Impossible's Wish

"Rider of Red! Archer of Red!"

Seeing the two servants from the Red Faction suddenly appear in front of her and block her way, Jeanne suddenly noticed something.

"The Archer of Black has lost...!?"

Jeanne was at a loss when she noticed the great sage in Greek mythology had completely disappeared.

"What's so surprising, Saint?"

Achilles carried his spear on his shoulders, smiling with his eyes closed.

"Isn't it a normal thing for the disciple to surpass the teacher?"

The meaning of those words was extremely clear and everyone present knew what Achiless meant by those words.

Chiron was defeated, and he was defeated by his ex-disciple, the demigod hero in Greek mythology, Achilles.

If someone looked closely at Achilles, they would notice that he was covered in wounds and bruises, there was even a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, showing that he had gone through a fierce battle.

However, the result of the battle was Chiron's defeat and Achiless's victory.

"You don't need to worry."

Achilles didn't open his eyes, as if he was afraid that his eyes would betray his inner emotions that were tormented by the sadness of killing his own teacher. Then in this state, he said to Jeanne.

"I didn't touch the siblings. The teacher has taken care of them so I won't kill them."

It seemed that after defeating Chiron and surprising his ex-teacher, Achilles didn't have joy in his heart, but rather sadness and guilt, causing his feelings to be mixed at this moment.

Even Atalanta, who was standing beside Achiless, seemed to be in a bad mood.

"The victor of my battle hasn't been decided yet, but you have ignored my opinion and directly transferred me over?"

Staring at Semiramis, Atalanta tried to hold the anger on her heart.

However, Atalanta's words made the people present feel quite surprised.

Chiron was defeated, but Astolfo, who wasn't that strong or rather quite weak, hadn't lost and could fight against Atalanta until now.

However, they felt that it was quite normal, considering the number of Noble Phantasms that was owned by Astolfo was a lot.

Relying on those Noble Phantasms, even if Astolfo couldn't defeat Atalanta, he could protect himself and his master easily.

Jeanne could feel Astolfo's breath still lingering outside, and seemed to be dealing with the Dragon Tooth Warriors on the outside.

After dealing with all of that, Astolfo might probably reunite with Fiore and Caules.

"So..."

Achilles pointed his spear toward Jeanne as if he was planning to get rid of the complicated emotions in his heart.

"You're my next opponent?"

Even if Achilles didn't have a desire to fight, he still did his job as a servant and he would never escape the battle before him.

Even Atalanta also raised her bow silently. She might not feel good about being manipulated by Semiramis, but even with all of that, as a huntress, she wouldn't let go of the prey in front of her.

Looking at these two Greek heroes, Jeanne's eyes changed.

"Do you really want to fight?"

Jeanne stared at Achilles and Atalanta then said, "What Amakusa Shirou Tokisada does is undoubtedly wrong, and as heroes, are you going to help his wrongdoings?"

Jeanne's question caused the eyes of Achilles and Atalanta to flicker slightly.

"Wrong?" Atalanta cast a sharp gaze on Jeanne, and said coldly, "Why can you be so clear that what he has been doing is wrong?"

"Because my "Revelation," told me so," Jeanne said without hesitation, staring at both of them. "Even if it is baseless, I believe that what Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is doing for humans in this era, no, even in this world, it's a wrong thing."

"...Really?" Atalanta said, but her face became even colder than before, and she said to Jeanne, "But, saint, I think what that man is going to do is something that is worth supporting by all the heroic spirits."

"What are you talking about?" Jeanne was startled by Atalanta's words.

"You don't know what the priest is going to do with the Holy Grail, right?" Achilles also looked at Jeanne and said, "He's going to use the Holy Grail to realize his wish, and his wish is...

"To save all the humanity...

"In other words, he's going to hope for the salvation of all the humans in this world."

When this sentence came to Jeanne's ears, she almost stopped her breath.

Salvation for all the humans in this world?

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's wish was to save humanity?

This kind of thing...

"Do you think it's impossible, right?" Achilles could see the expression of disbelief on Jeanne and said, "Why do you think it is impossible? You're also a saint, right? Although I don't like him, his wish is pure and it is coming from his heart. He has decided to use the Holy Grail to give salvation to all the humans in this world."

The Greek demigod hero said this to Jeanne without any hesitation.

Even Atalanta on the side also nodded.

"I have the same opinion. Even if that man feels very unpleasant, his wish is something that is worthy of my support. He has also been standing here until now because of that belief and he's going to use the Holy Grail to save all the humans in this world without hesitation."

In other words, the madman's wish was to give salvation to all mankind in this world.

Why?

Such a question appeared on Jeanne's mind, but then when she recalled Achiless's words, she understood that even if Amakusa Shirou Tokisada was only a saint from a small country, died miserably, and his popularity wasn't as popular as Jeanne, but Shirou was also a hero who believed in the miracle of the Lord.

As long as someone is called a saint, their greatest ideal is undoubtedly to save all humans in the world.

However, so far, no saint or hero had even saved the world.

The "save" in the previous sentence didn't mean protecting human beings in crisis or disaster, but saving humanity in the real sense and that is...

"To create an ideal world without disputes, desires, evil, and sins."

Atalanta said those words to Jeanne.

"That's the wish of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada."

Such words made Jeanne silent because this wish was impossible to achieve. Shaking her head, she said, "The Holy Grail has its own limit." She let out a sigh and said, "Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's wish can't be realized at all."

Such a thing was normal since even if the Holy Grail was powerful, its strength wasn't enough to realize such an impossible wish, especially when the Holy Grail that was on Shirou's hand was the Holy Grail that was made by a Magecraft ritual, even if there was a real Holy Grail, Shirou's wish was impossible to achieve.

In response, Achilles and Atalanta also fell into silence with complicated expressions. Both of them also understood that Shirou's wish was basically impossible to realize.

Even if Shirou had found a way to realize his wish, no one would truly believe that his wish could be truly realized.

Even if in theory, it was possible to achieve such a wish, but...

"However, we have no reason to refute his theory."

Atalanta said stubbornly, then she raised her bow again, and said, "If this the case, then there's no reason to persuade you anymore."

"Sorry, saint."

Achilles also held his spear, and fixed his eyes on Jeanne, ready for the battle.

"You need to die here."

The fight between them was already inevitable.
