Davidian's Holy Grail War

Whether it's a cover-up lie or a real lie, as long as you're alive, you can't avoid it!

Moreover, no matter who it is, the voices beneath the lies are actually hoping for redemption!

Seriously, stop with the act. The road to Avalon is fraught with difficulties and obstacles, giving me the feeling of—what on earth is going on?!

However, I am glad to be able to look back on my life, and it seems that my life was not entirely useless.

I've always wondered how someone like me could possibly save the world.

Someone like me has no right to end their world.

Because, think about it, the so-called fate of the world shouldn't be borne unwillingly, right?

At this moment, Ritsuka couldn't say anything else. He could only say one thing: "But you still have to do it, right?"

"Yes, I'll do it."

I will complete my mission here. The scary thing is, even I don't know why!

That's probably just a self-righteous excuse, a pointless excuse that others would find utterly useless.

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka showed in that moment of despair, just as Mash stood up against the calamity in Norwich.

It wasn't for anyone else, nor for myself, and certainly not for justice.

I keep forging ahead through the storm, mostly for... something I absolutely cannot let down!

Chapter 456 The Responsibility of an Adult

Having said that, she stepped into the Furnace of the Universe. The moment Castor stepped inside, she could feel herself melting away from her fingertips, as if her entire being was being read and transformed into another form.

Memories, self, the way of existence—all of these will be transformed into the existence of the Holy Sword. But there's nothing we can do about it. If we could, the Sea of ​​Stars would have chosen a more suitable and gentler way. But since no one has a choice, things have turned out this way.

Forging a holy sword requires the existence of humans in this era as materials. As a fairy of the paradise, she is merely an aggregator, an aggregator that exists to manifest a more powerful and higher quality holy sword.

Beautiful memories flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but smile. With these things, everything would be alright; this way, it would definitely become a fine sword!

Like a star in a storm, it is a brilliant star on the earth that will not lose to any evil.

Not here, not there; not you, my beloved. To become a sword worthy of you, who bore many wishes, received many smiles as a reward, and raised your head in the chosen place.

Although the fairy of the paradise (Castle) has no memories of spring, it is wonderful that she has wonderful memories of her journey.

Her physical form had ceased to exist; by forging the Holy Sword, the fairy of Paradise would end her mission. Caster's journey was nearing its end; perhaps this was for the best. Besides, she hadn't strived this far out of a desire not to die.

However, she still wanted to know what the light she had been gazing at, the light that had been watching her, was, and she had been striving until now with the thought that she could not give up before she found out.

I thought I would find out the answer during the pilgrimage, but I still don't know at the last minute.

So should we just let it end like this?

Of course not.

"Is that so? Then it seems you can't just end it here."

Muramasa's voice reached her ears; he appeared with a teasing smile. For a moment, Caster was stunned. How did this guy get in? No, when did he get in?

"Forging swords wouldn't be possible without me! Severing fate and karma, my life has been dedicated to swords! Don't underestimate Senji Muramasa! That kid outside is about to burst into tears, I need to get this done quickly. Make way! Now that you've prepared the materials, the rest is up to the blacksmith!"

Having said that, he pushed aside the still-dazed Castor and approached the center of the Cosmic Furnace. As he approached, he remarked on how incredibly intense the activity was; just getting close was enough to set it ablaze!

"My swordsmith's passion is completely boiling right now! This is a satisfying job before the retreat, thank you! Caster! Although being your bodyguard would have been a good job, I guess I can't change my nature after all~"

Having said that, he began using his spirit origin as a hammer and pliers to perform the final forging and finishing of the holy sword. Just as Caster uttered the words that he would be burned at the stake, Muramasa declared that it was exactly what he wished for!

"Forging is the blacksmith's true calling! Since it is a divine artifact, isn't burning one's life force only natural? Burn this spiritual essence completely and bring it to a boil, and let the holy sword take shape!"

His body was burned away bit by bit, but he didn't care about that at all now; on the contrary, he thought it was great.

[Everyone says it's not going to work! Wait, is my body floating?]

"Well, since I've taken over your job, the extra one will definitely be kicked out. Farewell, Child of Prophecy. Actually, you don't need to give up everything. After all, you still have unfinished business, and that kid is protected by fate. Just go with him without worry!"

In contrast, I'll use this life to conclude my work. Since you've already filmed it, it's only right to use it all without wasting a single bit.

[You already paid that back. Muramasa is from the outside world, an enemy of Ritsuka and the others. He has absolutely no connection to Britain. Isn't this your real job?]

"Well, it doesn't matter~ Anyway, I didn't kill Morgan, so I'm too ashamed to face the alien god. Okay, okay, stop with the comforting words, I'm doing this willingly, just like you."

This was destined from the very beginning! But, having said that... I still regret not being able to make you a hair accessory. It's all David's fault for being so nosy, giving you Morgan's clothes to wear, playing that fatalistic game!

Outside the Cosmic Furnace, Ritsuka and the others watched as the pillar of light vanished, and the Spirit Origin reaction also disappeared. Ritsuka clenched his fists, his sorrow beyond description.

Mashu couldn't help but say, "Miss Caster, even though it's for the Holy Sword, this forging method is just too..."

"That's right, I also think there's something wrong with the forging method. Should I say it's inefficient, or is it because there's no human compassion? But the Inner Sea of ​​the Stars is the place where the souls of planets are placed, so there's never much human compassion there to begin with."

"what?"

Ritsuka instinctively opened her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing. Caster, seeing their stunned expressions, smiled and said he was back, sorry to have kept them waiting, and that he had also brought back the prototype of the Holy Sword! Now they could put it away.

"With Da Vinci-chan and everyone in Chaldea, you should be able to compile a decisive spell based on this. If only I could just give you the Sword of Excalibur, but things are not that simple after all."

Mashu subconsciously followed her instructions and stored the basic shape of the holy sword into the space inside the shield, but she still couldn't believe how Caster managed to come back alive.

Ritsuka had regained his composure. He scanned his surroundings again and understood what was going on. Where Muramasa had stood, only a lone knife remained stuck in the ground.

He walked over and pulled out the knife. This must be a keepsake the old man left behind before he passed away. So typical of him!

Thank you, sir.

"So that's how it is. Someone gave her some extra time," Merlin said, feigning ignorance. Mashu finally realized that Muramasa was no longer there.

"It was Mr. Muramasa who protected Caster. That's really his style..." Mashu couldn't help but sigh. He went in and took care of things without even saying hello. Is this the old man? Silently moving forward, huh?

Caster nodded. The reason she was still able to stay here was that Muramasa had died for his beliefs and completed the final work in her place.

Now that the Holy Sword has been delivered to the Starry Sea, the premise of this Lostbelt has been overturned. Presumably, it will be treated as if it never existed and slowly eroded.

"But before I am censored, I still have things to do. The otherworld created by the rebel Morgan, the fairy kingdom of Britain. The calamities born in this land will not be censored. Rather, they are threats to humanity that we must defeat."

As Ritsuka listened to her words, she subconsciously remarked that the girl's whole demeanor had changed. But it didn't matter, because...

"Welcome back, Caster."

Upon hearing his words, a fleeting look of sadness crossed Caster's face, but she still replied, "Yes! I'm back! Artoria Pendragon Caster! I've returned stronger than before, as the keeper of the Holy Sword!"

Chapter 457 The Calamity of Flame

Merlin couldn't help but remark that she was indeed incredibly powerful now, and her magical theory... wasn't it "Hero Creation" but "Holy Sword Forging"? How could it be so exaggerated?

"I've completed a pilgrimage. Artoria's dragon blood, the magic forged from the holy sword—how could this strange tale have created such a forbidden existence? It's too cunning. How come I didn't think of that back then?"

His words caused the other four to look helpless. Gareth laughed and told the others not to pay any attention to Merlin now. This is how he acts when he's being silly; back then, even the King and Father were at their wits' end with him.

"But things have come to this point, so let's accept it as a good outcome. The Holy Sword was born here, and the stars were born here."

The prophesied child has fulfilled his mission, and the foreign magician has provided assistance. Since that's the case, now it's my turn to mend the situation that has been missed!

If we reverse the timeline for Kornunos slightly, since once that guy appears, all the curses will overflow, and even with the protection of the Holy Sword, there will be no chance of victory.

"So let him... let me see, let's go back two hours. I anticipated things might turn out this way, so I put the whole cave into a dream. Let's treat the time Kornunos spent just now as a dream, and then let him wake up."

"Was it the one you did to Tiamat in Uruk? That's amazing, Merlin!" Ritsuka knew when to praise, so she didn't hold back her compliments. Merlin could handle praise, after all.

Merlin explained that he was quite bored after being released from the "Court," so he did what he could to help them.

However, precisely because of this, the spirit foundation is now completely dilapidated. Once the dream realm dissipates, the Merlin before them will also disappear.

"I'm sorry, I won't be able to go and help you finish this battle. There's no need for any more words of thanks. After all, it would be too shameless of me to let her sacrifice everything on her own. Although the outcome was slightly different, let's just consider that as a margin of error."

Having said that, he waved his staff, and blue light enveloped the four people before him. This was a special service for the return journey; instead of wasting time going through the spirit cave, he would send them all directly back to Storm Border.

"There is one hour left until Kornunos appears, and one hour after that until the curse overflows. This is the time you are allowed to fight to the death. This time, the victor should be decided."

"I, and Muramasa, have given everything. Now it's your turn to fight with all your might. Right? Nameless King, can I entrust Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu to you?"

Castor smiled and said that she could leave these matters to her, and that Merlin should take care of himself, after all, he was the true Flower Magician. However, this was just a projection of Avalon; the real Merlin was probably still in the Tower of Imprisonment.

"You've even seen through that? It seems you've truly become the guardian of the Holy Sword. Then let's set off! Let's journey to Britain, on the verge of destruction! To cross the twilight sky and welcome the clear blue heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all four of them disappeared. That was the end of what he could do; thankfully, everything had been done in time.

"Well, there's something else I forgot to ask. I've been using my clairvoyance to observe the journeys of the stargazers I'm destined to meet, but Ritsuka has been talking to himself a lot this time. And... what exactly is he trying to do?"

Ritsuka, back in the Storm Border control room, was reporting her experiences in Avalon as quickly as possible, while Mash took the Shield of the Round Table to the analysis room. The prototype of the Holy Sword must be preserved immediately for future analysis.

Holmes smiled and said that now that they had gathered so many elements, they could indeed start preparing their battle plan.

Professor Nemo has calculated when Kornunos will appear; it's about 30 minutes left. Then, in another hour, the curse will overflow from the great cave.

"Did you all hear that, everyone? The next hour and a half is crucial! The greatest enemy is Cornunos, who has appeared inside the great cave."

But before that, there is a calamity that must be stopped! The calamity must not be allowed to leave Britain, because leaving here would mean that its existence is permitted by pan-human history.

Swiftly defeat Bagst, who has traveled from Manchester through Oxford to Norwich, and then proceed to the Great Cave to defeat Cornunos! Neither we nor Britain are allowed any more time. From this moment on, the battle begins!

Just as Holmes delivered his declaration of war, the entire Storm Border began to shake violently. They had been attacked in mid-air! Ritsuka was initially incredulous, but then he remembered a flash of true blue light…

It seems she couldn't stop the calamity either.

Everyone quickly projected the external footage onto the main screen, and in that instant, they could clearly see the attacker's figure. Ritsuka didn't know how to describe this creature—was it a dragon? Or a fighter jet? No, that's too exaggerated!

"Air speed of 1200 kilometers per hour! And it's still accelerating! Amazing! It's using the magic of the air to jump! Mach 1, Mach 2, looks like it can continue to accelerate, it's a supersonic fighter jet!"
