Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Perhaps, in the very end, we'll be able to figure out exactly what we've lost.

This is fundamental to being human; it's an emotion essential for humanity to dominate this world.

Lion Robbery: "..."

Did the protagonist in the original story choose a path to death?

Yes, the family curse and his daughter's death had long made him live like a walking corpse, but he never showed it.

Only during the few days he spent with Xiao Mo did he finally feel like he was somewhat human again.

Mordred: "Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, uh..."

Xiao Mo didn't know what to say.

Having spent these past few days with Lion Robber, she hadn't realized that this guy was actually so indifferent.

No, there were indeed some signs in the first day or two, but she didn't pay attention to them.

"...Yes, that's true. Both that guy and I still have hands that can be extended."

[Lion Robber takes out a pistol-style syringe from his pocket and communicates telepathically with Xiao Mo.]

"Saber, can you hear me?"

There was no response, but there was a sense of connection.

"Don't you want to lose to the red team's Assassin?"

"...You bastard, isn't that obvious?" Xiao Mo reacted.

"So, it doesn't matter if I die because of this?"

"Whatever!"

"Alright—Saber, prepare yourself. If things go smoothly, you can give that Assassin a good whack."

Rin Tohsaka: "What exactly should we do?"

Weber: "Is there some kind of magic potion in that syringe?"

Kenneth: "Is he going to rush in and inject Mordred with the drug? That's suicide..."

Even Hercules couldn't withstand such potent poison; how could a mere mortal like Lion's Claw possibly resist it?

It's said that the chance of winning is less than one percent, but in reality, it's a path with no chance of survival.

[Indoors, Semiramis approached Mordred, a mocking expression on her face.]

"Oh, still holding on? Looks like you have a wish you want to fulfill."

Believing she had victory firmly in her grasp, she no longer paid attention to the telepathic communication.

【"My wish—"

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth and said, "My wish goes without saying, it's your head!"

Then he spat a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood at Semiramis.

Seeing the drool on her face, Semiramis was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and said, "Fine, then I'll turn you and Master into miserable mud dolls together."

【"Bang!!!"】

Just then, something exploded behind Semiramis.

【"Varied--?"】

Semiramis's voice abruptly stopped, clearly startled by something.

"Saber, speak up!"

"Master?"

"Wait for me there."

[Lionjack, unconcerned, stepped into the poison gas, approaching Mordred while simultaneously cocking his shotgun at Semiramis and throwing a Heart Grenade.]

Although he couldn't hurt the opponent, he still managed to force them to retreat, just as he had planned.

[But it really hurts. Even though he had already severed his pain receptors, he could still feel pain. It wasn't the kind of poison that would make Chiron beg for mercy.]

[He focused his mind, took out a pistol-shaped syringe from his pocket, and continued charging towards Xiao Mo.]

[You only get one chance; if you miss, you'll face an incredibly foolish outcome.]

"Rise up, Your Majesty!"

[Lion Claw soon met the same fate as Mordred, losing his other eye as well. However, he still managed to reach Mordred and inject the serum into her body.]

[This is the only way to counteract the Hydra poison. Although it was made hastily, its effectiveness is definitely enough to wake Saber.]

Weber: "Hydra serum? How could there be such a thing?"

Kenneth: "Idiot, have you forgotten? He took the juvenile Hydra from Locke."

Weber: "That's it!"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "What a strange coincidence. Is it some kind of sixth sense?"

Lion's Robbery: "No, I was just thinking that the casualty rate of this mission would be very high, so I planned to make a quick buck. And the most valuable thing in that old guy's office was that bottle of juvenile Hydra."

Lion's Tribulation: "However, it really feels like fate is playing tricks on us."

"Cough, ha!"

Pain surged through Xiao Mo's body, making her feel as if she were about to explode, and she vomited a pool of black blood.

It was so hot; a surge of heat coursed through her body, making her feel like she was boiling.

Semiramis: "This—"

This scene completely startled Semiramis.

Xiao Mo got up from the ground, grinned, and said, "Hi, long time no see."

[The single sword strike signifies her complete resurrection, and she seems no longer affected by the surrounding poisonous gas.]

"You bastard..."

[The plan has changed. The best option now is to retreat. Anyway, Saber's Master has been poisoned and won't live much longer.]

[Even if Mordred is cured of the poison, what good will it do if the Master dies? She'll still die with him.]

Semiramis felt very uncomfortable just looking at Mo's provocative smile.

[Therefore, Semiramis, unusually willful, made a decision against her judgment.]

She wants to have a good match with Xiao Mo.

Mordred: "Heh, I thought you were a woman with absolutely no emotional fluctuations."

Empress: "Hmph!"

Even if she stayed, so what? The previous answers already stated it: Mordred was eliminated, Lion's Robbery died, and she wasn't even in the story. In other words, she survived.

Chapter 306 - Xiao Mo: I'm not going to be king anymore!

Semiramis: "Your smile is annoying!"

A large number of chains were summoned, a full two hundred this time, attacking Xiao Mo from all directions.

"You're the annoying one!"

[Xiao Mo ran and fought back, successfully breaking most of the chains, but three remained, which the opponent used to entangle her.]

This time, Mordred unleashed her "magic power," shattering the chains and charging towards Semiramis at top speed.

Semiramis returned to her throne, summoning divine fish scales to block Mordred, and immediately decided to summon the strongest monster she could summon.

"It's in my way!"

[Xiao Mo shattered the divine fish's scales in an attempt to continue her charge, but in those few seconds of delay, Semiramis's spell was already complete.]

"Fill it up, reveal it!"

[My strongest summon, one of the 11 Tiamat monsters, Bashom, has arrived!]

"Alright, Saber, let me see how miserable you look!"

【"ha."】

Ishtar: "It's Bashum! You human, you can actually summon this thing!"

Although the heroic spirits had seen Semiramis summon Bashium during the battle against Goetia last night, they did not know the other party's identity.

Waver: "I remember, Tiamat's 11 monsters were created by this creator goddess to destroy the gods, right?"

Ishtar: "Yes, he was an enemy of the gods. But after Bashum was defeated by Marduk, he became a benevolent monster and was used to guard the gates."

Ishtar: "Wait, so it's only half a body. I knew it, how could a human possibly summon a being like Bashium completely?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Even half of his body is an extremely terrifying existence."

Weber: "The outcome is truly decided now."

Lion Jie Li: "No, don't jump to conclusions too soon."

Semiramis was too arrogant; her pride blinded her to the differences between now and before.
