Lancelot felt that the black fog surrounding his consciousness was gradually dissipating, and the madness and murderous intent in his heart were also quickly fading.
Are you going to return to the constellation Valor?
I think the main body, which basically only responds to summons as a Saber job, will regret seeing this memory.
After all, that kind of strategy——
"Oh, this is so embarrassing. He actually took the initiative to tell his wishes before he died."
"..."
Who is speaking in front of you?
"And it still appears in this normal form. What can I do? Put a bucket on his head?"
"..."
No, if there is such a concept as "in front of", it means——
"You make it easy. Who knows what he 'wants to see'? The original dream of Black and White Saber has been ruined by my wife and Kiritsugu, okay?"
"..."
Although he didn't know what the sudden appearance of the girl's voice was about, the "saber" in her words still caught Lancelot's attention, so he opened his eyes.
This seemed to be a "modern" style reception room. He was sitting across a coffee table from a black girl wearing a dark red skirt and a pink kimono. Oh, she also had a pheasant knife in her hand.
There was no one else in the room, maybe the person the girl was talking to was not here.
As for himself, he put on a black suit that he had seen Rider wearing before, and he didn't have any weapons - or in other words, he couldn't use force.
"Well, cough!" Noticing that Lancelot woke up, the girl covered her mouth with her fist and cleared her throat, then picked up the pheasant knife beside her and looked at him: "So, berserker, do you have any doubts about this war?
Or regret?"
"No, not really, I am very satisfied." Lancelot replied.
"Huh?" The girl in kimono had an incredible expression on her face: "You clearly said before you died -"
"I hope to see the future of that lily-like girl, but I don't want to see it." The Knight of the Lake shook his head slightly.
"You said crazy things that fit your status as a berserker... How do you understand this?" the girl asked, tilting her head to the air beside her.
"..."
"Are you kidding? No, wait, it seems to be possible."
It was some kind of magic communication device, and Lancelot waited quietly.
During this Holy Grail War, I was in a state of frenzy almost the entire time, and would lose control when I saw Saber. I had almost no communication with others. Even the Master who could communicate with me only regarded myself as useful.
Props.
What's more, because he was in a state of madness and unable to communicate, Ryunosuke would not avoid or hide many things from him, such as the matter of cooperation with Caster. During the attack on Einzbern Castle, he and Caster ended their discussions.
Finally, Caster directly knocked down his attributes by two levels to get out of the battlefield.
At that time, he was still a little confused. With the strength that Caster showed, why was he considered to be ignored in this war? Later, he discovered that the strength that Caster showed in front of other Masters and Servants was simply the tip of the iceberg.
For example, isn't this kimono girl who can still move freely and even undergo transformation in her roots look exactly like the "Lin Hao" who was abducted by herself disguised as a rider?
Therefore, it is not difficult to accept that she who was supposed to return to the Heroic Soul Seat would appear here. Judging from her doubts and wishes when she asked herself, she may need to leave without regrets to achieve a certain purpose.
Combined with what her incarnation and caster are doing together, the answer is already obvious.
"We have already decided which King Arthur we want you to watch!" The kimono version of "Lin Hao" finished the discussion and turned to face Lancelot: "I will definitely make up for your regret!"
"I'm looking forward to it." Lancelot nodded, deciding to look satisfied even if the future was not so satisfying.
After all, what he has done is irreversible, and it is useless even if he sees "Lancelot" in another world living a good life.
"Very good, let's hit the road~" The girl in pink kimono waved the pheasant sword in this direction.
A red summoning array rose from the soles of his feet and swallowed him whole.
??:???:??
"Oops, look who was summoned this time? Are you planning to kidnap the queen again?"
Just after he recovered from the dizziness caused by being summoned, Lancelot heard a familiar taunt. The younger brother of the Sun Knight Gawain, Aguewen, was killed by him when he blocked his meeting with Guinevere.
"you……"
Could it be that he was sent back to a time when the Knights of the Round Table still existed? But what he said about "kidnapping the queen again"...
"Look who this is?" "Lancelot, Knight of the Lake~"
"You can't even think of running away this time~" "It's useless even if you kill us~"
No, that's not right. The brothers Gareth and Gahoris were killed when they were robbing the law field. If they were here too, could they have been sent to the kingdom of the dead?
Lancelot couldn't hide the shock on his face and looked around hastily. He found that the architectural layout here was very similar to the familiar Round Table Hall of Camelot, but what was going on with the many knights?
Not only were the knights killed by him in front of him, but also the young knights who were talking to each other not far away were very different in age in his impression, and some of them had even never met each other before - they were all heroic spirits.
Another Holy Grail War? But how could anyone summon the entire Knights of the Round Table?
No, yes, if it’s that person——
"If you guys want to duel with Sir Lancelot, I won't stop you, but if you die, you will bear the consequences."
A familiar yet unfamiliar harsh voice sounded behind him, making him tremble all over.
"I'm so sorry! My king——" The three knights who had lost their lives at the hands of Lancelot all bowed and retreated, but Lancelot himself hesitated and did not dare to turn around.
"You can rest assured, Sir Lancelot, I did not summon Guinevere." The voice said with a hint of joking.
"Even if you have just been summoned, this is too rude, Lancelot." If the king's voice made Lancelot excited, Gawain's disgusted voice made him calm down instantly.
Yes, that's right, this is not other people's world line, this is the world that I passed away sadly after making all kinds of irreparable mistakes. Legend has it that King Arthur did not die but went to Avalon. Look.
It's true.
"My King——" Lancelot quickly turned around and half-knelt down to salute, but when he raised his head, he was stunned.
No matter whether the king is not a heroic spirit but a living person, or whether the king is holding a holy spear instead of a holy sword, they are not as eye-catching as her figure, which is far beyond her original growth.
"Ahem! Although the knights who originally thought the king was a [short male] would be shocked by this, but you know the true face of the king, this performance is too exaggerated." Gawain hit the ground with his scabbard in an attempt to wake up Lancelot.
, but it has no effect.
"Oh, let me do it." The mature version of Arturia, who was unable to wear the original men's armor due to her growth, was wearing blue women's heavy armor, laughed, and raised the holy spear glowing with white light in her hand.
"[Calm down!](rhongomyniad)!"
Lancelot, who had just been summoned to New Camelot, spun and flew out of the Knights of the Round Table hall.
————
"Hahaha~ You deserve it~ I let you look at my father like that~"
After being embedded in the wall for nearly an hour, a girl with golden and tiger teeth wearing simple red armor came over to rescue Lancelot.
"But after she stabbed you like this, she probably lost all her anger. You should work hard in the future. Anyway, there is neither Guinevere nor Morgan here."
"Mordred?" Lancelot looked at the familiar armor on the girl with slight surprise: "Why do you also-"
As a rebellious knight, he should not respond to the king's call under any circumstances.
"Humph, forget it, this is a forced summoning, a forced summoning," Mordred's eyebrows dropped, "It's not enough to stab me to death, so you forcefully summoned me and stabbed me again~"
"Haha, you deserve it~" Lancelot responded in kind.
"Bang!" Mordred threw Lancelot, who was unable to move due to the deformation of his armor, back to the ground, and then left angrily: "You can figure it out yourself!"
"Hey, wait~ at least tell me what's going on here!" Lancelot stretched out his hand with difficulty.
A steel gauntlet grasped Lancelot's hand and pulled him up.
"Let me tell you." Gawain patted away the magic power added by Artoria on Lancelot's armor to restore it, and then stared at the Knight of the Lake: "I hope you will not choose to betray the king's cause again."
"Of course not," Lancelot finally understood that he should have been sent to the future by the girl, the future where the history he had experienced existed. "I really want to know what happens after we die."
————
This is the "New Camelot" three thousand years later, and it is also the end of the world.
After King Arthur failed in the Battle of the Sword Parade, he asked Bedivere to return the broken steel sword (exca1ibur) to the Lake Fairy, otherwise she would not be able to die because of this sword. However, Bedivere was not willing to see the king die and was pretending
After discarding it twice and failing, he simply sealed the holy sword into his right arm and fled.
King Arthur, who was frustrated at the center of the Battle of the Sword Parade, was supposed to go to Avalon under the guidance of the Fairy of the Lake who received the holy sword. However, Bedivere's actions prevented her from leaving. In order to avoid seeing Britain because of her own
Falling apart due to her fault, the girl chose to sleep forever until the whole world became the "Earth of Steel".
The holy spear rhongomyniad owned by King Arthur was awakened in order to cope with the doomsday. It also awakened Artoria, who had been sleeping for thousands of years. Without the suppression of the holy sword, the girl's figure grew normally and lasted for several years.
Thousands of years of hunger have turned her appetite into a bottomless pit. Only her strong willpower prevented her from falling into endless appetite, but her temper became more violent as a result.
"So, the king's 'career' refers to -" During the conversation, Gawain had brought Lancelot to the gate of New Camelot, while Lancelot was fascinated by the endless wasteland outside the city.
shocked.
"The king's holy spear can guide humans to another world - not in the sense of death. As a heroic spirit, you should have seen those worlds," Gawain looked at the wasteland town formed around Camelot.
"Yes, for example, there must be a world that has the same time as this world, but does not have an apocalypse." Lancelot nodded.
"This kind of guidance is very energy-consuming, so the number of places is limited, so people with hope gather here," Gawain pointed to the surrounding gathering places: "And our mission is to protect everyone before they are sent away.
safety.”
"This is exactly what a knight should do." Lancelot had no objection to this: "So, who is the enemy?"
"The fact that we can respond to the call proves that Alaya is on our side, even though she is very weak," Gawain pulled out his sword and walked towards the outskirts of the gathering place, "And the enemies are naturally those'
Gaia's Monster'."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently, and countless huge black shadows of different shapes appeared from a distance. They were the rock giants known as the guardians, the wildebeests with the two horns of demon-breaking and indestructible attributes, and the evil eyes with eyes that ignored any dodge movements.
, and a black beast with an indefinite shape and no fatal parts.
Lancelot retracted his gaze from observing the enemy and noticed that the Knights of the Round Table had already walked out one after another, while the residents of the gathering place had hid in their homes.
"Those black-armored knights are..." Lancelot asked Gawain who was preparing for battle beside him.
"Haha, naturally they are the Round Table who are tired of fighting and betrayed." Gawain glanced at Lancelot with an unclear look: "The knight who died in the battle will be summoned again by my king, but before that, he will be raised by Gaia
The deal is on the condition of giving up this incarnation and no longer accepting the call of this world, and returning to the Throne of Heroes. After all, this is just one of thousands of parallel worlds."
"How can you get tired of fighting under my king's banner?" Lancelot held onto the indestructible lake light: "Let them come!"
??:???:??
"Are you still satisfied? Artoria, who is full of hope, gives hope to others, and is eliminating all pain and misfortune?"
Returning to the reception room again and seeing the girl who seemed to be "Lin Hao", Lancelot felt as if he was in another world.
Since being summoned, he has gone through twelve brutal siege battles. As the wasteland residents have become fewer and fewer, the number of siege monsters has increased, and the number of knights responding to Artoria's call has also begun to decrease.
Although there are active betrayers, the main reason for the decrease is not that they are tired or betrayed, but that the Alaya of that world can no longer maintain the connection between the world and the Heroic Soul Seat. During the last few battles, Arturia was unable to even stay in the city to continue.
Summoning the Round Table and having to go into battle in person.
Fortunately, at the last moment, she successfully transferred to other worlds with the remaining residents. As for the remaining Round Table... they could only fight to the end.
"I am very honored to fight alongside my king," Lancelot's luxurious but scarred armor began to glow with countless golden light spots: "I have no regrets in this life."
"If you want to see Artoria with a gun, remember to grab the Saber job next time you answer the call~" Lancelot, who was about to disappear, heard the girl say: "She can only be summoned as an Ancer job~"
Got it... no, wait? This sentence means -
In his field of vision that was almost filled with golden light, Lancelot saw the familiar blue and white figure standing behind the girl who seemed to be Lin Hao.
"It's too late to regret, bye~" he finally heard the girl in pink kimono say.
