Kenneth's plan began in the evening.
After experimenting,
Su Yu's teleportation ability couldn't bring other living people, so Kenneth still needed to find a vehicle to move there by himself.
Because tonight's operation might be dangerous,
He didn't bring his fiancée, but Thora didn't seem to be interested in the Holy Grail War. She seemed to be happier that she didn't have to participate in the operation.
They first came to the vicinity of Einsteinberg Castle. There was a dense pine forest here, and the scenery when it snowed would be beautiful. Su Yu found a corner covered by branches and began to slack off.
As if expecting her to be idle, the phone in her arms vibrated. It was an email from Akaji.
He said that the Heroic Sports Festival was in a few days and asked if she wanted to come and play.
"Sports Festival …" Su Yu touched her chin. "If it's the Sports Festival, Akaji Jun really knows how to play basketball. It's a pity that the other people from the Miracle Generation are not around."
If it was Akaji leading other people she didn't know to play basketball, she didn't want to watch it. It was as if something important had been replaced.
But then Akaji's second email said that he also invited his teammates from junior high.
At that time, everyone could get together a little.
Su Yu's eyes lit up.
She immediately replied and agreed. After making an appointment with Akaji,
She closed her phone.
She showed a nostalgic smile at the dark screen.
It was like revisiting an old place and an old friend visiting again.
In the past, she had never had such an opportunity, so in a sense, she was looking forward to meeting again.
The waiting time in the dark seemed to be extraordinarily long. After an unknown amount of time, a strange sound suddenly came from the jungle not far away. Su Yu straightened up and looked over, just in time to see a figure slowly moving forward with a large group of children.
The figure was stooped, and it was impossible to see his true appearance in the dark forest. He wore a strange robe that almost blended in with the shadows of the trees. His exposed hands were withered and ferocious, just like the legendary devil's claws.
The children he brought along all had confused expressions on their faces, as if they had been bewitched by some kind of hypnotism. Like a group of unconscious sheep, they were brought into the dark forest.
Su Yu held her breath and observed for a while before she was sure that it was Caster, but she didn't take any action. Instead, she sat back in her original position, took out her mobile phone, sent an email to Kenneth, and watched the group of children step by step into the depths of the jungle.
Although defeating Caster sounded like getting rid of evil, Su Yu didn't want Kenneth to get the reward at all.
She even mischievously thought that if she insisted on using her phone to contact Kenneth, he would be so mad that he would waste two more command spells to summon her over. In that case, there would be nothing that could command her to do anything.
As for the group of children that Caster took away, it was probably a means to threaten Saber. Since it was related to Saber, it had nothing to do with her.
Before Kenneth arrived, she just had to slack off and pretend that she didn't exist.
— — —
Not long after Caster left, Kenneth came late, holding the new mobile phone, his face was gloomy and angry.
"Since you met Caster, why didn't you follow him?" Even if he was angry, the genius from a magic family didn't forget his etiquette, "I told you to bring your familiar, this kind of garbage trick won't work at all!"
Su Yu suddenly thought of Gilgamesh's' bastard ', she couldn't help but purse her lips, restraining her smile, "It was obviously a very timely way to contact him, but you didn't check it in time, so you missed the important news."
"And I don't have the flow of magic in my body, this is my advantage, it's easy to expose my whereabouts with my familiar."
She spoke so confidently that Kenneth couldn't say anything else. He tightened his grip on the phone and loosened it. In the end, he compromised and put the phone back into his pocket. "Forget it. We'll just look for him after we lose track of him. Once he gets into a conflict with Saber, it'll definitely cause quite a commotion. We'll act according to plan then."
After that, he waved his hand and took the lead to enter the jungle, which was shrouded in the Einzbellen family's fortifications. As long as he stepped into that range, he would be detected by the other side.
But Kenneth's original intention was to come to their door and slap them, so how could he be afraid of exposing his whereabouts?
Su Yu shrugged her shoulders and lifted her feet to follow him.
— — —
When Caster and Saber fought, it really caused a lot of trouble. The corner of the jungle was like a giant beast that woke up in the night, making a sound that was difficult to ignore.
When Su Yu arrived, the beautiful girl with light blonde hair in armor was entangled by an octopus-like thing that emerged from the ground. She struggled hard, but the invisible sword in her hand could only play a little role, and the tentacles that bound her were getting more and more.
Su Yu stood in the same place for a moment, only to feel a rusty smell lingering at the tip of her nose. Her attention was first attracted by the girl suspected to be Saber, and then she noticed the purgatory-like scene around her.
As far as her eyes could see, there was blood and broken limbs everywhere. They belonged to the group of children who had been hypnotized. She had seen every broken body before. Not long ago, they were still whole, or at least alive, and they had walked past her.
The familiar scene made Su Yu suddenly shocked, and at the same time, her breathing became unstable. Caster, who was holding a heavy book, suddenly turned around and saw the girl standing under the tree. He made a hoarse and unpleasant scream: "It's really surprising, there is a little guest waiting to join our banquet in such a close distance."
Su Yu didn't have the slightest magic flow in her body, he only thought that the girl standing there was an ordinary seventeen or eighteen years old girl.
He waved his hand, and several equally disgusting tentacles grew out from the ground and attacked the girl standing in the same place.
"Caster, stop!!" The blonde girl shouted, her pair of green eyes were burning with anger.
But the dazzling brilliance in the girl's eyes didn't deter the devil-like man, instead, it made him look more excited: "Oh Jeanne d 'Arc, my beautiful Saintess, your angry posture is so sacred and charming, even in the swamp of despair, you are not affected at all …"
But Su Yu didn't pay attention to the words of the two people present, her eyes were staring at the book in his hand and the broken limbs on the ground. In a trance, she seemed to see the man again.
'If you want to save people so much, it's better to try it yourself.'
'… I'm curious, why do you show such a strong desire?'
'What exactly do you really want?'
Why didn't you choose to stop the tragedy from happening in the first place?
What was her answer to him?
"Fate …" She murmured subconsciously.
She stood on the side of fate.
So when she first saw Caster with those children, she knew that something bad would happen if she let him go, but because it was not her influence, it had nothing to do with her, so she chose to be a bystander.
But who was the one who had caused this hellish scene in front of them?
She didn't kill people, was she kind?
She couldn't accept the slaughter in front of her, but what did she do?
Was there a difference between a bystander and a murderer?
What is fate? What is kindness? What is the path under my feet? What is the real boundary between action and inaction?
She shouldn't have interfered with the direction of fate. She shouldn't have allowed evil to happen. It turned out that the contradiction in her words and actions was already so obvious. Then what kind of path had she been walking on? She thought that she had been moving in the right direction, but was this path really the right one?
The tentacles with disgusting suckers touched her exposed calves and soon tightly wrapped around her knees. Su Yu pursed her lips tightly, she couldn't make a sound. Her ears were filled with Saber's anxious shout and Caster's harsh laughter.
She just stared blankly at the corpses of the children.
'Are you sad for them?'
In a trance, the man's voice sounded like a sigh behind her. Her whole body's senses seemed to be suddenly magnified dozens of times, even the man's breath seemed to be gradually approaching her.
Was she sad because of their tragic death, or because of her own inaction again?
No matter if it was in the past or now, she had always believed herself to be infallible and virtuous. She rejected the pure evil in that person and claimed that she was a different existence from him. But in reality, was her sadness really because she felt sorry for her life?
What she felt was not sadness, but a sense of panic as if she had done something wrong, so much so that she regretted it. But who was she looking for? Who else could tell her whether it was right or wrong?
Su Yu almost fell into some kind of illusion. The man seemed to be standing behind her, never left, never went far. As long as she took a step back, she could fall into the familiar arms, and it didn't matter whether what she did was right or wrong.
He seemed to be still saying something.
But her ears were full of sharp laughter, and the tentacles on the ground rubbed against each other, making a disgusting and sticky sound.
There was a cacophony of noises everywhere, and there was chaos everywhere.
"It's noisy …"
It was so noisy that she couldn't hear what he was saying.
"It's noisy … Shut up …"
He must be saying 'let's go home.'
Two dark blades, one long and one short, suddenly appeared in the hands of the girl. In just a moment, the figure that was still entangled by the tentacles disappeared.
Saber, who was still worried about her, suddenly froze, but before she could react, she caught a glimpse of a figure that suddenly appeared behind Caster from the corner of her eyes …
"It's so noisy …" The Black Blade in her hand didn't even reflect a trace of extra light. It was as if the blade had a continuous darkness. She quickly slashed Caster's neck, "It's so noisy that I can't hear anything!"
"Shua shua shua shua —"
The last sound was the sound of Caster's head falling to the ground. His terrifying face still had a crazy smile on his face. Saber's long sword was inserted straight into the ground and pierced his head from his big mouth.
He couldn't laugh anymore.
Without the supply of magic, the raging tentacles on the ground gradually disappeared. Caster's body fell to the ground. His body was obviously condensed by magic, but warm blood was gushing out of his body. After a while, his body and head turned into golden magic particles.
Saber stood in the same place. Although she was free from the tentacles, she still clenched the sword in her hand and didn't dare to relax.
There was no other reason, at that moment, the killing intent of the girl in front of her was really a bit scary. The cruel means and the elusive figure made her unable to believe that the person in front of her was an ordinary teenage girl, although there was no trace of magic flow in her body.
And she seemed to be mentally unstable. Although at the beginning, when she saw the bodies of the children, she was really shocked, but the girl with the two swords seemed to be more irritated.
With her instantaneous movement, even if Caster understood her attack pattern, he probably wouldn't be able to react in time. If they really fought, she was afraid that the outcome would be different.
The scene was a bit frozen for a while. After waiting for a long time, Saber didn't see the girl's next move, so she cautiously moved.
'Whoosh!'
The pitch-black longsword was instantly pointed in her direction. The young girl with shoulder-length black hair turned her head to the side, revealing half of her exquisite face. Under the moonlight, the contrast between her slightly pale face and her pitch-black eyes added a hint of coldness to her youthful face.
Even if she was an enemy for the time being, Saber couldn't help but make a sound of admiration in her heart.
"You judge," her sword was firmly pointed at Saber not far away. Her voice was very steady, but it was as if she was whispering to someone, "You tell me, is this right or wrong?"
Looking at her eyes, Saber suddenly felt that the person she wanted to ask was actually not the girl in front of her.
But she still took a deep breath and said, "Caster's behavior was too cruel, he hurt many innocent lives. His death was deserved, you saved many people."
That was not wrong.
After hearing her words, the girl in front of her seemed to sigh in relief. However, her expression was still as stiff as a mask. The tip of her sword slowly lowered and finally touched the ground. "Is that so … Then let's just leave it at that."
She seemed to have regained her composure, and her tense back gradually relaxed. Seeing this, Saber put away her weapon and said to her, "Your Excellency's moves were very impressive. I wonder why you're here at this time?"
It would have been fine if she was just an ordinary girl, but she had such amazing abilities, and she just so happened to be here at this time. Saber couldn't help but feel suspicious. But no matter what, the girl had extended a helping hand to her, so Saber chose to be polite to her.
"Ah, can't you tell, Saber?" The girl who had regained her composure smiled quietly. She was obviously a very beautiful person, but when put together with the blood on the ground, she looked a little strange. "I'm here to kill you, for the sake of the Holy Grail."
With that, she chuckled again, as if she felt that her words were funny.
Hearing this, Saber suddenly raised her sword again, and a look of vigilance appeared on her face, "So that's the case, then are you a master or a Heroic spirit?"
She was obviously an ordinary person without the slightest magic flow, and there was no trace of a command seal on her hand.
"If you must say, then it's Heroic spirit," Su Yu looked at her calmly, there was no murderous look between her eyebrows, as if the threat just now was not said by her, "Putting on such a posture, are you trying to block my attack, Saber?"
Her tone was a bit strange, and Saber could not help but nervously clench the hilt of her sword, but the next second, the girl in front of her suddenly disappeared!
Her voice sounded behind her.
"You can't stop me like this."
“！！”
Saber suddenly turned around and jumped a few steps, the sword in her hand swept toward the girl's position, but she still missed.
Too fast!
"I told you not to hide, it's useless." Her voice sounded behind her again, and this time, it was as if she was right next to her ear.
Saber quickly rolled forward, distancing herself from the girl, and leaned her back against a tree, and the girl instantly disappeared from her position.
As far as the eye could see, there was only a pitch-black forest, and there was no trace of the girl anywhere.
Where is she?
Where is she?
Saber looked around cautiously, but in the next second, her gaze suddenly froze.
A strand of black hair fell in front of her eyes.
"Ah …"
Saber looked up in surprise, and saw the beautiful girl quietly squatting on the tree trunk. When she saw Saber look up, she tilted her head in a friendly manner.
"You can't hide," Su Yu calmly stated the truth, "As long as I want, I can exist anywhere in this world."
Swoosh!
A pitch-black long sword came slashing down, and Saber quickly raised her sword to block it, but the attack did not come, and the Wind Enchantment shook, and the blade was deflected.
Huh?
Just as Saber was stunned, the girl's other hand suddenly slashed down with the short sword, and the speed was faster than the long sword.
"I forgot that heroic spirits can't be considered as real existences, right?"
In the end, Saber heard the girl's words, as if she had suddenly realized something.
The dagger didn't seem to be restricted in any way. It easily passed through the Wind King's Enchantment, passed through the Holy Sword, and easily pierced through her body.
"Wait, wait …"
Was it going to end like this? But her wish, her country, her people …
Her eyes widened in fear, and she only had time to let out a low cry before her consciousness sank into the darkness, leaving only her body spraying out large amounts of blood, watering this foreign land.
Watching the blood splatter everywhere, and the blonde girl's figure gradually dissipating into golden dust, Su Yu jumped down from the tree, and looked thoughtfully at the short sword in her left hand.
"… You tell me."
"Is this right or wrong …"
