gaze of war

Slowly Morrigan floated higher.Her feet were hanging casually, and there was no point of support underneath.

She looked like a cold and mysterious girl when she had no wings, but as long as someone noticed her eyes, they would be shocked by the life-like blood in those eyes.

Under the abyss, what surges is the long river of blood...

And now she was looking at Lancer with these cold eyes.For Lancer's bow, she neither expressed satisfaction nor showed sarcasm.She just watched like that, silently and expressionlessly, staring at the heroic spirit half kneeling on the ground.

The clear liquid slid over the edge of the cheek, dripped down the chin to the ground, and kicked up a wisp of dust.

Diarmuid felt the slight touch of the cold liquid, and his mind went blank—no, maybe it was because of too much confusion, too many thoughts were completely mixed together, but he didn't know which thing to think about .Betrayal, abandonment, battle, loyalty, escape, poisoning, wish, holy grail, heroic spirit, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty...

loyalty.

Yes.

Make a wish to the Holy Grail, if you want to live a new life, you must remain loyal to the Lord until the end in this life, until you completely dedicate this humble life-the life given by the Holy Grail to your Lord, and then return to the other world.The other world - the domain where the dead live, is the world dominated by Morrigan.To burn one's life on the battlefield, and then give one's soul to Morrigan, that's the best outcome, isn't it.Whether it is the lord or the goddess, they will definitely be satisfied with such an arrangement.

He is a knight, a knight in the service of his lord.

While he was human, he didn't know what was most important to him.

But during the thousands of years of being a Heroic Spirit, he figured it out—completely, figured it out.

To be loyal to the lord in life, and return to the embrace of the goddess after death, this is the most suitable ending for a knight.

"Ah... so, even this opportunity you prayed for from that filthy thing called the Holy Grail, are you planning to use it to carry out your knight's loyalty?"

Morrigan spoke suddenly, and the smile on her face couldn't be called a smile in the usual sense at all.She just felt that this action should be made at this time.

So she laughed.

He smiled maliciously and mockingly.

"Loyalty? Hahaha... It would be better to say that you are deceiving yourself, Diarmuid Odina. Are you indulging in such delusions about the master-servant relationship connected by that false and dirty existence? "

Morrigan was furious.From the main body of the Hall of Valor to the projected □.Diarmuid Odi's body made of spiritual power was full of unpleasant blasphemous factors.Even though the knight, who was a human being, didn't feel this, but for her, who was a half-full projection of a god, it was the whole body of the knight that was exuding an unsettling smell.

...I really want to... tear up...

Morrigan gritted his teeth.Even though the overall power is endowed by that ominous thing, the soul itself is still the youth she cares about.You can't withdraw that power yet... If you do it roughly, it will definitely shatter the young man's soul.

Be patient... Now, it's not enough...

But the flames of rage were burning Morrigan, making her look even more dangerous.A miniature storm rolled up around the girl, and her fluttering long hair showed her furious mood.She spoke again, and her voice was already like a snake hissing, making her whole body chill.

"Well done, human... I found it from ancient times, projected from the Hall of Valor, and all I found was a fool named as a knight... Since I was born, I have never been abandoned twice by the same person... ...Diarmuid Odina... you are really... audacious!!!"

Lancer didn't move.

Even though he already felt the strong wind of divine power coming towards his heart.

If Morrigan took back this life, it would be considered a very happy ending for him.

At the moment when the power was approaching, he slowly closed his eyes.Waiting for the moment when the strong wind penetrates his heart.

lancer!What are you doing!

Time stands still.

Lancer's heart pounded.

That is……!

Lord Kenneth's voice!The lord is in danger!

but……

Lancer!

The spearman turned his body sideways at a speed that the naked eye could not catch up with, letting the deadly flow of force brush past his chest.There was no doubt a horrific scar, but what hurt more than that was seeing Morrigan's face.

It was an expression mixed with panic, astonishment, and disbelief—it was obvious that Morrigan didn't really want to take his life, and perhaps it was just the result of the runaway power.He doesn't know the difference between being killed by other servants who are also heroic spirits and being killed by a god... In his current state, he will be "purified" immediately at the moment of death—along with the projection The body and the resident consciousness together.

In any case, his evasion at the last moment was absolutely contradictory to Morrigan...

Just like in the age of mythology, by the time he found out, he had put other things above himself—!

"I'm sorry, Morrigan! I have to rescue my master—after this is done, I will definitely come back and accept all your punishments!" Lancer said hurriedly, without waiting for Morrigan's answer, he said He ran away without looking back.

...Oh, sorry?

Morrigan watched silently in the direction he was leaving.

The anger that had been suppressed due to panic was rekindled, and it was more intense than before—but his mind calmed down.It took a lot of effort, and it was hard to get here with the help of my sister. If I ended everything because of a momentary impulse, even I would not be able to forgive such an ending.

Not just kill him—the traitor.

Betrayal, betrayal, betrayal... Humans who are always betraying themselves in different ways... This man——!

Diarmuid Odina!

Morrigan lowered his face slowly, letting the falling hair cover his eyes.

"The Holy Grail... is it? If you want your wish so badly, then..."

I just want to destroy it.

Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald, the ninth-generation head of the British magic family Archibald, a first-level lecturer of the Clock Tower Spirituality Department, has profound knowledge and strong strength.Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, arrogant and self-confident, he has been dubbed a genius since birth, and has never tasted the taste of failure-until the student stole the holy relic that was supposed to summon Alexander the Great.This is the first time in his life that he has encountered such a setback that he was caught off guard.

Solana Zele Sophialie, the daughter of the head of the Spirit Department of the Clock Tower, and the fiancée of Kenneth Elmeloy Archipelod, has red hair and red eyes, has a flame-like beauty and a snow-like temperament, and is full of magic power , because he is not a legitimate son, he is not eligible for the magic seal, so he is destined to exist for marriage from birth.

And Miss Sola's current marriage partner is naturally Kenneth who has a strong family background and strong personal strength.

Kenneth loved the lady deeply, but the lady didn't take this genius seriously.

This is lancer's current owner - not one, but two.

The real master who carries the Command Spell - Kenneth.

The hidden master who provides magic power - Sora.

And the genius lecturer who separated the command spell from the magic power by secret technique is distorting his face at this moment, his haughty face is full of anger, and even the tendons on his forehead are bursting out.He reprimanded the follower's late return in an extremely disgusted tone: "What are you doing! How dare you ignore my order and leave without authorization, and you will not come back until I summon you twice!"

Kenneth ordered Lancer to wander around Fuyuki City and release his breath unscrupulously.It was as if he was provoking the participants of the Holy Grail War in the entire Fuyuki City. He never considered whether the followers would be mobilized to attack—no, if such a consequence was successfully achieved, he would instead be attacked by others first. Let's feel triumphant with the exposure of the abilities of the participants and Heroic Spirits.

As for whether the servants will suffer from such behavior, this is not something he considers at all.

This follower is not the one he expected, so he has no pity for him.

Heroic spirits should be wandering around to attract other competitors, why did they stay in that remote place for so long?This Heroic Spirit claimed to participate in the Holy Grail War in order to be loyal to the master, but he disobeyed the master's order first. From this point of view, it is indeed a lie.

Lancer—this Heroic Spirit must be planning something behind his back.

Kenneth is very sure.

"Forgive me, my lord."

Lancer knelt obediently on the ground.He didn't justify, nor did he have any dissatisfaction.Failure to fulfill the master's order was his fault as a knight, so even if the master punishes him, it should be done.

"Answer me, lancer! Why on earth are you staying in that place!"

Kenneth thought that the spearman was deliberately trying to avoid answering by showing weakness, so he flew into a rage.

"Please forgive me, my lord." Lancer bowed his head deeply, but still refused to tell the truth.

The ancient gods came to this world because they were looking for him, and they wanted to take his life because of what happened in his life—how to explain such a thing?If he said it, the master would definitely think that he was avoiding the battle—the battle to win the Holy Grail for him, so he made up such an absurd lie.

"...You, you..." Kenneth trembled with anger.Even though he firmly believed in Lancer's ulterior motives a long time ago, he still felt that his proud self-esteem had been trampled down on such superficial resistance.

"okay--"

Accompanied by the sound of the door lock opening, there was a clear and piercing female voice.

A woman with short red hair walked into the room with a calm face, and locked her locks behind her.

"I heard you scolding Lancer right outside the door. You roared so loudly that even passers-by outside could clearly hear you. Aren't you ashamed of such a gaffe, Kenneth?"

No, there are no passers-by.

In this Hyatt Hotel, which has been turned into Kenneth's exclusive magic workshop, the twenty-odd floors of the building have been completely remodeled. If it is not allowed, not even a single insect can enter, let alone a stranger passing by.

But his beloved fiancée reprimanded him so much, but Kenneth couldn't refute it.He could only contort his face, and stopped questioning Lancer, but made a strong note of Yingling in his heart.

Solana Zele Sophialie looked around the luxuriously decorated suite, her eyes passed over Kenneth steadily, as if he was an object that was indistinguishable from the furnishings of the room, and then she fixed her eyes on Lancer, Showed a displeased expression.

"What happened again?" She raised her chin slightly, and looked at Kenneth with a little disdain, "Every time I come to you, I always see you scolding Lancer. Aren't you completing your task very well?"

"Sola!" Kenneth couldn't bear the contemptuous gaze from his fiancée, but lowered his voice as if afraid of her anger, "This lancer, how dare he ignore my order, stay here without authorization, and refuse to answer my questioning ! As a follower, to be so arrogant..."

"I'm afraid you made a mistake, Kenneth? Maybe it's just because Lancer noticed the traces of the enemy's heroic spirit, so he was investigating."

Frustrated by his fiancée's categorical denial, Kenneth frowned tightly, trying to explain: "No, Sola..."

"Okay." Sora interrupted his defense impatiently, looking uninterested in hearing his explanation.She patted Lancer's back lightly, making him stand up.

Lancer knelt as stiff as a stone statue, unresponsive to her gestures.

Sola immediately understood his reason for not moving.

As a heroic spirit, Lancer regretted his failure to be loyal during his lifetime. After becoming a heroic spirit, he absolutely obeyed his lord—only the lord's order would make him act. If the lord is angry with him, then he is In any case, it will not violate the will of the lord.

She lowered her eyes in dissatisfaction, and then yelled at Kenneth unhappily: "Let him get up! I don't like to see people kneeling."

"...Did you hear what your mistress said? Don't stand up for me yet!" Kenneth froze for a moment, and growled at Lancer unwillingly.He knew in his heart that Lancer's reason for staying was definitely not what his fiancée said, but he couldn't object to his fiancée's obvious defense.

Lancer lowered his head and stood up. He stood respectfully on the spot, waiting for his master to give him an order—but at this moment, the huge wound on his chest came into view of the two masters.The redness constantly blurring on the blue combat armament and the pale face of the gunman showed the seriousness of the wound - being able to maintain consciousness was already a remarkable achievement.

The red-haired mistress screamed.She anxiously grabbed Lancer's arm, trying to replenish the heroic spirit's magic quickly with the blood containing magic power, and at the same time gave Kenneth a loud order to let him activate the healing magic.Healing magic is not a difficult task for a magician who has the attributes of wind and water, but Kenneth looked at his fiancée's heartache, and from the bottom of his heart he was unwilling to give any help to the heroic spirit who took away his fiancée's care.

"Kenneth! Do you want to quit the Holy Grail competition right here!" Sora screamed—even though she was full of disdain for this man, she knew him very well—this man would never quit willingly like this , which is a huge stain on "genius".

Kenneth unleashes the healing magic.Under the magic of the hostess and the magic of the host, Lancer's wound slowly began to heal.But he still looked very tired.

"Master... please forgive my rudeness..."

After insisting on pleading guilty, Lancer was unable to maintain the entity, and turned into nothingness within the range visible to the naked eye, almost even his two masters could not perceive his existence.

Kenneth fell into a gloomy obsession.

... In this war, is there such a powerful enemy?This is Lancer, one of the three major classes!

It seems... For this war, he needs to work harder...
