Or, why don’t you find another savior?

She used the ice surface created by Shiomi as the foundation, shattered it, and turned it into countless ice blades that stabbed towards Shiomi.

However, this wave of attacks was broken up by Artoria and Iskandar from both sides, and then the two swords slashed towards Justisa's body, cutting off her arm and shoulder.

As if she felt no pain, Justisa retreated backwards, the ice surface shattered, and many pale arms emerged from the hole, grabbing towards Iskandar and Altria, forcing the two servants to roll on the ice and hide out of the attack range.

Justisa, whose arm was regenerating for the second time, raised her head and looked upward. Morgan's magic was already ready and was heading straight for the target.

The violent explosion created a ten-meter-high wave in the lake, and the base of the Holy Grail, which looked like a mass of rotten flesh, was destroyed by nearly half.

Under the cover of fog, Shiomi, who felt a little more relaxed, suddenly noticed something.

There is no Kotomine Kirei here? Is his body gone?

Unfortunately, the current situation did not allow Shiomi to ask Morgan or the Emiya couple who were present earlier. In the gradually dissipating explosion smoke, Justisa was slowly rising to the vicinity of the "hole" that opened in the sky.

"Offerings, keep struggling so that I can eat you all more deliciously."

As she spoke, the golden cup appeared and disappeared from her body.

The magic power of the hole rapidly expanded.

"That is... a treasure?" Altria asked in shock.

Shiomi is already preparing a big magic trick.

"It's probably an offensive method similar to a Noble Phantasm. Coupled with its overwhelming advantage over Servants, I'm afraid that if it comes into contact with them, it will be the end of us."

"Don't be in a daze, Altria, and get ready to use your treasure." Morgan also came to them.

The second Command Spell that Shiomi gave her disappeared instantly, and a huge amount of magical power began to gather.

"Saber, the magic power of the Command Seals! I entrust it to you!" Upon seeing this, Irisviel immediately used the Command Seals to replenish the magic power that Altria needed to activate her Noble Phantasm.

"understand!"

The Knight King and the Witch, their magic power instantly expanded.

Iskandar, who did not have similar means of attack, also raised his sword high and summoned lightning to help.

The collision of killer weapons is imminent.

"Song of Grail!"

Following Justisa's declaration, the Servants also released the true names of their Noble Phantasms.

“Excalibur!”

“Roadless Camlot!”

The dark magic of the Holy Grail collides with the brilliance of the Heroic Spirit.

"Life Wall!"

However, those curses could not erode the brilliance of the servants. Shiomi used her magic to block all of them.

"hateful!"

Just before being swallowed by the light, Justisa roared in reluctance.

Chapter 87 The Final Work

"This is... the underground cave where the Greater Holy Grail is."

In more than two years in Fuyuki, this was the first time that Shiomi actually arrived at the location of the Greater Holy Grail.

In addition to Morgan, he was accompanied by the allies with whom he had just fought.

The boundless sky and the desolate earth almost make people forget that this is a huge underground cavity.

According to estimates, the diameter of this area is about three kilometers. At the end of the road the group was walking on was a rock wall. On top of the rock was the altar of the Holy Grail.

The Black Holy Grail was destroyed, and the mountain of meat on the lake behind Ryudo Temple was also eliminated.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was regarded as the core, was fished out of the lake by Emiya Kiritsugu. Although he lost one hand, he was still alive.

But what surprised Shiomi even more was that Emiya Kiritsugu, who looked bloodless and tearless, would take the initiative to save people.

Whether her prediction was wrong or this man had changed, Xi Jian didn't know.

But when they got to within a kilometer, everyone felt the barrier blocking their way forward.

It is both a blockage and a safety measure.

In the closed Holy Grail altar lies an endless supply of magical power that any magician can use at will.

Without the Holy Grail as a medium, it would be extremely dangerous to rashly come into contact with such a huge magical power.

"That's enough for here." Morgan stopped first.

The distorted thing that appeared in the lake was only the external terminal of the Holy Grail. Even if it was destroyed along with the "hole", it would not harm the foundation. At most, it would just make the opened door close again.

She turned and looked at Altria and Iskandar, and their respective Masters.

"Once the purification ritual begins, the Holy Grail will no longer have enough magic power to activate it, and the Servants will begin to retreat." Morgan asked quietly, "One last time, do you accept the end of the Holy Grail War?"

It seemed like a superfluous question, but Morgan still confirmed it again.

She was well aware of the charm of the wish-granting machine for magicians and heroic spirits.

However, after witnessing the truth about the Holy Grail with their own eyes, both the Master and the Servant could no longer accept the contaminated Holy Grail.

So everyone's reaction was surprisingly consistent.

"Well then, let's begin the ritual to purify the Greater Holy Grail."

Morgan raised the magic spear that served as a staff, and gently thrust it into the air in front of her. It seemed as if a switch had been touched, and a huge magic circuit appeared on the ground.

If you fly up to the sky and take a look now, you will find that the appearance of the Magic Circuit is exactly the same as that of Justisa from before.

It was precisely because Justisa, whose entire body was covered in Magic Circuits, transformed her flesh and blood into the cornerstone of the Greater Holy Grail that a major element of the Holy Grail War was met.

The Greater Holy Grail was contaminated because out-of-specification servants entered the Holy Grail during the Third Holy Grail War and contaminated the magic power there.

Generally speaking, purification is no longer a realistic approach and the only option is to disintegrate it.

But Morgan, who had analyzed the Fuyuki Holy Grail War system in a short time, knew what to do. The price he paid was only to consume a part of the magic power that could only be fully stored in sixty years.

This will result in removing "all the evil in this world" that is dormant in the Greater Holy Grail.

The purification ceremony of the Holy Grail gradually began, and everyone realized that the time of farewell was approaching. The Masters and their respective Servants walked away, saying goodbye.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave?" Morgan asked.

After the Holy Grail purification ceremony is initiated, she will no longer be required to maintain it, unless Artoria or Iskandar suddenly change their minds and come to obstruct it.

That's why she had the leisure to ask Shiomi.

"No... I just feel like a lot has happened in the past few days." Xi Jian gave a bitter smile, "It's really hard to pursue the omnipotent wish-granting machine."

"Because the magicians created the Holy Grail not to free themselves from all suffering, but to overcome all suffering." Morgan shook his head, "Whether it is to reach the root, or to achieve a wish so grand that it exceeds what the entire planet can bear..."

It is this strong desire to change the world that has created the world we have today.

But it was precisely this desire that led to this outcome of the Holy Grail War.

"The servants are starting to retreat."

Morgan's voice brought Shiomi back to reality from her thoughts.

Altria and Iskandar were waving goodbye to the two in their own way.

Although Irisviel looked a little reluctant, she was smiling after all. On the contrary, Waver was crying so hard that the King of Conquerors had to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him.

After seeing off the two servants, Irisviel and Waver left the Great Hole first, leaving Morgan and Shiomi to say goodbye while waiting for the purification ritual to be completed.

"The purification ceremony is almost over." Morgan's words were very tactful.

Shiomi looked at the witch standing beside him, and a strong sense of reluctance arose in his heart.

"Although the Holy Grail War failed to achieve any goals for others, your wishes have all come true." Shiomi tried to smile and congratulated Morgan.

"I guess so." Morgan smiled noncommittally.

The ceremony was about to come to an end. The words in his heart lingered on his lips for a long time, and finally came out when the fading light began to shine on Morgan's body.

"If...if I ask you to stay and make another contract with me, will you accept?" Shiomi held the hand that could still be held.

Morgan was slightly surprised, but there was still some joy in his eyes, "Without the ritual of the Holy Grail War, it would be very difficult to provide the magic power to maintain a Servant. Even for you."

"Even so, I hope you can stay." Xi Jian lowered his eyes, "I still don't know you at all."

It was unexpected, yet reasonable and consistent with Morgan's understanding of this man.

"Then there is no other way. Since my husband has made such a plea, how can I not listen attentively?" Morgan turned her wrist and held the hand that Xi Jian extended. "Although you don't want me to stay just for yourself, for now, just pretend that you didn't notice and turn a blind eye."

"I'm not that..." Shiomi felt misunderstood and wanted to explain.

Morgan stopped him with his eyes, "Instead of wasting your time on arguing, let's quickly re-contract."

"Yes, then I..."

He was about to recite the spell of the contract when his lips were sealed.

The icy and soft taste fills the tip of your nose.

end

Three months later.

Compared to the cold winter when the Fourth Holy Grail War was held, the spring in Fuyuki is particularly comfortable and very suitable for going out for fun and relaxation.

"So... until now, Kotomine Kirei's body is still missing?"

In the cafe, Irisviel von Einzbern was drinking coffee and asking Shiomi Tenkei who was sitting opposite her.

Also at the table was Webber Velvet.

"Yes. No matter whether it is the Holy Church or the Magic Association, the people they sent out have found Kirei's body." Shiomi nodded slightly, "According to what you said, Kirei was indeed pierced through the heart by the Black Holy Grail and fell into the lake."

Waver then proposed a hypothesis, "Could it have been swallowed by the Greater Holy Grail? After all, that thing looks like it could swallow anything?"

"I don't rule out this hypothesis, but it makes me feel uneasy." Shiomi took a sip of coffee. "I tried using Kirei's related items to perform tracking magic. The conclusion I came to was that he was dead."

Irisviel sighed, "In that case..."

She wanted to comfort Xi Jian, but in the end she couldn't find the right words to say.

Kotomine Kirei, who once made Kiritsugu extremely vigilant, was killed so simply and inconspicuously by the Holy Grail that he himself awakened. This is indeed not a reassuring ending.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Shiomi turned her head and looked towards the side of the cafe.

Emiya Kiritsugu was selecting things in front of the window with a little silver-haired girl.

Illyasviel von Einzbern.

Half a month after the end of the Holy Grail War, Irisviel came to him in person and asked him to assist her husband in going to Germany and bringing their daughter back from the Einzbern family.

In fact, it would not be difficult for Emiya Kiritsugu to take his daughter away with him, but to be on the safe side, they still spent a lot of money and asked Shiomi Tenki for help.

"Who is that boy?" asked Xijian.

Next to Kiritsugu, there was a little boy with red hair.

"That child, his name is Shirou." Irisviel introduced, "His parents died in a car accident last month, and there were no other relatives to adopt him. Because he happened to get along well with Kiritsugu, they adopted him and made him inherit the Emiya surname."

Xi understood and stopped asking questions.

After all, I have adopted two children, so there is no reason for me to be curious about other people's family affairs.

We came out for coffee today to exchange some information about the aftermath of the Holy Grail War.

As the last Master to reach the end of this special Holy Grail War, he is inevitably concerned about many subsequent developments.

"I heard that the girl from the Toosaka family has recently started to go to school with you?" Irisviel asked.

"It's just a temporary remedial measure." Xijian shook his head.

Tōsaka Tokiomi did manage to survive.

However, as he was forced to be used as the activation core of the Holy Grail, his magic circuits were severely damaged. Although he could still perform magic, he could no longer be considered a magician, but only a magician.

Tokiomi, whose talent is not as good as his daughter Tousaka Rin's, is now completely unable to guide Rin in specific magic.

After much deliberation, he decided to entrust Shiomi as a tutor to teach Rin some general knowledge of magic, with classes to be held about once a month.
