1978 The Unstoppable Atonement
"Woo...!"
Every word of Bedville's words and words seemed to have turned into a substantial attack, making Artoria feel her head hurt more and more. She covered her head and kept making a depressed sound.
"Yu!"
Dong Starryn seemed to notice the abnormality of his master and screamed, but did not receive Artoria's response.
At this moment, staring at the holy sword in Bedville's hand, feeling the familiar aura and fluctuations on it, and then looking at Bedville's face full of determination, Artoria felt her head was about to crack.
Then Artoria vaguely saw it.
I saw an incredible scene.
That was the scene where I had not picked up the holy gun, covered in scars, dyed red by blood, and lying in front of the trees in the forest.
Artoria knew that this was her past self. She had not given up on human beings or human nature, but she had already completed her life as a human being and was about to die.
The pain caused by the injuries suffered at that time seemed to be vivid in my mind, making Artoria feel a faint pain in her body.
What I felt at that time finally began to emerge, making Artoria feel unable to breathe.
And in front of such an self, there was a knight who was holding his own holy sword, his face covered with tears, and he cried extremely sadly.
The face and figure of the knight overlapped with Bedville in front of him.
Artoria didn't know the name of the knight, and couldn't remember the memories related to the knight.
But...
"I know your face..."
Artoria covered her head in unbearable pain while staring at Bedville, her tone filled with struggle and wavering.
"You are...you are..."
Artoria kept repeating this, and could not remember the other person's name anyway.
But there is one thing that Artoria must stop.
"Don't approach me with that holy sword!" Artoria couldn't help but whisper to Bedville: "That's something I have abandoned, throw that sword away!"
Artoria resisted the holy sword that she had used for her life.
This is also helpless.
Artoria had already felt it vaguely, and once she held the holy sword again, she would be done.
This is not an exaggeration.
Due to the twist of human history, Artoria became the king of the undead who lost the holy sword and wandered around the world with the holy gun. If he held the holy sword again, this history would be restored.
At that time, Artoria will lose the holy gun and regain the holy sword. The accumulated divine nature so far will be suppressed by the human nature that was once abandoned, and she will also take back everything she had when she was a human being, let everything now disappear and make a waste of effort.
In other words, once the Holy Sword is regained, Artoria's 1,500-year period will no longer exist and will return to its initial state.
This is something Artoria cannot accept now.
pity...
"This is your belonging, and it is also something you place in me. Only by returning it to you will you be reborn."
Bedville declared this.
"So, I'm not going to throw it down anyway."
Not to mention throwing it down, Bedville will return it to Artoria.
However, this will also lead to a result.
"In that case, Knight Bedville will disappear...!"
In Chaldes, Leonardo da Vinci couldn't help but speak out.
This is a matter of course.
"Bedville is now maintaining his life by relying on the power of the Holy Sword!"
"Once he loses the Holy Sword, his body will collapse immediately!"
Roman and Olgamarie's voices were also anxious.
Upon learning this, Mashu's eyes trembled.
"senior!"
At that moment, Maxiu grabbed Luo Zhen and spoke anxiously.
"Let's go and help Mr. Bedville!"
help?
How to help?
Don't Bedville return the Holy Sword?
That is impossible.
"This is the long-cherished wish of the loyal knight, and it is also the mission he must fulfill, and we should not stop it."
Artoria said such words in a quiet voice.
Luo Zhen also shook his head.
"We can't do that, Mashu."
Luo Zhen smiled bitterly.
That's right.
This cannot be done.
It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s that it can’t be done.
"Because of the fact that the Holy Sword has not been returned, King Arthur has been wandering in the world as a dead soul for 1,500 years, and has killed humans as a goddess, collecting humans as fire, trying to open the tower of the end, summon the end of the world, and completely abandon human history. These are the consequences of Bedville's temporary unbearableness. He has also been wandering in the world for 1,500 years with this sin, and has been recurring and never stopped. Now he has finally had the opportunity to make up for it. Do you want to take it away from him?"
Luo Zhen's words made Mashu unable to even speak a word.
The bitterness on Luo Zhen's face had already calmed down.
"He carries this sin and has been carrying it for a full 1,500 years. Even though his spirit has almost been lost, his soul is almost exhausted. He is desperate to find King Arthur, never giving up. Now he is even more in order to gain the power to fight with the Lion King, overdraw his life, use the power of the Holy Sword, and walk all the way here. This shows how persistent Bedville is about this."
So, before the war began, Bedville cried like that.
Because, he was really tired and was overwhelmed by the guilt.
Just imagine, if you were yourself, knowing that what you did led to the person you loved becoming a dead soul for 1,500 years, and become a god who annihilates human nature, and do so many things that harm the heavens, then anyone would collapse.
Bedville is already on the verge of collapse, and now he has finally got the opportunity to be freed and cannot be let go.
Bedville even rejected Luo Zhen's request to cure his body.
Although Bedville was terminally ill and his life was not long, out of compassion, Luo Zhen had thought of treating Bedville's body, even the spirit and soul, before the final battle began.
With Luo Zhen’s current methods, it is not difficult to do all this.
Not to mention anything else, using the ability of (Water Essence: White Steel) to trace back the time and let Bedville return to its original state of health, Luo Zhen could do it completely.
But Bedville refused without hesitation.
"This is my due end. Sin does not allow me to obtain redemption. Please let me give up everything in the true sense for the sake of atonement."
This is Bedville's request.
Therefore, Luo Zhen could not stop it.
certainly...
"Do you think you can defeat me alone? The nameless knight!"
Artoria spoke in pain and resistance.
But Bedville was not shaken.
"I know that, by my own sake, even if there is a holy sword, I can't defeat you."
Chapter completed!
