Looking at the man in black armor like an ancient emperor, the word "heroic spirit" suddenly flashed in Toosaka Rin's mind!

This person is definitely the heroic spirit that my father once mentioned!

In other words, the war between the seven magicians in Fuyuki City has spread here!

Although she was still very young, Toosaka Rin understood a lot of information that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in an instant. She looked at the scene in shock, and was extremely surprised.

"In the name of the Command Spell, have your Caster teleport back immediately. Otherwise, you will meet my Scourge army in Purgatory."

There was a terrifying light flashing in Shen Yuan's eyes.

Ryunosuke Uesugi's eyes widened with fear, and he nodded frantically like a chicken, then Shen Yuan threw him to the ground. Amidst violent coughing and gasping, the Command Seal engraving on Ryunosuke Uesugi's body lit up, and a blood-red particle light rose in the open space of the room, and Caster's figure slowly appeared.

"Oh~ What a beautiful and domineering figure. Sir, how has my Master offended you?"

When the ugly and terrifying demon-like Caster appeared, his dead fish eyes stared at Shen Yuan's position, and then he saluted gracefully.

"I'm here to kill you."

Shen Yuan raised Ye Yun with one hand, and the magic power of destroying everything emerged from it.

"kill me?"

The one he was trying to smite had come to him. This was something Caster had never considered. He couldn't help but laugh, then fell silent again. "I know your strength, Avenger, but since you insist on stopping me from meeting the holy Jeanne d'Arc, I won't hold back. Next, I will sacrifice the lives of 3791 children in this city and summon an army of pitch-black sea demons to fight you to the death. How about that? I wonder if this would be more artistically expressive than your Soul-Eating Night?"

Caster laughed loudly, his big eyes and smooth cheeks moving flexibly, as if celebrating his victory.

He was holding a thick book, which was the "Loyin City Textbook", the book related to Cthulhu. It was similar to the "R'lyeh Text" and was a magic book that could be ranked alongside the "Book of the Dead". It was shimmering with wet and shining light, and could summon the followers of the ancient evil god and the sea demons in the deep sea.

Shen Yuan could feel the huge magical power surging in this treasure and spreading towards the four directions.

There was no doubt that Caster was telling the truth.

Compared to Shen Yuan, the most evil combination in this Holy Grail War is undoubtedly the Caster combination.

"Goodbye. Summoning the sea demon is futile. Just die like this."

In this situation, Caster still revealed his trump card, which showed that he was desperate, because he had confronted him directly. If he could still be given the opportunity to summon the sea monster, he might as well resign and stop being a Heroic Spirit. He could just go home and farm with his wife.

"You can't! You must at least let me see Jeanne again, ahh ...

At the moment Nightfall struck, Caster scratched his scalp, bulged his eyes and screamed in anger, but it was useless.

"Destroyed!"

The next moment, Ye Yun came directly towards him!

The wall behind Caster was instantly covered with something that looked like blood, but he had no physical body. As a heroic spirit, his entire head turned into particle effects and dissipated, while his body knelt on the ground, having been directly shot in the head.

"How dare a mere mage talk about this in front of a warrior?"

Shen Yuan said this in a mocking tone, then crushed Caster's body, which had not yet completely dispersed, with one foot. His soul began to be absorbed and transformed by the Holy Grail. At the same time, on the church side, Kotomine Kirei's father also felt Caster's exit and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Hey, little guy over there, why don't you run away?"

Shen Yuan looked at Toosaka Rin, who covered her eyes and dared not look, with a half-smile. After he reminded her, the little girl hurriedly ran outside with her friends. After she left.

"Next-"

In fear, Ryunosuke Uryu, who was trying to escape outside, was suddenly hit on the spine by a heavy hammer from behind. Blood splattered on the spot and half of his body turned into meat paste.

"Let the Haunting Night put an end to this!"

Thick black fog enveloped the entire room. Countless hands stretched out from hell and dragged the screaming Uryu Ryunosuke into it. Other traces of blood in the room were also cleaned up. Apart from the signs of destruction everywhere, there was no trace of blood in the entire magic workshop. Everything was devoured by the dead souls.

At this point, Caster died.

Only the last five people are left in the Holy Grail War.

(There are still a few chapters left before this volume ends. If the fifth war is not continued, a new chapter will be started directly.)

Chapter 156: Ruler! Jeanne d'Arc and Black Jeanne d'Arc arrive!

Fuyuki City Church.

In this sparsely populated old church, there sat an old priest who was over eighty years old.

He is Kotomine Risei, a senior clergyman of the Holy Church. He served as the supervisor of the Third Holy Grail War sixty years ago. Now the church headquarters has once again sent him to Fuyuki City to supervise the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"Caster was killed?"

Father Li Zheng was looking at the magical aura in front of him in astonishment, and sighed helplessly.

After the signal to assemble the Masters was given, no one appeared at the Fuyuki Church. Instead, six familiars appeared. Of course, there was no sign of Irisviel, Tōsaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya, and Uryu Ryunosuke.

The other Masters also sent their representatives, and it was clear that they didn't care about the church's attitude at all.

The withdrawal of the Tōsaka family and the withdrawal of the Matou family was something that surprised Father Risei. However, the Hero King Gilgamesh summoned by Tōsaka Tokiomi has now become the Servant of his son, Kotomine Kirei, which means that the war of the Tōsaka family has not ended yet.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is the eighth class Avenger summoned by the Einzbern family in violation of regulations.

However, Kotomine Risei was not surprised by this, because illegal summoning had happened many times in previous Holy Grail Wars. If an eighth-class summoner did not appear, he would think it was a bit too "peaceful".

Because of this, the Holy Grail War needs him, the agent of the church, to be responsible for supervision.

The only thing that made Kotomine Risei feel vaguely uneasy was whether some major changes would occur in this Holy Grail War, just like the Third Holy Grail War.

However, what Kotomine Risei could not have imagined was that in the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, which gathered huge magical power and were enough to become the descent of the Holy Grail, strange magical fluctuations were coming.

"Is this... the call of the Holy Grail?!"

Kotomine Ri's eyes widened in astonishment. The magical power of the Holy Grail had not yet been fully replenished during the Fourth Holy Grail War, so why did it suddenly become active?

But he soon discovered that this was some kind of ritual by the Holy Grail to summon the heroic spirits.

Immediately, Father Risei hurriedly looked at the magic devices that supervised the servants in the Holy Grail War, and found that there were indeed a very rare number of special classes - the magic fluctuations of the ninth class!

"The saint chosen by God... could it be that he is the mediator?"

Father Li Zheng suddenly recalled the records of this rare and special job in the Holy Church.

——Mediator!

That is ruler.

There are roughly two situations in which Ruler is summoned.

One is that the format of this Holy Grail War is very special and the outcome is unknown, which means that the Holy Grail has determined that a Ruler is needed.

The second is that the impact of the Holy Grail War could cause the world to become distorted.

Therefore, the restraining force began to intervene and sent heroic spirits to intervene in the Holy Grail War. They can also be called "direction repairers" to prevent magicians from reaching the "root of the disaster", or "counterattack guardians".

As the name suggests, it is a system administrator similar to "fate" or "god" who discovered a "bug" in this Holy Grail War. The cause of this "bug" has been found out, and it is most likely the "Avenger", that is, Shen Yuan.

He used a power that did not belong to this world, namely the Card Master's R skill [Destiny]. This ability allowed the Inhibition Force, which was still investigating the "BUG", to instantly lock onto his existence. So in order to fix this BUG, the Inhibition Force decided to send the "Ruler" to fix the BUG, prevent him from obtaining the Holy Grail, and prevent him from reaching the "Root of Trouble".

Of course, there are two restraining forces, one is "Gaia" responsible for protecting the earth, and the other is "Alaya" responsible for protecting mankind.

From this point of view, the restraining force that sent out the "Ruler" class was 100% the latter "Alaya", because Shen Yuan posed no threat to the Earth itself, and it was impossible for "Gaia" to judge Shen Yuan as an enemy.

On the contrary, it is very likely that "Alaya" will judge Shen Yuan's fate, the Soul-Eating Night and other forces as enemies whose "behaviors are sufficient to threaten the survival of mankind or the world."

Such individuals must be eliminated, but since "Alaya" is the restraining force that protects humans, the method of eliminating Shen Yuan must be accomplished by humans.

If "Gaia" takes action, the situation will not be like this. Instead, a natural disaster will occur, destroying the individual and the surrounding things. In ancient times, a supercontinent with highly developed civilization sank because of this.

Those who are affected by the restraining power of "Alaya", such as "contracted heroic spirits and guardians", who resolve human crises, were called heroes and saviors in ancient times. The savior sent by "Alaya" this time is the judge class "Ruler".

"Unbelievable! The legendary mediator actually appeared in this Holy Grail War!!"

Father Li Zheng was extremely shocked. He even became a little excited: "I never thought that at over eighty years old, I could actually witness history, no, witness the birth of a miracle!"

In the records of the Cathedral Church.

The Holy Grail will use its own logic to summon a Servant to serve as the Judge (Ruler) of the Holy Grail War.

They will not take sides with any faction and will act to protect the very concept of the "Holy Grail War."

Therefore, Ruler cannot be summoned during an ordinary Holy Grail War. However, when the form of a Holy Grail War is very special and the outcome is completely unpredictable, and the Holy Grail, as the core of the ritual, determines that the ritual requires the intervention of a Servant that cannot be reached by humans, Ruler will be summoned.

For example, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, a "cheat" appeared, and he was the Avenger, who symbolized the evil of this world. He was like a time traveler who invaded this world, and the world itself produced a "rejection" reaction because his power did not belong to this "worldview" but was obtained from other "worldviews".

After all, abilities like "destiny" and powers like "origin magic" are said not to be used indiscriminately, otherwise they will cause great trouble.

But Shen Yuan couldn't help but use these powers in the end, so that the Holy Grail War that was originally running normally suddenly became unstable.

"So, this time, the Ruler is..."

Father Li Zheng opened his eyes wide and looked towards the church's outer hall. He hurried into the hall, only to find that the summoned Ruler was looking at the statue of God with a pious look on his face, muttering something as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

This time, Ruler is a girl!

Father Risei looked ahead excitedly. A petite young girl, wearing a navy blue skirt and silver-white knight armor similar to Altria's, and carrying a holy white flag, appeared in the church. Her long golden hair was tied into a braid that fell to her shoulders.

Because she is a judge summoned by the Holy Grail, she has no Master.

But even so, due to the special nature of the Ruler job, and the fact that only heroes without wishes before death are eligible to become Ruler, Ruler will retain the memory of participating in the Holy Grail War.

And her true identity is the famous saint in history - Joan of Arc!

Put rules first and wield the sword to protect them!

As a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail War itself, it is their duty to properly manage the Holy Grail War.

Unlike other Servants who want to protect their Masters, Jeanne wants to protect the Holy Grail War.

In other words, she is the guardian of the "Restraint", appearing in the world as a Servant who wants to protect the framework of the Holy Grail War!

"Servant, Ruler, I have obeyed the call of the Holy Grail... Lord, I place my body at your disposal—after despair, hope will surely come!!"

The Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus, Jeanne d'Arc, held the holy flag in one hand, emitting a sacred flame. As a saint, she was born with a power that ordinary Servants could not match.

Not only does he possess the ability to recognize the other party's identity at a glance, such as "True Name Recognition", but he also has the right to use two-stroke Command Seals on all participating Servants, such as "Divine Judgment". This is the highest privilege of the Ruler, that is, the power to force other Servants to obey!

As well as many other privileges such as "Breath Concealment", "Breath Search", "Know Survival", etc. To put it bluntly, if Shen Yuan is a cheater, then Ruler is a power-hungry dog (you think you are the only one who cheats, right? I am officially banned).

Finally, due to her unshakable faith and Ruler's magic resistance bonus, Jeanne can exert a high level of magic resistance, avoiding most magical attacks and becoming almost magic-immune. However, there are some specific magic that cannot be avoided.

"I am Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of the Fourth Holy Grail War. Respected Ruler, no, Lady Saint, it is an honor to meet you as the mediator!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Risei. Please leave the rest to me. Even if they are enemies that are incompatible with each other in their respective eras, the Heroic Spirits who are capable of defeating thousands of enemies with one horse are now fighting for their contractors as Servants, and I will not allow anyone to disrupt this sacred war!"

Jeanne said, a determined glint in her eyes.

"I hope so, Lady Saint!"

Father Risei nodded vigorously. If they could drag Avenger into the water, then the Hero King Gilgamesh's chances of victory would be basically guaranteed, and the Holy Grail would belong to them.

...

An area near Fuyuki City.

In Caster's magic workshop, the dead Ryunosuke Uryu and his heroic spirit were devoured by the souls of the dead in the Soul-Eating Night.

However, the ghost of Caster, also known as Gilles de Ray, lingered. Even after his death, his spirit continued to howl unwillingly, shrill and sharp, like the screams of an evil spirit.

"Joan of Arc! My Joan of Arc!!"

Gilles de Rey's evil spirit screamed like a madman, but he watched helplessly as the Emperor of the Iron-Armored Wraith approached step by step, lifted up the Night Meteorite and absorbed him into it, dragging him to the underworld little by little, and completely disappearing from this world.

“Fear is confusion, pain is clarity.”

Shen Yuan looked expressionlessly at Gilles de Rey, who was screaming like a madman. Having transformed into an evil spirit, he no longer had the strength to resist him.

This was just a dying struggle. Countless undead arms stretched out from the vortex, dragging Gilles de Ray's soul and pulling him into the undead swamp little by little.

"My holy virgin, Joan of Arc!"

Suddenly, Gilles de Ray seemed to sense something, and before he was finally dragged into the underworld, he screamed hysterically. Even though his throat was broken, he still shouted a name madly and distortedly.

"Is it because of my obsession that you finally came? Saint—ah!"

In a trance, Gilles de Rais seemed to see the glory of the saint.

It was a scene he would never forget in his life, a memory he would never let go of even if he fell into hell.

Until the next moment, a hammer fell from the sky and hit him on the head, knocking him directly into the underworld. Shen Yuan slowly raised his hand and held Ye Yun's hand, as if he was absolutely convinced that Gilles de Rey was too noisy.

"This guy is really too twisted."

Shen Yuan shook his head just as he was about to leave.

It seemed as if a wisp of Joan of Arc's spirit had indeed descended here through the Throne of Heroes.
