The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Upon waking, Osmandis felt his mind and thoughts were incredibly confused and sluggish. He instinctively called for his servants to summon his most important friend to relieve his troubles.

“Great Pharaoh! While you slept, evil enemies invaded the bountiful lands of Egypt, ravaged the lands you ruled, and harmed your people.”

Lord Moses, who had been guarding the Great Temple while you were asleep, learned of the situation and, together with the other lords, went to fight the invading enemies, but they were all defeated and killed by evil.

Our great kingdom is on the brink of danger, and it is for this reason that your loyal servants have disturbed your slumber, waking you from your long rest.

The eight kneeling servants below the throne spoke with tearful voices, causing the king, who had just woken up and was still suffering from a headache, to widen his eyes in surprise.

"Moses is dead? How ridiculous! What kind of enemy could possibly kill my dearest friend on Egyptian soil! To vanish before my throne! My anger can only be quelled by crushing all the villains!"

Still in a daze, Osmandis was filled with nothing but anger.

Osmandis did not vent his anger on the servants below, but simply waved them all out of the main temple before activating the great temple.

The patterns in the main temple, resembling magical circuits, lit up instantly, illuminating the entire temple.

Amidst the roaring flow of magical energy, intense heat and high temperatures will converge atop numerous temples.

"Since you dare to invade the land I rule, then prepare to say goodbye to this world. Kneel down and behold my divine light, and perish in my boundless glory!"

Osmandis's wrath will unleash a raging torrent of light, activating all the cannons of the temple complex, which will emit a light like the reflection of stars on the ground.

"The pyramids ahead are glowing; have the beasts dwelling there finally reached their limit?"

As the pyramids roared, the crowd rushing towards the area also noticed this.

Osmandis's anger came swiftly; the moment the Great Temple was activated, the temple's main cannon, capable of firing, was immediately engaged.

Fiery magical light shot out from the top of the temple like raging serpents of light, and countless beams of magical light bombarded the land in front of the pyramid.

"Get out of the way!"

Just before the heat and light struck, Ilya hurriedly swung his greatsword, which transformed into a barrier in front of the three of them. The next moment, the overwhelming heat and light engulfed the area.

"That was a pretty terrifying and swift attack. Now that's more like it."

The greatsword, which had transformed into a shield, and the mountain-like armor withstood the terrible barrage of fire, and Ilya advanced forward like a bulwark.

"It was a terrifying and violent light. If I were alone here, I probably wouldn't be able to stop it at all, and I would be burned to ashes."

The dazzling light made Arash involuntarily squint, marveling at the terrifying heat and light so close at hand. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

However, with Ilya in front of them, Mash quickly joined in, and their combined efforts allowed the team to continue advancing despite the artillery fire.

The raging light and heat were indeed terrifying; under such a comprehensive attack, Servants without defensive capabilities would likely not be able to escape unscathed.

However, for heroic spirits with defensive capabilities, they can still successfully pass through it after paying a certain price.

This is not pure, absolute violence, but an attack at the military level intended to flatten this land.

"Fortunately, Brother Cursed Wrist was right under that pyramid, which allowed him to avoid the attack."

Otherwise, even if Hassan of Cursed Arm modified his body and possessed terrifying physical abilities, he would probably still be left with scars.

As the terrifying light and heat emanated from the temple, Hassan of Cursed Arm immediately ascended the steps of the Great Temple, thus avoiding the wide-area attack.

“I was blinded by excessive anger. I should have done everything in my power to eliminate the enemy of my dear friend Moses. My judgment was too lenient.”

After the boundless light and heat subsided, Osmandis, with the power of a god-king, surveyed the earth, only to find no one shattered in his rage.

This made Osmandis realize that Moses, his close friend, was no less of a hero than himself. Even though the enemy had many people, their ability to defeat Moses was enough to demonstrate their strength.

Terrifying lightning gathered above the main temple, where the Central Heaven Cannon, located at the top of the main temple, possessed a terrifying power capable of carbonizing the entire city of Tokyo.

With the God-King's decision, the enormous Dendra sphere of electricity roared like the fury of the sky, and this terrifying divine power emanated from above the main temple.

The enraged Osmandis would indeed not immediately think of the giant electric ball of Dendra, because the falling lightning would not be an angry punishment, but a knowing mercy.

Everything will be destroyed in an instant, turning into dust under this immense power. Without pain, it can hardly be called punishment.

"Above the pyramid, immense magical power is gathering! Lord Ilya, please step behind me! Master! Mr. Arash, do not leave my side!"

Chapter Seventy-Three Intrusion

The thunderous lightning was the Pharaoh's way of fully proclaiming his divine might to the heavens and earth. The lightning, containing boundless divine power, was released from above the main temple, unleashing the god-king's pure rage, yet also bringing with it divine mercy.

Faced with this terrifying attack that could level the entire city and turn it to dust, Mash could only strengthen her resolve and unleash her shield once more.

This shield, which can never be broken as long as the heart remains untainted, indeed possesses the power to withstand the Pharaoh's judgment. (8)

But to have that petite body stand in front is something even heroes and warriors cannot accept.

"Haha... Thank you for your kindness, Mash. But what you need to do is protect your Master and Lord Arash. I haven't fallen so low that I need to rely on others for protection. My identity is that of a guardian, not someone being protected." 7.

Ilya smiled and refused Mash's offer, tapping his silver-gray armor with his sword to demonstrate his robust physique and comprehensive defense. (Liu)

"That lightning bolt was indeed terrifying enough. Even Solovey Razboynik, the Nightingale Bandit I once captured—the incarnation of a dragon and serpent, and the last remaining figure of the earth god Veles on this land—would probably have been swallowed by it. But I'm different. Nothing can kill me, and my lightning is no less formidable!"

Ilya felt no fear; he never feared death, nor had he ever received it from his enemies. (3)

In a story from the past that took place on the land of Rus, Ilya once came to a fork in the road, where three signs pointed to the different paths leading to what each path led to.

One road leads to a beautiful woman, another to inexhaustible wealth, and the last road leads to death.

Arriving at this fork in the road, Ilya, knowing he already had a lover and that wealth was useless to him, resolutely stepped onto the path leading to death. 2

In the end, Ilya escaped the trap of death, defeating the Grim Reaper who brought death, proving that even the death bestowed by fate could not break him.

How could such a person have any fear in his heart? Even death cannot subdue him. He will only face it calmly, laugh, and move forward.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ilya, Mashu had no choice but to give up. Since Ilya was so confident in himself, it was indeed not good to say anything more.

"Don't be discouraged. That's just the kind of person Ilya is. He'll only stand tall and move forward, and he'll never stand behind others."

Arash comforted Mash from behind, and Mash nodded in understanding. Then she released her Noble Phantasm, allowing the Chalk City of Camelot to reappear on this land.

The lightning that turned the earth to dust descended upon everyone, engulfing Ilya's figure in an instant before crashing down on the walls of the Chalk City.

The terrifying lightning shook the pristine white city, but ultimately failed to shatter its walls, stopping only there.

"Did I underestimate these people of no glory? They were able to withstand even my divine might, so they can indeed be considered a group of brave warriors. However, their crimes are still unforgivable. Let me see what they are capable of!"

Osmandis was astonished that none of the invaders had died under his lightning, which completely dispelled the drowsiness in his mind. Although he was still somewhat dazed and confused, it was enough for the Pharaoh to focus his mind on the battle.

Beneath the hidden lightning, Mash, who had been unleashing her Noble Phantasms one after another, nearly lost her footing and fell to the ground. Osmandis's lightning was far more terrifying than Brunhilde's continuous attacks, and it caused Mash to expend even more energy, making it difficult for her to hold on.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood behind Mashu the whole time, placing her right hand on Mashu's shoulder to provide whatever small amount of strength she could, and also to support Mashu, who was exhausted.

"It seems I've been exaggerating. My lightning isn't enough until the divinity within me is fully awakened."

Ilya walked over, shaking his head. The giant electric ball of Dendera had left a considerable wound on him, turning his silver-gray armor completely black.

Ilya did attempt to unleash the full power of the lightning he received from the great god Peron to resist the wrath of the god-king, but ultimately failed. Peron's lightning only managed to hold out for a moment before being destroyed.

Ilya walked forward with the idea of ​​trying to stop the giant electric ball of Dendra by himself, but he was not so sure if he could do it, so he didn't say it out loud.

"Such lightning is already the firepower of a top-tier Noble Phantasm; to survive it is already proof of one's strength."

"I suggest we hurry up and get to the pyramid. If they unleash another lightning bolt, it won't be easy to block it."

After a brief conversation, the group quickly headed towards the Great Temple.

Indeed, if Osmandis were to unleash another Dendra's Giant Electric Ball, Ilya might be able to withstand it, but the other three would be a different story.

Mashu was already quite exhausted, and as her Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also under considerable pressure in terms of magical energy.

However, Osmandis did not do so. After developing some interest, the Pharaoh was not prepared to easily eliminate these villains.

For a pharaoh, any action is interesting, and if possible, he might even pick up his favorite weapon and personally go into battle to kill the enemy.

The Pharaoh is a god who can control everything that happens in the world, although it seems that some problems are gradually emerging.

"Hmm, three heroic spirits in total, plus two living people and... a divine beast from Babylon? Hahaha! What an interesting lineup. It's barely enough to make a run for the gods' court, but even so, it's still impossible."

The Pharaoh merely squinted slightly, letting out a sneer as he watched everything unfold.

"Come and advance toward where I am, hahaha! You bunch of madmen, since you have perfectly conquered this first corridor, then come and advance! Savor my inner world and the divine power of this composite temple now established with its inherent barrier!"

⑨ This place is filled with countless ancient myths and is brimming with the power of life. Not to mention breaking into the palace of the god-king, even just breaking through the outermost corridor is an extremely difficult task.

4. "You've finally arrived. When the Sun King's giant electric ball was launched just now, it was a little worrying."

(8) Hassan of the Cursed Arm had been waiting on the steps of the Great Temple for a long time, and happily spoke to everyone.

2. "Is that the Sun King's Noble Phantasm?"

"That's right, I saw it during the battle between the Sun King and the Lion King, when a giant electric ball shot from above the temple collided with the Lion King's holy judgment."

Hassan, the Cursed Arm, is a contemporary Hassan living here. He has personally experienced everything from the Crusade led by the devil Richard to the occupation of the holy city of Jerusalem to the present day.

"So, does that mean everything the Sun King possessed, which was swallowed up by the beasts of this place, has been usurped? Or has the sun been assimilated by darkness and sunk into the mud of depravity?"

"The Caster I killed here told me that going up the stairs leads to the bewitched king and the queen hiding behind him. The bewitched king is probably the Sun King, and the queen must be the evil of this place."

Hassan, the Cursed Arm, immediately answered Ilya's question, but it didn't sound like good news, as there was one more enemy.

"So, do we still need to defeat that Sun King?"

"It seems so. I never thought I would have the opportunity to personally challenge that Sun King. Without further ado, let's go."

Arash said with a sigh that they lived in the same era, but had only seen a very vague shadow of each other.

However, according to normal historical records, when the Persians established their state, Ramses II had been dead for 500 years, and when Ramses II was alive, the Persian region was still under the rule of Elam.

Elam would soon defeat and annex the Babylonian kingdom, becoming the leading power in West Asia. It was not until the last dynasty of Elam fell into decline that the Persians broke free from Elam's control and became an independent kingdom.

However, there's no need to be so clear about mythology. The First Dynasty of Persia recorded in the Book of Kings has no historical record; the actual First Dynasty of Persia is the Second Dynasty in mythology.

The group stepped onto the stairs and entered the interior of the Temple of Osmandis.

Upon entering, the divine power emanating from the great temple, akin to the curses of ancient Egyptian gods, began to relentlessly erode the limbs of all intruders.

Various toxins, which would kill a healthy organism in just two seconds, would relentlessly erode the lungs and internal organs of all invaders, causing a continuous decline in ability parameters and even a weakening of skill levels.

Fortunately, the few people present were not poisoned instantly. Even the only ordinary person present, Fujimaru Ritsuka, possessed a miraculous poison resistance of unknown origin.

"It's a curse, a curse with divine power that permeates this place. It's a truly terrifying place. I never expected you to be able to withstand it."

As Ilya entered the temple, his armor, charred black by lightning, suddenly glowed. The surging magic activated the armor to defend against external invasion.

However, tiny black dots could still be seen climbing up Ilya's armor, which, as a manifestation of the sacred mountain, could not completely shield him from the curse of the ancient Egyptian gods.

It is astonishing that Fujimaru Ritsuka, who appears normal despite being in the midst of it, is also affected by the curse and poison, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"I seem to have a pretty good resistance to the poison, which is a good thing, at least I won't have to give up this fight because of my physical condition."
