Looking at the raging wave that would arrive in no more than ten seconds, the cat-eared girl's lips twitched. Could it be that after all their hard work in defeating the red team, they were going to die from some unknown area-of-effect attack?

This is such a loss!

"Step aside!"

Shen Qiu pushed Atalanta away from blocking his way. Although what he said might have sounded harsh, there was no point in Atalanta standing in front of him now.

"Lancer and Avenger must have unleashed their strongest Noble Phantasms to cause such a commotion. Now that the Holy Grail War is over, then—"

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and raised his right hand, on which were several scarlet Command Seals that had not yet been used. In addition to forcing Sevent to obey orders, Command Seals also had another important function.

That is to restore magic power!

"This is the only way for me now that my magic has dried up, so there's no room for hesitation."

"I thought only Kirei Kotomine was qualified to use such a luxurious method, but I never thought I'd get to use it once. Oh well, whatever!"

After silently complaining to himself, Shen Qiu immediately got into the zone. As the three red lights on his right arm disappeared one after another, a vast magical power once again filled his body.

"The three Command Seals only restored about fifty percent of my mana? But that's enough!"

As he spoke, the Ea sword in Shen Qiu's right hand, which had been dimmed, brightened up again, and as magic power was continuously poured in, the cylindrical blade began to spin again.

“enuma——”

"elish!!!!"

Before using Ea again, Shen Qiu had made preparations in advance, covering his right arm with magic to reinforce it and prevent the massive backlash from Ea from damaging him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Under the incredulous gazes of Atalanta, Okita Souji, and the other Heroic Spirits, the blazing light wave that seemed capable of destroying everything vanished into the sky in an instant under the blade of Ea, which could slice through the world.

Karna

Karna

"Karna..."

"Mother?"

With a moment of disorientation, the spearman named Karna opened his eyes again. He had fallen to the ground, his body covered in wounds after losing the protection of his golden armor, with blood still dripping from some places.

After struggling to stand up again, he looked towards a spot several dozen meters away, where a tall figure stood.

No, it can't be described as "standing still," because only after Karna could barely see clearly did he realize that the other person was also maintaining his standing posture by relying on the huge matchlock gun in his hand.

Her fiery red hair fluttered in the morning sun, making her look incredibly beautiful; she was truly a peerless beauty who could topple kingdoms.

"Ah...it seems your situation is even worse than mine, but given the current state of affairs, I have no right to mock you, foreign spearman..."

A neutral voice came from Oda Nobunaga's mouth to Karna's ears. Her eyes were closed, but her tone was full of nonchalance and ease.

"Congratulations, you won, Lancer of the purple team."

"You too, Red Team's Avenger."

Mara's Reincarnation: Three Thousand Great Heavenly Demon King is an A-rank anti-god Noble Phantasm. Its power increases to three times or even more when facing enemies with divine qualities.

Even so, Karna still managed to deliver a fatal blow to Oda Nobunaga with his Sun Wheel - Obedience to Death, despite the terrifying attack. This demonstrates just how powerful this Servant, who is at the top of the Lancer class, truly is.

"In any case, I had a lot of fun this time. Being able to fight a martial artist like you makes this trip worthwhile."

With the gentle morning breeze, the body of the Sixth Demon King gradually turned into spiritual particles and dissipated. It was a miracle that she had been able to hold on this long, having lost her master and had her spiritual core destroyed.

“I am also very pleased to have the opportunity to fight you, Avenger. You are a true martial artist.”

Karna smiled for the first time in a long time. Just as Avenger said, this Holy Grail War was not a wasted trip.

"It is my honor to be your sevent, Master. I look forward to our next meeting." (Private)

Chapter 348: Heading to the Greater Grail - Everyone's Wish

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing Shen Qiu, who seemed somewhat lost in thought from the beginning, Atalanta stepped forward with some concern and asked him what was wrong, waving her hand in concern.

"No...it's nothing, Lancer...he's gone."

Just now, Shen Qiu's contract with Karna quietly broke. The contract disappeared while Shen Qiu was still alive, which can only mean one thing—Lancer was defeated and his spirit core was shattered.

"What? They actually lost? In that case, the red team's Avenger—"

Upon hearing Shen Qiu's words, the cat-eared girl, who had initially relaxed, involuntarily tightened the bowstring again, indicating that another fierce battle was about to begin.

"No, it shouldn't be considered a loss, it should be a draw. The red team's avenger has already been eliminated. If we stop here, all of the red team's sevents should be eliminated..."

Shen Qiu buried himself in thought, but he always felt that something was not right.

"Hahahaha!!! What a magnificent battle! It's an epic tale! Such a spectacular fight, such breathtaking martial arts! To witness this is truly an honor for me, 653!!!"

Just as Shen Qiu was lost in thought, he saw the great writer Shakespeare emerge from behind a broken stone slab, holding a book in his hand and laughing loudly. His face looked almost manic.

"Red Caster! How come he's still here?!"

The moment Atalanta saw Shakespeare, an arrow instantly materialized in her palm and, empowered by the Heavenly Bow, shot towards him without mercy.

However, before the arrows even arrived, Shakespeare did something that no one present had ever imagined—

He spread his arms wide and leaped deeply toward the ground!

"That's...unbelievable..."

Even Shen Qiu was somewhat surprised by the other party's actions. Perhaps this was the work of an unparalleled literary master, whose thought process always seemed to defy expectations.

"Hey, hey, hey! Master, how long are you going to stand there daydreaming? The Sky Garden is about to collapse! If you don't come down soon, you'll fall to your death! I don't want my master to die in such a bizarre way!"

It was Astolfo riding a griffin!

"It's about time we went, Mr. Shen!"

"Commander!"

Shen Qiu was slightly surprised when he saw Okita Souji. He didn't expect that the other party could not only successfully defeat Empress Semiramis, but also escape unscathed.

"Let's go!"

Just before mounting the griffin, Shen Qiu looked once more at the [Vanity's Sky Garden], which was slowly dissipating into spiritual particles. This mission, which had lasted for nearly half a month, was finally coming to an end.

"Welcome back, Mr. Shen! You know, I was so worried when I saw that huge commotion in the sky! There were so many times I wanted to rush up and help you, but I just couldn't..."

As soon as Shen Qiu landed, he bumped into Rin Tohsaka, a girl wearing a little dress, whose eyes were already brimming with tears.

"What the hell! Seriously! I actually missed the final battle, ahhhhh, what kind of mess is this! Master, I don't care, I don't care, I didn't get to fight to my heart's content!"

Just as Shen Qiu was about to say something to comfort Lin, Mordred started throwing a tantrum in front of everyone. Shi Zi Jie Jie Li shrugged helplessly; he really couldn't do anything about it!

He only had one Command Seal left, and he couldn't afford to waste it on the road.

"It's so good to see you're alright, Mr. Shen. How was the fight?"

Lion Jie Li completely ignored Xiao Mo, who was rolling on the ground, and turned to ask Shen Qiu.

"Although there were some unexpected events, overall it went smoothly... Oh, by the way, what's that boy over there called again? Koles, come here and do me a favor!"

Just then, Shen Qiu turned his gaze to the bespectacled boy who was trying his best to conceal his presence. You see, he had a lot of things to deal with right now.

For example, the girl named Leticia carried on the griffin's back was the vessel of Ruler Jeanne d'Arc in this Holy Grail War. Before leaving, Jeanne d'Arc specifically instructed her to take good care of Leticia.

"Huh? Me?"

"It's you. Look, take good care of that blonde girl. There should still be a part of the castle usable, right?"

"All right..."

After dealing with Leticia's matter, Shen Qiu was finally able to carry out his final mission—

"The currently existing Heroic Spirits and Masters are respectively."

"Red Saber Mordred, and her master, Shishikatsu Kairi."

"The Crimson Archer Atalanta, and her master, Lothell."

"Chiron the Black Archer, and her master, Fiore."

"And then there's my Sevent, Black Rider, Astor, Rin's Assassin, and Okita Souji."

"There are a total of five Sevents and five Masters. If you remove Lothell, there are four Masters. Although we don't know how many people's wishes the Greater Grail can grant, we should still give it a try."

In the world of Fater/Apocrypha, the Greater Grail, because it was not corrupted by Angra Mainyu, can theoretically fulfill the concept of "wish." Its theoretical basis lies in the Third Magic and the almost boundless magical power.

"Lancer has been eliminated, but before that, he has fulfilled his wish as a pure martial artist. Now that the battle is over, it's time to collect his reward. After all, no matter what—"

"It wasn't for nothing that everyone fought alongside me for so many days!"

At this point, a smile appeared on Shen Qiu's lips, a smile that had not appeared for a long time. Although he did have reasons to take advantage of them at the beginning, after getting to know them for so long, he had also formed a deep friendship with them.

"To fulfill...wish..."

Upon hearing the word, Mordred stopped her tantrum, her eyes momentarily glazed over, and then she began to tremble.

Chapter 349: Artoria Pendragon

"So this is the Holy Grail that Danic treasured for sixty years?"

Shen Qiu gently stroked the huge sphere in front of him. Even though his perception had been amplified to the extreme, he still couldn't figure out what was inside, as if there was a huge black shadow between them.

"Is this the all-powerful wish-granting machine, the legendary Holy Grail that can grant any wish?"
