Davidian's Holy Grail War

Ritsuka brought up the promise they made, and Mashu said that Bagst had already told the fairies in Manchester about it.

"Then let's go to Manchester now. We need to see what the calamity is really like and also make sure there are no survivors."

Ritsuka's words were not denied by the others. Nemo also said that although it was a roundabout way, it was not a problem as a breakthrough path to the Great Cave.

At Storm Border's current speed, they can get there quickly. Once they arrive, they can immediately deploy Shadow Border. Munir bravely chose to launch the attack; he will be the pilot.

"We shouldn't encounter any fighting this time. Let's go quickly and come back quickly, Mash, let's go!"

The three immediately rushed towards Shadow Border's location. After Storm Border completed its deployment at the designated location, Shadow Border sped directly towards Manchester.

At this moment, Munir was shocked. The temperature outside was a staggering 1000 degrees Celsius! No wonder even Moss dared not approach this place; the situation here had completely changed.

"Ritsuka, make sure you're fully covered in your formal attire. The situation outside is practically a forest fire!" Munir had said this to him before they arrived. However, once they arrived, Munir fell silent; he didn't even want to open the door.

Just as Mashu was saying they had to get out, Munir said they absolutely couldn't go out now! He even shouted, "How did things turn out like this!"

Just as everyone was curious about what was going on and went to the observation window, what they saw shocked them.

The corpses were piled up like mountains in Manchester; not only goblins, but all the humans were dead. And they hadn't been burned to death; the human corpses showed signs of being torn apart by fangs, while the goblin corpses showed signs of being hacked by weapons.

Ritsuka immediately realized that the humans were killed by the fairies, who disliked metal and thus killed the humans with their bare hands... while the fairies were killed by Bagst.

[Baghster...is this your final duty? Even if they were carefully selected, in the end they revealed their malicious side, leaving you no choice but to stand by and do nothing?]

Ritsuka quickly understood what was going on, so he didn't say anything more.

Bagst reappeared before everyone, and Munir could only say that this was completely different from what was in the report, even worlds apart!

While they were still wondering what was going on, Bagst had already rushed forward and sent the entire Shadow Border flying with a single sword strike.

The greatsword slapped them away like a ball, and at the moment of contact, Ritsuka could feel her magic power being drained away again.

Bagst is probably completely out of his mind now, acting purely on instinct. And just as Munir was agonizing over what to do, Bagst left with a large pack of black dogs.

This whole thing was so bizarre that Mashu and Munir couldn't understand what was going on at all. However, Ritsuka simply made a call in silence and reported the situation.

“Report to Storm Border: There are no survivors in Manchester. We have no more people to rescue. Requesting the recapture of Shadow Border.”

"OK. Storm Border is about to begin the recovery operation. Thank you for your hard work, Ritsuka." Da Vinci's voice came through, and Munir immediately drove to the designated receiving location.

Since we can't figure things out right now, let's not think about it anymore and go back to Storm Border first.

Back on the ship, everyone could see that the three of them didn't look too good, so they stopped mentioning Manchester.

There's no way to deal with Bagst, who has become the "Calamity of the Beast," for the time being; their immediate priority remains Kornunos in the Great Cave.

“Cast, you actually knew before, didn’t you? Her true identity, Morgan’s real purpose in naming her.” Ritsuka asked her this, and Cast could only nod.

This was something she couldn't change; it was Bagst's true nature. And their battle with Bagst was ultimately unavoidable, a calamity that would sweep across all of Britain.

“Miss Bagst…it is precisely because she knows she was born a calamity that she is so strict with herself and strives to become a model knight…”

Mashu lamented the reality, but then screams erupted from the sailors; they could now see the large cavern. But the scene there was simply too terrifying to bear! They couldn't even look!

Nemo scolded, "Now is not the time for such things! We can talk about crying later! Let's project the situation of the great cave onto the main screen first!"

The sailor tearfully recounted the scene, and when Ritsuka saw the enormous thing, she could only whisper its name—the Beast God Cornunos.

Chapter 449 Savior

"The black mist leaking from the great cave is heavily polluted by the cursed layer! Anyone who touches it will become delirious and begin to rot! So you absolutely must not touch it!"

But...wow, the inside of that huge cave is practically another dimension! No matter what I project, there's absolutely no response; it's a bottomless, cursed cave!

The sailor's words sent chills down everyone's spines, but Nemo calmed himself down and told the sailors to quickly measure what that hairy thing was. If that was Kornunos, then just how powerful was it?

"It's impossible to measure! The magic power is impossible to measure! The spirit origin is impossible to determine! The actual length and volume cannot be calculated! Compared to the Great Cave, the exposed parts alone are already over 2 kilometers long! It's just too big! Even the deep sea doesn't have a monster like this!"

Ritsuka turned to Grimm and asked, "Is this the god in the mural, Cornunos?" Indeed, things weren't so simple back then; otherwise, how could its curse and resentment have reached such a level?

“Yes, in Celts, he is the one who knows the underworld and the king of beasts; in Britain, he is the beginning of creation. The beast god Cornunus, that is why I was chosen by the god of wisdom to be his vessel. But I never expected it to turn out like this. This joke is too cruel, god of wisdom.”

Grimm barely managed to suppress his urge to curse and explained part of the situation. The size of Kornunos before him was beyond the capabilities of humans or fairies; sending him to deal with it was a joke! Odin!

"Am I dreaming?! Zeus is one thing, he's a machine after all! Thor is also a bit... well, but snow-capped mountains with mammoths is acceptable! But those are living beings!"

Such a gigantic creature couldn't possibly survive! And, to think it just appeared right in front of Camelot! How are they supposed to retrieve Rungomminiad then? Are you kidding me?!

Faced with Director Goldrov's current panic, even though Ritsuka was mentally prepared, she could only say:

"There's no chance now. Morgan equipped those twelve holy lances with Davian's miraculous power specifically to deal with Cornunos. You'll see, if no one operates them now, the first thing to be destroyed will be the holy lances."

This was a curse that could only be described as terrifying, that's what Ritsuka thought at that moment. The being that Oberon spoke of, the one who existed in Britain and cursed all life, was none other than Cornunos before her.

No matter how hard Ritsuka tried to recall, he couldn't think of a more powerful God of Curses than the one before him.

"So, Miss Ash, she..."

“She had long prepared the means to defeat Cornunos. She had long prepared the plan to protect Britain.”

Mash and Percival finally understood just how much Morgan had done, and they could even now grasp the purpose of the magic he had collected. To use the accumulated resources of the Fairy Kingdom for over two thousand years to directly confront the God of Curses with all his might? What a bold and audacious move, truly admirable.

Just as they were thinking this, black mist emerged from the large cave. Ritsuka finally saw the shape of the black mist clearly; it was the same one that had appeared in Norwich, meaning that the calamity back then was merely…

“That’s right, it’s a hand, just one of that guy’s many hands.” Caster’s thoughts were exactly the same as his, so she could speak for Ritsuka.

At this moment, the black mist had completely crushed the royal city, as had the Holy Lance! The sailor shouted that the magic gauge had exploded! The cursed layer pollution originating from the great cave was growing explosively!

"Pollution emissions...estimated at 640 million tons! No, they're still increasing! It's a cursed tsunami that will engulf the entire United States!"

So the next moment, countless black, calamity-inducing hands erupted from the great cave! At this moment, forget about retrieving the Holy Lance, escaping was the priority! The entire Storm Border turned 180 degrees and fled. Forget about being swallowed up; even the slightest touch would mean certain death!

But the alarm sounded again very quickly; in this environment, the power simply couldn't be increased! It couldn't ascend any further! Cornunos's hands were too numerous to measure; there was no way to escape!

"Let me get outside! I'll unleash the full power of miracles and blow this guy up!" Gareth said as she rushed out of the ship. They really had no other options, so they'd let her go!

However, just as she thought this, five enormous tails suddenly appeared, blocking Kornunos's cursed hand for them. This immediately relieved a great deal of pressure, restored Storm Border's power, and they could now escape!

"That's good. It wasn't in vain that they stepped forward. Has the security of NFF services really impressed you all?"

When that voice came, Ritsuka couldn't help but call out her name. Tamamo Mikochi Koyanskaya? How did she even make it in time?

"Koyanskaya's beast form? Sailor, can you project an image?" Holmes was thinking of something more, but Ritsuka immediately stopped Sailor.

What a joke! How is this any different from taking advantage of someone in distress? Ritsuka could never do such a thing to someone who had just helped her.

"As expected of humanity's last Master, he really knows how to have a romantic sense of style."

Peeping into a lady's secrets is a great sin! You understand women so well, I'm almost falling in love with you.

However, if you want to get away, I advise you to do it as soon as possible, as this emergency evacuation service is only available once! Next time, there will be a charge!

Upon hearing her words, Ritsuka immediately shouted, "Full power! Even if an engine is totaled, it doesn't matter. I'll take full responsibility afterward!"

"Thank you for your help. I'll settle things here and we'll have a fair duel to decide who wins!" Ritsuka said, and Storm Border accelerated to its maximum speed to escape the airspace.

Koyanskaya was also exhausted at this moment, but she was still smiling to herself. Was she already thinking about the future? Human ambition is truly remarkable.

However, this deal was a huge loss, and I have to retreat to headquarters. But... the Curse of Kornunos dares to claim that it is a weapon that can destroy the world. That's too much of an exaggeration.

This is not a curse against foreign enemies, but a curse against one's own people, a self-destructive curse...

To protect the ships, I had no choice but to absorb this thing, but it's likely to be a terrible, defective product... Oberon, you're in for a world of trouble, after all, they all survived...

With Koyanskaya's help, they finally escaped. However, at this time, the [Beast Calamity] was ravaging all the cities, and Kornunos, who crawled out of the great cave, was indiscriminately releasing curses.

They set out with the idea of ​​saving Britain... but so far they've saved nothing.

A sense of sorrow and resentment filled the control room. Holmes lamented that Britain's demise was inevitable, and that this demise might even spread to the entire Earth. Both the Lostbelts and Pan-Human History would vanish into darkness.

However, at this moment, a voice appeared:

"It's alright~ There's still hope~ It's too early to give up, about an hour has passed! The sins accumulated by the fairies over fourteen thousand years. The two calamities mentioned in the prophecy, the corpse of the god appearing in the great cave."

The power of pan-human history is insufficient to contend with or defeat it. However, that is all merely wishful thinking existing only under such circumstances.

The British Lostbelt has evolved into a singularity, transforming into Pan-Human History, also known as a historical distortion. If the singularity is corrected, history can be restored, and the Fairy Kingdom will cease to exist.

This is undoubtedly within your jurisdiction, after all, you've fixed it many times before!

Chapter 450 The Sinking Begins

"Merlin!" Ritsuka shouted excitedly. He knew that this guy would never stand idly by! And at this most crucial moment, the most reliable flower-loving older brother indeed arrived at the scene.

The next moment, after a shower of petals, Merlin suddenly appeared before everyone. He said something apologetic as he walked towards them with a smile.

"Giving up isn't your style. The real key to the battle against Britain is yet to come! So, allow me to greet you all again. Hello, Chaldea members. After Morgan was defeated, the [Court] disappeared, right? I'm actually Merlin, who regained his freedom quite a while ago~"

Ritsuka carefully recalled how many days had passed since Morgan was defeated... It's only been less than a week, can that be considered quite a while ago?

"Alright, alright, Merlin, I'm finally a little relieved to see you here. It's a good thing Fou isn't here, otherwise I would have definitely slapped your face this time."

Upon hearing Ritsuka's words, Merlin laughed heartily and said:

"It's great to see you're still so healthy, Fujimaru Ritsuka-kun. Speaking of which, that excited shout of my name just now was because you were happy that I'm safe and sound, not because of a calm judgment or criticism of me—you've been leisurely watching the game all this time, haven't you!?"

Ritsuka gave a subtle look and said, "That's hard to say. After all, even Morgan criticized Merlin as a heartless and ungrateful man during the final battle. So it's hard to say whether Ritsuka really wanted to give Merlin a harsh critique..."

But then Merlin's figure flickered like a candle flame, and feeling the turbulence in his own existence, he could only sigh that it really felt like a dream with his eyes open.

"What you see of me now is actually an illusion; I am not actually here. All I can receive are your voices. I cannot see Ritsuka and Mashu, so please immerse yourselves in the emotion of our reunion later."

Don't worry, I'll see your fully grown faces in a few hours. I'll be waiting patiently at the park entrance!
