All sorts of illusions clashed in his mind, and even the nightmares he had last night began to ravage his head.
It seemed that if he were to unleash this sword strike, the world would enter its final countdown to doomsday...
The sword in his hand was now almost too heavy to hold, and the wind that had just been gathered into the sword of discord began to tear the earth apart in a disorderly manner.
Both El-Melloi II and Mashu noticed his unusual behavior and looked worried.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also knew that this was a critical moment, not a time to make mistakes. The so-called dream was just a dream. At this moment, Mashu was facing the crisis of death. How could she be swayed by an absurd dream?
He struggled to control his body, biting his tongue with his teeth. A drop of blood from his tongue flowed into his stomach, and his consciousness briefly cleared.
Now the only option is to force the body to deliver that crucial sword strike; there's only one way.
"I command myself with Command Spells..."
Before the Command Spell could be activated, a familiar voice rang out; it was the same person who had just snorted coldly.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, that's not how you use the Heaven-Opening Sword. Leave your precious Command Seals to that little girl over there. As for this place, let me demonstrate the true way to use the Heaven-Opening Sword for you!"
Gilgamesh's voice reached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears. At that moment, he only felt someone supporting his body and holding the hilt of the Heaven-Opening Sword with him.
The chaotic winds returned to the cylinder of the sword.
At this moment, the world turns upside down.
Light and shadow were both obscured by the raging magic.
The wind that escaped cut through the air, and the barriers of the world were thus opened up.
The air layer transcends the physical boundaries and continues to increase in density, eventually turning into a weapon capable of chopping everything into pieces, and then begins to devour space itself.
Extreme tornadoes overlapped, forming several different spiral trajectories, and fell from the sky onto Tiamat's body.
Tiamat, who was already on the verge of collapse after being suddenly stripped of her "Dragon" authority, was now facing a devastating spiral attack that her body simply could not withstand.
The flesh and blood formed from black mud, along with Medea's body, were completely shredded into dust by the destructive attack unleashed by Fujimaru Ritsuka with all her magical power.
Having done all this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's magical power was completely depleted, and she fell from the sky.
El-Melloi II sprinted at top speed and caught Fujimaru Ritsuka before she hit the ground.
After witnessing the end of everything and the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu focused all her attention on the "light of destruction".
Just now, the Maginot Line, composed of all the shields in the Royal Treasury, has been completely destroyed.
That beam of light had already reached the walls of Bai'er City.
"Since my senior has succeeded, I cannot lose!" Faced with the weakened "Light of Destruction," Mash was still unsure if she could defend against it.
Suddenly, a warm current flowed into her body. She turned her head and saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka was lying in El-Melloi II's arms, grinning foolishly at her.
It's a Command Seal!
The restored three Command Seals were completely absorbed into Mash Kyrielight's body.
Mash is Chaldea's strongest support, and Fujimaru Ritsuka is Mash's strongest support!
The City of Chalk once again shone brightly, and the details of the illusory city, forged by the materialized defenses, became even richer, with even the phantoms of people appearing above the city walls.
Buzz! ! ! ———
The moment the light of destruction touched the flawless wall, the entire world turned pure white, and all sound vanished.
The myth of Camelot's invincibility was shattered at this moment; the walls collapsed, and bricks materialized from magic fell from the sky.
But it doesn't matter, because the light has been blocked.
Mashu's body also fell downwards due to insufficient magic power.
She placed the shield beneath her as a shield to prevent injury from the fall.
At this moment, Chaldea's communications were finally re-established.
Their first words were not to offer words of comfort or inquire about the battle, but rather—
"Be careful!!"
Because at the spot where Tiamat died, an extremely powerful aura of magic emanated.
That was an opponent that everyone had faced before: the Black Grail.
At that moment, she grasped the spirit core within Medea's body and swallowed it whole.
"Very good, we're just one more to complete the Heaven's Cup."
She muttered to herself, and the magic beneath her body rapidly transformed into strange black ribbons, pointing directly at—
Ritsuka Fujimaru!
Instead of choosing Artoria as the Holy Grail's food, she directly targeted Chaldea's Master!
Both El-Melloi II and Mash had lost their ability to fight and had no time to withstand the attack.
But another extreme stream of light arrived from behind the Second Prince in an instant.
It shredded the sudden attack.
Immediately afterwards, Artoria rushed to the black goblet that had the same face as Irisviel. She already knew she would be facing such an enemy; this was information from Chaldea.
During the sprint, the Holy Sword began to break free of its restrictions! She had been preparing for this for a long time!
"Evil, acknowledged! Survival, acknowledged! Strength, acknowledged!... Heroes, acknowledged!"
The seven seals were instantly released, and the demonic power within his body surged from his demonized heart into the holy sword, still abundant.
Since the start of the battle, Artoria has been clearing out the grunts and has not used her Noble Phantasm.
This new enemy is very strong!
But it doesn't matter!
The blade of the holy sword had already reached her.
The light burst forth in an instant.
This is a sword strike capable of annihilating a Star Vanguard if the magic power is sufficient.
It is the gathering place of the power of the stars.
? !
Artoria was somewhat taken aback...
Because the opponent had no defense at all, instead, they released boundless magic power in a suicidal manner.
Artoria didn't care whether she would return to the Throne of Heroes at this moment; what bothered her was why the other party had chosen this method.
Because this is the only way to kill her, who possesses the scabbard of Avalon, and to strike her deadly when she draws her sword.
The sword sliced through the figure of the person with Irisviel's face, and the spikes formed from the black mud also pierced into Artoria's spirit core.
In an instant, Artoria's spirit origin transformed into spirit particles and merged into the corpse of the "Black Grail".
Then, the body that had been split in two floated up, its spiritual light shining brightly, and it transformed into the shape of the Holy Grail in the air.
Everyone was somewhat bewildered at this moment...
"Is this the end?" the fat director asked in the now-restored communication channel.
"Probably, since even the Holy Grail has appeared... Now that we can retrieve the Holy Grail, this singularity should be over..." Mash said softly.
Everyone was incredulous, even though they had just gone through a life-or-death battle.
Because the timing of the Holy Grail's appearance at this moment... is just too perfect...
While the mechanics of this Holy Grail War are understandable—the Holy Grail descends after the seven Heroic Spirits die...
This is what El-Melloi II told them.
"Mash, go and retrieve the Holy Grail..." After a long silence, the Second Lord finally spoke.
"Hmm," Mash jogged forward and turned on the switch to store the Holy Grail in the shield.
After confirming the authenticity of the Holy Grail, the process of storing it began.
At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the second prince were walking slowly on this land that had been reduced to ruins—they were looking for Emiya Kiritsugu, who had not appeared since.
As for why she didn't contact Solau, it's because she's probably in the airport waiting area right now; she booked her ticket before the battle.
After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at the lake behind the mountain, but did not find Kiritsugu Emiya.
All I saw was a white-haired woman squatting on the ground, covering her face and weeping.
That is...
El-Melloi II's eyes narrowed. So that's how it was...
But he didn't say anything more.
She simply pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka back to Mashu's side.
"Who is that person?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked uncertainly.
"Irisviel, Kiritsugu Emiya's wife..." The young king lit a cigar, completely ignoring Ritsuka Fujimaru beside him.
"Isn't she... the Lesser Grail...?"
"I don't know. After my examination just now, there are no magical fluctuations in her body anymore, which means she has lost her qualification as the Holy Grail... I guess that's why she's still alive." The Second took another puff of his cigarette and replied.
"That's pretty good..."
At this moment, Mash, having finally collected the Holy Grail, walked up to the two of them, yawning, and said:
"Senior, it's time to go back. I'm really tired this time..."
"Fufu! Fufufufu!"
"Indeed, you two just finished the Third Lostbelt and came here again. You really should come back and rest!"
The image of Little Da Vinci appears at this moment, saying that after the doctor left, she became the body manager of Ritsuka and Mashu.
At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at El-Melloi II and asked him:
"Mr. Weber, want to come along? If you don't come, you can't smoke anymore!"
"Spare me... I still want to travel around Fuyuki properly. Anyway, you already have a record of me, don't you?"
El-Melloi II shook his head and refused.
