The aura of magic was approaching, and Xia Ran thought it was who it was at first, but after carefully distinguishing it, he found that it was a familiar violent aura.

Jian Tong Yan will bring Berserker to support at night, which Xia Ran did not expect, but if you think about it carefully, it is also very reasonable.

Medea will definitely pay attention to the battle that is taking place here, and after making sure that Gilgamesh is indeed here, and not attacking the Liudong Temple, she will definitely take action, but the only one who is suitable to come to support is Berserker.

As for Kojiro Sasaki...... How to say it, this one does not have a treasure that can be decisive to deal with such an occasion, and it is also inseparable from the mountain gate, no matter how you look at it, there are no conditions to be sent over to support.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, but the objective conditions really don't allow it.

Of course, it's a bit belated to come over now, Xia Ran thought about it, and found that the only thing that could be done was to satisfy Berserker's wish to participate in this Holy Grail War-

Let him die by Saber's sword.

Ahem, that's right, this is definitely the main purpose, Xia Ran is mainly for Lancelot's wish...... Although given that Saber is currently his servant, if Berserker is killed by her, he will also be able to get a reward "by the way".

Just like when he killed Gilgamesh before, in fact, it doesn't matter if Xia Ran can't go up to make up the knife, just wait quietly for that guy to die, anyway, he will get the rewards that should be obtained, and the key that should be exploded will still burst out......

As I should have said a long time ago, the judgment of space on the cause and effect of the actions of the lost is very complicated, and it is not just a matter of looking at the superficial form, and the act of snatching someone's head and inflicting the final blow on the enemy really does not make much sense.

Accomplish something alone in your own right......

Use your wits to accomplish something......

The former directly achieves the goal with its own strength and changes the plot without external force, while the latter starts with the aboriginal forces of the mission world and exerts influence from all aspects, and finally changes the plot...... As long as the result is the same and changes the plot, then there is no difference in cause and effect.

Of course, Xia Ran didn't know about it, and he didn't just think about it now, but he just thought-

Cutting off the head of the rabid dog with his own hands was also a rare pleasure, so he went up to mend the knife at that time, even if it was again, he would choose this way.

"What?"

Saber was stunned, a little puzzled why this person suddenly brought up this topic.

"I mean, there's no time left, and I'm going to leave this world, so you can't really stay either...... So do you want to try to solve this problem at this last moment? ”

Xia Ran stared at the knight girl's emerald green eyes and said seriously.

"You didn't think you had to face it, and that if you found the Holy Grail, you would be able to change all the mistakes you made, right? But now that the Holy Grail is gone, if your wish is to be fulfilled, the Holy Grail alone can't do it, don't you want to learn about his obsession? ”

"I ......"

The knight girl bit her lower lip tightly, and for a while she rarely looked a little flustered, as if she was at a loss.

"Forget it, it's okay if you really don't want to, I just think it's better to seize this opportunity than to regret why I didn't face it at the time and figure out what the hell is going on......

Xia Ran looked at her expression for a moment, and then smiled, but she didn't continue to persecute.

If Saber really didn't want to face such a thing, then he wouldn't have forced it, and he certainly wouldn't have killed Berserker himself.

Because Lancelot originally hoped to die under the sword of the Knight King, if on the premise of being able to fulfill this wish, while fulfilling his wish, Xia Ran easily reaped an additional reward, then this would naturally be the best......

- But if it doesn't work, then forget it, he won't force it.

"So, Master, remove your illusions......"

At this time, the knight girl seemed to have made up her mind, and said in a low voice.

"You're right, I can't continue to escape, I still have to face it......"

She looked at the figures approaching in the distance of the flames and ruins, and her expression became firm, but it was only superficially firm, forcing herself to face it, and there was still a trace of fear and apprehension in the deepest part of her eyes.

Xia Ran didn't answer, but in the next moment-

“URRRRRRRR——！！”

There was a grumbling that sounded like the groans of the dead beneath the darkness.

Immediately after that, the black mad knight spotted his target at once, and accelerated through the air with an incomparably furious speed, tearing through the atmospheric roar of his pass.

Boom!

The wind spread out in all directions, violently stirring the Black Knight's cloak and Saber's hair.

The Sword of Oath Victory, which took the initiative to meet it, was blocked by a furious unarmed attack, without the protection of the Wind King's enchantment, because it was not needed, even if the sword body was hidden through the Wind King's enchantment, the black knight in front of him could still catch the holy sword she waved with his bare hands.

Feeling the tremendous power coming from the sword, even though she was using the holy sword against the unarmed enemy, Artoria did not have any advantage, but was blocked by the black knight with her bare hand.

Deeply aware of the deadly danger of being touched by Berserker's weapon, Saber threw all his strength into the chest of the Black Knight, who could not resist and retreated and released the sword, the magic of abomination before it could be transformed.

As both sides stepped back, Saber gritted his teeth, then made up his mind and shouted to the black knight opposite—

"Unknown knight, since you recognize me as the king of Britain and challenge me, you should report your origin in the glory of knighthood!"

“……”

“……”

The black wraith that was about to continue its furious rush paused for a moment, and the next moment, he let out a grumbling laugh that seemed to be a beast crying or a knight choking.

Then he reached for the hilt of the sword in the scabbard at his waist, which was neither to be picked up nor to be snatched. This heroic spirit, who has always concealed his name, is finally about to reveal his own treasure.

The moment Artoria blurted out that words, she realized that something was wrong, and it seemed that the truth was more difficult to bear than she had imagined.

But the splashing water was hard to contain, and she could only stare helplessly as the black resentful spirit slowly pulled out the treasure in the scabbard, and her whole body slowly trembled.

She couldn't go wrong, the design of the sword was exactly the same as her own holy sword.

As an elven inscription forged by inhuman hands, the sharp blade reflects like a lake of light under the moon, and it is an indestructible sword that will never be destroyed by any blow.

The sword was only entitled to him as the "Perfect Knight", and its name was "The Light of the Indestructible Lake", which was a better proof of the bearer's true name than self-proclaimed.

If she still wants to deceive herself and thinks that this is not enough-

Then, the pitch-black magic that was diffusing around the black knight's body also rolled up like a whirlpool like mist and began to shrink, without the interference of the black mist, the pitch-black armor finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

It is neither glamorous nor vulgar, but it is the perfect combination of functional beauty and magnificence. The craftsman has done his best to cast it with great attention to detail to make it appear both powerful and sophisticated. Even the countless scars on it have become carvings to show his great military exploits, adding to its brave demeanor.

Artoria also knew the brave man who had galloped into battle in that armor, and that man was a peerless swordsman who was more brilliant than anyone else, a knight and a loyal warrior who was more brilliant than anyone else, even among the Knights of the Round Table of Camelot.

"How can you ......" muttered to herself, revealing the weakness hidden in the girl's heart.

I really hope that I am wrong, that person should be the ideal embodiment of the knight's true appearance, how could he become a dark figure eroded by the mad curse...... She originally thought that she was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that the real body of this black knight was actually that person.

Even if you are a hero, you will end up losing the minimum glory.

- In the past, someone had told her that.

So, did the curse start from that time?

"Ah......h

Saber only felt that his knees were weak, and the unyielding knight king forgot himself out of despair, and suddenly fell to his knees on the snow, and hot tears welled up,

"Are you so ...... Hate me so much, my friend? Do you hate me so much even if you become like that, Lancelot? ”

This is the girl who kept her glory until the end and fought to the end for her honor-

The moment of defeat.

The fallen Black Knight raised the sword of resentment, and it was no longer known which path was the right one.

The only thing that is certain is that the remorse that has been brought into the coffin has been extracted at the end of the long river of time, and it torments him for eternity and eternity on the throne of Valhalla, which has no beginning and no end.

Then, at last, he heard a call from afar.

Come on, berserk beast.

Come on, obsessive wraith.

—a voice from the end of time called.

The voice awakened his long-standing desire if he were not a knight at all; If he is a shameless and unreasonable beast; If he is a demon who has fallen into the way of animals......

Then, maybe you can wash away this regret.

Yes, that's right, that's it, only madness is the path to salvation.

This desire became the basis for connecting him to the end of time, which is why he is now called "Berserker".

There is nothing to regret, to fall for it, and then to be liberated as a raging beast, which is what he himself seeks.

……

……

Xia Ran didn't stay, but after disarming the illusion spell applied to Lancelot, he turned around and left the battlefield directly.

Because the next battle has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't know how much time is left, he can only go with the flow and let it go...... Of course, hard work still has to be hard, and if the countdown is obviously not in time, he will naturally give up.

But the face still seems to be a "??? During the stay time, Xia Ran inevitably felt that he could still be rescued.

First, he briefly explained a few words to the distant Matong Yanye, and quickly explained some things, and then he rushed to the direction of Yanudong Temple as fast as he could, walking directly in a straight line, and quickly crossing the night sky in the snowy night of Fuyuki City, which had just experienced a huge gas explosion.
