ACT-17 "Wish of the Three Founding Families"

Rider!?

Ugh... Well done! Hehehe, Stone Sentinel Maze, huh? You got me there.

...

This is not a skill I mastered myself. I gained it by accident.

After all, with my own ability, I'm no match for you...

Haha, moron.

!?

？！

Why would you do that to him...

It doesn't matter whose power you wield on the path of conquest. How you wield it, lead it... That's what makes the difference.

If you saw my Ionioi Hetairoi with your own eyes, I'd expect you to understand that, at least. Idiot.

Rider...

Huh? Did it hurt? Sorry. I don't know how to control my strength. I've lost the feeling in my fingertips lately, so...

Well, since you've already gotten such deep lines in your forehead, I assume a small attack won't leave a scar. Right?

...Nonsense. Some scars affect the heart more than the body.

Haha, give me a break. Anyway, it was a good fight. I'm sorry, kid, but it's time for me to go...

...Why? I am the one who's supposed to cry now. Why are you crying instead?

...You're right. I'm embarrassed to be seen this way. I never thought I would have such a meeting in this lifetime...

Ugh! ...What!?

Lord El-Melloi!?

Foooh!?

What was that attack!? From where!?

Bahaha, you dropped your guard, strategist. I guess even the magecraft you're so proud of is useless if you're distracted by something so pathetic.

aaa...Aaaaa...

Berserker!?

Damn! I didn't expect to be ambushed at this stage!

You must be... Zolgen, Makiri's mage! What on earth are you doing!?

That's my line, Einzbern!

Helping to dismantle the Greater Grail... Have you fallen so far that you've even forgotten the wish of the Founding Three?

It's so obvious! This ritual failed a long time ago! Heaven's Feel will never be achieved with the Grail in a state like this!

So what? What's wrong with it? What we become... What we achieve... That no longer has any meaning.

We've devoted everything to the past 500 years... I don't care as long as I can witness the fruit of our labor.

Zolgen, are you out of your mind!?

Who knows? How do you separate sanity from insanity? Now that my soul has withered away, I can no longer tell.

Still, I will not let you lay one finger on this Greater Grail. This is the realization of our old dream. I will never hand it over!

Aaaaaa!
