Dark Soul Moon

"Obviously...it shouldn't be like this..."

The Queen let out a wail.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

She had clearly made up her mind, but when the result came out, she couldn't bear the sadness in her heart.

Why wasn't she killed by Lion Rider?

Why was the Lion Rider killed by her?

Although her body was pierced by a sword and spear, Artoria did not feel the threat of death.

On the contrary, she noticed that the sword and spear piercing her body had stopped moving forward.

It was as if the owner of the weapon had died.

Stretching out her hand, Arturia wanted to touch the golden lion helmet.

Then, her pupils shrank suddenly.

Gray spots of light slowly emerged, drifting with the wind.

The body of the lion knight pierced by the holy spear began to turn into spots of light and gradually dissipated.

"no, do not want!"

Artoria let go of the holy spear, and she anxiously collected the scattered light spots with both hands, as if this could prevent the Lion Knight from disappearing.

At least……

At least leave something behind!

However, everything Artoria did was in vain.

No matter how much she tried to stop her body from dissipating, the Lion Knight turned into a spot of light in front of her and completely disappeared.

The golden lion knight disappeared without a trace in front of Arturia, as if this person had never existed in the world.

Only the sword and spear that fell powerlessly to the ground seemed to be saying something.

Oh, on the ground, there is a small stone.

It was a stone covered with crimson lines.

Seeing that small stone, Arturia's heart flashed with strong longing.

However, the more intense sadness diluted her desire.

"Arturia, congratulations, you have become the heir."

These are the words left by the Lion Knight at the last moment of his death.

Lion Rider finally confessed to her himself.

But Arturia would rather be the girl knight who always followed behind the lion knight than the current situation.

She covered her face and wept silently.

Tears fell from between the fingers, and fell on the cloud layer that began to gradually collapse.

The queen sat alone on the ground, venting her grief.

From now on, she will go alone.

The person who once walked into her heart, the person she once admired and yearned for, the person she once had special feelings for, has disappeared.

No one would teach her fighting skills, no one would be her solid backing, no one would make her feel at ease just by standing behind her.

This person was killed by her own hands.

"why……"

Lion Rider could have killed her at the end, but stopped.

Avalon whose real name has not been liberated, his independent protection is in fact unable to stop the brilliant blow that was sent out at the cost of his life.

However, she felt that the penetration of the sword and gun stopped when it was about to break through the protection of the scabbard.

Lion Rider gave up on killing her.

Because Artoria's test has already passed.

Ashes noticed it, and she became the last obstacle for Artoria.

With him around, Artoria will always rely on him subconsciously.

However, Ashes cannot stay by Artoria's side forever.

So he decided to let Artoria cut off this dependence by herself.

This is the final test.

The dark clouds over Camelot gradually dissipated.

The warm sun shone on the residents of Camelot.
