Let the White Bull rewind to the time when Freya and Sonia met on the street.

Tamashi saw Sonia's appearance clearly from a distance and couldn't help but frowned: "Why is there another one..."

Freya: "What?"

"In the first scene after we separated, I met a red-haired swordsman who looked similar to this one. I thought it was the Sword Princess that Ash knew, so I went up to her and asked, 'Are you the Sword Princess?' But she was so angry that she was shaking, shouting, 'I'm not the Sword Princess' and chasing me. I felt that I might have offended her, so I didn't fight back and just fled to other scenes to avoid her."

"This is indeed your fault." The Veela nodded seriously, "Are all red-haired swordsmen swordsmen Ash's lovers? How is that possible? If there is such a shortcut, I will dye my hair and learn swordsmanship tomorrow."

Tamashi thought so too, but she took another look and said, "But this one really looks like the Sword Princess that Ash transformed into before..."

"Impossible, impossible. You've read the diary. Sword Princess and the others are now legendary magicians. They can't enter the Faraway Space at all. How could we possibly meet Sword Princess here?" Freya shook her head repeatedly. "Now that magicians from the six countries have gathered together, it's not surprising that a few red-haired swordsmen appear."

As they were talking, Sonia had already arrived in front of them. In order to repay the help of the Astral Body, Tamashi and Freya attacked Sonia at the same time.

However, Sonia did not fight with them. She stepped on the wall and passed them directly, saying casually: "I'm going to help him. If you want to die, catch up with me."

Sonia also saw that Ash had helped them out, and she had no interest in destroying Ash's sudden kindness. But if these two heard that she was going to Ash and wanted to fight, she wouldn't mind helping Ash clean up this ungrateful trash.

"Hey?" The Veela was startled, then immediately chased after him and said, "We want to go too! He helps us, and we want to help him too!"

"Yeah." Tamashi nodded.

Sonia glanced at the fragments of the Holy Grail in Freya's arms. Most of them were already there. She didn't need to snatch the complete Holy Grail. She could collect all the fragments by continuing to plunder the fragments of the magicians. From this point of view, her words of helping Ash were indeed convincing, because there must be the most magicians gathered near Ash. The closer she got, the more dangerous it would be, and she could even distract Ash from the pressure.

As for Tamashi, although her figure was very thin, Sonia could clearly feel her determination and righteousness. This was the mutual induction between combat magicians. The more reckless the combat maniac was, the more he could feel the will of his kind. This kind of determination often appeared in swordsmen, but the witch Sonia could not feel it. Compared with the exhilarating battle, the witch enjoyed the execution under complete control more.

A magician with such a keen mind must be consistent in his words and deeds, otherwise his keen mind will rust and his magic may never be improved.

"Okay, follow me!" Sonia nodded, turned around and saw a group of greedy magicians rushing towards her, so she killed them all, which made Tamashi and Freya's eyes sparkle.

"You are so strong!" Freya said excitedly: "My name is Freya, her name is Tamashi, what's yours?"

Tamashi opened her mouth but gave up. Shivlin and Annan repeatedly told her not to reveal her real name in the virtual world and to use a code name, but the Veela nodded every time and forgot every time.

Sonia wanted to use a code name, but they all seemed to use their real names, and if she still said the code name, she would seem too cautious: "My name is Sonia."

"Sonia!" Freya asked crisply, "Tamashi just met someone who looked very similar to you. Are there many red-haired female swordsmen in your area?"

Sonia blinked, thinking that Tamashi had met Nia from the Stars. However, the Stars Kingdom was still a secret, so she naturally wouldn't reveal it, so she said, "Yes, there are many red-haired swordsmen over there, and there are many who look like me."

Freya and Tamashi suddenly realized that there was something wrong with using a red-haired swordsman as the criterion for Sword Princess, so they suppressed the idea of ​​asking. After all, Sword Princess, as a legendary magician, was unlikely to appear here, and now they knew that red-haired swordsmen were a very common image, so naturally they would not ask everyone if you were Ash's lover.

They couldn't recognize the name Sonia. After all, Ash always wrote "Sonia" in his diary and never wrote her real name.

"Why do you want to help him?" Freya asked, "Did he help you too, so you owe him?"

"No, he owes me." Sonia raised her eyebrows, "and he owes me a lot."

"He's gone inside. I'll go first and you guys follow."

…

…

In the bank lobby, although Ash was full of questions, he couldn't ask a single question. At this time, several other walls of the bank had been smashed through, and magicians poured in from all directions.

"Freya is on the left, Tamashi is on the right, and I'll be in the front," Sonia quickly arranged, "The dog man will coordinate in the middle."

Ah? Ash was startled, and then realized that Sonia wanted to conceal his name. After all, if he could obtain the Holy Grail, then he would naturally reveal as little personal information as possible.

However, he vaguely felt that Freya and Tamashi didn't seem to recognize him... This was evident from the fact that they were more intimate with Sword Princess. But it was not a big problem, he could just wait until he left the astral body and then they would recognize each other.

But why do you call me a dog man? Isn’t the nickname “Viewer” okay?

Ash looked up and met Sonia's gaze, and saw that Sword Princess' eyes were slightly narrowed, with a half-smile on her lips. The sharp look in her ruby ​​eyes made Ash feel guilty.

What? I am pure and innocent, conservative and self-respecting both in reality and in the virtual world. Don't slander me!

"The Holy Grail is inside!"

The war broke out instantly, and the three retreated to the door of the vault to fight against the magician thugs from all directions. Needless to say, Sonia's swordsmanship was still improving even in the battle, or it could be said that the effect of her accumulated learning in the past few months was gradually exerted. Her swordsmanship was perfect and sharp, and she was almost invincible, infinitely close to the legendary realm!

But what surprised Ash even more was Freya and Tamashi!

Tamashi no longer relied on her Gray Fox blade. She held a huge Mitsubishi shield in her left hand, which would spin at high speed when defending, and could be used as a turbine for cutting, as violent as a meat grinder. She held a rapier in her right hand, which could pierce the enemy's throat and eyeballs quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, as vicious as a scorpion's tail.

Honestly, I don't recommend her way of relying on strange weapons to improve her combat power, after all, it is difficult to improve her magic. But when I think of Tamashi's inhuman physical talent, who can fight against a Saint Realm magician with a mortal body, Ash feels that even if she hits someone with Lala Fei, she may be able to reach a legendary level.

If Tamashi's fighting power was something Ash had expected, then Freya was completely beyond his imagination. At first glance, it seemed that Veela's fighting style was punching and kicking, and the magicians attacked by her would be thrown out. At first, Ash thought that Veela specialized in fists and claws, but after a closer look, he found that her fists and kicks did not hit the opponent's body at all!

The other party flew out by himself!

This was certainly not an act. Ash saw it clearly. When the Veela hit him, the opponent began to feel severe discomfort and pain. Before the Veela could touch him, the opponent hurt himself and flew out.

Freya's attainments in the spiritual faction have reached the point where she can hypnotize the other person's body to produce a physiological reaction of "I am being beaten up", turning the "fantasy" that never happened into "reality"!

He simply could not imagine how Freya, who was not a magician half a year ago, the veela who did not even have a magic spirit, had walked step by step to become a capable Sanctuary magician.

That’s…great.

Although Ash still had many confusions in his mind, such as how Tamashi knew Freya, and how they knew Sword Lady...but when he saw the confidence on Freya's face and Tamashi's usual high spirits, he felt that these were all trivial matters.

It was that Ash felt a little sad to find that his friends were secretly becoming better.

As the coordinator, Ash didn't have many opportunities to act. He just needed to help them plug some loopholes.

boom!

Suddenly, a strange ripple of light appeared behind him. The ripple ignored all obstacles and everything faded after passing by. After a while, it returned to its original state. Ash turned his head to look at the vault and found that the rainbow holy grail that was shining brightly just now had turned into pure black and white. It was not dazzling, but it made people unable to look away.

Sonia and Ash looked at each other, and Ash nodded slightly, opened the vault and went in. The three of them continued to guard outside. Freya immediately took Sword Princess' arm and said, "Sonia, Sonia, was that person your lover just now?"

The Claw Sword Master was a little unaccustomed to the Veela's familiarity: "I guess so."

"What do you mean by considered?"

"Because he is still in the probation period, I am very dissatisfied with him. I have to wait and see his subsequent performance!" Sonia couldn't help but snorted when she thought of Niya.

"What will happen if the probation period ends?" Freya asked worriedly, "Will you stop loving him?"

"Of course not. If you fail the probation period, then you will enter the punishment period!" Sonia bit her lower lip: "Until I fuck him to my satisfaction!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" The Veela nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling. "Can you teach me? Although I am very satisfied with my lover, I also hope that he can become better!"

"No problem. I'm only in the planning stage. We can discuss it when we have time."

Tamashi watched Sonya accept Freya so quickly, thinking that this might be the special talent of the Veela. In their team, the relationship between Shivlin, Annan and Tamashi was not actually harmonious, but they all had a good relationship with the Veela, especially when Tamashi first joined the team. Freya hated Tamashi the most, but it was also Freya who became friends with her the fastest.

It seemed that after Freya decided to abstain from sex with men, all her charm was directed to her same-sex friends.

…

…

Ash entered the vault and saw Fili holding the pale holy grail motionless. The holy grail was already filled with pale nectar, and the surface tension reached its peak. He blinked a few times, but Fili did not respond, so he had to reach out and take the holy grail.

Yes, Ash decided to drink the Lost Holy Grail himself and would not share it with Fili. Even though Sword Lady was outside, he still decided to eat alone.

After all, even if Ash is willing to share it with Fili, she is not a magician, so it would be a waste if she drank it; Sword Princess can of course drink it, but Ash has to face the Trial of Hell, so allocating resources to him is the top priority now.

And Ash also has to consider Fili's feelings. Fili might be happy if he drank it, but if he and Sword Lady shared the Lost Holy Grail and Fili didn't get to drink a drop, to use an inappropriate metaphor, it would be like using your lover's money to support your wife. Ash wanted to kill himself just thinking about it.

But just as Ash took the Faded Holy Grail, a drop of Faded Nectar spilled out and dripped onto his left hand.

Boom!

It was as if his soul was hit by a heavy hammer, and Ash fell to the ground in a daze, and Fili finally broke out of the frozen state. She ignored the Holy Grail and hurriedly helped Ash up: "Just now I couldn't move at all, until you touched the Holy Grail... your hand!"

Ash looked at his left hand, which was gradually turning into nothingness. It wasn't disappearing, but fading away bit by bit, like color dissolving in water.

"The Source Angel wants to kill all the magicians around the demon." He immediately figured out the cause and effect: "The demon cannot condense the Colorless Holy Grail by itself, and it cannot move even after condensing it. It must be touched by others. At this time, the Colorless Holy Grail will overflow and fade the color of the magician who can touch the demon... Obviously, the one who can touch the demon at this time must be the magician the demon trusts the most!"

Ash slowly backed up to the safe door of the vault, with a wry smile on his face: "Is this probably the fate of a greedy magician?"

"What should I do then!?" Fili said anxiously: "Your hand is almost gone!"

"I don't know. I feel like my soul arm is gone..." Ash slid down the vault door to the ground. He glanced at the gap in the door lock area and subconsciously stretched his hand out through the gap. "I don't know much about the soul."

At this time, Sonia outside saw Ash's outstretched hand and realized that something must have happened inside. But the magicians outside knew that the Lost Holy Grail had been completed, and their offensive became more and more crazy. She couldn't leave at all. At most, she could kill the magicians while holding Ash's hand.

"There must be a way!" Fili turned her head and looked at the faded Holy Grail floating in the air behind her: "If you drink from the Holy Grail, is it possible to heal your soul?"

Ash shook his head. "I doubt that if other magicians touch the Holy Grail, the nectar will spill out."

"I'll feed you!" Fili took the Holy Grail and poured it into Ash's mouth. However, the law of gravity suddenly failed at this moment, and not a single drop of the nectar fell. Not only that, even if Ash stretched out his tongue to lick it, the nectar would actively avoid it!

Ash was stunned when he saw this scene, and almost wanted to laugh out loud: "Only demons can drink from the Holy Grail, no one else can touch it. It seems that the nectar can really save faded souls. The source angels really took great pains to prevent us from surviving."

"Why aren't you panicking at all!" Fili said anxiously and angrily, "You're almost dying!"

Ash glanced at his body. The fading had spread to his chest. This feeling was quite strange, watching himself disappear bit by bit. Yes, he was going to die, so why wasn't he afraid?

At this moment, Ash felt Sword Lady holding his hand slightly tightly. Although there was no warmth, the familiar touch instantly soothed all the restlessness in Ash's heart.

"Because Sword Princess is right outside the door."

Ash blinked. "When we met, Sword Princess recognized me at first sight. Whenever I think of this, I feel like death isn't so scary after all."

Fili was startled, glanced at his hand that was stretched out from the gap, lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "In fact, there is a way that may allow you to drink the nectar."

Ash was stunned for a moment, looked at Fili, and then realized what she meant, and even vaguely knew what she was thinking.

If Ash hadn't told her that Sword Princess was outside, Fili might have directly implemented this method. But after knowing this, Fili gave the choice back to Ash.

Actually, there is nothing to think about. Survival is more important than anything else. Besides, I can drink the color-destroying nectar, which will make me more secure in the future when I face the trial of hell. But... but...

Ash was extremely conflicted and held Sword Lady's hand tightly.

After a moment, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and winked at Fili.

He has to be responsible for Fili, Nia, Rose, Igula and Harvey, and even more so for the future of Sword Princess and the Witch! He must step over the trap set by the Source Angel. For them, there is nothing he cannot give up!

Fili leaned down and took another look at Ash's hand stretched out of the door, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. She raised her neck, raised the holy grail and drank, and this time the colorless nectar flowed into her mouth obediently until Fili's cheeks puffed up.

Fili stared at Ash, the strange feeling in her heart became more and more intense. She held Ash's face, lowered her head gently, and passed the colorless nectar into him.

Outside, Sonia felt Ash's hand suddenly clenched very tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave. She was also anxious and wanted to go in to see what happened, but she had to guard the door, so she could only rub Ash's hand slightly to comfort him and snorted softly, "You bastard."
