The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Matou Kariya rubbed his head as he got up. His mind was filled with a large amount of knowledge, leaving him somewhat confused for a moment.

"Then let's rest for a while. The night has only just begun, there's still time."

These two blessings didn't require much magic or physical strength, as they weren't particularly powerful.

If you were to directly upgrade Matou Kariya to the level of an average Servant in one go, it would probably drain almost all the magical power from Manju's body.

Matou Kariya went down to rest first, while Manju made the solar boat stay in place and retract its radiance.

These all consume magic power, so there's no need to waste them carelessly.

Once Matou Kariya had sorted out what was in his mind and stood beside Manju again, the Sun Ship once more emitted its radiance and arrived at the Tohsaka family mansion in an instant.

(2) The familiars that Tokiomi Tohsaka and the other Masters had placed here to keep watch were destroyed immediately.

(9) The almost violent golden magical light poured down on this land time and time again.

The land, trees, houses, and the magic array that had been set up were all swallowed up by this endless, continuous radiance.

Lin, this is an unrestrained outpouring of light, a destructive light that brings ruin.

4. The magic workshop built here is no match for the magic stronghold that the Tohsaka family has built up over generations.

The defensive array laid down by the three melted away like snow under this radiance. This scorching light of destruction tore everything apart until another golden radiance appeared, which finally calmed the sun's rage.

"Is Berserker insane?"

6. In the dilapidated magic workshop, Tokiomi Tohsaka leaned back in his chair, gripped his cane tightly, and said angrily.

His follower, the Hero King Gilgamesh, stood before him, continuously unleashing Noble Phantasms from his treasury to intercept the sunlight emanating from the solar ship.

"No, it seems to have smelled something and is rushing over to hunt. As arrogant as ever, Berserker. But that's fine. I didn't get a chance to properly assess him last time, so let's see if he's up to the task this time."

The King of Heroes revealed a wicked, twisted smile; he hadn't forgotten the battle that had been forced to end last time.

“Archer won’t attack you; both of them would agree with a checkmate-to-checkmate, king-to-king strategy.”

Manju said to Matou Kariya, who then walked to the bow of the ship and looked down.

Tokitomi Tohsaka was looking up at the sky when their eyes met. He saw the burning hatred in Kariya Matou's eyes.

"May your military prowess be abundant, my king."

Matou Kariya first turned her head to give Manju a blessing, then fearlessly jumped into the air.

"I also wish you good luck in your military campaigns."

Manju looked at the spot where Matou Kariya had jumped down, shook his head, and finally laughed. You also stood up, ready to face your enemy.

"My king, I will deal with the Master..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka also addressed Gilgamesh.

"Okay, then go and play with him."

The Hero King said this, without glancing at Matou Nigarya, but instead took out a ship of light from his treasure vault.

"You should get off the sky where the king soars, you foolish idiot."

A cruel look appeared in the eyes of the Hero King as he steered Vimana toward the sun boat in the sky.

Thank you to the user "想吃天子桃子" for the monthly pass and the razor blade. Thank you for your support, I am very grateful.

Chapter Seventeen: Aerial Combat

This divine vessel, named Vimana, is a ship of light made of gold and emeralds.

It can fly at high speeds by generating solar energy through a solar crystal fueled by mercury.

The ship's hull, entirely made of gold, makes it appear as if it were composed of light.

Vimana flew in an incredible way, like a fish swimming in the sea, freely changing its position and direction, rising and falling from different angles.

Manjushri unleashed the divine light of the sun to intercept the Hero King; a thick golden beam of light attacked not only from the front but also from behind.

Vimana reversed its direction with incredible speed, making a 180-degree turn to dodge the Sunship's attack. At that moment, the gates of the King's Treasury opened, and several beams of light shot out, colliding with the golden magical light.

Golden sunlight and golden weapons collided, bursting into a blazing sun in the sky, tearing apart the curtain of night and illuminating the figures of the two Servants facing off in the sky.

The mere aftershocks of the light split the clouds in the sky in two, and the immense magical fluctuations could be felt even by the Einzbern family, who lived on the outskirts of the city, about thirty kilometers away from Fuyuki City.

As soon as the initial impact subsided, dozens more golden beams of magical light erupted from the shimmering sunship, striking directly at the rain of Noble Phantasms that had just been unleashed.

This was the result of their tentative clash: the intense magical light emanating from the solar ship collided with the endless stream of magical artifacts drawn from the treasury.

However, compared to the brilliance of the solar ship, the quality of the treasures retrieved from the treasury was uneven.

If magical energy is emitted with equal power, it will inevitably be able to intercept some Noble Phantasms, while others will not be intercepted.

Trying to intercept everything would result in too much unnecessary loss. Death.

But this is still within tolerable limits; the Solar Ship is more robust than Vimana, and its autonomous defense capabilities are more reliable.

Some of the incoming Noble Phantasms were shot down, some even shattered into fragments amidst the dazzling light, while others sliced ​​through the light and struck the solar ship's defenses. Only a handful of Noble Phantasms were able to tear through the light, penetrate the solar ship's defenses, and bombard the solar ship. ③

However, Manju could also dodge those Noble Phantasms. Although the ship wasn't immune to the laws of physics, its speed allowed it to traverse forty kilometers in the blink of an eye, meaning the launched Noble Phantasms couldn't even catch up to it.

Therefore, the final result was that all these radiances were shattered in the clash, and the golden rays, like clouds dispersed by the exploding magic, became new golden clouds in the night sky.

The sky was completely transformed into a battlefield for the two, and the pitch-black night had long since vanished, leaving only two suns shining brightly at the same time.

"Hahahaha... If you hadn't uttered those madman's words, you might have been considered a guy with decent taste."

The King of Heroes stood on Vimana and laughed wildly, releasing the pent-up emotions in his heart through the countless Noble Phantasms that were fired.

That's what makes it enjoyable, and there won't be any unwise ministers who would step forward to remonstrate and interrupt the king's enjoyment.

Since that's the case, let's loosen up a bit and see how long we can hold out.

The King of Heroes' grin widened, and he let out a loud, long laugh.

"How interesting! I'll just take this as a challenge between kings, and see who truly reigns supreme in this sky where kings soar!"

"Since you're interested, I won't spoil the fun today. Let's settle this in the sky."

Manju readily accepted Gilgamesh's invitation. Manju's plan was to first see if Kariya could defeat Tokiomi Tohsaka, and if not, then he would try to defeat Gilgamesh himself.

What needs to be done now is to give Matou Kariya ample time to engage in aerial combat, which will not be a quick battle.

At least until both sides unleash their truly decisive moves, it's difficult to determine a winner based on such attacks and exchanges.

So Manju readily accepted, turned around and walked off the bow of the ship to the control room of the solar ship.

Standing at the bow of the solar boat is merely to satisfy one's desire to show off in front of others; when it comes to truly getting serious, it's better to return to the cabin.

Manjushri sat on the throne atop the solar ship, a vessel originally reserved for the supreme god-king, one of the three greatest pharaohs.

The throne on the ship was naturally extremely noble. The moment it was placed on the table, several beams of light, seemingly magical circuits, flowed from the floor, walls, and top of the throne, instantly filling the entire sun ship.

At this moment, the brilliance of the solar boat fully unfolded, transforming into the wrath of the sky, which began to roar, about to unleash the world-destroying light.

The Hero King was already seated on his throne, and his wings, made of emeralds, emitted light. Suddenly, only a green afterglow remained. Vimana reached supersonic speed the moment it started and rushed forward.

But when it comes to speed, the radiant solar boat is truly unmatched.

The radiance on the solar ship grew ever brighter, and the flowing magical light enveloped the entire ship, making it seem as if it had transformed into a real sun at that moment.

The next moment, the solar ship, like a blazing meteor, broke through the air barrier and shot out, leaving only a dazzling trail of golden magic.

The Sun Boat, which started a step slower, caught up with Vimana, who had set off earlier, in the blink of an eye. The divine light of the sun shone out at the same time, turning the layers of clouds in the night into golden flames.

By the time Gilgamesh realized this, the solar boat had already disappeared on the horizon, and the divine light emitted by the solar boat had only just reached the vicinity of Vimana.

Gilgamesh gently tapped the armrest of his throne, and Vimana turned around at an incredible angle to avoid the magical light.

"That's incredible speed. It seems we need to change our strategy."

Vimona's advantage lies not in speed, but in the ease of its handling. Its almost illogical, unrestrained movements give it a significant advantage in aerial combat.

Gilgamesh smiled slightly and tapped the armrest of his throne again, at which point Vimalakirti turned to the right.

The Noble Phantasms used for scouting enemies were taken out one by one from the treasure vault by the King of Heroes and placed around Vimana.

"As expected, I wasn't fooled."

Manju shook his head, urging the solar boat to turn back, but raising its height.

"You've actually run up to my head again! Well then, you'd better just obediently fall down from there." (4≥2°∶)

Gilgamesh let out a sneer, and the prepared magical artifacts shot out from around Vimana.

Chapter Eighteen Struggle

It's rather cold tonight, and there's some fog in the air.

Matou Kariya flew down from the sky, landing crookedly on the ground, but thankfully managed to steady herself and stand up.

"I didn't expect Berserker's Master to be you. Well, with your level, you need to rely on Berserker to increase the power of your Servant."

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was walking towards him in formal attire and holding a cane, shook his head and looked at his old acquaintance.

He had long been prepared and had already decided to personally defeat the enemy before him.

Although he had a slight connection with the other party, he would not shirk his responsibilities; this was Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"But it's unwise of you to come straight to me like this, Matou Kariya. Do you really think you can win in magic?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka narrowed his eyes and let out a mocking laugh.

He appeared completely calm and composed, showing no signs of nervousness in the face of battle.

"You once abandoned the path of demonic cultivation, yet you still cling to the Holy Grail, and even dare to stand before me again... You've fallen and ruined the reputation of the Matou family."

Matou Kariya responded with a cold laugh to Tokiomi Tohsaka's words; everything Tokiomi said was irrelevant to Matou Kariya.

The dignity of the demonic path? The inheritance of the nine family lineages? ⑷ Hahahaha, just as affected and pretentious as ever. Three≮㈢√～０♂｛5『【

Kariya Matou just wanted to laugh, but before he could laugh, he needed to ask Tokiomi Tohsaka his question.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, I have only one question... Why did you hand Sakura over to Zouken Matou?"

"what?"
