It's light!
That light represents the Knight King Artoria!
Re-emerging from the crimson torrent of destruction.
It was as glaring as a gap that suddenly appeared on the Wailing Wall!
The sword of Excalibur has finally been drawn from Utopia!
The golden light suddenly surged and increased!
From the light of a firefly, it has grown into the radiance of the bright moon!
The holy light tore through the dark red that represented destruction with unparalleled force!
This was a strike from the two kings, with no reservations whatsoever.
Heaven and Tyrant!
Man and Holy King!
The two extremes of their respective paths are now locked in a fierce battle!
The two most powerful weapons in the world have now come together in one place!
This is a struggle between violence and violence.
Amazing, terrifying, and awe-inspiring!
The scene when two supreme weapons collide.
In a comic book, such a scene would only leave the characters with screaming and struggling expressions, their bodies replaced by black lines and white light.
The clash of these two forms of violence left only a blinding daylight in the world.
The barrier of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations has now been completely destroyed, and all the Servants have returned to reality.
At the heart of the battle, the first to appear was the hero-king Gilgamesh.
He stood firmly in place, looking at the Ea in his hand, seemingly savoring the battle that had just taken place.
"I see. Avalon, the paradise that a king reached after his death, is a place where even the five great magics cannot approach, and it is the ultimate defense that nothing can harm."
"Is this your true treasure, the legendary power of the holy sword?"
"As expected of the woman I've chosen... even at the very end, she defies me. Fine, I've already lost this battle..."
When everyone heard Gilgamesh say these words, they couldn't help but look at the other end—the Knight King Artoria, who was flying backward.
At the tip of the explosion, the Knight King, having exerted all his strength to slash at the sword, was unable to maintain his balance after the impact dissipated and was sent flying backward.
He was kneeling on the ruins, holding the sword hilt in one hand.
"Well, Chaldea, I must say you have done a good job with my test. I will continue to watch over your path from the heavens."
"As for this, consider it a reward for you for completing the test."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gilgamesh pulled a strange "sword" from the Royal Treasury and threw it at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
He then glanced at El-Melloi II, who was still deep in thought, and smiled.
The entire spirit base shattered into photons, which then re-entered the earth of this winterwood region, flowing along the veins and into the Great Grail beneath Ryudou Temple.
"Finally, we won..."
Chapter 168 Ball of Yarn
After the battle at the church was over, everyone first cleaned up the battlefield.
Lancer and Solau then found the person in charge of this Holy Grail War—Kotamine Risei.
I learned from him that Kirei Kotomine had died in his battle with Kiritsugu Emiya.
So they didn't continue to cause trouble for the old man.
After this battle, Chaldea completely revealed the truth about the Holy Grail to Lancer and Solau.
After learning that the Holy Grail could not fulfill their wishes, Solau and Lancer also expressed their willingness to help Chaldea retrieve the Holy Grail.
Just as everyone was happily planning their next strategy.
El-Melloi II suddenly said:
"There are two major mysteries surrounding this Holy Grail War, one of which is Lancer, who is right next to you."
When Lancer saw the wild Servant who had suddenly appeared pointing the finger at him, he looked at him warily.
"Miss Lancer, may I speak with your Master?"
Lancer remained silent for a moment, seemingly communicating with her Master.
The next moment, Solau's far-sighted spell reversed its operation, and after sensing the magic working, the Second Prince also connected his own magic pathways to it.
Furthermore, they established a telepathic connection with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to share the content of this conversation.
"What superb magic skills! No wonder she's the daughter of the prestigious Sophia Li family."
As is customary, the second prince's conversational technique always begins with praising the other person.
The Chaldeans exchanged bewildered glances, inwardly marveling, "As expected of Lord El-Melloi I know."
"Clumsy language skills. The people of Chaldea seem to call you El-Melloi? But I don't know any El-Melloi who has ever climbed to the position of a Heroic Spirit."
The Second Prince, whose lie was exposed, was not embarrassed. He simply continued Solau's words:
"Well, it's my fault for not introducing myself yet. I am the agent chosen by the Archizorti family for Miss Reines. Of course, this is something that will happen in the future. Given that you and Chaldea have already exchanged information, you should be able to understand, right?"
"As for this Servant's body, it has simply become one with me for some reason."
Faced with different levels of crisis, the Second Prince's response was completely different from the last time. Compared to the previous attempt to coax and deceive, this time he almost revealed all his secrets.
"evidence."
"As for evidence... I once found a love letter addressed to you in Lord Kenneth's study, which read, 'My beautiful beloved, your eyes hold...'"
"enough!"
After that sentence, the other party on the call fell into a deathly silence.
...
“Miss Solau, this love letter should still be tucked in that book on the bookshelf. You can verify its authenticity by checking with your family members afterward.”
"No need, that love letter is in my hands right now."
? !
Now it was the Second Prince's turn to be surprised.
"this..."
"A time paradox. It's obvious that our timeline is completely different from yours. Since you were able to obtain that love letter, in your timeline, Kenneth and I should both be dead..."
King El-Melloi II was silent for a moment, then asked:
"...Then can you tell me, did Lord Kenneth do anything unusual before summoning Lancer?"
Solau pondered for a moment, then said:
"...Two months before the Holy Grail War began, Kenneth seemed to have become a completely different person..."
"You've become a different person? Could you elaborate?"
"In short, it was his behavior, and the way he seemed to know that participating in this Holy Grail War would mean his death..."
? !
"How could this be?" Two voices rang out at the same time, one from Lancer and the other from the second generation, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other in bewilderment.
This statement is incredibly revealing: someone who knows they will die still comes to their death...
"Actually, when the initial relics were stolen, Kenneth was prepared to give up participating in the Holy Grail War. During that time, it seems he was investigating you?"
Solau turned his attention to the Chaldea group.
"But in the end, we only found out about the Celestial Societies Monarch Animusphia. From him, we learned that Chaldea's establishment was not yet complete. This is why I knew about your information in advance."
"After that, Command Seals appeared on Kenneth's wrist..."
At this moment, Lancer seemed to have thought of something and spoke up:
"When the Master came here, he made the strategic decision to attack Ryudouji Temple, apparently because he thought that the Master of the Matou faction should not be that guy named Matou Ike."
"You mean that Lord Kenneth attacked Ryudouji Temple because he thought Matou Pond was wrong?" El-Melloi II glanced at Lancer.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled a quote from Gilgamesh:
"Isn't Lancer's master the very bastard you went through all that trouble to save...?"
Maybe... forget it...
"Regardless, our next target is those two from Ryudouji Temple. The information we have about them... seems to be that they summoned a complete divine beast..."
The Second King shared the information he had obtained from "himself".
"How is that possible? Given the spiritual origin strength of this Holy Grail War, no matter who that Caster is, how could he possibly break through the limits and summon a familiar of that caliber?"
Suddenly, an image of Leonardo da Vinci popped up from the air and said.
"That's just how it is... Let's prepare for the battle at Ryudouji Temple... Tonight, let's recover our magic power and get ourselves in better shape, since this battle has taken a lot of energy."
The Second waved his hand, saying that this Holy Grail War was full of all sorts of mysteries, like a tangled ball of yarn.
There's simply no way to solve it...
Artoria, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up:
"Did you forget Irisviel?"
Yes, there's still no clue as to the whereabouts of that android woman. Kirei Kotomine, who might have known, is probably dead, like a kite with a broken string...
After the battle, Artoria signed a magic supply contract with Fujimaru Ritsuka to sustain her activities in the mortal world.
Her question at that moment left everyone speechless, unsure how to answer.
This newly formed team had differing ideas from the very beginning.
