He raised his Command Seal high and shouted, "Saber, by my Command Seal, I order you—destroy the Holy Grail!"
Bang!
The holy sword in Artoria's hands immediately unleashed a massive surge of magical energy.
But Artoria, using Magic Resistance A, forcibly suppressed the effect of the Command Seal.
"Why… why would you destroy the Holy Grail? Aren't we supposed to use it to make our wish?" Artoria demanded.
"Kiritsugu, it's Irisviel… how can you bear to destroy your own family?"
"My family—***!!!" Kiritsugu had heard that word so often it had calloused him.
He no longer cared about anything. He was determined to destroy the Grail.
"This Holy Grail has already been tainted by that damn Haruka Kasugano! It can't grant wishes anymore!" Kiritsugu roared.
Kiritsugu used another Command Seal, pressing Artoria to unleash her Noble Phantasm.
Bang—
Unable to resist the power of two Command Seals, Artoria activated her Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, and destroyed the Holy Grail.
She cried in despair.
Why do you all treat me this way…
You've defiled my body, robbed me of the chance to grant a wish…
I hate you…
By now, Kiritsugu had used three Command Seals. The master-servant bond between him and Artoria was over.
Artoria could no longer draw magical energy from Kiritsugu, and after that full-powered strike, her own magical energy was exhausted.
Exhaustion of mana meant she should have dissipated and left the scene.
She began to cry.
But…
Even after several dozen seconds, she hadn't disappeared.
"Huh?" she blinked in confusion—and then realized the reason.
The reason was that Haruka Kasugano had injected her with essence dozens of times, providing her with a continuous source of magical power.
Her persistence was due to her body slowly absorbing this essence.
"To survive because of something like this..." She felt utterly disgusted.
At that moment.
The gate of the Great Holy Grail, the Heavenly Hole, appeared above her head.
With the Small Holy Grail destroyed, the Great Holy Grail was forcibly opened. The black sludge within erupted in an instant.
Whoosh! A massive waterfall of black sludge instantly flooded the entire Civic Hall.
Not only that, the entire surrounding city was engulfed in flames.
Seeing this hellish scene, Emiya Kiritsugu was instantly dumbfounded.
What the hell was he doing...
He had intended to save the world... Why was he doing something that destroyed it...
His conviction crumbled.
...
Artoria, Circe, and Lancelot were all submerged in the black mud.
Haruka Kasugano had just stepped out when he was showered by the black mud.
"Ahhh... Huh... Why am I fine?" Haruka Kasugano slowly emerged from the sludge, scratching his head in confusion.
[Ding! Host's durability is A. The physical damage from the black mud has no effect on the host. The mental pollution from the black mud has no effect on "people with excessive ego." Host, you...cannot be corrupted.]
"Damn it, you're just finding new ways to call me a shameless bastard, aren't you?" Haruka Kasugano muttered under his breath.
"Where's Circe?" Haruka Kasugano hurriedly searched for Circe in the black mud.
Just then, a black Excalibur stabbed at him.
Bang—
Haruka Kasugano was so frightened that he quickly took three steps back.
Haruka Kasugano... come here!" A captivating voice echoed.
Immediately after, a pale-skinned, slender girl with long limbs emerged from the black mud cascade.
Her appearance was nearly identical to Artoria's, but her hair was nearly silver, and her pupils had turned golden.
----
Holy crap.
Artoria has become Artoria alter!
Haruka Kasugano was stunned.
He had just run up from the warehouse below and was drenched in black mud.
Before he could even check what had happened, he bumped into Artoria, who had been corrupted by the mud and turned into Artoria alter.
This is terrible…
Artoria alter wasn't as timid or concerned with public order and morality as Artoria.
She was extremely decisive in her killings, and her attacks were completely reckless, each strike unleashing her full power.
Artoria alter stared intently at Haruka Kasugano with her golden eyes, as if she wanted to devour him.
And, the current situation was somewhat awkward.
Because Haruka Kasugano had been bathed in black mud, his clothes had been burned away by the high temperature of the mud.
He was now completely naked.
Artoria alter was in the same situation.
She had just been subjected to the black mud bath, her clothes burned off, leaving her completely naked.
This left her beauty completely exposed.
Her skin was pale yet delicate and smooth.
Her long, straight, creamy-white legs appeared intensely alluring against the black mud's backdrop, occasionally revealing glimpses of rosy flesh.
Her entire body was exquisitely beautiful, as if sculpted from ivory.
And beneath this ghostly, exquisite pallor, her delicate blossoms appeared even more bewitching.
Her entire being radiated an otherworldly, enchanting aura.
The two stood naked before each other, the scene intensely awkward.
"Get over here!" Artoria alter threatened.
Haruka Kasugano, of course, wouldn't obediently go over, instinctively taking a step back.
*Bang—*
In that instant, Artoria alter, wielding a black Excalibur, used [Magic Release] to unleash a devastating slash.
In a flash, the crumbling walls of the nearby Civic Hall were cleaved in two.
Seeing this, Haruka Kasugano froze completely.
"Come here!" Artoria alter said in her seductive voice.
Her expression remained cold, yet she commanded respect without needing to raise her voice, making defiance impossible.
"Alright... Hahaha..." Haruka Kasugano scratched his head, laughing foolishly.
He slowly walked through the towards Artoria alter.
He stopped when he was about a meter away from her.
Admiring Artoria alter's beautiful body at such close range was a true challenge to reason.
"Kneel before me!" Artoria alter continued to threaten.
Haruka Kasugano glanced at the black Excalibur in her hand, which was indeed radiating black magic.
Terrified, he had no choice but to comply.
But a man's knees are made of gold, and Haruka Kasugano wasn't about to kneel lightly.
Since the black mud only reached knee height at this point, he simply squatted down in it.
Artoria alter couldn't tell if he was squatting or kneeling.
Seeing Haruka Kasugano comply, a hint of a smile appeared on Artoria alter's previously cold face—a smug smile.
Then, she walked towards Haruka Kasugano and raised her slender, fair right leg.
A perfectly shaped, delicate, snow-white jade ankle with rounded, tender toes gently landed on Haruka Kasugano's left shoulder.
This posture
allowed Haruka Kasugano, gazing from below, to take in her entire naked form.
Those flawlessly white legs were a visual shock.
And that pink Pussy was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Artoria alter's alluring feminine scent washed over him.
"Lick it for me!" Artoria alter commanded.
"Okay..." Haruka Kasugano had no patience for seduction, and faced with this breathtaking beauty, he couldn't refuse.
So he stuck out his tongue.
And began kissing the slender leg..
"Ah~! What are you doing?" Artoria alter's face flushed slightly, showing a hint of embarrassment.
She gently withdrew her slender leg and even tapped Haruka Kasugano's lips lightly with her foot.
"You stinky bastard, who told you to kiss here? I told you to kiss here!" Artoria alter said shyly and angrily.
Haruka Kasugano was still intoxicated by the jailer's beauty, which seemed like a work of art, and hadn't yet realized Haruka Kasugano was still in a daze, mesmerized by the heavenly beauty of the foot, and hadn't caught on to what Artoria alter meant.
It wasn't until he saw Artoria alter personally touching the pink flesh with her hand that he understood.
No way...
So she wanted him to serve her there...
Haruka Kasugano swallowed hard.
He then grabbed the slender leg draped over his shoulder with his left hand, tilting his head to savor that pink flesh.
"Ah...this is it...so good..." Artoria alter face contorted with pleasure.
Although Artoria alter was no longer a virgin, this newly acquired flesh was still brand new to him.
Everything on it was still fresh.
For Haruka Kasugano, this was an immense blessing.
"Hehehe...Haruka Kasugano, even you will have to live a life of humiliation beneath me. From now on, serve this king well!" Artoria alter declared her victory while lost in pleasure.
"You made me suffer so much before. Now you finally know the shame! I'll punish you with kisses—or I'll kill you!"
"This humiliation will be remembered well!"
Haruka Kasugano ignored her.
Because this wasn't punishment, it was a reward!
Moreover, the system's notification was also very pleasing to the eye.
