I Forge the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 25

"Cheongsams, nurses, uniform temptation... all kinds of girls are available!"

"This wonderful life is simply too amazing!"

"I finally climbed out of hell, so I naturally have to enjoy it!"

"However, he didn't participate in the Holy Grail War to make his grandfather immortal."

"Matou Shinji's face turned cold, and he sneered."

"The moment he grasped the Almighty Cup, he would make a wish to become a god!"

"At that time, it would be his turn to torment his grandfather."

As scene after scene of Matou Shinji's life flashed by.

The exhilarating visuals made countless men's envious eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Damn, is this the life of a human-shaped self-propelled artillery?"

"Brother Shin, you're amazing, even Canadian electric eels can't compare to you!"

"Being this awesome will only ruin you!"

"Damn it... I'm so envious I'm grinding my molars and swallowing my frustration."

"Damn, I wish I could have this treatment."

"Upstairs, want to try a seven-day tour of the insect den?"

"Brother Shin's happy house (smirk)."

"Let alone seven days, I'd probably break down in one."

"Eat bitterness to become superior, right?"

"I know the Ito Shinji in our world, he was just a timid little boy, I didn't expect him to be so badass when he went dark."

"Classic dark transformation, ten times stronger."

Amidst the joyful banter of the crowd, the screen gradually dimmed.

As usual, the Rider Class Servant's status panel appeared.

[Height/Weight: 172cm·57kg]

[Magic: A]

[Luck: E]

[Class Skills—Magic Resistance: B]

[Can nullify magic below three verses of chanting. Even great magic and ritualistic spells will have difficulty harming her.]

[Riding: A+]

[Incredible Riding ability, allowing her to easily tame all sorts of divine beasts and mythical creatures. She can even expertly control supersonic fighter jets, but cannot tame dragon-kind.]

(Due to her exceptionally strong Riding ability, using the Noble Phantasm "Bellerophon" will temporarily cause her mount, Pegasus, to have a significant increase in all stats.)

[Personal Skills—Mystic Eyes: A]

[—The highest level of Petrifying Magic Eye.]

[Depending on the target's Magic Resistance, different debuff bonuses will be applied.]

(Targets with Magic Resistance below C will be petrified unconditionally.)

(Targets with Magic Resistance B will have a certain degree of resistance.)

(Targets with Magic Resistance A are highly unlikely to be petrified, but their physical functions will be significantly impaired.)

[Independent Action: C]

[The ability to act independently for a time even if the Master's magic supply is interrupted.]

[Monstrous Strength: B]

[Type: Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Range: ?]

[Maximum Targets: 1]

[Seals the opponent's will within Rider's heart, allowing for domination.]

(A Noble Phantasm primarily used to seal Mystic Eyes, its effectiveness is not strong.)

[Blood Fort Andromeda]

[Rank: B]

[Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Range: 10~40]

[Maximum Targets: 500]

[A barrier technique that requires prior preparation, it can slightly drain the vitality of humans within its area.]

[However, upon formal activation, humans within the barrier will be rapidly dissolved.]

(This is a barrier created by Medusa to gather blood more efficiently for absorbing mana, though it's somewhat lacking in combat effectiveness.)

[Bellerophon]

[Rank: A+]

[Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Range: 2~50]

[Maximum Targets: 300]

[Summons the divine phantom beast Pegasus, crushing the target with its ultra-high-speed charge!]

"Holy crap!"

Countless people gasped, their faces filled with shock.

The powerful double A-rank stats appeared for the first time, nearly blinding everyone.

Compared to the three Knight-class Servants, was Rider actually stronger?

This was not only due to Medusa's own high strength but also seemed related to Matou Shinji's magic circuits.

Could it be that Matou Shinji was going to be the victor of the Fifth Holy Grail War?

A faint sky screen flickered, and the scene concerning the Berserker team slowly surfaced.

31. The Magic Tyrant, the Fearsome King of Purge!

[One year ago, at the Einzbern stronghold.]

[The biting cold of winter drifted, and pure white snow covered the ancient castle.]

[Inside the castle, the emptiness and darkness were so profound it was chilling.]

[A young girl from an ancient mage family knelt on the ground in abject fear, terror consuming her entire body, fine beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.]

[Fear...]

[Trembling...]

[Despair...]

[At this moment, her extreme confidence in her own beauty, the carefully prepared speech before arriving at the Einzbern family, the substantial bargaining chips in her hands...]

[All seemed to have become a humorous joke.]

[Her mind went blank, unable to think...]

[The moment she saw that brutal figure, she understood she was a pawn.]

[The girl lowered her head; the figure seated at the very front of the round table lingered in her mind like a nightmare, refusing to fade.]

[On the throne, the King of Purge looked down at her with a hearty smile.]

["Speak, what is your purpose?"]

["I, I want to form an alliance with you to gain tactical support from the Einzberns."]

[She prostrated herself on the ground, her throat trembling as if her soul had frozen.]

[The man pondered for a moment, then descended from the throne, took out a silver coin from his hand, and smiled, "A plea for help from the Orphis Clan? I agree."]

["Thank you… Thank you!!"]

[She was first stunned, then choked with emotion, tears flowing in disbelief as she kowtowed repeatedly.]

[Swish.]

[In the air, the sound of a coin spinning at high speed suddenly appeared.]

[Accompanied by the descent of a beautiful light.]

[The girl caught it subconsciously.]

[—It was the back.]

[She choked, staring blankly upwards, completely frozen.]

["Untrustworthy people again..."]

[The king of tyrannical dictatorship said indifferently, "Dispose of her, Berserker."]

["Roar!!"]

[Beside the King of Purge, a disheveled, ferocious giant roared, emanating an aura of tyranny.]

[He raised his stone axe and, under the girl's despairing gaze, brought it down with a sudden chop.]

["RUMBLE...!!"]

[Accompanied by the shockwave of air being compressed and detonated, the entire magnificent Einzbern Castle slowly collapsed.]

[Ruins, amidst countless broken walls and debris, a beautiful corpse, cut in two, lay in a pool of blood.]

[The man calmly watched everything unfold.]

At this moment, the entire world was dead silent.

Various countries.

Countless peoples.

Countless people were stunned, staring blankly at the bloody and brutal Sky Screen.

Chiba City, Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

"Deciding someone's life with just a coin toss..."

"What does he think of life!!"
