The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Nimrod, who is revered as the foremost hero of the world, has a considerable number of legends and stories associated with him.

In the Old Testament, Nimrod is only mentioned in a few short lines.

He was the foremost of all heroes in the world, a hunter before the gods, and he built eight cities as the origin of the kingdom.

Even his most famous achievement, the construction of the Tower of Babel, is not mentioned in the Old Testament as his doing.

It is the extended records of numerous later external and apocryphal texts that endowed him with various stories and prototypes. 9

The kingdoms established on the Mesopotamian plain, and the kings with whom they could establish connections, were all considered Nimrods.

For example, Enmecar, Gilgamesh, Nebuchadnezzar II, Ninas, and even a version that claims him to be the son of Zoroaster.

Countless anecdotes surround him, making it difficult to fathom the true nature of this king's power. II.

But at least by looking at the stats, it's clear that this king is indeed as powerful as he claims.

"Aside from luck, everything else is B and A; her abilities are even higher than those of the strongest class, Saber."

"Sweating profusely," Gordes said, "the Saber I summoned doesn't even seem to be able to defeat Archer's pet. How can Saber be so weak?"

Without revealing his divine side, Sekhmet truly appeared to be nothing more than a terrifying lion.

Although the magicians could see the intense mystery surrounding Sekhmet and knew he was a terrifying monster, they couldn't truly grasp the power and destructive force contained within his outstretched claws. 5

All they could see was the giant lion simply swinging its claws, and Saber had to expend considerable effort to defend herself.

But only those who actually face this giant lion can know that its claws can easily tear apart a Servant's body.

If it weren't for the holy sword that had accomplished the great feat of slaying the dragon standing in front of this giant lion, Siegfried, the hero who had once defeated the dragon Fafnir, would not have stood there.

How could anyone so easily stop the lion, as if it were an unshakeable iron wall preventing it from advancing an inch?

At least in terms of defense and protecting others, Siegfried is indeed an extremely excellent Servant, and it is even difficult to find a substitute.

Even Astolfo had to admit that he once had a colleague who was similar to Siegfried, the paladin Roland with a diamond body.

However, if Roland were standing in front, although he could defend against the giant lion, he wouldn't be able to protect the others as well.

It was precisely because of Siegfried's presence that Berserker, who charged forward immediately after receiving orders, did not die.

The lightning-cracked warhammer was no match for the giant lion's claws.

The released electricity only slightly scorched Sekhmet's flowing golden hair.

But it didn't cause any damage at all. Instead, it failed immediately upon impact and was sent flying by the second blow.

However, the lion did not continue its pursuit because Siegfried was right beside her.

If Berserker's attacks hadn't been so reckless, and with Siegfried backing him up, he might have been able to hold out for a few more rounds before being defeated.

"I'm ready."

Astolfo shouted excitedly, and a lance with a golden spear appeared in his hand; it was a Noble Phantasm called "One Touch and You Fall".

The others were also ready. Avisbroun deployed his golems to surround the lion, thus limiting its movement and allowing Astolfo to touch the giant lion with his Noble Phantasm.

Sekhmet had already demonstrated agility that seemed incongruous with her massive size; her swift and fierce attacks amazed everyone present.

Even Siegfried, who was doing his best to stop him, had to admit that the pressure this monster brought him was probably only less than that of the dragon he had once defeated.

"Finally, we're going to be able to organize a decent attack. Waiting is so boring."

As mentioned at the beginning, this was indeed just a weighing process.

Even the most powerful treasures won't have many flashes of light; at least, the twilight-colored sword aura is unlikely to be seen today.

So we still need to see some fun, Manshu thought for a moment, and a few more arrows were nocked on the lightning longbow.

The arrow that split off from Jiu pierced directly through the puppet controlled by Avisbloon, halting his actions from the very beginning.

Sekhmet had just torn two puppets to pieces when he saw Manju smash the other puppets, and he let out a joyful roar.

"Hey, you bastard, I'm not celebrating for you, I'm warning you to watch out."

Is the goddess Sekhmet, who lacks the elegance and wisdom of the goddess Bastet, influenced by an abundance of destruction and rage?

However, since he hadn't grasped this point, Manju didn't intend to offer any further reminders. The Egyptian gods were quite experienced in resurrection.

Even if Sekhmet is completely destroyed later, we can find a jar, throw in some soil and seeds, water it, and put some of Sekhmet's remains together.

In a couple of days, we'll have a complete Sekhmet. I guarantee there won't be any problems. If you're really worried, just say a few good words to Osiris.

However, Sekhmet was indeed a bit too straightforward, no wonder he was tricked by red-stained wine in the myth.

Astolfo jumped out, brandishing his lance, and shouted.

"Those far away, hear my voice; those nearby, see my form. I am Astolfo, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors! Defeat the Mad Lion!"

Astolfo shouted out his opening lines, which he hadn't used in a long time, but before he could even assume his entrance pose, Sekhmet's attack arrived first.

Astolfo immediately fled in panic, ending up looking disheveled and humiliated.

"Damn it, this is too much!"

An elder in my family passed away, and I rushed back to attend the funeral today. I won't be able to update any more chapters in the near future; I can only say that I'll post whatever I write.

Chapter Six: Opening the Way

Despite the chaotic situation, the plan is still progressing smoothly.

Astolfo immediately rallied, stood up, raised his lance, and charged forward.

"Alright, Algaria... let's go! Let's show it your power!"

Sekhmet had already experienced Astolfo's power, so he was not afraid.

She's not exactly the type to play the game of maneuvering within attack range, especially when facing attacks that pose no real threat.

Sekhmet charged forward like a chariot, determined to tear Astolfo apart.

In comparison, Astolfo's charge was like that of a weak foal, making it seem like an unequal fight.

"Trap of Argalia: A Trap That Falls at the First Touch!"

Astolfo shouted out the true name of the Noble Phantasm, and the power of the knight Algaria's lance was just like the name he shouted out: it had the ability to make anyone it touched fall down.

The ability of the Noble Phantasm is even more brutal, forcibly cutting off the magical energy supply to the area below the knees, making physical reconstruction impossible for a period of time.

Instead of dodging, Sehmet charged straight at the enemy, and was the first to be hit by the second gun. Her two legs immediately disappeared, and her body lost its balance in an instant, about to fall to the ground.

Siegfried was already waiting on the side, and swung his Balmong at Sekhmet.

Sekhmet hurriedly tried to support himself with his front paws, trying to prevent himself from falling to the ground due to the momentum of the charge.

However, given the momentum of her charge, the attempt could only prevent her from crashing through the wall and bursting out of the audience hall.

The next moment, a chilling sword aura swept in, and Sekhmet had no choice but to spew out scorching flames from the air in an attempt to stop the opponent.

But Siegfried showed no fear and charged into the flames without any defense, wielding his holy sword to shatter the seven heads of Sekhmet who lay on the ground in one fell swoop.

"Hehehe, perfect Saber, together we defeated this lion, hehehe~!"

Seeing Siegfried's sword shatter the seven heads that Sekhmet had conjured without any resistance, Astolfo jumped for joy.

"It's not over yet, Rider. That king in the sky is just watching the show."

Avisbro spoke up to remind him.

Of course, there was no need for Avisbro to remind them; no matter what was said, people could not ignore the blurry figure entwined with lightning high in the sky.

The guy's behavior seemed to match what he said; he was just doing the weighing.

No one would believe that a hunter who boasts before the gods could only shoot arrows of this caliber.

He was like a god standing on the clouds, looking down on the people on the ground.

The lightning he shot out was merely something he did on a whim.

The fact that this guy managed to destroy all the dozen or so golems that Avisbroun sent up while blocking Lancer shows that Manshu didn't use his full strength and just watched the lion get knocked down.

"Well, at least when we overcome one of the difficulties, we should celebrate, right?"

Astolfo scratched his head helplessly and tilted his head to say to Avisbro.

"Can this really be called a moment of celebration? Wait... that lion hasn't stopped moving yet, it hasn't been knocked down!"

Avisbro wasn't really suited to take on the role of the sarcastic commentator, so he simply asked without any emotion.

However, as he was speaking, he noticed that Sekhmet, who was lying on the ground with all his heads chopped off, did not seem to be dead.

As a top-notch golem user, Avisbroun wouldn't have only noticed this moment if his attention hadn't been immediately drawn to Astolfo.

Having received the warning, Siegfried had no doubts. He was already standing guard beside the lion, so he immediately swung his sword again.

This time, his goal was to attack the lion's heart, and if that didn't work, he would disintegrate the lion's entire body.

Upon discovering that Siegfried had launched another attack, Sekhmet realized that his feigned death had been exposed for some reason.

It seems this move isn't very effective anymore; it failed to work the first two times it was used.

However, this trick is not a universal thing. The strongest one is Sekhmet's power to tear everything apart and her tyrannical destructiveness.

The headless lion immediately leaped up, and even without a face or eyes, it still swung its sharp claws with unerring accuracy.

"It's still alive even after losing its head? What an incredible behemoth! But defeating such a monster would surely make a knight even more dashing."

Astolfo was startled by Sekhmet's sudden standing up and immediately stepped aside, though his face showed more curiosity than anything else.

Berserker remained unchanged. Although he was knocked away once, he charged back up again, swinging his lightning-infused warhammer.

However, Sekhmet mostly ignored her attacks, only occasionally blocking them. Compared to Frankenstein's warhammer, Siegfried's sword was clearly more threatening.

"If it were an immortal creature, breaking through it in a short time wouldn't be so easy. However, the king's promise was only to allow us to shake him by the slightest and bring him down from the sky."

Avisbro was still analyzing the situation. Without the golem, his combat power was even less than Frankenstein's, so while he was using the golem, he could only play the role of strategist.

However, he is more reliable than Berserker and that eccentric Rider.

"Let Saber keep the lion occupied. Rider, try to rush over and use your One Touch Throw to pull King Ninglu down."

"Me? They're actually planning to let me do this? This is so exciting!"

“I heard that Astolfo has a hawk as his mount. You must have brought it with you. Then you are the one among us who is most likely to rise to the position of King Nimrod.”
