The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

This is a confrontation where you can go all out against a completely unexpected and formidable enemy.

This is not a battle fought for destiny, but a battle fought purely to satisfy desires and to seek victory through sheer power.

Although Karna initially arrived here under orders, he knew it from the firelight and the thunder.

This is not a battle fought on orders, nor is it a battle that must be fought for any reason.

That should exist as an instinct, pure fighting and slaughter.

Therefore, all one can gain from it is pleasure and comfort, giving one a wonderful feeling.

Karna wielded his divine spear, letting its brilliant flames cleave through any obstacle.

Amidst the sound of horns and the falling fire and blood, Karna mustered all his strength and launched an attack with his remaining magic.

The surging magical power transformed into flames that shot out from under Karna's feet, turning him into a shooting star that flew towards Manju, who was standing in front of him.

They dodged the flames, tore through the pressure, and were even directly destroyed and shaken by that incredible weight and sound.

Karna's body was torn apart countless times in that short distance. The pain contained within was something that only his willpower, which surpassed human intelligence, could have endured.

But he did overcome the obstacles ahead and break through numerous dangers to reach Manjusaki.

"Neither a beast nor a mortal. I acknowledge you as my enemy."

I watched as Karna, who had wielded flames and ravaged his own body, finally arrived here.

Manshu gently raised his hands to applaud, but since they were enemies, there was no room for the slightest slackness.

"However, the hunter's duty is to eliminate worthless pests and shoot down monsters that resist and oppose them."

"Since you are not a beast, the reasoning that applies to you is naturally clear."

At that moment, Manju shouted, using the sound of the horn to stop Karna from advancing, and then took a sword from who-knows-where.

It was a crimson holy sword, its surface shimmering with the aura of a saint.

Manju raised the sword, and magical energy gathered on it, bursting forth with dazzling holy light.

"Since you are my greatest enemy, then there is no doubt—you are a dragon!"

This bright red cross is undoubtedly the divine power of Michael, and the identity of the enemy in front of this cross is already self-evident.

This is a bright red cross formed by the blood that flowed from the dragon's body after Michael slew it, which clearly identifies the dragon as an enemy.

Of course, Christianity itself also has the custom of referring to enemies and oppressors as dragons.

Aside from the story of Michael slaying the dragon, the most famous dragon-slaying story in Christianity is probably the story of Giorgios slaying the dragon.

The origin of this story is Giorgios's resistance against the Roman Emperor Derrick, who persecuted Christians.

The sword's brilliant light shot forward, shining upon Karna and casting the phantom of a dragon upon him.

But the light did not stop; it continued forward, projecting onto the Hanging Gardens in the sky.

The shadow cast by the garden on the ground also transformed into a huge, terrifying phantom.

It was a ferocious monster, a poisonous dragon manifesting as a malevolent force.

The sound of the horn finally stopped, and Karna, ignoring the dragon shadow that had appeared on his body, charged forward, brandishing his divine spear.

But when the trumpet sounds cease, what follows is the judgment that will unleash the full force of wrath.

“I will recreate the miracle of Saint Michael, rise up at the end of the day, and slay the dragon and the serpent.”

These words will no longer be merely descriptions or prayers, but will become reality.

The weapon used to slay the dragon and serpent has fallen into Manjusaka's hands. This is the doomsday that Uriel will reveal, the judgment brought by that horn.

The blood that flowed from Satan and from the red dragon formed the divine power of Michael.

The crimson cross was now filled with dazzling holy light. This commander of the heavenly armies, even with just the divine might he unleashed, was enough to crush all oppressors and all evil dragons.

Having just regained his mobility, Karna felt an overwhelming, suffocating power the moment he continued forward.

Seeing the crimson cross, one should know that the dragon-like shadow beneath him entered his heart, making him timid and fearful.

The dragon's words echoed in Karna's mind, relentlessly urging him to run away.

He used all his strength to bewitch, just to prolong his short life.

Because this is an irresistible force, one that must be submitted to and overthrown.

The dragon's figure kept trying to escape backward, but it could only remain rooted to the spot.

Because the body that cast the shadow did not move backward, but instead continued to take difficult steps.

How could the dragon's laughable words and temptations shake the warrior's will?

Karna raised his divine spear high and once again recited the true name of his Noble Phantasm.

"Brahma, curse me!"

The swirling magic once again caused flames to erupt within the divine spear, and all the remaining strength was used to unleash this final strike.

9. The Undying Blade was thrown from Karna's hand, hurtling forward in an attempt to stop the cross that was being swung down.

But at this moment, this power has become fragile and powerless.

(4) Manju swung his sword, splitting the flames in two and shattering the thrown divine spear.

With a single swing, Ba possessed power surpassing all others; the divine spear burning with flames was torn apart, and even the brilliance of the universe and human wisdom were severed.

"How can the light of the sun compare with the most holy and sincere? The miracles of the past have fallen to judge all things."

Therefore, the flames that were powerful enough to cover and destroy the earth were torn apart, and the warrior who delivered the blow was destroyed by subsequent attacks.

Even though what Jiu continued to fall was only the remaining flames, it still destroyed most of Karna's body, causing him to fall from the sky like a bird with broken wings and crash onto the burning earth.

Karna's situation was not optimistic. Although the effects of the Sun Armor and the divinity of the sun prevented him from being completely destroyed, the remaining sword light possessed power that was almost enough to shatter him.

5. If it were an ordinary Servant, such damage would probably kill them instantly.

However, the will of a valiant hero cannot be confined by the laws of the world, even if his spiritual foundation is damaged and his physical body is shattered.

But thanks to Karna's incredible will, his armor allows his body to regenerate.

However, he had almost no magic left, which he used to restore his physical body, leaving him with no ability to move.

"Oh no! Oh no! The great city ahead is about to fall!"

Manju did not stop, but swung his sword forward again. This time, his target was not Karna, who had temporarily lost his function, but the Hanging Gardens high in the distance.

Just as the great city of Babylon was overthrown in the past, that city full of wealth and glory was replaced by death, sorrow and famine.

This magnificent garden will once again bear witness to that scene, where, under the howling holy light of the crimson cross, the spells used by the Hanging Gardens are as fragile as paper.

The eleven black coffins that had gathered together continuously emitted light blasts with military-grade power, but it wasn't enough, far from enough.

Even delaying the fall of the light of the 9th Cross was impossible; the divine light that brings calamity shattered and tore everything apart.

Only at the final moment of destruction was this radiance blocked for less than a snap of the fingers, but in return, the eleven black coffins that were meant to intercept it were simultaneously shattered.

This gave the Hanging Gardens a sliver of hope, allowing it to escape the fate of having its core destroyed.

The falling holy light crushed a third of the Hanging Gardens into dust, and the illusory shadow of the dragon on the ground howled in agony as if its wings had been cut off.

"Do they not wish for final destruction? Alas! Alas! This great city is destined to become a wasteland."

The voice of judgment never ceased, and the cross was swung for the third time.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Extinction of the Sun

The sounds of lamentation continued unabated; they wept and grieved, throwing dust on their heads as they cried out.

Alas! Alas!

The deafening roar split the sky, tearing apart the illusory dragon shadow on the earth along with it.

Those standing in the Sky Garden could only be terrified, trembling under the violent tremors and the incredible magical light.

They are the ones who weep and wail for the collapse of that prosperous city and those magnificent gardens.

"Alas! Alas! This great city!"

Shakespeare only uttered weeping and expressed his pity.

He hoped to see the ending, but at this moment, the story seemed to be drawing to a close, yet it was far from over.

"There will be no chance of escaping this next time; my garden is destined to collapse here."

Semiramis had already left the bow and gone to the auditorium below, where he spoke to Kotomine Shiro. (iv)

"There's still a chance; it's not time to lose yet."

Kotomine Shiro turned his head and spoke in a firm tone. (Umbrella)

"Aside from having your God send down his power, I honestly see absolutely no chance, especially since your God seems to prefer the one on the other side." —Lin

Semiramis said without any mercy, "If I didn't know the man before me, I would have thought he was still dreaming."

"Although it's slim, there's still something."

Kotomine Shiro said with certainty.

"But right now, we need to save our lives first."

So Kotomine Shiro continued speaking to the Masters in front of him, who were not even in a state of consciousness.

"The Holy Grail War has reached its most critical moment. Darnic has solidified the Yggdrasil's castle into an impregnable fortress with the Holy Grail, so we must rely on Lancer's gun."

"This is the last battle of the Holy Grail War. There's no point in having any more Command Seals left. Let's use them all."

"Hmm... now that you think about it, it seems so."

The magician, completely bewildered, gave a vague reply.

"Then trouble you."

Kotomine Shiro let out a breath, stood up, and said with a sigh of relief.

Although his words were always brimming with confidence, to be honest, he had little confidence when faced with an anomaly that was far beyond his expectations.

But this scene reminded him of some stories from the past.

In 1638, Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa family. After six years of persecution, the followers, unable to endure any longer, finally chose to rise up in rebellion.

Under the leadership of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the rebel army captured Hara Castle at the southern tip of the Shimabara Peninsula, and erected a cross and a banner that read "All things are one, and there is no distinction between the noble and the lowly" on the castle walls.
