Irisviel was helped back to Ryudouji Temple by Hisayu Maiya.

"Because the Lesser Grail within you has begun to absorb the souls of Servants, the burden on your body will become increasingly heavy. It's already quite remarkable that you've managed to hold on until now. If it weren't for Saber's scabbard within you, you would have collapsed much faster."

Li Yue, now transformed into the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu, spoke to Irisviel with concern.

"But don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I've come back this time to change this terrible history. I won't send you to your death!"

"Yes, Kiritsugu, I believe you."

Irisviel smiled happily.

"Mai, bring Alice with me. We need to remove the Lesser Grail from Alice's body. Once the Lesser Grail is removed, Alice will no longer have to worry about this issue."

"it is good!"

Hisayu Maiya also believed in the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] before her.

The three of them entered the room that Kiritsugu had prepared for them at Ryudou Temple.

The room looked very simple, with only a bed. Irisviel was helped to lie down on the bed by Hisayu Maiya.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon, Alice, you won't even feel anything."

【Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu】 gently comforted Irisviel, then drew his dagger and stabbed it directly into Irisviel's chest.

Although Irisviel still gritted her teeth in fear, she did not feel any pain.

Kiritsugu's dagger was clearly stuck in his own chest, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

The homunculi of the Einzbern family, or rather the homunculi used to participate in the Holy Grail War, are each carriers of the Lesser Grail, responsible for receiving the souls of departing Servants. Once enough souls are collected, the sacrificial ritual can be initiated, and the Lesser Grail will descend in its form. Behind the Lesser Grail is the Greater Grail located beneath Mount Enzo.

But in essence, the Greater Grail can be summoned directly without the Lesser Grail.

Therefore, Li Yue's approach was simple: he directly stripped the souls of the Servants from Irisviel's body, and then directly separated the Lesser Grail spell from Irisviel's body.

This thing, once separated, can turn Irisviel into a normal android. In the Type-Moon universe, it's not difficult for an android to live like a normal person, because as long as the android's body is fine, it can live like a normal person.

In the magic world of the Type-Moon universe, androids are just as common as clones that can be created at age 18.

Li Yue easily separated the souls of those servants, along with the spell of the Lesser Grail, from Irisviel's body.

After the separation, Irisviel immediately felt a sense of relief.

Those souls that were stripped away, having no Lesser Grail to take them in, headed directly toward the Greater Grail.

Li Yue immediately opened a private chat to notify Aizen, who was at the Greater Grail.

[Silly Guy: Godfather, the souls of the four Servants have passed away, please intercept them.]

[The guy with the super-powered hairspray: No problem, after all, I don't want any unnecessary trouble.]

If a Servant's soul enters the Greater Grail directly, the most likely outcome is that their soul will be corrupted by the evil within the Greater Grail, resulting in them appearing as a black-clad Alter Servant.

Although Li Yue could kill the Alter Servants even if they appeared, he didn't like repeating troublesome things, so he asked Aizen to help block the souls of those Servants.

Or rather, simply collecting the souls of those Servants temporarily would be a piece of cake for Aizen.

The Greater Grail doesn't need the souls of Servants to descend; it's the Lesser Grail that needs them. But now that the Lesser Grail is gone, the Greater Grail needs even less of those souls.

"Is it over? I suddenly feel so relieved."

Irisviel looked at Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit, who had put away his dagger, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yes, it's over. Alice, you no longer need to worry about dying because of the Lesser Grail."

"Great!"

Irisviel jumped out of bed with joy.

"That way, I can stay by Ilya's side forever!"

"Alright, now it's the final moment."

[Kiritsugu] stepped out of the room and arrived at the mountain gate of Ryudou Temple.

At the mountain gate, Kiritsugu Emiya had already brought Saber to the steps.

After some internal struggle, Kiritsugu Emiya did not choose to launch a sneak attack, but instead chose to engage in a direct battle with Saber!

He was willing to gamble his last hope!

227. Unfulfilled Wishes

"Saber, are you ready?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] who walked out of the room and asked Saber beside him indifferently.

"I am ready."

Saber waved her arm, unleashing a burst of magical power that transformed her into a silver-white armor, accompanied by an invisible blade, as she entered battle mode.

"It seems you are ready."

[Kiritsugu] looked at Saber, who was about to make her move, and spoke indifferently.

"That's right, I will defeat Berserker with all my might, and then I will defeat you!"

Saber pointed her sword at Kiritsugu, her face contorted with rage.

"I will absolutely not let you destroy the Greater Grail!"

"Is that so? Then please follow me."

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] turned around and walked towards the back mountain.

This situation surprised both Saber and Kiritsugu Emiya.

What do you mean? Isn't the battle about to begin?

"Kiritsugu, saber."

Irisviel also came out of the room, looking at the puzzled Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber.

"Ellie, are you okay?"

Saber looked at Irisviel with concern.

“Saber, I’m fine. I’m better than ever before.”

Irisviel smiled and shook her head.

"Alice, where is he going?"

Kiritsugu Emiya asked Irisviel with a puzzled look. When he came over, he planned to have Saber restrain Li Yue as much as possible so that he could take Irisviel away. But now Li Yue had turned her back to him and left. He could have just taken Irisviel away, but curiosity made him choose to ask her.

"He must be going to the location of the Greater Grail."

The Great Grail!

Saber was taken aback, then immediately followed Li Yue towards the back mountain. The Greater Grail was still very important to her.

"Kiritsugu, let's go too. Kiritsugu is going to end this Holy Grail War that will bring disaster."

Irisviel and Hisayu Maiya followed behind Li Yue, heading towards the back of the mountain.

Kiritsugu Emiya frowned. He didn't quite understand what Irisviel meant, but from her simple words, he could tell that there was something wrong with the Holy Grail.

However, what he cared more about was what this person impersonating him, Emiya Kiritsugu, actually wanted to do!

End the Holy Grail War? He doesn't believe it!

With doubts in mind, Kiritsugu Emiya also went to the back mountain.

A group of people set off from Ryudong Temple and arrived at the back mountain. They entered the interior of Enzang Mountain through a cave entrance that was completely undetectable to outsiders.

The cave interior, which should have been dark, appeared quite bright due to the presence of the Greater Grail spell.

"This is the Greater Grail."

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] stood at the crater-like opening of the Greater Grail, turning to look at Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu.

"The Holy Grail that you desire, used to fulfill your wishes."

"So, what's the meaning of bringing us here?"

"I simply want you to know what the Greater Grail really is."

[Kiritsugu] In front of everyone, he took off the glove on his left hand, revealing the Command Seals on the back of his hand once again.

"Is it finally time for battle?"

Saber became alert, but Kiritsugu ignored her and instead issued a command through a Command Spell.

"In the name of the Command Spell, Berserker, commit suicide!"

"What!?"

Both Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber were stunned for a moment.

Berserker, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately drew his demon sword and stabbed himself in the chest.

As a result, the only remaining Servants in the entire Holy Grail War are Assassin and Saber.

"Alright, now the only servants left are you, Saber, and the Assassin hiding outside Ryudouji Temple, but the Assassin doesn't matter anymore."

[Kiritsugu] put his gloves back on, then turned to look at the Greater Grail.

"The Greater Grail is ready to descend."

The Greater Grail seemed to sense the call of Kiritsugu, and its magical energy began to surge outward.

Having absorbed magical energy from the earth's ley lines for a full 60 years, the Greater Grail's magical power had reached a terrifying level. This sudden surge of magical energy caused everyone present to be pushed back several steps.

However, what appeared after the surge of magic was not a golden Holy Grail, but a large amount of black mud that gushed out of the outlet like a mudslide.

After the black mud fell to the ground, it immediately began to burn, just like lava, burning everything it touched in its path as it surged toward the exit.

"What...what is this!?"

Kiritsugu Emiya stared wide-eyed at the black mud surging towards him.

"This is what you wanted, the Holy Grail that can grant your wish."

[Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit] replied with a cold face.

He then stomped his feet on the ground, and a thick row of rocks suddenly rose up, blocking the emerging black mud and preventing it from overflowing.

"Kiritsugu, I'm very sorry."
