Abnormal Moon

Roy smiled knowingly.

"At the very least, we should eliminate this branch in Fuyuki City, right?"

The Magic Association's control over Japan was never very strong to begin with.

Given the current difficulties with transportation, if they decide to break ties with the Magic Association, the Magic Association headquarters might not even bother with them.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Greater Grail is not in Fuyuki City.

As a remnant of the Third Law, the Mage's Association is determined to obtain the Greater Grail.

"I don't need you to teach me."

Rin Tohsaka glanced at Roy.

Having served as mayor for so many years, she had long considered countless ways to destroy the association's branches, both openly and secretly, but they were difficult to implement. This Holy Grail War was indeed an opportunity, but it was still incredibly difficult to execute.

"As long as you understand that I'm not just driven by lust, that's fine."

Roy waved his hand dismissively.

His goodwill toward the Nakano sisters was simply because he didn't want them to fall into Atram's hands; that scoundrel changed women more often than he changed clothes.

How could my anime waifu fall into the hands of someone like this?

If he does nothing, he won't be able to get over his own mental hurdle.

Of course, he doesn't deny that he has some ulterior motives; who hasn't thought about getting close to their two-dimensional waifu?

But what's wrong with having ideas? Everyone has ideas.

The key point is that he did not put this idea into practice. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai had been at his house for several days, and he did not cross the line at all.

After three years of torment by the curse, he was only confident in his self-control.

He won't do anything to them if they don't want to.

"Let's go."

Roy walked down the mountain.

"Who will be the next prey?"

He was referring to the corrupted Servant.

"Wait a mininute."

Rin Tohsaka looked up at the sky.

A moment later, a bird-shaped familiar descended from the sky.

"It seems that Bazett has also dealt with the corrupted Lancer."

"Of course, Bazett can be used as a Servant on his own. The corrupted Lancer has no Master, so it's like two against one, and it's normal for him to be overwhelmed."

"Her follower seems to be Caster, a blue-haired young man dressed somewhat like a druid, and the magic he uses is likely Norse runes."

"Hmm, I already know who it is."

"Really? You're reading the script again... Oh, so according to you, it's a record from a parallel world?"

"almost."

Roy nodded with a smile.

"That's probably Cú Chulainn, the son of Ruge, the Celtic god of light."

"The Child of Light? Bazett is a descendant of the Red Branch Knights of Celtic mythology, so summoning Cú Chulainn is in line with her personality. Maybe Cú Chulainn is her idol. Cú Chulainn himself was taught by Scáthach, the Queen of the Demon Realm, and learned the original runes. He does have the suitability of Caster. However, for Cú Chulainn, the Lancer class is definitely stronger."

"Hmm, that means there are only three corrupted Servants left."

"Hmm, the corrupted Saber, Assassin, and Berserker... which one do you think we should choose?"

Rin Tohsaka released her familiar, letting it fly into the sky, and then turned to Roy for his opinion.

"That goes without saying, it's obviously the corrupted Assassin."

"That's right. The corrupted Saber is King Arthur, and that holy sword is just too powerful. The corrupted Berserker's identity is unclear. Now, the corrupted Assassin's identity is clear, and his strength is relatively weak, making him easier to bully!"

Rin Tohsaka nodded in agreement, as she herself preferred to hunt down the corrupted Assassin first.

"You've dealt with the corrupted Caster and obtained a Command Spell. Now it's our turn to deal with the corrupted Assassins!"

"Okay."

Roy nodded happily.

The corrupted Assassin is Hassan with Hundred Faces, possessing dozens of clones, making him quite difficult to defeat. So let's leave him to the Archer Rin team; he's happy to have an easy time. A single or two Command Seals are not within his scope of objectives.

The reason he was willing to hunt down corrupted Servants was, like Rin Tohsaka's, simply to eliminate dangerous factors that threatened the safety of Fuyuki City.

He didn't want to see Fuyuki City destroyed.

Suddenly.

A familiar descended from the sky and landed on Rin Tohsaka's shoulder.

Before Rin Tohsaka could even ask a question, it screamed first.

"Oh no! Oh no! The corrupted Saber has left her position and started moving!"

"Which way did they go? Could they have gone towards the city wall?"

Rin Tohsaka's expression changed drastically; was the corrupted Saber about to attack the city?

"Boom——!!!"

Suddenly, a jet-black beam of light shot into the sky from afar, piercing the clouds. The immense magical pressure could be clearly felt even from several kilometers away.

"Which direction is that?"

Roy narrowed his eyes.

"It's not a city wall!"

The familiar bird screamed.

"It's the castle of Eindzbern!"

Chapter 46 Why is the seawood stake so weak again?

Einzbern Castle.

This place was originally covered by several massive barriers, which protected it from curses and monsters.

The person residing here is Illyasviel von Einzbern, a participant in this Holy Grail War.

Originally, thanks to the barrier covering the surroundings, this place should have been a rare paradise in the wild, and there might even be pets kept here.

But today.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered.

Like a muscular monster, it raced across the dark plains at breakneck speed, like a missile.

Another figure, as small as a young girl, moved swiftly and nimbly like the tip of a knife.

A muscular, steel monster and a dignified young swordswoman constantly clash.

Each impact caused the earth to sink and the winds to rage.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the world lost its color.

The earth was shaking violently.

The monster, whose muscles were like cast iron, wielded a giant axe-sword and, with the force of a rocket, slashed fiercely at the sword-wielding girl and the ground beneath her feet.

The young swordswoman remained fearless, her indifferent face devoid of emotion. Her magic, almost tangible, emanated from her body, covering the black holy sword and forming a blood-red greatsword, which she met head-on.

With a deafening roar, the earth shattered like a spider web, forming a deep crater several feet high.

Both sides were sent flying backward, and blood splattered everywhere.

Immediately, both sides quickly regained their footing and charged at each other like high-speed trains. In the fierce clash, the turbulent wind formed sharp blades that shattered the earth into pieces.

The deafening collision sound was like a continuous war drumbeat, without a single second's pause, making people's eardrums ache.

"Impossible! How could this be...!?"

At the castle gates, Ilya looked terrified.

"Berserker's life has been lost three times in such a short period of time! What's going on with that corrupted Saber? My Berserker is clearly invincible!"

The Servant summoned by the Einzbern family in this Holy Grail War is Hercules, a Berserker-class hero, one of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology, who was elevated to the status of Hercules by Zeus after his death.

But when Hercules appeared as the Berserker, most of his abilities were sealed away.

Its only Noble Phantasm, the Twelve Trials, can store life points and has excellent defensive capabilities. When facing opponents of similar strength, it can snowball and gradually build up a huge advantage, making it extremely formidable.

However, if he encounters an opponent whose strength surpasses his own, he will be as powerless as a giant wooden stake.

Seriously speaking, in a normal Holy Grail War, encountering a Servant stronger than Heracles is almost impossible.
