There was no response.
Black Mud is dangerous to ordinary people and Magecraft; contact with it will contaminate and corrode them, eventually leading to mental breakdown.
Mayuri possesses angelic attributes and inherent purifying power.
The Black Mud turned into harmless black residue as soon as it touched the skin and fell off on its own.
Mayuri flew to about 200 meters, stopped in mid-air, and looked down.
About a third of the Tohsaka Residence has been covered by Black Mud.
The crack in the sky was about ten meters in diameter, and Black Mud was still flowing out.
The energy in the crack comes from the remaining magic within the Holy Grail.
The rift will close once the Holy Grail is destroyed and its supply cut off.
The Holy Grail is in the basement.
It's now covered in Black Mud.
Mayuri looked up at the higher place.
Thunder Sanctuary.
The black sphere still hangs in the sky above eastern Fuyuki City.
Mayuri gave it instructions.
The sphere began to expand.
This time, the full form of the Sword of Blazing Flame isn't needed; the minimum output is enough.
The sphere stopped rising to about thirty meters, and a fist-sized blue-white light spot condensed at its front end.
Minimum output.
This attack likely used only a fraction of the energy of the attack against Saber.
That's enough to destroy a mansion covered in Black Mud and the golden Holy Grail in the basement.
"Emission."
A blue-white beam of light, about two meters in diameter, shot out from the Thunder Sanctuary.
A beam of light fell vertically from the sky, piercing through the black crack in the sky, smashing through the roof of the Tohsaka Residence, the first floor slab, the basement ceiling, and striking the Holy Grail in the center of the basement.
The golden Holy Grail shattered within the pillar of light.
The Holy Grail was destroyed.
The black crack in the sky lost its energy.
The tear began to close.
Ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters.
Ten seconds later, the crack closed.
The Black Mud has stopped too.
The Black Mud that has already flowed out is still piled up around the Tohsaka Residence, and there is a lot of it, enough to flood about half a street up to waist height.
Mayuri hung in mid-air, looking down at the dark red swamp.
Those that have already leaked out also need to be dealt with.
Just as she thought that, she sensed the presence of two living people.
They're all in the Black Mud.
Mayuri focused on distinguishing them.
The first one was in his original spot in the study; his breathing was weak, but still relatively steady.
Tokiomi Tohsaka.
After Mayuri knocked him unconscious, she placed him on the study floor.
He was flooded after the Black Mud rushed into the mansion.
But the person is still alive.
The Black Mud would be deadly to an ordinary person, but perhaps the Magecraft's body held up, and he didn't die immediately.
Continuing to soak like that definitely won't work.
The second breath was weaker, coming from another room in the mansion.
Sakura Matou.
Mayuri squinted.
Sakura Matou was also submerged in the Black Mud.
She was more vulnerable than Tokiomi Tohsaka, a little girl who had been modified by the Matou Family, and still had traces of the Crest Worms modifying her Magic Circuits in her body.
She is alive too.
Mayuri stared at the Black Mud below, pausing for a few seconds.
never mind.
Let's consider the past relationship between Master Servant.
Mayuri folded her wings and fell from mid-air.
She fell into waist-deep, dark red mud.
The Black Mud was purified upon contact with her body.
There was a space of about half a meter around her, and the mud turned into black sludge and sank down.
Mayuri trudged through the mud, heading towards the direction of Tokiomi Tohsaka's presence.
With each step, a chunk of Black Mud disappears from underfoot.
Once she reached the spot, she put her hand into the mud.
It touched the fabric.
It's the collar of Tokiomi Tohsaka's burgundy suit.
Mayuri the collar and pulled him out of the mud.
Tokiomi Tohsaka was covered in blackish-red mud, all over his face, hair, and clothes.
The hemostatic gemstone at the site of the fracture on her right wrist still glowed with a faint red light.
The person is still unconscious.
Mayuri the collar, waded through the mud to the outer perimeter of the mansion, and placed him on the grass that wasn't covered by the Black Mud.
Then he turned around and went back.
The second one.
The scent of Sakura Matou in a room on the east side of the mansion.
Mayuri stepped into the mud again, walked about twenty steps, and arrived at her destination.
She reached in and touched a tiny body.
Much lighter than Tokiomi Tohsaka.
Mayuri.
Black Mud slid off the little girl.
Mayuri saw Sakura Matou's face.
It's different from what I've seen before.
The difference is significant.
My hair has changed.
Originally Sakura Matou's hair was purple. That was probably a side effect of the Matou Family's Crest Worms modifying her Magic Circuits, turning her original black hair purple.
Her hair is now white.
Pure white.
My hair turned completely white from root to tip.
Her skin was also whiter, almost porcelain-white.
What are the effects of Black Mud?
Or is it a remnant of Angra Mainyu?
Mayuri cannot be identified at the moment.
However, one thing is certain.
Sakura Matou is still alive.
Breathing, heartbeat, body temperature—it's all there.
He just fainted.
A stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Mayuri carried the white-haired little girl out of the Black Mud and placed her on the grass next to Tokiomi Tohsaka.
Both of them are settled in.
Mayuri took a few steps back and turned to look at the dark red swamp.
The Tohsaka Residence had been completely swallowed up, with only a small corner of the roof visible.
Several nearby residential buildings that had already been evacuated were also flooded with mud up to the first floor.
The entire street looked as if it had been swept away by a black and red flood.
They cannot stay.
This Black Mud carries the curse of Angra Mainyu; if left unattended, it will seep into the soil and groundwater, continuing to pollute the area.
Let's clean it up.
Mayuri looked up.
The Thunder Sanctuary remains on standby high in the sky.
The electric arc on the surface of the sphere lit up again, and a reddish-gold light flowed across the black sphere.
Mayuri issued the order.
Energy begins to accumulate inside the sphere.
This time, I won't use the Sword of Blazing Flame.
One lightning ball is enough.
A crimson lightning ball, more than ten meters wide, separated from the Thunder Sanctuary.
Electric arcs danced wildly across the surface of the lightning ball, illuminating the surrounding air.
After confirming that Tokiomi Tohsaka and Sakura Matou were both outside the safe zone, Mayuri ordered the deployment.
A crimson ball of lightning fell from the sky.
The glowing sphere, accompanied by a piercing electric arc, crashed into the center of the area covered in Black Mud.
boom.
The entire street was swallowed up by the shockwave.
The dark red mud was burned away in the burst of lightning.
The Tohsaka Residence is gone.
The nearby abandoned houses are also gone.
The Black Mud is gone.
A layer of ground was also shaved off.
It left behind a large circular crater with a diameter of over one hundred meters.
The soil at the bottom of the pit was heated to a glass-like surface, reflecting a dim light under the moonlight.
The air was filled with only the smell of ozone and scorched earth.
The putrid stench of the Black Mud has disappeared.
It's clean now.
Mayuri landed on the grass at the edge of the crater and looked at her work.
The Tohsaka Residence is gone.
The Tohsaka Family home, which had stood for hundreds of years, was gone just like that.
Tokiomi Tohsaka will probably be very heartbroken when he wakes up.
Mayuri thought for a moment.
This is none of her business.
She turned to look at Tokiomi Tohsaka and Sakura Matou lying on the grass.
Both of them are still unconscious.
The hemostatic gemstone at the site of Tokiomi Tohsaka's severed right hand is still working, and he is not in immediate danger of death.
His severed right hand, which had been on the desk, was now gone along with the desk, destroyed by the lightning ball.
From now on, I'll probably only have one hand left.
Sakura Matou lay quietly, her white hair gleaming silver in the moonlight.
It's hard to say what she'll be like when she wakes up.
Footsteps could be heard in the distance.
soon.
Someone is running this way.
Mayuri head to look.
A man with light blond hair ran out from around the street corner a few hundred meters away.
He wore a black coat and stood ramrod straight.
Kayneth El- El-Melloi Archibald.
He probably sensed the huge magical fluctuations at the Tohsaka Residence and came to check.
Kayneth ran to the edge of the pit and stopped.
He saw a large pit.
The circular depression, over 100 meters in diameter, had scorched earth at the bottom, which had turned into a glassy state, and the surrounding grassland was also scorched by the shock wave.
There's nothing left on the site where the Tohsaka Residence used to be.
There wasn't even a foundation left.
Then Kayneth saw Mayuri standing at the edge of the pit.
His four wings were tucked behind him, and his face remained unchanged.
Then he saw Tokiomi Tohsaka lying on the grass, and a little girl with white hair.
Kayneth was standing there.
He opened his mouth.
Then it closed again.
A few seconds passed.
"... what happened?"
Mayuri looked at him.
The Holy Grail War is over.
