"What on earth is this..."
Weber looked at the ruins in front of him with some horror. If it hadn't been for the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid that had protected him just now, everyone else would be gone now.
"Ahem..." A man coughed, covered in dust, and stood up from a corner of the ruins not far away.
"Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Kenneth squinted at the man, and the moon spirit fluid around him twisted around, as if he was preparing to attack.
"Stop, we are no longer enemies." Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand to stop him.
Kenneth looked at the back of the hand that had no Command Seal, frowned, and asked, "What happened here just now?"
Emiya Kiritsugu did not hide anything, and gave a simple explanation about the fact that the Holy Grail had been contaminated and monsters had escaped from it, including the fact that he asked his servants to destroy the Holy Grail.
After listening to this concise and concise explanation, Kenneth couldn't say that he was disappointed, just because he had no hope from the beginning that the Holy Grail could fulfill wishes and reach the source, which was similar to the exaggerated effect of promotional posters.
Kenneth just regarded the Holy Grail as something similar to a trophy, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't even see the shadow of the cup, and the thing was blown up?
Now, Kenneth just wants to say: "The Holy Grail ceremony is a piece of shit!"
The process was bullshit, the rules of the ceremony were bullshit, the confidentiality measures were bullshit, and even the final outcome was bullshit!
Think about it, what did the entire Holy Grail ceremony do besides causing gas explosions?
The demolition squad is in action?
The old house in Dongcheng District has been demolished, and I heard that preparations are already underway for reconstruction!
Spread religious superstition?
Octopus must be the most direct driving force behind the establishment of Death Cult Grass, and the unknown mysterious family provided sufficient financial support!
In short, faced with such an anticlimactic result, the magic monarch was a little depressed. He walked towards the place where the fragments fell, thinking that since he couldn't get the Holy Grail, he would at least take some Holy Grail fragments back. Maybe he would still be able to do it later. You have to forge a Holy Grail yourself.
After all, he said that he would go back to Sora with the Holy Grail, ahem...
"Um……"
Before Kenneth could start picking up the fragments of the Small Holy Grail, a slight muffled sound came from the pile of rubble nearby.
Kenneth frowned and controlled the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid to pass over. After lifting the pile of rubble, a broken body was exposed.
"Why are you here?"
Kenneth was a little surprised and looked at the boy who had been exposed to the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.
"And your injuries?"
At this moment, Wu Ke's injuries were very serious. He almost lost half of his body, and if the broken parts of his body were not blocked by some black mud that was still slightly squirming, the blood would have been drained...
However, the fact that Artoria's anti-army weapon was able to hit Artoria in the face without being directly turned into ashes in the light of the holy sword is enough to prove the toughness of SB's body strengthened by black mud.
"What, not dead yet?"
Emiya Kiritsugu's figure who was about to leave here paused, turned around and ran directly over here. Then, he was intimidated by the silver spikes exposed by the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, and stopped four meters away.
Emiya Kiritsugu shouted to Kenneth: "He is the monster I was talking about. He has been possessed by something from the Holy Grail. You must get rid of him quickly before giving him a chance to recover."
Kenneth became slightly vigilant, but he did not directly listen to Emiya Kiritsugu's words. Instead, he kept a little distance from Wu Ke, as if dealing with some kind of dangerous object, intending to confirm the other person's situation first.
"You guys, are you okay?"
The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid shook Wu Ke's body.
"I'm okay……"
A hoarse voice that seemed to have a very dry throat came from Wu Ke's mouth.
"It's just that I feel like I've had a lot of bad dreams..."
The Little Holy Grail was destroyed, Angora Mainyu's personality was shattered, and Wu Ke's consciousness broke free from countless black mud illusions.
At this time, when he regained consciousness, he felt like he was in another world. In the short period of time when he was submerged in the black mud, too many evil thoughts poured into his consciousness.
Because there were too many fragments of evil thoughts, and the various tragedies and tragic illusions caught between them were too real, the sudden separation gave him an unreal feeling. He felt like he was in a dream, and he was somewhat unable to react to the current situation. My head is still dizzy!
“Is this the pollution you’re talking about?”
The moon spirit marrow liquid rolled up a little bit of the still wriggling black mud from Wu Ke's body. Kenneth concentrated his magic power on his fingers, and he tried to tap the black mud with his fingers.
The moment his fingertips touched the black mud, Kenneth also received something, and his fingers moved away like an electric shock.
"Is it a materialized negative consciousness?" Kenneth made this judgment, looked at Wu Ke who was gradually recovering, and said, "But it doesn't seem to have a great impact on you?"
"Because he has turned into a monster!"
Kenneth ignored Emiya Kiritsugu, but looked at Wu Ke, hoping he would give an answer.
Wu Ke shook his head slightly and replied: "I don't know either. It's just that some of these black things feel very pitiful to me. They didn't become like this voluntarily, just because of the reality and helplessness!"
Kenneth: "..."
When being immersed in negative consciousness, he actually felt pity for the negative consciousness itself. What kind of magical brain circuit is this? What's more important is that the other party really did this.
You know, he just touched it a little, and the desire for destruction and some unreasonable hatred emerged in his heart, as if he wanted to kill someone to vent his depression about the anticlimactic end of the Holy Grail War.
This was just a small amount of negative emotion, but it was magnified dozens of times, to the point where he wanted to kill anyone at will. It was really terrifying, just like some of the great resentful spirits he had encountered in some dangerous secret realms, which were so harmful to people. The mental effects are the same.
"Anyway, you are still normal now. Let me take you back for treatment!"
After all, he knew Wu Ke, and he had helped him and Sora a little bit in his relationship. Kenneth felt that he owed him something.
As a magic monarch with a sense of honor, although some of Kenneth's actions are as unscrupulous as a normal magician, he will not abandon Wu Ke now.
Emiya Kiritsugu had an opinion. Although Wu Ke seemed to have returned to normal now, compared with the risks involved in rescuing or ignoring the other party, according to his original code of conduct of sacrificing the individual to ensure the greater self, it would only be Choose the answer of sacrificing one of the other parties to ensure that the situation is safe.
It's a pity that now that he has no firearms, if he only relies on physical skills, he will obviously not be a match for Kenneth, the magic monarch who still has some power left.
Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu could only remain silent, watching Kenneth wrap the young man up in the mercury-like Moon Spirit Liquid, as if he was ready to pack it away with the Holy Grail fragments later.
Kenneth picked up the fragments, and Webber was scolded by him to help pick them up. When all the fragments of the Holy Grail were collected and he was about to take people away, a black vortex appeared in the sky. The whirling phantom seemed to have endless black mud surging inside, and a dull pressure gradually came...
"That is……"
Weber looked up at the sky with his mouth wide open, and the fragments of the Holy Grail in his hand fell to the ground.
"The mouth of the Holy Grail? Why..."
Emiya Kiritsugu was even more horrified.
"The passage from the inner side of the world to the outer side is being opened?!"
Kenneth's eyes twitched.
The Holy Grail Ceremony is actually being held using such dangerous things?
On the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, Wu Ke groaned, and several people looked over.
"There are many voices inside, saying that they want to come out..." Being eroded by the black mud, Wu Ke could feel more things. He raised his hand and pointed at the full moon that was gradually covered by the black vortex.
"Fill it, fill it..." This was the incantation recited by Weber when he summoned Rdier. The young magician's face changed slightly at this moment: "Could it be that when the hollow above is filled with those black things? When it is full, that’s when the contents inside overflow into this life, right?”
"..."
No one answered him, but it was obvious.
"No, we have to disperse the people in this area, but..."
Emiya Kiritsugu grabbed his hair, and he realized that he had no way to quickly disperse the crowd.
Looking at the growth rate of the black mud in the cavity above, it is certain that it will not take half a quarter of an hour for the contents inside to fill up and overflow!
There is not enough time, and he does not know that the coming disaster will affect only him...
No, he is not alone. Next to him is a Clock Tower Lord who is proficient in seance magic.
"Kenneth, you are an expert in this field. You should know how to stop the appearance of ritual summons, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Kenneth with some hope.
Kenneth had a gloomy look on his face: "Do you think such a large-scale spiritual phenomenon can be easily stopped?"
"Not to mention anything else, just based on the corrosive effect of the black mud, at least the same level or even higher level of ritual magic must be used to seal the inner passage that is about to be opened. Otherwise, even a normal sealing spell array Even if it works, it will soon be eroded by the black mud and lose its ability to resist!"
Emiya Kiritsugu knelt down. Faced with the impending catastrophe, the feeling that he was powerless to deal with it was something that made him feel extremely desperate: "Could it be that you can only watch, but you can't do anything?" Can’t do it?”
"Uncle Kenneth, will it be bad if the black mud falls?" Wu Ke asked, he had already become accustomed to the black mud.
Although the black mud made him experience some illusions and made him feel a little tired, there seemed to be nothing dangerous except for the black mud monster.
At this time, Kenneth didn't care that he was called uncle, and answered his question: "Except for an alien like you, it will probably be a very bad thing for anyone else to be contaminated with black mud."
"Guys with magical powers may be able to resist for a while, but ordinary people will die in nine out of ten cases, but those black muds have the ability to swallow up lives. And..."
Kenneth looked into the distance. There were already ordinary people coming here. The eyes of those ordinary people were a little dull. Looking at the black-red mud in the hollow above their heads, their souls seemed to be taken away. They all stood there blankly. land.
"Furthermore, there is a kind of charm-like power on the black mud. It can also be said to be a fear-like magic. It makes those who see it fall into terrifying illusions. It's okay for magicians who are resistant, but there is no resistance. Ordinary people who have seen its existence will be like a fly falling into a Venus flytrap, with no ability to resist and no possibility of escaping."
"Let's go. What's about to happen here is beyond our ability to handle. We have to leave here before the things in the sky fall. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if it is affected!"
"Then those people..." Weber couldn't bear it.
"Definitely dead. Of course, if you plan to carry a few away, you can probably save some. However, the number of those that can be saved is probably negligible compared to those who will die later."
Kenneth's tone was calm, almost cold, as he stated this fact.
"I would like to ask, can we just plug up the hole above?"
Wu Ke suddenly raised his hand and asked like a student in class.
"That's true, but what should be used to block it? Whether it is a sealed magic circle or a real substance, if it is not to a certain level, there is no way to intercept it..."
Kenneth's voice stopped.
"Use these, okay?"
In the young man's hand, a ball of black mud was quietly changing its shape.
Although the erosion of the evil in this world ended with the defeat of Angora Mainyu, the power to control black evil was still completely inherited by him.
Just like Angola Mainyu can use the power of SB, Wu Ke can also use the other party's evil power. As long as he identifies with these black muds in his heart, instead of rejecting them with a repulsive mentality...
"Okay, that's okay, but if you want to block the hole, you need to get in there first and block the passage in advance."
Kenneth pointed to the sky, where half of the vortex had turned dark: "And once you enter, even if you yourself will not be eroded by the black mud, do you think you can come back from the space over there?"
This is almost impossible. Anyone who intends to use this simple and crude way to prevent failed séances will eventually be taken away from this world by the séance itself.
Although there is a difference in scale between the Holy Grail ritual and seance magic, there is not much difference in essence. This is obviously a 'mysterious' ritual that has failed and will cause major disasters!
"This Holy Grail ritual is not something created by a magic amateur like you. You don't have to be responsible for it, and it even cost you your own life..."
Kenneth shook his head.
"I came to this strange world with a mission, and at this moment I already feel what I should do. The only thing I can't let go of..."
"Uncle Kenneth, can I ask you to do something for me?"
Kenneth realized what he was about to say, raised his hand to stop him and said, "I don't know how to take care of children!"
"But Miss Sola will, and you will not refuse Miss Sola's request, because you are a good husband with tracheitis who loves his wife!"
Kenneth found himself unable to argue with this.
"Please help me say sorry to Sakura because I failed to keep my promise and go back early."
"Please help me tell her that tomorrow will be better. Even if the person who cares about her is no longer with her, he will continue to care about her elsewhere!"
"Please help me tell her one last time: go to bed early and get up early, exercise regularly, study hard, and make progress every day..."
Wu Ke almost said the last series of summary explanations in the form of Rap.
Weber was a little bit dumbfounded. It should be a very serious moment now, but the conversation that happened here made people want to laugh, but it was the kind that would make you cry when you laugh.
Like Iskandar, this person is a being with his own beliefs and brilliance. Even if they look stupid in the eyes of outsiders, they will involuntarily attract people who look like fools to look at their backs. Be longing!
"Wait a minute, bring these Holy Grail fragments." Kenneth no longer stopped, and said what he knew was helpful: "According to the original information I obtained about the Holy Grail, the small Holy Grail on the outside should be the big Holy Grail on the inside. External linking equipment has the ability to locate. If you take these fragments and throw them back, it will probably reduce the resistance you have to block the hole!"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the young man. After taking the fragment of the Holy Grail, he flew towards the empty figure without hesitation. He was speechless for a moment, and tears unknowingly streaked down the old man's face.
At this time, he suddenly realized that maybe the real messenger of justice is not the guy who chooses to sacrifice others, but the fool who is willing to sacrifice himself. And he who sacrifices others but forgets himself is at best just a shoddy and fake person. Just a messenger of justice.
A guy who knows that he will never come back, but still chooses the path of never coming back. This is undoubtedly a truly stupid act, but in addition to true fools, there are also real heroes who would commit such SB acts.
The young man sank into the hollow, and you could see his figure entering the hollow, with new black mud pouring out of his body.
The hollow above the head, covered by this new layer of black mud, gradually became illusory, and finally disappeared, completely disappeared, and there was no trace...
