Chapter 709: Fuyuki City Returns to Peace
It is not only the Caster magician-level Heroic Spirits that can use magic.
If the Heroic Spirits were proficient in magic during their lifetime, they could use their own magic power and the magic power of their masters to perform some magic.
But except for a few, they should not have the ability to use ritual magic such as summoning magic, not to mention using a ritual that is so simple that it cannot be any simpler to summon themselves on the Heroic Spirit Seat. That should even be a bunch of data!
Moreover, whether it is the "real" Tong Yuan or Ji Xing who is named Tong Yuan, there must be no trace of magic in the legend.
None of it makes sense, but it all happened before our eyes. From the very beginning of the Holy Grail War, Lancer Ji Xing showed something unusual, and at this moment, this unusualness was magnified countless times.
It is no use to pursue the cause. When Ji Xing summoned the Heroic Spirit's body and merged with it, "unmatched" was already an ironclad fact.
Servants are only a small part of Heroic Spirits. It is a well-known fact that the main body of a Heroic Spirit is stronger than the Servant state, not to mention that the opponent is directly connected to the magic of the Holy Grail. Even the power of Saber's release of the Noble Phantasm can be offset by an ordinary shot. Emiya Kiritsugu can't think of any way to defeat such Ji Xing.
However, after a brief defeat, Emiya Kiritsugu still ran the last section of the journey.
'At least, at least make a final effort. Now maybe only I can...'
"Why are you running out at this time? Now maybe only you can try to convince me to stop the advent of all the evil in this world... You don't think so, do you?"
The voice that suddenly echoed in his ears made Emiya Kiritsugu freeze. He raised his head slightly and looked at the figure that seemed to appear in front of him as if he had teleported.
This was the first time he saw Ji Xing in person. Before, at most, he only shared it through Saber's perception, with an extra layer of subjective filter.
Taller than he felt, the gray hair showed the wisdom from the years of tempering. The faint black energy surging on his body and the deep purple lines on his cheeks did make Kiritsugu feel a deep and terrifying malice, but those calm eyes were not ferocious.
Very contradictory, a guy whose thoughts can never be seen through, but I... was seen through.
"Master!" Saber, whose Command Spell had been quietly released, quickly moved to the side of Emiya Kiritsugu, holding the sword in both hands, her body tensely facing Ji Xing, feeling a dull pain in her neck: "Can you tell me what happened? Lancer, you seem to have summoned your body with the body of the King of Heroes?"
Shedding the identity of a Servant and returning to a Heroic Spirit? How is this possible?
"It would take a long time to explain." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "Let me be brief. I have accidentally turned 'black' now."
Saber: "......?"
Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath: "Compared to the previous violent battle, you seem to be able to temporarily suppress all the evil in this world with the 'body' of the Heroic Spirit. Taking this opportunity, can you tell me the reason, Ji Xing, what do you want to do?"
"As expected, you want to 'talk' me." Ji Xing smiled: "You answer me first, Emiya Kiritsugu, you want to use the Holy Grail to save mankind and make the world no longer have disasters and sufferings, right?"
"...Yes."
It was the first time that Saber knew that her uncoordinated master actually had such an ideal, and looked over in surprise.
"I will not make any judgment on this lofty ideal, nor will I interfere with your way of thinking of sacrificing a few to save the majority. There is no standard answer to the train track problem."
Jixing said: "I just want to ask, Emiya Kiritsugu, who do you think you are?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned.
"You can't just carry a grand goal like saving the world. Before you carry that kind of thing, you should at least have abilities that are far ahead of ordinary people, or even reach the extreme. If you are not a saint, how can you carry the race?
Of course, it doesn't matter if your ideal is as far-reaching as possible. Your experience determines your ideal, and I can understand it, but why do you think that humans need to be saved?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a few seconds: "Didn't you save Matou Sakura? There are too many people in this world who face disasters and misfortunes like her, or even worse than her..."
"You got the wrong concept. That's a person, I'm talking about humanity. The suffering of an individual is not a problem. Disaster does not represent the pain of the group, it is something that is brought about by some bad nature of human beings that cannot be denied.
But it is precisely these that have created one miracle after another. It is because human beings struggle to overcome the barriers of pain and break through themselves that the glorious names of the heroic spirits like us can rise to the starry sky. It is because human beings continue to develop and develop in the struggle that human beings can be called human beings.
I do not pursue suffering and disasters. I even say that if I encounter someone who is facing suffering and disasters like Sakura, I will lend a hand, but no one can deny that suffering and disasters are one of the benefits of human progress. There will be no world with only happiness and perfection. "
For the understanding of "human beings", no one will be more profound than Ji Xing!
Emiya Kiritsugu fell into a longer silence. He was going to persuade Ji Xing, but at this moment, he was shaken by Ji Xing's words.
The ideal of saving the world may be right, but I am incompetent and think it is my responsibility. Is it wrong?
"Let's go back to the beginning. "Ji Xing smiled and said: "In this state, you appear in front of me at the risk of being killed. Your determination is commendable, but "Maybe I can only convince him now", this determination is wrong.
You are not that important. I cannot destroy the world without you. The world is countless times wider than you think, and you are very small. "
I can't do anything. That's why I place my ideals on the Holy Grail, but still... can't do anything?
"To answer your question again, you asked me if I am less affected by all the evil in this world after I have completely come down from the Heroic Soul Seat. I am not as violent as I was during the battle just now. I also misunderstood."
Ji Xing added: "The reason I was violent during the battle was because I was anxious. All the evil in this world was frantically trying to escape from my body at that time, but now it can't escape at all."
Emiya Kiritsugu looked up in shock.
The so-called "all the evil in this world" sounds very bluffing, but in fact it is just a god who has not yet been fully born. In terms of rank, its influence is at best the level of influence that a divine hunter would have when he transformed into a cultivator.
Pollution Ji Xing? Not even close! It can only be used as a control switch for 'blackening'.
The heroic spirit that makes all the evil in this world want to escape, no, maybe it is something else? Emiya Kiritsugu felt like a giant was beating a drum in his heart, and a bitter smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I... am really a selfish human being."
"Then because of the bomb you planted, I'm going to punish you now. Do you accept it?" Ji Xing asked.
Saber's expression changed slightly, and Emiya Kiritsugu responded calmly: "I accept it!"
"Let Saber return, and then I will transfer it from Kenneth to you. You will be my master and take the blame. If Kenneth takes all the blame, I will feel a little guilty."
Blame? Emiya Kiritsugu's brain was working rapidly at this moment, and the voice of the Conquering King echoed in his mind. He finally understood what Ji Xing wanted to do.
"okay, I get it."
"Master..."
Two minutes later, Kenneth, who was still walking, suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand. He lowered his head in shock and watched the two Command Seals disappear.
"……ah?!"
…
The next day, morning.
"At 11 o'clock last night, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred near Weiyuanchuan River in our city, causing..."
At the Gulan couple's house, the news on TV was still being broadcast, but an old couple was in no mood to pay attention. They reluctantly said goodbye to their grandson Weber, who had packed his bags, and walked out of the door.
After asking his wife to go home, Old Man Gulan walked Weber a few more steps and sighed: "Overnight, the lively house will become just the two of us again. Weber, please come back more often."
Weber couldn't hide his haggard and sad expression, and answered perfunctorily: "Yes."
"It doesn't look like it was caused by an earthquake in Weiyuanchuan River." Gu Lan suddenly said: "Does that have anything to do with you? Weber?"
Weber was startled and looked at the old man in astonishment.
"How are Mr. Alex and Mr. Ji Xing doing?" Gulan asked with a smile.
"you……"
"There are so many wonderful and unknown things in this world." Gulan sighed with emotion: "You are not my grandson, Weber."
"……sorry."
"No need to apologize. Although I was angry about it at first, Martha... is very happy these days. But in the future, can you please come and see the two of us more, Weber?"
"...I will." This time Weber promised more firmly, remained silent, and then answered the question: "Alex...left for the time being, Ji Xing...I don't know, but that person will be fine." Yes, he’s great.”
"Is that so? They are all very good people." Gulan said: "What about Xiaoying? How is Xiaoying who was picked up by her uncle?"
"She...should be fine."
…
The Tohsaka family residence.
Tokiomi Tokiomi, Tokiomi Tokiomi, and Tokiomi Tokiomi, and Tokiomi Tokiomi, and Tokiomi Tokiomi, all stood outside the gate, frequently looking in one direction. Their eagerness could not be concealed. Even Tokiomi Tokiomi was no longer as calm as usual.
Until two figures appeared there.
Matou Kariya held Matou Sakura's hand without any joy. When he saw the three of them, he stopped in his tracks. Matou Sakura's little face was even more flinching, and she hid her emotions in a bamboo hat.
The bamboo hat was very eye-catching, so big that it almost completely covered her face, but it gave her a lot of courage at this time.
"Sakura!!" When Tohsaka Rin shouted and ran over, Sakura's eyes turned red in an instant.
Tokiomi Tokiomi and Aoi Tosaka were also running towards this side. Among them, Aoi Tosaka spoke from a distance: "Kariya, thank you for bringing Sakura..."
There was a strong sense of guilt in that voice, as well as a hint of bewilderment. What surprised Matou Kariya even more was that he actually saw a trace of similar emotions in Tosaka Tokiomi's eyes when he looked at him.
He sighed in relief.
…
"What kind of shabby ritual is this?!"
Hyatt Regency Hotel, from last night to now, Kenneth has uttered the same curse several times.
What happened? Why did Tong Yuan suddenly disappear and be killed? So who is the winner of the Holy Grail War? !
Inexplicable followers, inexplicable experiences, inexplicable endings!
Damn it! My majestic Lord El-Melloi has done nothing but kill a cheating priest and use a magic uniform pistol to deliver a fatal blow that is not in line with my reputation! Did you come to this remote town for vacation? !
"Okay, Kenneth." The impatient voice naturally came from his fiancée Sola, who didn't even call her by her nickname: "Let's go back, I can't stand the air here anymore."
Kenneth was silent and packed his bags.
Okay, go back to the Clock Tower, what a bullshit little place for magic exchange, I will never come again!
……
"He's going to attack the clock tower?"
In the castle of Einzbern, Irisviel, who was lying on the bed a little weak, asked in surprise.
"Ah, that should be the case. That was the 'wish' the King of Conquerors said. You heard it, didn't you?" Emiya Kiritsugu said, "I'm not sure what the ending will be, and what impact it will bring. Maybe as the last Master, I will be wanted?"
He looked at the only remaining Command Seal on the back of his hand. The Holy Grail War was completely messed up. There was only the last Master and the last 'Servant' left, but it had not yet been declared over.
"Next, I may have to live on the run. As he said, this is the punishment I should bear. It's just right... I'll take this opportunity to see more of this world, but I may not be able to accompany you and Illya, I'm sorry."
Irisviel forced a smile: "It doesn't matter. I seem to have saved my life because of him and can live a few more years, right? And the one we feel most sorry for is Saber, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was silent: "Yeah."
……
London, suburbs.
Ji Xing looked at the direction of the clock tower from afar.
