Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 503 The Battle of Gilgamesh (3)

Just when Nozomi Arakawa and others were about to arrive at Mount Enzang, the chariot carrying them disappeared.

Jing Mi hugged Nozomi Arakawa, while Saber landed firmly with Irisviel.

"The Conquering King..." Saber gently pressed her chest and paid high respect to that king.

And Arakawa looks like falling into an ice cave.

rider is dead...

Now there are only three followers left.

If any of the servants die, then the Great Holy Grail will be activated!

He shifted his gaze to Irisviel.

Time waits for no one, only seize this opportunity now!
But at this moment, Irisviel collapsed without warning.

"Irisviel!" Saber shouted.

"Stop calling her," Arakawa said. "Let her rest for a while. She's not sick or injured, she's just returning to her original self."

"The original look?" Saber frowned, "What are you talking about?"

The sound of a car engine was heard not far away.

A small black truck was parked on the side of the road.

"Miss Saber, please take your wife to the car."

"Maiya!" Saber was very surprised when she saw her.

Now Maiya's arrival is like sending charcoal in the snow.

"Where are you going now?" she asked.

"Enzang Mountain, Liudong Temple on Enzang Mountain." Arakawa Wang said.

"Very good, we'll be there in 2 minutes."

Everyone came to Liudong Temple, took Irisviel to the deserted temple, and let her lie down.

"Quiet, please alert Gilgamesh, and notify us as soon as he arrives."

"Yes." Quiet disappeared into the room.

At this moment, Irisviel recovered and opened her eyes.

"Irisviel!" Saber held her hand, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Saber." Irisviel said, "It doesn't matter, my magic power is still sufficient, and I can still help you."

"No, don't say these things." Saber felt very regretful in her heart.

Obviously, Irisviel's body has become like this, but he still brought her here... It's really stupid!
At this time, Jing Mi appeared in the room again.

"Master, Archer is coming quickly, and there is still 1 minute left by visual estimation."

"Saber... don't worry about me."

Speaking of which, Irisviel gently pressed her lower abdomen,

There, golden light bloomed, and a magnificent scabbard slowly emerged.

"This is the holy relic that Kiritsugu used when he summoned you. You should be familiar with it, Saber, right?"

"This is my scabbard...Avalon!" Saber's tone was filled with surprise.

——Avalon, the land of eternal spring in King Arthur's legend, crowned with the scabbard of the land of goblins.

Not only can it heal the holder's injuries, but it can also stop aging and keep people youthful.

If it is released under its real name, it will interfere with everything to protect the holder, ignoring all magic and physics, and even the "Absolute Guardian Blade" that can bounce back attacks.

But then King Arthur lost the scabbard, which made his life an unknown shadow, and finally even implicated the collapse of the entire kingdom.

But Saber couldn't understand, since her scabbard could heal Irisviel, why...

"That's because my functions as a human are about to stop." Irisviel's delicate, doll-like face showed a bitter expression, "I am an artificial life form of the Einzbern family. During the design stage The purpose has already been decided, and the body and spirit will be produced in the best condition according to the purpose, so only with more than twice the magic power of an ordinary magician can one resist Lancer's charm ability."

"Artificial... life?" Saber couldn't believe it.The woman who accompanies Emiya Kiritsugu as his wife is actually an artificial life form! ?
"My essence is the Lesser Holy Grail prepared by Einzbern during the Fourth Holy Grail War. I am responsible for recovering and detaining the souls of servants who have been defeated or lost their masters and cannot maintain their existence until the end of the war. time. The souls of the servants collected will complete important tasks in the final stage of the ceremony performed by the Great Holy Grail..."

"Irisviel..."

Saber murmured softly, she never thought that the person she protects is the container of the Holy Grail!

In other words, if he wants to get the Holy Grail, Irisviel will definitely die.

No wonder she became like this, because the more servants died, their souls would enter Irisviel's body.She was returning to her original form, so Avalon couldn't save her.

"Sorry... Saber, I should have told you earlier..."

"No, Irisviel, you don't have to apologize." Saber shook her head.

"Saber, take the scabbard. Once you get the scabbard, you will become a veritable and strongest heroic spirit. Even Gilgamesh can't hurt you."

But Saber made a surprising move at this time.

"No, Irisviel." Saber said, "The scabbard must stay in your body."

"Why..." Irisviel looked at Saber and gently stroked her cheek, "No matter who wins or loses, I can't survive, because I was born for this Holy Grail War."

"But don't you still desire to meet Emiya Kiritsugu?" Saber said, "I will accept my scabbard back, but I must first fulfill your wish... Bet on my honor as the King of Knights!"

Saber stood up, raised her sword again, and said to Maiya who had been silently standing by Irisviel's side, "Please protect Irisviel well."

Maiya didn't speak or nod, she just closed her eyes.

But this action was enough to make Saber feel at ease.

She walked out, ready to meet the legendary King of Heroes.

"Miss Irisviel, right?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"Yes, the master of Assassin."

"I have one thing I want to ask you. If the Holy Grail is polluted, how can I restore it?"

"The Holy Grail...is contaminated?"

"It's just a hypothesis. In fact, my grandparents also participated in the Holy Grail War. Looking at the notes left by him, I found that during the third Holy Grail War, someone illegally summoned the No.8 servant, which caused the war to get out of control. The scourge left over from one time may continue to this time, so... just in case."

"Is that so..." Irisviel closed her eyes as if she was about to fall asleep, "Speaking of which, Maiya, if what the Assassin's Master said is true, then you should remind Kiritsugu too. "

"Okay, ma'am."

Maiya lowered her head, the peripheral vision from the corner of her eyes was always locked on Nozomi Arakawa.

"Then, let me tell you, if the Holy Grail is polluted, the solution is very simple, that is, to remove the source of pollution, or completely isolate it from the Holy Grail...Although it sounds simple, the premise is—— Obtaining the Holy Grail is what happens after the Holy Grail comes."

"Really, if you want to decontaminate the Holy Grail, you must first obtain the Holy Grail... I understand, ma'am." Nozomi Arakawa stood up.

"Where are you going?" Irisviel asked.

"Go to the battlefield and fight with my servants." Arakawa Wang said, "Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually pretty good at it."
