"What use is fame? Even the best reputation cannot save humanity."

Amakusa Shiro smiled and shook his head before taking out a calligraphy brush from the inside pocket of his clothes and dipping it in the "paint" he had prepared beforehand.

"Subspecies Holy Grail Wars are rampant all over the world nowadays. In the mystical world, the Holy Grail War is no longer a secret. However, few people know that apart from this Holy Grail War, which is a regular Holy Grail War, there have only been three true Holy Grail Wars."

Amakusa Shiro's voice was very gentle, the kind of voice that women really liked. So even though she "disliked" this man, Semiramis couldn't help but feel a little itchy inside whenever she heard his voice.

"Hmm? Interesting."

After hearing what Amakusa Shiro said, Semiramis also became interested and couldn't help but listen attentively.

"The Holy Grail War system is actually not difficult. It involves creating the Great Grail, which can contain enormous magical power, based on the Third Magic. Then, magical power is collected from the Dragon Veins. Finally, a winner is chosen through a brutal Holy Grail War, and the winner will gain the right to make a wish."

"The three families that constructed this system and ritual are Matou, Tohsaka, and Einzbern. They are also known as the three starter families and are guaranteed to have three Masters. Naturally, they participated in the first two Holy Grail Wars, and I am a participant in the third Holy Grail War."

"Participants in the Third Holy Grail War? Wasn't that over sixty years ago? How could that be..."

Even Semiramis was taken aback by the news. How could an ordinary human being be the same age as a young man in his early twenties after sixty or seventy years?

"Because I am Sevent, Sevent Ruler, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, this is my real name."

The priest turned to the side, took out a bottle of silver-gray liquid, and poured it onto the pattern on the ground. Any magician would recognize what this was—mercury, a very important material in both magic and alchemy.

"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, could it be that you are...?"

The Empress quickly searched her mind for the name. After arriving in the mortal world, they had been instilled with a great deal of knowledge by the Greater Grail. Sure enough, she soon found the origin of the name.

"A young hero from the East who resisted tyranny, he once created the miracle of defeating a government army of over 100,000 with an army of 30,000. In the end, due to insufficient supplies, he was defeated by government troops and burned alive..."

Semiramis murmured this short history, his face showing no emotion, but his heart was in turmoil!

"But if you're Sevent, you shouldn't have..."

"Because I came into contact with the Greater Grail and it gave me a physical form, I lay dormant for a full sixty years afterward, not for anything else, but solely to obtain the Greater Grail and realize my final ideal..."

After pouring out all the mercury, Amakusa Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, as the preparations were now basically complete.

"But the Great Grail was plundered by a European man named Danic, and he possesses the relics of the strongest person in this land. That's why you summoned me ahead of time, and even prepared three relics to ensure that you could summon me."

"Even at great expense, we purchased large quantities of stone, timber, loess, and other building materials from the Middle East and transported them to Romania, all for my Noble Phantasm, right?"

Semiramis coldly finished speaking, having deduced everything that followed.

"As expected of you, this process took me a full sixty years. No one can stop me from fulfilling this long-cherished wish, not a single one... not even a god!"

At this moment, an intense killing intent emanated from Amakusa Shiro, startling even Semiramis. Since she had known this man, he always had a smile on his face, and this was the first time she had seen him angry.

"Those people in the Magicians' Association certainly wouldn't agree with my wishes, but it doesn't matter. I never intended to associate with them anyway; they're just a bunch of pawns."

"However, to my utter surprise, despite all my calculations, I still overlooked something. I just couldn't see anything right about that magician named Mr. Shen. The intelligence said he came from the Far East, but my informant searched all over the Far East and couldn't find any information about him at all."

"We lost the best Saber and Lancer, and then we lost Berserker. I don't believe that something wasn't behind all of this. But does she think I'm powerless? No! Don't even think about it. I told you, no one can stop it!"

The priest drew his katana from his waist and cut his palm. Crimson blood flowed from his palm onto the ground, into the spirit summoning circle on the ground.

"I will never yield!"

Aren't you going, Lancer?

After bursting into laughter for a while, Rin Tohsaka barely managed to stop her "unrestrained" laughter, while in the meantime, Kairi Shishikai had already smoked five cigarettes.

"Yes, Master's orders are for me to protect you. You are not allowed to go into battle without his orders." Karna, dressed in a white suit, calmly gazed at the distant battlefield, his face showing no anger whatsoever.

"I see, so you're using the concealment of information as a secret weapon?"

At this moment, Shishikage Kairi understood why Shen Qiu had taken Saber instead of Lancer to the battle. Although he felt somewhat used, he didn't care much. After all, if Saber stayed here and didn't make any trouble—

That's probably an unlikely thing to even think about.

"Red Rider! You'd better think this through! Right now you only have two Septs. Although you have the best Saber, don't forget how powerful the Eleven are! We have three Septs on our side. Three against two, you're bound to lose no matter what!"

Compared to his disheveled state when he met Shen Qiu that night in Bucharest, Vlad III is now full of confidence. He has not only figured out Shen Qiu's moves, but more importantly, he has Frankenstein and Astolfo as his two Servants by his side.

Meanwhile, Danic had already sent orders to the castle. Saber Siegfried and Archer Chiron would arrive in ten minutes at most, at which point Shen Qiu and Mordred would be in a cruel and desperate situation with nowhere to turn.

If Shen Qiu and Xiao Mo are eliminated, then the Black faction can be said to have victory in this Holy Grail War!

"Well, who knows, Grand Duke? It might not be 3v2, it could be 3v3."

Shen Qiu calmly took out the Moon Silver sword from his spatial ring. The light blue katana seemed to hum excitedly because of the upcoming battle.

"3v3? What! Is there an ambush?"

Upon hearing Shen Qiu's words, Vlad III immediately became apprehensive, clearly still shaken by the near-death experience.

"Do you still have time to daydream, Your Majesty!" Shen Qiu chuckled upon seeing Vlad III's dazed eyes. He gripped the Moon Silver tightly in his hand, using the Wind's Blessing rune to its fullest extent at this moment!

"So fast!"

Before Vlad III could find the location of the Red Faction's third Servant, Shen Qiu, wielding a katana, was already rushing towards the location of the Impaler, riding the spring breeze. The overflowing magical energy seemed to remind him of the terrible defeat he had suffered at the hands of this young man!

"Unleash the magic—"

"open!!!"

After acquiring the bloodline of the Void Prophet, Shen Qiu's mana reserves and recovery speed increased significantly. Combined with the Matou family's magic crest, he could maintain the release of mana for up to half an hour, unless he used a technique like Susanoo.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the fierce boy, who was like a mad beast, Vlad III couldn't care less about anything else. He urged his puppet horse to charge towards Shen Qiu as well!

However, just as his horse's hooves began to move, a chilling voice rang out behind him—

"Oppressors...oppressors!!! All oppressors, all oppressors, cannot escape my punishment! Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!!!"

"Oh no, Rider's Noble Phantasm's time limit has expired!"

Danic was the first to react, looking in the direction where Spartacus had fallen. What he saw made him feel as if he could stop breathing.

"What...what kind of monster is this..."

Sereneka stared in disbelief at Spartacus, who had at least doubled in height and whose legs were covered in swollen lumps of flesh. Even she, who studied dark magic, had never seen such a horrifying human mutation.

"Has the first stage of mutation already begun?"

Through the advanced vision of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Shen Qiu spotted Spartacus frantically charging toward Vlad III from afar. Yes, this was his "Third Place Sevnet!"

As someone who knows the entire plot, Shen Qiu is naturally very familiar with Spartacus's unique skills and Noble Phantasms. However, for the Black Faction members, it is completely a mystery. Not killing Spartacus directly was definitely their biggest mistake on this trip!

"Lancer is fighting the enemy at the front lines, we can't let him go crazy! Rider, can you use your Noble Phantasm one more time?"

As the patriarch of the Yggdrasil clan, Danic is quite shrewd and resourceful.

"It's difficult. The opponent's legs have mutated to the point that they no longer resemble legs at all. Even if I use my Noble Phantasm again, let alone whether it will be effective, even if it is, the effect will probably be very short-lived and meaningless."

Astolfo shook his head helplessly; he truly felt powerless.

“There’s no other way, Corles. Have Frankenstein stop him. Under no circumstances can you let him interfere with Lancer’s battle. Astolfo, you assist Lancer. Sereneke, use Command Spells if necessary. Begin operations!”

With Danic's resolute gaze and rapid words, clear orders were issued precisely. He had waited far too long for this day, a full sixty years. The opportunity to realize his sixty-year-old wish was now right before his eyes.

"As long as I can take care of the Red team's Saber and Rider here, victory will be mine."

Danic thought to himself.

"Qiang!"

On the front lines of the battlefield, Shen Qiu and Vlad III were already clashing. The light blue katana and the black spear collided, producing sparks and the sound of steel clashing. The two moved so fast that they were invisible to the average person!

"Such strong physique! Fortunately, I exchanged ten points of physique before coming to the FA dimension. Combined with the huge boost from the release of magic power, my physique barely reached the B-rank standard for a Heroic Spirit. Otherwise, Vlad III would probably have taken me down with a single shot!"

Shen Qiu swiftly wielded the Moon Silver in his hand to block Vlad III's attacks. With the dynamic vision of the Eternal Kaleidoscope combined with the physical amplification from the release of magic, he even suppressed Vlad III at one point in the melee!

"This guy... he's supposed to be a Rider, so why does he have such good swordsmanship?"

Correspondingly, there was the piercing prince, who was struggling to cope with Shen Qiu's rapid and intense attacks and seemed somewhat powerless.

“Mr. Chiron, this…”

The android boy was thrilled as he looked at the map and ticket in his hand. Wasn't this what he had longed for all this time? To leave this castle that felt like a prison and live the life he wanted.

"Everyone has already gone to fight on the plains outside the city. I'm leaving soon too. Because of the battle, many guards inside the castle are not here. I've marked their locations on the map, so you can just go there without worry."

"This ticket is for an island called Greenland. It's isolated and very safe. I've also prepared some money for you. Hurry up and leave now, or it will be too late!"

"Ok!"

After hearing his words, the android did not linger any longer. After a brief thank you, it turned and walked towards the door.

"and many more!"

Just as the boy was about to walk out the door, Chiron seemed to remember something and called out to him.

"You still don't have a name, right? As a human, you must have a name. Would you mind if I gave you one?"

"Of course I don't mind!"

"Then let's call you Sieg! May you also dedicate yourself like that dragon-slaying hero, asking for nothing in return, and possess all the good qualities in this world."

Chiron smiled as he looked at the boy in front of him, and at the same time, Fiore's voice came from afar.
