Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

[As time ticked by, Sieg felt the weight of his growing anxiety. Yet he didn't act rashly and continued to wait for Chiron's command.]

[This demonstrated his highest and unshakable trust in the wisdom of the great teacher.]

Lancelot: "Although he's inexperienced, his composure is impressive."

Artoria: "Indeed. In moments like this, remaining calm is of utmost importance."

[Sieg and Mordred coordinated their attacks seamlessly. Together, their storm-like slashes tore into the giant's body, forcing it to stumble back a step under the relentless assault.]

[That single step backward was all Jeanne needed to realize the opportunity had come.]

[Summoning all her strength, the Saint struck the giant's sword with overwhelming force, disrupting its balance and leaving it open.]

The time had come.

[Chiron unleashed two arrows he had prepared earlier. These arrows, infused with every ounce of his magical power, shot forth, targeting the giant's feet.]

[The giant understood that this moment would decide its fate. Yet, unbalanced as it was, it could not block both arrows at once.]

[And so, the giant made a startling decision.]

[No, it wasn't startling—it was calculated.]

[The giant allowed its right foot to be pierced, while its left hand extended to block the arrow aimed at its other leg.]

[If it couldn't block both arrows, blocking just one was enough.]

[After all, a damaged leg could be restored within two steps.]

Achilles: "What a brilliant countermeasure."

Waver: "It's terrifying how intelligent this thing is. It understands its own strengths perfectly."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Avicebron… you've truly created a masterpiece."

Tohsaka Rin: "So it failed, then?"

Did the plan fail?

[No—if the giant had been paying closer attention, it would have noticed the calm, confident expression on Chiron's face.]

["Caster, your creation may indeed possess the power to rewrite the world. Perhaps it truly could lead the suffering to paradise," Chiron said serenely. "But even with the Light of Wisdom at your disposal, you made one critical miscalculation. A hero stripped of reason fears neither gods nor titans."]

"Bang!!!"

[In an instant, the giant's left leg was struck. Its massive frame was lifted off the ground in a bizarre, almost comical fashion, its balance completely broken. It plummeted to the earth in an unnatural, twisted motion.]

[For the first time, the giant's developing consciousness felt something akin to astonishment.]

[Yes, it had held its own against the combined might of Jeanne and the others, but it had overlooked one crucial fact: there were five Heroic Spirits present, not three.]

["It falls at the touch of a finger!"]

["Master, I leave the rest to you!"]

[The attacker who had been overlooked by the giant was none other than Astolfo. With his peculiar lance—capable of unexpected and humorous effects—he had delivered a crucial blow to the Titan.]

[To the giant, the strike felt no stronger than a mosquito bite.]

Waver: "Who would've thought it would be Astolfo who resolved the crisis?"

Tohsaka Rin: "To be honest, I forgot about Astolfo entirely. He didn't even seem to be part of the fight until now."

[In the brief moment when the giant was suspended midair, its connection to the earth's blessings was severed. And with that, their final opportunity arrived.]

[Mordred and Sieg charged forward together, unleashing their Noble Phantasms.]

["In the end, you're just an artificial being."]

[As Sieg closed in, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the giant.]

[This creature's actions and purpose weren't born of its own will, they had been imposed upon it by Avicebron.]

[It didn't have thoughts of its own. Its entire existence revolved around the singular goal it had been created to fulfill.]

[Sieg felt that he had surpassed this giant, not because he was stronger, but because he had chosen to act for a wish he had created himself.]

[His heart held a simple, unyielding hope, one he was willing to sacrifice his life for.]

[The power his companions had given him allowed him to save the artificial humans he once thought he could never protect.]

[And so, he could not afford to lose.]

["Balmung"]

["Clarent Blood Arthur"]

[The two Sabers moved in perfect unison, striking the giant simultaneously. Their blades pierced its heart and head.]

[From the moment Jeanne waved her holy flag to the instant the giant collapsed, only three seconds had passed.]

[As the golem fell, the surrounding trees withered. The ground ceased to radiate the divine blessings of paradise. The "Original Human," once thought immortal, began to crumble and fade into a lifeless corpse.]

["It's done!"]

[Seeing the fallen giant, the magi within the castle let out sighs of relief.]

Waver: "It's finally over. The crisis has been resolved."

Kayneth: "I can't say I'm surprised. This outcome was expected."

Tohsaka Rin: "I just hope no new enemies suddenly appear now. This fight was exhausting."

Waver: "Unlikely. The video made it clear this battle lasted until almost dawn."

[Sieg reverted to his original form, visibly exhausted and in pain. If Jeanne hadn't rushed to support him, he would've collapsed on the spot.]

[Jeanne: "Sieg, are you alright?"]

["You worry too much," Sieg thought, but he replied, "It hurts a little, but I'm fine."]

[After confirming Sieg's condition, Jeanne knelt down, clasping her hands in prayer for the disappearing giant.]

[Whether she prayed for Avicebron, the magician who served as the core, or the golem, a being born without the chance to define its own existence—Sieg wasn't sure. But he found the sight of Jeanne in prayer profoundly beautiful.]

Bluebeard: "Ah! My beloved Saint! Even in prayer, you remain so holy and radiant!"

Tohsaka Rin: "This guy again…"

["Ruler, my Master wishes to speak with you," Chiron interjected. "And Saber of Red, you as well."]

[Mordred: "Fine, I'll talk. But don't expect me to cooperate."]

[Chiron: "That's fine. However, sharing information is essential. I doubt you or your Master fully understand what happened with the Hanging Garden."]

[Mordred clicked her tongue, then communicated telepathically with Sisigou. "Alright, fine. He says to make sure the payment gets delivered today."]

[Jeanne, having finished her prayer, stood up and nodded.]

[Sisigou, who had been observing the battle from nearby, joined the group within five minutes.]

[Sisigou: "Fiore Yggdmillennia? We just met yesterday, didn't we?"]

[As Sisigou raised a hand in greeting, Fiore struggled to respond calmly, though her expression remained stiff.]

[She lacked the casual demeanor of the mercenary before her.]

["This unexpected reunion under such unusual circumstances is surprising," Fiore said politely.]

[Sisigou: "Don't be so formal. Since the moment the Greater Grail was taken, this Holy Grail War entered its second phase. You and I are no longer enemies."]

[Fiore: "For now, at least."]

[Sisigou: "That's right—for now."]

[And so, the long and tumultuous night came to an end.]

[As for the Hanging Garden, it had retreated the moment the giant appeared.]

The video ended here.

Waver: "It's finally over. That was an intense battle with so many twists and turns."

Tohsaka Rin: "This concludes the conflict for now. The Red Faction secured victory this time."

Sisigou: "It makes sense for me to cooperate with the Black Faction at this point. It's the best option."

Waver: "Even with unity, defeating the remaining enemies won't be easy."

Sisigou: "True. Karna alone is an overwhelming challenge."

[The first question ended, and the second question began.]

[This question is a multiple-answer type. Questions will be asked periodically during the video. Each question has a three-minute answer window. Participants will earn 3 Saint Quartz for a correct answer, lose 1 for a wrong answer, and gain nothing if no one answers correctly.]

[Please watch the next video.]

Tohsaka Rin: "The format of this question is different."

Sisigou: "It looks like this will pick up where yesterday's left off, covering El-Melloi II and the girl named Gray."

Artoria: "Gray…"

Perhaps today's session would finally answer the lingering questions she had carried for so long.

The video began.
