Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

The knight holding the magic sword stood safely in the barrier.

Without the barrier, a strong man like Karna could still easily discover her traces.

This is not because Arturia cannot conceal her fighting spirit. For an excellent warrior, this skill is already considered instinctive.

What will cause her traces to be exposed is the heavy and dark magic around her, which is as oppressive as a wraith.

She is the king with a dragon heart, and this excellent magical heart is also a necessary condition for her to surpass many heroes as a woman, but this characteristic has never appeared so clearly in her body.

The dark and huge magic power was quietly lingering around Saber's body as she breathed. At this moment, Saber felt more like a sleeping dragon than a human being.

When she felt the radiant magic aura flying over from afar, Arturia also opened her cold pupils, and an indescribable color flashed in her eyes.

Although the curse of black mud often causes the infected person's personality to change drastically, and in extreme cases, they may even lose their mind like a berserker and become a puppet to be used, this is actually a misunderstanding.

The essence of black mud is just to reverse the personality and reveal the self that the host does not want to face.

If the infected servant is too holy, such as Joan of Arc, who does not have a dark side in his heart, it cannot be reversed at all. A strong-willed servant like Gilgamesh will only channel his most arrogant character, and he will not be able to reverse it. Not contaminated either.

The same is true for Saber. She has been on the road to becoming the perfect king all her life. She has never fallen into evil ways even once, and she can still maintain her sanity even if she turns dark.

As long as you win in the end, it doesn't matter what means you use. For the sake of saving the motherland, no matter what kind of sacrifice you make, you are allowed.

Different from the naive self before, the current self will truly lead Britain to continue.

She is no longer the pedantic knight, but the absolute king.

For this reason, she could accept even cooperating with Karma. Although she did not like the evil goddess, from a realistic point of view, this was the wisest choice, otherwise she would not be able to defeat Karna. Even competing with that mysterious Roland.

Now that Archer has fallen into the trap, he only needs to wait for Kama's order to join forces with her to defeat him. According to the goddess, even if he fails to succeed, as long as he forces out the opponent's sure-kill weapon, after that In the battle, it is difficult for the opponent to regain his strength.

The black knight king closed his eyes and concentrated, holding his hands on the hilt of the sword. Just waiting for the space above to begin to twist, he immediately used his magic power to release a black storm, washing away the last shame in the hands of the son of the sun god.

--coming!

Sensing the promised signal, Artoria directly broke through the surrounding barriers. Although her level of agility related to mobility has been reduced after becoming black, because the violent magic power will destroy all obstacles, Being indoors with many buildings did not affect her speed.

But Saber suddenly stopped.

She stepped on the wall that had been smashed, large pieces of concrete were peeled off, leaving only a few twisted steel bars standing alone above, and she stopped her momentum abruptly.

Although her perception of the surrounding environment was somewhat blunted, she felt no wind or even vibration after breaking out of the barrier. There was only a strange silence. It was difficult for her not to notice that something was wrong.

Arturia raised the ominous magic sword with a red halo and watched vigilantly as the surrounding environment was eroded by darkness.

Be it the walls or the ceiling, everything in the environment has not changed, but what is incredible is that their colors have been stripped away, leaving only pure darkness, as if they were born this color.

It spread so fast that Saber was surrounded by a dark world before she could even make a move to retreat.

The sky and the earth seemed to be connected, becoming part of the darkness together. Even though there was no change in her vision, the girl had already realized that she was trapped.

When she and Kama plotted against Karna, they were also regarded as prey.

Now I can only hope that Kama can hold on longer, because the change of master and the change of personality, Artoria did not let the worries in her heart affect her movements, and there was not even much fluctuation, she just observed coldly. Watching everything around.

Although that goddess is very evil, she still has some abilities. She can hide her and trap her current self. This kind of otherworldly transformation cannot be the work of a modern magician.

So, it can only be that person.

"Whether you are Roland or Caster, come out and face me!"

Saber's dark golden pupils flashed with cruel brilliance, and the pitch-black hurricane roared like a beast-like thunderous roar, bursting out, adding a sense of incongruity to the surrounding light darkness.

"Has your tone become louder? It seems that the fact that you are three times stronger in black color has given you a lot of confidence, King of Knights."

Suddenly, a teasing voice came out of the shadow.

Roland floated calmly in the air and stared at the current Saber with interest.

"Do you want to be Archer's ally? Or are you trying to balance the situation, so you deliberately trapped me?"

Although she had already grasped the magic sword with both hands, Saber did not attack impatiently, but asked calmly.

"Does this matter make sense? No matter what answer I give you, it can't change your current state."

Roland said lightly, staring at the black and red inscriptions on the magic sword, and touching the back of his hand thoughtfully.

But to his surprise, after hearing this provocation, Saber could no longer hold himself back and drew his sword to strike, but now the opponent's face only changed slightly and did not follow the rhythm he expected.

"Of course. If you want to conquer me as a power, as long as you can promise to share the Holy Grail with me, I will be willing to break the contract and let you control me."

"It seems that after turning black, you not only abandoned your morality, but also regained your brain?... But forgive me for refusing."

Roland was also slightly surprised by Saber's changes without letting any unnecessary emotional factors affect his judgment. He firmly grasped his own advantages and put interests first in everything.

However, although Roland had the habit of robbing other people's heroic souls in the last Holy Grail War, this time he made a special trip to block Saber, not for the development of the Holy Grail War, but simply to verify the feeling he just felt. , just a whim.

"I don't care about the Holy Grail, but even if I give it to you, your wish will not be fulfilled."

"Won't be satisfied...what does that mean?"

Roland looked at Saber's frowning expression of confusion with a smile, and wagged his fingers happily.

"But because you made me discover something interesting, I'll give you a special option."

"——Show me your power. If it satisfies me, I will tell you the truth."

The subtle word "truth" makes Saber's gaze become even more dangerous. Although the detailed information is not known yet, it is certain that there must be some kind of change in this Fifth Holy Grail War.

Could it be that……

Seemingly sensing Artoria's wavering, Roland smiled and said, "Then, let's do..."

Before he could finish his words, the next moment, the dark red magic sword turned into a dark wind wheel and attacked him!

Following closely behind him was the black knight who was fully armed and as fast as a poisonous snake emerging from its hole.

The sudden acceleration in conjunction with the release of magic power in a short distance, even the air had no time to escape, and was squeezed into a translucent film amidst the dull impact, allowing Saber to run at a speed beyond human eyesight.

Although he was wearing armor with scarlet magic patterns that was far heavier than before, in front of the figure that shot out like a cannonball, like an indestructible hammer, the ear-piercing screams and the impact with extremely wide coverage were enough to make up for the speed. disadvantages.

Either run with all your strength to avoid the interference of the aftermath, or take a blow that may cause ordinary servants to be directly beaten into pieces.

However, Saber's tactics did not work because she chose the wrong target.

For Roland, this kind of whistling was not as good as a breeze. He waved his hand casually and caught the incoming magic sword with his bare hands. He pressed it slightly, and Saber's forward figure suddenly stopped its momentum, as if it had lost its momentum. Like all the power, it fell down languidly.

Amidst the sharp screams caused by the shaking atmosphere, Saber was smashed into the earth covered with rubble and dust, and continued to sink.

But this kind of injury is not enough to shake her. In the face of the fully activated dragon factor, this can only be regarded as a skin injury at best.

Such a defeat would only arouse her anger even more.

A trace of blood flashed across Saber's dark golden pupils, and she stamped her feet heavily on the ground. With the help of the reaction force of the cracking of the earth, she launched a second charge amidst the roar of the broken road.

Without any hesitation, Saber tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in her hand, twisted her waist and tightened her arms. The magic sword in her hand drew a half-moon-shaped dark red light mark in the air, and slashed in the direction of Roland. Come!

"boom--!"

Suddenly, the air roared as if it was boiling.

The overwhelming red magic light rushed out like a flood, becoming more fierce and powerful driven by the extremely fast screaming black hurricane.

Facing this menacing attack, Roland's expression did not change at all. He just calmly raised his hand and waved it down again. In the blink of an eye, the crimson and ferocious magic light that no one could ignore hit hard. together.

The interlaced sparks and the extreme darkness complement each other, causing ripples in the atmosphere, splashing around like waves.

This collision still could not stop Saber's offensive. She leaned forward slightly, brandished the magic sword in her hand, and rushed into the bursting tide of destruction with firm and powerful steps, her body as strong as a rock.

"Hey, you are obviously not as sharp as before. It seems that this beast-like posture is more suitable for fighting than before."

Saber's performance far surpassed that before, which made Roland also admire. If Saber before could only be said to be a top-notch heroic spirit, now that she has both a sword and scabbard, she can be compared with Karna.

Although the upper limit of her inverted posture has been reduced a lot, this is not only because she can completely reverse the situation of the battle and direct the path to glory, but also because she cannot use the Holy Sword of the Star that summons miracles, but to be honest , in a normal battle situation, Saber did not activate these at all, which only existed at the upper limit of possibility.

This posture after the fall has brought her nature as a dragon to the extreme. The output intensity of the magic hearth, self-healing and physical abilities have been improved. After changing the master, the nearly unlimited supply of magic power has been improved. It is the greatest meritorious service.

As a weapon at the top of many holy swords, the essence of the Holy Sword of the Star is to convert the holder's magic power into light before striking it out. This performance does not change even after it is reversed. On the contrary, because there is no need to suppress its own magic power, it becomes More destructive.

Even without liberating her true name, Saber can now turn every attack she makes into a slash of magic light. This level of transformation can directly turn into a big move. Only this holy sword forged in the Inner Sea of ​​Stars is the most powerful. Adapt, because that's how it was created.

To put it bluntly, Saber's fighting ability now far exceeds that of herself in life.

"Drink——!"

With the roar of flames filling her ears, Saber seemed to be bored. The speed of swinging her sword suddenly accelerated. Dark red arcs of light methodically outlined strange trajectories in the air. The sharp blade struck with turbulent airflow. On the oncoming flames, it roared out like a fierce and surging wave.

When the flames that obscured her vision were dissipated, Saber easily captured Roland's figure that didn't move at all.

The distance is enough!

In this situation, although her heart was turbulent, dark determination still flowed in Saber's eyes.

The heart-stopping black sword in her hand turned into burning flames.

This is the purest light of faith forged by human prayers. But at this moment, as disaster-like magic continues to pour into it, what overflows from the sword is not the sacred light particles, but the A torrent of darkness.

Unable to dodge, unable to resist, in front of the super-standard liberating holy sword, there are few forces that can resist it.

Then--

Saber slashed the holy sword raised high into the sky, causing a black aurora to rise into the sky.

"EX—calibur Morgan!"

At the same time that the reversed true name was shouted out, the black flash of destruction let out a shrill scream.

It moved straight forward, penetrating the space together. The boundless heat caused the atmosphere to surge and shrink, turning into broken air waves. It screamed like thunder and a tsunami, tearing apart the empty atmosphere, leaving behind bright lines. remnants of.

The fierce wind carried by the remaining flames was nothing compared to the darkness that could swallow up even light. When Saber outputted all her magic power, it was simply like the breath of the demon dragon Vortigern that appeared to protect Britain.

That symbolizes the final counterattack of an era in order to fight against the torrent of fate and change the end.

Even Karna, who had that golden armor that looked like cheating, couldn't ignore this attack.

But even in the face of such a fierce attack, Roland still had no intention of evading.

On the contrary, he showed a satisfied smile, as if he had been expecting this result for a long time.

"Then, let's start the experiment, Holy Sword User."

But this seemingly suicidal approach made Saber frown quietly.

Will the other party use that terrifying red barrier again?

If you were alone, it would be impossible to break through that absolute defense.

Moreover, Roland had said that he wanted to show off his power, and what about experiments? What was his intention?

Saber's thoughts were like lightning, but there was no change in the movements of her hands.

No matter what Roland wants to do, she just needs to be herself. She doesn't need to skimp on magic power. She uses the strongest sword to attack and the strongest shield to defend against everything. She only needs to maintain these two treasures. Sufficient to cope with all changes.

But before she could figure it out, Roland's actions shocked Saber beyond measure.

Roland stretched out his right hand and moved his wrist slightly. The next moment, silver-white light particles appeared in his hand, converging into a sacred steel sword.

That is the Holy Sword of the Stars.

There is no mistake, it is a weapon that only the planet can breed.

As the destined master of the Sword of Victory, Saber has absolute confidence in her vision in this regard.

——So what's going on? Who is the other party? God or singularity? Or... is he really a Holy Sword user like her?

But the doubts in Saber's heart had not yet been answered. Next, a horrifying scene broke into her field of vision.

As Roland's majestic true ether continued to pour in, with a slight wave of his hand, a stream of light like a comet suddenly appeared and pierced the sky, filling the space between the sky and the earth, directing the shattered darkness directly. Cut off!
