Chapter 195 The Unfinished Battle
The pier and the coastline.
Asuka warily raised her sword, sizing up the berserker who had suddenly stopped moving.
The red light in the other person's eyes was rapidly fading.
The tall figure swayed, and the trident in its hand fell onto the sea with a thud, turning into black spiritual particles and dissipating.
Immediately afterwards, the berserker's body also began to turn transparent.
That's a sign that the Servant has been forced to become a spirit and retreat after losing its mana supply.
In the last moments before completely disappearing.
The berserker raised his head, his face covered by a bone mask looking at the bird.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
The bird actually saw a fleeting glimmer of clarity in those eyes that were originally filled with madness.
next second.
The berserker's figure completely transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished into the night.
Only Asuka remained, gripping her knife, staring blankly at the empty sea.
That berserker Grim Reaper... was he, like me, dragged into Fuyuki City from the mortal world?
Was he the team leader who went on the mission with Shinobu? Looks like we need to find a way to bring him back to his senses...
Feiniao looked down at the raccoon in his hand.
The blade was still trembling slightly, as if savoring the delicious meal it had just eaten.
"Anyway... it seems we survived."
With a casual wave of his hand, the demon transformed into an invisible spiritual particle and merged into his body.
He had to admit that he liked this aspect; it was easy to carry, and he wished he could bring this ability back to the present world.
However, although the crisis has been temporarily averted, there are still other troublesome individuals present.
Rumble—
The thunderous sound of wheels crashed down from mid-air.
Iskandar, the conqueror who drove the chariot pulled by the divine chariot wheels, reined in the reins, causing the chariot, drawn by two divine bulls, to hover in front of the bird.
"Hahaha! That was absolutely brilliant!"
Iskandar's rugged face was filled with undisguised admiration.
He looked down at the birds, his red cloak fluttering in the wind.
"That berserker's power was so overwhelming that even I had to avoid his attacks! I never expected that you, an unknown brat, could actually withstand a blow that was powerful enough to shatter the ocean!"
The Conqueror stroked his thick red beard, his eyes gleaming with the light of someone who had discovered a treasure: "Avenger, though you are not well-known, you are indeed a rare and formidable general!"
"So! How about joining my ranks?!"
"Huh?" Asuka raised an eyebrow.
"I will bestow upon you a glory second only to mine! Together we will conquer this world and witness the end of the endless sea! Rather than seeking revenge in these dark corners, why not come with me to enjoy boundless glory?!"
If someone else had said these words, they would probably have been considered crazy.
But coming from the mouth of this great emperor in history, it carries an irresistible sense of pride and sincerity.
Even Artoria, who had been standing vigilantly not far away, protecting Irisviel, couldn't help but glance at her.
This conqueror king really is recruiting soldiers wherever he goes.
Asuka looked at the mountain-like man in front of her and shook her head firmly: "Sorry, big guy."
"I have already made a contract, even though she is not as strong as you, even though she is a young and immature brat, and even though she cannot provide magic power."
"But since I promised to protect her, I won't go back on my word."
The bird turned its head and looked past the ruins at Kotobuki, who was supporting her mother on the outskirts of the dock area.
Iskandar followed the bird's gaze and saw the ordinary girl who was trembling but still trying her best to stand up straight.
He paused for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha! So that's how it is! A loyal and righteous man indeed! Good! Very good!"
Iskandar slapped his thigh hard, his admiration deepening: "Since you have your heart set on someone else, then I won't force you! Avenger, I'll remember your magnanimity!"
"The next time we meet will be on the battlefield! Don't hold back then!"
Having said that, he suddenly swung the reins.
"Let's go, kid!"
"Whoa! Slow down!"
Amidst the panicked screams of his frail Master Waver beside him, Kamui Wheel transformed into a bolt of lightning, roaring as it hurtled towards the heavens.
After watching the noisy giant leave, the atmosphere on the dock eased slightly.
"6
...the Avengers."
A cold, clear voice rang out.
Artoria dispelled the Wind King's barrier, revealing the holy sword that exuded a sacred aura, while still maintaining a vigilant stance.
"Although the rider speaks highly of you, during the battle just now, I sensed an unsettling aura emanating from your blade... a power that devours souls and curses the living."
As a knight queen, she has a natural aversion to this kind of evil power.
"What kind of evil spirit are you?"
Asuka turned her head and looked at the righteous and clear-eyed young female knight king.
He didn't explain much, but simply replied, "My 'Tao' technique is indeed not very clean. After all, it has slain too many evil spirits and has been tainted by too much filth. But as long as it strikes those that deserve to be killed, I don't care whether it is sacred or not."
"As for who I am, just call me Asuka."
Birds?
Artoria searched her mind for the name, but to no avail.
This was not the name of any hero she knew.
"Knight King, let's go."
Just then, Irisviel, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
She pressed the communicator to her ear, clearly having received Kiritsugu Emiya's order to retreat.
Today's objective has been achieved.
Having witnessed the strength of each of the various classes, especially this enigmatic Avenger, the intelligence gathering work has been more than completed.
"In that case, farewell, Avenger."
Artoria gave Asuka a deep look, then protected Irisviel and quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving the dock.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling battlefield became deserted.
The only sounds were the waves crashing against the shore and the occasional distant siren.
"Is it finally over...?"
'
Feiniao stretched his stiff neck and quickly ran towards the dock.
There, Sumire Kamado was supporting Haruto, who was limping, her face filled with shock.
"Mr. Asuka!"
Seeing the bird approaching, Sumire Kamado's eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.
But Haruto Kamado's reaction was completely different.
The strong single mother instinctively shielded her daughter behind her, watching the man in front of her warily, who was dressed in a strange black kimono and reeked of blood.
Although it was this man who had just saved them, as an ordinary citizen, everything that happened tonight was far beyond her comprehension.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?"
Qingli swallowed hard, her voice slightly strained.
