole mind, pain, anger, hatred, resentment, violence, despair, sorrow...... These chaotic and mixed malices are like distilling the most extreme dark side of the world.
They turned into extreme curses, making Xia Ran affected by these negative malices, and couldn't help but start to have some absurd thoughts in a trance, as if he couldn't help hating himself, hating the world, and hating all existence!
Kill everything, destroy everything, destroy everything...... The strong inclination for self-consciousness and the tendency to destroy other things made him a little unbearable.
But under the insistence of a strong enough mental will, he can only be said to be affected at the moment, but not controlled, but only has a schizophrenic, almost pathological feeling.
Enduring the chaos caused by the various malicious curses that still permeated his spiritual mind, as well as the residual effect of the whispering bewitchment of the Ebony Blade, Xia Ran returned to the Liudong Temple in Yuanzang Mountain as fast as he could.
"Master, why did you come back alone?" Medea couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw his suitability, but she seemed to understand something immediately, "Could it be ......?"
"That's right, that's what you think, so now you need to break the contract first......"
Xia Ran explained very calmly, after all, panic can't solve the problem, so you just need to follow the step-by-step process, you can come in time, and if you don't have time, let it be, this is also a helpless thing.
"According to the plan we agreed upon, transfer your contract to Sakura's."
"Understood, then I'll call that little girl out now, Master, you get ready first......"
Feeling the hurry of the Imperial Master, Medea also knew that the current situation might be a race against time, so she didn't say anything, her body disappeared directly into the air, and in this position of the Liudong Temple, the space transfer was very simple.
Xia Ran naturally didn't have any objection to this, he originally had this idea, but maybe he could do some other things at this time.
Turning his head to look at the leisurely swordsman holding the long knife at the door, he said straightforwardly, "Sasaki, do you have time now?" If I could, I'd like to ask about your "Yan Hui......"
"At this time?"
The swordsman guarding the door was slightly stunned at first, and subconsciously glanced at the deep night, but then he smiled slightly, as if he understood something, and nodded happily in agreement.
"Well, Master, if you feel it's necessary, of course I'll have time."
As he spoke, he put down the five-foot-long knife in his arms, and walked in through the mountain gate, entering the spacious courtyard of the field.
Speaking of which, if he directly kills Sasaki Kojiro at this time, then the skill scroll can also be exploded, and Xia Ran will save an A-level causal crystal, but it is also impossible for him to do this kind of thing
Although everyone is different about the bottom line, if you stick to it, it will always exist, and after you take the initiative to break it once, the bottom line will continue to lower until it is completely gone.
Because you can take the initiative to break the bottom line this time, the bottom line that has been lowered will be easier to be broken, and eventually it will naturally become a completely interest-only theory, no matter what is the bottom line...... Person.
The long knife swayed, and the breath released from it was neither murderous nor hostile.
"Master, you should know that you don't have a name under you, and you can't read or write, so you're not a person who still has the energy to have a name......"
Standing opposite Xia Ran, the ancient swordsman seemed to say this with emotion.
"Because it's hard to last long as a hypocritical Servant, I'm playing the role of Kojiro Sasaki, a nameless swordsman who is discarded when he runs out......"
"I've never thought of it like this......" Xia Ran on the other side frowned slightly, he had enough respect for the man in front of him who was born purely for the sword, because he knew that it was a great cause that he would never be able to accomplish.
For fifty years, he continued to wield a sword, and finally mastered the magic technique beyond the human realm as a human being.
"I know that you haven't thought about it that way, so ah, if there is one thing that makes sense for such a thing, it is ...... now," Sasaki Kojiro was still smiling calmly, "That's right, it's not Sasaki Kojiro, it's just that it's just the most suitable swordsman to wear this name." ”
"In the next place, it is only the undead who can use the secret sword of Sasaki Kojiro in the record, and it is only because of this that it is summoned...... But at least, this is indeed the secret sword that he has cultivated. ”
In a transparent voice, the swordsman said, staring at the Lord in front of him.
"Even if everything is meaningless, I don't even know myself, but if you really want to remember this sword and let it pass on, I don't think there is a better scene than this."
This fictional swordsman Ken Ming, who seems to have realized something, said this very seriously.
Tonight is the last exchange.
After that, it will probably be indefinite, because a nameless undead like him may not have a chance to be summoned again, and the one who was summoned is definitely not the current him.
“…… I understand, so this time, I will definitely remember this formula. Xia Ran nodded very cautiously and said.
"Very good...... the fictional swordsman smiled heartfelt and slowly took a stand with his long knife.
Magic Sword, Yan Hui.
The sword technique that transcends the realm of human beings and even reaches the realm of magic is the sword of Shura that challenges the gods and Buddhas with the body of a human being, and this magic sword does not allow defense or counterattack against non-god bodies.
The nameless swordsman, who gambled on the ultimate meaning honed by all his existence, bloomed at this moment.
It's just a single blow, but at the same time, it releases blades that depict different trajectories.
A slash from three directions that flashes from the real world, and then overlaps two flashes at the exact same time in defiance of the notion of time and space.
It is a "multi-dimensional twist phenomenon" that transcends elements such as speed, ingenuity, and false attack. Obviously just a nameless swordsman who doesn't even know magic and magic, although there are limitations, he has reached the realm of secondary magic.
"Do you see clearly? Master, do you need to show it again? ”
Exhaling softly, the swordsman looked at the magician in front of him.
Xia Ran didn't speak, closed his eyes as if he was seriously recalling the sword just now, and seemed to be digesting something, two seconds later, he opened his eyes again, pulled out the ebony blade, and then slowly put on the same posture.
Completely consistent, the standard is as if it has been tempered thousands of times, and every movement has been exercised to the extreme.
Seeing this, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes lit up slightly, and the next moment, he saw the magnificent and deadly magic sword that belonged to him from the perspective of a bystander!
“……”
“……”
"I don't know how I did it, but I can only say that there are still some deficiencies in my practice...... But if you can, I'd love to have a showdown with Master! ”
After a while, wearing an elegant shirt, the swordsman shrugged his shoulders and sighed as if nothing had happened: "It's a pity that now is really not the time, and I can't be so uninteresting." ”
Under the bright moonlight, the cold night breeze swayed the entire woods outside the temple.
The existence of this nameless swordsman was like a dream, and when the flowers and birds had stopped, and even the Void Moon had disappeared......
The magician put away his sword, experienced the realm of sword skills that had reached the height of magic, and said softly, "There will be a chance." ”
……
……
After completing everything on the side of Liudong Temple, Xia Ran finally relaxed a little, but then he heard a new prompt.
Although he opened his page and took a look, he found that the time of stay was still a question mark, and he didn't know what the reason was, but he still didn't give up this opportunity easily, so he quickly left Liudong Temple and continued to rush to the previous Xindumin Hall.
By this time, the battle was over.
Snowflakes were falling, and Saber fell limply on her knees on the snow, weeping bitterly, tears dripping onto her trembling hand armor.
As for the blood of the Berserker that slipped down the blade, it had evaporated without a trace at this moment because of the exit of the main master.
There was nothing left at the scene, after all, the Servant was just a demon-like existence that was summoned, and when the existence itself was destroyed, all the simulated physical phenomena were naturally reduced to pure spirit itself.
- It is clear that the winner is decided.
It's just that Saber couldn't bear the pain and self-blame, and couldn't help crying, knowing that he shouldn't have killed him, but he still killed him, even if at the last moment it was more like Lancelot himself hit the blade of the sword.
The girl whimpered, but she couldn't even make a sound, and she didn't allow herself to make even a little sound. In the last moments of facing the loyal knight, he could not even say a word of comfort to him, and now he has no right to cry.
While looking for a way to save the country, how many people's thoughts and troubles did you ignore?
Not to mention Lancelot, but also Gawain, who died heroically and heroically, and Galahad, who died in his mission, what were they thinking at the last moment? Are they equally remorseful and unwilling to die? Why didn't you think about it before?
The girl was crying silently, as if countless thorns had cut her heart in pain.
"Wouldn't I think that would be the best? He didn't actually hate you at all, he just wanted you to punish him personally......"
In the silence of Tang Ran's sudden visit, Xia Ran's voice sounded without warning, "He didn't get redemption until he died, you killed him with your own hands, but it freed him, so why be so sad?" ”
Saber didn't react, just knelt there with her head bowed and cried silently, what happened tonight hit her too hard.
First Alice Phil......
And then the truth of the Holy Grail......
And finally, Lancelot......
She even feels that her whole person has completely lost the meaning of existence, and even the direction of progress has been lost, she originally thought that she still had a miracle that could overturn her fate, as long as she could get the Holy Grail, she could make up for everything, and she could correct all her mistakes.
Even if you can't listen to people's hearts, even if you are reprimanded for being the king of solitude, it doesn't matter at all. As long as she can win for her hometown and her subjects with her own hands, this is what she asks of herself, and what she must do as a "king".
But now, there is nothing......
Then, when should a person who has committed a sin in the past suffer the retribution that he deserves for that sin?
Xia Ran sighed, looked at the empty surroundings, and then turned around and walked away, leaving Saber some personal space, he didn't expect his mouth cannon to be able to wake up this obsessed knight king at once.
If she could untie the knot in her heart with a few words of casual comfort, she would not refuse her own salvation and end up like this.
And the most important thing is that he himself has encountered a little problem-
It seems that the time of stay has not changed much from just now to now, so that he has made two trips back and forth, and after explaining everything as quickly as possible...... But it hasn't started to return yet.
Doesn't the inhibition force exclude itself at this time?
didn't understand what was going on, he just walked around aimlessly, wanting to see if he could find the key that Yan Feng Qili burst out by the way.
Those two people should have been killed by an overdose of black mud, because in the original plot, the black mud just drizzled on them like a drizzle, but now it is pouring down like a waterfall.
Anyway, Xia Ran had no way to determine whether those two people died from the indiscriminate sweep of Saber's holy sword or from the black mud according to the prompts of the space...... But it's not bad.
Anyway, it was all his cause and effect, the liberation of the Holy Sword was caused by his spell, and the Holy Grail was summoned in advance and black mud flowed out, which was also caused by him killing Gilgamesh.
However, just now, Xia Ran only found the bloody key of Emiya Kiritsugu, from which he opened the magic mark of the Emiya family and the origin bomb, and now he came back and got the key to Lancelot, but as for the key to Yanfeng Qili, he didn't know where he was rushed.
Although there is nothing to say, at most it is Baji Boxing, and magic crystals such as spells, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and Xia Ran is idle now, so I want to look for it and see if I can find it.
However, it is estimated that it is very suspenseful, the blood key is neither matter nor energy, it is something that only the lost themselves can see, and it does not even have a specific breath and energy response, neither spiritual power nor breath perception can do anything...... And the area of ruins around it is too large.
With this in mind, he walked slowly on the snow until he saw a figure appear in front of him.
In the silent white night, the beautiful figure stood quietly in a place where it could not be distinguished, looking at the direction of the stars.
"Good evening."
Seeing his appearance, the girl in the kimono seemed to have known him for a long time, and a soft smile appeared on her face. The tone of voice greeted naturally, as if the two were friends who had been friends for many years.
It must be because of the beautiful snow.
Even strangers who have never known each other can't help but want to have fun with them.
