I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Artoria was right in front of the white dragon.

A surge of magical energy emanated from her. She gripped her sword tightly—aiming at the white dragon...the white dragon's heart!

Artoria knew very well that the white dragon's heart was located there.

This is not the first time.

Last time she pierced the white dragon's heart with the holy lance; this time, she would use the holy sword in her hand to pierce the heart of this lowly king, ending his life—

"Awaken, Your Majesty! And then—sleep forever!"

"Roar----"

The white dragon struggled, and the rope, which was harder than steel, began to break little by little.

The black dog's mouth was torn.

but--

King Arthur has arrived!

Artoria is charging in!

*Pfft*

The longsword pierced his chest without any resistance—

“InvisibleAir——”

A gust of wind rushed out, leaving a horrifying hole in the white dragon's chest, from which blood flowed to the ground—

The enormous white dragon slowly collapsed to the ground.

slowly.

The white dragon was shrinking, remaining in place, with only the old man, on the verge of death from a pierced chest, left in the pool of blood.

"Heh...heh..." In the final moments of his life, the Holy Grail's binding force on him lessened, and he regained his sanity: "I never thought we'd meet again after becoming Heroic Spirits...my brother, son of Uther...how do you feel? How do you feel about drawing the Holy Sword and ending my life? How do you feel about becoming the King of Britain? What did you save? Do you regret it?"

Artoria said nothing, but her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"Heh...hehe...hahahaha—it was all destined! This is the end...I'm disappearing too—"

"No, you won't disappear." Alucard, now back in his red coat, chuckled. "This Holy Grail War is far from over. You still have to fight... fight in my River of Death—"

"What—?" Artoria's expression changed slightly as she pointed her sword at Alucard: "What are you doing—?"

She clearly saw the old man being swallowed up!

It was swallowed up by something!

"Oh? What's wrong, mymaster? Isn't this your command?"

"Alright...that's enough, it's over." Kurokawa Kazuya said to Artoria, "You have completed your mission...you have successfully completed your mission, you have once again suppressed this lowly king. But...I still need him, I need him to fight."

"I..." Artoria gripped her sword tightly...

She had a feeling that something was wrong lately.

She didn't know when this feeling started... She always felt that something was wrong... But what exactly was wrong?

Artoria was thinking.

It's not because of what's happening now, but something else.

Unbeknownst to them, control of their bodies had fallen into the hands of Kurokawa Kazuya.

"How are you?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked Alucard, clenching his fist and feeling his body.

"Oh? Are you a Master now?"

"Ah, that's right... She seems to have encountered something recently... She's been lost in thought since the battle... That's why I'm able to do things like this."

Kurokawa Kazuya placed his hand on the stomach of his current body, feeling something inside—Avalon.

It was not removed.

Instead, they began to pour magic into it.

Although he cannot use this Noble Phantasm, with Artoria's magic power, it can still have some effect.

The effectiveness of the treatment.

As long as the magic inside isn't exhausted, he won't die, no matter if his heart is destroyed or his brain is shattered...

Therefore, we must do our best to store up magic power, specifically Artoria's magic power; such opportunities are rare...

We only have two Command Seals left, so we must seize this opportunity!

If he succeeds this time, successfully storing Artoria and King Arthur's magic into Avalon, then... he'll have another trump card up his sleeve.

Chapter 267 The Hunt

"Ok?"

Barthezmero's expression changed slightly: "Dead? Impossible!"

She sensed that her connection with that Servant, Berserker Vortigern, had been severed!

How could that be! Even if Alucard could defeat Vortigern, it would take him at least several days and nights to wear him down!

How could they have killed them so quickly?

Barthes's expression turned grim, but she was no longer able to sense what was happening there... She didn't make any special effort to connect with Berserker through her senses.

The reason is simple: it's because the opponent is that Alucard!

The battle could last for several days.

She simply wasn't going to let Kurokawa and Miya rest. She'd have the Berserker chase them all night.

After that, everyone should work together to find a way to get Alucard to release the River of Death, or simply kill Kurokawa and Mi... That's how it should have been!

But why?

Killed them?

Why was Berserker killed? Was her prediction wrong? Was Alucard actually stronger than she thought? Or was it... Kurokawa Kazuya?

The technique he used when defeating DIO... that was similar to a divine intervention?

However, what descended was not a god, but something else entirely.

Was that his magic trick? Or something else...?

"Once could be considered a coincidence, but the second time... the third time... did I underestimate him? Did I underestimate that cartoonist?"

......

"call----"

The magic gradually faded, and that powerful force slowly disappeared from his body.

Ironically, while his strength diminished, he grew taller and stronger.

Kurokawa Kazuya clenched his fist tightly and let out a breath.

Almost every time... Every time he used this move, a thought would arise deep within him—he wanted to become that strong too!

It was fine before, probably because Jotaro Kujo wasn't as strong as he is now.

After becoming Jotaro Kujo, his power neither weakened nor strengthened.

In other words... even if he summoned a Servant with particularly weak power, that Servant's weakest trait wouldn't be worse than Kurokawa Kazuya's current one; it would only be stronger than his.

It feels like my strength is being gradually drained away...

It was truly unpleasant.

It's upsetting...

"Did it swallow it?" Kurokawa Kazuya waved his fist, waved his hand somewhat dissatisfiedly, and then asked Alucard in an attempt to change the subject.

“Of course.” Alucard smiled. “It has been completely swallowed. Now this Berserker is mine, truly in my River of Death. I can use it at any time, and I can make this power shine at any time.”

"That's good."

Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go back now."

How do we get back?

"...Ha," Kurokawa Kazuya sighed helplessly, looking at the car in the distance that had become a pile of scrap metal, and said, "Of course we walked back."

Barthezmero's idea has, to some extent, come true.

Kurokawa and Akkado walked until the sun was almost up before finally returning to Cairo.

......

Avalon.

It wasn't the conceptual weapon in Kurokawa Kazuya's hands, but the real Avalon, the Sea within the Stars.

Merlin was troubled.

He has indeed obtained Artoria...

They obtained Artoria from this parallel world, but didn't know what to do with her. Artoria's soul was currently in her body, perfectly intact in the inner sea of ​​this star.

Although, it was only summoned out for a moment.

However, these were not things Merlin cared about.

He was concerned about something else.

Artoria's body and soul can now be perfectly integrated, meaning that Artoria can wake up and come back to life at any time if Merlin wants her to.

But... he couldn't do that.

Because Artoria's obsession has not been eliminated; she still wants to obtain the Holy Grail and change the fate of Britain.

This won't do... This kind of ending...

Merlin simply didn't want Artoria to end up as the guardian of Alaya, but... remaining lost like this couldn't go on. He had to find an opportunity...
