Chapter 6 Zero's Ending(1/2)
The light of destruction that penetrated the Holy Grail split the broken citizen hall into two. The upper structure was destroyed, and the roof that had lost its support fell into the auditorium like an avalanche.
Then, through the rubble fragments that looked like pillars, Kiritsugu saw the thing in the exposed night sky.
The moonlight naturally sprinkled on the ground, but the position of the moon above the sky was replaced by a black hole.
There was no magical fluctuation, and the holes that appeared silently, and even the heroic spirits who were trapped in a war of life and death were not discovered.
Not to mention that I have been in the guild hall and have never seen Kiritsugu at all times.
However, it does exist, watching silently the struggle between humans and heroes on the ground.
What exactly is that?
He could not understand the situation in front of him and was confusedly ordered the Holy Grail to destroy the Holy Grail, and he came back to his senses for the first time and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Did that thing appear because of the Holy Grail? As the Holy Grail disappeared, it began to change differently.
It was like a solidified black hole began to rotate, twisting the magic power that enveloped the entire world gathered towards it, and the next moment it gushed out.
Not only Kiritsugu, but even the archer who had always been arrogant also realized the terrifying magic vortex of the sky. The golden archer stood on the beloved sky boat and raised his head to forget his words.
Under the fearful gaze of both humans and servants, the black hole began to dissolve, and the magic burst into scattering. What was even more terrifying was the black mud flying like a waterfall from the hole.
The black black mud without any breath can only be understood by relying on vision. At the same time, anyone can recognize the ominous power contained in the black mud at a glance.
Dirty, dirty, dark, evil, greed, aggression, jealousy, despair...
When Kiritsugu was at a loss in his mind, countless evil concepts were mixed with the idea of analyzing the black mud, the black mud had already spread over the ground and spread into the sea.
The archer standing on the golden boat had already flew high, avoiding the position of the black mud.
The arrogance of the Golden Archer comes from his powerful power rather than lack of reason, let alone such a dirty thing, how can Archer tolerate himself being touched by a little bit?
"Bang--!"
Just as Archer was considering whether he should leave after the lack of the Holy Grail, the violent impact shocked the golden boat. Archer, who was shaking his balanced body, saw an unrespectful person who dared to come uninvited.
A black figure climbed up from the side, the king's carriage of the King of Gold, came from Archer's sword arrows, which were all over the other party's body. Such huge damage made Archer angry and surprised.
However, the other party dragged his body that should have died without caring, climbed onto the golden boat, and the blade and sword that penetrated the body landed on the ground composed of gold and gems, making a squeaking sound.
"Miscellaneous! Don't let me get out--!"
Amid the angry roar of the King of Gold, several weapons were automatically shot from behind him, and more weapons also appeared behind Archer.
The space on the boat surface was too small. I thought that I would accidentally be polluted by this black beast and even be able to raise my weapon to him boldly. The face of the King of Gold was as cold as ice, and the red lotus anger in my eyes was even more substantial.
"Clang—"
Berserker, who was still stiff when climbing onto the boat, suddenly burst out with a terrible speed. He waved the two swords taken from his body in his hand and blocked the weapons that were shooting at him. Then he shortened his body and almost pressed against the ground and rushed towards Archer. The two swords in his hand were thrown out at Archer in sequence.
"Damn it—!!!"
Archer took off a weapon from behind to block the flying attack, and then held another sword removed from his close berserker.
Archer snorted angrily. This was the first time he was in such a embarrassing situation in this Holy Grail War. Under the violent attack of berserker whose basic attributes were strengthened, Archer retreated step by step to the edge of the golden boat.
"call--"
The golden chains extended from the surrounding void and wrapped around berserker's body.
"drink--"
The low voice of a beast sounded from berserker's throat. The muscles in the other party's body became tighter, and even the sword arrows on his body were trembling.
"ha--!"
The sword arrow suddenly broke away from berserker's body and flew towards the chains around him. A violent explosion occurred during the metal impact.
Amid the explosion, Archer felt his body lighter, and he was pushed out of the golden boat by beserker and fell from mid-air to the sea of black mud on the ground.
Archer felt extremely hatred. He waved another chain in his hand and wrapped around berserker's body.
"Come down here-!!!"
The chain was just a section of the chain hammer that the archer picked up from his side. It was not an excellent treasure. It was not a big obstacle for the berserker with extremely high basic attributes. However, the berserker did not struggle at all, but jumped and rushed towards the archer who fell towards the black mud again.
——He is so crazy!
At this moment, an idea flashed in Archer's mind.
The heroic spirit summoned by Maki Yanye in violation of regulations actually fell into the black mud with the other party in order to defeat the enemy.
Perhaps in the berserker's crazy logic, there is no problem with this.
Deprived of the ability to think and lose the instinct to survive. The only goal is to obey the commands of its master.
The first command: defeat the enemy. The first archer to attack berserker when he appears is regarded as an enemy by him, so it must be destroyed.
——This is how berserker thinks.
The so-called seizing the Holy Grail, in his heart, was just the second order issued by the master.
Ensure survival? Beserker never understood the importance of this requirement.
——I didn’t expect that my ending would fall into the black mud with this beast.
The Archer, who has always been arrogant and free and easy, smiled helplessly for the first time.
——I really left the court in a mess.
~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standing in the box on the second floor, Kiritsugu watched the surging black waves swept away the helpless Archer. No, it was not just swept away, but he disappeared the moment he touched the black mud. Archer's body was decomposed and absorbed by the black mud in the blink of an eye, and integrated with the surging mud flow.
Then berserker, who fell into the black mud, roared and stood steadily on the ground through the black mud, but his body was still descending. He slapped the black mud, and his body decomposed in the black mud like a candle thrown into fire.
After berserker's face was stained with the splashed black mud, it became unrecognizable like a wax figure thrown into fire, and his body dissolved into a human form. His terrifying appearance made the knowledgeable magician Kiritsugu chill.
"boom--!!"
Berserker, who knew he was no longer immune, let out a desperate roar, and then an explosion occurred. A large area of black mud was splashed, and Kiritsugu had to avoid the black mud that could decompose the seven.
After escaping this disaster based on his height, Kiritsugu stared blankly at the sea of black mud, and its torrent was pouring out of buildings through the entrance of the guild hall and spreading to the surrounding blocks.
The auditorium where Kiritsugu was in was destroyed by war and beyond recognition. The entire building was first made by Archer's sword rain, and then cut left and right by the torrent of light. The roof collapsed due to the loss of the load-bearing part.
The fires that fought in the auditorium spread to all the combustible materials around it along the edge of the black mud. More houses burned from the auditorium along the streets, and the red flames illuminated the sky outside the auditorium.
However, Kiritsugu did not hear any cry for help, and he could not find any struggling figure in his sight.
Under the rampage of fire and mud, light and darkness, everything around him was destroyed in this silence.
After a while, the holes in the sky disappeared and the black mud no longer poured out. Emiya Kiritsugu escaped from the gradually collapsed citizen hall and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.
The distance from the black mud was to wake up the people who wanted to escape, and one by one fell to the road and turned charred corpses. The night sky was rendered by the grand red lotus fire, and the ground was endlessly staged with a banquet of death.
"Impossible...why did this happen?"
The man who could not believe the scene in front of him was too powerless to be able to walk anymore. He covered his head with his hands in pain.
"Is this my punishment for destroying the Holy Grail? Or is it because...this is my wish?"
Under the man who was covered with his hands and lowered his head, the man who was about to collapse showed deep despair, and his blood-filled eyes were rotating uncontrollably in unspeakable fear.
"Is this my destiny? I have to face the cruelest despair in the world!"
At the end of the most desperate, the man barely supports his body.
"No, no, it cannot be like this-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He murmured to himself, shaking his steps.
"Whatever it is, it's good? Whoever it is? Just let me know that my wish is not wrong-"
Wearing several broken places, instigated by the heat, the windbreaker covered with black stains. The desperate man wandered unsteadily on the burning street like a sleepwalker.
"Must find--"
~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the berserker exploded, Kiritsugu, who had no spiritual vision, could not see it, and a green light splashed from the black mud with the explosion.
The green light flew in the air, ignoring the obstacles of the remaining walls, floating among the ruins of war.
There were broken and collapsed buildings everywhere, burning down corpses.
Not dying in sleep, but struggling to die in the sea of fire-
This is the end of the people who are trapped in this feast of death. The sudden outbreak of disaster did not give residents much time to escape.
The air was filled with a burning odor, and twisted and curled bodies were everywhere.
In the ruins, the green light slowly floated, searching for it, and finally met a child.
A child lying on the edge of the sea of fire, a corner of the street.
Following the burning street, the child finally fell down here.
The child was now open with his unconscious eyes, looking blankly at the gloomy sky that was about to rain, and breathing desperately as he injected hot air into his lungs, and coughing violently due to inhaling dust.
After exhausting his physical strength in the end, the child gradually calmed down. He wanted to cry but had already shed tears, and was just waiting for his death.
The green light idly over the child for a few times, fell silently, and merged into the child's body, as if he was nostalgic to feel the last life of the child who was about to die.
To be continued...
