A certain salary's infinite journey

And Saber, who was slightly weak, her feet were pressed into the concrete ground faintly, raised her head, and assured her with a firm face:

"This time, let me defeat you with all my strength!"

This Ruler is so fair! (F/Z): Chapter 18 Lament of the Knights of the Lake

Lancelot's sword and King Arthur's sword collided fiercely in the alleys of Fuyuki City.

"drink!"

Although Artoria was below, she was not at a disadvantage in the slightest, and with a direct push, Lancelot was forcibly knocked down.

However, the opponent was worthy of being a member of the Knights of the Round Table. After rolling to the ground, he immediately stood up and continued to attack.

Seeing this situation, Artoria saw the right moment and slashed across with her sword.

"watch out!"

Lancelot closed his eyes tightly, swung his sword fiercely to block, and was then repelled by Artoria.

It's now!

Artoria rushed towards Lancelot with all her strength. She wanted to kill him in one fell swoop, otherwise she might be in danger, because the opponent was a knight of the round table after all.

"clang!"

Holding the undestroyed lake light with both hands, Lancelot struggled to resist Artoria's sword.

"boom!"

A huge force came from Artoria's hand, causing her to take a few steps back.

"You guys are really strong!"

Artoria's eyes gathered a cold light: "But even so, I can't let you continue like this."

Arturia immediately stomped her feet on the ground a few times, and turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Lancelot.

"Ahhhh!"

Facing Artoria's almost crazy attack, Lancelot snorted coldly, raised the undestroyed lake light with both hands at the same time, and went to fight.

"boom!"

Lancelot punched Arturia's abdomen, but Artoria had expected it, and dodged it the moment Lancelot punched it, and kicked directly at Lancelot with a roundabout kick. Sloat's chest.

"Oh!"

Lancelot staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Artoria swung her sword again and slashed at Lancelot.

Lancelot raised the undestroyed lake with both arms, trying to resist Artoria's sword.

However, he still underestimated Artoria's strength after all, and when his sword was just put on it, he felt that his sword was weighed down by a jack, and he couldn't lift it up.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Arturia's long sword had already been cut on Lancelot's wrist.

Black dirty blood splashed out, and Lancelot's right hand suddenly fell limply.

"Ahhh!"

Lancelot roared, and his body fell to the ground.

"boom!"

Before Lancelot could stand up, Artoria's body fell from the sky, and she repeatedly slashed at Lancelot's armor with the King's Choice Sword in her hand.

"Dangdangdang!"

The sword and the iron armor wanted to collide with each other, and a fierce flame burst out.

"what!!!!!"

Three times in a row, Lancelot's body suddenly flew far away like a kite with a broken thread, hit the wall, and then slid to the ground, let out a painful roar, foamed at the mouth, and his body convulsed endlessly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

While panting, Arturia looked at Lancelot who fell to the ground, with a look of unbearable expression in her eyes.

"Lancelot! Why, you are in such pain..."

"Now you only know killing, you only know slaughter, you only know how to pursue your own goals, and you never care about the lives of others. Is this the chivalry you have always pursued?"

The more Arturia spoke, the angrier she became, and a strong murderous intent emanated from her body. Her gaze at Lancelot became icy cold.

"Lancelot, answer me!"

"otherwise..."

As she spoke, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

However, in the face of such a sincere questioning, Lancelot just screamed, and then roared:

"King Arthur!!!"

Then, he rushed over in a desperate posture.

see.

"Lancelot!!!"

Artoria yelled, and the sword in her hand pierced Lancelot's chest directly...

In an instant, she felt as if time stood still.

And Lancelot held the Huguang of no regrets in his hand, which also told her that this former subordinate did not kill him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Lancelot..."

"Lancelot!!!!!!"

Artoria looked at the twitching man lying in her arms, with tears in her eyes, and the regret and sadness in her heart almost made her collapse.

"Why, why did you become like this!"

Artoria cried bitterly.

"Why! Why did you become like this!"

Lancelot still didn't wake up.

Those eyes that lost focus have already proved that his life is no longer...

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

Arturia hugged Lancelot and wept bitterly, her heart full of remorse.

"Lancelot, I'm sorry!"

"Lancelot!"

"sorry!"

Artoria kept repeating this sentence, it seemed that only in this way could her heart not hurt so much, it seemed that only in this way could she relieve the pain in her heart.

However, she overlooked one thing.

Even Lancelot is not eternal.

His body will slowly dissipate, and finally be completely wiped out, this is the destiny that has been doomed countless years ago.

"Lancelot..."

Artoria looked at Lancelot's body and burst into tears.

"Why are you always so stubborn to do what you think is right..."

"Why don't you listen to my advice!"

"Why are you so paranoid..."

"..."

Artoria touched Lancelot's cheek lightly, and couldn't help but think of the time when they worked together.

However, she knew very well that this was only the past after all.

As Lancelot's body turned into nothingness, a line of tears flowed from the corner of her eyes...

"It seems that this heroic spirit has fulfilled his wish..."

Kiana's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing her voice, Artoria immediately turned her head and glared at her:

"What's the meaning?!"

At this time, Qiyana was wearing more casual casual clothes,

With a faint smile on her face, she looks like a girl next door.

"Literally, because this involves the privacy of each heroic spirit, I, as the adjudicator, could not tell you

However, now that he is dead, there is no need for me to hide it anymore. "

Arturia heard this and immediately asked:

"Hiding what?"

Kiana let out a long breath.

As the adjudicator, she could see what some heroic spirits came here for.

And on Lancelot as Berserker.

Kiyana saw this sentence: "I came here because of my obsession with King Arthur, in order to be able to get rid of the self-blame brought about by not being punished."

Such a reason is very strange, but if the two of them are extremely standard knights, then it is not surprising.

After all, knights may care more about glory than life and death.

At the same time, the spirit of a soldier to die for his confidant is also the reason why the spirit of chivalry lasts for a long time.

A nearly perfect knight, Lancelot behaves exactly as she is.

"Cough cough."

In the end, following Kiyana's explanation.

Arturia finally realized where she was wrong.

In other words, she finally understood why Lancelot came here.

"Beating yourself up for not getting punished..."

She muttered to herself like this, completely unaware that Lancelot would suffer a lot just because he was not punished.

But... that seemed to be exactly what he could do.

"It seems that what the knight said is correct, I... don't understand people's hearts."

In the end, Artoria, who was full of self-blame, said such a sentence.

However, before she could continue to blame herself, Qiyana slowly reached out and stroked her face gently.

"There is no need to blame yourself, Saber, you will not be wrong, and neither will the king."

Kiyana said slowly.

She had actually said this to Kiritsugu not long ago.

"Saber has her own pursuit, her own persistence. Kiritsugu, maybe to you, human beings are just objects that need to be saved. But I want to tell you that people are people, not tools."

Facing Kiana's confession, Kiritsugu was noncommittal.

He lit a cigarette, then exhaled the smoke ring, his tired eyes were calm.

No conviction or approval whatsoever.

"But what does it have to do with the final result? As long as the goal of saving all mankind can be achieved, you, me, and Saber can all be sacrificed."

"Then what about your family? What about Irisviel and Illya?"
