"teacher……"
Weber looked nervous.
"Don't worry, they mean no harm."
But Iskandar saw that the so-called supervisor was also standing nearby, so he should not be specially prepared for an ambush.
"Rider is here too, who's left now?"
Yan Fengli was about to look around.
"There's only one left."
Emiya Kiritsugu was clearly ready.
"My son, Assassin's Master has already sacrificed his Servant. These three Command Seals are proof of this."
Kotomine Li was rolling up her sleeves, revealing her arms covered with Command Seals to show the results.
The Overseer is responsible for supervising the order of the Holy Grail War, which includes the responsibility of protecting the loser. In order to prove that the loser has lost his qualifications, his Command Seals will be stripped from him. The stripped Command Seals will not disappear, but instead remain in the hands of the Overseer. These dozens of Command Seals are the last remnants of the last Holy Grail War.
Among them, three Command Spells are particularly eye-catching. Their bright red color proves that they have not been precipitated by time and were obtained recently.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Miojin and Tamamonomae just arrived, and on their way they checked the rituals that had been arranged earlier.
Fortunately, it was not destroyed.
"……Who are you?"
It was obviously the first time that Kotomine Risei met Mizotsu.
She's also a Shinto shrine maiden.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Master Caster, and I'm also the acting Master of Lancer and Berserker. There's no need to mention my real name."
Yu Zhuanjin nodded politely, and then a figure appeared beside him.
Lancer, Diarmait.
"Your Majesty."
Diarmait stood beside Kayneth.
"Where's Berserker?"
Now they only lack this one Servant, and based on the situation, Kotomine Risei does not think that Berserker will retire, otherwise they would not need to sacrifice Assassin.
"No hurry. Before that, I believe everyone has already figured out the specific situation."
Yuzhongjin asked first.
"I have no idea!"
Waver immediately interrupted the conversation. He only remembered that he had signed a transaction contract and lent Rider's Noble Phantasm to the other party, but looking at the situation, it was clear that something was not right.
Everyone except Assassin, Archer and Berserker are present, and Assassin seems to be dead, while Berserker is still in the hands of the miko.
Only Archer was missing.
"Tonight, the ceremony to summon the Holy Grail will begin. The Einzbern family will be in charge of this matter, and the supervisors from the Magic Association and the Holy Church will supervise it. Finally, all Servants will fight against Archer together."
Yuzhuanjin looked at Iskandar and asked, "Is it okay?"
"I am only responsible for opening the treasure once."
Iskandar did not give a direct answer.
"that's enough."
Yuzhuanjin didn't ask for too much.
"So, what happened?"
Weber was still asking around.
"Didn't you explain it to him clearly?"
Kenneth asked Yuzhongjin.
"No, anyway, I was tricked first."
Yuzhongjin said honestly.
"Why don't you explain it first!"
Waver was anxious. He was the only one who knew nothing. Rider was unmoved and probably thought it didn't matter whether he knew or not. It seemed that something went wrong with the Holy Grail ritual, and Archer seemed to have done something wrong, so he was besieged by the supervisors.
Now that he understood the situation, Iskandar maintained the calmness of a king.
"Master Rider, I regret to inform you that as the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, I declare the ceremony terminated. There may be a problem with the Holy Grail, so it needs to be inspected. Regardless of the result, the Fourth Holy Grail War will be forcibly shut down."
Kotomine Ri was explaining.
"I can tell."
Iskandar was not surprised.
"How can you see everything? We have always been together!"
Hearing this, Waver said madly.
Obviously, Rider is the big fool.
"Finally, let me introduce my Berserker."
Yuzhongjin did not explain the matter of Avenger, but instead adopted a more direct way of expression and released the Gorgon.
The moment the Gorgon appeared, the atmosphere on the scene dropped to freezing point.
Kotomine Riseng narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized this aura. Although it was full of madness, it was more of the evil aura of Angola Mainyu back then.
This is not Berserker, this is Avenger.
Kotomine Risho was well aware of this.
"What's this……"
Weber clutched the chariot's guardrail, felt his legs going weak, and instinctively looked away.
"The legendary monster, the Gorgon."
Yuzhongjin explained: "She will assist you, even at the cost of her life, and your opponent is far stronger than her."
Even though he had seen it once, Emiya Kiritsugu was still shocked.
Artoria standing aside had a heavy expression on her face.
The Gorgon was not the main cause, but the contaminated Holy Grail.
She has a long-cherished wish to save the country, but now she has to give up. She is unwilling to do so. However, if the Holy Grail is abnormal and cannot fulfill her wish, then she wants it to be useless.
only……
After all, I can't give up that obsession.
“Saber, I’m counting on you.”
Irisviel held Altria's hand tightly, and the latter looked a little hesitant.
"……I know."
After more than a year of getting along, Artoria has a new respect for the woman in front of her. As an artificial human, she has been carrying a heavy fate and has been tenaciously holding on until now, but she has been teased by fate again.
Even if it's not for myself.
She also wants the other person to get the happiness he deserves.
"let's start."
Kenneth gave instructions.
All the servants rushed to the outside of the hall and explored the surrounding movements in every corner.
Ordinary people within a radius of several thousand meters were prompted by magic to leave, and they will be the only ones here tonight.
Irisviel was lying on a stone slab.
Emiya Kiritsugu chanted the spell he had memorized countless times.
The spiritual energy from the earth vein nodes was drawn and then poured into Alice's body on a large scale.
The essence of the Lesser Holy Grail is triggered, connecting with the Greater Holy Grail through the spiritual vein.
Alice couldn't help but purse her lips slightly, and the magic power gradually got out of her control and began to operate autonomously.
The body functions shut down, and Irisviel's body was affected and floated up, with golden spirit particles condensing at the position of her heart.
This is the omnipotent and omniscient Holy Grail!
Even though it's just an empty shell at the moment.
……
The other side of Fuyuki City.
Gilgamesh sensed the rich magical power unique to the Holy Grail and only then did he reveal himself.
"Damn thief."
Gilgamesh, filled with rage, set his sights on the Holy Grail. All the treasures in the world belong to him, including the Holy Grail!
……
"Get ready to fight."
Diarmait, who was in the Civic Hall, immediately felt a terrifying magical force coming, and a flying boat appeared in the sky.
It is a war weapon in ancient Indian mythology.
——Vimana!
The surface of the flying boat was covered with gold and gems. It was obvious that the person coming was Gilgamesh.
At the same time, Gilgamesh looked down at the Servants around the Civic Hall.
boom!
However, a dark shadow pounced first.
With one strike, Vimana was destroyed.
"Ayrrrrrr!"
The Gorgon flapped the pair of golden wings behind him, and the strange power he exerted was unmatched.
"You wild beast!"
Gilgamesh obviously felt humiliated.
The battle is about to break out.
The golden ripples across the sky are like daylight tearing apart the veil of night.
Hundreds of golden treasures fell like a rain of arrows.
“…Rider!”
Waver reacted immediately. Archer's attack was so fierce that he couldn't block it all. If any of them slipped through the net and broke into the hall, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I understand!"
Iskandar knew that now was the time for him to show his might, so he shouted, "Cheer for the king, my soldiers!"
——The King’s Army!
……
"As long as I still have ambitions for the distant future, the expedition will not end here!"
As Iskandar finished his words, the surrounding space began to distort, and figures suddenly appeared, followed by hot winds that swept outward.
The scorching sun burned the earth, and the view was extremely vast, extending to the other side of the horizon covered by violent sandstorms, and to the other side of the cloudless sky.
The Civic Hall at night was transformed into a strange vision in an instant, obviously an illusion that eroded reality. It was the ultimate magic that was as famous as miracles.
——Inherent barrier!
