I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Having said that, Elunere didn't want to look at the Gu worm with Heydrich's face anymore, so she turned around, sneered, and left.

Just as there's no need to confirm what happens next, it gives Valyria its final farewell and judgment.

"General, Valyria, your so-called pilgrimage ends here."

Boom!

With nowhere to retreat or avoid, the Holy Grail had no choice but to fight back. The Black Knight, expressionless, raised his fist and slammed it directly into Valyria.

"Cough—"

Valyria took the hit head-on, but his expression twisted. This was the first time countless viewers had seen him, who always wore a hateful smile, show such an expression.

Was he indomitable? No, he wasn't indomitable.

Facing two battle-hardened captains, it was an inevitable outcome.

The Holy Grail has only an unbreakable body as its shield and a single, supremely powerful golden strike as its spear.

The strongest shield and the strongest spear were both rendered ineffective against the Black Knight.

Therefore, as the Holy Grail is not a warrior but a strategist, its outcome in the battle against the Black Knight, who seeks a death match, is self-evident.

Moreover, on the straight line connecting Valyria and Magina's offense and defense, there is also Ayase Kasumi. If she doesn't take the attack head-on, Ayase Kasumi will die, so she has no choice but to take it.

Therefore, the Holy Grail can only defend, but...

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

A dense barrage of steel fists rained down on Valyria, who could only defend passively, using his crossed arms to defend himself.

"It's no use. You know there's nothing I can't break!"

The Black Knight said coldly, and the Holy Grail's proud and invincible defense was completely ineffective against his iron fist.

Valyria, who had never flinched in the face of countless attacks, now tasted the iron fist of Magina, and his face contorted in pain as he was being beaten, and he let out a painful sound.

"Isn't this a bit immoral, Lord Magina... As a knight's bodyguard, it's astonishing that you've chosen a battle tactic that uses a young girl as a shield."

With a forced smile on his face, Valyria intended to provoke the Black Knight, who possessed a warrior's pride, with words, so that he would abandon the battle tactics most advantageous to him.

With Ayase Kasumi here, he was completely restrained, which was extremely disadvantageous.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't know anything about chivalry."

Makina remained expressionless in the face of Valyria's sarcastic and mocking words regarding the Holy Communion Cup before him. He was unmoved by any moral obligations Valyria intended for him to uphold, and coldly stated:

"I only know the laws of the battlefield, and no one is exempt. Once you intervene, women and children will all die!"

"So it's all over? Oh dear, you really are the closest to Lord Heydrich."

Not getting the desired result, Valyria smiled and tried to provoke the Black Knight into revealing a weakness.

However, Valyria's words caused the Black Knight to look at him with a strange expression, and he was not swayed in the slightest by Valyria's words.

"That's hilarious! How can you say something like that?"

On the usually stiff, pale, emotionless face of the Black Knight Makina, a cold smile and contempt appeared, contrary to his usual demeanor.

He pulled his outstretched fist back, a move that completely disregarded the danger of being countered. This was the weakness between warriors, but Valyria could not exploit it.

Even if there's a flaw in the retraction, it's from another dimension. Moreover, the Black Knight is more proud of his offensive power than his defense.

so---

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar resounded as the Black Knight delivered another powerful punch to the chest, leaving the Holy Grail no time to react. The deathly aura that erupted from behind instantly annihilated the entire space behind the opponent.

Bang!

"Uh-"

Valyria's face contorted from the blow, his body flying backward uncontrollably until he knelt on one knee.

The power of death raged within his body. The amount of death that had just leaked out was less than one-tenth of what he had experienced; the death that was almost complete exploded within him.

Looking down at the Valyrian Holy Grail before him, the Black Knight's eyes were cold and merciless, a stiff, contemptuous smile curving his lips as he sneered:

"You're clearly making jokes by relying on his body more than anyone else."

To say he's the closest to Heydrich? Did he even have a shred of self-awareness before saying that?

He tells others to break free from Heydrich's shackles, but he himself is the one who is most deeply trapped and can never escape.

Despite relying more on the Golden Beast's powerful body than anyone else, claiming that others are the closest to Reinhardt is, in the Black Knight's eyes, utterly a ridiculous joke.

If it weren't for the durability of Heydrich's body, it wouldn't have taken even a second to kill him. Why would there be any need to constantly undermine the sturdiness of the God's Jade Body?

"Father..."

Seeing Valyria in such a desperate situation, Himuro Reia felt terrible. The girl involuntarily reached out her hand, looking at the helpless other party, not knowing what to say or what to do.

I can't do it, I can't touch it, I can't do anything about it.

He had brought about this development himself, yet the situation had completely slipped out of his control.

What should I do? How should I treat that priest?

"pound---!"

The air roared, the earth trembled, and a punch, then another punch, slammed into the Holy Communion Cup.

Each time the Steel Black Knight strikes the Fist of Death, it slices something away from Valyria.

Because it was Heydrich's body, the Holy Grail contained an even larger army of souls. Even the Black Knight, who could kill with a single blow, could not directly eliminate the Gu worms inside the lion's body.

As for why? The amount of soul energy is too enormous, like finding a slightly unique grain of sand in the desert.

Within the immense amount of soul within the Chalice, finding the Valyrian soul from its inner sea of ​​souls requires the Black Knight to continuously 'dig'.

Shatter the soul that conceals Valyria's own soul, find him, and destroy him!

To crush, break, kill, devour.

Valyria's soul was constantly being killed or stolen by the Black Knights, who wanted to drag his lowly soul out of the noble lion's body and kill him quickly!

Valyria is doomed; it will lose.

Even for laymen, the outcome is obvious and there's nothing they can do about it.

"Why......"

Seeing the priest's dejected state, Himuro Reia felt very bad and was also very confused.

Valyria was on the defensive, constantly enduring the Black Knight's deadly iron fist. Even though his face was contorted in pain, his eyes were filled with madness and obsession.

You're best at running away, so why don't you run? You could have escaped, couldn't you?

She wondered how many times this had happened, a question surfacing in the girl's mind.

Why do you want me to live so badly?

He clearly hates women.

"Ughh ...

Valyria gritted her teeth, her face contorted with an unnatural seriousness, yet a painful groan escaped her lips once more.

Nevertheless, he stood firm, neither retreating nor fleeing, facing an invincible enemy.

For me?

Himuro Reia was very confused. Was it my fault? What did I do for you that made you want to go to such lengths?

The girl didn't know, and she didn't understand.

And seeing the priest's selfless dedication, what was the girl who was still afraid of him?

Inferior? Bastard? Fool? Dust?

Or are you saying you weren't human to begin with?

To Himuro Reia, who was Valeria Trifa, and what was his relationship to the Sun Prince?

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you? The captain's duty is to comfort and protect [the jade body]."

Seeing the blank and dazed look on Himuro Rei's face, Elunere, who had come up to the girl, was smoking a cigarette with her back to the one-sided battle behind her, and explained softly:

"The secret to the immense strength of Valyria's invincible protection lies in two aspects. One is that it is based on the gold alchemy that began in Berlin during World War II and covered most of the world. It is more of a byproduct of the birth of Yzak's castle than a vice-leader."

"Its defensive power can withstand magic, physical attacks, time, chance, and so on. To strengthen such a defensive membrane to the limit, and to create a shield that is permanently extended so that it does not thin, the other option is armor."

"That man's desire stemmed from an almost insane self-loathing, an inability to bear his own sins and weakness, so he longed to become stronger, which could be called a 'transformation' desire for him."

"He made a wish to become the strongest being he knew, Reinhard Heydrich, and what happened? He became the acting leader of the Black Round Table, plated with gold."

As if nothing had happened, naturally and without any hesitation, Elunere revealed the core secret of the Holy Communion Grail to Himuro Reia.

Himuro Rei almost fainted upon hearing this, which is understandable, because—

"The Holy Communion chalice contains the demon city of Heydrich, which is the endless army of souls of Valhalla. It is so indestructible because of the enormous number of souls and the density and mass of the [God] himself that surpasses the universe."

Elunere turned to look at Valyria, who was being brutally beaten by the Black Knight. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, a mixture of loyalty and hatred. She spoke in an icy tone:

“Under normal circumstances, even I cannot destroy it. You, my prince, should be able to sense that it is the body of our lord, Lord Hedrich! And he is merely a lowly worm within the body of the sublime golden lion!”

Is the Holy Communion Cup the same as Reinhard Heydrich's body?

Valyria Trifa = The Golden Beast?

The answer given by the Red Knight, Eluneore, was both astonishing and perfectly logical.

The reason for the difference in Valyria's body was that the other party was not using his own body, but the body of Reinhard, the leader of the Black Round Table.

Valyria's appearance was similar to Reinhardt's, and the audience initially thought it was for some other reason, but it turns out that the Holy Grail itself is Reinhardt's body.

"I see. No wonder Fujii Ren and Sakurai couldn't destroy it."

Viewers from countless worlds immediately understood this: Valyria had previously told Sakurai Hotaru, who had attacked him, that he had had enough.

You have no chance of destroying the Holy Grail. You're not at the level of Skadi or Matilda. You wouldn't even be able to cut a hair off it.

What are Skadi and Matilda now? They are gods, transcending the endless multiverse!

They could destroy a single universe or an infinite number of universes as easily as breaking an egg, and they are still expanding and getting stronger.

Sakurai Hotaru, Fujii Ren, Yuza Shirou, or anyone else, they couldn't even destroy a universe, so how could they possibly destroy the body of a god?
