Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

【Krypton Hahahahahaha——】

Just when two kings who spanned the ages, the King of Conqueror and the King of Heroes, were engaged in a royal battle in the yellow sand world.

On the other side - on the way to the gymnasium, Xia Yuan's heart suddenly tightened and he stopped, as if he felt some danger.

But this danger does not come from around him, the source is on the bridge ahead.

"What is this unabashed aura?"

Looking around, he could easily see the figure on the bridge with his physical fitness that he was no longer a human being.

"Really, did you find me here so early?……"

The Count of Monte Cristo, who also noticed Xia Yuan's gaze, also smiled knowingly. Black flames burned beside him, and this unabashed aura swept directly over him.

Just like the fighting spirit that Lancer released when he first attracted Saber to fight, the Cave King also used the same method to send an invitation to his master.

The black flames kept beating on the bridge in Fuyuki City, as if in joy.

Seeing such a scene that was endowed with the meaning of a decisive battle, Xia Yuan knew that it was impossible to give in now.

Although the bridge was not the only way to the destination, if he ignored him, the count would definitely get angry, and then he would catch up with him and beat him up in anger, so he boarded the bridge wisely.

As for the Cave King's temperament, he has known it very well after having been together for so long. To put it simply, it is a bit of a tsundere mixed with the bad. Although he talks about revenge every day, it is not essentially that. evil guy

"Are you thinking of something rude?"

The cave king couldn't help but frowned.

"No, it's not really anything special."Xia Yuan tilted his head and continued walking this way.

Looking at the Cave King not far ahead, he raised his hand.

He saw a red light flash past, and the command spell on the back of his hand and the one between it The connection can still be easily felt.

At this moment, the Master and Servant met again.

Their eyes looked at each other closely across a short distance, and the atmosphere became solid for a moment.

"Hey, long time no see, Earl, but you showed up much earlier than I expected."Xia Yuan broke the silence first

"I thought you would have another decisive battle to settle grudges in the finale, similar to the ending of the comic."

"So stupid"

"What?"

"That's a stupid idea, idiot.

The Earl looked at him speechlessly and continued:"I thought that after experiencing so much, you should be able to grow a lot, but in the end you are still as naive as ever, Master.""

The flames boiled gently around them, making a clicking sound. The dark colors quickly surrounded the two people like tigers, and the bridge was instantly ignited.

"This... shouldn't be the case, right? You even blocked the place to prevent me from escaping?"Xia Yuan sighed silently and pulled the colorful ribbon on his arm.

"As for, this is very important"

"The fire here is the fire of vengeance from hell. It surrounds and ignites this place, turning it into a place of judgment similar to the Chateau d'If. Only one person can escape from here!"The earl looked at Xia Yuan in front of him with red eyes and said

"Do you understand now?"

It's serious. Through the earl's firm gaze, Xia could see his attitude. In this case——

"I do not understand"

"But if this is really what you want, then I am naturally willing to accompany you to the end."

"Very good, this is right, krypton hahahahaha——！！"

"But it’s already reached this point, aren’t you going to be frank? After all, we’ve been together for so long, and it seems like we haven’t even introduced ourselves properly."

Actually, Xia Yuan doesn't want to fight with the earl so soon. The trouble with Emiya Kiritsugu is even bigger. It would be a big trouble if he really raises the contaminated Holy Grail.

But since he is forced to this extent, , then it is impossible for him to escape. The count's appearance clearly shows that he knew what was going to happen and deliberately stopped him here.

As for that, he had no choice but to escape. I believe in Teacher Kenneth’s ability and Artoria’s ability to make the right choice.

"Self introduction? What's there to talk about with boring stories about me?"

The Cave King grinned. He didn't feel half proud of his own story.

"Haven’t you already read through the story of the Count of Monte Cristo? It's enough for you to identify me by the guy there. I'm just a stupid man who was framed and thrown into hell. After fourteen years of struggle, he finally escaped from hell with all his strength. The incarnation of revenge ghost."

He lit a cigarette and talked about the past with Xia Yuan without any hesitation.

"After coming out of hell, that man relied on the cunning he had honed in hell and the strength he gained to drag his enemies into hell one after another and complete his revenge. This is probably the story."

"So what do you think of this story, Count? The Count of Monte Cristo is known as the best revenge drama in the world."

"How about it? How is it... Krypton hahahahaha——"

"Needless to say? Of course that’s great! It's a wonderful experience to have a vengeful ghost crawl out of the darkness, no longer hide, and let the fire of anger and hatred in your heart burn brightly, igniting everything in front of you!!"

As he spoke, the earl laughed wildly again,"When I dragged those enemies to hell with my own hands and saw them begging for mercy before they died, hearing my name reminded me of the evil deeds I had done, no matter whether it was the stains on my face. His despair, or his vicious curses before death are both wonderful!"

"The Count of Monte Cristo ends with the count personally taking revenge���All the enemies finally found their lost love as the legend said, and disappeared into the distance with his beloved concubine. It was really romantic.……"Xia Yuan sighed and looked at the earl who was still laughing wildly.

"In fact, the core of so-called revenge is how to use violence legitimately. As long as you do something that is just in the eyes of the world at that time, this kind of revenge is worthy of being praised. That's why your story, Earl, has been spread so widely.……"

"How to use violence appropriately? Krypton Hahahahaha, yes, Master, it seems you understand it too, this is the core of revenge"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life! If the law cannot do it, then do it with your own hands. This is revenge, and you can use violence reasonably by personal means."

The count raised his hand to boil the flame while laughing, and continued:"Master, do you know? The me who came as an Extra class should not have existed.

The only thing that can make me born is when there is a big change in human history, or when there is an unknown threat.

Now, the omen of disaster has actually come a long time ago, and you are not part of the trajectory of human history, so I was restrained and arranged to be by your side.

There is no chance from beginning to end when people meet each other, everything is inevitable!

"

"Although the order given to me by the restraint force is to eliminate the threat of you, that sad saint and I also have our own ideas."

"Master, you have kind thoughts and are completely different from a vengeful ghost like me. Every time I see your brilliance, I feel dazzled, just like Father Faria. In the past, he saved poor people, but he himself was buried in hell forever, but now he won't. This time I will save you!"

At this moment, those golden eyes flashed with a touch of splendor, and the surrounding dark flames completely boiled.

"Is this about to start a fight?"

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly, his body already prepared, because he knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

"Oh, of course, after procrastinating for so long, your magic is almost ready, right?"

"Ah, as expected, this little trick couldn't be hidden from the earl's eyes at all."

Seeing that his little move was revealed by the earl, Xia Yuan smiled slightly and admitted it calmly. Then he waved his sleeves violently, and several light blue butterflies formed out of thin air and flew around him.

"It's butterfly magic. Have you mastered it to this extent? It seems that the dream demon really taught you a lot."

"Yes, although Merlin is a scumbag, his teaching skills are indeed top-notch, and I have made great progress."

Xia Yuan smiled, raised his hand and continued to release the butterfly familiars he had just created. The large number soon surrounded him.

"But, Earl, what you just told me is that in hell, the Asian priest sacrificed himself to save a lost soul, so now you have to sacrifice yourself to save me."

"But do you really want to become the second priest Faria?"

Xia Yuan raised his hand and cut off the colorful ribbon on his arm with all his strength. All kinds of strengthening magic were soon reflected on his body along with the magic imprint.

【Hero Building Ex】

【dreamy charm A】

Regarding the count's answer, Xia Yuan also gave his own response,"But this is wrong. None of us should decay. No one needs to sacrifice anyone, and no one needs to become anyone. We are here and have always been there." ah"

"So no one needs to be a Faria priest from beginning to end!!"

"Krypton Hahahahaha——! You are so naive, my Master. Even if I choose to let go, they will not let go. As long as you still exist, you will be regarded as a threat to the world. Even if I leave, other guardians will come to kill you, so you have no choice." He also raised his hands, igniting the dark flames with deep resentment, and issued an ultimatum.

"Come on, right here, hold out your hand to me and I'll save you this time"

"But if you really haven't given up and chosen another method, then defeat me! Prove to me here that you are the one who defeats despair and leads to hope. If you can't even do this, then just obey!"

"Just like the king and the mount, come to prove it to you?"

"That's right, the losers will continue to exist as part of the mount that becomes the winner. This is the best choice. Let me see your growth, Master!"

Laughing wildly, the figure flew out at an extremely fast speed wrapped in dark flames, and the black light and shadow flashed past Xia Yuan's sight.

"Finally, let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Yuan. I am a traveler from another world who lives here and is also your Master. I am here to accept the challenge!"

This time, Xia Yuan did not hesitate. With the blessing of Merlin's enhanced magic, he grasped the Indestructible Lake Light that he had just summoned with both hands, and then swung the heaviest blow at the incoming tiger flames.
