How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

Even though Frankenstein expended a great deal of magic to withstand the barrage of arrows, the Black faction's army, composed of androids and stone golems, had already suffered heavy casualties.

After the rain of arrows disappeared, Yudu watched as Achilles drove his chariot through the air, leaving a trail of emerald green before vanishing in the blink of an eye and crashing to the ground like a meteor.

Once aboard his chariot, Achilles, leveraging his Rider class advantage, became unstoppable, swiftly and brutally weaving through the Black army.

Just as Yudo had found a safe spot on the edge of the battlefield with Leticia, he witnessed this scene.

"This is... the Holy Grail War?"

Looking at the brutal battlefield before her, which had become a meat grinder after the arrival of the Servants, Leticia's voice became hoarse, as if she were the first words spoken by someone who had been in a coma for many years.

The battles between Servants she had seen before could at best be classified as ordinary Holy Grail Wars. The Holy Grail War was different from a normal Holy Grail War, and even required a Servant as a referee to supervise it, so it naturally had its special features.

Now, this scene perfectly illustrates to Leticia where the great battle in the Holy Grail War truly takes place.

This is no longer a small-scale battle between a few Masters and Servants, but a war that will involve numerous Servants and Masters, and countless lives.

In such a battlefield, if there is no person of sufficient authority to supervise, both sides would probably resort to any means necessary.

Things like directly conscripting ordinary people as a supplement to the army, letting the flames of war spread to the surrounding towns, assassinating the referees in charge of supervision... Oh, it seems that the Red Team has already done that.

Leticia suddenly remembered when the Red Team's Lancer, Karna, attacked Yuuto.

But this makes her guess seem even more correct.

They even dared to attack the Servants personally invited by the Greater Grail to act as referees. If a human were to act as the referee, they would probably become even more unscrupulous.

In the Sky Garden, sitting on the lowest step of the throne that Semiramis had forged for herself, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada also learned of Yutari's arrival through revelation.

However, Yutari chose a good location, with almost nothing around to identify him, so although Amakusa Shiro Tokisada knew he was near the battlefield, he did not know his exact location.

However, compared to the specific location of the crossing, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was actually still thinking about the revelation he received in his dream at noon.

A three-headed white dragon, Ruler, medieval streets, a little girl who appears to be a Servant...

If we take the literal meaning of the revelation as it appears, then it should be a prediction of the future.

Since almost all of the Red Team's Servants have already appeared, the little girl who appears to be a Servant is most likely a Servant from the Black Team.

Black... that Assassin?

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada remembered the serial murder case that the Magic Association had asked him about yesterday.

When Karna failed to assassinate Ruler before, he also mentioned that the latter could summon a white dragon, but the white dragon he mentioned at that time did not have three heads... Was he hiding his strength?

Does the revelation mean that the little girl-like Servant requires Ruler to use all his strength to deal with her?

Chapter 150 The Rebellious Knight even defies the laws of physics!

"Come! You barbarians who have trampled my land! It is time for punishment!"

Under the bright moonlight, the cold night wind swept across the grassland, and the increasingly strong smell of blood added a touch of grimness to the land.

Vlad III, the Black faction's Lancer, stood on a hillside riding an armored horse, looking down at a gray ocean of dragon-tooth soldiers slowly flowing toward him.

His voice was serious and deep, and just hearing it would involuntarily conjure up the image of a rigid, middle-aged nobleman in one's mind.

"Compassion and anger will become scorching stakes that will pierce you, and the number of these stakes is endless. Despair over this and try to moisten your throat with your own blood!"

"Kazikli Bey, the King of Extreme Punishment!"

Bang!

The surrounding environment turned completely blood red in an instant, followed by a series of explosions among the Dragon Fang soldiers.

Countless black, sharp stakes sprouted from the ground like rapidly growing bamboo, piercing the bodies of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers one after another from bottom to top, suspending them all in mid-air.

The massive army of Dragon Fang soldiers was wiped out in an instant.

Vlad III ignored the Dragon Tooth soldiers who were being used as cannon fodder and looked up at a figure standing on a stake he had summoned in the distance.

"come yet?"

"You must be Vlad III, the Lancer of the Black Faction?"

Karna stood firmly on the stake, facing Vlad III, who was riding on the hillside and looked more like a Rider than Astolfo, who was actually a Rider.

If Yuto were present at this moment, he would definitely find his question very familiar.

After all, when he was attacked, Karna's first words were in the same format.

While Lancer and his counterparts Lancer were locked in a fierce battle, Chiron, following the pre-battle plan, approached his disciple Achilles, and the two engaged in a unique teaching session in the cedar forest.

Siegfried was chasing Atalanta, and the arrows that hit him didn't even leave a scratch, so Atalanta never dared to stop running.

Frankenstein on the ground was still using her massive electrical discharge ability to clear out the Dragon Tooth soldiers. Her ferocious appearance when she attacked with gritted teeth even made the mindless Dragon Tooth soldiers subconsciously take a step back.

Astolfo attempted to attack Semiramis's Sky Garden directly from above, but was entangled by a large number of flying dragon tooth soldiers.

"Hmm...this can't go on...that's it!"

After smashing another flying dragon tooth soldier with his lance, Astolfo sat on the back of his eagle and thought for a moment. Then, as if he had thought of something, he took a black horn from his waist.

"This is exactly the kind of thing we should use!"

Although there was no one else around, and the only person who could possibly see him was Semiramis, the Red Assassin, Astolfo still made a gesture as if he were showing someone the horn in his hand.

"Clang! The Flute of Panic (La Black Luna) is here!"

The horn, now freed from its true name, dissipated from Astolfo's hand into pure magical particles, which then re-formed around his body into a large horn large enough to surround him.

"Xinei!"

There was no need to say anything more. Astolfo took a deep breath and blew hard into the mouthpiece.

Pfft—!

The sound almost materialized in that instant; the pale blue sound waves, under the effect of the Noble Phantasm, completely transformed into a spherical barrier that enveloped Astolfo, and then rapidly expanded outwards as he played.

Every flying dragon tooth soldier that came into contact with the spherical barrier formed by this sound wave was instantly reduced to dust. In a single instant, he eliminated all obstacles that were preventing him from reaching the Sky Garden.

"Alright! Charge straight ahead, Eagle!"

Having finished using his Noble Phantasm, it transformed back into the small black horn hanging at his waist. Finally free from that frustrating situation, Astolfo couldn't wait to speak to Junying.

"set off!"

……

"Oh no! We're way too late, Master!"

A car with its high beams on sped from the edge of the battlefield toward the center.

Mordred, who was driving the car, looked at the wreckage of stone golems and weapons along the way, and pressed the accelerator so hard that it was almost embedded in the chassis.

She regrets it now.

I should have taken the plane like Ruler and the others instead of listening to Shizi Jieli's nonsense and missing the war even after a day's drive.

Honestly, arriving late to the battlefield is just too embarrassing!

"Even just by looking, you know that kind of thing, right? Compared to this—"

Inside the bumpy car, Shiki Jie Li gripped the top door handle tightly with both hands, gritting his teeth and nervously confirming with Mordred again.

"Are you sure you really have riding skills?! I feel like you're driving this car faster and faster?"

"Just relax, Master!" Not even bothering to give him a comforting look, Mordred gripped the steering wheel with both hands as if he were holding a horse's reins, a confident smile on his face.

"Once you mount and hold the reins, there's no horse I can't tame! Don't underestimate the Knights of the Round Table, oh my!"

Mordred jerked the steering wheel sharply, causing the car to spin and avoid the remains of two stone golems. Then, she forcefully tilted the car to one side and used a blade overtake maneuver to pass between the two stone golem remains.

At the edge of the battlefield, Yudu watched Mordred drive that car and give him a real-life version of the Cyclone Charge Tornado, and couldn't help but marvel.

The title of "Rebellious Knight" is quite a blessing for her, as she even defies the laws of physics...

“Um…Mr. Yudo…”

Beside Yudu, Leticia pointed with a strange expression at Siegfried, who had been chasing Atalanta all the way from the center of the battlefield to its outskirts.

"Are they about to collide with that car?"

"Ok?"

Following the direction she pointed, Yudou spent some time mentally estimating the speed and route of the two, and then affirmed Leticia's judgment in an unquestionable tone.

“You’re right, and they’ll not only bump into each other, they might even fight.”

Leticia, who had already withdrawn her hand, glanced at Mordred and Siegfried, who had been fighting for a while, and then looked back at Yuuto, who looked confident beside her.

Leticia: "..."

Yu Du: "..."

Why are you looking at him?

Just tell me whether they fought or not!

Chapter 151 A swordsman must fight another swordsman!

This will probably be the first and last time I let Mordred drive.

As he watched Mordred notice Siegfried chasing Atalanta and reveal a wild, excited smile, like a predator spotting its prey, before swerving and crashing into them, Shiki-kai thought to himself.

Lion's Robbery Jie Li: "Ughh ...

Mordred: "Yahoo—!"

Boom!

With his powerful physique and the Balmonk in his hand, Siegfried forcibly stopped the steel beast that was charging toward him amidst screams and cheers.

Even as the high beams shone on her, Atalanta had already spotted Mordred and Shiki-Kai-ri inside the car thanks to her excellent eyesight.

The two women, a delinquent girl and a yakuza uncle, immediately matched her with the image of the Master and Servant of the Saber group that the priest had described as acting alone.

Were they called here for backup by that priest?

Although her excellent speed made it difficult for Siegfried to catch up with her for a while, her arrows were also of no help to Siegfried, who was bathed in dragon blood.

If Mordred hadn't come to help, their group would probably have been chasing each other until the end of the war. And even though they would all look exhausted and covered in dirt, the damage they had actually caused might not have been as serious as a scratch.

Of course, if Siegfried were to unleash his Noble Phantasm, there's a high chance she'd die right there...

Atalanta breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this, nodded gratefully to Mordred, and then quickly left the place that was about to become a battlefield between the two Sabers.

As a fragile ADC, she shouldn't interfere in a 1v1 between two tanky and high-damage top laners, otherwise she might get vaporized by some unknown AOE attack.

Mordred, who suddenly received a grateful look from his teammate, was like: "???"

A woman who's just a mystery...

Ignoring Atalanta as she left, she knew that Siegfried was a fellow Servant of the Red faction when she saw him being chased by her.

As for her class... judging from the bow she was holding and the fact that she occasionally fired a few arrows at Sieg while being chased, she should be a very traditional Archer.

"Ouch...it's completely dented! Honestly, next time we should find a sturdier car!"

After glancing at the front of the car, which was dented from the collision with Siegfried, Mordred got out and suggested to the lion who had seamlessly taken over the driver's seat, Willow Forest.

"No way! Honestly, the only thing that could withstand your driving is probably a tank, right?"

It took Shiki Jie Li a lot of effort to get himself back into a normal sitting position after moving from the passenger seat. He tried to restart the car, which looked like it was about to die, with a hint of annoyance.

"Anyway, I'm outta here. You guys keep fighting here!"

"What? Aren't you going to stay and witness my valiant exploits?" Mordred stood in front of Siegfried, and although he showed no intention of attacking, she still held out Clarentt warily.

"Don't force me. I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing I can do to help on this kind of battlefield!"

That makes sense... The war between the two sides' Servants is indeed not something that Masters can easily get involved in.

Mordred thought for a moment, then pointed him in the direction of Black Square Castle without turning her head.

"In that case, you should go over there. I think I saw Ruler and the others when I came over. That should be a safer place!"

"Oh!"

As the car's taillights receded into the distance, Siegfried turned his gaze back to Mordred standing before him.

He felt unfamiliar with this youthful-looking blonde girl, but the sword in her hand looked familiar... but only vaguely familiar, since he hadn't even had a chance to fight her last time before the white dragon dissuaded him from the idea.

"The red team's Saber?" Siegfried asked tentatively.

"Hmm? Ah, long time no see, Saber of the Black Faction!" Seeing that he didn't intend to start the fight right away, Mordred simply hoisted Clarentt onto his shoulder and took the opportunity to change into the full set of armor.

Mordred was pleased that her master hadn't launched a sneak attack while she was away, so she didn't mind exchanging a few more words with Siegfried before the fight started.
