Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

The attributes of these two Shadow Servants are not particularly significant, but their fusion with Roland officially makes Roland's Shadow Dragon form three times stronger than Artoria's in terms of attributes.

What's truly important is what Angra Mainyu extracted from their two Servants.

Diarmuid's twin pistols and Lancelot's sword.

These things were just weapons in the hands of the Shadow Followers, but after Roland fused them together, they became more than just weapons.

Instead, it consists of four abilities.

Break magic, curse (prevents wounds from healing), as well as invulnerability and attribute boosts.

As for weapons, they can be taken out, though.

But if we have the capabilities of these weapons, then what's the point of having weapons at all?

At least for Roland, his swordsmanship was weak in both the forehand and backhand, and even if he only used one spear, he would be as stupid as an ox or a horse.

However, if one wants to achieve something in martial arts, then a lot of time is required.

Unless Roland can directly draw Martial Arts, or draw Shirou Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works.

With Unlimited Blade Works, he could also learn projection magic and directly project weapons to gain the user's experience.

Otherwise... there's no need!

Yes, it's not that it's impossible, it's just that it's unnecessary.

Roland has already achieved immortality. If he really wanted to, he could spend a lot of time on this. Even if his talent was poor, hundreds or thousands of years wouldn't be enough, but tens or hundreds of thousands of years would surely be fine, right?

But is that really necessary?

Roland has a better talent for magic, and it would definitely be more worthwhile to invest his time in that before he reaches the pinnacle of magic.

As for the capabilities these weapons bring...

He would use it like this!

Roar--

With the roar of the Shadow Dragon, the black orc that Angra Mainyu had transformed into was flung away by Roland's outstretched wings.

Then he immediately saw a large amount of light and heat gather in the Shadow Dragon's mouth!

Medea imprinted Roland with a variety of fire magic spells, all of which were modified by Medea.

Medea herself can unleash fireballs the size of cars; she used this technique when she was being controlled to attack Sakura in the original scenario.

Medea herself would need to consider many factors when using such a technique, such as the issue of her inherent magical power.

However, Roland's inherent magical power was significantly greater than hers.

After receiving several times the boost in Shadow Dragon form, it becomes even more powerful.

Therefore, if Roland can increase the upper limit of magic output, he can do even more terrifying things.

Roar!

With the roar of the Shadow Dragon, in this small space, its head, which had been raised high, suddenly swung down as if it had bitten the sun off the sky!

The terrifying light and heat transformed into a torrent of intense heat and destruction the moment it exited the outlet!

Moreover, Angolan Manuel discovered that the flame was not red, but golden!

While judging the temperature of a flame by its color is rather unreliable, since many factors can affect the color of a flame, in magic, a flame that is a different color from a normal flame is not just a matter of temperature; it may contain special effects!

But Angolan Manuel had no time to worry about these things.

The flames covered such a large area that even with his speed, it was impossible for him to dodge them in such a small space. So when faced with these flames, he could only use the evil within him to resist them!

However, most of the evil in this world was suppressed by Medea and Aozaki Touko outside this space using special spells. Angola Mainyu could only use the ones he carried with him, which were not many.

This meant that although he wasn't killed instantly by the dragon's flames, after the Shadow Dragon stopped spewing flames, he still reverted from his orc form back to his original form, kneeling on the ground with large areas of burns on his body.

But he didn't die after all.

Moreover, although the golden flames were still burning the earth, he had at least crawled out of the flames' range, and the flames on his body had been extinguished by the evil of this world.

Angolan Manuel was now panting heavily.

However, the scorching air did not alleviate his condition; on the contrary, it worsened it, and he even felt dizzy!

This situation lasted for a while, and then Angolan Mainyu sensed that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, even if he was injured, the evil of this world should have helped him heal his wounds, but the burns from the flames... they didn't heal!

Moreover, the treatment has also failed!

He had just lost Diarmuid, so when he thought about the color of the flames and Diarmuid's indestructible Yellow Rose, he seemed to understand.

This is exactly the curse effect on Diarmuid's gun!

But as soon as he realized this, he had no time to think about these things anymore.

Because he saw it.

Through the distorted air heated by the intense heat, he saw the Shadow Dragon's enormous form spread its wings and soar into the air on the land scorched by golden flames...

The golden flames rose with its movement.

Surrounded by flames and storms, Shadow Dragon spread its body in the sky and raised its right claw high.

At that moment, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder that roared like war drums. In that deep rumble, it seemed as if the whole world was trembling beneath it!

Shadow Dragon's claws reached towards the sky.

A crimson lightning bolt flashed, only to be caught by its outstretched claws!

The lightning bolt, like a spear piercing the sky, fell like a meteor under the Shadow Dragon's movements—the dragon's power, carrying a massive lightning spear and thunderous shockwaves like war drums, crashed down directly, as if a judgment from the heavens!

At this moment, all the strange runes on Angra Mainyu's body lit up with a blue light, and even his hair turned blue.

He has already unleashed his Noble Phantasm at Shadow Dragon.

This was the last counterattack he could muster!

However, when the crimson lightning spear touched him, all the runes on his body lost their effect, and his Noble Phantasm failed to activate.

At that moment, Angolan Manuel, in his hazy consciousness, looked at the bolt of lightning that had dyed the entire world red, and he understood.

The golden flames before were Diarmuid's doomed Yellow Rose, and this crimson lightning is none other than the exorcising Red Rose!

I lost...

With his last thought, Shadow Dragon's lightning spear pinned him to the ground.

Then the Shadow Dragon's enormous body fell with immense power, while the dragon claw that had previously hurled the lightning spear rose high, its claw enveloped in crimson electricity, turning it the same crimson color.

The dragon claw descended along with the shadow dragon, and as it landed, it slammed into the lightning spear!

boom--!

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had gone dark.

The only light in the entire world that could suppress everything was the crimson lightning that struck the earth!

That was a lightning bolt that remained on your retina even after the light had faded!

With a single blow, Angolan Manuel was eliminated!

Roland also transformed from the Shadow Dragon form back into a semi-fused human form and left this space.

"I'll leave this to you now. Hurry up and purify the Greater Grail."

Roland spoke to Bai Mao, who was guarding the place, and then turned his head to look in the other direction.

"I have to go to the other side, otherwise the king who was invited will be getting impatient."

....

52. The Opening of the Drama

When they first started discussing how to deal with Gilgamesh, they had a very serious discussion about which battlefield to choose.

Choosing a Reality Marble from the start wasn't a good decision—because Gilgamesh does have the power to destroy Reality Marbles at any time. In that case, if he were to put in even a little effort, the setup would become ridiculous.

So in the end, the battlefield was chosen to be the abandoned factory area on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

As for how to get Gilgamesh to come.

When this question was raised at the meeting, Roland gave this answer.

"invite."

“If an invitation is extended, he will definitely come.”

While Roland was dealing with the affairs of Angolan Manuel, Gilgamesh received such an invitation.

You must be bored with this kind of game.

If that's the case, should we go to the abandoned factory area in the suburbs? (Address)

We've made a special arrangement for you here, and the game will officially begin at noon.

Inviters: All participants in the Fifth Holy Grail War

Invited: Gilgamesh, King of Uruk
