I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Vimana—

Gilgamesh's aerial Noble Phantasm.

That was a golden treasure that could fly through the air.

In this situation, unless the Servant also possesses a flying device, they are already at a severe disadvantage.

"Berserker, come back!" The Command Seal on the back of Mavis's hand lit up slightly, and the next moment, Lu Bu, who was charging towards Gilgamesh, was forcibly teleported to her side.

"It is with great regret, King of Heroes, that Berserker's Servant is not under our control." Mavis bowed as she spoke, her eyes subtly flicking upwards to glance at Saber not far away, before continuing, "His actions towards you are entirely spontaneous, unaffected by—"

boom----

next moment.

Swords and halberds clashed—

Mordred's sword blocked Berserker's halberd swing at Mavis!

"Well--"

Mordred took several steps back before stopping, her hands trembling slightly, but she immediately gripped her sword again: "What... this guy's power!"

The next moment, she composed herself and said mockingly to Lü Bu, "What's wrong? Have you finally given up on your desire to kill your lord?"

"Roar——————(Mind your own business! How dare you order me around! Be prepared to die by my halberd!)!!"

slam-la-

“There’s no other way…” Mavis frowned slightly, looking at the Command Seals on the back of her hand.

However... well, it's fine this way. Actually, Berserker's attack on Gilgamesh was entirely at her instigation. If it had succeeded, that would have been good, as it meant the Holy Church had lost its power to resist them.

Betraying the Thirteenth Division would mean being completely slaughtered by the Berserker, who originally belonged to the Black Party.

If they had stopped it, they would have said that the Berserker was out of control and that they wouldn't have disrupted the current situation... But, unexpectedly, this Berserker turned around and even tried to kill its own Master.

In that case...

"Quiet down and disappear, Berserker—"

"Roar—(Next time we meet, I'll take your head!)!!"

The next moment, the Berserker, commanded by the Command Spell, disappeared unwillingly.

"Hmph! Is the clown's performance over already?" He glanced at Enkidu standing to the side, then put away the Gate of Babylon he was about to activate. "Well, never mind, let's stop here for today. The real battle will wait until we've wiped out all those petty villains!"

"Wait! King of Heroes! There are some things I need to say to everyone, including you—how about Lancer from the Black Faction and Lancer's Master come over and listen too?"

Martha quickly stopped the King of Heroes, saying, "This is a revelation from the Lord, and it's a necessary process to achieve the Holy Grail War correctly. Otherwise... it might give rise to a crisis that could destroy the world!"

"Hmph, I have no interest in that," Gilgamesh said, preparing to leave.

“Let’s pause for a moment, Jill, and listen to what she’s talking about as a ‘crisis that will destroy the world,’” Enkidu said with a smile.

"Well... fine, I'll give you a little face and go ahead—I'm listening, but if I get bored, I don't care who you are as the Ruler."

"If you want to fight, just say so! What are you beating around the bush for! Just listen when I tell you to—why are you so talkative?"

Barthezmero: "..."

Magic Association: "......"

Church of the Holy Church: "..."

The servants: "..."

"Ahem...uh...I hope everyone will listen carefully, after all, this concerns the survival of the world."

"...Haha ...

"No, no, no, we didn't hide at all. We just didn't hide. It's just that the monster was too big. Lancer's attacks probably weren't very effective."

As Kurokawa Kazuya walked over with Alucard, he also relayed another matter through the Master-Servant communication system: "Well? Did you swallow that thing?"

The "thing" that Kurokawa Kazuya was referring to was none other than that enormous sea monster—

Alucard... had already drunk the blood of that sea monster!

Previously, when the Sea Demon was still around, the blood that flowed from its battle with the Servant flowed all the way to Alucard's feet, where it was absorbed by him.

As long as... as long as we successfully absorb this enormous sea monster.

This undoubtedly increases their trump card! Everyone has witnessed just how powerful that enormous monster is; if they successfully absorb it into Alucard's River of Death and unleash it during the battle, they can reverse their current disadvantageous situation to some extent!

Chapter 245 Before the New Moon

"That sea monster...?"

Alucard shook his head: "Indeed, I drank its blood, indeed, that guy is dead... When it comes to judging whether something is alive or dead, surely no one is more accurate than me?"

"That's right, so what was the result? Did it succeed? Or did it fail?"

"The answer is no, I failed. I couldn't swallow that guy into my River of Death!"

"why?"

“Blood is the currency of the soul… However, the first point is that the creature possesses a soul—” Alucard continued, “That monster is simply a mass of flesh, it doesn’t possess any soul or spirit, it only has… the instinct of a flesh body to devour everything… Such an existence is unacceptable, such an existence cannot be dragged into my River of Death!”

"I see... then there's no other way."

Having confirmed these things, Kurokawa Kazuya followed Alucard to the others.

"Kurokawa Kazuya... I didn't expect you to participate in this Holy Grail War as well." Bartholomew looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and said, "What? How about joining our side? After all, you're a member of the Clock Tower, right?"

“No… no thanks.” Kurokawa Kazuya bowed and said with a smile, “Thank you for taking care of me during our time at the Clock Tower… but this time, please excuse me. I want to witness this Holy Grail War firsthand, to see its beginning and end, not from the perspective of any one person or side, but from a unique and arbitrary viewpoint. So please allow me to decline.”

"Is that so...then there's nothing more to say. Die, Kurokawa Kazuya, just die on this Egyptian soil." Barthemello said, arms crossed. This wasn't just an angry outburst; it was Barthemello's genuine thought.

Indeed, she likes Kurokawa Kazuya's manga.

But that's all there is to it.

For her, what was more important was the continuation of the Great Source and the glory of Barthezmello.

If you're in my way, move aside; if you don't, then go die.

It's that simple.

"Alright, let's talk about these things later," Ruler said. "First, I need to talk about something else very important: a soul that doesn't belong to this world has appeared in this Holy Grail War! A Heroic Spirit that doesn't belong to this world!"

"Isn't that him?! He's impossible to kill, a monster among monsters! He doesn't belong to this world, you could even say he only belongs to the comic book world." Mordred pointed at Alucard: "That's him, right? So, we have to kill him first, right?"

"What a pity. It wouldn't have been bad to face all of you directly like this; that would have been perfect," Alucard said with a sinister grin. "But unfortunately, it seems that's not what Ruler meant!"

“Yes, that is indeed the case! Although what Alucard said may seem nonexistent, it is not actually true—Vlad III does exist in this world... So... Mr. Alucard, is it alright for me to say it?”

Martha was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that her rank was Ruler, and it wouldn't be good to reveal so much, so she quickly asked.

"It doesn't matter, you've already said it anyway, and... even if you hadn't said it, they should have already guessed pretty much it, right? My, Master..."

“Alright, go ahead and say it.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded.

“Yes, then I’ll continue…” Suppressing her inner turmoil, Martha continued, “He is actually Vlad III, but only one aspect of him, a… aspect that shouldn’t exist, yet he is undoubtedly a person of this world. But—the next one is different; that person undoubtedly doesn’t belong to this world!”

Martha exclaimed the name with some excitement: "The Black Rider! Dio Brando!"

Kurokawa Kazuya's pupils contracted slightly. Dio?

How could he?

"That's right... I think many of you here know, right? That completely fictional being that shouldn't exist in this world has also been summoned. As a Servant... and it was summoned about two years ago—"

"I think everyone knows what happened next, right? Although he doesn't belong to this world, his power, his abilities, and his personality are not fake... He's no longer a fabricated being. Without realizing it, without knowing when, he has become someone who came from another world."

"But even so, so what?" Bartholomew said, dissatisfied. "You make it sound so amazing... Do you think I haven't seen JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? He can only stop time for nine seconds at most, right? Although it seems powerful, there are countless Servants who can kill him. Destroy the world? You're exaggerating."

“Generally speaking, that’s true… but Dio is different.” Martha said, suppressing her own urge to confront Dio, “You know better than anyone what Dio Brando is planning.”

As she spoke, Martha looked at Kazuya Kurokawa: "In that JOJO, wasn't Dio always staying in Cairo, Egypt, planning something? Planning something unknown to others? But it seems that the plan failed before it could succeed, and he was killed by Jotaro Kujo. And now, he has appeared again, come to this world, and seems to be continuing his previous plan... To be honest, setting the battle in Egypt was a really bad move."

Mordred and others who hadn't seen JoJo's Bizarre Adventure looked completely bewildered. "What is she talking about?" "What plan?" "Who is Dio?" "And what does Jotaro Kujo do?" "We definitely need to go back and watch JoJo..."

so...

"Hmm...I see." Kurokawa Kazuya seemed to have thought of something and asked Basemelo, "When was the last new moon in Cairo?"

“New Moon…I think it should be tomorrow, right? What’s wrong?” Barthemello thought carefully for a while, but couldn’t remember, so he looked at Mavis and got the answer before speaking.

“Then we can be certain,” Kurokawa Kazuya said. “Dio has touched upon another realm, and the time for his Stand to evolve is tomorrow, at the time of the new moon!”

Chapter 246 The Possibility of Kurokawa Kazuya

There is more than one place to go to heaven.

The landing location is also different for each individual.

Dio had calculated that his ascension to heaven would take place right here, in Cairo!

Then...

There are also other requirements: [At the time of the new moon] [Fourteen keywords]

as well as...

The opposite is the sinner.

Or it could be described as an enemy—

“Fate has always been on my side, DIO.” Watching the sun rise, DIO hid in the darkness: “This can be seen from the fact that the Holy Grail War was held in Cairo, and... this time Jotaro is not in the way.”

"Spiral Staircase, Rhinoceros Beetle, Ruins Street, Fig Tower, Rhinoceros Beetle, Path of Suffering, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity, Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity, Secret Emperor"

DIO recited these keywords to his Stand: "The time has come! The opportunity has arrived... Everything is ready!"

"Jing Ke... Giles de Rais... and, hehe, the Dead Apostles including Colin Kidd... Well done, everyone—you have successfully completed your mission and delayed time until now—now is the time, tonight! I, DIO, will ascend to heaven and become the true ruler of the world!"

“Joseph Dawson! Edward Cavendish! Guy Dijour! Isaac Barnes!” Dio called out the names of the last four high-ranking Dead Apostles still by his side.

"Yes, Lord DIO." The Dead Apostles knelt on the ground, offering their loyalty to the evil emperor.
