The Only Male Protagonist

"Athena?"

It was Athena who was sitting in the living room of Yuki Rito's house at the moment. The appearance of this cute little girl was exactly the posture she had before she got the Gorgon Stone.

"Are you injured? This injury..."

Seeing Yuki Rito, Athena, who was about to tell something, quickly changed her mind. She not only noticed that Yuki Rito was seriously injured, but also felt that the injury was somewhat familiar.

It was the weapon used by the military god Lancelot on the Thracian Plain, and it felt sharper than the one I had seen at that time.

"Have you also seen Guinevia and Lancelot? After losing the Holy Grail, they have the ability to hurt you to this extent?"

"Guinevia, Lancelot?"

Thinking about the name Athena uttered for a moment, Yuki Rito looked Athena up and down, and frowned faintly feeling the vitality she was losing.

"Leaving aside my affairs, you seem to be in trouble?"

"Well, my current combat strength is less than half, but if you kill my concubine in such a special state, you may still be able to gain power. Do you want to try?"

Athena's almost provocative words made Yuki Rito a little helpless.

"You clearly know my choice, or are you saying that not only is your combat power reduced, but your intelligence is also reduced?"

"...The concubine met the demon queen Guinevia who was awakening the sword and salvation sword of the last king on the Thracian plain, and the army god Lancelot who guarded her. Because she felt that the spirit of the earth was being plundered, I have a battle with them..."

"And you lost? Is Lancelot so strong?"

The name Lancelot is very famous. However, compared to heroes who slay dragons or fight with gods, Lancelot should not be too powerful. Yuki Rito did not expect that even the peak state Athena will become what she is now - from a girl to a little girl again in order to slow down the loss of vitality.

"The person I lost to wasn't Lancelot, nor Guinevia, or even the Godly Sword of Salvation. I sensed a potentially terrifying existence, the Godslayer Yuuki Rito, do you believe in fate? Do you think Guinevia awakened the King of the End, Lancelot guarded Guinevia, and the King of the End acted to defeat the Demon King, is it their own choice?"

Athena refers to the possible Bengyu class?

Yuki Rito was not sure, and noticed Erica and the others' astonished and surprised faces, and didn't want Yuki Rito to change the subject because others were worried about it.

"I'm not a person who resigns himself to fate. Let's deal with your injuries first. Your vitality is draining, and it hasn't leaked out. Instead, it's absorbed by something, inside your body?"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, can figure out the reason why Yuki Rito changed the subject based on Yuki Rito's previous actions.

A very special godslayer indeed.

Just as Yuki Rito said that the serious situation had nothing to do with her, Athena sighed leisurely in her heart before replying.

"Holy Grail, the sacred object prepared by Guinevia to make the King of the End be at its peak after waking up. It usurps my vitality in my body as the goddess of the earth. I have not found a way to stop it so far. If the speed continues, I may survive for another twenty days."

Chapter 0388 plan

In the beginning, the Holy Grail was only to absorb Athena's spell power, but at that time it was the battle between Athena and Lancelot, and there was an unknown existence watching beside her. Athena, who didn't want to sit still, forcibly sucked the Holy Grail into her body and left the battlefield. Got out of the dead end, but the Holy Grail that entered Athena's body began to absorb her life force, and even Athena herself couldn't stop it, it was a slow death.

As a result, Athena chose to come to Yuki Rito.

This situation made everyone speechless for a while. The God of Disobedience, who was about to die, approached the God Slayer. It seemed that it was not for fighting. How many people would believe it.

"I already have a general understanding of the origin and function of the Holy Grail, so—"

The radiant golden sword appeared in the hands of Yuki Rito. At the same time, Yuki Rito began to chant the spirit of speech. In previous battles, he gave up singing the spirit of speech to strengthen his ability due to the rapid changes in the battle. This time it is a rare start. chant.

"Forbidden sacred container! Withered like scattered flowers!"

Yuuki Rito did not tell the origin of the Holy Grail, but spoke as if declaring it. Yuuki Rito pierced Athena's slender chest, who was not on guard because she took out her weapon, with a golden sword that was glowing brightly.

This trust made Yuki Rito pause slightly.

What was conveyed to Yuki Rito's right hand was not the feeling of tearing the goddess' body or divinity, but the conviction of piercing the divine tool that has been passed down since ancient times.

"Your golden sword... did it crack because it collided with the Holy Grail?"

Athena lowered her head, looked at the golden sword with most of the blade still outside because of her young posture at this time, noticed several cracks on it, and couldn't help asking this question.

Unlike Athena, Erika and others who knew that Yuuki Rito had a battle with the King of the End also observed Yuki Rito's weapon that had become like a shattered blade under the light at this moment, Combined with the injuries on Yuuki Rito's body, they gradually realized what kind of tragic battle Yuuki Rito had experienced before.

That was by no means an understated victory like Yuki Rito's performance. The King of the End is indeed a terrifying existence in the rumors. If the opponent really has immortality, with Yuuki Rito's current situation, the result of the battle will be matched again. Worrying.

I seem to owe a lot to Yuuki Rito.

Feeling the cessation of the function of the Holy Grail in her body, Athena showed an expression of admiration on her young face, this was the first time Yuki Rito saw it.

"It's just a Holy Grail. Apart from the attribute of being hard to damage, it doesn't have much outstanding features. The golden sword is not damaged by it. Although my golden sword looks like this now, in fact it has not improved. Minus, these cracks, um... can be regarded as showing its achievements."

Athena, who had turned into a girl in classical clothes again, pressed her chest. The golden sword there had disappeared, and no wound was left. Feeling the state of the Holy Grail in her body, Athena said.

"The Holy Grail in the concubine's body has been seriously injured and has stopped functioning. As a result, it is temporarily unable to absorb the life of the concubine's body."

"temporary?"

"The sun will continue to rise in the east and set in the west, repeating the cycle. Before this sacred tool is completely destroyed, even if its function is temporarily stopped, it will recover in a short time. Otherwise, the king of the end will not be the same for generations. The nightmare that haunts the godslayers, your sword can drive this immortal artifact to such an extent, it is already very remarkable, maybe it can break the fate of the godslayers of the past generations."

Athena looked at Yuuki Rito with a gentle smile in her eyes, as if she was relieved to see her junior grow up.

The Divine Sword of Salvation is the possession and weapon of the King of the End, and the Holy Grail is the prop to bring him back to the top.

Recalling that when he met the King of the End in the ancient world, his weak state of being able to deliver only one blow due to insufficient spell power, Yuuki Rito realized the importance of the Holy Grail.

Although fighting against a truly powerful opponent is what Yuuki Rito yearns for, but if there is a more powerful existence with unknown purpose that is watching in the dark...

Yuuki Rito hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"I need to confirm one thing, wait for me for a few minutes, and you, I have been worried that I didn't have a good rest before, and now I look sluggish, go to sleep quickly, and don't refute."

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Athena, and the second half of the sentence was addressed to Erica and the others.

Seeing that the God of Disobedience did not show hostility to Yuki Rito, who is a godslayer, because there was a god ancestor Anshera before, and the others were not surprised. Go back to your room to rest in a good mood.

Yuki Rito also temporarily left in one direction, and Athena, who had returned to her elegant girlish posture, was about to continue tasting the delicious dessert, when she suddenly seemed to notice something and walked towards the kitchen.

"System, can I inject my stored energy into that Holy Grail?"

"Can."

Yuki Rito, who was alone in the study, got the expected answer from the system.

He has long felt another special use of the system, the energy stored in it, although there is a lot of loss in the transmission process, but it seems to be versatile. Back then, Yuki Rito was a godslayer, and he was still in the Warring States period. There is still a small part of the energy stored at the intermediate level, and there is still no conflict with his current energy, which is already half of the Bengyu level.

Obviously, the mantra power has begun to change due to the continuous growth of Yuki Rito, and the same amount can produce far stronger effects than before.

Now the system's answer confirmed Yuuki Rito's guess.

The magic power or vitality plundered by the Holy Grail has a clear target group, which is the goddess of the earth.
