I'll kill you after I finish this game!

If you act on a whim, that would be troublesome and extremely dangerous.

Fujii Ren wanted Shirou to understand what she meant, but...

"Don't worry, I'm the person who knows the situation best here."

Shirou seemed to sense Fujii Ren's unease and smiled fearlessly.

"Because I extracted the information from that tiny woman's body. Neither you nor that woman over there understands it as well as I do."

Moreover, he seemed to have sensed the depth of Fujii Ren's thoughts, and said in a mocking tone:

"So let's just forget about it. We can't possibly team up with that priest. Ugh, he's a hopeless bastard. I don't know what he said about you, but you really shouldn't trust him—you're a good person, don't take advantage of a bastard."

“Uh…” Fujii Ren’s expression was complicated upon hearing this.

"What's there to be conflicted about? You feel the same way, right? I hate him, and you don't like him either, do you?"

"..."

Looking at Yuzashirou, who was speaking ill of the Holy Grail in front of her, Sakurai Hotaru's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't even agreed to form an alliance with them yet, and here she was, talking badly about her boss.

"So..."

Yuza Shirou accepted the gazes of both Fujii Ren and Sakurai Hotaru, and laughed easily without any politeness. Just like that, as if he had suddenly thought of a prank, he whispered something in Ren's ear.

“You—” Fujii Ren’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

"how is everything?"

As if speaking in riddles, Yuza Shirou chuckled and asked in return.

At the same time, Fujii Ren also noticed that there was a possibility there.

Valyria Trifa is an incredibly resilient diamond that will never break.

Didn't Fujii Ren just hear about the existence of such a thing from the priest?

so......

"Let's take care of that priest together here."

Yuza Shirou casually suggested to Fujii Ren, as if they were going on a picnic or stroll.

Indeed, if Fujii Ren's intuition is correct, doing so can effectively reduce the five colors.

........

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The booming sounds continued to erupt, and the poisonous purple lightning and sword barrier showed no signs of weakening, continuously attacking the enemy with immense power.

The number of strikes already delivered has exceeded nearly 10 billion, and there will be hundreds of millions more to come in the next few strikes. The chaotic slashing attacks never stop.

The target of the attack was only one person: Father Valyria, who was completely unprepared and unarmed.

A ferocious sword that devours everything, gives everything, and will kill you no matter how many times it takes.

Deception and feints are extremely deceptive, and this is a deadly technique that will be used to completely destroy and annihilate them.

No one could possibly escape unscathed from being caught in such a fierce attack.

It should have been like this—

"Whoosh—Clang!"

The shattering sword strikes, like a meteor shower, slammed into the priest, scattering endless bursts of dense sparks.

The massive black round table and holy spear still seemed poised to explode continuously, but the situation remained eerily chilling.

Fujii Ren could assert that the zombie soldiers' attacks and focused concentration were flawless and inexplicable.

His high-intensity, high-speed attacks did indeed hit repeatedly, and their power had absolutely nothing to do with the concept of vital points.

Logically speaking, the enemy should have been utterly destroyed and vanished without a trace long ago, but—

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-! ! ! ! ! !

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang—! ! ! ! ! !

The deafening clang of metal and the sounds of fists and feet clashing filled the air. These fierce and powerful attacks struck the priest's body, creating a huge commotion in terms of sheer volume, but failing to inflict any effective or actual damage on the enemy.

"What a futile effort! How regrettable!"

Despite being subjected to a series of high-intensity attacks from Cain, Father Valyria remained calm and smiled.

He absorbed the unrestrained, demonic lightning and immense strength without reservation, and the priest even showed his usual smile. On his slender, fair face, there wasn't even a drop of blood to indicate that he was injured.

Despite the overwhelming power of Kaguya, Kaguya had the upper hand, and his miraculous speed was incomparable.

In terms of pure combat prowess—that is, weapons and offenses that effectively kill enemies—Valeria Trifa is far inferior to Tuba Cain.

However, there is only one thing.

The priest possessed an absolutely perfect and superior level of self-worth.

That's the opponent's ridiculous physical endurance.

Its unyielding tenacity, a hallmark of its demonic nature, is an absolute, protected characteristic.

This fact is not false, nor is it meaningless.

Only one person at the black round table could destroy the Holy Grail.

Apart from Makina, who possesses the irresistible power of the End, and the two women of equal stature to the leaders of the Black Round Table, there is no one in the world capable of shattering Valyria-Trefa.

so---

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by Cain's silent roar and the thunderous roar of his weapon, all the attacks seemed to carry a silent anger and hatred as they crashed down on Valyria.

"do you hate me?"

While being caught off guard by Cain's vicious barrage of attacks, Father Valyria maintained his usual smile and spoke softly.

But the purple lightning kept exploding, the tearing of the super-heavy weapon, and the violent storm of shattering the force shattered his voice, making him unable to hear.

At least, apart from the two people currently in close proximity, no one else can hear the priest's voice.

Then it's just a joke, as meaningless as talking to a wall.

Tubal Cain was a corpse, not a living person, but Father Valyria continued.

It was neither sorrow, nor solace, nor a self-talking jest.

He spoke in a voice as if he were afraid of being overheard.

"Then let's do it this way, fight with all your might, and you can kill me."

Boom! Clang! Bang!

Father Valyria was met with more terrifying sword strikes, punches, and kicks, while he maintained a calm smile, as if he didn't care at all.

He knew the corpse before him could not forgive him, but he should not forget the most fundamental truth.

Ah, that sudden, exhilarating resonance—Father Valyria understood it better than anyone—and chuckled as he spoke to Cain:

"That's precisely why you're useful to me now."

Father Valyria knew things would turn out this way because he had foreseen it from Lisa's slip of the tongue.

I see. The situation is quite chaotic, but in order to fulfill my own desires, I will take advantage of your hatred.

Although you have absolutely no idea what life will hold next, it's not so bad if you think of the farces of the past as a prelude to this day.

"Roar---!"

Cain suddenly roared in response, and Father Valyria responded to his angry roar with a complex smile of pity and mockery.

How mad, poor souls who have lost love.

The salvation you longed for, though swallowed up by evil and holy prayers, is something to be thankful for.

"Fujii-san—!!"

Unperturbed, her usual smile vanished, Valyria-Trifa shouted:

"Hurry up! If you dawdle and drag your feet, Theresa will die! For her sake, we must break through one of the five colors!!!"

Is it possible? Although it's a gamble, an ordinary person would notice the possibility.

So, if you're not a complete idiot, go for it now.

"Splash—!!!"

In the instant of prayer, chains, like venomous snakes, pierced through the air beneath Father Valyria.

In other words, this is an extremely logical choice that can be inferred from the situation at this moment.

Within the unbreakable yellowed framework, the Holy Grail, now displaying astonishing tenacity, helplessly drinks.

In addition, Yuzashirou, having obtained information from the witch Rusalka, decides to eliminate the priest first.

Therefore, there is no room for doubt.

For some reason, Valeria Trifa received the protection of Reinhardt's relics.

So---

call out---!

As the wolf-headed chains formed from the relics pierced through the air towards Father Valyria, Yuzashi's mocking howl rang out:

"Making you disappear now is the fastest way!!"

The next step is simply a matter of prioritization: which choice is more difficult? This is an extremely realistic choice based on trade-offs.

To save Reia Himuro, seal Reinhardt, and achieve the happy ending we envision, if it's necessary to reduce the five colors, then it should be—

Right here, let's see if it really can't be destroyed!

The priest originally proposed the shared room to counter the threat posed by the captain, but it was precisely because Fujii Ren was currently alone that he felt the proposal was meaningful.

So, the situation has completely changed. Shirou has been resurrected as a fighting force, Tsuchiya and Cain have suddenly gone berserk, and Sakurai Hotaru has become an ally. The priest has fallen into a predicament of being surrounded by enemies.

Right now, the most important priority should be the most effective solution.

As long as Hotaru Sakurai doesn't bother me, I'll deal with this later.
