Bab 34: The Holy Grail II
"this will put an end to it all, and if possible, may be this bloodshed be the last ever."
then Jeanne turn towards Gilles.
"Gilles, can I trust my flag to you?"
"Jeanne?, it can't be?"
"I will use my sword." hearing her words Gilles become surprised and feel even more saddened.
"I shall do this for you."
"I forgot to tell you somehting in life, I was happy to fight along side you."
"me too, me too Jeanne."
she then turn towards me.
"thank you Alex."
"because of you I realize that I was almost lost in a sweat dream."
"your the one who saved me from that, so please stay by my side."
"hmm, I can finally see Jeanne being honest towards me."
she then showed a gentle smile.
Shirou than summoned 3 giants.
seeing this Gilles was standing in front of the Giant shielding Jeanne and me from being attack while holding Jeanne flag.
while Jeanne was chanting
"The heavens declare the glory of God"
"The skies proclaim the work of His hands"
"Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge"
"A fire has ignited within my heart and continuously burn to remind me."
the giant then tried to attack Jeanne but was stopped by Gilles.
"NO, don't think I will fall before her prayer end."
Jeanne voice then continue to rang.
"This is where I meet my end"
"My destiny now runs it course"
"My life's dream has reached its conclusion"
"Utilizing the last thing I have left at my disposal"
"I fight to protect the path He must walk"
"O Lord, I entrust this body to you"
while she was chanting a ring of fire was forming around us after her final words fell, A tornado of flame covered both her and I.
the flame then covered myself and when I realize I was standing behind her, the surrounding started to change and become subtle.
'I was a bit scared.'
'not of dying, but of being separated.'
....
she then turn around and smiled to me, when I see that I moved my lips and said something, even though there's no sound coming it seems she understood what I said and the smile become more vibrant and energetic.
after that the surrounding started to return back to normal, Jeanne cloth has change from a dark blue color into a pure white centric theme, her long braided her become undone and her golden hair started unfurl and flowed beutifully.
"Hope lies beyond Despair."
"you want to destroy the holy grail too."
"La Pucelle." the pommel of Jeanne sword started to bloom like flower, and flame started to flow out from it and aim towards the grail.
"I won't let you." while saying that he orders the giants he created to stop the flames, but the giants were eaten by the flame, while he sent one of them to attack Jeanne, seeing this I reacted and destroyed it with the dagger I used to summon Gramps with, it seems I finally returned back where I start.
"don't underestimate me Saint, my will has been forged for Sixty years."
seeing the flame coming, Shirou than activated his noble phantasm by cutting his right hand turning it into a black hole that devour the incoming flame, both side struggle one was devouring the flame stopping it from touching the grail, while the other was sending huge amount of flame to destroy it.
"swallowed the flame, Star of Destruction."
"Ghhhhahh....."
the Star of Destruction keep swallowing the flame from Jeanne, it slowly grow bigger and bigger until finally a huge explosion occur from that blinded the room and burst through the the wall of the Hanging Garden of Babylon.
BOOM !!!!!!
BLIP !!!!!
"are you fine, master?"
"what of the Grail?"
Shirou then look towards the Grail seeing it was only slightly damage.
not far from there was Alex holding Jeanne in a Princess carry.
"Jeanne..."
"don't be sad Alex, thank you for giving me the experience that I never had, we will meet again I promised."
"Yeah, you don't need to wait for long, I will come and find you."
she then closed her eyes while her body started to shine, and countless light started floating away and leaving Leaticia body.
I then walk towards the one of the pillar and slowly put Leaticia body and let her rest there.
I then slowly turn towards Shirou.
"I have no quarrel with you."
"well then I do."
not long after I heard a sound of a birds cry.
it seems not only Astolfo was carrying Sieg, but he also brought along Modred and Kairi.
all of them landed beside me.
"Kairi head towards the grail, it is enough to grant your small wishes, and Sieg you also go inside, I have unsettled business, and Astolfo please take care of Leaticia for me."
hearing this Kairi understood the situation and drag Sieg and Modred along with him, and astolfo also started to pick up Leaticia then distancing himself from my location.
"you don't think you can beat me alone can you?"
"let's just see about that."
"the winner of this fight will get it all, a suitable end for a Holy Grail War indeed."
"my true name is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada." he then draw his sword from hi sheath.
"Grim Reaper." I took out and extra dagger from my back and seeing this both of us started to slowly run towards each other.
both of us then clashed, my daggers and his sword sent sparks flying from our confrontation, I tried to activate Magia Erebea but my body seems to reject it since I can feel a stinging pain the moment I tried to absorb and assimilate with the mana towards my body.
I can only enhance my body with enhancing magic to the limit, forcing it to damage my body.
both Shirou and I tried to push each other back.
he then push me back and chassed me while sending attack after attack, while I can only keep up by defending by catching his attack with my dagger.
"don't underestimate me, I have been through far worse than this, SET." his attack then push me far away and a group of magic circle started to appear.
the magic circle than Aim towards me firing a group of swords towards my location, but slowly as time passes on our fight my eyes become able to see his movement, seeing this I decide not to dodge but to rush towards his location and appear in front of him and kick him in his stomach.
this action surprised him allowing the attack to directly hit him sending him flying, seeing this I took the chance to rush, Shirou immediately stabilized himself on one of the protruding pillar and jump towards me, both of us took this chance to finish each other of, I cut his remaining arm that holds his sword while he tried to cut my neck of, but because of my attack landed first his attack shifted and resulting in cutting of my left arm.
both of us landed, I covered my injured right arm and turn to look at Shirou who is now laying on the floor.
"it seems I won."
"yes, so it seems, but it is useless the Grail have activated, your anger towards me is useless, you can't stop it."
"is that so?, I need to continue on, I have a promised to keep, Goodbye Amakusa Shirou Tokisada."
I then walked slowly towards the entrance of the Grail and slowly disappearing into it.
