The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The relaxed smile was gone from Kotomine Shiro's face; he was ready to face his test.

"With my bow and arrow, I beseech the sun god and the moon goddess for protection, and offer this calamity as the 'Phoebus Catastrophe'!"②

They had already agreed that Atalanta would fire the first arrow, serving as the clarion call to war.

However, since the enemy has launched the first attack, it will be Atalanta's turn to retaliate. (Death)

Two arrows shot from her hands, leaving shimmering trails as they pierced the clouds and disappeared.

This is a plea to the gods, a request for Artemis and Apollo to grant their protection.

In return for receiving protection, the gods will unleash calamities, but those calamities will fall upon the enemies. 彡

Then, the night sky was filled with a soft light, emitting a gentle, whispering sound like fine rain. (5)

This is a torrential rain of calamities cast down by the gods, but compared to the fiery meteors falling from the sunlight that pierces the night sky, this rain seems somewhat weaker. 6.

When a beam of light falls from the sky and a stray spark collides, it often takes dozens of arrows to stop a single meteor. (iv)

Even when Uriel's power was used under the cover of night, Artemis's Noble Phantasm was still no match for it.

"It seems that the calamity I can summon cannot stop the opponent's attack. The power of the Black Archer is no less than last time. My Noble Phantasm is more suitable for dealing with low-quality, wide-range attacks."

Atalanta didn't continue to push her luck. Although she could still unleash her Noble Phantasm, it wouldn't have made any sense.

“Then I will retaliate. My courtyard is also fortified.”

So Semiramis took on the responsibility; she could not stand idly by as a fiery meteor struck her courtyard.

Semiramis snapped her fingers, and magic unfolded around her, a magic circle shimmering with deep purple light appearing like a fully loaded cannon.

Above the courtyard, twelve magic circles were set up, infused with a large amount of magic power.

約≤ˇ飞群ˇ★：玐≠啎齐簏簏糁^∝思¤． 私饵“The fiery rain of judgment cannot destroy my garden, disappear from me.”

Semiramis gave the order, and the magical cannons fired all at once, the sound like a ferocious roar.

The activated magic cannon fired a strike that reached the EX level, which is an extra-specification level.

Standing in his own territory, Semiramis was practically capable of unleashing magic that reached the entire magical realm.

The roaring magic cannon intercepted the falling fiery meteor. Although the range of this magic cannon was not as wide as Atalanta's Noble Phantasm, the mass of a single object was far greater.

Each shot can intercept several meteors, allowing the flames falling from the sky to be extinguished in time and prevented from hitting the target.

But this flame is merely a clarion call, a harbinger of what is to come.

As the words say, it is revealing the coming of the end times.

Therefore, Manju took out an incense burner made of gold and placed it on the altar not far away. He put charcoal in the burner, lit it, and then poured incense onto the charcoal.

Fragrant purple smoke rose from the furnace, while blazing, radiant flames burned fiercely within.

The rising smoke formed thunderclouds and thick fog, while the flames in the furnace were taken away and were about to be dumped on the ground.

Flames fell from the sky, followed by thunderous lightning and tremors of the earth.

"Black's Archer is standing in his own territory and constantly bringing disaster. Continuing to fight like this is completely disadvantageous for us."

"We can't wait any longer, let's take the initiative and fight. Lancer, the black Archer, is in your hands. Your actions should focus on hindering the opponent."

Standing at the bow, Kotomine Shiro had a bad feeling, so he was unwilling to wait any longer and decided to move forward.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Firelight

Flames continued to fall from the sky, and the Sky Gardens in the sky retaliated by firing out super-powerful magic bullets.

The red side could no longer tolerate the constant counterattacks from within their stronghold, and Atalanta once again launched her prayer into the sky.

Under the cover of arrows of light falling from the sky and magic bullets fired from the Hanging Gardens, Achilles and Karna jumped off the bow of the Hanging Gardens ship.

Although he lost his chariot, Achilles, beneath it, truly displayed his power.

After leaving his chariot, the Noble Phantasm called Comet Run will be activated, as it is a constantly activated Noble Phantasm.

That is the Noble Phantasm that embodies the legend of the fastest hero of all ages.

His incredible speed allowed him to disappear from his original spot in an instant; his target was Vlad III, who was rushing towards him.

Before leaving, Avisbro gave Vlad III a golem horse that he had made in his spare time out of iron and bronze.

Therefore, Vlad III was riding that horse towards here, and Tulipas's territory was not particularly large, so he was also about to arrive.

But just as the golem horse was still galloping, a long spear flew through the air with terrifying force, declaring war on him.

On the vast plains, swift heroes and guardian ghost generals clashed.

……

Although the red team's Lancer Karna was also rushing towards the fortress ahead, this distance was not as easy as the land Achilles traversed.

The fire that fell from the sky was still burning on the ground, but Karna only tore all the flames apart with the spear in his hand.

Fortunately, the flames weren't enough to cause him significant damage.

Even if flames swirl around it, they will only leave faint scorch marks, which will be restored in the next instant.

"The Son of the Sun, but he is a little lower than me."

Karna sensed the power of his target within the flames.

Because Karna possesses the highest level of divine aptitude, that is, he received A-level divinity from the sun god.

When facing Servants who are also from the solar system and whose divinity is lower than his, his divinity can exert extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Therefore, the flames did not cause Karna too much damage, but only made it a little difficult for him to cross.

“Here comes Karna, son of Surya.”

Manju stood on the altar and took the remaining flames still burning in the golden incense burner with his hands.

"Although it is not a character that I am good at dealing with, Kouji is just a single servant. It is a bit too much of an underestimation to think that he can deal with me who is standing here."

Even if the base has not yet been successfully built, Manju is enough to exert the power of a Servant at the pinnacle, not to mention that he is not as short of mana supply as the Red side.

Danic's preparations over the past sixty years have been quite successful, at least in this respect. He accepted the Mujik clan into Yggdrasilia and, using the Einzbern family's technology acquired from the Mujik clan, created androids as a source of magical energy through alchemy.

This at least prevents the Black faction's Servants from worrying too much about mana consumption, although originally there weren't many Black faction Servants who consumed a lot of mana.

However, at times like this, words are indeed scarce and dull. Manju reached out and grabbed the illusory bow from the air, placing the fire he had taken on the bow.

This bow looks more realistic than it did last night; at least it wasn't hastily made.

This bow, named Sharur, was once Ninurta's weapon, but has now been crafted into a longbow, serving as a hunting weapon. (Note: The last line appears to be an unrelated advertisement and has been omitted from the translation.)

With a burst of strength, Manju drew the longbow, forming arrows from lightning and attaching flames to them.

The smoke and clouds in the sky continued to roar, and flashes of fire were launched from the ground into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of electric light appeared in the smoke and clouds. The electric current absorbed the magic in the smoke and clouds and was about to transform into lightning and descend.

The lightning bolts shooting down from the clouds were like divine punishment, their booming flashes filling people with fear.

However, this did not cause Karna, who was rushing forward, to change his expression in the slightest. He raised his divine spear, ready to split the lightning falling from the sky in two.

However, the lightning that fell from the sky was not just one or two bolts; at least a dozen or twenty bolts of lightning fell together.

Simply swinging the divine spear in one's hand is not enough to shatter it so easily.

"Flames."

And so flames surged forth from the divine spear.

The raging flames on the spear expanded instantly, engulfing Karna's surroundings.

The ever-burning fire ravaged the lightning, while the golden spear slashed down the lightning that could penetrate the flames.

But there was something else. Karna looked up and continued to gaze at the clouds in the sky.

It wouldn't just be lightning that falls from there; there should also be heavenly fire as punishment.

The flames shone brightly, extremely hot; they were karmic fires descended from the heavens, meant to burn the disobedient to ashes, leaving not a drop of blood.

This isn't something that can be resisted by just releasing flames, but those flames can't truly stop a hero either. Q

Second-rate characters might indeed be consumed by these flames, but Karna, the son of the sun god, cannot be burned away by them.

Karna plunged his spear into the ground, and flames erupted in his eyes.

"A true hero kills with his eyes!"⑨

Flames burst forth from Karna's eyes, forming a beam of fire that shot directly towards the smoke and clouds in the sky.

Karna could tell that the smoke and clouds in the sky were the catalyst Manjushri had prepared to launch an ambush.

Using the smoke and clouds from the incense burner, Manjushri still had the strength to continue his attack on the Hanging Gardens while simultaneously hindering Garna.

The rain of fire from the sky continued unabated. Semiramis, constantly defending with magical spells, was not immune to fatigue.

Karna's orders were to stop Black's Archer from continuing his attack on the Hanging Gardens, so he chose to use his Eye Cannon to break through. 3

It was also fire, but the falling karmic fire was a wide-area attack. The eye cannon, condensed into a beam, collided with the karmic fire, tearing a hole in the falling flames in the sky so they could continue forward and bombard the smoke and clouds. (3)

The beams of flame ignited the smoke, and the purple smoke from the incense dissipated within the flames. (Ling)

The remaining heavenly fire continued to fall, which Karna defended with his armor, making the exchange without a second thought.

"Since you are unwilling to be stopped by David's fire, then come and see the fire of hell."

When Manjushri saw Karna disperse the smoke and clouds, he temporarily halted his attack on the Hanging Gardens and retrieved a burning sword from the sunlight that pierced the night.

“O holy Uriel, I seek your grace, may you cut away all that does not conform to your will with the sword of truth.”

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fiery Sword and Spear

The billowing smoke was burned by the flames, but the flames would also be extinguished.

For a blaze of fire, far more intense and terrifying, was rising in the sky.

Under the cover of night, the burning flames ignited the entire night sky like a glowing sunset.

The flames will eventually converge in the sky, the condensed flames resembling the sun high in the heavens, radiating a terrifying magic.

"Stop here, Lancer of the Red Team, Karna, son of Surya. You may only go this far, you may not go any further."
