The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

In the midst of a combo attack, they will intentionally damage buildings, causing debris to be ejected.

Although Saber, whose armor was formed by magical energy, would not be harmed by this attack that was not imbued with magic, there were still some fragments mixed in with magic energy.

Therefore, they can only dodge all attacks at high speed, but this completely puts them in the opponent's rhythm, making it difficult to find a real opportunity or launch an effective counterattack.

The rage on the lion's face did not make it lose its reason; instead, it vented its anger with a smart attack.

Perhaps it is necessary to do something; in the mythology, Sekhmet is not a very rational person.

Saber pondered in his heart, recalling the story of the lion god.

The story goes like this: people were spreading rumors in private that the sun god Ra had grown old and weak, and were even plotting a rebellion.

So the great god Ra removed his own eyes and sent Sekhmet to punish those humans.

However, this deity, born from the wrath of a great god, revels in slaughter, and her destruction is so great that even Ra himself cannot control it.

So Ra used pomegranate juice to dye a jug of wine red, making Sekhmet believe it was blood and drink it all, thus getting Sekhmet drunk and stopping her killing.

So, perhaps we should let Sekhmet see blood?

Saber thought this to herself, and then deliberately created an opening, allowing the giant lion to pounce on her with all its might and knock her up.

Saber used the spine of his holy sword as a shield, choosing to block head-on rather than evade.

What a terrifying impact! Although I had seen buildings and trucks crumble like dust in this collision, I only realized how inadequate my previous imagination was after experiencing it firsthand.

Saber immediately released the wind magic contained within the Wind King's Barrier wrapped around the Holy Sword, using the magic to counteract the giant beast's force.

But even that wasn't enough. Saber seemed to have suffered a violent shock all over her body. The sound of metal scraping could be faintly heard. Was that the scream of someone whose bones were breaking?

Saber wasn't planning on actually taking all the impact. If the giant lion used her to smash through a few more concrete walls, the damage would likely go beyond just breaking bones all over her body.

9. A large amount of blood spurted from Saber's mouth, splashing onto the lion's face. Saber slightly turned the direction of the wind released from her sword, deflecting the impact to the side. At the same time, she quickly leaped and released magic from the soles of her boots, directly creating distance.

"What a powerful beast! If it were an ordinary swordsman, it would probably be no match for you."

4. Saber had to admire this, for if she had not fought against such a behemoth more than once on the land of Britain, she would never have been able to fight it.

(8) But the battle should have ended by now, because the person who had been watching from the sidelines arrived.

4. Saber changed her stance, pointing the tip of her sword directly at the giant beast, and officially launched her attack.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wind Blade

The proud giant lion never played games with Saber, retreating within her attack range, and showed no fear even when faced with a sword tip pointing directly at it.

Lin, of course. She is not a knight or a soldier, nor is she an attack chariot. She is extraordinary, like a divine beast in a raging storm.

The sight of blood spilled before her eyes fueled her rage; Sekhmet desperately wanted to tear her enemy apart and let the blood flow freely.

Therefore, Saber also changed her stance. Facing a behemoth far larger than herself, using battlefield swordsmanship techniques meant for humans was by no means an appropriate move.

He stepped wider than usual, lowered his waist deeply, lowered his center of gravity, held the invisible sword with both hands and raised it above his right shoulder, gathering strength throughout his body.

Even the full-body armor made of magic was removed so that he could fully feel the earth beneath his feet.

Saber already knew exactly how to defeat the mysterious behemoth before her.

This is a monster whose claws and teeth are similar to its height, faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than the giant swords and battle axes wielded by tall warriors.

However, Saber has fought against such a ferocious beast more than once.

Whether it be evil dragons, giants, or beasts, all the evil monsters that attempted to destroy Britain perished by her sword.

As if sensing something, the giant lion that Sekhmet had transformed into suddenly retreated and let out a shrill roar.

From the roar, the sun's rays burst forth, and scorching flames flowed from the giant lion's mouth, forming a fiery tornado with the sweeping dust storm as it attacked Saber.

In the story, Sekhmet is the embodiment of the eye of the god Ra, and some stories even claim that she is the embodiment of Ra's flames.

She not only controls war, but also possesses fire and revenge; even the power of the sun can be divided among her.

The exploding flames were the embodiment of the sun, like the intense heat emitted from the solar ship, with the same temperature as the sun's surface.

The flames spewed from the lioness's mouth had the same temperature as the sun, and the fiery tornadoes she created even melted everything around her.

Sensing the danger, the lioness chose to strike first, unleashing this irrational attack.

This attack, wielding the divine power of the sun, melted like a sugar ball in less than a few seconds.

But there was nothing in the very center of the storm.

So, where did Saber go?

Were they charred by flames, scattered by the wind, and vanished without a physical body or spiritual foundation?

No, of course not.

Look closely, right on the lioness's head, that face that was once filled with anger and holiness is now completely empty.

There's now a huge hole there, completely pierced through.

Saber transformed his sword into an arrow nocked on a taut bowstring, piercing the giant beast's head from the front along with the fiery tornado.

The headless lion suddenly collapsed to the ground, raising a considerable cloud of dust.

Now that the massive body had lost its vitality, the laws of physics became apparent, and the falling body shattered the surrounding earth.

“That was a brilliant strike, Saber.”

At some point, Kirei Kotomine appeared nearby, clapping as he emerged from the shadows to congratulate Saber.

Perhaps it was because she sensed this guy's arrival that Saber didn't continue the battle and chose to end it in a way she was familiar with.

"Don't look at me like that. We're allies for now, aren't we? Saber㈨⑷⒏※〕②↑泤&＋毶衫∨%令』物仲※∮qUn：?"

Seeing Saber looking at him suspiciously, Kirei Kotomine shrugged, trying to appear friendly.

"It is still in that state now, but with all this commotion, you've made a wasted trip. I'll have to trouble you to continue your investigation of the Rider master and servant."

Kiritsugu Emiya was not too far away either; he was also on guard against an opponent who might appear from behind him.

Especially the man standing in front of him, someone he couldn't figure out at all.

"It's nothing serious, and besides, I happen to have some leads that I wanted to share with you. Why don't you come over and chat for a bit?"

Kirei Kotomine spoke calmly with an indifferent expression, then waved his hand, putting on a helpful act.

"Really? You didn't mention this in the communication just now."

Kiritsugu Emiya made no move and continued to express his questions.

“I also understand the importance of prioritizing things. You must have something important to tell me if you take the initiative to contact me. The fact that you found a clue can be left for now.”

Kirei Kotomine answered quickly, seemingly having been prepared.

"What you said isn't wrong, but talking here is a bit risky. Let's go back and talk again."

The area around them, which had just been the site of a battle between a man and a beast, had been completely reduced to ruins. The buildings had been melted and broken by the intense heat, leaving nothing to be seen.

“Yes, I’ll go and investigate further along the clues. I’ll visit the Einzbern family’s woods again later.”

Kirei Kotomine showed no sign of discouragement, calmly finished speaking, and then turned and left.

"There's nothing worth lingering here, Saber. Let's go back."

Kiritsugu Emiya waited until Kirei Kotomine disappeared from his sight before turning to Saber and speaking.

"There seem to be some problems."

Saber continued speaking to himself, without sheathing his sword, and instead pointed at the giant lion's corpse lying on the ground.

"Not dead yet?"

"Maybe."

Saber replied somewhat uncertainly, but it wasn't a big deal; she just needed to try.

Saber wields the Star Sword, compressing the whirlwind surrounding the gym before releasing it.

Just before the raging storm was about to crash into the giant lion's body, the headless lion suddenly stood up and used its sharp claws to disperse the storm.

If you walk straight up without realizing this, your vulnerable body will be met with those sharp claws.

The two, who had not taken any precautions, would likely have their bodies torn apart and die easily.

"You're really good at pretending."

Saber raised her sword again, unleashing a massive surge of magical power as she swung it forward.

The giant beast, which had no face, no eyes, and should have no vision at all, swung its powerful claws unerringly at Saber's attack, without any reduction in speed.

The crimson claws suddenly shot out, brimming with the divine power of the sun, unleashing an incredible impact.

Whether Saber is wearing magical armor or not, it would be meaningless in the face of this attack and she would be instantly defeated.

Similarly, the invisible sword in Saber's hand was also spinning at high speed, presenting a cruel dance of blades.

At the same time, the magic power infused with his entire body was released and combined with the Wind King's barrier, causing the sword to spin at high speed.

Saber shattered the lioness's claws and, with this high-speed spiral, drilled into the giant lion's body, piercing its torso.

"It's only over now."

Saber rose from the ground, a giant lion radiating the sun and fury, now reduced to the remains of its two hind legs.
