[Fate] Box and Servant

48

The shadow that slowly rose from the mist caused the earth to tremble, and the entire city collapsed and ruptured at an irreparable speed.Fashionably designed financial buildings, luxurious hotels... everything has been reduced to ruins.

The fog is like a curtain, and when it is lifted, it reveals the true appearance of the shadow.It was a strange hill, towering out of the concrete ground, and a black bead hung on the top of the hill, like a black hole, from which viscous liquid continuously overflowed, flowing all over the mountain, and the dark red color faintly radiated out. .Not only that, black mud also appeared in the cracks on the ground. At this time, this scene can not help but remind people of the desperate scene of a volcanic eruption.

There was nowhere to escape, and the continuous collapse of high-rise buildings brought deafening noises.After the girl in red standing on the platform screamed, her body fell, and the thunder flashed instantly, and the Shenwei chariot firmly caught the girl's body.

"Rin! Who told you to come out of the house?!" Weber put Rin down and asked with some reproach. Then he noticed the blurred mark on the back of the girl's hand and the red and moist corners of her eyes, and he had an answer in his heart.

"A... Mordred's request, I agreed to her." Holding her hand tightly, Tohsaka Rin lowered her eyes, tears fell down, she trembled her lips, and said: "Modred De has given up her wish, so I must help her fulfill this request..."

"The fifth Heroic Spirit is Mordred, right?"

"Yes, just now she died under Saber's sword. I don't understand why Mordred would do this, and even refused to accept that I used the command spell to help her, and ended herself like a moth to a flame. She told me that she would not kill Saber, she just wanted to get angry with her father once, yelling and insulting a few words to vent the depression in her heart. Then she will take the initiative to die by Saber's sword...to complete your plan, teacher. Rin Tohsaka bit her lips, her teeth stained with blood, she looked at Weber, her tearful eyes reflected Weber's guilty face, and asked, "Are you satisfied, teacher?"

"cold……"

"Cheating Sakura, summoning Mordred is just in case to fill the vacancy... I know your thoughts and great plan, teacher. Destroying the Holy Grail is a good thing for human beings, but why does the familiar Like a living person, there are too many involved."

"Sacrifice is necessary." Weber clenched his fists, showing a serious expression that belonged to El-Melloi II, and said, "Mordred is a hero."

Rin Tohsaka was in a daze when he heard it, and Mordred's grinning smile seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.Mordred who smashed the round table angrily when he was first summoned... the angry and lonely wry smile after discovering that King Arthur also participated in the Holy Grail, and finally... the heroic spirit who has never been serious actually performed the knight's etiquette and knelt down on one knee to beg her complete.

Her father told her that heroic spirits only rely on magicians to appear in this world. They have no physical body and only have magic power and spiritual core.After all, it's just a familiar horse.

The green eyes somewhat similar to those of Mordred looked at the back of the majestic man who was driving the chariot intently. The red cloak fluttered in the wind and blended with the dark red coat of El-Melloi II.Rin Tohsaka suddenly understood something, and after a long time, a miserable smile slowly bloomed.

"So that's the case, Mordred knows about it." Before she knew why and couldn't understand what the teacher did, Mordred already understood her final fate from the subtle atmosphere.Even though the appearance age seems to be of the same age, and he has experienced many betrayals and madness, Mordred, who was born by Morgos, understands too much more than the lucky Rin Tohsaka.At the same time, she accepted all this calmly.

"The little girl who thinks she is a kid is very smart, and her thoughts are much deeper than her father's." The rider who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "If you want to cry, bear with it, Rin!" The Shenwei chariot stopped After they got down, the divine cows let out a mouthful from their noses, as if they were very dissatisfied with the things contained in the air.

"Yeah." Tohsaka Rin wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up straight.The girl's slender and beautiful curves were surrounded by a layer of halo called perseverance, and her eyes were burning like bright gems.Her voice was no longer trembling, and she said, "Teacher, what are we going to do next?"

The mighty chariot stopped in front of the Holy Grail, and they were able to clearly see the scene in the center of the Holy Grail while hanging high in the sky. The magical aura emanating from the continuously pouring black mud made the air sticky.It seems to be the influence of biological nature, breathing becomes rapid, the heart seems to be held firmly by a hand, and warnings are constantly sent from the depths of the brain—stay away from the things in front of you.

"Saber and Box can't be contacted, and I can't do anything with the strength of Rider and I." El-Melloi II gritted his teeth and said, "It's the worst case, just wait and see." After finishing speaking, he raised his finger Magic, brushing his eyes strengthened his eyesight, so that he could see the Holy Grail more clearly.

Taking a step forward, El-Melloi II stared at the top of the Holy Grail with wide eyes in astonishment, tightened his hand on the edge, and murmured in disbelief: "... Sakura?! Why would Sakura In the center of the Holy Grail?! No... Sakura is the Holy Grail container? How is that possible!" His body couldn't help leaning forward, Rider frowned and put the back of his hand against El-Melloi II's collarbone, signaling him to calm down.

"Sakura?" After hearing his sister's name, Tohsaka Rin hurried forward, and after strengthening his eyesight like his teacher, he missed a breath, his chest was aching, and the tip of his nose was sore.

"Can the rider get a little closer?" El-Melloi II asked, and the rider tightened his hands on the reins and nodded, frowning.

"Okay, sit still!"

Not afraid of the smell of the black mud, the bulls stepped on the sticky air and approached the top of the Holy Grail at an unpleasant speed.The familiar figure seen in the line of sight made Tohsaka Rin and El-Melloi II unable to find an excuse, and the one at the top was indeed Matou Sakura whom they knew.

"Sakura——!!" With all her strength, the scream-like call came out from the girl's tender lips, and she gasped for a while until the smell of blood rose from her throat again and again.

But the call of this blood relative did not attract Matou Ying's attention, El-Melloi II felt a pain in his heart, and wanted to comfort his student but didn't know what to say.

Suddenly a burst of black sword energy struck the wind! The rider tightened the reins violently, and the iron wheels rattled barely avoiding the attack that could send the chariot down.El-Melloi II quickly chanted a spell, and the magic shield emerged. He didn't dare to carelessly strengthen it again before looking at the source of the sword energy.

"...It's getting worse and worse." El-Melloi II suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the cold sweat soaked his close-fitting clothes.

"Ah, that's too bad. Master, the current situation is that the allies have betrayed." Rider, who had seen the ups and downs, laughed, and at the same time, those huge hands drew out the saber, and the master's fighting spirit made him The divine cows panted heavily and rubbed their hooves, and the thunder flashed.

On the top of the crumbling tall building stood a black swordsman.His killing intent was as conspicuous as the strangely colored wind that enveloped him, even the rider and El-Melloi II who were hanging in the air could hear the hissing wind.

The swordsman didn't give the target any extra time to prepare, holding the sword in both hands, a whirlwind gathered under his feet, and the mysterious sword shot out strong wind magic, like an arrow off the string, rushing straight to the mighty chariot.

"Set!" The girl swung a three-color gemstone between her fingers to attack the swordsman, but the gemstone fell on the wind before it burst into nothingness, and it couldn't even touch the cold golden hair.Tohsaka Rin was startled, and the gemstone he swung again turned into a light wall to block the swordsman. Taking advantage of the few seconds that the swordsman broke through the light wall, Shen Niu exerted strength with his feet, and opened the distance between them.

"Teacher, what's wrong with Saber?" Rin Tohsaka asked quickly, but his eyes were locked on Saber who was following Ta Feng closely, holding a few gems in his palm.

"It's the Holy Grail black mud, it should be completely controlled."

"I heard what my father said four times. Saber was attacked by black mud once, but the current situation did not happen."

"The situation is different." El-Melloi II said in a deep voice, "The Holy Grail... wants to survive."

The pupils shrank sharply, and Tohsaka Rin threw the gem again. After the explosion, the girl asked in a slightly cold voice: "Is it Sakura's consciousness?"

"No, it should be the Holy Grail, not Sakura. Sakura wouldn't treat us like this." The conclusion that came out of nowhere was not to comfort Tohsaka Rin, and there was no hesitation in his heart.El-Melloi II sacrificed his formal attire and said, "Rin."

"Understood, teacher." Azoth, who had been hiding all the time, showed a gorgeous face, clenched his left hand with his right hand and threw several gems flying around the sword.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

……

…………

drop-drop-

At first it was just the small sound of water droplets falling, but as she opened her eyes, the water droplets gradually turned into a cascading waterfall, the thin air was filled with a strong magical atmosphere, and there was a sense of fullness in her body that could not be expressed in words.

This is where?

Lowering her head, the long skirt was immersed in the black pool, she couldn't see her legs, it was like being stuck in a swamp, unable to move an inch.It seemed to be integrated with this black pool, the red lines on the skirt faintly exuded a faint light, and the light flowed down and melted into the pool water.

The sound of water was getting louder and louder, and the feeling of hurting her eardrums made her frown in dissatisfaction.

Ding--

This crisp and crisp sound was not covered by the sound of water, and it was extremely clear.With her as the center, ripples appeared in the pool water layer by layer, and when they spread apart, a silent space opened up.

Ah, it's like knowing that she thinks this voice is noisy.

She raised her head slowly, her purple eyes were no longer the color of the past, they were as dead as a pool of blood, without any fluctuation.What caught her eyes was the blackness that engulfed the sky, and the familiar aura made her immediately understand where she was.

"Holy Grail." The cold voice uttered these two words, and the corners of her mouth raised her brows into a frown. She smiled as if she was crying, and murmured: "Ah...it's the Holy Grail."

"Well, it's the Holy Grail." A soft and childish voice suddenly appeared in this silent space. Following the voice, I saw a short young girl wearing a cute dress with a ribbon on her black hair. Her movements were swaying, her blue eyes flickered, she was as beautiful as sapphires, and said with a smile: "Hello, beautiful me."

After seeing the girl's face clearly, Matou Sakura looked disgusted. This expression made the girl say "Oops", and quickly rubbed her face with her small hands. Her black hair turned purple, and her eyes changed to the same color after she put down her hands.

"Don't show such a scary look, I was careless and forgot that you hate yourself in this color." Bai Nen's finger touched her lower lip, and the girl pouted, and said, "Umm... no I hate it, I don't want to see it, it brings back painful memories, right?"

"You are the Holy Grail." Matou Sakura said softly, "Are you hallucinating now?"

"No, it's in this world. But you should be the only one who can see me." The girl pointed to 'Kong' and said meaningfully: "There are only five heroic spirits, you are really amazing. Moreover, you can still maintain your own consciousness It didn't go away, man, it bothers me."

"Fake is not necessarily inferior." Matou Sakura laughed at herself, "So, can I fulfill my wish now? You chose me, didn't you?"

"Wish?" The girl blinked in surprise after hearing this, her small body trembled, and her small laughter hurt Matou Ying's heart, and said: "Sakura, look at me. I have the same face as you Ah, haven't you noticed yet? I, it's you."

"I know."

"Then, how can I choose 'myself'?" The little hand patted her cheeks, the pale complexion did not show a trace of blush, and the girl said word by word: "I, just, yes, you, ah."

"If you're trying to pretend to be me, your personality is completely wrong." Matou Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at the girl contemptuously and said, "Even if I'm black-haired and blue-eyed, my personality wouldn't be so lively. Watching my memory, but learning like Rin."

"Hey, because of this personality and you with black hair and blue eyes..." As soon as the voice fell, the girl's hair and eyes changed again, and she retorted, "It's your ideal self."

"Shut up." For some reason, these words made Matou Ying show an angry face. She didn't want to hear the girl's voice at all, but the girl refused to let go, ignoring the distortion of space and the tentacles emerging from the black pool.

"If I'm like Rin, I'm confident and dazzling." The tentacles suddenly wrapped around the girl's slender legs, tightening them tightly and leaving red marks, but the girl didn't seem to feel any pain, and continued: "If I'm like Rin , should have the courage to resist the torture of the worm warehouse."

The tentacles wrapped around the girl's body and limbs, and her fragile neck was also tightly bound.

"To shut up."

As soon as the voice fell, the tentacles easily crushed the girl's small body. What burst out was not blood, but sticky black mud. The head fell into the black pool and sank for a while before floating, revealing a smiling face. eyes and sneering lips.

"If you want to use this to completely occupy my consciousness, then please don't do useless work." Matou Sakura straightened her spine, showing her beautiful curves, her face was cold and beautiful, and ordered: "Fulfill my wish. "

"Oh, I've said it all, I can't finish it." The black mud gathered into the girl's body, picked up the head with her little hand, pressed it and then blinked innocently. The long eyelashes flickered, very cute, and said: " Then, your wish is for Matou Kariya to fully recover, right?"

"Yes."

"I~ can't fulfill this wish~!" The girl spread her hands, shook her head, and said, "Look at the surrounding environment, look at the things flowing out of the 'hole', and then look at you." Pointed her fingers along with the words A few times, and finally tapped on my chin, "Do you think I will fulfill such a beautiful wish?" The ending trembled, and a sneer sounded, "Matou Sakura, don't you understand? The current How ugly I am, and what is my life connected with?! Who am I, and who are you?!"

The girl spread her arms, and her little feet in black leather shoes did not sink into the black mud, but stepped on the surface of the pool, like walking on flat ground.She stood on tiptoe and twirled around, the big skirt with beautiful lace was blooming like flowers, soft as clouds.

"The Holy Grail is me, the Holy Grail is you! You are me." The figure of the girl disappeared suddenly, and before Matou Ying could blink her eyes, a young and tender appearance appeared in front of her eyes.The tips of the noses touched, a deep blood was reflected in the blue eyes, and the cold exhaled from the small lips fell on the skin of Matou Sakura. The 'I' and 'I' can only give Uncle Kariya eternal rest, poor and lovely 'I', don't you understand?"

"How has the Holy Grail ever fulfilled human wishes? Well-intentioned...beautiful but extremely boring wishes."

……

…………

Outside the Holy Grail, the swordsman who was dyed black once had a wish that he thought was beautiful.

He grieved on the hill of Kamlan, and his blue eyes reflected the broken state of the country and the blood red of the setting sun into his heart.He cannot die, how can a king leave his country behind?

His Camelot.

So the swordsman embarked on a new journey, in order to get the nostalgia of the Holy Grail, let the Lord's gift shower on him, so that he can save his country in the glory of the Lord.

In the end, the swordsman found out that everything he had done was in vain. This wish that he thought was good and beautiful caused disaster to befall the world, costing countless innocent lives, and made him understand that all this was just a design A good game belongs to the farce of the heroic spirits.

He did not want to stay in this world with the brand-new gun he got by accident, but returned to Kamlan Hill, waiting for the call again.

Is it for redemption?That's not the case. The swordsman who has seen through his obsession simply hopes to cut off the source of the black mud for the present world, so that disasters will never appear again.

But saying this is another wish that I think is beautiful.

He hoped to bring happiness and well-being, but instead he killed his daughter again.Mordred, who was exhausted after being raged, held the sharp and pierced body of the holy sword in order to write the ending.

It wasn't until the end that he realized that he had never given Mordred any love at all.All he did was to help Mordred go to destruction. The kindness he thought was the greatest malice, just like he brought the Holy Grail to the world with his own hands and poured the black mud on the land himself.

What I think is goodwill... I think what I think is a good wish!

This kind of him is filthy.

Such him is a disaster.

Why is the sword in his hand raised, and why is he fighting.He could no longer get an answer, and what he saw through the armor was endless regret and self-blame.

'Let's fight. '

'kill. '

A voice kept ringing in my ears, the dark swordsman understood his mission, and he chased after the wind without mercy.The incoming magic cannon can be blocked with a sword, and the enemy's attack falls on the body without pain.

But such a chase really irritated him.

He stopped chasing, raised the sword with both hands, gathered the magic power of the whole body, the blade skyrocketed, and the frenzied murderous aura made El-Melloi II and Rin Tohsaka gather all their strength to build a wall of light.

"EX——CALIBUR——!!"

The light wall [-] meters away from the Shenwei chariot withstood the huge attack. The master and apprentice did not dare to relax. The magic circuit in their bodies burned the flesh and blood, but they saw a gap in the center of the light wall. Before Tohsaka Rin Using the ruby ​​pendant given by my father again, the wall of light shattered and disappeared, and the Noble Phantasm came directly——!

El-Melloi II thought that when he opened his eyes again, he would either be within the rider's inherent barrier or be in the king's kingdom, but the facts once again proved that his luck was so good that it made one's teeth gnaw.

The dazzling fire light could slightly heat his eyes through his eyelids. He opened his eyes, and what blocked the holy sword was his beautiful and dangerous friend who had not appeared for a long time.

Box lowered his left hand, and the fire shield disappeared into the palm of his hand.Under the leather boots was a flame that was burning in the air, and when she took a step, the flame appeared.

Her golden eyes were shining brightly, and when she saw that her Saber had changed into another outfit, she chuckled lightly.The figure appeared in front of the pitch-black swordsman in a flash, his left hand grabbed the armored neck, the sound of steel shattering followed, the swordsman had no power to resist, and was thrown from mid-air to the ground by the Balrog superior.

"The speed of changing your mind is really fast, this is not acceptable."

The author has something to say: I will mess with it when I come back, and I will mess with it after the card is over.

Then... until the [-]th, I will stick to the daily update because I have to rush to the ending and I can't delay any more. There are other books to write embarrassingly.Almost all of this point, cut off your back and try...
