I'm really not an old sword

Now he is being mocked by NPC?

Angry? Speechless? Amused? Helpless?

Lin Qingsu didn't know what she was feeling.

He silently raised his sword, his body disappeared from the spot, and rushed straight towards the king who was sitting high on countless steps.

...

The cold sword light and golden glow shine.

The Behemoth roared continuously.

The sphinxes that attacked in groups were all immortal with unlimited regeneration abilities, and Ozymandias, the lord of the temple, was even more so!

Breaking through the giant beast's sharp fangs and claws, the Holy Sword of the Star, accompanied by an unstoppable gust of wind, smashed into him.

His chest was sunken and blood seemed to be overflowing, but the next moment, he was back to normal like an old film being played in reverse.

"Useless! Inaction! Strategyless! Nothing worthwhile!"

"I am immortal, and no one can harm me in the slightest."

"You should experience it yourself!"

Countless array patterns appeared, disrupting Lin Qingsu's actions.

The immortal Sphinx in the temple.

Each one holds a mystery and fantasy that rivals that of a Heroic Spirit, and is a magical beast capable of hunting Heroic Spirits on its own.

Facing the attacks and claws that were tantamount to suicide.

Furthermore, the temple was filled with a curse similar to the ancient Egyptian mummy curse—all kinds of toxins that would kill a healthy creature in just two seconds—that eroded his body constantly.

Not only will the ability value decrease, but the already limited magic power will also be continuously drained.

Wounds caused by the monsters began to appear on Lin Qingsu's body.

That was due to the decline in physical strength and ability, coupled with the siege of countless monsters, and perhaps also the excessive pressure and random thoughts like a poor student thinking about letting down his parents and teachers before an exam.

Finally, after a battle that lasted for an unknown amount of time, a light cannon that was countless times thicker than a bucket hit Lin Qingsu's abdomen directly.

'boom! ’

A huge impact force was concentrated in the abdomen.

Penetrate through numerous obstacles.

Lin Qingsu was knocked straight out of the temple, like a kite with a broken string, falling from a hundred meters or even higher in the air to the coastal ground.

'boom! ’

The smoke and dust were thick, and bricks and stones were scattered everywhere.

Lin Qingsu was lying in a deep pit full of cracks, with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Looking at the temple in the sky and the scattered stars.

He didn't get up. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He was gasping for breath and staring at the sky in a daze. His whole body felt like it was being torn apart and he was in so much pain that he didn't want to move at all.

so tired.

Can't beat it.

Although I was very dissatisfied and wanted to find some excuses.

For example, due to insufficient magic power, he could not carry out high-intensity combat for too long even with Saber's battle continuity. In the end, he had to save magic power and not use "Strike Air".

On the contrary, Osmandis relied on the inhumane means of the Ise Sanyi clan to absorb the vitality (magic) of the hospital patients and possessed infinite magic power.

For example, he does not have the Red Dragon Heart or Avalon, and even the Noble Phantasm he carries cannot be used at will, and is not in its prime at all. However, Osmandis directly summons and maintains his Noble Phantasm "The Great Composite Temple of Glory" at the beginning.

But in the final analysis, if you think about it carefully, those are just sophistry. Lin Qingsu had only one idea in the end.

"It hurts too much."

It's just a VR game, but it hurts so much that it makes people want to die. He is obviously just an ordinary person playing games.

give up.

It would be nice to just be killed, then return to reality and celebrate my sixteenth birthday with my adoptive mother. After a few years, when I turn eighteen, I can leave the Clock Tower, become a civil servant, find a beautiful wife, and be an ordinary person.

"Let's just leave it at that."

A meteor streaked across the sky.

That was Arash's bow and arrow, the message they sent to complete their plan as promised.

Lin Qingsu closed her eyes.

He really has no strength left.

So tired and in so much pain.

Saving the world is not my job.

Let's just end it like this.

It is rumored that people can see scenes from their previous lives before they die.

I don't know if dying in the game counts.

Perhaps it was because the game was too realistic, as soon as Lin Qingsu closed her eyes, the previous scene appeared in her vision, which was tinged with some photon particles emitted by the temple.

The unarmed civilians fled in panic.

Prosperous Tokyo was reduced to ruins.

There is also Elsa and Arash's generosity, and her ridiculous but respectable ideals.

Finally, perhaps it was because of the random thoughts she had when she was bored, but Lin Qingsu suddenly seemed to have a God's vision. She thought of the scene of herself walking against the flow of people towards Tokyo Bay, and then she inexplicably thought of the old sword.

With a fervent ideal, he began to fight to save his homeland since he was a child.

Along the way, he experienced numerous obstacles and finally achieved his dream, but was doubted and betrayed by his lover, friends, subordinates and even subjects.

If you think about it carefully, in the end, the old sword will be like the one going against the flow of people.

Alone, not understood by others, the people he cherished left him one after another, he walked silently and arduously to the end but ended up being betrayed by everyone and ended up bleeding to death alone in the forest.

But even so, we will keep moving forward.

'I'm sorry for embarrassing you.'

Lin Qingsu moved her lips, but she really couldn't say such words.

I recalled the frightened faces of the people again.

Thinking back to the old priest's plea with tears and hope, thinking back to Arash and Brunhilde's trust, and finally, thinking back to the faces of Ayaka and Aika and the heartwarming scene of them preparing breakfast together these days.

The motionless knight's fingers moved.

He gripped the hilt of the sword with difficulty but firmness.

"Love song."

Murmuring, the girl's call seemed to ring in her mind, and Lin Qingsu suddenly opened her eyes.

Chapter 3 Starlight (K)

"I see."

Looking at the stray arrow in the sky.

Osmandis completely understood why Lancer and Archer did not appear on the battlefield.

The connection with the Master hiding in Okutama has been severed, and the magic power supplied by the public facilities of the Ise Sanyi clan in various places in the city has become very scarce.

"To attract Yu's attention?"

Looking down at Saber in the deep pit at the edge of the city.

Even though he was a little unhappy, he had to admit that the other party's plan was successful.

But do you think you can stop him just like that?

No matter what, the Holy Grail that will allow him to return and rule again and save the world must be within his grasp, and the evil that lies beneath it must be destroyed.

"Since that's the case, I can only bring this play to a close as soon as possible."

He stepped down from the throne, looking down at the filthy city below, and at the Silver Knight who had been defeated for coming alone to challenge him without knowing his place, and he opened his arms and pronounced the verdict loudly.

"Feel honored, Saber!"

"I will present you the finale of the piece with a brilliance that surpasses divine power!"

"This city will be buried with you!"

"Grant your reward, O lightless one!"

As he pronounced the verdict loudly, the scorching light shone again on the temple.

That was countless times more dazzling than the evaporation of the United States Navy.

The enormous, divinely powerful "Dendera Great Electric Sphere" condensed above the main temple, its dazzling light piercing the sky.

The dark clouds gathered lightning snakes that kept rolling, creating a scene of destruction.

...

"Sister, what are we going to see?"

Ayaka hung her head and tried to stay awake.

'There are must-see sights.'

The elder sister said this, and happily woke her up from her deep sleep and took her to the garden to wait for her.

Ayaka was naturally happy to be so close to her longed-for elder sister, but the hardship was too much for the elementary school student to bear.

"Wait a little longer."

Aige gazed towards Tokyo Bay with a smile.

Think of what you will see soon.

She was so happy, so happy that she wanted to find someone to share her joy the moment she saw it, so she pulled Ayaka over.

"Oh." Ayaka nodded sleepily.

'Love Song.'

Suddenly, such a voice came from the bottom of my heart.

“Saber.”

Aige placed her hand gently on her chest.

"Command Spell".

Under the dress, the wings of the angel's scepter dimmed slightly.

“It’s started.”

Aige said expectantly.

Even the apocalyptic scene of thunder and lightning in the distance couldn't wake Ayaka up, but she managed to pull herself together.

Then the little girl's eyes widened.

Starlight, countless brilliant light particles condensed in the air, attracted by a gravitational force, and flew from behind them to an unknown place in front.

The sisters in the botanical garden are surrounded by endless starlight.

It feels like being in a sea of stars.

The little girl opened her eyes wide, the beautiful scene made her no longer sleepy. She stood on tiptoe and excitedly reached for the stars around her, then raised her head as if she had noticed something and tried to look in the direction of the stars.

That's the direction of Tokyo Bay.

...
