Chapter 620

["Berserker..."]

[Trails of blood and tears slid down Illya's cheeks, splashing onto the pristine snow like blooming plum blossoms.]

["Squish—"]

[There was no mercy, no sympathy, only cruelty and pleasure.]

[Black-Hearted Gil sneered as he grabbed Illya by the hair, lifted her up, and then, with a single motion, tore out her heart.]

["You— Aaaaaah!!!"]

[And this bloody scene happened to be witnessed by Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin, who had just finished teaching Matou Shinji a lesson and arrived in a hurry.]

[Even though he wasn't very close to Illya, watching a life fade away before his eyes in such a cruel manner was too much for Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou.]

[Projection magic activated, Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in his hands, and Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou roared as he charged toward Black-Hearted Gil.]

[A look of disdain appeared on Black-Hearted Gil's face as he waved his hand, sending several Noble Phantasms flying out.]

[Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou quickly swung his swords to parry, only to be knocked back by the immense force, spitting blood.]

[His injuries hadn't even healed yet.]

[On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Illya had already collapsed in a pool of blood, one hand touching the ground in front of her.]

[That was the place where Heracles had previously existed.]

["Even if it's pitch black, I won't be afraid, because Berserker is strong. If you can be by my Reverse Reverse Reverse Side like this, I can feel at ease..."]

["You have always been protecting me. Although I was afraid once, you are truly gentle, with a majestic body, just like a father."]

["Just one more time, I really want to be held by you..."]

[Just like that, the young girl's body slowly sank into the cold.]

"Aoooooo!!!"

The Emiya family's rage meter has already hit MAX!

It is foreseeable that Gilgamesh and the Emiya family won't be able to have a civil conversation for a long time to come.

As for Gilgamesh, he just scoffed at this.

That was the Lesser Grail, after all; if he didn't Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take it this way, was he supposed to carry the whole corpse back?

"Damn it..."

Seeing himself in the video failing to save Illya, Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou felt deeply self-reproachful.

Strength—as expected, his strength in the video was simply insufficient.

If he could have the strength of the Great Hero Emiya, many tragedies could be avoided.

He must work harder; he absolutely cannot let the situation in the video happen in reality!

[On Black-Hearted Gil's Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, having obtained the Lesser Grail (Illya's heart), he couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin, and left directly with Matou Shinji.]

[Watching the other party leave just like that, Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou was unable to stop them; he could only step forward with a gloomy face to pick up Illya's corpse and send it back to the castle.]

[Once again, he failed to protect anything...]

["...I don't want to see anyone die in front of me."]

[Looking at the small person who had lost all signs of life, Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou's face was full of grief.]

[He hated things like this—]

[Watching someone before him who longed to be saved but wasn't, what a heartbreaking thing this was...]

["..."]

[Tohsaka Rin looked at Illya's corpse, her expression also complex.]

[This really is the irony of fate—]

[They originally came seeking help, but ended up becoming the ones who needed help.]

[Now they really have to rely on themselves.]

Jinako: "This is really..."

Blonde Rin: "Adding insult to injury—"

They haven't even dealt with Medea yet, and now there's an extra Black-Hearted Gil.

The only potential strong reinforcements, Illya and Heracles, have also fallen; in this situation, Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou really can't figure out how to turn the tables.

[Time flew by, and no one knew how much time had passed.]

[Inside the Church.]

[The restless Archer found Kuzuki Soichiro and began to fish for information.]

[He wanted to know Kuzuki Soichiro's wish.]

[Regarding this, Kuzuki Soichiro had no intention of hiding anything.]

[Fulfilling Medea's wish—that was Kuzuki Soichiro's wish.]

[And the conversation fell perfectly into Medea's ears.]

[How could Medea ever feel at ease with an unfathomable existence like Archer? Naturally, she was monitoring him every single moment.]

[At this moment, Medea's heart was full of happiness, rejoicing that she finally hadn't chosen the wrong person.]

[A warm home, an honest husband who would never betray her.]

[Her own wish had actually already been fulfilled.]

[However, her happy mood didn't last long before Medea returned to her cold expression.]

[Because she sensed that Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou had returned.]

[Since they were so eager to seek death, this time she would absolutely hold nothing back.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: In the three-way standoff between Tohsaka Rin/Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou and Medea/Kuzuki Soichiro, what will be the outcome of this battle?]

[A: Successful comeback, Medea retreats with Kuzuki Soichiro.]

[B: Successful comeback, both Medea and Kuzuki Soichiro fall.]

[C: Comeback fails, both are killed by Medea.]

[D: Comeback fails, but Medea is kind-hearted and lets them go once again.]

[Answering time is 1 minute, the quiz starts now.]

"A comeback, huh..."

Seeing this option, everyone frowned.

The other Reverse Reverse Reverse Side now has three Servants, plus Kuzuki Soichiro, who is no less capable than a Servant; it is truly too difficult for Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou to turn the tables.

Unless some unexpected event occurs... for example, Black-Hearted Gil crashing the party!

But if that guy Black-Hearted Gil appears, he would probably just Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take care of both sides at once.

As for the result of a failed comeback—

Even if Medea is kind-hearted, she probably won't let them go this time, right?

After all, there's a limit to one's patience.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how these two brats can turn the tables."

Medea curled her lip in disdain and chose C directly.

She didn't believe that she, a magus from the Age of Gods, would lose to two modern amateur magi.

[Time is up, the quiz has ended.]

[The answer will now be revealed.]

[Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou walked openly toward the church, and Archer, who was on guard duty, naturally stopped them first.]

["I know you too well; you were bound to come."]

[As for the returning Tohsaka Rin, Archer had an 'I expected this' expression.]

[As for Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Side—he was directly ignored.]

[Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou looked at Archer with complex eyes.]

[Tohsaka Rin had already told him that Archer was his future self.]

Blonde Rin: "Oh, so the cards are finally on the table? I thought they were going to keep it hidden until the end and let Emiya Emiya Emiya Shirou discover it himself."
