Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 1018 Thank you, sorry.

After watching Hercules leave, Shinji walked up to Scathach and raised his hand to draw a healing rune.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I didn't die this time."

Scathach slowly stood up straight while speaking exaggerated words in a complaining tone.The wound on the shoulder is no longer bleeding, I don't know how she dealt with it.

"Don't be too aggressive at this time."

Shen Er put one hand on Master's shoulder, and the other on her waist, it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hug her like a princess.

But before exerting his force, Skaha opened one of Shen Er's hands with his uninjured hand, and said angrily: "I'm not that weak yet."

Shen Er looked at the arm that bounced back, and touched his nose with it: "I almost forgot that the master is a queen, and it's not suitable to be hugged by a princess. How about I carry you on my back, or I can carry you if I can't."

This kind of deliberately pretending innocence naturally attracted Skaha's eyes: "Put away your ghost ideas, don't think I don't know what you are thinking?"

"Well, I admit that my mind is not that pure, but Master, you are indeed injured and cannot move. This disciple cannot leave you alone."

"You don't need to worry about it, have you forgotten? I am a follower now, and I can transform into a spirit body. No matter how serious the injury is, it will not affect my activities."

"..." Shen Er's expression froze suddenly.Damn, how did I forget about turning into a spirit body, not being restricted by physical rules means not being affected by injuries, and it also saves mana, which is the best way to recover from injuries.

The complaints in her heart did not hide from Skaha's insightful eyes, she stretched out her finger and poked Shen Er's forehead, complained angrily and funnyly: "You...I really don't know what to say about you. You are still talking nonsense to me here, where is the person you are looking for?"

"Ahad...Damn it, he ran away!"

Hearing what the master said, Shen Er realized that the old guy who had been guarded by Hercules had disappeared.It is estimated that when the building was demolished by himself, the blockade was lifted, and Ahad took the opportunity to run out.

Perhaps Hercules' last battle with all his strength also meant to buy time for the Master. A hero is a hero no matter what time it is.

"Master, can you confirm his location?"

"In the direction of the back mountain, I didn't go far. It's too late to chase now."

"Okay, I'll go after it!"

Shen Er immediately poured magic power into his feet, just took half a step, stopped again, turned his head and asked.

"Master, are you really alright by yourself?"

"No problem, go ahead, that thing is important to you and Justesa, isn't it?"

Scathach's face was pale, but he still smiled and waved.

"Well, rest well, I'll be back soon.

The steps I took finally landed, and the white clothes broke through the air, and they disappeared in a flash.

When Shen Er's figure completely disappeared, the Queen of the Demon Realm lowered her arms, and her body fell backward as if she had lost her center of gravity. The blood that had been stagnated rushed out again, and there was a trace of weakness in her deep and strong eyes.

Even so, she was still laughing with a strong sense of sarcasm, she didn't know if she was mocking her disciples or herself.

"I still can't see, Shinji. I am now, what do you really want to do, I can't resist at all. Hehe, I am really lazy, I actually have such thoughts... When will these days end... ...death...the end...Setante...Shinji..."

His eyes were closed, and his voice was murmured, barely audible.

◇◇◇

"Ha, ho, ho, ho—!"

Breathing like a beast, Ahad wandered in the forest.

No, in fact he was walking along the exact route, but his mood seemed to be lost.

For this body that only cares about fleeing for life, the word hesitation is the most appropriate expression.

Of course, with Einzbern's style, Ahad probably didn't realize that he was departing from the central program of the castle, the rules set by Golem Jubstacheit, the father of all androids.

The gap between the cognition of winning and the reality of leaving the battle not long after the start made his emotional fluctuations become more and more severe, and it also made him, who had suppressed his inner emotions for 200 years, finally begin to change into a human being.

"Damn—why did it become like this?"

Pushing aside the branches with one hand, he trampled on the wet soil and ran.

Leaving bloodstains on the road, the old man proceeded along the pre-planned back road.

Although it is the highest-level artificial human produced by Jubstacheit, his strengthening direction is magic power and lifespan, and his physical function is not outstanding, and it can even be said to be fragile.When escaping from the collapsing villa, he was hit by gravel a few times as a matter of course, and suffered serious injuries.

"Ha ho, ho, ah!"

I can no longer lift my left shoulder, and my right foot is also limping.Only one hand and one foot could not walk properly, and the foot slipped and fell to the tree.

In the current situation, it won't be long before my wounds will fester, which in turn will affect the entire body function, so it may lead to death.

A certain emotion gradually boiled in the heart of the numb walking old man, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Cough ha ha, ha ha ha ha."

For no reason, inexplicable laughter, cough-like laughter, hysterical.

"Isn't this the same as the third time, obviously well prepared, but in the end it didn't come in handy at all."

Smiling and laughing, the high-pitched emotions soon fell down again.

"...In this way, isn't it even inferior to those two traitors?"

No matter what attitude you take towards Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, you can't hide the fact that they successfully reached the end in the last Holy Grail War, became the victors, and took the Holy Grail...

Thinking of this, the old man's heart was burning with nameless anger, which made his whole body tingle, as if his whole body was broken.

"Why? Why did you give up the hard-won victory? Why did you give up your wishes? Was everything you said before false?"

He doesn't understand, doesn't understand, doesn't understand.

"I'll never understand what you say. I only know you who obey orders, the doll of the central program Jubstacheit."

The sudden sound made Ahad stop, and a man appeared in his blurred vision at some point.

Thin figure, black windbreaker, and indifferent expression, just like when he came to the castle 20 years ago.

"Emiya...Kiritsugu." Gritting his teeth, the old man read out the name that he personally nailed on the pillar of shame.

"Long time no see, Ahadeon."

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at that old face, his eyes were as complicated as the expression of the old man.

"What are you doing here?"

"Come to thank and apologize. Thank you for letting me meet Irisviel and Illya. I'm sorry, for their safety, I have to kill you."

The trench coat fluttered with the wind, and the former cold-blooded killer raised his gun.
