Final Trial of Mankind

Then he began to try to change the various techniques he had mastered, not pure physical techniques, but some kind of mysterious secret techniques.

Of course, if Mu Chen did the same thing as the above two, then because the laws of each world are different, his sword skills might become ordinary again in another world!

Therefore, in order to avoid this ending, Mu Chen decided to develop all his moves on the same path as the time ability.

It is not to comprehend the laws, but to erode the unique laws of the world, and then use them as their own.

This is the idea that only a demon king would have, to make all things in the world, all phenomena, succumb to his tyranny.

It's just a pity that no matter how much he studied, Mu Chen didn't come up with a sword skill that could be ranked among the Demon King's secrets. At most, it just made the sword skill he mastered more weird and unpredictable.

After all, Mu Chen's sword skills are mostly developed in these directions because of the various abilities he has mastered, and because his time ability is particularly outstanding, most sword skills are developed in the direction of time.

Four days passed after Mu Chen was immersed in his own world, and the people in the sky garden also spent this time in their own ways.

Before the decisive battle, he called Lancer to his room, because he didn't intend to enter the same battlefield with Lancer, so he gave Karna two Command Seals in advance to improve his resistance to Command Seals.

There is no difference in coercive force between the Command Seals given to the Master and the Command Seals given to the Ruler, so as long as the activation conditions are narrowed as much as possible, and at the same time use two strokes, the time difference should basically be zero. resistance effect.

Anyway, with Lancer's strength, he doesn't really need the assistance of Command Seals, and the magic power provided by Mu Chen himself is quite sufficient.

The "red" camp is different from the "black" camp. Except for the Rider, Archer combination or Assassin master and slave who have a special relationship, the connection between the others is not that close.

Even the relationship between Mu Chen and Lancer is the same.

Lancer is a hero who will be loyal and loyal to the summoner as long as he is summoned. Although he also has his own considerations and will take actions for them, in general he will not express any objections.

Therefore, including Mu Chen, there is not much interaction in the "red" camp, and most people are almost doing their own things.

Muchen also has no interest in chatting with those heroes. Although Achilles, Atalanta, and Shakespeare are quite famous figures, their thinking channels are not on the same frequency as his own, so he rushed to If you chat with the other party, the result may only make both parties unhappy, after all, Mu Chen is not a character who can take care of other people's moods.

042 The Eve of the Final Battle (2)

Although the heroes are powerful, they are also rebellious and unruly, and they can hardly listen to people's words. Their inner paranoia is quite stubborn. Although they are glamorous in myth books, they also have a lot of bad roots in private. At least Mu Chen doesn't I don't think I can get along well with Achilles and Atalanta. I know that Atalanta was blackened because of the grievances of a few little ghosts in the original book.

This woman is basically of the same type as Emiya Shiro, who was redeemed by someone when she was about to die, and then became a surrogate robot of some kind of obligation.

Of course, bad roots exist in everyone, and everyone has shortcomings. Mu Chen does not intend to make human nature purely "good", but to make people perfect. After all, such people do not exist, even if they are Ruler Joan of Arc can't become absolute "goodness", it's just that I can't get along well with these heroic spirits.

Not everyone can meet a heroic spirit, and everyone will drink and eat meat together to be high.

Those idiots who Fei|Lu Zhong came to Xingyue just to take over the harem don't understand, are those Servants all inflatable dolls without ego?

Oh, maybe it's just a YY novel after all, and they don't intend to get close to the reality, they just write whatever they think is cool, but this is reality, and the plot of YY's domineering and domineering will never appear, maybe The world I live in is also a world written by a certain author, but for me in the world, this world is undoubtedly real.

Maybe he can only complain why the author doesn't let him become the kind of unscrupulous protagonist who takes everything.

By the way, in fact, Mu Chen doesn’t think that there is an absolute evil. For example, the three-headed dragon Azi Dahaka in the Little Garden, Mu Chen doesn’t think he is an absolute evil. After all, he has degenerated into a demon king. It is for the future of mankind. He injects the cause of the destruction of the world into his body. As long as he defeats it, the future of mankind will have hope. From this perspective, he is also good, but his actions are evil.

Well, the result is that in Mu Chen's view, there is no such thing as complete good and evil in the world!

In addition, because Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was completely defenseless before the Great Holy Grail was completely dominated, Mu Chen was also entrusted with the task of helping to protect Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

After all, due to the number of Noble Phantasms he holds and the way he fights, Mu Chen is already no less than Servant in terms of combat power, and even ordinary Servants can't match his combat power, so it's normal to be entrusted.

In this way, the people of their camp spent the next time before the decisive battle came in their own thoughts.

--------------------------------

—The night is getting darker.

There are small springs everywhere in the sky garden moving in the air, and "Red" Lancer has always been used to bathing in such places.

Of course, it is not necessary for the Servant to do this, but the habit of life is still difficult to get rid of all at once.

Watching the incredible phenomenon of water flowing upwards, Karna silently washed his body.

Contrary to his luxurious armor and colorful guns, the man named Karna prefers a simple life.

Originally, armor and guns were not what he wanted.

The armor was obtained by her mother's supplication to God, and the spear was given in place of this armor.

He was very grateful for this and considered it a great honor.

The reason why I, who was abandoned by my mother, survived is all thanks to the strength given by my father and the armor given by my mother.

He must survive without tarnishing his father's prestige.

This pointer has not changed even now that he has obtained a second life.

Of course, as a Servant, it is natural to obey the Master's orders, and "Red" Lancer resolutely rejects any behavior that tarnishes his father's prestige.

It was also fortunate that his Master was not controlled like Rider's and their Masters before being summoned, otherwise, it would not be a matter of how he acted.

Rider and their Master are dreaming sweet dreams with empty eyes, the dialogue cannot be established, and the communication of will is impossible.

However, it can be known from their repeated dreams that they mistakenly thought that they had obtained the Holy Grail.

Of course, even if his Master was controlled like the other Masters, it would be a bit difficult for him.

This kind of situation is also a common situation for the "hero of charity" Karna, he will neither resent the controlled Master, nor hate to replace the poisoned Master as the new master of his Master.

Do what you can do within your ability.

Give as much as possible what is asked for.

Then seriously accept the full consequences of doing so.

——No, not all of them.

"Red" Lancer remembered what he had been pursuing until now.

In this world, there is only one hero who constantly troubles Karna's heart.

His name is Arjuna, and he is a man who has various nicknames such as "Shining Crown", "Victor", and "Rich Man", and is loved by everyone.

The man who took everything from Karna in exchange for armor and a spear.

It can be said that Ah Zhou was the man who got everything without paying any price.

Could Karna's feelings for Arjuna be jealousy?Or is it some other emotion besides jealousy?

Karna didn't think about it until his death.Because he has never been jealous of any existence, it is impossible to give a specific name to this feeling that has been disturbing his heart.

... At the beginning of this Holy Grail War, he also had a chance to understand this feeling.

"Black" Saber—the face of Arjuna seemed to exist on his body. When he heard his real name from Shirou Kotomine later, Karna suddenly realized it.

Siegfried, the tragic hero who inherited the royal blood and got wealth and fame and everything else.

But unlike Arjuna, his end was extremely tragic.

That is the tragic ending of "being assassinated and dying", and he didn't even have time to swing the sword of dragon slaying, and he was sniped at the only weakness of the invincible body and died.

Regarding the various Heroic Spirits participating in this Holy Grail War, Karna believes that they are all rare existences. As their own, they are compatriots who should help each other, and as enemies, they are rare and strong.

In this sense, Karna can be said to "understand" the existence of Heroic Spirits better than anyone else.

However, the only thing that interests him is the "black" Saber. Even if they don't exchange many conversations, if their weapons have crossed hundreds or thousands of times, they can naturally understand something.

Although he is a very similar existence to Arjuna, he is always longing for something.

A man who has no regrets about the fact that he died unexpectedly, but is pursuing something new.

Then——no matter who it is, he is a veritable, true hero.

It was that kind of him who wished to fight himself again, seeing himself as an enemy that must be defeated.

As a fighter, this can be said to be the highest honor, but also a joy.

How exciting was that battle, that agreement!

I am grateful to human beings for their livelihood and warm dialogue, but there is a long distance between them and "selfish desires", and there is no desire in it, nor the joy that makes one's blood boil.

But that existed on the battlefield. Looking back carefully, for Karna, joy can only be encountered on the battlefield.

It was a brief moment when I concentrated all my existence on the gun, freed myself from my origin and the intentions of people in my own camp, and let my "true self" run freely without any worries.

The sparks of swords, guns, swords and halberds are equivalent to twinkling stars to Karna, a good opponent who effortlessly counterattacks himself who is going all out, and at the same time urges him to do his best.

Although it's a bit rude, it's really enough to make me feel that "my life exists for that moment of joy".

At that time, Karna and Siegfried bet each other's lives, fought each other with deadly moves, and finally decided to postpone the time to decide the winner.

——Absolutely want to fight again, and swear by each other's names, we will do our best to decide the outcome, that is a trust based on life.

If you violate this oath, it is tantamount to insulting that man's life.

043 Persistent Boy

——So, the day of the decisive battle came along with the mild sunshine.

Of course, the battle cannot start in the daytime, so they still have a daytime, and everyone welcomes the upcoming decisive battle with different moods.

"Red" Rider spent all his time meditating in order to fight his teacher to the death.

"Red" Archer was eating the barbecue he hunted.

"Red" Caster was furiously writing.

"Red" Assassin accompanied Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to make a wish to the Great Holy Grail.

Everyone is doing their own thing.

……

The existence of the temple treasure "Vanity's Sky Garden" is very strange, but the underground space where the "altar" that houses the Great Holy Grail is located is even more weird.

First of all, it is already very abnormal in terms of area.

Considering the size of the sky garden itself, it is obviously not a vast place where the edge cannot be seen, but even when the eyes are used to the darkness, it is still impossible to see how big this space is.

Perhaps the space was distorted by some kind of magic.

Although it looks like a basin as a whole, only the central part is a flat place. Walking down the wide steps made of burnt bricks to the central part, you can see the stolen Fuyuki Great Holy Grail. floating there.

The figure emitting blue and white light looks like the moon that was summoned to this space.

But what is even more astonishing is the ceiling of this underground space... the part that is equivalent to the "sky".
