25. Heroism and children's love

Shinji Maki died just as he was about to successfully purify the Holy Grail, and Mine Kiri was still alive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it weren't for Arthur rushing out in time and spreading his protective shield with a blue and white scabbard to block the overwhelming storm of missiles, we would have been caught off guard, but I was afraid that most of them would have died here.

But even so, Yan Feng Qili's seemingly endless missile storm still feels very tricky.

Even if he doesn't use a protective shield, Arthur, who is a top-level heroic spirit, is actually not afraid of magic at this level, because the "Swordsman" class itself has a high magic resistance, and he is the strongest among swordsmen, ignoring any magic attacks at all. But if he can bear it, it doesn't mean that we can bear it, and in the face of countless magic missiles, everyone can't come up with any good way for a while.

Defense? In the face of the intensive bombardment of the missile storm, except for Arthur's treasure "Ideal Town", there is really no other treasure that can withstand such a terrifying attack.

Counterattack? If you want to fight back, you must first remove the protection of the "ideal township".

Then the result is still the same, without the protection of the "Ideal Township", it will not take half a second, and there will be a few more broken corpses here.

Therefore, even Sakura Makiri, who was so angry that her whole body trembled, could only grit her teeth and look at Yan Feng Qili, who was standing in front of the Holy Grail and smiling, helpless.

"Yan Feng, you're not dead yet?" Emiya Shirou carefully looked at the evil priest who was openly naked, and asked suspiciously, "I obviously saw Tosaka and her servants sealing you in that strange crystal box. ”

"'Yan Feng Qili' has long been dead." The naked man replied with a sneer, "Ten years ago, he participated in the Fourth Fuyukicho Holy Grail War as one of the seven magicians, and when the battle was about to be decided, he was shot in the heart by another magician, Emiya Kiritsugu, and died instantly. ”

"But he fought us not long ago!"

"It's just something that inherits the will of the 'Yanfeng Qili', and like me, it's something that was produced from the Holy Grail after absorbing the Yanfeng Qili."

"It's funny, that guy, who was recognized by the Holy Grail that gathered 'all the evils of time', not only resurrected the dead body, but was even given the ability to resurrect from 'evil' no matter how many times it was destroyed."

"Hah...... It's like the Holy Spirit......"

The naked guy, with his back to the sky, laughed wildly.

Well, is assimilation with "all the evils of the world" something to celebrate and rejoice in?

I found it really hard to understand the way these magicians were thinking.

Looking at the comrades-in-arms, everyone was also disgusted, obviously very uninterested in that guy.

Very good, sure enough, my mind is closer to a normal person!

Congratulations!

Emiya Shirou didn't seem to be going to talk nonsense with the obviously insane "Yan Feng Qili MKII.", he was silent for a few seconds, ignoring the naked man who was still laughing wildly, and asked his servant, "Saber, using the Noble Phantasm consumes mana, right?" How much longer can you hold out? ”

"Don't underestimate people, just if you use it to this extent, it's no problem to hold on for more than ten hours!" Arthur replied confidently, "I can guarantee that the guy who relied on the Holy Grail to release magic missiles like this will definitely not last until then!" ”

"It would be strange if the Holy Grail could exist for ten hours!"

"It's just a pity that I made that wish...... Emiya Shirou sighed and said to me apologetically, "Kazuya-kun, it seems that we can't fulfill our promise." ”

What a shame!

Damn Yan Feng, he still can't live even if he dies!

He should have been dragged out of hell and bounced a hundred times, a hundred times!

Bang!

There was a loud bang, and Yan Feng, who was laughing wildly, was blown into a cloud of black scum.

"No wonder the Yan Summit that was blocked by the partition crystal was abnormal, it turned out that you guy was doing the trick!" A crack opened in the space, and Ayaka Sandao, wearing a black tights like a comic book thief, jumped out of the gap, "Fortunately, I can project the treasure that cuts the space, otherwise wouldn't you have successfully escaped!" ”

"I won't let him escape!" Rin Tosaka, who was still dressed in red and black, jumped out, "A guy like him who is completely rotten, if he can't be caught and used to exert his residual heat, at least he should be cleaned up as garbage - this is my responsibility as the manager of Fuyuki Town!" ”

As she spoke, she leaned her face to Ayaka Sastripo and smiled slyly.

"Ayaka, you're going to help me, right?"

Sajo Ayaka looked at Rin Tosaka beside her, and then at us, her gaze stayed on Arthur for a while, her eyes seemed to darken, and then her gaze moved to Sakura Makiri, and gradually became gentle, but when she saw Shirou Emiya beside Sakura Makiri, it turned into a wry smile again.

"Alas......" with a long sigh, the female version of Emiya Shirou from a different time and space in the future muttered two sentences in a language I didn't understand, and then gently hugged Rin Tosaka, "Although I don't want to get along with you as a woman, I can do whatever you want me to do for you if you need it-just don't hurt others, especially- I really don't want to see you sisters get into trouble." ”

It's too late to say that......

And, is now the time to chat?

Of course not!

Yan Feng Qili, who was bombarded into a mess, quickly returned to its original state.

"I didn't expect you to have reinforcements - but it doesn't matter, if you want to fight a sea of people, I have an absolute advantage!" His face was already covered with black veins, and he couldn't see any expression, just a gaping mouth, as if he was laughing, "Come out, my servants!" ”

The black sludge exploded violently, splattering into countless droplets of mud and falling to the ground, turning into a human form.

I saw the faces of Achilles, Okada Izo, Monk Grinqin and others, but they were all expressionless at the moment, and their whole bodies had become a pitch-black mess, and even their movements were dull.

"Look, this is the power of the Holy Grail! I can summon all the Heroic Spirits that have been absorbed by the Holy Grail! Not only that, as long as they are touched by my black mud, the Heroic Spirit will be contaminated immediately, and will soon become my subordinates! Looking at Tsuruhime and Medusa, whose faces had changed greatly because they were stained with black mud, and who were fighting fate to resist the invasion with magic power, Yan Feng Qili laughed proudly.

However, his pride did not last long.

Relying on the protection of the Ideal Township, Arthur was not touched by the black mud, he held the Ideal Township in his left hand and the steel sword in his right hand, and slaughtered among the dark heroes like a whirlwind.

A sword!

No matter what kind of Heroic Spirit, he only needs a sword!

The Steel Slashing Sword once again bloomed with dazzling white light, and the dark heroes who held all kinds of treasures were powerless in front of this magical sword.

One sword, one at a time!

Those dark heroes, if they hadn't lost their minds, might have been able to fight Arthur, but it's a pity that they were all polluted by black mud and had become puppet-like things, and there were often obvious flaws in their shots, and under Arthur's sword, such flaws were fatal!

It took less than a minute for Arthur to rush in front of Yan Feng Qili and drop with a sword.

There was no suspense, Yan Feng Qili, who had turned into a black monster, was cut into two sections.

But Arthur's face did not become relaxed, because the black mud immediately disintegrated, and not far away it converged into the appearance of Yan Feng.

"What a troublesome fellow......" the knight in golden armor muttered to himself, swinging his sword again, slashing Yan Feng under his sword.

Of course, the result is still like this, but Yan Feng has been resurrected in a different place.

Then the battle entered a stalemate, Arthur killed Yan Feng - Yan Feng was resurrected - Arthur killed again......

Although I admired and admired Arthur's might, it was not the way to fight like this - could Arthur's magic withstand it?

Looking at Arthur's life, I felt like I was a little worried.

However, companion battles, I'm watching from the back - that's not my style!

Up up to help? It doesn't seem to make much sense......

Arthur alone was enough to fight Yan Feng Qili without the power to fight back; Shirou Emiya and Ayaka Sajo project a number of strange treasures, and together with Rin Tosaka, who uses gem magic, to force the group of dark heroes to be unable to approach in a way similar to the king's treasure; Injured by Yan Feng's surprise attack just now, Tsuru Ji and Medusa, who were stained with black mud, are trying to resist the erosion of "all the evil in the world"; Bazette, who had regained her composure, sacrificed her backlight sword, but for a while she couldn't find a suitable target - because her backlight sword had to fight back when the opponent used a powerful Noble Phantasm in order to really have an effect; Sakura is using magic to help Tsuruhime and Medusa expel the black mud, but she hasn't seen any effect yet......

The only thing that looked relaxed was Haruhi, who stood in front of us, looking at Yan Feng, who was constantly disintegrating, and sneered.

All but the first wave of black mud had fallen a step or two away from her for some reason, and not a single drop could flyβ€”as if there was an invisible wall there.

…… It seems like I'm superfluous, O Bazet, and we're in sympathy......

"Kazuya, what are you doing in a daze?" Kasuga suddenly shouted angrily, "Go and clean that guy!" ”

Cleanse? How do I do this kind of thing? I don't know that!

"Isn't your Holy Light Qi the best at purifying evil and darkness and the like? Even the curse of the Immortal King can be purified, so there's no reason why you can't purify even a single residue of evil! ”

Please, no matter how powerful I am in the future, I can't move to the current me!

"If it's a man, don't push it off, I'm sure you can do it!"

Well, since you, the god, have said so......

I rushed out, using my spiritual power to form a shield around my body, blocking the black mud that splashed from time to time, and stood in the magic array that was still faintly shining.

I also said before that to purify the Holy Grail, the best choice is the holy attribute, followed by the light attribute, and finally the water attribute, my attribute is said to be more suitable for purification than Shinji, but - what should I do?

I tried to radiate my spiritual power, but I didn't touch anything.

"Magic! Convert to Magic Mode! Haruhi's voice came from behind him, "You should remember how magic works, right?" ”

Of course I do...... How could I have forgotten the events of that day......

Forcing myself not to think about the glamorous things, I tried to remember the way the magic flowed in my body.

Roughly, that's how it works......

Suddenly I felt invisible pressures around my body, and then the power in my body that had shifted patterns was sucked out endlesslyβ€”even so, I could still feel them, and I could manipulate them.

It's an incredible feeling!

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the remaining blue light had all turned into a pure white with a hint of golden light.

Not far in front of me, a blue figure was looking at me.

Shinji Makiri.

"You...... Is this your soul? ”

"Yes, I'm not willing to die without being able to purify the Holy Grail." Shinji's soul shook like a ripple of water, and his inner voice came, "But with you to take over, I can finally rest assured." ”

This guy, everyone is dead, and he still wants to purify the Holy Grail......

"The contamination of the Holy Grail is the fault of our Fuyuki Town, so of course we should be put to rest." Sensing my sigh, Shinji smiled and explained, "Illya of the Einzberen family can die, why can't I?" ”

"Our Tong family, isn't the backbone even as good as them?"

"So, thank you very much for helping me fulfill this last wish!"

…… Forget it, it's good that he's satisfied......

"What should I do?"

"Use magic to cleanse the entire Holy Grail, as long as the black mud is separated from the Holy Grail, Yan Feng will be finished, and the purification work will be completed."

It doesn't sound that hard......

A few minutes later, as the desperate Yan Feng was cut down by Arthur for the last time, the last trace of black mud here finally turned into a transparent crystal under the purification of my magic power.

The Holy Grail of Restoration and Cleansing glows with a dazzling golden light, echoing the powerful magic that flows from the hole leading to the "Root of the World".

It seems, really omnipotent......

I looked back at everyone.

"Now, can you make a wish?"

"Of course not!" The answer to me was Rin Tosaka, who seemed to be very low-key during this time, "I also have a wish to come true!" ”

…… Do you still want to fight? I sighed and re-energized my power back into spiritual mode.

If you want to fight, you can fight, there are so many of us, and there is an unbelievably strong Arthur, how can we not lose to you!

"But I don't think we can afford any more fighting." Rin Tosaka looked at us with a smile and pointed out his finger at the obvious cracks in the wall, "Although the Einzberen family has repeatedly reinforced this basement, after we fought a big battle, no matter how strong the building is, it is almost to the limit, if we fight again, I am afraid that everyone will be buried alive." ”

"Do you have any good ideas?" Sakura asked unceremoniously, "If it's an idea for us to give up, then it's better not to speak, I'd rather collapse this place and bet with you who will be crushed to death than give you the Holy Grail!" ”

"I know you don't give in that easily, so I have another suggestion." Rin Tosaka said and took out a golden gem, "This is a gem made by the great teacher of our family back then, which can create an independent space - a dueling arena, two people can enter, and only one can come out." ”

"Let's decide the winner in a battle, you and me, how about it?"

Sakura sneered and was about to answer, but Emiya Shirou preemptively spoke up in front of her, "I'll fight you, Tosaka-san." ”

"Let the pregnant wife go desperately, hide behind herself and wait for the result, such a man may have, but it is definitely not me!"

Tosaka was stunned for a moment, looked at Sakura in surprise who was covered by Emiya Shirou and couldn't speak, and then looked at Shirou, who had a serious expression and absolutely no joke, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You guy, you're really enviable......" She seemed to throw out the gem with a little regret, turning into a golden door of light, "Well, I'm not going to lose anyway!" ”

However, a figure rushed through the Gate of Light before she did.

It's Sajo Ayaka.

"Hey! How can you do that! Rin Tosaka gave a rare look of panic, "What are you doing in there?" Come out! There are no two people in the door, and the door has not been closed yet, come out quickly! ”

"If you're gone, I-"

"Let my wife fight hard, hide behind and wait for the result - even if I am not a man, I can't do such a thing." On the other side of the Gate of Light, the quiet voice of the Heroic Spirit Maiden came, just as resolute as Emiya Shirou just now, "Moreover, I also have an opponent that I have always wanted to challenge. ”

"Saber, maybe you don't remember those past events, but I always want to see you again, thank you for teaching me martial arts, and thank you for doing your best to protect my useless Master ...... during that time."

"However, I have always been a hopeless stupid fellow, and all I can think of is to prove with a sword that I have surpassed you."

"Artoriaβ€”no, King Arthur! I challenge you! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but as a knight, I never refuse a challenge." Arthur laughed, sheathed his steel sword, and walked towards the Gate of Light, but as he was about to enter the gate, he stopped, "It's unfair to duel with you with an ideal township that can block any attackβ€”"

As he spoke, he took the scabbard and held it in his hand only, and threw the scabbard to Emiya Shirou.

"Shirou, you used the scabbard hidden in your body as a medium to summon me, and now, I will return it to you."

"Butβ€”"

"You, who have been seeking justice, are more suitable for it than me, who has only the rest of my life to atone for my sins, and for me, a sword is enough." Arthur smiled and walked through the Gate of Light, "If you wear a scabbard, you won't hurt - but the wound in my heart, the scabbard won't help me." ”

"Hopefully it will help you and allow you to have a bright future."

"The disciple who inherited my swordsmanship, the right should be a souvenir for me, a teacher who has failed to be a man and a king."

With that, his figure disappeared on the other side of the Gate of Light.

Hey-you haven't beaten yet, are you in a hurry to explain what happened?

…… Perhaps, it was because he had a premonition that he would fail......

When I saw Ayaka Sajo pushing open the door and walking out of the door with a tired face, for some reason, there was no unwillingness or regret, but I just felt that "it should be like this".

Victorious, Rin Tosaka walked straight to the Holy Grail and said what he wanted.

Her voice was low, but it couldn't escape my ears.

"I hope that Ayaka can stay by my side forever and we will never be separated!"

――――――

It's over?

Of course not yet......

Why update now?

Because I just finished writing it.

I'm diligent, right?

Average...... Even if you compliment me, I can't do it twice a day......
