Chapter 631
There is a sudden silence in the group.
Karna, who is an exceptional Servant, actually lost to Sieg.
It should be said that Sieg's final move was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
Astolfo: "Yay! Well done, Sieg!"
Jeanne: "You did it, Sieg."
Sieg: "I, this—"
Karna: "... Actually, miscalculated?"
Siegfried: "No, you didn't miscalculate; you just identified the wrong opponent."
Siegfried: "Sieg is Sieg, I am I; we are different."
Siegfried: "If it were me, you would have won the final strike."
Karna: "I see, it was my failure to identify the opponent; it was my miscalculation."
【Karna calculated everything, but he still missed one point, and that is—】
【Sieg is not Siegfried.】
【Sieg is not afraid of his weak point being exposed, because his originally fragile body was a weak point to begin with.】
【Of course, Siegfried is actually not afraid either.】
【The reason he was pierced in the back by a spear during his lifetime was precisely because he believed he had done the best he could.】
【Since being dragged into the Holy Grail War, Sieg has almost always walked with death; his sense of fear has long since gone numb.】
【Without fear, he would not reveal any openings.】
【Thus, facing Karna who circled behind him, Sieg reacted quickly, using the force of the greatsword to stab into his own abdomen, executing 'Heaven and Earth's Longevity', successfully counter-killing Karna.】
【If he had turned around to swing, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with Karna's speed at all.】
【Just like that, Sieg, who possesses 'Armor of Fafnir', recovered from his injuries immediately, but Karna, who lost his golden armor, had his Spirit Origin pierced directly.】
Waver: "To tell the truth, being able to think of this counter-kill method at such a critical moment is truly remarkable."
Artoria: "This move isn't something everyone can use."
Kairi Sisigou: "This is a killing move exclusive to this kid."
Precisely because it is Sieg, he can use this move without any scruples. If it were anyone else, or even myself, this move would definitely result in mutual destruction.】
Not just because of 'Armor of Fafnir', but because after this move, both one's own and the enemy's Spirit Origins would be pierced.】
Sieg is not a Heroic Spirit.】
Although Sieg can transform into Siegfried, he is not a Heroic Spirit, so he has no Spirit Origin.】
The source of his power is Siegfried's heart.】
【One second ends, the greatsword disappears, and Sieg returns to his original state.】
【But Karna's injuries will not disappear.】
【"I see, it seems I misjudged..."】
【Karna falls heavily to the ground, calmly accepting his miscalculation.】
【However, although he misjudged, he was truly happy in this battle.】
【Because he was too happy, he even forgot that the opponent before him was not Siegfried, but a homunculus named Sieg.】
Karna: "What a pity, I was quite looking forward to this battle."
Siegfried: "Can't be helped, the final turn of events happened, and the battle had to end hastily."
Goetia: "Hmph, boring."
Astolfo: "What are you saying, you guy ヽ(`⌒′メ)ノ!"
Goetia: "Meaningless fighting, ridiculous to the extreme."
Astolfo: "You guy!!!"
Karna: "It is not meaningless."
Karna: "Defeating the opponent with all your might, shedding blood and sweat together, no matter what the result may be, as long as you do not do anything against your will, that is a warrior."
Karna: "Every battle drives us to progress, constantly stepping onto new levels, making us move toward success step by step."
Goetia: "Nonsense, your fighting is nothing more than an act of venting the violence and desire for slaughter in your hearts; everything you do is just for your own selfish desires."
Astolfo: "What are you saying!"
Goetia: "If there were no Holy Grail, no reason at all, would you still fight like this?"
Astolfo: "No, this..."
Karna: "..."
Goetia: "See, the fighting you all speak of is, in the end, still a struggle for profit."
Everyone: "..."
Extra Feng Xi: "Perhaps, but isn't this a very normal thing?"
Extra Feng Xi: "Goetia, your fighting, does it not have a purpose? If not, you are even more of a bastard than us."
Goetia: "What did you say!"
Extra Feng Xi: "You said before that you wanted to destroy humanity, right. Wantonly slaughtering life without any reason, is this your correctness!"
Rin Tohsaka: "That's right, isn't that just a murderous maniac!"
Goetia: "Hmph, sharp-tongued, but you have indeed refuted me."
Goetia: "That's right, fighting without a purpose does not exist. Even murderous maniacs have a purpose, and that is to kill."
Goetia: "Fighting will never disappear."
【Karna: "Sorry, Sieg, it turned into you having to accompany my personal willfulness."】
【Sieg shakes his head silently, his face full of guilt that cannot be hidden.】
【"—Did I really fight properly?"】
【Karna: "I don't know. You are not the Black Saber, but it is because I forgot this point that I am lying here like this."】
【If it were Siegfried, perhaps he wouldn't have thought at all that the sword strike he released with absolute confidence would be dodged. In that case, the one who won might have been him.】
【No matter what kind of hero, as long as they are a warrior, they will cast aside the thought that the move they made with confidence will be dodged. Once they think this move won't work, it is very likely to cause a loss of confidence.】
【But Sieg is not a warrior, nor is he a hero; he is just a living being struggling to survive, which is why he miscalculated the final step.】
【Sieg did not rely on Siegfried's power.】
【Karna sincerely admires all of this.】
Waver: "Sure enough, Sieg and Siegfried are completely two different people."
Siegfried: "Congratulations, Sieg; you are already a qualified warrior."
Sieg: "No, that was just another me; the current me doesn't count as a warrior yet."
Sieg: "However, Mr. Siegfried, I will work hard."
Siegfried: "Hmm."
【Karna: "... I fulfilled the promise in my own way, you kept the promise in your own way; I do not regret the result turning out like this. Of course, defeat is regrettable—no, that might not be entirely true either."】
【Sieg: "But, we broke the taboo of one-on-one."】
【Karna: "A Servant protecting their Master is a matter of course; it was my own carelessness not to count him into the combat power."】
【"Wait a minute, that way of putting it is very hurtful."】
【Astolfo complains: "Although I also feel that shield is a bit like that, this is your own Red faction's problem."】
【The shield has already shattered; I don't know if it was because it bore the attack of the God-Slaying Spear, or because Achilles left the field.】
【Sieg: "That shield exactly..."】
【Astolfo: "That thing, Achilles gave it to me."】
【Hearing this, Sieg is completely stunned, while Karna sighs: "He perhaps made some promise he couldn't break, or wanted to put a shield that had no chance to be used to good use. Either way, being able to hand it to you really took too much courage."】
Achilles: "Hahaha, Karna, I didn't expect you to really understand me."
Karna: "Yes, after all, I spent several days with you."
Achilles: "But in this way, I am still the one who is better between us; your God-Slaying Spear couldn't break my shield at all."
Karna: "I wasn't using the God-Slaying Spear, and you couldn't break my golden armor either." ===== CHAPTER 633 =====
