Zero is dead.

The moment Wende hit his left cheek with his right fist, Wende affirmed this. The fleshy feeling of the right fist was quite real, and he could clearly hear Zero's neck breaking.

Crack...

Zero, who flew out dozens of meters away, fell heavily to the ground, keeping a very strange angle between his head and his body.

Seeing this scene, the orange soda hovered over the sky and aimed at the giant Vulcan cannon, but was unable to support it, shouting happily, "Brother, you hit him! It's all over, right?" As he said that, he pulled the trigger of the Vulcan cannon without hesitation and shot it at zero on the ground in case he pretended to die.

The bullets like rainstorm were scattered, and Zero's body quickly became riddled with holes.

Wende did not stop or stepped forward. He was still immersed in the punch just now, and according to the previous battle, Wende should not have hit Zero so easily. But at that moment, Zero Pepe had a moment of hesitation that he shouldn't have, and failed to make effective dodges.

(In addition, he also wants to speak, and... that action)

Wende hesitated for a moment and removed the ice fairy and the explosion fist on his hands. As a result, he saw that four bright red marks appeared on the backs of his hands and hands. Two of his hands were complicated patterns with different patterns, but he could still clearly see its number, and its completeness, which should be three things that actually lacked one.

This is naturally a curse seal.

In the Holy Grail battle, the only means used by magicians to control the summoning of heroic spirits is simple and rough. Even if they violate the will of heroic spirits, heroic spirits cannot disobey the command of the curse seal.

From this point of view, Zero did use some of his abilities to make the demons Artoria and Shiro Emiya appear and become his heroic spirit.

But... why did he transfer this completely useless curse seal to Wende at the last moment?

Wende couldn't understand this.

If you want to say that Zero discovered his conscience at the last moment and repented, Wende was the first one who refused to believe it.

He lowered his head and stared at the four injured marks a little speechless. Until, in the special state, Joan of Arc's voice came, "Winder, have you killed Zero?"

Wende then came to his senses, "Yes, that's right." He asked quickly, "Is it okay for you?"

"...It's okay. Zhao Yun and I are still alive, and they are both alive... and somehow, they refuse to fight with us."

Joan of Arc seemed to guess the situation on Wende's side because of this. But when they met, Wende realized that what Joan of Arc said just now was okay, and he was really too polite to describe it.

Can this be called OK, right?

It is clearly a miracle that Joan of Arc and Zhao Yun, as well as Artoria and Shirou Emiya who followed him, it is clear that the four of them can still stand at the moment, right?!

Zhao Yun's bright silver armor was completely broken into pieces, and the exposed skin was also full of holes, and only blood was stained with blood. As her opponent Shirou Emiya, there were not many wounds, but the gun hole in his abdomen was also terrifying and made people feel that he could still live. In comparison, Joan of Arc was the best among the four. After all, she was wearing the artifact of Light Armor, but her face was also pale and terrible. She walked and shook, as if even the gust of wind could blow; the last Artoria was like a "roasted chicken" just brought out from the stove. Not to mention it, it was charred, and Wende seemed to be able to smell the burnt smell of barbecue...

Seeing the four of them clearly, Wende was really surprised. While taking out the potion to help them heal their wounds, he couldn't help but glar at Joan of Arc, "When did you learn to lie?"

Joan of Arc just smiled and shrugged and said, "At least we are all alive, aren't we?" He only let Wende lose his temper and asked helplessly, "How did he become like this?"

Then I learned that when he found Zero's traces and flew up to fight Zero. Feeling Zero's crisis, Artoria and Shiro Emiya became like humans. In order to get to Zero in time, they almost spared no expense.

So if you want to stop them, Joan of Arc and Zhao Yun had to do their best.

This is how Zhao Yun and Shirou Emiya became like this after fighting.

In fact, the same is true for Joan of Arc, but the Aganista she wore was already strong and had excellent resistance to light attributes. Then, after taking Artoria's real name Liberation Sword of Victory, she was lucky to be unharmed; on the contrary, in order to break through. Jean of Arc blocked and forcibly attacked Artoria was injured very much by Jean of Arc after giving up the distant ideal village.

At this time, Joan of Arc was a little scared, "If you slow down for a while, there might be casualties among us..." She was also a little curious about the current situation of Artoria and Shirou Emiya. The two stopped attacking very suddenly, and they followed him when they met with Wende, but no matter what they asked them, they could not get a response. "They seem... they haven't recovered yet, right?" Artoria and Shirou Emiya were still single black, easy to distinguish, "Why did they suddenly turn enemies into friends, and they seemed to obey you?"

Joan of Arc should not be talking nonsense. Artoria and Shirou Emiya who came with them had already made her feel equally concerned with Zhao Yun. If Wende had not requested it repeatedly here, they would not have agreed. Even so, they were very careful, but unexpectedly found that Artoria and Shirou Emiya were very respectful to Wende. As soon as they met, they even shouted in unison: "master!"

Only Joan of Arc and Zhao Yun were confused.

But let alone them, even Wende still can't figure it out.

He told his experience to his companions, and heard that Zero had transferred the curse to Wende, Zhao Yun and Joan of Arc as he was dying.

"Why did he do this?" I couldn't figure it out, and even if I had a discussion, there was no answer.

Wender can only ask Artoria and Shirou Emiya, "Do you know why that guy Zero did this?"

Shiro Emiya replied: "This is the master's order, let us follow you and protect you in the future..."

"...what is this?" Wende became more and more speechless. But when he asked again, the two people refused to speak again.

Until he said, "Do you want this too? Don't you want freedom? As long as you are willing to cooperate well and don't be enemies with us in the future... you don't have to stay by my side."

Artoria was a little moved, and her expressionless expression was a little loose. The dull hair on her head swayed and suddenly made a bitter smile, "It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't do it."

Wende was a little surprised. When he asked, he realized that the two of them and the demon were a little surprised.

As Wender had guessed before, the appearance of Shirou Emiya and Artoria was indeed summoned by Zero according to his source method, using holy relics and other means. But Zero alone could not do this. After all, the original work was achieved through various reserves of the Holy Grail.

So in the inner world, Zero also relied on some other means, and with the help of others, the siege strength and the appearance of Artoria came true.

Even so, these two heroes are slightly different from the real demons. They are the strongest, but they cannot get magic replenishment, and rely entirely on zero magic replenishment. This means that once there is no master, they will continue to weaken until their existence cannot be maintained, resulting in complete dissipation...

This made Wende feel a little surprised, "It is because of this that you have to obey that guy Zero."

But Artoria said, "Yes, not." Without waiting for Wende to explain, "We will obey his commands because the oath before this made us like this. And the reason we do that is because we help Zero summon us out of the man and assure us that as long as we help Zero complete the task, he will let us be free and exist like a real demon..."

Wende asked keenly: "Who is that person? I mean the one who helped Zero!" He thought of the aura of the castle. If nothing unexpected happens, the man should be the real mastermind behind it. He caused all this and kept instructing Zero and many demons like Zero, the culprit of the summoner who created disasters everywhere in the world!

However, Artoria's answer was disheartening, "We have never seen him. We just heard him unilaterally."

Zhao Yun asked in the air, "So you will believe his words."

"Yes." Shiro Emiya smiled bitterly, "because his power is so powerful that we must do this..."

"Tsk." Wende had no choice but to give up asking and asked, "So what method does he want to help you? Do you know?"

It was okay if Artoria didn't say it before. When she learned that the two of them had to rely on master to exist, Wend noticed that his magic power was consumed so quickly. Not only did he kill the shadow monster and disappear, but the magic power in stock turned into a clean big zero egg, and even his physical strength seemed to gradually decline.

So the conclusion is obvious, Wind...at least here, it is extremely difficult to maintain the consumption of Artoria and Shiro Emiya...

Artoria hesitated, "It's the Holy Grail..."

"Holy Grail?" Wender subconsciously thought: Isn't that thing in the Vatican? But suddenly he reacted. Isn't Zero and Artoria and Shiro Emiya the source of Shirou Emiya just to fight for a Holy Grail and a wish?

"…This subspace…is really a Holy Grail?!"
