Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

There is no sunshine here, and the sky is a curtain of pink and blue, but it has a colorful halo. The light and breeze are always echoing in the sky above this world, and the atmosphere is warm and peaceful.

If there were no familiar white tower at the end and the figure of that annoying nightmare demon, he would really think this place was a tourist attraction in Avalon.

However, the scenery here was enough to surprise him, and it was in no way inferior to the surprise he felt when he first entered Avalon.

“It’s such a beautiful view.”

Xia Yuan squatted down and picked up a colorful flower, put it to his nose and smelled it, and a faint fragrance came to his nose.

There is touch and smell.

This is not the Avalon of the dream.

Then he looked at his arm and waved it, which should have been broken in the tearing, and found that the previous wound on his body was healed.

His body was restored to its original state, and his sense of smell and touch were still there, but his magic imprint and spiritual base were gone.

Soul body... But do soul bodies with sense of smell and touch really exist? And where exactly is this place?

After confirming that he was not in a dream, he began to analyze his situation. At this moment, he heard an ethereal voice suddenly coming from behind him.

"It's beautiful, I think."

"After all, this is a beautiful world that I have constructed after thinking for a long time."

"Who?!"

Xia Yuan, who was still admiring the scenery, suddenly heard a voice behind him and subconsciously became alert.

He looked back and saw a graceful figure in a white dress and a golden crown on her head looking at him with a smile. She was the owner of the voice.

Irisviel?

If Kiritsugu Emiya or Altria were here at this moment, they would definitely call out this woman's name immediately.

However, this was not her. Xia Yuan had already known this person's identity.

Seeing this person, it is no surprise that he already knows where he has been taken.

So, Xia Yuan nodded slightly towards the woman in front of him, then smiled and said hello to her: "Hello, the real Heaven's Cup, it's great to see that you still exist."

"Well, thank you very much for rescuing me."

"Because the Holy Grail was suddenly invaded by the soul of that saint, I lost my dominance as the Greater Holy Grail and could only fall into a short sleep. I will not be able to wake up again until you defeat him."

At this moment, the Holy Grail, appearing in the image of the Holy Maiden of Winter, Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern, expressed her gratitude to Xia Yuan with a faint smile: "I have to express my gratitude for everything you and the Servants have done."

Then she walked lightly to Xia Yuan.

The pure white Heavenly Clothes fluttered in the wind. Xia Yuan couldn't help being dazed as he looked at the Winter Saint who was so close to him. Her flawless and beautiful face, coupled with the temperament brought out by the Heavenly Clothes, made her look like an elf in winter, and he couldn't help but be attracted to her.

But his attraction to her was merely admiration. For such a beautiful and holy woman, he could only admire her in his heart and would not have any blasphemous thoughts.

In response to this, the Winter Saint smiled gently and displayed her beauty gracefully.

However, Xia Yuan quickly got to the point: "Heavenly Grail, since you appear here, it means that the Holy Grail still has the ability to fulfill the winner's wish, right?"

"That's right, the final winner.

Now I do have the ability to realize my wishes.”

She smiled and admitted, "So as the final winner, what is your wish?"

Hearing the affirmative answer from the Heavenly Cup, Xia Yuan thought for a while and then asked her.

"Can any wish come true?"

"Well, the Holy Grail has accumulated a huge amount of magic power from the earth veins that is far beyond imagination. Although a lot of it has been consumed just now, the remaining magic power is enough to make the wish come true."

She smiled and answered in the affirmative.

"Is it……"

He said, "Then can you repair all the effects of the Holy Grail War?"

"Repair... means to erase all the damage."

"Sure, I have enough strength left to do this."

Soon, the Heavenly Cup once again gave an affirmative answer.

"What is the definition and scope of restoration? The restoration I refer to includes: restoring the buildings and natural environment destroyed by the angels to their original state, and returning the humans who died or were transformed because of the Holy Grail War to their previous state. Can these two points be achieved?"

"can."

"Very well, then please fulfill my wish.

By the way, Heaven's Grail, I was also killed by an angel, so I should be able to be resurrected, right?"

In a short period of time, Xia Yuan thought rapidly in his brain and finally came up with this best of both worlds solution.

A way to revive yourself and resolve the huge impact they caused is to use the bug of the Holy Grail and make a wish in one go that can cover multiple situations.

However, this time things did not develop as smoothly as he expected.

Heaven's Cup shook his head.

“No, although by borrowing the huge magic power accumulated by the angels and the Holy Grail, I can fulfill the wish of reversing life and death and reaching the realm of law.

But I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to revive you."

"why?"

Xia Yuan swallowed.

"..."

The Heavenly Cup did not answer, but just lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Yuan silently.

"I see. So it's all because of me? This annoying identity of "Foreigner" has caused me so much trouble..."

Hearing that he was excluded again, Xia Yuan inevitably felt a little disappointed, but when he thought of his own uniqueness, he quickly guessed the reason and then felt relieved.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"Feel sorry……"

"No, you don't have to apologize. This is my own fault. I am the one who forced you to do something. But before I leave, can I ask you one more question? Heaven's Cup."

"Please say."

The Heaven's Cup nodded slightly.

"When the Holy Grail disappears, what will be the end of my soul? Will it completely dissipate between heaven and earth, or will it follow the Holy Grail and fall asleep in the inner side of the Holy Grail world like you?"

"..."

A moment of silence.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure where your soul finally went."

The Heaven's Cup shook his head and replied, "Your soul is very special. Even the Third Law cannot make a definitive statement about your existence. I cannot give you an accurate answer to this question."

"I see... Thank you very much."

"Then please continue to fulfill the first wish." Xia Yuan continued.

"Do your best to repair all the people who died in this Holy Grail War and all the buildings that were destroyed."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

There was a hint of sadness in Tian Zhibei's eyes, but Xia Yuan took it very calmly.

"It doesn't matter. You've already helped me a lot. At least you won't let me feel any regrets in the end."

"You are the true saint."

"Ha, I'm not a so-called saint, just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who doesn't want to implicate others." Xia Yuan shook his head slightly.

“The changes in this Holy Grail War, whether it was the appearance of the Count of Monte Cristo or Amakusa Shiro’s possession of the Holy Grail, were all caused by me. It caused the scale to expand to this extent, and it was because of me that so many people were affected.

For me, this is not about saving the world, it’s just a way of making up for it.”

"I'm just an ordinary guy trying to make amends."

Hearing this, the pure white saint in heavenly robes shook her head, stroked his face with her snow-white hands, and said with her forehead touching his, "Then as you wish."

"Thank you, Heaven's Cup, for giving me a chance to atone for my sins."

“You’re welcome, this is everything you deserve.

I'm sorry I couldn't save you in the end."

With a final farewell, a huge amount of magical power gathered, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped Xia Yuan.

The Heaven's Grail released all of the magic power that had been gathered from the veins of Fuyuki City for hundreds of years, as well as the huge reserves of magic power generated by the existence of the angels, and accomplished the great feat of reversing life and death in this instant.

In a moment, Xia Yuan's attention was attracted by the white light in front of him. Through the light, he could feel the breath of life constantly reviving.

The wish began to come true.

……

……

I can’t get in touch with you…

No matter how hard we tried to contact Weber, that poor student, we couldn't get through.

This was not surprising. With that poor student’s attainments in magic and without Rider’s protection, he would have died in the angel’s indiscriminate absolute destruction, or would have been transformed into an undead creature by the light.

And that idiot Xia Yuan even jumped into the core of the Holy Grail with the jewel sword, and then after causing a huge explosion, he disappeared completely.

Kenneth, who was still busy cleaning up the scene outside and thinking about how to explain to the clock tower, sat on the gravel with a headache.

All died, all died, both the students he brought in and the new students all died in the Holy Grail War, which made him feel heartbroken about his sense of responsibility as a teacher.

That’s not all, when the Clock Tower, the Cathedral, or the Spiral Pavilion arrive in the city and see the undead creatures wandering in the ruins and the concentration of ether, things will get even worse.

In a situation like this that involves the entire world, even he, as the Lord of the Clock Tower, cannot escape blame.

On the other side, Artoria, who still had some magic power left, was trying hard to find survivors in the ruins.

However, it seems that only one in ten people survived in the ruins of the entire city.

All perished in this mythical battle.

It's time to leave. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave.

Kenneth stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the rising magic power enveloped the entire city like a white tent.

The reversal of the state of life and death was also completely reversed at this moment.

"What is this?" Looking at the white curtain that kept falling, the light seemed to make time go back. There were buildings that were recovering rapidly in the ruins, and people who were constantly resurrecting.

Kenneth rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

This is a miracle that reverses life and death.

Standing on the top of the ruins, Altria stared blankly at the earth where the sun was shining again, with a smile on her lips.

"Is this the miracle of the Holy Grail? As expected, you are the final winner... Master."

The tremendous magic power was dissipating rapidly. The magic power that the angels had accumulated to transform the entire world was mostly destroyed under the starlight of the holy sword. It was no longer as terrifying as before.

Now, it has even accomplished the miracle of reversing the state of life and death for the entire city, and has completely emptied out everything that the Holy Grail has accumulated.

At this moment, the white silhouette of the Heavenly Cup became illusory and extremely unstable, as if it would disappear at any time.

At this last moment, she looked at Xia Yuan seriously, trying her best to use her last bit of strength to give this lost traveler her final sincere blessing.

"Although I cannot see your end, I would like to give you my final blessing."

She spoke softly, and her white figure disappeared in the light.

"I wish you a peaceful and carefree life."

"May your soul return to its true home."

"I wish you a happy ending."

The faint halo completely dissipated, and Xia Yuan held the fluorescent light in his right hand and expressed his gratitude in the same way.

"Thank you for your blessing. I am looking forward to it too."

After expressing his gratitude, he quietly watched the Winter Saint disappear. He seemed to lower his head slightly, but soon stopped, turned around, walked into the light and walked away.
