Servant Showdown / Don't You Dare Stop!

At this moment, Avicebron's Noble Phantasm undoubtedly threatens the Holy Grail War itself, or even the world itself? The Black Faction was too lazy to think about it, even though they had already guessed part of Chiron.

Even though Avicebron had not betrayed him, he chose to remain silent.

"Even if I die, my Noble Phantasm will not disappear." Avicebron said with some excitement, "But Ruler, you can rest assured that my Noble Phantasm will not cause much harm to this world. Instead, it will guide them to the true paradise, the legendary 'Eden'."

"In this world, there will be no more wars, no more children will die, and... there will be no more diseases or death. Humanity will live in the legendary paradise."

Avicebron felt that he was a good person, and since Jeanne d'Arc was called the Saint of Salvation, she should be able to understand him.

He had witnessed far too much ugliness and unimaginable depravity, yet he still wanted to save humanity. He wanted to fulfill his wish with his own hands!

At this moment, Avicebron had clearly succeeded; he had done it!

The Crown of Wisdom is a product created in imitation of "Adam," and is an autonomous, Inherent Domain that will continuously change the world as long as it exists.

Even if Avicebron dies unexpectedly, it will continue to move. Blessed by the earth, it will never perish as long as its feet are still connected to the earth.

"... Paradise?" Jeanne d'Arc seemed to pause for a moment, but quickly raised her head, staring calmly at Avicebron and said, "Are you the Lord?"

"Um?"

Everyone on the Black Faction was somewhat puzzled by Jeanne d'Arc's words.

"Even the Lord wouldn't say such a thing." Jeanne d'Arc gripped the Holy Banner tightly and said righteously, "To lead all mankind to the Eden? This is no laughing matter, Avicebron! If this way of leading to the Eden could truly bring real happiness to mankind, why did Adam and Eve leave the Eden?"

"They were deceived by the snake," Avicebron said coldly. "That's why I want to lead humanity back to the Eden so that we can achieve true happiness."

"I don't want to say anything more to you."

Jeanne d'Arc shook her head. If it weren't for the Noble Phantasm beside her, she was confident she could persuade Avicebron and change his mind.

But now! We have no choice but to use force!

Jeanne d'Arc waved her Holy Banner and said in a very serious tone, "I need an answer from the Master and Servant of the Black Faction. If it cannot be confirmed that Avicebron's Noble Phantasm will be automatically destroyed after the Holy Grail War, then I will take the necessary measures."

"..." Darnic gave Jeanne d'Arc a deep look and said calmly, "Ruler, are you helping the Red Faction?"

Can I take that as you stalling for time?

Jeanne d'Arc stared at Darnic and said mercilessly, "If you don't give me a clear answer now and insist on keeping this Noble Phantasm, then I will use Ruler's authority to gather all Servant and destroy it. I will protect you for a while, until Siegfried and Vlad III are fully healed..."

Even though Jeanne d'Arc offered a reward, before she could finish speaking, Vlad III made his move. The wooden stake that had appeared beside Jeanne d'Arc immediately charged towards her.

There's nothing more to say now! Since Ruler has made his stance clear, he won't hold back!

Faced with the surrounding wooden stakes, Jeanne d'Arc immediately swung her Holy Banner and cleaved them in two. She quickly took a few steps back, seemingly wanting to say something, but Vlad III was clearly too lazy to say anything.

"Sigh." Chiron could understand Jeanne d'Arc, but understanding aside, he still drew his bow and fired more than a dozen arrows at the same time.

Siegfried also moved. At this moment, he was a fighting machine without any emotion, so he gripped his sword tightly and slashed at Jeanne d'Arc.

"Indeed, people cannot understand each other."

Avicebron said with a hint of helplessness, as he jumped onto the shoulder of Crown of Wisdom and pointed at Jeanne d'Arc, saying ruthlessly, "Kill Ruler."

The Crown of Wisdom, which had been crouching on the ground to conceal its body, slowly stood up. This moment made all the Master and Servant of the Black Faction understand why Ruler had asked Avicebron to destroy this Noble Phantasm after the Holy Grail War.

When the Crown of Wisdom took its first step, spring returned to the earth, and trees, flowers, and some plants that had been extinct reappeared where he left.

At the same time, his body appeared so enormous! A stone sword appeared in his hand, and following his master's instructions, he swung the greatsword and slashed down at Jeanne d'Arc.

"Then you are enemies."

After Jeanne d'Arc withstood Siegfried's attack head-on, she looked at the crown of wisdom above her head and said in a tone that was both gentle and ruthless, "Then, according to the rules of the Great Holy Grail War, for those of you who disregard the rules, I, as the Ruler, will punish you!"

"With the power of three Command Seal, all Servant the Red Faction! In the name of Jeanne d'Arc, I demand your participation in this battle!"

"Whoosh—!!"

Suddenly, a golden laser beam shot down from the sky!

Chiron unleashed his Noble Phantasm, intending to kill Jeanne d'Arc completely, and absolutely could not allow her Command Seal to succeed.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!" Crown of Wisdom also roared, intending to use sound waves to interfere with Jeanne d'Arc.

"Clang--!!"

A handsome man wearing glasses appeared in front of Jeanne d'Arc. He blocked Siegfried's sword and said in a playful tone, "Servant —Saber, I have come in response to your summons, Ruler."

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

Several figures appeared beside Jeanne d'Arc in an instant. Although they were somewhat surprised, their expressions quickly turned into ecstasy upon seeing Vlad III and the others.

Especially Hassan of the Arm and Hassan of the Hundred Faces, their eyes were practically brimming with tears!! They almost hugged Joan of Jeanne d'Arc and kissed her!

This is so timely!! Tonight, Mikaela entrusted them with the biggest mission, but they failed! They are still thinking about what to do when they return to the Throne of Heroes of Heroes after this Holy Grail War ends and see the First Generation Master.

Now everything's alright! For now, it's all good. It's never too late to mend things!

Chapter 225 Servant War (Fifth Update)

A great war is about to break out!

The red and black sides were originally meant to fight, and upon discovering each other, they naturally started fighting without a word.

"I'll handle this big guy for now. You guys go deal with the others."

Although he was summoned by Jeanne d'Arc, Cú Chulainn immediately took a liking to the Crown of Wisdom. He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that this big guy was the Noble Phantasm that Mikaela had repeated several times.

"I'll leave it to you for now, Caster!" Jeanne d'Arc didn't attack Crown of Wisdom immediately, but instead charged towards Vlad III. She waved her Holy Banner, shattering all the homunculi and golems that surrounded her.

"Oh! Is it charging towards me?" Vlad III straightened himself up, staring fearlessly at Jeanne d'Arc, and said in a very serious tone, "Then come on, Jeanne d'Arc!"

Vlad III lost a hand and a foot in the previous battle with Mikaela, but after a short period of treatment, his hands and feet have recovered.

"Well."

Darnic looked at the Command Seal in his hand and shook his head slightly. The Holy Grail was too far away now, and he could only trust Vlad III's power.

"My lord! By the name of the Command Seal, your injuries have been fully healed!"

"In the name of the Command Seal, you will win this Holy Grail War and wash away the stain on your body!"

If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be the final battle. Although it will be a bit faster than expected, Darnic is not a hesitant person. He decisively used the last two Command Seal!

"Hahahaha, of course! Darnic!" Vlad III laughed wildly, looking at Jeanne d'Arc and the others like a Berserker, and roared, "You traitors who dare to invade my country! Prepare for judgment!"

"Kazikli Bey, the Kazikli Bey!"

Countless wooden stakes surged out from all directions, charging towards the Red Faction's Servant.

Vlad III, who had previously suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Mikaela, now seemed like a completely different person. He was like a demon, frantically activating his Noble Phantasm.

"Disgusting things." Kiyohime quickly dodged away, exhaling flames that burned a large section of the dozens of wooden stakes that had appeared around her. She said with some disgust, "These things are really hard to like."

"Be careful!" Red A shouted to Kiyohime, then picked up his sword and engaged Chiron in a melee battle between archers.

Chiron and Red A are no pushovers. One is a teacher who is proficient in all eighteen Greek martial arts, and the other is a chef who is proficient in all eighteen culinary arts!

Although there are some subtle differences between the two, they are not far apart. One is a teacher who can teach others martial arts, and the other is a teacher who can teach cooking.

"Not bad skills, but still a bit green." Chiron gripped his bow tightly and threw a powerful punch, shattering the Kanshou Projection by Red A.

"Thank you for your concession."

Red A seized Chiron's weakness, sweeping his leg to kick Chiron off the tree, while simultaneously Projection Kanshou to continue the pursuit.

"Roar!!!!"

Crown of Wisdom unleashed a piercing roar. His voice was extremely harsh, and it was an area-of-effect attack with no clear target, affecting many Servants from Servant the Red Faction and Black Faction.

Vlad III destroyed many wooden stakes because of his voice.

Logically speaking, creation is difficult and destruction is easy, but here it is the opposite. Although the Crown of Wisdom destroyed many wooden stakes, Vlad III was able to create wooden stakes continuously, and he even fought Jeanne d'Arc to a standstill.

If Vlad III hadn't been injured by Mikaela earlier, he probably would have temporarily suppressed Jeanne d'Arc and then unleashed his full power.

However, now that he has the Command Seal, his injuries can be ignored. Although Jeanne d'Arc is called a village girl, her martial arts skills are not to be underestimated.

In short! One word! Just go for it!

"Yakamashi! Stop being so noisy!!" Cú Chulainn glared at Crown of Wisdom and shouted impatiently, "Since you like to yell so much, then I'll get you a worthy opponent to fight!"

At this moment, Cú Chulainn unusually refrained from showing off his marksmanship, even setting aside the spear that Mikaela had given him to Gae Bulg. He gripped his staff tightly and concentrated intently on chanting the incantation:

"My Magecraft is a cage of blazing flames."

"The green giant, like thorns."

"The shrine purifies the calamities of human affairs through the principle of cause and effect and retribution."

"Destroy!"

"The Wicker Man."

"Buzz—!!!"

Cú Chulainn planted his staff in the ground, and his magic surged wildly. A giant made of countless thin wooden branches appeared in front of him.

"Roar—!!!" As if he had been offended, Crown of Wisdom roared and swung his stone sword down at the Willow Man.

The Willow Man showed no fear. He was like an enraged god, reaching out and forcefully catching the stone sword! He was unharmed, and then reached out his other hand to grab at Avicebron.

"So that's how it is, the Noble Phantasm wielded by the Celtic Druids?" Avicebron seemed to have seen through the truth of Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm. He was not afraid of the giant hand that was attacking him, but said very calmly, "Rider, do me a favor."

With hurried footsteps, Medusa leaped up, abruptly removing her blindfold. Her jewel-like purple eyes were aimed at the Willow Man, as she intended to petrify Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm.

Even if this is Noble Phantasm, Medusa is confident she can petrify it!

"Yo! You've arrived?! I've been waiting for you for ages. I knew your Master would summon you back."

However, at this moment, a very familiar voice rang out, and a horse galloped wildly on the back of the Willow Man. He gave Medusa a very hearty smile, and the woman was holding a bow, with dozens of arrows shooting towards them.

"!!!!" Medusa's eyes widened suddenly, and purple light burst from them, petrifying the dozen or so arrows fired by Red Hare.

"Come and fight, Medusa!"

At that very moment, Red Hare leaped up, using its astonishing jumping ability to jump directly onto the Crown of Wisdom and fire a shot at Medusa.

"Step back," Medusa told Avicebron to leave quickly.

"Want to leave? It's a bit too late!"

Hassan of the Arm, now wielding his Noble Phantasm, stared at Avicebron and said calmly, "Caster! I'll take your heart!"

"Hey, hey, hey! This line sounds so familiar." Cú Chulainn, maintaining his Noble Phantasm, complained to Hassan of the Arm, "Did you steal my line?"

P. S.: "I'll start with five updates today to set the tone, and tomorrow I'll officially begin with ten updates. Four consecutive days of ten updates, for a total of forty updates, will be enough to make up for all the missed updates!"

Chapter 226 Don't Stop! (First Update)

"I have no idea about lines, Lord Cú Chulainn."

Hassan of the Arm, had no idea what Cú Chulainn was complaining about, but he wanted to kill Avicebron as soon as possible. Although he couldn't stop Avisbro's Noble Phantasm, it was necessary to get rid of Caster in order to avoid being beheaded by the First Generation Master and to give his side an advantage.

"Boom--!!"

When the Noble Phantasm Hassan of the Arm's club-shaped right hand was finally revealed. It was a non-human object—the arm of the Demon God, Sunflower!

"Noble Phantasm Zabaniya - Zabaniya!"

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to leave here yet. After all, I need to help them win this Holy Grail War." Avicebron wanted to leave, even though his wish had been fulfilled, he was a grateful person.

Darnic provided him with tremendous help; without Danic's full support, he wouldn't have been able to complete the Noble Phantasm so easily.

As a Caster, Avicebron knew a little about the history of Hassan of the Arm, so he immediately ran away into the distance. As long as he was far enough away, the opponent's Noble Phantasm would be nullified!

"A hundred appearances!"

Seeing that Avicebron was trying to run away, Hassan of the Arm calmly spoke, while simultaneously unleashing his Noble Phantasm.

"You have truly made us lose face in front of that great man!" Dozens of Hassan of the Hundred Faces emerged from the shadows, blocking Avicebron's path.

"... We're doomed."

The moment Avicebron saw the Hassan of the Hundred Faces, he knew he had to leave.

"This is bad!" Medusa was standing nearby, also saw this scene. She seemed to be planning to come over to help, but Red Hare kept blocking her way, preventing her from reaching out to provide support.

"You actually have the nerve to look at other people."

Red Hare swung its spear, sending the somewhat distracted Medusa flying. Its tone was playful. "If you want to save him, you should show your true skills now. I bet you haven't even used your full strength yet."

Medusa was speechless. She had brought out everything except her Noble Phantasm!
