Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[His spirit core was on the verge of shattering; he was like a leaky bucket, it was a miracle he hadn't disappeared.]

[It must be because of the Time-Space Garden that she was able to continue.]

Chapter 315 Sieg vs. Amakusa Shiro

Mordred: "Tch, you're quite tenacious, aren't you?"

Empress: "You're not the only one in this world with a strong will."

Rin Tohsaka: "Old, weak, sick, and disabled, you really have a complete and well-rounded group."

Webber: "With this lineup, it's no wonder that Afu won in the end."

Amakusa Shiro: "Assassin..."

Semiramis: "Fool, stop dawdling and use a Command Spell on me!"

[Amakusa Shiro: "By Command Spell, my Assassin, use your power to bind the Black Rider!"]

He was smart; he didn't issue any orders like defeating Afu, which is now unrealistic.

What he needs to do now is stall for time.

At the same time, he also wanted to know why she insisted on the same thing as him.

However, the most important thing now is to kill that android.

But we don't need to wait for him to make a move.

Sieg settled Leticia at a distance, then turned back and approached her step by step.

His eyes held clear hostility and an indescribable coldness.

"I hold no grudge against you."

"But I have it."

Having lost Siegfried's powers, Siegfried now faces a challenge against the heavily injured Amakusa Shirou.

Webber: "Command Spells, huh? Astolfo probably won't be able to get away for a while now."

Kenneth: "This kid actually wants to take on Amakusa Shiro one-on-one. How foolish. Just because he defeated Karna, does he not see his own strength?"

Karna: "No, I can tell he is very aware of his own strength."

Siegfried: "That's right. There are some things that we shouldn't do just because we don't have the ability."

"Android, aren't you going to surrender?"

"Even if I surrender, the outcome won't change; I'll still be killed by you."

"...If you surrender, I will spare your life. You are no longer a threat; torturing a creature driven to its death would haunt me. But of course, I must ask you to make that Servant disappear."

"I cannot allow you to kill Rider; that would be tantamount to the death of my very being. And even without Rider, I have already chosen to engage in battle."

"You are no longer the Saber Siegfried of the Black side."

"On the way here, many Servants and Masters were defeated and died, whether they were enemies or allies; everyone threw themselves into battle and ended their lives. Therefore, I also decided not to run away from the fight."

Sieg touched the spot where the Command Seals had been removed, leaving only black scars, and said firmly, "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, I wish to fight you for the Holy Grail."

Amakusa Shiro's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "I understand... Please come over here. You'll be less able to act over there because you'll have to consider her feelings."

To avoid affecting Leticia, they went directly beneath the Greater Grail, the stage for the final duel.

The two faced each other, their killing intent piercing their skin like sharp needles.

[Amakusa Shiro: "I, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, will face you with this Miike Norita."]

【"..."】

Sieg didn't know what to say, so he silently drew the sword Afu had given him and assumed a fighting stance.

"No! Run! I said run!"

[Afu tried to stop him, but the chains, imbued with the Command Spell, prevented him from breaking free for the time being.]

Weber: "Sieg is doing this not only for himself, but also to fulfill Joan of Arc's wish."

Joan of Arc: "This behavior is really too reckless."

Zieg: "But we still have to do it, don't we?"

Zig: "Besides, even if I don't make a move, they won't let me go, will they?"

Joan of Arc: "..."

Yes, they were powerless to kill Astolfo, but they could kill Sieg, his Master, to indirectly force Astolfo to exit the game.

This battle was unavoidable from the very beginning.

To be honest, Sieg's chances of winning this battle are really slim.

Even though Amakusa Shirou lost an arm and was severely injured, he was still a Servant, while Siegfried, having lost Siegfried's power, was merely a weak homunculus.

Even so, he did not back down in the slightest.

Joan of Arc risked her life, and that was enough to make him risk his life as well.

My body suddenly felt incredibly hot, and my heart was pounding like a machine; this was my only hope now.

"The winner of this battle will take everything. So that's how it is; it certainly has the feel of a Holy Grail War ending!"

A one-armed Servant who has lived for sixty years battles a homunculus born less than a month ago.

[Battle begins!]

Webber: "This is the real final battle."

Amakusa Shiro: "The outcome of this battle is already decided, unless something unexpected happens again."

He wouldn't be surprised if something unexpected happened again. After all, there had already been too many twists and turns in this Holy Grail War.

Sieg desperately tried to recall Siegfried's fighting style. If he could imitate even 30%, no, 20%, it would be enough for a fight.

Unfortunately, he was too naive.

"Homunculus, don't look down on me just because I only have one arm. My real name is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and I've never wanted to walk through a battleground this badly before!"

[Sieg's sword strike was easily blocked by Amakusa Shiro with one hand, followed by a shoulder bump that sent him flying, and a long sword slashed straight down.]

[His chest was slashed open; the sharp pain filled Sieg with fear, but he suppressed it and continued to fight.]

The powerful slash was easily dodged; Amakusa Shiro circled behind Sieg and kicked him in the face.

[Sieg's consciousness began to fade, and Amakusa Shiro seized the opportunity to thrust his sword through his abdomen.]

He has done his best.

In terms of speed, strength, and physical abilities, he was far inferior to his opponent.

Lion Jie Li: "As expected, the gap between the two sides is too great."

Serenika: "Heh..."

Afu: "Go for it, Zig!"

【"Hahaha--"】

Despite the deteriorating situation, Sieg did not back down and continued to fight.

This is a battle for survival, a battle to master something unknown, and a battle to understand one's own heart afterward.

However, it was of no use.

[Amakusa Shiro deflected Sieg's slash and instead aimed his sword at Sieg's neck. Sieg hurriedly raised his sword to parry, but failed to block it completely.]

His cheek was completely slashed open, leaving a deep wound.

Even so, Sieg continued fighting.

Afu: "Yes, that's it! Keep it up!"

Gold: "This kid looks like he could fall down at any moment, yet he can still keep swinging his sword."

Kenneth: "...No, something's not right with this kid."

Amakusa Shiro gradually sensed that something was amiss.

Although I was using only one hand, I had been dominating my opponent from the start of the fight; the skill gap between us was too large.

He was certain he hadn't held back at all, but—why just couldn't he defeat him?!

Was it anxiety that caused him to make a mistake? — No, absolutely not.

[So that's why they were carrying the Shroud of Remains.]

The Shroud of Relic was created after Joan of Arc was enchanted; it can automatically heal the holder.

No, ultimately, that Shroud of Remains is merely a Mystic Code; it shouldn't possess power comparable to a C-rank Noble Phantasm.

So, did he already possess magical talent? Did this talent blossom during his continuous battles?

Kenneth: "What's wrong with this? Damn it, I can't see it just by looking at it through the screen."

Webber: "I have a feeling that this isn't the kind of power a homunculus should have."

Kenneth: "Yes! That's it!"
