One of the basic laws of the mysterious world: mystery will become ineffective in the face of a more powerful mystery.
The second basic law of the mysterious world - the older things are, the more mysterious they are, and the oldest are often regarded as the origin and possess the highest level of mystery.
The oldest poisoner, Semiramis, possesses the highest mystery of the concept of "poison". If there is no mystery of the same level or higher to counter it, any existence that encounters Semiramis will only end up being poisoned to death, even Altria, who has accumulated 1,500 years of experience, is no exception - unless she has the lost scabbard "Utopia of Seclusion from the World" to protect her.
However, this is not the world where Shinji lives. The scabbard of this world has long been missing. Without the scabbard, King Arthur is no longer invincible.
The situation was completely under Semiramis's control and it was extremely bad.
"Come, tell me your choice."
There seem to be four choices, but in fact, no matter which one you choose, Mordred will die. Even if the combined force of the two Command Spells can really break Semiramis's blockade, Mordred is already heavily poisoned at this time, and he may not last long even if he is rescued.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do
Every second feels incredibly slow - and this feeling of slowness further accelerates my inner anxiety.
Are you going to run away? You must be kidding. I have already abandoned that child, how can I abandon her again
Just as Lion Jie was tortured by his inner anxiety, Mordred's weak and indifferent voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, I may have to stop here."
"What nonsense! I'm just trying to find a solution. Didn't we agree to win?"
"Well, I know, so I'm going to tell you how to win."
"What method?"
"Let father release the holy spear. Just one king can easily defeat them with father's holy spear without releasing it completely."
"but-"
But what can you do? Maybe the Holy Lance can flatten the king's room and kill Semiramis, but what about you
"Now is not the time to say buts, Master. We agreed to win, so we must win. Don't worry, this is not the first time I've died under the Holy Lance. This time, it's enough to drag that vicious woman down with me."
Yes, she died under the Holy Spear during her lifetime. After becoming a Servant and gaining a second life, is she going to repeat the same ending
After the child died, Shizijie felt an urge to cry for the first time.
However, before this impulse could become reality, a voice suddenly appeared in the special channel that was supposed to be for only two people.
"Oh, so that's what you guys think."
The lazy and decadent yet condescending voice belonged to Semiramis, and the telepathic conversation was forcibly invaded.
"you!!!"
The two masters widened their eyes at the same time.
"Don't be so surprised, it's just a simple trick."
Her Majesty the Empress knocked on the armrest of the throne triumphantly, then interrupted her intervention and spoke directly.
"Knight King, your child has just proposed a new option. Let you use the Holy Spear to completely destroy my King's Palace."
"What?" An expression of disbelief appeared on Altria's face.
"Oh, that's a very good suggestion. It's true that the holy spear can destroy my kingdom and my throne, but then your child will..."
"Shut up, you bitch!"
Mordred summoned up a little magic power and shattered part of the chain.
"Father, don't worry about me, release the Holy Lance!"
Altria's hands were shaking, as if the holy spear in her hands weighed a thousand pounds.
Mordred's voice became louder and louder: "Have you forgotten your mission? Aren't you supposed to save the world? This doesn't seem like you at all. You are King Arthur who is always right!!!"
"Well said, very well said."
The whole room was filled with Semiramis's loud laughter.
"I originally thought that the relationship between you two was very bad. It seems that the historical records are wrong again. So, what are you going to do?"
"I...I..."
Altria opened her mouth, unable to pay attention.
"Father!!!" Mordred was anxious.
The lion was also anxious, his teeth were bleeding.
"Well, it seems that you can't make up your mind. There is no other way, so let me help you - you are just entangled in this stupid fish that I caught. In this case, why not just serve this stupid fish directly to the table."
Semiramis said, stretching out her hand and snapping her fingers.
Two silver chains stretched out from the shadows behind. Unlike the chains that bound Mordred, these chains did not have the concept of "poison" attached to them. The tips of the chains were not curved hooks, but straight spikes that emitted a cold light, like the sharpest fangs of a wild beast.
That's right, these two chains are used for direct killing, and the target is Mordred's throat and heart.
The chain shot out at high speed, but was blocked a few dozen centimeters in front of Mordred by the holy spear that was shining with the light of the stars.
At the last moment before the child was about to die, the father finally made the decision to protect the child.
"How stupid."
Semiramis on the throne snorted disdainfully.
"Since you all want to die together, I will grant your wish!"
The next second, Altria's originally healthy face quickly turned pale, and blood, dark blood, oozed from her mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.
She was poisoned.
"Father!!!" Mordred cried out, "Why? Why are you doing this!!!"
"Because I am your father."
Altria turned her head and gave Mordred a gentle smile that the latter had never seen before.
It was at this time that more and more silver chains appeared around the two of them, and under the command of Semiramis, they continued to rush towards them.
"I want to see how long you can hold out."
Artoria held the Holy Spear in one hand and drew out the sword she got from Astolfo with the other, blocking the attacks left and right.
"I attacked you before because I was the King of Britain—"
The pressure on the sword and the gun increased, and my breathing became rapid.
"—The rebellion must be suppressed, but I am no longer the king."
More and more blood flowed out of her seven orifices, and the armor on her shoulders was accidentally broken by the chains, but Altria still did not stop.
"Although your birth was a conspiracy of my sister, you are my child, and this will never change."
The defensive circle gradually shrank and became disorganized, and the silver armor became tattered.
"Father, go, go quickly." Mordred shed tears.
"Master and Miss Lingxia have both told me that as parents, we must fulfill our parental responsibilities."
The armor woven with magic power was completely shattered, and the holy spear fell to the ground. Artoria had been tortured by poison and chains to the point of being at the end of her rope.
"I'm not a good father, but at least I have to protect my children—"
"Please, Father, leave me alone."
Mordred begged, but Artoria still did not retreat. It was at this moment that the silver chain pierced through the sword and then pierced Artoria's chest.
"Father!!!"
"As a father, how can you let your child die in front of your eyes?"
Blood gushed out, and body temperature, strength, and consciousness were all drained away as the body disintegrated.
Artoria turned around again, stretched out her hand to the child who was close to her, and touched the child's cheek.
"Come to think of it, I've never seen you so closely or touched your face before. Don't cry or be sad, because you hate me the most."
Mordred burst into tears and shook his head.
"No, no, I, I like my father the most."
"Is that so? Let's talk about this next time we meet. Yeah, we'll see each other soon."
The wind blew, and the hand on her face turned into spirit particles and disappeared. Altria's expression did not change until the last moment. It was a father's loving smile to his child.
"Nooooooooooooo!!!"
PS: I want to emphasize that it was the Servant Dai Mao who died, and the main body was fine. Don't say it was abusive, this death was worth it, how could Mo Zai ever be tsundere with his father again? Of course, Dai Mao will not leave the stage, just as Dai Mao said. Don't worry, next it's Type-Moon's turn to show what real operation is, so stay tuned for Wang's story.
PS2: By the way, after playing this trick, it will be difficult for Mozai to object to Erye being the second father (mother) in the future. Of course, Morgan will definitely object, and the Round Table chefs will probably object as well.
