Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 307: Our Ancient Oath, the Wish to Save Humanity
Hephaestion's sister, a woman without a name, is Iskandar's most trusted confidant and acts as Iskandar's shadow and agent in the outside world.

In order to protect the King of Conquerors, Iskandar's mother Olympias needs a confidant who will never betray her and a magician who can defend against the curse on the King.

The former was the real Hephaestion, and the latter was her.

In order to be able to replace Iskandar on the magical level, she was not even given a name, and it was because of this that she could impersonate Iskandar in a magical sense and bear various curses on his behalf.

The various deceptions she committed to protect the king, coupled with her actions as an agent, led to her information being included in the heritage of later generations of Iskandar.

His clothing is more similar to that of Iskandar when he was a young boy.

She should have rejected Iskandar's call, but for some reason she appeared in this battle this time, fighting as her only manifestation.

When Iskandar changed his horse to Busifalas, he took over the reins of the mighty wheel.

As she was in charge of the [Gordias Wheel] during her lifetime, she is naturally able to unleash the power of this treasure.

The surging divine thunder began to roar towards Li Ye as the bull of Zeus ran.

The devastating running style of [Gordias Wheel] not only produces the effect of Zeus's lightning strike in addition to the hooves and wheels.

Its effect is an A+ level anti-military weapon!
As the divine bull roared, the long iron dragon ignored the obstruction of thousands of troops and, under Li Ye's gaze, killed the symbol of power, the divine thunder called judgment, in an instant!

After experiencing the Red Dragon subjugation campaign, Li Ye's way of dealing with this kind of lightning strikes has become much more mature. As long as he can kill, no matter how much magic power is spent, it is within acceptable range!

After the long steel dragons killed the terrifying divine thunder, they pierced through the connection between the chariot and the divine bull at an extremely fast speed, and even pierced the person who was riding the divine bull!

The activation of the Divine Wheel did not bring a decisive impact on the war situation, as the nebula that dominated the universe completely tore the world apart.

It was not the tearing that relied on the absolute heat flow, but the killing of the world.

Although the [Inherent Barrier] can be regarded as something like a small world, it is not unkillable.

While the number of people maintaining the barrier was decreasing excessively, Li Ye's attack on the ground killed piece after piece of the barrier until it was completely killed!
The world is dead.

But the battle is not over yet. Even if the King of Conquerors' strongest treasure, the embodiment of his glory and kingly way, disappears, he still exists.

Then the battle will never end, it will be a battle to the death.

Tread.

The moment the two appeared in reality, Li Ye rushed out and instantly closed the distance with Iskandar.

Facing Iskandar's body wrapped in divine thunder, he still swung out a sword!
Not only that, but gates of Holy Judgment and long iron dragons bloomed beside him. The instant Holy Judgment and Heavenly Chains restricted Iskandar's movements, making this fatal sword a reality!
"Goodbye, King of Conquerors!"

puff.

This is a story that happened in a flash, and it seems as if time has not even begun to flow.

King of Conquerors Iskandar looked at the young man in front of him and the sword that pierced his chest, smiled, and then turned into a point of light and disappeared.

This short second life ended here. Although he failed to realize his wish, he also carried out his domineering behavior throughout.

More importantly - it's fun.

“What a wonderful battle—”

Without even a moment of mourning for the death of the King of Conquerors, Li Ye immediately turned his head and looked into the distance. His suddenly spreading perception immediately spread to Ryudo Temple. The undisguised magical fluctuations of the Holy Grail were as conspicuous as a bright fire in the dark night.

This was a completely different situation from the magic of the Holy Grail that Li Ye had in mind. Even after devouring the three servants, the changes in the Holy Grail caused by the girl did not reach such a limit.

It was as if the girl had obtained some very nourishing substance after Li Ye left, which directly accelerated the awakening of Angora Mainyu.

Li Ye had no idea of ​​the reason, but he only knew that the progress of his pursuit had inexplicably accelerated.

He obviously didn't have time to do anything.

Or did Iskandar's soul flow into the Holy Grail?
After Iskandar was killed by Li Ye, Li Ye had no idea where his soul would flow to.

More importantly, Liye sensed the magical reactions of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others near the Holy Grail and Ryudo Temple.

'They want to dismantle the Greater Holy Grail!'

Li Ye's eyes were slightly cold, and he could understand the purpose of Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group without much thought.

The key to the current conflict is the Holy Grail. As long as the Holy Grail disappears, even Li Ye will have no reason to be their enemy.

Not only Fujimaru Ritsuka, Li Ye also noticed that Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel also appeared near Ryudo Temple and headed towards the large underground cave.

"Currently, there are only three servants left?"

Li Ye frowned as he spread his steel wings. Near Liudong Temple, he sensed a magical reaction that he had never seen before.

In addition to Artoria and El-Melloi II, there is a third Servant.

Is it the shadow servant summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka?
Unable to confirm this, Li Ye took off decisively and arrived at Liudong Temple in an instant at a terrifying speed several times that of Mach!

The rolling air waves came like a tsunami, causing the mountains and forests surrounding the Liudong Temple to bow their heads!
He was even unable to stop Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others. After approaching Ryudo Temple, Li Ye realized more intuitively how great the changes in the Holy Grail were.

The awakening progress of Angora Mainyu is almost complete!

Ignoring Merlin who was staying in Liudong Temple, Li Ye went straight into the large underground cave.

Tread.

Not long after, Li Ye stepped into the underground cave again and saw the back of an old man and the increasingly swollen Holy Grail.

The shadow of the devil has begun to take shape, like a dark giant.

The cursed light permeated the underground cave, corroding all intelligent life forms that entered the cave.

"Master Matou?"

Li Ye raised his eyebrows when he saw the old man and said, "You'd better explain it clearly, or I will kill you."

"Hehehe, Li Ye, don't you want to awaken Angora Mainyu?"

Matou Zouken, holding a cane, laughed and did not turn around to face Li Ye: "Then my goal is the same as yours--"

"It seems that the old man has some way to get Angola Mainyu out quickly."

Li Ye, who never relaxed his perception, glanced at the entrance behind him. A group of people led by Altria were quickly entering the large underground cave.

Following Altria were Fujimaru Ritsuka and El-Melloi II, while Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, whom Liye had noticed earlier, appeared outside Ryudo Temple.

"I have spent everything I have and dedicated all these five hundred years. All I want is to witness the result with my own eyes."

Looking at the Greater Holy Grail, Zouken Matou's dirty eyes seemed to be shining with a dim light: "The crystallization of our ancient oath has been realized today."

"Master, what can we do? They are coming soon."

Looking up at Kiritsugu Emiya trying to enter his barrier outside Ryudo Temple, Li Ye said nonchalantly: "There is no time for you to waste, or are there not enough Servants who have died?"

"Enough, enough, enough Servants have been sacrificed, the next step is--"

Zouken Matou activated a technique that he had not used for hundreds of years. As one of the founding three great families, Zouken Matou's knowledge of the Holy Grail system is unmatched.

Speeding up the progress of the Holy Grail was a piece of cake for him.

After Liye killed the fifth Servant Iskandar, the loser of the Holy Grail War had met the requirements of [Manifestation].

But Li Ye was not aware of the Hero King's defeat. He just thought that Iskandar had completed the last piece of the puzzle, allowing the Holy Grail to be opened.

The hole is opened.

A hole through which cursed light flowed opened up in the Holy Grail, and an endless stream of cursed mud gushed out, pouring down from both sides of the Holy Grail.

Since the base of the Holy Grail is now a cup-shaped stone platform, the cursed mud that poured down did not flow to the outside world, but began to accumulate in the stone platform.

Looking at this scene, Li Ye's expression did not change.

As long as Angra Mainyu is dealt with, Li Ye will be able to use the Small Holy Grail to make a real Holy Grail wish and obtain the third method.

With this thought in mind, Li Ye discovered that a figure seemed to appear in the Holy Grail.

Tread.

Crisp footsteps began to echo in the underground cave, and the figure walking out of the Holy Grail turned from virtual to real, and would completely come to this world under the watchful eyes of Li Ye and Matou Zōken.

At this moment, Artoria finally arrived at the underground cave, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and El-Melloi II, who followed closely behind, noticed the ominous Holy Grail.

"Is this the Holy Grail?"

After losing his Servant, Waver, who was no different from a bystander, looked surprised.

Kenneth beside him looked indifferent and said, "The magic rituals in the countryside are still quite interesting."

As a supposed genius, Kenneth could see many things just by looking at them.

At this moment, the Holy Grail has opened the [hole], and the curse pouring out of the hole is the culprit that destroys human history.

Although the speed is not fast, it is undoubtedly something that can shake up human history.

"It's too late!"

El-Melloi II's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said, "But it's not too late. As long as we destroy the Holy Grail—"

"Don't even think about it."

Cold words rang out from the Holy Grail.

Li Ye finally saw the appearance of the person who came.

She did not appear in the persona of a young girl, nor did she appear in the persona of Irisviel. Instead, she was the Saint of Winter who, in an ancient oath, dedicated everything for the great wish of saving mankind—Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern.

A saint with the same appearance as Irisviel, she is an artificial saint who has mastered the third law again after the third law magician disappeared.

It is a living magic circuit created to become the core of the Greater Holy Grail.

To this day, Justisa is still placed at the center of the Greater Holy Grail, and the circuit with a diameter of one kilometer is the result of the continuous expansion and proliferation of her magic circuits, just like covering the surface of a volcano.

This magic circuit, with a diameter of one kilometer and close to the Greater Holy Grail, can be said to be a small universe made up of a human body. The great ritual costume known as the [Heavenly Grail] in the Einzbern has now turned black and red on Justisa, exuding an evil and charming aura.

Large areas of snow-white skin were exposed, looking particularly charming against the black and red dress.

At the end of the manifestation, Angramainu chose Justisa's consciousness remaining in the Holy Grail as the shell in which to carry out his activities.

This is understandable. Now that both of the two small holy grails are still alive, there are no extra personalities inside the holy grail for Angora Mainyu to choose from.

But the moment Justisa appeared, Li Ye finally realized that something was wrong.

The presence of the Holy Grail in this link is too weak.

Is it because he's still alive?

Not only that, the moment he saw Justisa, Li Ye's perception, which had never been restrained, noticed the magical reaction of the fourth Servant.

Pure darkness permeated the city of Fuyuki.

And at the moment when Li Ye was distracted——

“Ohhhh… Ohhhhh!!! Justisa, Heaven’s Grail… What a beautiful figure…”

Five hundred years of persistence and the long years have long since wiped out the long-cherished wish in Matou Zouken's heart. The decayed body and soul have obscured that shining wish.

The desire to save humanity can be considered true justice in any era.

The former righteous companions turned into ugly monsters after a long time.

Today, in this final time, Matou Zouken once again saw the saint who sacrificed hundreds of years ago - Justisa.

Holy Maiden of Winter - Justisa, can our ancient vow finally be fulfilled today?
When he saw Justisa, did Matou Zouken see the figure of a saint, or the self he could be proud of hundreds of years ago?

"Ahhh, I see, I see. Am I just missing your face?"

The decayed soul can no longer distinguish what the symbol of longing in the heart is, the consciousness begins to become confused, and it is unable to truly understand its own existence.

The saint noticed the old man and Li Ye at the first moment, and immediately gave a creepy smile: "How foolish my enemy is, but enough, your mission has ended, die with your ideal dream that has never been realized!"

The shadow suddenly spread and attacked Li Ye and Matou Zouken.

Li Ye, who dodged in time, watched Matou Zouken being eaten alive, his expression did not change at all.

Five hundred years of persistence ended like this. I don’t know whether it is painful or happy.

When Altria and others saw this scene, they were all shocked.

Artoria, who was already amazed by Justissa's face, and Ritsuka Fujimaru and El-Melloi II, who were moved by the Greater Holy Grail, became extremely solemn.

"Justisa, no, Angra Mainyu."

Li Ye, who was facing the Saint, finally showed a wave of expectation in his eyes: "I want to kill you and get the third method."

Tread.

Before he finished speaking, Li Ye started moving.

"Oh oh? How dare you say such arrogant words.

I am the Grail of Heaven, the embodiment of the Third Law that can eradicate all evil to its root."

With a crazy look on her face, Yustisa stared at Li Ye intently, and even ignored Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.

Li Ye's years-long research on the Greater Holy Grail can be said to be a study of Justisa's body, as well as the creation of the Lesser Holy Grail, which is related to Angra Mainyu's actions.

As a result, both Justisa and Angora Mainyu noticed Li Ye's existence, not to mention Angora Mainyu who was now wearing the personality of Justisa.

She knew very well how high the nutritional value of Li Ye was——

"Come! Give your soul, your life!
Devour everything you have and fulfill my thousand-year vow!"

A surge of magic power suddenly erupted. After absorbing the magic power transformed from the souls of the five servants and even Gilgamesh and other characters, the amount of magic power that Justissa could use was terrifying!
The rolling black mud turned into her attack, pouring towards Li Ye.

The black shadow that swallowed Matou Zouken quickly spread to Li Ye's body, trying to swallow Li Ye in the same way as before!
This sudden battle caused Artoria to fly directly to Li Ye and swing the holy sword towards Justisa!

hum.

The atmosphere was rippled, and El-Melloi II, almost in sync with Artoria, decisively used magic to cast buff magic on Artoria, such as improving her status.

This makes Altria, who is already in excellent condition, even better!

But now Li Ye would never give up any chance. He suddenly grabbed Altria's arm and pulled it hard.

He actually pulled Altria away from him, and shouted, "If you interfere with this battle, I will use the light belt to bombard this place!"

No one can live!
Upon hearing this, Artoria, who was already extremely afraid of the light bands, immediately stopped and stared at Li Ye and Justisa vigilantly.

And at the moment when Altria retreated, Li Ye closed the distance between him and Justisa, and the fake holy sword in his hand instantly cut off the shadow on the ground and the curse that was coming.

Kill it completely!
Li Ye's gem-like eyes were fixed on Justisa and the opened [hole].

The curse that flows from the void is the embodiment of all the evil in this world, an existence that flows from the inside of the Holy Grail.

In other words, the hole is the inside of the Holy Grail that Li Ye has been trying to reach.

As long as Li Ye can successfully kill all the evil in this world, the Holy Grail should be able to be purified.

Although all the evil in this world is conceptual, there should be an end to destruction.

As long as there is the concept of death, there is nothing that is indestructible.

Li Ye is fully confident that he can kill the evil intelligence that has polluted the Holy Grail and return it to a colorless, pure cup.

But now, it is impossible for Justisa to stop Li Ye's actions.

hum.

The sword swung out with unrivaled force surpassed Yustisa's reaction. Li Ye, who was not in the Fuyuki Holy Grail system, was definitely not someone she could fight against.

Facing Justisa, who has an absolute advantage over the Heroic Spirits under the Fuyuki Holy Grail system, Li Ye is just an ordinary magician with huge magic power.

Similarly, even so, Li Ye would not show the slightest contempt.

He will use all his strength to kill Justisa!

As his goal of several years and the last obstacle, Li Ye cannot allow even the slightest risk!

Kill the curse, kill the magic, kill everything that stands in your way.

All obstacles were completely killed. At this point, there was no obstacle of any form of force or defense between Li Ye and Yustisa.

His cold eyes reflected the brilliance of the gems, as if he wanted to engrave the saint in front of him firmly in his eyes.

As the death information emerged, in that instant, Li Ye loosened the restraints of his consciousness.

Go deeper, deeper, and deeper into consciousness without stopping.

Abandon your own existence and see the deeper death and more metaphysical existence.

It is not about killing the body or the spirit, but about killing the evil.

Kill the malicious intelligence that has infected the colorless power of the Holy Grail. Only then can the Holy Grail return to normal.

Can I do it myself?
Li Ye's most powerful sword at the moment only killed the Three Goddesses Covenant of Quetzalcoatl, penetrated into its divinity, and severed the covenant.

Now he has to kill all the evil in this world that has merged with the colorless power. Li Ye doesn't even have a clear understanding of this abstract concept.

At present, all of Li Ye’s understanding of the evil in this world is based on the black mud transformed from the curse, which is very superficial.

Despite this, Li Ye would not stop.

Victory or defeat depends on this one move!
When the first moment passed, Li Ye seemed to see a different route to death, or a different spot of light of death.

"It's Angra Mainyu, right?"

With sharp eyes, Li Ye stared at the light spot in the center of Yustisa's chest and swung the sword in his hand.

Nothing is left uncut, nothing is left uncut!
The cold sword blade cut straight through Justisa's body and sank into the line of death, bringing eternal extinction to the new body.

"this--"

It seemed that he had not anticipated that he would be defeated so quickly. He had seen Li Ye fighting with other heroes for such a long time, so how could he lose so quickly?
When the outer garment of personality is cut off, what is exposed is the most original existence——

Gulu, Gulu.

As Justisa's body began to disintegrate, a black wave erupted.

The black wave that burst out from the hole on the Holy Grail instantly covered the underground hole. During this time, Altria, who sensed the danger, evacuated the underground hole at a faster speed with Fujimaru Ritsuka, El-Melloi II, Weber Kenneth and others.

Only Li Ye was left to face the curse of all mankind, and -

"You didn't kill Justisa, you just broke the shell of Justisa?!"

Seeing this strange phenomenon happen, Li Ye immediately understood what was going on.

He still was unable to see the death of Angora Mainyu, and only killed Justisa's last consciousness, which also caused Angora Mainyu to lose the cloak of personality.

The wave submerged Li Ye, and the pervasive vicious intelligence tried to erode Li Ye's soul, heart, and body.

What is called all the evil in this world is completely exposed to this world!
After just a few breaths, water gushed out of the huge underground cavity and roared towards the city of Fuyuki and the distant ocean!

The flames were burning, staining the already dark sky with the colors of blood and iron.

Only the Ryudo Temple, which was still on a high point, was not submerged by the cursed tide. It would be better to say that the area where the Ryudo Temple was located was the starting point of the tide.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was still trying to break through the barrier set by Liye, immediately noticed the changes happening at the foot of the mountain. It was a doomsday scene that he absolutely did not want to see.

Similarly, Merlin, who was in Ryudo Temple, looked at the guest in front of him helplessly and said with a smile: "Guardian of Inhibition, why don't you move somewhere else? What you are doing here is actually meaningless."
