Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 119 Finally Don't Need the Broken Yellow Rose

The sense of futility and powerlessness eroded Saber's heart, but she was still unyielding and continued to swing the long sword in her hand.

Lancer and Saber are like horns. Whenever Saber cuts a sword, he will make up a shot. If he doesn't do this, the exaggerated self-healing ability of the sea monster will return to its original state in a second.

However, Huang Qiangwei could suppress the self-healing of the wound, but could not suppress the proliferation of the sea monster itself.Similar to protozoan characteristics, sea monsters can self-proliferate from any part of the body.One of the tentacles was severed, and the sea monster directly absorbed the severed part, and then grew a new body.

Everything is in vain—no, even if it is only a little bit, it is meaningful to slow down the sea monster's pace.But as long as one thinks about the ending in the near future, what he is doing now is nothing more than a meaningless struggle.

It would be great if Mor·alltach (Fury Fury) was here, such a piece of meat would be two swords at most——

No, there's no point bemoaning the impossibility.

Lancer gritted his teeth and tried to get rid of distracting thoughts. He swung his guns faster and faster, but judging from the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, it could be seen that this kind of offensive could not last long, but the virtuous spear knight would not give up.

"Hey, Saber, Lancer! If this goes on like this, there will be no end, so retreat for now!"

Hearing Rider's shout from the tank overhead, Saber rebuked loudly.

"What nonsense! If it's not here to block it—"

Tentacle pieces that were broken into several pieces fell from above, splashing large pieces of water, and on the largest piece stood Scathach holding a dagger.

"Temporary retreat is for a better attack, I agree with Rider's opinion."

"Do you have any good ideas? Assassin." Lancer asked as he stabbed the flesh at Scathach's feet with a yellow rose - it was trying to split and regenerate.

"A thought indeed—."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Before Scathach could finish speaking, Rider swung the reins vigorously, and steered the two divine bulls galloping towards the shore. Before leaving, he did not forget to leave two divine thunders on the top of the sea demon.

Scathach raised his left hand, a soft whip pierced the air, tied the handrail of the Rider chariot, and slid all the way with the Shenwei wheel.

Saber and Lancer looked at each other, and each swung the last sword and two spears with all their strength, then ran across the water after Rider, and retreated to the river bank where Irisviel was waiting.

Scathach, who landed with the Kamui wheel, went straight to Irisviel, stared at the artificial human without blinking, and said, "Master of Saber, we need your help."

"Me, me?" Irisviel took a step back subconsciously, her beautiful red eyes were full of doubts, "Well, what do I need to do—"

"It's very simple, I hope you return to Saber what originally belonged to Saber."

"!!!"

Hearing Scathach's words, Irisviel's body trembled violently, with an unbelievable expression on her face. .

Different from Irisviel's shock and panic, others couldn't understand at all, Saber asked: "What do you mean, Assassin, is there anything Irisviel wants to return to me?"

"Yes, that is your holy relic, the 'fate' between you—" Scathach stretched out two fingers and pointed at Irisviel's chest, "—your scabbard."

"!!!" This time it was Saber's turn to be shocked, she looked at Scathach, then turned to Irisviel, and murmured, "My scabbard?"

Scathach sighed softly.If possible, she didn't want to reveal this matter here, but to solve the current situation, letting Saber get back the scabbard is the best solution, at least better than the remaining two solutions she can think of.

"Iris Fell"

Perhaps unable to bear Saber's expectant gaze, Irisviel gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Your scabbard is here with me. It is sealed in my body in the form of conceptual weapons. No, it's nothing. I want to ask why Assassin knows?"

It was her husband Emiya Kiritsugu who handed over the scabbard to Irisviel. In order to ensure the safety of his wife who appeared as acting master, Kiritsugu also specifically told Irisviel not to let Saber know.Irisviel complied with her husband's request, but she always felt guilty about it in her heart. The scabbard was originally the property of the King of Knights, and what she and her husband did was to borrow it without warning.

However, only Irisviel and Kiritsugu knew about this matter, how did the others know about it?
"I told her. Although the news that the scabbard was unearthed in Cornwall was deliberately concealed by the Einzbern family, it's a pity that those who participated in the excavation were not strict about their mouths."

Shinji, who didn't know when to return, answered instead of Scathach, using the excuse he had prepared in advance.

"The King of Knights appeared in the world with the job of Saber to prove the authenticity of the news, but the fact that Saber's left hand was sealed by Lancer's yellow rose showed that the scabbard did not return to Saber's hands. Anyone who has read the legend of King Arthur knows the truth of the scabbard." Magical properties - the person who holds the scabbard cannot be hurt."

The reason for doing this is simple, I don't want Lancer to destroy his treasure by himself as described in "Fate Zero".

Saber's trump card is the Anti-City Noble Phantasm, which has the terrifying power to completely destroy the sea monster with one blow, but to release the true name of the Noble Phantasm, Saber must use both hands.Now Saber's left hand is sealed by a curse, and the treasure's real name cannot be released. To remove the curse, there are only two ways to kill Lancer, or destroy the source of the curse.

Under Emiya Kiritsugu's intentional disclosure, Lancer knew about this matter. For his own chivalry and to prevent the Great Sea Demon from destroying Fuyuki City, Lancer personally broke the destructive yellow rose and liberated Saber's left hand.And doing so also meant that Lancer lost the possibility of winning the Holy Grail War, which indirectly led to his later tragic ending.

Scatha didn't want to see the fighter she admired end in this way, so Shen Er designed a new script for her. As a price, Scatha needed to give Shen Er a promise.

The script started at this moment, the male protagonist didn't know it, he was still looking at the King of Knights with surprised eyes, watching the King of Knights walking in front of Irisviel, holding the latter's hand, speaking with a voice that seemed to permeate the whole body.

"So, Irisviel is my sheath."

Irisviel's heart was infiltrated by the comfortable touch from her hands. At this moment, she forgot her husband's entrustment and all distracting thoughts.

There was an inexplicable throbbing in her chest, it was the heartbeat, and it was the desire to return the old things to the old owners.

In the similar but different brilliance of King Arthur's golden holy sword, the scabbard slowly left her body.

The scabbard of the same color as the holy sword is inlaid with royal blue enamel decorations, and the long-lost fairy characters are engraved in the middle. It is the lost scabbard of King Arthur.

The radiance representing protection shines on the faces of Saber and Irisviel.

Irisviel picked up the scabbard with both hands, and handed it to Saber.

"Saber, bring me victory."

"Yes, I must!"

Saber pressed the scabbard with her weak left hand, and solemnly announced.
