Chapter 663

~5 min read 906 words

Sieg also feels something running wild inside him, and his whole body begins to heat up without limit.

Someone inside him is shouting: Win.

He himself is roaring: I want to win.

Even if his swordsmanship cannot keep up with the opponent, even if his strength cannot defeat the opponent, he still shouts that he wants to win.

"Ahhh—"

Sieg uses the accumulated magical energy to strengthen his body, leaving the problem of muscle tissue rupture entirely to the Shroud of Magdalene to repair.

Of course, this cannot keep up with the damage.

The blood-covered Sieg roars and swings his long sword, killing toward Amakusa Shiro.

The attacks are dodged, and Amakusa Shiro's attacks land on him continuously.

Kicks, Black Keys, sword slashes.

Sieg endures these attacks on the edge of death and turns to unleash even more powerful counterattacks—of course, these counterattacks are all easily dodged.

Not enough, still too slow; he should be able to move faster.

Even if he doesn't move, this heart will force him to drive. Even if his muscles rupture, it's fine; although it hurts, it can be repaired.

Although the injuries hurt him to tears, Sieg still doesn't shrink back a single step.

If he can't catch up even at full speed, then he can only inject nitroglycerin, promoting a crazy, explosive acceleration regardless of the consequences.

For Sieg, who was created with magic circuits, magical energy is nitroglycerin.

There is infinite residual magical energy floating around, because until just now, there was a huge mass of magical energy here, so he can collect as much as possible and force his magic circuits to drive.

This is no longer a trick a homunculus can possess.

Collecting the residual magical energy around and utilizing it again—only what is called a "perpetual motion machine" can do this.

Video paused.

【Question: What exactly happened to Sieg?】

【Please answer within 5 minutes; overtime counts as giving up.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Hmm? It's not a multiple-choice question this time."

Waver: "Asking to guess the reason for the changes in Sieg, this is harder than a multiple-choice question."

Gordes: "Isn't it because of Siegfried's heart?"

【Ding! Gordes answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Gordes: "???"

Gordes: "I didn't answer the question!"

Caules: "You forgot again, Uncle; as long as you say words related to the answer, it will be automatically judged as answering."

Gordes: "I... (want to cry but have no tears)"

Celenike: "Idiot, didn't the video say before that it wasn't the heart's reason."

Gordes: "Then you tell me what other reason there is! Besides Siegfried's heart, there's nothing else in Sieg, right!"

Celenike: "How would I know!"

Fiore: "Alright you two, now is not the time to argue."

Caules: "Indeed, besides Siegfried's heart, Sieg only has the Shroud of Magdalene left; that thing is for healing, it shouldn't have the function of accelerating magical energy rotation."

Waver: "Perpetual motion machine... it seems the answer should be on this."

Kayneth: "Perpetual motion machine... no, I can't think of any connection to Sieg at all."

Fran: "... Woo woo, woo woo ah!"

【Ding! Congratulations to Fran for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

Everyone: "???"

Rin Tohsaka: "Wait a second, what did she say?"

【Frankenstein: That homunculus has my power inside him.】

Caules: "Your power? But, when?"

Fran and Sieg, the two of them don't seem to have had any contact.

【Answering time ended, video continues.】

In the past, a genius created a homunculus, and it is said that a second-class perpetual motion machine was equipped on her.

Time returns to that night of the Red and Black war; Fran hugged Mordred and self-destructed. At the moment she fell in battle, a fragment of her heart happened to hit Sieg's body.

Fran's heart is precisely what is called a perpetual motion machine.

Logically speaking, the person hit would turn into a second Frankenstein under the erosion of the fragments; the probability depends on the strength of Fran's will.

However, the kind Fran clearly resisted such a thing as possession.

She only hoped that the person could accept her fragments and thoughts.

Fran: "Ah ah."

Caules: "I didn't expect there to be such a turn of events."

Waver: "This is truly a dramatic development."

Shishigou Kairi: "Sieg, this kid, is really lucky."

Amakusa Shiro: "..."

Heh, besides laughing, what else can he do.

Caules, who had been watching the battle, couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth, murmuring: "I see, so you are there."

Didn't that design drawing say so? Her Noble Phantasm, although the probability is not high, the true trump card can indeed give birth to a second her.

Of course, this is a fantasy.

At least Sieg is not her; he doesn't retain any memories at all.

But at that time, the dying girl indeed entrusted it out.

"Please accept a part of me; I hope someone can accept it."

He accepted the wish, accepted the legacy of the Servant who was the first to be defeated in the Holy Grail War.

A part of her lived on just like this, and at this final moment, it became a help.

At this moment, Caules feels very proud.

"Go, Berserker!"

Caules: "Yeah, you are really amazing, Fran."

Fran: "Mm hehe."

Amakusa Shiro watches Sieg, who fights better and better, and unknowingly, sees Fran's shadow on the opponent.

In an instant, he understands.

I see, so that's how it is.
