As the ultimate divine weapon, the Holy Sword will not be tainted by the black mud; it will only change according to its master.
“If we continue to let this black mud spread, Fuyuki City will soon be destroyed, and then the disaster will spread to the whole world.”
Shirou looked into the girl's glassy eyes.
"Therefore, the 'hole' in the sky must be destroyed, so that the overflow of 'all the evil in this world' can be stopped."
Seeing Shirou's gaze, Saber's eyes flickered, and then she nodded firmly.
"oh, I understand now!"
If the twelve Knights of the Round Table were present, they would probably have done the same.
Thinking of this, Saber's mind flashed back to all the past events, the scenes of fighting alongside her knights, which brought a smile to her lips.
Then, she raised the "Excalibur" sword in her hand.
The light continued to converge, and the magic in the atmosphere was quickly drained away, as if the air itself had frozen at that moment.
"EX————calibur!!!" (Excalibur)
With Saber's shout, the golden holy sword, radiating dazzling light, transformed into a terrifying beam of light, carrying Saber's rage as it shot into the sky!
boom------!
In that instant, struck by the immense energy of the holy sword, the 'hole' that was about to pour out black mud was directly destroyed.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire Yuanzang Mountain.
After Saber destroyed the 'hole' in the sky, the golden Holy Grail placed on the pedestal inside Ryudou Temple gradually began to dim due to the disappearance of the 'hole'.
The golden Holy Grail, amidst the blazing heat, silently lost its form and then vanished.
Saber closed her eyes, unwilling to face the scene—she feared she would lose control and retract her Noble Phantasm.
"That will completely end it."
Shirou looked at the girl, whose ethereal magic was fading and whose supply of the Holy Grail's main source of magic had been cut off. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Saber's heart, like the lost Holy Grail, has lost its original beliefs. What she wants now is not empty comfort.
As Shirou gazed at Saber, who had upheld the spirit of chivalry from beginning to end, his eyes involuntarily reflected the girl's face.
In the end, the petite girl used her slender hands to raise the sword and save everything, but she could not save herself.
Is this really the right ending?
Even though he heard the notification that the 'main quest' was completed, Shirou couldn't feel happy at all.
"Goodbye, Shirou. These past few days with you have been a wonderful dream for me."
The girl, about to disappear, said goodbye to Shirou with a serene smile.
Unable to let go, she might return to that place.
They lingered on the hill of Camlann, stained with blood and fire, forever.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly welled up in Shirou's mind and grew stronger and stronger.
“Saber, although the Holy Grail is currently tainted by ‘all the evils of this world,’ if I find a way to purify it… I cannot be certain whether the true Holy Grail can fulfill your wish, but would you like to see the true Holy Grail?”
Shirou's statement was not without basis.
He will not stay in this world; he will go on to experience various worlds. And in those endless worlds, there must exist some kind of power that can eliminate 'all the evil of this world' from the Holy Grail.
Her breathing became rapid, and the hope she had planned to bury deep in her heart was rekindled by the boy's words.
"Is there really... a way to do this?"
"I will try my best."
Shirou answered with a firm gaze.
For Saber, time is different after returning to the past.
Even though Shirou had been wandering in other worlds for several years, when he summoned Saber again, she was still in the same state as when she had just returned to her own time, which is why Shirou was able to answer her in that way.
Having received Shirou's affirmative answer, Saber raised her left hand.
Light surged from her outstretched hand, and a scabbard with intersecting blue and gold patterns appeared in her hand.
"In that case, Shirou, you can take this. You'll need it next time you summon me."
This scabbard was found in this era, so Saber has nothing to be nostalgic about now.
Shirou took the scabbard from Saber's hand, then looked at the increasingly transparent girl and smiled as he spoke.
"We'll see each other again soon, Saber."
Then, the girl with the stunning beauty revealed a genuine and captivating smile for the first time.
"Yes, I'll wait for you... Shirou."

Chapter 77 Irisviel and Illya
[Main Quest "Winning the Holy Grail War" completed, granting one Dimensional Roulette spin!]
[You can choose to start the next world, or continue staying in this world for any amount of time.]
The system's voice rang in his mind, making Shirou understand some things.
Sometimes, an ending is also a beginning.
Shirou understood the true meaning of those words deeply. Looking at the forest under the moonlight, now silent again, he let out a long breath.
"It seems it's time to embark on a new journey for the sake of that promise."
Of course, before that, we also need to make plans for the Fifth Holy Grail War ten years later.
After leaving Mount Enzo, Shirou first went to the Einzbern Castle.
……
This is the last Eindzbern castle, sealed off by ice and snow.
On this day, we were finally freed from the long-awaited wind and snow.
The bright sunshine shone on the earth, and green grass several centimeters high grew on the ground, forming a green carpet.
The trees, standing side by side, have emerged from winter, and the forest, now covered in green, has become lush and verdant.
Under the warm, gentle sunlight, a small figure is moving through the forest.
"Brother, brother, come and play!"
Calling out these words, Ilya excitedly ran across the snow, her little boots trudging through the thick snow with great effort, making cheerful noises as she went.
Shirou stood at the castle gate watching this scene and waved to Illya with a smile.
Irisviel, standing beside Shirou, was also looking at Illya with gentle eyes.
With skin as white as snow, a beautiful and delicate face like a doll, and silver hair cascading down her chest, this woman radiates a maternal glow at all times.
Then, Irisviel looked at Shirou with gratitude.
"It is all thanks to your help that I was able to reunite with Illya again, Shirou."
Irisviel wanted to say something more, but Shirou couldn't take it anymore and gently shook his head.
"...No need for thanks, I happen to need your help with something."
Upon hearing this, Irisviel immediately asked.
"What's going on?"
Shirou looked at Illya in the snow not far away, who was curiously looking around as if she was interested in everything, and his tone was slightly wistful.
"I need to leave here temporarily for some reason, and I hope you can take care of my sister for me for a while."
"I see. What's her name?"
When Irisviel pressed him for an answer, Shirou remained silent for a few seconds before uttering a name.
"Sakura... Orihara Sakura."
This implies that magic will eventually fail, so Shirou plans to find another caregiver for Sakura.
"Is that so? I understand."
It's white.
Irisviel nodded, then smiled with a hint of relief, as if she had just thought of something.
"That way, Ilya will have a playmate too."
"They should get along very well."
With that, Shirou walked toward the tiny snow sprite ahead.
"Brother, please show me the projection again!"
Image: "Cute", Location: "Images/1674017460-100352746-109838329.jpg"
Illya raised her delicate and adorable little face, which resembled that of a porcelain doll, and looked up at Shirou with her bright, watery eyes full of expectation.
"Well, of course."
Shirou smiled and nodded, and then the magical light in his hand shone like stars.
He raised the golden sword that had appeared in his hand like a child, which reflected a dazzling light under the brilliant sunlight.
"Look! This is the legendary sword that King Arthur pulled from the stone! I have more than a thousand swords like this!"
"Wow~!"
Ilya's mouth dropped open as she stared at the sword in surprise, and she even reached out to touch it with curiosity.
"Wow, that's amazing! Brother, do you have any others?"
"Hmph, if you want, I can show you all the swords in history today."
Irisviel watched the two "children" playing in the snow, her cheek resting on her hand, observing them with gentle eyes.
……
After agreeing to Shirou's suggestion, Irisviel decided to take Illya to stay at Einzbern Castle in Fuyuki City.
