Two Sides of a Coin

Another chance has come, Fujimaru. Rayshift into the Greater Grail.

A-Again? Last time it was evil Jeanne, so this time...

？！

Mm, kyukyu, kyui!

You'll see when you get there... Though to tell the truth, I don't know myself.

You don't? You mean you can't pinpoint who it is we'll be fighting?

No, I have chosen the opponent. What I'm saying is

I don't know who that person is. It seems like that one is fundamentally different than the other Heroic Spirits.

Fundamentally different... Was there someone like that? Oh, I feel like Elisabeth might be different.

That one is just a weird. ...Well, you'll sense it when we arrive.

These are the Roman plains? I was sure it would be another throne room...

Fooouu!

Th-This rumble...a giant? No, it's an army of giant golems!

What is that? They're burying the horizon! It's like the Great Wall of China is advancing on us...

They're heading right for us! Saber, is that our opponent?

...I think not, but I don't know. That golem army might be the same as that one.

Either way, we're busting through the wall Fujimaru. They don't see us as enemies.

They're just like a massive steamroller that crushes everything before it.

There's nothing to be gained by fighting them, and there are too many to defeat.

Concentrate on a few and open a gap in the wall!

Wow... It's like a tsunami.

Those giants have no will of their own, but there seems to be a will guiding them.

"End all civilization on this planet." I'm not sure, but that's what their command sounds like...

？！

They certainly won't halt. Do not be afraid. Fujimaru, we shall pierce through the second wave as well.

Our real target lies beyond this wall of giants. We shall see if Mash's instincts were correct!

We made it past the giants! That's the Heroic Spirit Altera, the one we saw in Rome!

...So a lifeform besides me appears in my dream? Answer me. Who are you?

That's what I want to know, white Heroic Spirit. Mash called you Altera, but

Are you really Altera? You don't seem like the conqueror they called the Scourge of God.

...You disturb my dream, and then insult me? You are...Britain's King of Knights, yes?

I am Altera. My appearance and this blade are proof of that.

Answer me. What makes you doubt the truth that I speak?

If your answer displeases me, I'll show no mercy. I'll incinerate you and this world.

(Senpai, she seems to understand us more, but she sounds a lot more angry!)

(But I understand that feeling.)

(If this is Altera's dream, it would be embarrassing for others to see it!)

...It doesn't matter if you intended to or not. The fact is, you're humiliating me.

...I know. Even I don't know why I have these dreams.

Butthat's why I can't forgive you. You have peeked into my inexplicable dreams.

？！

Answer me. Why do you mock me so?

...Why, you ask? I finally understand now after coming here.

Oh great conqueror and Heroic Spirit Altera. You have become a paradox.

Some kings conquer to satisfy their people. Some kings rule to satisfy their own greed.

Each definition of kingship varies. Everyone has their own ideology, and justifiable goals.

Butyou are different. You are a conqueror and a destroyer.

Some kings bring destruction in their conquest, but no king brings destruction after a conquest.

That is not a king who rules man. That is a Demon God who denies the world of man.

I ask again, Heroic Spirit Altera. Are you reallya Heroic Spirit like us?

I have no answer for that. As the head of the Huns, I simply fought and slew our enemy.

It was you people who called me a king, a hero, a God of War.

Or would you, a fellow Heroic Spirit, deny me? Just like me, you can only destroy.

I don't like you. I don't like you at all.

Begone from my dream. This plain of destruction is mine alone. I don't want to see any humans!

Wow... All the Mana in the atmosphere is being drawn into her blade!

So that is the Sword of Mars, the Noble Phantasm that can incinerate the world!

Excellent. Altera herself was a disappointment, but that Noble Phantasm is a worthy foe.

If it's going to swallow all the Mana in the world, it will be an excellent opponent.

My heart is that of a dragon. The Od in my body shall resist the breath of the World.

Let's go, Master! It's time to see whose Noble Phantasm is the strongest!

That...sword...was tempered inside the planet itself... It's a true Divine Weapon?

I know it...I know this pain... That's...What era was that

Heroic Spirit Altera annihilation confirmed. Did we...win?

So it seems. I thought she was like Jeanne, another Heroic Spirit twisted by the Grail, but

It seems she was twisted from before. Enough that she herself didn't know who she was.

？！

Don't worry, this is Altera's dream. Since she disappeared, the dream will wake up.

Our minds will return as the world ends. It may leave a small aftertaste, but do not fret.

S-So we're experiencing a simulation of the end of the world... This is the kind of bad feeling I don't want to know...

Forgive me. I tried to be of use to my Master, but this time I failed.

Once this world ends, let us meet again. Don't worry Fujimaru, it wasn't a complete waste.

Battling Altera increased my own power. I shall show you an even more powerful slash in our next battle.

Oh, Saber just left without us! Senpai, we, um...

I-I knew it!

I-I can't! Closing my eyes just makes me more scared!

？！

I'm done doing favors for Alter! Senpai, next time, think more about your actions, okay!
