Ambition of the King of Knights

"Don't worry, in the Kingdom of Shadows, there is neither time nor life and death. This place is just a space that is forever solidified. No matter how long you stay here, it will only be a moment to go back."

"That's good."

Arthur nodded, believing the other party's words, as if his intuition told him that the other party had no ill intentions towards him, and even said... there is still a little... expectation? !

"Well, although those things can be said to be summoned by me, I can't control them freely, well, or in fact, I don't know how I did it, probably because of this thing."

Scathach pointed to the cup in his hand, making Arthur's gaze complicated. Sure enough, this is...

"'It' told me that I was a universal wishing machine. Although I didn't really believe it, I probably made a wish unintentionally. Even if I didn't have much expectation, it was fine to try, so I tried it according to what 'it' said, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"It's more than troublesome." Arthur sighed, "If it's just me... wait, you said... 'it' told you?"

"Is there any problem?" Scathach stroked the cup, "It told me that as long as I kept raiding those places, I could find the person I was looking for. Anyway, those bastards are not strong, but there are a lot of them. Wouldn't it be great if it didn't cause much damage, but it could also draw out the strong and find the person I want?"

"..." This logic is a bit subtle!

Arthur was a little speechless, well, you attacked several of the most famous races to force their strong men to come to your door, you have the strength and you are self-willed, but it seems that he has never seen Scathach, right? !

"Can I ask, what is your wish? Besides, I haven't met you before, have I?"

"No, but it's not important." Scathach resumed his previous indifferent attitude, and an indescribable expectation appeared in his eyes, "Because, my wish is to find someone who kills me."

"..."

Scathach's eyes were a little empty, as if he saw the distant future, and he said in a singing voice: "Where is the person who can kill me? I have been looking for..."

"I can use the 'clairvoyance' to predict the future. I have searched for a long time for myself. However, no matter how many times I can't see the end of my life, even my most beloved disciple is the same, except you——I haven't seen the end of my life. Until your arrival, I haven't found a chance to interact with you."

"But now we've met."

"Moreover, you are very likely to replace Cu Chulainn and become my favorite disciple." Scathach's lips curled up, "I can't see your future, even I can't see my own future clearly , isn’t this implication already obvious?—I can’t see a future where I still exist, that is to say, I can be killed, killed by you.”

"That's it, I understand."

"Huh? I thought that you would let me live strong like the 'Son of the Sun'. Did you agree?"

"Life is very precious, we should not give it up easily." Arthur was silent for a while, then sighed, "However, I also understand that in many cases we should respect other people's choices, especially, the cycle of life and death is the common sense of human beings. If you completely jump out of this circle, it will only be more painful and lonely, right?"

"!"

"Your eyes tell me you're tired. Well, you really should rest."

"……I see."

Scathach became quiet, and there was no one here except her, perhaps because she killed countless undead, humans, and gods, or because of the punishment of stepping into the realm of the gods with a human body, she was cursed to entangle her life , I can’t even say for sure that I’m still human.

In this world where there is only her, it is full of the dead and souls of the dead. Immortality is just a kind of torture, which brings her boundless loneliness and exhaustion. Even if someone can come in from time to time, she is only willing to be with people who are upright or outstanding. Heroes are in the company, out of appreciation for her teaching them, and she is willing to let them go, while those ordinary and despicable mortals are left forever, becoming one of the dead souls, bringing her a little comfort.

"I see, I see, you understand me." Skaha stared at King Arthur's green pupils for a long time, and suddenly understood something, "Your eyes... are very similar to mine! No wonder you understand me. "

Is it similar?A fiery red, a lake-like emerald green, yet the meaning of loneliness is the same.

They have also approached the limits of human beings, touched the realm of gods, and...

They are equally lonely, equally incomprehensible, have the same existence that they want to protect, and are equally tired and want to be relieved. Therefore, they yearn for death and new life so much.

In this regard, Arthur is no different from Scathach. He really wants to protect Great Britain, but at the same time he is also tired and lonely, because no one can really enter his heart, and he cannot reveal the secret of time travel to anyone. , and it is impossible to frankly express the true self.

Therefore, whether it is him or her, after they have fulfilled their duties, they long for the peace of death.

That being the case, how could Arthur, who had the same feeling, refuse?If he can.

"There is one last question, can you go out?" Arthur paused. Unlike him, Scathach didn't need to suppress herself, so if she could go out, she might be able to enjoy a more beautiful life.

"Impossible." Scathach shook his head, "I killed all the gods guarding the dead here, so I inherited the duty of guarding this place... If I leave, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos immediately, not only The undead you saw are at work."

"I will help you out." Arthur nodded without the slightest hesitation, "How? Besides, do you have a way to get rid of those things outside? I believe you can also solve the troubles here. You are a responsible good queen."

"Thank you for your compliment, this is far more exciting than praising my martial arts."

Skaha smiled, this time it wasn't the kind of smile that slightly raised the corners of her lips, but a truly relaxed smile, which made the mature girl look as innocent as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

"I don't want to deceive you...Although I have hesitated whether to conceal the fact of you, but you and I are bosom friends, right? So let me tell the truth, even if you don't want to, I won't blame you. "

"If you want to kill me without leaving hidden dangers, there is only one way—to destroy the Kingdom of Shadows together with me."

"..."

"My own magic power is not high, so the magic power used for summoning is connected to the Kingdom of Shadows. If we destroy it together, it will be considered as cutting off the supply of magic power. You don't have to worry about crowds of monsters anymore. Just destroy the existing ones. Just drop it, and the existing dead spirits in the Kingdom of Shadows will also disappear, and I can also be liberated together."

"No, I believe you won't lie to me about this." Arthur twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "You have too much confidence in me, don't you? I can't do things like destroying a space. Ah! My Excalibur is just an Anti-City Noble Phantasm..."

This is the first time that Arthur has belittled his own treasures. He has always had an attitude of relying on his sworn sword of victory. It can be said that it is completely impossible!Thanks to him, he thought it was his own dragon blood or attributes, so he was able to kill Scathach.

"Who said you can't do it?" Skaha smiled slightly, squinting his eyes, "There is a treasure waiting for you that only you can use. Anyway, time will not flow here, so you start learning marksmanship from me Bar."

"Eh? Eh?"

"Holy Lance Lungominiad—itself is the "pillar of light" that will maintain the surface of the world as its main body.Due to the existence of the thirteen restraints with the same program as the "Holy Sword of the World Saving Star", it is in a state of barely maintaining its stature as a Noble Phantasm—but if there are no restraints, its power will rise from the anti-city Noble Phantasm to the anti-world Noble Phantasm . "

"Wait, wait, I've heard about this too, but isn't the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad (Rhongomyniad) legendary as the pillar of the guardian primate?"

As a loyal Saber fan, I have naturally played a certain card-drawing game, and I have heard about Saber of the Lancer class, and I know a little bit, but I dare not try it lightly—the original Artoria was destroyed. , it’s not used in Great Britain, so it’s no problem how you play it, but now... if his country is destroyed, he really has nowhere to cry.

It's not necessarily possible to participate in the Holy Grail War in the future, and then kill the past self to stop the stupid move, right?

"Hehe, it won't be like what you think." Scathach was amused by Arthur, and said with a smile, "To be precise, the holy gun is the "pillar of light" that connects the outside and inside of the world (reality and fantasy). Should the Pillars of Light be disintegrated, reality would be stripped from the world—that is, just the last straw for this Ragnarok. "

"Twilight of the Gods?"

"Well, this is the name I gave it. The gods of this era have been getting weaker and weaker for a long time. Otherwise, I would not kill so many easily. I am afraid there will be no authentic gods after you, right? You are the last You are the "King" standing in the age of gods and fantasy at the same time, you are qualified to own this powerful holy gun. "

"Will it affect the real country?"

"No." Skaha sighed and said, "However, just like your holy sword, if you don't restrain it, its power is far beyond what you can bear. Moreover, even if you restrain it , the power has dropped, and I can also cut off the supply of magic power for your sake, and it is easy to solve those things."

"You are so honest."

Arthur froze for a moment, then smiled frankly. Scathach's meaning was very simple. If he didn't impose restraint on the Holy Lance, then he could help Scathach escape and solve the predicament, but he would die too. He can't help Scathach, but he can still solve the predicament and survive.

No matter how he chooses, he is actually not at a loss, and he can urgently solve the problems he needs most. Skaha is really a person who can't help but admire.

"I understand. Thank you for your honesty. I have already made up my mind." Arthur smiled, "If the holy gun is bound, what is the difference from the dust? Please teach me the marksmanship! By the way, since I want to learn from you If so, should I call you teacher? It seems a bit weird, after all, you look so young."

"Ah, ah, me, do I look very young?" Skaha heard a blush on his cheeks, "That, no need, I didn't accept you as a disciple, just call your name... ...(whispers) Isn't it more intimate this way?"

"Skaha, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

"No, no, it's nothing, I mean, if it weren't for the fact that I can't leave and you have to leave, I think this world is quite interesting-no more, let's get you started!"

"Ah, then please, Scathach."

"..."

what to do?It seems that I finally met a handsome and beautiful boy who thinks of himself as a woman, a little...

"Skaha?"

"I, I won't show mercy because of this! Prepare to accept my hell training!"

"Ah, of course, that's the only way special training can be effective. You don't need to be too reserved—because even Miss Scathach, who wields a battle gun, is very handsome and beautiful."

"..." (ω)

It seems that facing this face is a little bit hard, how can you break it? !

Today's Master Scathach seems to have finally met his nemesis...

The author has something to say: people want to comment!Flowers!For the sake of our hard work, please use your comments to knock me out!

small theater:

Arthur: Miss Scathach who wields a battle gun is also very handsome and beautiful! (Just as cute and handsome as the heroic Saber sauce!)

Scathach: ... (This is, have you been confessed again? Ahhh, what should I do, look carefully, King Arthur is really handsome!)

Cu Chulainn: Are you blind?This is just an old man pretending to be tender——

Scathach: (sneering) Cu Chulainn, was the last training done so quickly?So it’s okay to think about ten times, right?

Cu Chulainn: ...

Arthur: Huh?Skaha you just now...

Scathach: (smiling) Nothing, just a lesson to the unfilial disciples.

Arthur: Oh, that's right.By the way, Cu Chulainn is the prototype of Lancelot Gawain?We are equals again, so the legendary hero is my junior.

Scathach: That's right, Cu Chulainn, quickly call Shigong...ah no, call someone.

Cu Chulainn: ... (So what should I be called!)
