Moreover, they weren't heading towards areas with less black mud, but rather seemed to be searching for something.

 "We're almost at our limit."

 Kirei Kotomine's deep voice came through: "The more you resist, the more you suffer, the more you sink into depravity. This is the nature of human desire."

 "That won't do. This is humanity's ultimate trial. It would be such a waste to stop just because our bodies can't keep up."

 Gilgamesh's face was no longer smiling; instead, it held a hint of seriousness. He pulled out several bottles of elixirs from the Gate of Babylon and tossed them at the two of them.

 "Being able to walk among the desires of all beings is already a qualification. If one can emerge from them, one is either an extreme desirer or a saint without desires."

 Through this reality, he looked at the environment in the black mud and saw what the two people were doing. He kept taking out elixirs from the King's Treasure and throwing them at the two people.

 In the end, the two escaped from hell.

 "Cough cough cough."

 Kazuma Sato spat out the black mud in his mouth and uttered two words:

 "Sorry...it failed."

 Emiya Shirou shook his head, a joy he had never felt before welling up inside him. Although he hadn't saved everyone, he had truly gone to save them.

 Every person you save is a form of redemption for yourself.

 Golden chains reached out and lifted the two from the black mud onto a rock pillar.

 Gilgamesh handed a bottle of elixir to Kazuma Sato and Shirou Emiya, and asked:

 "You guys actually got kicked out by [him]?"

 Kazuma Sato drank half of it:

 "What are you talking about? And who is [he/she]?"

 Gilgamesh looked down with displeasure, peering through the black mud at the contents hidden within the Holy Grail:

 "This guy... he can't take a joke, daring to ruin my good show, hmph."

 "Can't take a bet? Do you even have the right to say that?"

 As he spoke, Kazuma Sato gestured to Shirou Emiya behind him.

 The moment of preparing to take action.

 Kazuma Sato looked at Kirei Kotomine and suddenly noticed a pair of dark golden eyes not far behind him.

 He could make out the outline.

 Is this a person... or a ghost?

 Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya, with his dark skin, blended seamlessly into the environment.

 After arriving here, he used the [Pluto Cloth] to conceal his presence and regulate his overheated magic circuits.

 I'm going to activate [Unlimited Blade Works] directly and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

 Although this piece of cloth is not of a high grade, its weaving method is extremely complex. The original version's weaving orientation has reached at least the fifth dimension. Even with the support of the world and the projection of only a portion of its effects, it still took him a lot of time and effort.

 There is absolutely no way to find him using magic or optical detection.

 But that green-clad youth was able to detect himself through intuition; he truly deserves to be a being capable of causing such a catastrophe.

 But it's over now.

 [Emiya Shirou]'s hoarse voice came through:

 "【Unlimited Blade Works!】"

 The moment I saw those eyes.

 A chill ran down Sato Kazuma's spine. He immediately turned around, pressed Emiya Shirou's head down, and the two jumped back into the black mud below.

 An invisible ripple flashed by.

 Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine, who had just turned around, disappeared from their original spot.

 A few seconds passed.

 Kazuma Sato and Shirou Emiya couldn't stand it any longer, so they poked their heads out of the black mud and climbed back up the rock pillar.

 Most of their skin was burned off.

 Kazuma Sato collapsed to the ground, hissed, and cried out:

 "Hiss... I ate a lemon, and my red anus has come back to life."

 Emiya Shirou, however, was staring at the black mud beneath his feet. He cared far less about the pain and [Red Archer] than about what was under his feet. He asked Sato Kazuma:

 "Now how to do."

 By this point, he no longer questioned any of the decisions Sato and Kazuma had made during the war.

 "Um……"

 To be honest, Kazuma Sato didn't know what to do either, as they didn't have any usable treasures or materials.

 There's nothing to search here, oh, and two bottles of unfinished elixirs.

 He picked up the half-empty elixir from the surface of the stone pillar, and was about to drink it to relieve the burning sensation on his body when he noticed that the panel on it had changed.

 [Props: [Wufu Spring Water]]

 [Type: Elixir]

 [Rank: Gold]

 [Description: "Sun Simiao encountered this spring while collecting herbs to treat a plague. He used the spring water to prepare medicine, which quelled the plague along the Yellow River and saved countless lives."]

 Effect 1: [Fuquan C] provides a moderate therapeutic effect after consumption.

 [Effect 2: [Plague and Disease Repellent A+], derived from the legend of quelling plagues. After consumption, it can remove some negative physical effects, including but not limited to plague, curses, and diseases.]

 Eastern medicines are generally more effective than Western medicines when taken internally.

 But that's not the most important thing.

 Most importantly, after repeatedly observing the item, Kazuma Sato noticed that the [Gilgamesh] mark that originally belonged to it was gone!

 He immediately had an idea and said it to Shirou Emiya.

 "Let's go down again."

 "Ok?"

 Emiya Shirou didn't understand why he was being asked that, but simply nodded and said:

 "it is good."

 Kazuma Sato looked up at the base of the stone pillars extending from the ceiling and found the largest, remodeled square pillar among them.

 "That's it, let's go there!"

 Emiya Shirou projected a sword and threw it into the black mud. The two quickly stepped on the rapidly crumbling sword and moved towards the analysis platform.

 Upon reaching the square stone pillar, they descended along its surface and found their original altar, along with the Uruk Grail atop it.

 Emiya Shirou gestured to Sato Kazuma that this thing couldn't be destroyed.

 Kazuma Sato grinned crookedly, shook his finger, and grabbed the unclaimed [Uruk Grail] along with the creature inside, stuffing it directly into his backpack!

 "?!"

 Shirou Emiya was astonished. He gestured with his eyes, "Is this even possible?"

 "Basic exercises should not be six."

 Kazuma Sato gave him a look back and pointed upwards with his finger.

 The two emerged from the black mud, quickly took out half a bottle of elixir from their backpacks, and drank it down, barely managing to keep themselves alive.

 "This is a huge profit; I wonder how many Destiny Coins I can exchange for this."

 Kazuma Sato glanced at the deep red quality Holy Grail in his backpack and said with a smug look on his face.

 "Accept this black mud, let's retreat!"

 Emiya Shirou paused for a moment, then climbed the stone pillar and left the sea of ​​black mud.

 "...You go."

 Although it may sound childish, even if it's just a game, he wanted to "take responsibility" for Kitahara Iori and the others' actions.

 The rescue he carried out with Sato Kazuma in the ruins during the illusion had made him realize what he truly wanted.

 Save everyone.

 It's not about dreaming, about achieving instant success and redeeming everyone.

 Instead, we should start from this moment and save everyone we can see.

 "..."

 Kazuma Sato sighed and climbed up the stone pillar as well.

 There's really nothing you can do with him; he's definitely not someone you can have an easy time with.

 Shirou Emiya was somewhat moved, but he still understood what the Holy Grail meant and tried to persuade him.

 "You don't need to come with me."

 "I'm not here to accompany you... I just have something to do."

 Emiya Shirou laughed:

 "Is it."

 "Otherwise what? You're not some white-haired, red-eyed leading lady. Am I supposed to stay and keep you company?"

 Kazuma Sato changed the subject: "Holding on like this isn't a solution. My hands are getting a bit weak. Let's go back to the platform we were on before."

 "Ah."

 Emiya Shirou used up his last [Fill-in Projection].

 The two returned to the original stone pillar and quietly awaited the final outcome.

 Ten seconds later.

 Two figures appeared, riddled with bullet holes, Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine. They then vanished into spiritual particles, turning into golden and black boxes.

 The sound of a gun being cocked rang out behind Kazuma Sato and Shirou Emiya.

 Kazuma Sato didn't turn around, but immediately spoke.

 "I can resurrect those people."

 There was no movement or gunshots behind me.

 Kazuma Sato slowly raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm. He turned around and stared at the NPC who had the same face as his good brother for a moment, slightly stunned.

 Is Red P... degenerating?

 "What does resurrection have to do with me? I'm just here to wipe you out."

 [Emiya Shirou] spoke coldly, about to pull the trigger, but the next moment his expression became extremely complicated as two completely identical voices rang out almost simultaneously.

 "Can they really be saved?"

 The blackness on his face faded, and the real [Emiya Shirou] fought with all his might to regain some control of his body.

 Kazuma Sato nodded and said:

 "Have the opportunity."

 "Don't be fooled, kid,"

 [Black A] spoke through [Emiya Shirou's] body:

 "They are the culprits behind this disaster! Don't believe the words of such vicious people!"

 "I believe."

 Emiya Shirou stepped forward, walked up to himself, and grabbed his shoulder.

 "If there's a chance to be saved, why not give it a try?"

 "..."
