The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

It was Thor who stopped Loki just as he was about to leap over the net, which ultimately led to Loki's capture and his suffering the wrath of the gods. ④

And the warrior, attempting to escape, was unsurprisingly stopped by Thor. ②

A bolt of lightning struck directly down from the sky, its target the edge of the thrown net.

"Thor can't stop me, much less the sword in my hand."

The warrior faced Thor's divine power without fear, and simply spoke lightly.

And indeed, the lightning that descended from the sky was split in two by the sword.

But it did delay the soldier, as the net bound half of his body and wrapped around his legs.

Without giving it much thought, Manshu threw out the rope he had prepared, binding the enemy whose movements were hindered.

"It seems that Thor has stopped you after all, and it's time for your so-called blessing song to stop. Now you shall fall into the kingdom of the dead."

These prepared tools were originally intended to target individuals, and the other party happened to run into them, making it difficult to resist under this series of traps.

Manshu wasn't going to give his enemies any more chances, so he swung his sword down directly.

No matter what, it would take the bound soldier a second or two to break free of the chains.

Even if he were Fenrir, the time it took him to break free of the eight chains would have been enough for Manjushri to unleash his fiery blaze and incinerate him completely.

Manju held back no effort, and simply threw out all the magic power he had recovered in that short time.

The surging magic transformed into a sea of ​​flames, once again demonstrating the power of this Branch of Destruction.

The surging magic struck the warrior bound in the sky directly. Even an ordinary god would find it difficult to withstand the attack without any resistance.

However, things did not go as Manju had planned.

After the books were sold, another flame fell directly from the sky.

The flames unleashed by the police station were directly cleaved in two, along with the chains and nets binding the soldier.

"Unfortunately, my fate is far from over; the songs my mother gave me still linger in my ears."

The threads woven by the goddess of fate are already tangled; to kill me, at least nine threads would need to be severed. But you no longer have that chance; prepare to crumble.

"Your power is far less than that of the heavens and the Sun King before you, and the power of Thor is of no use to your destiny."

⑤The man's voice remained indifferent as the eternal fire descended from the sky, shattering all shackles and constraints.

7. How could Manshu possibly have known the other party's identity by now? Perhaps she should have known much earlier.

Now, watching the Lefni Fire fall from the sky, Manju seems to hear the nine incantation songs lingering in the ears of the warriors ahead.

Liu: "If it were you, you wouldn't need to fear Thor's power. After all, you killed Hafdan, the son of Thor, and you also defeated Thor."

"I just didn't expect to see you here, King Svepdager of Norway, or should I call you Shkiel, friend of Frey?"

Sisvipdag can be considered one of the greatest heroes in the Norse epics.

4. His story is recorded in the Edaswipdag Song, the Schenian Song, the Danes' Deeds, and the Teutonic Myth, making him undoubtedly the greatest hero in the Teutonic Myth.

2 The fire of Lephnis that was just shown is one of the nine incantation songs that his mother Gloria sang as a gift.

The nine spells brought nine blessings, each corresponding to a different ability, so chains and restraints could never bind him.

"Because there's nothing to hide about this. After all, to defeat you, who also wields the sword of victory, I must reveal my true colors."

Swipdag remained indifferent as he raised the demonic sword in his hand, displaying the same aura as the sword in Manshu's hand.

However, the sword in his hand was the real deal; it was the Victory Sword, kept by Skearil as a gift, and also the Victory Sword that Swipdag had obtained after traversing the Nine Realms and overcoming numerous hardships.

Chapter Twenty-One: Fate

"Is this your true self? Then who exactly are you? You have never given this answer from the beginning until now."

Manju opened his eyes, which were filled with the sun, but at this moment, what flowed in his eyes was not the blazing firelight.

Those were empty eye sockets, as deep and unfathomable as a dark abyss, from which springs gushed forth, transforming into a surface of water reflecting wisdom.

"Although I often forget the wisdom I have given up and rarely use it, it still exists."

Under normal circumstances, Manshu would not use these powers much, since these things seemed so far removed from his own abilities.

Before Sekhmet became his eye, his true eye was sacrificed to recreate the scene of Odin exchanging wisdom for it.

8. "I know where Odin's eyes are, in the glorious well of wisdom, and you should know where my eyes are, for they are there too."

The bait would only allow Manshu to glimpse a clue, at least to see that the warrior standing in front of him was not a normal hero.

4. "Even Mimir's wisdom could not deceive the gods with Hainir's wisdom. Even if one obtains supreme wisdom, it is meaningless if one cannot use it."

3. Swipdag answered in a cold, emotionless voice.

"But in the end, it was Mimir who was beheaded, not Hainir, and he still survived Ragnarok without the help of wisdom."

Ling Manshu simply continued to refute, and then pressed for more information.

"But what about you? Even without using your wisdom to see, I have heard much about Svepdag. I have heard of the son of the elf Owendel, and I have heard of the son of the celestial craftsman Freund, and I know of the servant of Frey, the god of abundance."

Svepdag's name certainly has a lot of stories behind it, perhaps because it is one of the more common names like Helgi and Olaf.

There are indeed many differences and discrepancies between the stories and legends about Svepdag.

“Since you keep asking, how can I not give you an answer? Before you fail, I will tell you that I am Svepdag, the son of Gloria.”

Swipdagg's voice remained unchanged, but after answering, he didn't wait any longer and instead swung down the raised magic sword.

"As expected, it seems you are everyone. You are Frey's friend, the King of Norway, the warrior who defeated Thor, the hero who slew the Son of God..."

Manshu revealed a knowing look and at the same time quickly swung his sword to parry the opponent's attack.

"Even if I knew all this, what good would it do? My only destined nemesis is that man named Hardin. I have no other weaknesses."

Swipdag didn't react further, but simply asked a question in return.

"Perhaps so, but when I think about the identity of the one who created you, and some of your stories, I can imagine how things will turn out."

5. Manju simply gave a strange smile, as if he had seen something for sure.

7. Indeed, something was reflected in his eyes, which were as clear as spring water.

Liu: That was the color of dusk, yet it evoked the depths of the sea.

6. "But you can no longer see it, because today is your sunset. If you still had Gram in your hand, you might still have a chance of winning."

3. Although I don't know why you are able to hold the sword of victory, since you have made this choice, it means that the goddess of fate has guided me to the right path.

"Your sword cannot sever the threads of fate binding me; instead, it will lead you to Valhalla, the land you so yearn for."

(4) Swipdag changed his tone and shouted loudly, and the magic sword in his hand expanded instantly, displaying sparks of victory.

②“My dear friend Frey gave him his divine sword as a gift, which led to the tragic fate of the gods and the final ending of the myth.”

This is not my will, but a predetermined fate, woven into the fabric of destiny. The man named Skearil exists to bring about Ragnarok.

Swipdag narrated calmly, transforming the story he described from myth into reality.

The sword of victory that Manju held in his hand was just like what he had faced before, just like the demonic sword Gram that he had wielded before.

The two demonic swords, sharing the same aura, clashed together. The Victory Sword held by Manshu was engulfed in flames, its entire outer shell instantly destroyed.

"So it was the Sword of Victory that wrapped the shell of your demonic sword, but it wasn't Gram, it was Balmong?"

Swipdag was slightly surprised, but he didn't slow down at all. The residual force after shattering the Sword of Victory still pushed Manshu back more than ten meters.

"This sword is indeed Balmong, but it has been cursed by an evil dragon and turned into a demonic sword."

Manshu didn't deny it, but just smiled and charged forward again, raising his Balqi Mengge 6. (Six. 3●≥4☆㈣々㈡.)

"Berserker is completely at a disadvantage. He hasn't done much. Is it because the battle with Rider has taken too much to handle?"

Arash, not far away, frowned and conjured his crimson greatbow with magic.

"I can't keep watching this. Besides, this Svepdagg doesn't seem like a normal person at all. He's got an eighth Servant."

With seven Servants already appearing, the emergence of another hero is certainly surprising to everyone.

"This is indeed an unusual event. The impact of the extra variables in the ritual on the outcome is difficult to predict. We must contact the person in charge of this war sent by the Holy Church to get a reasonable explanation."

Archer's Master stated that this Holy Grail War, organized by the Church, indeed has significant problems.

However, those who came to participate in this war did indeed have their own desires and found it difficult to refuse the hope that came their way.

So it was still possible to ignore those strange feelings that weren't quite right, but as the war progressed, these strange feelings became harder to suppress.

"Then I'll go stop that Swipdag first."

"Be very careful, for in the Norse hero stories, Svetlana is one who could rival the greatest hero."

“I understand that the Holy Grail did indeed impart this knowledge to me.”

Arash's gentle voice still inspired trust. His Master did not continue speaking, leaving the decision to his Servant.

Meanwhile, Manshu and Svepdag had clashed again.

The demonic sword in Swipdagg's hand, burning with intense flames, looked even more powerful than before.

That divine sword, which brought victory by surpassing everything, destroyed Manju's attack with pure violence.

Manshu, who was simply swinging his sword, was surprisingly completely suppressed in terms of both strength and speed.

The raging flames that brought destruction utterly ravaged the dragon fire that Manju had been wielding, even scorching his sword-wielding arm.

Manshu, holding Balmong, clashed with the Victory Sword in front of him nine times, and Manshu retreated nearly a hundred meters from the sky.

Until the final collision, the peerless demonic sword shattered.

Balmong, which had transformed into a demonic sword, broke apart, the entire sword being severed by the Victory Sword in front of it.

"Does your wisdom foresee this destiny? It seems that the favor of the gods has not yet come upon you at this moment, but the protection of the goddess of fate keeps echoing in my ears."

Fate is unstoppable, even for the dragon-slaying hero. Or did you choose to give up the fight the moment you saw your destiny?

However, this is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, even Odin could not escape His fate, and Valhalla should rightfully retain your name.

With Balmonge cut off, Svepdager's victory seemed assured.

Even the weapon in her hand was broken. How could she possibly fight again?

"Ha, I thought that a hero who could defeat Thor and accomplish the work of killing a god should have exceptional eyesight and wisdom."

I never expected you to still entrust everything to fate, but have you truly understood fate?
