Chapter 50

"Yewen! Torre he..."

Yueke couldn't be as relaxed as Levi. While worrying about Levi's injuries, she was also concerned about the existence of the Berserker. This prematurely matured girl, due to her experiences, showed a side that should have been typical for her age.

"He won't die."

Though her words were casual, Yewen, who had already witnessed Levi's injury through the crystal ball, had a face as cold as ice.

"As for you,"

She pulled the giant, who was desperately trying to withdraw his sword, to the front with a simple gesture of her small hand.

"Die!"

There were no flashy visual effects, just a simple, common straight punch. Given the size difference, it was like an adult playing with a child.

Bang!

The seemingly playful little fist, upon touching the Berserker's body, produced a terrifying sound as if hit by a high-speed train at close range.

Smashing through countless towering trees, flying over the beach that Levi had already cleared of sand, the massive body of the Berserker fell heavily into the vast sea. The huge waves he caused even affected Tohsaka Shinji, who was far on the other side of the beach, pulling him into the water before he could escape.

There was no need to confirm the result of that punch; Yewen had absolute confidence in her own strength.

"Hmph! If I had known, I shouldn't have let you..."

She wanted to scold them, but seeing the tears still on Eve's face, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Yewen huffed, flapped her black cloak, and lightly floated into the air. Someone had to bear the responsibility for her lover's injuries, and her anger was destined to be taken out on the culprit!

"Rik, Rak, Ra, Rak, Lirak! Queen of Ice! By the contract, I command you! Come forth! Eternal darkness! Eternal ice! Grant all living things an equal death! This is rest!"

A magician of Yewen's level could almost effortlessly defeat enemies with a casual wave. The moment she recited the long incantation, it meant the other party was already on the path to destruction.

"End of the world!"

Ice spikes appeared out of nowhere, like a terrifying scene of the end of the world, sweeping down from the sky. With a near-absolute zero temperature, they instantly froze the seawater, covering an area of two to three football fields, along with the trapped Berserker.

Snap.

With a light snap of Yewen's fingers, the ice crystals, as hard as rock, shattered.

Eve stared blankly at the incredible scene before her. The seawater, air, and everything at the location where the Berserker had been, seemed to vanish from the world, leaving no trace of its existence.

Unbelievable, Eve couldn't believe that the Heroic Spirit that had left her and Levi helpless could be so easily destroyed by Yewen.

—Didn't he have twelve lives? Wasn't he known as the greatest hero of ancient Greece?

As a Heroic Spirit herself, she knew better than anyone what it looked like when a Heroic Spirit perished. The faint blue light lingering over the sea, unwilling to dissipate, wasn't it the last trace of the Berserker's will?

Witnessing the end of a Heroic Spirit, could she also...

"What are you staring at?"

"Huh."

The hand that suddenly patted her head brought Eve back from her sorrow. Turning to look at the owner of the hand, Eve seemed to forget her momentary sadness.

—That's right, I'll stay here.

Repeating the sentence like a mantra, Eve smiled faintly at the man beside her.

"Yewen, you had fun, didn't you?"

Seeing Eve return to normal, Levi turned his gaze to the vampire girl still hovering in the air.

"Idiot! You, you..."

She wanted to scold him harshly, but when she saw his right shoulder was empty, Yewen's words stopped.

"Yewen, quickly use magic to help Torre..."

Eve, who had just realized, turned to Yewen, who had just cast a destructive spell. Midway through her plea, she suddenly remembered that Levi had mentioned in a conversation that Yewen, due to her immortality, knew almost nothing about healing magic.

"Sigh, if it was just broken, it could be reattached, but now, I'm sorry."

The mysterious black-haired Heroic Spirit appeared beside them. Looking at Levi's missing arm, she sighed helplessly.

"Haha, I read a novel recently where the one-armed protagonist was quite likable. Now it's perfect. Luckily, I'm left-handed, so it won't be too much trouble."

The sad and lost expression on the girl's face was what Levi found hardest to resist. Pretending nothing was wrong, he joked with Eve.

But Eve's current state clearly wasn't the time for praise. It was Hikari, slowly approaching, who seemed to believe Levi's joke.

"Really? I always see you using your right hand."

Hikari's innocent demeanor dispelled Yewen's temporary anxiety. The calmed vampire girl thought seriously.

—There are quite a few people who can heal injuries of this severity.

Yewen's mind conjured up the image of a classmate.

"Hey, where's the Berserker?"

The voice of the late-arriving protagonist, one of the true participants in the Holy Grail War, the mage Tohsaka Rin, came from the direction of the villa.

"Can't sense any presence. Could it be that it couldn't maintain its summoning here?"

Rin, who had followed Levi as the second person to enter the villa and had been hiding inside, missed Yewen's impressive display. She hadn't even known about Levi's injury.

"That kind of trash, I, I already took care of it!"

Yewen landed from the air, standing between Rin and the others, right in front of Levi. This six-hundred-year-old vampire progenitor had the same mentality as a child trying to cover up a mistake in front of an adult.

"Huh? Levi! Your hand..."

One can't help but admire the intuition of a girl. Yewen's attempt to hide Levi's injury not only failed but also drew Rin's attention. Taking a few steps to the side, she discovered Levi, leaning against a tree trunk, with his right shoulder empty.

"A minor injury. Just, will it be a bit impolite to shake hands with my left hand in the future?"

"Idiot! Stop pretending to be funny!"

Taking a large gem from her pocket, Rin ran a few steps to Levi. Kneeling down, she found the bleeding had already stopped.

Looking up at the women around her, when she saw Hikari nod, she realized her Servant had already used magic to secretly treat Levi's wound.

"Stop talking and get him to treatment quickly!"

With a doctor in mind, Yewen had no time to waste. She pulled Levi away from Eve, soared into the sky, and flew to the top floor of the villa, where the teleportation array was located.

The others quickly followed Yewen, leaving the almost completely destroyed resort.

After that, on the now peaceful island, in a distant, unnoticed place, a forgotten figure, with the last of its will, struggled to climb onto the beach after the storm.
