After understanding this will, Archer lowered his head first, and then made a declaration in a calm tone.

Scathach is more straightforward.

"It's nice to enjoy a rare defeat from time to time. I'll continue to look forward to the next opportunity, which will be different from this time... a real fight."

After smiling brightly at Roland, she glanced at the dark vortex that had disappeared without a trace. As if she was not worried about her Master at all, her violet-like figure disappeared into the night.

Two of her companions suddenly disappeared, and Saber, who was in a one-on-one situation with Roland, felt the tense atmosphere again.

Even the Knight King would find it difficult to remain calm in the face of the record of easily crushing the three best Knight classes in the Holy Grail War.

But Roland just glanced at her and smiled.

"Remember to pick up your Master afterwards and comfort her. Also, enjoy the few moments of modern life you have. They may be more precious than you expected."

With these leisurely words, Roland left without looking back.

After being liberated from the series of battles, Saber finally relaxed a little, breathing in the incoming air deeply, but the confident smile she had before the battle was gone.

Saber felt as if she had returned to the moment of her life-and-death battle with Haku, that feeling that she could not win no matter how hard she tried.

But back then, she carried more things and possessed more power, but what about now?

Archer, Lancer, and the remaining unknown servants, what should she do in the upcoming battle?

There is also Roland who calls himself the Master of Caster. Even if he really makes it to the end by chance, it will be meaningless as long as he cannot defeat her.

"strength……"

-

"It really caused quite a stir. The scale of this time is a bit scary. Well, it's only natural."

The cute and lovely purple-haired girl sat on the top of the skyscraper, letting her clothes blow in the wind, and curiously looked at the distant place as small as a sesame seed.

That kind of exciting magical reaction was rare in her memory.

"It's only natural for a filthy fellow like you to be afraid of the light. Now that you know what fear is, you should put yourself in the right place."

From behind Francesca came an unceremonious laugh.

"You are my Servant, right? How about being a little gentler towards your Master?"

"I don't mind showing a little tolerance for the glory of mankind, but for the monster in human skin, I didn't kill this disgusting guy immediately. This is because it is not my era and it is not my responsibility. You have barely made a tiny contribution. Don't waste this gift."

"Yes, yes, King of Kings, I will keep it in mind."

As if she hadn't noticed the deep and terrifying murderous aura of the figure behind her, Francesca shrugged her shoulders and responded obediently without even turning her head.

"Humph," the man known as the king of kings snorted at this perfunctory attitude, "How are the preparations for the spirit vein going?"

"It will be done in no time. After all, we are borrowing other people's relics and spiritual veins. We don't have to worry about the aftermath. It will be done very quickly."

"Really? It seems that these thieves are not completely useless." The man lowered his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the traces in the sky that had not disappeared, his eyes burning.

"I sense the taste of fate. That is why I must prepare in order to show the glory of the sun."

Among the many servants summoned by the Holy Grail, many of their treasures require certain prerequisites before they can show their true value.

Although his restrictions in this regard were not strong, after sensing the opponent's power, even as the King of the Sun, he did not dare to be careless. In order to show the full strength of his Noble Phantasm, he did not mind tolerating this disgusting Master in front of him for a while.

"You won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to it, too. The moment it rises, a collision of this intensity is rare in the history of the Holy Grail War."

"That's just because you haven't seen the true glory." The Sun King smiled contemptuously, as if he didn't care about anything in the world. "I'm a little worried that the stage this time is too small. However, since you are not meddling in other people's business, I will give you a piece of advice."

"When my treasure rises, just hide in a dark corner and look up. If it is only this level, you can still barely save your life because of your efforts. Otherwise, you will only struggle in despair, a person without light."

After saying this, he left in a proud and heroic manner, as if it was a great blessing for him to be able to talk to Francesca.

Even though Francesca thought she had a very good temper, her face turned livid in front of such an arrogant and aggressive servant.

But remembering the warning given by the man with nine rings who called himself King Solomon, Francesca resisted the urge to turn around and conjure up a flower field on his arm for this guy.

It’s not the right time yet, just be patient for a while.

Although there was nothing worth observing at the end of the night, Francesca still stayed there and waited.

If the other party is not lying, then it's about time.

A chance to escape this unsolvable ritual and gain a new life from the killing spree between the beast and the Root Princess.

“Ah,” Francesca suddenly stood up excitedly, as if she had seen something. The corners of her mouth gradually widened and she laughed out loud, “I’ve finally waited for you, my dear…Goddess of Beasts.”

-

Roland sat up straight and looked at Solomon who was also sitting upright.

Although he didn't know whether his attitude was serious from the beginning, or whether he was just feeling guilty because they bought the strawberry cake together, but they finished it all when Roland went out for a walk, leaving only the chestnut cake that came with it.

"Let's put other things aside. With such a big commotion today, the information of the servants should have been exposed. I want to hear what Solomon's wisdom can say."

Sitting in the hotel, Solomon watched the battlefield that was like a missile washing the ground alone without hesitation. He opened his hands slightly, and the magic thread weaved out exquisite light and shadow, reflecting a portrait.

"Archer Karna has appeared in one of his best classes, and his master is still the princess. He is the most difficult of all the enemies. In addition to the lightning spear behind his armor, there is also the dangerous snake hidden under his sun bow."

"Lancer, the queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, borrowed the spiritual power of a servant. Although her destructive power is not that high in a one-on-one situation, she is no less dangerous than anyone else. If you fight her, you must not let her open the door to the Kingdom of the Dead."

"And Rider, the dormant king of Egypt, will be a troublesome figure when the temple rises. However, this kind of pure violence is much easier for us to deal with."

Solomon's fingers moved across the light and shadows, stopping on the girl with green eyes.

"Saber, the Knight King with the scabbard, can be said to be invincible, but without understanding the will of the holy sword, she is the least threatening."

"Finally, it's me as a caster."

Solomon said seriously, "As for the remaining two, I don't have much hope. They are both out-of-sequence characters. Through revelation, I already know that one of them is a ruler who descended as a regular Servant. Judging from his aura, he must be a saint of modern times."

"Hmm... each class is getting stronger than the last. The future of this city is worrying."

Hearing this, Roland raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I think you should have been able to monitor the ley lines to get the direction of the Holy Grail."

"Because I am involved in a lot of things now, and I have been feeling a sense of déjà vu these past few days, I'd better be cautious. With the three Command Seals I have as the source, and your Ten Commandments that can break almost all magic, it should be easy for you to obtain some of the authority of the Holy Grail."

When talking about this matter, Solomon was also a little helpless.

Roland was good in every way except that he was too cautious. Even when Solomon had exhausted all his wisdom and could not see the possibility of losing, he still asked him to connect to the Holy Grail and obtain the authority so that he could use his clairvoyance to browse the possibilities of the future.

Obviously, it would not be difficult to end the Holy Grail War overnight if the other party was willing.

When Solomon received this order, he had already labeled Roland as a master who was extremely powerful but overly cautious.

But as a tool, he didn't even raise any questions. While eating strawberry cake, he cracked some of the permissions of the Holy Grail.

Unexpectedly, Roland actually guessed it right.

"Although I have doubted your judgment before, and I am not going to change my assessment that this action is useless, but from an objective point of view, this action is very successful."

Solomon's expression turned serious. "During the previous battle, the seventh Servant descended in a very covert way. I'm afraid even the great heroes didn't notice it."

"is it?"

Roland nodded noncommittally, motioning for Solomon to continue.

“But through the perspective of the Holy Grail, I can clearly see that the rich divine energy erupting from the earth veins is indeed as you expected.”

"——Another god has appeared in the world through possession."

Chapter 254 Goddess of Love

As the largest city Kallen had ever seen, Tokyo had a bustle that matched its status, and the difference between night and day could not overshadow it. But when she arrived at the church where she was staying and saw the hurried footsteps of the clergy, even the somewhat naive Jeanne realized that something was wrong.

The same news would have completely different impacts in different cities. A gas explosion would subtly change the peaceful atmosphere in Fuyuki City. Schools would be dismissed early and a curfew would be issued in the city.

But in Tokyo, this could at most be considered an accident that no one except the person involved could even express a sigh of regret.

It didn't take Kallen much effort to read the news.

——Shinjuku gas explosion.

Last night, the natural gas sleeping underground was ignited for some reason, causing the surrounding area for several kilometers to be blown up. Now, an evacuation notice has been issued in Shinjuku, and only a few residents are still living there.

It is said that the flames last night had burned to the sky. Many residents saw the strange sight of day and night reversing, and some people swore that the sky had turned blood red.

But when the police force from next door was mobilized and the fully armed team arrived at the severely damaged scene, they did not see any remaining fire. However, this question was still hastily brushed aside by the host.

With the scene being strictly cordoned off, even if there were some curious people, they would not be able to collect evidence that the police themselves could not find. Now that the police have made the announcement, the matter has been completely concluded, and the only value left is to serve as a topic of conversation.

"This is the Holy Grail War..."

Karin muttered to herself as she looked at the news photo, which could not be replicated even with a bomb weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms. It looked more like a huge crater caused by a missile attack than a gas explosion.

"This is only the first night. Judging from the scale of the disaster, it is already similar to the decisive battle in Fuyuki City as recorded in the records."

Kallen subconsciously pressed the back of her hand, thinking of the Command Seal wrapped in the Holy Shroud, and sighed softly.

"Master, I will protect you."

As if sensing Kallen's emotions, a gentle female voice sounded beside Kallen.

The girl with golden pigtails was wearing a uniform like a high school student. She was also staring at the crater, but her expression was a little dull.

"This is the result of just the first battle. If we don't quickly find out the anomaly behind this Holy Grail War, this city will surely be destroyed."

"ruler..."

Kallen turned her head, looked at Jeanne's heroic face, and nodded thoughtfully.

After a few days of tutoring, she also learned what kind of rank this was.

Only when the situation is not normal and the world may be distorted, will these selfless saints fall into the vortex of desire.

As a class outside the seat, Jeanne's existence is enough for Kallen to understand the seriousness of the problem: the unscrupulous Heroic Spirits, the huge Tokyo, and the Holy Grail that had been destroyed but suddenly appeared.

No matter how you look at it, it has an ominous atmosphere, and the fact is just as Joan of Arc worried, the first night was so exaggerated that the staff of the Cathedral Church were busy trying to reduce the impact of this incident.

However, although this kind of movement was covered up on the surface, for those who knew the magic way, this movement was as conspicuous as a light in the dark night. Afterwards, there would definitely be all kinds of forces coming here to spy, and their existence would only make the situation fall hopelessly into chaos.

However, faced with such an imminent crisis, Kallen remained calm and even felt like laughing.

When she learned that Roland, the biggest anomaly, had also joined the Holy Grail War, it was difficult for Kallen to feel nervous about this crisis. Kallen, who had been deeply connected with Roland many times, was very clear about the horror hidden in that body.

Compared to the destruction of the world, even if this city was completely destroyed, it would only be an insignificant trace in history... That can't be said, after all, this could also be the beginning of the Apocalypse.

"Master, have you thought of anything?"

Because the emotions in Kallen's eyes were too strong, Jeanne withdrew her gaze from the TV and looked at her Master in confusion.

"I was just wondering why the legendary Saint would be summoned by a being like me."

Kallen shook her head without blinking and quickly asked the question she had just thought of to divert Jeanne's attention.

"Saint or something... I am just an ordinary girl. Without the Lord's revelation, I am no different from other believers. Besides, our natures are very similar."

The gentle and humble tone made it impossible for Karen to connect her with the girl in history who joined the army to save her country. Because of human desires, she had such a tragic ending, but there was not even a trace of resentment on her face.

Such a pure and pious gesture made Kallen feel genuinely unhappy.

However, Joan of Arc's words still aroused a little interest in her. Was it because of her nature that she was able to summon this ruler, not because of her identity as a nun or a believer?

"Although you appear to be consistent, let me ask you first, are you really a holy virgin?"

"Woo!"

Joan of Arc's face was instantly filled with a fiery red, and she let out a scream as if she had been electrocuted, her face full of shame and panic.

"This, this, this... this is so rude!"

She suddenly glanced to the side, looking vigilantly in case any suspicious person passed by and accidentally overheard the conversation.

Although she had experienced it once before, it was hard for Joan of Arc, who was very gentle, to accept such a thing being loudly announced in public.

"It's a very understandable reaction, so the authenticity of this matter should be no problem," Karen held her chin in her hand, thinking. "So, have you ever used it?"

"Hey, what did you use?"

Kallen's reaction was so calm that Jeanne subconsciously fell into her rhythm and responded stupidly.

"That's it, auxiliary props, such as a wooden stick, or..."

As if afraid that Jeanne didn't understand, Kallen made a ring with one hand and moved her index finger back and forth in it.

"Ahhhh!"

This hint plus the knowledge granted by the Holy Grail made Jeanne understand everything immediately. She shook her head violently and screamed to stop Kallen from saying anything else. Her long pigtails swung behind her as if she wanted to throw away all the strange knowledge.
