"How will the Holy Grail grant my wish?"
unreasonable.
A sense of asynchrony.
Even... a little creepy.
Emiya Kiritsugu did feel the familiar aura of his wife on Irisviel in front of him. What she said was probably not false. She had indeed inherited Irisviel's personality and memory.
But besides these things, there is definitely...definitely something more.
Emiya Kiritsugu wasn't sure what it was.
So...he needs to figure it out.
.......
"Archer!"
The treasure armor was covered with light. Annuo broke free from the black mud, looked at Gilgamesh standing on the flying treasure phantom, frowned and shouted.
"What's happening now!?"
Annuo asked.
"Are you...asking me a question?"
"Bastard."
call out--
Dozens of treasury doors opened, and golden treasures flashed towards Annuo. Their scale was even larger than when Rider was killed.
But Anno's basic parameters and combat skills as a Saber are incomparable to Rider's.
The Holy Sword waved, cutting away all the Noble Phantasms that came towards him, and Annuo gritted his teeth.
The place where he and Gilgamesh were was the Fuyuki Civic Hall.
Here, it has completely turned into a sea of ​​black mud, and the Holy Grail can be vaguely seen, but——
"Get off! Gilgamesh!"
Emiya Kiritsugu is missing, and the black mud is still spreading around. If it is not stopped, the entire Fuyuki City will be in crisis, and that bastard Gilgamesh——
Zheng——
The holy light formed a crescent moon and struck Gilgamesh in the sky.
Crash--
The chain lay across the path, blocking Annuo's slash.
"You and I are the final opponents of this Holy Grail War. Let's decide the outcome here, bastard."
"......good."
Looking at everything in front of him, An Nuo couldn't help but think of Zuo Cun's words.
[How much will your Master, the man named Emiya Kiritsugu, lose? 】
[Go and try your best to win the victory you dream of, and then see how much you have to lose.]
Having reached this point, how much has Emiya Kiritsugu lost?
Annuo clenched the holy sword in his hand, the blood vessels on his forehead bulged, and his eyes even turned red.
Anno, I don’t like Emiya Kiritsugu.
Some even dislike Emiya Kiritsugu.
Emiya Kiritsugu was a person who would use any means to achieve his goals. He was an absolute results-oriented person. His hands were stained with unnecessary blood just for his overly ideal, even naive, and even ridiculous wishes.
【World Peace】
For this wish, he is like a train rushing towards the cliff. He knows clearly what is waiting for him in the end, but he still has no hesitation and does not care about his own life.
He is despicable, he is vicious, he is terrifying, and almost all of his personality traits are not to Annuo's liking.
Only the final wish.
Annuo respects and even looks up to him.
This is also the reason why, even though he clearly dislikes Emiya Kiritsugu, he is still willing to fight for Emiya Kiritsugu as a servant, and even tolerates some of Emiya Kiritsugu's behaviors.
but--
"If the result of everything Kiritsugu pursues is the ending before him."
Buzz——
Annuo held the holy sword in his hand with both hands, and the glow suddenly roared. The light of the holy sword looked like a huge two-handed sword.
Annuo restrained the Holy Light and also indulged the Holy Light.
"I must erase everything."
"Let noble people lose their ideals - is there anything more cruel than this in this world!?"
Annuo roared.
"Get off here!!!"
------boom!!!!!!
The huge and heavy silver-white light blasted towards Gilgamesh.
"Is this all you want to say? Bastard?"
Facing Anno's anger, Gilgamesh laughed.
"and you--"
"Just go die."
Key to heaven!
The Key of Heaven appeared from the King's Treasure House, turned into a huge spear, and was thrown towards the light by Gilgamesh.
The key to the sky intersects with the chalk, Gilgamesh——
It did fall.
He threw away the useless golden armor, chains and keys on his body and appeared in his hands.
Tangled in chains.
The key penetrates the heart (spiritual core).
The red lines on Gilgamesh's body, representing divinity, flicker like breathing.
"This is the final battlefield."
The king declared.
In the Fuyuki Civic Hall shrouded in black mud, the White Knight of Britain and the Hero King of Mesopotamia looked at each other, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"I'll kill you, Archer."
Annuo held the huge Sword of Holy Light in his hand and spoke in a low voice.
"Then let's try it."
Gilgamesh's voice was as contemptuous as ever.
--boom!!!
This was not the first time the two of them had fought each other in the Holy Grail War, and they both exploded with all their strength in an instant.
The sky in the early morning is still dark.
It was as if dawn would never come.
...
"Go and ask your own heart."
After these words, the scene in front of Emiya Kiritsugu changed.
To be continued...
