"Destroying the Holy Grail... No matter how I hear it, it's too exaggerated."
At night, in the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka said this with a sigh, looking at Arthas and Yozakura, who were sitting in front of her.
She didn't know why, but she had believed Arthas's words and let two enemies, who she should have treated with caution, into her home.
Ahhh... Anyway, she wasn't a match for this guy.
This guy was someone who had faced the strongest golden Heroic Spirit head-on in the last Holy Grail War.
Thinking this, Rin Tohsaka let out a helpless sigh.
"Okay, even if everything you said is true, and the Holy Grail has been contaminated by malice, becoming something that grants wishes with the greatest evil intentions, it's still the Key to the Root, a product of the rules. How could we mortals possibly destroy it?"
Rin Tohsaka said this, looking at Arthas and waiting for his explanation.
They were just a group of mages. What they used couldn't even be considered magic.
Even Heroic Spirits as powerful as that were helpless against the Holy Grail. What could they do?
"You don't have to worry about that at all. You just need to take me to the place where the leylines of Fuyuki City converge. I'll take care of the rest."
"Is that so..."
Although she still had some doubts in her heart, Arthas was so confident, so Rin Tohsaka couldn't say anything.
"Well then... Come with me."
Saying this, Arthas and Yozakura both nodded. The three of them took advantage of the night to leave the town and head towards the mountains.
The leylines of Fuyuki City were located in a dilapidated temple in the mountains.
Because of the impact of the last war, this place had been abandoned for many years.
Visiting it at night, it had to be said, made people feel a little eerie.
"The leylines of Fuyuki City are right below here. The Greater Grail... should also be here."
Saying this while leading the way, Rin Tohsaka suddenly stopped. The girl looked at the man who had appeared before her with a slight daze.
"It's you... Have you descended as a Servant in this Holy Grail War once again?"
Looking at the Servant who had killed her father, Rin Tohsaka lowered her voice, saying this with deep-seated hatred.
"Show some respect, you mongrel. What's in front of you now isn't some ethereal phantom, but the real Hero King!"
Saying this arrogantly, the man dressed in a black leather jacket said this arrogantly.
He was the Servant who had been killed by Arthas in the last Holy Grail War, the famous Hero King Gilgamesh.
The sudden appearance of this man did surprise Rin Tohsaka somewhat, but thinking that it wasn't impossible for him to be summoned again, she didn't care too much.
What the girl felt more was anger towards this golden Heroic Spirit, anger that this man had betrayed her father.
"You've obtained a body?"
Rin Tohsaka and Yozakura didn't know what Gilgamesh was talking about, but Arthas was the first to notice the difference in the golden Heroic Spirit before him.
Or rather, it wasn't appropriate to call him a Heroic Spirit anymore. Standing before them now was the living, breathing Gilgamesh himself.
"How is that possible... Could it be that he was the ultimate victor in the last Holy Grail War, so he used the Holy Grail to wish for a body?!"
Rin Tohsaka showed a look of disbelief, while Arthas fell into thought.
He didn't remember what exactly had happened at the end of the last war.
He only remembered that the two of them had been swallowed by the black mud overflowing from the Holy Grail, and then Arthas had left this world.
At that time, he hadn't confirmed Gilgamesh's life or death. He had just instinctively felt that he had left the stage. It seemed that it was at that time that he had mistakenly obtained his body?
Hmph, I still remember that miserable defeat last time. I originally thought that you had died, but to think that you didn't die either.
It's really heaven helping me, giving me a chance to take revenge with my own hands!
Saying this with a violent tone, Gilgamesh's scarlet eyes stared at Arthas cruelly. Then, a golden light unfolded from behind him.
"After a long separation, let's fight again. This time, I'll tear you into pieces!"
Gilgamesh roared this. In the next second, countless swords were thrown towards Arthas and the two girls.
Rin Tohsaka closed her eyes in fear, and Yozakura also nervously grabbed Arthas's sleeve.
However, facing the countless deadly blades that were coming at them, Arthas just smiled indifferently.
In the Holy Grail War ten years ago, he needed to give it his all to barely contend with the King of Heroes before him. But now...
He raised one hand slightly. In the next second, a bone-chilling coldness filled the entire area.
The speed of the Noble Phantasms that were rapidly shooting towards the three of them visibly slowed down, and then were covered with a layer of faint frost.
"Wh... How is that possible? You mongrel... You?!"
Roaring this with disbelief, Gilgamesh, along with his Noble Phantasms, was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Alright, that's settled. Let's go in."
Casually resolving Gilgamesh, Arthas smiled lightly and waved at the two dazed girls behind him, and then walked in first.
"Re... Resolved? The strongest Heroic Spirit was just that easily..."
Saying this tremblingly, Rin Tohsaka was quite chilled by the cold air, even though she had only been affected by it.
"Father is still so amazing."
Because she had grown up in the Einzbern and had also learned ice magic, Yozakura's resistance to this cold air was not bad.
Soon, the two girls stopped thinking too much and followed Arthas to the place where the leylines of Fuyuki City were located underground.
"This... This is where the leylines of Fuyuki City are. The Greater Grail is inside."
Looking with awe at the huge magical power fluctuations before her, Rin Tohsaka said this.
"What do you want to do... This kind of power is something that humans can't contend with."
"When did I say that I was a human?" Chuckling lightly, Arthas said this without a care.
Even the Gaia and Alaya of this world weren't his opponents, let alone a mass of power without its own consciousness.
Repeating what he had done before, he reached out his hand, and a terrifying cold air spread out. Then, to Rin Tohsaka's astonishment, the entire leyline was frozen into an ice pillar.
"That way... this farce can finally come to an end."
Sighing this softly, Arthas then exerted a little force on his palm. In the next second, the entire huge ice pillar fell apart.
Just like that... it shattered, the leylines and the Greater Grail?!
The destiny of the Tohsaka family for so many years... had just disappeared like that?
