A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 507 The cruel truth

Five minutes later, Lin Yi flew down with Gilgamesh's body. Below were Rin Tohsaka who was jumping with joy and waving his hands, and Shiro Emiya and Illya who were unconscious by the big tree.

"Sure enough, you won!"

Looking at Lin Yi falling from the sky, Tohsaka Rin's face was full of joy.

Lin Yi smiled, and controlled Gilgamesh's body to be placed on the ground.

"I told you a long time ago, as long as I have enough magic power, I am invincible!"

"..."

Rin Tohsaka's face froze, and then he spread his hands as if remembering something, revealing only four magic gems left in his hand, one of which was far dimmer than the other three, obviously consumed a lot.

'Plenty of magic...'

Rin Tohsaka sighed slightly, just now she was sure that it was Lin Yi who won, because the magic gem in her hand was consumed again, but...

"Isn't this consuming too much?"

"No way, who let me run into a real stubble!"

Lin Yi turned to look at Gilgamesh's body, while Tohsaka Rin looked at Lin Yi with complicated eyes.

That's right, Gilgamesh's title as the oldest hero-king is indeed terrifying, but Lin Yi, who can defeat Gilgamesh head-on, is obviously even more shocking.

Such a powerful heroic spirit has no legend left in the world, really...

Rin Tohsaka suddenly said, "Can you tell me your story now?"

"..." Lin Yi glanced at her in surprise, smiled and shook his head after thinking about it, "Let's wait until the matter is completely over."

Rin Tohsaka was a little surprised: "Isn't it over yet?"

"Of course." Lin Yi nodded slightly.

At this time, a whistling wind came from behind, and Rin Tosaka turned his head quickly, only to see a silver figure rushing from the land behind, and appeared beside the two in just a few breaths.

"Saber, it's great that you're alright!"

Rin Tohsaka held Saber's hand without hesitation, his eyes were full of joy.

If it was before Gilgamesh told the truth, Tohsaka Rin would definitely be on guard against Saber, but now they all know the fact that the Holy Grail is polluted, there is no reason for disputes, and naturally there is no need to regard each other as enemies.

Saber also showed a smile on her face, and looked past Rin Tohsaka to Emiya Shirou who was leaning against the tree unconscious.

"Rin, I thank you on Shirou's behalf."

"What are you talking about, I also want to thank you for Yi! He was able to defeat this guy, you must have contributed a lot, right?" Tohsaka Rin smiled indifferently.

It took a lot of effort...

Saber suddenly looked weird, hesitating whether to tell Tohsaka Rin what she didn't help, but before she could speak, Lin Yi smiled before her, and told Tohsaka his thoughts and plans Rin Saka.

The first time I heard about Lin Yi's plan to summon the Holy Grail, Tohsaka Rin was as shocked as Saber, but when he heard that he said later that he would destroy the Holy Grail, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but bow his head and meditate.

Lin Yi and Saber watched her silently, waiting for her to make a decision.

No way, with their two magic power reserves now, it is difficult to use the ultimate tricks such as Phantom Sword Dance or Ex Curry Stick. If you want to destroy the Holy Grail, you must rely on the power of Rin Tosaka and the Command Seal.

After a long time, Tohsaka Rin raised his head as if he had made a decision.

"Yi... are you sure?"

"of course."

There was a confident smile on Lin Yi's face, of course he was confident, even if his skills couldn't destroy the Holy Grail, wouldn't there still be a Saber?
Anyway, the Holy Grail in the original book was killed by Saber, at worst, let him return to the original plot.

But it's a pity that Shen Er Matou has died under the ruins. The Shen Cup in the original plot should not appear, but it doesn't matter, because Lin Yi has found a more suitable container...

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but glanced at the dead Gilgamesh at his feet, and secretly apologized in his heart.

Seeing Lin Yi's full confidence, Tohsaka Rin pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind, and said firmly, "Okay! Then let's go to church now!"

Lin Yi frowned suddenly: "Wait, why do you want to go to church?"

Rin Tohsaka was taken aback when he heard the words: "Didn't you say you want to summon the Holy Grail?"

"Whoever told you that summoning the Holy Grail must require the Church!"

Lin Yi shook his head and said sternly: "Rin, don't you understand? It's just their lies that summoning the Holy Grail requires rituals or something. To some extent, the Holy Grail does not need to be summoned at all, because it has been It came before the war began!"

"Huh?" Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened in surprise.

Saber also frowned tightly: "How is this possible? If the Holy Grail has already descended, then why hold this ceremony called the Holy Grail War, isn't it superfluous?"

Rin Tohsaka also nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Yi in bewilderment.

Lin Yi sighed softly, and looked down at Gilgamesh at his feet: "During the battle just now, this guy told me everything, and he said that the group would prepare the Holy Grail first every time." , and then summon seven Servants, not for the Holy Grail itself, but for its contents..."

Rin Tohsaka was startled again, and frowned tightly after recovering.

"The contents of the Holy Grail, those curses?"

"It wasn't a curse in the first place."

Lin Yi shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Although the magicians made the Holy Grail, they didn't prepare the contents. Therefore, if you want to use the power of the Holy Grail, you must first summon the contents."

"Summon... Contents..."

Saber looked at Lin Yi blankly.

Rin Tohsaka seemed to have thought of something, his blue pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Lin Yi and Saber's faces in disbelief.

"You mean, the goal of the Holy Grail War is actually you?!"

"Yes."

Lin Yi sighed: "The highest purity magic power used to fill the Holy Grail is the guardians on the Seat of Heroes. Those souls who are called the strongest are the contents of the Holy Grail they most desire. As long as there are six With the souls of heroic spirits as fillers, the power of the Holy Grail may truly achieve the effect of the universal wishing machine..."

"……how so?"

Rin Tohsaka froze in place muttering to himself, apparently unable to accept the cruel truth behind the Holy Grail War.

Because Saber had already suffered one blow, facing the second blow, she quickly calmed down, instead she frowned and asked in doubt: "If this is really the case, why is the Holy Grail polluted?"

"This will involve the heroic spirit of the last special class."

Lin Yi said calmly: "During the third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family summoned the first special class that does not belong to the basic seven classes, Avenger, whose real name is Angola Mainyu , that is, the head of the dark evil god in Persian mythology, representing the terrifying existence of absolute evil."

"Is he the one who polluted the Holy Grail?"

"Yes and no."

Lin Yi shook his head: "As a demon god that symbolizes all the evils in this world, Angola Mainyu should not be able to be summoned, so the one that was really summoned was the one that really existed in history. In the name of the evil god 'Angola Mainyu', human beings who have to bear the burden of 'all the evils of this world'."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka and Saber looked at each other, their brows were tightly frowned, obviously they must have remembered some similar well-known events in European history.

Lin Yi sighed, and continued: "Because he is not a heroic spirit created by himself or the wishes of his surroundings, Angora Mainu only strengthened the specialized skills for killing and killing humans, so his strength is very weak."

"But when he died, the soul carrying 'all the evils of this world' entered the Holy Grail, completely polluting the magic power in the entire Holy Grail. Since then, the Holy Grail is no longer the original Holy Grail..."

"So that's how it is..."

A dazed look appeared on Saber's face.

Rin Tohsaka smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No wonder this guy said that the Holy Grail contains billions of curses. No wonder these curses specialize in the ability to curse and kill humans. It turns out that humans are all to blame."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka's bitter self-deprecating words, Saber was slightly taken aback, then looked at Lin Yi as if remembering something, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Yi, did Archer tell you these too?"

"Not really."

Lin Yi shook his head very simply.

"……what?"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly came back to his senses, looking at Lin Yi with a smile on his face in surprise, and after pondering for a while, his face suddenly became dazed, and he didn't know what he had imagined.

Saber seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at Lin Yi thoughtfully.

Lin Yi smiled and said nothing. He didn't continue the topic, nor did he explain further. He just waved his hand and wrapped Gilgamesh's body with sword qi, and then turned into a silver cocoon one person tall and floated behind him.

"Let's go, first go back to Wei Gong's boy's house."

"Ah?" Tohsaka Rin was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you going to summon the Holy Grail?"

"Let's settle Xiaoying's affairs first." Lin Yi sighed, "After all, I don't know if I can come back after this trip..."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka fell silent when he heard the words.

Saber also nodded: "Go and settle down Sakura and Shirou first..."

Saying that, Saber's tone paused, and her eyes fell on the unconscious Illya with some confusion: "And... that little girl."

……

……

early morning.

Tohsaka Rin took advantage of the night to enter the residence of the Emiya family, and carefully explored the situation in the house. After finding that Fujimura was not at home, he was relieved, and quickly beckoned Lin Yi and Saber to send Emiya Shirou and Illya into the house.

"elder sister?"

A suspicious voice suddenly came, Rin Tohsaka froze immediately, turned his neck mechanically, and looked at the purple-haired girl in an apron with a puzzled face at the kitchen door.

"...Sakura, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Ah, because Mr. Fujimura went to the urban area for a meeting, there was no one at home, and you didn't come back, I was a little worried, so I thought about doing housekeeping while waiting for you, but I accidentally fell asleep in the kitchen. I know that I was just given by your voice—"

Sakura's voice stopped abruptly, and instead she exclaimed, she threw down her gloves and greeted Saber behind, or the unconscious Emiya Shirou on Saber's back.

"Senior Emiya!"

Sakura nervously checked Emiya Shirou's breath, and was relieved when he found that his life was not in danger.

"Saber, what's going on, have you been attacked again?"

"That's a long story..."

Rin Tohsaka sighed slightly.
