The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"In that case, you don't have many options left. The Russian ley lines are also sealed off, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's magical talent alone can't provide you with any magic power. Chaldea doesn't have any facilities to supply magic power either. Do you still have the strength to unleash the trident of Shiva in your hand?"

As Qiu Kadok watched Manshu return empty-handed, a glimmer of hope for victory flashed in his eyes.

(iv) It is impossible to breach Anastasia's fortress by relying solely on the dragon's breath, since it only temporarily summons the three-headed dragon Gorinich, rather than summoning it completely.

Eight breath attacks are hardly enough; they're just a rather special A-rank anti-army Noble Phantasm. Anastasia's Fortress, on the other hand, is an A+ rank Noble Phantasm, which is sufficient to withstand such an attack.

2. "Did you think that Fujimaru Ritsuka's demonic offerings weren't enough to support me like I did just now?"

④ This is a reasonable speculation. Fujimaru Ritsuka's talent as a magician is indeed insufficient, and her supply of magic to Servants actually relies more on Chaldea.

Chaldea provides magical energy to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who then uses that magical energy to attack her Servants. However, Chaldea, now in dire straits, even needs to rely on heavenly lightning to summon its Servants.

(iii) "Even someone like me would feel tired from expending so much magic power like this, but I must say, I still have just enough energy left to unleash my Noble Phantasm."

Ling Manshu raised the trident in her hand, watching Kadoc's expression change constantly. Without hesitation, she released the Noble Phantasm in her hand, letting all the magic power surge into this powerful weapon.

His magic level wasn't particularly high this time, and there were still some issues with his output, but it was more than enough to handle this kind of battle.

"Shiva, destroy the three realms!"

Manju shouted loudly and hurled the trident in his hand. The power to destroy everything gathered at the tip of the trident and fell with flames that could burn everything.

"By issuing a command spell, I shall become emperor!"

Kadoc will hand over his last Command Seal, but this time it is a broad command; the vast magical power will be used only to strengthen Anastasia, enabling her to recover from destruction.

Chapter Twenty: Departure

Even the fortress Anastasia summoned with the blood of the Tsar could not withstand the flames that ravaged the land.

The raging flames engulfed the entire Kremlin in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the sturdy and magnificent fortress vanished into the frozen land.

Kadoc's last Command Seal has transformed into magic and flowed into the land engulfed by the magic released by the trident, allowing the faint wind and snow to continue to blow here, and ensuring that the power that commands this land stands firm and unyielding.

When the flames and magic subsided, Anastasia remained standing. Only the ground she stood on was no longer charred remains from the fire.

Kadoso∩&So∽｀：Nine? 『〇′⊥㈣】)Rake＝＿⑷♀‖②jiu≥¨澪⊥※ Although the Command Spells of the creatures are broad, they are indeed effective for Anastasia at this moment.

She had just taken over the reins of the Tsar from Ivan the Terrible, and perhaps the power she had gained from this land was not yet sufficient; she might still seem inexperienced as Tsar.

The magic of the Command Seals accelerated all of this, urging Anastasia to become the true Tsar.

But this only allowed Anastasia to survive the trident. The magic she obtained from the ley lines prevented her blizzard from being completely burned away. As a Caster, she still had her merits.

"Ugh...!? We're clearly stronger... We're the stronger ones, why?!"

Kadoc clutched his aching body in pain. Although Anastasia had fallen, defeat was inevitable.

Although it was successfully resisted, it did not mean that there were no consequences. The enormous magical burden even caused the Master's magical circuits to ache so much that they broke out in a cold sweat.

"How many battles do you think I've experienced before? I got here by winning every single one of them. I'm stronger in both experience and skill. I thought you'd realized that, but it seems you haven't."

Manshu shook his head, somewhat puzzled as to why Kadoc would have such a perception.

Although Kadoc made some outrageous remarks at the beginning, it was clearly not a confident action, not that it was a show of bravado with no substance.

"What are you saying... It's not over yet, it's not finished!"

Kadoc still seemed unable to accept his defeat, looking down at the ground beneath his feet, and roared loudly in resentment.

"I promised her I would make her Tsar! If it doesn't work in this world, then I'll create another world! In that different world, I'll make her Tsar. I won't give up! I absolutely won't give up!"

Kadoc seemed to have some desperate measures up his sleeve, and even Manshu sensed a threat in him. In that case, there was no need to take any risks.

"I haven't run out of cards yet! Use this Great Command Spell!"

A strange light flickered in Kadoc's eyes, as if he were grasping at the last hope, like a deserter clutching his last drop of water.

However, Kadoc's actions were thwarted. If he were to act, he shouldn't have wasted so much time on empty talk; he should have just taken action.

Such a statement, which sounds like a premonition before use, is undoubtedly telling others to kill you as soon as possible.

However, what he needs to do today, at the cost of his own life, is to keep saying these words to muster his courage, which is not something to be criticized for.

Whatever Kadoc intends to do, as a human, his abilities are certainly inferior to those of a Servant, both in terms of reaction time and attack time.

However, Kadoc did not die. The white figure standing in front of him flashed to Kadoc's side.

Kadoc stared incredulously at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him and collapsed into his arms, uttering incredulously: "Er..."

"How could this be... Anastasia! What are you doing!?" Jiu

"You're such a fool, Kadoc. If you die, I'll die too. I'm a Servant, it's only natural for me to do that, isn't it?"

Anastasia turned her head and said with a smile.

“No, I possess a Great Command Seal, a privilege reserved for Hidden Ones. By using this Great Command Seal to reset the new world, you can overthrow everything, achieve victory… you can win!” (Thoughts)

“You’re foolish. What’s the point of this kind of victory? I am Anastasia, the rightful heir to the Romanov dynasty. Plunder cannot be called a victory.” (3)

Anastasia simply shook her head, rejecting Kadoc's suggestion.

"Even so..." Lu

"No suicide pacts, no self-destruction. Calm down, Kadoc. I always believe that no matter how many wrong choices you make, you will definitely be able to accurately complete what you are supposed to do." (4)

Anastasia kept trying to comfort Kadoc, but Kadoc instinctively shook his head, a self-deprecating expression on his face.

"No, I won't. I always, always dwell on the regret of not being able to do what I should have done."

"Live on with this regret, Master."

Anastasia spoke her last words with a smile, and a flash of lightning disappeared from her chest; her spirit core had been shattered.

“I could never do something like that again, stepping forward to block an attack. You know what? I didn’t save you because you’re so great. It was because you trusted me that I did what a Servant should do. You should be proud of that, you’re such a lovely person…”

"Woo..."

Kadoc seemed to have completely lost the will to resist, and at Anastasia's last words, he finally gave up on using the Command Spell to detonate himself.

"Wow, this is a great achievement! You actually captured Kadoc Zemrups alive!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's battle ended and she rushed over. When she saw Kadoc tied to the ground, Goldruff jumped out excitedly and said...

“Take him back to Shadow Border, I’m going to make him give a thorough and honest explanation.”

However, before Goldrov could finish speaking, an alarm sounded beside him.

"What happened this time?"

"An emergency! Immense magical power has been observed from the Imaginary Tree!"

Da Vinci immediately came out to report the source of the alarm.

"The power of the Demon 6 is astonishing! It's at the level of a god, almost reaching the true ether! The humanity of the planet is regressing, gradually returning to the command of the gods! It's not an exaggeration at all; if this continues, the world will be overturned!"

"So the Imagination Tree has already started! There's still time. From what I've observed, it's only recently taken root. We should cut it down before it becomes too firmly established!"

"Cut that thing down!?"

Upon hearing Holmes's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only turn her gaze to Manshu.

The Imaginary Tree only looks like a tree on the outside; how could an ordinary person possibly climb up and cut it down? A person placed under the tree would probably not even be considered an ant.

"Please, we will support you to the fullest extent! This is the last resort. All the remaining management of Shadow Border will be transferred to your Servants! This way, we can conduct aerial combat in a short time!"

Ever since we arrived in Russia, we've been gazing down at our mysterious tree. Now, let's see for ourselves what it truly is!

As Da Vinci spoke, he operated the equipment, utilizing all the resources that Chaldea could currently employ.

"Then leave it to me. Do you want to come along?"

"Yes, Mash Kyrielight will now provide support and be responsible for protecting her Master!"

Mash responded loudly, and Kadoc on the other side also played a slight role, revealing some information he knew.

"Alright, based on Kadoc's statement, we will designate the enemy entity as Lostbelt No. 1, Imaginary Tree Serpent! We will begin our ascent towards the central heat source, 5,000 meters above the ground...!"

Although this thing is called a snake, it is actually difficult to see any living components in it.

A white, patterned outer shell surrounds and forms the trunk of the Imaginary Tree, but this white outer shell is not completely connected; it is filled with gaps in the middle.

It looks like a mysterious high-tech weapon that stepped out of a science fiction movie.

After the magical energy from Chaldea was released, the remaining Servants Beowulf and Billy the Kid were able to successfully ascend into the air, heading towards a height of 5,000 meters to destroy the vitality of the Imaginary Tree.

As if sensing danger, the Imaginary Tree unleashed its magic from the cracks in its shell, launching an attack.

The magical power possessed by the Imaginary Tree is so incredible that it's hard to understand how it was created.

Although it has only just taken root and is still growing, it is already powerful enough to launch an attack that can shoot people down.

However, such magical attacks could not stop Manju. After all, an attack with only quantity and no quality is unlikely to stop any decent opponent.

With a casual wave of his hand, Manju blocked all the attacks. Holding the trident, he fiercely thrust it towards the Imaginary Tree.

The Imaginary Tree looks like a technological creation, with a white shell full of patterns and some hardness. When the trident hits it, it makes a sound like hitting steel, but it can only block the attack.

The Imaginary Tree's resistance lasted only a short time. Once the terrifying aura it had accumulated, covering the sky, was also blocked, the Imaginary Tree had no choice but to accept its fate.

"The heat source of the Imaginary Tree has disappeared! Now, I'll leave it to Mr. Volga to cut down this enormous tree."

After all, this imaginary tree looks to be at least three or four hundred meters in diameter, and apart from Manshu, no one else should be able to cut it down.

"Hmm! Over there!? There seems to be something near the tree roots..."

Just as everyone was descending from the sky to the base of the tree, preparing to cut down the Imaginary Tree, Mashu saw a strange female figure standing beneath the Imaginary Tree.

"what is that?"

Even Manjusaka was puzzled by the figure that appeared below, as she could not sense any life force and there seemed to be no reaction from any servants.

When you try to capture someone with your eyes and senses, you can only leave an image in your eyes; in your senses, it's as if nothing exists.

"Submarine, can you hear me? Submarine! Investigate the area 30 meters below the surface near the roots of the Imaginary Tree. What's there? Monitor it immediately!"

Mashu immediately called out to the people below, requesting equipment support.

However, everyone inside the submarine went to investigate the situation the moment the others showed signs of abnormality, but found nothing.

"What's going on? Can we consider that an enemy!?"

Mashu was also unsure of what to do.

“Mash, we can’t observe the person you’re talking about, but there is something there in front of you. That’s because there’s nothing there, and we can’t detect any reaction that belongs to Earth.”

There was a blank space, just enough for one person, as if a void had seeped out from the void itself. Although the machines couldn't detect the figure, the blank space proved that something truly existed there!
