Dark Saber Descends

She could sense that this man wasn't lying...

"Um?"

Sensing someone approaching, Kevin curiously looked up, frowned upon seeing the person, and exclaimed in surprise, "SABER?"

"Hello, Mr. Kevin." Saber nodded.

"Is there something you need?"

Kevin nodded, put away the book in his hand, and said calmly.

"Ling Yuan sent me here, saying that you can answer some questions for me."

"Ling Yuan?"

"Go ahead and ask."

After thinking for a while, Kevin realized he didn't have anything else to do, so he just said it.

Having received a reply, Saber slowly spoke, "You should know that I am Artoria Pendragon, the King of Knights of Great Britain."

"Um."

"But my country was destroyed by my own hand... So I joined the Holy Grail War, hoping to wish upon the Holy Grail to return to the moment of choosing the King."

"You mean, you want to start over?"

After listening to Saber's words, Kevin frowned.

"Yes!"

"Start over? If life could start over, would the outcome be different?" Kevin seemed lost in memories.

The long-sealed memories are slowly being unlocked.

Since Mei's death, he has completely frozen his emotional side.

Absolute rationality compelled him to act.

Chapter 206 Black Saber Arrives

Looking at Kevin, Saber suddenly understood why Ling Yuan had sent her to find Kevin.

The other person may have had a similar experience to her.

However, Kevin's words made her pause.

"Your wish is beautiful, but too naive."

"What?" Saber paused, then asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Kevin crossed his arms, his expression calm. "Time is irreversible. If it were, the price to pay would be immeasurable."

Are you prepared to destroy the civilization that humanity has developed over the past thousand years?

Kevin narrowed his eyes and looked at her seriously.

"I..."

Are you prepared to kill the present and start all over again?

Saber was bewildered.

She had seen life now, and compared to the era she lived in, it was undoubtedly Gensokyo.

Changing the past means changing the future.

No one can predict the future.

Must we bring war back to the world because of her selfishness?

"Think about it carefully. Although I once wished I could do it all over again."

"But that's just being cowardly and stuck in the past. She won't allow it, they won't allow it, and I won't allow it either! In this new era, I will move forward for her and for them!" Kevin looked at his palm and clenched it tightly.

Bearing the hopes of an entire generation, he was destined to never turn back.

Saber fell silent, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

Unlike her, this man, though he also had regrets, did not choose to turn back, but instead continued to move forward.

Like pioneers, even if their hearts are already broken, they will hide everything.

View the world with absolute rationality.

Thinking about it, Saber chuckled softly.

What is she thinking?

He knew Britain would perish the moment he drew the holy sword.

Saber sighed; Kevin was right, she was naive.

There are some things that she cannot change, no matter how hard she tries to avoid them.

Even the perfect king can lose the hearts of the people because of this.

With her eyes closed, she recalled the blood-stained Sunset Hill in her mind.

"A king who doesn't understand people's hearts?" Saber opened her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and chuckled softly.

He dedicated everything to the country, but neglected the situation around him.

It's simply impossible to change.

Ling Yuan looked at the silent Saber and Kevin without saying a word.

Saber is the ideal king, while Kevin is an absolutely rational being.

Both are ideal beings, but there is one difference between them.

Saber's actions are becoming increasingly like those of a saint.

But before he became absolutely rational, Kevin was an ordinary person with emotions. In the battle of the Fire Chasers, he witnessed the ugliness of human nature.

Only through true experience can one understand and embrace the ugliness and flaws of human nature.

Artoria's ideal is very pure and simple; she wants to create an ideal kingdom.

Her method of achieving this is to become invincible and forever protect and save her kingdom and her people.

She consistently did the right thing, and was unafraid to sacrifice for her ideals.

At this moment, Ling Yuan walked over.

"SABER".

"Hmm?" Saber opened her eyes and asked curiously.

"SABER, I know that the moment you drew the Holy Sword, you already knew the fate of Britain."

"But unfortunately, your idea was impossible to realize from the very beginning."

"Why?" Saber was taken aback.

She just wanted to make the process as smooth as possible.

That's why she wanted to change her past as a queen, believing that this would reduce the suffering of the people.

"Because during the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail, which absorbed the soul of Angra Mainyu, the 'All the World's Evil,' was completely corrupted."

Under Saber's puzzled gaze, Ling Yuan continued:

"Making a wish is still possible, but it can be extremely extreme. For example, if you want to restore peace to the world, then the Holy Grail's answer would be to just kill all of humanity."

"How could this be..." Saber's pupils shrank as she looked at Ling Yuan in disbelief.

Kevin also frowned.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

Looking at Ling Yuan, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. No wonder he said those things.

Ling Yuan silently met Saber's gaze and spoke:

"If you really make a wish on the Holy Grail, although we don't know how it will come true, it will definitely be full of malice."

"So..."

Ling Yuan reached out his hand.

"Don't think about fulfilling your wishes through the Holy Grail."

With a flick of her finger, the ahoge (cowlick) on Saber's head twitched.

"!"

The previously silent Saber suddenly became like a frightened bird.

He subconsciously drew the Sword of Promised Victory and pointed it at Ling Yuan.

"Uh, calm down, calm down."

Ling Yuan broke out in a cold sweat as a sword was pointed at him.

"There must be no next time!"

Saber gave a soft snort and sheathed the Sword of Promised Victory.

He subconsciously touched the tuft of hair on his forehead.

This is the soul of our soul! What if it gets destroyed by a bomb?

Seeing Saber's actions, Ling Yuan chuckled and said, "How about this, Saber, to make up for my loss just now, I'll tell you something, okay?"

"What is it?" Saber asked, startled as she put down the Sword of Promised Victory.

"For example, how do you feel about the fact that Berserker is Lancelot?"

"What?!"

Saber's pupils contracted.

She took a sudden step forward, staring intently at Ling Yuan: "What did you just say?"

"Now!"

A glint flashed in Ling Yuan's eyes.

He suddenly reached out and, as if taking something out of a bag, grabbed the ahoge (cowlick) on Saber's head.

Today, he's going to liberate Black Saber!

Before Saber could react, Ling Yuan exerted force.

This is the time for calamity to befall Heaven!

Bang!

The next second, a terrifying force spread outwards.

"What's wrong?!"

Eiri, who was playing with Xiao Li, felt the earth tremble and exclaimed in surprise.

The others also showed wary expressions.

Golden light condensed in the void, and on the roof of the Tohsaka Residence, Golden Flash stared intently at the center of the dark vortex.

"Um?"

At the same time, whether they were sitting at home, wandering outside, lurking, or spying in the dark, they all turned their gazes to one place upon feeling the explosive power in the void.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi!" A roar echoed in the darkness.

Buzz~

A pair of scarlet pupils emerged from the darkness.

The hunt is about to begin!

Einsbern Castle

"What happened?"
