The legend of Li Shuaixi

Along with the droplets, the black mud scattered and burst.The foreign object that could not be digested even after using all the resentment appeared from the black mud.

In the burning ruins, he stood on the ground again.

The body with the perfect golden ratio is no longer a spirit body in the servnt period, but a real physical body.The black mud, which denies all life, turns the impurities mixed in the body into crystals and discards them. As a result, a heroic spirit realizes his wish to obtain a physical body and return to the world.

Even standing in the middle of the scorching hell, the majesty exuded from the king made the surrounding flames dare not get close.Gilgamesh sneered impatiently while baring his statue-like body generously.

——To actually use such a thing as a wish machine to fight to the death.This sideshow is really disappointing.

But that's not bad - the King of Heroes was very satisfied after touching the new ** that he had obtained by accident.

Will the will of God allow me to once again rule the world in this era... Hmph, the previous test is enough to talk about.But it’s okay, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, let’s accept the reality.

Although it feels very troublesome, since this is a challenge issued by the gods, there is no reason not to meet it.Gilgamesh smiled wryly at himself as the King of Heroes. [

Passing through the deep darkness, Kotomine Kirei regained consciousness.

The first sensation was heat, followed by the smell of burning human fat.Open your eyes and look around, the raging flames in front of you seem to be scorching the sky.

here is……

He originally thought that after touching the soil again, he entered the mental world of the Holy Grail.But when he saw the naked man beside him, he immediately denied this possibility.

Gilgamesh... what happened?

You are such a troublesome man.It took me quite a while to dig you out from under the rubble.

Kirei tried his best to use his dazed brain to think, trying to grasp the whole incident.The last memory is the large prop warehouse of the Citizens' Hall, kneeling on the ground, being shot from behind by Kiritsugu. —No matter how you think about it, you should be killed immediately.

He tore open the vestment on his chest to examine where it should have been pierced.Suddenly, the image of black mud appeared in front of his eyes.

...?

It's an illusion.There is no scar on the chest.Try pressing your hand over your heart.

... have you healed me?Gilgamesh.

this.You do appear to be dead, but you are bound by a bond with me.I got the body because of that mud, maybe you came back to life for some reason.

In the end, the black mud that could not completely corrode Gilgamesh arrived at Kotomine Kirei's body along the magic power supply line that once connected Rher to his master, and became a source of life force that could replace the heart.Therefore, Kirei will be resurrected.

In other words, right now Kirei is surviving on the magic power provided by all the evil in the world.

All servnts have been wiped out, only me is left.Do you understand what that means?Kirei. [

……

Kirei, who hadn't fully recovered his mind, stared at Gilgamesh's red eyes.

We are the ones who get the Holy Grail, so all you have to do is keep your eyes open.If the Holy Grail can really fulfill the wish of the victor, then the sight in front of you—Kotomine Kirei is exactly what you long for.

Crimson Hell.The screams that came into the ears with the wind.Tongues of dancing flames.Kirei stared blankly at the scene.

This is... my, wish?

Exactly.If something that fills the emptiness in your heart right now can be called contentment.

Dashing and sighing... am I happy?

Exactly.If the feeling that surges in my heart at this moment can be called joy.

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei finally understood the true nature of his own soul.

The beauty of everything falling apart.

People in pain are so cute.

The screams in my ears were so loud and heart-warming.The charred remains are so ridiculous.

……Ha ha.

Unable to restrain his emotions that had reached the boiling point, Kirei laughed in despair.

What a crime.What a cruel devil himself.

This kind of world spurned by the gods is actually full of bright joy.

what am iHahaha, what am I! ?

Even the heart-wrenching sense of despair is so sweet.Kirei's body trembled from wild laughter.The touch from his fingertips to the top of his head was exceptionally clear and distinct.

Ah, I'm alive now—

I am real, right here—

It was the first time I realized, the first time I truly experienced the bond between myself and the world.

"Why is it so distorted? Why is it so filthy? Am I really a descendant of Kotomine Risei? Hahahaha, it's impossible! It's impossible! What is this!? Could it be that my father gave birth to a dog!?"

Kirei found the truth from a place completely opposite to his own belief.The result of this irony turned out to be very happy.

How many detours have I made.Are they all dreaming?

Praise the preciousness of kindness and sing the praises of divine beauty.It is precisely because of this kind of truth that Kirei has wasted more than twenty years of his life.He didn't realize at all that his own nature completely ran counter to such truth.

— Are you satisfied?Kirei.

The priest laughed till he was exhausted and short of breath but still clutching his stomach, Gilgamesh asked in a calm tone.

No, not enough, that's not enough.

Kirei wiped away the tears that flowed from the wild laughter, shook his head and said.

Indeed - I finally got an answer in a life full of question marks.That's a lot of progress.However, this doesn't solve anything.I just skipped the process and method of answering the question and got the answer directly.Just like this, how can you let me admit it, and what else can I admit?

If God is the Creator of all things, then happiness is truth for all souls.

But now, a soul that violates morality and gets happiness actually exists.Kirei had just believed that this soul was none other than himself.

In this way there is a contradiction between the definition of good and evil, and the location of truth.This contradiction cannot be ignored.

"There should be an obvious reason for the equation that led to this weird answer. No, there must be. What is it... I must ask, I must find it. If it takes my whole life, I will go to understand."

After laughing wildly enough, the smile remained on the miserable face like the residue of the previous laugh.Maybe he will keep this expression in the future.Only accept the reality of oneself and the world, and be able to calmly face everything with a calm smile.Facing Kotomine Kirei's refreshing look, Gilgamesh nodded.

"You guys are really tired of it... Well, I, Gilgamesh, will just watch how you carry out your belief in seeking the Tao."

Kirei looked around again, savoring the stunning scenery brought to him by the Holy Grail.

The amount of black soil that set the entire block on fire should not be enough to compare with the amount left in the Great Holy Grail.When all the soil is released, what kind of hell map will be displayed in front of our eyes.

That's right - its existence is as unethical as Kirei's.Thinking about it now, when he saw that illusion, Kirei had expectations in his heart.If such a thing is really born, and its existence is proved, it may lead to other explanations related to ethics.

"Everything in the world, evil—

Thinking a little impatiently, Kirei spat out the name.

It must be found again, and it must be witnessed again, its birth, and its existence value.

——Suddenly, Kirei noticed a figure appearing from the other side of the dancing flames.

The windbreaker on his body, which was fanned by the heat, was torn in several places.It was covered with black smudges.The man walked unsteadily like a somnambulist, wandering the burning streets.

He is Emiya Kiritsugu.Although it is not clear what happened, but as it stands now, he lost his sber and survived the fire.

What didn't match the utterly domineering footsteps was his terrifying aura when he looked around, like a howling undead wandering in the scorching hell.It was obvious that he was looking for something, and he was not afraid of dying in a sea of ​​fire to find that thing.

Did he find out that he failed to kill Kirei, so he came after him——

While thinking this way, the eyes of the two intertwined.Kirei accepted his empty gaze without flinching.

Then let's fight--

Although the injuries to his right hand and left leg were still the same, at this moment Kirei didn't think he would lose.He once again recalled the unwillingness to win the battle before.He won't give up until he retaliates.

But things didn't develop as Kirei expected.As if in Kiritsugu's eyes, Kirei seemed to be transparent, he looked away nonchalantly, continued to look around, and left aimlessly.

……

Filled with fighting spirit, he was poured with cold water, and when he regained his senses, Kirei realized that there was an indescribable depression in his heart.

"Huh? What's wrong Kirei."

It seems that Gilgamesh didn't notice Kiritsugu's figure at all.Kirei shook his head silently, which was his answer to the King of Heroes.

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was obviously very strange, his once sharp gaze disappeared, and his eyes just now were as dull as empty caves.He must have been so absent-minded that he couldn't even make out what was right in front of him.So, maybe he didn't notice Kirei's eyes on him at all.

That man has become a walking dead, it is not worth treating him as an enemy anymore.Kiritsugu who caused disaster in order to save others is the real loser.He must be looking for survivors who can give him some comfort.It's downright stupid.Based on his current state, he will soon disappear into this sea of ​​flames.Don't think about it anymore, this person has no meaning to me.
