Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

Ethan felt a sudden pain in his chest. He lowered his head and looked at the red gun tip sticking out of his left chest.

The blue figure with the gun was standing behind him, and the Kayeborg in his hand actually pierced his chest.

"Eh?"

He hesitated and looked at the girl who had opened a book beside him. His pupils quickly blurred and his body softened and fell to the ground.

Chapter 232: The Hand Sanitizer God of War Remembered His Large Code

"We have to get rid of this thing quickly!"

Do you really want to take action?

Alanna knew that Ethan's judgment was correct. If the black mud was not dealt with quickly and allowed to spread, all innocent people in Red Tomb City would be implicated.

But what should my sister do? If she does that, it means that I can't make a wish to the Holy Grail. How can I remove the curse on my sister?

My sister really can't hold on for much longer...

Is there really no other solution? For example, a method that can solve the problem of the Holy Grail spitting black mud and allow her to make a wish immediately?

Worried about her only relative, the girl hesitated for the first time at Ethan's words.

"You don't need to do what he says. If you want to save your sister, just make a wish to the Holy Grail as the victorious Master!"

Just at the moment she hesitated, this voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

No, that's not right. She really wanted to save her sister, but that didn't mean she had to let all the citizens of Red Tomb City be buried with her just for her sister's life.

If that's the case, what's the difference between me and those dark wizards?

"What are you still hesitating about? Your sister is not his sister. He doesn't care whether your sister lives or dies!"

The voice in my head became impatient:

"Those innocent people have nothing to do with you whether they live or die! If you don't make a wish quickly, there will be no way to save your sister. The opportunity is right in front of you. Do you want to watch your sister die and regret it for the rest of your life?"

This... was not a good idea. It was like the whisper of a devil tempting her to go down a path of no return. She knew the consequences of her willfulness. If she really followed that voice, something irreversible would happen.

So she really made up her mind and decided to help Ethan dismantle the Holy Grail in front of him.

"I'm sorry, sister..." Alanna muttered to herself with red eyes, intending to use the Command Seal to let Xiao Mo release the Noble Phantasm directly to the Holy Grail.

As a servant summoned by the Holy Grail, Xiao Mo cannot actively attack the Holy Grail. He must have a Command Spell as a compulsory order.

However, she did not raise her left hand engraved with the Command Seal, but her right hand holding the book was raised uncontrollably. In her horrified eyes, the book flipped rapidly, and a stream of blue light shot out from the pages, transforming into an illusory human figure holding a gun behind Ethan. The scarlet spear in his hand pierced his left chest directly from behind without any hesitation.

"Eh?"

Voices of surprise came out simultaneously from the three people present.

She didn't know why this happened. She had never thought of hurting Ethan, and she had even made up her mind to take the bullet for him at the critical moment. But what good thing had she done now?

That kind of penetrating wound must be very painful, right? She had to rush over to treat him. As long as she could save him, everything would be fine. Even if he was really angry and hated her from then on, it didn't matter. But her consciousness was no longer able to control her body to make any movements, and she couldn't even make a sound. She could only watch Ethan fall to the ground again.

"Master!"

Xiao Mo smashed the spirit base shadow with a sword, knelt down, tremblingly hugged Ethan, who was lying limp on the ground, and roared at Alanna in anger:

"What are you doing? Why would you do this to the Master? Do you really need that broken cup to fulfill your wish?"

A flash of red light flashed in Alanna's eyes. She did not answer Xiao Mo's question, but instead showed the Command Seal on her left hand again and instructed in a strange tone that did not match her character:

"I order you in the name of the Command Seal, Saber, to protect me and not to do anything to harm me!"

"you!"

Xiao Mo wanted to use her own magic power to resist the command of the command spell, but found that she was already unable to move under the forced effect of the command spell. So she could only watch her body mercilessly throw Ethan in her arms to the ground, and then stiffly returned to Alanna's side.

The book in Alanna's hand slipped out of her palm and floated in the air. The pages of the book bulged into the shape of a strange human face, flew to Ethan's side, looked down at Ethan's bloodless face, and grinned:

"Ethan, Ethan, I didn't expect you to have this day, did you? Do you really think I don't have a backup plan?"

It was Marcus' voice.

"It's you! How could you--" Alana was finally able to control her throat and tongue and asked in a trembling voice:

"How can you attach yourself to this book? And control my movements?"

"Little girl, you are too slow. Why do you think this book records the power of lost spells? Why do you think this book just happened to mention the Holy Grail War?" Marcus, who was in the book state, turned around and looked at Alanna with disdain:

"Of course, because I wrote this book! It was just an unintentional move I made back then, but I didn't expect it to be used in the real world."

"A part of my soul is attached to this book, which is equivalent to my clone. That's why I was able to communicate with your consciousness directly through this book. But I didn't expect that you are young and mentally strong, and you were completely unmoved by my words, so I could only control your actions directly."

Similar to Voldemort's diary, Marcus also set this book as one of his Horcruxes. However, the method of splitting the soul was not to kill people without guilt, but to use the Loss Spell to directly separate a part of his soul. This is why he can remain in the world in the form of a soul without dissipating.

It seemed that he had just exploded his own soul, but in fact what exploded was most of the magic power he had abandoned. His soul turned into an invisible pure soul body and entered the book, merging with the soul fragments here, and by the way repairing some of the damage to his soul.

"Why did you want to kill the Master? Didn't you always want his body? Wouldn't a dead body be useless?"

Xiao Mo wanted to smash the book with a single Noble Phantasm, but he found that he couldn't swing the sword at all. It seemed that the book was also identified as an object to be protected by the Command Seal, so he could only stare at Marcus' face hatefully.

"Do I need to ask why? Of course it's to prevent future troubles! I can't take over his body anymore. Do I have to wait for him to grow up and become an obstacle to me?"

Marcus flew over to Alana and circled around her stiff body, commenting:

"Although his body is unusable, your body is quite compatible with the Lost Spell, so it's not impossible to make do with it. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time in my life that I have tried to occupy a woman's body."

"Don't even think about it!"

A dagger brushed Alana's cheek and stabbed directly into the page of the book. Marcus, who should not have felt the pain, let out a wail, and wisps of green smoke emerged from the pages stained with purple liquid.

The two of them and the book looked at the direction where the dagger came from in disbelief. Ethan, who should have died from a pierced heart, had woken up at some point. He was holding the tip of the gun on his wound and breathing heavily, but there was no panic on his face:

“I knew there was something wrong with that book.”

The red gun that was poking at his chest trembled as his body swayed with his breathing, which looked very funny.

"How did you..." Marcus originally wanted to go all out and take advantage of Ethan's severe injury to quickly regain control of Alana so that he could have bargaining chips in his hands. However, he found that the book that served as the carrier of his consciousness was paralyzed and could not move freely.

"Hydra's venom not only has a paralyzing effect on living things, but can also have a paralyzing effect on conscious objects, for example..."

As Ethan spoke, he directly split the spear in half from behind, pulled the end with the spear tip out of his chest, and threw it aside: "...This book as your Horcrux."

As early as when Alanna was controlled to release the spirit base shadow, he felt something suddenly appeared behind him. Although he did sense that this thing had a very similar reaction to Cu Chulainn in Alanna's hand, but because of his trust in Alanna, Ethan subconsciously did not think that this thing was released by Alanna without looking back at that time, and thought that some old bastard who had been shrinking could not help but attack him.

Although the distance was very close, he was not unable to dodge the impending attack. However, compared to the threat right behind him, he was more worried about the unknown enemy hiding in the dark, and he had to lure this guy out.

So just like the last time in the Forbidden Forest, he once again chose to get injured to show weakness and allowed Gayeborg to pierce his chest.

However, his internal organs had been protected by the magic he had used in Hogsmeade before (thanks again to Master Rosier for the green fireworks), and he did not suffer any damage. The spear only pierced his muscle tissue and went straight through the gap between his internal organs.

I can only say that it's a good thing that Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm is not a permanent release type like Diarmuid's double guns, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use this method of faking death. After all, if the heart is pierced, he really can't save himself with his current means.

The silvery-white ancient magic energy replaced the spear to block the wound and connected the two large blood vessels on both sides of the wound, thus saving him from death due to excessive bleeding.

Then he took out two bottles of invigorating potion and sprinkled them directly on the hole in his chest.

Green smoke came out of the wound and a hissing sound was heard. It healed completely in just a few seconds, leaving only a shallow scar.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm not in the mood to answer them one by one. Go to hell!" Ethan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he pointed his index finger at Marcus:

"Li Huo."

The flame transformed into a poisonous snake and swallowed the book in one gulp. In a few seconds, it was completely burned into a pile of ashes. Under the curse of the fierce fire itself, Marcus' soul that resided in the book was also completely destroyed.

At this point, Marcus had truly and completely disappeared from this world.

Without Marcus's suppression, Alanna was finally able to move her body freely. She walked towards Ethan step by step, trembling, and stretched out her hand.

"Sorry……"

Alanna gently touched the hideous scar on Ethan's chest and sobbed weakly.

In the end, I was the one who caused him the most harm.

"No one blames you. You were controlled at the time. There is no need to blame yourself. You can only blame the enemy for being too cunning." Ethan shook his head gently and said to her with a smile:

"Okay, we can talk later. Let's deal with the current situation first."

The barrier he had set up before was on the verge of collapse, and the surging black mud inside could break through this fragile barrier at any time.

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Alana sniffed and asked with red eyes.

"Use the Command Spell to let Xiao Mo release his treasure to clean up the black mud. During this time, I will try to see if I can purify the dirt in the Holy Grail." Ethan said lightly:

"After all, I don't want to miss the opportunity to make a wish. If I can solve it with a little effort, that would be great."

"Yes!" Alanna nodded heavily and raised her left hand:

"I order you in the name of the Command Seal, Saber, to release your Noble Phantasm to the Holy Grail."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mo swung the sword in his hand:

"Rebellion against my magnificent father!"

click-

The light curtain finally couldn't hold on and shattered, and dirty black mud poured down from mid-air. Before it hit the ground, it was evaporated by the oncoming red lightning.

However, this stalemate could not last long. Xiao Mo still had a physical body, not a purely pseudo-physical body. If she maintained the state of releasing the treasure for a long time, a large amount of magic power would flow through her body. After all, she did not have a red dragon as her heart like her father. If she continued like this, it might cause irreversible permanent damage to her body.

So Ethan must act as soon as possible. Whether he can successfully purify the Holy Grail or be helpless and have to destroy it in tears, he doesn't have much time to waste.

"Take care of yourself, I'll be back soon."

After a brief warning, Ethan jumped up and rushed towards the Holy Grail in the air. The white spherical barrier perfectly separated him from the black mud. Although this black mud should not be as evil as all the evil in the world, which can kill living people, it is better not to touch it.

With a flat jump, Ethan reached an altitude higher than the Holy Grail. He stood firmly on the top of the Holy Grail, squatted down and placed his hand directly on the Holy Grail.

The magic power used for detection flowed directly from Ethan's palm into the Holy Grail through direct contact. After a brief exploration, Ethan found out what Marcus had done to the Holy Grail, and also understood why the Holy Grail could still accumulate magic power even though there was no earth vein here.

When Percival and the others were setting up the trial, didn't they leave behind a ball of ancient magic energy as the energy to drive the trial? The guy who was rubbing the Holy Grail here mistook this ball of ancient magic energy for a geomantic vein.

In other words, the energy source that provides the operation of the Holy Grail is not the magic power in the earth veins, but the energy of the ancient magic that maintains the operation of the trial.

Moreover, even though the energy was extracted, the trial did not cause any problems due to insufficient energy, which was enough to show the vastness of the energy that Percival and his companions left behind.

Of course, Ethan was also confident that he could do no worse than Percival and the others.

In this case, the solution is very simple. Just transfer the pure magic power in your body into the Holy Grail to replace the contaminated magic power stored inside.

To put it in an analogy, it is like pouring out the contaminated water in the cup and washing it, and then pouring a cup of clean water into it.

This way, Alanna can also use the Holy Grail filled with magic to make a wish. It is great to have the best of both worlds.

Taking action after knowing the solution is easier than finding the solution. As Ethan began to transport pure magic power into the Holy Grail, the contaminated magic power in the Holy Grail turned into a large amount of black mud that poured out from the cracks on the surface of the Holy Grail, and was then evaporated by Xiao Mo's treasure.

BOOM!

The two magical powers inside the Holy Grail caused a powerful collision, and the energy contained in the gushing black mud was finally detonated by the treasure. The violent shock wave swept through the entire room. For a moment, a huge amount of dust and rubble were shaken off the dome, blocking everyone's vision.

"Vanished without a trace."

As Alanna chanted, the smoke and dust in the room instantly settled quietly on the ground. The obscured scene suddenly became clear.

The Holy Grail was still suspended in the air, slowly rotating. The cracks on its surface slowly healed and emitted a soft white light. It was obvious that it had been successfully purified by Ethan.

"Where's the Master? Where did he go?"

Xiao Mo shook off the dust on his head and looked around for Ethan. Ethan, who should have been on the top of the Holy Grail, was no longer there.

"There!" Alanna was the first to discover Ethan's location through her vision-enhancing glasses. She raised her hand to point the location to Xiao Mo, then immediately ran over.

Ethan was lying on the floor directly below the Holy Grail, apparently having been knocked to the ground by the explosion. He was bathed in the soft light cast by the Holy Grail, and his peaceful face looked so peaceful.

"Ethan!" Alanna knelt down and moved Ethan to her knees, gently shaking his shoulders, with an anxious look on her face, "Ethan, wake up!"

"Well……"

As the girl kept shaking him, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. However, he did not greet her with a grin as usual. Instead, he sat up and hesitantly looked around:

"Where is...where?"
