Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

[Karabo quickly joined Gray, standing side by side to face Faker.]

[As a veteran Executor of the Holy Church, Karabo showcased his formidable combat abilities.]

[Wielding six black keys, he forced Faker back with only two moves. Then, activating his Mystic Eye, he unleashed a devastating attack that left Faker in shambles, her body covered in wounds.]

[The Mystic Eye's slash manifested from the past into the present, making it impossible to defend against, neither spiritually nor physically.]

["You dared to manipulate me into committing such vile acts? You'll pay for this, Heartless!"]

Illya: "So strong! This old man is incredible!"

Tohsaka Rin: "They're actually suppressing Faker."

Kayneth: "I never realized the full potential of those Mystic Eyes before. Now he wields them with such mastery."

Kotomine Risei: "This is the true strength of the Church."

Darnic: "It's extraordinary."

Vlad III: "It's only temporary. Faker still has a Noble Phantasm, and she hasn't even activated her own Mystic Eye yet."

[Faker, finding herself at a disadvantage, prompted Heartless to command the Child of Einnashe to launch an attack.]

[However, the others aboard the train had already prepared their countermeasures.]

[The shape of stars, the shape of space, the shape of God, the shape of self]

[Celestial bodies are hollow]

[Hollowness is empty space]

[God resides within empty space]

["Stars, Cosmos, Gods, Animus."]

["Antrum, Unverse"]

[Inside the train, Olga Marie had completed the celestial magic ritual.]

[This was a celestial ritual field developed by the Animusphere family, capable of harnessing the power of celestial bodies for devastating attacks.]

[Normally, this ritual would take several days to set up, but with Melvin's assistance in fine-tuning the process, it was completed in record time.]

["I understand now, Trisha. The reason you did all this was to make me stop pretending, to make me express my anger when it's needed."]

[Olga Marie muttered to herself as she chanted the incantation.]

["Anima, Animsphere!"]

[The ritual activated, connecting the magic of the heavens and the earth. Dozens of spears of light descended from the sky like meteors, obliterating the countless demonic branches extending from the child of einnashe.]

Waver: "Amazing! Is this the magic of the Astronomy Department?"

Kayneth: "It looks impressive, but it's not as powerful as it seems. The setup is overly complicated."

"That's nothing. When you witness the Kirschtaria Wodime's Anima Animusphere Sphere in the future, you'll be left speechless." Chihiro thought.

Chihiro couldn't help but feel nostalgic as he listened to the familiar lines. The Animusphere displayed by Olga Marie was a far cry from the overwhelming power demonstrated by Kirschtaria Wodime in the future.

Unfortunately, it would likely be a long time before Wodime made an appearance.

[El-Melloi II: "Well done. Now let's deal with the main body."]

[In the train's control room, the Mystic Eye Collection Train began to move again.]

[Heartless's actions had provoked them too far. If they didn't retaliate now, the train's prestige would be tarnished forever.]

[Rodin opened a loading port, while Leandra carefully inserted a container filled with a Mystic Eye. The acting conductor stood silently, observing the process.]

["The Mystic Eye has been loaded."]

["The large-scale Mystic Eye projection program has been activated. The Anchor Car Rilcabellow is now connected to the Mystic Eye system."]

["Analysis in progress. 3… 2… 1… Analysis complete!"]

["Deploying the Spiritual Essence Return Lens, Rose Eye!"]

["Ka-ka-ka…"]

[The front of the Mystic Eye Collection Train began to transform, the mechanical parts shifting and clicking like a Transformer. Within seconds, it morphed into a massive cannon shaped like a demon's head.]

["Mystic Eye Projection—fire!"]

[Leandra gave the command, and the cannon roared to life.]

[Using the Mystic Eye as ammunition, the cannon unleashed an unstoppable blast. The powerful attack tore through the enormous body of the Son of Fuhailin, annihilating it in a single strike.]

[Heartless smirked, unfazed. "How tragic. Such an anticlimactic end."]

Waver: "…It's so cool."

Chihiro: "I think so too."

Caules: "Yeah, me too."

Astolfo: "So awesome, so awesome! Is this the kind of weapon humans are using now?"

Achilles: "What? I can deliver the same power with my spear or sword."

Chihiro: "Are you sure you could take down that monster in a single blow?"

Achilles: "Are you questioning my strength?"

Irisviel: "Haha, boys seem to love this sort of thing."

Chihiro: "Of course! I've always dreamed of piloting a transforming mecha!"

Mordred: "Keep dreaming. You'll find everything you want in dreams."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "I didn't expect the train to have such a powerful weapon."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Using Mystic Eyes as ammunition, it's extravagant and audacious."

Kayneth: "This is the confidence of the Mystic Eye Collection Train. I wouldn't be surprised if they have more weapons like this."

[Heartless turned to Faker and said, "Let's retreat."]

["No, it's not over yet."]

[Faker had already launched another attack against Waver and the others. She unleashed magic once again, but the holy spear in Gray's hands absorbed it entirely.]

[Karabo attempted to rush forward, but Faker seized the opportunity, using the power of her Mystic Eye to immobilize both him and Gray.]

[Even while immobilized, Karabo activated his Mystic Eye, managing to leave a gash on Faker's face.]

["Good. Let's start with you!"]

[Furious, Faker kicked Karabo with immense force, sending him flying.]

[Faker then turned her attention to Gray, preparing to deliver a killing blow. However, El-Melloi II threw the Laughing Buddha Pendant he held, disrupting Faker's vision just enough for Gray to break free from the Mystic Eye's control.]

[Seizing the opportunity, Gray swung her scythe-shaped weapon, Add, delivering a devastating strike to Faker.]

[The attack left a deep wound, stretching from Faker's left shoulder to her right abdomen. Blood sprayed like a fountain.]

[Half of Faker's body was torn open. If she hadn't been a Servant, the attack would have been fatal.]

Tohsaka Rin: "Did… did they win?"

Caules: "Humanity actually defeated a Servant?"

Darnic: "Not quite. A Servant isn't defeated as long as they can still move."

Kotomine Shirou: "Indeed. For a Servant, this is merely a setback, not a defeat."

Vlad III: "Still, this was an impressive effort. Even if it required a coordinated plan, their success is commendable."

[Faker glared at El-Melloi II, rage evident in her eyes. "You've been waiting for this moment, haven't you? Waiting for me to use my Mystic Eye."]

[El-Melloi II replied calmly, "Indeed. If it weren't for Father Karabo, this plan wouldn't have succeeded in time."]

[El-Melloi II jumped off the train, his voice steady as he recited, "The glory lies there. It is precisely because it cannot be achieved that we must challenge it. We sing praises of tyranny and demonstrate tyranny. All of this is for the subjects who watch over me." He paused. "He once said this."]

[Faker roared in fury. "You dare to speak of our deceased king with your pitiful understanding? You, a soldier who spent half a month flattering him, dare to spout nonsense!"]

[El-Melloi II met her anger with a firm voice. "Even if the king's existence is erased from history, his significance will never fade. That is why I am here."]

[Faker snarled. "Then we'll see if you can survive!"]

[Heartless smirked. "Well said."]

["Noble Phantasm Release!!!"]

[Faker raised her hand to the sky, shouting, "My loyalty is with the king. Grant me the name of Thunder God, even if only temporarily!"]

[With her cry, red lightning descended, summoning a chariot pulled by a dragon. Faker helped Heartless onto the chariot and began to gather power for a final, devastating attack.]

[El-Melloi II turned to Gray. "Gray, I leave the rest to you."]

[El-Melloi II collapsed to his knees. The Mystic Eye Killer he had been wearing shattered, and his magical energy was completely drained.]

[From this point onward, Gray would have to rely on herself.]

Illya: "Is this where she's going to release the Holy Lance again?"

Waver: "There's no other option. It's the only countermeasure left."

[Gray began to chant: "Gray, Rave, Crave, Deprave, Grave… me…"]

[Karabo, despite his injuries, approached Gray from behind, placing a hand on her shoulder. He spoke gently but firmly. "This lance carries prayers, thirteen forms of prayer condensed into one. Listen closely, Gray. Hear the sound of the lance. Hear how the ancients prayed."]

[Gray hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I… I hear it. He's telling me how to stand properly."]

[Add chimed in loudly. "Gray, you've always liked squatting in corners, hugging your knees, haven't you? But now's the time to ask yourself, what do you really want?"]

["Say it out loud, so others can hear it!"]

[Gray paused, then raised her head, her expression resolute. "I want to protect my Master and everyone else. To do that, I have to act myself."]

[Add let out a hearty laugh. "Haha! I heard you loud and clear, you slow-witted Gray!"]

[Karabo smiled faintly before collapsing against the train. His breathing grew weaker.]

[Karabo was dead.]

[The injuries he sustained from Faker's brutal kick had been too much for his aging body. He had given everything he had in this battle.]

Illya: "That Grandpa… is he really gone?"

Waver: "I didn't think it would end this way."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "He fought until the very end. He was a true warrior."

Kayneth: "Indeed."

Kotomine Risei: "Father Karabo, may God forgive you, as you forgave others…"

Kotomine Shirou: "Thank you for your service, Father Karabo. Rest well."
