Chapter 127: The Tainted Grail

"My wife, Vir Gaia, haven't you invited your friends to our wedding?"

Gilgamesh asked, somewhat dissatisfied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the others who heard him say that name were shocked.

Will actually wants to marry this Heroic Spirit?

"I didn't agree. Maybe everyone's eyes were too rare, and Wei Wei rarely explained.

"Don't be so anxious to refuse, you have excellent qualities in this world, only this king is qualified to be your partner, and we will all be together sooner or later. As if speaking of an established fact, Gilgamesh's words were full of naturalness.

Although Saber, who participated in the last war, is also here, he is now only focusing on Vivi alone.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course it's to stop you, although it's not a physical object, it's a magic array that maintains the existence of our Servant, and if you destroy it, all the Heroic Spirits, including this king, will disappear. ”

Vivi wants to destroy the ritual magic circle of the Great Holy Grail?

Shirou and the others' eyes were once again focused on Vivi, and Saber's eyes were not only puzzled but also hostile, if the Holy Grail was destroyed, then her wish would not be granted.

The War Gate emerged, and countless prayers surrounded the underground space, and at the same time, the War Gate also flew to the rock formation above and shone like the sun.

"What's that?"

There was a wider, larger hole in the ground not far in front of them, or rather, Shirou was just the top of a large cliff where they were.

At the bottom of the cliff, a trace of black smoke appeared from below because of the light, and the black smoke came from the sound of prayers completely different from the overhead, full of malicious curses.

"Below, is the truth of the so-called Holy Grail. ”

Saber, who had more or less guessed something, stepped forward and looked down, only to find that there was only endless darkness beneath the cliff and beneath the beneath the ground.

No, no, it's not darkness, it's magic with an evil nature!

"What's going on?" Rin covered her mouth slightly, unable to believe that the magic stored in the Holy Grail Ritual was extremely evil.

"Mom...... Not here......"

Illya muttered that her mother, Alice Phil, who had been transformed into a Holy Grail in the last war, might still be asleep in the Great Holy Grail, and that she had been naïve enough to think so, but reality had taught her what reality was and what was delusion.

"In the Third Holy Grail War, in order to win the Einz Belen, he summoned the forbidden eighth rank Avenger (Avenger), but the Avenger itself was just a young man who was imposed on the 'evil of this world' and did not have great power, so on the fourth day of the Holy Grail War, the defeated soul was sucked into the Holy Grail.

At the same time, he was also inhaled by the 'evil of this world' carried in his soul, and the originally pure sea of magic was polluted by the 'evil of this world' and became a sea of curses.

Now the way in which the Holy Grail fulfills its wishes, influenced by these evil thoughts, will only be fulfilled in the worst way. ”

As if hearing Vivi introduce its origin, a wave appeared in the sea of magic under the cliff.

"During the last Holy Grail War, Saber, your predecessor Master (Imperial Master) Emiya Kiritsugu discovered this astonishing fact, even if he knew that the Holy Grail that had manifested was in front of him, even if he knew that the Holy Grail was made by his beloved wife Alice Phil, he did not hesitate to use the Command Charm to make you destroy the Holy Grail, because only you who are real spirits can touch the Holy Grail. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu?!

When Illya and Shirou heard the name, their faces changed, the former with sadness and hatred on their faces, and the latter shocked that their adoptive father had actually participated in the Holy Grail War.

"A large amount of curses flowed out of the destroyed chalice, turned into a fire and destroyed the city, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who didn't expect this to happen, searched through the ruins, and finally found the only surviving child in that place, and that was you, Shirou. ”

Shirou nodded with a complicated expression, he knew that the fire ten years ago was caused by the Holy Grail War, and he didn't think that the curse flowing from the Holy Grail was the culprit.

And the ripples of the sea of magic below became even more obvious.

"After adopting Shirou, Emiya Kiritsugu once tried to go back to the Einzberen house to pick up his daughter, Illyasfil von Einzberen......"

"Impossible!" said an angry Illya interrupted Vivi's description, "He never looked for me, he abandoned me and my mother!"

Illya, who would become a human, was less strong and more weak, tears flowed from her crimson eyes, and the deep love she once had for Kiritsugu had now turned into hatred.

"Probably...... That's not true. Shirou said to Illya, who should be his sister, "When I was just adopted, my father went away a few times, and Illya's hometown was in Germany, right, and every time he had a ticket, the destination was there......

"Liar!"

Illya clearly couldn't accept this outcome, and she had been supporting herself with her hatred for Emiya Kiritsugu for ten years, both when she was undergoing magic transformations and when she was suffering to get used to controlling Berserker.

Now tell her that the person she hates has always loved her, and that she has been misunderstanding her father for ten years, how can this make her face such a reality.

"You liar! You liar! You must liar!"

Rin and Sakura, who are also women, and Rider can understand Illya's feelings, the feeling of not wanting to lose the purpose of the action.

Saber remembered what Illya looked like when she was a child, and she didn't expect Kiritsugu to never see Illya for the last time until she died.

Shirou didn't know what to say, and he knew that it was useless for him to say anything now.

Pushing away Sakura's support, the girl who lost her support fell to the ground and shouted, which made Gilgamesh, who was watching the play on the side, start to frown, but regardless of whether the other party was a woman or not, a thought A sword appeared from the golden ripples behind him and was held in his hand, and he was about to throw it in the next and instant.

"Liar! You all ...... Ah~"

Illya was suddenly hugged and screamed in surprise.

Illya, who was forcibly held in Vivi's arms, wanted to struggle, but she didn't have enough strength to become a real human just now, and even if she regained her strength, she couldn't compare to Vivi, whose strength had reached the level of a Heroic Spirit.

"Emiya Kiritsugu was also contaminated with black mud by the curse on the day the Holy Grail was destroyed, and he has been fighting against countless curses, but he is just an ordinary human being, and he is weakening day by day, and he can't even break through the barrier of the Einzberen family, until five years ago, he stopped breathing in front of Emiya Shirou. ”

It's not that he doesn't want to see his daughter, but he no longer has the ability to break through the barrier.

Recognizing this fact, Illya, who truly accepted the result, finally loosened the knot in her heart and cried loudly.

"Illya-chan ......" Sakura looked at the crying girl in Vivi's arms with relief, silently happy for her.

Sure enough, it is the woman that this king has a crush on.

Gilgamesh wants Vivi to be his wife more and more, and as the king, he unconsciously shows a smile that is enough to charm thousands of girls.

Ji!

A scream suddenly sounded from under the cliff, directly breaking the warm atmosphere of the scene.

"What's that?"

Rin noticed that a figure surrounded by black mist under the cliff was rushing upward, and asked in passing while being vigilant.

"That's a product of having some Heroic Spirit power without summoning the Heroic Spirit itself—the Shadow Servant!" Archer said in surprise, "Although these Shadow Servants are very weak, how can such a thing appear here without summoning a magic circle?"

"Presumably the tainted Holy Grail summoned itself, and Will's purpose was guessed by it!" Rin directly used the magic bullet in the hope that this would hinder the Shadow Servant's progress.

"Sakura, please. ”

"Yes!"

Vivi handed Illya, who was still crying, to Sakura, and then went to the edge of the cliff to prepare for battle.

Sakura took Illya, who was still limb and retreated, only she and Illya had no combat power, and she knew that she couldn't be a burden to Shirou and them.

The battle is about to begin!
