The Last Asura King [comprehensive]

No need for anyone to say much, everyone will see that there is a very close connection between the black witch who appeared from the shadows and "Joan of Arc"-just as "Black Sky" and "Kartikeye" have similarities. The face of this witch covered in black is almost exactly the same as that of "Saint Joan of Arc".

However, no one would mistake or confuse the "witch" and the "saint". This is not only because the two have different hair colors or different clothing, but more importantly, the temperament of the two is very different, as if they are different from each other.

The blond-haired saint is compassionate and pure, while the silver-haired witch is proud and self-willed.This overly flamboyant temperament can even blur the similarities in facial features, making it very clear that "these are two different people" as soon as they meet.

Joan of Arc was pointed at her throat by the sharp black metal at the top of the flagpole, and subconsciously made a defense. Then she noticed the other party's face and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"You, you are—"

The black witch had no intention of concealing her identity, and proudly raised her head and announced: "I am Joan-Carrie. The newborn 'Jeanne' who received a new title from His Majesty the Lord. And you are such an ungrateful guy It's different, when I held His Majesty's hand in the flames, I decided to dedicate my body, mind and soul to Her Majesty, and I will always guard Her Majesty's side, so I don't need you, a hypocrite, to bother me!"

Joan couldn't believe her eyes—she had seen the "Dragon Witch" in the singularity of "Orleans", which could not have existed before, but the other party was just the product of Gilles' madness pinned on the Holy Grail , not "Joan of Arc", the witch in front of her is very similar to the "Dragon Witch", but this passage is enough to prove that she is not a product of the Holy Grail.

"Jeanne-Carrie... How is this possible? Obviously it will not exist... I once said to Gilles that even if I die in the fire and come back to life, I will not hold any resentment, because this is what I love The land where people live, is the country I love..."

The Lord of the Ice City sighed at this moment, interrupted the confrontation between the two girls, stretched out his hand and pressed on the battle flag, and the black witch immediately retracted the battle flag obediently, and also retracted the tense fighting posture, with both hands hanging on the ground. Beside him, he stood obediently, smiled flatteringly, and said softly, "It was the other party who spoke rudely first."He smiled helplessly and explained to the bewildered saint.

"Joan of Arc-Carrie is not a masterpiece of the Holy Grail, but one of the "innumerable possibilities Joan of Arc has in this life". 'Carrie' is a transliteration of 'black' in a certain language. At that time, she asked me for a new I didn't want to disqualify her as 'Jean of Arc', so I gave her the title of 'Carrie', and she has been with me since then. I am not what you imagine, pitiful and tragic alone against the world ——So, go back with peace of mind, return to your current companion, and continue your path of glory."

The black witch was appeased, and smiled contentedly.

After putting away the weapon, even if she is still wearing the armor for battle, the petite witch will give people a cute feeling of "a middle school girl imitating a game character". Only the most keen fighters can detect that there is a fatal blow hidden in the opponent's body of terror.

Joan of Arc chewed on the other party's words, and involuntarily looked at the black witch opposite.

Indeed, unlike the Dragon Witch of Orleans, she does not have the sneer and indifference of "mocking everything" that is always displayed outside, nor does she have the impulsive sense of being angry and irrational, but whether it is "sarcasm" or "anger" "None of them really disappeared from the witch, but they were hidden in a deeper place, restrained by reason, and wrapped by etiquette.

——That's right, it's just like "Black Sky".

Joan of Arc has never pursued the "death" of the distant past to the Heroic Guard Palace, nor has she ever talked to anyone about the "accidents" in her life that are different from the historical records, but she is sure that she is all the people who are summoned to Chaldea today. Among the Heroic Spirits, the one who knows "Black Sky" best.

That fire torture did not fail to cause harm to Joan of Arc. "Black Sky" appeared at the last moment and brought her out of the flames. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the territory of Giles from the place of judgment. However, although she did not die Burning, the flames still left traces on Joan of Arc. The "Lord" gave Joan the "enlightenment", but did not give Joan the immortal body that would not be harmed by swords, weapons, water and fire.Because of this, she recuperated for a long time, and during her recuperation, "Hei Tian" was always there.Giles invited a reliable doctor to treat her, and sent an excellent maid to take care of her. He nervously led a small number of cronies to patrol the edge of the territory, fearing that one day those who accused Joan of Arc as a devil would appear at any time and once again Joan of Arc brought back to the Land of Judgment.However, Joan was even more convinced that no one came to bother her because of what "Heitian" had done secretly.

At that time, the two were more like neighbors. After a while, "Heitian" would come to her resting place, talk to her, and when he was in a good mood, he would personally push her wheelchair and take her out to bask in the sun—although "Heitian" "Sky" himself stands in the shadow where the sun can't reach most of the time.During such a short period of peace, Joan and Hei Tian had a lot of conversations, about the scenery, history, political situation, and Joan’s past. During these years, Hei Tian would sometimes talk about himself things.

Why did the other party appear at that time, just to save himself.This question has been lingering in Joan's heart for a long time, so she asked more than once. In most cases, "Hei Tian" would pretend that she didn't hear it. Only once in a while, "Hei Tian" answered Joan of Arc seemingly casually. .

——I didn't come here for you, I just happened to see this scene. I was unable to change similar things before, but now that I have this ability, I can't help but want to try it, so you don't need to be grateful.

Joan of Arc came to Fuyuki City this time and saw "Kartikeye", and she finally understood the meaning of that sentence back then.

However, if "Kartikeye" is one of "innumerable possibilities in Black Sky's life", then what is the opportunity for the "Black Witch" in front of her to embark on a complete journey with "Saint Joan of Arc"? different path?

Joan could only think of one answer, and great sadness welled up.

"Are you the 'I' who... died in the fire... with a grudge?"

Joan of Arc Carrie just sneered sarcastically and did not answer.

The lord of the ice city turned his head and glanced at the black witch. The witch who emerged from the flames quietly disappeared into the shadows again. Then he said to the blonde saint: "As you guessed, Joan of Arc - Carrie was born in flames. When the flames of the Holy See burned to death a human girl named 'Jean of Arc', in countless worlds, 'Jean of Arc' forgave 'bewitched by the devil' again and again Humanity', but there is also a world's 'Jean of Arc' who begged the Lord's redemption in agony as she was dying, and yet it was the 'Lord' who answered her for the second and last time."

The young man who called himself Heitian raised his eyes to Joan of Arc, his indifferent expression softened the original sharpness because of the subconscious compassion.

"Her 'lord' answered her: die in the fire, that you may be called holy, and that you may be praised."

Joan shook her head in disbelief, her body trembled from the shaking of her spirit, and she took a step back uncontrollably, as if she wanted to escape from this kind of answer.

"No, how is it possible—how could this be?!"

"Because only the 'dead' can be 'canonised', even the 'Holy Son' died on the cross, didn't he?"

The lord of the ice city smiled softly, like a sarcasm, but also like a sigh.

"Has there ever been a person who was canonized alive in this world? A great life must end with a dramatic death, so as to ensure that the one who is pushed to the altar will never fall. Joan of Arc, if you are the one who gets this response , will there be absolutely no trace of resentment and unwillingness in your heart?"

Joan of Arc was struck by this terrible truth, and she didn't speak for a long time.

After the silence lasted for more than ten minutes, Joan of Arc gave an answer.

"I only know that I—I am here at this moment will not hold any grudges, and I will be happy to die in the fire according to the Lord's instructions, as long as my death can inspire people at that time. However, I cannot guarantee All 'Jeans of Arc' never hesitate."

The lord of the ice city smiled and told the story of a long time ago.

"People cheered 'the witch is dead', because they were afraid of the witch's resurrection, so they completely smashed her charred body, sprinkled the powder into the river, and reveled all night for the witch's death. I waited for three days, After everyone dispersed, another fire was set at the place where the execution was originally performed."

Jeanne was taken aback.

"Master Heitian, you set fire—" She wanted to ask "Why", but when she said this, she already knew the answer.

The lord of the ice city affirmed Joan's guess with a gentle smile.

"Among the extremely cold flames, a resentful soul wandering in the world appeared in front of me, so I asked her, would you like to come with me?"

He paused at this moment, looking at Joan of Arc, as if expecting the other party's answer.

Joan was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, she chose to follow you."

"So, I tempered her soul with flames, and gave her the title of 'Kari', which is used to correspond to the shining saint. The saint who voluntarily fell into darkness is named 'Black'. Too much."

The lord of the ice city ended his memories.

"If we have reached a consensus today, forget about today's meeting. You are still a flawless saint, and you don't need to have anything to do with shadows."

Joan of Arc did not respond according to the other party's expectations, and resolutely replied: "No! I will never forget meeting you, and I will never break my promise today!"

"... Tsk." The Lord of Ice City rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said after a while, "If you insist, during this Holy Grail War, go and take care of your current 'Master', but Don’t let that guy do anything foolish, just finish the Holy Grail War honestly.”

Joan of Arc hesitated for a while, but still couldn't refuse such a clear request from the other party, so she nodded and agreed.

"I understand, Master Heitian, if this is the 'repayment' you want, then I will do it."

After Joan of Arc left, the black witch appeared quietly again, and said teasingly: "Humph, Your Majesty really didn't mean it, and asked Joan of Arc to help him while saying how stupid and troublesome King Asura is. I went to save him on purpose before—there is no way that Jin Yingxiong can kill King Ashura!"

The lord of the ice city didn't even move his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and asked back: "Speaking of which, who cried and begged me back then, even if there was only one world, even if there was only one time, hoping that I could save 'Jean of Arc' in the flames?" ?”

Joan of Arc-Kari fell silent immediately, and disappeared at the speed of light.

The lord of the ice city laughed softly.

If it wasn't for Joan of Arc Carrie's request, he certainly wouldn't refuse to help when "Joan of Arc was executed at the stake", but he wouldn't go out of his way to find it, and would appear in time. It was originally "deliberate", but Not "just passing by".

It is precisely because he is in the shadows that he is full of hatred for the person wearing the glory, and wants to drag the other party into the same abyss, but he can't help but want to protect that innocent and pure glory.

In the final analysis, he is only one of the countless possibilities in the life of "Shiina Kyo", which does not mean that he and that "Kartikeya" have gone through exactly the same life. Different choices lead to different paths.

"Loved Asura King" - what kind of life would be like that, I feel creepy just thinking about it a little bit.

Whether "being hated" or "being loved" bears the life of the deceased, the only difference is that being hated does not bring any psychological burden.

The golden-eyed and sharp-eared Asura royal family disappeared into the shadows.

The author has something to say:

There are two settings about the birth of Hei Zhen here, which is different from the game, so the name has also been changed, not Joan of Arc-Alter.

Obviously, the so-called Lord’s response was also made up by me, it’s not a real legend, so please don’t take it to heart.

-

Hei Zhen: You don't mean what you say!

Hei Jing: Your love is hard to express!

come!Hurt each other!
