Chapter 522 Purifying the Black Mud
At this moment, the golden Holy Grail suddenly dimmed.
It lost its sanctity in an instant, and a completely evil aura wafted out.
At the bottom of the holy grail, sticky black and red mud gradually emerged.
The mud seemed to be filled with malicious sinful blood.
When they overflowed the Holy Grail and flowed down the body of the cup, the entire Ryudo Temple was shrouded in tremendous malice.
“Lejuedo…” Eri quietly grabbed Leon’s wrist.
She took out the stick of courage, looked at Leon, and suggested with her eyes that she should take action.
She has read the story of "Fate" many times.
Knowing that the black mud in the Lesser Holy Grail comes from the Greater Holy Grail, it is "all the evil in this world".
When two holy grails are connected.
The evil of this world inside the Holy Grail found an outlet and began to flow into reality.
The evil in this world is endless, and the black mud is also endless, and will eventually swallow up the entire world.
And at this time, of course, it is time for the full moon light wave to appear!
That’s right, I, Eri, am a full moon light wave fanatic!
And even if the full moon light wave doesn't work, she still has the Moon Goddess Purification to use.
"I told you to call me Leon. If you want to do something, go ahead." Leon patted Eri's head.
Eri nodded and turned to walk towards the torii gate at the temple's mountain gate.
Illya, who was worried about Kiritsugu's father, noticed her: "Um... what are you going to do, big sister?"
"Illya." Eri paused slightly, and there was a seriousness in her indifferent expression that Illya could not understand.
She whispered, "Have you ever seen the light?"
"Hey, Guang?" Illya shook her head in a baby voice.
Eri didn't answer, but raised the stick of courage high.
In the pitch-black night covered by black clouds, a bright light burst out and a blue-silver giant stood out.
Illya opened her mouth wide: "Big sister, she turned into a giant!"
After he finished speaking, the nearly fifty-meter-tall giant waved his hand at Illya.
Leon helped her translate: "Eri is saying, it's not a giant, it's light."
"Light?" Illyasviel seemed to understand.
The next moment, Eri raised her hand and drew a circle, releasing a full moon light wave towards the hole in the sky, and the light tore through the darkness of Fuyuki.
Now Illya understood, this was the light, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Things that may seem childish to adults are just right for Illya at this age, passionate but not brain-damaging.
Eri's full moon light waves are very stylish.
The brilliant light flashed across the sky of half the city like a torch, illuminating the entire night.
The brightness is comparable to a flare of 500,000 or 600,000 lumens.
When the person in charge of concealing the mysterious information in the church starts making up false excuses tomorrow, he will probably have such a headache that half his hair will fall off.
It's a pity that although the full moon light is bright, it has no special attack effect on "The Evil of This World".
The light shining into the giant hole in the sky only caused the hole to begin to shake.
Eri quickly stopped.
She raised her hand and drew a circle again, this time unleashing the Moon Goddess's Purifying Ray.
Colorful light cut into the hole, and a moment later, countless tiny spots of light burst out of the hole.
Those points of light are all the evils of this world that were separated from the Greater Holy Grail.
Eri's light worked.
The sky, which had become cloudy due to the appearance of the hole, gradually became clear again.
The Greater Holy Grail carries all the evil in this world.
Obviously it cannot resist the rays of the moon.
Faintly, there seemed to be an unwilling roar coming from the hole.
As Eri continued to release light, the roar became weaker and weaker.
At one point, Illya broke free from Irisviel's arms and shouted to Eri, "Come on, big sister!"
That's when.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Altria opened their eyes at the same time.
Their spirits were kicked out by the Holy Grail.
After a brief moment of daze, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression became extremely dejected, and his already gloomy eyes turned into dark holes without any light.
Altria's face was filled with despair, and the Sword of Oath in her hand, which was made invisible by the Wind King's barrier, fell to the ground with a clang.
Apparently, both got the worst answers in the Holy Grail.
Irisviel and her daughter ran to Emiya Kiritsugu and supported him.
No one cared about Altria, who knelt on the ground exhausted.
"Even the Holy Grail...can't save Britain..." Her voice was hoarse and trembling.
Leon couldn't help but ask: "What did you see in the Holy Grail?"
"In order to keep Britain alive... the Holy Grail killed all humans except Britain. In order to avoid civil strife... the Holy Grail killed everyone in Britain, leaving only Guinevere and I."
Altria's face was hidden in the shadow of her hair.
"That's the solution the Black Mud Holy Grail would give. But why should I be sad? I've already said that it's a contaminated Holy Grail."
Leon said, "Once the Holy Grail is completely purified by Eri, you can make wishes normally."
"Purification?" Artoria and Emiya Kiritsugu raised their heads at the same time, their hope rekindled.
"Eri...where is the Master?"
Altria hurriedly looked up, searching for Eri.
"Over there." Leon pointed to the giant who was standing at the entrance of the temple, walking on the mountain road and continuously releasing light towards the hole.
"Ah... this... Master?" Altria was stunned.
"Just wait a little longer." Lyon said with a smile.
But he changed the topic again.
"However, even if the Holy Grail is intact, it may not be able to fulfill your wishes."
"The so-called fulfillment of wishes is nothing more than using the large amount of magic power stored in the Holy Grail to stabilize the hole that connects it to the source, and then fulfill your wish in the way you know."
"Saber, you want to save Britain and replace it with a king who is more suitable than you."
"This wish is more practical. The Holy Grail can help you travel through time or parallel worlds."
"But Kiritsugu, you want to achieve world peace. To be honest, even you yourself don't know what peace is. It's impossible to achieve such a wish even if you throw it to the Holy Grail."
"The true function of the Holy Grail is to reach the source."
Leon said calmly: "The root is the Akashic Record of the universe, which records the cause and end of all things. It is the highest pursuit of magicians."
Altria stared at Leon in a daze: "So it's not that you don't have a wish, you want to use the Holy Grail to reach the root?"
“In fact, it is also possible without the help of the Holy Grail.” Leon smiled, “But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It is better to follow the locals’ way of doing things.”
While the two were talking, Eri also finished purifying the Greater Holy Grail.
The sky became clear again with a sparse moon and stars.
The deep hole still hangs high above Fuyuki City.
But there is no longer any smell of sin, but instead it is filled with mystery.
"just!"
Eri slowly withdrew her hands, put her hands on her hips like all Ultramen, and prepared to transform back into a human form.
However, at this time, the Masters and Heroic Spirits who came from various areas of Fuyuki City finally arrived.
"Miscellaneous cultivators! Who allowed you to steal my treasures without permission? The crime of theft shall be paid for with your death!"
Gilgamesh stood at the front of the golden treasure. Before he arrived, the arrogant and domineering voice arrived first.
Another heroic voice followed closely behind.
"Oh my! Someone has actually summoned the Holy Grail right now?" The King of Conquerors arrived at the scene with his Master driving a Noble Phantasm.
Except for these two parties.
In the dark, Hassan, a man of a hundred appearances, was approaching from the woods.
Outside the temple's gate, Lancelot just arrived, and even the old bug Matou Zouken was hiding in the dark.
The Holy Grail War, which was originally scheduled to begin more than half a year later, seems to be about to begin early.
