BOOOOOMMMMMMM!!
The explosion was so huge that even the arguing Human?(Kegare / Spirit) and System diverted their eyes into it…
[Such huge blast! I wonder who made it?]
'It was Nero. Although I didn't know the whole event because I was in my way to finding that Holy Grail.'
Of course he wouldn't know.
After all, these so called, Memory, is a dream made from the memories of each of his wives.
The different perspective of the girls plus his own memories makes a story to be told.
But… the thing is… Rokuro have no idea of that fact.
All he knows it that, these are his memories being played as a story.
And… Athena actually know what is happening, yet… the System is playing the non remarkable and a non omniscient system.
Yes, these duo are fooling each other…
On the other side…
Exactly where Nero is…
The fire is so huge that it burned down the whole city.
Fortunately, at that time, someone saved them.
Well not just someone actually, since they are a group of people.
"Thank you! Thank you, Miss Aozaki!!"
An elderly woman bowed.
She expressed her thankful feelings to the woman currently having a cigarette.
The woman has maroon colored hair.
The woman looks as youthful as if she is in her early twenty's.
She is Aozaki Touko.
Behind her is her thrust worthy subordinate, kinda.
Her subordinate is a young man wearing glasses, Mikiya.
Far away from them is a woman who somewhat looks like Touko, with more vibrant red colored hair.
She is Aozaki Aoko, the Magus / Mage of the Fifth Magic, Magic Blue or Blue or… Time…Whatever. Just call it whatever you like.
She is actually here because she managed to perceive the First Magic, Denial of Nothingness being used, but she couldn't find the user.
And, she accidentally bumped into her sister, Touko.
For those who doesn't know, She and Touko have a blood feud.
Not to mention, the Touko of this world will never lose to Aoko.
Why is that?
It is because, Touko is now the user of the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel.
As for how?
It was taught to her by one of the so called "Container of the Greater Grail" or simply the Greater Grail, Justeaze Lizrich von Eizbern.
As for how Justeaze survive until now and taught the magic when even she cannot utilized it… Let's just talk about it in the future. Because for now…
"Aoko… What are you doing here?" Touko initiated a conversation with Aoko.
"Hmm? It's none of your business." Aoko answered dismissively.
"Hah?" Touko became instantly irritated.
Touko's puppets floating around.
Although I said puppet, they are not just any puppet.
They are puppets with their own sentient because of the application of the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel, which deals with Souls.
In other words, they are specialized homunculi.
Capable with conjuring magic.
They attacked Aoko with several, Strategic Class magic (If put in a certain Anime's term) or simply Destructive Magics.
But…
"Hahaha!! Do you think these puny puppets will stop me?"
The magics comparable to the energy blast of Artoria's Excalibur in Stay Night or Zero, vanished in existence.
"Tsk!"
Touko clicked her tongue.
While the two are fighting… A woman is actually looking at them.
Not exactly at them…
"Mikiya…"
She kept looking at the young man with a stoic albeit a little confused face.
The woman is wearing a kimono dress with a jacket draping on her shoulder.
It is Ryougi Shiki.
One might say that she at least has some affection for the guy, but…
She actually has no interest in him right now. No, in fact, even before, she only thought of him as an acquaintance.
Even hate, she is not feeling it.
So she slowly walked away.
As for why is she here?
It is because of the guy who is now underground beneath the Ryuudou Temple where the Holy Grail (Lesser) is.
...…
"Hmm… I wonder if she has managed to save-"
Suddenly, Shisui stiffen.
A burst of Mana was felt all around the air.
Also…
"Nero!"
He felt that his connection with Nero is getting weaker.
So he immediately used his Mystic Eyes to see what is happening there…
...…
"Cough! You bitch! How dare you try to sneak an attack on me!"
Gilgamesh shouted.
His whole face… is still very clean, but his whole body… is full of blood.
His armor has been broken.
Anger filled his heart.
How dare she! How dare this bitch try to harm me! Only my Friend can do this!!!!
… Well… *Cough* Forget it.
His eyes are full with burning fury.
He looked at the woman responsible for the opposition towards him.
The girl has been pierced by several spears all around her body.
Chains also tied up all over her, yet the girl still looked at the equally golden haired person.
Her endearing personality didn't even fade. Even if she is pierced by several spears all whilst being tied up by the Chains of Heaven, Enkidu.
In her mind, it is not only her that got a severe injury. She also managed to inflict a severe damage to Gilgamesh, disabling his Divinity.
"Cough… Haha… Hah… hah… Do you really… think you won? Haha- Cough!"
Nero's taunt snapped Gilgamesh's whole being.
"You! Alright! I have decided! I am going to make you submit to me!! And make you a-!"
BOOOOMMMMMM!!
A golden cup hit Gilgamesh's face and made him blast away.
CLING! CLING!
Simultaneously, all the Servants appeared on the flaming City.
Rider. Iskandar tried to pick it up but saw that a black mist is contaminating the cup so he stopped.
"Ohh!! This might be troublesome… Not that it can stop me! Kahaha!!"
"Please don't even tr-!"
SWUSHH!!
A figure dashed right in front of them…
Even the enthralled Caster who keeps screaming, "My Saint! My Saint!" as he looked at Artoria, diverted his attention towards the figure.
They also saw that the cup was missing…
"Wait. Where is the lesser grail?"
Then, Darmuid's Master, Kenneth, sensed a raging force of Mana. He looked at the sky and saw a giant magic circle.
Though, what baffled him is that… it is not your typical Magic Formation.
Instead of using Hebrew as the Alphabet for the Magic Formula, it uses Japanese Kanji.
"Onmyōdō?"
Kotomine Kirei murmured.
Although Kirei practices Chinese martial arts, Bajiquan, it doesn't mean he doesn't know traditional Japanese Magecraft and Japanese martial arts.
In fact, he is quite well verse in these things.
"Assassin, what do you think?"
A group of men and women in full black dress, even cloaked, appeared.
One of them answered.
"I think whoever responsible for that giant magic circle in the air is a giant threat."
Kirei looked thoughtfully while gazing at the giant magic circle.
Then answered.
"Don't bother. You'll only get yourselves killed."
Then he walked away.
All of the personifications of the Assassin, Hassan-I-Sabbah or more correctly, Hassan of Hundred Faces, looked at each.
Confused they became.
Nevertheless, they heed the suggestions of their Master.
Kirei right now, is not the one who got "poisoned" by Gilgamesh.
So, he can still become Mofu Tofu Guy!
Although… he enjoys "pain" it is not to the extremity of it.
So he still has a chance.
In fact… this whole showcase of magic can also be gazed from afar…
Magus Killer, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is currently on top of a mountain, doing some weird stuff, put his gaze upon the Magic Circle.
On the other side of the burning Fuyuki City, Aozaki Aoko…
Aoko and Touko stopped fighting. They decided to put their fight on hold because, it seems that the Grail War happening right now has escalated to another level.
This destruction… definitely… it will lead to execution.
The Church will definitely move as this War is destroying everything in the City.
Of course, Ryougi Shiki, on the forest, saw those two as well as the enormous Magic Circle.
Ryougi Shiki's eyes glowed and her shoulder length hair became a little longer.
It was her Void Form…
Make no mistake, the Ryougi Shiki in this world is not the same as the other timeline.
Like depicted earlier, Ryougi Shiki has achieve perfect union with the three personalities on the being called [Ryougi Shiki]
Both the female, Shiki (式), and the male, SHIKI' (織) have fused together, awakening the personality who has hidden her/himself on the two split personalities, [Shiki] or Void.
That is also one of the reasons why she believes that, "They may be Ryougi Shiki, but they are not Her.".
Also a plus characteristics that makes her different from her parallel selves… She has a magic circuit.
Albeit, only a very low graded one, only reaching E+ to D grade in both Quantity and Quality. But… the Scale of her Magic can be increased by several folds by using the ROOTS…
Grabbing her katana out of nowhere, she made a simple move of slicing the katana and a fissure on the space revealed and she passed through it…
Upon leaping on the other side, she saw Shisui sitting on top of one of the burning building, which the fire doesn't seem to be flowing down to him.
Also, what is more weird is that, a golden cup is floating on top of his head.
Upon closer look Void Shiki saw black mist overflowing on the cup…
"It's contaminated…"
"Mmm…"
Shisui just hummed softly while gazing at a golden haired man stretching his whole body…
In truth, he already sensed Ryougi Shiki a while ago. When she sliced the space… he already noticed her…
Gilgamesh then looked at Shisui with intense fury in his red eyes.
His casual attire danced through the air as the intensity of his Mana reached several folds.
He snapped his fingers.
In accordance to the sound, the chains that shackles Nero disappeared, as well as those spears piercing her body.
"COUGH!! COUGH!!"
She coughed blood.
Her body is very bloody because of all the wounds she sustained. In fact the wounds are very severe that it is no longer just a wound but punctures on her body.
"Berserker!!"
As she starts falling, Artoria tried to catch her.
This also diverted the Caster, Gilles, because of the two girls who looked the same.
But being the simp he is for Jeanne, he tried to also reach towards the two girls.
"My Saint!! Wait!!"
Artoria is one inch in reaching Nero, when…
"Ehh? Where did she go?"
Nero disappeared.
But it isn't the normal disappearance of a Servant when defeated or the Grail War is finished.
Nero didn't dissolved in particles, instead she literally just disappeared instantly.
...
(Nero's PoV)
'Ahhh… Finally… I have finished my task…
Although I am quite dissatisfied with the outcome, what could I possibly do?
This is the perfect outcome.
I guess I'm going back to that boring place?
Sigh… Just when I thought I have seen a perfect Consort for this Emperor… these things are happening…
Well, I guess nothing goes as planned?
Wait… What am I thinking?
Umu! This is not the end of it!!
I, the Emperor of Roses… is Rome itself, and Rome is Everywhere, Rome is Eternal!
The flamboyance of Rome is the Truth!
As long as Earth exist, so does Rome!
Umu! Umu! That means… Wherever he is, I am there! Hehehe…
Eh? What is that…'
Opening my eyes…
It was the Master that summoned me…
A lot of floating blades and spears surrounding us… he didn't faltered.
Instead he held me in his grasp… tightly…
"Don't. Don't say it. You have done enough, leave this to me."
He smiled.
It was the first. The first time, someone really trusted me this much…
"Hmm…"
I nodded, while tears flowing my eyes.
Why am I crying?
I am an Emperor! But… still… I guess I can be an Empress for him…
Then drowsiness flowed to me…
