Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master
Chapter 252 Requesting "Avalon"
At Ryudo Temple at the end of Miyama-cho in Fuyuki City, the morning light begins to shine and the place becomes busy.
Although the area around Mount Enzo is located outside the suburbs of Fuyuki City, it is sparsely populated.
But the occasional huge explosions and vibrations on the top of Mount Yuanzang last night still alarmed the residents at the foot of the mountain.
Many people stayed awake all night, filled with anxiety and curiosity.
When the sun rises and the strange fog dissipates, some brave local residents venture up the mountain.
They made their way through the muddy mountain trails, carefully avoiding scattered debris and fallen trees.
When they arrived at Liudong Temple, they were stunned by the scene before them: the once solemn and majestic temple was now only a ruin.
As time went by, more and more people arrived at the scene, and a large crowd of onlookers and rescue workers soon gathered outside Liudong Temple.
These rescue workers, dressed in bright uniforms, wearing helmets and carrying various tools, shuttled through the ruins of the temple.
A cordon was set up around the temple and several policemen were maintaining order.
Not far away, a group of reporters were holding cameras and microphones and broadcasting live.
"On XX/XX/1994, a gas explosion occurred at Mount Enzo in the southwest of Fuyuki City."
"According to preliminary investigations, an earthquake occurred in a local area of Yuanzang Mountain due to the movement of the bottom crust plates. The earthquake caused a gas pipeline leak in Yuanzang Mountain, which eventually caused a series of explosions. The explosion area was concentrated on the top of Yuanzang Mountain. The once century-old Liudong Temple was reduced to ruins in this disaster. The surrounding mountains were also affected and damaged to varying degrees. When the reporter arrived at the scene, the site was in a mess and it was horrible to look at..."
Rescue work is still in full swing and everyone is waiting for further news, trying to figure out what happened last night.
As the rescue work continued, the roar of helicopters came from far away.
Everyone looked up and saw a red and white medical rescue helicopter slowly landing on an open space near the temple.
The strong wind created by the rotor blew away the surrounding dust, and rescue workers quickly cleared a passage.
Several medical staff in orange uniforms jumped from the helicopter and ran towards the ruins pushing a stretcher.
After a while, they carefully carried out an unconscious man.
The man was pale, covered in dust, and his bright red suit was torn in many places.
Even in a coma, his unique temperament was still faintly visible.
The medical staff quickly put an oxygen mask on Tohsaka Tokiomi and checked his vital signs.
They expertly secured him to the stretcher and ran as fast as they could to the helicopter.
The helicopter door was wide open, and inside was a complete set of medical equipment.
They pushed the stretcher into the cabin and quickly connected various monitoring instruments.
As the hatch closed, the rotor began to spin faster.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the helicopter slowly took off and soon disappeared into the distant sky.
After the helicopter flew away, Chen Yu, Weber, and Matou Kariya stood at the edge of the crowd, silently watching the busy rescue scene in front of them.
Matou Kariya frowned slightly and whispered, "I didn't expect that Tōsaka Tokiomi could survive. He is really lucky."
Compared to the original story where Toosaka Tokiomi was betrayed and died by Kotomine Kirei, Toosaka Aoi went crazy.
Now the ending of the Toosaka family can be considered good.
At least Toosaka Rin still has a sane mother.
With Aoi Toosaka around, Toosaka Rin should be happier than in the original novel.
After Chen Yu made a wish and received a ton of gold falling from the sky, Chen Yu and Weber found Toshiomi Toosaka lying not far away.
Another half an hour later, Matou Kariya finally climbed to the top of the mountain with great effort.
After all, not long after Berserker disappeared, Matou Kariya discovered that Mt. Enzo was covered by fog.
In the fog, time and space were in chaos, and it was impossible to find the way up the mountain to Liudong Temple.
It only felt like a moment had passed, and when the smoke dissipated, it was daylight.
Only then did Matou Kariya stop wandering around in the mountains and climb up.
Waver lowered his voice and responded, "Not really. After all, Angra Mainyu is the embodiment of evil at this moment. After Tōsaka Tokiomi was possessed by Angra Mainyu, his brain nerves have been irreversibly polluted."
He went on to explain: "Even though Angra Mainyu is gone now, the body that is left behind is just an empty shell."
Matou Kariya showed surprise and asked, "You mean...?"
Waver nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Yes, Tousaka Tokiomi is basically a vegetable. His consciousness may never be restored. Even if his body is still alive, the former head of the Tousaka family no longer exists."
Upon hearing that Tōsaka Tokiomi had become a vegetable, a trace of relief flashed across Matou Kariya's face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Tsk, even if I become a vegetable, I can't forgive the fact that Tōsaka Tokiomi abandoned Sakura for magic!"
There was resentment in his voice and mixed emotions flashed in his eyes.
Although he was unable to stop Tōsaka Tokiomi's plan personally, seeing that Tōsaka Tokiomi, who once looked down on him and upheld the family motto of nobility and elegance, ended up like this, Matou Kariya felt very relieved.
But then he thought about how Aoi, who was gentle, beautiful, kind-hearted, a good wife and mother, and like an older sister, would always be by Tōsaka Tokiomi's bedside to take care of him.
The fire of jealousy in Matou Kariya's heart began to burn fiercely once again.
Kariya continued, "Even if he became a vegetable, Aoi would still take care of him. Pah, he got such a good deal! It's really a blessing for Tōsaka Tokiomi to marry such an excellent woman!"
As he spoke, Kariya unconsciously took a step forward, as if he wanted to rush towards the direction where Tōsaka Tokiomi was being carried away.
He regretted not punching Toshiomi Tōsaka twice when he found him unconscious.
Chen Yu noticed Yan Ye's change in mood and patted him gently on the shoulder.
He lowered his voice and said with a hint of ridicule, "There is no such thing as a young woman by the bedside of a long-term patient. Tōsaka Tokiomi looks as good as dead. Kariya, please don't take advantage of someone's misfortune when they lose their husband. It's immoral."
Hearing this, Kariya turned his head sharply, his eyes widened, and a look of surprise and excitement appeared on his face.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his voice was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal: "I understand, it can still be like this?!!"
There was a gleam in Kariya's eyes, as if he saw new hope.
His body leaned forward slightly, as if ready to take action at any time.
However, he quickly realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excitement.
Weber looked confused: "No, what do you understand?!"
After all, having been a bachelor for 19 years, even Waver, who had become relatively mature after experiencing the Holy Grail War, did not understand what Chen Yu meant by his advice.
Just then, a staff member wearing an orange rescue uniform and a white safety helmet walked over quickly.
He held a small notebook and a pen in his hand, and his eyes searched the crowd.
"Master Ryudoji! Master Ryudoji!" he called out, "Where are you?"
Weber heard the call, hesitated for a moment, then raised his arm and waved: "I'm here."
The staff saw Weber's movements and immediately walked towards him.
Under the influence of the magic of suggestion, there was no doubt in the eyes of the staff, as if Waver was the abbot of Ryudo Temple he had been looking for.
"Master," the staff member said respectfully, "the incense burner has been packed according to your request and can now be shipped. Please sign here to confirm."
Weber took the small notebook and read its contents carefully.
The paper records in detail the size, weight and packaging method of the "incense burner".
He picked up the pen and fluently wrote the words "Abbot of Liudong Temple" in the signature column.
The staff member took the book back, carefully checked the signature, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Just to confirm," he said, "you asked us to deliver the 'incense burner' to the foot of the mountain, right?"
Weber nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. He is very lucky. This is an old item. When Liudong Temple is rebuilt, we will have to take it back."
Under the influence of the magic of suggestion, the staff not only mistook Weber for the temple abbot, but also mistook the one-ton gold block for the incense burner in front of Liudong Temple.
They carefully wrapped the "incense burner" with several layers of thick burlap to prevent others from noticing anything unusual.
Several strong staff members pushed over a sturdy flatbed cart.
After building a simple bracket, use a pulley to lift the tightly wrapped "incense burner" onto a flatbed truck and then secure it firmly with a rope.
Weber was worried about his one ton of gold, so he decided to follow the transport team down the mountain in person.
He walked beside the flatbed, checking the tightness of the rope from time to time to ensure that the "incense burner" would not slip on the bumpy mountain road.
The team moved down the mountain slowly and cautiously, taking every step carefully.
Weber's heartbeat quickened with every turn of the wheels until they finally reached the bottom of the mountain safely.
There was nothing else to do on Mount Yuanzang, so Chen Yu and Matou Kariya accompanied Weber down.
When they reached the road at the foot of the mountain, they separated from Weber.
Although Weber's hypnotic suggestion magic is hard to describe, he is a magician after all, and Chen Yu is not worried about Weber's safety.
After all, he is going to become El-Melloi II. He can't let this ton of gold waste it, right?
As soon as they separated, a tall, black-haired beauty with regular features appeared, who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of Mount Yuanzang.
She was wearing a black suit, her eyes were sharp as a knife, her temperament was cold, and she looked very capable.
“Maiya?”
Chen Yu recognized Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant.
When Maiya saw Chen Yu, she walked over quickly, took out a cell phone from her suit pocket, and handed it to Chen Yu respectfully: "Kiritsugu is looking for you."
Although she didn't say much, her tone showed gratitude towards Chen Yu for saving herself and Alice.
Chen Yu did not leave a phone number for Emiya Kiritsugu. If anyone wanted to find Chen Yu, they could only wait for the end of the Holy Grail War at the foot of Mount Enzo.
Chen Yu took the phone, and Kiritsugu Emiya's tired voice came from the receiver: "Can you come to Einzbern Castle? I want someone to check on Ellie. Please."
When it comes to how to kill people, Emiya Kiritsugu is very familiar with it.
But when it comes to how to save people, I am at a loss.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Chen Yu agreed.
After he assigned Matou Kariya to return to the Matou residence first, he followed Maiya away.
Along the way, Maiya drove Chen Yu through the forest outside Fuyuki City and arrived at Einzbern Castle.
The Emiya residence, which had just been built not long ago, was reduced to ruins in the ultimate battle between Saber and Archer.
When Chen Yu took Naiyali away, Kiritsugu Emiya simply moved back to the Einzbern Castle with the unconscious Irisviel.
It can also be regarded as waste recycling.
When Chen Yu arrived, he saw Kiritsugu sitting in the dim room, still wearing the tattered and worn gray coat.
There was still some dust on the collar, obviously it had not been washed for a long time.
Emiya Kiritsugu's black hair was scattered in front of his forehead in a messy manner, and it looked like he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.
The stubble on his chin had grown a thin layer of blue, making him look even more haggard.
His eyes were hollow and lifeless, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he was not getting enough sleep.
"I fed her the magic bean you gave me. That thing is even more powerful than the 'Avalon' in Ellie's body in terms of healing. After eating it, it instantly healed the wounds on Ellie's body."
Kiritsugu said in a hoarse voice, "I checked her and she is fine, but she is unconscious. I don't know what to do now..."
Without the core of the Holy Grail, Irisviel no longer needs to bear the pressure of the servants' souls.
Emiya Kiritsugu could feel that Irisviel was in good health, but she just couldn't wake up.
After the Command Seals on his hand disappeared, Emiya Kiritsugu knew that the Holy Grail War was over.
So he quickly sent Maiya to check the situation.
During the conversation, he revealed the information that "Avalon" was hidden in Irisviel's body.
In Kiritsugu Emiya's opinion, his wife is much more important than a holy relic.
"In this distant utopia, is Avalon still inside my wife?"
Chen Yu carefully observed Alice's condition.
Irisviel had her eyes closed, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked lifeless, just like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.
The situation was so urgent that I even forgot that there was still a Saber sheath inside my wife's body.
Maybe if his wife didn't need her own Senzu beans, she wouldn't have died.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Her soul is missing, that's why she's unconscious."
Kiritsugu heard this, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes: "Is there any way to save her?"
"Yes, but I want 'Avalon'."
"Okay, I'll give it to you when Alice wakes up!"
Emiya Kiritsugu said without any hesitation.
Chen Yu took out a crystal clear bead from his pocket, emitting a soft light.
This is the bead that Nayari finally gave to Irisviel that contains part of her soul.
Although Naiyali didn't say how to use it, Chen Yu's intuition told him that he just had to let Alice swallow it.
"Let her take this." Chen Yu handed the bead to Kiritsugu.
Kiritsugu carefully took the bead, gently pried open Irisviel's lips, and placed the bead into her mouth.
As soon as the bead entered the mouth, it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Irisviel's body.
After a while, Irisviel's face gradually turned red.
Her eyelids trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
“Kiritsugu…” Irisviel called out her husband’s name weakly.
Kiritsugu held his wife's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Great, you finally woke up."
