I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

In fact, Shenji's worries were completely unnecessary. No one present would care about his seven-year-old appearance.

There are so many things in the mysterious world that go against common sense. Saber herself had her physical age fixed by The Sword in the Stone. Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel's daughter Ilyasviel was also severely delayed in physical development. At eight years old, she looked only three or four years old, with an extra appearance. Children who are not in line with their mental age are too normal.

Realizing that the Saber camp did not look down on him because of his physical age, Shinji quickly calmed down and said to Scathach: "Master, what do you mean-"

"The Holy Grail has no value to you, but it still has value to us, and that is the glory of being a warrior - this is the Holy Grail War, a war with only one winner, and only the winner can get the honor of destroying the Holy Grail. "

At this moment, Scathach didn't have her usual intelligence, and her red eyes didn't have the calm wisdom. She was like a ball of flame, a flame that completely ignited herself and the surroundings for the battle.

"This is a warrior's wish. I believe you can understand it, and so can Saber."

Saber held the golden holy sword and said nothing, but her stern expression already showed that she hoped to win or lose with the legendary Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.

"As you please."

Seeing such a scene, Shinji knew that it was useless to stop him, so he could only smile bitterly and said to Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

"Please don't stop Saber, just let them have a good fight. This is a small reward for fighting for us so far."

Emiya Kiritsugu was expressionless and noncommittal. He only said: "The mud is almost overflowing the altar."

"Don't worry." Scathach pointed both guns at the ground at the same time, "Before that, the winner has been decided."

"That's right." Saber left Irisviel's side, "Irisviel and Master, I promised you to obtain the Holy Grail, now let me fulfill my promise."

"Saber, please bring me victory." Irisviel looked at Saber's back, her heart inexplicably surged, and she once again said the words she said the night she arrived in Fuyuki City.

Saber also answered with the same words: "Yes, I will - I swear to this sword that it will definitely bring victory! Awaken, Assassin!"

"It's you who should wake up, Saber, I'll take your heart!"

A cold air rolled up around Scathach's body, and with the two magic guns as the center, the magic swirled and roared, covering Scathach's entire body with a coat of flame.

Saber raised her sword and stared at Scathach closely. She knew that her opponent was about to release the Noble Phantasm, and the sense of crisis in her heart reached its peak in an instant.

"Thrust——"

Just like in a movie, the moment Scathach uttered the first word, he kicked the ground with his left foot and appeared in front of the girl as if he was teleporting.

The magic spear in his right hand stabbed towards the girl's feet.

That seemed to be a very stupid move. The gun was obviously tilted downwards and attacked further towards the feet, which was useless against Saber.

Just when the Saber girl jumped over the spear and stepped forward with the intention of cutting down Scathach, she suddenly saw in front of her eyes the scene of herself being nailed by the magic spear and then pierced through the heart.

"puncture--"

At the same time, the second word escaped from Scathach's lips, and the gun thrust downwards suddenly changed its trajectory and thrust towards Saber's left shoulder in an impossible shape.

"——!?"

Saber's body was bounced away by the gun, and her whole body, including her body and gun, drew a huge parabola toward the ground - no, she did not land. Saber's body was fixed at the highest point of the parabola.

After succeeding with the first shot, Scathach then stabbed out the second shot. He bent his left arm and raised the gun over his shoulder. This was a standard gun throwing posture. The tip of the gun was naturally aimed at Saber, who was unable to move in mid-air.

"Gáe Bolg Alternative!"

Scathach finally liberated the true name of the Noble Phantasm. In the words containing powerful magic power, the magic spear in his left hand was like a red lightning, piercing the night sky.

This shot, like the previous one, was aimed at an insignificant place, but in mid-air, the magic gun changed its trajectory again, automatically locking on Saber's heart, as if it was an outcome that had already been decided. No matter what the process was, it would definitely happen. arrive.

This is the terrifying thing about Scathach's Noble Phantasm Gáe Bolg Alternative (Spear of Death) - the reversal of cause and effect.

Everything has a cause and an effect, but the spear that penetrates Death completely subverts this. Before the magic spear was pierced, the results of "piercing the shoulder" and "piercing the heart" had already been achieved. Now that the result is determined, the process will naturally evolve towards the established result. What the magic spear changes is not the trajectory at all, but the target of the hit. process.

This is a magic gun capable of breaking through all kinds of defenses.

The fate of the opponent is determined when attacking. No matter how the enemy avoids it, the cursed gun will definitely hit as long as it is used!

Who can block such a ridiculous blow?

That’s why it’s a must-kill!

But——Saber blocked it.

The red lightning, the curse that must penetrate the heart, is expelled by the golden light.

It was the same as the Kingdom of Shadows where Scathach was, a glory that did not belong to this world. It was the glory of the most precious treasure in the legend of King Arthur.

Before the cursed magic spear arrives, Saber plays her last trump card.

What was cast and scattered before her eyes was the unique sheath of the holy sword, the true form of the legend that King Arthur could not be harmed.

I don't know what kind of mysterious weaving method, but the sheath completely protected against the cursed magic spear.

No, this is not defense, it is interruption!

Saber, protected by the sheath of the Holy Sword, was cut off from all truth in the world for just that moment.

The strongest protection in the world, the ultimate wall that cannot even be reached by the five major magics, and that no one can infringe upon.

"Avalon!"

Therefore, Sheath is called "the ideal land of independence from the world".

King Arthur can finally reach the ideal land that other kings dream of but cannot reach before he dies.

The only way to crack the reversal of cause and effect is to make the "effect" disappear.

Saber, protected by the "Utopia of Independence from the World", is in another space, a space that the magic gun can never reach.

There is no result, and the process that exists to prove the result naturally ceases to exist. The magic gun in mid-air trembles twice, and the gun head turns along the track it came from, and automatically returns to the hands of Scathach as the "cause". Everything They will all return to the state before the second spear was thrust out - if there is no Saber present.

Before the magic gun returned, Tsing Yi flashed.

Saber's body was unarmored. She removed the armor that protected her, and the magic flowed into the sword in her hand——

"Ex——(Oath——)"

"Well done-"

Scathach's admiring expression was right in front of him.

"——calibur (Sword of Victory)!"

With a single blow, the Holy Sword cut open the Demon Realm Queen's body and destroyed her spiritual core.
