Chapter 342

【Perhaps, at the very end, one can find out what they have lost.】

【This is the foundation of being human, the emotion that humans must have to dominate this world.】

Shishigou: "..."

Did the me in the original work choose a path to death—

Yes, the family's curse, the daughter's death, had long made him live like a walking corpse; it was just that he had never shown it.

Only in the few days he had been with Mordred did he finally feel that he was somewhat like a human.

Mordred: "Hey, hey, I say you, uh..."

Mordred didn't know what to say either.

In the days she had been with Shishigou, she hadn't noticed that this guy was living so numbly.

No, there were indeed signs in the first day or two, she just didn't care.

"... es, that's right, both that guy and I still have hands that can reach out."

【Kairi Sisigou takes out a pistol-style syringe from his bosom and transmits to Mordred.】

"Saber, can you hear me?"

【There is no response, but there is a feeling of connection.】

"Don't you want to lose to the Red Assassin?"

"... ou bastard, isn't that nonsense?" 【Mordred reacts.】

"Then, does it matter if you die because of this?"

"It doesn't matter!"

"Good—Saber, be prepared. If things go well, we can give that Assassin a hit."

Rin Tohsaka: "What on earth are they going to do?"

Waver: "Is there some magic potion in that syringe?"

Kayneth: "Is he going to rush in and inject the medicine into Mordred's body? This is suicide..."

The deadly poison that even Heracles couldn't withstand, how could Shishigou, a mortal, withstand it?

Saying the winning rate was less than one percent, it was actually a path of ten deaths and no life.

【Inside the room, Semiramis comes to Mordred's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, looking playful.】

"Oh, still holding on; it seems you have a wish you want to realize."

【Thinking she has the victory in hand, she doesn't pay attention to the transmission anymore.】

"My wish—"

【Mordred grinds her teeth and says:】 "My wish, need I say? Of course, it's your head!"

【Then she spits a mouthful of blood-mixed saliva at Semiramis.】

【Looking at the saliva on her face, Semiramis is stunned for a moment, then gets up and says:】 "Fine, then I'll turn you and your Master into miserable mud dolls together."

"BOOM!!!"

【Just at this moment, something explodes behind Semiramis.】

"What—?"

【Semiramis's voice stops abruptly; she is clearly startled by something.】

"Saber, make a sound!"

"Master?"

"Wait for me there."

【Kairi Sisigou steps into the poison gas without caring, approaching Mordred while pulling the trigger of his shotgun at Semiramis and throwing a heart grenade.】

【Although it doesn't hurt the opponent, it successfully makes the opponent retreat as he planned.】

【However, it really hurts; he has already cut off his sense of pain, yet he can still feel the pain—it's not the poison that even Chiron begged for mercy from.】

【Concentrating his spirit, he takes out the pistol-type syringe from his bosom and continues to rush toward Mordred.】

【There is only one chance; if he misses, he will face a stupid ending.】

"Stand up, King!"

【Kairi Sisigou soon meets the same fate as Mordred, his other eye blinded, but he still successfully reaches Mordred's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side and injects the serum into Mordred's body.】

【This is the only way to counter the Hydra poison; although it was made temporarily, its efficacy is absolutely enough to wake Saber up.】

Waver: "Hydra serum? How could there be such a thing?"

Kayneth: "Idiot, have you forgotten? He took the juvenile Hydra from Roche."

Waver: "It's that!"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "This is truly a wonderful fate; is it some kind of sixth sense?"

Shishigou: "No, I just thought the casualty rate of this mission would be very high, so I planned to make a profit, and that old guy's office had that bottle of juvenile Hydra as the most precious thing."

Shishigou: "However, it really feels like fate is playing with people."

"Cough, ha!"

【Pain surges through Mordred's body, making her feel like she is about to explode, and she immediately spits out a pool of black blood.】

【So hot, a heat flow is rushing through her body, making her feel like her whole body is boiling—】

Semiramis: "This—"

【And this scene also completely shocks Semiramis.】

【Mordred climbs up from the ground, grinning:】 "Hi, long time no see."

【She slashes with her sword, signaling that she has completely revived and seems to no longer be affected by the surrounding poison gas.】

"You guy..."

【The plan has changed; the best choice now is to retreat first; anyway, Saber's Master is poisoned and won't live long.】

【Once the Master dies, even if Mordred is detoxified, what can she do? Won't she just die together?】

【Just looking at Mordred's provocative smile makes Semiramis feel very unhappy.】

【Thus, Semiramis is uncharacteristically willful for once and makes a decision that goes against her judgment.】

【She wants to have a good fight with Mordred.】

Mordred: "Heh, I thought your heart really had no waves, woman."

Semiramis: "Hmph!"

So what if she stayed? The previous answer already said that Mordred exited and Shishigou died, and there was simply no her. In other words, she lived well.

Semiramis: "Your smile is annoying!"

【A large number of chains are summoned, this time as many as two hundred, attacking Mordred from all directions.】

"You're the annoying one!"

【Mordred runs while counterattacking; although she successfully shatters most of the chains, three remain, and she is entangled by the opponent.】

【This time, Mordred directly performs "Mana Burst," shatters the chains, and kills toward Semiramis at the fastest speed.】

【Semiramis teleports back to the throne, summons divine fish scales to block Mordred, and immediately decides to summon the strongest demonic beast she can summon.】

"In the way!"

【Mordred slashes the divine fish scales and wants to continue sprinting, but in these few seconds of delay, Semiramis's spell is already complete.】

" 'Fill, Manifest'!"

【Her strongest summoned beast, one of Tiamat's 11 monsters, Bashmu, appears!】

"Alright Saber, let me see your miserable look!"

"Ha."

Ishtar: "It's actually Bashmu! You human can actually summon this thing!"

Although the Heroic Spirits had seen Semiramis summon Bashmu during the great battle against Goetia last night, they didn't know the opponent's identity.

Waver: "I remember, Tiamat's 11 monsters seem to have been created by this Mother Goddess of Creation to destroy the gods, right?"

Ishtar: "That's right, they are the enemies of the gods. But after Bashmu was defeated by Marduk, it became a monster that did good and was used to guard the gate."

Ishtar: "No, it's only half a body. I said so, how could a human completely summon an existence like Bashmu."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Even if it's half a body, it's an extremely terrifying existence."

Waver: "The outcome is really decided now."

Shishigou: "No, don't jump to conclusions too early."

【Semiramis is too arrogant; because of her pride, she ignored the difference between now and before.】
