Liudong Temple, in front of the simple gate.
The cold wind blew across the earth, and the diffuse smoke gradually dispersed.
The vegetation in the area in front of the door has been destroyed, leaving only gravel and cracks on the ground.
Saber fell on her side in a big pit, her breath was very weak. The silver knight armor she wore was broken in many places, and her battle dress was stained with blood.
Holding back the severe pain, she supported her body with her sword, shook off some dust and small gravel from her body, and struggled to stand up.
She naturally looked very embarrassed at this moment, with multiple wounds on her body bleeding, and her fair face was stained with blood and dust. She was dirty all over, but her emerald eyes still showed stubbornness.
"Although I'm showing mercy, your ability to stand up so quickly is still a bit beyond my expectation."
Jin Shining put down the Guili sword in his hand and stared at the woman in front of him with blood-red eyes.
Saber gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth but did not reply.
At the last moment, the opponent stopped attacking, so she was not directly hit by EA, but was only blown by the wind pressure, but even so, she was seriously injured.
In this current state, her strength is still less than 30% of her peak state. The key is that the magic power in her body is almost exhausted.
Saber gritted her teeth and stared at Archer. The magic aura lingering on him was abundant, proving that the previous blow did not consume much of the opponent's magic power.
In other words, the King of Heroes didn't actually try his best to liberate his Noble Phantasm just now, but even so, she failed and was irrefutably defeated.
She lost to Wu Ming in the last martial arts competition, and this time she lost to the King of Heroes in the Noble Phantasm competition, which somewhat affected her self-confidence.
Saber subconsciously glanced at the black ring in her hand, feeling a little desperate.
Facing such a powerful and difficult enemy, is Wuming's so-called trump card really useful?
"Saber, now do you understand the gap between us?" The King of Heroes stood upright and said with a smile, "Put down your sword and become my wife, and I will reward you with the Holy Grail!"
When Archer did not choose to kill her, but said these words again, Saber realized that he was not joking.
There was some surprise on her face, and Artoria frowned. Even though she admitted that she was a woman, she had never thought about marrying someone else.
Although she was married, she only had friendship with Guinevere.
To be honest, she doesn't really understand what true love and marriage are, and she doesn't even understand or appreciate human emotions very well.
She has always tried to keep herself away from people.
Staring at the King of Heroes with emerald green eyes, Saber pondered for a moment and then shook her head: "Archer, I refuse!"
"Why? You know, it's an honor for you to be favored by this king!" Jin Shining's handsome face was full of pride.
If I fall in love with you, you must be flattered and accept it quickly.
The domineering president──Mr.
It's a pity that he used the wrong target. The King of Knights is not a love-minded little woman, at least not in front of Mr. Jin.
Seeing Archer's nostrils turned up in the air, Saber felt extremely disgusted, and she said unceremoniously:
"It's your honor to be rejected by me!"
She rarely spoke like this, but she only had hatred and disgust for the guy in front of her, so there was no need to be polite.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Probably because he didn't expect her to answer like this, Jin Shining seemed to be amused.
He laughed unbridled for a while, then turned his face instantly and announced with a cold and domineering expression:
"Saber, I didn't ask for your opinion. You have no other choice but to marry me!"
So what if she doesn't want to, she can just snatch it away. It's not like he has never done this kind of thing like bullying men and dominating women.
Hearing these unreasonable words from the King of Heroes, Saber's face turned completely cold, and the disgust in her heart reached its peak.
"Archer, you are a tyrant who forces women, and you have no gentlemanly manners. You are so disgusting!"
Having believed in chivalry all her life, she hated this kind of barbaric possession of women as if they were objects.
Seeing her angry look, Jin Shining still didn't care. His blood-red eyes were full of teasing, as if he was admiring a cat having a tantrum.
"Saber, if you think about it carefully, don't you want the Holy Grail?"
Jin Shining smiled and stared at her playfully. He knew her obsession and maybe there was a way to make her obey.
Saber's face darkened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
She raised the invisible holy sword with her right hand and pointed it at him, and pressed the thumb of her left hand on the black ring on her index finger:
"Archer, if you want to steal the Holy Grail, kill me first!"
Seeing how stubborn she was, Mr. Jin finally became a little impatient.
There was an evil and cruel smile on his lips, and the deviant sword in his hand made a roaring sound of friction again, and the three cylindrical blades on the sword began to rotate.
However, Mr. Kim did not attack Saber. Instead, he aimed this ground-breaking sword at the gate of Ryudong Temple, or to be precise, at the Small Holy Grail in the courtyard behind the gate.
He looked cold and threatened in a very domineering manner:
"Saber, throw down your sword now and become my wife, otherwise you will never get the Holy Grail!"
Artoria's expression suddenly changed, and she hurried from one side to the entrance of Liudong Temple regardless of the pain on her body.
She held the invisible Holy Sword, blocking the path of the Sword of Disobedience aimed at the Little Holy Grail, and asked loudly:
"Archer, are you crazy? You want to destroy the Holy Grail!"
She didn't expect that the other party would be so crazy as to take action against the Holy Grail in order to threaten her. Now there was only the last step left, and she didn't want to give up no matter what.
"I don't care about this thing." Jin Shining's eyes were extremely joking, and he pointed the deviant sword at her who looked anxious, "Saber, you can't stop my attack at all. My patience is limited. In the end, I I’ll give you another chance, think about it!”
"I refuse!" Saber gritted her teeth and looked at him.
Not to mention that she had no intention of being someone else's woman. Even if she wanted to get married, she would rather marry that ungrateful guy than choose a villain like Archer.
Jin Shining Shining completely lost her patience after her marriage proposal was repeatedly rejected.
He raised the sword Ea again. The cylinder on the sword rotated faster than the blunt blade, and the red wind pressure formed almost tore the surrounding space apart!
This scene made Artoria feel a little desperate.
This time she didn't hesitate. She placed her left thumb on the black ring on her index finger and pressed it hard!
To be honest, she didn't think Wuming's "trump card" would be of any use against the Noble Phantasm in the King of Heroes' hands that was even more powerful than the Holy Sword Excalibur.
Click~
With a crisp sound, the black space ring in his hand cracked, and a mysterious white light emerged from the crack.
"Oh, you took the initiative to crush the ring given by that miscellaneous cultivator. Do you regret it and plan to marry me?"
Stopping the Guili sword in his hand, Mr. Jin had a proud smile on his face, thinking that she was going to "abandon" Wuming and choose him.
However, Saber ignored him at all and just stared at the cracked ring in her hand with a stunned look on her face.
As soon as she came into contact with that familiar light and breath, she was refreshed, the pain in her body quickly disappeared, and her tired muscles regained their vitality.
The ring is broken.
A gorgeous scabbard made of gold and decorated with dazzling blue enamel appeared in front of her. The scabbard was also engraved with long-lost elf writing.
Isn't this just...
The expression on Artoria's face was very astonished, and her emerald eyes gradually widened. She was surprised but also confused at the same time.
Wu Ming is her scabbard...Ahem, no, why is her scabbard at Wu Ming's?
Saber didn't think about the holy relic for a moment. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and reached out to grab Avalon in front of her.
As soon as the scabbard came into contact with the master's magic power, it immediately released a mysterious glow. She put the scabbard into her body, and the injuries on her body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Phew~
The magic whirlwind came out of the body, and the broken silver knight armor took on a new look. A moving look flashed in Saber's eyes, and her face returned to calm.
She raised the holy sword majestically, pointing the sword tip at the King of Heroes: "I will not give up Wuming unless he betrays me first!"
This is an answer to the question the King of Heroes just asked. She means that Wuming is her teammate and she will not abandon him.
But because of the previous exchange, when these words reached Mr. Jin's ears, they had a completely different meaning - she would not give up her relationship with Wu Ming, and would only marry Wu Ming.
"Really?" Gilgamesh's face turned gloomy, "Saber, you are a short-sighted woman. It seems that I was too gentle to you before!"
No wonder Mr. Jin misunderstood, Saber just took out a "Noble Phantasm" from the ring given by Wu Ming, and put it directly into her body... Isn't this a show of affection?
Caster gave Saber a Noble Phantasm, a Noble Phantasm with healing effects, as a trump card for his partner... Wuming was not only showing off his affection, but also showing it off in front of him!
It's quite romantic...ah, that's unreasonable!
Thinking of this, the Hero King's face froze, and his pair of red pupils were filled with terrifying murderous intent.
At this time, he was really tired of Wu Ming. Not only did he repeatedly provoke him, he also dared to steal the woman he liked and admired.
"Archer, don't be too conceited. Do you think you are invincible? Maybe he will kill you!" Saber pointed her sword at the King of Heroes and sneered.
"Oh, you're very confident, but you just got a precious phantom from the ring, and you think you can beat me?"
Jin Xingxing stared at the stubborn woman in front of him, with a cruel smile on his lips. He raised the Disobedient Sword, and waves of red wind pressure raged.
"Archer, your Ea may not be as strong as you think!" King Da Mao's eyes were cold and he shot back without any sign of weakness.
Maybe she can't win, but she won't lose.
Many heroic spirits know the famous holy sword in the hands of the King of Knights, but they may not know the scabbard she once lost, let alone the specific function of the scabbard.
Mr. Jin is no exception. He has limited his omniscient and omnipotent star. He really doesn't know the specific power of that scabbard.
So, he waved the Guili sword in his hand without hesitation. Of course, it was only a small power output. He didn't intend to kill Saber, he just wanted to teach her another lesson.
Boom──! !
Accompanied by a loud thunderclap in the clear sky, the sharp edge that cut the world gently crossed the front, and scarlet whirlwinds tore through the space and strangled Saber.
"Avalon!!"
Saber raised her sword in front of her and let out a sweet cry. The scabbard inside her body broke into hundreds of tiny parts and spread out in the air.
Bang!
The crimson beam of light and the space-rending wind pressure that were enough to cut the world hit the invisible barrier in front of the holy sword until they all collapsed, unable to harm Saber in the slightest.
There was even a gust of wind pressure that bounced back!
This situation was completely unexpected. Caught off guard, Jin Shining didn't even have time to turn his sword to resist.
Boom~
The red whirlwind tore through the earth in an instant, shaking up countless gravel and dust. Mr. Jin jumped up and rolled awkwardly, barely dodging the blow!
After shaking off the dust on his body, Jin Shining stared at Saber intently, his eyes becoming deeper:
"Oh, is this the real Noble Phantasm of the King of Knights?"
There was no longer a playful attitude, and there was finally some caution in his tone.
Saber didn't reply, but just blocked the door of Liudong Temple.
Realizing that the magic power in her body had not yet recovered, she hesitated and did not choose to risk a counterattack.
Avalon can make her invincible, but when she wants to attack others, she must remove this layer of protection first. When the cook... Wuming comes back, the chance of winning should be better.
"Archer, why don't you continue attacking?" Seeing that he stopped attacking, Saber said coldly.
The King of Heroes frowned and put away the Sword of Disobedience. Although he didn't want to admit it, his Ea really couldn't hurt the King of Knights who was in that strange protective state.
It doesn't seem to be a protective shield, or resistance, but a kind of "isolation". No matter how powerful it is, it is useless to be unable to touch it.
"Saber, I don't believe you can stay in this kind of protection forever."
The King of Heroes couldn't help but snorted. Bright golden vortexes appeared behind him, and noble phantoms of different shapes emerged from them, aiming at her one after another.
…………
It took about ten minutes for Kiritsugu to rush back to Ryudou Temple.
He quietly climbed up to a very hidden roof somewhere, and his eyes quietly swept across the collapsed forest in front of the mountain gate, the broken bluestone steps, and the devastated earth.
The situation on the battlefield is even stranger.
In the night sky, hundreds of Noble Phantasms filled with cold light were projected from the golden light wheel behind the King of Heroes, roaring towards Saber.
But she did nothing and just stood there. Those noble phantoms were bounced away one after another, and some of them were even reflected back to the King of Heroes, forcing him to dodge.
"Kariya, how's the situation?"
This scene made Father Kiritsugu a little confused. He asked Kariya next to him in a low voice.
Kariya looked at Kiritsugu, who had a lot of blood on his body, and briefly explained what he had just seen.
"After she got the scabbard, she turned out to be so powerful?"
Father Kiritsugu looked quite surprised as he looked at the King of Knights who remained motionless despite being attacked by hundreds of Noble Phantasms.
He thought that the scabbard only had healing effects, but he never thought that Saber, a pig teammate, could be used in this way.
Without the scabbard, the King of Knights was almost beaten to death by the enemy. After taking the scabbard, he simply turned over and was at a disadvantage against the King of Heroes.
If he had known this was the case, he would have returned the scabbard to Miss Knight Wang, even for reasons of tactics and chance of victory.
Saber: Kiritsugu, you, a pig teammate, have the nerve to say that!
"It seems that I can only defend and cannot counterattack." Kariya explained in a low voice that the roof where he was hiding was in the blind spot of the King of Heroes.
Father Kiritsugu nodded, that was enough. He actually didn't expect Saber to defeat the King of Heroes.
In the field, Shining has already projected hundreds of Noble Phantasms.
Deep craters were created all around, and the flames of the explosion ignited, but Saber in the middle was still unscathed.
Surrounded by the radiance of the Noble Phantasm behind him, Mr. Jin's face was quite gloomy. He really couldn't win over the woman he liked, which undoubtedly made him very embarrassed.
"Saber, you can't get the Holy Grail by hiding in that turtle shell."
"Hmph, are you angry with shame?" Saber snorted coldly upon hearing this.
At this time, in the center of the courtyard of Liudong Temple, the small Holy Grail on the table shook slightly, releasing an incomparably bright brilliance, and a wave of magic power as vast as the ocean rose into the sky.
The Little Chalice was fully formed.
This also means that Rider and Caster have a winner.
The Hero King's expression changed, and Saber's eyes flashed with joy.
Kariya raised his arms a little excitedly and wanted to call Muming back with a command spell, but was stopped by Emiya Kiritsugu.
"What's wrong?" Yan Ye was a little confused.
Father Kiritsugu shook his head and said calmly: "It's not necessary. Saber can hold on, so there's no need to waste a Command Seal."
Outside the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, the King of Heroes stopped attacking Saber, his blood-red eyes filled with violence and cruelty:
"Very good, I can personally punish a more powerful prey. The winner should be that guy Wu Ming."
Saber stared at Archer with cold eyes. She knew that the King of Heroes had been teasing her from the beginning to the end and did not regard her as an opponent at all.
If the magic power in her body had not been restored, she would have tried to kill him even at the risk of being killed by Ea.
"Saber, I will kill that Wu Ming in front of you to let you know who is the most powerful heroic spirit!"
Mr. Jin acted like you have no taste for women, I am the strongest and the best.
"Maybe it's you who died!"
Artoria just snorted, she had had enough of Gilgamesh's extremely conceited appearance.
"Hahaha……"
The arrogant and wanton laughter of the Hero King spread throughout half of the mountain forest. The powerful aura of the demigod heroic spirit made the flying insects and beasts in the forest tremble with fear. His blood-colored pupils stood up, and his cold and domineering voice echoed in the night sky.
"No one is my opponent!"
Not only was Saber stubborn, but Jin Shining sensed that Kirei was also seriously injured.
He was really angry, with murderous intent boiling over him at this moment, and the overwhelming pressure of the Ancient King of Heroes was almost suffocating.
Knowing that he didn't mean anything just now, Saber couldn't help but darken her face and subconsciously tightened her grip on the sword hilt. Kariya and Kiritsugu, who were hiding in Ryudou Temple, also fell silent.
It is indeed difficult to imagine who could defeat such a powerful heroic spirit.
Three minutes later.
The aura that also stood at the pinnacle of heroic spirits came from afar.
A burst of footsteps with a strange rhythm echoed in the night sky. The sound came from far to near. The billowing evil spirit and Wu Tao's murderous intent caused the temperature to drop several degrees.
The King of Heroes looked back.
The slender figure climbed up the steps, with a stern look on his face, his striking white hair dancing in the wind, and his fashionable red coat rustling in the cold wind.
Before the person arrived, the smell of blood and the indifferent gaze like the god of death made the King of Heroes frown. He actually felt a lot of pressure.
Renn walked step by step not far from the King of Heroes.
"Oh, it's you indeed." The corners of the Hero King's mouth raised, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "You are very good at killing Rider. You are qualified to fight with me!"
Renn also showed a smile and looked at the blood stains on King Da Mao's body and the devastated ground:
"You are not bad, you are qualified to fight me!"
This arrogant guy is really getting more and more annoying the more I see him.
This thought flashed through my mind, and the next second, the two people who were smiling before almost fell out at the same time.
They stared at each other with sharp eyes like blades, their dark pupils and blood-red eyes filled with cold murderous intent. The substantial pressure and vast magical aura between them made even the cold wind repel!
The power of the god is like a prison, and the killing intent is boiling.
Looking at the two people who were facing each other tit for tat, Saber's expression was very solemn. These two guys were really terrifying, and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary servants.
Her lips moved slightly, but she still chose silence. Father Kiritsugu and Kariya also held their breath.
The King of Heroes stood tall and proud with his arms folded on his chest, and the bloodthirsty and cruel smile on his lips made people shudder.
"Wu Ming, I think you are going to die!"
"Sorry, I'm stronger now!" Ren's eyes were indifferent and he sneered with disdain.
His eyes were extremely cold, and he stretched out his palm to make an invitation to Gilgamesh:
"King of Heroes, please hit the road!"
