Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Holy Grail Lost in the Light

"Ahh As if sighing, Naraku ignored the pain coming from his body, covered his face and laughed, "Well, this time you won." ”

He had a hideous wound on his body that stretched from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and the golden sword nearly split him in two.

Even if it is a heroic spirit, such an injury is fatal.

"Ahh Naraku closed her eyes and sighed helplessly, "But after the strength becomes stronger, there are more things that can be done, how can I get myself out of some difficulties?" ”

Ignoring his body and turning into a little starlight and gradually disappearing, Naraku thought about his own affairs.

The flesh-and-blood body is completely gone, but ......

"What!?"

In Saber's incredulous gaze, the magical glow emerged from the translucent Naraku, who was now barely visible from the slightest injury.

"Why...... Obviously the body has disappeared, why does the soul still exist......" Saber asked the surprised little Naraku, while holding the holy sword in both hands, guarding him, even if her magic power was almost exhausted just now, she did not give up the idea of resisting.

However, Naraku didn't take advantage of the situation to attack her, but looked at Sakura Makiri, who was falling to the side.

In the previous battle, Naraku had always stood in front of Sakura, which also prevented her from being accidentally injured by stray bullets, even if it was Saber's last real name liberation, Naraku also focused all the damage on himself, which also caused him to suffer irreparable damage to the spirit core this time, and he was helpless to be able to eliminate the spirit body and appear in this world in the form of a soul.

However, it was originally a meditative state anyway, and it didn't matter to him to appear in a soul state.

"Is it finally here? Wasted a starlight burst, well, forget it, since I'm all liberated, then the starlight burst is not the same. ”

Click-

There was a sound like glass shattering, and a large hole cracked in the sky. Then, like a spew of magma, countless black mud poured out of the cavity.

"What............ It's ............"

Saber, who had not lost his guard in the face of the disappearance of Naraku's body and was able to maintain his current state even though he had not lost his guard, looked at the hollow that kept flowing black mud in amazement.

"This is the 'Holy Grail' you are after." With his back to Saber, Naraku said lightly.

"It's ...... at all"

"That's right, the Holy Grail has been contaminated, caused by the Einzberen family during the Third Holy Grail War, and now it contains nothing more than a curse called [All the Evils of this World]."

As he spoke, Naraku threw the heart of Illiasfil, which she was holding in her left hand, into the black mud.

The surging of black mud stopped, however, it was only the calm before the storm.

The next moment, like a volcanic eruption, the whole earth trembled violently. The black mud boiled in an instant, spreading through the Great Void at an astonishing speed.

"Berserker, what are you doing!?"

"In order to get rid of this garbage, the only way to do this is to let the Holy Grail come first, and besides, you'd better not do anything with me now, otherwise I can't guarantee that you won't die, and there will be a reward for you for defeating me later, don't be so anxious to die." In response to Saber's questioning, Naraku replied with a smile.

"What are you talking about......" Before the word 'Mo' could be uttered, a golden flash suddenly appeared on Naraku's shoulder.

Instinctively, Saber sensed the danger and stepped back, hoping to avoid Naraku's attack, but ......

"Fool, just because you want to avoid the lion's fangs." In a world that Saber couldn't see, countless golden beams of light had surrounded him, and the all-round attack made Saber's almost "futuristic" intuition useless.

Saber, who was attacked all over, flew backwards like a scattered maple leaf.

β€œSaber!!” Before he could figure out what was going on, Shirou screamed and rushed up, finally catching Saber before she fell to the ground, "Berserker, you ...... you"

"Stop, Shirou, you can't make a rash move." Rin clutched a few gems in her hand and gritted her teeth as she looked at Naraku, the pace of the previous battle was too fast for her to intervene, and after Shirou caught Saber, she hurriedly stopped his unplanned suicide.

After one last glance at Saber and the others, Naraku set her eyes on the Holy Grail.

"This is the evil of this world, this is really dark enough, it is all mud." Raising his right hand, palm facing up, he could feel the terrifying power gathering on his palm.

As if realizing what Naraku wanted to do, the cursed black mud rushed over frantically.

Naraku smiled.

"It's just the malice of six billion human beings, and I dare to run rampant in front of me who has endured the resentment of the entire universe creatures, first of all, let's clear the scene, there is black mud everywhere and it destroys the atmosphere, and I want to bring out the little girl inside!"

The red lotus fire erupted from his palm, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a tornado of flames that swept away the black mud in front of him, and then, ignoring the still burning flames, Naraku walked in the direction of the Holy Grail.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What kind of power is this, to have such destructive power. Rin looked at the attack that completely emptied the black mud in an instant and said, cold sweat couldn't stop flowing, "Did we fight this kind of monster before?" ”

"Oh, it looks like the Holy Grail has arrived."

Suddenly, a somewhat gloomy man's voice came from behind.

"Is that you? False priests! What are you here for? ”

Rin turned her head and looked at Yan Feng Qili, who was the overseer, wary.

Ignoring Rin's vigilance, Yan Feng looked at Naraku, who was easily moving forward in the black mud, and said lightly: "The Holy Grail is coming, how can I, as an overseer, not come, besides, ......"

Turning his head to look at Saber, he said in the same tone, "As the Master of Lancer and Archer, I can't help but come. ”

"What!"

With Rin's exclamation, he threw ten black keys at Saber and rushed over.

In the face of the sudden attack, Saber was a little surprised, but she still defended well against the flying black keys, however, because of the injuries she had received before and the hasty response, she showed a flaw, and was hit in the chest by the former agent Yan Feng Qili seized the opportunity and fell into the black mud.

"!!!!!!Ahh

β€œβ€œSaber!!!” ”

Saber screamed in pain as the black mud eroded her armor became black, and her green pupils began to turn to cloudy gold.

"Pseudo-priest, what are you doing!?" Rin yelled angrily.

In the face of this black mud, neither humans nor heroic spirits have a chance of winning.

"What do I want to do? I just want this child to be born. ”

Yan Feng looked at the black "sun" in the sky with some intoxication, and said.

"Are you crazy!? Don't you know what the consequences of that thing coming!! ”

"Crazy? Maybe. It seems to you that I have gone crazy for a long time. ”

β€œTraceon!”

It was Shirou who had been doing nothing.

At this moment, he is enduring unbearable pain that ordinary people can not bear, driving the magic circuit.

More than a dozen swords appeared in the air. They are all fakes, however they are enough as consumables.

"I won't let you get in the way!"

"Don't think about it!"

For Yan Feng, who wanted to attack Shirou, Rin swung his short sword to meet him.

Although Yan Feng's fighting skills were far stronger than Rin's, Rin still managed to hold him back.

"Shirou!"

"Thanks, Tosaka! Go ahead!!! ”

With a command, the swords flew towards the black mud that entangled Saber.

Rumble!

The sword blew away the black mud near Saber, and although there was still a lot of it attached to her, it was much better than before.

"Avalon!"

Fighting the bone-eating pain, Saber unleashed the sheath of the sword.

The golden enchantment keeps the black mud out.

No contact is allowed.

This is the ideal land that all the kings have seen in their dreams, and only King Arthur has arrived.

"You guys!"

"Qili!!"

With a short sword in one hand, Rin ran towards the black priest.

Without stopping, the alchemist's sword stood on his chest.

"Whew-"

The priest turned.

Until then.

With a kick on the ground with one foot, Rin rolls over in a running position.

A whirlwind sweep.

The priest turned to the enemy who was about to stab himself in the chest.

Almost at the same time, the impact pierced him a second time.

The body that turns like a spinning top, and the magic that gathers in the right hand.

The sword aimed at the priest's chest struck overβ€”

β€œl[auml][szlig]t——!”

Along with the language with the meaning of liberation, it flows into the AZOTH sword.

Blue-white sparks bloom the black priest's robe.

A short sword piercing his chest, and scattered sparks.

The slices of meat didn't pop out and there was no bleeding or anything like that.

Even so - the battle is over.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

He didn't look at Rin, just looked at the short sword that stabbed him incredulously.

I don't know how long I've been thinking about it.

He let out a sigh of relief, and finally, his body, which had not moved a single step during the confrontation, began to shake.

"By the way, it was given to you before, it should have been ten years ago - I see, it's normal for me to lose."

Fall down.

The body of the priest called Yan Feng Qili fell weakly in the direction of what he wanted.

"False Priest ............"

Rin looked at this man who was both a master and a senior brother with a complicated expression.

All the way to the end.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Saber, are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Saber got up from the ground in a bit of embarrassment, said to Rin who was running over, and then immediately ran to Shirou, who was twitching on the ground in pain, and asked worriedly, "Is it okay, Shirou?" ”

"Uh...... No, it's okay............"

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my carelessness......"

"There's no such thing............"

"I'm talking about you."

Rin looked at the two of them with a subtle expression, and said in an unhappy voice: "Now that the matter is basically over, Berserker is about to come out, you are ready to bring Sakura back." ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Understood!"

It's not clear why, but Rin seems to be angry right now, so both Shirou and Saber immediately respond to her words.

On the other side, after the flame tornado cleared the field, Naro reached Sakura's side smoothly, and then stabbed the Broken Ten Thousand Laws Talisman into her chest.

"Yo Si, it's done." After saying this, Naraku jumped to safety with a spatial jump, and after handing over Sakura to Shirou, he faced the Holy Grail again.

With his hands crossed and his palms facing down in front of him, Naraku put on a posture ready to make a big move, and anyone who has seen Saint Seiya should know what kind of move this is.

"Alright, your mission is almost over, I'll give you a good time, give me an atom left to disappear, Galaxian-Explosion !!"

A powerful punch that is enough to smash the power of the galaxy, the biggest mystery of Gemini - the galactic starburst.

Countless planets are like supernovae facing a tipping point, simple, brutal, and just a simple move to destroy the opponent.

The Holy Grail was also swallowed by the power of the shattering stars, vanishing in the light of the outwardly beautiful but devastated light.

"Then it's time for them to be rewarded." Retracting his hands, Naraku turned to look at Saber and them, "I'll give you a new life, and cherish it for me." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Two months have passed since the Holy Grail War, and Fuyuki City has returned to its former peace.

Sakura, who had been asleep since she disconnected from the Holy Grail, had already woken up and stayed in the hospital for a day before returning home, because Berserker's treatment did not leave any sequelae at all, and now that Shinji and Maki were killed in the Holy Grail War, Sakura has become the head of the Maki family.

Rin took Archer to study in the United Kingdom and devoted himself to the study of the second method.

Ah, by the way, after the Holy Grail War, neither Archer nor Saber disappeared, and the Berserker guy gave them a body that allowed them to stay in reality.

As for Eliya, she is now in good health, and she is living in the Emiya Mansion, with Sister Fuji's father as her guardian.

Caster stayed in the present world, also thanks to Berserker's help, and now she is married to Katsuragi and is practicing as a bride under the name of "Gemu Medea".

2 months.

Beyond winter to spring.

That's all that has changed.

I feel a little grown, but not yet satisfied.

So nothing has changed.

A boy named Emiya Shirou is clumsily fighting for his ideals with the help of a young girl named Artoria.

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek.
