The shuttle in the second dimension

　As for Saber, due to the forced command of the double Command Spells, all the magic power in her body was drained, and she could not even maintain the physical form of a Servant. In the end, she could only slowly disappear in endless resentment and anger.

　"Emiya Kiritsugu—this is the first time we meet, right? Of course, I know this isn't the first time you've seen me. After all, you've been hiding in the shadows like a rat, observing me several times—when I was shopping with someone."

　Taking slow steps, Lin Xuan walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

　But Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have heard nothing. He looked at the floating Holy Grail and fell towards the wall behind him in despair. He fell on the wall, then slid down the wall and sat down on the ground helplessly.

　"Have you given up? - Indeed, after all, you don't have the ability to resist me -" Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu who was slumped on the ground, full of despair, Lin Xuan smiled.

　After saying that, a scarlet ripple began to appear behind Lin Xuan, and a scarlet treasure was projected out from the ripple.

　"Then goodbye... No, goodbye forever—Emiya Kiritsugu"

　"Puff——" The sound of flesh being pierced suddenly rang out.

　"Wow--" A mouthful of scarlet blood overflowed from Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth, staining his clothes. His eyes, filled with despair, began to slowly lose their color and became lifeless.

　Not long after, Emiya Kiritsugu lost his life force and died.

　Without looking at the death of Emiya Kiritsugu, after taking back the Noble Phantasm, Lin Xuan turned his attention to the floating Holy Grail.

　"A universal wishing machine?" Lin Xuan murmured calmly while looking at the Holy Grail. At the same time, a scarlet ripple appeared beside Lin Xuan's right hand. The next moment, a scarlet sword emerged from the ripple.

　"It's a pity that it has no effect on me--" As he said that, Lin Xuan grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out from the scarlet ripples.

　The hilt of the sword was made of gold, and the hilt was inlaid with gems. If Saber were present, she would have noticed that the scarlet-red sword Lin Xuan took out was her Noble Phantasm—[Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur)];

　With both hands tightly grasping the [Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur)], a scarlet golden light began to bloom on the blade, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire music hall, completely expelling the darkness in the hall. Lin Xuan took a step forward, holding high the golden sword in his hand that was shining with dazzling light.

　"ex——"

　"——calibur——!!!" The moment Lin Xuan released his true name, endless light bloomed from the sword. Compared with the light released by Saber, Lin Xuan's light was stronger and more powerful. At the same time, there was a hint of scarlet color flowing in the light released by Lin Xuan. The whole light did not feel as holy as the light released by Saber, but was a little weird in holiness.

　The torrent of scarlet light transformed into a dazzling beam of light, forming a violent light of destruction, rushing towards the "hole" above the Holy Grail - the black sun that symbolizes the end of the world.

　boom--

　The dark sun gradually melted away in the destructive light woven by the torrent of light, until it completely disappeared without a trace.

　Along with the dark sun, the holy grail that was originally suspended in the flames and shining with holy light also disappeared.

　"Is it over - the Fourth Holy Grail War -" After putting the [Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur)] in his hand back into the [Arsenal of the Lord of War], Lin Xuan looked at the starry sky of Fuyuki City at night through the broken ceiling.

　"Time is running out, I will be leaving soon--" In the dilapidated music hall, the young man murmured silently.

Chapter 43: Untitled

　"Crack - Bang -" The already broken wall collapsed completely.

　Looking at the dilapidated music hall in front of him, Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Compared to that result, this result is much better - at least, not so many people died."

　"But—this music hall is completely ruined—"

　As Lin Xuan looked, he could see that the classical music hall had been hit by [Excalibur] twice. Even though it had only suffered the aftermath, the violent impact had still caused it to suffer great damage. Hideous cracks began to spread all over the music hall, and pieces of rubble began to fall from the ceiling. Judging from the situation, the entire music hall would probably collapse in no time.

　"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway - let's go." As he said that, Lin Xuan turned into a gust of wind and swept away into the distance.

　The strong wind that Lin Xuan transformed into was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The airflow disturbed by the strong wind caused the music hall, which was about to collapse, to collapse completely and turn into ruins.

　Lin Xuan, who caused all this, was completely unaware of it.

　……

　Matou House

　Landing gently on the ground, Lin Xuan glanced around, but when he saw that the light in Xiaoying's house was still on, he raised his eyebrows and walked towards her room suspiciously.

　Lin Xuan opened the door gently and saw Xiaoying lying quietly on the table. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her moist cherry lips were slightly pouting, and her rosy little face was like a lotus bud about to bloom. Her purple hair fell on her face, making her even more cute.

　"Really - this girl isn't even afraid of catching a cold." Looking at Xiaoying, Lin Xuan's eyes were full of doting. He gently walked to the side of the sleeping Xiaoying. Lin Xuan bent down and slowly picked up the little girl who had fallen asleep, fearing that any big movement would wake Xiaoying up.

　However, things were not as Lin Xuan expected. When he picked up Xiaoying, Xiaoying suddenly trembled, and then slowly opened her amethyst-like eyes. Perhaps because she had just woken up, there was still a layer of vague sleepiness in Xiaoying's eyes.

　"Big brother, you're back--" Xiaoying, who was not yet fully awake, looked at Lin Xuan in front of her and said softly.

　"kindness--"

　Gently stroking Sakura's hair, Lin Xuan responded gently.

　宀?

　"Sleep peacefully—" Lin Xuan said softly as he gently placed Xiaoying on the bed and covered her with a blanket. @

　"Hmm——"~x? Sakura responded softly with her sleepy eyes open, and lay in the quilt. After a while, the little girl fell asleep again.

　"What a lovely little girl--" Looking at Xiaoying's peaceful sleeping face, Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

　As he said that, Lin Xuan slowly left Xiaoying's room.

　As soon as he went out, Lin Xuan saw Yan Ye standing in the shadows and couldn't help but teasingly said

　"It's so late and you're still not asleep, and you're standing in the shadows in the middle of the night, what do you want to do? But tell me you're thinking about life -"

　Twitching his eyes, Kariya whispered, "I just wanted to ask how long it would take to pick up Aoi and Rin—"

　"Tomorrow, what's the matter? Are you thinking that your goddess Kui will not accept it, and you can't control the desire in your heart?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.

　"You'll be teased by me tomorrow, right—" Having said this, Kariya paused, then widened his eyes. Just as he was about to exclaim, a whirlwind poured directly into his mouth, leaving him speechless.

　"Do you want Sakura to be woken up by you, bastard—" Lin Xuan said, glaring at Yan Ye unhappily.

　"I'm sorry—I was too excited just now—but didn't you say that you would wait until the Holy Grail War was over before bringing Aoi and Rin over? Does that mean—" At this point, Kariya stared at Lin Xuan with wide eyes, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

　Ignoring Kariya's eyes that looked as if they were about to pop out of his head, Lin Xuan said, "Well, the Holy Grail War is over. It just happened a while ago—"

　Sitting down casually, Lin Xuan looked up at the brilliant starry sky and continued, "But, no one has obtained the Holy Grail——"

　"The Holy Grail..." Yan Ye asked suspiciously after hearing Lin Xuan's words.

　"I ruined it--" Lin Xuan answered straightforwardly.

　"Oh - it's ruined by you - by you - wow -" Kariya, who was about to scream again, was once again filled with a mouthful of wind.

　"You want me to sew your mouth shut, right - bastard." Lin Xuan twitched his eyes and said unhappily to this bastard who refused to change.

　"Sorry, sorry—" Shaking his head, Kariya said apologetically

　"But what about the Holy Grail you mentioned being destroyed by you?" After the feeling of Barry's mouth (hx) eased a little, Yan Ye couldn't wait to ask.

　"The Holy Grail has been contaminated—" Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "The Holy Grail now will make all wishes come true in a malicious direction. For example, if you want to become the strongest human, then it will kill all those who are stronger than you. If you want to become the tallest person, then it will correspondingly kill all those who are taller than you—"

　"How could it be—" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Yan Ye's eyes couldn't help but shrink.

　"This is the fact. Whether you believe it or not, the Holy Grail has become like this." Lin Xuan said helplessly with a shrug.

　"Okay, that's the truth. Have a good rest. You still have to pick up your goddess Aoi and Rin tomorrow. So sort yourself out, Yanye." Lin Xuan smiled and patted Yanye's shoulder. He stood up and slowly left.

　The next chapter will almost end the Fourth Holy Grail War, and then the Fifth Holy Grail War will begin.

Chapter 44: Conversation with Tousaka Aoi

　The next day

　After knocking on the unfamiliar door in front of him, Lin Xuan stood quietly by and waited.

　This place is no longer within the scope of Fuyuki City. This is where Tohsaka Tokiomi sent his wife and daughter for refuge before participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War. After all, the Holy Grail War is full of unknowns, so he had to be cautious.

　After the Fourth Holy Grail War, Lin Xuan came here. His purpose was very clear, which was to bring Aoi Toosaka and her daughter Rin Toosaka to the Matou residence.

　After a while, there was a sound coming from inside the house. Relying on his perception of the surrounding air flow, Lin Xuan clearly felt that there was a mature woman standing behind the door. He thought that she was one of his targets this time - Aoi Tohsaka.

　"Madam - open the door. You have seen me, and you should know that if I came here with bad intentions, then this thin door would not be able to stop me at all -" He said with a smile to the woman who was lying behind the door and observing him. After that, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry. He stood quietly outside the door waiting for the decision of the woman behind the door.

　After a while, the door was slowly opened, and a mature woman appeared from the gap in the door.

　Seeing Toosaka Aoi again, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh at the classical temperament she exuded. Her long, delicate green hair was gently draped over her shoulders, making her look a little soft. Her white skin was like a freshly peeled egg. Perhaps because of Lin Xuan's arrival, there was a hint of uneasiness in her clear and bright eyes, and her slightly wrinkled eyebrows added a touch of unique charm to her.

　In general, she is a rare classical beauty.

　"Please come in—" After opening the door, Tohsaka Aoi made way.

　After stepping into the house, Lin Xuan took a quick look at the interior layout. It was simple and elegant, and looked pretty good.

　"Rin hasn't woken up yet—"

　"Yes, it's so early, I want her to sleep a little longer." When talking about her daughter, a hint of tenderness flashed in Toosaka Aoi's eyes.

　"Is it--"

　Sitting down, Lin Xuan continued.

　"I'm sorry to bother you so early, but I really don't have much time, so I have to hurry up-"

　"But this matter—concerns Sakura's future, so I hope you can agree."

　Looking at Toosaka Aoi sitting opposite him, Lin Xuan's expression became a little serious, no longer as playful and casual as usual.

　"What is it--" Toosaka Aoi asked softly as she handed the brewed tea to Lin Xuan.

　"It's about Sakura--" When he said this, Lin Xuan could clearly catch that Toosaka Aoi paused when Lin Xuan mentioned Sakura. Although he concealed it well, he could not deceive Lin Xuan.

　"What happened to Sakura?" Although she remained calm, Tousaka Aoi's voice was already a little panicked.

　Lin Xuan did not answer her question immediately, but slowly drank a sip of hot tea before continuing, "Xiaoying is doing well now--"

　At this point, Lin Xuan could clearly see that Tosaka Aoi was relieved. Looking at her like this, Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly and continued, "But in the future, Sakura will always need someone who can take care of her, Madam..."

　After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Toosaka Aoi obviously froze for a moment, and was a little at a loss.

　"Speaking of this, Madam, you have guessed the reason why I came here, right?" Shaking the teacup in his hand, Lin Xuan looked at the somewhat bewildered look of Aoi Tohsaka, shook his head and continued, "I think you are afraid that Tohsaka Tokiomi will not agree with you taking care of Sakura..."

　Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Toosaka Aoi's body trembled noticeably, as if Lin Xuan had spoken her true feelings.

　"Although what I'm about to tell you may be a little sad for you and your daughter Rin, I still have to say it—"

　Looking at Tosaka Aoi, Lin Xuan slowly revealed.

　"The Holy Grail War is over. The Archer, Assassin, Saber, and Caster camps, the Masters and Servants of these four camps all perished in this Holy Grail War. And Madam, you also understand which camp your husband, Tōsaka Tokiomi, belongs to, right? Of course, don't think I'm deceiving you. It wouldn't do me any good to deceive you."
