Chapter 81: Today in Fuyuki City, It's as

"Waver!"

Finally, watching his Master fall into a crisis, suffering and on the verge of becoming a non-human existence.

Even the heroic Iskandar could not endure it; he roared almost like a wild beast, as if trying to awaken Waver through this.

Although they had only spent a few short days together, he had already acknowledged this Master of his, who was somewhat cowardly but actually very brave and talented.

This Master who said one thing while meaning another, this Master who often lectured him.

"Waver, are you willing to share the joy of conquering the world with me?"

Iskandar looked with cold eyes at Angra Mainyu, who stood there like a statue without a single movement.

Even now, his entire body was filled with the pain of distortion, the pain as if his flesh and blood were being gnawed away.

In this moment of death, Waver used his last ounce of strength to shout.

"I am willing! It is just a pity, Rider, that I cannot accompany you to conquer the world."

"Very good, it seems I have not returned empty-handed from this Holy Grail War after all."

Iskandar nodded with satisfaction, then pulled the reins to make the resting divine bull stand up, before drawing the short sword at his waist and pointing it at 【All the World's Evils】 Angra Mainyu.

"Then, let us launch a magnificent charge against the world-destroying demon!"

The King of Conquerors, Iskandar, roared, sounding the horn of reunion.

"Ah-la-la—"

The scene before their eyes flickered, and the situation changed instantly.

Yellow sand filled the sky.

The red giant holding a short sword, driving the divine bull that trod on thunder, led thousands upon thousands of Heroic Spirits and launched a desperate charge toward Angra Mainyu.

Among them were kings, powerful ministers, nobles, and ordinary soldiers and serfs, but here, they shared a common identity.

The King's Army, which conquered the world alongside Aleksandros ho Megas and attempted to reach the end of the world.

However, 【All the World's Evils】 Angra Mainyu still made no movement, just standing there with his hands clasped in prayer.

Just like a devout nun.

Tens of thousands of troops charged toward that statue-like All the World's Evils.

The army composed of Heroic Spirit Servants surrounded All the World's Evils.

But would things really go as smoothly as Iskandar thought?

On the contrary, it was not 【All the World's Evils】 Angra Mainyu who was surrounded, but Iskandar and his army.

Outside the perimeter of the King's Army, 1.5 million zombies infected with the Blacklight Virus surged in like a tide.

They were agile in their limbs, like crawlers, and also like Blacklight Monsters.

Every part of their bodies was tainted with All the World's Evils and the Blacklight Virus; one only needed to be grazed once.

In an instant, one would turn into their kin.

They were like the undead, immortal and indestructible, tireless, and without a sense of pain.

They had only a living desire for flesh and blood!!

"Rider? I seem to be fine now."

Perhaps this could be considered the only good news? Waver had temporarily escaped danger and become a member of the subjects following his King's Army.

A red cloak, the same style as Iskandar's, was draped over him at some point, representing that he would enjoy the joy of conquering the world together with the King of Conquerors, Iskandar.

At this moment, Waver Velvet was no longer the green youth he had been.

Instead, he was Zhuge Liang 【El-Melloi II】, who had fused with the Spirit Foundation of Zhuge Liang in the future.

Perhaps it was because Waver truly believed from the bottom of his heart that he was Iskandar's subject.

Under the blessing of who knows how many miracles, this youth descended into the King's Army with his future Spirit Foundation.

"This is the ultimate formation of the Great Strategist, the Stone Sentinel Maze!"

Under the blessing of the King's Army, countless giant stones rose from the ground, forming a grand formation filled with illusions.

And under the command of Waver, or rather, Kongming, the 50,000-strong Servant army began to counter-slaughter the 1.5 million zombies.

The King of Conquerors, Iskandar, even relinquished all authority to Waver, driving his chariot himself and charging into the tide-like swarm of zombies.

However, the advantage was only temporary.

Those zombies, even if they lost their heads, had their limbs severed, or were even burned to ashes.

Even if only one hand remained, that hand would frantically leap toward the nearest flesh.

Soon, as the Servant army was infected and assimilated into zombies.

The morale of the King's Army began to decline.

Facing such monsters, the soldiers who had once pressed forward without fear began to be afraid.

"Monsters!!"

"My King, I want to go home!"

"I don't want to become a monster..."

Even when those Servants used their Noble Phantasms, they still had no effect when facing those zombies.

Noble Phantasm? Special attack? Wait until I die a few times, and when I crawl back up, I will have evolved resistance.

And you, just wait, you will eventually become one of us.

And just as the King's Army was resisting desperately, outside the King's Army, outside the Reality Marble.

Emiya Kiritsugu carried a briefcase.

This was the Tactical Portable Nuclear Bomb created by modifying that obsolete nuclear bomb from Florida through alchemical Magic.

Don't look at it as just a small briefcase; its yield was enough to level the entire Fuyuki City in one go.

"Watch out!"

Just as a zombie from some unknown corner leaped out and lunged at Emiya Kiritsugu.

A flash of silver light streaked by, and a Black Key pierced the opponent's head, pinning it firmly to the wall.

It was Kirei Kotomine; he was currently cooperating with Emiya Kiritsugu to deal with the matters at Ryudou Temple together.

After all, he understood the severity of the current zombie crisis, and Golden Gil had not yet had the chance to enlighten him.

He was still in a state of confusion, but the current situation was not suitable for confusion.

"Thanks!"

Emiya Kiritsugu offered his thanks, then continued to advance toward Ryudou Temple.

Soon, they arrived inside Ryudou Temple.

Yet Ryudou Temple was completely empty, as if everyone had gone to another world.

Su Nian seemed to have discovered that people had arrived outside the Reality Marble, and with a snap of his fingers, he brought Emiya Kiritsugu and Kirei Kotomine inside.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the endless, tide-like zombies and the empty Ryudou Temple outside.

"Release all the zombies, as well as All the World's Evils; I have a nuclear bomb here."

Emiya Kiritsugu had no time for grief, because at this moment, there were more important things waiting for him to do.

That was to destroy Fuyuki City with this nuclear bomb, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating the virus before it could spread.

Almost in an instant, Iskandar threw Emiya Kiritsugu, along with all the zombies and Angra Mainyu, out of the Reality Marble.

And then, after the other party activated the nuclear bomb, he brought them back in.

"Boom!"

Fuyuki City is as "nuke-fully" peaceful as ever today~
