I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

“Master—?” Shakespeare exclaimed in surprise.

"What a pity, in this Holy Grail War... all of our magicians have been wiped out." Barthemello said, looking at the corpses on the ground, "Not a single one is left. They were all wiped out along with the people of the Holy Church. Only I am left."

As she spoke, she looked at the other two people.

Kurokawa and Yasuhiro and Shakespeare, especially Kurokawa and Yasuhiro...

If it weren't for his inexplicable immortality, she would have killed Kurokawa and Mi just now.

But now...

Even if I told anyone, it wouldn't matter. Whether anyone would believe me or not, even if someone did, so what? That's just how the world of magic is. She is Bartholomew!

She is the monarch of the Clock Tower; there is no being capable of punishing her.

Kurokawa Kazuya's lips twitched slightly: "I didn't see anything... Alright, alright, make a wish, let me see how the Holy Grail grants wishes."

"Yes, we also want to see how the Holy Grail is realized!"

Barthezmello frowned, said nothing more, placed his hand on the Greater Grail, and said, "You should die first, Shakespeare."

"Ugh?"

A wind blade flashed past, and unlike before, without a Master, Shakespeare naturally had no room to stay.

"We...will we not see that final scene? What a pity...such a pity! At a time like this, we must sing a mournful song—"

"Alright! Hurry up and die! Don't stay any longer!"

"...Yes, yes, then we shall meet again."

After confirming that Shakespeare had left the stage, Barthezello looked at the Greater Grail, now brimming with magic, and extended his hand: "Then... let's make a wish—"

Chapter 291 The Last Echoes

And so the Holy Grail War came to an end.

The War of Seven...

A large number of magicians, agents, and Dead Apostles died...

Egypt's economic losses are countless.

Cairo, the capital and largest city of Egypt, has been largely reduced to a deep crater.

Connected to the Nile River, it has now become a huge lake.

Barthezmello, as the ultimate victor, successfully fulfilled his wish—to ensure the continuation of the Great Source.

but...

We don't know how long it can be extended, but at least for now we don't have to worry about Dayuan completely disappearing by 2000.

"Thank goodness..." Barthezmello breathed a slight sigh of relief after fulfilling his wish. He had finally succeeded... If he had paid such a high price and still failed, it would have been a different story.

To be honest, she didn't have the face to go back to the Magic Association like that.

Barthezmero came out and looked at Kurokawa and Mi with a complicated expression.

What should be done with this person? Kill him? No... If she could, she would have done it already, and... this guy seems to be everywhere.

However, even if he couldn't kill her, he didn't want to see Kurokawa Kazuya again.

She likes Kurokawa Kazuya's manga, but that's about it.

Liking someone's work doesn't necessarily mean liking that person. In her view, this means: "Let's just let this matter drop for now... I'll pretend I didn't see your Servant kill the entire Clone Squad. In return, don't ever appear in front of me again. Yeah... you might as well just stay away from the Clock Tower."

"I'll just pretend you were never in Cairo."

As he spoke, Kurokawa Kazuya felt his movements becoming more difficult.

"Um... what are we going to do?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked, already ready to use a Command Spell at any moment.

Barthelon placed his hand on Kurokawa Kazuya's chest, infusing it with an unusual aura, before withdrawing his hand: "It's nothing, just a curse."

Barthezmero sneered as he slowly floated up.

Magicians are not Servants, so flying is quite difficult for them, but simply floating is a very simple thing for Barthezello.

"I never want to see you again, so I cast this curse. From now on, you will never be able to get close to London again, or your heart will feel excruciating pain. Anyway, you won't die, right? So I won't kill you, it'll just be pain."

"Then... farewell."

Kurokawa Kazuya touched his chest, watching Bartholomew drift across to the western Nile, deeper into the river, and slowly smiled: "The curse... but it seems it's been broken. Avalon... huh? That thing is really useful..."

However, it seems that another portion of the magic power has been used up.

There are only eleven attempts left...

"But, shouldn't we just leave the Greater Grail here and not take it away?" Kurokawa Kazuya looked at the Greater Grail behind him and placed his hand on it.

next moment--

The Holy Grail, which had initially appeared intact, began to slowly peel away, layer by layer, until finally—

It turned completely to dust!

"..." Kurokawa Kazuya was slightly startled: "What is this? Could it be that it has reached its limit because it was used to prolong the Great Source? Or did Barthezello do something without my knowledge?"

......

Magic Association —

Dayuan Measurement Laboratory.

This facility was built in 1970 to accurately respond to the decline of the Dayuan River.

Starting in 1970, Dayuan began to recede at a rate dozens of times faster than usual.

It is expected to completely subside by 2000.

"This is... Da Yuan's descent speed is half as slow as yesterday?" The magician exclaimed in surprise, looking at the instrument. "Is it a coincidence? Or... is there some other reason? Could it be..."

"Lord Barthezello succeeded?"

......

A month later.

Cairo International Airport

This airport, located about 15 kilometers northeast of downtown Cairo, the capital of Egypt, survived the previous Holy Grail War.

Although fifteen kilometers isn't a long distance for Arash's arrows, the primary target this time was the Dead River in Akado. Therefore, the airport wasn't severely damaged, and they could easily return via it afterward.

"Fortunately, I had already visited the Egyptian Museum before, otherwise I would have really missed out."

While waiting for the plane, Kurokawa Kazuya tried his best to reconstruct the damaged manuscripts from his mind.

I've already drawn this once before, so it's much easier to redraw it now. This is the last original draft... Once I finish this, I'll have all the spoils from this Holy Grail War.

However, he was curious about Kirei Kotomine.

I haven't seen him yet...

Did the things we agreed on fall through?

After carefully putting away the newly completed original drawing, Kurokawa Kazuya stood up and walked around for a bit. A somber atmosphere permeated the entire airport.

Most of Cairo was simply erased from the map.

Although, quite surprisingly, there were no casualties—

Magicians aren't human...

In short, apart from the mystical side such as magicians and agents, there were no casualties.

International news outlets are now praising Egypt's disaster response measures.

This was something that neither the Holy Church nor the Magic Association could have accomplished on their own. Kurokawa Kazuya guessed that... it was very likely that Pharaoh Ramses II had also secretly pulled some strings.

However, he probably didn't expect that the entire eastern part of Cairo would be wiped out. What he was doing was probably a preparation to prevent his battle with Gilgamesh from affecting the whole city.

In short...

There were no casualties.

However, the fact that millions of people have lost their homes and everything they own remains a headache. Britain took the lead in responding to this natural disaster, demanding that Egypt disclose its refuge methods and offering substantial financial assistance to Egypt.

Ahh...

It must be because of the Magic Association behind it.

Now, even this airport has been partially converted into a large area, filled with people, to allow them to temporarily settle down and await the local government's response.

"What a disaster for Egypt... Two meteorites have struck in such a short time... one landed in the desert, and the other in Cairo..."

Chapter 292 Reaction

"Things in Egypt are almost over. I need to go to the Holy Church headquarters to report what happened. What about you?" Kirei Kotomine said, looking at the person standing to the side, Rihito Ishizaki, the Sbaer Master in this Holy Grail War.

"As for me..." Rihito Ishizaki thought for a moment, "I'll probably go back to Japan... There's nowhere else I can go."

"Is that so?" Kirei Kotomine put down his packed luggage and sat down to the side, saying, "I think you are very talented."

"Huh?" Ishizaki Rihito was slightly taken aback: "What kind of aptitude?"

"The qualifications to become an agent."

Rihito Ishizaki's pupils contracted slightly, and for a moment—time seemed to stand still in the world.

He was terrified, terrified of this mysterious world.

Just look at Cairo. Most of Cairo has disappeared, completely. Now it has been completely filled in and turned into a huge... artificial lake?

Ah, it should be considered an artificial lake, since it was created by human intervention.

Scary, isn't it?

Although no one died, it was all based on the premise that someone had good intentions.
