Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

The battle begins!

The evil of this world and Angra Mainyu are not actually the same thing.

Before the Holy Grail was contaminated by Angora Mainyu, it contained some pure magic power, but after Angora Mainyu contaminated the Holy Grail, the magic power was contaminated and became the evil of this world.

So if you blow up the Holy Grail, the evil of this world will disappear from this location after a round of explosion.

But not Angra Mainyu.

Having lost the Holy Grail, as long as 767 carries a part of the evil of this world, he can still wander outside.

So the arrangement we have to make this time is actually very simple.

Medea and Aozaki Touko performed a large-scale magic together. Relying on the fact that Ryudo Temple is an extremely excellent spiritual place, Medea has turned the surrounding area into a temple, and used almost all the magic power gathered in this temple on this ritual.

This technique is aimed at the evil in this world.

This is also what Medea and Aozaki Touko are going to do.

That is to use this technique to temporarily suppress the evil in this world.

As for Angra Mainyu—that was the enemy Roland had to deal with.

"Do you really want to go by yourself?"

Bai Mao looked at Roland who was already walking towards the Holy Grail, and she slowly spoke in the shadow.

"Of course, after all, this is something that has already been decided, isn't it?"

Roland walked to the front of the Holy Grail, then turned around and smiled at Baimao.

"Don't worry, I'll never do anything I'm not sure of."

Roland said this and reached out to the Greater Holy Grail.

When his hand touched the Holy Grail, he disappeared in the light emitted by the Holy Grail.

When Roland regained his vision, he was already in a very special space.

It seemed as if everything around was pitch black, with a bit of dark red chaos constantly flowing. Roland was in a place surrounded by this chaos, a vast empty, desolate space with almost nothing in it.

And here, Roland also saw Angra Mainyu.

"You actually found this place..."

When Angra Mainyu saw Roland coming here, he slowly stood up from the ground.

He wore a red cape on his lower body and a headband of the same color on his head. His exposed muscles were engraved with dense and strange patterns. He stared at Roland with his golden eyes. He was obviously smiling, but he exuded an extremely obvious malice.

"Although as a Servant, I am the weakest one I have ever seen - but it is a mistake for a magus like you to come to me in person."

"Ah, no, this is the only way you can deal with me."

"After all, this space is located inside the Greater Holy Grail. It is a ritual site used to sacrifice Servants in a ceremony called the Holy Grail War. So, are you afraid that I will control the power of the Holy Grail, so you send away the Servants who come here directly?"

"If that's the case, then you guys are really being forced into a desperate situation~"

As he said this, Angora Mainyu opened his hands, and a dark, shadow-like malice instantly covered his entire body. Then he turned directly into a dark orc that looked like a werewolf, but his facial features and ears looked more cunning and more disgusting.

Moreover, his originally cheerful voice, after changing into this form, became a special tone that was hard to tell whether it was hoarse or deep, but it sounded like the voices of multiple people were forcibly combined together.

"——After all, no matter how weak I am, I am still a Servant!"

With one foot on the ground, Angola Mainyu rushed directly towards where Roland was.

Although Angra Mainyu always talks about being the weakest servant, in fact his speed is also rated A, which is almost the same as that of the Hyakumo without the split form.

This speed is almost a fatal blow to normal humans.

but...

His opponent is Roland!

His movements were easily captured by Roland using his six eyes.

Then the pitch-black shadow crawled onto Roland's body, causing Roland to enter a semi-fused state of shadow fusion.

At this moment, all of his attributes are comparable to those of Altria.

Facing Angola Mainyu who was rushing towards him, Roland took the initiative to meet him and found a good attacking position for himself. Then he directly slapped Angola Mainyu's head with his right hand.

Most people probably don't know much about Angolan Mainyu.

But Roland knew that the effect of this guy's treasure, the Pseudo-Copy of All Things, was counter-injury.

That is, as long as he is not dead and activates his Noble Phantasm, the injuries on his body will rebound to his opponent.

This thing's method of attack is curse.

It's not a purely physical attack.

So even if he succeeded in launching it, it would still be a little troublesome.

This forced Roland to choose the simplest and purest way of killing with one blow.

When his hand slapped Angora Mainyu's head, the channel of imaginary space opened directly in his palm.

After Roland's hand reached Angora Mainu's head, the channel of the imaginary space directly put Angora Mainu's head in. Then, before he could pull his head out, Roland directly closed the channel of the imaginary space, causing his head to be cut off on the spot by the space crack!

It was just a face-to-face encounter.

But Roland did not stop being on guard, even after the headless corpse had fallen to the ground.

And in fact, Roland was right.

The headless black orc's body lay on the ground motionless. After a while, it found that Roland still did not take the bait, so it had to crawl up from the ground. Then the black color slowly faded, revealing the appearance of Angora Mainyu again.

He scratched his head and continued to face Roland with his malicious smile.

"You really weren't fooled at all."

"And just now I clearly used the part of the evil of this world that originally existed in me as the composition, and deliberately let you touch it, but judging from your condition, the evil of this world does not seem to be as useful to you as I thought..."

Hearing him say this, Roland still had the same expression and looked at him indifferently.

"Using the evil of this world to fight the enemy - this is what I thought of in my first plan against you."

"Use some kind of camouflage to cover up your injuries, then lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Once I enter the capture range of your Noble Phantasm, you activate the Noble Phantasm to bounce the injuries back to me. This is the combat method I recorded in the third version of the plan against you."

Hearing Roland say this, the smile on Angola Mainyu's face froze a little.

"I didn't expect you to know my Noble Phantasm... But what are you talking about? I'm not injured at all."

Hearing his words, Roland shook his head slightly.

"The limitation of your Noble Phantasm in terms of rebounding injuries is that if you die and don't have time to activate it, then it is as good as nothing. And after the injuries are rebounded, your own injuries will not be healed, so you need someone to fight alongside you, and then eliminate the enemy when both you and the enemy are seriously injured."

"But you have the help of the evil of this world. Even though most of the evil of this world has been suppressed, it is still in you."

"Let me correct what you said before. The reason I didn't let the servants deal with you is not because this is a ritual site, but because of the evil of this world that still exists in you."

"Then let's get back to the topic we were discussing. Since you have a method that can help you fight the enemy even when you are seriously injured, the only limitation on your Noble Phantasm is the extent of your injury."

"But if it's an enemy, then it's untrustworthy no matter what you say. Since your Noble Phantasm is only a rebound of injuries, attacking yourself to control the extent of your injuries is the best way to use it."

When Angra Mainyu heard Roland breaking down his information bit by bit and speaking it out in pieces, even he could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

Because everything Roland said was right!

As almost the weakest servant, he only had a few moves, and now Roland had seen through them all!

This made his face even uglier.

But what he got in return for this expression was not Roland's smug look, but Roland's still calm voice.

"Stop acting. As a carrier of the evils of this world, if you can't even bear this little bit of malice, then you are still Angra Mainyu - you should have a trump card, use it quickly, otherwise, let's end it."

Hearing Roland say this, the expression on Angola Mainyu's face instantly returned to his original state, and he even smiled happier than before.

"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who can understand me. If possible, I really don't want to kill you. I really want to assimilate you into our community... But unfortunately, it may not work for you."

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry - you should die here!"

As Angra Mainyu spoke, two dark figures appeared beside him.

One was holding two guns, and the other was wearing full armor and holding a sword.

So far, all of Angra Mainyu's actions were within Roland's calculations.

And Roland finally saw the purpose for which he came here.

That is - Shadow Follower.

....

50. Shadow Dragon

Roland himself came to Angra Mainyu with multiple purposes, and purifying the Holy Grail was only the most basic one.

One of the reasons is to guard against the evil of this world in him.

And this is also a reason to come and find the Shadow Servant.

Roland had a rough idea of ​​why Angramainu would use Shadow Servants. When Medea was collecting intelligence, she discovered that in addition to the evil of this world and Angramainu that Roland mentioned, she felt that there was something else in the Holy Grail - something like a fragment of a Heroic Spirit.

Roland thought about this for a long time, and finally felt that it might be a Shadow Servant.

And it's different from the usual spirits that haven't completely become Servant. It seems to be a fragment of a Heroic Spirit... probably something that Angra Mainyu took from some of the Servants when they retired after he contaminated the Holy Grail.

If that's the case, then it can't be Altria.

Nor can it be Gilgamesh.

In addition, all the remaining servants from the Fourth War, even Iskandar and Hundred Faces, are possible, and there may even be a few shadow servants from the Third War.

The worst possibility that Roland had thought of was that all of them were present, and the servants in the fourth war knew each other, but for the third war... there was nothing he could do about that. Roland didn't even know what servants were summoned in the third war.

And since a part of it was intercepted by Angra Mainyu, it is possible that the Noble Phantasm can be used.

In this case, the threat value of a servant that you don't understand at all, even if it's a shadow servant, is very high.

But in fact, Angra Mainyu was far from that level. He only had two shadow servants, and Roland recognized them from their outlines and weapons.

One is the Lancer during the Fourth World War, Diarmuid.

Well... judging from the way this guy looked when he left the stage, Roland would not be surprised even if he would be waiting here after turning evil, not to mention that he would be intercepted by Angola Mainyu.

And the other one, judging by the outline of his armor and sword... is Lancelot, the Berserker from the Fourth World War.

"Go ahead, my Servant!"

Angora Mainyu was obviously not kind enough to explain to Roland who these two shadow servants were and what their abilities were, so after calling them out, he directly let them launch the attack.

Then he transformed himself into the appearance of the black orc again, followed by the two shadow servants, and rushed towards Roland.

Seeing this scene, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was designing Shenwei before, he had specifically guarded against the possibility that the space rift could not be cut through, making it impossible for him to close the imaginary channel.

And now he encountered such an enemy.

If the indestructible lake light in Lancelot's hand can be preserved in this state, then this sword will be something that cannot be cut by the space rift.

Diarmuid is even more ruthless. If his two guns have their own abilities, then the magic-breaking red rose can even directly pierce his own imaginary magic.

Furthermore, in this state, both of Diarmuid's guns are black like shadows, and it is impossible to tell which gun it is by the color.

However, Roland knew that the red rose that could break magic was about 2 meters long, while the yellow rose that could kill was 1.4 feet long. So under the capture of the six eyes, the longer one would break magic, and the shorter one would cause the wound to not heal.

If it was Diarmuid in his prime, with his martial arts skills, it would be difficult for you to tell the length of his two guns after he wielded them.

But as for the Shadow Servant, it’s not so bad.

But even so, if Roland, who had just completed the Kamui period, faced this situation, he might only be able to summon a pack of shadow wolves to bully the shadow servants who have no brains and use Minato Namikaze's tactics.

Alternatively, the entire micro black hole will do.

but now

Roar--!

After Angra Mainyu and his two shadow servants rushed over, they found that Roland in front of them was swelling up!

The pitch-black, breathless, extremely mysterious and terrifying shadow seemed to have swallowed Roland completely.

Roland first entered a state of complete fusion.
