Video paused.

【Question: This is the final battle of the Great Holy Grail War; after this battle ends, who is the final winner?】

【A: Sieg.】

【B: Jeanne.】

【C: Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou Tokisada.】

【D: Shakespeare.】

【E: Semiramis.】

【F: Astolfo.】

【Please answer within 1 minute; overtime counts as giving up.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is this the decisive battle."

Rin Tohsaka: "According to this meaning, only one participant survived in the end?"

Waver: "Not necessarily survived; the final winner probably refers to the beneficiary who obtained the Holy Grail and successfully made a wish."

Rin Tohsaka: "But hasn't Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou already completed his wish?"

Waver: "But the wish hasn't been fulfilled yet; once it is stopped, it can be considered a failure."

Caules: "Looking at the situation, the winner should be between Miss Jeanne and Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou."

Jeanne: "No, although I don't know who the final winner is, it will definitely not be me."

She already understood what she was going to do next in the video.

In this way, she would definitely not be the winner.

Kayneth: "I choose A."

The luck of Sieg in the original development was really eerily good, just like the protagonist in a novel; in this way, the final winner would probably also be—

【Ding! Kayneth answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Kayneth: "???"

Astolfo: "Ah! How is it not Sieg?"

Jeanne was also panicked in her heart; did something go wrong in the end?

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou: "I choose C."

This was not confidence, but more like seeking a kind of solace.

Hoping that what he didn't complete, the self in the video successfully did.

【Ding! Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou: "..."

No rage, no annoyance, only a bitter smile.

What else could he say.

It turns out that whether it is now or originally, he failed.

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "I choose F."

【Ding! Congratulations to Xiang Junior Feng Xi for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

Everyone: "Hm!!!"

Astolfo: "Sigh! Is it me? (ロ)"

The final winner was actually Astolfo, which really exceeded everyone's expectations.

【Answering time ended, video continues.】

"Your goal should be to defeat me before the Greater Grail completes the Third Magic, but as you can see, I have enough remaining magical energy to defeat you."

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou was very confident, even arrogant, because he had the capital to do so after controlling the Greater Grail.

"Jeanne, this is for you. This is the flag you should hold."

Gilles picked up the holy flag that Jeanne dropped on the ground and handed it to Jeanne respectfully.

Jeanne: "No, please hold it, and please protect us. I won't use this flag; this flag is used to protect people, not as a weapon for fighting."

Gilles: "But—"

"It's up to you; I want to pray to the Lord."

Jeanne's hand was on the sword; that was the Sword of Saint Catherine that she had never used once in her lifetime.

Gilles opened his eyes wide; he clearly understood the meaning of Jeanne's words.

That sword was the only weapon Jeanne possessed, and the meaning of using this weapon here was probably—

Rin Tohsaka: "Eh? So that sword wasn't a decoration."

Illya: "Really, I never saw Jeanne use it from beginning to end."

Kayneth: "Is it a Noble Phantasm? But Jeanne shouldn't have had any deeds related to a sword in her lifetime?"

Bluebeard: "Sword?"

He remembered that sword; it was also a decoration during Jeanne's lifetime.

Jeanne: "It's enough as long as it's while I'm praying; can you please protect me and little brother Sieg?"

This was said based on absolute trust, even if Gilles was a Servant summoned by Shakespeare.

"As you command, Jeanne... although it was only for a short time, I feel very happy to be able to talk to you again."

Gilles finally changed back to his original self. Although the weapon in his hand was different, that majestic appearance was exactly the heroic posture of the Marshal of the past, Gilles de Rais.

Jeanne: "... illes, there is one thing I forgot to tell you in my lifetime."

Gilles: "Oh my, that is—"

Jeanne: "Thank you; it's great to have met you."

Gilles was a bit stunned; he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

Even if he returned to the Throne of Heroes, he would not forget this moment, because he was too satisfied.

Bluebeard: "Ugh ugh ugh (biting handkerchief), damn it..."

Why, why, why wasn't this sentence said to him!

He was so jealous!!!

Rin Tohsaka: "This counts as, being jealous of oneself."

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Sycophants are all like this, don't pay attention to him."

Jeanne: "Little brother Sieg, we have to say goodbye here."

Sieg was startled and realized something; he didn't show a sad expression and asked: "Can we never meet again?"

Jeanne: "No, I promise you, I will definitely go see you again."

Even if this journey is endlessly long, it doesn't matter.

Sieg: "I will wait for you."

Illya: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, why are you saying goodbye?"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Is she planning to sacrifice herself?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Sacrificing herself, is she trying to fight the other party to the death, or is it to activate that Noble Phantasm."

Waver: "It should be... to activate the Noble Phantasm."

Waver: "I roughly guessed what that is, the Noble Phantasm activated by sacrificing oneself."

Rin Tohsaka: "What?"

Waver: "That Noble Phantasm is not a sword, but fire, right."

Jeanne: "You guessed right."

Rin Tohsaka: "Fire! Could it be!"

Waver: "That's right, it's the flames that burned Jeanne to death; to think it actually turned into a Noble Phantasm."

Bluebeard: "No! Jeanne, you absolutely cannot use that thing!"

"The 'Greater Grail' begins synchronization."

"'Arm of Heaven'—fall!"

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou waved his arms, and the giant arm fell like a meteor.

The giant's arm smashed toward the three of them, and Gilles reacted immediately.

"Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou Tokisada, holder of the Greater Grail, I am Gilles de Rais of Brittany. Now, I will be your opponent—"

Gilles raised the flag and shouted bravely, taking this powerful blow.

Instantly, sound disappeared from the world; the Arm of Heaven, comparable to an Rank Rank Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm, collided violently with the flag, creating a huge roar in the surroundings.

Sieg reflexively covered his ears and squatted down, and Shakespeare also hurriedly wanted to leave the two of them.

"Cough, ah..."

Gilles spat out a mouthful of blood; although he used the holy flag to carry this blow, his body couldn't hold on anymore.

After all, his body was not a true Heroic Spirit body.

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou didn't give him any chance to breathe, and the second attack fell immediately; the loud noise and silence came again.

Gilles had completely thrown pain to the back of his mind; even the impact that was enough to shatter all his bones, he didn't Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take it to heart. Until the moment he died, he probably wouldn't stop.

Rin Tohsaka: "Ugh... is this really Gilles de Rais..."

Looking at the Marshal heroically blocking the attack in the video, and then looking at the Bluebeard going crazy in the group, it's hard to imagine they are the same person.

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Just treat them as two different people."

Rin Tohsaka: "... hat's fine too."

And Jeanne naturally wasn't idle; she pulled out Saint Catherine, used this sword to cut her own palm, knelt on both knees, and began to pray.

"The heavens are the glory of the Lord, the sky is the great work of God's hands."

"Day conveys language, night transmits knowledge."

"Neither talking nor speaking, even the sound cannot be heard."

"Warm light sprinkles over the earth, extending to the very end of the world."

"Ascending from the end of the sky, circling to the end of the sky."

"My heart burns inside me, burning along with my thoughts."

"My end is here, my fate is here, my life is here."

"My life is equivalent to nothing, wandering around like a shadow."

"My bow cannot be relied upon, and my sword cannot save me."

"With the only thing remaining, I hope to protect his footsteps..."

".... ord, this body will be left to your disposal—"

The flower of flames appeared from the drawn hilt; this was the fire that caused Jeanne's death. People believed this fire was a punishment for the witch, while Jeanne believed this fire was the final salvation.

This is Saint Jeanne, the first and last sword.
