My mother's love song

I will let that madman die in endless despair!"

Chapter 390 The Dark Side Appears

Earlier, the war over the ownership of the Greater Holy Grail was coming to an end.

The unprecedented and unparalleled treasure created by Semiramis, [Hanging Gardens of Vanity], has overwhelming power in siege warfare.

Whether it's attacking the castle's barriers and walls, or providing fire support to friendly forces from the air.

Under the fierce attack of the Red Team, the Holy Grail was stripped from the earth veins of Tulifas and stored in the floating fortress.

However, Eugene Domirenia obviously did not give up the ownership of the Holy Grail so easily, and the battlefield moved from the castle to the inside of the garden.

At this time, Ruler Jeanne finally arrived and joined the chaos.

“Here… eh!?”

Joan of Arc looked in disbelief at the young man in red who appeared before her.

He has brown skin, almost silver hair, and wears a red sash and cape over his priestly attire.

She stared at Father Shirou with her mouth half open: "You are!?"

"Ah, the result was exposed in advance."

The young priest touched the back of his head in frustration.

"How... could it be like this?"

She couldn't help but take a breath and told the information she got from the Greater Holy Grail.

"During the Third Holy Grail War, the Ruler of the Einzbern family, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. Why are you here!?"

"Eh? Ruler... Are you saying that he is the sixteenth... Servant!?"

Even Chiron, who was usually calm and composed, could not hide his inner astonishment, and the same was true for the people on the red team who were fighting with him.

"I'm not the sixteenth, Chiron. The sixteenth should be the Ruler standing next to you. Strictly speaking, I should be the first Servant."

"Master Assassin...what did you do to our Master!?"

Facing Achilles's excited questioning, the boy chuckled, then raised one hand and pulled up his sleeves.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw his hand.

The entire arm is covered with Command Seals, with as many as 18 of them, filled with magnificent magical power.

"I have asked them to give up their Master rights and the Three-drawn Command Seals in a peaceful manner. You do not need to worry. The magic power you need to maintain the present world is a trivial problem now that we are connected to the Greater Holy Grail.

"A peaceful way?"

After hearing one of the questions, the boy nodded, glanced at Karna and said:

"Besides, Red Lancer is the hero who is best at seeing through other people's lies. Therefore, I must try not to lie and push the situation in the direction that suits our intentions.

This is why I convey my orders through the Masters. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, the Masters give you orders according to my instructions, and it is the same now. "

Jeanne said, "Is that so? So what I was alerted to, what God warned me about, was your existence."

"That's hard to say. I never thought of going against God's will."

There was no hatred in the boy's voice, but there was a firm will in it.

Persuasion was impossible. The girl was convinced that the boy would not stop until he was killed.

Ruler stared at the boy silently and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"Needless to say? It's for the sake of obtaining the Holy Grail and achieving salvation for all mankind, Joan of Arc."

"Please stop joking...Fuyuki's Greater Holy Grail is not the Holy Grail that believers know. You should be very clear about this."

Jeanne asked Amakusa as if she would not allow the other party to tell her a lie.

Someone couldn't bear to listen to their conversation anymore, so Achilles took action and pointed his gun straight at Amakusa's throat.

However, his attack was blocked by Assassin who appeared from the void.

Semiramis blocked the tip of the hero's spear with just her left hand, and a piece of black fish-scale armor unfolded on her arm.

Although Achilles' spear easily shattered the armor, that was all he could do.

"Hmm, the scales of the divine fish were also pierced as expected. As expected of Achilles, he is indeed the son of God."

The Assyrian queen frowned and rubbed her bloody arm with her hand.

"Hmph. If I really wanted to kill you, I would probably pierce your scales, arms, and face."

“Probably. But Rider, what you did just now was an act of suicide. Because your current Master is me.”

After listening to Amakusa's speech, Achilles just shrugged his shoulders casually.

"I have never agreed to change my Master. Even if I have never met him, I cannot betray him."

"This is probably just a difference of opinion. You haven't betrayed me. Your Master is still alive, and you can still fight for him to the end."

Achilles smacked his lips, then fell silent.

After the commotion ended, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada turned back to Jeanne and said:

"The next step is our request. This Holy Grail War can be said to have already been decided. There are only three black Servants left besides Caster."

"Luo... Caster will not tolerate your behavior, and I can guarantee that you will never be able to defeat him."

"Hmph, you're so bold, Ruler. Do you really trust that man who can only use despicable tricks? Is the vision of the Saint only this good?"

Semiramis showed a disdainful expression, but Jeanne was speechless at the moment.

What are you acting like to me? Haven't you already had sex with my brother... that... thing?

And she clamped Rod's waist with her legs, not allowing him to be outside... Gurgling!

On the other hand, facing Jeanne's confident statement, Amakusa's expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy.

In fact, Rhodes, whose behavior was erratic and whose strength was a complete mystery, was even more threatening to him than Ruler.

He racked his brains to think of only one possible weakness of Caster.

Amakusa stole a glance at his Servant, Semiramis, who was standing beside him.

“…What on earth am I thinking about?”

He shook his head, feeling ashamed of his thoughts.

Chiron, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Considering the current situation, Ruler should be seen as standing with us, and the Red Servant does not seem to be united. In this case, this situation is not too disadvantageous for us, right?"

What he said was by no means bragging, he did have his own basis for it.

Compared with the confrontation with the hostile forces, their distrust of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada seems even stronger now.

"I see. So, what do you think, Black Rider?"

Amakusa looked towards Avisbronn in the corner.

"… Well, for me, I really don't understand why you just want to snatch the Holy Grail instead of directly annihilating the attack of the black forces?

As Ruler's trump card, the Command Spell in her hand has no effect on you.

Let’s not talk about Archer and Ruler. If I’m attacked by you, I will definitely be annihilated quickly. So I’m wondering… are you going to propose some kind of exchange to us?”

Joan of Arc and Achilles immediately became alert to his crucial remarks.

“Rider…!?”

However, the man wearing a mask and covered in blue attire remained unmoved and just faced Amakusa straight ahead.

"Indeed, Avisbronn. Personally, I would like you to surrender."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada casually revealed the real name of Black Rider.

As a Ruler, although he did not have the Command Spells to command all the Servants participating in the Holy Grail War, he still had the ability of [True Name Seer], so he already knew the true names of all the Servants present.

"But then, if you don't kill me, the Holy Grail won't be able to activate? Are there enough Servants that need to be annihilated?"

"It's all right. I understand the Greater Holy Grail better than anyone else. You don't have to worry at all. My wish and your wish will be fulfilled without any conflict. Of course, the premise is that the content of your wish is as I guessed."

"I have a condition."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"It's no problem to treat you as a Master, but can you let me handle my former Master, Roger Freyne Yugdomrenia?"

"what do you mean?"

"That means don't hurt him."

I see. Amakusa nodded expressionlessly.

Semiramis smiled happily and said, "Oh, you are such a loyal Servant. Are you willing to use yourself as a bargaining chip to ensure your master's safety?"

Black Rider has always faithfully performed his duties, which is to create golems. But on the other hand, he has never been interested in anything else.

Whether it is the outcome of the war or whether the Holy Grail can be obtained...so, such an outcome can actually be predicted in advance.

“Rider, are you…”

Chiron's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze him. Achilles saw it and knew very well that it was proof that he was angry.

"Then please hold out your hand."

"I was wearing gloves. How rude."

Avisbronn stretched out his right hand without hesitation, Amakusa held his hand and began to recite the oath of the contract.

“Stop it now, Rider…!”

In order to stop him, Chiron suddenly shot an arrow, but Semiramis used a little magic and a beam of light accurately hit the flying arrow away. The arrow that pierced the roof exploded with a deafening sound in the distance.

Even though the chant was less than one section long, this was after all the interior of the Vainglory Sky Courtyard, and all the magic performed here was great magic, and the Assyrian Queen had the power to easily suppress the three knight classes.

Semiramis frowned and complained:

"Don't damage my garden, Black Archer. You can't destroy it with your strength. You're just wasting your efforts."

"I acknowledge you as my Master, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada-sama."

Without hesitation, he abandoned the contract with Roger Freyne Yugdomrenia and became the Servant of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

"Without further delay, I will immediately order you to surround them."

"Understood, my master."

Avisbronn remained calm and composed, and just gently moved the fingers of his right hand.

In an instant, several golems rushed over from the end of the road.

Those were golems carefully selected and crafted by Black Rider.

The golems made of bronze, iron and earth moved with incredible agility to surround the two from above, left, right and behind.

Because there were many Red Servants gathered in front of them, Chiron and Jeanne could be said to have become caged birds.

"To be honest with you, although this method is really despicable and it is not my original intention, Ruler, you are a huge obstacle. Therefore, I must eliminate you and Black Archer here."

In response to Amakusa's cold declaration, Black Rider snapped his fingers, and the golems suddenly launched an attack.

"!!"

Chiron drew his bow and arrow, while Joan of Arc waved the holy flag to attack the golem.

Although the two would not be at a disadvantage against the golem, the golem directly controlled by Avisbron showed agility and accuracy comparable to that of a first-class Servant.

Amakusa looked at Achilles, "If possible, I would like you to join the battle Rider, what are you going to do?"

“…If you want me to fight, use the Command Seal!”

Achilles glared at Amakusa with contempt: "But, Father, I'm afraid your wish will not come true."

At this time, several golden rays of light shot in.

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked by this unexpected ambush.

The girl rushed in with a gust of wind, and continuously shot out sword treasures from all over her body, turning several golems into dust in an instant.

"…Are you here, Red Saber?"
