The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"It's just a red-light district, yet there are two Servants here."

Aside from the unrecognizable Berserker, the other Servant is not entirely unfamiliar.

In this era, he should also be a renowned swordsman, the Flower of Heaven, Miyamoto Musashi.

Given the timeline of this Holy Grail War, Miyamoto Musashi in this world should already be dead, so his appearance as a Heroic Spirit isn't surprising.

Although that Musashi looked a bit strange, was he really the Musashi of this place? Or was he just some wandering fellow?

However, since it's her, she should be able to enjoy considerable local advantages here.

After all, the story of Miyamoto Musashi ended not too long ago, and it should still be circulating among the people.

Therefore, Manshu did not linger in front of Yoshiwara's gate. He had simply come there on a whim and there was no need to spend too much energy there.

At the same time, dealing with those two Servants, who are not weak, will require some effort.

What Manju probably doesn't know is that although Miyamoto Musashi was quite famous in this era, he could indeed benefit from the boost in local popularity search results.

However, Miyamoto Musashi had a rather bad reputation, so the local benefits he received actually had a negative effect.

However, there is a home-field advantage in this Moon Ritual, as the complex spiritual veins beneath Edo create numerous spiritual lands that can provide Servants with a large amount of magical power.

Contesting for sacred lands and acquiring more magic power is the most important strategy in this Moonlit Ritual.

After leaving Yoshiwara, Manshu continued in the direction he had been asked for. After crossing Nihonbashi Bridge, he headed southwest along the main road.

There was a somewhat desolate section of road in the middle, with lush forests and mountains that appeared to be quite high on both sides.

Further ahead was a barren wasteland with little vegetation, until we were almost at our destination when we finally saw the golden fields.

Golden wheat straw and withered yellow leaves covered the ground, creating a bright field that could instantly lift one's spirits.

Even Manju himself couldn't help but step forward and tread on the golden grass.

Walking a little further ahead, you'll reach Akasaka, Manshu's destination. Unlike the barren houses he had seen before, a group of mansions that were quite pleasing to the eye came into view.

This area can be considered a landscape that fulfills one's fantasy of ancient mansions, and indeed one can see some people whose attire and demeanor are quite different from those of the people seen before.

The Tang people's second residence and the Wu family's ninth residence are not places that require much effort to distinguish, and the Tang people can also find their locations by moving around in these areas.

Of course, the simplest way is to directly look for the existence of Servants, or to search for the aura of magic.

Although there are also residences of high-ranking officials and nobles in this area, there are bound to be traces of magic, and the Yin-Yang Masters would set up some simple barriers.

Besides, Manshu didn't have any particular plans for coming here; he just wanted to take a look.

By lowering one's eyes and ears, listening to the conversation, or gazing further into the distance, one can roughly discern the identities of these Tang people.

The Ming Dynasty has been overthrown for several years now, and these people who have come here are those who followed Zheng Chenggong.

Their main force was probably still resisting the Qing Dynasty; only a small group of elite Taoist priests and soldiers came here.

Therefore, the identity of the Tang people participating in the Moonlit Ceremony here becomes obvious: Zheng Chenggong, the Lord of the Imperial Surname.

He would indeed have a wish he intends to place on the all-powerful wish-granting machine. He came to Japan to seek reinforcements, and if he knew of the existence of the all-powerful wish-granting machine, he would probably seize this opportunity.

I never expected to see a living celebrity, so this is something I can call a "check-in" activity.

Manju didn't have many thoughts on this. He followed the road to the vicinity of the Tang mansion, summoned Amon's power to conceal himself, and then climbed over the wall.

Just keep walking deeper into the road, and you'll see a handsome man in a red shirt.

From the way others addressed him, we can tell that the man was Zheng Chenggong. The man in white robes not far from Zheng Chenggong was likely his follower.

These are unfamiliar faces too. I wonder which servant Zheng Chenggong will summon.

The C+, B+, and B measurements are quite good, and one can vaguely sense that the opponent's spirit origin strength is not low.

However, we'll only know his exact level when we face him head-on, but he should be a Servant of great hero caliber.

Manju took in the appearance of the two people, then turned and left, departing Akasaka and returning to Ueno.

He had only heard that there were domestic participants here, so he came to take a look out of curiosity.

Not all Servants have been summoned yet, and the ritual hasn't officially begun, so there's no need to rush. The real battle will come eventually.

As for now, let this enthusiasm come and go as it may. (驷)

"Hmm?" Ba

With his arms crossed and leaning against a pillar of the building, the white-clad servant uttered a sound of doubt.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Chenggong turned his head and asked. (The word "韭" is a slang term for chives.)

"It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination." Lin

The follower landed in the shadow where Manju had previously stood, but seeing nothing, he shook his head in reply. Ugh.

“Such keen eyes, is it Archer?”

It's not surprising that Manjusaka didn't continue to deliberately conceal herself when she left, and that a Servant with clairvoyance would notice.

"Should we go back and wait until evening, or stop by and explore other places along the way?"

The information provided by Tsuchimikado Takatoshi previously included Dorothea from a foreign country, whom he had never met before.

Her base was in Yokosuka, a port town located south of Kanagawa Port. It was a major maritime hub in the eight Kanto regions, with ships from all over Japan coming and going.

However, at this moment, the most attention-grabbing figures in that area must be Dorothea and her subordinates.

Since the shogunate closed the country to the outside world, Westerners had not set foot in Edo for more than a decade. Manshu had previously heard Westerners discussing Yokosuka at a market he passed through.

Their entry into Edo signified the East India Company's role in replacing Portugal, which had been ousted by the previous Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, to trade Western goods.

The galleons, in particular, moored in the harbor, were quite a sight to behold for the locals.

Although the East India Company mainly used freutt ships at this time, Dorothea probably preferred their imposing appearance, or perhaps it was to save money.

It's still early, and although Yokosuka is located on the southwestern edge of Edo, it's probably only about half the distance I walked today.

There's no need to postpone it until the next day, let's go take a look together.

Heading south from Akasaka, after crossing the Rokugo Bridge, you can reach Yokosuka by following the sea.

However, before arriving at Yokosuka, the first place to reach is Kanagawa Port.

Before even approaching the port, Manju had already sensed the presence of the Servants entrenched there.

"Finally, I've seen someone I know. Although they're a bit weaker, I think I haven't mistaken them for someone else."

Manshu walked toward the fishing port, not toward the harbor, but toward the inland area.

Kanagawa Port is adjacent to Mount Gongen, and the aura of the Servant that Manju sensed was located at the point where it was heading towards Mount Gongen.

This is a good section of road, far from the port, so there won't be much traffic.

A town once stood on Mount Quanxian, but it has now fallen into ruins, so not many people come here regularly.

"You who disturb the peace of this place, what brings you here?"

A familiar figure, holding a divine bow and dressed in long white robes, appeared before Manshu, holding the divine bow horizontally in front of his chest and asking questions without any politeness.

“I have no intention of disturbing the peace here, and besides, will there really be any peace on this land after this ceremony begins?”

Manjushri looked at Arjuna before him, answering while conjuring a weapon with magic and holding it in his hand.

"Since I am here, I must maintain the peace here, so I will also get rid of you, this uninvited guest."

As Ah Zhou adopted a fighting stance without any hesitation, her magic power condensed on the divine bow, Li Gandiba, in her hand.

"So you actually call me an uninvited guest? Then it's indeed necessary to temporarily shatter your peace and punish you."

Manju slapped his horse, Busifala, and immediately charged forward on lightning, his fierce charge even cracking the ground beneath his feet.

But Arjuna immediately leaped backward to create distance, and then drew back his divine bow repeatedly, firing blazing arrows.

As an Archer, Arjuna naturally needs to utilize his mobility and attack range to defeat the enemy.

The flaming arrows shot from his divine bow also possessed the power to scorch the earth.

The ground was instantly charred black as he moved while maintaining extremely rapid arrow shooting.

Manshu swung his sword, cutting down the arrows one by one. Although it wasn't a particularly good weapon, it was sufficient for the current battle.

Durandal's sharpness can easily cut and shatter these arrows; as long as they are not used to block, there is no need to worry about them being destroyed too quickly.

Busyfalas himself possesses excellent mobility. If a Rider cannot match the mobility of other Servants, it can only mean that this is a Rider with a flawed art style.

At least the mount is normal, so there shouldn't be any problems in that regard.

Despite Arjuna's constant attempts to create distance and to block Manjushri with his attacks, his efforts ultimately yielded little result.

Therefore, Arjuna raised his divine bow, and a massive ball of light formed from his magical power was emitted.

The sphere of light split into countless arrows, which instantly turned into a rain of arrows.

The massive number of arrows that rained down rapidly swept across the land, instantly evaporating a large area of ​​soil.

"Such superb archery skills! If it were an ordinary hero, he would probably have perished in this rain of fire that seems to have fallen from the sky."

Manjushri's joyful voice came from the bombardment, and flashes of lightning broke through the rain of fire arrows, leaping out and crashing into Arjuna.

"But how could flames possibly harm the sun? They can't even stop me."

Manju, residing on Busifala, revealed a ferocious smile and mercilessly unleashed lightning and flames with the speed of his galloping horse.

"The one who once rode on this horse was the son of Zeus, the son of Ammon, and the king protected by Helios."

And now, the great one, who walks alongside lightning and sunfire, descends upon this starting point of conquest; Zolegelnaing will embody the will of the gods.

Manju chanted and called out the name of the king with two horns.

Zoller al-Nain, meaning "King with Two Horns," is a widely known world king in the Arab world.

That was the magnificent Holy King, the origin revered by numerous royal families in the Mediterranean and the Arab world.

The two horns that sprouted from its head were a manifestation of the thunder god, and a symbol of its father Zeus and Amun.

(4) This is the power of the Holy King who has already ascended to the throne of God in the legends, causing the expanding lightning and sunburn to attach to the sword being swung.

Although I didn't expect to meet Arjuna here, since I've actually encountered a threatening target, there's no need to be polite.

④ Once it is confirmed that a confrontation and hostility are inevitable, then it is only natural to try to kill the person.

(3) This fierce attack did not make Arjuna panic. After all, he was a hero who had experienced the mythical war and was able to maintain his rationality in this critical moment.
