A certain salary's infinite journey

With the invincible King Xuan sword piercing into the monster's body.

This Ruler is so fair! (F/Z): The only three remaining pairs in Chapter 20

'Pfft! '

Accompanied by the piercing of the King Xuan Sword, a hole was cut in the head of the huge octopus-like monster.

However, it is a pity that compared to the huge body of the monster, the size of the king selection sword is not enough.

Just a hole as big as a person is not enough for Artoria to dig out Jill who is controlling the monster in it.

And if the control is not eliminated, even if this monster is weak, it can survive until it causes unimaginable destruction in Fuyuki City before being killed.

"hateful!"

After realizing this, Arturia decisively drew her sword again.

She believed that as long as the wound continued to expand, there would be a chance to attack Jill who was wrapped in it.

However, it's a pity...

Just when Arturia was about to swing her sword again, the huge octopus monster suddenly raised its hand and hit it with a tentacle swing.

"Oops!"

Caught off guard, she hastily swung her sword to block.

It's a pity that even though the monster's size is much smaller than before, it is still too much for her.

'bump! '

With a loud noise, Artoria flew a long way like a bug being shot, and fell heavily into the panting river.

This situation made Qiyana, who was watching from the bridge in the distance, feel extremely nervous.

"King Arthur!"

But then, a miraculous scene happened.

I saw Artoria stepping on the water as if she was on the ground.

No matter how fast the river was, there was no sign of her being washed away.

Obviously, at this moment, the King of Knights is complete.

And the reason for all this is actually very simple.

"Thanks to the goblin's blessing."

Arturia, who was standing above the river, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then raised her sword and pointed it at the roaring monster.

The next moment, the blade followed, and the fierce battle continued.

It's hard to imagine that even in the face of monsters several times her size, she is still not afraid.

Not only that, with her much smaller body size, she was able to chop off a few tentacles of this monster from time to time.

Although it has little effect compared to its huge size, it is also an unimaginable result for ordinary people.

But even so, it is by no means a long-term occasion.

In the distance, Kiritsugu, who was watching the battle from the commanding heights of the building, held up a sniper rifle and watched everything quietly.

But don't get me wrong, his sniper rifle is not aimed at the octopus monster, but Kiana.

"If you get rid of her here."

Kiritsugu spoke plausibly, fully expressing his desire to pull the trigger.

The reason why he treated Qiyana like this was mainly because in his heart, Qiyana's danger factor was far greater than that of the octopus monster.

Because judging from the explosion in the back mountain of Fuyuki City a few days ago, this referee has the power to change the rules of the game.

Based on such conditions alone, it is enough to sentence her to death.

However, Kiritsugu did not pull the trigger for a long time.

He knew very well that once he showed the desire to attack again, it would be equivalent to a complete war against Qiyana.

At that time, the Holy Grail War, which has only a few contestants left, will be overwhelming.

In the face of huge unknown variables, Kiritsugu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and chose to withdraw the Caster combination first.

"If the Noble Phantasm is released..."

Kiritsugu thought for a moment, and then sent a message to Arturia who was fighting.

"Saber! Release the Noble Phantasm!"

"Ah? Kiritsugu, you..."

Hearing that Kiritsugu let him release the Noble Phantasm, Arturia was very happy.

After all, from the first meeting to the present, her favorability for this man can be said to have plummeted all the way from top to bottom.

But looking at it now, it's not that he has no good points at all?

Just as Arturia was stunned, Kiritsugu had slowly raised his hand.

He knew very well that simply relying on the power of releasing the Noble Phantasm, it was still too reluctant to capture Caster's head.

A stronger force must be bet!

And the command spell is just the most convenient.

"I still have three rounds now, if I use up one round...it should be no problem to deal with the last Rider."

Kiritsugu thought so.

Afterwards, he took a long breath, raised his hand firmly and looked at Artoria who was still fighting the octopus monster.

"Name it with the Command Spell, use the Noble Phantasm to destroy Caster and its summons! Saber!"

Along with the use of the Command Seal, an incomparably powerful force was injected into Saber's body.

With the arrival of this power, the enchantment of the King of Wind on the Sword of Oath and Victory is released.

The light, at this moment, almost dispelled the darkness.

At first, it was just a little bit of light flickering on the edge of the sword.

After that, there was enough light to light up the night.

Under the light of the oath and the sword of victory, many firefly-like balls of light appeared around Artoria.

These are the sustenance of the souls of the knights who died in battle, and they are also the power condensed from the life experience of the knight king.

At this moment, when the King of Knights is ready to face the enemy, they will also turn into blades that cut through the enemy and wipe out all the enemies that stand in their way!

"Excalibur Morgan!"

With the liberation of the sword's real name, the countless power finally turned into a beam of light that soared to the sky and galloped away.

The extremely powerful force drained the river in an instant, causing waves of waves.

'boom! '

The beam of light moved forward indomitably, and finally hit the octopus monster violently.

"Hiss - roar!!!"

In front of the sword of the king who had liberated its real name, its size became a burden at this moment.

The heavy and terrifying force tore at the giant monster's body, causing him to struggle in agony.

Among the monsters, Jill slowly opened her eyes.

"This is..."

In front of him, the twisted and wrinkled flesh was suddenly torn open with a small opening.

Although only a small ray of light shone into it.

But he could still feel a familiar feeling.

The longing for this feeling prompted him to slowly reach out and open the small crack.

As the light got bigger and bigger, Jill was gradually covered by the light.

And he could also feel that his body was disintegrating little by little, like an insidious and dirty dark creature exposed to light.

"Ah... so I'm going to die."

Jill froze.

Since when did you become what you are now?

Is it from the end of the war?Or did it start with Joan's death?

What kind of person was he before he became like this?

"Great job, Jill! We won! It's an honor that we protected these people, isn't it?"

At this moment, Joan of Arc's voice sounded in Marshal Gil's ear.

It was also this auditory hallucination that made him recall that before he became a demon, he was also a noble knight following Joan of Arc.

It's a pity that these are always in the past...

"Jeanne!!!"

The demon named 'Bluebeard' was exposed to the light, and finally completely reduced to ashes...

With the death of the controller, the monster also fell apart, and finally turned into piles of meat and fell.

And Artoria, who had done such a feat, slowly swung her sword and turned around gracefully.

Everything has calmed down, and the next thing is to defeat Rider and Assassin...

Then victory is yours!

"Lancelot, everyone...wait for me."

Artoria cheered secretly in her heart.

She firmly believes that the victory will belong to her, and she must win this victory!

A few days after the riots in the big river in Fuyuki City.

The Chinese restaurant Kotomine Kirei frequents.

A handsome young man opened the door and entered.

Following the guidance on the note, he began to look for his target, and finally fixed his gaze on the table near the window.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was eating mapo tofu, it seemed that the tofu was too hot.

He was sweating profusely from eating, but he didn't show any pain.

Of course, he didn't show any excited expression, he just kept his calm face and ate the food.

Because the way he eats is too weird, the diners present all avoid him when they see him like this.

At first, when the handsome young man saw this scene, he also showed a look of fear.

"Hey! Is this the Master of Assassin? Something is wrong..."

"Huh? What? Let me go? Hey, Rider!"

"There's no other way...it's, well."

After communicating with his servants, Weber finally stepped forward helplessly.

"According to the request on the note, I'm here."

He put down the travel bag on his shoulder, and looked helplessly at the man in front of him who ate mapo tofu.

However, to his surprise, after learning of his arrival, instead of stopping his mouth, the other party ate mapo tofu more violently.

After he finished eating a large plate of fiery mapo tofu like this.

The man with the cross hanging around his neck wiped his mouth and replied calmly:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."
