Chapter 117: The Broken Grail

Standing in the center of the scorching curse, waiting for the moment when her wish would come true, the woman wrapped in pitch black smiled. Gracefully tidy up her dress, dyed black, and before long she will be given the ability to grant her wishes. As a universal wish machine for the realization of everything, it removes all suffering.

Looking at Alice Phil, who had already judged the two of them, Li Chenxing felt that Saber, who had always been unfazed, finally began to panic. The curse that haunts Alice Phil's body perfectly blocks the approach of all Heroic Spirits, and without her approval, I am afraid that no one can obtain the final medal.

There is no other way for Saber now, if he concentrates all the remaining power in his body, he may be able to squeeze out the magic power to launch the final blow Excalibur. However, Saber, who knows enough about his treasure, naturally knows that if he wants to attack those curses from his current position, the attack will directly affect Alice Phil in the center of the curse and the Holy Grail in her hand. In that case, all efforts would be in vain.

"What to do......

Faced with a dilemma, Saber was swaying when a new visitor appeared on the wide rooftop.

"Kiritsugu. You're finally here! ”

The first person to spot him was Alice Phil, dressed in black, standing on the side. Illuminated by the light of the fire lit by the curse, a silhouette appeared like an undead in a long trench coat, and he was the hyena Emiya Kiritsugu hired by Einzberen. Alice Phil's cold face shone with joy and shouted at Emiya Kiritsugu.

In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu, who has information, should be the first intruder to arrive at this Dongmu Hall, as early as one o'clock in the morning, Emiya Kiritsugu slowly entered the center of the empty entrance hall without hurrying. However, in the process, he was blocked by Yan Feng Qili. For Yan Feng Qili, who has been in confusion, his purpose is not the Holy Grail, but this opportunity to face Emiya Kiritsugu before obtaining the Holy Grail.

After entering the hall, through the dim moonlight Emiya Kiritsugu saw a slender figure in a priest's robe, before the final accident appeared, everything was going according to the hope of Yan Feng Qili, everyone was arguing over the last Holy Grail, and no one would bother him now.

And Emiya Kiritsugu has completely hidden the chips in his hands so far, even if Yan Feng Qili gets any analysis information about Kiritsugu's tactics, it should only be limited to rumors or rumors. In this Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu only used one kill against Kenneth. However, at that time, the barrier of Einzberen Castle was quite tight, and it was able to prevent the Assassin from infiltrating. In addition, Yan Feng Qili himself was also in the middle of a battle with Kuyu Maiya and Alice Phil at the time, and he couldn't get out. As far as the conclusion is concerned, it can be concluded that Mine Kiritsugu did not have any prior knowledge of Emiya Kiritsugu's secret technique Inherent Time Control and the Magic Ritual Costume Origin Bomb, nor did he prepare any way to deal with it.

However, in time, for the frontal battle against the substitute of Yan Feng Qili, Emiya Kiritsugu actually has no chance of winning, and every attack and defense needs to use all his energy. In the life-and-death struggle, Emiya Kiritsugu and Yan Feng Qili naturally had no way of knowing the changes that had taken place upstairs.

The cursed black mud began to corrode the building from the rooftop, and when it reached the room where Emiya Kiritsugu was fighting, it seeped out and flowed down, and then it flowed like a flood over the battlefield. The two men in the battle did not notice a hole in the ceiling until the end, and it flowed down the upper floor. At the moment when life and death were intertwined, the black mud that fell from their heads poured on the bodies of the two people.

Emiya Kiritsugu has never pursued the truth or the answer to things. For him, it is always the situation itself that deserves attention.

He vowed to save as many people as he could, and that's it. There is no distinction between high and low lives saved, and no reason or background affects the scale of sacrifice and redemption. So he has always lived with this mentality, thinking that thinking about the meaning of his actions is a foolish thing. In the past days, Emiya Kiritsuji kept killing people. With guns, with blades, with poisons, with bombs. Assassination, slicing, burning, sinking, pressurizing.

He never doubted the meaning of such an act, carefully considered the value of killing, and killed in order to save the side of the scales tilted and empty the other. Repeat and kill again and again. That's right, that's right. Accept sacrifice in order to save the majority. If there is more happiness in protection than in increased misfortune, doesn't that mean that the world is a little closer to salvation? Even if there is a river of blood at his feet and a mountain of corpses. If some lives are saved by sacrifice, then those that are precious should be those that are precious.

"Holy Grail...... There can't be ...... in this world."

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was poured with black mud, also managed to see the consciousness of the Black Holy Grail, and after the most painful torture in it, Emiya Kiritsugu only had this thought left in his heart. The sound from his throat was incomparably empty, like the wind blowing through a hollow gap, without sadness or anger. Now Emiya Kiritsugu's heart has long been empty. He gave up the miracle he had pursued all his life, and he didn't even want the price of betraying the miracle. Naturally, nothing remained within him now.

Arriving at the final battlefield, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his right hand, revealing the spell engraved on the back of his hand. This is the coercive power called the Command Spell that is still in the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Saber with a spell. Use the Noble Phantasm to destroy the Holy Grail ......"

The muffled words shook Saber's body from the depths of her soul. The voice, too familiar to be more familiar, was declared clearly and resolutely.

"What!"

Emiya Kiritsugu's order made Saber's mind go blank. However, even though Saber's brain refused to understand, her body as a servant faithfully accepted the commands of the spell. A whirlwind dispersed the flames around it. From the center of the Wind King's enchantment, the figure of the Golden Sword appeared. Completely ignoring the will of the sword-wielder. The sacred sword began to weave beams.

"No...... No! ”

Saber roared. The golden sword, raised high, stopped in mid-air under Saber's resistance. As the legendary Knight King and the best class, Saber has a special magic resistance that can even resist the bondage of the Spell. She used all her strength to stop herself from swinging her sword. Strength and inhibition, two opposing forces collided violently in Saber's body, and her slender body seemed to be torn apart at any moment.

"Command again with the Third Spell"

Seeing this, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his right hand again and raised his arm to Saber below, and there was still one last spell left on it.

"Saber, Destroy the Holy Grail"

This is an absolute power that is completely irresistible. The immense force of the Double Command Spell squeezed Saber's body, drawing out the remaining magic from her and weaving it into the ultimate weapon capable of destroying the army.

Based on people's thoughts and crystallized within the planet, the holy sword belonging to the Knight King, one of the most powerful fantasy gods-made armor, bloomed with dazzling light at this moment, and the released pillar of light cut through all the guardrails and hit Alice Phil who was holding the Holy Grail in her arms. The Golden Chalice silently lost its form in the scorching heat of the glitter.

Then Saber closed his eyes silently, and now the last hope was gone. And her battle is over. In that case, how could I witness this tragic scene with my eyes open? Keeping her sword swinging, Saber, who had run out of magic, began to return to the Valhalla in the form of aether, and soon her silhouette vanished.
