I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Scathach's act of burning the spiritual base seems to have angered the "evil of this world" who wants to come to this world.

The black mud in the sky and the black mud on the ground suddenly became violent and boiling. More and more black mud pours out of the hole, as if it wants to expand the "hole" in this way and complete its descent.

But this is in vain.

Without Scathach's soul, the hole loses the possibility of continued expansion. The rules of space and the rules of the world constrain the "Black Sun" and prevent it from expanding further.

But now is not the time to feel at ease. Nearly ten minutes have passed since the "Black Sun" appeared. The black mud contaminated by the curse of "Evil in this World" formed a waterfall-like torrent, washing away the pre-arranged areas around the altar. dykes.

If the black mud is allowed to wash away like this, this simple embankment made of gullies and rocks will be washed away in two minutes at most.

"Please, Emiya-san, please, Saber - please destroy the Holy Grail."

There was no need for Justeza's request or Shinji's reminder. Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber, a pair of masters and slaves with very different styles of acting, but with similarities in their bones, were already prepared.

"Master, please use the Command Seal. Without it, I cannot destroy the Holy Grail."

This is not only the only way to rebel against the Holy Grail using the Servant body given by the Holy Grail, but it is also a necessary step for Saber, who has run out of magic power, to replenish her magic power.

"In the name of Emiya Kiritsugu——"

Upon receiving Saber's request, Kiritsugu opened his sleeves without any hesitation and revealed the command spell on his wrist to his servant.

"Saber, command with the Command Seal to destroy all black mud."

"Saber, use the second command spell to destroy the Holy Grail on the ground."

"Saber, with the third command spell, destroy the hole in the sky."

"I have indeed received your order."

Saber held the holy sword high, and the light that symbolized victory was dazzling than ever.

When the command of the Command Seal is completely consistent with the will of the follower, the follower will gain unimaginable growth.

At this moment, at this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu's will and Knight King Arturia's belief merged into one.

Not only them, but also Irisviel, Kuu Maiya, Justeza, and Matou Shinji, who also understood the nature of the Holy Grail and were looking forward to its destruction.

This prayer was gathered into the golden holy sword that lit up the night sky, prompting the King of Knights to loudly liberate the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

"Ex——calibur (sword of victory)!!"

The first beam of light was like a runaway wild horse, crossing half of Liudong Temple and rushing directly into the mud pond that blocked the black mud.

The black mud polluted by the curse could not withstand the roaring torrent of light. The scorching light destroyed the dam and completely evaporated the entire mud pond.

Immediately afterwards, the huge magic power given by the command spell was accelerated by the dragon factor and quickly converted into a second beam of light, which followed a similar trajectory to the first beam and accurately hit the golden cup floating above the altar.

The container that was once part of Irisviel's body quietly lost its shape and disappeared in the brighter light.

Irisviel opened her eyes wide and remembered this scene firmly in her heart - this was the turning point of her destiny. In the past, she lived as the container of the Holy Grail and the guardian of the Holy Grail. In the future, she lived as Irisviel, a human being. .

The use of the Noble Phantasm twice in a row pushed Saber's body to the limit, but the coercive power of the command spell and Saber's own will were still oppressing the body of the servant, and even the magic power to maintain the entity was extracted.

This is the final sword.

The golden sword he wielded swept away the darkness in the sky with its overwhelming firepower.

The "hole" with black mud constantly overflowing out, and the entire sky was split into two by the light of the holy sword.

This is the flood of light that makes everything disappear.

In the midst of that, the girl holding the sword accepted the fact that the battle was over.

"—That's it. My fight ends here."

This is not addressed to anyone.

The wielder of the holy sword bent his knees and stared at the light that contained thousands of thoughts——

The Holy Grail begins to collapse.

What she seeks should be something that can give her salvation.

But now he destroyed it with his own hands.

Ironic?

maybe.

Is the effort in vain?

No, without this encounter across time and space, without this encounter, perhaps I would always be obsessed with the desire to deny myself and all my companions - this result is enough.

"——The contract has been completed. It is your victory, Irisviel, Kiritsugu."

The holy sword became thinner, the body began to permeate, and without the support of magic power and contract, Artoria could no longer survive in this world.

"Saber—"

Irisviel stretched out her hand, trying to grab the knight who had been protecting her, but found that she couldn't grasp anything.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Irisviel. If possible, I would like to stay with you until your family is reunited. Unfortunately, I can no longer see you."

The transmutation did not stop, the body of the King of Knights could be blown away by the wind at any time, but her voice remained clear.

"But it doesn't matter. It's your words that will do the trick - Irisviel, you must be happy."

The night wind blew away, taking away the last trace of the girl's smile, leaving only the bond between her and the world - the scabbard named "Avalon".

Irisviel nodded vigorously. If she had a body, she would have cried. She held the hands of Kiritsugu and Maiya and nodded vigorously: "I, we will definitely be happy! Goodbye, Saber."

"Goodbye, Saber."

Shinji was also saying the same thing in his mind.

He was not only bidding farewell to the vanished Maiden King of Knights, he was also bidding farewell to the beautiful image that had been in his heart for more than ten years.

"Goodbye, King of Knights. May you get rid of the shackles of inhibition, step off the sword fence, and enter the ideal land. May you be happy as a young girl."

In the silent silence, a man stumbled into the temple. The red suit on his body was already in tatters, and his tie was half torn off. His originally handsome face was stained with blood and dust, his eyes were cloudy and crazy, and he kept mumbling.

"Holy Grail, where is the Holy Grail? Where is the Holy Grail? I must get the Holy Grail and reach the source——"

"The Holy Grail has disappeared, Tokiomi Tohsaka, everything is over."

For Sakura's sake, Justeza kindly stepped forward to remind her, but Tokiomi pushed her away hard.

"No, you are lying to me. The Command Seal is still there, and the Holy Grail must still be there, where it is, where it is - ah, the altar, it must be here."

In fact, he had already seen the light that destroyed the "hole", but the command spell in his hand still did not disappear, which gave him the last hope. He put everything on the line, and he did not want and could not accept the outcome of failure.

Tokiomi staggered over the temporary embankment, crossed the ground burned by the holy sword, and climbed up to the altar split into two by the torrent of light. During this process, he fell and stood up several times.

In the corner of the altar, he found a fragment of gold, which he held in his hands like a treasure.

"I've found it, I've found it, this is the Holy Grail."

No one noticed that the shadow hidden on the inner wall of the fragment was the black mud residue contaminated by "the evil of this world". Maybe the Little Holy Grail happened to bounce to the side when it was broken by the light of the Holy Sword, bringing a few drops of black mud with it. Escaped.

The black mud touched Tokiomi's hands along the broken pieces, and then penetrated into his body along the holes in his hands.

Gradually, Tokiomi felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. In a daze, he saw a dark space and heard all kinds of whispers. Although he couldn't hear them clearly, they carried an irresistible temptation.

Tokiomi laughed, laughed so hard that he shed tears and blood.

"It turns out this is the root. I've finally reached the root. I've finally reached the root."

PS: Currently, there are only two servants who directly challenge the Holy Grail. One is Saber. No matter which line or term he is in, he has used the Command Seal. The other is Joan of Arc, but Joan of Arc itself is a ruler representing the rules of the Holy Grail War, and her way of existence is very special. She is not a servant in a simple sense but borrows the body of a human girl; in addition, Joan of Arc only destroys the Holy Grail. 80%, and it is not the work of Mushroom, so it is considered a special case for the time being - at least Mushroom in Xingyue World is the boss, and others will take Mushroom as the standard when reading the book.
