Davidian's Holy Grail War

Da Vinci's confident words drew a sarcastic remark from Muramasa, who thought they were incredibly audacious. The current situation on Earth is completely different from what Da Vinci was saying, but it's precisely this inexplicable confidence that makes Da Vinci seem approachable and reliable!

"Thanks! Even though we're enemies, I find this side of you quite endearing~"

"But the fact that you're enemies has never changed... So why are you getting along so well?" Caster couldn't help but complain from the side, finding this kind of thing really strange. Teaming up with enemies and chatting happily, even to the point where they could entrust their lives to each other.

"Yes, boys have had this side to them for thousands of years!"

However, at that moment a voice rang out from the side, and when everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they only saw... a ghost!

Moreover, it was a girl's ghost, or rather, a female demon. Just as everyone was about to make a move, Da Vinci stopped them and said with dissatisfaction, "Alright, alright~ You've been following us since yesterday, and now you've finally shown yourself and said something. What do you want to say?"

"Oh dear, hello everyone! Let's not dwell on what happened before. Let's start with introductions. I'm Mira, the Fairy Lord of Death. I sensed a very comfortable aura emanating from you all, so I've been observing you for a while!"

Mira playfully introduced herself to the group, while Castor couldn't help but marvel at the unexpected existence of a fairy lord who showed neither hostility nor malice.

"Yes, I don't feel any attachment or resentment. It's just that the concentration is too high and I can't get rid of it. I'm a bit troubled by it myself, because it just won't disappear no matter how many years pass."

Mira described herself as the now-dead fairy with a smile, just as easily and cheerfully as when she chatted with Davidian years ago. Everyone could see that she was indeed as she said, so they lowered their initial slight wariness.

Muramasa even suggested putting some offerings at Mira's grave, but Mira only mentioned putting food on the grave? There's nothing on the grave though, it's unbelievable!

"But thank you anyway, you're a wonderful bunch of fairies~"

Habertlot, knowing Mira's boundless energy and kindness, remarked that she couldn't have died from losing her purpose. This led everyone to wonder how she had died—had she died in some accident?

"It wasn't an accident, it was a case. Six years ago, we were wiped out. Just as the Mirror Clan chief predicted, we were destroyed by fire and wind~ Einzel died around that time too, and there shouldn't be a single fairy left in the Mirror Clan. That should be... that's right... but it's so strange? Oh well, that's possible!"

Some of what she said was incomprehensible to the others, but Ritsuka bluntly asked if the wind referred to Aurora, the clan leader of the Wind Clan.

"Huh? Such a quick reaction? Are humans all this amazing now?" Mira couldn't help but exclaim, completely surprised that the human in front of her was so quick-witted.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ritsuka. How could he connect a single word like "wind" directly to Aurora, the patriarch of the Wind Clan? What kind of intuition is this? The key point is that he guessed it correctly, which is absolutely unbelievable.

"Ah~ Seeing you like this reminds me of Lord David. Young man~ you have the very bearing of Lord David!"

"Huh? Ah?" Ritsuka was dumbfounded by what he said. Was this a compliment? Probably. Did it have the air of a Lord?

But just as he was about to say something, Mira changed the subject. She said she had something to ask them; they were guarding an important place, but a strange guy had come a few days ago.

"That guy has even moved in here. If possible, could you please help us get rid of him?"

This request wasn't unreasonable, Ritsuka thought. Besides, he probably already guessed who that strange guy was, and Muramasa placed his hand on his shoulder at that moment.

The two exchanged a glance, both guessing what the other was thinking, after all, they had both run into Koyanskaya's familiars here...

Chapter 402 Wind and Flame

Led by Mira, the group headed towards the designated location. Along the way, Castor kept asking about Koyanskaya's situation. She was the Servant who was with Myriel, wasn't she? Oberon had considered her a dangerous element back then; was she someone Chaldea couldn't afford to ignore?

"Because she is a Beast, I feel that I will have to fight her sooner or later. After all, she is an existence that cannot be compatible with humans. The last time I fought her, it didn't come to any conclusion. She is just a very troublesome opponent."

Ritsuka gave a casual explanation, and now Castor understood. To Ritsuka and the others, that guy was clearly "evil," and defeating her was the right thing to do.

“If Koyanskaya is just acting as a bodyguard for Myurion, then it’s just a matter between the two of them, and we can’t say much. But if she’s still carrying on her own schemes in Britain, Chaldea can’t stand idly by.”

Da Vinci-chan shared the same opinion. After all, once she becomes stronger, she will definitely come to target Chaldea, so it's the right thing to do now to hinder her.

"I see, I understand now that Koyanskaya is a dangerous opponent. So, her target... Mira, are we heading to the Dragonbone Swamp now?"

Castor asked Mira, and Mira gave an affirmative answer. That fox spirit, holding an umbrella, floated lightly into the dark swamp that should have been unknown to anyone! She even chased away all the nearby Morse, and was doing something bad to the dragon skeleton.

"Dragon remains? Albion? That bastard, she really wants to get her hands on everything rare and unusual! Something that has existed for so long must be a cultural heritage! How could it be something that tourists go up there and mess around with?"

His comment, though strange, somehow made sense, and Ritsuka urged everyone to quicken their pace. However, as they continued forward, they encountered a huge problem—Moss, who had been chased away by Koyanskaya, was blocking their path, making it impossible for them to move forward!

Mira was so scared she wanted to run away; they couldn't handle so many Morse! However, Ritsuka and the others certainly wouldn't back down so easily; they would just go for it. Although it was a tough fight, they had no reason to give up now!

"This is probably a trap set by Koyanskaya! It seems she really doesn't want us to go any further!"

Faced with Da Vinci's explanation, Caster couldn't help but retort, "So that means that Koyanskaya has already taken Moss under her wing? She's too dangerous! To be honest, Ritsuka, who has always been at odds with that kind of guy, is incredibly patient for not fighting him in Gloucester!"

“Wasn’t it because of Miu Rui’en that I was holding her back? Otherwise, I would have fought her to the death long ago. That girl… is just too troublesome.”

However, just as they were in dire straits, unexpected help arrived. A blue flash fell from the sky, kicking up a huge cloud of dust, and then everyone saw who it was—the fairy knight Lancelot!

"Has the pursuit team arrived already? As expected of her, she's really fast." Ritsuka couldn't help but ask, but Lancelot shook his head, indicating that he was wrong.

"I have no interest in your lives now, nor will I necessarily obey the lord's words. What I need to do now is to wipe out Moss. You are in my way, get out of the way! Son of Prophecy and her followers!"

After speaking, Melyuchina began her assault on the Morse Group, much to Mira's surprise. Having become a fairy lord, she felt nothing; so the little girl holding the staff was the Child of Prophecy?

Now, upon closer inspection, I realize that's exactly how it feels! We're finally back, back at the entrance to the park! Great! With that, all their goals have finally been achieved.

[Hello, the final bell of Britain. The second Avalon le Fay, bearing a noble mission!]

As she sighed, Melyuchina had already swiftly swept away all the Morse. Her speed alone was so fast that those around her could only see blue flashes; her attacks were simply beyond the capabilities of their current forces to withstand.

"It seems you haven't suffered any casualties on your side, but that's none of my concern. Bagst is still leading a search party for you, and I think the time for our encounter is approaching. You'll probably run into them in Orkney."

Melyuchina casually gave her calculated time, and Ritsuka asked her why she came here. Mira had just said that this was a little-known place, and since Melyuchina was here, she must have some connection to this place.

"This place is special to me, and I just don't want it to be ruined by Morse."

Her reason was simple, so Ritsuka pressed her, asking if she wouldn't fight her here? This time, Meiliu Qina looked helpless.

"There will be fighting, but not here. I've already said this is a special place, and I don't want to fight pointless battles here. Besides, the war has already begun, and you will have to return to the front lines sooner or later. When that happens, I will swiftly stab you to death and make you feel the excruciating pain of your souls soaring into the sky."

Her words were quite cruel, and Castor couldn't help but retort, "So cruel and heartless. And you're called the most beautiful fairy in this fairy kingdom."

"The most, beautiful?" Melyuchina pondered the description repeatedly before saying, "That's a pleasant thought, but unfortunately, it's wrong. I am not the most beautiful fairy in Britain. If you mean physical beauty, I can accept that. But true beauty and fighting ability are two different things!"

She paused here, then began muttering things that no one else could understand. For example, she said their relationship didn't seem to have reached the point where they could chat so casually, and that she still couldn't grasp the proper sense of distance, among other strange things.

However, her explanation gave Ritsuka an opportunity. He quickly asked, "Since this is an important place for you, could you help out? Koyanskaya wants to take Albion's remains, so please help us to prevent things from getting completely worse."

Ritsuka's words immediately widened Meiliu Qina's eyes, and she rushed towards the Dragon's Bone Swamp at her fastest speed. She never dreamed that anyone would dare to lay a finger on her grave. Did they have the guts of a bear or a leopard? That despicable beast!

“Mira, so the Flame who wiped out your Mirror Clan is…” Ritsuka stopped there, confident that his words were clear enough for Mira.

"Oh dear~ If Ritsuka-kun is this smart, no girl will want to play guessing games with you anymore. It's frustrating to say things so bluntly. Just keep it to yourself. After all, we don't have any grudges against each other about this."

Mira laughed and told Ritsuka to keep her suspicions to herself, then urged everyone to hurry towards the Dragon's Bone Swamp. They needed to help out in the upcoming battle; they couldn't let the fairy knight Lancelot fight Goyanskaya alone.

Chapter 403 The Remains of Albion

Upon arriving at the Dragon's Bone Swamp, Ritsuka and the others were shocked. Such enormous creature skeletons...

"This messy NFF logo-printed cordon... it must have been Koyanskaya's doing, I'm 100% sure!"

Ritsuka's attitude was relatively calm, but Meiliu Qina had already started cursing. What kind of thing is this shameless bastard? How dare she filthily trespass on their lake!

Enraged, she slaughtered all the nearby Morse, and only after these henchmen were dead did a pleasant yet harsh female voice emerge from the skeletons:

"Oh dear~ how could it be dirty? It's because I really love this dress that Lady Murray gave me... Excuse my bluntness, as you can see, I'm busy retrieving this thing from the sky."

At this point, she gave a disdainful smile and explained that Moss, who had just been taken in as a member of the family, had neither the ability to move nor the ability to destroy the skeleton.

"I was still racking my brains, worried that I might have run into some bad debts? But it was definitely the right choice to give this worthless junk a taste of hardship! After all, the Fairy Knight Lancelot, the main course I've been looking forward to, has been delivered to my door so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Meliuchina was furious. No wonder the dragon's skeleton was calling to her; so that's how it was! Had this beast larva really become so shameless and despicable?

"You beastly larva, watch me make a hole in your heart today!" Meiliu Qi Na unleashed her full magic, but her words aroused the curiosity of Ritsuka beside her.

"Lancelot actually knows about beasts?"

His words piqued the curiosity of both sides. Koyanskaya had never imagined encountering Chaldea here. This was so strange; what were these guys doing here?

Melyuchina was surprised that these people from Chaldea already knew what a beast was. Was the history of Pan-Humanity really that difficult? What on earth had they encountered?

Is that skeleton Albion's remains? We absolutely cannot hand that over to Koyanskaya.

"Everyone, prepare to move. This is no joke. Although it's a juvenile beast, it's still a real beast. Watch out for its sharp teeth and claws, cut off its tail, and then kick it out of this Lostbelt as fast as you can."

Hearing Ritsuka's words, even Koyanskaya, who was usually quite composed, couldn't help but show a look of surprise. But she quickly accepted the fact; after all, it wasn't like she hadn't fought before.

"Well, actually, what I'm doing this time is legitimate charity work, charity work that benefits all of humanity. However, it's just wishful thinking to expect those of you who haven't seen through the root of the evil to have this kind of rationality."

If the chance to obtain superior weapons is ruined, then all my efforts will have been in vain. Perhaps I should just pack up everyone's lives and all our past karmic ties and throw them away here.

With that, she clapped her hands. A tremendous tremor began, and Castor immediately alerted everyone that something extraordinary had surfaced from the swamp! What emerged surprised them even more—it was a dragon!

"A dragon? Could it be Albi..."

Castor was interrupted by Melyuchina before he could finish speaking. "That's not a dragon, it's just Morse."

"Look closely! Contrary to your performance, your thinking ability is terrible! You can't compete with Morgan like that!"

This made Caster extremely embarrassed, as the fairy knight actually criticized him for his poor thinking ability...

However, Ritsuka wasn't thinking about any of that. He was more concerned about what Koyanskaya had just said about the "root of trouble," a term that likely referred to...

"No, it's normal for Caster to misunderstand. This magical power is extraordinary! It surpasses even the calamity that occurred in Norwich!"

Muramasa, holding his knife, looked at the thing in front of him and felt deeply troubled. How come Koyanskaya always managed to pull off such a terrible mess?

Da Vinci couldn't help but wail. This was exactly what she had been worried about—the composition of the swamp water was all similar to morsel! It was filled with hostility towards fairies, and now they had no way to retreat.

"That's right, this lake is the most filthy garbage dump in Britain, formed from the rotting flesh of Albion. Not only that, it is also a pot of poison where the eternal resentment of the northern fairies, who were wiped out in the Spring War of the Fairy Calendar, continues to surge!"

Albion himself had disintegrated, leaving only bones—a worthless remnant. But by collecting the magical essence dissolved in the lake, recreating this former existence wouldn't be difficult.

Melyuchina was even more furious upon hearing her words. She couldn't help but question Goyanskaya if she intended to take away the rotting dragon and Albion, who had exhausted his strength alone in the Sea of ​​Nothingness, as his corpse.

"How could that be? Zombies have no value as commodities. This is a temporary promotional activity. After I wipe out everyone in Chaldea, I'll turn it back into flesh and blood."
