If you want to practice your beliefs, will and strength are indispensable.
A will that lacks strength is just empty talk, a carnival of idealists, and will only end up with a bloody head in the end.
And the power that lacks the guidance of will will one day turn into a weapon in the hands of others and be wantonly abused when it goes against one's own ideals.
As the last master of mankind, Ritsuka Fujimaru is determined, has a correct outlook on life, and possesses the characteristics of Asashi (gentleness) unique to Japanese protagonists.
But his strength is too weak. He only plays the role of a camera and a power bank in the Singularity and Lostbelt. He cannot control the fate he wants to change in his own hands. He can only turn to others for help every time he encounters difficulties.
.
If he hadn't often "coincidentally" encountered powerful partners who could change the situation at singular points and lostbelts, all his efforts would have been in vain.
However, the heroic spirits sent to the singularity and the Lostbelt were designated by Alaya, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who lacked autonomy, was just a puppet in Alaya's hands.
According to the hand cards given by Alaya, Alaya acts specifically according to the script specified by his character.
This is not the belief Lu Xiao pursues.
Assassin's Creed is a spirit, not a profession.
Even though Lu Xiao learned a lot of abilities that were not part of the Assassin's, he never forgot the core spirit of the Assassin - free will.
Alaya must have had a special plan to throw him into this singularity, but Lu Xiao is not a yes-man who only nods and bows. He will not act completely according to Alaya's plan.
…
Under Gawain's example, the archers on the city wall shot arrows mercilessly at the unarmed people below.
The solemn knights who surrounded them from the outside also raised their weapons and charged into the crowd. The red blood scattered all over the ground and the desperate screams painted a hellish scene in this camping area.
Gawain continued to swing the holy sword with a cold face, but at this moment he suddenly felt a chill coming over him, and subconsciously stopped his movements and lowered his head.
"Buzz!"
A sharp and thin long knife grazed the back of his neck and almost cut Gawain's neck.
"Thank you... thank you, benefactor"
The young woman who luckily escaped with her life immediately picked up her child and ran away.
Gawain did not focus on continuing to chase the refugees. He looked solemnly at the hooded man who seemed to appear out of thin air.
"The shameless people who secretly attacked us must report their names!"
"Shameless?"
Lu Xiao let out an obviously sarcastic chuckle: "What position does a knight who massacres civilians have to say that others are shameless?"
"Gawain, you will only obey King Arthur's orders unconditionally."
"No matter how cruel or anti-chivalrous the order is, you will force yourself to be patient and carry it out. What an obedient and loyal dog you are."
"shut up!"
Gawain angrily raised his holy sword and attacked Lu Xiao, but with three times the strength, he only hit an afterimage.
"Qiang!"
The impact coming from behind made Gawain stagger forward a few steps. As soon as he stood firm, he turned around and swung the holy sword, but nothing was hit either.
Gawain with three times the strength sounds very bluffing, but in fact he was unable to defeat Lancelot during the day, and was dragged by the chief of the round table until the sun went down and was easily killed.
Lu Xiao had a back-and-forth fight with Lancelot during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and it was a mad Lancelot with greatly enhanced attributes.
After Scathach's rigorous training, Lu Xiao's martial arts skills have been further improved.
Even if the Immortal Sword in his hand is not as good as the A+ level Sword of Rotating Victory in terms of Noble Phantasm level, Lu Xiao can still avoid direct contact with Gawain's Holy Sword through guerrilla warfare.
After the Fourth Holy Grail War, in addition to the martial arts trained by Scathach, Lu Xiao's four-dimensional attributes have also been further improved. Now, even if he fights the mad Lancelot again, he may not have no chance of winning.
"Bah!"
Gawain's breastplate was once again scarred by the sharp Immortal Slash. Although the B-level Immortal Slash was poor in strength and toughness, its lethality was not much worse than the higher-level A-level Noble Phantasm.
The one-meter-long Odachi was like an extension of his arm in Lu Xiao's hand. His superb martial arts and A-level clairvoyance allowed him to see through Gawain's straight knight swordsmanship in advance, suppressing the Sun Knight at the gate of the city and unable to move.
"hateful!"
Gawain, who had been ridiculed by the opponent's foul mouth before and had always obeyed King Arthur, was hit in a sore spot and was eager to defeat the opponent to save face.
But this despicable attacker whose appearance is unclear possesses amazing martial arts skills. From Gawain's perspective, the opponent's martial arts skills are probably not weaker than those of Lancelot, the chief of the Round Table.
Moreover, Gawain always feels inexplicably frustrated during battles. This hooded man seems to be able to predict his movements in advance and can completely suppress him on both offense and defense.
Although he had three times the strength during the day, Gawain was unable to display all his strength in front of this opponent. This feeling of being constrained made him extremely uncomfortable.
As the battle continued, there were more and more scars on Gawain's armor, and some parts were even cut into the interior of the armor by multiple hits.
Lu Xiao actually did not focus all of his attention on the battle with Gawain. The fully activated eagle vision allowed him to grasp the entire battlefield during the battle.
Lucius was not far away from the battle between him and Gawain. At this time, he was fighting with the solemn knights and leading the refugees to escape from the Holy City.
Mashu was also near the battlefield. From time to time, she would observe the battle between the two with bewildered eyes. At the same time, under the guidance of Da Vinci, she and Fujimaru Ritsuka helped the refugees evacuate.
Gawain, who was furious in his heart, finally decided to release the precious phantom and kill the fleeing refugees. The magic power that suddenly burst out from his body temporarily forced Lu Xiao back.
"My king, please forgive Gawain for his recklessness."
"This sword is a copy of the sun, burning away all the impure purifying sun flames, the sword of victory! (excalibur gatine)"
The Sword of Rotating Victory, which emits dazzling golden light like the sun, is different from the Sword of Contracted Victory, which concentrates on one breakthrough. It releases the power of the sun in the holy sword at once in a sweeping manner, burning the enemies within a certain distance.
"Tsk! He was actually let out."
Lu Xiao, who was distracted by his concerns, failed to investigate for a moment, and was successfully liberated by Gawain.
He himself can use the power of the Time Stone to hide in the cracks of time and space, but other evacuating refugees cannot escape. Gawain's Noble Phantasm's True Name Liberation is more efficient than the Contracted Victory Sword in clearing out miscellaneous soldiers.
At the critical moment, another bright golden light fell from above and collided head-on with Gawain's liberating sun wheel.
"Well!"
The moment the two light waves came into contact, the person who suffered the impact let out a painful groan.
Lucius's hood was blown off by the aftermath of the sword-light collision, and Gawain recognized his identity at a glance.
"You! You are Bedivere?!"
Facing his fellow Knights of the Round Table, Gawain's Noble Phantasm subconsciously withdrew some of its power. Bedivere took the opportunity to use his shining right arm to offset the attack of his Noble Phantasm.
"Ha ha……"
Judging from the bad state of Bedivere half-kneeling on the ground, even if he barely blocked Gawain's water attack, using this metal prosthetic limb that did not suit him also caused a considerable burden on him.
Gawain asked in disbelief: "Bedivere! Why are you here? Why are you, the most loyal to the king, standing against her!"
Bedivere reluctantly stood up with the help of Lu Xiao. Bedivere, who was about to fall into coma, answered with half-open eyes: "Because what the king did is wrong. As a member of the Knights of the Round Table, I have the obligation to correct the king's behavior."
fault……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bedivere immediately fainted as his body and soul suffered a huge burden at the same time.
Carrying the unconscious Bedivere on his back, Lu Xiao took one last look at Gawain, whose expression changed.
"Unfortunately, knight Gawain, it seems that today is not the best time to decide the winner. Let this battle be settled next time."
Protecting Bedivere behind him with one hand, Lu Xiao held the Immortal Sword in his right hand to open the way. The solemn knight in the form of a mixed soldier was completely unable to block his repeated attacks as if he was teleporting.
"Leonardo, take those two stupid young men and retreat quickly!"
Watching the enemy gradually go away, Gawain tightly grasped the hilt of the Sword of Rotating Victory and stood in front of the gate of the Holy City without saying a word for a long time.
'Bedwell, why, why didn't you show up until now?'
A solemn knight came to Gawain and asked: "Gao Wenqing, the refugees have escaped, do they need to be pursued on horseback?"
"No need."
Gawain took a deep breath to calm down the complicated emotions in his heart.
"I will personally explain to the king and plead guilty. The escaped refugees will be dealt with by Sir Lancelot's guerrilla knights."
