The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Chapter Thirty-Seven Arrives

"Hehehe... Even when facing the threat of annihilation, they are still secretly plotting and devising schemes."

A man dressed in tattered armor with a black cloth wrapped around his face stood on the side of a house not far away, watching the departing figure of Yui Masayuki and letting out a sinister laugh.

"Follow Lancer. Let's keep a close eye on Lord Zhengxue and see if he has any good news to bring us."

Uncle: "Yes, Master."

Lin Lancer, with a blank expression, nodded and followed the tracks of the Ugly Queen's horse as it disappeared into the distance.

4. Lancer's Master, Ujiemon, was, after all, an ordinary person, and his speed was not enough to catch up with such a terrifying demon horse.

During this ceremony, Lancer's Master, Ujiemon, appeared quite gloomy, wearing only armor that looked like it had been through a battle and suffered considerable damage.

The armor hadn't undergone much repair and wasn't worn formally; it was simply draped loosely over the body.

2. He was also carrying a flag on his back, with a family crest that was unknown.

As for himself, he is a survivor of the Shimabara Rebellion, led by Amakusa Shiro, which was the riot that shook the current peace on Amakusa Shimabara.

The prototype for Lin's identity may be Yamada Uimon, the only survivor from the Shimabara side during the Shimabara Rebellion in history.

(v) Ujiemon survived the hell of the massacre of Christians and came to Edo to participate in this ceremony.

Perhaps all that remained in his heart was a hateful fire of anger, for his family and friends had all perished in that war that was nothing short of a massacre.

That was the largest peasant uprising in the Edo period, and the final result was the massacre of all 35,000 Chechidan followers.

Ujiemon's father and mother both died while protecting him. He said that he heard his parents' last words and could only say "Live on."

The blessing bestowed by the deceased naturally became a constraint on the living, driving him to come here to participate in this full moon ceremony.

……

"As expected, I've attracted uninvited guests. I don't know how this pig dared to entrust these things to me so easily. Although they're not particularly valuable, they'll attract anyone with desires. Next time we meet, I'll have to make sure you drink some more Shock Wine."

In that abandoned house in Koishikawa, the witch Circe was in her makeshift magic workshop.

When outsiders arrived at Koishikawa, she, as the owner of the place, noticed them immediately.

Even at her worst, she was still a remarkable magician, and within her own territory, there was nothing that could be hidden from her.

Most people who would suddenly run to such a remote place are not well-intentioned, let alone come with such a fierce attitude.

The scent emanating from the light itself was ominous, mixed with the aura of some deity, perhaps a demigod-like follower, whose presence exuded only misfortune and ferocity.

"I have indeed caused you trouble, but there is no need to worry or fret. The ghosts and spirits that have appeared outside, and the corrupted saintess that follows them, will not come here."

But just as Circe picked up her wand to go out and greet the hordes of guests, intending to feed all the Shockers to them and add more piglets to her pens, Manjusquerade's voice rang out.

"Shouldn't you... still be in the sky right now?"

Circe was surprised to hear a sound from here. While somewhat astonished, he used magic to check his surroundings for anything left behind.

"There is no need to examine it; even the gods cannot reach the hidden power of Amun."

Besides, there's nothing here; I simply have the leisure to speak to you through the light mist, by the power of an almighty God.

Manju was still in the same spot, but he came here to check on the progress through the thin mist emanating from the heart he was reaching out to touch.

“你只需要做2好我的委托，9其余4的事情就0不必4分心，我可3不会允许有谁5打算来影响我6的事情4。”

After Manju finished speaking, the sound disappeared completely. Circe called out a few more times but received no response, so she knew that Manju had left.

Circe quickly noticed that the Servants who had just entered the Koishikawa area had also disappeared, and everything was about to return to calm.

This was not surprising, and Circe muttered a few words under his breath before continuing to complete Manshu's commission.

……

"Why did the formal attire suddenly stop working?"

Yui Masayuki sat on his servant's mount, holding the formal attire given to him by Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro for tracking the moon.

They followed the direction indicated by the formal attire, but just now, the effect of the attire suddenly disappeared, no longer indicating any direction.

"We no longer exist in the mortal world, so it is probably some kind of demon realm of a great demon."

Ushi-Gozen had already drawn her weapon, looking around warily, and then asked her Master for clarification.

Yui Masayuki was also looking around at the scenery. Although the Koishikawa area was relatively remote, there were not many people coming and going.

But she had been here before and had some impression of the place, but now, looking closely, she found everything unfamiliar.

"It looks like a barrier constructed by a great magician. It should be the Servant of this place, the masterless Caster, who discovered our arrival and made a counterattack."

As an artificial human, Yui Masayuki also possesses a certain level of magical skill.

The artificial human created by Yui Masayuki is a man named Mori Munekiken.

That man was a confidant of Amakusa Shiro, the mastermind behind the Shimabara Rebellion. He had learned various magic tricks in China and then studied Western magic. Through alchemy, he created an artificial life form named Yui Masayuki.

This is also because Isayuki is connected to Jiemon, the vengeful demon who survived the Shimabara Rebellion.

That man, who could be considered Izumi Masayuki's biological father, entrusted her with taking care of Jiemon, who was a survivor.

“Caster did find you, but since it was my commission that put her in this situation, I decided after some thought to handle it myself.”

Just after Yui Masayuki gave his judgment, Manshu's voice came leisurely over, and then a cloud of smoke rose from in front of Ushio Gozen and Yui Masayuki.

"It smells like blood... This smoke is the vapor from burning human blood."

Ushigozen remained calm, holding her weapon horizontally in front of her, her eyes constantly observing the changes around her.

"Heh... Why not examine it further? The rising smoke wouldn't just be smoke from human blood; there's smoke rising from volcanoes, and morning mist drifting through the jungle..."

Manju let out a soft laugh, but as he spoke, layers of smoke intertwined, rising from the ground, flowing down from the sky, and whistling in from all directions.

"Don't try anything useless here. My beginning has already told you that if you want the Cup of the Full Moon, then come and satisfy me and let me witness your bravery."

I will reward the truly brave warriors, and the Cup of the Full Moon is naturally the prize I promise you.

There is no other way for you to obtain the Cup of the Full Moon. Do not commit the sins of foolishness and arrogance. Either turn back immediately, or continue forward or hesitate and die in the smoke.

Be grateful for my mercy in speaking so many words to fools like you; otherwise, your fate would be to die in endless forward movement and hesitation.

Smoke continued to rise and spread, only appearing to be slightly less smoky on the road behind.

"Master, retreating is the wise choice. It's impossible for one person to resist this god-like enemy."

Ugly Gozen turned to Yui Masayuki and said. ④

"I understand that since things are beyond saving, the only option is to evacuate. It's just a pity that we can't try to gain any more hope or choice."

Yui Masayuki sighed with some regret, but she remained clear-headed and wouldn't actually order them to continue forward. Tsukasa

Having received Masayuki's order, Ushi-Gozen seemed relieved and immediately turned her demon horse around to retreat.

As for Jeanne d'Arc following behind, Manjusaka merely gave her a quick glance; she was a saint whose spirit had been corrupted by the hatred of the Master she had summoned.

Normally, Joan of Arc appearing in this form shouldn't exist, because Joan of Arc herself doesn't have other facets. 6

“O Saint Maiden of Orleans, whose face I have never seen, turn back.”

The two people before you made the right choice, and even in this state, you should still have the rationality to make the right judgment.

Or is it that you can no longer hear the voice of revelation, and therefore cannot make the right choice?

It didn't take much effort on Joan of Arc; he simply gathered some strength and sent the words over, as if this guy was easier to persuade.

"I understand."

Joan of Arc didn't say much. After hearing Manjus's words, she put away the two pistols she had been gripping the moment she heard the voice, and immediately turned and left.

"It seems there shouldn't be any more issues; we can simply leave everything for tomorrow."

Let me see what you can do. Ideally, you could shoot the sun down from the sky and turn this land into its graveyard.

That dark sun has long since fallen to earth; now, only the souls of the dead linger in this world. The first solar era, ruled by the primordial sun, is long gone, and the remains of the past have become fuel for the birth of new gods.

Manju's true focus was only on the sun in the sky, that hazy, phantom-like sun, that sun like a dead ghost. (Dove)

On American soil, the sun has already fallen from the sky and into the earth; now, all that remains are the undying souls.

And now, those who are on the verge of death should also die; even the dead must face their end. (iv)

...Bang

"The unclaimed Rider was indeed not unprepared, which is why I entrusted Lord Zhengxue to go there personally. I just didn't expect that he could leave behind such strong power, enough to repel your heroic spirit, Lord Zhengxue." (4)

After all, that was a powerful spirit who had vanquished countless demons and stood at the pinnacle of mystery. Since this task could not succeed, all hope could be placed on tomorrow's battle.

"Then I will not disturb Lord Yui Masayuki's preparations for tomorrow. I should also make some preparations for tomorrow to make those who disrupted this ceremony pay the price." Uncle

When Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro learned that Yui Masayuki had not succeeded, he didn't show much disappointment. He simply said he knew and then saw Yui Masayuki off.

Only after Jing Zhengxue left did he reveal a somewhat resentful expression, slamming his fist on the table. (5)

"Tomorrow will be the end, you ownerless Rider. No matter who you are, even if you are a god, you cannot stand in the way of Tsuchimikado's revival."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro could only mutter to himself.

"All things are impermanent; the victor must fall, and the full moon is the beginning of its waning. Tai Guang thought he had everything under control, only to be met with a backlash, and thus he lives in constant fear. Rider... you too should face the waning moon; the rise and fall is fate, but will I truly have the chance to witness it?"

Hieda Rei simply shook his head, pondering his fate. He too had come for a wish, and fulfilling that wish was the most important thing.

……

“A meaningless little trick. The Moon Cup is in my hands, and I can control the magic of the entire Edo at any time.”

Looking down from his vantage point, Manju seemed to see these subtle changes taking place in the sacred grounds of Ueno.

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro seems to be trying to sever the connection between Manju and the sacred land, but it's a futile effort.

Therefore, Manjuschadenfreude didn't bother with this guy; there was absolutely no need to pay attention to such a thing.

He waited patiently until Circe completed his commission and came to Ueno from Koishikawa with the Moon Cup.

"Nothing at all……"

Circe circled around Ueno in confusion, not finding it at first, but soon she noticed something amiss.

Manju didn't hide much. Upon discovering that Circe had arrived, he proactively withdrew the hidden power of Amon.

"I'm troubling you with this matter, Zero. I've already seen the unclaimed Archer leave the Spirit Land, and at the same time, I've checked the entire Spirit Land. Apart from the unclaimed Berserker still being in place, I can't find any Servants in the other Spirit Lands."

Manshu had confirmed the effect Circe had achieved and told her that, after all, he was only focused on this matter for the time being.
