The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Otherwise, Shadow Border would have been buried under snow and sealed off by ice long ago.

Leonardo da Vinci speculated in this way, thus revealing her opinion.

"The enemies that should be defeated are the traitors who call themselves the Hidden Ones, Ophelia, and her three followers, Siegfried." (5)

"If we challenge Sigurd again with our current strength, we should be able to bring him to his death."

The group's primary objective remains Sigurd, with their current action being to kill him and reclaim the Flat Moon.

While Manjuskin personally prefers to postpone defeating Sigurd, it is indeed not appropriate to show hostility towards Scáthach Skadi and directly declare war on her before defeating Sigurd.

Then, the goddess was indeed the queen who controlled all of Northern Europe, and her actions here could hardly be concealed.

Besides, since the other party did indeed show her love, let's put it aside for now.

“I have no objection to targeting Sigurd first, but I have a premonition that killing him will bring about a huge disaster. Therefore, we should formulate a plan based on the premise of preventing the sun in the sky from falling or exploding, or the huge magical power he possesses from exploding directly.”

Manshu only spoke based on the information he had. As for who should do it, that was probably up to Leonardo da Vinci to see if she could come up with any ingenious inventions.

Otherwise, we would probably have to be more careful, or fight with capturing the enemy alive as our primary objective.

This is indeed a plan worth considering. Although Sigurd possesses considerable power, with so many of them, plus Brunhilde herself having power against Sigurd, it is possible to render him powerless without killing him.

Manshu's words, naturally, wouldn't be questioned by anyone, and the adjustments to the plan immediately began. Besides that, there were also matters concerning Skadi's potential actions and Ophelia's Mystic Eyes.

The mass-produced Valkyries were almost completely wiped out. Even if there are still some left after losing hundreds of riders here, the remaining stock is probably not much.

Furthermore, only one prototype remained, a significant loss for Skadi in terms of combat power; all that was left were the giants under her control.

Therefore, the Queen's rule over the entire land still largely rests in her hands. With the Valkyries, who were her kin and managed the Norse Lostbelt, now completely wiped out, she should not face too much hindrance as long as she does not take the initiative to act.

This is obviously not something to worry about. If Skadi really wanted to launch an attack, she would have done so long ago, instead of waiting until now.

That way, we can focus entirely on Sigurd and her Master without any restrictions, leaving only Ophelia's gem-level Mystic Eyes as the only remaining threat.

"I'll handle that. I think I can manage it."

Brunhilde took the initiative to speak up, taking on the task of dealing with the Demon Eye herself.

With this in mind, everything was ready, and the next step was to plan how to defeat Sigurd.

fine linen……

Zero: "I think I'm enough to handle this kind of task of clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. You can all go down and rest; it's not a complicated job anyway."

The four submarines are advancing across the land, their destination being Skadi's castle.

They planned to defeat the Hermit and her servant Sigurd there before going to persuade the goddess Skadi.

Therefore, the giants are inevitable on the way forward. Although the giants cannot cause too much of an impact, if there are too many of them, it will still be quite troublesome.

Therefore, the three people besides Brunhilde are now standing on the external armor of the submarine.

However, Manchu felt that they could actually go down, or simply leave Napoleon up there.

So, Mashu seems completely unsuitable for this situation, so this is probably just to guard against the possibility of Valkyrie launching an attack.

After all, high-altitude attacks are indeed outside the submarine's defensive range. The question is whether mass-produced Valkyries still exist in this Lostbelt.

Anyway, they didn't see the Valkyrie attack until they could see Scáthach's castle from afar.

However, it didn't take long to clear the obstacles on the road before Manshu understood that there should indeed be more people on board.

After all, the snow scenery outside wasn't much to see while moving at such high speed, and besides, there wasn't much to see in the snow scenery for Manshu anyway.

Having just come from Russia, I was truly amazed by the beauty of this Nordic world, but after seeing so many places, it's clear that most of the time it all looks the same.

In a world made entirely of ice and snow, there's not much variety to be found; the only difference is the presence of floating, burning flames.

Although it looks fantastical, it gets less strange and amazing after watching it every day.

At this point, you obviously need someone to chat with to pass the time.

Although there doesn't seem to be much to talk about, we can still reminisce about the past, talk about previous experiences, and recount past stories.

This doesn't have much of an impact; time will pass quickly.

After all, if we're talking about what people chat about to pass the time, most of the time they'd probably just be talking about meaningless stories.

"Is that Scáthach's castle? It wasn't designed as a fortress, and it's reminiscent of modern European castles. Is this the composure of a ruler? Or is it simply so because there are no rebels?"

Regardless, the magical vortex is far stronger than blood ties, so it's probably difficult to detect within that castle. The structure is quite clear; there's only one bridge connecting the main tower, although it's possible to take a longer route and climb up from the bottom, but we lack information on that. So, let's officially begin the mission!

Leonardo da Vinci saw the snow-covered castle in the distance and couldn't help but marvel at this abode of the goddess.

The next step is to break through the bridge and defeat the swordsman wielding the Sun Sword.

"A straight-line assault! This is neither infiltration nor feigned capture—all-out assault! All-out assault! This is the final battle between the newly formed, magnificent legion and the Demon Sword Master!"

Napoleon, shouting with immense excitement, gave the order to attack. As for the newly formed, magnificent army, that was exactly what it sounded like. (8)

"Then I'm afraid a direct assault isn't necessary. It seems the enemy isn't planning on hiding; they've come out to meet us head-on. Sigurd is on the bridge!"

Although the castle's immeasurable distance was obscured by Skadi's dense magic, Sigurd's immense magical power was indeed difficult to conceal.

Manjusaka was deeply impressed by this strange great hero. Therefore, despite only sensing a faint presence, he recognized his location. ⑥

"Heh, heh heh, very good. Compared to before, your aura is much stronger. Even though each individual hasn't undergone drastic changes, how can you become so different? Children of humanity, heroic spirits of humanity." 6

Sigurd, wielding the magic sword Gram, strolled forward, taking the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy. (3)

“Sigurd…!”

"Hmm—it's been a long time. Although the last time I saw you was right after you were sealed away, you are also a Heroic Spirit from the pan-human history, which is why you have a reason to fight me."

Brunhilde, the elder sister of the Valkyrie and daughter of the great god. "Come on, even a demigod has its worth."

Upon hearing Brunhilde's voice, Sigurd merely turned his head, observing the unfamiliar figure.

This doesn't completely prove that the other person wasn't Sigurd; after all, in Sigurd's story, he did indeed suffer from amnesia and not recognize Brunhilde, and even helped someone else marry Brunhilde.

But based on all the previous actions, it is certainly possible to conclude that the other party may not be Sigurd. Q

"They're acting like complete outsiders."

"To me, you're an outsider."

Sigurd was somewhat confused and simply stated normally:

"Are you trying to imply that you're a Lostbelt Servant? A mere difference in pupil color won't make me mistake my prey. You are Sigurd, son of Siegmund, the King of Warriors whose abilities far surpass those of ordinary people."

My very existence tells me that you are the object of my love (or killing). This was something that should never have happened; my actions, my madness, were all for the sake of justice. But you stood on the side of the Lostbelt, choosing to walk the path of opposing humanity.

So—you will…die…, Sigurd!

Brunhilde had indeed heard Manshus's words, but they had clearly been forgotten.

Because her body, her spiritual origin, and her destiny all tell her that the man before her is her lover Sigurd, and the one she must kill.

"You're the one who will die, Valkyrie."

Siegfried responded to Jiu's words as nothing more than a normal pre-battle provocation, seemingly completely unaware of the story behind them.

From the other side, the surviving Valkyrie, Otrind, also flew over, which restored some of Brunhilde's rationality, and she rebuked her:

"Valkyrie Otlind. Step aside. You should have heard the wishes of your sisters. In that case, fighting me is meaningless and unnecessary. You should not interfere with my rendezvous (fight) with Sigurd. Please, step aside."

“My dear sister, I have thought about it, I have tried to think about it. I have pondered the meaning of Slud and Hild’s dying words. But I still cannot understand it. Although I have a slight feeling for it, I cannot put it into words. So I will wield the light gun, just as Slud and Hild once did.”

Audrinde, however, showed a resolute expression and did not heed the advice. Instead, she went to her death just like Slud and the others.

"Forcefully amplify combat capabilities, pushing the machine's performance and output to an excessive and out-of-control state. Excessive out of control, excessive out of control, synchronize with the magic power of the Demon Sword Gram, and begin coordinated combat!"

"Planning to follow me? I don't know the height of the sky, but it's quite interesting."

Sigurd did not refuse Otlind's request to join him in battle.

"What a beautiful sight! A great hero working in harmony with the Valkyrie, and here I am in the same predicament. Oh, how exhilarating! I yearn for the blood of a hero to fill my heart!"

That being said, Manjushri did not take out Shiva's trident, but instead took out Balmung.

"Use this weapon! Let me use this holy sword to slay dragons against your demonic sword of the sun! Let me witness the power of the strongest demonic sword! This time, show it all without holding back!"

Manju brandished his holy sword Balmong, issuing a challenge to battle.

The next moment, the two swords clashed on the ice bridge, and two pure monsters collided here.

"Sigurd...Sigurd...Now that we have met again, I will kill you right here!"

Brunhilde eagerly joined the battle, her silver spear now several times its original size.

Even so, the battle between these two factions made it difficult for Brunhilde to intervene.

The speed of the battle was so fast that even heroes struggled to keep up; the terrifying shockwaves from their clash could knock people over. (4)

But this did not deter Brunhilde; on the contrary, the intense battle only fueled the fire in her eyes.

Brunhilde was already engulfed in flames, and eventually, flames erupted from her body, threatening to consume her entirely. 4

"Ah, valiant hero. Ah, terrifying man. I thought I knew Sigurd well enough, but I never imagined that Sigurd, a war hero, would be so powerful. Umbrella"

Halfdan was equally powerful, a warrior who acted without hesitation. In such a ferocious battle, I could only… I could only burn myself to the very limit of my soul. Great God's Imprint - Prototype Activated. "5.

Muttering to herself, Brunhilde unleashed her full power without hesitation, beginning a process of self-destruction to reclaim the divinity that Odin had stripped from her.

Brunhilde, the Valkyrie's eldest sister and a demigod, has reappeared on this land, wielding the primordial runes with all her might, solely to kill her lover.

Chapter 42 Deactivation

"The scale of this magic is...!?"

Brunhilde suddenly erupted, the magical reaction emanating from her body enough to draw attention. Otrind, also a Valkyrie, explained from the side:

"Divine Imprint - Prototype Activated. This is a power that neither of us sisters possesses, a power that belongs only to our elder sister. Elder sister, our Brunhilde elder sister, you... you actually went to this extent..."

The Valkyries only possess magical markings of primordial runes created by the great god Odin. Although they also possess astonishing power, they cannot be truly liberated like Brunhilde.

This is the true power of runes obtained from the great god Odin. Another person who possesses this ability is Caster Cú Chulainn, who possesses the Noble Phantasm, the Crest of the Great God.

The effect is to unleash all eighteen primordial runes simultaneously, causing an A-level attack on the city, removing all enemy buffs, forcibly reducing all their abilities by one level, and immobilizing them for a period of time.

In essence, it means completely unleashing and using all the primordial runes to unleash their full power.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can only use the fragments of the Primordial Rune as ordinary magic, and Valkyries generally only use magic to assist in combat.

After all, this is a divine magic technique that can be described as close to magic, and the price of using it completely is that even the soul will be annihilated.

But the raging flames had already set Brunhilde ablaze, and all he could do was risk his life and throw himself into it completely.
