Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

The interplay of light eventually transformed into a dazzling shooting star.

As if darkness had silently filled the night, as if it were the natural order of things, the space within its reach was filled with scattered, surging light.

Rin Tohsaka: "The temple has been breached from the inside!"

Zabi: "Stop the Sun King?"

Koles: "So powerful—is this the Noble Phantasm of the great hero Arash?!"

Fiore: "Even with the power of three Command Seals, this power is still amazing."

Fiore: "Chiron, his Noble Phantasm seems to be stronger than yours."

Chiron: "Yes... Arash, he's a powerful Archer."

Kurogiri Senka: "This is the kind of Noble Phantasm Archer should have."

Waver: "Is 'A Single Meteor' a Noble Phantasm evolved from the legend of Arash stopping a war with a single arrow? If so..."

Mordred: "It seems the King of Men has activated his Noble Phantasm too... Damn it! Was it completely obscured by that guy's radiance? I couldn't even hear a sound!"

Lancelot: "It feels different from the King's Noble Phantasm, but they are both holy swords, right?"

Scattered and rippling, it relentlessly devoured everything in its path.

The absolute power that descended should have been devastating.

The evidence for this is the completely melted outer wall of divine iron, the shattered throne, and the disintegrating giant electric sphere.

However, the scorching heat did not arrive at the same time.

The god-king Ozymandias possessed only his "radiance."

There was no surprise, nor any anxiety.

Whether it's the power of the sun, the majesty of the gods, or the manifestation of the mind of the God-King.

[That much is something that can never be achieved, Pharaoh already knew in the distant past.]

"I have witnessed it before. Something just as dazzling as this scene."

"My friend, my brother, on the day you left me, that thing that divided the reed sea, undoubtedly formed of starlight."

The sound was filled with mixed emotions.

[Recalling the faces of friends with whom I grew up and shared laughter.]

[Recalling the images of enemies who had severed all ties and were now locked in a bitter struggle.]

"Is that so? So you who are here now—are you the ones who will save the world in my place?"

The main temple has collapsed.

[A colossal structure of illustrious renown, shattered from within by light and heat.]

The formidable barrier, stretching over two kilometers in length, vanished in an instant.

Sieg: "Didn't expect my exit to be like this..."

Afu: "It feels a bit hasty."

Charlemagne: "No, the Sun King had already anticipated his fate, and he chose to accept it calmly."

Rin Tohsaka: "I initially thought this guy was another Gilgamesh, but now it seems he's much better than Gilgamesh."

King of Heroes: "Ah! You mongrel, are you provoking me?!"

Zabizi: "Alright, alright, you two should stop this now. Don't fight all the time."

"Wow, that's amazing! Assassin, look!"

【"yes."】

"Heh, the light of the Holy Sword is so beautiful, so dazzling, even though something else has gotten mixed in."

[Sajō Aiko sings freely under the night sky.]

Beside him stood the serene Hassan, who had just returned from wiping out the Ise-san clan in Mount Okutama.

"Caster deserves a lot of praise."

"Yes, Miss Aika."

Shiki Jie Li: "As expected, it was Caster who leaked the information, allowing them to prepare in advance."

Koles: "Was the entire clan wiped out?!"

Gold: "Hey, this is way too—"

Kenneth: "This girl named Sajou Aika is terrifying..."

【"sorry..."】

[In a hiding place somewhere in the city, Elsa Saijo was sobbing uncontrollably.]

Beside me is the phone that just ended a call.

"I'm sorry, Archer...Arash..."

Just like in history, Arash's Noble Phantasm, "A Single Meteor," will mark his departure from the stage after its use.

This is a Noble Phantasm that can only be activated by sacrificing oneself.

Weber: "As expected..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Sigh! So that means this Noble Phantasm can only be used once!"

Fiore: "No wonder it has such power."

Chiron: "Like a shooting star, shining brightly for a fleeting moment."

Lion's Roar: "Historically, Arash did indeed die after firing the arrow that ended the war, no wonder."

Ta-Miao: "This is a true hero."

"At least Tokyo is still alive. Elsa is alright too..."

Inside the crumbling great temple, Arash's body had begun to dissipate.

"Are you alright? Your spirit core, was it damaged?"

【"..."】

There was no response. Having exhausted all his magic in his attempt to outdo Arash, Old Sword was now speechless.

"I'm sorry. It would be great if you could guide the conversation to me, but I don't have the time."

[Legs and feet, bursting open.]

"Although there are legends that say he survived, well, that's all there is to it. Those are two different things. I am the real Arash Kamango, no doubt about it."

[Arms, abdomen, chest—they gradually crumbled, as did the magical armor.]

[“(...There's something else you want to say to Elsa.) Listen to me, Saber—”]

[His voice was hoarse. His lungs were breaking.]

"You are right..."

[Throat, split open.]

"The people of Tokyo—they really don't have much to do with us."

[You can't hear anymore; your eardrums must be ruptured.]

"Even so, they are innocent civilians. They are no different from the lovely people we used to protect."

[The internal organs are almost completely gone.]

Chapter 477 - Rin-type Servant

"I stop here. I say, King of Knights. Man who wields the glorious sword in pursuit of honor—"

[My tongue is split open. Ahh, my brain and spiritual core are about to disappear too.]

"—What is your wish regarding the Holy Grail?"

[Final words.]

[Was the message actually conveyed correctly to the Holy Sword Wielder?]

[Video ends.]

Artoria: "Arash, worthy of the name of a hero."

Gawain: "If he had been born where we are, he would probably have become a noble knight."

Zabiko: "I thought Archer's contract had been taken away by Ayaka Sajou, but it seems that it is still in the hands of the original Master."

Blonde Rin: "It seems that Ayaka Sajou has used some means to control Archer's Master."

Rin Tohsaka: "I remember, Silent Hassan didn't sign a contract with Ayaka Sajou either."

Nameless: "It seems this girl doesn't intend to accept Command Seals from Servants other than Saber."

BB: "Hehe, is this love?"

Blonde Rin: "It all looks like obsession and possessiveness."
