Chapter 205 The Holy Grail Descends

"what is that……"

Emiya Shirou's temples throbbed violently, as if countless needles were pricking and churning in his brain. The horrific scene from ten years ago flashed before his eyes—those images, like an inescapable shadow, were forever etched into his memory.

"Shirou! Shirou! Are you alright?!"

Saber Artoria quickly steadied the unsteady Shirou Emiya, her voice full of concern.

She harbored a deep-seated guilt, always feeling that Shirou Emiya's current predicament was inextricably linked to some of her past actions.

"I'm fine, Saber. Thank you for your concern. I was just thinking about something unpleasant." Shirou Emiya also cheered up.

“Caster, the situation is so obvious now, aren’t you going to use my method?”

Lin Yu looked at Caster Medea; the situation was already quite clear: the Holy Grail was faulty.

"..."

Caster Medea clenched her teeth, a difficult decision raging within her.

If this Holy Grail can truly grant her wish, she is willing to pay any price—she is willing to endure anything as long as she can be with Souichirou Kuzuki.

But Medea hesitated when faced with the potential cost of the Holy Grail. If things were really as Archer said, the outcome might be completely contrary to her original intention. So, she made her choice.

"Buzz!"

Caster decides not to choose the Holy Grail to fulfill her wish. Instead, she chooses the path Lin Yu suggested—using the Command Seals on Kuzuki Souichirou, which she had previously transferred from Assassin.

At this moment, Kuzuki Souichirou raised his right hand, which held the Command Seals, and said:

"My Servant, I bestow upon you a body in the name of the Command Spell. Stay, Caster!"

I'll give you a body, stay here, Caster!

"I've given you a body, stay here, Caster!"

Souichirou Kuzuki was unusually agitated at this moment, a state that was extremely rare for him. At least in the memory of Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya, they had never seen Kuzuki-sensei so out of control.

The power of the three Command Seals diffused in the air and flowed entirely into Caster Medea's body.

These three Command Seals contain power surpassing that of Grand Magic, enough to accomplish things unimaginable to ordinary people, and are currently reshaping Caster Medea's true flesh and blood body.

"It really worked!"

Kuzuki Souichirou eagerly stepped forward, while Caster Medea beamed with a happy smile.

She looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with gratitude, all traces of her previous wariness and hostility gone. This witch, who had suffered so much betrayal, was finally not betrayed this time, and she was filled with deep gratitude towards Lin Yu.

"See? I told you I'm a great person, but people are always on guard against me, like I'm a thief."

Lin Yu smiled; it felt really good to be trusted.

However, Caster obtaining a physical body was a minor matter; the real big event was about to begin: the Holy Grail began to reveal its true form.

The evil of this world has already begun to stir. After everyone withdrew, the Greater Grail began to automatically filter, leaving no one to choose. Our Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya were honored to be forced to accept the wish of the Holy Grail, but only one of them was needed.

"This guy's forcibly drawing lots, huh? Rin, Shirou Emiya, who's going to do it?"

Lin Yu turned to look at the two of them. To summon the Holy Grail, a leader had to be chosen. If no one made a wish, the Greater Grail could not be activated. If it was not activated, the consequences would be quite interesting.

"Alright, hurry up."

Lin Yu said, seemingly unconcerned that anything would happen to the two of them.

"let me!"

Shirou Emiya mustered his courage and said that he would not admit defeat in the face of his adoptive father Kiritsugu Emiya's possession, and moreover, he would not let Rin Tohsaka face it.

Although he didn't know what would happen, he still mustered up the courage to face it.

"Good lad, impressive!"

Lin Yu reached out and gently placed his hand on Emiya Shirou's shoulder. He truly was a partner of justice.

Although the road to greatness is often fraught with thorns, many people perish along the way before reaching the summit.

But in any case, those who sacrificed themselves for justice deserve to be remembered.

Just then, the arrival of the Holy Grail shattered the tranquility. Shirou Emiya felt an invisible force tightly envelop him, instantly pulling him to the Holy Grail.

There, he saw “the evil of this world” – Angela Manuel.

It was a soul that once bore the heaviest suffering in the world, but now it was twisted and deformed. It longed for the world and wanted to unleash endless malice. But Shirou Emiya knew that the being before him was no longer worthy of any sympathy.

"This Holy Grail War is the starting point of all disasters. As long as it ends, Fuyuki City can get rid of the catastrophe that occurs every sixty years and will no longer be shrouded in the shadow of gas explosions."

From the black hole, terrifying "black mud" began to gush out, slowly flowing to the ground and merging with the Lesser Grail.

Lin Yu and Saber Artoria held their breath, waiting for the true Holy Grail, constructed from powerful magic, to appear beneath Fuyuki City. It was about to emerge from the black hole and come into the mortal world.

Kiritsugu Emiya's trap failed. If time had been pushed back fifty years, when the Greater Grail was activated, his trap might have completely destroyed the entire ritual. However, now, the trap that was activated fifty years too late can only watch helplessly as the Greater Grail is reactivated.

Finally, the cup-shaped Holy Grail rose from the black hole and descended into the mortal world.

At that moment, Saber Artoria understood completely.

She did indeed strike the wrong stone last time; she destroyed the Lesser Grail, which was Irisviel in disguise. At that time, the Greater Grail had not yet descended with it as its core. Kiritsugu Emiya's order brought everything to an early end, causing her to miss the opportunity to truly destroy the Greater Grail.

"Archer, shall we make our move now?"

Saber Artoria turned her gaze to Lin Yu, her voice tinged with urgency.

She could not bear the Holy Grail before her—it not only shattered the dreams of the heroic spirits, but also used those dreams as bait to summon them time and time again, as if mercilessly toying with their desires.

"Wait a little longer, don't rush."

Lin Yu gently soothed Saber's emotions, saying that now was not the time to take action because Shirou Emiya had not yet returned. Saber seemed somewhat agitated at the moment, and her only thought was to destroy the Holy Grail immediately.

"Shirou, is he alright?"

Saber suddenly realized that Shirou Emiya was still in danger, but she had been so focused on destroying the Holy Grail that she had almost forgotten about his safety. Anger had made her lose her mind, but she tried to calm herself down.

"Most likely nothing will happen. If he can't resist the temptation, then we'll just take action and deal with him too. If he can resist the temptation, then naturally everyone will be happy."

"However, none of us can help him now. We can only see if his will is firm and whether he can see through the illusion created by the Holy Grail."
