Entry 151:

Linus Ozias POV:

The two saints stare at one another before rushing towards one another, their flags meeting and sparking as they clash over and over again, with each strike causing quakes across the city.

In the original story, the saint would not be able to match up to our dark counterpart as she is connected to the Holy Grail, thus granting her a large amount of magical energy to augment herself with.

But I am here, and with Jeanne connected to me, I am essentially acting as an infinite magical generator for her to use so that she is able to match her darker counterpart.

All the other servants watch as the battle continues, with Ritsuka pulling popcorn from her suit's inventory somehow.

But for now, Tamamo and Ritsuka are enjoying the popcorn as Kiyohime and Siegfried watch the battle unfold. Siegfried asks, "Should we help her?" Kiyohime is the first to answer, "No dragon slayer, as this is a battle for more than just victory but to prove whose ideals and existence can be proven. We do not interfere."

Soon enough, the dark Jeanne activates her Noble Phantasm: "This is the howl of a soul filled with hatred! La Grondement Du Haine!"

Her pure hatred for France and the world is shown through the dark fire enveloping Jeanne as she remains steadfast as she says, "I can feel the hatred you hold from these flames, and while you may not be an alternative of myself, I can understand where such hatred came from."

Jeanne begins to glow as she continues, "I remember my death, and I knew that even though I did not wish to die, I accepted it as a part of his plan, and while you may not be me, you could have been what I could be and I accept that."

.

Jeanne then activates her Noble Phantasm for the first time, and her flag spreads a golden light across the city as she shouts with fervor, "Oh flag of mine, protect our comrades! Luminosité Eternelle!"

Her light spreads through the church as the ruined city is bathed in holy light, and her Noble Phantasm soon spreads across France due to her being connected to me.

With every passing second, all the skeletons and wyverns disintegrated, and the flames of hatred put out. As the light fades and the Noble Phantasm ends, Jalter can be seen almost in a trance-like state, as if remembering a prior experience.

She then looks at me, and I nod as she rushes Jeanne, who simply dodges and runs Jalter through with the flag's spear end. At that moment, Jalter smiles as she says, "I don't hear the voices anymore. You truly are the real saint, and while I can never apologize for what I've done, I welcome this fate."

I then walk up next to her. As she begins to disappear, she says, "What are you? Can you show me one last time?" I nod as I show her what I am in her mind. As she smiles and says, "So you were there. That makes me feel better. Take this."

She hands me her flag as she disappears and says, "I hope to see you again, my Lord, and may our Wrath burn all those who threaten Humanity."

The holy grail then drops to my foot, and I pick it up as I see the other servants look at me as I ask, "You all only have a couple of minutes before you begin to disappear, and I shall ask who wishes to follow us?"

Siegfried drops to one knee as he asks, along with Kiyohime and Queen Antoinette, and even Mozart, "We will follow you, so we swear to uphold the human order."

I then reach out and form contracts with them all, but I do manipulate Mozart's mind a bit as I see something that makes me rather angry.

But I do not show it on my face. As if I did nothing, Mozart nods along with Elizabeth entering the room as she says, "I have a feeling we will meet again, so I will not be coming along with you all besides an existence as beautiful as myself shall always exist."
