The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　The sharp spear pierced the white giant's heart.

　The giant staggered backwards, leaving a glaring trail of blood on the ground.

　"I still—I still—"

　The white giant roared, his eyes becoming increasingly unfocused.

　An unknown but extremely familiar figure appeared in front of him at some point and smiled at him.

　"Asterios..."

　With a complicated expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Asterios, whose anger was gradually disappearing in front of him.

　"Just now... the memory just now is..."

　Asterios muttered to himself, and then burst into laughter.

　"What is that! What is that? I've never been looked at like that before..."

　The voice gradually became lower and lower, and the initial howl turned into a whisper in a moment...

　"I'm so envious...over there..."

　The huge body turned into spirit particles and completely dissipated.

　The moment the figure disappeared, the sound of footsteps reached everyone's ears.

　"Is it resolved? Looks like I'm late..."

　Avisbronn's figure slowly appeared along with the sound of his footsteps and Fujimaru Ritsuka's joyful voice.

　"Avisbronn... That's Ritsuka's Servant, right? Why is he here?"

　“You can say

　Is involved

　284

　I came here, or I could say I jumped in on my own initiative, and—"

　Avisbronn lengthened his voice slightly.

　"The current situation is not optimistic, but if we don't do what he says, it will be very troublesome."

　The blond man with scars all over his body frowned as he listened to Avisbronn's words, and his sharp eyes kept looking up and down at Avisbronn.

　"My name is Beowulf, Lord Avisbronn. You sound as if you have surrendered to your enemy."

　The silver-haired woman protected Fujimaru Ritsuka behind her, with the two swords in her hands ready to strike.

　"Maybe. The situation is complicated, and there's not much time to explain..."

　Avisbronn spoke to himself, then looked at the surrounding maze.

　"The destruction of the Minotaur means that he has lost ownership of the maze and the magic that sustains his existence. We will be able to escape from this maze soon, but—"

　Avisbronn changed the subject and his tone gradually became heavier.

　"We can still make use of this maze now."

　"What does it mean?"

　Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

　"Could it be... that it's going to be made into a puppet?"

　"Indeed, since it is a product of the Age of Gods, it is the perfect material for my puppet. However, the only thing missing is the core."

　"Ah, I know that. It's the stuff used for the puppet core, right?"

　Avisbronn nodded.

　"Indeed, I've always been concerned about the core issue. Currently, the puppets used for combat only exist for a moment. Therefore, the ones that are forged are merely imitations."

　"Although a huge amount of magic power is required, this is all that is necessary."

　The magic circuit began to spread quietly along the walls, the ground, and the ceiling.

　"But this isn't enough to defeat Ivan the Terrible. I saw that one before you did. What Kadoc Zemlupus showed me was definitely not a human. It was a primate from the distant past, before humans appeared on this planet."

　"A monster of that level can't be defeated with a single, fleeting attack."

　"So what should we do? How should we fight? Since we can't find a usable core..."

　The wound on his spiritual base reminded him of this all the time.

　Every time the word "core" is mentioned, a deep sense of guilt and pain will come from within the spiritual base.

　"Then I will be the core."

　Avisbronn pierced his own spirit core without hesitation.

　"I'll be honest with you—"

　Avisbronn's figure became illusory.

　"I've killed children."

　Everyone looked at Avisbronn in silence.

　"Since I was summoned as a Servant, I have killed people. There are such servants. Their hands were not stained in life, but they stained their hands after death."

　"Once summoned, killing is inevitable. After all, the Holy Grail War is nothing more than a sacrifice to satisfy the magus's desires."

　Atalanta looked at Avisbronn in front of her with a complicated expression.

　"It can't be helped, but I am the worst one."

　"My wish was to recreate the origin of humanity. To do this, I trampled upon my own morality and dignity and killed my Master's child. But this is just a record. I cannot even know the child's appearance or name."

　"I clearly did this, but I don't have the slightest memory of it."

　The maze began to tremble slightly, and the walls began to slowly open.

　"Nevertheless, this record torments me as a fact, and is vivid to me every time I am summoned."

　At the same time, the spreading magic circuit caught everyone's eyes.

　"After all, you are just one of those magi who follow their own desires—"

　Avisbronn's words were abruptly stopped, and the overwhelming magic rebound completely merged into the room.

　"Enemy!?"

　"Wait a minute, Ritsuka!"

　Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, then reached out and touched the circuit on the wall.

　The next second, a big hole appeared in the wall, and the blue-green lake light flashed by.

　"Zig?"

　Looking at the girl who stopped immediately, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a look of joy.

　"you--"

　Avisbronn looked in disbelief at the magic circuit that was gradually retracting into the girl's body.

　"Caster... and the red side's Archer... no, Berserker?"

　The sound of metal friction slowly rang out, and the mask began to gradually disintegrate, revealing the girl's face.

　"You're from... that time, that Holy Grail War!"

　Avisbronn's emotions suddenly became excited.

　"Ah."

　The girl nodded gently, then slowly spoke:

　"Your Master is Roger, Roger.

　Fuleiin

　285

　You, Yogdomirenya, used him as your core to recreate the original human race."

　"That's it..."

　Avisbronn's eyes slowly closed beneath his mask.

　Since the girl can appear here, his ending is self-evident.

　"In this way... I can atone for my unforgivable sins..."

　"You said... Can humanity really be saved?"

　"I don't know... but—any salvation humans can devise will inevitably push them into an irreversible abyss..."

　"I see... I will hand over control of the Titan to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and what happens next is..."

　Avisbronn's voice grew fainter.

　"I'll leave it to you..."

　The beast that took away salvation...

　-

　The Road to Choice: Part II: Ivan the Terrible

　"I won't say that this situation doesn't exist. After all, I haven't experienced what you call the Holy Grail War, but—"

　Beowulf looked at the gradually disappearing Avisbronn, a serious expression on his scarred face.

　"Although there's no need to remember what happened during a Holy Grail War, you will repent for your actions... Now you are standing here as a party to restore human justice, and now you are planning to sacrifice yourself. What a good excuse... Unforgivable."

　The figure of Avisbronn nodded at Beowulf's words.

　"You're right, this is just an excuse, an excuse to atone for your sins..."

　"Sieg! Avisbronn!"

　"Don't ask her for help, Master. I asked for it. Besides, I've already done something unforgivable to her. It's neither moral nor logical for her to help me..."

　"Ritsuka is right..."

　Sieg blinked lightly and spoke slowly, then stretched out his hand and pointed it at Avisbronn.

　"You're right, that's truly unforgivable—"

　A layer of dull gold gradually covered the crimson dragon pupils.

　"You have much more to atone for."

　The magic circuit flashed with a strange purple light and shot out from the girl's palm, surrounding Avisbronn's transparent figure and then firmly "grasping" him.

　"I will solve all the problems. Before that, as atonement for my sins, it shouldn't be difficult for Adam to control a puppet to protect several people, right?"

　"..."

　A pitch-black device emerged from the girl's hand, then fell directly onto the floor of the room, forcing the maze's transformation into a puppet to stop.

　"Just use this to replace the core, and then—"

　Incredible magic power began to gather in the girl's palm, and then wrapped in a magic circuit, it pierced into Avisbronn's heart.

　The body that was about to merge into the puppet was forcibly pulled back.

　No...that's not right.

　He was pulled out without violence...

　But -

　"They directly analyzed my Noble Phantasm and separated me from its composition."

　Avisbronn, who had become a physical body again, spoke slowly.

　The white maze trembled, and a huge hand slowly stretched out from the maze and pressed on the ground. The moment the hand touched the ground, it turned into the paradise in ancient legends, and the frozen earth began to be replaced by strange vegetation.

　"That one?"

　Slowly exhaling a breath of hot air, the girl stood in the wind and snow, quietly watching the monster in the distance that broke through the blockade of the mountains and slowly showed its fangs.

　"Sieg..."
