CHAPTER XVI
From afar, Emiya Kiritsugu watched the fierce battle between Saber and Berserker, and the Servant, who wanted to help him, had no idea what to do.
"Maiya, can you see Berserker's Master over there?"
"Sorry, I can't see it. ”
Hearing Maiya's answer, Kiritsugu frowned. The location of the two of them is exactly the dead end of each other. In this way, Berserker's master cannot be found, which only shows that the other party also prioritizes hiding his own type and does not command the Servant battle on the spot.
(Looks like this guy is more cautious than Lancer's Master.)
For Kiritsugu, this unassuming opponent is much tougher than Kenneth.
On the other side, Reilly began to talk to Rider, "King of Conquest, do you want to fight my Riven?"
"No, I'm going to wait for her to break up with Lancer before fighting the winner. Rider said calmly.
"So, Lancer's opinion?"
"I also want to continue to duel Riven. Lancer laughed and said, "Bet on each other's honors......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Kenneth: "Retreat, Lancer." This is the end of tonight's battle. ”
"But ......"
"I told you to retreat!"
“...... I see. "Lancer turned into a spirit and vanished.
"Lancer is so pathetic to have met such a Master. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Since we can't fight, let's talk about the Holy Grail, the King of Conquest." ”
"Speaking of the Holy Grail...... Rider touched his chin and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to be a bystander?"
"That being said, we cannot sit idly by and ignore your actions. Reilly smiled and said, "I'll be bothered if some despicable people get the Holy Grail." ”
Rider laughed, "You mean Lancer's Master?"
"Who knows?" said Reilly, smiling mysteriously, "So, what is Mr. Webber's wish?"
"Yes, are you asking me?" Webb was stunned for a moment, then said with a proud look, "I, what I want is a fair evaluation from the world." I'm going to prove my strength in the Holy Grail War and change the minds of those who underestimate me. ”
“...... Mr. Webb, are you making a mistake?" Reilly sighed helplessly and said, "The Holy Grail War is no ordinary magic competition, are you really ready to come here?"
"When, of course!" said Webber, grimly, "Indeed, my desire to prove myself is very small compared to yours...... But it was indeed a wish worth risking my life! The name Weber Velvet is destined to be etched in the history of magicians!"
His nervousness and fear were completely visible to anyone. However, in such a situation, Webb still forced himself to look at Reilly. The magician's instincts told him that to retreat here was to give up on his dreams. For Webb, it was something worse than death.
"I see. Reilly gave Webber a deep look and said, "Webb, I admit that you are a master worthy of the king of conquest. ”
"What...... Webber said dissatisfiedly, "did you think I was a fool before?"
"Don't worry about this kind of detail. Rider patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as the result is good." ”
At this time, the battle between Saber and Berserker was also over.
It wasn't that they were so quick to decide the winner, but that Berserker's Master summoned him back with a spell.
"It seems that this is the only way to end today. Reilly said with a smile.
Saber looked at Rider and asked, "What are you here for?" ”
"Ah, I haven't thought much of this kind of thing. Rider shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let the historians of the future generations find the reason, we heroes just need to show their blood on the battlefield." ”
"That's what only a king can say. Saber said disappointedly. She pursues the way of a knight who is honest and self-denying, and is inherently incompatible with a rampant guy like Rider.
"Oh, isn't my royal way an anomaly? Hmph, that's a matter of course. Rider said with a smile, "All royal roads are unique, and the two of us are incompatible. You're trying to divide the world into black and white. ”
"That's exactly what I expected!" Saber said with a resolute face, "I'm going to ...... today."
"Okay, okay, don't be so angry. Rider waved his hand and said, "Saber, when you and Berserker decide the winner, I'll come to the winner to duel." ”
"Stupid, didn't you already make an agreement with Riven, why do you want to provoke Saber again!"
Rider laughed and said, "Eating, sleeping, falling in love, fighting, whatever you do, you have to enjoy it, this is the secret of life!"
"I don't think there's any joy in these four things. Webb said weakly, "And I haven't experienced love and fighting." ”
"Well, you should hurry up and experience it. As soon as Rider pulled the reins, the two sacred cows neighed and ran towards the sky.
Alice Fell asked tentatively, "Mr. Reilly, do you want to fight?"
"Until then, there's one more thing to confirm. Reilly smiled and said, "Alice Phil, what is your wish?"
"My wish?" Alice Phil was stunned for a moment, then showed a resolute expression and said, "I want to help my husband fulfill his dream." ”
"So, what is Emiya Kiritsugu's dream?" asked Reilly with interest.
Alice Phil said without hesitation: "My husband, Emiya Kiritsugu's long-cherished wish is to save humanity, to put an end to all wars, and to achieve eternal peace. ”
“...... This is indeed not something that humans can do. ”
Reilly finally knows the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu saw through the red dust.
The Holy Grail has long been contaminated in the Third War and has become a container for "the evils of this world". After discovering this truth, Emiya Kiritsugu's dreams and beliefs will come to naught. If he hadn't met Shirou at the end, he might not have had the courage to live.
"Eternal peace?" Riven said thoughtfully, "Is that really good?"
"Let's go, Riven. Reilly patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's time to visit the next one." ”
Watching him and Riven disappear into the night, Alice Phil breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around, and the warehouse street was unrecognizable, and it looked worse than the scene of the earthquake.
Six Servants gathered, and Archer and Berserker unleashed devastating Noble Phantasms that wreaked havoc on the battlefield.
The Holy Grail War was so fierce at the beginning that Alice Phil couldn't imagine what it would be like in the future.
