The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The commotion caused by the height of the tower was so great that even areas that were not directly affected by the commotion were shaken and collapsed. The Celtic soldiers, driven by their bloodlust, pushed over any remaining debris.

"That is the Mad King's Noble Phantasm, the legendary Gaeberg of the Celtics. Be careful of the curse of that spear. Apart from Rama, we probably have no one else who can withstand it."

"Is this the root cause of the patients behind me? And now it intends to cause even more wounded and sick... It is a poison that must be eradicated! I will eradicate all poisons, all harmful things (Nightingale Pledge)!"

Nightingale looked furious at the cursed magic spear and brandished her scalpel to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

This is a Noble Phantasm formed by combining the spiritual elevation of Florence Nightingale, who fought on the battlefield and faced death head-on, with the modern concept of white-clad angels who help the wounded and sick.

A gigantic, angelic phantom appeared above Nightingale's head. The phantom was a faceless nurse, raising a huge long scalpel in both hands, which fell down along with the scalpel Nightingale swung.

This Noble Phantasm's effect is set to nullify surrounding poison and attack, creating an absolute safety zone and providing healing, although its current form is somewhat offensive.

The nurse phantom's attack blocked the falling magic spear, protecting the wounded and ordinary people guarded by Nightingale.

Although there were still fighters who had joined the resistance, those fighters were ultimately just ordinary people and could not survive the Mad King's demonic spear.

As for Manju's solution, it was even more brutal. He used the power drawn from the earth to unleash his Noble Phantasm once again. The hammer of Hades ripped the earth open again, and a spear made of rock and the magic of death rose from the ground.

The underworld, which originally belonged underground, was exposed on the ground after the earth was lifted up.

At least Fergus wasn't here, so the established terrain wouldn't be destroyed. They wanted to hold onto the advantages they could, and then catch their breath to deal with the enemy.

The arrival of the ominous red and black figure did not keep Manshu waiting for long. Just a few minutes after the restless aura of this land arrived, it withdrew its demonic spear and the ferocious figure, like a demonic dragon, fell to the ground in front of Manshu in the form of a crimson meteor.

"That annoying voice tells me there's a troublesome enemy here... Indeed, apart from me, no one should be your match. So let me kill you, and then kill that annoying servant over there."

Cú Chulainn, the Mad King created by Medb using the Holy Grail, wears armor made of the exoskeleton of a sea monster, his body covered in sharp spikes, exuding a terrifying and ominous aura. 9

As the king spoke, he strode forward, demonic spear in hand. He had indeed come for slaughter, wholeheartedly dedicated to killing any enemy who stood in his way. 4.

This wasn't just to satisfy his desires, but also to fulfill his duty as king. He came here to kill so that the nation built upon Maeve's desires could be established, and the concept of kingship could be realized.

He wasn't going to lose anyway, so he just went and killed every enemy he encountered, piercing through any obstacle with his gun.

"Hmph..." Four

The Mad King uttered a low groan, awakening the slumbering elves who unleashed a frenzied attack on the spirits of their former enemies. 3.

For an ordinary person, their spirit would likely be shattered, rendering them powerless. Even Servants would inevitably be affected, experiencing a reduction in strength and agility. (iii)

"I have no other desires whatsoever, only the pure intention to defeat the enemy before me and complete the slaughter. If the sun in the sky still had normal thoughts, you would probably be very popular." (Zero)

To avoid that situation, we'll have to eliminate you here and end this as quickly as possible. *Sigh*

After seeing him, Manshu was quite certain of this: the Mad King before him would only grow stronger and more difficult to deal with as he continued to exist.

Even if you're not in good shape right now, you should still try to kill or destroy it, or at least prevent it from joining the fight for a while.

"That was pretty satisfying! Hmph, let's see who can take the other's head then. Don't regret standing in my way!"

Without any hesitation, the Mad King raised the demonic spear in his hand and swung it forward from a distance of dozens of meters.

Despite swinging the gun from a distance and without any sign of magical energy flowing, Manshu still sensed a warning of danger and instinctively dodged to the side.

The moment he left the ground where he had been standing, the earth cracked open, sending rocks flying everywhere.

"To launch long-range attacks entirely by compressing air using strength and skill?"

The Mad King before them was a monster whose martial arts and strength had reached their peak. His thrust forward pierced through the air, creating a sight as if he had struck a cow across a mountain.

"Hushes of reeds stand tall all around you, and demons rise up and attack you."

The ground beneath Manjushri's feet has been transformed from a Noble Phantasm into the land of the Underworld. Since there is such a usable location, it is only natural to make good use of it.

The monsters of the underworld crawled out from the cracks in the earth, revealing a cruel expression of hatred for life, and pounced on the Mad King in front of them without hesitation.

The monsters, wielding clubs studded with spikes, lashed out at the Mad King's face, making noisy noises.

"Return to the path you have chosen, and journey to the underworld."

Manju echoed from the side, gripped the cage spear in his hand, leaped over the monsters, and launched an attack from the air.

"If you're just using such petty tricks, it's pointless."

The Mad King scoffed, and his demonic spear swept past, clearing away the monsters that had gathered in front of him. Finally, he flicked the spear upwards, knocking Manshu back as well.

"This is not some clever trick, but a rather luxurious treatment for you. Don't be ungrateful, you mad king."

Manshu, who had just landed on the ground and taken several steps back before stopping, shook his hand and said with a smile.

"However, I do want to resolve this as quickly as possible, so I'll skip some troublesome procedures and just throw you into the underworld to strip you of everything."

Chapter Nine Sunrise

"From the vast sky to the deep underground, leaving the ground, leaving the earth to go to the depths of the earth."

The sky was now mostly cloudless, its previous appearance already a chaotic mess.

Even the condensed clouds and rain had been dried up by the sun, leaving behind a vast and unobstructed blue sky.

But at this moment, when the underworld exerts its power, the sky loses its color.

Not only did those demons want to lead Cú Chulainn deep underground, but he himself was also beginning to fall gradually into the ground.

The aura of death began to extend and spread, attempting to engulf him and assimilate him into this underworld.

"Like Inanna, abandon the authority of the priest, abandon the authority of the priestess, abandon her temple, abandon her shrine, abandon everything, and go to the depths of the earth."

Although it was not of his own volition, it was an action produced by the ground beneath his feet, a power exerted by the earth that had been shaped into the underworld.

"That's enough."

But death could not restrain the Mad King; his face only showed a look of irritation, and he swung his spear forcefully.

In any case, he was a man who wielded a gun for his own desires, and all he wanted to do was destroy everything in order to build a kingdom.

Since this underworld is going to engulf him, then it will be enough for it to shatter and destroy this land as well.

"It looks like we don't have much time left, so let's get straight to the point!"

An ominous black magic erupted from the Mad King's body, and the sea beast skeletons adorning his body expanded and exploded in an instant.

The scarlet spikes spread in all directions, and the bones gradually covered his entire body, filling in the exposed parts, transforming his human form, which resembled a demon king, into a terrifying beast.

"Let's finish you off like this. Unleash the full power! I won't hold back. Challenge this despair! Curruid Coinchenn!"

This was the fury of the raging king, his body covered by the material of the demonic spear in his hand: the bones and scales of the Curruid, the monster of the Red Sea.

The death that clung to the Mad King, and the monsters that surrounded him and kept attacking, were torn apart in an instant and pierced by the sea beast bones that extended from his body.

The terrifying monster showed no sign of weakness. (4) The beast stopped, just as he said, to determine the outcome directly.

He used the terrifying power of his unleashed authority to tear apart anyone who stood in his way; this was the power he gained by sacrificing everything unnecessary in order to become king.

Pure killing, solely for survival and combat, solely for becoming king, resulting in an ugly and terrifying appearance.

"Very well, then come in. The gates to the underworld have been opened for you."

Manju erected a gate in front of him, but instead of closing it, he left it open and simply stood behind it, waiting for the Mad King to arrive.

This underworld was created in a short time, and although it was not enough to open the seven gates, it was enough to weaken it.

The Mad King charged in without hesitation, his aura weakened by one-seventh.

"Since you dare to charge me a toll, I'll poke a few more holes in you next."

The Mad King merely showed a hint of annoyance. Having some of his power taken away in an instant was still a bad feeling, but it only made him somewhat displeased.

Therefore, he needed to vent his anger to the fullest, stabbing the enemy in the body with the gun in his hand and knocking them down.

Manshu raised his gun again and went to meet the charging Mad King, but after only two exchanges, Manshu was forced to retreat, blood flowing down his forearm from the impact.

"It truly resembles your appearance, possessing monstrous strength and skill. But it's not beyond imagination; the chance of victory is immediately apparent."

Despite letting the blood flow freely from her body, Manshu let out a sound of relief.

"Hmph, weren't you just boasting?"

The Mad King could naturally tell that his opponent's words were not false at all; they were sincere words spoken from the bottom of his heart.

But there's no need to overthink it. If Manju really has the ability to kill me, then I'll just let him do as he pleases.

As long as you kill him before he goes that far, there's naturally nothing to worry about.

The skeleton of the tsunami extends forward, with crimson bone spikes drawn as spears, but the most threatening of them all is still the crimson demonic spear held in the Mad King's hand.

Manshu swung the cage spear in his hand, only managing to block a few attacks in succession, and several cuts appeared on his body.

"It hurts so much! I haven't felt this intensely in a long time."

The torn flesh was writhing in the excruciating pain emanating from the curse, a pain that even Manju herself could not directly ignore.

But that's what made him even more excited, and he sang loudly.

"The mighty, radiant Ere, the supreme ruler, the eldest son of Nudimud, Marduk, the tyrannical donkey of Eungula!"

The Mad King naturally wouldn't allow Manshu to finish speaking. Although he didn't know what these words of praise to the gods would bring, he just needed to stop him. There was no need to satisfy Manshu's desire for a job in everything.

A cataclysmic attack descended upon this place, and even without much magical power attached, the earth was already torn apart by the aftershocks.

For the Mad King, his previous idea of ​​tearing this land apart to escape the assimilation of death was not an empty dream.

He did indeed possess such power; simply by stepping onto the earth, he could lift up the entire ground he stood on.

"The ruler of Aesagira, the majesty of Babylon, the guardian of Ezida, the protector of souls, the favored one of Emahtira, the creator of life, the protector of the kingdom, the defender of mankind!"

He just kept spitting out names one by one, and blood splattered on the ground.

The frenzied offensive left Manshu with no room to breathe, even while on the defensive.

Scáthach was also caught in the chaos when the gates of her dead kingdom were torn open, and she was pierced through the body after being defeated.

Manshu also found it difficult to compete in terms of skill and strength, but he didn't need to do so anyway.

"Dragon of all temples, your name means beauty in the mouths of mortals! Marduk, the great ruler Jiao Liu!"

"It's time to end this. It's time to shut your mouth forever!"

The crimson demonic spear pierced Manju's foot, which was planted on the ground, and then wounded his right leg as well, making it impossible for him to continue dodging.

Then, the enraged monster was about to tear the enemy apart, and the crimson demonic spear was aimed straight at Manshu's heart.

"This strike will pierce your heart and your spirit foundation!"

"By your supreme will I will surely prevail, for I have spoken to you thus, and my desire will be fulfilled."

The crimson demonic spear pierced Manshu's heart without any resistance, but his arm, which should have been powerless, grabbed the shaft of the spear.
