The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Seeing the towering waves had been stirred up, Manshu's face was full of joy.

Should we continue to use fire to combat the flood? Or should we create the same waves, overturning it with sheer force?

Manshu pondered this option, after all, as a flood, he had once stirred up a tide that was just as great as, or even more terrifying than, this one.

However, since we've already done it, we should try a different approach. Besides, in this situation, a wave created solely by pure magic might not be enough.

After all, the guy in front of them is undoubtedly one of the strongest Servants on this land right now.

His name is Yamato Takeru, and he is currently standing on Japanese soil.

Although you're completely abandoning the fame bonus this time and directly patching it up by saying that illiteracy in the Edo period affected fame, there's basically no bonus to be gained from this ceremony.

There was even a Miyamoto Musashi who, because he was criticized at the time, actually benefited from the reverse—a positive effect on his fame. Wouldn't that mean all anti-heroes would be doomed?

It can only be said that you really don't plan to continue to talk too much about the local bonus, after all, this also involves different stats for different cup battles. Some of the authors in you are already writing the settings quite perfunctorily, so they don't have the mood to do this kind of thing.

However, there should at least be some enhancements. It's not like Servants can only enjoy world-class fame in the Holy Grail War of modern society, since illiteracy still made up the majority of people in ancient times.

In this situation, it's still more convenient to use a Noble Phantasm as a foundation and invoke the power of the gods for enhancement. (鳩)

A call from nowhere—at least Manju's current strength shouldn't be enough to support it; it certainly wouldn't work in Asakusa, it would only be possible in Ueno.

"Even so, let the power of the snake counter the power of the snake. Let the divine beast, born from the curtain falling on a thousand years, be the symbol of the end, the sacred serpent representing the supreme power of the Pharaoh!"

Behold the Egyptian sunset, the serpent of end! In the name of the Pharaoh, I command: O serpent of dawn, descend upon this place! (Uraeus Astrape)

From the final demise of the thirty-three dynasties, from the moment Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty, ended her life along with that dynasty, this serpent was born from that story.

This enormous serpent, striped with gold and blue, is coiled with flames. The sacred serpent will shoot fire from its eyes to protect the Egyptian monarchy. (III)

This flame appears here; it too is the fire of the sun, the light of the sun god. (3)

Because that eye is the Eye of the Moon, the Eye of Hathor, the Eye of Horus, and the Eye of Ra.

However, Ulaius was originally a symbol of the cobra goddess Vagit, an equally ancient goddess who once symbolized the sun.

Her eyes were divine eyes that could see into all things and know everything; at that time she was the protector of the Nile Delta and all of Lower Egypt.

After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, Wajit, along with Nehebet, the vulture goddess of Upper Egypt, became the patron goddess of Egypt, and she remains a symbol of the crown of Lower Egypt.

"The soul of the king is the sun with wings, and the goddess Wajit protects the sun. She holds the cross of life, is the embodiment of divine eyes, and guards Egypt and the pharaoh."

Transform into a fierce fire god, rising and shining in the clouds under this setting sun, and repel the flood of disaster unleashed by the great serpent, the serpent of misfortune that is about to devour the Pharaoh and eat the sun.

I call upon your name, Goddess Vajit, as my bond with Sekhmet is; grant me freedom to roam this land, and help me defeat the flood of calamity.

A snake-like shape descended from the clouds and merged with the snake that was engulfed in flames.

The cobra holds the sun atop its head, and a T-shaped cross is wrapped around its tail. The sun is the solar disk that Vagit protects, and it also forms the image of the sacred serpent Ulaius.

The T-shaped cross at the base of her tail represents the power of the four lives summoned by Manjusaka.

So the snake that had been summoned earlier gathered the flames that were wrapped around his body and placed them on the top of his head.

The flames burning above are the fire of the sacred serpent, and also the fire of history that has burned away.

The thousand-year history finally came to an end, and everything naturally turned into flames and vanished without a trace.

Now everything will be turned into fuel to support the sun's appearance and the Pharaoh's travels.

Faced with the flood, the one who could possibly be its enemy was not the snake, but Horus or Osiris.

The flood can also be regarded as Set, and should not be equated with the great flood of the Nile, but rather regarded as a surging sea wave.

Set is dry and is the antithesis of moisture, as is the sea.

"King of kings, Lord of lords, great Osiris, you are the eternal king, the eternal sovereign! You are the eldest son of Nut and Geb, the king who wears the crown of Ut, how noble is the high white crown, you rule over the gods."

Horus, the ruler of the heavens, king of the gods, supreme ruler, you are the lord of all things, the supreme god, the infinite one. You inherited the throne from your ancestors and hold the scepter and the flail.

I call upon your sublime power to dispel the scorching dryness, remove the useless seawater, and quell the calamity upon this land.

Osiris supplied the moisture that fueled the sun's fire, while Horus took this power into his own hands and transformed it into an even more terrifying and deadly attack.

Just as Horus, who inherited the scepter and flail, killed Set to avenge his father and ascended the throne of Egypt.

The sun's disk transformed into Horus, who burned all enemies with fire and exercised royal power through strength.

Waves and flames mingled together, and the boundless waves were evaporated by the sun's blazing light. But this did not stop; the power was still being driven to strike Saber.

Chapter Twenty-Eight Clearly

The fireworks on the ground mingled with the colors of dusk. This giant serpent, built upon the foundation of the Egyptian sunset, fell to the ground and surged towards the waves, just as the sun set and the world ushered in twilight.

But dusk will not come so easily; the surging waves are not just one wave, but the powerful forces of nature in motion.

After unleashing the true name of the sword in his hand, the Japanese warrior who wields the Kusanagi sword has now become a deity, wielding the power of the Yamata no Orochi, the flood god.

Although Saber's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, its actual effect is not like the traditional Anti-World Noble Phantasms such as Gilgamesh's Ea sword or Surtur's Levadine, which would destroy the world.

In Saber's hands, the Kusanagi Sword is a rather unique anti-world Noble Phantasm; it does not destroy, but rather affects the world.

The only effect Saber gets from releasing the true name of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi is deification.

The gods are nature, the world, especially flood gods like Yamata no Orochi, who represent natural disasters. (9)

The resulting divine transformation naturally leads to its fusion with the world; therefore, the sword's true name is the World Sword, and it is classified as an Anti-World Noble Phantasm.

As for Ibuki-dōji, being the son of Yamata no Orochi, he possesses a strong divine aspect. (iv)

Therefore, the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi used by Ibuki-dōji was simply using the sword's power to cause destruction; the power belonging to Yamata-no-Orochi was already manifested within her. (8)

As for its sheer destructive power, it's defined as an A+ anti-city Noble Phantasm. The different ways the two characters used the sword represent different aspects of its power, thus resulting in different Noble Phantasm classifications. (iv)

Although the divine power gained from unleashing the sword's true name cannot compare to that of the real Yamata no Orochi, since this effect is merely deification, obtaining the divine power belonging to Yamata no Orochi. (II)

The limitations of a Servant's inherent Spirit Origin mean they can never reach the level of Yamata no Orochi, especially since even after unleashing their True Name, they can only choose to use one of their powers, at most comparable to one of its heads. (9)

But even this level of capability is more than sufficient in a place like the Holy Grail War.

After all, in the Holy Grail War, the highest level of Spirit Origin a Servant can possess is only at the level of Gilgamesh; having god-level power is sufficient. (v)

The flood unleashed by the power of Yamata no Orochi. Although it was initially overwhelmed by Manjushri's Noble Phantasm, the floodwaters immediately surged forth in even larger waves.

This is the most essential power of Yamata no Orochi itself; it is an overwhelming flood capable of destroying everything.

Water and fire mingled here, the two forces clashing against each other. Neither of them relaxed their infusion of magic, drawing the battle into a contest of the purest essence of power.

However, after a large amount of floodwater evaporates, it will eventually return to the earth.

This is not good news for Manshu, who drives flames.

Therefore, he did not intend to let the situation continue in this stalemate. He took out a book from his hand, a Noble Phantasm that he had never used before.

I just felt that there was no need to use it in most situations, so I forgot about it. But for Manju, this Noble Phantasm was quite useful.

After all, he is unlikely to die in most situations, so he can basically make full use of this Noble Phantasm.

Manju now possesses the Noble Phantasm of Angra Mainyu, the False Reputation of All Things.

Although it is not the real Angolan Manuel, this Noble Phantasm is still named after the Zoroastrian holy book Avesta.

Its real effect is to reflect the damage it receives back to the opponent; it is the most primitive curse in the world.

Actually, it's quite useful. Even if you don't need it, you can hold it in your hand to help Manjushri recall the contents of Avesta. Although there may be errors or omissions in the manuscript, it still feels quite nice to hold it in your hand.

Manjusaka intended to use this Noble Phantasm to completely defeat the deified Saber, allowing the Dawn's End Serpent he summoned to utterly destroy the flood of Yamata no Orochi.

Reposting "The Verge of Avesta"!

As Manju released the true name of his Noble Phantasm, the copy of Avesta in his hand immediately dissolved into black and crimson text.

This is, of course, just an ordinary manuscript of Avesta, and the young man who owns this book is just an ordinary, mediocre young man.

Because of a mundane decision made in the village, the young man became a human sacrifice, branded with the name of all the evil in the world.

He became the village's need for necessary evil, the culprit behind all the unfulfilled desires, and the root of all evil that made life so painful and impoverished.

(9) This book is merely a product of the hatred and the name Angra Mainyu born from the suffering of a young man in a prison forged of rock.

The words and pictures that seem to flow from the manuscript will be transformed into a new shell, packaging a murderous beast and shaping a scourge that people fear.

Ba is a demon that people fear and despise, shrouded in dark magic, forming the shape of a wild beast.

(2) Manjusaka walked forward with this shell, to bathe in the terrible flood unleashed by the Kusanagi Sword in Saber's hand.

The power of that force swallowed Manju in an instant; after all, it was a power capable of leveling the entire land.

But the power immediately stopped, because Saber, who was controlling the flood, immediately showed a look of pain on her face.

(3) Countless red symbols rushed out of the flood and stuck to Saber's body without any resistance.

As if struck by a tremendous force, linSaber fell to the ground, blood seeping from all over her body, and the surging floodwaters on the ground went out of control in an instant.

However, the out-of-control flood did not become a raging torrent that ravaged the land. Instead, it was swallowed whole by the giant serpent that already existed, and finally vanished into nothingness.

Manju's shadow appeared beneath the vanished floodwaters; the once pitch-black beast had transformed into a creature covered in red characters and images.

If you look closely, you can see that the wounds on Manju's body are no different from those on Saber's body. Manju's face of the flood caused Saber to also take his Kusanagi sword.

The two are not at the same level in terms of endurance; rather, the gap is quite large, with one being a C and the other an A+.

Manju released his Noble Phantasm. Although he looked severely injured, he was still able to hold his katana and plant it in the ground to stand up.

Saber, however, was lying on the ground, her breath gradually weakening, and she had probably temporarily lost the ability to fight; she might have even fainted.

Angra Mainyu's Noble Phantasm is a rather primitive curse magic, after all, as an ordinary person, he can only vent his hatred with this primitive curse.

While it may not be as powerful as, it can repay double, but it also has some advantages. That is, it targets the root of the damage, which cannot be healed through normal means.

As long as the wound of the person who activated the Noble Phantasm has not healed, the other person's pain will not disappear.

Even though Saber could wield the power of Orochi, she was unable to mount an effective defense for a time, thus losing her ability to fight.

Such a Noble Phantasm is indeed not very effective against Angra Mainyu, after all, that guy is a rather weak Servant, and this Noble Phantasm is not a percentage-based damage reflection, but an equivalent damage reflection.

It means that if you receive 100 damage, it will reflect back 100 damage, not that both your health and the opponent's health are at 10%.

This was clearly demonstrated in FHA. After being wounded by the Knight King's sword and having the damage reflected back, Angra Mainyu was in a state where he would die within minutes, while the Knight King was in a state where he could still unleash his Noble Phantasm.

Of course, it was precisely because he was still able to unleash his Noble Phantasm that the King of Knights was shattered after consuming Bazett's Reverse Light Sword.

"You didn't expect to be subjected to such primitive witchcraft, did you, Saber? Have you forgotten to be on guard because it's been so long since you've seen it?"

I thought that heroes who had fought countless battles in this ancient land would be wary of such witchcraft.

Manju put away his weapon, dissipated the power he had summoned, and walked toward Saber.
