The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

“I don’t even need to lift a finger to kill you, you fools.”

Manshu said dismissively, then closed his eyes again.

If this oppression continues, these guys will really be at risk of death, after all, he promised not to kill these bastards.

Just as he released the pressure, a woman's voice rang out from behind: "Stop!"

A figure tinged with pale purple emerged from the mist behind them, standing before the fallen Yaga and saying, "I am aware of your strength. You wish to join the rebels, do you?"

"Yes."

"Is that so? But I still can't trust you, after all, you look like the old species. There are only two kinds of people in this world who look like the old species, namely magicians and Servants, which means they are our enemies."

The woman who appeared said matter-of-factly that although she was also a Servant, she was not in the form of a normal human.

This is also a familiar Servant, named Atalanta, the emerald-green hunter.

However, her current appearance is different from her usual appearance. Although she originally had some characteristics of wild beasts, it was limited to her animal ears.

Atalanta herself was indeed a wild being; she was abandoned by her father at birth and raised on a mountain by a mother bear.

In addition, Atalanta's final fate was that she and her husband blasphemed the gods by engaging in excessive sexual activity in the temple, and were thus punished by being transformed into lions, or wild beasts.

At this moment, Atalanta looked exactly like a wild beast. The green that once represented the wilderness had vanished without a trace, replaced by a black animal skin with purple, demonic patterns.

This is the appearance Atalanta only takes when she unleashes her Noble Phantasm, derived from Atalanta's most famous story, the hide of the Caledonian Boar.

However, unlike when using the boar skin to transform into a beast in normal circumstances, Atalanta appeared here not because of anger, but because she was summoned in a beast form and manifested as a Berserker.

Therefore, despite gaining a Berserk state equivalent to Rank A, they still retain rationality and can think calmly.

Atalanta is currently in a demonized state, and can be said to be not much different from the Yaga, after all, they are all a combination of humans and demons.

Therefore, she naturally does not belong to the old species and can reasonably exclude herself.

"how come……!"

However, this statement is perhaps too crude and simplistic.

"Whether you can serve the Emperor depends on whether you, as powerful individuals, will commit cruel acts that betray compassion. Therefore, I must reiterate my unreasonable demand: fight us without killing us, but we will not kill you."

Atalanta made her demands based on her own ideas and thoughts, which were indeed quite unreasonable.

"I thought I had already shown that, but it seems I haven't defeated you yet?"

Manshu looked at Yaga, who had just gotten up from the ground, and shook his head, asking in return.

"Of course, if you have the power to defeat even me, then there's no need to suspect you spies, because you could simply eliminate us directly."

But if even so, you still spare our lives, that is mercy, the kindness possessed by the old race, and we unreasonably expect that!

Although it may sound unreasonable, this is indeed a difference that distinguishes the old species from the Yaga.

Yaga, who would abandon the weak and completely prey on the strong, or even have no weaklings at all and only treat them as food, would hardly exhibit this trait.

"Although I don't think it's necessary to ask you again, Fujimaru, let's just go through the motions out of courtesy. I think you're planning to do as she says, right?"

"Yes, fight, win, and don't kill them."

“Okay, let me think about what to do.”

Manshu agreed and carefully examined the old acquaintance in front of him, who looked completely different.

Although there were quite a few Yaga on the other side, they were clearly no match for them; only Atalanta could be counted among them.

However, if we're talking about going all out, Atalanta wouldn't qualify, but it's rare to find an opponent who's somewhat fun, so there's no need to end things too quickly.

Just when I thought those roaring beasts were too weak to let me experience the power I could unleash by transforming into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, here was another ferocious magical beast.

This boar that plagues Calydon is a monster capable of destroying the kingdom, and is hunted down by many heroes.

Having made up her mind, Manshu activated her skill and walked forward, not forgetting to turn back and remind them: "You guys step back a little, be careful not to get caught in the blast."

Manju's body expanded rapidly as he walked, causing the Tyrannosaurus Rex he had created to tread on the snow again.

"What's this……?!"

The damage caused by the previous ambush outside the cave, as well as most of the traces he left behind, have been wiped away.

Although there are some damaged claw marks left, without careful observation and with some basic knowledge, it would probably be impossible to identify what it is.

Moreover, the person on the other end of the communication was no longer Dr. Roman but Sherlock Holmes, and the Chaldean Sherlock Holmes, the riddle teller, was not one to reveal everything.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu still exclaimed in shock when they saw Manju rapidly expand into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"This should be a Tyrannosaurid, the largest predatory theropod dinosaur in the world." lin

After fully transforming, Manju raised his head and let out a deafening roar, conveying terror and intimidation throughout the space.

Then, Manju took a step with his three-toed feet, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and unleashed the power of his legs to run at high speed.

Whether a real Tyrannosaurus Rex could run was unknown to Manshu, but Manshu wasn't truly just a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

His skills, his magic, everything about him remained intact, still affecting the life form he had transformed.

This is undoubtedly a Tyrannosaurus Rex that can at least be called a mythical beast; its behavior cannot be explained by normal biology.

Oh, that ferocious speed already exceeded the speed that a Tyrannosaurus Rex of this size could reach, crashing into Atalanta like a small truck.

As for the Yaga who had managed to stand up again, half of them collapsed back to the ground when Manju let out that terrifying roar.

Those who remained standing were mostly terrified by the imposing aura emanating from the enormous creature before them, a fear akin to that of prey towards its predator.

That enormous creature could undoubtedly prey on them, just as it preys on creatures weaker than itself, and on its own kind weaker than itself.

"Good, powerful beast... its power is boiling!"

When Atalanta, now transformed into a monster, saw this powerful prey, she followed the logic of a wild beast, as well as some of the thoughts she had as a hunter in the past.

Atalanta was not so arrogant as to prepare to take Manjusaki's charge head-on. Although her strength had increased considerably after going berserk, she still couldn't possibly contend with a true muscle monster.

Atalanta is no different from when she was a hunter; mobility remains her greatest advantage.

Her Arcadia-crossing ability allows her to move with ease, even in the harsh environment of the Russian permafrost, where she can still run at top speed.

Manju's charge was easily bypassed, and the ferocious beast unceremoniously stretched out its claws, preparing to climb onto the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body.

Just by looking at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's forelimbs, which are extremely small compared to its body, you can tell that once someone climbs onto its body, the only way to throw them off is by swinging their body.

Atalanta doesn't need to worry about this; she has ample, balanced confidence, and even the confidence to evolve in that direction.

Atalanta, who transforms into a magical beast, possesses a self-improvement skill that transcends self-modification. This skill allows her to continuously evolve in order to achieve her goals and overcome any obstacles.

9. They can even achieve incredible evolutions like turning skin into wings.

With her seemingly nonexistent momentum, Ling Atalanta seized the opportunity and leaped onto Manshu's body.

The four beasts' claws immediately gripped Manshu's back, about to pierce his body.

But the first collision was like striking steel; the beast's claws struck the iron plate, leaving only a mark without piercing through.

And Manju, in a turn that was also inconsistent with his biological form, flung the unsteady Atalanta away.

The pitch-black beast rolled several times on the ground before quickly regaining its balance.

(9) But just as Atalanta looked up, the enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex charged again, rushing towards her at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Atalanta swiftly dodged, her beastly fighting logic, as she transformed into a beast, did not involve considering the enemy's weaknesses.

The enhancement Atalanta received was in terms of thinking speed, which, through its synergy with her self-evolution skill, continuously accelerated her attacks.

Therefore, Atalanta's movements became visibly faster and faster, constantly dodging, and she climbed onto Manjus's back once again.

This time, her sharp claws successfully pierced Manshu's back; the gleaming claws had clearly evolved to be even sharper.

But then Manju turned his head, and a cunning look appeared in Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes.

Its short forelimbs were flapping wildly, as if it were anxious because it couldn't reach the back.

In the next instant, Manshu's tiny forelimbs rapidly expanded into a robust limb three meters long and half a meter wide, which slapped directly onto Manshu's back.

Atalanta was about to pull her hand out of her claws when she found that Manju's body tightly locked the piercing claws, preventing her from pulling her hand out immediately. The next moment, Manju grabbed her hand.

Manju slammed Atalanta to the ground without any mercy, and said nothing more, just quietly watching Atalanta being pinned down.

"Alright, we've completely lost. Fine, I surrender. If you were Ivan the Terrible's men, we would have had no chance of winning long ago, but clearly you are not. (Transfer Qun: 而÷⑨～四蓤si傘：物㈥四)"

Atalanta readily surrendered, and Manju released her, dispelling the transformation and returning her to human form.

"Your name is...?"

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, during their observations over this period, also vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity with Atalanta and spoke up.

Atalanta is a character who appears in both the First Singularity and the Third Singularity, although she only appears once in the First Singularity as an enemy who is defeated.

"My apologies. My name is Atalanta, and I am one who has borrowed the power of the Kalydon monster."

Atalanta immediately introduced herself. Since Manshu's actions aligned with Atalanta's thoughts, everyone had naturally been categorized as friendly, so there was nothing to hide.

"No matter what, let's go back to the fortress and heal our wounds there. You all come with me, I'll take you to the fortress."

"Where is Patsch...?"

“Patsi… it’s that Yaga. I’ll tie him up for now. Is he really your companion? Alright, take that guy with you.”

So the group of eight went to the village ahead and put down the bound Palutsi.

"I thought I was going to be killed, I thought I was going to be killed..."

Patzhi was clearly somewhat frightened.

"You're really lucky, Yaga."

"Oh, oh, I'm still alive... You're all alright too, I'm saved..."

Patzchi barely regained consciousness, but he will probably need some more time to recover.

"Then let's head to the fortress. Be careful to check if anyone or any familiars are following us."

Once the Tsar's familiar discovers the location of the fortress, the Tsar's personal guards will likely arrive in an instant.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any familiars here that can spy on me."

There shouldn't be any magicians here with that ability. Even Merlin couldn't easily spy on the goddesses walking on Sumer. The magicians here probably don't have that level of skill yet.

"Thank you for your trouble. Let's ride the two-horned horse."

Yaga from the village came to ride, and everyone mounted their horses and headed towards the location of the rebel fortress.
