The indiscriminate attack caused by Cu Chulainn's alter has a very wide range.
Including Leonidas and the unknown berserker who were fighting at the city gate were also involved. Even the battle was useless. The continuous magic shock wave dug out an irregular depression in the earth, the castle, the ground, and the soldiers.
, all the followers were evaporated.
During this indiscriminate attack, Mashu was hugged by Scathach along with Fujimaru Ritsuka because his shield was placed on the ground and could not be used as a defensive shield.
The space where the three of them are located is a deserted place, the only place that looks intact.
Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked several times before finally getting used to the excess light.
"Arjuna?!"
The first thing I saw was a figure with black hair and white clothes, standing quietly in front of the three of them.
At some point, Arjuna, who was supposed to fight Karna to the death, came back.
The battle with Karna...he lost.
If it were a confrontation in the age of mythology, then that would be a different matter. At that time, the two of them would definitely bring out all the treasures they had and have a battle of the highest standard, right?
However, the current Arjuna is an archer. Compared with close combat, his weapons are only bows and arrows, and he is good at long distances. Against Karna, a lancer, he himself suffered a big loss. In addition, Karna, a lancer, has a noble phantom.
It is a [one-hit kill] Noble Phantasm. If the true name is released, Arjuna will be destroyed by the attack. The fact that it can persist for so long is enough to show the strength of Arjuna.
If an ordinary archer faced a spearman of Karna's level, he would probably be killed instantly.
But even so, the balance of victory still tilted towards Karna, and kept tilting until victory was achieved.
At the end of the battle, Arjuna fell to the ground and Karna pointed his spear at him.
This situation is very similar to that of the past, except that it was Arjuna who raised his bow and arrow and aimed at Karna who was unable to move due to the curse.
Karna did not drop his spear.
"Why. Don't you hate me? Don't you want to kill me?"
Arjuna could not understand.
Before their death, both of them wanted to kill each other.
In the end, it was Arjuna who killed Karna in an extremely dishonorable way, causing him to regret it for half his life.
At the same time, Karna must also be very unwilling.
So, now that he lost, why didn't he...
Could it be said that the hero who gives alms does not even hate his opponent enough to want to kill him?!
Arjuna became angry instead.
"...I, until just now, I thought so."
Karna said this in a calm tone.
It's not about letting go, looking away, or anything like that.
Karna also knew that if he fired the shot he just fired and killed Arjuna, both himself and him would be saved.
The unspeakable feelings in his chest should be calmed down. And Arjuna's long-standing regret should disappear because he killed him.
But……
Karna made no move.
It's not sympathy, nor is it lack of desire.
Karna thought for a while and then managed to formulate a sentence.
"You are not the Arjuna I know."
Servants are aspects of heroic spirits. Indeed, they cannot be called "complete". Just like a person's fingers cannot be called "human" by themselves.
But that's not what Karna meant.
"Arjuna is a hero given by heaven. He is a hero who has everything. He is indifferent because of his wealth. You are different."
What made Karna stop his gun was the scene he had just seen not long ago.
"The battle must be won."
After the orange-haired woman said this, she turned and left.
Arjuna bowed deeply to her figure.
When he raised his head, the man had a satisfied and happy smile on his face.
That kind of smile never existed on Arjuna.
A hero who has everything, but because he has everything, he wants nothing. Arjuna is supposed to be a hero without any emotional changes.
The reason why he ignored his honor and killed himself was because at that time, he just obeyed the fate and accepted the "God-given victory".
However, he showed such a satisfied smile.
This man is no longer the Arjuna he knew.
He is the master's servant.
Not the Arjuna who killed him.
"Go find your master. This time, I won."
Karna said that he did not drop the spear that killed him. If he is a hero of giving, then he was the one who gave Arjuna's name to him.
"...Karna, you guy..."
Arjuna originally wanted to quarrel with him, but Karna just said calmly: "You have a very good master. If there is a chance, I would like to chat with her."
"...If you say it, there will definitely be such an opportunity."
Ah Zhou vaguely understood what he meant and put away his hostility.
"This is not forgiveness. It is not escape. Arjuna, one day, I will fight you again."
Karna added deep in his heart: At least, before that day, I want to understand what kind of person makes you show that expression.
Moreover... Karna himself doesn't know whether his feelings for Arjuna are hatred... jealousy... or some other emotion... Karna himself doesn't know. If he had a good talk with that master and told his heart, he would say
Maybe, there will be some progress...
The two people who had decided the winner quickly rushed to the place of decisive battle.
Finally, we arrived just in time for Cu Chulainn to release the Noble Phantasm.
Arjuna couldn't help but stood in front of his master, released his Noble Phantasm, the hand shadow of the God of Destruction, condensed his magic power to block it in front of him, and intercepted Cu Chulainn's exaggerated magic explosion.
(Sure enough, Arjuna is not the Arjuna I know. It is not [Task Priority] or [Victory Priority]. Now he will give priority to protecting that person. He will show a warm expression because of that person.)
Karna is different.
Karna always puts tasks first and will do his best to fulfill the requests of others.
The mission the President King entrusted him with was to obtain the Holy Grail.
Therefore, he put away his god-killing spear, put on his golden armor, flew toward the center of the explosion, toward Cu Chulainn, and snatched away the Holy Grail.
Without the Holy Grail, Cu Chulainn's alter's regeneration speed could not keep up with the destruction, and he disappeared without even a last word.
Karna's golden armor is proof of the Sun God's lineage, and can greatly reduce the damage received. Withstanding the shock wave of Cu Chulainn's alter, he stood in the explosion, watching Arjuna's magic power exhausted.
, the body turns into golden particles.
Just as Karna thought.
Arjuna did not look at himself, but turned around and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. Although he could only see a profile of his face, but... it was a calm and calm expression.
He swept around, and there were only a few survivors on the battlefield. Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Scathach were protected by Arjuna and were still alive. Nero suffered an indiscriminate attack and returned directly to Chaldea.
Hercules' entire chest was burned, revealing dark red flesh and blood. Yagi Yukisai had not yet undressed the red sea beast armor, so he was the least injured among the others.
"I accept the Holy Grail. Savior. Please come to the White House. The President will be happy to meet you again."
After saying this, Karna held the Holy Grail in his hand and flew towards the east without looking back.
