Chapter XXXVII: Before the Holy Grail

In the early morning, Liudong Temple-

"Ah, Berserker failed, of course. Anyway, the goal was achieved. Sakura said to herself. "In addition to urging, Zero also has the purpose of letting Kirizakura use up the spell, and it wouldn't be good if Kirizakura used the spell to make Sakura Misaka do something she didn't expect.

"Well, okay, after all this time, I've also adapted to the absorption of this darkness," the feeling of being poured with kitsch is not only felt by Sakura Misaka, Zero must be the first to bear the brunt, it is not easy to fight at all before adapting, and after slowly diverting the "evil of this world" to the first ball space, it feels much better, "Just wait for them to come, I'll rest first." ”

At this time, the huge whirlpool had subsided, and something like a hill seemed to have formed in the center of the black mud lake, and Zero, who was standing in front of the small mountain, sat down and immersed his whole body in the black mud. Only a pair of white sharp horns were exposed, and the black mud that was still gradually seeping into her body did not dye her pale body black a little, if it were a human being, it is estimated that it would have been completely devoured.

Two hours later-

"It's coming. A black cave opened at Zero's feet, which was the passage of the space in front of the "Heavenly Palace" - Huangquan Hirazaka. Then, she descended, and the figure disappeared into it. A moment later, Sakura Misaka, Sakura Makiri, Rin Tosaka, and Shirou Emiya arrived, and Illya was waiting at Emiya's house.

"What's that?" said Shirou, who came to the house, with a bad face.

"The magic is already so strong that it is materialized. Rin said.

"The black cave in front of you............ "Misaka Sakura knew what it was, so she planned to go over, and just took a step-

"Wait," Rin called out to her, "I'm afraid this is a Servant like an existence, and it's not good if you run into it as a Servant!"

"I know. But I'll have to deal with the body of the dark shadow you've seen, you're certainly no match for her, are you?, and the spell is gone, and I'm no longer restrained. Figure it out for yourselves. Sakura Misaka said, not to explain not to destroy the Holy Grail, as a human being, he does not have the ability to destroy the Holy Grail.

"Assassin......" Sakura hesitated. Say, "Be careful, don't lose." ”

"Yes," Sakura Misaka smiled, "Master—" and jumped into the shadow, which closed immediately.

In the Heavenly Palace, the ice space——

"It's coming!" Zero looked up and saw Sakura Misaka holding a jet-black sword in her hand. Swooping down from a high altitude, in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Zero-

Seeking Dao Jade and Yan Return――――

"Ding Ding Ding!" A flash in reality, two flashes in the multi-dimensional twist and turn phenomenon, were defended by the three Seeking Dao Jades respectively, but this attack was not over, and all the Seeking Dao Jades in the collision burst out with blue light-

"Boom Boom!" Qiu Daoyu exploded, and a strong explosion engulfed the two of them, followed by. Two tattered figures burst out of the intense flash, each flying upside down in opposite directions for a distance. only to stabilize his body. At this time, the Dao Seeking Jade suspended behind Zero was two less than Misaka Sakura, and it was obvious that the collision just now had suffered a loss.

"Speaking of which, your medium in the current world this time is Kojiro, so it's not surprising that you can do this, but," Zero eyelids jumped. Looking at Misaka Sakura's empty dead fish eyes, "Is it a heartless mode at the beginning?" That's right, in the face of an opponent like me who can read minds, it's taboo to consider strategy in battle. ”

Sakura Misaka couldn't hear Zero's words at all, and she surrounded her in her hand. The blue light ignited, and a more intense collision was about to begin............

……………………………………………………

Liudong Temple――

"Whew," Rin sighed, "that tricky shadow is gone, it's easy to do this, think about the current situation." ”

"This air is ............ than it was ten years ago," Shirou said.

"Well, that's the Holy Grail, isn't it? Rin said, "If this happens, is it because of the container?"

"What do you mean?" Shirou asked.

"Before I came, the real Assassin said, the so-called Illya of the Heroic Spirit we saw was actually a product of magic, although what she said was a little vague, but if it was a metaphor, it was the existence of attaching the power of the Heroic Spirit to the puppet. If you use that kind of stuff as a container, you're going to have problems. ”

"Questions?"

"That's why it's like this. Anyway, that 'Illya' should be somewhere in there, as the centerpiece of the false chalice. Just find out...... The problem is that the curse contained in this black mud requires a lot of magic to fight............" Rin said.

But at this moment, Shirou and Rin saw Sakura squatting in front of the black mud, and picked up a handful with their hands and rubbed it.

"What is this for, Sakura-chan!" Shirou and Rin said loudly at the same time, as if they were about to pounce on them if something was wrong.

"I seem to be able to adapt to this curse. In order to adapt to this "evil of this world", the magic circuit of the whole body naturally has to be transformed, because the engraved insects are not easy to make, and the dirty inkstone is a little painstaking.

"Here, let me go in and have a look. Sakura said, and walked directly into the black mud, and the strong curse seeped into her body, making her body a little uncomfortable, but this level, compared to the pain she suffered in the house, was nothing at all, but it still made her body change significantly-

The hair slowly turned white, the eyes turned red, a large number of red lines spread on the skin, and the body was gradually covered by darkness, as if the body was covered with a black coat.

"Stop, Sakura-chan, you're weird right now!" Rin shouted.

"Sakura-chan!" Shirou reached out and grabbed Sakura's hand in the hand, trying to pull her back.

"It's okay, brother. Sakura turned her head, "It doesn't seem bad now, something is calling me." ”

"Ahem," Chloe, who was at the heart of the pseudo-grail, suddenly clenched her stomach, "This is, unexpected." Do you crave her more than I do? I'm very hurt by the original grail artifact, first of all, I can't let them come, let's start, first of all, three, hold on, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm using you like this. ”

There was a wave of waves in the black mud, and the blackened Rider, blackened Caster, and blackened Gilgamesh appeared!

"What?!" the three of them were shocked.

"Although it was controlled, I didn't expect this king to use it against three little bastards," Gilgamesh spoke unhappily, as the most ancient king, two-thirds of the gods, how powerful he is, and he retains consciousness in this state-

The King's Treasure (GateofBabylon)――――

Suddenly, a piece of weapons that no longer flashed under the influence of the black mud, but were still gorgeous, burst out of the black mud!

At this time, the most shocked was Chloe, she knew that Gilgamesh was very strong, but she didn't expect that she was so strong that she was still conscious, and she attacked herself! Although she did such a thing according to Zero, she didn't kill them.
