Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

The raging fire surged and undulated, distorting space and emitting a blazing light, causing a madly surging halo of countless colors to appear in the sky.

Like the aurora, it is deep, solemn, magnificent and beautiful.

In the long wait that could have lasted a moment, or perhaps a lifetime, within the halo, billions of shrill screams, indistinguishable by species, gender, or age, blended into a bright white wall of death...

Immediately, the dark paradise without sunlight slowly shattered.

Ok?

After returning to the real world, Noah never expected that someone would say that he had been swallowed by the evil of this world.

Oh my god, do you despise me so much?

Even without a disaster like the destruction of the world, you still want to kill me?

What a joke!

However, after hearing the voice that seemed solemn but also made Noah feel a little disgusted, he understood who was the person who spread the rumor.

Hey!

Scathach!

Don’t sleep!

Come out to work!

The people outside the big cave also felt the violent fluctuations of magic power generated by the blazing burning of the evil of this world. They were suddenly shocked and stopped what they were doing to look up at the sky.

I saw bright red flames flowing upstream along the black mud and pouring into the dark red hole in the sky.

Then, a storm swept across the area, strong and deep, and a blood-red flame shone in all directions, illuminating Fuyuki City like a sun.

The flame was obviously so strong and so huge. Logically speaking, even if it was suspended thousands of meters in the air, it should have radiated high temperatures of thousands of degrees downwards and burned everything to ashes.

However, what was strange was that the bright red fire shone so brightly that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes, but it seemed to have no temperature at all.

Not only that, as the evil of this world was flowing down with extreme heat, a large area of trees on Yuanzang Mountain were already ignited, causing a raging fire.

But when the bright red flames fell into the valley along with the evil of this world and burned the black mud to ashes, the flames quickly went out.

Only the smell of charcoal on the ground and gunpowder in the air was still lingering, and even the strong wind did not dissipate it.

That flame didn't seem hot at all—this was just Kotomine Kirei's own feeling.

Artoria was under the protection of Avalon and didn't feel anything unusual.

Only Gilgamesh, hanging high in the sky and facing the bright red light in person, felt the magic power in his body running wildly, even his spirit core and soul were beating violently.

This is caused by a fear that comes from the most instinctive fear deep in life.

Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! You can't let that flame touch you!

Even if he is contaminated by the evil of this world, Gilgamesh is sure to maintain his self.

But he believed that if he came into contact with that flame, his soul would definitely be purified!

However, although he wanted to drive Monavi to the end of the horizon, Gilgamesh could only follow the instructions of the Command Spell.

Because this command was somewhat complicated, Kotomine Kirei directly used two Command Spells to ensure safety!

Damn Kotomine Kirei!

Mislead me!

Kotomine Kirei did not care about the grief and indignation in the King of Heroes' heart, because he had already seen Noah.

After all, the other party was standing in the raging fire, with his whole body shining. Kotomine Kirei would have to be blind not to see it!

His heartbeat quickened, and without a word, he activated the Command Seal at a speed he had never experienced in his life.

"Use the Command Seal, Acher! Attack Berseker!!"

After saying this, Kotomine Kirei breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately turned around and ran without hesitation.

He breathed a sigh of relief, not because he knew he was safe, but because he knew he could gain a chance to escape by sacrificing Gilgamesh.

In the past, Kotomine Kirei was not afraid of death.

Oh, I’m not afraid of death now.

But now that he understands the ultimate pleasure he is pursuing - destroying the world, how can he be willing to give up halfway?

Even if I have to die, I should sacrifice my life for the great cause of destroying the world!

Gilgamesh, looking ashen but with a hint of relief, attacked Noah.

Forget it, I'm tired, let's destroy it.

As expected by Gilgamesh, when the rain of treasures fell beside Noah, blazing flames immediately swept up along the traces of magic power remaining in the air and submerged him.

From now on, I will never come to the Holy Grail War again!

129 The Origin of 'In and Out'

"Are you kidding me?"

Watching Gilgamesh being silently burned to ashes by the bright red flames, Artoria couldn't help but feel a bone-chilling chill running from her tailbone to the top of her head.

Who is that?

Gold glitter!

The embodiment of the street lamp, the epitome of joy, the world's oldest clown... Oh no.

In short, she could understand Gilgamesh's death in various ways after the shocking battle with Noah.

But don't take it so easy, okay?

So scary!

After hesitating for a while, Artoria looked at the crimson fire that had spread to her side, but still did not remove Avalon's protection.

She looked at Noah and found that he was walking left and right on the flat ground outside the big cave, looking into the distance from time to time.

"Noah, this, this flame, is it your Noble Phantasm?"

"Yes."

Noah stopped when he finally found an angle with a suitable view.

"Then why didn't you use it before?"

"This thing has huge limitations. If it's not fueled by the evils of this world, it'll be like setting off fireworks. I can't even light a stick of firewood. I've never used it before."

Oh, so it's a special attack type Noble Phantasm.

Altria breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, then looked at Noah with some confusion as he raised a thumb and closed one eye.

"Um, what are you doing?"

"Aim, otherwise how can it be a like?"

"aim?"

After finding the right position, Noah nodded with satisfaction.

"It's decided to be you, Scathach! Go ahead!"

Scathach?

The name made Altria's eyes widen in surprise.

lancer?

Didn’t she die in the battle within the inherent barrier?

As if deliberately breaking Altria's cognition, there was no one beside Noah, but a beautiful voice that was like a low hum and could soften one's bones could be heard.

"Actually, my magic spear doesn't require any angle to aim at..."

Before Altria could come to her senses, a blood-red magic spear appeared out of thin air, shining with an extremely ferocious and ominous light.

The light made Artoria's heart ache, and she almost wanted to restart Avalon.

However, the magic spear did not pierce Artoria, but instead absorbed a large amount of magic power as if gathering strength, and then pierced through the void.

However, the strong wind caused by the magic spear piercing through the sky blew a few pieces of dry grass into her face.

I always feel that there is an inexplicable malice——

How fast can humans run with enhanced bodies?

In the past, even when Kotomine Kirei was acting as an agent, he often needed to escape or attack, but he never cared about this problem.

But he knows now!

This speed is already at its limit even for Kotomine Kirei, who has undergone training as an agent and possesses a body that is considered to be the strongest among humans.

His lungs were beating like a broken bellows on fire, and with every breath he felt the smell of blood spreading in his throat. His vision was already pitch black.

Not only did his limbs ache, he couldn't even feel their existence. He moved his legs purely on instinct.

No, I can’t run anymore.

Run again, it will be like this.

In fact, Kotomine Kirei originally just wanted to run to a farther place to watch the battle and see if Gilgamesh could defeat the opponent.

After all, there are some beautiful things in this world that he is reluctant to give up.

As a result, before Kotomine Kirei even reached the designated location, he sensed through the contract that Gilgamesh was already dead, with not even a trace of him left.

This is so weird. This servant wasn’t this powerful the last time I saw him.

In desperation, Kotomine Kirei had no choice but to continue running, running hard, running as hard as he could, running to the limit of his physical body under the enhanced magic.

By then, even if Berseker didn't chase him, Kotomine Kirei would have run himself to death.

With his confused thoughts, Kotomine Kirei could only slowly stop.

After his pitch-black vision returned to normal a little and the sense of touch in his limbs was forcibly restored by the healing magic, he subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of Yuanzang Mountain.

Then--

"laugh!"

A bright red light, like the soul-chasing scythe of a soul-chasing messenger, pierced through his heart before the sound came, even before Kotomine Kirei's vision caught it.

It was only after his vision was spun around and Kotomine Kirei was forced to turn his eyes to the night sky that he felt the solid ground behind him.

Then the sound of skin breaking, bones shattering, and muscles tearing entered my mind, drowning out everything with a rumbling sound.

Then, there came a severe pain that started from the chest and radiated throughout the body.

After seeing the bright red spear stuck in his chest, Kotomine Kirei's eyes were confused for a few seconds before he finally came to his senses.

Oh, lancer.

The master's servant.

It turns out he is not dead.

The corners of his mouth twitched several times, and hot blood flowed out. Kotomine Kirei felt that he should say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, the extreme sense of absurdity made Kotomine Kirei laugh.

Loud, all-out, and desperate laughter, as if to make up for the lack of laughter in the first half of life at once.

Ah, despair, misery, deception... dying from one's own conspiracy and calculations, with the bullet of assassination of others hitting one's own eyebrows, is there anything more tragic and sweet than this?

Great, great.

It would be great if I could kill the master with my own hands.

It's really good that Lancer didn't die.

It's so good that I died at the hands of Lancer.
