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.
Irisviel disappeared.
The sea in front of me and the raindrops on my head all disappeared.
Emiya Kiritsugu came to a place similar to a hotel bedroom with two beds.
"This, here is..."
"There were three hundred people on one boat and two hundred on the other."
Before Emiya Kiritsugu could react, the TV in the room lit up, and a male voice introduced Emiya Kiritsugu.
On the TV screen, there were exactly two ships.
"There are a total of five hundred people on the two ships, including you, Emiya Kiritsugu."
"Suppose that the five hundred and one of you are the last human beings, and now there is a hole in the bottom of the two ships that is big enough for the ships to sink."
"Only you, Emiya Kiritsugu, have mastered the repair technology on this ship, and you can only repair one of the ships before it sinks, so——"
"Which ship's hole will you choose to repair? Emiya Kiritsugu."
the voice asked.
"The ship with three hundred people."
Emiya Kiritsugu answered this question almost without hesitation.
For others, this may be a question that requires hesitation, but for him, he will only make a choice faster.
“Very quick decision.”
"So, what if the following happens?"
"Two hundred people on the other ship captured you, and you couldn't escape."
'They asked you to repair their ship first.'
"What should you do now? Emiya Kiritsugu."
"this......"
Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated.
And right now.
--boom!!!
Explosions and gunshots came from the direction of the window.
