"Eh?"
At the height of Liudong Temple, Irisviel stood beside Roland in confusion, staring at the temple that was painted with a layer of blurred colors under the moonlight.
Being suddenly pulled from Einzbern Castle to a place like this, Irisviel didn't react for a moment and just subconsciously pulled Roland's arm.
But when she saw the scene in Liudong Temple, she understood everything.
"Lord Roland, is it finally time to use me?"
The function of the Small Holy Grail is to act as the key to the Great Holy Grail, storing the souls of heroic spirits when necessary, converting them into magic power, and finally connecting them to the Great Holy Grail to open holes outside the world.
Therefore, her sacrifice was necessary, and Irisviel had already realized this.
Anyway, her wish has been fulfilled. As a real human being, she has a husband, a daughter, and spends her daily life in such a happy family. Although the time is short, Irisviel already feels very satisfied.
"Yes, after that, you need to activate the Clothes of Heaven and transfer the subject's soul directly into the Great Holy Grail."
As he said that, in the shadow next to him, the dark ninja carried out a cabinet and opened the door.
What appeared in front of Irisviel's eyes was the holy dress with a pure white base, decorated with golden lines and bright red satin, with a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.
This is Einzbern's trump card, the ceremonial dress that controls the center of the Great Holy Grail.
But in Irisviel's opinion, it was more like a curse shaped like a dress.
"After the Great Holy Grail is summoned, you only need to run the center of the Great Holy Grail with all your strength to ensure that the third method is activated normally."
"You don't need to collect the souls of other servants, but let the Holy Grail be summoned by your side when the conditions are met to ensure that the one who makes the wish is you?"
Irisviel blinked in confusion, but what responded to her was Roland's look as if he was looking at a fool.
"Why should I sacrifice my own things to make wedding clothes for these people? It is a kind of neglect not to do it when there is a better way."
It was obviously the same unreasonable words as when they first met, but after the relationship changed, Irisviel did not have the original perseverance. Instead, she blushed and lowered her head shyly.
Roland glanced at Irisviel and said, "What's more, even if you want to sacrifice yourself, you can't do it now. Do you really think that the soul of the servant is still in your body?"
Irisviel was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched her abdomen and exclaimed.
"How is it possible? Berserker's soul was clearly..."
"That was indeed the case at the time, but soon, his soul was transferred to the Greater Holy Grail. This is what you should do as the Lesser Holy Grail. No wonder you didn't notice it."
"However, the Great Holy Grail is a complex and complete system that is impersonal. Because of this, it needs a key like the Small Holy Grail to confirm the beginning of its final function. If such a thing really happens, it only means one thing……"
Irisviel subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent her exclamation from coming out, but Roland just looked at Yuanzang Mountain quietly below him. His eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier of the mountain and pointed straight at it. A large hole in the ground.
"The Great Holy Grail is not just a simple prop, it already has its own desires," Roland added in a calm tone the second half of the sentence that Irisviel failed to finish.
"And it can't wait to really live in this world."
Suddenly, Roland raised his head and looked at the sky.
"But before that, I have to help it and let these troublesome heroic spirits act as fuel."
——
The barrier placed by Danik outside Ryudong Temple was violently destroyed.
As if signaling the final battle, the golden flying boat with emerald as its main color and an appearance like fairy wings turned into a meteor and rushed over Ryudong Temple with considerable momentum.
The automatic counterattack effect of the barrier was blocked by the shield on the flying boat before it could reach the King of Heroes. As long as Gilgamesh was willing, Vimana, who was his throne, could easily flatten the top of Mount Enzo.
But considering Enkidu's safety, Gilgamesh did not launch a counterattack, but just rushed in with a ravaging attitude.
Gilgamesh, who was unharmed, quickly glanced at the temple with a fearful and anxious posture, and then his eyes froze.
Enkidu opened his arms as if embracing the world, but his face did not have the same smile as before.
The magic power in his body surged like lightning, causing violent winds to rage within it, and allowing life to sow on the earth. This was the most primitive form of the planet, but both Enkidu and Darnic knew that this It's just a flashback.
"Enkidu, command him with the second command spell to become one with me!"
As the command spell disappeared, Enkidu's long green hair was blown by the wind, and then, like a wild beast, he bit Darnic's neck!
"It's great to be able to summon you! Your soul must be restless too. You, a self-proclaimed prop, have such clear emotions,"
"Although his life would disappear in the next moment, Danik still laughed excitedly.
"Order it with the third command spell! Enkidu, engrave my soul into this body!"
Originally a clay doll used as a weapon, Enkidu, who gained intelligence after meeting a holy prostitute, was very suitable to complete the reappearance of this legend.
As if he didn't notice Gilgamesh's arrival at all, Enkidu held Danik tightly in his arms. It wasn't until the other person's flesh, blood, and soul seeped into his body that he seemed to have regained his rationality.
"Miscellaneous Cultivator...how dare you!"
Gilgamesh jumped down and wanted to touch Enkidu with a serious attitude that he had never shown since he was summoned.
It's still possible, it can still be redeemed... Even if the soul is entangled, as long as Enkidu's life has not disappeared and this posture has not been shattered, the original book that has spent all its treasures can always find a way to suppress or even relieve it, saying After all, this is just a magician's method.
Enkidu also noticed Gilgamesh's movements, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, as if he wanted to reach out.
But finally, another cold voice broke Gilgamesh's movements.
"Order it with a command--"
Gilgamesh knew clearly who the owner of this voice was, his new master, Kotomine Kirei.
The man who had evil hidden in his heart, who was instigated by himself, stabbed Tokiomi Tosaka in the back.
Because of this, he knew exactly what Kotomine Kirei wanted to do next.
Just like the reincarnation of fate, Gilgamesh, who could not empathize with Tokiomi Tohsaka at all, actually felt the same when this real horror came.
He tried to stop Kotomine Kirei with a trembling voice that he had not even noticed.
"Kirei! - You can't... you can't do this, you can't do this!"
"Stop what you're doing, King of Heroes."
But Kotomine Kirei's voice continued to come, conveying the complete command. Although the voice was cold and solemn, anyone could hear the joy contained in it.
——It was as if he was trying his best to hold back his laughter, but still couldn't do it.
"Use the second command spell to order Archer to stay where he is and watch this scene quietly!"
As if he still felt unsafe, the second repeated command came, causing Gilgamesh to stop completely in mid-air and stop in front of Enkidu.
Just like being in the first row of a theater, you can enjoy the laughter, sadness, and...struggle of the actors.
"Jill, don't blame yourself. You know... even without the command spell, you are already too late."
With the last strength of his life, Enkidu did not lament his fate, but instead comforted his friend. He seemed to want to say something more, but in the end, Enkidu just smiled regretfully at Gilgamesh. .
The next moment, his body turned into a clay doll and shattered.
The life created by God still returns to the nothingness of earth.
For the second time, I still couldn't do anything. Compared to my best friend who was a clay doll and struggling in trouble, I could only sit back and watch this ironic tragedy reappear.
Different from the anger of being repeatedly slapped in the face by Roland and finally running away in embarrassment, this moment was the real and ultimate insult to Gilgamesh.
The overwhelming murderous intent and majestic pressure emerged from Gilgamesh's body, causing the atmosphere to change instantly.
It was as if all the airflow stopped and froze in an instant, but no matter how much anger and killing intent were filled in Gilgamesh's bright red eyes, in the end, he could only stand like a man who had been punished. Standing there like a child, he could only vent his inner emotions with his cruel voice that seemed to be bleeding.
"Kotomine Kirei——! Even if I kill you ten thousand times, it's not enough!"
Gilgamesh's face became as ferocious as a demon, and the boundless humiliation and pain gnawed at his heart like a small insect.
But what responded to him was Kotomine Kirei's ruthless ridicule.
"This is my honor, King of Heroes. 'Just pursue pleasure,' that's what you told me. I was bitten by a beast that I unleashed, and was betrayed by someone I didn't even expect. For my best friend, Death is powerless. Do you, such a vulgar person, try to guide me?"
Kotomine Kirei's words were like nails, each one struck Gilgamesh's heart hard.
What finally ended Gilgamesh's life was that sarcastic rhetorical question.
"How is it, King of Heroes, how do you feel now, how do you feel?"
The shorter the command, the more powerful it is. No matter how unwilling Gilgamesh is, he can only wait until the effect of the restraint wears off.
After everything was over, golden waves appeared around Gilgamesh, but what was faster than his movements were Kotomine Kirei's words.
"By the third command spell, commit suicide, Archer."
At this time, a thunder followed by the sound of hooves broke the silence, and purple thunder suddenly appeared at the end of the sky, tearing a long crack.
What sounded together with it was the thunderous shout.
"Lancer! I'm here to take revenge on you. Get ready for this king's never-ending conquests...archer? What are you doing here..."
Before Rider could finish what he said, what happened in front of him made the carefree king stunned.
Gilgamesh, who was standing in the air, seemed to have not heard his voice at all. He took out a sharp dagger from the king's treasure and pierced his heart without hesitation!
