Davidian's Holy Grail War

"Arrows! Fire!" Tristan shouted as he fired the arrows, though his own fingers were also moving non-stop.

Arrows from the vacuum kept being released, slaying the monsters that attacked from all around. Damn it... these things are even harder to kill than Ugal.

David swung his sword, unleashing countless shockwaves that annihilated the monster before him, but the next moment, even more similar monsters charged forward.

The soldiers of the First Army Corps found the enemy's sheer numbers quite formidable; the enemy was too numerous and charged with reckless abandon.

"The legion commander just loves to run into tough guys, but it's fine, I like it too!"

The company commander of the Fifth Heavy Assault Team in Dalian, Nevin Moore, swung his long-handled double-edged battle axe with all his might and cut the enemy in front of him in two with a single blow.

These company commanders, whose martial arts skills were more outstanding, could directly go into battle and fight to their hearts' content, and this battle was enough to make them feel excited.

The fourth assault team's company commander, Taviz, was beside him, sweeping away the enemy with a shield half his height and a greatsword two-thirds his length. He didn't say anything, just did his job well.

He was first-rate in both defense and offense, and was known as the Immovable Fortress in the First Legion.

Nevin Moore clicked his tongue, remarking on how taciturn his old friend truly was. But then again, there was no need for words now; all that mattered was fighting and killing.

Percival raced through the streets, piercing the monsters that had invaded Uruk with his holy lance. His lance, having drunk the blood of these hideous creatures, grew even sharper.

The Saint's Spear is meant to protect others; no matter how many of these monsters that only know how to kill and destroy come, they will all be pierced by his spear.

Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl, who arrived later, further relieved the pressure on the First Legion. After that, the arrival of Mash and Ritsuka directly helped the First Legion launch a counterattack.

They wiped out all the monsters in the city and pushed the battlefield to the south gate. During this time, they killed countless monsters, and they even felt that they would keep killing forever!

Just as they were thinking this, the monsters in front of them actually retreated.

As if they'd grown tired of playing, when the first monster retreated, the others followed suit. Thanks to Davian and his companions' tireless efforts, Uruk was at least saved for now.

After dispelling the First Legion's Noble Phantasm, Davidian even allowed Gareth to briefly return and rest.

He then led everyone to meet Gilgamesh, and Mash and Ritsuka showed sorrowful expressions as they looked at the corpses along the way.

Some people were unable to evacuate in time, and although David rushed back desperately, he couldn't save everyone...

When they arrived at the tower, Uruk's officials were gathered in the main hall, while the common people took refuge in the basement.

King Gilgamesh sat on his throne, his expression grim and somber; the most critical moment had finally arrived.

Finally, when Gilgamesh saw David and his men return, he stood up, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent, awaiting the king's command.

The moment that will determine the future of Uruk has arrived.

"Destruction is finally coming! There are probably only two days left! But you don't need to collapse along with Uruk!"

Let the surviving citizens take refuge on the other side of the north wall! Reuse Nippur as a current residential area!

Furthermore, there's no need to recruit soldiers from the refugees anymore. Only those born to be warriors will remain in Uruk!

He issued the order, a very simple one. Even an idiot could probably understand it; the citizens of Uruk remained silent.

The day that Wang spoke of six months ago has finally arrived.

"If you want to survive, go to the North Wall; if you want to fight, stay and become a cornerstone of Uruk. Do you understand? The deadline is dusk. Go and say goodbye to your family and friends!"

With the king's final order, officials and commoners alike silently left the sacred tower to say their last words to their surviving friends and family.

Once everyone had left, Gilgamesh returned to his throne.

At this moment, he finally had time to chat with Ritsuka and the others. Gilgamesh first teased Ritsuka about her gloomy expression, and then praised their achievements in defeating the Gorgon.

He even had the leisure to ask Ritsuka and Mashu if they wanted to rest for a while, since at this point no one would criticize them.

"Your Majesty, after all, they have seen such a being. Even those who have been through countless battles will not feel any pleasure."

Siduri, who was standing nearby, stopped Gilgamesh from rambling on. Who knew if Ritsuka's mood would hold up if he kept going on and on?

"No, I don't need to rest yet. Continue, King Gilgamesh."

Ritsuka remained as tenacious as before, reporting on the previous battle with the Gorgon and Merlin's last words. Gilgamesh stroked his chin and listened to all the information.

"He was invincible in reality, but was defeated in his dreams... I see, that's really his style."

Gilgamesh made a light comment, but Merlin had indeed worked hard to get to where he was now.

Chapter 272 Parting

"And, King Gilgamesh, what exactly is evil in humanity?"

Mashu asked a question that elicited a strange expression from King Gilgamesh, who then looked at Davian.

Davidian gestured for him to explain to these people, since there was plenty of time now.

Gilgamesh then began to explain the meaning of human evil, which, as the literal meaning suggests, is the stain on humanity, referring to all kinds of disasters that destroy humankind.

The more humanity develops, the stronger they become, like cancer eroding the body from within. In other words, they are the silt that settles within human history.

Everyone was curious: was that something like the Gorgon? A calamity intended to destroy humanity?

But Gilgamesh just smiled and shook his head, saying that human evil is not the evil that destroys humanity, but the evil that is destroyed by humanity.

However, this issue will not be discussed further at the moment. For now, it is sufficient to remember that they are disasters that threaten human history, namely, the self-destruction mechanisms and safety devices of the origin of the Heroic Spirits.

The seven evils of humanity also exist and manifest as Spirit Origins. These are the seven calamities born from humanity's bestial nature, also known as the Beast class. This is probably what the Sorcerer King awakened.

"Wait, wait, wait! When you talk about the Sea of ​​Origin, you're referring to Mother, right? Could this anomaly not be caused by Tiamat, the mother of all gods?"

Ishtar panicked. Wasn't the mission to deal with Tiamat? How did it turn into dealing with a calamity beast?

Gilgamesh and Davian wore expressions of helplessness, unsure how to describe it. Finally, Gilgamesh took a deep breath and cursed:

"Fool! The beast I'm talking about is Tiamat! Our opponent this time is a genuine primordial world god!"

"However, the other party is not fully awake yet; I can sense that. Roman, what's the situation with Chaldea's analysis? Tell me about your findings."

David could clearly sense that his alarm system hadn't completely shattered, and that such an exaggerated existence hadn't yet appeared on this land.

[The information we have so far is limited, so I'll just give a brief overview. That thing is made of divine mud, and it's an entity that doesn't exist in the Tree of Life system to date.]

Based on their internal structure, it's speculated that their current form is still juvenile, and they can evolve further! Due to the nature of their magic circuits, they can be considered mass-produced machines of Enkidu, and each individual will be named—Rahmu.

"Tiamat's first child? The name is quite fitting, Roman. It seems we'll get along very well!"

Gilgamesh laughed loudly after saying this, and ordered Siduri to pass on this information. From then on, these strange individuals would be named Rahmu.

King Gilgamesh then told everyone in Chaldea to go and rest, and David smiled and agreed with him.

Putting Mashu aside, Ritsuka can truly be said to have burned out completely.

The right thing to do is to rest and prepare for the next battle. Since everyone is resting now, King Gilgamesh and Devian will continue to think about their next strategy.

After Ritsuka left, Gilgamesh looked at David and said earnestly:

"Lord David, you have protected my people, including Siduri. I thank you, and the debt you owe me is now settled. You may choose whether to stay or leave in the battle to come."

David shrugged with a smile, indicating that since they had already come this far, they might as well continue. It was a rare battle to defeat the calamity beast, and it would be a disservice to a hero not to participate.

He was very happy about this battle, being able to put aside all his worries and fight wholeheartedly as a hero.

"Is that so? It seems that Merlin wasn't entirely a failure. At least he raised you, a boy from the future, into a world-renowned hero and a noble paladin."

That alone is enough to prove that Merlin's hero status is the highest level.

After hearing Gilgamesh's words, Davian sighed helplessly:

"You bunch of guys, if you can see the future, then shut up! Not everyone knows about my past. If you tell Ritsuka and the others about these things, I might just fight you to the death."

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me!"

You naturally know what to say and what not to say, but up to this point, you've really tried your best.

You are brave people, coming from the future, striving to live your lives to the fullest.

Speechless, Davidian tossed his cloak aside and walked out. Who knew what the battle would entail? Although he roughly knew who possessed the Holy Grail, defeating that guy wouldn't be easy.

You seem quite calm; is it because your opponent this time wasn't strong enough?

Morgan's teasing words reached his ears, and David Ann replied helplessly, "No."

He was calm now because Gilgamesh had just brought up his past, which left David somewhat at a loss for how to respond.

Actually, I've thought about it a lot: what would happen if I brought you back before Merlin did?

I saw it first, but I was a step too late. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I lost to Merlin's impulsive decision.

Morgan suddenly brought up these things too, how her initial composure was completely undone by the hatred and love that followed. Sometimes it really is true, a little bit more can mean the difference between everything.

"I've said it before, my loyalty after death is entrusted to you. So just call on me when you need me, and if it's for you... I can draw my sword even if it's against Artoria."

"I will fight for you no matter what, my lady."

David's seemingly emotionless words touched Morgan's heart, who was nowhere to be found, and she secretly shed tears in a place unknown to David.

They had both love and being loved in their lives, but their love was shattered by the fate of the British island.

Morgan's voice was no longer heard, and David Ann, unusually, fell into sorrow in this land that was both familiar and strange to him.

He walked slowly past each of the stalls he had visited before. The people of Uruk were packing up their things; some stayed while others prepared to leave.

They saw that David still greeted him with a smile, and David responded to their enthusiasm with a smile as well.

This is the last one, everyone knows that.

Davidian encouraged those who left, telling them to walk towards tomorrow with a smile.
