The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"This is just an escape, Miss Atalanta."

"Whether it's escapism or something else, nothing will change in the end. Anastasia!"

Kadeke wasn't here to watch them persuade Atalanta. He couldn't let Chaldea really win over these precious Heroic Spirits; he didn't have that many pieces left to play.

"I am grateful to you for freeing me from the fear of the Tsar, but one thing is one thing, but at least I will make sure you suffer no pain."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not going to give it to you for nothing. You bastard, get out of my way!"

Beowulf rebuked them without hesitation, pointing his sword at the enemy in front of him.

“Yagamen”.

Anastasia only summoned the Yaga, not only the Yaga from Moscow, but also the Yaga from the rebel army who came with them.

This is a battle that will determine the fate of the world, and the rebels will inevitably, and can only, stand on Anastasia's side.

“You must be a good old-blooded person. We hope you will step down. We... don't want to kill you either…”

Yaga, who was following Beowulf, said this. Beowulf, who had been ignited with fighting spirit and was about to swing his twin swords, found himself in a difficult position.

“A fine allocation, but even Ivan the Terrible couldn’t stop me. Anastasia, do you think you can stop me until Fujimaru Ritsuka is killed by Atalanta?”

Beowulf was blocked by the Yaga, and Atalanta ran towards Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, while Anastasia naturally stood in front of Manju.

Although there aren't many pieces, they're enough to match each other, so there's still a chance of winning this battle.

"In this Lostbelt, I have become the Tsar. Therefore, I am able to wield immense power. Let us first turn our dreams into reality."

Anastasia had taken the throne from the Tsar, from the founder of Tsarist Russia, as a descendant of the Tsar.

A violent tremor came from the distant Imaginary Tree. After floating in the Russian Lostbelt for three months, the Imaginary Tree was finally able to take root in this land.

"In Russia, the Tsar is absolute. Anastasia has ascended the throne and has become the new Tsar. What you need to do is overthrow your guy, not stop him."

"Hmm, that's more like my Master, Kadoc. Come, Vi. Show him your true form. Romanov's treasure, spirit of calamity. Reveal your terrifying demonic eyes that can see through everything."

I am no longer the princess of the Beast Kingdom. My name is Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova. As the new Tsar of Russia, I will punish the enemies of my contractors and purge the enemies of Russia!

Chapter Nineteen is fully revealed

Salieri's mission was complete, and he played the music he had poured out with all his emotions, but now he had almost no strength left.

Playing music to clear out all the surrounding Yaga was simply impossible, and Atalanta nimbly darted around.

This exceptional huntress, when transformed into a beast, is the most dangerous beast of all. She not only thinks like a wild animal in battle, but also observes everything with the keen insight of a hunter.

Although they haven't gone into a frenzy and won't launch an attack recklessly, the sheer number of Yaga surrounding them is enough to pose a threat.

Mash's shield can indeed withstand attacks, but without unleashing her Noble Phantasm, she can't completely protect those behind her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was ultimately just an ordinary human being; while her body wasn't as fragile as an average person's, it wasn't far off.

The Yaga's firearms are capable of hunting down the magical beasts that live in this icy wasteland; the creatures that inhabit this place possess extremely tenacious vitality.

But can Atalanta truly dedicate herself wholeheartedly to this battle?

With Billy the Kid arriving and neutralizing the Yaga's firepower, the tide of battle clearly began to turn.

Atalanta felt that the bow, which usually moved with effortless grace, now felt incredibly heavy.

She knew perfectly well that she had strayed from the right path, but she simply couldn't ignore the living, breathing child standing before her. ④

Whether it was real or fake, or even just a phantom vengeful spirit, she couldn't ignore it.

This was not the end for the traitor, but rather the fate Atalanta had long known she would face. *Sigh*

Billy's pinpoint marksmanship allowed three bullets to pierce through Atalanta's defenses, striking her spirit core and claiming her life.

Sweet dreams, Atalanta.

Billy put his gun away; the battle was over. If Yaga had any self-awareness, he should have known to lay down his weapon.

"How could this be... Boss...!"

The Yaga, who belonged to the rebels, immediately surrounded Atalanta, who lay on the ground. They knew all too well who Atalanta was fighting for; even beasts could understand that.

"Everyone, I'm sorry..."

Atalanta simply said apologetically, "I already knew that this Lostbelt is evil in the history of humankind..."

Ultimately, I knew I couldn't escape being cut, but I kept quiet about it. Because I was always confused; this couldn't possibly be right...

"No. That's not right, boss!"

The rebel Yaga couldn't help but shout that they weren't blind or emotionless wooden figures.

"Actually, we all know, we know that you sob silently every night! We know that you have always felt guilty towards us, and we know that you, who are stronger than any of us, always believe that the weak who should be abandoned still have a tomorrow!"

"What……"

"Everyone understands this principle, yet you never gave up, even though we were planning to leave you to die! We knew that even if we won, you would still die, and we were truly guilty..."

Da Vinci had just made this clear, and the Yaga, the rebels, also knew that Atalanta was fighting for them at the cost of her own life.

However, they couldn't refuse, and they couldn't help Atalanta, who had been persistently helping them die. They couldn't even say they would stand by and watch her die; on the contrary, they were more willing to give her a push.

Even so, Atalanta continues to fight here, and even the Yaga shed tears, feeling sorrow for it.

"Is that so... It seems my acting skills aren't quite up to par yet. Don't worry about it, you've done nothing wrong... The instinct to live is a biological one, and also destiny..."

Fujimaru! Just as you said, what you should do is fight, fight, and protect your world... Although I am no longer qualified to support you, please allow me to at least pray for you..."

Atalanta, filled with remorse, comforted Fujimaru Ritsuka before vanishing as a ray of light from the depths of her soul.

It's certainly hard to be prepared to destroy the world, but now that things have come to this, there's no noble reason to give; all that's needed is the simplest thing: to survive.

Of the seven ancient histories and seven strange tales, only one can ultimately emerge victorious. Only one world can survive, and if one cannot win, death is inevitable.

……

"New Tsar, is this all the confidence you have? In my opinion, it's far from enough. Ivan the Terrible can't exhaust me much."

Seeing Anastasia and Kadoc looking so spirited, Manshu smiled and said, but he also perked up.

"Since you are the newly born emperor, then show me some respect, after all, you have chosen a rather unfavorable time to be my enemy."

The battle undoubtedly began during the day, which was indeed a very suitable time for fighting. The weather at night had a significant impact on visibility and other factors, and when communication was not perfect, even information and orders were not easy to convey.

But during the day, it was Manshu's domain. Although the blizzard obscured the sky and made it difficult to see much sunlight, what did this blizzard matter?

"I just want you to know, not to be aware. In reality, the sun is always watching over me, and when the sunlight falls on me, I possess the power to destroy your world."

Although it's past noon, there's still a considerable amount of time before nightfall, so you have absolutely no chance of winning. However, I'm still interested to watch your final struggle.

As Manju spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a two-horned horse, responding to the call, galloped across the snow, leaving a trail of melted ice.

"It's about time this blizzard stopped. Although it can't block out the sunlight, it still obstructs people's vision, making them uncomfortable."

Rise from the horizon, ascend and shine from the clouds, great Harakti!

Manjushri called upon the name of Horus of the horizon, causing a ray of sunlight to rise from the horizon and shine upon the earth, dispelling all the blowing snow. How dazzling that light was! In an instant, it melted the snow.

Then Manjusaka mounted his two-horned horse. The aura of the God of War still emanated from the horse, radiating waves of heat. There was no snow or ice under the horse's feet, and even the water had evaporated, revealing the colors of the earth.

“We can’t defeat you before the sun sets… Is it some kind of blessing from the knight Gawain? If so, his intention to dispel the snowstorm isn’t so simple.”

Kadoc pondered Manshu's words, realizing that in the battle against Ivan the Terrible, the effects of the high-altitude blizzard were actually minimal.

Moreover, when Ivan the Terrible awoke, his enormous size was already enough to block out everything, and the rolling lightning rendered the weather meaningless.

Moreover, the snow and wind here are not simply due to natural weather conditions, but also Anastasia's magic.

"Give the command with a command spell, and unleash a blizzard to blot out the sky and freeze the enemy!"

Although it's unclear whether what the other party said is true or false, since we've come this far, there's no time to distinguish between truth and falsehood in this final battle that will decide the outcome. Let's treat everything as real.

The Command Seals in one's hand are meant to be used at the most crucial moments, and this is undoubtedly the most important battle, so these three Command Seals should be used here.

The Command Seal used immediately transformed into magic and was bestowed upon Anastasia, allowing her to continue unleashing terrible blizzards with her magic.

Russia's land is permafrost, where snow and ice never cease, and Anastasia will bring just as extreme cold, freezing the entire facility during her attack on Chaldea.

The wind and snow, which had just been defeated by the flames and the sun, rose again, howling across the land with several times the force of the storm.

"Welcome the cold winter, let it all be quiet. I will freeze you and wait for the sun to melt you on its own."

The howling snowstorm attempted to obscure the sky with its sheer volume and freeze the enemy ahead with its extreme cold. ②

It must be said that this is indeed a feasible method, since the so-called protection of the sun is entirely based on sunlight rather than time.

If you block out the sun, you won't receive its energy, even if it's still daytime. 4

"But this level of snow and wind is far from enough, Your Majesty the current Tsar of Russia! Show me more of your power, for this level of snow and wind cannot stop me!" Lin

The biting wind whipped around Manshu, and in an instant, ice crystals formed all over his body. The cold seemed capable of freezing even magic; an ordinary person would likely turn into a block of ice in no time. (iv)

Then we must seek out high temperatures, and Manju happens to have a scorching high temperature to look for: the dragon's fiery breath. 3.

"Wash away this snowstorm as a stain on your sins, and honor the magnificent sun. Awaken, Gorinich—'The Evil Dragon Spits Out Sin (Змей Горыныч)'!!" 5

Manjusaki summoned the legendary three-headed dragon, Grinich. The dragon's triple flames collided with the fierce blizzard created by the Command Seal's magic, melting ice into rain, which then vaporized into steam. This steam, upon encountering the cold, refluxed back into water, only to condense again into ice in the frigid conditions.

Extreme heat and extreme cold collide here, and Manju rides his two-horned horse through it.

This Noble Phantasm, obtained from Nikitich, is not merely about summoning the three-headed dragon Gorinich. After being scorched by the triple flames, it also allows for a swift attack by identifying an opening and actively approaching the enemy.

This Noble Phantasm is composed of triple dragon breath, plus the Servant's own ultimate attack.

Manju, wielding a trident and riding a two-horned horse, used the dragon's breath as cover to pierce through the wind and snow and fiercely thrust at Anastasia.

However, such a distance cannot be traversed in the blink of an eye. Avisbro's surprise attack was successful because he directly utilized the snow and wind surrounding Anastasia, turning it into a golem to launch the assault.

This attack was launched directly from the attacker's surroundings, so it was impossible for the attacker to react in time, but even so, it was impossible to deliver a fatal blow.

"Use a Command Spell to command the release of the Noble Phantasm!"

Despite being a Caster, Anastasia's magical power is not inexhaustible; she had already unleashed both of her Noble Phantasms during her previous battle against Ivan the Terrible.

Later, when facing the Thunder Emperor alone, he expended a large amount of magic power. Now, it is obviously impossible for Anastasia to quickly unleash her Noble Phantasm on her own.

Without hesitation, Kadoc used his second Command Seal without reservation, unleashing a surge of magical power that allowed Anastasia to immediately unleash her two Noble Phantasms.

"'Afterglow, Bloodstained Fortress of Calamity (Sum erki Kremlin)'! 'Swift Strike - Elf's Eye (Viy Viy Viy)'!"

The Tsar's palace, the Kremlin, was immediately erected on the ground, and Manshu's charge could only crash against the fortress walls, failing to destroy the stronghold.

This was, after all, just a fierce attack on a person, a strike that seized an opening after a powerful dragon's breath to defeat the servant, and it did not have the ability to attack an army or a city.
