Chapter 192

Passersby, unwittingly, remembered the two people in front of the old church in the old city street. After that Queen of Heaven, whenever they met friends, they would mention how, despite their young age, their ability to enjoy life so cheerfully was a talent in itself, or how they should learn from the two if they felt listless lately. It was used extensively as material for their drunken sermons.

All in all.

Lively and cheerful, filled with a strong sense of joy, as if the Sun were right there.

"Mmm, the Holy Grail War, right? Abi, I'll definitely make sure you win, brother!"

The petite blonde girl raised her hand, hidden in her sleeve, into a fist to express her determination. Although Abigail knew her current 'good girl' state wasn't enough, she knew that only by transforming into her 'bad girl' state could she unleash her full power...

The girl didn't really like being like that, because she always felt her mindset would become strange in that situation, and she had an urge to eat her brother. However, she would definitely endure it for her brother's victory. If it really didn't work out, if it really didn't work out...

I am my brother's key. Let him hold my hand tightly, until it hurts, that's all. And biting my lip is fine too; at worst, it'll just draw blood, no big deal... probably...

"No, there's no need for that. I can just join the fight."

"Hey, but Abi, I'm the Servant! Brother, as your Master, you should be under my protection."

"That makes sense, but to outsiders, I seem more like Servant, right? Besides, we're not spirits anymore."

"But, but..."

"Who lets their younger sister charge into battle? Let me, the older brother, do it. Don't worry, I'm pretty strong."

"... Brother, you're being incredibly unreasonable! Back at the Château d'If, I was the one protecting you..."

Abigail's slightly displeased face revealed her displeasure, but it was not a genuine expression of annoyance; it was a feigned puffing of her cheeks.

"That's right, so it's been switched now."

"Brother, you're being so unreasonable! You're such a bad child..."

At that moment, Abi saw the Command Spell in Novia's hand. It was the same Command Spell Novia received after Jack the Ripper's defeat, and it was also the medium through which Abigail came into this world using the Silver Key...

The Command Spell, which are meant to command Servant, were glowing and seemed to be activating, but strangely, Abigail, as the Servant, did not feel any discomfort whatsoever.

Then Abigail saw a mask, only half of it, appear out of thin air in Novia's hand, which was adorned with Command Spell.

The girl thought for a moment, and it seemed to resemble Jaguar? She had this impression because of what Tlaloc had told her earlier.

She was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected that her seemingly aloof sister Tlaloc, would be so talkative, even Bavan Shi couldn't get a word in edgewise.

But what's the older brother doing with that fierce-looking mask?

Abigail's question was quickly answered when Novia put on half of the Jaguar Man Mask.

The silver-haired man's appearance then changed, and Primitive Attire woven from ancient Od covered his entire body in less than two seconds.

Well, while Abigail was quite pleased that Novia had grown to have the same blond hair as her, the problem was—

"Ahhh, this, this, isn't this too daring, brother..."

Upon seeing Novia's bare upper body, the girl's face quickly flushed red. She even covered her eyes with her sleeve, but couldn't help but steal glances.

Don't you like it?

"No!" Abigail shook her head, then lowered her head and twisted her sleeve. "It still looks really good, and I like it a lot, but, um, I'm not feeling well, so you definitely shouldn't do this in front of anyone other than Abi... um, that's it..."

Novia simply smiled in response.

In a modern City, he is dressed in the attire of a primitive tribe in Central and South America, his hands are empty, and his head is adorned with something that resembles a 'Sun' formed from countless Obsidian fragments.

Even in the Age of Gods, the First Sun spent considerable time and effort using tools, materials, and time to create something, yet it appeared in an instant. This is the Fifth Sun of the United the Americas.

Using one of her abilities in isolation inevitably reminded Novia of her epic battle with ORT...

The real Sun above, located in the Universe, was eager to continue transferring power to Novia, but although she accepted it, she wouldn't use it. After all, she didn't need the Sun UO; the Fifth Sun was enough.

Once someone truly breaks through to the point where they can use the power of the Fifth Sun energy, it won't be too late to use the Sun UO then.

Speaking of which, the First Sun of Central and South America is clearly Grand madman, but because of the 'mountain', it appears as Assassin.

Now that Jack the Ripper, Abi has appeared as a new extra Class, and Novia here could be considered an Assassin.

The next instant, Novia stood there, raising one hand high in the blazing Sun—

"Then, my Sun, let's begin."

In an instant, for those who have mastered Magecraft, pure blackness descends.

Earlier, in Trifas, Romania, the home of the Yggdmillennia Family, the Black Faction, in the Holy Grail War.

His clan leader Darnic, was the one who participated in the Third Holy Grail War as a Germany Magecraft and transported the Greater Grail to Germany.

He, too, had waited sixty years for this moment to initiate the Holy Grail Ritual, symbolizing the creation of a new organization, the summoning of Servant, the declaration of separation from the Mage's Association, and the declaration of war against the Mage's Association.

At this very moment, all the Black Servant present here have appeared.

Swordsman Siegfried, archer Chiron, cavalryman Astolfo, berserker Frankestan, and the spearmen who commanded them—

Vlad III.

To Romania, he was the greatest hero of Transylvania; Turkey Soldiers called him the Impaler out of fear, but in the world, he is probably better known by another name.

Earl Dracula, the Vampire.

Of course, Vlad III in front of us has little to do with Vampire. Vlad III was a man of unwavering Faith and noble character, and he was once the king of a small country. In Romania, because he had repeatedly repelled the invasions of the Ottoman Empire, which had ravaged various countries around the world, he was regarded as a great hero who contributed to Romania's independence.

Indeed, as long as this is Romania, his fame is almost unparalleled, comparable to Heracles of Greece and King Arthur of England.

"Ah, wouldn't it be better if I introduced myself? Okay? Let's begin! I'm Rider, my real Astolfo, and what's yours?"

Astolfo spoke first, before anyone else.

A character appearing in the legend of Charlemagne, one of Charlemagne's twelve knights.

The composed Archer beside him, though somewhat surprised, responded with a smile.

"I am Chiron."

The great sage in Greek Mythology, proficient in all kinds of knowledge, was the Teacher of many Greece heroes.

Thanks! Please take good care of me during this time!

Afu extended his hand, Chiron responded with a puzzled look.

"Rider, do not use your real names; use your rank titles."

Darnic stopped the Rider with a serious expression, Afu then said, "Ah, right," and nodded, turning to the Berserker in the white dress.

And what about you?

Frankenstein.

"Hmm, what a cute name!"

Then, Afu's gaze turned to the Swordsman.

So, what is your real name?

"... Siegfried."

"Huh?!" Upon hearing the name, Astolfo rushed to Siegfried, like a fan meeting their idol. "Siegfried? The one Siegfried killed Fafnir the dragon with Avia the King of the Huns? The Siegfried who was taken down by Beowulf in the snow on his way to Scandinavia? No way, it really is you, it really is that Siegfried?"

"Yes, I am Siegfried."

Siegfried wasn't wary of the lively Astolfo, who seemed to know his own legend. However, he made a mistake, as Astolfo later defeated Beowulf in a wrestling match, albeit decades later.

"Aaaaaah, why are you like this?! This bet with Charles is something I couldn't afford to pay back even if I sold myself!"

Astolfo, clutching his head and seemingly on the verge of tears, appeared deeply devastated.

The Charles he referred to was Charlemagne, which was his everyday way of addressing the king.

"Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?"

Haven't I always been like this? Is it because I'm saddened by the discrepancy between the hero I imagined and the hero I actually met? But there's nothing I can do about it.

Just as Siegfried was about to offer some words of comfort to Astolfo, whom he barely knew, Astolfo's next words stunned everyone except him.

He said, "Shouldn't Siegfried be a woman?! Even if she wasn't, she should at least be the super cute type like me, Afu!"

Astolfo had entered the Giant God Ruins with Charlemagne and seen the murals about Avia, but he did not hear the words specifically addressed to Charlemagne. In any case, Afu later often made bets with his king, saying that Siegfried, who had traveled with Avia, should be the same as him.

Charlemagne naturally rejected this without hesitation. After all, he was a staunch supporter of Attila and Avia, and he wouldn't accept Afu's irrational argument... However, the two often made bets about this, but they probably never imagined that they would appear Servant after their deaths.

The irrational words of the Rider shocked everyone present. Even Darnic was speechless for a moment. However, the other members of the Yggdmillennia had heard of a similar game in which the Rider spoke of Siegfried.

However, Vlad III quickly frowned and snorted coldly:

"Rider, watch your words. I don't want to hear baseless accusations again, or I'll kill you first."

"OK..."

Astolfo responded dejectedly.

Even the great hero who slew the dragon could only sigh, and then said, "Regardless, the one standing before you, Rider, is the real Siegfried."

Siegfried was somewhat surprised that this Rider would think of him that way... but he didn't think too much about it.

However, after Astolfo mentioned Avia, he did feel a pang of longing, even though he had missed Avia quite a bit when she was alive.

Since I've already appeared as Servant, there's no reason why Avia, who is more famous and stronger than me, shouldn't also show up...

Then, everyone present, including the Servant, felt a certain 'temperature'. Before they could figure out what it was, in the next instant, all the Servant participating in the Romania Holy Grail War, including their Master, along with the Magecraft in the Americas, heard a sudden mixture of four sounds: the roar of a leopard, the sound of wind, the sound of rain, and the sound of the sea, even though their Flesh were still intact.

This was an unexpected event that even Amakusa Shirou, the Ruler had waited for sixty years, had never imagined. He knew of the arrival of another Ruler, Jeanne d'Arc, but he was completely unaware of the situation.

It seemed to be the beginning of the four great Sun Era in an ancient and cruel world, and also the concept that the four great Sun Era were about to be destroyed one by one.

The pitch-black world welcomed the First Sun, but the faint light that should have illuminated the surroundings was instead tinged with a deathly blackness.

Black Sun.

The World-Creating Hurricane of the Second Sun once triggered a catastrophe that led to the extinction of Early Humans; the wind that was meant to save all things could also bring destruction.

Cyan Sun.

Then came the blue Sun of the Third Sun Era, and the yellow Sun of the Fourth Sun Age.

Four Suns hung high in the sky, and the ground was covered with the tracks of Giants and Giant Jaguars, all of which were highly mysterious Phantasmal Species.

Four Suns? So many Phantasmal Species?

Gazing upon everything that could only exist in the Age of Gods, listening to the sounds of things that belong to fantasy, as real as an illusion.

Then, the wind rose, and the First Sun died, as if it were the beginning, and the four Sun began to die in a cycle.

The brutal Living People Sacrifice of that time seem to be forever etched in the air, as if one could see them again simply by opening one's eyes.

But everything has eventually vanished, leaving behind this desolate, empty world. Thanks to the life-giving Bacteria, lush green land and azure ocean were born.

At the same time, the four Sun vanished, and then countless rays of light appeared high in the sky above this illusory world, as well as Sun that seemed to have been born to receive all the light.

From this terrifying, cyclical heat emerges one of the ultimate principles, standing atop Spiral Sky: creating the earth, and looking down from the heavens—

'Sun'.

One of the ultimate realms based on the Spiral Sky.

Then, the Sun, which was born in the dark sky, fell from the heavens, its destruction causing the Planet to scream.

Pure pressure causes space to crack, the earth to split open like clay, and all things are inevitably and easily torn apart.

The moment the cataclysmic collapse that shattered the world drew near before them—

"Please allow me to introduce myself."

The blond man, dressed in primitive attire and wearing a half- Jaguar Man Mask, spoke calmly.

As if in response to his words, a gentle breeze blew back into the world of light, causing his blond hair to flutter slightly.

At the same time, countless Obsidian fragments appeared in everyone's hands in the shape of 'flowers'.

"I am not the first, second, third, or fourth. I am the Fifth Sun, who still exists in the world and commands the four great Sun."

And so, the most terrifying preview of this Holy Grail War between the Red-and-Black Factions came to an end.

The reactions of the various Servant in the Black Faction of the Yggdmillennia Family and the Red Faction led by the Ruler varied. The Greece Servant inexplicably sensed an aura similar to that of their omnipotent god Zeus, as well as a strange aura that even they themselves were part of.

Those Servant of the Church saw a light within it that was identical to that of the Sun.

Even Siegfried saw a 'campfire' that looked similar to the one from before.

Although it was very faint, everyone still felt it.

Although no one died in the end, the extraordinary figure was enough to impact the world.
