Chapter 525: Chapter 495: Unexpected Person (Two in One)_2 Chapter 525: Chapter 495: Unexpected Person (Two in One)_2 Roger frowned, as the weakness he felt referred not to his own strength.
But to his soul, riddled with a thousand holes.
Roger was contemplating how to explain Lancelot’s Inheritance Core, but a single sentence from Tristan stopped him dead in his tracks.
“Don’t make a move, I’m not Tristan.”
“I’m Grace.”
In the other’s eyes shone a light familiar to Roger.
He suddenly rembered that during the attack on the Deerhead Spirit, Tristan’s body seed to experience so problems, after which he fell into a serious injury and beca unconscious.
For a long ti thereafter, he had had interactions with Tristan, but his state had been very strange.
Tristan stepped forward, but before Roger could speak, Goway, standing by his side, coldly shouted.
“Stop, don’t move!”
At the sa ti, a burst of frost exploded at Tristan’s feet; if he had moved just a fraction slower, he would have definitely been gravely injured.
The power of Lancelot held an overwhelming advantage over that of an ordinary Heritage Knight.
Although there was a faint surprise in Goway’s eyes, there was more caution than anything else.
Although this girl usually looked like a young child, she had gone through too much lately, and had grown up.
Her deep affection for Grace made her hope that everything she saw and heard was real, but at the sa ti, she did not want to put Roger in danger because she was swayed by her emotions.
“Stand there, don’t move!”
Goway said word by word.
Tristan gave a wry smile.
“Little girl, when did you beco so tough?” He looked at Roger in surprise, “Who is this guy?”
“Before, weren’t you always with that Roger…”
He stopped there suddenly, confusion flashing across his face, rubbing his forehead in pain.
“No, that’s not right.”
“That Roger also beca a Heritage Knight.”
“It’s Bedivere.”
The expression on his face dimd instantly, and he looked at Goway apologetically, “My mory seems to have so problems, I originally thought my soul had completely disappeared.”
“But the Inheritance Ceremony apparently didn’t complete thoroughly, the real Tristan suffered so injuries afterwards, and his soul beca even more fragnted, which allowed to retain a part of myself.”
“However, as his strength recovered and grew stronger, the space for my existence beca smaller and smaller, until not long ago.”
As he spoke, he took out a badly damaged, nearly split in half Holy Grail.
“Holy Grail?”
Seeing this object, Roger imdiately thought of Gaharad.
“What exactly happened?”
He stepped forward and asked.
Tristan, or rather Grace, glanced at Goway, and seeing that she made no objection, he repeated the whole story.
“…That’s how it went, no one expected the commander of the Round Table Knight Order, the famous Green, to be a high-tier vampire!”
“It’s ironic.”
Grace gave a bitter smile, “Our Secret Blood Family sacrificed so much, when we thought we were upholding the stability of the world, but in fact, we were a vampire’s plaything.”
“Green is a high-tier vampire, and he has an identical clone with equal fighting strength!”
Looking at the distant erupting volcano, Roger could imagine the fierceness of the battle at that ti.
He was eager to know more details.
“After hearing Gaharad’s words, we scattered and fled.”
Grace continued, glancing at Goway as he spoke, this sister whom he cherished the most seed to have beco unfamiliar in such a short ti.
“But soon after we escaped, a blood-red light descended from the sky. No matter how we dodged, the light pierced through all obstacles and struck directly.”
“Or rather, it hit the Holy Grail within .”
“Without any powerful energy, but the energy within the Holy Grail was activated, which then triggered a chain reaction, destroying Tristan’s soul.”
“This allowed to recover from being consud and oppressed by Tristan, but it took a long ti before I regained control of my own body.”
“It’s ridiculous, this body was originally mine.”
As Grace spoke, Roger carefully observed him, then took a step forward, channeling a bit of energy from the Pale Blood into him.
In an instant, he grasped the condition of Grace’s body, and also agreed with his story.
“If that’s the case…” Roger felt a sense of urgency.
As a high-tier vampire, once Green had dealt with all the obstacles, he would most likely head straight to Lilith’s hideout.
“We have to find that place as soon as possible!”
“There’s also Tamara and Gawain, who has yet to show himself.”
With complex forces at play, Roger had to reevaluate the clues and seek out his own opportunity.
Next, he needed to find Lilith’s hideout and get there quickly, which might prove inconvenient if he also brought along Goway and Grace…
Carrying the Sword of Frost, with Goway’s ability, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a concealed location to hide, but the most secure option was the fairytale manuscript.
However, with Grace…
Although Roger had believed his words, deep down, he was sowhat uneasy.
Sensing Roger’s hesitation, Goway stepped forward. “Go do whatever you need to do, don’t worry about .”
“I can take care of myself.”
Roger didn’t say a word; Goway’s eyes glead with complex emotions. She wanted to trust the man before her, yet feared that all this might be just a sche by Tristan.
This turmoil tornted her, yet it also made her aware of Roger’s doubts.
Thinking this, Goway’s form grew taller, and a red robe once again enshrouded her.
At the sa ti, a barely visible phantom shadow appeared behind her.
She opened her palm, and in its center, a red bud engraved with golden patterns slowly erged.
Goway handed the falling bud to Grace. “Swallow it!”
“This is ford by my companion treant, the Rose Monster. Once you consu it, the bud will automatically disperse inside your body and then gather in your heart through your blood.”
“If… If you lied just now,”
“And you harbor malicious thoughts, the bud will bloom. Believe , you won’t want the beautiful petals to fill your organs!” Goway declared.
Though her tone was cold, her gaze stayed on the ground; she dared not look directly at the familiar face before her.
“I will eat it,” Grace said, smiling as he swallowed the bud whole, even appearing sowhat relieved.
“You’re doing the right thing; that sniveling little girl has finally grown up,” Roger remarked quietly. He knew Goway’s feelings for Grace, which made her decision especially painful as she didn’t want to burden herself.
Goway turned away. “This spell cos from the Rose Monster, and to so extent, my control over it isn’t as effortless as it should be.”
“So don’t be hopeful of luck.”
She tried to keep her voice steady, but the quiver at the end was inevitable.
“Co with .”
Roger led the two to a nearby high mountain. Halfway up, they stumbled upon two lifeless bodies.
The Gaheris brothers, sitting back to back, had long since lost their vitality.
In their hands lay two shattered Holy Grails.
“They thought that reclaiming their own Holy Grails ant escaping the Privy Council’s control, yet in the end, they still t that inevitable fate,” Roger sighed.
“Perhaps this is a form of liberation in disguise.”
He dug a deep hole in the ground, laying the two brothers side by side, and buried them.
When was the last ti he buried a body?
And Anna, where was she now?
Had she been completely assimilated by Lilith, erasing her consciousness?
Imagining things out of thin air.
Roger initiated the temporary migration function in a secluded place.
He entered the cottage and opened the fairytale manuscript.
Uh…
Considering the history between Goway and Amanda, Roger wisely didn’t place them in the sa world.
Ha-ha, speaking of which, we’re all friends, so why do I feel sowhat guilty?
After all was done, he didn’t leave imdiately but headed straight for the Shadow Cottage to seek so answers.
