Davidian's Holy Grail War

"It's over 40 meters high! And it's still consuming lightning! How can we fight this monster without Storm Border? How can we possibly defeat it? Is it too late to retreat?"

Munir's reasoning was correct; given the current situation, it was simply impossible to defeat Bagst.

"No, I must attack! Please let me go! That thing is nothing to fear. The old Bagst was much stronger!"

Mashu's words left Munir speechless. He could only ask Ritsuka if she was really alright and if they should really go into battle.

But Ritsuka issued the battle order without hesitation:

"Keep your direction unchanged, then stop at maximum range. I'm counting on you to maintain distance, Munir. My Mash isn't just for looks; Bagst isn't what she used to be either. Launch!"

"Yes! Open the hatch! Leg magic enhancement, commence! Mash Kyrielight, sortie!"

Chapter 460 The Round Table, The Attack

However, when Mashu actually engaged in battle with the current Bagst, Ritsuka felt an overwhelming pressure on her entire body.

Mashu's summoned Servants were no match for Bagust; she had completely transformed into a different being. Even Mashu had to admit that ordinary Servants would only become food for Bagust.

"But even so! I will never lose to you here! Some have regarded you as their pride, as a noble knight who protects Britain!"

I admire you—no, the shield of justice you admire is right here! I am—Mash Kyrielight, a knight of Chaldea! A member of the Round Table, tasked with warding off calamity and saving Britain!

The light from the round table shone brightly on her shield, and Mash's will was recognized by those seated there at that moment!

At this moment, the barrier of light surrounding Britain was shattered by the light of miracles. Now, they only need a little magic to sustain them before they can descend directly into the Fairy Kingdom!

However, faced with such light, Bagst only spewed out scorching flames...

Inside Shadow Border, Ritsuka knew that summoning only one Servant to fight would only result in them being easily crushed by Bagst, since Bagst had already summoned three times in a row.

He realized that this couldn't go on; simply delivering food wasn't enough. To defeat Bagst, he had to take drastic measures.

But now his consciousness is fading, and Munir can see just how bad his condition is through the rearview mirror. How strong is Ritsuka's fighting spirit to be so stubbornly defiant?

"No! We must retreat! It's not just a matter of combat strength; the magic devouring is simply too much of a magician killer! Mashu alone has no chance of winning! Contact Mashu now... What's that? Is Mashu's shield glowing? Hmm? Could it be Lord Davidian's Miracle Light?"

Ritsuka suddenly stood up abruptly. He had already seen the light on Mash's shield on the main screen. It was the same light of miracles that Mash had displayed when she fought against Calamity in Norwich.

"There's no mistake! Now's the time!"

He activated his Mystic Code immediately; the one he was currently wearing was the final battle Mystic Code he wore during the Grand Time Temple battle against Goetia. And the most convenient, yet most dangerous, function of this Mystic Code was this—the injection of active ampoules!

"Ritsuka, are you out of your mind? Are you planning to continue? You've already performed three summons in a row!" Munir was intimidated by Ritsuka's current aura, but Ritsuka didn't care about any of that at the moment.

His eyes were bloodshot and red, and he looked like a raging wild beast. But even in this state, he maintained his composure and said:

"Yes, there's no reason to back down, after all, this is Mashu's battle!! Since fighting one at a time will only lead to piecemeal tactics, let's summon all three at once! Since the enemy once had three fairy knights, we can also retaliate with three Knights of the Round Table!"

At this moment, empowered by Ritsuka's magic, the radiance on Mash's shield spread out completely. Three Servants of the Round Table descended directly upon this place. Since someone here had used their names, a connection had been established, and this battle was the most suitable battle for them.

The first Sun Knight to appear dispelled the flames spewed by Bagst with his holy solar fire, then he came to Mash's side and praised her:

"That's right, it's not an expression of anger towards the enemy, but a cry for oneself. Now that I've heard such a voice, how can I sit idly by?"

Your sudden appearance and condescending attitude can be quite annoying, so please bear with me! May I stand with you on the battlefield, Lady Mash?

Then came the azure lake, and the knight in pure white armor descended upon the battlefield, smiling as he said:

"I never expected you to beat me to it. I thought protecting such a graceful lady was my mission. But it seems that was just wishful thinking on my part. She doesn't need any protectors. Her fighting spirit and courage are like thunder in spring. How many of us can match her?"

With the final flash of the third ray of light, the strings were gently plucked, and the preparations began. At this moment, the Sad Prince chuckled and teased the two, "Don't even think about taking all the glory of fighting alongside this lady, Lord Gawain and Lord Lancelot."

"Wow, three Knights of the Round Table have appeared at the same time! No, that's not right! How could they appear? This Lostbelt shouldn't allow us to summon Pan-Humanist Heroic Spirits through normal means!"

In response to Mash's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and regret), Tristan chuckled and said that the three of them were a different story. After all, all three of their names had been used here; since the enemy had three fairy riders of the Round Table, it wasn't surprising that their side would send three human riders of the Round Table.

"Well, although we have no way of knowing who inherited our name, we have to thank them for their efforts, otherwise we would have missed such a wonderful moment."

"Alright, this spirit origin won't last more than a few minutes, but it's enough. I'll give the left leg to Gao Wenqing, and the giant mouth to Tristan! Our opponent is a demonic hound like Casey Palug, so now is not the time for us to fight over it."

Upon hearing Lancelot's words, Gawain and Tristan immediately regained their serious expressions. This was in front of their junior, Mash, so they certainly wouldn't take any rash actions.

"Then, let's go. Let's pave the way for the Shield Knights!" Tristan said, and a miracle light shone on his body as the Tenth Great Knight descended.

This sudden arrival stirred Mash, and the light emanating from her shot straight into the sky. Just as she was at a loss, Lord Tristan smiled and told her to just follow her instincts; they really couldn't hold back any longer.

Mashu heeded Tristan's words and followed the voice of her heart. She raised her hands towards the sky and shouted:

"I am—Mash Kyrielight, a Knight of the Round Table! And a warrior of the glorious and eternally resident British Legion! Hear my cry—my comrade, my fellow countryman! Lend me your strength at this moment!"

The warriors of the Fifth Company descended upon the battlefield at this moment, and Nevinmore smiled as she approached Mash. Who would have thought it was this little girl who had completed the summoning? Galahad's light had been fulfilled within her.

"There are four Knights of the Round Table and two First Legions present here. Such forces are invincible in Britain! This battle is one of victory or defeat!"

In response to Nevenmore's words, Mash thanked everyone present. Now, she asked them to grant her the power to defeat Bagst... no, the power to save Bagst!

"His name is Bagst, a loyal knight who has always protected Britain! He is a man who has fulfilled the duty of the strong and desires for the weak to survive."

"Dark calamity, leader of the beasts that devour fairies! We, as protectors of Britain, must stand here and stop your advance!"

The moment she finished speaking, Mashu led the charge, followed by the warriors of the Fifth Company and two other Round Table Knights responsible for melee combat. The Tenth Company and Tristan would complete the task of restraining and supporting, and they would defeat the [Beast Calamity] here!

Chapter 461 Angel Wings

The combined power of the Miracle Light blocked Bagst's flames, and her ability to devour magic was forcibly nullified at that moment.

Everyone was attacking with all their might, and warriors kept turning into spirit particles and returning to their seats, but at this moment they didn't care about any of that. All they wanted at this moment was victory!

No one held back. Lancelot was the first to unleash his Noble Phantasm, and the azure light shone brightly on his holy sword. He leaped high and used the sword to cleave Bagst's right arm.

"Shining like the surface of water! Burn fiercely! My holy sword—[Binding Chains Severed, Overlooking Lake Light]!"

He roared and slashed the holy sword, creating an exaggerated wound on Bagst's right arm. Bagst, having taken the heavy blow, swung his left claw in an attempt to tear him to shreds, but this was exactly what Lancelot wanted.

Because Gawain's holy sword had already been unleashed at this moment, before the left claw arrived, the holy flames of the sun had been fully released on Gawain's holy sword!

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun, the purifying flame that burns away all impurities—the Sword of Victory!"

With this holy sword, he tore Bagst's left claw directly through the middle of the claws, and Bagst was immediately crippled and lost his balance.

The next moment, the Vacuum Arrow imbued with the light of miracles locked her gaping maw tightly. The light of miracles this time was completely different from the one at the ranch!

It was Mashu who delivered the decisive blow, finding the perfect opportunity to swing her shield and strike Bagst's heart!

Even though it was a demonic hound, the location of its spirit core still existed. Mashu's attack completely ended her life and shattered the [Beast Calamity].

As Bagst began to dissipate, the surrounding flames and black smoke also vanished.

The soldiers of the Fifth and Tenth Companies were the first to disappear, followed by Lancelot, Gawain, and Tristan; the three of them also disappeared.

They didn't even say goodbye, but it didn't really matter. Next time something similar happens, they'll come to help just the same way.

After all, helping the weak and oppressed is their duty at all times, and they are happy to contribute their efforts to these matters.

As the giant black dog vanished, Mashu seemed to see tears glistening in her crimson eyes, tears of pain or gratitude she couldn't tell.

At this moment, Mashu could only hope that those were tears of pain, but what was the reality?

Thinking of this, she bowed to the now deserted battlefield. She was grateful for the help of her compatriots, which had enabled her to successfully save Bagst.

It was because of their arrival that I was able to show Bagst the true spirit of the British Round Table—to defeat evil and uphold justice.

After a short rest, Mashu ran towards the Shadow Border, eager to return to Ritsuka's side and share the joy of victory with him.

However, the power of the [Beast Calamity] did not disappear.

When she got back to the car, Munir excitedly shouted to Ritsuka, "Mash is back!" Ritsuka smiled and said, "After all, she's my junior. Isn't it normal for her to be so amazing?"

"So you're the one who's really something, remotely summoning three Knights of the Round Table, using two Noble Phantasms, and bringing two First Legions into Dalian. Now you should lie down and rest, buckle up your seatbelt and take a nap!"

Storm Border is now en route to Salisbury, 20 minutes from where they'll meet up. You all better get some rest until you come to a complete stop!

Ritsuka followed Munir's instructions and lay down to rest, while Mash stayed by his side.

The two held hands, feeling each other's warmth. Mashu knew, of course, how much Ritsuka had supported her behind the scenes, which made her even more moved—it was so wonderful to be her senior's Servant.

Meanwhile, Storm Border had already reached Salisbury. Da Vinci landed directly in front of Mike's shop using her backpack jetpack. She quickly ran inside, where Mike was wiping tables in the lobby.

Mike was overjoyed to see Leonardo da Vinci return. After exchanging information about their current situations, Leonardo da Vinci explained his purpose for coming.

She's here to retrieve what she left behind; both Tifone and Habertrot must return to the ship immediately.

"Go back...where to?" Mike's eyes changed abruptly, but Da Vinci seemed completely oblivious. She said their ships were hovering in the air, and they were about to go and destroy the final calamity.

She also invited Mike to leave with her, since Salisbury was in complete chaos. It was too dangerous for Mike to stay there; it would be better for him to go with them.

But Mike refused; he was content to stay there. Safety wasn't a concern; in his eyes, his shop was the safest place. He didn't need to go out; he could simply stay there.

Da Vinci smiled slightly after hearing his words and rushed upstairs. Habertrot's condition seemed off to her too. But Habertrot still said reluctantly, "No need to explain, I'm happy to relax."

“That’s true. I don’t understand why things have turned out this way, nor do I understand why you made this choice. I just came to this conclusion after scanning the entire territory of Britain from the submarine. Would you be willing to help us?”

When asked by Da Vinci-chan, Habe-nyan smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course, it's hard to stay awake all the time."

"I'm sorry, but please take me with you. My body won't cooperate anymore."

Da Vinci-chan looked saddened upon hearing these words, but she still stubbornly insisted that she had been planning this way for a while.

"Thank you all this time, Habertlot. You truly are the bride's protector."

Da Vinci used her support equipment to lift Habertlot and then gently carried her down the stairs. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Mike; this was perhaps the last time they would see each other.
