Chapter 709 Fuyuki City regains its calm
Not only the Caster magician level Heroic Spirits can use magic.
If the heroic spirit was proficient in magic during its lifetime, it can easily use some magic using its own magic power or the master's magic power.
But except for a few, they should not have the ability to use ritual magic such as summoning magic, let alone use an extremely simple ritual to summon themselves on the Heroic Soul Seat. It should even be a bunch of data!
What's more, 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.
It's unreasonable, but it happened right before my 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.
Chasing for the reason has no effect. When Ji Xing summoned the heroic spirit body and merged with it, it was an ironclad fact that he was "invincible".
Servants are only a small part of the Heroic Spirit. It is a fact known to everyone that the Heroic Spirit's body is stronger than the Servant's state, not to mention that the other party is directly connected to the magic power of the Holy Grail. Even the power of Saber's Noble Phantasm of Liberation would be negated by an ordinary shot. Emiya Kiritsugu could not think of any way to defeat such Ji Xing.
However, after a brief period of despair, Emiya Kiritsugu still ran the last leg of the journey.
'At least, at least make a final effort, maybe only I can do it now...'
"Why are you running out now? Maybe you are the only one who can try to convince me to prevent all the evil in this world from happening... Isn't that what you think?"
The sound that suddenly echoed in his ears made Emiya Kiritsugu freeze. He slightly raised his head and looked at the figure that seemed to teleport in front of him.
This was the first time he had seen Ji Xing with his own eyes. Before that, he had only shared it from Saber's perception, adding a layer of subjective filter.
He is taller than he feels, and his gray hair shows his wisdom tempered by years. The surging faint black energy on his body and the deep purple lines on his cheeks did make Kiritsugu feel a terrifyingly deep malice, but those calm eyes were not ferocious.
It's very contradictory. This guy's thoughts will never be seen through, but I... was seen through.
"Master!" Saber, who had quietly released the command spell, quickly moved to Emiya Kiritsugu's side. She held the sword in both hands and faced Ji Xing tensely. She felt that there was still a dull pain in her neck: "Can you tell me? What happened to me? Lancer, you seem to have used the body of the King of Heroes to summon your true form?"
Lose your identity as a servant and return to being a heroic spirit? How is this possible?
"If you want to explain, you have to explain it in a long way." Ji Xing shook his head and said: "Please be concise and to the point. I have accidentally turned into a black man."
Saber: "...?"
Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath: "Compared with the violence during the previous battle, with the heroic spirit's body, you seem to be able to suppress all the evil in this world for a short time. Taking this opportunity, can you tell me the reason, Ji Xing, what you up to?"
"Sure enough, you want to 'escape' me." Ji Xing smiled: "Answer me first, Emiya Kiritsugu, you want to use the Holy Grail to save mankind so that there will no longer be disasters and suffering in the world, right?"
"……yes."
This was the first time Saber knew that a master who was not in tune with her had such ideals, and she 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 the few to save the many. There is no standard answer to the train track problem."
Ji Xing said: "I just want to ask, Emiya Kiritsugu, who are you?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was startled.
"Saving the world is not something you can just carry on your back. Before carrying something like that, you should at least have abilities that are far ahead of ordinary people, or even reach the ultimate level. How can a non-sage carry a race on his back?
Of course, it doesn’t matter if your ideals are as lofty as possible. Your experience has determined your ideals, and I can understand that, but why do you think that mankind needs 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 are facing disasters like her, or even worse than her..."
"You have misunderstood the concept. That is an individual. I am talking about human beings. The suffering of individuals does not represent the suffering of the group. It is something brought about by some undeniable bad nature of human beings.
But it is precisely these that have created miracles one after another. It is human beings who struggle to overcome the barriers of pain and break through themselves, so that the glorious names of our heroic spirits can rise to the stars. It is human beings who continue to develop and develop in the struggle, so that human beings can To be called a human being.
I am not a fan of suffering, and I even say that I will help those who are facing suffering like Sakura. But no one can deny that suffering is one of the benefits of human progress. There is only a world of happiness and perfection. , will not exist. "
No one has a deeper understanding of ‘human beings’ than Ji Xing!
Emiya Kiritsugu fell into a longer silence. He originally planned to persuade Ji Xing, but at this moment, he was shaken by Ji Xing's words.
My ideal of saving the world may be right, but because I am incompetent and think it is my duty, must I be wrong?
"Let's go back to the beginning." Ji Xing smiled and said: "In this state, you risked being killed to appear in front of me. Your determination is commendable, but 'maybe only I can convince him now', this kind of Wrong determination.
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's not like there was 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?" Gu Lan 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 is very powerful."
"Is that so? They are all very good people." Gu Lan said: "What about Sakura? How is Sakura 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, and 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 similar emotion in Tosaka Tokiomi's eyes when he looked at him.
He sighed in relief.
…
"What kind of shabby ritual is this?!"
Hyatt Hotel, from last night to now, Kenneth has uttered the same abuse 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 Einzbern's castle, Irisviel, who was lying on the bed a little weak, asked in surprise.
"Ah, that should be it. That's what the Conqueror King said as 'his wish'. You heard it, didn't you?" Emiya Kiritsugu said: "I'm not sure what the ending will be and what it will bring. Impact. Maybe as the last Master, I will be wanted?"
He looked at the remaining Command Seal on the back of his hand. The Holy Grail War was in complete chaos. It was clear that only the last Master and the last 'Servant' were left, but it was not over yet.
"Next, I may have to enter a life of escape. As he said, this is the punishment I should bear. It's just right... take this opportunity to see more of the 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 are most sorry for is Saber, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was silent: "Yes."
…
London, suburbs.
Ji Xing looked at the direction of the clock tower.
