The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Kiritsugu Emiya reached out and stroked the gun's shaft.

Legend has it that the gun barrel of Gungnir was made from the branches of the World Tree, and the gun itself, with its divine power, does indeed have a wonderfully wooden feel to the touch.

A spear with penetrating properties can indeed be used to destroy the temples that cover the mysteries of the gods.

Especially since this is a weapon of a chief god, the mystery contained within it is enough to affect the temple where the god resides.

"Berserker and his Master Matou Kariya live in the Matou family mansion, far away from the Tohsaka family. If they seize the opportunity, they can destroy the temple when it is unattended."

Manju and Matou Kariya never concealed their whereabouts. Although many of the familiars sent by Emiya Kiritsugu died, they were still able to bring back some information.

In addition, Kirei Kotomine also provided some information, so they knew the movement of Manju's side.

"Maimi, you..."

Kiritsugu Emiya quickly formulated a simple action plan in his mind, but just as he was about to give the order, the distant roar of thunder interrupted his voice.

This was certainly not the sound of normal natural lightning, and Kiritsugu Emiya had heard it several times in the past few days.

That was the sound of Rider's oxcart slicing through the sky on Zeus's thunderbolts. Only that guy and Berserker would so openly expose their actions.

But this time the thunder didn't travel far...〖簑：八‖|5-七——6＄⑹√￠叁￠°⑷咝↑⑵, and it disappeared quickly.

This time, the thunder was deafening, and the booming sound completely shattered the surrounding silence.

Not only that, Irisviel's magic circuits were also subjected to intense stress, almost causing her to faint on the ground.

The roar was not far away, and the lightning had already struck the Einzbern family's woods. At the same time, the forest barrier outside the castle also showed signs of damage.

"So... they actually intend to break through head-on?"

The feedback from the magic had told Irisviel that the barrier outside the castle had not just been breached, but had been completely destroyed.

"Are you alright, Irisviel?"

"It's nothing, it's just a bit unexpected. I didn't expect to be greeted by such a rude guest."

“Let’s go out and take a look. Saber, Maiya, you take good care of Alice.”

Maiya stepped forward to support the weakened Irisviel, and only then did Kiritsugu Emiya turn around with relief to prepare to go out and face the enemy.

To think that he would just brazenly barge in from the front like that perfectly matches Kiritsugu Emiya's image of Rider.

However, as the strongest class, Saber is unlikely to be weaker than Rider, and it would be foolish for her to fight on her own home turf.

But just as Kiritsugu Emiya took a step, another, more familiar magical aura appeared in the sky above the Einzbern Forest.

The aura of the most powerful magic was probably very familiar to all the remaining participants.

The intense heat and boundless radiance that emanated from it have torn the night sky apart more than once, allowing its full brilliance to illuminate the entire night.

The sun appeared once again in the dead of night, releasing a torrent of light without any obstruction. Not only was the dark night sky illuminated and burned by its brilliance, but the dense forests on the ground were also being destroyed incessantly.

The unrestrained golden magical radiance is a light that brings destruction; with the endless infusion of magic, each ray of light emitted is almost comparable to the power of releasing one's true name.

The pitch-black forest, covered by barriers, had no chance to struggle. The forest, which had just been cleared by an oxcart, would now be completely reduced to scorched earth.

The intensely bright rain of light fell from the sky, along with the king's mocking laughter.

"Saber, are you ready to face death? After this land is destroyed by the Divine Light of the Remaining, you'll be burned to ashes!"

Faced with this relentless flash of light, this venomous serpent of light bursting forth from the raging sun, who could possibly stop it?

The king's laughter fell from the sky, and the forest outside the castle could only be ravaged.

"Berserker..."

It would indeed be unwise for Rider to act alone, but with the addition of another Servant, the situation is completely reversed.

Unless Archer arrives, facing this siege, their chances of survival are slim.

But will Archer come?

Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't figure out what the master and servant were thinking, and he couldn't possibly place his hopes on them.

To find hope of victory, one must first eliminate a Servant, turning the siege into a one-on-one situation.

Even if there are some costs, the situation will definitely be much better.

Kiritsugu Emiya turned around, grabbed Gungnir from the table, and headed towards the location of Rider's oxcart.

Compared to the majestic king who reigns in the high heavens, the conqueror who roams the earth seems more likely to be defeated.

“Saber, create an opportunity for me, or seize the chance to defeat Rider and unleash your Noble Phantasm. We must finish this quickly.”

Kiritsugu Emiya rarely entrusted Saber with such a task.

Chapter Forty: Victory

Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber quickly passed through the interior of the castle and headed to the balcony in front of the hall.

If enemies break through from the main gate, they will definitely be encountered there.

"Rider may have other methods that he hasn't revealed before. To defeat him quickly, we can't let him use any other Noble Phantasms he might have."

“The holy sword in your hand is more suitable than this gun that cannot be fully utilized. Let me try to create an opportunity first, but if Rider is not attracted, and you are still the main target, we can reverse the situation and let me try to take down Rider with Gungnir.”

On the way, Kiritsugu Emiya quickly explained to Saber.

This is not a complicated tactic, but rather very simple and straightforward.

There's no need to go into too much detail; Saber will definitely be able to understand and execute it.

But Kiritsugu Emiya still chose to do so, only relinquishing his control.

But this was indeed a choice that had to be made for the sake of victory.

Gungnir is indeed very famous, and as the weapon of Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, it is no ordinary weapon.

However, as a borrowed Noble Phantasm, and the person using it is not a Servant but just an ordinary magician, the power that this Noble Phantasm can unleash is probably somewhat worrying.

It's worth noting that during the Holy Grail War in Romania, Achilles, who was known for lending out his Noble Phantasm, was unable to unleash its full power even after lending it to Astolfo, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors.

Therefore, no matter how powerful this divine spear is, in the hands of Kiritsugu Emiya, besides certainly being able to unleash the weapon's inherent characteristics, the extent to which it can be wielded is another matter entirely.

However, the holy sword that Saber held in both hands was undoubtedly capable of unleashing its full power.

Therefore, Kiritsugu Emiya still chose to implement a strategy with Saber as the main character.

"I understand, I've been waiting for this opportunity."

Saber's experience in this Holy Grail War was not very good. Several battles started strong but ended weakly, and she had no idea what she was doing.

Perhaps only the battle with Lancer was somewhat interesting; the other battles were completely stagnant, especially Manshu, who seemed to be teasing people as if she were just playing around.

Only now have I felt a renewed sense of urgency; this is what war should feel like.

"Finally, make a wish upon this gun."

Kiritsugu Emiya placed Gungnir in front of him. Legend has it that if you swear an oath before this gun, the oath will surely come true. It is said that this may be the origin of wishing upon a shooting star.

Saber knew this story, so she made a vow of victory without hesitation, not only to Gungnir, but also to the holy sword in her hand.

This was a vow made long ago, and now it is simply being reaffirmed, and it must be fulfilled.

Just as the two had expected, Rider, who had broken through the outer barrier and entered through the main gate on his oxcart, was in the courtyard.

The divine bull chariot, surrounded by lightning, tore the perfectly intact barrier ritual to shreds with its relentless destruction.

Despite the Einzbern family's long-standing presence here, their extensive preparations proved fragile in the face of such inhuman creatures.

"Knight King, you've arrived. I've heard that you built a castle here, but I didn't expect it to be so shabby."

Rider, standing on his oxcart, noticed Saber's arrival the moment she reached the balcony, and smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"If that's all you're trying to say, then you're going too far. I'll treat guests with the courtesy due to them, but when it comes to enemies, I have nothing to offer you except to wield my sword, Rider!"

Saber jumped off the balcony and said to Rider without any politeness.

"Give it your all, Saber, and win this battle!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiritsugu Emiya used one of the two remaining Command Seals in his hand.

This left him with only one Command Seal, but it was a necessary sacrifice to find a way to survive.

The immense magical power of the Command Seal was instantly poured into Saber's body, enhancing her attributes and senses.

"I will bring victory back; this is the oath sworn by the sword in my hand."

Saber's eyes gleamed with excitement. The King of Knights had been lonely for too long; the achievements of slaying giant beasts were simply not enough to satisfy him.

The surging magic transformed into a gale that swirled around the holy sword. No words were needed; simply sensing the overflowing battle intent, everyone on the battlefield should know what to do.

Rider is by no means someone who would spoil the mood; he is also someone who can appreciate the fun.

"Hmph, I did boast to some arrogant king that I would win, but victory can only be won by one person."

Rider spread his arms wide and let out a loud, unrestrained laugh.

"Come, Saber, experience the ravages of the Conqueror King. If you lose, join my army. Even then, the treatment will be the same, and we can discuss it at will."

Rider still couldn't forget this point, and said it to Saber.

Rider has done this several times in the past, defeating kings and generals he admires, ignoring their authority and wealth, simply to collect their souls.

This is his path of conquest: to win without being destroyed, to dominate without being humiliated, to defeat all those who stand in his way, and to display the posture of conquest.

"Then let's see if you can beat me, Rider, but you'd better be prepared, because I will never lose."

This was beyond question; Saber firmly believed it.

As long as she held the hilt of the holy sword in her hand, she believed she would never lose.

She made a vow of victory before this sacred sword, forged for the planet.

The surging magic made a whooshing sound on the sword, and with a momentum that was as powerful as heaven and earth, Saber swung the holy sword in her hand.

Rider⑼∑④↑⑻:【贰{∵㈣叁㈢０☆★wu腫zHUaNQuN：He also drove the oxcart beneath him without reservation, and began his domineering rampage at this moment. That was the path of the conqueror king.

This distant ravaging and domination is the desire to reach the end of the sea, to bring conquest to its true end.

Rider swung his bronze sword, and the divine bull roared as it stepped on lightning, unleashing its domineering conquest and divine might.

Chapter 41 Feint to the East, Attack in the West

The raging lightning left a dark scorch mark in the Einzbern family's courtyard, and the divine bull's iron hooves, treading on the lightning, also shattered the ground beneath its feet.

The wheels, brimming with divine power, spun rapidly. Any target that fell into the chariot's impact would undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow.
