I Create the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 37

[Even though she's the strongest Saber-class Servant among the seven, she's incredibly weak.]

[Yukino Shimo possesses exceptional magical aptitude, but she hasn't established a circuit with her Servant. As a result, the dignified King of Knights can't even unleash her trump card Noble Phantasm—the A++ ranked Excalibur.]

[But even so, Artoria harbors no complaints.]

[Having descended into the Holy Grail War, she will naturally do her utmost to protect her Master and claim the Holy Grail!]

[Outside the warehouse, Yukino Shimo was still a bit dazed, but she still stated her name.]

["My name is Yukino Shimo, just call me Yukino."]

["Shimo... Master, you can just call me Artoria."]

[The blue-haired King spoke solemnly, her clear eyes showing a slight daze upon hearing the name Shimo.]

[Damn it, I've fallen into this family's hands again...]

[Have I become a family heirloom?]

[After a brief moment of surprise, Artoria regained her composure and took a deep breath to calm herself.]

[I'm probably going to have nightmares tonight.]

[I hope Yukino doesn't end up like Haruno by the final moment of the Holy Grail War.]

[Saying something like, 'By the power of my Command Spells, I will destroy the Holy Grail'...]

[But soon, sensing two unfamiliar presences rapidly approaching, the blue-haired King's gaze sharpened.]

[Did my noisy actions attract the attention of Servants lurking in the shadows?]

[Instantly, this King of Knights turned to face her Master, her expression grave. "Yukino, stay here and don't move. I'll deal with the enemy."]

["Huh?!"]

[Watching the blonde girl disappear in an instant, Yukino was quite bewildered.]

[But her stubborn sense of justice wouldn't let her stand idly by, and she quickly followed.]

"That's a lot of information."

In the Sky Screen world, Haruno Shimo glanced sideways in surprise.

She, from a parallel world, not only participated in the previous Holy Grail War.

She also seemed to have been the sole victor.

But according to Saber, she actually destroyed the Holy Grail that was within her grasp?

That was the omnipotent cup that could grant any wish!

Could there be another hidden truth to this Holy Grail War?

However, thinking about how her parallel world self had partnered with King Arthur.

Haruno couldn't help but smile, her lips curling upwards.

What an honor...

"It's a shame that the King Arthur of this Holy Grail War isn't in her prime."

The petite girl in the blue bow dress sighed.

As a Japanese person with foreign ancestry, Meiko Honma naturally had a good impression of King Arthur.

She was really looking forward to Artoria's magnificent performance, crushing the Holy Grail War with her holy sword!

"I agree!"

Beside her, world-famous singer Luo Tianyi nodded, her expression somewhat regretful.

"I agree too."

Her good friend, Hatsune Miku, with her green twin-tails, also sighed.

The Sky Screen's image shifted again, the perspective changing, sparks flying.

[In a dark alley, a fierce battle suddenly erupted!]

["Rumble...!!"]

[The white-clothed noble chuckled helplessly, throwing countless magic gems while reinforcing his body with magic, desperately dodging towards the path of survival.]

[However, the imposing Holy King was relentless.]

[Her gaze was sharp, and wielding an invisible sword enveloped by the Wind King Barrier, she unleashed thousands of attacks in an instant, yet they were all narrowly dodged by the opponent.]

["I surrender, I surrender~."]

[Luo Shu raised his hands with a flourish, his smile somewhat nonchalant.]

[However, as everyone knows, the King of Knights is never merciful.]

[Artoria tightened her grip on her sword hilt, contemplating retracting her attack.]

[Her expression was serious. "You have Command Spells on your wrist, so you must also be a participant in the Holy Grail War. If you voluntarily withdraw, I will naturally let you go."]

"Clang—!!"

Suddenly, two flashes of blade light struck, causing the King of Knights' pupils to contract sharply as she raised her sword to defend.

In an instant, a white-haired female Heroic Spirit stood before Luo Shu.

Archer, clad in black, observed the battle. Upon seeing the petite figure behind Saber, she let out a cold laugh and taunted, "Shimo Yukino, is this how you treat your savior?"

Hearing this, Saber's expression turned confused.

She turned to Yukino for instructions.

"Savior... Could it be?!"

Shimo Yukino gasped and quickly pulled at the gemstone necklace around her fair neck. This was the primary reason she had survived Medusa's attack.

The young girl bit her lower lip, scrutinizing Luo Shu. Soon, she spotted the familiar moon-white hem of his clothing.

"Senpai Luo, I'm sorry..."

Yukino lowered her head in shame.

She hadn't stopped Artoria just now and had nearly made a grave mistake.

Luo Shu, however, didn't seem to mind, offering a casual smile. "It's fine. This isn't the place to talk. My church is quite large, you can come take a look, and I can explain the Holy Grail War to you."

"Really?!"

The girl was stunned.

"Yukino!"

The King of Knights frowned. If this person harbored ill intentions towards her Master, he might very well lure Yukino into a magical formation.

Based on her experience in the last Holy Grail War, such a thing was highly likely to happen.

At that point, no matter how valiant she was in battle, it would be difficult to protect Yukino's life.

"...I believe in Senpai Luo. Since he saved me, he shouldn't kill me."

The young girl looked up at her Servant, speaking with a serious and resolute tone.

"Alright, I'll do my best to protect you."

The King of Knights sighed.

This Master is really difficult to handle...

If it were the despicable and shameless Haruno, she'd be blowing up buildings by now.

"Hm?"

Outside the Sky Screen, Haruno scratched her head in confusion upon hearing Artoria's thoughts.

What exactly had she done in the last Holy Grail War to make the great King Arthur remember her so fondly?

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my senior."

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Luo Shu's eyes as he said this calmly.

She was the adjudicator for this Holy Grail War. With her Command Spells, it was most fitting for her to explain the rules of the Holy Grail War to Yukino.

Yukino nodded, while Artoria stood guard beside her with a vigilant expression.

Under Archer's displeased gaze, the figures of the group gradually disappeared.

The air was still filled with her resentful grumbling: "Die for your ideals, idiot."

It seemed this white-haired female Heroic Spirit was quite unhappy with Shimo Yukino.

Approximately several minutes later.

This devastated land welcomed two more uninvited guests.

The former was clad in a form-fitting blue suit that accentuated his firm muscles, while the latter was a small-mustached detective, his expression grave and serious.

They were Cú Chulainn, the hero from Celtic Mythology, and his Master.

"We're late..."

Kogoro Mori lit a cigarette and sighed.

Cú Chulainn squatted down, amplified his senses with Rune Magic, and sniffed gently.

He soon detected traces.

He stood up, a look of regret on his face. "Multiple Servants have fought here. If we had arrived a bit earlier, we could have had a good fight."

Kogoro Mori said helplessly, "You really are a battle maniac."

Cú Chulainn grinned heartily. "Haha, after all, this is the only thing that brings me joy..."

"Who's there?!"

His words abruptly stopped as his gaze sharpened, and he looked up at the sky.

There was nothing there, yet Cú Chulainn inexplicably felt a sense of being watched. Angrily, he hurled his Magic Spear.

A blood-red streak of light cut across the sky.

"Crack—."

It sounded like something had shattered.

That disgusting feeling of being watched vanished along with it.

"A petty trick."

Cú Chulainn sneered coldly.

Facing the sudden development, the mustachioed detective asked in surprise, "Lancer, did you find something?"

"This kind of method belongs to a Servant of the Caster Class."

Cú Chulainn nodded, stating his analysis.

"...It's already begun, the perilous Holy Grail War."

Mori Kogoro said with some emotion, "Let's go, this place has become a vortex."

"I thought you'd have me pursue the trail."

Cú Chulainn chuckled.

For the safety of his master, he suppressed his desire to fight.

The backs of the two gradually disappeared under the moonlight.

"Brother Dog is so cool!"

Countless people exclaimed, and some began to wonder about Caster's identity.

Ryudō Temple, underground magic array.

Countless torches were planted among the statues on either side, casting a faint glow.
