Final Trial of Mankind

The ceiling is filled with "water", which is literally an upside-down lake with water lilies blooming in every shade of blue, red, yellow - like a rainbow-colored sky.

This is achieved through the reverse concept in the "Vanity Garden", the water will flow down to a place higher than the ceiling, and the water will fill the ceiling between the kings.

In other words, the altar and the king are connected through the water-filled ceiling, but it is not known which side actually belongs to the underground.

"Red" Caster - Shakespeare was a man who was born in an era when mysterious phenomena were no longer open to the public.

Whether it is the moment when a prayer teacher prays to the object of faith to cause a miracle, or the mysterious phenomenon that a famous magician shows in secret, almost all of them have nothing to do with him.

In his works, although prophesied witches and curses appear as a matter of course-but they are all based on Shakespeare's imagination. His imagination can be said to be endless, and he can also leap at will.

Because of this, his marvel at space should be regarded as a special case.

Of course, considering the abnormality of this sky garden and the Great Holy Grail, this is also a natural thing.

Shirou Kotomine is standing in the middle of the underground space, where the Holy Grail can be viewed from directly below.

Seeing the figures of Mu Chen and Caster, Shirou greeted them with a light wave.

"Master of Lancer, although I'm not sure if what you said is true, but let me believe you now, what I'm going to do next will make me defenseless, so I hope you can finish it before I finish it." Before making adjustments to the Great Holy Grail, don't let any Servant interfere with his homework." Shirou said to Mu Chen in a very gentle tone.

Considering Mu Chen's combat effectiveness and being a Lancer, that is, the Master of the great hero Karna, he felt that there was nothing wrong with showing Mu Chen a humble attitude, and so far, Mu Chen has not done anything. Do anything detrimental to the "red" camp.

"There is no problem with this, but I will follow my own ideas on how to do it, but I guarantee that as long as I am still standing here, I will not let your Great Holy Grail suffer any damage." Mu Chen said with confidence. The tone made its own manifesto.

"Thank you!" After thanking Muchen, Shirou turned to face Caster, "Then, Caster, my treasure is ready."

"Well, Master, my Noble Phantasm is also ready."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's Noble Phantasms - "RighthandEvilEater" and "LefthandXanaduMatrix".

"Red" Caster's Noble Phantasm——"The opening time is approaching, here is a thunderous applause (First Foilo)".

The Noble Phantasm of the two men was neither a weapon given to a hero by the gods, nor a famous horse obtained during an adventure.

Amakusa Shiro's Noble Phantasm is the materialization of the miracle bestowed on people by the boy.

"Red" Caster's Noble Phantasm is a "book" that he failed to write down during his lifetime. No matter what it is, it is just a sublimation of the legend they left behind.

It can't be used to fight against the army, and it is completely impossible to use it to fight against the city. If you consider it according to the category of Servant, these two cavalry are undoubtedly third-rate existences.

However, at this moment—only when the two Noble Phantasms intersect, all values ​​will be reversed.

If it is a holy sword or a sharp spear, it should be possible to destroy the Great Holy Grail.

However, among the Servants who can "dominate" the Great Holy Grail, there are only these two knights among the Servants participating in this Holy Grail War.

"The 'line' has been connected, because your magic power supply will also be replenished in this way."

Shirou Kotomine, as the object of the Master's supply of magic power, is actually only the "red" Assassin, and the other Servants only control the most fundamental part of himself as the Master.

In terms of mana supply, it is completely completed through the Great Holy Grail connected from the time of robbery.

This kind of connection alone took quite a lot of time. It was not a ceremony that could be completed at one time. Before the robbery, he spent many days searching for the means, and finally achieved it with the assistance of Assassin who is a Servant. The supply of magic power.

Leaving aside Einzbern, one of the three masters who cast the Great Holy Grail, Danik, who is a magician, would have to spend ten years as a unit if he wanted to intervene in the Great Holy Grail system.

However, to put it bluntly, Einzbern and Danik were not targeting the Holy Grail itself, but just adjusted the system to some extent.

In other words, they just let the Holy Grail activate functions that it didn't have, or made some improvements to the details.

In other words, it is equivalent to the ON and OFF of the switch, but the work that ShirouKotomine will do next is fundamentally different from those things.

To put it bluntly, it is to create a new switch, not to adjust the system, but to add a new system to modify the Great Holy Grail in order to cater to your own wishes.

Servants are summoned to the present world through the Great Grail, so the transformation of the Fuyuki Great Grail itself is not so much a dangerous idea as a crazy idea, even if it is fully prepared.

So for Shirou, this is the real battle.

The battles so far are just foreshadowing and preparations. Even if he loses, he still has another move to make, but this is completely different.

Once defeated, Shirou will be completely finished, and if Shirou is finished, it means that everything will return to zero-the human rescue plan will be shattered.

The reason why Shirou's hands are trembling slightly is by no means the trembling of a brave man before the battle, but the expression of his incomparable fear of the fact that "everything will be destroyed if he loses".

"—Even so, the Master still came here."

"Yes, after 60 years of thinking and worrying, I finally chose to stand here, and I have never regretted it. Then Caster, get ready—before then."

"oops?"

Shirou stretched out a hand to Caster, the Command Seal on it was shining dimly.

Caster's expression froze instantly.

"...Master?"

"Caster, I respect you as a writer from the bottom of my heart, and at the same time I trust you. Because of this, I understand one thing, that is, you will definitely want to write tragedies, so this It is a necessary act." Shirou consumed the Command Seal with a smile on his face, "I order with the Command Seal, Caster, that there must be no tragedy about me."

"Woo...!!" The consumed Command Seals bound Caster like chains.

This command spell, which can suppress not only the body, but also the spirit of the Servant, is the absolute right to execute orders woven by Majili. Tragedy creates a stronger binding force on "Red" Caster.

"Master... this kind of treatment is really too much, too cruel, really too cruel."

"Red" Caster sighed loudly - this is also a matter of course.

"No, so I've said it all. I trust you. You always like to write tragedies. But if I press you like this, you will have to lie to me. Therefore, I never asked you Questions like 'Are you going to write tragedies?' . . . because as long as you're not asked, you don't have to lie."

Despite making a low moan, "Red" Caster had to admit it, if he said he never thought of writing it, he would be lying.

Although I also have the idea of ​​​​"Don't write like this" in my heart-but once I get to that situation, the pen in my hand will naturally run wildly in the direction of tragedy. In order not to cause such a result, I can only start from From the very beginning it was decided to write a comedy.

"Red" Caster sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll accept it, since it's necessary, because 'adversity will bring the best lessons to people, it's poison as ugly as a toad, but But it will condense a precious gem in your heart'."

"Thank you, although I also know that it is too rude to do such a behavior of restricting the creative space to the leading contemporary famous writer."

"Hehe, it's really embarrassing to call me a famous author, if you can call me that after reading the book—"

"Well, I've already read the four tragedies first, and that's why I decided to use the Command Seal."

"……Is that so."

It's too bad—"Red" Caster couldn't help hugging his head, maybe he shouldn't ask him to read it... No, no, it's the duty of a writer to let others read his works.

Moreover, this young man has personally experienced the worst tragedy. Thirty-seven thousand people who admired him were massacred, and in the end even he himself died because of it.

From there, start to climb back up, and from there, start to reverse fate.

That being the case—now he has to keep climbing up, and in this case, stepping on the wrong foot or something, even if the gods allow it, the author will never allow it.

Yes, even if the author allows it, the Demon Lord who wants to see that world will not allow it.

"In order to usher in a happy ending that is by no means a tragedy, I promise that I will devote all my energy to writing it, Master."

"That would be great. . . . Then, let's begin."

"—It's too late, I'm still wondering when you guys are going to start."

Without concealing his inner dissatisfaction, "Red" Assassin chanted, and "Red" Caster also heard her voice.

Looking up at the zenith made of water, Shirou smiled and said, "Sorry—it's about to start now."

"I will abandon you in case of unavoidable circumstances, is it okay?"

It's too scary—"Red" Caster couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, without any human touch, and from any angle, he couldn't find the slightest human touch, anyway, it shouldn't be what the Servant said to the Master.

"Of course, that is necessary."

...Then, what made him feel even more frightening was Shirou's answer to this, for that unceremonious and merciless statement, he was able to answer it so crisply.

This is not because he thinks that his Servant will not do that kind of thing and he has absolute peace of mind. "Red" Assassin is by no means such a naive existence, and if it is really necessary, "Red" Assassin will still abandon him And choose to protect yourself.

The Servant who gave up the Master without hesitation, and the Master who willingly accepted such a fate——A combination like this, which side should be said to be more crazy.

"Very well, then let's start, Shirou, we must win, and we will never allow defeat."

Shirou Kotomine expressed his heartfelt thanks for this still emotionless words: "—Thank you, Assassin."

Shirou Kotomine immediately took off the bandages and cloak, and even the priest's robe, revealing the upper body, with countless knife wounds and burn marks carved on the brown skin.

【It's not so ugly, it's better to say it's a sad body】

——Caster thought to himself.

The half-naked Shirou stretched his hands into the air, opening his palms as if to claim the Great Holy Grail for himself.

Both arms were filled with a different kind of brilliance than the Command Seals emitting a dull light—Shirou Kotomine's Noble Phantasm began to activate.

"Well, let me start first."

Towards the Great Holy Grail fixed in the air, Shirou gracefully took steps. While Caster was watching his back, he suddenly saw the phantom of "staircase made of corpses".

The materials for the ladder are those victims who eventually perished because they believed in another doctrine different from the natives and followed Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to set off the rebellion.

For the fact of being trampled, the corpses did not feel sad, but had obvious joy.

They are all sincerely grateful that they can be the cornerstone of saving the world-this is an illusion!Although it should be an illusion, if the corpses of the past knew the current situation, wouldn't they give the same answer?

"Red" Caster thought so.

While taking steps towards the Zenith, towards the Great Grail, Shirou was thinking.

17 years of life, more than 60 years of Second Life.

I have dedicated everything to this day, and I have lived to this day with the awareness of sacrificing everything.

Now, I am carrying billions of goodness on my shoulders. Although it is extremely heavy and almost crushed, Shirou still does not show the slightest pain on his face.

——How can I lose.

Shirou took a step forward, and connected the Great Holy Grail along the "line" connected when the magic power was supplied——

In an instant, the world was turned upside down.

One's own existence dissolves in an instant, like the comfort of going to sleep, and it lasts forever, wrapped in something soft, sinking - deep, deep, deep.

No matter how strong the malice is, it will definitely be wiped out here.

No matter how strong the killing intent is, it will probably become impossible to kill anyone again.

The feeling formed by the fusion of happiness, peace, joy, order and purity is like sucking sweet milk all over the body.

The brain stops functioning.

Brain activity is no longer needed.

Thinking is unnecessary, and even instinct does not need to exist, so it will dissolve, dissolve and integrate with it, and finally become nothing but ordinary sweet milk——
