Chapter 149 The Golden Cup

Emiya Kiritsugu is a legend in the dark world, the mercenary world, and the killer world. From his debut as a teenager under the leadership of Natalie, who was both his teacher and mother, until his disappearance in 1985, nine years before the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he had completed numerous difficult missions without ever failing.

As a killer, Emiya Kiritsugu's creed is to solve the target by any means necessary. He will never fight head-on if he can't. You can imagine how strong his infiltration ability is.

However, today, the last night of the Holy Grail War, he found that his infiltration skills could not be used at all.

It's not that the enemy's defenses are so tight that no gaps can be found, but that the enemy has no defense at all.

Yes, undefended.

Before entering Mount Enzo, Kiritsugu made full preparations. Not only does it carry high-tech equipment for night fighting, but it also has magic traps and barriers set up in advance to deal with various emergencies that may arise.

In his expectation, even if Saber attacked from the front to attract the enemy's attention, his infiltration success rate would not be high. Because he didn't know who his enemy was and what arrangements he had made, this unknown brought him great pressure.

He thought about various possibilities, even the worst ending in which he, Irisviel, and Kuu Maiya died at the same time. But he did not expect that he would successfully enter Liudong Temple. He met no one along the way. Nothing happened.

Emiya Kiritsugu's current thoughts can be summed up by a popular Internet phrase - "I may have sneaked into a fake Ryudou Temple."

However, Kiritsugu was sure that he was infiltrating the real Ryudōji Temple.

The almost overflowing magic power flowing in the earth is real.

The comatose monks found in the wing were real.

There was also the feeling of living with Irisviel for nine years, and the tacit understanding developed through countless battles with Kuu Maiya, all of which told Kiritsugu that he was not looking in the wrong place, nor was he under any illusion.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step and see one step.

Emiya Kiritsugu said to himself while adjusting his whole body.

Relax your muscles appropriately so that no part of your body is tense with excess strength.

The spirit is like a frozen lake, turning into a mirror to reflect the panoramic view of the surrounding area. He made himself a probe that was more sensitive than hearing and clearer than vision. There was no blind spot and he could immediately detect any slightest movement. He walked slowly in the darkness towards the only light source in Liudong Temple, the square in front of the main hall. .

The road from the wing to the square in front of the temple is still smooth, with no traps or barriers, just like an ordinary temple.

The next corner is the main hall.

Kiritsugu thought this, and gently held the handle of Thompson Contender's gun with his fingers. The familiar feel of walnut wood gave him a sense of peace of mind.

With his footsteps falling silently and his breathing long and slow, Kiritsugu walked around the corner and arrived at the brightly lit square in front of the temple.

At first glance, Kiritsugu saw his wife.

It is a body that is carefully carved with the greatest achievements of Einzbern's alchemy. There is almost no flaw in the body. It can be said to be the pinnacle of man-made beauty.

However, this breathtakingly beautiful woman has lost the spirituality she once had. She is like an exquisite doll with empty eyes, lying lifelessly in the center of a makeshift altar.

Inside the doll's body, immeasurable magic is being generated from her heart, flowing along the blood vessels throughout her body, and finally overflowing from every pore.

The huge magic aggregate caused scorching temperatures in the surrounding area just by the ripples.

The dead remains of the beautiful artificial life form instantly burned and turned into ashes, revealing a golden cup-shaped vessel.

Dead, his wife, Irisviel, is dead.

Kiritsugu instantly confirmed this fact.

Every time Irisviel's body absorbs the soul of a Servant, it loses part of its human functions.

A soul with powerless hands.

Two souls cannot walk together.

The three souls can only lie dormant in the alchemical formula.

The four souls, losing all their vital signs, were restored to the true form of the Golden Cup, the Little Holy Grail, before Kiritsugu's eyes.

I came too late and couldn't catch up to see her for the last time.

Kiritsugu wanted to cry, but couldn't.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Kiritsugu."

A call that was gentle, joyful, filled with all his emotions, and could even melt his frozen heart.

That is the call from my wife.

"Kiritsugu."

There was another call, clear and real, not an illusion.

Kiritsugu turned his head mechanically and saw the pure white figure standing in the corner of the square.

Long silver hair, red pupils, and a pure smile without any hint of darkness.

"Eri——" Kiritsugu subconsciously called out his wife's nickname and stared blankly at his wife running towards him, only to be stopped by another voice.

"Madam, you cannot leave the magic circle."

This voice was also familiar to Kiritsugu, even more familiar than Irisviel's. That woman had been following him for a longer time and had become a part of his life.

"Maiya."

Kuu Maiya was sitting on the steps about five meters away from Irisviel. Some kind of magic seemed to be cast around her and she couldn't move.

This scene once again caught Kiritsugu by surprise. He had no idea what was going on.

"Maiya...what's the matter...and Airi, aren't you——"

Before Kiritsugu could finish speaking, new changes appeared in the altar.

The golden Holy Grail seemed to be held by an invisible hand and floated in the air.

At the bottom of the Holy Grail, a hair-like crack appeared. Through the small gap, something "something" quietly seeped into the Holy Grail.

The "thing" looked very similar to the "mud". It was black in color, and it was a deep and boundless black.

After it seeps in, a drop flows down, and after one drop flows down, it is connected to a line of black mud, and then it is like a dike breaking. The rushing black mud overflowed from the container in an instant and poured onto the altar.

"Is this what you call pollution?"

"Yes."

The shadows and pure white spirits converged, condensing the shapes of the queen and the saint respectively.

Scathach glanced at Kiritsugu indifferently, walked into the altar, and took the initiative to reach out and touch the overflowing black mud.

As if a certain mechanism was triggered, the black mud suddenly began to boil, and tentacle-like mud pillars grew one after another, wrapping around Scathach's arms and body.

Seeing that a large amount of black mud was about to engulf Scathach, Scathach suddenly snorted heavily, and an invisible force burst out from her body, and the black mud suddenly disappeared into ashes.

"It turns out to be a degraded copy of the 'Primordial Sea'. It's a pity that no matter how many such things there are, they can't kill me."

Scathach shook his hand as if shaking off something dirty, and exited the altar in a flash, heading towards the mountain gate.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll have the final showdown with Saber."

Justisa also stepped forward at the same time, facing the black mud that was out of control.

"I wish you good luck in martial arts."

"I wish you all the best."

The Queen of the Demon Realm and the Saint of Winter passed by each other, each rushing to their own battlefield.

PS: After reading this chapter, I want to correct two cognitive errors: First, the prerequisite for Shining to be spit out is that his body is intact. Shining whose spiritual core has been destroyed will undoubtedly die. For details, please refer to "Fatestaynight". Second, how could the strongest monomaniac be Goudan? The overall ranking is Black Dog. The second overall ranking is Uncle Hai from Snow City, who is also the best in dueling and standing. What’s even more sad is that Goudan’s proud output has been lost to the newly released Nuclear Bomb Hijikata. After comparing, Goudan's biggest advantages at present are only the 50np charge and the blood-armored Fei Ge who can fight with all his strength regardless of defense.
