Chapter 118: The End of Fate
The beams of light gathered by the Oath of the Knight King and the Sword of Victory destroyed the golden chalice in an arc and flew off into the distance, slicing the dark sky in half. The huge kinetic energy slashed the entire civic hall in two, and the already ravaged and overwhelmed building was finally unable to withstand such a blow, and the load-bearing walls that had lost their support began to make a cracking sound.
Then, through the light left behind by the treasure, Li Chenxing felt a black sun appear in the night sky at the apex of the Dongmu Guild Hall. It was a passage for a series of connections, it was hidden in the altar of the Advent ceremony, and the space tunnel connected to the Great Chalice Magic Array under the Enzo Mountain on the east side of Fukayama Town, and it had absorbed the energy of the leylines for sixty years, and now it had obtained the inside of the Great Body Holy Grail of the six heroic souls and was filled up, turning into a huge magic vortex. This is the body of the black sun. What was seen on the inside of the Holy Grail at the time of the curse was created, a symbol of the end of the world.
The Holy Grail Container, conceived from Einzberen's androids, is nothing more than a key to open the hole, and it is also a control device that keeps the hole in a stable state. Completely unaware of this situation, Emiya Kiritsugu made a fatal mistake, instead of ordering Saber to destroy the Holy Grail, he should have let her use the Sword of Oath and Victory to burn the holes in the sky. Due to the loss of control of the Holy Grail Container, the black sun begins to dissolve and the hole gradually decreases, but it is completely impossible to stop the black mud from flowing out of the inside of the hole until it is completely closed.
Originally, it was only an attributeless power used to create a breakthrough for the Great Holy Grail to the outside world, but due to the negligence of the former Einomiya Kiritsugu, the interface was damaged, so that it was stained with a pitch-black color by the curse inside. At this moment, a large amount of evil black mud fell from the top of the civic hall like a waterfall, and these cursed black mud were filled with all the malice in the world.
This black mud will have the power to destroy all life. The tsunami-like black mud engulfed the Togi Kaikan, which was the auditorium, and the raging black waves even rolled up the Assassin who was ambushing inside the guild hall. The body of the Heroic Spirit alone could not resist these rich curses, and in the next moment, the Heroic Spirit's glorious body was disintegrated and absorbed by the black mud, becoming one with the turbulent mudflow.
And then the killing began......
Standing in the wreckage of the building, Enomiya Kiritsugu, who had fortunately escaped the catastrophe, stared blankly at all this. The cursed waterfall that fell from the sky did not stop, and the black mud poured out of the buildings through the entrance of the guild hall and spread out to the surrounding neighborhoods. The inhabitants of the city were asleep at home in the early hours of the morning, and the mud of death, smelling the breath of human life, turned into a burning curse and came down on their pillows.
Burn down houses, burn down courtyards. Both those who fell asleep and those who woke up trying to escape were burned out. It waited for sixty years inside the Great Grail, as if celebrating its brief release, mercilessly stripping it of all life it came into contact with. After a while, the holes in the sky disappeared, and the black mud stopped gushing out. But the dirt brought about massive fires, and the people who couldn't drag it turned into charred corpses one by one. The night sky is rendered by the grand red lotus fire, and the ground is endlessly staged with the feast of death.
Escaping from the crumbling civic hall, Emiya Kiritsugu witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. For a warrior like Emiya Kiritsugu who wants to save the world, such consequences are probably the harshest punishment for him.
After the investigation, more than 500 people were killed, and 134 buildings were burned. This huge disaster, which has always been of unknown cause, has left an indelible mark on the hearts of the citizens of Fuyuki City. At this time, I recalled that Saber, who was the first to leave the scene, although she was scarred and failed to realize her ambition and left the world, but not having to witness the tragedy that followed may be a kind of compensation for her......
Li Chenxing, who was on the front line of the battle, was unexpectedly not attacked by the black mud, although these black mud were magical creations, but they still obeyed the laws of physics and went straight downstream, although Li Chenxing on the rooftop witnessed the surging black mud nearby, but now he is still safe. Sitting on the rider's mount, he stepped away in the air, and directly avoided the key area of the black mud attack.
The fire near the Dongmu Guild Hall, which should have been ignited by the curse, was still burning, and even Li Chenxing, who was standing in the distance now, could still smell the unpleasant smell.
"Already, it's over......"
Dawn has arrived, looking at the early sun slowly rising in the east, the sun has dispelled some annoying sleepiness, Li Chenxing, who was standing on the bridge, said to the rider who was following behind. The Holy Grail War is over, the Holy Grail has been destroyed by Saber, and it is also the time for the Rider to return as a Heroic Spirit. Although Li Chenxing had hoped that Rider would stay, as long as she was still a Heroic Spirit, she could not violate this law.
"yes, it's over."
Rider, who changed into a home suit, followed behind Li Chenxing, looked at the rising sun, and said calmly. It is impossible for the Heroic Spirits to stay in this era, let alone the Holy Grail War, and the summoned Heroic Spirits are nothing more than a clone of the totems on the distant Throne of the Immortal that can be discarded at any time.
Although there is no way to let the rider stay, the price to pay is too great to even the noble rider himself will not agree. The high amount of magic required for the arrival of the Heroic Spirit is the magic accumulated by the Great Holy Grail for sixty years during the Holy Grail War, and after the Holy Grail War is over, there is naturally no such way to replenish the magic power, and the only way is to continue to maintain this kind of demonic contract, and the magician bears the consumption of magic power. It's a contract for something like a demon.
However, using the Heroic Spirit as a demon, the huge amount of mana consumed by the servant is impossible for most magicians, even the current Li Chenxing, since the magic power of the contractor is not enough to support the demon, then he can only obtain mana from other people. And the best material that can squeeze magic power is the life force and soul of human beings. This kind of harmful method will even end up making the Heroic Spirit the same as the Evil Spirit.
"It's about the same time. This is the end of our contract, and I have enjoyed this trip. ”
Rider stroked her long silky blonde hair and said calmly.
"Well, let's look forward to the next encounter......"
Li Chenxing turned his head to look at the rider, and her black-toned clothes also flashed with dazzling light. The sun rises. The stopped winds began to blow. The figure of the black knight disappeared with the wind, just as it had appeared. Neatly, not even a little thing was left.
"Then I'm going to start my journey too......"
Li Chenxing, who turned his head, faced the sun and closed his eyes. It's uncomfortable to not save the manuscript ==, two are better and hard.
