Sneak Attack, the Final Sword
"Destroy... the Holy Grail?" Waver stammered.
"Yes, the Holy Grail has been corrupted. During the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail absorbed the soul of Angra Mainyu, who All the World's Evil."
"The colorless power of the Holy Grail turned into black mud. The distortion of the Holy Grail resulted in wishes being interpreted as 'evil,' always being fulfilled in a way that brought destruction and disaster."
"And even if it's a wish... it's just a pretext. I believe the El-Melloi family knows something about the Holy Grail War."
"Hmm." Kischur Zelretch nodded.
Making a wish is just a pretext.
The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City involves infusing the souls of six deceased Heroic Spirits into the Lesser Grail.
Using their power to return to the Throne of Heroes located outside the world, they opened a hole in this world and fixed it with the vast magical power accumulated in the Greater Grail, thus creating a door to go outside the world.
However, even with just six Heroic Spirits, and having opened the gate to the outer world, they still couldn't accurately pinpoint the location of the Root.
At this point, all seven Servants are needed to secure the path to the Root.
The seven heroic spirits plus the Lesser Grail Greater Grail = granting wishes, recreating the Third Magic, and fixing the path to the Root.
This is why Tohsaka Tokiomi, Magus who is obsessed with the Root, is so eager to obtain the Holy Grail.
Furthermore, if the Holy Grail is filled with the souls of Heroes, as long as the hole is not opened or the Holy Grail is not destroyed, the Heroes will remain inside the Holy Grail and will be unable to return to the Throne of Heroes.
This explains why Ling Yuan said earlier that destroying the Holy Grail would allow him to revive Rider and Lancer.
The most complex thing in the world is the soul.
Once this is resolved, everything will be fine.
"Judging from the current situation, BERSERKER, CASTER, ASSASSIN, LANCER, and RIDER have gathered five SERVANTs, which is enough to summon the Holy Grail."
Ling Yuan touched his chin.
Turning his head to look at Saber, a smile played on his lips, "It seems we're not far off..."
Chapter 228 Sneak Attack, The Ending Sword
That night
Near the Tohsaka Residence
"Kirei Kotomine, are you really sure?"
ARCHER stood on a tree branch, gazing at the brightly lit villas in the distance, and said calmly.
"Faced with such a monster, we have no choice but to use a surprise attack," Kirei Kotomine.
Golden Flash remained silent.
Although the pride of a king would not allow him to do so.
But...
Thinking of how humiliated she had been by Ling Yuan, Golden Flash clenched her arms tightly.
Releasing his grip, Golden Flash raised his head, his expression turning cold. "Just as you said."
"Thank you very much, King of Heroes..." Kirei Kotomine, then retreated to the back.
After Kirei Kotomine withdrew, a golden light shone.
Golden Flash reached out and pulled a golden longbow from the golden light.
Buzz~
Golden arrows condensed in the void and slowly rested on the longbow.
The arrow was aimed at the villa below.
Golden Flash narrowed his eyes.
Golden, wing-like magical runes appeared in front of the bow and arrow.
At the same time
Kirei Kotomine also extended his large tattooed arm, and the two Command Seal disappeared, transforming into magical power.
"The Calamity Fire fall from the heavens! The Wrath of Nabû surge forth!"
"The flames of destruction are overflowing; look up to the heavens, you monstrous beings!"
Golden Flash gave a soft shout.
Release the fingers that were gripping the bowstring.
The next second
The golden arrow of light transformed into a stream of light and was shot out.
When it arrived above Welt's villa, it suddenly turned into light and disappeared.
As he watched the golden arrow disappear, Kirei Kotomine's lips curled into a smile, "God needs seven days to create a world, and only seven days to destroy it."
How will you respond to this move?
At the same time
Satellite orbit in space
What is that?
Satellites from various countries detected the sudden appearance of the golden light.
Six beams of light emerged from the void, converged, and intertwined to form a golden arrow.
It plummeted downwards!
After breaking through the atmosphere, the arrow exploded in mid-air as golden sparks.
Immediately afterwards, a giant crimson magic circle opened.
"Laugh!"
An endless flood poured down from the sky.
"Wash away your sins, you monstrous beings!"
Golden Flash put down the golden bow in his hand, his face showing disdain.
ENKI, the Ending Sword, is a Noble Phantasm against civilization.
Its release could trigger Great Tsunami that became the prototype for Noah's flood.
From the moment it begins, the torrents will increase with each passing day, and by the seventh day, they will unleash a great flood powerful enough to destroy the world.
"EX-CALIBUR!!"
Just as the floodwaters were about to fall, a soft shout rang out.
Golden light shot straight up from the ground into the sky.
"It's no use, Saber." Golden Flash shook his head.
Boom!
In an emergency, an extremely terrifying flame overwhelmed the golden pillar of light and shot towards the sky!
The intense heat evaporated the moisture in the air in an instant.
As a result, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were instantly reduced to dead wood, which then spontaneously combusted.
"What?!"
Upon sensing the explosive flames, Golden Flash's pupils constricted sharply.
Bang!
Flames and floodwaters collided.
The floodwaters falling from the sky and the flames shooting up from the ground stood in a stalemate in mid-air.
Sizzle~
The steam, enough to cook a person instantly, emitted a piercing buzzing sound.
"Good, very strong."
Waver swallowed hard as he watched Kevin unleash such a terrifying move with just a flick of his wrist.
Kischur Zelretch remained silent.
Are these people really not heroic spirits disguised as humans?
However, fire has its limits and cannot compare to an endless flood.
It was quickly suppressed.
"Snort!"
Upon seeing this, Kevin snorted coldly.
A chill spread throughout the body.
Click! Click!
One after another, sharp, icy spikes rose from the ground.
In an instant, the entire Tohsaka Residence was transformed into a world of ice.
"Everyone, come behind me." Seeing this, Ling Yuan shouted to the people around him.
Upon seeing Saber standing there dumbfounded, Ling Yuan said, "Saber, you too."
Seeing that Saber was still standing there in a daze, Eiri grabbed Saber and pulled her over.
Ling Yuan activated his elemental shield.
Everyone entered Ling Yuan's elemental shield.
Kevin slowly gripped the hilt of the sword "An-Utu" with his other hand, his icy blue pupils radiating an eerie blue light.
Kevin, who used to wield a greatsword with only one hand, is now wielding it with both hands!
As the great flood was about to fall, Kevin slowly raised the greatsword in his hand.
Flame replating covered the original greatsword with a layer of crystallized flames.
"Eternal calamity——"
"Extinction—!"
Kevin gave a soft shout and suddenly swung a weapon towards the sky.
Bang!
The orange flames transformed into shooting stars, hurtling towards the sky.
This time, the overwhelming floodwaters seemed to spread Ruoshui.
It would evaporate completely before even the flames got close.
Flames rising from the ground raged and devoured the floodwaters.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the golden flame pierced through the sky, giving the floodwaters a thorough warming sensation.
Click!
A cracking sound rang out, and then the red magic circle in the sky that had been releasing the flood shattered.
Ling Yuan reached out his hand and then gripped it tightly.
Buzz~
An extremely vast Imaginary Space opened up, suddenly swallowing the remaining floodwaters.
"It actually... destroyed it!" Golden Flash stood there, his eyes wide with shock.
I couldn't help but take a step back.
His most powerful Noble Phantasm was so easily defeated.
Throughout history, he has always been so unsuccessful and out of control!
Seeing that Ling Yuan had dealt with the wreckage, Kevin released An-Utu.
