Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

In the end, even Amakusa and the Empress were speechless.

They had only recently received news of their Master's death, and based on the principle of "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," they released the video so brazenly. But the problem is that the cause of the Master's death in this video looks exactly like poison!

Not to mention that distinctive female voice; even if all the female Servants present were to imitate it, none could utter murderous words with such an innocent and matter-of-fact tone.

Only the Empress, the Empress known for her poisons and deceit, could so cruelly take everything from a person.

In summary--

"Is that so, Father? It seems you've become quite confident." Achilles' voice calmed down, not with forgiveness, but like a storm brewing thunder, slowly swirling.

A murderous aura gradually filled the chapel.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..." Amakusa was also helpless. He never expected such a coincidence.

No, is this really just a coincidence?

Suddenly realizing something, he looked up at Shuoyue, but Shuoyue was completely unaware, simply looking down as if deep in thought.

Is it not the new moon? Or does he not intend to reveal himself now?

Amakusa frowned. His revelation had no effect whatsoever. The new moon was like a black hole, always shielding him from his probing—which was why he was always suspicious of this Clock Tower Servant.

Upon closer reflection, Shuoyue's every move was under his and the Empress's surveillance. Even if he did find an opportunity to act, he shouldn't have used poison.

So, who did this?

When the grass was in trouble, the moon was also deep in thought.

It's not about thinking about the Master's mysterious death, because the murderer is him—to be precise, Jack the Ripper.

With the skills of 'murder in the fog' and 'information erasure', Jack is a natural-born assassin. For these magicians who have long been deprived of their ability to move, it is as simple as slaughtering pigs and sheep. The key point is that even if some information is leaked, it can be disguised because of 'information erasure'.

As for why it was poisoning... Learn about the London smog, a product of an ancient method refined in 1988, which is foul-smelling, toxic, and deadly.

Jack's assassination was successful. All the Red Team's Masters died, and the Command Seals did not fall into Amakusa's hands. The Red Team's forces collapsed. Karna, Achilles, Atalanta—even these three famous heroes could only helplessly dissipate after losing their contracts.

With the balance of power achieved, it's time for the Blue Team to reveal their true colors...

"Wait a moment, Achilles."

Chiron patted his disciple on the shoulder and handed him three vials of reagents, which Achilles accepted.

"This is?"

"The spiritual veins from Romania should be enough to sustain your needs." Having completed the crafting process using the spiritual veins extracted after Vlad III's death, the Great Sage smiled and said, "Remember, you must repay it."

The distant Shuoyue nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Danic, Vlad III, and Chiron—it was those three who did it again!

For Servants to maintain their existence, their Masters need to provide them with magical energy. Conversely, as long as magical energy is continuously provided, Servants can continue to exist even without a Master, just like the 'Masterless Servants' in FSR.

Coincidentally, in order to strengthen Vlad III, Danic brought up the spiritual veins of Romania, so even though they were in the Hanging Gardens, Achilles and the others could still receive the spiritual veins and use them to restore their power.

Unstoppable. Once Shuoyue makes a move, Achilles and his group still have the strength to kill him and then revive him at full health.

Unexpected variables... Shuoyue sighed, but she didn't have much regret. As long as the Blue Team remained hidden in the shadows, no matter how the Black and Red teams fought to the death, it would be to their advantage.

"Thank you, teacher!" On the other side, Achilles, Atalanta, and Karna had all received the spiritual veins. They moved their heels and limbs and said to Chiron with a grin, "Since I am a follower, I naturally have nothing of value. I will repay this kindness with my spear and my chariot!"

Upon hearing this, Chiron smiled as expected, and Astolfo pumped his fist in excitement.

Achilles's implication was that he was joining the Black side and becoming an enemy of the Red side.

With him leading the way, Atalanta, who was also unhappy with the Empress, opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly turned to look at Shuoyue: "What... do you plan to do?"

Will this young man, who came representing the Clock Tower, continue to stay on the Red Team, the one that killed the Master?

Under Amakusa's anxious gaze, Sakugetsu's eyes flickered slightly, and she decisively abandoned him: "How could that be? Since Crimson and her Master are suspected of killing members of the Clock Tower, and the mastermind behind the Thousand World Tree's rebellion, Darnic, has been executed, then my next target for attack has naturally changed."

“Then I will go with you,” Atalanta readily agreed.

For a time, among the Servants who had lost their Masters, only Karna remained undecided.

"If it's you, you should understand that I'm not lying." Amakusa pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope as she looked at Karna.

With the skill 'The Insight of the Poor', Karna is the least likely to betray the group.

Even so, the hero who offered his charity still shook his head slightly, refusing to respond to Amakusa's expectations: "Indeed, your words are not a lie, but the Master did die in the Sky Garden. Until the real culprit is found, I will also leave the Red Team."

The situation has now been completely reversed. Achilles, Atalanta, Karna, Mordred, and the new moon have all joined the black side. With the blue side continuing to lie low, the red side is left with only Shakespeare, the Empress, and Amakusa.

There is an overwhelming disparity in combat strength, but even if the Blue Team were to join forces with the Red Team, they would not be able to completely defeat the Black Team. Moreover, there is no doubt that Joan of Arc has always stood against the Blue Team from the very beginning...

Moreover, he also felt that he was drifting further and further away from Artoria. As a judge, Ahoge was destined not to abandon everything to help Sakumoku... and once the two judges joined forces, even Sakumoku would find it quite troublesome.

What's more, there are still miscellaneous matters that haven't been dealt with properly, such as Little Jack, and for example... Mordred.

Quickly weighing the gains and losses in her mind, before the sky began to fall, Shuoyue finally picked up the biggest chip and placed it on the red side.

Artoria shuddered, glanced at Sakuyue, and began to walk forward, standing next to Amakusa under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

"Convey my Master's message—" Artoria raised her eyes expressionlessly, ignoring Mordred who stiffened behind her, her sharp gaze sweeping over her former 'comrades'.

"We, the Osares, follow only the Holy Grail. Wherever the Holy Grail is, that is where we are."

The Holy Grail, which the Empress had brought into the Hanging Gardens, was right behind Artoria, gleaming with a cold golden light.

"It is regrettable, but the Osare clan has chosen to leave the World Tree once again."

Meanwhile, in the collapsed fortress of Mirenia, Avisbro, wearing a golden mask, reached out and took the well-preserved magician's heart from Rokudou Reika.

"Let's begin," Lingxia said with a bright smile, completely unconcerned about the conflict in the sky garden, "to realize your dream."

"Hmm." Avisbro responded dully, his heart pounding, hot blood coursing through his body, almost setting him ablaze.

His ideals and his obsessions, at this moment, finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.

I did consider letting Karna and the others leave the story... but considering that several side quests haven't been completed, I can't just end it hastily. I can only try to speed things up as much as possible (laughing and crying).

Chapter 484 Bashium, Saintess and Saint, Primordial Giant (5,000-word long chapter)

What broke the stalemate in the rooftop garden was a red lightning bolt.

"what?"

All the Servants were taken aback by this unexpected attack, but Artoria was not surprised at all. With a slight shift in her footing, she dodged the petite knight who rushed towards her like a whirlwind. Crimson Lightning danced across her greatsword, and the sword strike that seemed capable of cleaving in two was blocked by the Holy Lance.

"Red!"

I see."

Amakusa immediately understood, and looked at the arrogant rebellious knight with a wry smile.

"Is it because of your father, King Arthur?"

"You are not allowed to say that name!" The crimson lightning grew even more violent. Mordred leaped backward to dodge the gunshot, landing at the front of the black team, pointing his longsword at the young priest with a fierce aura.

"And are you an idiot! You're the ones who betrayed me! Didn't you try to kill my Master with your treacherous schemes? From that moment on, you became my enemies!"

Accompanied by this domineering declaration, a slash that traced an arc flashed across the chapel. As if drawing a dividing line, this attack was deflected by Artoria's holy sword, causing severe damage to the floor and filling the surrounding area with countless wood chips and stone fragments.

"I think King Arthur was senile when he chose to join you. I'm not like her!"

"You old fool..." Artoria's brow twitched, and her holy blue eyes pierced through the dust and mist as she looked down at Mordred from her elevated position (her ahoge in her released form gave her a height advantage).

Bright, dazzling blonde hair, wild eyes, and—a fearless smile.

It wasn't just out of spite, but rather after fully realizing the implications, that I chose to confront her directly.

Such a move undoubtedly pleased Artoria, and in return for that satisfaction, her fighting spirit quickly soared.

Holding a gun in his right hand and gripping the hilt of a sword at his waist with his left, the legendary King Arthur stands tall and proud, radiating brilliance.

"Leaving aside the fact that the priest is only a suspect and not a conclusive case, my actions were in accordance with my Master's orders and the loyalty of a knight... Since you have already raised your sword against me, it means you are prepared for this, Lord Mordred?"

The heroes present held their breath, leaving the stage to the legends and the destroyer of legends to clash once more. Hearing Artoria's words, Mordred's smile widened.

"Of course, the only one who can defeat you is me, Mordred!"

"Oh? A knight who was beaten badly on the Romanian battlefield dares to raise his weapon against me?"

As their fighting spirits clashed, Artoria couldn't help but step forward. As if lighting a fuse, Mordred shouted, "Try it and you'll see!" and then lunged at her father with her sword raised!

"Let's go too, and reclaim the Holy Grail!" Vlad III was dead, and Chiron, the strategist of the Black faction, temporarily took his place. Seeing that the two rivals of Britain had begun to fight, the Black faction also launched a charge forward without hesitation.

Take advantage of the Red team's split to reclaim the Holy Grail!

At this moment, Artoria was engaged in battle with Mordred. The Empress's magical beasts only hindered Astolfo and Atalanta's progress, while Achilles and Siegfried nimbly dodged the attacks and handed Amakusa their spears and swords!

"Don't try to succeed!"

Within the courtyard, Semiramis's control was already top-notch, and especially when she was filled with rage, her casting speed became even faster:

"Abundance, manifestation!"

With just two incantations, a grand magic was constructed, and the being born from the magic circle was a great monster that surpassed the divine fish.

Mesopotamian mythology mentions that Tiamat, the primordial mother goddess who gave birth to the gods, also created beings that opposed the gods who rebelled against her—the eleven beasts.

Now, the Empress's grand magic will manifest one of them.

That was Bashium, a terrifying serpent said to have been created from the sea, possessing two brightly colored horns and forelimbs, and a rank no less than that of the Dragon God. Its head was emerging from the depths of darkness. Its fangs were infused with a venom more potent than that of the Hydra, capable of causing fatal wounds even with a mere graze; it was a terrifying substance that even the Empress dared not use lightly.

"Let me see you writhing in rage, you traitors!!"

The creations of the gods inherently possess divinity, and even bodies bathed in dragon blood cannot resist the invasion of toxins. Whether the two heroes are terrified and wildly slash with their swords or flee in disarray, in any case, these two must not be allowed to return alive.

"Varied!"

"It has such power!"

Achilles and Siegfried underestimated the Empress's power. Startled, they retreated, dodging the serpent's lashes and venomous fangs, but Bashium opened its abyssal maw and spewed forth a massive amount of deadly venom—

"Burn the heavens, cover the earth!"

The fire of the sun god burned away the venom, and the foul smell was dispelled by a black robe. The young man looked at the huge and ferocious son of Tiamat, his eyes flashing with an iridescent blue excitement.

"Transformation of the Boundless Realms: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!"

The spear pierced his body, seizing the thin line of death hidden within his flesh. Amidst the giant serpent's agonizing screams, a large chunk of flesh was ripped off by Shuoyue. He even raised his left hand, the sword of Zababa, the god of war from Mesopotamian mythology, poised to strike.

When dealing with massive monsters, it's definitely more satisfying to use a greatsword!

Just as Shuoyue was about to deliver the fatal blow, the Sky Garden began to tremble violently. The tremor did not come from inside the garden, but from the ground not far away, from the Black Faction's Mirenia Fortress!
