The Ultimate Lich King

After Artoria got dressed, the two of them went to the chapel where Irisviel was placed.

The girl lying under the cross statue seemed to be sleeping quietly. Looking at his wife Ye Yu lying there with a gentle look on his face, he gently leaned over and held the girl's hand.

There was a look of envy on Saber's face, but there was no trace of jealousy at all. She moved closer and carefully observed Irisviel's body.

Soon, she discovered the key to the problem and frowned slightly.

"How about it, can you see what the problem is?"

"All I can see is magic power... Huge magic power is flowing through Irisviel's body, and these magic powers give me a very familiar feeling."

Arturia's face looked a little uncomfortable as she said this. This was indeed a very familiar magic power. It was the magic power of an opponent she had fought before.

Rider, Lancer...and the magic power mixed with the magic power of several other Servants.

"Why... is this happening? Irisviel's body is like a container... a container that carries the Servant's power and soul."

Listening to what Saber said, Ye Yu's face became a little ugly. Combined with what Irisviel often said to him in the past, he seemed to have vaguely understood something.

"The maker of the Holy Grail is Einzbern... and in order to carry the power of the Great Holy Grail, there is a Small Holy Grail... and this Small Holy Grail has always been kept by the Einzbern family. "

"Ye Yu, do you mean..."

"That's right... If nothing else happens, Einzbern's Little Holy Grail is in Irisviel's body..."

Ye Yu said this and clenched his fists. No wonder as the Holy Grail War got closer, Irisviel's state became more and more weird. It turned out that she had already known her ending and had prepared to die in advance. preparation.

"Too cunning... Ellie, what will I do if you die, what will Ilia do?! Do you think I will be the kind of bastard who doesn't care whether you live or die, and will make a wish to return to my own world after getting the Holy Grail?! "

Ye Yu said heartbrokenly as he hugged his wife's body tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die, absolutely not. I will get the Holy Grail, and then use the omnipotent wishing machine to revive you, absolutely!"

Holding his wife's weak body tenderly, Ye Yu made such an oath. Saber, who was standing aside and watching silently, showed a gentle and envious smile.

It's great... Ellie, to have a husband who loves you like this. I don’t know when I will be able to have the same status in his heart. I really...envy you.

When Irisviel opened her eyes again, the first thing that caught her eye was the light of the setting sun that dyed the lighting windows of the underground warehouse crimson.

Because he lost consciousness, it was as if the whole day had disappeared, and he had been falling into a deep sleep. Now the body that is gradually collapsing is not so much sleeping as it is entering a state of suspended animation.

A comforting warm feeling came from the palm of his hand, and beside him was Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu..."

Irisviel called softly, and Ye Yu, like a hound who heard the dog whistle, immediately turned his attention to Irisviel.

"What time is it now..."

"It's almost dark, Ai Li." Ye Yu replied gently.

"Really...how long have I been in a coma..." Irisviel said, her eyes looked very hollow and lifeless. This hollow and lifeless look made Ye Yu feel extremely heartbroken.

It's a pity that he can't do anything. All he can do is sit here and hold her hand to accompany his wife.

"You were in a coma for a whole day, and now you finally woke up."

As Ye Yu said this, he stretched out his hand to touch Irisviel's face. The girl's face was frighteningly cold and devoid of any warmth.

Ye Yu's palms were trembling as he stroked her again and again, his movements as gentle as holding fragile porcelain.

"Why are you crying? This is not like you, Ye Yu. My husband should be a man who remains extremely calm and wise no matter where he is."

"It's nothing, it's just that the wind and sand confused my eyes."

Ye Yu said this with some embarrassment, he turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Hey... don't be sad anymore. This ending has been doomed a long time ago. Ye Yu should also know it. I am the carrier of the Little Holy Grail. When the time is right, I will summon the Holy Grail. In this way, Ye Yu, you can realize your wish."

"Don't worry, I won't let you die, absolutely not!"

Listening to Irisviel's heart-wrenching speeches, Ye Yu was trembling. He couldn't even realize the idea of ​​hugging her tightly, because Irisviel was too weak, so weak that she seemed to use force casually. It will look like it will die.

"There is no need to be sad or sad, and there is no need to blame yourself. You are a very good husband. With my existence, it is really a great honor to be your wife."

"Thank you, thank you very much, but... it's enough. It's enough for a person like me to receive such love."

As Irisviel said this, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep because she was too weak, while Ye Yu just held the girl's hand gently, with a bitter smile on his face.

"I am the one who should be sorry. A man like me is extremely lucky to be able to marry a woman like you."

After placing a gentle kiss on Irisviel's face, Ye Yu flattened the girl's body again, and immediately stood up.

Flandre and Artoria stood outside the door, staring at Ye Yu with some worry.

"I'm fine, nothing happened at all."

Showing a faint smile to the two girls, Ye Yu straightened up and stared at the gradually dimming world outside the window in a daze.

"Get ready to go. It's time for this war to come to an end."

As Ye Yu said this, he lowered his head and looked at the scarlet mark engraved on his arm. The four command spells were shining brightly under the dim sunlight, emitting an ominous light.

You must also be impatient to wait, Emiya Kiritsugu... and the Hero King Gilgamesh.
