[comprehensive] not human

The sudden attack forced Emiya Kiritsugu to stop at the last moment.He let go of Matou Kariya and rolled back to avoid his arm being nailed to the ground by the whistling halberd.There was only one Heroic Spirit with such an aggressive attack method. He raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a blond man standing on top of a zelkova tree.The other party was wearing a golden battle armor, shining in the dark night, with his arms folded around his chest, condescending, with a pair of bright red eyes staring at Emiya Kiritsugu: "Get lost."

With an exclamation, it was Hisu Maiya not far away.She was not as lucky as Emiya Kiritsugu, she who hijacked Matou Sakura was the key target of Archer.A long sword was not enough, the continuous weapons flew towards her with golden light, forcing Maiya to dodge continuously.

Cold sweat dripped from Emiya Kiritsugu's forehead, and he secretly thought something was wrong. Saber has already fought with Merlin, and she and Maiya alone can't compete with Archer, let alone other...

"Kotomine Kirei." Emiya Kiritsugu whispered the man's name from the beginning of the year.The priest in black was walking out of the woods with a black sword in his hand, expressionless, murderous, his eyes filled with astonishing fighting intent, he stared at Emiya Kiritsugu, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

In this Holy Grail War, the only person Kiritsugu really cared about was him, the assassination executor of the Holy Church, Father Kotomine Kirei.

In the dark jungle, while predators hunt their own prey, they also prick up their ears to be alert to the movement around them, because they themselves will become the prey of other predators.The wind brought the breath of the same kind, and the predator stopped eating, trembling its ears, waiting almost in fear for the arrival of another monster.

Yes, Kotomine Kirei is also a monster.Emiya Kiritsugu came to this conclusion the first time he saw him with his own eyes.

Because they are of the same kind.Cold-blooded and ruthless, he lives only for hunting.

Here, Emiya Kiritsugu confronted Kotomine Kirei silently as if facing a formidable enemy.The archer over there teased the exhausted female killer by bombarding him with weapons. Yanbai had reason to believe that if he hadn't applied a layer of protective magic to Matou Sakura, the unconscious little girl would have been killed by a fool like archer. The attack method was bombarded and smashed into scum, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had sent his own servants to rescue his daughter, would not have time to cry.

At this time, Gao Wen also stopped.After a silent struggle, he finally succeeded in disobeying the command spell.This was impossible, but the high resistance to magic granted by his position made this violation reasonable.The rotating sword of victory changed direction in Gawain's hands. He stopped and turned to face Emiya Kiritsugu, but he didn't make any further moves. Obviously he was hesitating whether to attack the black-clothed man whose back was facing him. Father, especially when his r loathing for himself was at its peak.

King Arthur has disappeared because of Matou Kariya's exhaustion, Emiya Kiritsugu is too busy to take care of himself, and of course he can't spare his hand to continue threatening Matou, and Hisau Maiya has long since let go of Matou Sakura, dodging the archer in embarrassment s attack.To a certain extent, the purpose of tonight has been achieved, and Yan Bai heaved a sigh of relief. It was not in vain that he used the crow to contact Tohsaka Tokiomi this morning. After all, he still sent his disciples and heroic spirits to help.

Emiya Kiritsugu also realized that if this continues, their side will be wiped out. Now that Meilin has not made a move, Maiya is already in danger. The most important thing is that he was going to kill Matou Kariya and capture Tohsaka Sakura The plan to threaten Tohsaka Tokiomi also failed, and it would be detrimental rather than beneficial to the side to continue in this stalemate.Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu decisively shouted to Saber: "Cover us to retreat! Maiya, let's go!"

Archer snapped his fingers and stopped the opening of King's Treasure.He didn't go after the two who were fleeing, and at the same time, he turned a deaf ear to Tokiomi's request, and yawned with a tired look on his face: "Tch, what a boring task." If it wasn't for Tokiomi's repeated requests, and Kotomine Kirei's Come on, he won't come to do such a boring thing.

Speaking of which, Kirei's Heroic Spirit was killed by the rider not long ago, the scarlet eyes fell on the back of the priest's head, and Gilgamesh's handsome face showed a malicious smile.That fellow Tokiomi said that this is the best opportunity to attack the rider team, because the little girl from the Appolchid family has brought Kenneth back to the country, and her silver-haired friend is also going to the Matou mansion, taking this opportunity to send an assassin Sneak attack.Although he had already recognized Tokiomi's degree of boredom before, after this incident, Gilgamesh's sense of the current r was refreshed again.

It's time for a change of courtier.The blond king thought casually, he had already found a new candidate for himself.

Kotomine Kirei was carrying the unconscious Matou Kariya on his back when he felt a sudden chill. He subconsciously looked towards the place where Archer was, but found that Archer was no longer there. Instead, it was the silver-haired young man who was hugging the teacher little daughter.The latter met Kirei's gaze, and said coldly, "Go see your teacher, I think he's in trouble."

The source of the trouble lies with Matou and Futosaka Sakura.After being sent back to Yuansaka House for inspection, everyone found that her body had been completely corroded by engraving worms, the magic circuits all over her body were filled with worms and their secretions, and there was an unusually shaped animal on her heart The crouching worm crouched, and the little girl had been transformed into a lair of magic bugs.

Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't hide his heartbroken expression, he muttered his daughter's name, he couldn't figure out how she could be treated like this.Obviously Matou Zouken promised to treat Sakura as an heir. In order not to waste his youngest daughter's talent and inherit the magic circuit of the "Royal Family" like her older sister, he reluctantly sent his beloved daughter there, but he didn't expect Killed Sakura.

The red gemstone scepter fell from Tokiomi's hand, and the man knelt in front of Sakura's bed, buried his face in the sheet, held his cold little hand, and choked out his daughter's name: "Sakura... "

But no matter how much he regrets now, it's too late.

Yan Bai also considered how to deal with the worms in Tohsaka Sakura's body, but he searched through the books and collections in his mind. From ancient times to the present, he only found a way to get rid of all the engraved worms in Tohsaka Sakura's body, including the one on her heart. An insect with a human face, but once this method is used, it is impossible for Tohsaka Sakura to become a magician from now on.

"Merlin." The soft voice recalled Yan Bai's thoughts, he turned around, and saw Artoria standing in the corridor, she had a delicate appearance and firm eyes, just like when she was alive in the past.

while alive.This thought stung Yan Bai, and he sighed unobtrusively: "My king."

"Thank you this time, if it wasn't for you, I still wouldn't be able to regain my sanity." Artoria was completely out of darkness at this time, wearing her most often worn blue dress, her long hair was coiled up, her waist was straight, Exuding a completely different demeanor from the chaos before.

Yan Bai smiled briefly: "It's my honor, can I have a private talk with you?"

Arturia nodded, walked into the study, and closed the door behind her with her backhand.She originally had a relaxed and happy expression, but Yan Bai's first words made her expression change drastically.

"Can you tell me the reason for your madness?" Yan Bai looked at Artoria, with a vague guess in his heart, but he still hoped that his friend could tell him personally, "The position of berserker is not for all heroic spirits, only Those heroic spirits who have a history of madness in their own lives or legends can become berserkers. Al, since you were a child, I have been by your side until that time when I left. When I looked at you, you never lost I am too rational, and even my desires are rarely indulged. So what happened after I was sealed back then."

Arturia didn't answer right away, she opened her mouth, then closed it again, and finally she was silent for a long time before she found a chair and sat down and said slowly: "After you escorted Vivienne away, due to pressure from the people and nobles, , I personally led the team to hunt down Lancelot and Guinevere, and then let them leave under the watchful eyes of dozens of Knights of the Round Table. Soon centering on this incident, dissatisfaction with me from all over the country increased rapidly ...I didn't expect that my act of forgiving them would cause such a big impact. Many people began to despise and loathe the Knights of the Round Table. Many knights present were killed when they left Guinivia, so the knights of the round table were divided into two factions, quarreling with each other. What happened later, what happened later, happened so fast that even now when I think about it, I can’t It's still like being in a nightmare."

Artoria paused, restrained her emotions, and then continued: "Morgan and Mordred rebelled, and I suppressed it. Mordred died suddenly the night before the decisive battle with me, and the rebel army was in a mess. I took the opportunity to breach it. However, after that, a rumor that I used black magic to kill my nephew spread quietly in the kingdom. The people were angry, and their backlog of dissatisfaction reached its peak. Rebel armies appeared all over the country. I... ..."

"Needless to say." Yan Bai immediately interrupted her, already guessing the follow-up.Arturia, who has always put the people first and dedicated her life, certainly cannot accept this blow. No matter whether nobles or knights, no matter how much they hate her, she can bear it. Only the people, how they used to be Worship her, and when you are disappointed, you will speak ill of her.Three people become tigers, not to mention the people of the whole country, under the pressure of everyone's mouth, Artoria can't bear this kind of blow, she...

"I lost my mind in the last days of my life, so much so that I committed suicide." Artoria continued as if she didn't hear Yan Bai's words. She raised her head to look at Yan Bai, and asked with a wry smile, "I Wasn't he a very failed king? He committed suicide because he couldn't face the disappointment of his people. I'm a coward."

"Al." Rao said nothing, and couldn't say anything to comfort her for a while.This is a knot that can only be untied by her own thinking, and no one else can untie her knot no matter how hard she tries, just like what he tried to do before.

Yan Bai fell silent, and Artoria fell into that nightmare memory again.For her, whether Morgan broke his promise or Mordred's rebellion, she could bear it and even understand it. Only the people's slander and disgust towards her later made her still unable to let go.She participated in the Holy Grail War because of this. She wanted to go back to the past and question those people. Why did they still think she was wronging the country after she gave everything for them?

She, King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, wronged the country?

Arturia couldn't help laughing, but the laugh sounded like crying.
