Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Even hundreds of thousands of troops will be swallowed up in the face of the darkness he releases, and even the flames of the Son of the Sun God will only be exploded. Saber has such confidence in his holy sword.

But when faced with another weapon of the same specification that should not exist, Saber's cold face still showed an expression of disbelief.

At this point, there was no need to assert the truth or falsehood. In order not to be directly cut in half by the swift silver light, Saber had to interrupt the liberation of the Noble Phantasm in advance and continued to fall with the recoil.

But even so, the silver stream of light directly tore through the darkness, dragging a long tail like a meteor and falling from the sky. In an instant, it crossed the empty void. The sharp edge that scorned everything caught up first and had already begun. Saber dodged and was ready to hit her in the chest!

--What!

The terrifying power and rapid speed gave her no time to react. The mighty scarlet armor was chopped into pieces in an instant, leaving the dark dress inside stained with traces of blood.

Even if her internal organs were cut open, when Avalon was still in her body, the strong dragon blood could support her body to continue fighting.

Biting her lower lip in extreme displeasure, Artoria also had a cold and cruel smile on her face, and cruel messages mixed with it kept rolling in her eyes.

"What's the name of that sword?"

What caught Saber's eyes was a gorgeous holy sword. Just like the demon sword in her hand before it was reversed, it was a weapon that could only be forged from the planet and used to fight against enemies of the same level.

"Aster...the Holy Sword of Demon Destroyer, Esther."

Roland caressed the blade of the sword, which was so brilliant that even the surrounding darkness could not hide it, and felt the trembling sound on it, which was unknown whether it was the joy of a successful strike or the dissatisfaction of being left out.

It seemed like it had been a long time ago when Esther was used like this last time, and it seemed that it was time to teach Beo a lesson.

Only the kind of battle that is mixed with playfulness and catharsis can Esther shine again in Roland's hands.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After reaching the ultimate individual level, even Esther, who was not good at words, felt the powerlessness brought about by the power gap.

As a contract spirit, she is not the simple clone in the original work, but a different existence derived from the original body after encountering a miracle such as the Key of All Spirits. Although the power has not been completely unlocked, as long as the user can bear it, it is enough. Cleaned the surface.

The upper limit of her power is even feared by the elf kings who are equal to the planet. She can break all spells, swallow all curses, and can even analyze the rules, focusing on real damage.

But for the current Roland, although Esther has not withdrawn from the version, in many cases, it is much more convenient to use her own power to solve the problem. The girl herself seems to know this, and her desire to fight has also been reduced a lot. , except that he still had to stay in Roland's hands, if he didn't take the initiative to give orders, Aster would not ask for the battle himself.

Although Esther, who is just a holy sword, has far more potential than that, Roland, who has never transcended himself, originally planned to find ways to help Esther in other worlds.

However, after officially integrating the Shadow Kingdom into Xingyue, he had a bolder idea.

"Esther... sounds like the name of a fairy. As the Holy Sword of the Stars, it's quite unique."

"Holy Sword of the Stars?"

Roland was slightly taken aback by Saber's statement, but he quickly understood the meaning.

This is not a misunderstanding by chance. Esther is the genuine Holy Sword of the Stars. Its essence is the same as the Elf King, created by the will of the chaotic world, and it is different from the Elf Kings who control the rules of the world. , her nature was born as an elf weapon.

Even its own function is very similar to Saber's Sword of Victory. As long as the magic power output is enough, it can cut anything.

Therefore, such a title cannot be miscalculated, but it still needs to be verified. If it is really worthy of this title, then the future that Esther possesses may be a surprise for herself...

--More experiments are needed.

A strange color appeared in Roland's eyes. He pointed the tip of his sword diagonally at Saber, raised it slightly, and slightly cracked the corner of his mouth in a provocative arc.

Such an action made Saber's face suddenly turn cold, and huge magic power surged in her body, like a dam bursting over her limbs and bones, raising all of her attributes to an exaggerated level.

No longer worrying about the origin of the holy sword in Roland's hand, Saber's body turned into a scarlet lightning and charged straight towards the figure in the sky.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the earth suddenly cracked and dust filled the air. With Saber's trampling, shock waves visible to the naked eye radiated around, arrogantly dispersing the atmosphere, and the overwhelming dust turned into a gray wave following behind. Like thousands of troops following the king, they surrounded the blurry dark red figure and shot towards Roland!

In an instant, Saber's figure came to Roland, raised the magic sword in her hand high, and slashed it down with overwhelming force!

However, although her explosive speed has exceeded the vision of ordinary servants, Roland can clearly capture her every move.

Even before Saber cut down the magic sword, he had already positioned the holy sword in his hand, just waiting for Saber to bump into him stupidly.

As a result, the crisp sound of metal chiming suddenly erupted, and the sharp sound waves were like real sharp blades, piercing straight into the surroundings. The solid wall seemed to have been bombed, and fine cracks rippled rapidly.

"boom--!"

She was obviously the one standing above to exert pressure, but when Roland's majestic power gradually increased, and a loud sound like a bell that could make people deafened burst out, the magic sword she slashed downwards, It was slashing at her body from bottom to top at a determined speed!

Faced with such a scene, even Saber, who had abandoned those unnecessary emotions, could no longer remain calm. She suddenly discovered that even though she had tried her best with both hands, she was still unable to resist this unreasonable force.

She had also seen someone as blessed as her sister, but she still had shortcomings, but the man in front of her was almost perfect.

Why does he want to participate in this Holy Grail War? What is the so-called truth?

What does the other person want from you?

All kinds of questions lingered in the heart of the Dark Knight King, but no matter how extreme her thinking became, at this moment, instinct was always better than reason.

Saber's complicated thoughts did not affect her next action.

"Excalibur Morgan!"

She once again unleashed the Demon Sword's true name with all her strength, without any concern that at this distance, the release of the Demon Sword would cause damage to her.

As long as she doesn't die, can still move, and shows her strength to the maximum, this result is enough for her!

The deafening roar created turbulent waves in the void, and the dark aurora blended with the silver-white holy sword at zero distance like iron blocks melted together in a forge.

In this close situation, Saber could clearly feel the aggression exuded by Esther.

Miscalculation!

In her consideration, even if the other person is not born to protect the Holy Sword of the Star, since it is based on the planet, it should have the same seal as her Holy Sword to prevent abuse.

That's why she chose this dangerous self-sacrifice technique without hesitation.

But now, she can only continue to trust that with the nearly unlimited supply of magic power, the power released by this magic sword can become the basis for her survival.

The darkness erupting from the blade of the demon sword was directly cut off by the powerful silver light, causing the overflowing darkness to slap on Saber's armor like a river. This breath similar to that of the demon dragon made Saber seem to have returned to her original state. The battlefield that determines the fate of the archipelago.

But this time she faced an enemy far more powerful than the dragon Vortigern.

The level of the inverted magic sword even surpassed that of Karna after being fully liberated. The strong armor that Saber had re-condensed was ignored by the torrent of darkness, and erupted like explosives with terrifying waves, piercing directly into her heart. , burn it.

The air was also poured into her lungs, and combined with the heat that pierced the bone marrow, she had to endure heart-wrenching pain every time she breathed. The only thing to be thankful for was that it seemed that the connection was directly cut off by Roland's holy sword. , the power of the escaped magic light was not as terrifying as the one released directly from the tip of the sword in her hand.

Although each impact inflicts heavy damage, the legend of Avalon is perfectly embodied in this moment, and as long as there is magic, it can bring her back from the edge of death.

Although rationally speaking, liberating Avalon and avoiding this blow is the best thing to do, but it also means that she has completely given up on exploring the possibility of victory. If her strongest blow can cause damage to Roland, She has no energy at all, and she is no longer a warrior.

Using the strong taste of blood in her mouth as a source of entertainment, Artoria's desire to fight intensified.

Finally, flying under the dark night sky, Saber once again rubbed against it amidst the roar of the atmosphere. Finally, wrapped in a fire-colored coat, it turned into a ball of scorching meteors and slammed into the tall building next to it.

The raging atmosphere destroyed all the glass in the nearby buildings, and the billowing heat wave swept through the steel jungle, as if it was tearing the night apart.

"Aha……"

In Roland's calm gaze, amidst the wild flames and airflow, Saber stained with eye-catching bright red also reappeared.

She clutched her abdomen and gasped, but bright red still continued to leak out from the gaps between her fingers, leaving dazzling blood stains on the dark dress.

Arturia raised her head, held on to the blood-stained magic sword, and climbed up from the pit.

Her dark golden eyes had already lit up with real light flowers, which was a sign that the dragon factor in her body had overflowed from her body after being squeezed to the extreme.

But even with such a tough body and the blessing of Avalon, her wounds still failed to heal. You can imagine how bad the injuries in Saber's body were.

If at the last moment, her intuition hadn't come into play again in such a life-and-death crisis, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have had the chance to breathe in pain.

After escaping this fatal attack, Saber's heart was not relaxed at all, but became even heavier.

This blow just now was the best answer to all her questions.

Beings who can use this kind of attack lightly can definitely easily solve all combinations of the Holy Grail War. If the opponent is interested in the Holy Grail, even Kama who doesn't know what he is planning will be at his wits' end.

"What is the so-called truth?"

Saber narrowed her eyes and asked coldly.

"You gave in so quickly? Your bottom line is quite low now,"

Roland smiled and said, "If you want to question me, you have to accompany me to complete the experiment first."

Because of the dissipation of the dark aurora, the surrounding magic has become so strong that it is like a curse issued by an ominous resentful spirit.

He stretched out his hand and gently picked up a piece of it, as if he didn't understand what Saber wanted to say about a truce, and carefully studied the essence of it.

"Then...as you wish,"

Lowering her head and looking at her red-stained dress, Saber's eyes flashed with ferocity. She took her hand away from the wound and clenched the magic sword in her hand again.

Such an injury would be severe even for a heroic spirit, but for her, it was to the extent that she could get through it with just willpower.

Without any confusion, he followed the ferocity in his heart and let the surging magic power flow into the magic sword with his hands filled with murderous intent. At the same time, the sword pointed straight at Roland.

"No matter how many times you come, I will stay with you until this body collapses!"

"Ah...it doesn't have to be so troublesome, because I'm going to take action for real."

At the same time as Roland's words fell, there was a sudden thunder explosion, which directly tore apart the surrounding environment that had been turned into an alien world by shadows!

Roland's figure suddenly exploded, and in just a thought, he appeared in front of Saber.

Saber's body almost seemed to have been rehearsed. Following the inertia of raising the sword blade, she subconsciously placed the magic sword on the side of her head, blocking the pressing edge of the sword.

Even the intuition like future vision couldn't keep up with the trajectory of Roland's sword. At the same time that the power that was more terrifying than the previous strange power was suppressed, Saber could already see the magic sword in her hand hanging upside down and cutting off her neck. That beautiful yet deadly luster.

But what was worse than that was the cold feeling that crawled up his spine.

It was a reminder and urging from the subconscious, as if a higher will was controlling her body, wanting her to give up resistance and find another opportunity.

She was very familiar with this feeling. When she decided to become a Heroic Spirit, she also felt this magnificent will.

Logically speaking, as a being who has signed a contract with it and holds the holy sword to protect it, Saber should not disobey the other party's will.

However, now that she has abandoned her innocent self and turned into a demon born of obsession and desire, she still needs to worry about the thoughts of that guy who only hides in the dark and manipulates everything in a superior way. ?

Saber's eyes were cold, and her cute face was full of ferocious hatred.

Neither reason nor instinct allowed her to resist, so she had to do the opposite.

Now that the decision had been made, there was no need to worry anymore. Arturia mercilessly turned the magic power into dark ripples, and once again raised it like a torch on the sword.

Next, before Roland's sword light cuts him into two pieces, his seriously injured body will be swallowed up by the rampaging darkness.

——This is how it should be.

But the next moment, a strange scene came directly into Saber's eyes.

Before the original magic power bloomed from her magic sword was transformed into the darkness that swallowed everything, it imprinted dazzling light and shadow in the void. Following the tangible trajectory, a stream of light and shadow called In Esther's Holy Sword!

"Eh?"

Gazing at the strange sight that the smooth sacred sword had been wrapped in the irregular movement of dark spells, even forming a huge black whirlpool, Saber's heart was filled with uproar.

How can this be……

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Roland blankly.

Even the almighty intuition has completely shut down at this moment. No matter what the situation is, Saber's ability to instantly recognize the most suitable action for her has been paralyzed. This shows how futile the changes in front of her are. .

"Who...are you?"

Saber stared at Roland with disbelief, and her cold tone rarely restored the girl's ignorance.

The Sword of Oath of Victory is a weapon forged by the will of the planet in the inner sea of ​​the star in order to fight against external enemies. However, this is not a creation out of thin air, but a sublimation of the material that already exists on the planet.

Just like the fairy in the lake has different sides, so since there is a miraculous light that can reverse the dilemma, its opposite side also naturally has its own true form.

It is the original curse lurking in the British Isles. It is a weapon created by symbolizing the last afterglow of an era and all-out struggle. It symbolizes the resentment and struggle before the demise of the age of gods, so it cannot be copied.

Because, for King Arthur, the choice of Holy Spear or Holy Sword is a key factor that directly affects the direction of the world and occupies the main branches of countless parallel worlds. It is precisely because there is only one, there will be a steady stream of enemies and disasters attacking King Arthur. come, thereby advancing the process of history.

There is no need to say more about the demon dragon Vortigern. The most obvious example is Saber's sister Morgan. She was the destined person to become the king, but in the end the Holy Sword still chose King Arthur.

Without a choice, she could only become the vicious witch in history.

But what if there are two Holy Swords of Stars?

"It was successful..."

Roland looked at Esther, who perfectly integrated the dark magic power with the sacred steel in his hand, and nodded imperceptibly.

As expected, Esther's magic power is far more than that. She has the qualifications of both a holy sword and a magic sword. This can be seen from the fact that she can swallow curses, but will also return them to the user when she reaches the limit. out.

The feeling I felt when I saw the darkened Saber before may be the result of the two attracting each other.

Esther has the possibility of becoming a holy sword that is not forged by the will of the planet, but a holy sword of the stars that can transcend and even destroy the world in a true sense.

Moreover, for his own plan, this possibility of Esther will even become a crucial step.

Roland raised his head, looked at Artoria who was glaring at him, and spoke softly.

"This experiment was very successful. So, before telling the truth, as compensation for your cooperation, I will give you another reward first. If you are willing, not only your country, but also everything you care about will be You can get eternal happiness..."

"So, King Arthur, - come and make a deal with me?"
