I, the heroic substitute, was exposed

Arturia knew that Beimu's actions were very fast, and she would definitely defeat Lancer's master with thunder.

So she has to give [-]% of her strength to deal with Lancer, and she can't let Bei Mu live up to her expectations.

But she didn't know that the so-called battle was a foregone conclusion from the very beginning.

Even if they fight with Diarmuid until daytime, there will only be one winner in the end——Artoria.

At the moment, the two knights are quite enjoying this hard-won fair duel, without the harassment of their respective masters, they only need to focus on each other wholeheartedly.

The battle between swordsmen and cavalry became more and more fierce, and the concrete road was uprooted, exposing the icy permafrost.

The collision of guns and swords was so noisy in this silent night, forming a wonderful rhythm.

Sword light and sword shadow, golden sword energy soared into the sky, piercing the darkness with a sharp wind sound.

"Bang! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions resounded in the air, and countless smoke rose into the air, interweaving into a dense net in midair, covering all the scenes in all directions.

Blood stained the sky, whether it was the blood of the knight king or the spearman.

It doesn't matter anymore, the battle between the two sides has come to an end.

Because we know the root and the bottom, we guard against each other.

Especially since Artoria showed such strength, Diarmuid didn't dare to be distracted.

The more in such a situation, the more able to determine the final outcome.

Although the armor on Artoria's body was not damaged, Diarmuid's spear still directly attacked the flesh.

But she dared not take off the armor.

Diarmuid was also guarding against Artoria's big move.

However, in such a high-intensity battle between the two sides, a crucial issue was overlooked-the supply of magic power.

Diarmuid wasn't worried about this issue at first, because he had two sources of mana supply, one was Kenneth, and the other was Kenneth's fiancée.

And Artoria's magic power supply is only Bei Mu, so it seems that Artoria has an inherent disadvantage.

But Beimu's magic power seemed endless, and just when there was a problem with Diarmuid's magic power supply, Artoria seized this chance.

"flaw!"

"...—!"

Diarmuid looked at the slightly whitish rising sun in the sky, his heart twitched violently, and a large stream of hot blood spurted out.

Lost.

This time, he died dignifiedly for the monarch.

Diarmuid half-kneeled on the ground, barely supporting his broken body with his spear.

"Ahem, I am ashamed of the monarch. I did not bring you the glory of victory. It is my dereliction of duty. It is a pity that I can no longer accompany the monarch."

His vision gradually blurred, Diarmuid looked at the tall building at the end of his life, and then turned into golden particles and dissipated in the air.

Arturia quietly watched Diarmuid disappear, and stood up solemnly.

This is the etiquette for a true knight

, this is a worthy knight.

It wasn't until Diarmuid's aura completely disappeared that Artoria's serious feeling disappeared.

"finished?"

Irisviel trotted over, looked at Artoria who had changed into casual clothes, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, the battle is over, everything is over."

"That's good, my dear, it's over."

Irisviel was relieved.

After the battle just now, she was allowed to leave that narrow circle.

Hearing the sound of fierce fighting outside, he was attracted to watch and witnessed a gorgeous battle.

On the tall building, where the two women could not see, Bei Mu said to the two behind him:

"The contract has been signed, you can leave now."

After the battle, in order not to avoid unnecessary disasters, Bei Mu forced the two to sign a magic contract, following the oldest contract.

In this way, you will not be afraid of the other party's repentance.

In fact, even if he repented, it would be a little tricky for Bei Mu, and it was easy to kill the two of them.

[Now there are not many servants left, and I don't know if the assassin is really dead. 】

[The exit of the two servants is a bit brighter than Lancer's exit method. 】

[Come on, the victory in this battle will belong to Artoria! 】

[Gorgeous knight battles, this is what knights yearn for. 】

Looking at her black eyes from the height of her chest, they looked like a pair of gemstones.

That's right - that's the truth, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt it personally again.

This girl is a treasure acquired by the Tohsaka family for five generations, a rare pyroxene equivalent to a miracle.

Tohsaka Rin.

Although she is young, she is destined to be a beauty in the future from the appearance.

Compared with her mother's appearance, she has the shadow of Tokiomi's mother when she was young.

It was evening, and night had not yet fallen.

Arriving at his wife's hometown, Tokiomi in front of the gate of Chan City did not intend to step inside the gate.

The current Tokiomi is one of the Masters who are seeking the Holy Grail, and he has already been in the land of Shura.

In order to protect his wife and daughter, he entrusted them to Chancheng. This territory does not allow bloody invasion.

Rin stared nervously at his father who called him out the door without saying a word.

Father didn't just come to see himself, but came with something very important.The girl intuitively understood this.

He had made up his mind that he would not see his daughter until the battle was over.What shook him was the sudden death of Father Rizheng last night.

The old priest was a good friend of his father, and watched Tokiomi grow up.

Under the secret agreement between the two parties, he was behind supporting Tokiomi.

For Tokiomi, this is the biggest factor that gives him the confidence to win.

Of course, Tokiomi was not the kind of person who would be at a loss if he lost his backing.But it is also an indisputable fact that there has been a dark cloud called "what if" on the road to victory that has been convinced so far.

Just like that experienced and stubborn priest suddenly fell down - his confidence was also weakened by half.

Until yesterday, the situation of the Holy Grail War was almost equal to winning for Tokiomi.

But due to the death of his reliable companion, he is now ready to devote himself to the smoky battlefield as a fighter.

What if... this is the last time he talks to Rin?

What should I say to the young girl in front of me.

"..."

Rin swallowed, staring at her father, waiting for him to speak to her.

Tokiomi knew that his daughter had respect and admiration for himself as a father.

He knew that what he said to his daughter today would definitely determine Rin's future path in the future.

No - there is no doubt about the future, it has already been decided.

Rin has no choice but to take over as the sixth head of the Tohsaka family.

Perhaps it was this thought that made Tokiomi feel a little guilty towards his daughter.

He knelt down and put his hands on Rin's head—at this moment, Rin's eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Tokiomi remembered that he had never stroked his daughter's head like this before.

It's normal for Rin to be surprised, and Tokiomi realized for the first time that he didn't know how to show tenderness to his daughter.

"Rin...before you become an adult, you will help the association, and you will be the one to decide what to do next. If it's you, it's fine to be alone."

He hesitated at first, not knowing what to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he started to talk.

He has thought of many "such as" and there are many things that need to be conveyed.

How to deal with those treasures at home, that is, gems, and the things passed down from the master, the practice of the underground workshop——and so on, Tokiomi grasped the key points, and Rin, who was listening carefully, came one by one.

Although it has not been engraved yet, in fact, Rin has already been designated as the patriarch of the next Tohsaka family.

Say something off topic.

Tosaka Tokiomi is definitely not a genius.

Compared with the previous Tohsaka members, his aptitude can only be regarded as mediocre.

The reason why the current Tokiomi can become a skilled and respected magician is largely because he has faithfully followed the family precepts.

That's why he's always calm and graceful—

want to get

To achieve the "ten" achievement, you must pay "twenty" cultivation.

To pass through any kind of cruel training gracefully and calmly has become Tokiomi's creed.

If he insists on saying what he is better than others, then perhaps the only two things are complete self-discipline and self-denial.

At the same time, as his master and the father of the previous patriarch, he should have fully foreseen the difficult journey his son will take with his ambition of demonic path.

Therefore, when the previous generation handed over the magic seal to Tokiomi, he asked his son again——"Do you want to inherit the family business?"

This kind of question is very ritualized, and it is just a scene.As the legitimate son, Tokiomi received the education of how to be a leader since he was a child.The pride cultivated since he was a child made him have no other dreams in life.

Even so——the method of "questioning" is still needed, that is, Tokiomi still has an incomplete "room for choice".

Thinking about it now, for Tokiomi, this was the greatest gift given to him by his father who was the previous patriarch.

Tohsaka Tokiomi decides to step into the magic way through his own consciousness, determined not to be at the mercy of fate.

It was this realization that gave Tokiomi a steel-like will.

Since then, it is this arrogant conceit that "this is the way of life I chose" that has supported him through the days of harsh cultivation.

If he could also hand over the treasures he got from his father to his daughter - Tokiomi thought sadly.

However, this is no longer possible.

For Rin and Sakura, they had no choice from the beginning.

One of them is full element, five-fold compound attribute, and the other is overhead element, imaginary number attribute.

Both of these sisters have rare aptitudes that are equivalent to miracles.

This has gone beyond the scope of the so-called innate talent, almost equivalent to a spell.

Demonic nature also invites demonic nature.

Standouts who are far from outside the box are bound to "invite" similarly anomalous experiences.

This is beyond the control of his own will.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of fate - consciously get out of order.

Tokiomi's daughters had no other way to deal with the demon nature hidden in their blood except to understand the way of magic and practice it themselves.

And the protection of the Tohsaka family can only be given to one of them, this fact has tormented Tokiomi for a long time.

A person who does not become an heir will be involved in various weird incidents because of his own blood, and will get angry.

If the Association of Magic discovers this kind of "ordinary person", those guys will be happy to soak her in formalin as a specimen in the name of protection.
