Magical Comic Travel

"I knew you would definitely come to accompany me. I believe that if it were you, you would definitely be able to get here."

"Eri—" A nostalgic friendly face.But something else made him feel a little wrong.

Maybe it was because she was wearing a black dress that she had never seen before, and although that was one of the reasons, Kiritsugu still felt like he had overlooked something important.

By the way, what happened to Saber?What happened to the remaining three groups of enemies?What about Kotomine Kirei?So many questions, what should I ask?

Kiritsugu had no choice but to ask the question he wanted to ask at first. "Here is—where?"

"This is the place where your wishes can come true. The inside of the Holy Grail you're after." Irisviel replied with a smile.

Kiritsugu was at a loss for words, and turned his head to look around.The black soil rolling with waves like the sea.There are mountains of dead bodies everywhere, and they are gradually sinking into the sea.The sky is red, as red as blood.In the black mud rain, the dark sun dominates the sky.

Wind is curse and lamentation.If any words are used as a metaphor, here—where is it if it’s not hell?

"You said... this is the Holy Grail?"

"Yeah, but don't be afraid. It's just something like an unformed dream. Now it's waiting to be born. Look there."

Alice Viel pointed to the sky.The black vortex in the sky was mistaken by Kiritsugu for the sun at first.There is the center of the world, a 'hole' in the sky.The unfathomable darkness inside, the density seems to be able to crush everything.

"That is the Holy Grail. Although it has no form yet, the container is already filled. Then it is only necessary to pray. According to the entrusted wishes, it can change the corresponding shape. Then it can acquire the posture and shape of the world, and then Can appear 'outside'."

"Okay, pray quickly. Give it a 'stance' quickly. Only you are worthy to define its shape. Kiritsugu, pray to the Holy Grail."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say a word, just staring at that terrifying 'hole'.

"Who are you?" Kiritsugu suppressed the fear in his heart with anger, and asked his wife in front of him.

"If the preparations for the Holy Grail have been completed, it means that Irisviel is dead. Then, who are you?"

"I am Irisviel. You can think so."

Kiritsugu raised the magic spear in his right hand - the contender aimed his gun at the person in front of him.

"Don't fool me, answer quickly!"

Facing the muzzle full of murderous intent, the woman in the black dress smiled a little lonely, as if expressing pity to Kiritsugu who "pressed" the truth.

"Yes, I don't deny that this is just a mask. If I don't borrow a 'body' that already has a personality, I can't communicate with others. I just pretend to be like this to convey my wishes. However, what I have Irisviel's personality is genuine. Before she disappeared, I was the last person to have contact with her. So I inherited Irisviel's last wish. She wanted me to be her 'original' Appear."

After hearing this, Kiritsugu understood through intuition.This place is called the 'Inside of the Holy Grail', so the person in front of me who claims to be 'someone who is nobody' should be——

"Are you the consciousness of the Holy Grail?"

"Well, this explanation is correct." With Irisviel's body, it nodded in agreement.

But this time, Kiritsugu frowned suspiciously. "Impossible. The Holy Grail is just pure 'power'. It is impossible for it to have any consciousness at all."

"Maybe it was like this before, but it's different now. I have consciousness and desire. My wish is 'hope to be born into this world'."

"how is this possible?"

"Since you said conscious, let me ask you, how will the Holy Grail fulfill my wish?"

As if encountering a problem, Irisviel tilted her head slightly.

"This question—Kiritsugu, you should understand better than anyone else, don't you?"

"What did you say?"

"Your existence as a human being is already infinitely close to the Holy Grail. Therefore, even if you communicate with me like this, you can still maintain rationality. If you were an ordinary human being, you would collapse when you were touched by the mud. "

Irisviel spoke cheerfully and happily.For some reason, her smile caused Kiritsugu's heart to stir.

"Didn't you know the way to save the world a long time ago. So I will inherit your practice and fulfill your wishes as you have always done."

"What are you--what are you talking about?" Kiritsugu couldn't understand.

"Answer me, what is the purpose of the Holy Grail? If that thing comes to this world, what will happen?"

Regarding each other's irrelevant answers, Irisviel sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "There is no way. Then, the only thing left for you to ask is your own heart."

The white and soft palm covered Kiritsugu's eyes.

………………

"Saber, this battle is just the two of us."

"Hope, I didn't expect that my opponent would be you. To be honest, I don't have much confidence that I can defeat you, but I can't just admit defeat like this."

"Then come on, Saber, use the sword in your hand to decide the outcome. Wings of the Storm!"

"Okay, let's use the sword to decide the outcome! Ha!"

"Bang!" The collision of sword and sword played a moving movement.

"Continue, Saber! Hades God Flow - Sword Dance Memorial."

So strong, you can't fight hard. Saber thought in her heart, the movements of her hands were not slow, she didn't confront Mu Hantian head-on, but blocked with all her strength.but……

"Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Saber with Command Seal—"

The deep words shook Saber's body from the depths of her soul.This voice, which was so familiar that it could no longer be familiar, announced clearly and resolutely.

"Use the Noble Phantasm, destroy the Holy Grail—"

How should I explain the meaning of this sentence, how should I understand it, Saber's mind suddenly went blank.
