The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

But similarly, Saber, wielding her holy sword with fully charged magic, was also unleashing an attack that was sure to bring victory.

Whether it's the blessing of the Command Seals or the vow of victory, both make this holy sword, which shimmers with gales and magic, incredibly dangerous.

To defeat an enemy charging in chariots using foot combat, one must avoid the most rapid attacks and then find an opportunity to counterattack and knock the enemy off the chariot.

After all, the momentum of that swift chariot charge was unstoppable by ordinary people, and even the Knight King himself was not confident that he could stop it.

Using the magic she released, Saber acted swiftly, dodging Rider's charge to the side and attempting to launch her attack from the flank.

But this is clearly still a difficult task. On both sides of the Divine Wheel, there are large scythes protruding outwards.

If you want to launch an attack from the side, you will inevitably be unable to avoid the attack of the sickle.

With the immense force of the divine ox pulling the chariot, the scythes outside acted like harvesters, instantly slicing down the decorative pillars in the courtyard into wood chips, which were then deflected by the sharp blades and swept into the upper air. Part Two

This is the chariot's inherent defense: its armor consists of these ferocious blades and thunderous lightning.

To break through this point, it seems the only opening lies on top of the chariot. 4.

However, using conventional methods to jump atop the chariot and launch a surprise attack would be quite difficult and demanding.

Because this chariot could also soar through the sky, and the divine ox pulling it could run through the air on lightning. ④

Saber continued to follow its previous strategy, constantly dodging Rider's attacks. If the swift and powerful chariot couldn't detect the enemy, it was indeed useless. (3)

Saber's sword clashed against the chariot's outer edge several times, sparking flashes of light. 5

Simple methods are insufficient to destroy this Noble Phantasm; even a full-force slash only left a shallow mark on the chariot's surface. 6

Then you should seize and try to grasp an opportunity, and then deliver a truly decisive blow. 4.

It just takes time to get used to the opponent's attack rhythm and methods before you can seize that fleeting opportunity and defeat the enemy.

The fight with the lion is just like that; even with experience in fighting giant beasts, it takes time to become familiar with the techniques before you can deliver a fatal blow.

"Saber, you've always been unwilling to experience my path of conquest. Are you so resistant to joining my ranks?"

Rider has launched several attacks, but the only result has been to completely destroy the courtyard.

This is still frustrating, and Rider is also annoyed by it. Perhaps he should create some distance and launch a proper attack, letting Saber unleash her ultimate move for a clash.

Anyone familiar with the story of the Knight King knows that Saber's greatest trump card is undoubtedly the holy sword she wields.

Although Rider has not yet seen the radiance that the sword can unleash when it releases its true name, he is confident that he has divine calculations in the face of a head-on collision, no matter how weak or strong the opponent may be.

Let's try again. If that still doesn't work, let's try something a little silly.

He was in excellent condition. He had been preparing for the great battle for several days, and both his mental state and magical power were at their peak.

The neighboring Rider once again spurred the sacred bull in front of him, preparing for the next charge.

"Rider, this answer will not change. How could I, a king myself, possibly join your ranks? Therefore, you are destined to lose here!"

8. Saber's high-pitched voice also revealed her fierce fighting spirit at this moment. The opportunity was almost here. Saber's intuition told her that as long as she could seize that glimmer of opportunity, she would definitely be able to win.

(iv) Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been watching the battle from the balcony, had also made his own preparations.

Rider's target is Saber; he's looking for an opportunity to create one, or perhaps he can deliver the crucial blow.

9. After several failed attacks, Rider's momentum had diminished, and Kiritsugu Emiya decided to give it a try.

If time drags on any longer, the outcome will be uncertain, as the radiant, intense magic of the sun ship remains clearly visible.

The forest belonging to the Inzbern family was almost completely burned down, so it was not impossible that the golden magical light would pierce through the entire courtyard in the next moment.

The moment after the thunder roared, a bolt of lightning flashed across the courtyard.

When the Gungnir is thrown, it emits a bright light that streaks across the sky, which people call lightning or a meteor.

"This is Odin's javelin, the eternal spear Gungnir!"

Kiritsugu Emiya shouted loudly from the balcony, and Rider couldn't ignore the name implied in those words.

"Odin's spear?"

Rider turned to look at the light gun that had been thrown. He knew the power contained in the gun, and frowned.

This gun is definitely more threatening than Saber, who is simply wielding her sword.

So Rider pulled on the reins of the oxcart, turned it around, and charged towards the Gungnir that had been thrown out.

wrong.

Rider realized the problem as soon as he took action.

Perhaps it was because Gungnir's reputation was so great that it didn't make people think too much about it at first.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the gun's power wasn't actually that great.

Is this really Odin's spear? Besides, even if it is Odin's spear, how could it possibly be wielded by Saber's Master?

But by then it was too late to understand. The incoming Gungnir broke through the divine lightning outside the chariot. Rider raised his bronze sword and slashed at it. The sword was pierced by the spear, but the spear did not continue forward.

Emiya Kiritsugu did not exert too much force; he merely mustered the inherent power of the spear and utilized its unique characteristics.

However, a spear that can pierce through everything cannot continue forward without subsequent strength.

Meanwhile, another force was surging behind Rider, where the planet's radiance was shimmering.

Chapter 42 The Realization of Distractions

"Since a wrong decision has been made, the consequences should be paid."

Although Rider said this, he did not sigh, and his eyes were still on victory.

I had already decided to go and cause some trouble, so now there's no time or room for hesitation.

Moreover, such a situation is not entirely hopeless. If victory can be secured, the loser will face a 100% defeat with no excuses.

If Saber could lose under such circumstances, she might deeply reflect on her mistakes and change her mind to join his ranks.

"But this is precisely the time to try it out; how can we not take a gamble?"

Even in such a situation, Rider was still thinking such optimistic thoughts.

But that is precisely why he is the King of Conquerors.

He always overturns common sense with his irrationality and charges to the end in his own way.

His extraordinary boldness and unrestrained spirit enabled him to seize the opportunity for victory. Rather than worrying about the numerical chances of victory, he should gamble everything on his fighting spirit.

This is also what he calls domineering.

"Glory lies in the distance, and now is the eternal journey, the distant ravages and domination!"

Rider's confidence was not just empty boasting; even though he said he was going to take a big gamble, he believed more than anyone else that he would win.

With the release of the true name of liberation, the chariot, exuding the divine might of Zeus, burst forth with lightning and thunder, and the intense roar transformed the courtyard into a ridge of lightning.

Saber's response was only the simplest sentence.

"pledge----"

The scabbard formed by the gale quietly disintegrated, and golden light swept away the reversing whirlwind, gathering dazzling brilliance on the holy sword of the stars.

That dazzling light was the powerful magic that surged forth from the display of the knight's kingly way, as terrifying and chilling as a raging tide.

This is the breath of the stars, the radiance of life. Even the oxcart, engulfed in divine thunder, was overwhelmed by the sword's light; all its splendor was stolen by this sword.

"Excalibur, the Sword of Victory!"

The true name of the holy sword was uttered by Saber, while the chariot, the embodiment of Thor, was still three steps away from Saber.

For the true name has been liberated, with endless thunderous roars, and our chariots, traversing such a short distance, require only milliseconds.

But that mere millisecond difference had already determined the outcome of this battle.

"Oops... I failed."

The dazzling flash pierced Rider's eyes, almost blinding him. His only option was to jump off the chariot and avoid the brilliant attack.

With a single strike of the holy sword, everything in front of it was blasted away, and the chariot was instantly reduced to ashes under the sword.

Faced with this situation, Rider spoke casually, though he felt resentful from the bottom of his heart.

"Rider, what a serious mistake! You actually lost your oxcart because of such a trick."

Manju's voice fell from the sky, but no one saw the sun boat's rays shining into the courtyard.

"So you abandoned your ship to come and laugh at me?"

Rider's regret hadn't faded; he simply shook his head and said...

Manjushri did not continue to stand at the bow of the solar boat, displaying the merciless radiance of the sun, but instead descended from the sky.

A small boat shimmering with golden light served as a staircase, allowing Manjushri to descend from the void. 8.

"This is something I have to admire; you've really given me a lot of enjoyment." 5.

Manjushri showed no restraint whatsoever, making no attempt to conceal his mockery. 7.

"Actually, it was just a tiny difference." 6.

Rider extended his left hand, using two fingers to indicate a distance, but quickly lowered it, replacing it with his raised bronze sword. 6.

"I did fail, that's undeniable, but it's just some gains and losses in the battle; I haven't lost yet."

Although Rider uses the Divine Wheel as his primary offensive weapon, it is neither his only nor his strongest weapon. 4.

"Let's leave this situation to Yu. You should go and deal with those sneaky guys."

Manju had no intention of staying in the sky to watch any longer; Archer still hadn't shown himself, and he couldn't just sit and watch.

If Archer intended to come, he would have arrived here long ago.

The fact that he hasn't appeared yet only means that he's hiding to the side or has no intention of coming over at all.

But I can't just stand by and do nothing just because Archer hasn't shown up.

Even if they do show up, it's the same if we change opponents.

"Berserker, do you still treat this duel as a game?!"

As the other protagonist in this battle, Saber, who had just unleashed the brilliance of her holy sword, looked at Manju with angry eyes and questioned him in a furious voice.

“It was indeed my fault for alienating the master here. Saber, you are free to express your anger. Such a stance is indeed quite amusing.”

Manshu spoke calmly, then spoke again to fulfill his previous promise.
