Chapter 527

【Ilumia revealed a ferocious smile, leaped into the air in a Z-shaped trajectory, then nimbly stepped on the cave stone wall to jump to another stone wall, transforming herself into a sharp arrow and rushing toward Gray.】

【Waver was stunned: "This is too exaggerated!"】

【What this woman displayed was a transcendent high speed that even beasts couldn't reach.】

【"Teacher, be careful!"】

【Gray immediately met her and fought with Ilumia.】

【"If only you hadn't been born in this village."】

【Accompanied by a whisper, Ilumia's gauntlet burst out with powerful purple lightning, intending to take Gray's life.】

【At this moment, the sound of hard objects colliding rang out.】

【It was Berserker; he actually blocked Ilumia's attack with his axe.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is this woman really human! That movement, that speed—is that really something a human can do!"

Risei Kotomine: "It's a pity. Such a good seedling was sent to a remote area because of her background, without proper guidance, and even her mindset has gone wrong."

Waver: "But this old man is not simple either; he was actually able to block the other party's attack."

Rin Tohsaka: "This village is really full of hidden talents."

【Ilumia: "Hmm? I thought you would stand by and watch."】

【"Because I am also the Gravekeeper of Blackmoore."】

【Stuck against the other party's gauntlet with his axe, Berserker said in a deep voice: "The successor I chose said she wanted to do something. Then, witnessing her actions is my duty."】

【Ilumia: "Oh, that sounds very humane."】

【As she spoke, she quickly raised her leg, and her heel slashed down from the top of Berserker's head with violent speed.】

【Berserker dodged quickly, narrowly avoiding the attack. Ilumia's heel grazed his cheek, leaving a wound, and smashed heavily into the ground, gouging out a pit.】

【The other party was going straight for the kill, with no intention of showing mercy.】

【Even so, Berserker remained firm and did not retreat.】

Waver: "Is this woman a monster! I feel like she could even trade blows with a Heroic Spirit!"

Rin Tohsaka: "She's also merciless, going straight for the kill."

【Berserker: "Go! Gray!"】

【Encouraged by this shout, Gray immediately took a step and ran wildly toward the masked girl.】

【In this diluted magic power, she could only barely drive the minimum level of reinforcement, but she still tried her best to swing her scythe, repelling the swarms of skeleton soldiers, and successfully rushed to the masked girl.】

【Masked Girl: "... Why, come."】

【Gray: "I am here to see you."】

【Masked Girl: "For what purpose?"】

【Gray: "To, ask you."】

【Although both sides were talking, the skeleton soldiers had no intention of stopping. Lacking power, Gray could only multitask, struggling to knock them away.】

【Gray: "Are you really King Arthur's mind?"】

【Masked Girl: "That's right, I am the directionality of the King who existed in the past. I am the remains, the afterimage, the sequence preserved for the future."】

【The other party's answer made Gray feel fear, because the answer was too methodical.】

【Too extreme, just like seeing a mathematical formula listed before her eyes.】

【If she is King Arthur's mind, what kind of personality did King Arthur have during his lifetime?】

【If King Arthur's mind is her, is that really the way a human heart exists?】

【Rather than calling it human, it's more like some different kind of god...】

The Knight of Rebellion: "Not at all! How is this guy like my father!"

Lancelot: "Indeed, the King is not cold like this."

Irisviel: "Indeed not like Saber."

Feng Xi thought to himself: "Of course not."

Just like Gray's thought, this masked girl's mind is not the King's at all, but the god 'Rhongomyniad' residing in the Holy Spear.

That it turned out this way is entirely because that woman Morgan misunderstood, thinking the King's soul was in the Holy Spear.

【"No, I didn't come here to think about that kind of thing!"】

【Gray hurriedly interrupted her own wild thoughts, raised her eyes, and asked the question she should ask.】

【"Have you always been here?"】

【"..."】

【The masked girl's intention went blank for a moment, similar to an emotion of astonishment.】

【She seemed to be saying: "Why do you have to ask about this?"】

【"... It was you."】

【A moment later, the masked girl was born; this time, she actually spoke in person.】

【"Ten years ago, I awakened here with you."】

Waver: "Ten years ago again! The time when King Arthur was summoned in the Fourth War!"

Kayneth: "Is it some kind of induced formula? Along with King Arthur's Heroic Spirit manifestation, the phantasm body and mind were completed."

Kayneth: "But if it's true, what is the principle..."

【Gray: "... With, me..."】

【So, she has been spending her time underground for these ten years?】

【Gray: "What about the villagers? Do they know of your existence?"】

【Masked Girl: "Only the old woman who is the leader knows in the village. You seem to call her Granny? That said, the organization called the church seems to have vaguely noticed."】

【Gray: "..."】

【The war secretly staged in this village was exposed by someone who could be called another self, while she had been kept in the dark for these ten years.】
