Chapter 5 The End of the Holy Grail
There is no semicircular box protruding outward on the wall at the height of the second floor. Under the illumination of the fire, a silhouette wearing a long windbreaker like a dead soul appeared under the fire. It was the real master who had signed a contract with Saber - Kiritsugu Emiya.
Kiritsugu, who is fighting the archer's master, appears on this battlefield. The only explanation is that Kiritsugu has won an endless battle, the archer's master has been defeated, and now the archer has lost the source of magic from its master, and can only fight with the only magic power left in his body.
——If the archer cannot defeat the enemy before his magic is exhausted, he will inevitably face the end of defeat.
At this critical moment, humans will never be the opponent of the server. Faced with the golden archer who is strong and easily defeated the rider and saber, Kiritsugu can hide in a corner of the battlefield and wait for the war to end.
Even if his servant Saber is defeated by Archer, as long as he has the chance to give the weakest Saber a final blow, the Holy Grail will easily fall into Kiritsugu's hands.
However, after experiencing the battle with Saber's master, Kiritsugu, who was covered in bruises and exhausted, appeared here without caring about his own safety.
The gray-black windbreaker was not much damaged, and the clumpy blood that oozed from the inside out also emitted only a bloody smell in the dark. Only Kiritsugu knew how dangerous he had experienced a quarter of an hour ago and how desperate he had experienced more than death.
So much so that the man who is now floating in the ruins like a dead soul is only the body named Kiritsugu Emiya.
Facing the gorgeous battle in front of him like a mythical era, Kiritsugu was not moved at all in the shadow of the fire.
Facing the craters full of bullets and constantly shaking, there were dangerous battlefields in the sky with treasures falling from time to time, and he also remained indifferent and cold.
His empty eyes wandered, and he saw berserker who was charging towards Archer with his back to him - the warrior who was unexpectedly not even surprised.
As his eyes passed by berserker, there were countless treasures shining with glory and dancing in the sky - Kiritsugu never felt any fear.
A golden figure stood behind the treasure - that was not the target that could attract Kiritsutsu.
He just looked at it empty, looking for...
Finally, a blue figure appeared in his sight and saw the target. What we had to do below is—
Kiritsugu raised his right hand to reveal the spell engraved on the back of his hand.
A mysterious connection came from the depths of Saber's soul. Saber stopped in surprise. His eyesight far beyond humans easily captured the figure of the master on the side of the Holy Grail in the shadow standing opposite the auditorium, and saw Kiritsugu's right hand raised.
It turned out that the master came over. He had seen his own adverse situation and decided on his next strategy: to use the spell to defeat the enemy.
Yes, we still have the order mantra, but Kiritsugu still has the coercion power in his hands. The appearance of Kiritsugu can indicate that the archer's master - Kiriri Yonemori, is no longer threatening.
Several masters of heroes, including lancer, caster, assassin, etc., also died one by one, and the master of rider may have been solved by archer. Losing the master of berserker is not worth worrying.
If we use the magic power of magic that can turn the impossible into possible, we will definitely win this war.
Fortunately, although Kiritsugu and Archer were standing face to face, there was a berserker and countless treasures. Archer did not discover Kiritsugu's existence, but berserker, who was rushing towards Archer with his back to Kiritsugu, would not find Kiritsugu.
——Emiya Kiritsugu ordered saber with a spell—
The deep words shook her body from the depths of Saber's soul. This voice, which was so familiar that it could not be more familiar, was announced clearly and firmly.
What kind of command will be issued depends entirely on Kiritsugu. But Saber has made up his mind that no matter how weird the tactics he intends to use, she will do her best to implement them. As long as she can win, no matter what means it is.
Even if his order is to abandon the pain and try his best, Saber can ignore the pain in his body and exert the maximum strength in his body until his body dies.
If he ordered her to move to the Holy Grail in an instant, she would be able to escape from her extremely unfavorable position. Perhaps she could also knock down Archer and berserker by precisely adjusting and swinging the "Sword of Victory of the Oath" without hurting the Holy Grail.
This is the ability of the mantra. If the mantra is executed with permission from both the master and the server, no matter how impossible it is, it can be accomplished.
Saber now entrusts all his victory to this last hope, because only it can bring a shocking reversal to the current situation.
——Use treasures and destroy the Holy Grail—
How should we explain the meaning of this sentence and how should we understand it? Saber's mind suddenly became blank.
"Varied……?"
The rolled whirlwind dispelled the flames around. From the center of the lifted Wind King barrier, the figure of the Golden Sword appeared.
Even though Saber's brain refused to understand, her body as a servant still faithfully accepted the command of the spell. The sword began to weave a beam of light, completely ignoring the will of the sword holder.
"What, what's going on - what are you going to do!?"
Noting the magic power condensed behind him, Archer, who looked back at this scene, was also dumbfounded at this moment. He originally thought that because he was facing the Holy Grail, Saber would never be able to fight back against him.
"No...no!"
Saber roared, it was the scream she made with all her strength. The golden sword raised high suddenly stopped moving in the air.
As a legendary hero and a servant in the best rank, Saber has the super magic resistance and even resists the constraints of spells. She used all her strength to stop her from swinging the sword.
Power and inhibition, two opposing forces collided violently in Saber's body, and her slender body seemed to be torn apart at any time.
While fighting against the powerful magic, Saber stared at Kiritsugu Emiya who was standing in the box and shouted.
"Why!? Kiritsugu-Why is it you!?"
It is impossible. He cannot issue such a command.
Kiritsugu Emiya was so eager to get the Holy Grail, so why did he refuse the Holy Grail at this moment? Could it be that he wanted to let the ceremony that his beloved wife achieved with her life be wasted?
After understanding that Saber's unusual behavior was the effect of the curse, Archer finally realized the existence of Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Do you want to destroy my Holy Grail, bastard!"
The group of treasures that had originally aimed at berserker suddenly turned and the arc passed by beserker and flew towards the private room where Kiritsugu was.
The glorious "boat" formed by gold and emerald gemstones appeared at the foot of the archer. The golden archer stood proudly on the boat and rose slowly. More treasures flew out of the void. The fierce Archer was ready to destroy the enemies in front of him, along with this land, under his treasures.
But before the treasure began to attack, Kiritsugu once again raised his right hand and signaled to the back of his hand to the saber downwards - there was still the last spell on it.
——Use the third order spell to command again—
"stop!!"
Seeing that his pride and hope were about to be wiped out in an instant, Saber screamed in tears.
——saber, destroy the Holy Grail—
This is an absolute power that cannot resist.
The huge force of the double curse ravaged and squeezed Saber's body, and at the same time, it drew out the remaining magic power in her body and incorporated it into the light of destruction.
The released beam of light crossed the entire auditorium and hit the Holy Grail floating on the stage. The flying archer avoided the attack, but because the light beam at close range was too dazzling, he missed the opportunity to kill Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu easily changed his position and flashed through the initial attack.
The golden holy grail pursued by all masters and servants quietly lost its form in the scorching heat of light, and then disappeared before everyone.
Saber closed his eyes and dared not look at this scene - now, the final hope was shattered. Her battle was over.
Since that's the case, how could I witness this tragic scene with my eyes open?
In fact, she never opened her eyes again. The treasure that violated her intention to force her power had exhausted all the remaining magic power of Saber, and she could not even maintain the physical form of the server.
Saber lost the power and will to stay in this world. Of course, this is also because the master, who is a contractor, does not intend to leave her behind.
Keeping the posture of swinging the sword, Saber began to escape from the world, and soon, her entity disappeared.
"roar----!!"
At the moment when the intersection with the real world was gradually losing its point of intersection, a crazy roar woke up the audience.
Saber noticed a figure leaping from the battlefield, which was berserker.
I don't know how he flashed through the terrifying torrent of light quickly. Perhaps in order to dodge the light beam, he had to face Archer's treasure directly. His whole body was penetrated by countless sharp weapons. Even the heroic spirit could never bear the serious damage. However, berserker pulled out two swords from his body as if nothing had happened, and roared and jumped towards Archer in the air...
The scene that Saber saw was interrupted from then on, and her connection with the present world was completely over.
At the last moment, Saber could hardly stop his resentment and curse of Emiya Kiritsugu.
——Let him die in the attack of the last two Servants!
This man full of mystery is clearly a lovely father who loves his daughter and a warrior who hopes to save the world, but in the end he betrayed everything and denied everything. Even the holy grail left by his wife who has been pursuing has to be destroyed.
Until the end, Saber could be sure of such a man, only his inner coldness and ruthlessness.
Until the end, neither he nor her could understand each other and build a trust relationship - no, maybe it should be said that she knew the last moment, and she realized that she had not understood his true thoughts at all.
But, this is understandable—
In the gradually disappearing consciousness, Saber laughed at himself.
How can a man who has no intersection except for three orders to him? Such a man has never been able to understand even the hearts of the people around him.
All of this may be a long and tactful punishment that is tormenting the "king who doesn't understand other people's moods".
