No matter how grand the party is, there will eventually be an end, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, and there is always a separation after laughing and making trouble. The Battle of the Holy Grail was like a gathering of Heroic Spirits, and with the return of the King of Conquest, Artoria suddenly realized that the end was coming.

Yes, the original disturbing and lively scene seems to have disappeared all at once. One by one, the Heroic Spirits who traveled through time and space to this world left, and in the end, only Artoria and the so-called original king remained.

But this is just a small feeling for Artoria, and there is no regret. Everyone has their own world, everyone has their own purpose, those short days are just occasional encounters, and after passing by, they still have to return to their own lives.

"The target is erased, and all that remains is the decisive battle"

An indifferent voice came from the dense forest behind the two of them, and Artoria was familiar with its owner even if she didn't look back.

"I knew you were back. Artoria said unsurprisingly.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't speak, but just looked at Webber, who was frozen in place. The young magician had been silent since Rider's return, and Kiritsugu wasn't sure if he was scared or disappointed, after all, the magician named Webber was too young.

But even if it's just a child, Emiya Kiritsugu still doesn't intend to let him go. Sympathy and pity had long since disappeared in that fire, and was gone in the moment when the plane exploded. At this time, he is a machine, a machine that will wipe out future troubles.

Webber was unaware of the impending crisis, and he remained basking in the destruction brought about by the last brilliant light. No matter how much he deceived himself, he would never forget that scene. What happened in front of him in a matter of seconds had become a part of his soul, forever inseparable.

I left so easily...

I obviously promised to pick up the Holy Grail with me and go to the other side of the sea of stars together. But it turned out that... Died so easily, damn it, what about your promise?

Webb was alone, motionless. It was difficult for him to accept the fact that the rider had left, and he only felt powerless, as if his body would definitely fall to his knees as long as he moved.

He will never forget the moment when he summoned the rider, the existence that can only be looked up to is destined to make him yearn for it for a lifetime. After only ten short days together, Webb clearly felt that his body had been imprinted with the color of the conquering king.

Steal books together, eat cup noodles together, play games together, and soar under the stars under the wheels of Shenwei together. It's like a dream, and it can only be a permanent dream from tonight onwards.

"Click"

The sound of a bullet loading woke Webb from his slump and raised his lowered head to the black holes and cold eyes.

Are you going to die?

Although it would be nice to end up like this, Webb didn't want to die here. He had something that had to be passed on, and that was the will of a king. Even if the King of Conquest is no longer there, his existence cannot disappear, there must be someone in this world who can carry his mark, and someone who can inherit his will.

But apparently Kiritsugu couldn't hear Weber's heart, and even if he heard this man, he wouldn't be moved. But just as he was about to pull the trigger, the holy sword, which was colder than his eyes, stood in front of him.

"Since it's a decisive battle, there's no need for it."

Artoria quietly stopped Emiya Kiritsugu's attempt, not caring in the slightest about the latter's resentment. As Artoria said, the time for the decisive battle has arrived, and everything else is no longer important.

Frowning, it was clear that Artoria's actions had made Kiritsugu very unhappy. However, the decisive battle is imminent, and he will not make the already bad master-servant relationship worse. Even though he has always been a loner, what Kiritsugu Einomiya can't deny is that he still needs to borrow Artoria's power.

Ignoring Artoria at all, Emiya Kiritsugu turned around and left, which could be regarded as his silent protest.

Artoria turned her head to look at Webb. She didn't appreciate the boy or not, but since it was proof of the existence of the King of Conquest, Artoria still hoped that he would live.

"That's... Thank you, Saber!"

The immortal boy naturally knew who saved him, and he should say thank you for it. It's just that what touched him was that he didn't expect the other party to save himself even if he had a dispute with his master. It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that Artoria's relationship with Kiritsugu has always been so bad.

"Don't you hate me?"

Although it is understandable to save his life, Rider was indeed killed by his own hands, so Artoria asked, she was still a little interested in Weber's idea.

"There is no need for this, this day is coming after all, and the way of survival of the rider will be passed on by me. As long as this spirit does not disappear, then the king of conquest will always exist in this world. ”

Without concealment, Webtan revealed his heart. To Artoria, he didn't want to hide his feelings at all.

"Oh, did you inherit that man's will..."

"Yes, I will inherit the king's dream and witness the end of that dream, the other side of the sea of stars. I will... Bravely live the way you conquer the king. ”

She couldn't help but laugh out loud, Artoria's smile made it impossible to tell what she was thinking or why she was laughing. As if with deep emotion, Artoria took a breath, and then said as if with deep meaning:

"Webb, I'll wake up from my dreams..."

Without any response, Weber's will was not so easily shaken. He knew he was nowhere near the man he was, but he wasn't as old as he was when he started traveling. And the traces of his amazing and blood-pumping adventures still remain in the corners of the world, so Webb is going to find them all. Maybe one day, I can find the footprints he once walked somewhere on the other side of the distant sea.

If there is an afterlife, I would like to be a courtier...

"That's the end of the chat, get out of here. ”

Putting away her relaxed mood, Artoria urged Webb to leave. Webb knew that this was the end of his journey. He no longer has the necessary and qualified to participate in the war, and he is not staying at this point, and his life has just begun.

"In any case, I hope you can lift the last Holy Grail. The relics of miracles should be worthy of the king of miracles, Saber, and may you succeed..."

With one last word, Webber also left the jungle that changed his fate, leaving the Holy Grail battlefield that changed his fate. From this moment, the others really began to grow, no matter how difficult the future is, I believe that with this experience, he can face it well.
