I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The light is flowing.

The light roared.

The magic power was accelerated by the dragon factor that was freed from its restraints, and turned into a torrent of light.

The spiraling current engulfed the sea demon and the darkness of the night.

Above the river water, every molecule of the demonic giant that embodies fear was completely exposed to the scorching impact, and screamed in agony.

Caster, who was in the center of the sea demon, in the thick flesh and blood fortress, said nothing, but silently watched the moment of obliteration, as if his body and mind were taken away by the pure brilliance.

"...oh oh...oh..."

Yes—that was the light he had seen before.

In the past, didn't he once run on the battlefield as a knight in pursuit of this light?

The memories are so vivid and strong, pulling Jill back to the past.

At the long-awaited coronation of King Charles in Reims, a ray of light shone through the stained glass of the cathedral.

The white light was like a blessing, gently wrapping around everyone including Jeanne d'Arc and Gil, who were present as heroes of national salvation, accompanied by the joyful music of ArsNova.

Ahhh——yes, it’s this light.

He's still impressed. Even though he fell into the devil's path and let evil spread all over his body, the memory of that day never faded and was still deeply imprinted in his heart.

Even though his ending was full of humiliation and hatred, and he was despised by the world - only the glory of the past still existed in his heart, and would never be denied or subverted by anyone.

Something that neither gods nor fate can take away or tarnish...

Two lines of clear tears ran down his cheeks, and Gilles de Rais was at a loss.

What am I confused about, and what am I missing?

Isn't it enough to just look back on the past and admit your mistakes?

"What...what am I..."

Before he could finish this murmur, the pure white light took everything to another world.

………

Archer, who was sitting in the clouds and looking down at everything, looked at the light of destruction that burned everything with a smile on his face.

"Did you see it? The conquering king, that is the glory of Saber."

He said into the air beside him. Rider, who had just experienced a severe battle, stopped his chariot in mid-air and also looked at the aurora of the "Sword of Oath to Victory" in the distance.

"After witnessing that light, are you still unwilling to acknowledge her?"

Hearing Archer's question, Rider snorted. But what appeared on his face was not contempt, but a solemn look as if he was looking at something tragic.

"It has carried the hopes of the people of an entire era to be able to exert such power. It is precisely because it is so dazzling that it is heartbreaking."

"It is because she carries the hopes of all the people in the world that she can shine so brightly - although it is dazzling, it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel unbearable. Being willing to carry such a heavy burden proves that she is just a little girl who loves to dream."

Looking down at the river, you can see Saber's petite body panting from having just finished a fierce battle. After the question and answer session last night, Rider already understood what a heavy burden those weak shoulders carried, and he couldn't tolerate this kind of lifestyle.

"Such a little girl gave up on singing flowers and falling in love with butterflies, gave up on love, was bound by the curse called 'ideal', and finally ended up like that. It's really heartbreaking and I can't stand it anymore."

"That's what makes it cute, isn't it?"

Contrary to the melancholy expression of the Conquering King, the golden heroic spirit's smile was full of evil, not hiding the lustful desire in his smile.

"An ideal that is too lofty will eventually burn up the person who holds the dream. The tears that will flow out will be very sweet to lick."

Archer was content to let his imagination run free, and Rider gave him a sharp look.

"You and I really don't get along, Hero King of Babylonia."

"Oh? Didn't you realize it until now?"

Archer smiled slightly when he heard Rider's name.

"So, what are you going to do? Rider, are you going to vent your anger with force on the spot?"

"If possible, it would be very enjoyable. But to be your enemy, I have spent too much tonight."

Rider spoke frankly without bluffing, and gave Archer a mocking look.

"Of course, if you don't want to miss the opportunity and insist on taking action, I will always be with you."

"It doesn't matter. I allow you to escape, King of Conquerors. If I don't defeat you while you are in perfect condition, I will be dissatisfied."

Hearing Archer's calm declaration, Rider simply pulled the reins.

"Leave it for next time, King of Heroes. The duel between the two of us will be the greatest climax (harmony) to determine the winner of the Holy Grail War."

The heroic spirit Iskandar left a fearless smile and drove the chariot gradually away.

"Is this really true?...Only one person is qualified to die under this king's treasure, and that person may not be you, Rider."

The King of Heroes, who was talking to himself, was thinking about another heroic spirit. When it comes to the level of concern, the only person the King of Heroes really cares about is that person.

Tonight, that rare light reminded the original heroic spirits of the long past.

——A long time ago, there was a man.

He was a stupid and ridiculous guy who wanted to be on par with the Son of God even though his body was made of clay.

His arrogance, which knew nothing about heaven and earth, certainly offended the gods in heaven, and he died as a result of divine punishment.

The King of Heroes still can't forget the way he died in tears at the end.

The King of Heroes asked him, why are you crying? Do you regret standing on my side until now?

Not so, he replied.

"After I die, who else can understand you? Who else can move forward with you? My dear friend... I can't help but shed tears when I think of you being alone in the future..."

Just watching him take his last breath, the self-respecting king finally understood that the person who was a human being but wanted to live beyond human beings was more noble and sublime than all the wealth in the king's treasure house.

"Stretch your hands to the fool who is not human... There is only one person in the world who is qualified to love that kind of destruction, and that is me, Gilgamesh. Dazzling and illusory person, fall into my arms, this This is the decision made by this king.”

In the midst of wild laughter, the heavenly boat Vimana cut through the night sky.

………

On the bank of Weiyuan River, in the corridor of an inconspicuous residential building, Yan Ye was twitching all over and gasping for air.

At that moment when a ray of light symbolizing victory illuminated the night sky, his servant Berserker fell into an unprecedented rampage.

Even though Kariya used all his magic power to suppress it, this dark knight still waved the four newly obtained Noble Phantasms randomly on the deserted roof, leaving a series of thrilling scars on the cement floor. , even Yanye himself was affected, with several bloody wounds on his body.

If that dazzling light of victory fades any later, Kariya will have to use the Command Seal to protect his own safety.

Kariya, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the fence, looked at the dark servant who was gradually regaining his composure and sighed.

"Lancelot, are you obsessed with her to this extent?"

"...Ar...thur..."

For the first time, the first time he was summoned, the dark knight uttered a complete vocabulary, as if he had exhausted all his strength and gave everything he had. No one but himself could understand the complex emotions contained in it.

"That's right." Kariya closed his eyes, feeling the tragic wish that was unintentionally conveyed through the contract.

He thought of that dream again, that dream that was not his own.

——A woman is crying.

The woman lowered her voice and sobbed. Her beautiful cheeks were sunken with grief, and deep and incomprehensible lines were carved between her eyebrows.

She blamed herself.

Ashamed of oneself.

As a sinner who was forced to shoulder all the blame for her crimes, she would always shed tears.

Everyone pointed at her and said so - the unfaithful wife and the treacherous princess.

Those ignorant people who were blinded by the gorgeous legend and knew nothing about the truth continued to suppress and condemn her.

Little did they know that the husband who married her was not a man at all.

Only a noble man loves her with all his heart.

But the memory of that woman in his mind will always only contain tears of distress and sadness.

Yes. He also broke the woman's heart.

He fell in love with her——

She fell in love with him——

This is what the Fall is all about.

In fact, she had already looked away from it from the beginning.

If you want to save a crumbling country in troubled times, you need an ideal king - the king must be accompanied by a noble and virtuous queen. This is the image of a ruler that everyone longs for.

If such a beautiful ideal can be realized, the price of a woman's life is nothing at all.

Even if the king is not a man, even if this is just a formal marriage between a woman and another woman with a disguised gender, it doesn't matter. This sacrifice is necessary for the survival of the entire country.

Even so, he still wanted to save her.

From the first time he entered the palace and accepted the honor of meeting the king, he vowed to burn his life for that woman and give everything for her.

He sincerely hoped that the woman could smile and enjoy happiness.

By the time he realized that the reason for her pain the most was his longing, it was already too late.

She fell in love with him too.

She had given up on female happiness, for her love was the biggest taboo, but she still fell in love with him.

Even if this is a love affair that is not allowed by everyone, as long as you make up your mind, there should still be a path burdened with sin.

If you really want to save the woman you love, you will have to make this relationship happen even if you are the enemy of the whole world. This should be what men really expect.

But - he couldn't do that.

Just like she is not a "female" or a "human being", but is just a part called a "princess" to support Mingzhu's governance——

He is also not a "male", not a "human", he is just a device called a "knight" that is loyal to the king.

People call him the "Knight of the Lake" - superb in martial arts, fiercely loyal, elegant and gorgeous in his behavior. Everyone envied him and praised him as a person who showed the beauty of chivalry.

This ideal knight was not only praised by everyone, but also blessed by the elves. The title "Knight of the Lake" represents honor, but it is also a curse he carries.

The "perfect knight" who serves the "ideal king" - this is what people expect and entrust to this man, and he can only live in this way.

Such a life does not belong to the person involved, but to all those who believe in chivalry.

Moreover, the king he served was too flawless and an impeccable hero. Of course, it is impossible for the "Knight of the Lake" to harbor any treason against the unique "King of Knights" who saved the country from destruction.

He was loyal to his perfect master, and the two parties formed a noble friendship.

At the same time, he also knew that behind the honor of chivalry there was a sad woman who was being trampled upon and even ignored by the world.

At this point, he no longer knows which concept is correct.

Should we completely abandon our love for our children and implement our ideals? Or should we abandon morality and cherish what we love.

Just when he was struggling and worrying, wasting time in vain, the worst result finally befell him.

In order to bring down the king, someone devised a plan to expose the princess's infidelity to the world. In order to save the princess who was sentenced to death, he had no choice but to become an enemy of the king - and just like that, he lost everything.

The betrayal knight——

Because his disloyalty and injustice disrupted the harmony of the Round Table, he started a war and led to the country's defeat. People used to call him that with a mocking tone.

An infamy that is etched in the history of the past and will never be rectified.

So her tears are still wet, as she blames herself for letting a man who was once the Immaculate Knight go astray.

In the end, what did he do? He just made the woman he loved mourn and cry forever.

At least, if he was not a knight, would this relationship be possible?

If he was a shameless lowlife, he might be able to humiliate the Holy Lord and take away the princess without hesitation.

But he is a knight, and an overly perfect knight.

The king is his love rival and the culprit who makes his beloved woman embark on a thorny road. But he could never harbor an ounce of resentment against the king.

Yes, how could he condemn such a wise monarch? He is always braver and fearless than anyone else, nobler and more upright than anyone else, and is the king of great reputation who creates new worlds in difficult times.

A king of moderation who is honest and fair, values ​​friendship but not emotion, and has never made a mistake.

The king never blamed him. Even after he was expelled from the Round Table, fighting with him was a decision that had to be made to show fairness, not the king's original intention. Although his treachery was unpardonable, the king treated him with noble friendship to the end.

How could he hate and resent such a "perfect" Holy Lord?

But - in this case, where should his regret and the woman's sadness go?

This regret was brought to the world after death, picked out at the end of the river of time, and tortured him continuously in a place with no beginning and no ending... Finally, a call for prayer came from afar. .

The voice said: Crazy beast, come here; persistent resentful spirit, come here.

The voice called to him from the end of time.

The voice awakened his past desires.

If I were not a knight at all.

If he were just a lowly and savage beast, an evil ghost who had fallen into the realm of beasts, would he be able to fulfill his wish that he would regret forever?

Yes, madness is the cradle of redemption.

If you were a beast, you wouldn't feel lost. If you don't feel confused, you won't feel pain. As long as I can transform into a beast that can move freely according to its own desires without being expected or told by others——

This wish became a bridge, combined with the prayer at the end of time and space. At this moment, he was on an unknown battlefield.

He has forgotten his name and his oath of self-vigilance, and only knows how to fully display his superb killing skills. He has no self-respect to be ashamed of it and no soul to feel regret about it. This is who he is now known as "Berserker".

Nothing to regret. This degradation, this liberation, was what he had longed for in the past.

only--

only--

only--

Deep in his heart, there is still a deep desire - hope to be punished by the king.

The deeper part of the wish is an expectation that can never be fulfilled - to fight under the king's command once again and fight to protect the king.

because--

because--

because--

He is not the "Perfect Knight" or the "Knight of the Lake", he is just a man who likes her and his king.

Unknowingly, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, Kariya's tears, tears of self-deprecation.

"The love that is longed for but cannot be obtained, that can never be conveyed, we are really alike, Lancelot. That's why you were summoned by me."

but--

but--

but--

Even so, we still have things we must accomplish, right, Lancelot.

We must protect the most important people in our lives.

So, be patient a little longer, Berserker, and I will grant your wish.

I just don’t know who will fulfill my wish?
