Chapter 593

Shishigou Kairi: "Not trapped in the lies of the Holy Grail, very good."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "..."

Sajyou Hiroki didn't know the truth about the Holy Grail, but he chose to help Old Saber——

He has to admit, this Sajyou Hiroki is also someone to admire.

If it were himself, seeing the Holy Grail in hand, he probably wouldn't be able to resist that temptation.

["Now is the critical moment of the Greater Grail ritual. Even you cannot enter."]

["Please move aside."]

["I will not."]

["I will not say it a second time."]

[At this time, his words already carry the atmosphere of a tense situation.]

[Hassan of Serenity still chooses to stop him.]

[The final ritual. To activate the Greater Grail, the Master has already dedicated everything——]

["Why?"]

[Hassan of Serenity uses a tough tone, not out of anger, but out of loyalty.]

["The Master did indeed commit atrocities. However, it was all to realize your wish!"]

["...Wishes are things left for tomorrow, left for future generations."]

[Arthur says seriously: "I have already made a vow. I want to protect the child who taught me this truth!"]

["Child?"]

[Hassan of Serenity subconsciously remembers the appearance of Ayaka Sajyou.]

[That cute child also left a deep impression on her.]

["Why, why don't you give this gentleness, which is so noble and dazzling that it's even excessive——"]

[Hassan of Serenity holds a short dagger and sets up a stance.]

[Stop thinking.]

["To my Master as well!"]

["..."]

[The other party's meaning is already obvious, Arthur draws his holy sword.]

[Cross. Cut.]

[The outcome is in an instant.]

["..."]

[Hassan of Serenity falls.]

[I didn't expect the gap to be really this big——]

[She thought she had some experience in fighting heavy knights, but now it seems that was perhaps just arrogance.]

["You fought beautifully..."]

[The mask shatters, the spirit base breaks.]

["Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, if the Greater Grail is activated, ten million residents of Tokyo will lose their lives."]

[I didn't intend to say it, I had already made up my mind, yet I——]

["Am I... crazy..."]

Jinako: "This is 'the words of a dying man are good'."

Zabiko: "Really a contradictory person."

Zhang Jiao: "Hehe, it's just like those foolishly loyal people who know the master is wrong, yet still use lies to deceive themselves."

Dr. Jekyll: "Really pathetic, Hassan of Serenity."

Hassan of Serenity: "..."

Caules: "However, one-hit kill? Didn't expect this King Arthur to be so strong!"

Ciel: "This is going all out from the start."

Yumizuka Satsuki: "After all, there is no time to waste."

Artoria: "..."

Damn, lost again——

How come I feel like I can't compare to this male King Arthur in any aspect. ===== CHAPTER 1158 =====

["...You chose this way. Illusory soul, Hassan-i-Sabbah."]

[Another slender long body stands on the road leading to the Greater Grail.]

[Caster, Paracelsus von Hohenheim.]

[The preparation work has completely ended, the preparation for defense is sufficient, and the trump card for attack is still in hand.]

[In front of the one-handed sword he holds, any myth, legend, inheritance, or anything that can only manifest through magical energy will be polluted.]

[It's a pity that the person about to arrive is different.]

["Young girls. People who harbor desires. Your suffering deserves compensation, but this world also has times when it is covered by evil. Wishes are unknown, happiness turns into bubbles, and thoughts are trampled. There is no love for the innocent."]

[Opening his eyes, Caster declares this.]

[Clearly recognizing that the current place of standing, the dark center where evil things are constantly wriggling, is the residence that matches him.]

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

[Rebellious.]

[In his past life, for the magi who deviated from human ethics to pursue great wishes, he did not despise them, but he did not approve of them either.]

[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 the present, where he bows to a world ruled by tragedy and impermanence.]

[Thus, he chose to give up.]

[Resistance—this option did not exist from the beginning.]

[In the front yard of the Reiroukan mansion, when he first met the true master, the fragile soul in 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 would be the evil wizard who troubles the knight."]

[No regrets—this is a lie.]

[It is not regret for following the Master, but regret for harming a child.]

["Misaya..."]

[A young child with great talent who would one day become a king.]

[The short time talking to her was a special time surrounded by warmth and happiness.]

Jinako: "Another foolishly loyal person."

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

Jinako: "Ha! You wouldn't think this word is praising you, would you!"

Blonde Rin: "Now that you know you regret it, 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 master."

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

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

Caster: "Disgusting, right..."

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

Blonde Rin: "You guy!"

Blonde Rin only feels like she punched a cotton ball, feeling stifled.

Paracelsus, this guy, is simply impenetrable!

[Soon, Arthur clashes with Caster.]

["Welcome. This is the entrance to despair and terror."]

[Caster smiles faintly: "Finally, Knight-dono has arrived here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."]

[Arthur: "What you have in your hand is, a Noble Phantasm..."]

[Caster: "That's right, 'Elemental's Magic Sword', it can be said to be our Servant's trump card."]
