Chapter 1155

【"... You made such a choice. Illusory soul, Hassan-i-Sabbah."】

【Another slender, tall figure stood on the road leading to the Greater Grail.】

【Caster, Paracelsus von Hohenheim.】

【The preparations are completely finished, the defensive preparations are sufficient, and the trump card for attack is still in hand.】

【In front of the one-handed sword he holds, any myth, legend, tradition, or anything that manifests through magical power will be polluted.】

【Unfortunately, the person about to arrive is different.】

【"Young girls. People with desires. Your suffering deserves compensation, but this world also has times when it is covered by evil. Wishes go unknown, happiness turns into bubbles, and longing is trampled. There is no love for the innocent."】

【Opening his eyes, Caster declared this.】

【Clearly recognizing that the current place of standing, the dark center where evil things squirm endlessly, is exactly the residence that suits him.】

【"And now, the one who tramples on the path of justice and spreads the embryos of evil is me."】

【Blasphemous.】

【In his past life, he did not despise, but also did not approve of, the magi who deviated from human ethics to pursue great wishes.】

【The belief he carried throughout his life was to save people, care for young children, and guide the progress of medicine and society. Contrasting sharply with such a life is his current state of bowing to a world ruled by tragedy and impermanence.】

【Thus, he chose to give up.】

【Resistance—this option never existed from the beginning.】

【In the front courtyard of the Reiroukan mansion, when he first met the true master, the fragile soul within this body twisted and deformed, no longer remaining in its original state.】

【After the overflowing despair and regret, all that remained was deep awe for the beautiful and terrifying master of the world.】

【He is no longer worthy of the name of hero, and what is about to unfold is not a glorious battle.】

【"... In fairy tales, I am the bad wizard who makes things difficult for the knight, right?"】

【No regrets—that is a lie.】

【It is not regret for following the Master, but regret for harming a child.】

【"Misaya..."】

【A talented young child who would one day become a king.】

【The brief time spent talking with her was a special time surrounded by warmth and happiness.】

Jinako: "Another foolishly loyal person."

Caster: "Loyal... I'm not worthy of that word."

Jinako: "Ha! You don't think that word is a compliment, do you!"

Blonde Rin: "Now you know regret, what were you doing earlier?"

Blonde Rin: "Don't forget, you just defected to a new master and couldn't wait to help the new master persecute the old one."

Blonde Rin: "No, that child wasn't even the old master."

Blonde Rin: "Now you're doing this, disgusting!"

Caster: "Disgusting, huh..."

Caster: "You're right, this kind of post-facto regret is indeed nauseating."

Blonde Rin: "You guy!"

Blonde Rin only felt like she had punched cotton, feeling extremely stifled.

This guy Paracelsus is simply impervious to reason!

【Soon, Old Saber confronted Caster.】

【"Welcome. This is the entrance to despair and terror."】

【Caster smiled faintly: "Finally, Sir Knight has arrived here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."】

【Old Saber: "What you have in your hand is a Noble Phantasm..."】

【Caster: "That's right, 'Sword of Paracelsus', it can be said to be our trump card as Servants."】
