Magical Comprehensive Travel

The killing continues.

bullet. dagger. poison. bomb. run through. torn. combustion. immersion. overwhelming.

Never doubted its meaning. After carefully weighing its worth, the side of the balance was chosen. The other side should leave it empty, so kill. Kill, kill, keep killing.

Yes, that is correct. In order to save the majority, someone must sacrifice. If the happy side is protected more than the unfortunate side, then the world is closer to being saved.

Even with countless corpses underfoot. If there are lives saved because of this, then the most important thing is these protected lives.

"Yeah, Kiritsugu. You're right."

Turning his head, he saw his wife standing beside him. She approached Kiritsugu with a gentle and loving smile, and stood beside him on the mountain of corpses.

"I knew you would definitely come to accompany me. I believe that if it was you, I would definitely be able to get here."

"Eli--" The nostalgic face. But there was something else that made him feel a little wrong.

Perhaps it was because she was wearing a black dress that she had never seen before, and although that was one of the reasons, Kiritsugu still felt like he had overlooked something important.

By the way, what happened to Saber? What happened to the remaining three groups of enemies? What about Kotomine Kirei? So many questions, what should I ask?

Kiritsugu had no choice but to say the first question he wanted to ask. "This is—where?"

"This is the place where your wishes can come true. The inner side of the Holy Grail you are after." Irisviel replied with a smile.

Kiritsugu was speechless and turned his head to look around. The black mud rolled with waves like the sea. There were mountains of dry corpses everywhere, sinking into the sea. The sky is red, as red as blood. In the black mud rain, the dark sun dominates the sky.

Wind is curse and mourning. If there are words to use as a metaphor, here—where is not hell?

"You said... this is the Holy Grail?"

"Yeah, but don't be afraid. It's just something like an unformed dream. Now it's waiting to be born. Look there."

Alice Phil pointed to the sky. The black vortex in the sky was initially mistaken for the sun by Kiritsugu. There is the center of the world, a 'hole' in the sky. The unfathomable darkness inside, the density seems to crush everything.

"That is the Holy Grail. Although it has no form yet, the container is filled. Then it is only necessary to pray. According to the entrusted wishes, it can change into the corresponding shape. Then it can acquire the posture and shape of the world, and then Can appear 'outside'."

"Okay, hurry up and pray. Hurry up and give it a 'form'. You are the only one worthy to define its shape. Kiritsugu, pray to the Holy Grail."

Emiya Kiritsugu said nothing, just stared at the terrifying 'hole'.

"Who are you?" Kiritsugu suppressed the fear in his heart with anger and asked the wife in front of him.

"If the preparation for the Holy Grail has been completed, it means that Irisviel is dead. Then, who are you?"

"I'm Irisviel. You can think so."

Kiritsugu raised the magic spear in his right hand—the Contender's muzzle was aimed at the person in front of him.

"Don't fool me, answer quickly!"

Facing the muzzle full of murderous intent, the woman in the black dress smiled a little desolately, as if to show pity to Kiritsugu who was pressing for the truth.

"Yes, I don't deny that it's just a mask. If I don't borrow a 'body' that already has a personality, I can't communicate with others. I just pretend to be like this to convey my wishes. However, what I have Irisviel's personality is real. I was the last person to have contact with her before she disappeared. So I inherited Irisviel's last wish. She wanted me to be her 'original' Appear."

Hearing this, Kiritsugu made an intuitive understanding. This place is called the 'inside of the Holy Grail', so this person who claims to be 'no one' in front of him should be——

"Are you the consciousness of the Holy Grail?"

"Well, this explanation is correct." Through Irisviel's body, it nodded in agreement.

But this time, Kiritsugu frowned suspiciously. "Impossible. The Holy Grail is just pure 'power', it can't have any consciousness at all."

"It might have been like this before, but it's different now. I have consciousness and desire. My desire is 'hope to be born into this world'."

"How can it be?"

"Since you say you are conscious, then I ask you, how will the Holy Grail fulfill my wish?"

As if encountering a problem, Irisviel tilted her head slightly.

"This question - Kiritsugu, you should understand better than anyone, don't you?"

"What did you say?"

"Your existence as a human is already infinitely close to the Holy Grail. Therefore, even if you communicate with me like this, you can remain rational. If you were a normal human, you would have a nervous breakdown when you were touched by that mud."

Irisviel uttered her words cheerfully and happily. Her smile caused Kiritsugu's heart to stir for some reason.

"Didn't you already know the way to save the world. So I will inherit your practice and fulfill your wishes as you have always done."

"What are you--what?" Kiritsugu couldn't understand.

"Answer me, what is the Holy Grail going to do? If that thing comes to the world, what will happen?"

For each other's answers, Irisviel sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "No way. Then next, I will only ask you to ask your own heart."

The soft white palm covered Kiritsugu's eyes.

………………

"Saber, this fight is just the two of us."

"Hope, I didn't expect my opponent to be you. To be honest, I don't have much confidence in defeating you, but I can't just admit defeat."

"Come on then, Saber, with the sword in hand. Stormwing!"

"Okay, just use the sword to decide the outcome! Ha!"

"Bang!" The collision of the sword and the sword played a moving movement.

"Go on, Saber! Nether God Ryu - Sword Dance Statue."

So strong, can't fight recklessly. Saber thought in his heart that the movements in his hands were not slow, and instead of confronting Mu Hantian, he blocked with all his strength. but……

"Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Saber with a Command Spell—"

The deep words shook Saber's body from the depths of her soul. This voice, which was so familiar that it could no longer be familiar, announced it clearly and firmly.

"Use the Noble Phantasm to destroy the Holy Grail—"

How to interpret the meaning of this sentence, how to understand it, Saber's mind went blank.

"What...?" The whirlwind rolled up to disperse the flames around. From the center of the disarmed Wind King barrier, the golden sword appeared.

Even though Saber's brain refused to understand, her Servant's body still faithfully accepted the Command Spell's orders. The sword began to weave beams, completely ignoring the will of the sword bearer.

"No... No!" Saber roared, and that was the scream she tried with all her strength. The golden sword raised high suddenly stopped in mid-air.

As the legendary king of knights and a Servant of the best class, Saber possesses super-class anti-magic power that can even resist the restraints of Command Spells. She used all her strength to stop herself from swinging the sword. Power and restraint, two opposing forces collided violently in Saber's body, her slender body seemed to be torn apart at any time.

This excruciating and unimaginable pain reminded Saber of Dirumdo Oddi's deathbed. At this moment, she also had a personal experience of the anguish and humiliation that the tragic Heroic Spirit had tasted.

While fighting against the powerful magic, Saber shouted while staring at Emiya Kiritsugu who was standing in the box. "Why? Kiritsugu—why is it you?"

impossible. He could not have given such an order. Emiya Kiritsugu was so eager to get the Holy Grail, so why did he refuse the Holy Grail at this moment? Does he want to make the ritual that his beloved wife realizes with her life completely in vain?
