Type Moon: Social Death Nickname, Starting Lady Crane

After hearing Saber's words, Emiya Shirou nodded blankly and returned his gaze to the picture again.

The screen continues to play!!!

At this moment, after hearing the order given by Emiya Kiritsugu using the Command Seal, Saber was stunned.

No matter how she explained it, Saber did not understand the meaning of these words, and her thoughts suddenly went blank.

"Varied……?"

A whirlwind arose, sweeping away the surrounding flames. The Wind King's barrier dissipated, revealing the golden holy sword.

Even if Saber's mind refused to understand, her Servant's body would accept the function of the Command Seal without hesitation. The Divine Sword completely ignored the will of the one who wielded it, and continued to gather beams of light.

"How is that possible—what are you trying to do!?"

Even Archer was surprised to see Saber draw her sword, for he had fully believed that as long as she turned her back to the Holy Grail, Saber would not dare to use her ultimate move.

"wrong!!"

Saber yelled, screaming at the top of her lungs. She raised the golden holy sword high up, and when it reached the highest point, it stopped moving, as if frozen.

As the legendary Knight King and the strongest swordsman servant, her special resistance to magic was even able to block the restraint of the Command Spell at a critical moment.

She used all her strength to block the muscles all over her body, preventing her body from swinging the sword. The two forces of power and restraint collided with each other, raging wildly in Saber's body, almost tearing her thin body apart.

Saber desperately endured the powerful magecraft tormenting her entire body, while staring at Kiritsugu standing in the box seat, and shouted:

“Why is this happening!? Kiritsugu-san, you actually… why!?”

No way, he couldn't possibly give such an order.

Emiya Kiritsugu should have needed the Holy Grail just as much as Saber. Why, at this crucial moment, did he reject the Holy Grail? Why, at this moment, did he actually want to prevent the completion of the ritual that would cost his beloved wife her life?

Were even the deepest wishes he expressed at that time lies?

Archer discovered that Saber's abnormality was caused by the effect of the Command Seal, and was then aware of Emiya Kiritsugu's existence.

"How dare you, you damned bastard, come and interfere with my wedding!"

The group of Noble Phantasms that had just been pointed at Saber all turned together, aiming at the box where Kiritsugu was.

But just before the killing Noble Phantasm was unleashed, Kiritsugu once again pointed the back of his right hand toward Saber below and revealed the last Command Seals one by one.

"I command you again with the third Command Seal!"

“Don’t!!”

Seeing her pride and hope about to be shattered, Saber cried out loudly, tears falling on the spot.

"Saber, destroy the Holy Grail!"

290: This is the value of the Justice Partner!

No one could understand Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts.

No one knew the purpose of Emiya Kiritsugu doing this.

At this moment, everyone could only stare blankly at the screen, waiting for the subsequent development of events.

What happened at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even in all previous records, there was no record of the ending of the Fourth Holy Grail War, and it turned out to be like this!!!

At this moment, the viewers who were originally indifferent to the nature of this video after seeing the title are now extremely interested in it!!!

The picture is still playing!!!

In the picture, Saber's Noble Phantasm has reached the point where the arrow is on the string and must be released! ! !

No one can withstand this kind of violent power.

Saber cried out. The doubly amplified Command Seals forcefully ravaged and squeezed her body, draining away all remaining prana, gathering it into a beam of destructive light.

The beam of light, like a wild horse, traversed the entire auditorium and directly hit the Holy Grail floating on the stage. Archer, who had escaped to a safe area beforehand, avoided the direct hit, but his eyes were still blinded by the high brightness of the flash at close range, missing the opportunity to execute Kiritsugu.

The Holy Grail, once a part of Irisviel's body, was powerless to withstand the scorching flash, and silently lost its form and vanished. Saber closed her eyes tightly, unable to bear to watch the Holy Grail's fate—her last hope was shattered at that moment, and her war was over.

How could she bear to witness such a horrific ending?

In truth, she never opened her eyes again. Saber's Noble Phantasm, forcibly activated against her will, completely consumed her remaining magical energy, even the remaining energy needed to maintain her Servant's body.

Saber no longer has the ability or the will to remain in this world. The Master with whom she had made a contract certainly has no intention of saving her.

Saber’s body remained in the posture of swinging the sword, separating from the real world, and her entity quickly disappeared.

As Saber gradually lost contact with the real world, the last thought that came to her mind was the mystery of Emiya Kiritsugu.

A father happily playing with his daughter, a husband deeply trusted by his beloved wife, a warrior hoping to save the world, a killer despairing of justice. Although these contradictory human natures can be seen in him, at the last moment, he betrays and denies all of them.

In the end, all Saber could understand about him was his coldness and ruthlessness.

Until the very end, the two of them were unable to open up to each other and establish a trusting relationship. No, it should be said that in the end, she couldn't figure out her Master's true thoughts.

However, this is no wonder.

As her consciousness gradually faded, Saber laughed at herself.

Her fate with this man was limited to three orders, so what could she know about him? She couldn't even see what the people who used to serve her and had a closer relationship with her were thinking.

Perhaps... all of this is a long and tortuous punishment that this "king who does not understand human nature" must endure.

Saber, wounded physically and mentally, vanished with nothing to show for it. If there was any consolation for her, it was probably that she didn't have to witness the tragedy that followed.

The sword light of the Sword of Promised Victory not only destroyed the Holy Grail, but also pierced the ceiling of the upper stage, and then pierced through the entire Civic Hall, splitting the building in two.

The building, already ravaged by the flames, could no longer withstand the devastation. The upper floors began to collapse, and the roof, now unsupported, collapsed into the auditorium like an avalanche.

Amidst the crumbling bricks and tiles, Kiritsugu saw "that thing" in the exposed night sky.

The black sun—in his mental world where he came into contact with the black mud, that thing symbolized the end of this world.

Although Kiritsugu still had no way of knowing it until the end, the entity of the black sun was actually a "hole".

It was a spatial tunnel that connected the altar of the Advent Ceremony to the Great Holy Grail hidden deep beneath Mount Enzo on the west side of Miyama Town.

The Great Holy Grail had been absorbing the vast magical energy of the earth's veins for sixty years, and now, with the souls of six heroic spirits, its interior was already filled with an immense vortex of magical energy. This was the true form of the dark, wriggling "object."

The container removed from the Einzbern's artificial life form turned out to be nothing more than a key to open the hole and a control device to stabilize the hole's state.

Kiritsugu made a fatal mistake because he didn't know this. He should have told Saber to destroy the hole in the sky, not the Holy Grail container, but the Sword of Promised Victory.

A target that must be destroyed.

Although the loss of control over the container caused the black sun to begin to melt and become narrower and narrower, there was no way to prevent the black mud from overflowing from the other end of the hole before the hole was completely closed.

Originally, it was merely a force without attributes, used to open a portal from this world to the outside. However, due to a mistake planted in the past, this force was completely tainted with the color of a dark curse.

This was the black mud, tainted by the curse of all the evils of this world. The destructive force that burned all life now formed a torrent, pouring down on the Municipal Hall like a waterfall.

At this moment, looking at this scene in the picture.

During the Fifth Holy Grail War, Saber was stunned.

"So, the true face of the Holy Grail we're seeking is this filthy thing?"

"Can all the evil in this world really grant wishes?"

It was not until this moment, until she saw the gushing black mud, that Saber understood.

Emiya Kiritsugu probably already knew the result through other channels.

That's why he used the Command Spell to order himself to destroy the Holy Grail.

It's just that the object of destruction was wrong!!!

"Emiya Kiritsugu, have I misunderstood you all this time?"

However, despite his good intentions, Emiya Kiritsugu ultimately failed to do his job well.

It even made the black mud eruption smoother!!!

Even if his original intention was good, Emiya Kiritsugu cannot be forgiven at this moment!!!

Saber thought so, and beside Saber.

Emiya Shirou's face turned pale.

This scene brought back to his mind the childhood memories that he had always been reluctant to recall.

The screen continues to play!!!

In the picture, Archer, who was standing on the first-floor seats, could not find any place to avoid the baptism of black mud.

“Wha…what…!?”

Faced with the splashing mud and water and the surging black mud wave, the Golden Heroic Spirit was helpless and was washed away.

No, a moment later, even his drifting figure disappeared. The moment Archer's body touched the black mud, it was broken down and absorbed, losing its three-dimensionality and outline, and becoming assimilated into the black mud flow.

Kiritsugu, who had escaped the disaster by sitting in a private box, could only stare blankly at the surging black mud that engulfed the entire first-floor auditorium like a tsunami. The cursed waterfall falling from the sky showed no sign of stopping. The black mud overflowing from the auditorium turned into a black river, flowing out of the entrance of the Municipal Hall and spreading to the surrounding streets.

The killing began there.

At this time, people were enjoying a peaceful sleep, but the black mud of death smelled their lives and turned into a burning curse to attack them.

Homes and gardens were burned. Those who slept or woke up to escape were all burned to ashes. The object that had waited within the Greater Holy Grail for sixty years seemed to enjoy a moment of freedom and slaughter all life within its reach.

The death toll was later confirmed to be around 500, with 134 buildings destroyed. The cause of this devastating disaster remains unsolved, leaving a deep and lasting scar on the hearts of the citizens of Fuyuki City.

Soon, the hole in the sky vanished, and the mud flowed no longer. But the fire caused by the black mud continued to burn unabated, snatching up the fleeing people one by one and reducing them to charred corpses. The feast of death dyed the night sky a fiery red, and it lasted for a long time.

Emiya Kiritsugu walked out of the collapsed civic center and witnessed everything.

The sight of extinction was too similar to the scene that tormented him in his nightmares, but it was the bloodiest reality.

At this moment, although all the audience understood that Emiya Kiritsugu had Saber destroy the Holy Grail in order to prevent this from happening.

However, I cannot forgive Emiya Kiritsugu.

It was Kiritsugu Emiya's fault for making bad decisions based on his own consciousness before figuring out the situation.

No matter how good the original intention was, it cannot offset Emiya Kiritsugu's crimes!!!

It can be said that all those who were injured or killed were killed by Emiya Kiritsugu!!!

The screen continues to play!!!

At this moment, the picture changed.

A little boy appears in the picture.

This is Emiya Shirou when he was young.

When he came to his senses, Emiya Shirou found himself in a scorched earth.

All he knew was that there seemed to be a big fire.

The familiar city turned into ruins, just like the battlefield seen in the movies.

The fire died down in the early hours of the morning.

The wall of fire that had towered into the sky just now was now much shorter, and almost all the buildings had collapsed.

Among these ruins, only Shirou Emiya is still alive, only Shirou Emiya still retains his original form. This feeling is really strange.

I don’t know if it’s because Shirou Emiya is blessed with great fortune, or if Shirou Emiya’s house is built in a place with good luck.

Although the reason is unknown, Emiya Shirou is the only one still alive.

Since you have survived a disaster, you must survive.

It was very dangerous to stay here, so Emiya Shirou began to walk aimlessly.

It wasn't because Emiya Shirou didn't want to be reduced to a pile of charcoal like the people who fell around him.

Compared to the thought of not wanting to turn into charcoal.

Perhaps it was because there was a stronger emotion maintaining Emiya Shirou's will.

But Emiya Shirou still had no hope.

Because it was incredible that he was still alive, Shirou Emiya didn't think he could be rescued so easily.

Absolutely no luck.

No matter how hard you struggle, you probably can't escape from this fiery world.
