The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Although it failed, it only alerted Manshu at most; Odin's real plan was yet to come. 4

However, is she the goddess of Venus? Although some Norse gods were later associated with the stars.

Freya corresponds to Venus. Although she is the goddess of love and beauty, she also wears full armor and leads the Valkyries to the battlefield to select warriors, taking half of them with her.

Freya is involved in the realm of war, and may even appear as a Valkyrie. 2.

After all, most of the Norse gods are considered to be of high moral character, but if Freya were to stand in their way, it probably wouldn't be much of a trial.

Moreover, when Venus's goddess is mentioned here, another goddess is more likely to come to mind, but if she were to appear, what would follow is quite predictable.

I wonder which one I'll meet. Actually, Freya occasionally connects with Isis. (v)

Ultimately, the reason is that the title "Goddess of Venus" is too broad, and there are simply too many names that could be mentioned.

However, whoever it is, they are the ones we must overcome, the obstacles we must cross.

Manjusaka only lingered there briefly. After the cub was defeated, the Holy Grail returned to its original state, just as it had been before. The smaller Grail rested steadily before the larger Grail, and all that was needed was to proceed and complete the ritual.

Although the Holy Grail had only received five souls at this moment, it still met the minimum requirements for activation. However, this held no appeal for Manjusaka, so he set everything aside for the time being and returned upwards.

"It seems the delay was due to the Lion Goddess. Now it's time to decide the victor of this Holy Grail War, even though it's an opponent so powerful it's almost despair-inducing."

Arash, who possessed the ability to see far, had been observing the movements below from above. When he saw Manju flying upwards, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.

"However, this journey has been very rewarding. Even in the era when the gods still left their mark, it would have been impossible to see such a sight."

"After all, it's not every day you get the chance to see a beast emerge. If this thing were to be fully conceived, it would definitely swallow the entire city of Tokyo whole."

As for whether it can truly destroy everything humanity has, that's not so easy to say.

Manshu returned quickly from below, arriving just as Arash was making his remark.

"This is quite an achievement, we might even have saved the world, just thinking about it makes me want to have a few more drinks."

Arash's face was full of smiles, and his joy and excitement were palpable.

"There's no need to endure it. This is indeed something to celebrate. The anomalies that occurred in the Holy Grail War have been eliminated, and we still have enough time to complete this Holy Grail War."

Manshu didn't think twice and said directly that he was about to leave to drink and make merry with Arash until dawn.

"Honestly, you actually brought up such a tempting offer at this time. I barely managed to maintain my fighting spirit to settle this with you."

Arash smiled and shook his head.

"We can't just end this so hastily, can we? Or should we address this issue first?"

Manshu pointed to the bound figure on the ground and said, "It's a sin."

The girl had not yet woken up and remained unconscious. It was unclear whether this was due to Manshu using too much force or the effect of the chains themselves.

"Isn't this your spoils of war? Of course, it's up to you to deal with it. The person over there has no objection, so why do you need to ask me?"

Arash first pointed to the nearby Sajo Hiroki, then spread his hands to indicate that the matter had nothing to do with him.

"You really don't need to go out for drinks to celebrate. How can you not even lend a hand with something as small as this?"

Manju turned his head away, clicked his tongue, took two steps to Sajō Aika, reached out and lifted her up by the chain.

"Hey, this is no small matter no matter how you look at it, only you could say that."

Arash still looked innocent as he spoke, but immediately after speaking, he turned his head to look at the cave entrance leading here.

"Oh, Saber, you're a little late."

"Indeed, it was a bit late for the hero to save the damsel in distress, although it can hardly be called that at all."

Manju looked at the figure walking out of the passage, put down the sword he was holding, and drew Norton.

"So, you late knight, what do you intend to do?"

Manju asked Sabe.

"Is Ayaka alright now? Then I really am a knight who arrived late, a guy who was held back by his desires."

Saber didn't look at Manjusaka and Arash at first, but instead looked for Ayaka Sajou in Hiroki Sajou's arms.

Saber breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ayaka Sajou sleeping peacefully in Hiroki Sajou's arms.

"Tch, then that's no fun at all."

Manju put down the Norton sword in disappointment, and then picked up Sajou Aika instead.

"However, aren't you going to consider saving your Master?"

"This is what I'm going to do next."

Saber raised his head and stared directly at Manjusaka, drawing his golden holy sword and radiating a soaring fighting spirit.

“Quite good, Saber. She has eliminated any unnecessary confusion and hesitation. In the past, she could be considered a perfect enemy.”

Manshu said with a hint of helplessness, but still showed joy.

"Then I will not dwell on your master's problems, but instead, I will act as a knight determined to save the princess and charge at the evil dragon, Saber."

Even after enjoying the final meal, dessert is still something you can't give up.

Manju released his magic to fix Sajou Aika to the side, and raised Norton's sword again.

"Archer, come on over. This is the last chance. Let's save the celebratory drinks for next time."

When Manju raises his sword, it's never aimed at just one person, and the next time is certainly not an exaggeration.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Farewell

"My friend, you're as unpredictable as ever, but you always manage to come up with options that I can't refuse, so I have no choice but to reluctantly agree."

Arash patted his neck and raised the crimson longbow he was holding.

As he spoke, he took a step forward, his eyes, which could see through distances, understand people's hearts, and even capture the future, staring at Manshu with unprecedented seriousness.

"Don't forget to save the wine for the next celebration. I think you'll keep your promise, brother."

However, before the battle began, Arash hadn't forgotten about this, emphasizing his words as a reminder.

"You..."

Manju shook his head helplessly, raising his sword and pointing it at Arash with a wry smile.

"Rest assured, the promises I make will not be false in the slightest, and there will be no possibility of them being left unfulfilled."

"Since I've promised a celebratory drink, there will surely be a time when we can drink together again. If Rider were still here, he would surely rebuke you for daring to question whether the Almighty Pharaoh is incapable of anything."

Although Manjushri did not truly see the future that was to come, his authoritative and wise eyes could only see the scenery of this world.

But in the final conversation with Osmandis, it might have been the destiny revealed by the god Thoth, or it might have simply been a premonition.

Manju was certain that he would have the chance to meet the god-king of the hot sands again, just as he would have the chance to meet the Persian hero again.

Although it is unclear when that happened, it must have already been on its way.

Of course, it is also possible that it did not exist before, but at the moment Manjus became certain, fate was naturally set on the agenda.

"Naturally, I can only ask questions with peace of mind now that the Sun King is gone. Otherwise, I would have to think carefully about what to say, as I can't stand the noise."

Arash said matter-of-factly, his eyes revealing no falsehood.

"That's true. You haven't asked any unnecessary questions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to chat with you so easily."

However, it seems it's time to stop here; if it continues, the knights over there might get impatient.

Saber remained in a fighting stance; his principles prevented him from interrupting the two who were talking, so he could only wait patiently.

Fortunately, Saber was well-mannered and patiently waited there without much change in her expression.

“Berserker, you have already captured my Master, yet you are still willing to accept my challenge. Waiting a little while won’t hurt.”

Saber answered seriously, his expression solemn, indicating he was fully prepared.

"Then let's not waste any more time. Forget about probing and let's go straight for a decisive blow to decide the real victory."

Manshu also put away the smile on his face, raised the Norton sword in his hand high, and loudly proclaimed to the two people in front of him.

A surge of powerful magic coursed through Manjusaka's hands, bringing with it the radiance of the sun capable of incinerating everything.

"You really are thinking of us. You probably only have one chance to take down this guy."

"Don't feel sorry for Elsa. You came here to participate in the Holy Grail War precisely to fulfill your own wish. Now is the final battle to seize the Holy Grail. It's time to unleash my Noble Phantasm; it's a true trump card."

Arash let out a hearty laugh, drew back the bowstring of the crimson longbow, and addressed his Master.

There's no need to elaborate on Arash's Noble Phantasm; it simply recreates the final scene of Arash's heroic tale.

At the end of the sixty-year war between Persia and Turku, in an attempt to end the long war between the two countries, Arras fired an arrow that defied human comprehension.

That arrow cleaved the earth, dividing the border between the two countries, and Arash paid the price with his life.

Now, the crimson greatbow is fully drawn in Arash's hands, awaiting only the final command to offer up the end.

But Elsa hesitated slightly at this moment. Although the time they spent together was not long, it was enough to leave behind something that could be considered a bond.

Elsa kept her eyes down, unable to look up at the hero even though he wasn't in front of her.

"It's all up to you, Elsa. After this battle, you will continue your life."

Arash did not offer any guidance; she simply waited, waiting for her Master to decide her own future.

"Archer... fight your final battle with all your might..."

Elsa's voice soon followed the contract, accompanied by an incredible amount of magical power.

The three Command Seals that have been preserved to this day are all used, bringing with them the command to unleash Noble Phantasms and give it their all.

"I understand, thank you, my Master."

Arash smiled with joy and pride, and obeyed the command, drawing the bow beyond its limit.

While feeling the magical power surging through her body, she wove a prayer to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

"The most holy and true God of Ruyang!"

O Radiant God, who bestows wisdom, dignity, and strength!

This was the second time Arash had recited these words. The first time was on the land of Persia, where the noble yet illusory Age of Gods had ended and transformed into the human world.

Its 汃∷: Wu⑦ ('Lu⒍]±毶]◇Si4 February group: As the direct descendant of the brave warrior who slayed the evil dragon, the archers under the command of the great Emperor Menucheher, used to embellish the prayers that marked the end of his life.

Please witness my sincerity, my conviction, and the extent of my power.
