MTLNOVEL Chapter 577: Chapter 577: The Summoning Continues
The girl's name was Haruri Borzak.
She was recruited by Francesca to participate in the Holy Grail War and had a Master position reserved in advance.
The reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was not complicated.
It wasn't for fame and fortune, nor to pursue the Root, but simply for revenge.
Haruri's grandfather was named Odd Borzak.
He was a Dead Apostle bee-user with a certain reputation in his lifetime, and the family had always been under Odd's protection.
Haruri's family was Odd's only bloodline descendants.
–Dead Apostles cannot reproduce.
Because of this obsession, some people try to have descendants before transforming into Dead Apostles, leaving a bloodline in the world.
After the direct descendants have grandchildren, they transform their children into Dead Apostles.
Letting them become "sons and daughters."
Dead Apostles can only achieve alternative bloodline reproduction through this method.
Therefore, the bee-user Odd took great care of Haruri's family.
Some Dead Apostles who have blood relatives left in the human world usually have an affinity for their blood relatives who are still human.
Like the former Fourteenth Ancestor, Rozay-en.
Turning into vampires with his lovely daughters, the last hope of the aristocracy, his faction is now one of the largest in Dead Apostle society.
The biological defects of Dead Apostles are too obvious.
They cannot have children, Dead Apostles cannot inherit abilities, and cannot pass on their genes.
The current former Fourteenth Ancestor is also lamenting that he cannot see the faces of his children and grandchildren.
Originally, Haruri's family would have been protected by her grandfather.
But, in the end, man's plans are no match for heaven's.
Odd Borzak died in a plane crash while traveling by plane.
The truth was not so simple; Haruri later discovered that other magi had hired assassins to kill him on the plane.
The person who killed the bee-user Odd was named Natalia.
And her adopted ward, Kiritsugu Emiya.
It was these two magus assassins and their employer who caused the tragedy of Haruri's family.
The death of the Dead Apostle grandfather left their family without a protective umbrella, and Haruri's parents were criticized as heretics by the magi.
Her parents were brutally murdered, and only she survived by chance.
Therefore, the girl's wish was ordinary.
–To avenge the enemies who plundered her family, to avenge the magus assassins who killed her grandfather, to avenge the magical world, to avenge the mysteries!
…Why…did it turn out like this…?
Haruri kept coughing up blood.
She chose to summon the Heroic Spirit in the power plant precisely to use electricity to amplify the Heroic Spirit.
She made full preparations to summon the True Berserker.
The summoning was successful.
As a result, the Berserker went berserk before forming a contract with her, causing her to take a heavy blow.
Although this wouldn't even count as a wave of the hand for the Berserker.
But, for a mortal, a Heroic Spirit's blow is a completely fatal blow.
Dad…Mom…is this death…?
In the last moments of blurred consciousness.
What appeared in her mind were the kind faces of her parents and their expectant gazes.
–She couldn't even achieve revenge.
Dying like trash in a corner, actually killed by the summoned Heroic Spirit with one blow.
As expected, it's a joke that suits her, a mortal.
It doesn't matter…I'll use myself…as your sacrifice…
Haruri had a self-deprecating smile.
She slowly reached out her hand towards the True Berserker.
With each step the True Berserker took, there would be a creaking mechanical sound in the room, and it would even crawl around the room on all fours.
Although its eyes shone with bright, fiery light, the moans that occasionally overflowed were as hoarse as the sound of a rusty record player.
Come on, kill me. The price is…as long as you can continue to exist, you must live as you please. Make your figure the focus of the world's attention, making hidden magecraft meaningless…
Haruri secretly wished to the True Berserker.
Just as she was about to use up all her Command Spells before she died, she heard a melodious, silver-bell-like voice beside her ear.
"Oh~ Your way of struggling is quite unique."
Haruri caught sight of someone in the corner of her eye.
The woman slowly walked out of the dim corner, she had snow-white hair and eyes as beautiful as rubies.
–An Einzbern homunculus?
No, something's wrong!
Noticing the other party's existence, Haruri was startled and quickly got up, even forgetting that she was seriously injured.
However, the pain seemed to have completely disappeared.
She couldn't feel any pain at all.
"How…is this possible…?"
Haruri looked at herself in disbelief.
She found that all the injuries she had suffered had been restored, and there wasn't even a drop of blood on her clothes.
It was so strange that everything just now seemed like a dream.
But, she knew it was definitely not a dream.
"Hoh? I see, I see, you still want to be by my side? I knew you wouldn't choose that bastard, that heartbreaker, but would stand on my side, you're such a good child."
The silver-haired woman smiled sweetly.
She stood in front of the mechanical True Berserker, with a gentle smile on her face like a loving mother.
The True Berserker was agitated by her words.
Whether it was an illusion or not, its emotions seemed to carry a hint of fear?
"You don't want me to scold that guy Moran? And you want me and him to get along well, like we did in Uruk?"
The silver-haired woman showed a strange smile.
This smile revealed a hint of coldness like a blade, as if saying silently that this was absolutely impossible.
Like the laughter of a demon.
"Silly child, don't say such things in front of me a second time. Otherwise, even if I'm as gentle as I am, I can't help but want to tear things apart."
The silver-haired woman still had a smile on her face.
But, there wasn't a trace of a smile in it.
The Berserker with its mechanical skin trembled all over.
Like a frightened child.
It covered its head with its mechanical giant feet, looking scared while saying "I won't do it again."
"Alright, from now on, that child is your Master. Go and form a contract with her."
The silver-haired woman flicked her hair.
She said in a charming tone.
This made Haruri stunned.
How could a Berserker who would even attack its summoner obediently follow orders?
The woman in front of her didn't even have Command Spells.
However, the next second overturned Haruri's perception.
"Gah…O-O-O-O-O-Obey…O-O-O-O-O-Obey…O-O-O-O-Orders——!!!"
This Berserker actually followed the silver-haired woman's words, bowing its head as if serving the fallen Haruri.
