"W-what?"

pitch-black liquid;

From the mouth of the Holy Grail, which seemed to be supreme and holy, it descended little by little. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The resentment that swept through the sky made it impossible to breathe, and the liquid like black mud had such malice.

"AngraMainyu (Angra Manyu) is "all the evil in this world", and was originally a demon god of Zoroastrianism. As for Servant Avenger, who was originally a harmless young man in a mountain village, he was chosen as a vessel to bear "all the evils of this world", and he was not a god in his own right. In the third war, the Einzberen family delusionally wanted to easily defeat all the other servants by summoning gods to achieve the third law, and as a result, the "AngraMainyu" summoned by various unconventional means, that is, Avenger, was just a nobody named "all the evils of this world", and was easily killed in the first night. But when sucked into the Holy Grail, a negative miracle is evoked. As the power of the wish machine, the Holy Grail received the wishes of the people entrusted to Manuel in Angola, and as a soul-only being, he received the power corresponding to the "symbol of evil" and was given a physical body to prepare for the present world. Black mud is the contents of the Holy Grail, which are black due to contamination. As for ServantAvenger, one of the summoned servants in the three battles I just said, is quite weak. ”

As for the impact of this distortion of the Holy Grail on the system of the Holy Grail war, which was parasitized and polluted by the Angolan Manuel, the function of "fulfilling the wishes of the victors" has not changed, and the Holy Grail continues to operate. Its power is enormous, and at first glance it seems that nothing has changed. However, that has indeed changed.

First of all, the first point is the way to fulfill the wish. Wishes are often interpreted in the direction of evil, often only in the form of destruction and disaster. It's like Emiya Kiritsugu's wish isn't it to save the world? Probably there would be no more wars in the world, but if he really used the Holy Grail to make this wish, then his wish would indeed come true, but it would take shape in an evil direction -- just like if all the human beings in the world were gone, then there would be no war.

And then the second point is uncontrollability. Once liberated, the Great Holy Grail will begin to flow out of "Angra Mainyu". The calamity that evokes calamity, until it destroys all the humans who should be cursed, continues to spread malice. ”

Webber carried Artoria to the other side, in the audience opposite Kiritsugu Emiya, and then put her down, watching the dark and resentful black mud slowly descend with a sneer on his lips.

"What do you mean—" Artoria's voice trembled.

"To put it simply, this is a curse of visual level, so if you open something like the Holy Grail, it will only cause endless disasters in the end, and the power overflowing from the Holy Grail should have been an all-powerful "colorless power", but under the pollution of Angola Manuelle, it has become all the evil in this world - this black you are full of malignancy, it is a curse filled with the destruction of the world, and no one can manipulate it. ”

"How could it be ......" Artoria hugged the sheath of the holy sword in her arms, obviously unable to let go.

Looking at the black mud that had descended from the Holy Grail and ravaged the place where she and Webb had stood, her emerald pupils were filled with disbelief.

It turned out that the Holy Grail that they were chasing by the Valhalla turned out to be this kind of thing?

It's ridiculous, isn't it......

"Surprised?"

While Artoria stood next to Webber in disbelief and muttered, the black and purple spirit son condensed into a beautiful woman on Webber's other side.

"There's nothing surprising to be surprised about, and it's in this state--"

The woman formed by the black and purple spirit was Skaha, and she didn't say anything to Weber when she arrived, but spoke to Artoria with a slightly playful smile.

"Not yet, you need a little external force."

Magic, burst out.

Webber and Artoria fought.

Because the magic that erupted in Skaha wasn't meant to destroy the Holy Grail or the Black Mud...... The purpose of her magic explosion was to make the black mud land even faster!

"What are you doing, Lancer!" Artoria exclaimed.

This time, even Webb's expression was a little surprised.

Skaha, something unusual.

If the black mud originally flowed down from the mouth of the Holy Grail at the speed of a stream, it was activated by Skaha like a wave!

“Rider！ I command you with a commanding spell! Destroy the Holy Grail with a Noble Phantasm! At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been silent all along, was standing in the audience opposite the three Webers, suddenly raised his right hand and used the spell.

And as soon as he used it, he directly asked Artoria to use the Noble Phantasm to destroy the Holy Grail that he was desperately pursuing.

"Huh?"

Artoria's body froze, and the silver holy horse in front of her appeared as Avalon, which she was holding in her arms, fell to the ground.

“Rho… Rhongom… yniad..."She mounted on the holy horse and summoned the holy spear, and then, intermittently, and apparently unwillingly, uttered the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

"I'm waiting for you!"

However, when he had just said the name of the Noble Phantasm, the Noble Phantasm still had a split second before it was released, Skarha sneered.

The five fingers of his right hand were opened, and the blood-colored magic spear suddenly appeared, and the blood-colored streamer flashed.

"Pss

Blood, flying in the air.

"Master!" Webb's eyes widened.

Skaha, without hesitation, aimed at Artoria, who was standing in front of her on the holy horse and with his back to her, and stabbed him with a single shot.

Directly, piercing her chest, letting scarlet blood spurt out.

"Ahem......"

Artoria coughed up a few mouthfuls of bright red liquid, and the holy horse slowly disappeared with a scream, and Artoria fell to the ground with a pop.

Blood flowed from her pierced chest and mouth, lying all over the ground.

"Artoria!" Webber didn't care about anything else, and got down on one knee to hold Artoria, who was almost completely on the ground.

"You ......" Webb looked at the pale blonde woman with a bleak face and even a little Lingzi on her body soon, and opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Artoria reluctantly pulled out a smile and shook her head at Weber, then looked at Skaha: "Your Excellency is really decisive." ”

"Hmph, if I'm not decisive, Webb, the Holy Grail that he worked so hard to get would have been ruined by you." Skaha pursed his lips and said casually.

"Holy Grail, ruined?" Artoria smiled suddenly, but this made the blood drain from the corners of her mouth faster: "I wonder if you care more about the destruction of the Holy Grail or the destruction of love?" Ahaha. ”

Artoria laughed out loud, and then completely turned into a spirit child and disappeared.
