Chapter 465

……….

【"Why, in the end..."】

【Blocking the sword pressure from Saber's Mana Burst, Lancelot felt no triumph, but rather a deeper desolation; his face was written with a desire for death.】

【Why, in the end.】

【Why did he suddenly turn his blade against the King?】

【Looking at that familiar face, that dignified posture, which he admired so much.】

【But the more he looked, the more painful it became, as if his heart were being gnawed by venomous snakes.】

【It was clearly so hard to be reunited, to see the King again.】

【Clearly, all he had to do was offer his neck to find release and peace; with two such wonderful things coming together, why did it have to turn out like this?】

【Whose fault is it, in the end...】

【Sprinting through the clouds high in the sky, watching the King below, who was furiously unleashing heaven-piercing sword Qi in pursuit, Lancelot's eyes were hollow and his face twisted.】

【Want to die... so want to die...】

【Immense guilt and pain surged continuously from his heart, as the Berserker instinct of the Berserker class gradually eroded him.】

【It is his fault.】

【If he hadn't cuckolded his own superior, he wouldn't have spent every night meeting with the Queen, nor would he have been caught by that yin-yang man Agravain and his men.】

【He also wouldn't have accidentally killed that bitch, sparking the civil war among the Knights of the Round Table, leading to the destruction of Camelot, to which they and the King had devoted everything.】

【The immortal King would not have died, nor would he have appeared in this Holy Grail War.】

【He also wouldn't be so filled with regret, pain, and collapse that he would circle the Throne of Heroes night and day, hoping for release...】

【Hahahaha...】

【Pitch-black aura of hatred spilled out; Lancelot laughed in a breakdown, narrowly missing a roaring golden beam of light, and landed on the roof of a building.】

【"Arthur... Arthur... Arthur!!!"】

【Completely ignoring Yaino's life or death, he threw her toward the distance.】

【Lancelot turned his palm into a blade and thrust it into the floor; scarlet textures spread, instantly turning the building into a Noble Phantasm, blocking the golden torrent of light.】

【"Yaino—!"】

【The golden-haired King let out a cry of shock and anger.】

【A tyrannical, insane, pitch-black demonic shadow was already gliding from the sky, swinging a staff toward her.】

【"Arthur..."】

【Boom, boom, boom, boom—】

【Mushroom clouds formed a line, and one high-rise building after another slowly collapsed.】

………

【"Have you already lost the ability to speak?"】

【"What's going on? It's completely different."】

【Kuroba Kaito was stunned.】

【"Hmph, my foolish disciple, don't you understand this yet?"】

【Amidst the mocking tone, Kudo Yusaku slowly landed on the steel beam of the bridge.】

【Overhead.】

【"Forgive my offense, my lord."】

【Diarmuid let go of the hand holding his collar and stood respectfully to one side.】

【Kuroba Kaito looked at the Rider's chariot and had just laughed triumphantly, but seeing Kudo Yusaku narrow his eyes with a dangerous gaze, his voice stopped abruptly like a duck being throttled.】

【"Hmph, I don't know how you took your Spirit Invocation class."】

【With a mocking remark, Kudo Yusaku looked at the pitch-black knight leaping high in the distance: "How can human will compare to that of a Heroic Spirit?"】

【"Even if one becomes a vessel for a Servant by taking a shortcut, the erosion of consciousness is inevitable."】

【"That is a Servant manifested in the Berserker class; under the Mad Enhancement skill, how could he control himself to avoid erosion?"】

【Kuroba Kaito was stunned: "In other words..."】

【Kudo Yusaku crossed his arms and said with narrowed eyes: "It won't be long before that Master named Matou Kariya's consciousness completely dissipates. Hmph, to be able to hold on for so long... it seems he might be a decent mage."】

【In fact, there was one thing he didn't say.】

【According to his investigation, that Berserker was very likely the legendary champion knight Lancelot, who indirectly caused the fall of ancient Britain.】

【Judging by the fact that he only lost control after encountering Saber, his former master, his willpower was simply incredibly strong.】

【Matou Kariya...】

【Who on earth are you!!!】

………

【Across the ocean.】

【A certain Asian community.】

【"Kariya, the customer at table seven wants a curry chicken cutlet rice."】

【The woman with her hair in a bun turned and shouted toward the kitchen.】

【"Hi, hi, it'll be ready in a moment."】

【The man, sweating profusely in the kitchen, wiped his sweat, but couldn't help sneezing; fortunately, he turned his head in time.】

【"Emmm... could it be that old monster is nagging me?"】

【"Heh heh heh, keep dreaming, you old hag. I have a wife, a child, and a house now; only a ghost would go back to feed the bugs."】

【Well, although the daughter was a gift from taking the wife...】

【Muttering a few words, the man who ran away at six and grew up safely with good luck continued his fiery life.】

……….

"Hahahaha, +1 for the Emperor of Brain-Filling!"

"It's all in their heads, it's all in their heads, it's all completely in their heads."

"One wrong step, every step wrong. If Matou Kariya goes on like this, I'm afraid he'll become a Heroic Spirit after he dies. I can already imagine his confused expression when he's summoned in some future Holy Grail War."

The whole world was laughing like crazy.

What the hell, "who on earth are you," the guy is just selling boxed lunches, okay?

And imagining it as two different consciousnesses? Do you think it's schizophrenia?

"No... hahaha... I mean... who could have guessed this? Looking at it... it's completely like two different people. Plus Luo Shu's sneaky manipulation, it would be a ghost if they didn't think crookedly."

Many people were laughing until they were out of breath, but putting themselves in their shoes, it really is hard to hold back.

………..

【"Arthur————!!!"】

【Pitch-black demonic flames surged, rising several stories high.】

【Amidst the ruins, the pitch-black knight, like a demon god, leaped into the clouds carrying the load-bearing pillar turned into a Noble Phantasm, roaring as he fell like a meteorite, roaring as he swung it down.】

【The golden King felt a sense of familiarity.】

【The person in front of her was clearly no longer the Master named Matou Kariya; she was familiar with the person who should be the original spirit base.】

【"Who on earth are you!"】

【Saber glared, holding the holy sword of brilliance, and slashed upward!】

【"Clang————!"】

【The earth for thousands of meters shook in unison, and even space wrinkled layer by layer under this terrifying collision.】

【"¨「¨「Arthur..."】

【A frantic roar came from within the pitch-black armor, as he held the ten-meter-plus load-bearing pillar turned into a Noble Phantasm and pressed down fiercely.】

【The storm swirling around the invisible sword was forcibly shaken away, revealing the brilliant golden sword body, which was pressed hard against Saber's armor, shooting out blinding sparks.】

【Sizzle————】

【Surrounding the two, a whirlwind rose, the earth for a thousand meters suddenly sank, collapsing layer by layer, with soil and rocks floating up.】

【Vast power poured out, and the earth finally groaned and shattered completely amidst the tremors, with blocks of land rising under the grand force.】

【Only the golden and pitch-black lights remained in collision.】

【"No, Saber seems to be in the wrong state."】

【On the bridge, Kudo Yusaku keenly sensed the problem with that King Arthur.】

【Could it be...】
