Chapter 594

[Without any delay, Arthur pulled out the Holy Sword.]

[No longer concealing it with the Invisible Air, the sword body emitting golden light looked incomparably dazzling in this pitch-black cave.]

["Make way for me!"]

[Avicebron: "Can. Before that, there are some questions I would like you to answer."]

["Now, are you still the Knight King who wishes to save the fallen country?"]

[Arthur had no hesitation: "No."]

["Are you still the clown who can't let go of the past and dances bound by the Holy Grail?"]

[Arthur: "No."]

["So that's it."]

[Avicebron nodded slowly, just like a teacher listening to the best answer from the most satisfied student, quietly proud of him.]

Homemaker: "Very simple, decisive, without any confusion."]

Round Table Knights: "..."

Seeing the King of another world completely let go, they really don't know whether to be happy or sad.]

Artoria's mood is also a bit complicated.]

Watching so many developments, she is actually a bit shaken.]

Maybe she should be like Arthur, let go.]

The past is in the past, don't be obsessed with it anymore.]

The future belongs to the present.]

[The moment I had been longing for.]

[Actually, only a few days passed, but it felt like hundreds of years had passed.]

[Every day of falling into evil, harming others, and obeying the world, was strangely slow.]

[Every minute, every second, was tortured by that dense reality.]

[Just like swimming in a sea of red coal, constantly swallowing dirty filth—the reality of living as evil.]

[Those were days of humiliation, not out of original intention—it's easy to say that.]

[But Avicebron will not defend himself like this.]

[Why?]

[Because, the way of living by obeying an absolute being stronger than oneself—]

[Is simply too sweet, too comfortable.]

[Throwing individual self and dignity under one's feet, drifting with the current in the torrent of great power.]

[Thus, there is no anxiety or hardship.]

[There, only peace and pleasure exist.]

Rin Tohsaka: "So this guy is the kind of person who likes to live in his own world and does whatever others tell him to do."]

Winter Tiger: "Isn't that a corporate slave?"]

Caules: "The term corporate slave is a bit..."]

Blonde Rin: "Not even as good as a corporate slave."]

Caules: "..."]

["Holy Grail War. In the days when you confront your own proposition, I have been tasting the extreme pleasure of depravity. Even if thrown into the Greater Grail and swallowed and digested, my soul probably wouldn't be more corrupted. Because, it has already been dyed so pitch black..."]

[Avicebron smiled and raised his Noble Phantasm.]

[His posture of holding the sword is so unfamiliar that those who are good at sword skills would probably laugh at it. However, it carries an indescribable dangerous aura.]

["However, I rejoice at the arrival of this moment. If it were you, you would kill me, right?"]

["Do you want to be killed, Caster?"]

["No, no."]

[Avicebron looked indifferent: "Hehe, you will be troubled if you misunderstand me like this, Saber."]

["Committing a great rebellion, knowing I am evil, now, I am just a monster that greedily eats and destroys precious things. Actively stretch out my head for you to behead?"]

["How is that possible. Just simply don't understand. As a modern Holy Sword wielder, why have you not beheaded me until now—"]

[The magic sword began to emit a faint light.]

Caules: "This is, asking for death..."]

Zabiko: "It feels like he is confiding in someone."]

Karna: "Yeah, it's like being suppressed for a long time."]

Zhang Jiao: "Living really poorly, alchemist."]

Avicebron: "Yeah..."]

["I am, the enemy of heroes!"]

["The modern magus who admitted to being a friend is equivalent to being killed by me. The young daughter loved by a friend is equivalent to being cursed by me."]

["Just like the declaration at that time, I have filled the Greater Grail with countless human lives in the Far East!"]

[Preparation complete, the magic circuits in the body are synchronized with the magic crest, connected to the Noble Phantasm.]

[Light patterns flew across the body surface, and the severe pain caused by overload swept through the whole body.]

["So what."]

["Now, now, now also... at the end of this road, you will also see!"]

["See the girls whose wills have been taken away, whose intellects have been bound, and who have been reduced to automatic machines offering souls! The people I love more than my own life, killed by me! Hahaha—with high efficiency!"]

[Something dripped down his cheek, unrelated to the Noble Phantasm.]

[Arthur: "...Why are you shedding tears, Caster?"]

[Avicebron: "No, how can there be tears. A demon that eats human dignity cannot shed tears!"]

[Bloody tears, never stopping.]

["At this very moment, I am, a demon under the Empress!"]

[Has he fallen into madness—]

[No. His actions are precise. His Noble Phantasm can already be released in a winning state.]

[However, Arthur is the same.]

[Tearing off the restraint of the Wind King Scabbard, even if it's just a simple sweep, it can exert dozens of times the usual power. If the True Name is released again, it will inevitably be able to reproduce the great achievement of the decisive battle at the Tokyo Bay temple, the star light that destroys all things.]

["Caster!"]

[The knight's eyes are fixed on the opponent.]

["Self-proclaimed evil alchemist, this is my last question."]

["Why do you pursue the Holy Grail?"]

["Foolish question! I want to reach the Root, grasp the truth of the world, and save—"]

[Saying this, Paracelsus freezes.]

[I want to save—the young children spread across the earth who should receive love...]

[In an instant, Paracelsus receives a huge shock that makes him forget himself.]

["...Is that so. I..."]

[The magic sword is raised high, and the crystals of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind rise slowly.]

["The Root and... the brilliance of the Holy Grail, have they already, dazzled my eyes..."]

["Waiting to be judged by justice, talking about love, I... I Paracelsus..."]

[Magical energy converges, converges.]

["Is so ugly! Misread..."]

[True Name Release—'Sword of the Elementalist'!"]

[The light of ether galloping through the darkness fills the entire underground passage.]

[Paracelsus's Noble Phantasm, the prototype of the Azoth sword, when the ultra-high-density magical energy crystal 'Philosopher's Stone' that constitutes the blade is perfectly synchronized with the four elements, it can release a short-term power comparable to an Rank Rank Anti-City Noble Phantasm.]

Kayneth: "So strong! This is the power of the legendary Azoth sword!"]

Waver: "If you are careless for a moment, you might really stumble."]

[Powerful magical energy, theoretically even if it's three Servants, they will inevitably be destroyed by the magical energy that has been converted into light.]

[Of course, it's in the case of being hit directly.]
