"I don't know when we'll see each other again..."
......
"Where is this place?"
My throat feels so sore, I keep coughing.
"Wake up, senior, we'll be there soon."
Where am I...? Aren't I in Fuyuki?
My eyes opened slightly, revealing an endless expanse of plains...
This feels so familiar... This place is...
"It seems we need to find Gausska Yang as soon as possible; the poison from the Immortal's Decay and Nether Vein appears to have already invaded Ritsuka's brain..."
Ugh? !
Is this the Third Lostbelt?
My head is spinning...
......
My eyes opened for the second time...
Who are Mash and the others fighting?
Is that Qin Liangyu...?
"You foreigners who claim to be from the pan-human history, why do you threaten our world?"
......
"Correcting a world full of mistakes? That's all Confucian scholars would say..."
"So what exactly is the correct world? And what is your world?"
Is it a world where everyone preaches selfish justice and beliefs?
How many people die in war every day in your time?
"How many innocent people and children have been sacrificed?"
......
"I don't want to know anything about other people like you!"
......
"...How annoying, Pan-Anthropological History..."
...his eyes closed again...this time, he closed them willingly...
I do not know how long it has been...
"Fujimaru Ritsuka...Fujimaru Ritsuka...Fujimaru Ritsuka..."
That is...
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, can you accept this ending?"
......
Open your eyes...
Is this... Fuyuki?
(A meteor shower fell from the sky, and skyscrapers collapsed helplessly in this devastating celestial event, like fragile pieces of paper being swept up by a gale.)
(The earth trembled violently, and deep, bottomless cracks appeared in the ground, tearing the city streets into countless fragments. Broken bridges, collapsed buildings, scattered rubble, and wrecked vehicles were everywhere.)
(The seawater churned violently, and huge waves crashed against the shore, swallowing up the coastal buildings.)
(The screams of people mingled with the roar of collapsing buildings, echoing through this apocalyptic scene.)
"Senior! Senior!"
"Mash, what's wrong?" Fujimaru Ritsuka covered his head and looked at the purple eggplant that kept calling out to him in front of the bed.
"Senior, you overslept! Everyone is waiting for you. Today is the day to attack Ryudouji Temple!"
Mash Kyrielight rarely spoke so vehemently to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"And, Fou is back."
"Foo! Fufufufu! Fufu!"
"Senpai, what's wrong? You don't look well..." Mashu asked worriedly, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's somewhat haggard appearance.
"N-nothing, just a nightmare..." Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and replied.
"Okay, then you should wash up first, I'll wait for you in the lobby." After Mashu finished speaking, she carried the wildly fussing Fou away from the guest room where Fujimaru Ritsuka was staying.
When Fujimaru Ritsuka was alone in the room, she murmured to herself:
"Is this...the end of this world...?"
Chapter 172 The Great Battle Is Imminent (3K)
The mountains were silvery-white, the rocks were silvery-white, and as far as the eye could see, there were withered trees covered with silvery-white threads.
It looked like a giant spider spinning its web in the mountains, or like the paradise described in the Bible, far removed from the world.
Each thread is imbued with a dark magic, like threads of fate wrapped around things visible to the naked eye.
All the white hairs came from the direction of the lake behind Liudong Temple, as if a white-haired demon sat there, its white hair stretching for thousands of feet.
Indeed, the white-haired demon Medea is sitting quietly here, gazing at her beloved.
"What is this?" Matou Ike looked at the thing Medea was handing over.
"Isn't this what you wanted from me in the first place, Master?" Medea simply smiled faintly as she looked at her Master's bewildered expression.
"All my knowledge of magic, along with my memories of having existed in this world."
Matou Ike remained silent, unsure how to respond.
"Master, am I a greedy woman? I'm just a passerby in this world as a Servant, yet I still try to leave my mark."
"I even want to brand you with my own unique mark..."
Medea spoke very quickly, but Matouchi still heard her very clearly.
Branding?
This is really...
Matou Ike slowly walked forward and gently embraced Medea. This was the first time he had ever taken the initiative to hug her...
"It seems I've messed with a woman I shouldn't have... but I..."
"It's alright, Master, it's enough. I'm already satisfied with just this..."
Medea nuzzled her head against Matou Ike's chest, greedily inhaling his scent.
She was prepared to die.
......
"Is this really Ryudou-ji Temple? It looks completely different from when I last came here..." Lancer said with some surprise as he arrived at the foot of Mount Enzo.
"This level of anomaly...has it already violated the Mage's Association's rule against leaking secrets?"
The image of Leonardo da Vinci then appeared in the air, commenting on the appearance of Ryudou-ji Temple.
"Yes, yes, it's like entering a den of demons. The magicians here should be arrested and tortured by the association."
The chubby director finally caught on to the conversation and found a sense of participation in this operation.
"A massive barrier has been set up here to repel people. There should be no ordinary people moving around within a five-kilometer radius."
El-Melloi II sensed the magical fluctuations in the air and analyzed them.
And at the very back of the group.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, as the Master, seemed somewhat distracted at the moment.
"Senpai, are you really okay?" Mashu, the purple eggplant, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was taking steps forward behind her, with some concern.
"Ah...ah, it's nothing." Fujimaru Ritsuka realized someone was talking to her, immediately adjusted her expression, and returned Mash's smile.
El-Melloi II, who was walking at the front, saw all of this but said nothing.
After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't the kind of person who would let her down at crucial moments; she was worlds apart from her student.
In fact, most of the people who were with her noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka was not in a good mood today.
But now that things are coming to an end, pointing it out directly might have unpredictable consequences for the upcoming operations.
Just then, Artoria and the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu Emiya also arrived.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Kiritsugu Emiya merely glanced at everyone, lingering his gaze on Ritsuka Fujimaru for a mere 0.2 seconds before getting straight to the point.
“I checked last night. The protective barriers of Ryudoji Temple have all been removed, leaving only two barriers.”
"One is a barrier to drive people away, and the other is a detection barrier, but we didn't plan to launch a surprise attack anyway, so this barrier won't be a problem."
"As for the withdrawal of the protective barrier, it should be due to the problem of mana supply caused by the need to supply the big guy inside."
"I've finished speaking. Do you have anything to add?"
Kiritsugu Emiya shared his information clearly and logically, but one could still sense his urgency in his words.
"Insufficient magic power? That Caster shouldn't have that problem, right? After all, when I fought her last time, her magic power seemed inexhaustible, like she was in the Age of Gods."
Lancer couldn't help but retort after hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's words.
"No matter what, we'll only know after we fight it out. However, we definitely need to pay attention to Caster's mana reserves."
El-Melloi II concluded the discussion, and he was also eager to see the guy who had defeated the King of Conquerors in this Holy Grail War.
Finally, everyone looked at the only Master present—Fujimaru Ritsuka—waiting for his orders.
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt the gaze directed at her and snapped out of her daze.
