Chapter 262 The Holy Grail Arrives
"Arthur! Why are you still alive?!"
Looking at Altria, who could only stand with the help of the holy sword, Mordred stared at her closely, with murderous intent bursting out of her eyes.
For servants, their treasures are not only the most powerful ultimate weapons, but also the capital they are proud of.
Once the servants release the true name of the treasure, they fail to kill the enemy. This is a great shame for the servants, especially for Mordred, whose treasure was born because of her father, the Knight King, which is greater than her glory and her hatred.
And now, Mordred hopes to prove that she can surpass Altria, the king, through the final victory, so the fact that the other party is still or is difficult for her to accept.
However, relying on the connection between the master and the servant that has not been broken, Zhao Chen clearly felt a bit of joy from Mordred's heart.
So, tsundere is really amazing.
Struggling to support herself from falling, Altria's face seemed to have untied some knot in her heart. There was no more disgust in her eyes when she looked at Mordred, but another inexplicable emotion.
At the moment when the treasures collided just now, she thought of many things, including the past and the future, the joy of the battlefield, and the anger and sadness engraved in her heart at the Sword Fence.
Unexpectedly, Altria also thought of all the performances of Mordred as a Knight of the Round Table under her command.
Training, fighting, winning
Everything came to mind very clearly, until this time, Altria discovered one thing.
It turned out that she paid more attention to Mordred, a minister with her own blood, than she thought.
Relying on her own master by her side, Mordred's magic recovery speed was much faster, so when she was able to move, Altria still looked like she couldn't move.
In fact, for Altria, this night was also an extremely tiring night.
Mordred at least still had the power of the Master and the Command Spell, while Altria could only rely on herself to recover the consumed magic and physical strength.
This made her only 80% to 90% of her usual strength when she fought with Mordred, and even the power of the last Noble Phantasm True Name was much weaker than the one that made [Lancer] before.
It was because of this that Altria and Mordred's Noble Phantasm clash ended in a draw.
"It seems that I will recover first, and welcome your defeat, Arthur!" Dragging the silver-white and red king's sword, Mordred walked step by step towards his beloved father, wanting to see her off.
Altria dragged herself to stand up, looked directly at Mordred, and smiled: "Yes, I lost, you have become stronger, Sir Mordred!"
The performance of his father made Mordred blush very quickly, and steam came out of his head. He threw away the king's sword with both hands in an instant, and turned to cover his cheeks like red apples.
Tears full of joy and excitement flowed from his eyes, and Mordred felt that he was complete at this moment.
The king's sword thrown aside by his master: "!"
Coincidentally, at this moment, the rising sun had completely crossed the horizon, shining its warm light on the whole world, and also dyed Altria and Mordred standing face to face with golden light.
In the light, the two girls with the same face faced each other, and the smiles on their faces were even more dazzling than the sun.
Zhao Chen looked at the scene that seemed like a finale and said with a smile: "Now is not the time to express our feelings to each other and move towards a happy ending. The Holy Grail is about to come!" Hearing this, Waver, who was attracted by the various fancy show operations, suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Chen with his expectant eyes. "Stop, stop, stop, for the sake of being a master, I will take you to see it. Well, it has already started!" Before he finished speaking, an extremely huge magic power came from the direction of the Fuyuki Citizens' Hall, but what was revealed in the magic power was the ultimate "evil"! Toei Secret Technique - Change the scene in one second! In the Fuyuki Citizens' Hall, the three who were supposed to fight each other looked at each other. They could never have imagined that the legendary Holy Grail would appear in front of them in this way! Moving forward a little, relying on the repair power of [Avalon], Emiya Kiritsugu fought more and more bravely, not afraid of any injuries at all, although it was indeed painful.
However, this was not something unbearable for him who had suffered so much. Instead, Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokiomi gradually became disadvantaged under this desperate fighting style.
Unlike Kotomine Kirei who had more than a dozen Command Seals as the source of magic power, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not dare to be concentrated by Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet, he knew the power of that thing.
Didn't you see that Emiya Kiritsugu has earned the title of "Magician Killer"? Even if you haven't really seen it, you can still infer a thing or two.
Kirei's Bajiquan + Black Key, Tōsaka Tokiomi's Jewel Magic, Emiya Kiritsugu's Gun Skill + Origin Bullet.
Just when this two-on-one situation was slightly stalemate, the Holy Grail descended!
And just above the large prop warehouse where they were, on the stage in the music hall, was the still somewhat warm body of Irisviel.
However, it is more appropriate to call it a corpse now. After recovering the Hero King's soul, which was extremely resistant, she finally lost all signs of life.
As for Irisviel's soul, it was not affected much. Currently, under the protection of the soul-protecting amulet, she has become a ghost that can only move around the body.
As the "guardian", Irisviel's internal organs completely restored to the form of the Holy Grail container at the moment of losing signs of life. The powerful magic contained in it brought extremely scorching power to the surroundings.
The only remaining corpse was burned out in an instant and turned into ashes.
Not only that, the golden cup that came into contact with the outside air burned the floor and curtains, and the raging flames swept the empty stage.
On the stage where the fire was getting fiercer, the golden cup floated in the air as if it was held up by an invisible hand. The Holy Grail Advent Ceremony that the "Founding Three Families" dreamed of began quietly without even a priest.
Then, the still tightly closed "door" had a gap as thin as a hairline. Through the tiny gap, something on the other side of the door quietly seeped into the Holy Grail.
That thing looked very similar to "mud". Black, just black, a mud-like "object".
The object that had seeped into the Holy Grail suddenly dripped out, and then another drop, turning into a thin black line, like a crack in a dam, and soon the black waves overflowed the container and flowed to the floor of the stage.
The strength of the stage floor was not enough to support the black thing. The mud seeped into the brand new building materials, corroding, flowing deeper like melted snow water seeping into the ground.
If it weren't for Toshiomi's quick reaction, using the gem magic and the magic power stored in the dress that he had spent his life to refine, and decisively set up a magic barrier for defense, I'm afraid everyone would have fallen into the black mud!
The Holy Grail has arrived!
