Skadi, returning to infinity

After checking on her, they found that Skadi had only fainted, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did she faint...? That's alright..."

With a sigh of relief, Ali turned her gaze to Artoria.

"Is this Miss Saber? Her Majesty needs to rest. Could you please step outside for a moment?"

"If you want to stay here, I'll arrange a room for you to rest."

"If there's anything you want to do, we can talk about it after His Majesty has rested."

Ah Li was subtly trying to get rid of the guest. Of course, she wasn't trying to kick Artoria out, but she just didn't want her to stay there.

"I'll wait until she recovers."

The one who provided her with magic was Irisviel, and Kiritsugu Emiya could only use a Command Spell to get her back.

So she wasn't worried about that.

She will stay here until she gets a reply.

Moreover, besides Skadi, there is another matter to be resolved—the Black Knight Lancelot.

Why is he here, and why does he hate me so much?

Has he still not let go of what happened back then?

"What happened back then..."

I settled into the room arranged by Ali, went into the bathroom, and stood under the shower.

The warm water spraying from the showerhead helped Artoria regain some of her composure.

The image of the Black Knight was still vivid in her mind.

She didn't know the Black Knight's true identity until Skadi's words "Lancelot" completely exposed him.

This also gave Artoria an even bigger question...

Why is Lancelot here? Is he still hung up on the past?

Saber was speechless when she thought about it.

Let alone Lancelot, haven't I also struggled to let go of what happened in the past?

If she had let go of what happened in the past, she wouldn't be like this now.

"...So, how was Skadi able to stop Lancelot, who is a Berserker? Isn't her Servant Caster?"

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those emotions.

Artoria also became curious about something else.

What exactly is the relationship between Skadi and Lancelot?

Chapter 88: A Heart-to-Heart Talk: The Person I Like Is So Outstanding.

What is your purpose in coming here?

As Saber emerged from the bathroom, wearing only a towel, she saw Medea sitting by the window.

"I want an answer."

Saber glanced at her, gave a reply, and then sat back down on the bed.

"The answer? You are still a servant of another Master."

"I don't believe you don't have ulterior motives."

Medea no longer wants anyone to hurt Skadi.

As Skadi risked her life to save herself from that incredibly powerful magician, and gently whispered "It's alright" in her ear,

She has found the reason why she participated in this Holy Grail War.

She wanted happiness, and that happiness was being by Skadi's side.

Therefore, Medea will never let anyone who dares to harm her get away with it.

If Skadi hadn't said she was leaving earlier, she would have rushed over and fought Kiritsugu Emiya to the death.

Now, Kiritsugu Emiya's servant has arrived here, and she doesn't believe that the servant of that despicable person could have any righteous purpose.

"I just came to her seeking an answer."

Saber gave the same answer, without even looking at her, and after taking off her towel in bed, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

"..Hello?"

Medea was furious to see her like this.

Medea.

A soft call calmed Medea's anger.

She looked at Ali at the door, bit her lower lip, then flipped over and fell out of the window, leaving the place.

"I'm sorry, Medea is in a bad mood."

"But she's not a bad person."

Ah Li looked at Artoria, who had opened her eyes, and said softly.

"I know she meant no harm."

"I just don't know how to say this."

We can only wait for her answer.

Kiritsugu Emiya did not order himself to return, nor did he use a Command Spell to leave.

Saber suspected the other party had some ulterior motive, but she desperately wanted to know the answer, so...

"Don't worry, my lord is very powerful."

"Don't worry about her."

Ah Li spoke as if she already knew Skadi's secrets.

"Can you tell me what kind of person she is?"

She sat up, covered herself with the blanket, and looked out the window.

"I find it hard to imagine that, under such dangerous circumstances, someone who has no connection with another person would sacrifice themselves for someone else."

"Such heroes have been common throughout history, but I can't find them in this world."

"And many heroes have their own unique growth experiences; she looks only eighteen years old, right?"

"Why is she able to do that...?"

I want to know...

Has Artoria never seen a hero before?

That's naturally impossible.

But Skadi was different. Given her age, her status, and the overwhelming power she faced—a force akin to a natural disaster—how did she manage to remain completely unfazed?

To yield, or even to win in battle?

Compared to her, the other Masters who participated in the Holy Grail War were like ruthless machines.

They stop at nothing to achieve victory and never care whether the weak can survive.

If only she were my Master...

The thought suddenly flashed through her mind, but Artoria shook her head and dismissed it.

"My lord is a very simple person..."

Ali walked to the chair next to the bedside table, sat down, placed her hands on her thighs, and softly spoke about Skadi.

Meanwhile, in the secret meeting room of the Extreme Adventurers' castle within the Gods' Space, the lamp connected to Dio suddenly went out and shattered.

"Dio...is dead."

Aizen sat in the hall, also waiting for information.

When news of Dio's death arrived, he looked up at the people around him and said these words.

"According to you, the enemy you encountered was a top-tier existence among SS-rank beings."

"If it's one by one—you can all be dealt with, and no one can defeat her."

"That's why you were able to escape using the power of the team contract when she opened the [Zetsu Zetsumei] barrier against Kibu and Muzan."

"Serving the world."

"It's no surprise that Dio died after being captured by her."

Previously, they didn't know who had kidnapped Dio; it was the SSS-rank member of the team. The real leader told them the answer.

That's why they care a lot about the outcome.

"Dio possesses incomplete Super Saiyan blood."

"Although there are a limited number of uses, and the damage to the body after use is very significant."

"But he will definitely use it to save his life."

"We escaped from a mission world where SS-rank abilities were locked. We paid with our wish power, and apart from not receiving any rewards, the mission was considered complete."

It's done.

"This means that even if Dio is captured and taken back, he will still be able to use all his abilities."

"And he possesses Super Saiyan blood, even if it's incomplete, which can directly elevate his strength to mid-SSS rank."

"This is already one of the top-ranked powerhouses in the [Game of Gods]."

"Correspondingly, because the mission has not yet been completed, the other party will be locked at the SS level."
