I browsed the short video of the monthly model, and the Hall of Valor broke the defense

["I told you that you should have died at that time."]

[In the dark and deep alley, Gilgamesh, dressed in casual clothes, stood opposite Matou Sakura... and Matou Sakura lowered her head, giving people a strange feeling. ]

["Golden and beautiful~" Matou Sakura murmured. ]

[Gilgamesh's face suddenly turned cold, and a golden halo appeared behind him. Countless swords and halberds shot out in an instant. ]

[Matou Sakura seemed to be unaware and did not move at all. In the blink of an eye, the sword pierced through Matou Sakura's body, and red splashed everywhere. The scene was so tragic that people could not bear to watch it directly. ]

[The clean white skirt was covered with blood red. 】

【However, the next second, the body was cut into several pieces. Matou Sakura, who was obviously dead, suddenly stretched out her bloody right arm and stood up strangely.】

【With a bang, the street lamp beside Matou Sakura collapsed, and the glass fragments of the bulb fell to the ground. Just before the light was about to go out, Matou Sakura, whose face was blocked by purple bangs, suddenly raised her mouth.】

【Following that, countless black shadow lines behind Matou Sakura expanded wildly, and then the black shadow attacked Gilgamesh at almost the speed of light.】

【With a click, only the shadow was seen. The original Gilgamesh's shadow had lost its head, and the gap was like a fountain, with blood-red liquid gushing out against gravity. 】

[And Sakura Matou, who was wearing a blood-stained white skirt just now, has blood-red lines all over her limbs, and these lines finally converge into a black skirt. 】

[Sakura Matou reappears in the picture, but she seems to be chewing something in her mouth...]

[As for the headless corpse opposite Sakura Matou, it slowly fell down...]

[The purple color became deeper and deeper, and even began to evolve into a strange demon red. The left cheek of Sakura Matou was covered with red lines. The chewing action slowly ended, and a strange red flowed from the corner of her mouth. 】

[The camera kept zooming in, and finally locked on the corner of Sakura Matou's mouth. 】

[Matou Sakura suddenly opened her mouth and laughed~18]

"[Weber]: Hiss......"

"[Cuchulainn]: Hahahaha, enthusiastic citizen Jin Shanshan, ran to deliver midnight snacks in the middle of the night, tsk, the Street Lamp King finally became the meal of the sickly beautiful girl!"

"[Illya]: Hahahaha, well done, Sakura!"

"[Gilgamesh]: How, is it possible?!"

"[Diarmuid]: Is this the end? The Street Lamp King was eaten like this?"

"[Tousaka Rin]: Gilgamesh, that's it?"

[Gilgamesh was eaten by Matou Sakura in one bite. When he returned home, Matou Sakura, covered in blood, scared Shirou and Tousaka Rin. 】

[After taking care of Sakura and lying down, the news on TV made people feel a chill in their backs.】

[“A large-scale power outage suddenly occurred in the area near Xindu Station. In addition, the police received many strange reports. Some citizens reported that many neighbors suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are still unknown.”]

[Illya watched all this silently. Early the next morning, she came to Matou Sakura who was resting in the guest room.]

[“Good morning, do you still have self-awareness now, Sakura?”]

[“Where did you devour the soul?”]

[“Assassin and Rider are still here, but you are already full. It’s really surprising.”]

[Matou Sakura’s eyes trembled, and Illya’s face was still innocent. 】

["Sakura, do you know what will happen to you next?"]

["No, I don't know, what will happen to me?"]

[Illya slowly closed her eyes: "You will die, absolutely, there is no way to save you."]

[In the living room, Toosaka Rin closed her eyes and asked Shirou: "What do you think of Sakura's condition?"]

["She is very energetic. Although she still has a fever, it is reassuring compared to before. Moreover, Sakura herself is very obedient. Although she insisted on doing housework before, she just lay in bed today. This way, she can be cured sooner." Shirou whispered like a dream. 】

["It's natural that she would be obedient. That child can't stand up on her own."]

["Hmm?" Shirou asked in confusion: "Why? The magic power should be enough, so the physical strength should be sufficient."]

["Yes, her magic power and physical strength are better than ordinary people. But the inside is horrible. I don't know what happened last night, but the child did die once. It's really hard to understand if you don't think so, because the tendons in her hands and feet are all broken."]

[Shirou was surprised: "How could it be, didn't Sakura have any external injuries?"]

["Only from the outside it looks intact. I don't know if it was bitten off by the engraving worm in the body, or chopped up by something else. If the inside was chopped up, it might not be possible. It's just that the body feels pain, and even the spirit may collapse..."]

[Toosaka Rin weighed her tone and said bitterly: "Let me ask you, can Sakura recognize you?"]

[Shirou looked into Toosaka Rin's eyes: "Sakura, can't she recognize you, Toosaka?"]

["No, she can recognize me correctly and call me sister." Toosaka Rin turned her head: "But, the child didn't see me in front of her, but Toosaka Rin in Sakura's memory."]

[Toosaka Rin slowly stood up: "We only became partners to defeat Zouken, but, Shirou, if Zouken has nothing to do with the black shadow, what will you do?"]

[Shirou's pupils shrank and he was speechless. This sharp soul-searching question made Shirou simply unable to admit it.]

"[Illya]: HelpWhen Sakura came in, Shirou-nii-san discovered that Sakura was the shadow."

"【Aozaki Touko】: Shirou just didn't want to admit it, and didn't dare to admit it..."

"【Weber】: Mr. Gilgamesh, who reported the case, was killed~"

"【Iskander】: No, it should be Gilgamesh who saved a lot of ordinary people in Fuyuki City. If it weren't for him, I don't know how many ordinary people this little girl would have eaten, thousands? Tens of thousands?"

"【Diarmuid】: So, Gilgamesh sacrificed himself for others? !"

"【Ozymandias】: Hahahaha, sacrificed himself for others!! Gilgamesh, sacrificed himself for others, hahahaha!"

"【Gilgamesh】: Diarmuid, miscellaneous repair! ”

“[Cuchulainn]: It may not be so accurate, but that’s what I mean~”

“[Tousaka Rin]: As expected of the legendary wise king, you sacrificed yourself for the citizens of Fuyuki, which is admirable!”

[As night fell, Shirou did not rest with Matou Sakura tonight.]

[Shirou buried his face in the pillow.]

[Suddenly, a low voice sounded outside the door.]

[“Shirou Emiya, right?”]

[“Who!!!”]

[Shirou suddenly jumped out of the quilt.]

[Outside the door, there was a dark shadow.] (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

[“There is no point in being on guard. I am not here to kill you. "The deep voice came from the Servant wearing a skull mask.]

["Assassin? !"]

["My master hopes to meet you."]

["Yes, Zōken?"]

["Yes, I am waiting at the Matou residence. My master has no intention of fighting. As long as you go alone, my master will welcome you."]

[After a few seconds of hesitation, Shirou nodded.]

["I understand. I have something to say to Zōken as well."]

["A smart choice. Then please hurry up. I can't keep it secret from Rider. If others find out, my master will change his mind."]

["Hmph! "Shirou snorted, got up and walked outside.]

[The weather was gloomy, and the clouds in the sky covered the moon and stars, so that nothing could be seen.]

[Shirou walked on the dark road and soon arrived at the Matou family.]

["Oh, you're here earlier than I expected, the kid from the Emiya family."]

[Shirou didn't say anything. He looked around the Matou family and stared at Matou Zouken.]

["Huh? What, you don't want to say hello to me? I'm really annoying." Matou Zouken smiled happily.]

["Zou, if there is something to discuss, I only want to say one thing, and that is to release Sakura right now."]

["Liberate Sakura... Well, no, I am also very eager for this, but unfortunately, it is no longer possible for me.I did my best, kid." Matou Zouken replied with some regret.]

["What did you say?"]

["Even if I take action, I can't save it after cultivating it to this point. Sakura already has the function of being the Holy Grail. Even if I take out the seal bug now, I can't change the fact that it will self-destruct."]

["Wait a minute. Why do you say Sakura is the Holy Grail? What did you do to Sakura? !"]

["Need I say more? The means you used to obtain the Holy Grail and realize your own wishes are all the sad wishes of the Machiriwu tribe. In order to materialize the true immortal soul energy, after the Holy Grail War ten years ago, I buried the Holy Grail in Sakura, her body."][]

[Shirou's pupils shrank: "What? Bury, the Holy Grail?"]

["That's right. You've heard about the end of the Holy Grail War ten years ago. Your father, Emiya Kiritsugu, destroyed the Holy Grail when the Holy Grail War ritual was completed. The war ended there, and the ritual to summon the Holy Grail failed again."]

["However, it did not fail completely. Even if it was only for a moment, the Holy Grail was still completed. As a result, its fragments. It would be a pity to leave the broken and scattered Holy Grail alone. I buried the recovered Holy Grail in her body."]

[Shirou swallowed: "Then, the Crest Worm in Sakura's body is..."]

["That, it's just something that acts as a catalyst for the Holy Grail." Matou Zouken smiled happily: "It's to allow the body to receive the soul and become the Holy Grail. When the ritual is over, it will become a prop that connects the doorway. It's a Holy Grail made by imitating Einzbern. Because I don't have their technology, more than 80% of it is my own method. ”】

【“Old man, since you can’t make the Holy Grail yourself, you use this method to use humans as materials to imitate the manufacturing of the Holy Grail!”】

【“It’s an experiment. It’s a complete experiment, young man from the Emiya family. Things like this are just to maintain the next experiment. It’s expected that Sakura will slowly become something similar to the Holy Grail over a period of more than ten years. After all, it is almost impossible to adjust to the state of retaining the function of a container for storing souls while living as a human until the end of one’s life.”】

【Shirou’s breathing became rapid: “Sakura, is she an experimental subject?”】

【“Of course.” Matou Zouken smiled: “Sakura is the girl who was dedicated to Matou for this purpose. She became Matou’s daughter and became the basis for fulfilling the sad wish of the Machiri clan. The Tohsaka family also understands this very well, because they have the same goal as me. If they want to achieve immortality, they must become evil spirits together. ”】

[“Immortal, huh? Are you using Sakura for such a stupid reason? You too, and Tōsaka’s father too!”]

[“Of course, the Holy Grail War that was originally held here was a ritual to reach this location. We only joined forces for this purpose. Even if only the old man is left, I will continue to live in this ugly form., using Matou's heir to fulfill a long-ago wish."]

[Matou Zouken sighed: "But fate is also ironic. Sakura, who was originally a spare because she could not adapt to the Holy Grail 827, can actually grow to this point. It's amazing. Alas, I am old too. I didn't expect Sakura to have such qualifications. Not only can she obtain most of the Servants who have not yet perished, but she can also survive with the functions of Matou Sakura. This is the complete and perfect Holy Grail. I thought I couldn't make it and gave up. This is the Holy Grail of the Einzbern family."]

["Don't be ridiculous. What Holy Grail! It's all about sacrificing humans. How can it be called great?" Shirou raised his fist and was about to hit him.]

[But the next second, Matou Zouken grinned and said: "That's the Holy Grail. Isn't the Holy Grail made by Einzbern also human? ”】

【As if struck directly in the soul, Shirou's movements suddenly stopped.】

【He then staggered back, he had already thought of it.】

【"That's right. The Illya you hid was the Holy Grail. It's really embarrassing to regard me as the same as them? No matter what, the Einzberns are several times more vicious than me. What kind of thing is the Holy Grail they prepared? You can ask them in person."】

【Ignoring Shirou's shocked expression, Matou Zouken said: "Then, let's end your talk here. The reason I called you here is that I have something to discuss with that shadow."】

【"Isn't it your accomplice!"】

【"Accomplice? Well, although I have helped it, it has never helped me. First, it is impossible to communicate with it. I just paved the way to prevent it from rioting. I persuaded it every night to minimize the damage, but I can't do it since last night. To be honest, I am powerless. "】

【"Last night?!" Shirou's fingers trembled.】

【"Speaking of which, I do need to explain to you what the black shadow is. In fact, it is the inside of the Holy Grail."】

【"Although the Holy Grail is an omnipotent instrument that can realize all wishes, our goal is not the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is just a means."】

【"The goal of the three families, Einzbern, Makiri, and Tohsaka, is to use the completed Holy Grail to open a door leading to the outside, and then pass through the door to the source. ”】

【“But, I am no longer interested. Einzbern is only pursuing the completion of the Holy Grail. Now, only Tōsaka is left with the goal of the root.”】

【Looking at the sky, Matou Zouken talked about the past.】

【“Forget it. Anyway, the Holy Grail is the door hole connected to the wish-making machine. The black shadow is what flowed from there to here. Although the Holy Grail was made by me, if this goes on, I am afraid that everyone will be killed.”】

【Shirou took a breath: “You, you mean, that black shadow is?”】

【“You have alreadyDid you notice it? After all, it is Sakura's shadow. You should be able to tell the similarities between it and Sakura since you are so close to her. That black shadow is Matou Sakura!"】.
