Wan Di (fatezreo): 14: I'm going to take on ten of them!!!
The appearance of the Gemstone Elder did not change Wan Di's plans.
It's just that Sakura's teacher has changed from one to another; otherwise, nothing has changed.
That night, this time, Wan Di did not lull Sakura to sleep, but instead led her toward the Einzbern family's stronghold.
Wan Di plans to end the Holy Grail War immediately after helping his wife change her body, since at this stage, there's no need to continue the Holy Grail War.
With his strength, ending the Holy Grail War in one night would be no problem at all.
As for Sakura, since she promised the child, she might as well take him with her. After all, with her overwhelming strength, protecting him would only be a minor distraction.
Of all the Servants currently available, only Gilgamesh, who uses Ea, can pose a threat to Wan Di, but Wan Di also has corresponding countermeasures.
"Brother... Won't Sakura become a burden?"
Although Sakura spoke eloquently during the day, she became somewhat insecure at night.
"Don't worry, it's just a small problem, nothing to be afraid of. Sakura, just trust me."
Wan Di waved his hand and then vigorously rubbed the little guy's fluffy head.
The two didn't seem to be going out for a life-or-death duel; rather, they seemed to be visiting each other late at night after dinner with nothing else to do.
As the Holy Grail War progressed further, Kiritsugu Emiya and his companions moved away from the castle, which was far from the city, and instead settled in an old house in Fuyuki City.
"What a pity, this little courtyard... If I could, I really would like to live here with Kiritsugu, but unfortunately, we don't have much time left..."
Irisviel looked at the small courtyard with a hint of regret on her face.
Saber, standing to the side, looked at Alice, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Some things are destined, and even if she is a follower, she is destined not to change them.
"Since you want to stay, then stay, provided you cooperate with my actions."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Wan Di's voice appeared behind them.
In an instant, Artoria gripped the hilt of her sword and looked at Wan Di, but due to the injury on her fingers, her thumb had not yet healed.
At the same time, Artoria was also somewhat surprised, as she did not sense any presence from Wan Di when he came over.
Are you a berserker or an assassin?!
"Berserker, state your purpose, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Looking at Wan Di, Artoria spoke seriously.
At the same time, she gripped the sword hilt tightly with one hand, but couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
If Wan Di really wants to make a move, she absolutely cannot stop him in her current state!
"Where is Kiritsugu Emiya? I know he's here. Let him come over. He's a smart man. With your current fighting strength, there's no way you can defeat me. Also, I advise you not to attack Sakura. You can't hurt her, and you'll only push things to the extreme."
On the surface, it was addressed to Irisviel, but in reality, Wan'te's words were spoken to Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding in the shadows.
Upon hearing Wan Di's words, Emiya Kiritsugu silently lowered his weapon.
He understood that Wan Di was right. After learning about the opponent's strength, Emiya Kiritsugu also made a choice: he decided to see what the opponent wanted to see first.
"what's the matter?"
A short while later, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding in the shadows, walked into the courtyard. He subtly shielded Irisviel behind him, while keeping his arm in a position where he could quickly draw his gun.
"Simple. I'll prepare a new body for your wife so she won't have to be offered as a sacrifice to the Holy Grail. But the price is that you both withdraw from the Holy Grail struggle. How about it? From now on, you can live a peaceful life with your wife and children. What do you say, Emiya Kiritsugu?"
"no!"
The moment the words left his mouth, before Kiritsugu Emiya could speak, Irisviel and Artoria said in unison.
"This has always been Kiritsugu's dream, so we will not give up!"
"No one can change my mind. I will definitely achieve the goals I have set my mind on."
Both of them gave their own answers.
Irisviel clearly values Kiritsugu Emiya more than her own life. As for Saber, her long-held obsession has made her let go of it, but she certainly won't let go of it anytime soon.
"What if I told you that the Holy Grail has been corrupted and cannot grant your wishes?"
Wan Di shrugged.
"What? What's going on?"
Kiritsugu Emiya, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up.
"In the last Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family, seeking victory, summoned an Avenger Heroic Spirit of an unconventional class, Angra Mainyu. However, the Heroic Spirit they summoned was merely a weak individual. After being defeated, his resentment corrupted the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail still grants wishes now, but because of the presence of malice, its methods of granting wishes have become extremely extreme. For example, if you wish for world peace, it will choose to kill all of humanity in the world."
Wan Di shrugged: "What I said is all recorded in your Einzbern family, so it should be verifiable. By the way, during the day, I met Jewel Mage. As magicians, you should be familiar with this name. He came here for the Holy Grail, but we made a deal. I'll help him with the Holy Grail, and he'll do me a favor."
"Gemstone Elder! How is this possible!"
Irisviel couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The appearance of such a legendary figure here was truly astonishing. Even though Irisviel was usually quite composed, she was momentarily stunned.
"I agree to your terms, but I won't completely trust you."
After a long silence, Kiritsugu Emiya finally spoke with some difficulty.
"Of course, I won't keep you waiting too long. As for Mrs. Irisviel, come with me. I will prepare a ritual for you and give you a new body. As for your old body, it will become the vessel for the Holy Grail's descent."
"Do you really have a way to save Alice?"
Kiritsugu Emiya said with a somewhat uncertain expression.
He's never heard of such a thing in all these years.
Why would I lie to you?
Wan Di curled his lip, and then led Irisviel to the room.
As for Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber, they stood a short distance away, looking somewhat nervous.
Sakura, on the other hand, kept her eyes fixed intently on Wan Di without saying a word.
Of course, Wan Di wasn't afraid that Kiritsugu Emiya would take Sakura hostage at this moment, since he had a backup plan with Sakura.
However, Kiritsugu Emiya wasn't that foolish. After all, his wife was quite close to Wan'e, and at that distance, if Wan'e made a move, Irisviel would surely perish in an instant.
The next moment, Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes widened.
Inside the room, Wan Di did nothing but wave his hand, and a body slowly appeared.
Most surprisingly, this body looks exactly like Irisviel's, the only difference being that the current body has its eyes closed, like a sleeping princess.
Looking at the body, Wan Di breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the system was quite humane; the body it created was clothed. Otherwise, this would have been rather awkward, although letting his savior see it wouldn't have been a loss...
[The system detected the owner's emotions and will change its behavior accordingly. The next time the owner uses this function, the system will remove the owner's clothes.]
"No, I was just thinking about it, you don't need to take it to heart."
Looking at the words that appeared in the system in front of him, Wan Di twitched his lips.
The whole process was incredibly fast, taking only a few seconds. Irisviel, who was lying on the ground, lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she found that she had a different body. Compared to her original body, this body was incredibly powerful. Irisviel had just woken up and could only sense that the magic power in her body was much greater than before. She had not noticed anything else.
"Is this... the end?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was somewhat shocked by what he saw.
When did changing bodies become so easy?
"Congratulations, Alice."
Artoria, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene, though the smile looked somewhat forced.
It wasn't because of Ellie, but because her long-held goal had been shattered.
Since the Holy Grail is unusable, she has lost the motivation to participate in the Holy Grail War.
"Don't look so gloomy. Things aren't entirely hopeless. Maybe the Holy Grail can be restored. If it really can, I might as well be merciful and give it to you. Anyway, this thing is of no use to me."
Wan Di couldn't stand seeing a woman with that kind of expression, so he immediately pouted and said...
"Alright, let's pack up and head to Ryudong Temple. I'm going to put an end to this farce tonight."
As Wan Di spoke, he led Sakura toward Ryudouji Temple.
That is also where the Holy Grail will descend.
This time, Wan Di did not hold back and unleashed his full power.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over the entire city of Fuyuki, and everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
For the Servants, this aura was as dazzling as a fire in the night.
After Wan Di brought Sakura to Ryudouji Temple, the other Masters soon followed.
"Berserker, what is the meaning of releasing such an aura? Do you want to become the target of our attacks?"
The first to arrive was Lancer, Diarmuid, who frowned upon seeing Wan Di.
"It's you, you unlucky bastard. But I'm not your enemy today."
Wan Di raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
"Who are you calling an unlucky guy!"
Diarmuid made a quick remark, but the next thing he saw was Saber walking towards him with her sword.
Since her identity had already been exposed, Saber did not disguise herself, but instead walked directly toward the crowd, carrying the golden gleaming sword in her hand.
"Lancer, I've come to keep our appointment. Let's finish our duel right here."
Artoria looked at Diarmuid with a serious expression and said.
"Oh? It seems you two have teamed up. But it doesn't matter. Since you're willing, I'll deal with you first, and then present my victory to my lord!"
Diarmuid smiled and, with that, charged straight at Artoria, carrying two spears.
Knowing that Artoria was injured, Diarmuid launched a powerful slash at her.
In Diarmuid's memory, Artoria was injured and it would be difficult for her to fight him head-on. However, in the instant of their clash, Diarmuid noticed something was wrong.
