--- When Primis left Ophis to take care of the Twins ---

Primis kept on walking deeper and deeper alone without initiating any conversation with either Twilight, Satella or others. They also remained quiet.

Finally, he saw an entrance leading to the deepest part of the cave.

He didn't even enter yet he could feel a huge amount of magic coming from inside. It was so dense that the entrance was glowing in reddish-pink magic color.

Without stopping, he kept on walking.

WIU!!!

Zenith Gun-Blade appeared in his hand as he finally approached the entrance and walked inside.

What greeted him was a stony path on top of a volcano which was leading towards the pillar of the infinite magic at the end. In other words.........

Primis: The Greater Grail.

???: You are here.

While Primis was looking at it, a voice resounded in the room.

Turning his head towards the source of the voice, he looked at the platform in the very middle of the lava lake. Looking at it, he couldn't help but sigh.

Primis: As the saying goes. One could survive the fury of God, but one can't survive self-brought calamity.

Pausing for a second, he continued.

Primis: Isn't that right, Sakura Matou.

WOOBLE!!

WOOBLE!!!

WOOBLE!!!

...

…

As if answering him, black ribbon crawl out of the lava below before gathering at the center of the platform. Then they separated and a girl could be seen there.

The girl had white hair and red eyes. A purple ribbon was tied on her hair at the left side. She wore a long black dress made of black ribbons, that were trimmed in red. The length of the dress and the length of the ribbons it was composed of vary. Her face, dress and legs were also covered in red markings.

The girl, Sakura Matou showed an evil and cruel smile while looking at Primis.

Sakura: You are absolutely right. That man really overestimated his abilities, thinking by absorbing me and the piece of the Corrupted Grail inside me, he could become a lot stronger.

Primis: He was not wrong though.

Sakura: Yes, he was not. But because of the greed for power, he forgot one thing. And that is, I am the main Heroine of this world.

Primis: ........................…You read his memory.

Sakura: Indeed. It really came unexpected to me knowing he knew about my future or the future of this world.

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: Anyway. The Hero and the Heroine are the main focus point of the world. In other words, if they faced some kind of danger, the very World will itself make its move to protect them.

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: It's true that the right of the Hero was taken from Shirou, the moment you took Saber from him, but it will still take time for the World to remove its high fate and protection from him. And that was that man's mistake.

Primis: ..................…It's true that the Hero and Heroine are the main focus of the world, but their fate is also connected with each other.

Sakura: Exactly. That man would have succeeded if he had tried to absorb me before killing the Shirou. But they did the opposite.

Primis: ..................…Because they killed Shirou Emiya first, all of the fate and protection given to him by the world was transferred to you.

Sakura: Yes. As a result, I got the upper hand and absorbed that man instead. Because of that.........

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge amount of power was released from her body.

Sakura: I have become a lot stronger than I would be in the plot.

Primis: ..................

Sakura: With the power of 6th-Dimensional God along with the infinite power of the Grail, I am unbeatable.

Even in the presence of so much power, Primis remained unfazed while looking at Sakura.

Primis: You hate me, don't you?

Sakura: ..................

Smile faded from Sakura's face hearing this, and rage appeared.

Sakura: Hate you? No, hate is the very small word. I abhor you! I despise you! I detest you! I loathe you!

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: Even though that man used some kind of backup plan to destroy his mind so that I can't access all of his memories, I still learnt some relevant ones. Like they have come here for you.

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: If you weren't here then they won't have come. Shirou would have become the Master of Saber and would still be the main protagonist of the world. In the end, he would have saved me like how a hero saved his princess and we would live happily after.........But everything changed because of you!!!!!!!

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: You are the one who took Shirou away from me!!!!! You are the one who stole our happiness!!!!!

Primis: ..................…I see.

Replied Primis as she started walking towards her.

Noticing how he was still indifferent as before, Sakura face turned ugly.

CRACKLE!!!

A black shadow appeared on the ground in front of Primis before it started releasing ominous red glow.

Next, a Shadow Giant as big as Einzbern Castle came out of it. And it was not just one, even more came out and surrounded Primis in a circle.

Sakura: As I have said before, I know about the plot. So, I also know that my sister used the "Jeweled Sword of Zelretch" to defeat me...........................…However, you don't have it right now.

Primis: ..................…

Sakura: I will take that silence of your as yes. This means.........…you can't win.

FWOOSH!!!!!!!!!

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sakura smirked as one of the Shadow Giant smashed its hand on Primis, engulfing him and destroying the area.

Since she didn't think Primis would go down like this, she was waiting for his move. And then she heard his voice.

Primis: Sakura, why don't we leave the fight of Shadows to the Shadows.

Sakura: Huh?

As she was becoming confused, the destroyed area all of sudden got covered in purple shadows before countless tendrils shot out of them and destroyed Sakura's Shadow Giants.

Sakura: This......…

A dumbfounded expression appeared on Sakura's face as she again saw Primis walking towards her. Though this time, his shadow behind had turned purple and was enveloping all the area behind him.

Primis: Hearing I come, Sakura Matou.

SWOOSH!!!

Leaving a trail of the blue Zenith behind, Primis appeared behind Sakura and attacked.

SLASH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

GRIND!!!

CLAING!!!

Though the black ribbons moved and blocked him.

Primis didn't think much about it as his finger moved and pulled the trigger.

CLICK!!!

BANG!!!

SPLURT!!!

He used "Shot" which resulted in having a bloody hole appeared on Sakura's shoulder.

Sakura: Guh!!

FWOOSH!!

Sakura groaned as the black ribbons attacked Primis who jumped back and dodged them. And before they could follow, Primis opened the fist of his free left-hand. Once he did that, blue colored sparkles appeared in his opened hand and.........…

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

Many small explosions occurred.

THUD!!!

Landing on the ground, Primis activated his Zenith gaze and saw through the dust and smoke in front of him.

He then pointed his Gun-Blade at Sakura's position and clicked the trigger.

CLICK!!!

A huge blue fireball shot out of it towards Sakura.

FWOOSH!!!!!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This time a huge explosion occurred.

The impact was so big that the entire platform crumbled and both Sakura and Primis fell.

The Shadow Giants who Sakura created while in the dust cloud, tried to catch her but purple shadows shots shot towards them, destroying them again.

SPLASH!!!

Sakura fell into the lava lake while Primis landed on its surface.

Just like how he could walk on the water, he could do the same on any liquid surface.

In normal scenario, almost everyone would avoid standing on the lava. Not only because of risk of falling into it but also because of its heat. This heat was enough to burn one's skin.

Nevertheless, Primis was still fine. He was not even using his Zenith to cover his body as a protector. Why? Because compared to Cultivators, Magicians, or other who rely most on their qi, magic or so on. Primis very body was strong to hand all of it.

Advantage of being an Allrounder.

As he was waiting, some black ribbons came out of the lava in intention of grabbing his leg and dragging him inside.

Primis in return moved swiftly and dodged all of them. While he was doing so, he opened his Gun-Blade as an empty shell jumped out.

TING!!

HISS!!!

Letting that shell fell into the lava, Primis put new bullets into the barrel.

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

...

…

More and more red ribbons came out of the lava as Primis kept on dodging them.

This went on for an hour.

By now anyone can tell that Sakura had no intention of coming out and planned to attack from the distance.

With time, even Shadow Giants started coming out of the lava to attack him. Still, they were all blocked and destroyed by Satella's shadows.

FWOOSH!!!

After dodging one more black ribbon, he looked down. To be more precise, towards the Sakura's position.

Even though Lava was in the way, his "Zenith Gaze" easily penetrated through this hot rocks and saw Sakura inside.

Primis: Since you have no plan of coming out, I will come for you instead.

SWOOSH!!!

SPLASH!!!

Saying this, Primis entered the lava himself and shot towards Sakura.

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!

...

…

Many ribbons tried to attack or grab him, but he shot past them with hardly any efforts.

Soon, Sakura could be seen. She had shocked expression on her face since she never expected Primis to enter the lava. She thought Primis would also try to attack using range attacks like that huge blue fireball like before.

Once he was in front of her, he attacked.

And just like that Battle went on.

.

.

.

.

BOOOM!!!!!

SLASH!!!!!

BANG!!!!

FWOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!

Time went by as many explosions occurred in the deepest part of the cave. Many columns of Lava rose. With time the place started getting more and more destroyed.

.

.

.

.

Six hours later.

Primis was standing on top of a huge, destroyed rock while looking down at the Sakura who was currently standing in the middle of lava lake surrounded by black ribbons and Shadow Giants.

Neither of them had a scratch on their body. But if one will look into Sakura's eyes, you can tell that she was tired.

Gritting her teeth, she shouted.

Sakura: Why don't you just die already!

Primis: ...............…You think you are strong enough to kill me.

Sakura: Tsk.

Hearing this, she clicked her tongue in frustration.

No matter what she would do, Primis would easily fend them off. In their fight till now, she failed to even land a single hit on him. On the other hand, he succeeded many times. If not because of the power given to her by the Grail, then she would have died countless times by now.

Primis: Even though you have the power of 6th-Dimensional God and infinite magic power from Grail, your battle experience is none. Your condition is just like a kid who somehow get his hand on a Holy Sword but has no idea how to wield it.

Sakura: Are you mocking me!!!?

Ignoring her indignation, Primis opened his mouth to speak when the blue command seal under his leather glove started glowing in weak light and.........

[DING!!!]

[DING!!!]

[DING!!!]

[DING!!!]

[DING!!!]

[DING!!!]

...

...

Many Twilights prompts appeared in front of him.

[A new Noble Phantasm "Bellerophon" has been registered.]

[A new Noble Phantasm "Blood Fort Andromeda" has been registered.]

[A new Noble Phantasm "Gáe Bolg" has been registered.]

[A new Noble Phantasm "God Hand" has been registered.]

[A new Noble Phantasm "Nine Lives" has been registered.]

[A new Noble Phantasm "Unlimited Blade Works" has been registered.]

Primis kept on looking at them in silence.

[...........................They are gone, Primis...........................All of them including Illyasviel von Einzbern and Rin Tohsaka.]

Hearing this, Primis closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

'Primis: ........................…It seems so.'

However, at this moment, all the Shadow Giants lunged at him. Primis's purple shadow also moved to attack them but......…

{Primis: It's ok, Satella.}

{Satalla: Huh?}

{Primis: Pull back your shadows.}

{Satella: Why?}

Opening his eyes, Primis looked at the Shadow Giants that were falling on him.

{Primis: Because its time to end this.}

BANG!!!!

Once he was done saying, Shadow Giants covered.

Looking at the place, which was now covered with her Shadow Giants, Sakura frowned.

Sakura: Did I get him?

And then.........

SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A pure golden-white light exploded from Primis location and all the Shadow Giants over him disintegrated into nothing.

Sakura: ............…

Sakura took a step back as she had never seen such pure light before.

Primis was standing in the middle of that light. No, to be more specific that light was coming out of him.

Primis: I spent a lot of time in the "Reverse side of the World" and do many things. And this is one of thing I succeeded in creating.

Sakura: ............…

Sakura didn't understand what Primis was saying.

Primis: Rejoice, Sakura. You are the very first person to face it.

When he said that, a light slowly came out of Primis body and started to hover in the sky.

Because of excessive light, Sakura had to cover her eyes, though from the gaps on her fingers she realized that it was not just a mere light, it was symbol.

Primis: Meet my 9th Incantation Symbol. "Holy Incantation Symbol".

Sakura: Holy Incantation Symbol................................................ Wait a minute. In the entire history, there is one person you use Incantation Symbols. And that person is.........

Sakura faced turned pale as she finally realized Primis identity.

'Sakura: The Black Swordsman!!!!'

Primis: This is the end..............................Farewell, Sakura Matou.

And then "Holy Incantation Symbol" exploded in the brightest light.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KA-BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
