The former Mount Ryudo, now the bottom of a giant crater.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, carrying the Holy Grail, was panting as he followed Mash, running toward the tall man not far away.
The man raised his hands, which bore ten rings, holding them in front of his chest. Then, a small sun appeared in his palms.
"Senpai, watch out!"
Seeing the small sun flying toward them, Mash was pale with shock. With a determined look, she stepped in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and charged forward with her massive shield.
Boom!
Terrifying high temperatures began to rampage. The rocks and soil on the ground melted instantly, turning into bright red lava.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, unscathed under Mash's protection, slowly opened his eyes, which he had closed to avoid the blinding light. He looked in panic at Mash in front of him, whose body was scorched black and emitting the smell of roasted meat.
But soon, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed his quality as Chaldea's first candidate. Quickly regaining his composure and thinking of a strategy, he raised his left hand which bore the command spells, and one command spell vanished with a stroke.
As the command spell vanished, Mash disappeared from the spot. Then, the other two command spells vanished one after another.
"Go, Mash!"
Solomon looked hollowly at the shouting Fujimaru Ritsuka and slowly raised his hands again. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and a completely unscathed Mash appeared behind Solomon, swinging her massive shield and slamming it toward the back of Solomon's head with great force.
Just as the giant shield was about to hit the back of the defenseless Solomon's head, a magic circle suddenly deployed from Solomon's body, sending Mash flying back.
When the dust settled, Mash warily held her giant shield, watching Solomon from a distance.
As the magecraft previously set up in the Reality Marble took effect, Solomon, who had deployed a barrier of a similar nature around himself, recovered. Then, Solomon spoke to Mash.
"Wait!"
Seeing the expression on Solomon's face begin to change and no longer be in a hollow state, Mash slowly stood her shield in front of her and looked toward Solomon.
"Rest assured, we will not fight anymore. I have already understood most of the cause and effect. Please hand the Holy Grail over to me!"
Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged a glance. Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka, holding the Holy Grail, walked up to Solomon under Mash's gaze and handed the Holy Grail to him.
Solomon took the Holy Grail, casually absorbed it into his body, and then slowly floated into the air, saying to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Master of Chaldea, we shall meet again in the future!"
After speaking, Solomon flew rapidly into the distance.
"Senpai! Are you alright?"
Seeing Mash nervously feeling over his body, Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled her into a tight embrace.
"It's so good that you're okay!"
Mash, blushing furiously and at a loss, felt Fujimaru Ritsuka's embrace and murmured.
"Senpai, you too!"
Solomon, flying rapidly toward the seaside in the air, looked at the battle on the distant sea surface and sighed.
"Are we all just pawns in the game between the Root and the 'Demon God'?"
At this moment, on the sea surface, the battle was becoming increasingly intense.
Gudako, holding Cartia and activating her Stigmata to gain the power of the Great Archangel, was constantly inflicting wounds on the Beast 666 using Cartia.
However, Beast 666 was not so easy to deal with. As the battle progressed, Beast 666 noticed the abnormality of the Bridge Giant wreckage floating in the sky with Gudako. It began to give up fighting Gudako and turned to attack the ruins that had become the territory of the UK.
Once the ruins were destroyed, Gudako, without the support of the Great Archangel's power, would be unable to use the All-Dimensional Severance. That would be the moment of Gudako's defeat.
In this tug-of-war, Beast 666, relying on the recovery power brought by the black mud, began to slowly gain the upper hand.
Gudako severed it with her sword again, but Beast 666 quickly recovered through self-amputation. At the same time, the consequences of the All-Dimensional Severance were gradually manifesting.
Gudako keenly sensed that many gazes from the reverse side of the world were firmly fixed on her through the gap she had cut. At the same time, whether due to the counter force or some unknown existence, the Primal Energy coming from the reverse side began to be constantly mixed with death energy.
At this point, Gudako not only had to fight Beast 666 with all her might, but also had to find opportunities to deal with the death energy in her body. Otherwise, once the death energy exceeded a certain amount, perhaps she, as a saint, wouldn't die, but she definitely couldn't escape falling into a sudden coma. However, on such a battlefield, what difference was there between a sudden coma and death?
"Master! Gudako can't hold on anymore!"
The constant fighting and various troubles wore Gudako out, both physically and mentally, making her unable to help but complain to herself.
Sensing Gudako's fatigue, Beast 666 accelerated the destruction of Gudako's territory.
Seeing that half of the territory had been destroyed, Gudako secretly glanced at the distant beach, seemingly starting to plan an escape route for herself.
Just then, a small speck of light descended from the sky, and one after another, they looped around Beast 666's horns.
"Little girl! Leave this to me! You should leave quickly!"
Hearing the voice, Gudako was stunned. She turned her head and saw the tall and handsome Solomon. Her face flushed red, and she nodded happily at Solomon, beginning to operate the territory transfer.
Solomon slowly flew in front of Beast 666, which had been restrained by his Noble Phantasm, and then flew onto the head of Beast 666's main head. Looking at the ten crowns that were almost equal to his own Noble Phantasm, he looked at Beast 666 beneath him with pitying eyes and spoke.
"How pitiful. Are you a sacrifice just like me? But at least I get a consolation prize; you seem to have absolutely nothing!"
Beast 666 seemed to have known its fate for a long time. Its seven heads grinned in unison, mocking Solomon and letting out a deafening roar.
"How troublesome. This is the first time I've discovered that the future would have so much fog; I'm not used to this at all! But let's begin!"
Boom! The sound shook the sky. The moment the sound erupted, Manaka's barrier shattered instantly. Then, a huge explosion slowly spread out from Fuyuki City, Japan. Even the Magi at the Clock Tower in the UK heard the sound of this explosion in Fuyuki City.
Solomon slowly caught his ten rings. Looking at the seabed, which had been blasted into a giant pit hundreds of meters deep, and the constantly backflowing seawater, he arrived at the previous location of Beast 666. Just as he was about to reach out and pick up the ten crowns, Solomon froze, looking at the crowns that had suddenly disappeared in front of him, and laughed heartily.
"So it wasn't me! That's great!"
Then, after the various natural disasters calmed down, Solomon came to the flood embankment, which was so damaged that its original form was unrecognizable. He then took off a ring, held the Holy Grail, and made a wish.
"Please let me disappear from the Throne of Heroes, please let me become an ordinary person!"
A dazzling golden light flashed by, and the peaceful Fuyuki City finally welcomed peace!
One day later, Black Saber, sitting boredly in what was formerly Fuyuki City but was now a ruin, looked boredly at the morning sun. Then, she threw down the Excalibur in her hand and dissipated into spirit origin particles within the ruins.
"What a boring journey. I hope the next one won't be this boring..."
