With the rupture of his meridians, Geki Munichiro slowly fell to the ground. Midea held his body and fell to the ground together. Looking at his eyes that gradually lost vitality, she was already full of tears.
"Munichiro -sama, why …"
She never thought that Geki Muneichiro would not die from Semiramis's poison, nor did he die in battle, but instead end his life in this way. There was nothing more painful than seeing one's lover die in front of one's eyes.
And at the moment of death, Geki Munichiro's expression finally changed a little. His mouth was slightly raised as if he was smiling, and even his eyes looking at Midea softened a little.
"That's enough, Caster …"
Yes, that's enough.
For Geki Soichiro, he had never felt alive. He was like a machine operating according to the instructions of the organization. Because of this, he lost the most basic emotions of a human being, absolute rationality, and absolute calmness.
But in his life, he still did two things that were not rational.
The first thing he had to do was to survive.
Originally, as a secret killer trained by the organization, he must commit suicide after completing the mission, but he did not abide by this rule. Instead, he left the organization and came to the far east to live. He didn't know why he did that. Maybe it was because the mission was completed too easily, so he felt that it was not worth spending his whole life to prepare for it, so he wanted to find a reason.
But after living in Fuyuki for a few years, his heart was still empty, he felt nothing, and he couldn't find anything. For others, the world was colorful, but in his eyes, it was lonely and gray.
Until he did the second irrational thing in his life, he helped the injured Midea near Ryutomiji.
A woman of unknown origin, wearing non-modern clothes, lying injured in a dark and damp forest, was very suspicious, and may even be harmed. At least in the education that Geki Soichiro received, there was no benefit in coming into contact with such a woman.
But he still helped her, because at that moment, he found that the world had more colors.
After that, Medea confessed everything to him and asked for his help. He agreed without hesitation and signed the contract as if they were newlyweds on their first night.
After that, he suddenly had a different feeling. For the first time, he felt that he was not a machine, but a living human.
Although he still could not understand what kind of feeling it was, he decided to be loyal to his instincts. If Demetrius chose to fight, he would fight to the end. Other than that, reasons and goals did not matter.
However, the good times didn't last long. Soon, the two were attacked by a mysterious Servant. He was defeated in battle, and the enemy poisoned him to threaten Demetrius. Demetrius chose to surrender, but she still had the will to resist, so he pretended as if nothing had happened and continued to offer his power to her.
As long as Medea still had the will to fight, he would accompany her to the end.
He could accept the act of compromising with the enemy. This was also one of the ways of survival for an assassin. Only by staying alive could there be hope of completing the mission. He could recognize futile struggles and never give up on his prey before his death. This was also the principle of an assassin.
But —
When a woman covered in cuts and bruises chose to compromise for him time and time again, when she continuously challenged an undefeatable enemy in order to let him live, and even used her life as the price, he could no longer remain indifferent. He had dragged down the other party's footsteps and caused the other party to struggle in pain and despair. He couldn't just stand by and watch.
So, he chose the last resort as an assassin.
Only his own death could make her give up.
But this was not a sad thing, because he should have died a long time ago. This life of lingering on death's door, to be able to experience the feeling of being alive in his final moments, to be able to understand the happiness of being loved and falling in love with someone else, this was enough.
Loyal to his feelings, loyal to his heart, loyal to his instincts, and loyal to the love of his life.
With the remaining strength, he raised his remaining hand and held Demetrius's hand with a smile. "So, you don't have to persist anymore … your dream … my wish …"
Clatter!
Before Geaki Soichiro's words were finished, his last breath was exhausted. Patchouli and Ilya did not know what he wanted to express at the end, but Demetrius seemed to understand and nodded with tears streaming down her face.
She was a traitorous witch. First, she betrayed her father and motherland, and then betrayed her husband and children. It seemed that she could not escape the curse of betrayal in her life. She either betrayed others or was betrayed by others, so she was also reviled. Even when she was summoned as a servant, she could not escape this fate.
Her previous master was killed by her own hands.
She pretended to be loyal, deceived him to use the Light Command Spell, and finally killed him.
But if it was not because of helplessness, who would like the taste of betrayal?
What she really longed for in her heart was never betrayal, but a loyal relationship.
Although her meeting with Garki Munichiro was just a coincidence, although this stone-like man had never said a single sweet word to her, only when she was with him did she not feel the curse of betrayal. She also truly understood what she wanted … She wanted to obtain the Holy Grail and live with this man. For this, she would do anything to achieve it!
But she failed. In the end, not only did she not get the Holy Grail, but she even let this man die in front of her.
But she also succeeded, because even until death, she did not betray him. She finally broke the curse of betrayal, dedicated all her loyalty to this love, and walked the last of her life with the man she loved.
Therefore, her wish had indeed come true.
"Woo — —!"
She spat out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on Geaki Soichiro's body. She knew that she did not have much time left, but at this moment, she had no regrets. So she turned her head, revealing her pale face, and looked at Patchouli with relieved eyes. Then, she raised her hand, drew a talisman in the air, gently touched it, and threw it over.
"This is my … last magic," Midea said weakly.
After a little hesitation, Patchouli took the talisman in her hand, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Because the information conveyed by this magic talisman was the map of the Sky Garden!
What was the most troublesome thing for them to invade the Sky Garden? The strength of the enemy was one, but the most important thing was the environment. They did not know the layout of the Sky Garden, did not know where the ambush was, and did not know where the enemy would hide. They could only judge based on their feelings.
Now, Midea gave her the map of the Sky Garden. This was simply the most powerful weapon!
"Why?" Patchouli asked.
Midea smiled, "Although you are my enemies, but … compared to you, I hate that poisonous woman even more. She thought that she could control me, but she didn't know … that I had already memorized this garden. Originally, I planned to cure Soichiro's poison … but now that I don't need it anymore, I'll hand it over to you. After all … I'm a traitorous witch …"
"… Thank you."
"Haha …"
Midea smiled indifferently, then tilted her head and fell on Geaki Soichiro's chest. When Patchouli walked over, her body began to turn into spiritual particles and gradually disappeared.
In the end, only Geaki Soichiro's body was left on the ground.
"Let's go."
After a few silent glances, Patchouli finally retracted her gaze, called out to Ilya, and walked forward.
On the way, Patchouli contacted Tang Hao through the chatroom, and verbally shared the map of the Sky Garden with him.
"There's such a thing?" Tang Hao was greatly surprised after learning about it. It seemed that the empress had simply shot herself in the foot. However, she probably did not expect Midea to be able to kill Patchouli and Hercules. It was more likely that she used Midea as a sacrificial pawn to buy more time.
Midea was ruthless enough to secretly memorize the map and not forget to bite back before her death.
The backlash from the Demoness was not something that just anyone could withstand!
"In that case, we can also determine the location of the Holy Grail, right?"
"Yes, if I'm not wrong, it should be in that back garden."
In the fifth Holy Grail War, the Great Holy Grail had originally appeared in Willow Cave Temple. However, after Tian Cao had joined the fray, the situation had changed. After all, he had taken control of Willow Cave Temple first, and his main objective was to obtain the Holy Grail. The safest place was naturally this garden in the sky.
Therefore, it was already an indisputable fact that the great Holy Grail had been moved to the Sky Garden.
In fact, even the spirit vein of Willow Cave Temple might have been moved here.
After all, to maintain such a large Sky Garden, it was far from enough to rely on one person's magic power. Only with an endless supply of magic power from the spirit vein could it unleash its greatest power.
"Then the next step will be much simpler. We will go directly to the back garden, where Shiro Amakusa should be. If we're lucky, we can even catch them off guard … Oh, by the way, have you informed the others?"
"I have already shared it with Iliya. She is with Ishtar, but I can't do anything about Jiuzuji."
"Yes …"
Tang Hao shook his head helplessly. Magic words couldn't be used in this place, and Youzhu wasn't a member of the chat room, so she couldn't share information with them. There was also Yuji … However, he still had Roman to communicate with Yuji. As long as the spirit particle communication could be used … In short, he would share the map with Roman first.
With this thought in mind, Tang Hao immediately contacted Roman.
As for Youzhu, there was really nothing he could do. He could only pray that she didn't go the wrong way.
Of course, Youzhu might not be able to come.
After all, there was no sign of Aozaki Orange, and it was very likely that the two of them had already fought.
