Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Devil of Redemption

Fuyuki Civic Hall——

With a total cost of 8 billion yen, this facility is a symbol of the development of Fuyuki Shinto, along with the project of the station center building. Covering an area of 6,600 square meters and a construction area of 4,700 square meters, it is a hybrid structure with four floors above ground and one floor underground. The two-story concert hall can accommodate more than 3,000 people. The new design of the architect makes this modern civic hall as magnificent and majestic as an ancient shrine, and it is from here that Fuyuki City's ambition to develop a new city can be seen.

However, only the exterior has been completed, and the interior is currently being renovated for the inauguration, but the actual use is much more distant. With minimal safety measures and no power supply, the clean and magnificent building becomes a space with a strange sense of unreality in the middle of the night when there are no staff.

Of course, there is no element of magic in the city's building plans. The fact that the building site of the Civic Hall was chosen on the newest spirit vein of Fuyuki was completely accidental - in other words, this rare accident could be incurred, and it was also due to the specificity of the spirit of this place.

Originally, there was no meaning here, and no one would seek refuge in such a place at this moment, but looking down from above, two men were sitting at the table, calmly holding the red wine glasses in their hands, as if they were doing some kind of conversation.

"So, is that what you're for? There is no doubt that the battle for the Holy Grail will come to an end tonight, and because of this sense of presence and nothingness, you have given up control of the Holy Grail? It doesn't matter if you lose your own daughter? It's a pity that you've cultivated Emiya Kiritsugu for so many years. The first person to ask the question was a priest with a more pleasant face. There is no ridicule or sarcasm in the words. It is the overseer of this Holy Grail War. The father of Iwamine's ceremonies.

"Okay, old fellow, you must know that our world has always been controlled by 'God', and when we thought that the Holy Grail was a universal wishing machine that could fulfill all long-cherished wishes, 'God' told us with his power how ridiculous this idea is, if you don't believe me, you won't let your son die in vain. Now that 'God' has given the guide. Then put your hopes in 10 years, and then everything will be answered. The head of the Einzberen family calmly explained everything he knew, but at this moment, Elisphil was not by his side.

"It doesn't matter if the victory belongs to that person this time? Heh, it's ironic enough, well, I'm not going to die for ten years anyway, so... Let me look forward to the future world realm, and I will remove the Great Barrier at dawn, anyway. It's been busy enough for a while this time. As the godfather's words fell, this conversation that no one knew about came to an end. No one knows what the gods they are talking about, and no one knows what they say, and the great barrier of Fuyuki City is precisely from their handwriting.

- Let's focus on the deathmatch in the Golden Theater again.

"The King's Treasure!" As Gilgamesh roared, the treasures were finally unveiled with fangs, each of the golden glittering weapons telling of their innate honor, a royal treasure that only Gilgamesh could wield.

With the beginning of the onslaught of Gilgamesh. The treasure fell like thunder, and the momentum seemed to blow up Lin Xiu's position and even the entire Golden Theater. Attacking non-stop. The attacks did not stop, but gradually became more and more intense.

"When! Dangdang! The crisp sound kept coming out around Lin Xiu's body, obviously he was like a trapped beast in it kept fighting and struggling, the only eye kept bleeding to the ground, now his body has exceeded the limit of what he can bear, every inch of skin has been out of the control of his brain, the eyelids are gradually about to fall like a fight, the indestructible treasure, none of them have the size of his body, every time he resists it seems to break his arm, the "hum" roar dissipates from his ears, The sword squeezed hard at his heels, and from there, the back of his calf was neatly severed and turned into a blur of flesh.

Are you going to fall? This question flashed in his mind, after all, was his journey in the apostolic realm coming to an end? Behold, how ridiculous you are, that from birth you have nothing, that you are a bastard who does not even know who your parents are.

"Wild seed, Lin Xiu is a wild seed, hahaha." The children laughed unscrupulously, someone picked up the stone in his hand and threw it at his head, he could only quickly pick up his schoolbag and run away, he didn't dare to fight back, because once he injured the other party, their parents would find their own home and start criticizing themselves, and there was only an old grandmother behind him, he couldn't increase the burden on his grandmother, he understood this truth, but the bag and blood on his head made him really feel the pain, and he squatted in the corridor aggrievedly, Holding his schoolbag and looking at the world outside with teary eyes, so close, but so far away, when... He will be able to get the love he yearns for, and when will he be able to have his own partner.

"Why don't you even wear a glove, it's such a cold day, stretch out, my sister will help you warm up, oops, what's there to be shy about." The first time someone walked into his world, his sister's heart-pounding face was so close to him, this was probably the first time he felt the warmth in many years, the first time he got the care, it turned out to be the kind of throbbing that could make people happy to tears, and he wanted to use all his strength to protect it, but he knew how humble he was, but he was just treated as a pitiful worm, but the pitiful worm doesn't mean that he has no qualifications for protection and blessing, right?

The scenes in my mind are like clips cut from a movie are constantly playing, my sister's gentle and beautiful face, waved at him under the sky, and then disappeared into the mushroom cloud, he shouted loudly, wanting to use his strength to grab the pieces of clothes, piecing his sister together, wanting to hug the thighs of death, and delay his progress, but. He couldn't. He felt his powerlessness.

"Captain... I want to live... Scythe... Be with me..."Liu Wenjie's words and face appeared in front of him. I wanted to reach out and grab it, to keep it, but in the end, at the moment when the laser shot out, he became distracted, and he couldn't do anything but a tombstone..., he was still so pitiful, he was the captain. The captain wants to protect the existence of these people around him, isn't it, Lin Xiu, why are you so useless, it's not that you don't give it to the people around you, it's that you can't protect it yourself.

"Captain... Live..."Lao Dao's obscene face exudes the sunshine that is only once.

"Captain... Let me stay... This is the destination of the warrior..."In the desert, the figure who walked away alone is gone.

"Hey, Lin Xiu, Tifa is our signature, if you can't bring it back, you'll die." Wei Dongxu's arrogant words and expression appeared in front of him. Beside him was Xu Ningning, the woman who once wanted to take advantage of herself. At this moment, Tan Xiaofan, who put everything on his body like a bet, gave a thumbs up, and Dongfang Ling, who only had half of his face exposed, had encouragement and trust in his eyes that could not be expressed in words, yes, he still had them on his shoulders, although this shoulder was so fragile, although his strength was so insignificant...

"Honey, you're never alone, I've always been there for you, we... Always by your side... I'm waiting for you..."The angelic face stood in the middle of her teammates, her arms outstretched and waiting to meet her hug, her weak but strong gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned...

"I want to... I want to... Protect you, protect you, I don't want to... I don't want to lose you, you are me, it's me, it's me, it's the most ... The most precious treasure of all! The murmuring sobs slowly turned into a suppressed roar in my heart, like a male lion waking up from sleep, suddenly awakened.

"Congratulations to Lin Xiu... The second state breakthrough promotion, obtained the SSS level mystery..."That mysterious voice echoed in my ears and in my head...

"Can you still hold on? Disappear here, bastard, Heavenly Lock! As Gilgamesh's words fell, eight huge whirlpools appeared behind him, and the blades with chains slowly stretched out, and suddenly accelerated towards the already mutilated figure in the distance...

"Buzz!" With the sound of a strong air current, the hook chain of the Heavenly Lock rushed into Lin Xiu's arm, and the continuous sound of "buzzing" was aimed at the vital point of his body at the same time...

"The Heavenly Demon Mystery - Burning Flames!" The body that had been gradually exhausted suddenly burst into flames, and the green flames enveloped all his figures, and the chains of the heavens that had been killed before were suddenly burned by the flames, and they were flames that could melt all the steel in an instant...

"Die for me!" The roar reverberated throughout the Golden Theater, and the slender and small figure, with a green emerald flame, rushed towards Gilgamesh in the distance in an instant...

"Bastard!" Gilgamesh scolded angrily, and his body dodged to the side, however, the speed of the emerald flame was really beyond his prediction and estimate, the sharp claws like a flood beast directly choked his throat, like a steel collarbone, unable to move at all, the faces of the two were so close, the pupils wrapped in the quenching flames carried the determination and bitter resentment that burned everything...

"Temper it! Even if it's a god, don't try to take anything of me! "The green flames wrapped around the two people, swept the entire Golden Theater, and for a while, the green flames sprayed everywhere...

"Bastard! You're going to die..."Gilgamesh's angry roar was finally swallowed up by the green flames, and Artoria, who was standing behind, was reflected in the light of her face, and her emerald green eyes were a little fluttering..., the white figure shot straight into the king's throne and inserted into the center of the flames of the gas green light, and in an instant the Roman theater disappeared, the sky returned to pitch black, and the castle of Einzberen came into view again...

"And the last one... And also... One, I'm going to... I'm going to protect you... Waiting for me... Wait for me..."A faint voice came from the corner of his mouth, the man on the ground had only one arm left, and the other disappeared, crawling on the ground not far from the front of Artoria slowly twisting his body, what supported him to such a point and still refused to give up, Artoria didn't understand, and didn't want to understand, the Holy Grail had already shown its full body, and it fell quietly beside the man, she threw the superfluous thoughts out of her mind, lifted the sword of victory in her hand, and took the opponent's head, Her dreams will not be lost to others either...

"There will be no more ... can hurt him. The white figure stood in front of Artoria first. Basically the same appearance. They stared at each other from behind the two intersecting blades. This is their last decisive battle.

"Red Lotus Sky Dance!" Nero snorted, the primordial fire in her hand was like a beating red elf, forcing Artoria to fight and retreat backwards, in terms of swordsmanship, she was indeed not as skilled as the woman in front of her, maybe there was some envy of the woman in front of her, someone could love her to such an extent, but looking at the Holy Grail not far away. Once again, the eyes will return to clarity and firmness.

"Is this what you want? So that she can be resurrected? What a distressing man, but in this case, you may die, do you still stick to your choice? Lin Xiu's body appeared in the mirror image of nothingness at some point, it was more like the bottom of the Holy Grail, Alice Phil walked up to him, stretched out her palm and stroked his cheek, Lin Xiu didn't make any dodge.

"Well, as long as she can live, she... It's the same as you, ma'am... What about a beloved woman. He looked at the white-haired woman in front of him with tender eyes. Maybe it's this same love that makes Lin Xiu feel so kind.

"Heh... All right... Then make your wish come true..."Alice Phil made a beautiful turn. The corners of her skirt flew up, and the black eternal evil instantly completely submerged her and Lin Xiu's figures.

"Order with the Spell, Dimurudo, destroy the Holy Grail!" The last spell on the back of Grani's hand disappeared, and Dimuludo, who had been snuggled together, struggled to get up...

"What's the matter, Grani, this is not what I want..."Dimuludo looked at Grani who had slowly begun to petrify from under his feet, tears were already filling his eyes, what he wanted was not to live alone, but to be able to accompany his beloved woman to the Yellow Springs together.

"That's what I want, I want you to live, isn't that fair? And also... I love you, my dear, and it will not change for a thousand years..."After saying this, the woman's delicate smile has completely turned into a statue and stele.

"Ahh A cry of pain resounded through the heavens and the earth, but it could not break the seal of the spell, and the red spear pierced the sky and pierced into the inside of the Holy Grail...

Sin, the evil of this world, circulating, expanding, chaining, changing, and whirlpooling, black mud fell from the air like countless dense earthworms to the ground.

"For what!" Artoria asked loudly with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't wait for an answer.

"Qing..." stopped the sword in his hand, Nero asked in a trembling voice, the original promise, the wish made to the Holy Grail was not fulfilled, the Holy Grail was completely turned into fragments in the hands of the allies, the black mud soaked her body, so that the original white wedding dress was completely dyed black, but she still didn't realize it, still numbly walked forward, rubbing her body and filtering through the black mud from head to toe Dimuludo, at this moment, everything became still, she couldn't believe it, this is Lin Xiu's purpose, She couldn't bear such a betrayal...

"You lied to me... You lied to me..."Like a crazy girl, Nero rushed madly into the whirlpool of black mud, in this world, she has nothing to fear, as long as you are by her side...

"Tifa!" In the middle of the black mud, a woman in a black skirt appeared in front of her with that quiet and pretty face, slowly opened her eyes, and in an instant, Lin Xiu's only eye flowed blood-red tears...

Looking at Lin Xiu, who has almost turned into a bloody man in front of him, everything he has done, everything he has borne and carried, although he is sleeping in the book of curses, but he has seen it completely, his deception, his cruelty, his cold-bloodedness, his evil, all of this is completely opposite to her, she doesn't want this, but she can't deny it, because, he loves himself like that, what is more important than this, if the disappearance of the demon is to let the angel live, then, the angel can also fall, You can also accompany the demon even if you go to hell, and you will never look back.

The woman's light steps gradually approached the body that had turned into a bloody person in front of her, and then gently hugged him in her arms, all this, at this moment, all the truths, became no longer so important.

"We... Go home..."The light words resounded in her ears, but she didn't even have the strength to answer, and tears rolled down from the woman's eyes, but she felt very happy, there was a person, like a demon king, who loved herself, and what else was important.

"Congratulations to Lin Xiu's contractor, Tifa? Lockhart, break through the curse limit, break the forbidden curse of true love, and the curse of the gods opens fifty percent of the state" The emotionless words corresponded to the woman's ears, and the figures of the two slowly disappeared.

"Come back! Qing, you come back..."The woman stained with black mud struggled forward in the mud, and she could clearly see the figures snuggling together in the distance, Tifa turned her face slightly, and her black eyes instantly enlarged, almost occupying the entire eyes, everything was slowed down, the woman's footsteps, the black mud that fell..., this is a curse that the god can't resist.

"Don't, don't be the rest, don't be the emperor, don't let you leave!" The petite figure tried again and again, like a lioness who was about to burst out at any time, but this strength was so small under the curse of the gods, however, she was stubbornly young like a child desperately resisting, still struggling with her strength, and finally, Tifa removed the prohibition of the curse of the gods, and everything returned to dynamics, she also loved Lin Xiu so much, everything that happened in Rome, although it was in the book of forbidden spells, it didn't mean that she didn't know, and she also understood and felt distressed, but love was such a thing, There is no right or wrong, and there is no way to cede it.

What the future will be, only the future can know, now she has to take Lin Xiu out of here, this man has carried too much, too much...

"Come back!" The light flickered, and the two figures disappeared in place, Nero opened his arms to save it, but there was nothing in his arms...

"I'm not going to let you go, I won't... Let yours go... Wheew..."Carrying the primordial fire in her hand, the girl walked slowly from the garden, the delicate back looked distressing, I wanted to hold it in my arms and love it, walking and walking, she hugged her knees, curled her body, sat on the grass, and cried bitterly.

Looking at the weaker body, curled up like that, it was so distressing, at this moment, she no longer needed the title of king, all she needed was a promise to keep, and in the end, there was nothing left by her side.

With heavy steps, his face could not be seen clearly, Dimuludo slowly moved to the side of the woman who had become a statue, and sat down quietly, the sky gradually brightened, and the sun shone on the earth again, and all that was left in the castle of Einsbelen was a man holding a stone sculpture, sitting there quietly, for many years, no one knew what he had said, what he was guarding, and when people did not want to remember the memories of the catastrophe ten years ago, the myth played its own script like this, will not stop for anyone to stop the pace of a second.

On another hill, a mountain of corpses was piled up, full of devastation, and another woman with blonde hair fell to her knees with tears in her eyes.

She let the tears on her face flow freely. In this place where there is no flow of time, whatever she thinks and does will not be recorded in history. Here, she no longer has to install the title of king for herself. Well, it doesn't matter even if you show weakness, it doesn't matter if you lose face.

With such thoughts, she moved towards the ideals that could not be accomplished, towards the people who could not be saved.

Towards everything that has disappeared because of her being king.

“…… Sorry ......"

Although she was so choked that she could barely speak, she still couldn't resist the urge to apologize. Although she knew that her apology could not be conveyed to anyone, the girl still repeated her confession.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... People like me, people like me......"

One day, after crossing endless battles, you will finally get the Holy Grail. At that time, the mistakes you have made can be erased through miracles.

Such a self should not be called a king at all.

Until the next time she is called, the maiden will confess with tears in the moment called eternity, in the rebuke called rest.

Tormented in endless punishment.

Cowardice in sins that cannot be repaid.

It's not the ending that anyone can prescribe -

Those who desire to be saved –

The One Who Longs for Salvation – (To be continued......
