Chapter 31, The Last Battle
Chapter 31, The Last Battle (Part I)
"What is this?" Tosaka Rin looked at the Pandora's magic box in Lolita's hand and asked. After all, what he saw before was directly transsexual, and he had never seen Pandora's body.
"Box of doom!" Lolita pointed it at Rin Tosaka and said, "That's the Pandora's Box!"
"What! Do you have this kind of thing? Rin Tosaka said in surprise, after all, this kind of thing is a much more advanced artifact than the EA of the Hero King.
"Uh...this..." This Lolita really can't explain. Is it that the BOSS fell? Only fools will believe that this is not an RPG game.
"Forget it, it's not too much for you to have one or two artifacts as a child of the demon god Satan." Tosaka Rin suddenly remembered something, and then said with his left hand on the palm of his right hand.
"Hehe~~ That's right!" Lolita smiled and went down the donkey down the slope, and then looked at Ma Tongying in Emiya Shiro's arms with a serious expression.
"Well, you can disappear in this world! Close your eyes! Schicksalsschlag-Etui (Box of Doom) Drop the Pandora's box in your hand to the ground and open it...
The next moment, the dazzling white light enveloped the battlefield. Ordinary people would be crazy about the black mud as long as they were stained, but they rolled back and 'swimming' like a hairy mouse, but the white light did not let go at all. He grasped the black mud tightly and sucked the evil of this world into it...
When everyone's sight returned to normal, there was no disgusting black mud in the field, and only the black dry earth reminded everyone that this was the location of the previous disgusting thing.
The eyes turned to the box in the girl's hand. The small box, which looked less than 50 cubic meters, exaggeratedly swallowed up the evil thoughts of 6 billion people, but now it is quietly in the girl's hand.
"Sakura!" The weak girl was frozen in the black mud. Although it was protected by layers of black mud, the uncontrollable cold made her, who had already lost her mind, instinctively cry of pain.
New black silt keeps appearing in the body to maintain the girl's fragile life. It is cleared again and again, and overflowing from the Holy Grail again and again. The power of the curse is not reduced, but permeates the whole cave. The scope of black mud is gradually expanding, with the stench of corruption and the creepy sound of mud splashing.
"What's going on? Isn't it eliminated?" Emiya Shiro looked at Ma Tongying, who was constantly moaning in pain on the ground, and asked Lolita.
"Is there any way to solve it, Archer?" Looking at the painful appearance of Tongying, Rin Tosaka couldn't bear to bite his lips and asked.
Looking at the painful girl on the ground, Lolita hesitated for a moment, then condensed a dark energy ball in her hand, and then patted it into Jian Tongying's body.
"Rin, although I can temporarily suppress these curses, as long as the Holy Grail does not come, I can't eliminate it from the root." Lolita looked at the quiet Ma Tongying and the evil of this world that did not erode Ma Tongying in her body and said.
"The Holy Grail...Arrival..." That is to say, the Holy Grail War will continue?
Rin Tosaka looked at the spirits behind him, Altolia, Assassin, Rider, and then looked at Lolita in front of him. These are the last few spirits left in the Holy Grail War. Although they are all in their own camp, if the Holy Grail War must go to the end, then there can only be one spirit left according to the regulations...
Rin Tosaka's sight made Altolya and Rider hold the weapon tightly, and their faces were gloomy. Naturally, they also knew what would happen in the future.
Her next sentence will become a signal of war, which will be the last battle of the Holy Grail War.
However, she squeezed her lips tightly, and the announcement of the war did not come out of her mouth for a long time.
Although it has been considered before that even if the same camp must win or lose for the arrival of the Holy Grail in the end, Rin Tosaka found that he was hesitant at this time. Magicians are all outside human beings. They don't have human feelings. Everything they do is for the magic. They can give up anything unnecessary for the purpose. Those who can do so are qualified magicians.
Rin Tosaka has always thought of himself as an excellent magician, and he can give up everything for the continuation of the Tosaka family. There should not be real friendship between magicians, but only staggered interests. For the arrival of the Holy Grail and the elimination of these black mud, the right choice in the current situation is clear at a glance.
But why? It has only been a few weeks with Emiya Shirou, Saber, and these followers. Compared with my long-term journey to pursue the magic path, it is only a short moment, but the ordinary daily life is deeply engraved in my heart. You don't have to cover yourself up with a hypocritical mask. You can laugh and scold at will. What the cold Tosaka family can't understand, and the pursuit of magic has never been tried.
Little by little unconsciously precipitated, and then I looked back to find that I had already been intoxicated with it. Once I tasted it, I found that I was so yearning for this warmth.
"Leave it to me next, Lin." It turned out that it was Elijah, who had been ignored just now. The girl's crisp and sweet voice also interrupted Rin Tosaka's embarrassment, "The Holy Grail can only come when the spirits fight with each other and there is only one left. This is just a cover."
"Ilia? Is the cover you're talking about..." Although Elijah in front of you is just a young little girl, Rin Tosaka knows that the Ainz Belen family is the demon family that created the Holy Grail in those years. Even the understanding of the Holy Grail is far less than that of the Tosaka family. As the blood of the Ainz Beren family, Elijah will know something. The mystery of the Holy Grail is not surprising.
"As you guessed, Lin, 'the full amount of the spirit must be sent back to the spirit hall' is just an excuse. The arrival of the Holy Grail requires enough magic, and the so-called spirit is just a 'sacrifice' to supplement magic for the advent of the Holy Grail, allowing seven spirits to fight. Among them, the magic of the six spirits who return to the Hall of Spirits is used to summon the 'fuel' of the Holy Grail. Elijah's words suddenly reminded Rin Farsaka of something, and then stared at Elijah.
"Do you mean..."
"Yes, as long as the magic is enough, it doesn't matter whether the spirit returns to the spirit hall or not." Elijah said and walked towards the black mud step by step. "In fact, this Holy Grail War has long had enough magic in the Holy Grail. Lin should know that the Holy Grail War ten years ago was artificially destroyed after the arrival of the Holy Grail. The magic has not been vented and has been preserved to this day. This is what should have been fifty years. The reason why the Holy Grail War will be held early. Coupled with Berserker, Archer and Caster, the magic needed for the arrival of the Holy Grail has long been complete. There is no need for the spirits to continue to fight.
Elijah's words made Tosaka Rin a big sigh of relief. It's great to be able to fight and fight against Wei Gong and Saber.
"But..." Lolita's words attracted the attention of Rin Tosaka: "There are three conditions for the arrival of the Holy Grail. Adequate magic and the container for the Holy Grail - Sakura, which are all ready. The only thing missing is the key to open the Holy Grail."
"Key! Can't you say..." This sentence made Tosaka Rin stare at Elijah, hoping that the other party could say the sentence that he didn't think of...
"Because it was the Ainz Belen family who made the Holy Grail, the key is always kept in the Ainz Belen family." Elijah is very proud, but why? The proud smiling face makes people feel sad.
"You..." silent, Tosaka Rin needs to make a difficult choice, either to let his sister die in exchange for Elijah's survival, or sacrifice Elijah and let Ma Tongying die...
"Wait... Wait a minute, Elijah, where are you going?" Emiya Shiro's voice woke up Tosaka Rin. What she saw was Ma Tongying, who walked step by step towards Emiya Shiro, and a small quagmire appeared beside her.
"You..." At this moment, Rin Tosaka completely hesitated. Even the previous idea of wanting to sacrifice Masato Sakura disappeared without a shadow. After all, the little girl in front of him made a choice for herself...
Emiya Shiro looked at Elijah, who was still walking towards Matong Sakura. Despite Saber's dissuasion, he ran in the direction of Elijah at the risk of black mud.
"Shilang," suddenly, Elijah stopped and turned to look at Shilang, "Shilang, in fact, I hate you very much. It was you who robbed Chesi. You obviously agreed, but until the end, Chesi did not come back."
'Cut the heir!'
The name that should have been unrelated was shouted out of the girl's mouth, which made Emiya Shiro stiff.
[Can Elia wait? Until Dad comes back, can you endure even if you are lonely... Then, Dad will make an appointment with you. I won't let Elia wait for a long time. Dad will definitely come back soon.]
'Big Liar!!'
"I hate you, Shi Lang!" Suddenly, Elijah's eyes were opposite to Shi Lang.
It was a crimson pupil without any emotion. The body was paralyzed, not an illusion. The nerves of the body were bound, and even the fingers could not move at all. This is magic. Emiya Shirou, who was not on guard, was imprisoned by those magic eyes.
After all this, Elijah turned around and ran to the black mud without any hesitation.
"Come back, Elijah!" Wei Gong, who was frozen, shouted in vain. All he could see was the girl's figure getting farther and farther away, and the black mud rushing towards the girl.
The key to open the Holy Grail is Elijah's body.
He was transformed by magic countless times before he was born, and the flesh and blood of Elijah's body was just the crystallization of the magic circuit. I have never experienced what happiness is. The memories of my childhood have long been buried in the snow on the outskirts of the cold castle with the departure of my parents. She was 'made' like a doll and raised like a doll. She was no longer a human before she was born. The meaning of her existence was only for the Holy Grail from the beginning, a part of the long-cherished wish of the Ainz Belen family that began thousands of years ago.
It's finally over, right?
Is it okay to take a break?
I've worked hard, whether it's pain or loneliness. Walking step by step, I came here alone.
PS: There is no way to write everyone's experience perfectly. I'm sorry for this coffee table!
