The Truth Behind the Holy Grail War
He lowered the longsword he had raised.
Perhaps, only this tainted light suits him better...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've soiled your sword."
Lancelot glanced gently at the Black Saber in the distance, then closed his eyes.
"Tsk!"
Black Saber clicked her tongue and quickly turned around.
Bang!
The black torrent suddenly plunged down, landing right next to Lancelot.
"Your Majesty, why..."
Unable to find the salvation he desired, Lancelot questioned frantically.
Why should you forgive me?!
"Someone like me doesn't deserve your pity at all!"
"Are you just going to leave like that? You bastard!"
Saber arrived in front of Lancelot in an instant.
Raise your hands
With a loud "thump," a fist landed squarely on Lancelot's face.
The force was so great that Lancelot spat out a tooth.
"Cough cough!"
"I am not her, I will not pity her, I will destroy her, but..." Black Saber threw another punch.
"Take responsibility! You coward!"
"Just leaving like this, making me feel depressed? How wonderful of you!"
Black Saber dropped Sword of Promised Victory and mounted Lancelot.
Lancelot delivered punch after punch vertically.
"King..."
"Don't you dare call me King, I'm not worthy!"
"So violent..." Eiri covered her mouth slightly, her face blank.
Is the corrupted Saber really that terrifying?
Ling Yuan gave an awkward rather than polite smile.
After Lancelot was almost gathered up.
[Heavenly Hand Power] was activated, instantly switching positions.
"?!"
Before Saber could react, he stuck the ahoge (cowlick) he was holding into it.
"Ling Yuan, you... bastard!"
In the end, Black Saber only managed to utter a few words before losing consciousness.
Looking at Saber lying in his arms, Ling Yuan witnessed firsthand what the "clothes-changing and color-changing magic" was all about.
"Are you alright?" Looking at Lancelot lying on the ground, his teeth chattering away, Ling Yuan silently mourned for him for a second.
"Thank you, Wang. Your words have made me much more clear-headed."
Lancelot got up from the ground.
Ling Yuan placed a hand on Lancelot's shoulder, helping him stabilize the attributes of BERSERKER.
"Thanks."
Feeling the urge he had been suppressing disappear, Lancelot thanked him.
What are your plans next?
"I... want to atone for my sins, but it seems that she already has someone more suitable than me by her side."
Lancelot looked at Saber in Ling Yuan's arms with a tender expression.
"Although the king appears tough on the surface, he actually longs for family affection more than anyone else, so I'm entrusting him to you in the days to come."
"Don't worry," Ling Yuan nodded.
"Lancelot, dear..." a murmured voice rang out.
"SABER is awake."
Saber, who had just gotten down from Ling Yuan's arms, looked at Lancelot's bruised and swollen face and asked curiously, "Lancelot, what happened to your face?"
"..."
Lancelot: "Your Majesty, please don't concern yourself with these details."
Suddenly, Lancelot's body froze.
It actually started to collapse.
"Lancelot!"
"Looks like it's time."
"What time is it?"
"Thank you for allowing me to speak with the King again." Lancelot smiled gently at Ling Yuan.
"Matou Kariya is dead, which means Lancelot is going to disappear."
After a moment of silence, Saber asked, "Lancelot, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
Lancelot was taken aback, then his expression softened, and he said softly, "My king, one thing I am certain of is that you are the greatest king, and everyone firmly believes in your authority..."
Chapter 225 The Truth of the Holy Grail War
"My king, my time is running out. In the end, I hope you can give me the final blow."
Lancelot picked up the fallen holy sword and handed it to Saber.
The previous ferocity and malevolence were gone.
His gentle smile and handsome face made everyone understand what it meant to be the Knight of the Lake.
"Lancelot, my dear..." Saber's hand, gripping the holy sword, trembled uncontrollably.
Ling Yuan placed his hand on Saber's shoulder and whispered, "Give him his wish. This is the Knight of the Lake's last wish."
"My king, in my memory you are a great king, the king who guides us Knights of the Round Table. You have never wavered, nor do you need to now." Lancelot looked at SBAER tenderly.
SABER clenched her teeth.
He gripped the longsword tightly in his hand.
Despite my reluctance, I did it in response...
Saber lowered her head and said something.
Goodbye, Lancelot!
Tsk~
The next moment, Excalibur pierced Lancelot's body.
"Thank you, our king..."
Lancelot, resting his head on Saber's shoulder, looked relieved.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time...
Lancelot's body began to dissipate into golden specks of light.
The dark, menacing aura around him vanished, and at the moment of parting, Lancelot revealed his true form.
He raised his head, looked at Ling Yuan, and smiled gently, "Your Majesty, I entrust this to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lancelot vanished completely.
After Lancelot disappeared, Saber collapsed to the ground, her body pressed against the holy sword.
Ling Yuan looked at Saber, who was bowing her head and gripping the holy sword tightly, and gently rubbed her head.
This time, there was no resistance.
"Don't be sad. You heard it too. In his heart, you are the greatest king," Ling Yuan comforted him.
Bang!
The holy sword that had just pierced Lancelot fell heavily to the ground.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
"Ah!"
Saber, like a little girl, cried loudly towards the sky.
Helplessness, confusion, and bewilderment made her seem nothing like the perfect queen of legend.
"SABER." Eiri knelt down and gently embraced Saber.
Saber expressed her regret through crying.
No one would feel good about personally executing their most trusted subordinate, let alone Saber, who blames all the sins on herself.
Following ASSASSIN, Kirei Kotomine arrived at the sewer area.
In the dark sewers, he saw a man lying in a pool of blood.
"What a pathetic man."
Looking at the lifeless man, Kirei Kotomine shook his head and uttered a mocking remark.
After taking away Matou Kariya's three Command Seal, Kirei Kotomine left.
Shortly after Kirei Kotomine left, the Imaginary Space opened.
Ling Yuan walked out from inside.
He looked at the already dead Matou Kariya with a calm expression.
Upon noticing the latter's bare hand, he frowned. "Are we late?"
The body of Matou Kariya was wrapped in the Chains of Heaven and brought into the Imaginary Space.
Because of the destruction of the Matou Family, Tohsaka Aoi didn't know where to build a grave for Matou Kariya after seeing his body.
I decided to buy a burial plot next to Tohsaka Tokiomi's tombstone.
Hopefully, the two can reconcile.
Of course, Sakuya didn't know about this.
It's not too late to tell her these things later.
Five days have passed since the Holy Grail War began.
Both BERSERKER and CASTER have now left the scene.
Just as Ling Yuan was pondering.
"Forehead!"
Suddenly, Eiri's expression changed, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Eiri, what's wrong?"
Saber was startled and quickly went over.
"No, it's nothing."
