The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

(v) "Agni, the fire god, unleash your karmic flames! Roar of the fire god (Agni Gandiva)!"

Luarjuna immediately released the divine bow Gandiba from his hand and bombarded Manjushri with Agni's heavenly fire.

(4) "It seems my words have not reached your ears, you divinely ordained hero. Before you is not an ordinary mortal, but the blazing sun suspended in the sky."

As in the past, the magnificent king held the power of the gods in his hands, and now the power of the gods is being confiscated by me, and I am exercising authority on their behalf.

Therefore I praise Helios, the tireless sun! He leads the dancing horses, regulating the seasons, swift and sharp, burning incessantly, patrolling like fire!

The Macedonian conquest had already been foretold, its trajectory laid out by Helios himself. Witness it! This devastation and domination!

Agni's heavenly fire fell in front of Manjushri. This fiery arrow, powerful enough to destroy an entire land and burn down the forest on the mountain, was blocked by Manjushri with his left arm.

N's arm turned to ashes in an instant, but the words that came from Manjushri's mouth ignited even hotter and more terrifying flames beneath him, obliterating the remaining power of Arjuna's Noble Phantasm.

"That's not enough... O Shiva, God of Destruction, use your power to unleash the punishment from heaven! Pashupata, the Hand of Destruction!"

Arjuna, seeing that Gandibar's attack was not enough, immediately released the beast lord without the slightest hesitation.

Chapter Six Intervention

The beast lord, instantly freed, was thrown from Arjuna's hand, and terrifying heat and magic would devour everything.

This Noble Phantasm was obtained by Arjuna from the hunter who was an incarnation of Shiva. Although it is recorded as an anti-personnel Noble Phantasm on the panel, its actual effect is not to kill people, but to make a judgment.

If the judgment fails, it will release the other party, which is an instant death effect. The higher the divinity, the greater the probability of being instantly killed.

This is undoubtedly Arjuna's strongest Noble Phantasm, possessing terrifying power as well as the ability to kill instantly.

Even someone like Manjushri, who possesses extremely high divinity, must be wary of the death effects brought about by the power of Shiva.

However, Arjuna rarely uses the full power of this Noble Phantasm. Under normal circumstances, he only unleashes one-tenth of its power, but its power is still comparable to Karna's Spear of Slaughter.

The full power released by Nine is enough to make people fight with dread. Although Nine's Awujuna in this Zero ritual is obviously weaker than when he has a Master, the power he can exert is still extremely threatening.

Therefore, Manju did not act carelessly, but instead carried out the killing without any mercy.

Faced with the beast lord being released at such close range, the charging steed showed no intention of dodging. After withstanding Agni's heavenly fire, Helios's flames had already left a trail under its hooves.

Bousifaras is moving forward along the path marked by the sun god, the very sun worshipped by the ancient Macedonian royal family.

The symbol of the sun, composed of sixteen rays, is the Vigina Sun, also known as the Ajid Star.

In the Ajid dynasty, founded by the ancient Macedonian royal family, the magnificent sun was the royal family's guardian deity.

That sun was Helios, and the rays of the sun formed the prophetic trajectory, which became the path trodden by the conquering king in the future.

Therefore, what appears upon stepping on this celestial fire is Helios, the sun god who is the guardian of the Macedonian royal family; it is the sun driving its chariot across the sky, herding its chariot across the heavens.

However, it seems that the power of Helios alone is not enough to resist the power of Shiva. After all, the Sibylus is not a treasure that can compare with Zeus's oxcart. After all, this is only the beginning of the journey of conquest, not the already formed path of ravages.

"We praise the 'Kaiyan Aura' created by Mazda, that extraordinary, praiseworthy aura, that holy, omnipotent, and agile aura, which surpasses all creation."

Manju then recited the words recorded in the Avesta, invoking the Kaiyan aura created by Ahura Mazda.

In the Yasht chapter, this aura symbolizes Ahura Mazda's grace and blessings, which are above all creation in the world.

The one who first possessed this aura was Jamshid, the ruler of the world. He who possessed the aura made death and evil nonexistent in the world.

But when he repented of his sin of speaking falsely, the Kaiyang light left him, leaving him powerless against the rampant demons and forcing him to disappear without a trace.

This light was then obtained by Faridon, and evil attempted to take it away three times, but failed each time.

Finally, the aura merged with the kings of the Keyan dynasty of Iran, becoming a symbol of a brave, fearless, and virtuous holy king.

This divine light became a symbol of legitimate Iranian monarchy, and only the rightful Persian king could use it when exercising divine will for good. No matter how powerful demons and evildoers were, they could never touch the divine light.

The two-horned king was indeed said to possess the light of Kaiyan, but the legends in Persian tales varied depending on the time period.

Initially, the conquerors who set foot in Persia were seen as cursed evil kings, tyrants who were the embodiment of Angra Mainyu, and demons who wanted to completely destroy the ever-burning sacred fire.

Even in Islamic Persia, the concept of the aura persisted in the land of Persia. Through the Sultan's explanation of the aura as a projection of God, the aura remained the standard for measuring kings, saints, and those who possessed legitimacy.

At the same time, the story of Alexander was widely recorded in Muslim historical works.

In his book "The History of Peoples and Emperors," Tiberius recorded that four kings once ruled the world: two unbelievers and two believers.

The two unbelievers were Nimrod and Nebuchadnezzar, while the two believers were Solomon and Alexander.

According to the Book of Kings, Alexander's parents were Dalabh, the king of the Keyan dynasty, and Nashid, the daughter of Philip, the king of Rum. He himself was the half-brother of Dalabh, the ninth king of the Keyan dynasty, and the tenth king of the Keyan dynasty. He was the world king who possessed the Keyan light.

In the Book of King Kush, the author, through the words of Mahanashi, a descendant of Jamshid, praises Alexander as the king of the true God.

In the Persian tradition, the conqueror can be said to possess a dual identity: a tyrant who destroyed the sacred fire and a true king blessed by the divine light.

The divine light descended from the nine heavens, to judge Manjushri's enemies.

That is the one who opposes the Holy King recognized by the Light, while the True King is undoubtedly the one who manifests and executes the divine will.

Therefore, the king's enemies should rightfully be the wicked, those who have strayed from God's will. Once the good and evil of both parties are defined, judgment will follow.

This aura, emanating from Ahura Mazda's divine power, is ever-changing, displaying boundless power through the will of the king it embodies.

“We praise Ahura Mazda, for all goodness originates from him, and light originates from him.”

Manju only needed the power to stop the Beast Lord, so all he sought was pure light and judgment.

Only pure power remained to resist the Beast Lord's magic, allowing Busifaras to continue his journey and complete the predetermined path.

"It's still not enough..."

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Arjuna was also somewhat exhausted after unleashing two Noble Phantasms in succession. Even with abundant magical power, it would be impossible to use Noble Phantasms so quickly.

Unable to use any more methods, Arjuna could only use the divine craftsman Gandiba as a melee weapon.

By imbuing the bow with magic and using it as a blade to slash, one can unleash powerful strikes.

While it's impossible to stop Busifaras's charge, at least a glimmer of hope can be found.

Arjuna's body flew backward dozens of meters, rolling on the ground like a rag doll.

The ground where he landed was also cracked by the terrible shock, the entire mountain seemed to shake, and the residents in the nearby fishing port were panicked.

"Is this the wrath of the gods?"

Even just a glance at the aftershocks generated by the clash of those terrifying magical powers is enough to instill fear in ordinary people.

The road leading to the mountain peak has been completely destroyed, and even the clouds in the sky have been driven away by the falling sunlight.

……

"The conflict between Servants has already occurred. Although the workshop in Yokosuka is not yet completed, I am determined to obtain the sacred land of Kanagawa Port."

Seizing this opportunity might allow us to bring all the surrounding spiritual lands under our control and eliminate two competitors.

Not long after the battle began, in Yokosuka, not far from Kanagawa, a foreign beauty who was setting up her magic workshop at the port suddenly showed a look of joy.

The commotion from the battle between Manjushri and Arjuna was bound to be significant; such obvious magical fluctuations could not possibly escape the notice of a skilled magician.

Without hesitation, Dorothea immediately decided to get involved in the Kanagawa Port matter.

If it were a little further away, one might hesitate a bit more, but only in Kanagawa Port, which belongs to the same region, is there no room for any adversaries to exist in this secluded place.

"Alright, are you ready? Let's set off to suppress Kanagawa."

Dorothea looked at the man in the gray robe beside her; this must be the Servant she had summoned.

The servant, whose face was covered by a mask and dressed in gray, was covered in snake-related elements, and his hands were simply wrapped with several small snakes.

"Hmph—I'll show you a fraction of my power."

The servant's choice, made without the slightest worry, revealed complete confidence.

The master and servant immediately set off from Yokosuka to Mount Gongen in Kanagawa Port.

"Did they use their Noble Phantasms directly? With such power, it's likely both sides were holding back, using their full strength on the very first day."

"I can't believe how powerful the flow of magic is," Dorothea exclaimed in surprise. "Even ordinary grand magic can't compare to this."

"Indeed, it is a clash of Noble Phantasms between the two sides. My snake has seen the situation. It looks like the warrior on horseback will win, and the warrior wielding the divine bow will lose."

The gray-clad follower spoke from the side.

"With a bow? You mean one of the combatants is Archer?"

"The warrior who wields such a divine bow must be Archer, no doubt about it."

The gray-clad follower said with certainty.

"Archer? Is that the heroic spirit who was by Tang Ren's side? What's he doing here?"

No, not the same one.

"What's going on? There are two Archers? This doesn't match the intelligence report. How could this be..."

Indeed, the ritual was flawed to begin with; the very act of summoning was bizarre and of dubious origin, so anything that happened wouldn't be surprising.

Dorothea was initially surprised, but upon reflection, she was able to accept it.

Moreover, the most pressing matter right now is not to think about the Holy Grail War, but to take advantage of the situation to eliminate our opponent and occupy this sacred land.

"Never mind that for now, Assassin, you should head over there first. If Rider takes care of Archer and chooses to retreat, you'll have a hard time catching up with him."

Let's take this opportunity to try and leave both Servants here, but if they remain a formidable enemy after a battle, don't push yourself; be sure to retreat in time, Assassin.

Dorothea spoke up, saying that now that they were in Kanagawa, there was no need for Assassin to continue following her.

After all, a Master's physical body is too fragile in a Servant's battle; it's best not to show themselves unless absolutely necessary. (v)

The gray-clad servant merely nodded, offering no reply, and vanished behind Dorothea. (VII)

"Damn it... is it really going to end here?" Liu

Arjuna struggled to his feet, using his divine bow, Gandhiba, as a support, but the pain throughout his body told him of the extent of his injuries. Lu

Half of his chest was shattered, but he managed to save his heart by unleashing his full power, preventing his spirit core from suffering too severe damage.

While this horrifying injury appears fatal, it's unlikely to be fatal for the Servant, as long as they don't suffer any further harm. (iv)

But this was probably impossible. The sound of horses' hooves ringing in Arjuna's ears was like the tolling of death's bell, and the figure on horseback gradually appearing before him was Death himself. Hiss.

Although the image seemed rather incongruous with death, the steed riding on lightning and fireworks, and the king with a halo behind his head, actually resembled a saint conquering evil.

"It's time to end this pointless battle, you divinely gifted hero, this is your destined fate."

Manju's voice, accompanied by the sword raised high in his hand, was like a guillotine raised for a condemned prisoner; the moment it fell meant the end.

Arjuna wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; completely dismantling the Beast Lords is impossible, especially at such close range.
