The appearance of the black sun attracted everyone's attention.

Tokiomi ran frantically towards the mountaintop as though he had gone mad.

Scathach and Saber halted their duel and entered Ryuudou Temple.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had just awakened, disregarded his weakened body and struggled to stand up.

Meanwhile, Shinji, no longer a mere bystander, descended from the sky.

The moment he landed, a pure radiance shot out from the cavity, condensing into an indeterminate figure.

Spirit particles continuously overflowed from the figure, gradually blurring its form, resembling a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of dissipating at any moment.

"Lady Justeaze!"

Shinji quickly moved to the side of the contracted party, whose face was already indistinguishable, and desperately infused magical energy into the contract. However, he was startled to find that the effect was not evident.

"What's happening? How did it come to this?"

"Shinji, use a Command Spell immediately, hurry!" Scathach's voice was like a wake-up call, snapping the panicked disciple back to his senses.

"I command you by the Command Spell, Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, stabilize the magical foundation."

"I command you with the second Command Spell, Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, stabilize the magical foundation."

"I command you with the third Command Spell..."

Without hesitation, Shinji activated the additional Command Spells on his right arm, channeling the magical energy that contained a power close to miracles into Justeaze.

One Command Spell wasn't enough, two weren't enough, and three weren't enough. As long as he could protect Justeaze, Shinji didn't hesitate to exhaust all of his Command Spells.

With the replenishment of magical energy, Justeaze's condition gradually stabilized. Although there were still sporadic spirit particles spreading outward, her spiritual foundation had stabilized, eliminating the risk of her soul scattering.

"That's enough, don't waste any more precious Command Spells," Justeaze said, her voice artificially calm but weary, halting Shinji, who had already used five Command Spells and was about to use the sixth.

At this point, Shinji was drenched in sweat, his body exhausted. The excessive consumption of magical energy prevented the "Hades Cloak" from maintaining its physical form. This child, who had revealed his true identity, replaced the black sun as the new focal point.

Emiya Kiritsugu, with a deathly pale complexion, mechanically nodded his head. "Saber, destroy the Holy Grail immediately."

"W-Wait, Master," Saber looked bewildered. She hadn't yet understood the situation. Weren't they supposed to obtain the Holy Grail? Why did they suddenly want to destroy it?

"Irisviel, what's going on?"

"Uh, well, you see..." Irisviel struggled to explain because the intricacies of the situation were too complex.

"In simple terms, the current Holy Grail is no longer an all-powerful wish-granting machine. It has become a collection of curses. If someone makes a wish to it, the sealed curses inside will completely overflow... Well, conservatively estimating, it could destroy the entire Fuyuki City."

Upon hearing Shinji's explanation, Saber's expression changed slightly, and the tuft of hair on top of her head trembled gently.

"Is that true, Master, Irisviel?"

"Yes," receiving confirmation from their side, Saber raised her holy sword without hesitation.

"Something like this must be destroyed—"

"Hold on!" Scathach interjected, standing in front of Saber with her dual spears.

"Assassin?"

"We haven't settled our fight yet!"

"Assassin!" This time even Shinji couldn't help but speak up. "Is now really the time to discuss this?"

"Of course, it is," Scathach's tone was resolute. "If we don't settle it now, it will truly be too late, my disciple."

"Disciple?" Shinji was slightly taken aback. Weren't they supposed to avoid using that term while in disguise?

Vaguely, Shinji felt that something was off. His gaze shifted downward—

Wait, where's my cloak?

Does that mean I'm revealing my true identity now?

Suddenly, Shinji became extremely uneasy.
