Tribute to the Demon King

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The black-red flesh mass transformed by Matou Zouyan may look huge and bloated, but it is actually surprisingly flexible.

The idea of ​​relying on Zhou Yi to drive away the black mud, and then follow behind the piece of meat was only implemented for less than half a minute before they realized what was wrong——

That piece of meat ran really fast.

Like an ebbing tide, the black mud quickly flowed somewhere.The lump of meat wrapped in black mud looks like a football kicked by someone, rolling rapidly.

"...No, I really can't catch up."

Although Zhou Yi knew very well that the last place Jiantong Zouyan wanted to go was Enzang Mountain.But with Emiya Kiritsugu and a few oil bottles, even if he took a shortcut, Zhou Yi couldn't catch up with Matou Zouken at all.

To be precise, it is the huge hollow that exists beneath Mount Enzang.

Because it was the decisive battle of the first Holy Grail War, the turning point of Matou Zouken's fate of living even if he was not a human being, and it was also the place where Justesa, the core of the Great Holy Grail, was located.

It is the place where the three people's dreams come together... and also the place where the key event happened when Maqili Zorgen became alone again and fell into despair.

It can be said... This is where Matou Zouken, who made a wrong choice in his life and made a BE in life, chose that fatal choice at that time.

Although its body has begun to collapse, the consciousness of the Holy Grail is still inside.If the 'Holy Grail' makes a wish on the polluted Holy Grail, who knows what will happen next.

There is no way.Fortunately, the black mud had begun to recede, so Zhou Yi had no choice but to let Kiritsugu and others stay in a safe place, while he himself carried Weber's collar and physically crossed the terrain.Fortunately, amidst Weber's wailing, Zhou Yi, who was advancing straight all the way, finally caught up with the huge mass of meat moving at high speed.

The curse flowing quietly around the piece of meat, like giant black pythons entangled with each other, went upstream from the foot of the mountain, destroying the burning forest and Liudong Temple in one breath, even killing Zhou Yi before him. The places where they fought with Karna were also flattened and reduced to ashes without leaving any traces.

In an instant, Enzang Mountain, which was originally full of green, has completely turned into a pitch-black naked mountain burning with raging flames.If there is no accident, even if the Holy Grail War is over, there will probably be no new plants on this land that will survive in ten or ten decades.

There is no better adjective for this scene than hell.

When Zhou Yi rushed over, Liudong Temple had already been burned to the ground.Not to mention survivors, there may not be any survivors on the entire mountain.

But unexpectedly, there was no black mud in the big hole.After entering the cave from Liudong Temple and walking to the end in one breath, Weber finally couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is--"

Even after experiencing the Holy Grail War, the scene in front of him was still too exciting for a young magician.

What appeared in front of him was a huge magic circle etched on the rock surface with a diameter of several kilometers.

"This is, what a hand..."

Webb couldn't help but marvel at this.

"This is the Great Holy Grail."

Zhou Yi, who was behind him, walked up slowly and explained in a low voice.

Zhou Yi, who reproduced the memory of Matou Zouyan, already understood what its real body was.

What constitutes the magic circle on the ground is the magic circuit that was taken out by Justesa in the ceremony and continuously expanded and multiplied from the initial radius of [-] meters.

In other words... this is Justesa's corpse.

The opened overlapping loops, intertwined layer by layer, spiraled into the center of the three-dimensional magic circle like a white spider web, but there was no one in the pre-reserved seat, and the huge black-red flesh squirmed not far away. Then, slowly approaching that seat.

Looking at the slowly wriggling huge monster in the distance, Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Even though the body has been occupied by the consciousness of the Holy Grail, and the consciousness has been burned by the curse contained in the black mud, his body still has the last wish that is instinctive and must be fulfilled no matter what.

That is, see Justissa again.

"Do you want to get her forgiveness even when you are dying... Well, it's just a matter of effort. If the last wish can't be realized, maybe it will become something strange."

Holding the last trace of pity, Zhou Yi reconnected his will with Matou Zouyan who had turned into a piece of meat and had only his last breath left.

This time, Zhou Yi didn't want to reproduce or transcribe some knowledge from it... but to arrange the memory that was just reproduced, and then re-enter it into Jiantong Zouyan.

The illusion created by Zhou Yi is absolutely perfect in terms of senses.

Because he invoked the past feelings of the recorder, no matter in terms of vision, hearing, smell, or touch, the virtual image that directly re-reflects the past feelings in the mind cannot reveal any flaws.

If there is a shortcoming... it is the source material itself, which can only be searched from the recorder's memory.

Rather than saying that this is an empty illusion, it is better to say that this is a man-made dream.This illusion is only meaningful if the subject himself does not want to wake up.

To carry out such a fine operation of memory, of course, it will not be as "easy to do" as Zhou Yi himself said.

But seeing that the monster that can easily cause huge turmoil can die here with peace of mind, instead of jumping around like a salted fish and causing trouble to others, Zhou Yi is quite satisfied with the result.

Besides, there is at least one advantage in this way—the black mud that originally spread towards the entire Fuyuki City has gathered here.Although the streets along the way and a large area of ​​trees on Enzang Mountain were burned, at least it did not spread to the residential area.

But Zhou Yi, who brought Weber into the big void, was facing a bigger problem at the moment.

After the Holy Grail sensed the remaining will of Matou Zouken and chose to end his own life instead of relying on the Great Holy Grail to continue his life, the black mud outside suddenly went crazy.

The soft soil layer of Yuanzang Mountain is simply unable to resist the erosion of black mud.Seeing that black spots have appeared on the ceiling, the black mud soaked in the soil has slowly dripped down from the top of the cave.

"It's really ugly..."

Zhou Yi murmured displeasedly, and silver-gray lines spread from Zhou Yi and Weber's body.

At this moment, a weak but still proud voice came from the corner of the cave.

"Fervor, mei sanguis." (Let's boil my blood)

The next moment, a silver-gray light suddenly lit up.
