Tribute to the Demon King

As long as he still remembers this night, then he must be able to recall himself at this moment.Recalling this young self who was fearless, did not understand sadness, and was full of longing.

This is also—the redemption that Kiritsugu, who lost himself at some point and faded a little bit over the years, hoped for.

Two lines of tears of happiness flowed down slowly from Kiritsugu's cheeks.

"Archer... No, Shirou. I can call you that... Please forget the ignorant things I told you before. Please forget the ignorant things I told you before. "

"Ah? Ah... what did you say, I have already forgotten."

Startled for a moment, Archer paused, turned his eyes away and replied nonchalantly.

To Archer who was standing beside him, Kiritsugu said softly, "Shirou, you did a great job. Even...don't give up."

It was as if all the wounds in my heart had healed.

This man who had accomplished nothing in his life and never won any victories showed a gentle and plain smile.

"—Because you are a partner of justice."

And... my proudest, son.

Author's message:

...I coded half of it to find the feeling and went back to re-watch the next few episodes of FZ and UBW, but I accidentally watched it along with it, and it was a bit more after reading it...But I still feel that I can't avoid it after writing it several times The plot written by Ruan Ruan...Suddenly I feel so stupid (Lying)

It coincides with Double Eleven, let me take a rest for a day to adjust my state... It will be better to continue to recover tomorrow (chest out)

Finally, everyone, Happy Double Eleven, look up and look at the number of chapters... I wish you all have today every year (positive color)

Chapter 110 [-] I sincerely advise you to vote quickly

As soon as Kiritsugu's words fell, the world in front of him instantly collapsed.

The sky and the ground were invaded by gray spider webs, the color and weight were instantly deprived, and the environment embedded in Kiritsugu's deep spirit was instantly terminated.

When Kiritsugu woke up from the illusion, he realized that he was still standing in the center of the original crossroads.With his right hand holding the Contender, which hadn't been pulled yet, he stood amidst the slowly flowing black sludge that had lost power.

Beside him, Tosaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Risei, and Matou Zouken who thought he had escaped before, all lost consciousness and fell unconscious on the ground.

There were only three people present with clear consciousness——Darius, Karna, and Weber Velvet whose body was covered with silver-gray spider webs.

Needless to say, Darius was able to invade Kiritsugu's consciousness and control the illusion created by the will of the Holy Grail.It is also expected that Karna, who has enough to beat almost all damage and curses, has not been affected.

But to Kiritsugu's surprise, that young magician who looked quite weak also remained sober.

The silver-gray lines on Weber Velvet's body faintly glowed, and he was at a loss when he was submerged in the black mud.

I see.If Darius helped him block the curse, it would be understandable... He does have this ability.The Master of the violating Heroic Spirit should also be Darius.

But... why did Darius participate in this Holy Grail War?

"The Holy Grail... yes, it means nothing to me now."

Facing Kiritsugu's doubts, Zhou Yi answered straightforwardly.

From the very beginning, Zhou Yi knew that the Holy Grail could never fulfill his true wish.

"However, I still don't want to hand over the Holy Grail to you. I will not allow you to destroy the Holy Grail."

Lips moved slightly, Zhou Yi smiled and said words that surprised Kiritsugu.

"……why?"

Kiritsugu suddenly raised his head, and looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief: "This Holy Grail is not a miracle that can bring happiness at all! You should know that, it can't fulfill any wishes at all..."

"Of course I know."

Zhou Yi nodded happily, and admitted Kiritsugu's words.

"If you have an impression of the third Holy Grail War, you should know that the Holy Grail War has undergone a fundamental and decisive change since then. It is not something like 'the rules have changed', but It is the Great Holy Grail itself that has been mutated, polluted, and completely distorted."

Connecting his magic power to this land, Zhou Yi got the support of the spiritual veins in this land, and at the same time, the history of this land was also poured into Zhou Yi's mind.

Smoothly, Zhou Yi told Kiritsugu the knowledge that came to his mind in one breath: "Although the current Holy Grail still has the function of fulfilling the wish of the victor, the way of realization is full of endless malice. For example Said that if you wish to become the tallest person in the world, the Holy Grail will kill all the people taller than you."

"...In that case, you still want to get the Holy Grail?"

Kiritsugu felt deeply unreasonable about this: "Could it be that you want to destroy the world?"

"Of course not," Zhou Yi just smiled gently, "I love this world more than anyone else in this world. However, the Holy Grail can only be mine. Because I am the king, no matter what I want to use Whether the Holy Grail fulfills my wish or destroys the Holy Grail with my own hands - no matter what I choose in the end, you have no right to interfere. You can speak, but you cannot force... The final decision rests with me, which is very important."

"Indeed. That's what he is."

Karna on the side suddenly said, "Give up, Archer's Master, that guy is the Demon King."

"The devil...?"

"Exactly. Delineate the country, declare the kingship, extract everything and then protect it in turn... Even if he is called a demon king, it is not an exaggeration."

Karna said in a low voice.

Staring at Zhou Yi closely, his eyes gradually ignited a strong fighting spirit.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at him, then at Zhou Yi, and suddenly understood something.Subconsciously, he cast his gaze on the back of Zhou Yi's hand.

Unexpected.

Nothing at all.
