Chapter 661

Mordred: "Tch, you old hag are quite tenacious too."

Empress: "There is more than one person in this world with a strong will."

Rin Tohsaka: "Old, weak, sick, and disabled, you guys really are gathered together perfectly."

Waver: "With this lineup, no wonder the final winner is Astolfo."

Amakusa Shiro: "Assassin..."

Semiramis: "Fool, don't dawdle, use a Command Spell on me quickly!"

Amakusa Shiro: "By Command Spell, my Assassin, bind the Black Rider with your power!"

He is smart and didn't issue an impractical command like defeating Astolfo.

What he needs to do now is stall for time.

At the same time, he also wants to ask clearly why she persists just like him?

But the most important thing now should be to kill that homunculus.

But, he doesn't need to wait for him to make a move.

Sieg places Laeticia in the distance, turns around, and approaches step by step.

His eyes carry clear hostility, as well as an indescribable coldness.

"—I have no resentment toward you."

"But I do."

Sieg, having lost Siegfried's power, is now going to challenge the heavily wounded Amakusa Shiro.

Waver: "Command Spell, huh? Astolfo probably won't be able to get away for a while now."

Kayneth: "This kid is actually going to single-handedly fight Amakusa Shiro. How foolish, has he lost sight of his own strength because he defeated Karna?"

Karna: "No, I can see it; he is very clear about his own strength."

Siegfried: "That's right, there are some things that one doesn't stop doing just because one lacks the strength."

"Homunculus, won't you surrender?"

"Even if I surrender, the result won't change, right? I will be killed by you."

"... If you surrender, I will not take your life. You are no longer a threat now; killing a creature driven to a dead end will give me nightmares. But of course, I must ask you to make that Servant disappear."

"I cannot let you kill Rider; that is synonymous with the death of my existence. And even if Rider weren't here, I have already chosen to join the battle."

"You are clearly no longer the Black Saber Siegfried."

"On the way here, many Servants and Masters were defeated and left; whether they were opponents or partners, everyone threw themselves into battle and ended their lives. So, I have also decided not to avoid the battle."

Sieg touches the spot where he lost his Command Spell, leaving only a black scar, and says firmly: "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, for the sake of the Holy Grail, I wish to fight you."

The smile on Amakusa Shiro's face disappears, and he says seriously: "I understand... please come over here; you won't be able to fight well over there because you have to worry about her."

To avoid involving Laeticia, they come to the area directly below the Greater Grail; this is the stage for the final duel.

The two face each other, and the killing intent stings their skin like needles.

Amakusa Shiro: "I, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, will take this Miike Denta as your opponent."

"..."

Sieg doesn't know what to say and can only silently draw the sword Astolfo gave him and set his stance.

"No! Run away, I said run away!"

Astolfo wants to go over to stop them, but the chain reinforced by the Command Spell makes him unable to break free for a moment.

Waver: "Sieg is doing this not just for himself, but also to fulfill Jeanne's wish."

Jeanne: "This kind of behavior is really too reckless."

Sieg: "But, it has to be done, doesn't it."

Sieg: "And, even if I don't make a move, they won't let me go, will they."

Jeanne: "..."

Yes, they are powerless to kill Astolfo, but they can kill Sieg, the Master, to make Astolfo indirectly exit the battle.

This battle was unavoidable from the start.

To be honest, Sieg's chances of winning this battle are really not high.

Even if Amakusa Shiro has lost one hand and is heavily wounded, he is still a Servant, while Sieg, having lost Siegfried's power, is just a weak homunculus.

But even so, he doesn't shrink back in the slightest.

Jeanne bet her life, and that is enough for him to bet his life as well.

His body suddenly becomes very hot, and his heart is like a running engine; this is his only hope now.

"The winner of this battle will get everything. I see, it really is a finale with the style of a Holy Grail War!"

A one-armed Servant who has lived for sixty years versus a homunculus born less than a month ago.

The battle begins!

Waver: "This is the true final battle."

Amakusa Shiro: "The result of this battle is already determined, unless some unexpected situation appears again."

He wouldn't be surprised if something else happened. After all, there have already been too many reversals in this Holy Grail War.

Sieg desperately tries to recall Siegfried's fighting style; as long as he can imitate thirty percent, no, twenty percent, it will be enough to fight.

Unfortunately, he is too naive.

"Homunculus, don't look down on me just because I have one arm. My true name is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada; I've walked through enough battlefields like this that I don't want to see them anymore!"

The sword Sieg swings is easily blocked by Amakusa Shiro with one hand, then the opponent hits him with a shoulder check, knocking him back, and the long sword slashes horizontally.

His chest is sliced open, and the sharp pain makes Sieg feel some fear, but he suppresses it and continues to swing his sword to fight.

The full-force slash is easily dodged, and Amakusa Shiro circles behind Sieg and kicks him in the face.

Sieg's consciousness begins to blur, and Amakusa Shiro takes the opportunity to thrust his sword, piercing his abdomen.

He has done his best.

Speed, strength, physical function—he is too far behind the opponent in all of them.

Shishigou Kairi: "Sure enough, the gap between the two sides is too big."

Celenike: "Heh heh..."

Astolfo: "Go for it! Sieg!"

"Hahaha—"

Although the situation continues to deteriorate, Sieg still doesn't shrink back and chooses to continue fighting.

This is a battle for survival, a battle to grasp something unknown, and at the same time, a battle to affirm his own heart afterward.

However, it is of no use.

Amakusa Shiro deflects Sieg's slash and slashes at the opponent's neck; Sieg hurriedly raises his sword to block, but doesn't block it completely.

His cheek is sliced open, leaving a deep wound.

Even so, Sieg continues to fight.

Astolfo: "Yes, that's it, go for it!"

Gordes: "This kid, he clearly looks like he could fall down at any moment, yet he can still continue to swing his sword."

Kayneth: "... No, this kid is a bit strange."

Amakusa Shiro gradually feels that something is wrong.

Although he is using one hand, he has been suppressing the opponent since the battle started; the gap between the two sides is too big.

He is very sure that he hasn't held back at all, but—why can't he finish him off!

Is it because anxiety caused him to make a mistake—no, it's absolutely not that.

I see, is it because of the Shroud of Magdalene the opponent is carrying?

That Shroud of Magdalene is a product of Jeanne's enchantment, capable of automatically healing the holder.

No, in the end, that Shroud of Magdalene is just a Mystic Code; it shouldn't possess the power to contend with a C-rank Noble Phantasm.

Then does he possess magical aptitude from the start? Did this aptitude bloom under the circumstances of him fighting continuously?

Kayneth: "Where exactly is it wrong—damn it, looking through a screen, I can't tell just by looking."

Waver: "I just feel that this isn't the strength a homunculus should have."

Kayneth: "Yes! That's it!"
