Davidian's Holy Grail War

Just then, footsteps sounded behind her. Koyanskaya turned around and saw Oberon standing there.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka were here, she would definitely start yelling at him, calling him a big liar for saying that he crossed the sea with Koyanskaya's help, when in fact he could go anywhere in Britain by himself.

"Are you leaving the Fairy Kingdom? You really are heartless and ungrateful, true to your word."

Oberon's opening remarks were sarcastic, but Koyanskaya didn't get angry directly. Instead, she said that someone had asked her a few days ago to repair His Majesty Morgan's summoning circle, and finally summoned King Arthur of Pan-Human History to complete a great turnaround on the battlefield.

It's shameful that she was given such garbage information!

"Of course, how could I possibly supply bullets to the enemies of Chaldea? I merely used Albion's graveyard during the transaction."

Does that mean I'll be responsible for whatever losses you suffer in the future? That can't be the case! Stop bothering me, I'm about to throw up from disgust.

Oberon's words were incredibly harsh, and Koyanskaya could only sigh helplessly. After all, that was the last pure-blooded dragon, and even the information extracted from its remains was valuable.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Your cunning yet resolute prince. Do your best to be a good guide for Chaldea."

Koyanskaya was about to say goodbye, but Oberon countered by asking if she wanted to use a weapon to destroy the world. Although Oberon didn't want to give her any advice, the situation was so dire that he was willing to use the power of any beast.

So he has a lead on a more powerful product that suits Koyanskaya's tastes better, but he doesn't know if she'll be interested.

Upon hearing his words, Koyanskaya's expression turned serious. She had to admit that this guy always had something new to say.

Chapter 406 Arrival at Orkney

After a long drive, Ritsuka and her friends finally arrived at the northernmost point of Great Britain. Da Vinci-chan even joked that according to the geography of pan-human history, this was only Edinburgh, and further north was Scotland.

“I’ve heard it’s very cold here. It’s unimaginable to feel this cold in the South.” Caster was also a little surprised. If she hadn’t changed her clothes, she probably would have frozen to death in her previous outfit.

Ritsuka also felt cold, but he was more concerned about the white stuff falling all over the sky, which didn't look like snow.

He reached out and caught some drifting debris, then kneaded it repeatedly. It wasn't snow; it looked more like coal ash or something similar.

Seeing Ritsuka's curious expression, Habeyano explained to him that these were the tears of the Rain Clan, remnants of the Rain Clan that was destroyed in the year 4000 of the Fairy Calendar.

This is both a poem of admonition and sorrow for other clans, and a tear of apology offered to the fairies of Paradise.

"Paradise...fairies?" Ritsuka was quite curious about the term, but Habetroth only told him that she would explain in detail later. The most important thing now was to keep moving forward; Mash was just ahead.

"This snow, Habe-nyan, you said it's tears of apology offered to the fairies of Paradise... Then, why did the Rain Clan perish? Was it because of Moss, or because of the Northern Fairies?"

Castor brought up this, but Habertrot only told her that the four clans of Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing had joined forces to destroy the Rain Clan overnight.

Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this answer; they were clearly shocked or even frightened. With the alliance of four clans, a single clan would indeed appear vulnerable.

Before Morgan ruled Britain, the fairies on the island had a very bad relationship.

Even though things were bad, they were still able to form an alliance and attack together. They really couldn't imagine what kind of problem the Rain Clan had that would make the other four clans do this.

"Is the Rain Clan so powerful that it is feared by other clans?" Da Vinci asked, but Habertlot gave a completely opposite answer.

Both the Rain Clan and the Mirror Clan are very gentle clans, full of pastoral idylls. Even their choice of the cold north as their territory was because they didn't want to have conflicts with other clans in the south.

While Davidon described the Winged Clan as gentle, that was only because he excluded the two clans that had already been wiped out. Going back further, the Winged Clan also had a cruel side.

"The reason why the Rain Clan was destroyed by the alliance of the other four clans was because they sheltered the fairy from the paradise. They felt sorry for the fairy who drifted from the paradise, so they raised her as their princess."

But this angered the other clan chiefs, who said, "Don't even think about a pilgrimage! You damned traitor! Wipe her out along with the entire clan!"

Through the information Habe-nyan gave them, Ritsuka pieced together some more details about the Fairy Era. He then furtively glanced at Caster; she must be one too…

Just as Ritsuka was pondering these thoughts, a white wolf came running towards them in his field of vision. Habertlot said this was the person who had come to pick them up, and everyone was curious about what kind of creature this wolf was; it looked so majestic!

“It even looks somewhat sacred… no, wait, this guy has divinity.” Muramasa realized this immediately; there were divine followers around, after all, there were no gods in Britain.

After staring at Ritsuka for several seconds, the wolf turned around and began to lead the way for everyone, and Ritsuka followed without hesitation.

He had seen this white wolf before when Bogzad died, and sure enough, this white wolf would guide his and Mash's destiny.

“There’s a little boat over there that we used a long time ago. Let’s take that boat to Orkney. Don’t worry, it won’t take more than 30 minutes to get to the other side, and then our adventure will be over.”

No sooner had Habeyiao finished speaking than someone else chimed in, "Well then, that's enough. I'll annihilate you all here."

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, and there stood Bagst, leading her pursuing force. She had clearly been waiting there for a long time; today was the day she would carry out her mission.

"It seems we can't just run away like this. We have to fight this guy, or we'll be doomed if we get attacked while crossing the sea."

Muramasa drew his long sword, ready for battle; this fight was unavoidable. Bagstka's timing was perfect; running away directly would lead to disaster.

Ritsuka gave Habertrot a wink; they still needed to find a way to retreat. Although they could handle Bagst alone together, she had brought quite a few people this time, and there was no need to continue fighting her here.

Habertrot immediately understood his meaning, so she secretly prepared to run away with the white wolf. She was the only one here with the ability to levitate; she had her own plans.

"Cast, watch out for the bait being released. Now let's face Bagst. The rest of you deal with the Fairy Knights, be careful!"

After assigning the tasks, Ritsuka immediately joined forces with Caster to confront Bagster, who in turn led his troops to meet them in battle.

But as soon as they clashed, Caster immediately realized that Bagst hadn't used her full strength. Or rather, she had made a big show of it, but the effect was minimal.

[This guy's holding back!] Realizing this, Caster and Ritsuka started acting along with her. Their teamwork was so perfect that even the fairy knights nearby thought the three of them were really fighting to the death.

Finally, after Caster unleashed a landmine-like explosion, he led the others on a run. Muramasa, without hesitation, scooped up Ritsuka and Da Vinci and rushed towards the beach. They didn't have time to waste with Bagst anymore; running was the only option.

When they reached the beach, the two jumped at the same time. While in the air, Caster used magic to create a wall of light. Stepping on this wall of light, the two jumped again and landed on the small boat, escaping Caster's pursuit.

"Grandpa, let's row together and get out of here!"

Ritsuka grabbed the oars and rowed with all her might alongside Muramasa, with Caster even giving them a slight magical boost. The small boat soared into the sky as fast as Ritsuka's heart, giving Caster no chance to give chase.

Bagst gave a helpless smile to her men before turning around. She told the others to return to the battlefield in Lentinium to report to Lord Davidian, while she would stay behind and wait for their return.

No one was worried about her safety, since Bagst's strength was obvious to all, so they obeyed her orders.

Only after his men had all gone far away did Bagst realize that this was the perfect time. It was time to have a serious talk with those guys about the future. For the sake of the fairies' future, even the Deviant had to... give up.

Chapter 407 Grimm

After reaching the shore, the white wolf continued to guide them. The group continued forward, and soon they discovered a campfire.

There was even a person sitting next to the campfire wearing a blue robe and a hood.

The white wolf obediently ran to his side and affectionately rubbed against his thigh, and the man happily teased the white wolf.

"Hey~ you're back, Flake. Here, this is a fish that Wuni caught, want some?"

He picked up the grilled fish and let the white wolf named Flaki enjoy it to his heart's content. Everyone could see that this person was definitely a Servant.

"Brother Cú Chulainn? Long time no see!"

Ritsuka shouted with joy, and the person who heard her voice stood up and took off his hood. Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's energetic appearance, he smiled happily as well.

He strode over, reached out and ruffled Ritsuka's hair, turning it into a mess, before putting his arm around Ritsuka's shoulder and laughingly complaining that he was too late; he almost thought Ritsuka wasn't coming.

Habertrot, standing nearby, stared in disbelief. Wasn't this just a grown-up version of Grimm? So this is what he looks like when he grows up.

"Ah~ Also, just this once, please don't call me by the name Cú Chulainn, it will cause my Spirit Origin output to plummet. Here, I will always act under the name Grimm, so please cooperate."

Cú Chulainn even corrected this point, and everyone could tell from his serious expression that he wasn't joking.

So they said they would call him Grim from now on, but Da Vinci was thinking to himself, isn't that another name for Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology? Why is Cú Chulainn using that name here?

Seeing the somewhat surprised looks on everyone's faces, Grimm asked Habertrot, "What, didn't you tell them about me, Habertrot? How heartless of us, after all the adventures we went on together."

"Ah...no, I just never expected Grimm to become an old man. I'm sorry, I'm so surprised." That was all Habertlot could say; it was an unexpected turn of events she hadn't anticipated at all.

"What uncle! You should be called an older brother! I don't know what the previous me looked like, but this is what the second generation looks like! I'm really sorry!"

"No way, the passage of time is too cruel... If Ash saw this, she'd probably be so shocked she'd faint..."

The two's playful banter made everyone laugh, but Ritsuka managed to bring things back on track after a burst of cheerful laughter.

After all, he needed to find out exactly what happened, and he wouldn't be careless about anything concerning Mashu.

Grimm also told them that he would explain everything, but that would have to wait until he confirmed whether this prophesied child was the real one.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the runes transformed into flames, making the campfire even larger. Ritsuka couldn't help but secretly grumble to herself, "This is the old trick. Without a fight to test each other's limits, neither side can sit down and properly discuss the future."

"I understand. I originally thought he was someone Ritsuka knew! In that case, let's treat him as an acquaintance!"

Caster then surprisingly told a corny joke, which made Ritsuka burst out laughing. But before he could say anything, Caster had already swung his staff at him.

[Huh? What kind of reckless attack is this? I haven't even said anything yet, and they've already charged in!]

Ritsuka had no choice but to provide support, since the war had already begun and she had no other option but to go.

Just go with the flow! Go with the flow!

The ensuing battle ended with Castor smashing Grimm's staff into his chest, sending him flying several meters back. The blow was quite painful for Grimm; he felt as if his soul was about to fly away.

So after Grimm stabilized his state, he pretended to be dissatisfied and said something like, "So beating up a Heroic Spirit you've just met is the way of the Prophet's Child?"

He now completely understood that he wouldn't discuss anything important with such a rude child. Please leave!

"But...but...but...but didn't you tell us to bring it on? Isn't that right, Fujimaru Ritsuka? No, actually, it was Ritsuka who told us to make the move!"

Caster panicked. When Grimm said he needed to verify their authenticity, she subconsciously assumed it was a friendly sparring match where everyone would shake hands, make peace, and discuss things properly.

How did this happen? Are they messing with her?

"I never said you could go up there. I hadn't even said anything yet, and you charged up with the Staff of Choice." Ritsuka suppressed a laugh and chose to expose her, which really made Caster blush.

She could only mutter resentfully, "This is just like Oberon's—crossing the river and then burning the bridge. It seems Ritsuka has been corrupted by spending too much time with Oberon. Next time, I'll definitely smash Oberon's head in!"

"Ah, that awful personality, it's definitely him. Even though he's an adult, this guy is still Grimm. Hey, Grimm! Explain when you returned to Britain?"
