The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

The power of Zeus had originally transformed into the lightning under Bucephalus' feet, and now it was just making the bull's power manifest, unleashing real devastation here.

The horse in front of me changed into an appearance that looked like both a horse and a cow. At first glance, it would be difficult to tell its species.

However, the terrifying magic power contained in him made people have no time to think about such things.

The warrior in black armor immediately changed his movements. Although Rider could not see his expression because he was wearing armor, he could still smell some nervousness.

The full-length sword was held upright in front of Rider. Rider stretched out his left hand and brushed past the sword.

An ominous red-purple flame appeared on the sword. This should be the use of magic power, which contains the power of lightning and ghosts.

The two shoulder armors floating beside Rider combined together to block Rider's body, forming a shield-like effect.

"Not enough. Far from enough."

But is such an approach enough to resist the ravages and conquests brought about by the combined power of the gods?

Under Bucephalus's feet, purple lightning and white moonlight were blooming, and a triangular mark shone brightly from his forehead covered with white spots.

Bucephalus's attack was extremely fast, and Rider had no time to make any more moves. When the shoulder armor was blocked in front of him, the kick flashing with magic power had already stepped forward.

With just the first step, Bucephalus broke through the defensive shoulder armor in front of him, and the remaining magic power directly hit the defending sword.

The attack was not over yet. The charge of conquest would not end with just one kick. Without stopping, the steed stepped forward again, wanting to trample the enemy under its feet.

After all, no matter what, the final result of such a sprint is to knock down the enemy and then thoroughly ravage him.

If the first step cannot be completed, then the ultimate power will undoubtedly only reach half of its original value.

However, Rider knew after the first attack that he would not be able to resist the next attack.

Even the sword in his hand might be crushed by someone, although this sword is not the weapon he uses to win the battle, he still needs to rely on this weapon when other treasures cannot be used directly.

Rider turned the sword in her hand, and the magic power was compressed on her sword. Then she thrust the sword into the ground and detonated the magic power directly.

The huge amount of magic power released by the skill directly shattered the surrounding area, but Bucephalus was able to step directly into the air and continue forward without being affected too much.

It was just a slight slowdown caused by the secondary burst of magic power. Of course, this was all Rider wanted.

She immediately flashed back to her Master's side, turned her head and said, "Master, let me suggest you retreat."

"Well, let's do this. It seems a bit difficult to fight against this ownerless rider."

The young warrior nodded and said that she also saw that in the battle between the two sides, her servants were at a disadvantage and at a disadvantage.

Although no Noble Phantasms were used, Noble Phantasms should not be used directly in the early stages of the Holy Grail War.

"I didn't say you were allowed to retreat. You should at least show that you are satisfactory to me."

Manshu did not intend to let Rider and his servants retreat directly. He just patted the horse under him and let it charge forward again.

But Rider naturally had his own mount. Purple magic power expanded from his body in an instant, and a black horse with two horns appeared, like a demon from hell, accompanied by a strange green demonic energy.

Rider held the reins of the demon horse with one hand and grabbed his Master with the other hand and brought her onto the horse's back.

"We have no intention of being your enemy, masterless Rider. It was my fault for coming here today. Next time I will definitely be polite and apologize to you."

The young warrior turned his head while sitting on his horse and said, the apology in his words was genuine and there was no falsehood.

"Then leave your name and let me see your sincerity for the next day."

This appearance seemed somewhat novel to Manshu, so he pulled the reins and stopped Bushifalas.

"My name is Yui Masayuki, a martyr who aspires to achieve justice. Sir Rider, I am very sorry."

"A righteous man?"

Naturally, Manshu couldn't help but look at Youjing Zhengxue a few more times. This was a young righteous man with tied hair and a green feather robe on his body. At first glance, he really looked like that.

"what?"

Just by looking at him a few more times, Manshu saw something familiar in Youjing Zhengxue.

Without any further action, Manshu turned his horse around and chose to leave.

"Artificial life, is it the Lesser Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War? But it doesn't seem to be. Let's keep it for a few days and see."

Manshu muttered to himself as he left, and Yu Jing Zhengxue was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there are also some powerful heroes among the summoned masterless servants. We must be more careful in the next contact."

"Let's go back and prepare a gift to apologize, and then continue to collect information on the other masters and servants."

"As ordered."

Rider rode the demon horse under his crotch and left here, leaving only a piece of shattered land. Soon, people dressed as Onmyoji came here.

Chapter 3 Situation

"Based on the traces, I'm afraid the two Riders had a brief battle here."

The Onmyoji who was doing the aftermath work here cleaned up the magic power and traces left here, and then reported to the Onmyoji who seemed to have a higher status.

The man was wearing dark clothes and an Onmyoji hat. A white cloth with patterns on it hung from the hat, covering his face.

"It seems that the masterless servant summoned here in Ueno is Rider. I will go back and report to my brother first. You continue to deal with the mysterious traces here."

"Yes."

"You must be careful not to leave any magic behind. During this period of time in Edo, because of the waxing moon ceremony, many things have been infected by the magic that permeates Edo and turned into demons. You must not let the magic harm Edo."

The Onmyoji gave a few final solemn instructions and then left in a hurry. He headed towards Kanei-ji Temple not far from Ueno.

"It seems that the Onmyojis are maintaining the order of this Holy Grail War. That temple is the base of the Onmyojis. We should also pay a visit to the host of the Holy Grail War."

It cannot be said that Manshu went far away, after all, he did not even have a place to stay. He just rode Bushifalas away from Lin for a distance, then dismissed the horse and strolled in the suburbs of Ueno.

He left his sight to observe the place where the battle had just taken place, in order to catch the other masters and servants who would arrive, as well as the defenders of the Holy Grail War.

Mansu didn't know much about this period of Japanese history. If it was the Warring States Period, he could still name a few names, but this Warring States Period had already ended and the Tokugawa shogunate had ruled for decades.

Manshu was really confused about the current situation in Japan, and naturally had no idea about the situation there.

Do you want to find a place to live? But it doesn't seem necessary. Compared with the houses you can see at a glance, you can't enjoy much.

It would be better to visit the supervisor of this Holy Grail War first and see if there are any arrangements that can be made there.

At the very least, he could at least learn about the current situation from the other party, which was better than Manshu being completely in the dark and having to rely on his own eyes to grasp the current situation.

Besides, Manshu didn't know what the setting dark sun would bring him, and he also needed to be on guard against the half-remaining test mentioned by Tezcatlipoca.

This guy is really quite haunting, perhaps it is also the characteristic of it as the night wind.

After all, the ending of a certain Nordic main god has already been written, but who can blame the fact that Norse mythology eventually fell into the hands of Christians? It is better to be a eunuch than to be written to death.

Having made up his mind, Mansu changed direction and walked towards the location of Kan'ei-ji Temple.

Anyway, this is the first day since I was summoned, so there is no need to be overly anxious. Although this scene has a sense of desolation, it is still an exotic scenery after all.

Manshu still had to walk for a while before he gradually lost the mood to appreciate the scenery, but it happened that Kanei-ji Temple was built in Ueno, so the distance was not very far.

Even if Manshu took a stroll, it only took him a few dozen minutes to see the temple.

What catches the eye are the Buddha sculptures placed one after another on the stone wall, and the two stone lanterns in front of the gate of Kanei-ji Temple emit a long blue flame.

There are also two stone lampstands behind the door, and next to the lampstands are groups of white candles, burning with the same blue flame as the flame on the lampstands.

"Is this tranquility, or is it death?"

Manshu walked towards the candlelight with great interest, squatted down, and reached out to touch the faint blue flame burning on the white candle.

"It's not what I thought, but the owner of this place should have noticed it. Just treat this as a notice."

Manshu withdrew his hand with regret. This temple was built to pray for peace in Edo and the safety of the shogunate.

Ueno is the location of the ghost gate of Edo Castle, so this temple was built to suppress the ghost gate and prevent evil spirits from being attracted.

Therefore, this temple has also been protected by the shogunate as the clan temple of the Tokugawa family, but today it seems that no shogunate warriors were seen nearby.

"Hmm? There are guests visiting, but the owner of this place is indifferent?"

Manshu slowly withdrew his hand, stood up and continued to admire the temple, but when he passed through the gate, he did not feel any movement.

On the contrary, the barrier set up in this temple is still operating normally, with no signs of opening and no flow of magic power.

"Is that too polite? Yes, the premise of communication is to treat each other as equals. It turns out that not everyone knows how to behave."

Uncle Man sighed regretfully and whistled.

A black horse came from the void with lightning in its step. Mansu jumped on the horse and ordered the horse to gallop as much as it wanted.

The roar of thunder once again made a deafening sound across the land, waking the residents of Edo from their deep sleep once again.

"It seems that there is a servant lingering at the gate of the temple. Are you going to pay attention to it?"

Deep inside Kanei-ji Temple, in the temple house at the end, one person was standing and one was sitting cross-legged.

The one who spoke was a man standing on the ground, his face pale as a dead man, looking listless and as if he didn't care about anything.

"Don't worry, this is the territory of the shogunate. If anyone has the guts to attack here, they will be cut off from Edo. Moreover, we are witnesses of the waxing moon ceremony.

Before Long Jun gathers all the intelligence, there is no need to come into contact with unknown factors whose situations cannot be determined. Once he has the information on all the ownerless heroic spirits and has the victory of the ceremony in his hands, he won't have to worry about those guys anymore.

The revival of the Tsuchimikado family will definitely be completed here, and then Longjun won’t have to worry about taking over the family.”

The man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and talking was named Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro. He was a descendant of Abe Haruaki and the current head of the Tsuchimikado family, the main family of Onmyoji.

It is not excessive for him to be a witness of the Full Moon Ceremony with this identity. Moreover, he is not only that, he is also the organizer of this ceremony.

But if you look at the back of his hand, you can't help but see the three bright red Command Seals.

He is not only the organizer and witness, but also a participant.

"I hope your plan won't go wrong, but this is what I want to say, and I also hope that I won't need to appear too early anyway."

"Continue to prepare..."

Tsuchimikado Taihiro, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground like an old pine tree, was about to give an order, but the voice was shattered by the deafening thunder as soon as it came out from under his immature mask.

"How is this possible? Are you planning to force your way in? This is too barbaric and stupid!"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro made an angry sound, but before he could get up and do anything, blood spurted out of his mouth and branded his immature veil, and he fell backwards.

This was the backlash of magical power caused by the destruction of the barrier set up in Kuanguang Temple. The barrier was completely demolished in an instant, causing the weak Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro to be severely injured.

"It seems that things are a bit difficult. The thunder is somewhat similar to the previous one. I'm afraid the one coming from outside is the ownerless Rider that your brother reported before."

The spiritless man didn't show much change in expression. He just waved his hands and looked at Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro.

"Long Jun! Is Long Jun here?"

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro propped himself up by holding onto the floor and shouted towards the door.

"Yes, I'm here."

Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro's younger brother, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi, was standing outside the door. When he heard his brother's voice, he immediately knelt on one knee and waited for orders.

"There is a guest coming to our house. I am not feeling well and cannot go out to greet him. Longjun, you will go to greet this guest. Since he is a masterless servant in Ueno, please treat him as a neighbor and be friendly to him."

"I understand, brother, leave it to me."

After receiving the order, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi immediately stood up and rushed towards the direction where the thunder came from.

As Tsuchimikado Takatoshi walked outside, he could see with his own eyes the horrible state of Kuankoji Temple.

At least one-third of the temple was affected by the lightning, and the building became a charred wreckage under the howling purple lightning.

Is this the power of a heroic spirit? Just by roaring in, it brought destruction that could not be produced by human power.

"Hey, has anyone finally figured it out? Um... this Holy Grail War is called the Ceremony of the Waxing Moon, right? Are you a witness to this ceremony?"

Manjusri rode on the back of Busefalas, holding the reins in one hand and pointing at Tsuchimikado Takatoshi with the other.

"If it's an insignificant guy, then there's no need to say anything. Just get out of the way. I'm not interested in taking the life of an insignificant person."

"Well……"

When Tsuchimikado Takatoshi walked out, he felt as if there was a force of ten thousand tons pressing down on him in an instant. He looked up and saw only the scorching sun burning fiercely.

The sun was so bright that the heat and heat waves it brought almost overturned me.

Subconsciously, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi almost fell to his knees, but the pain brought by the huge pressure all over his body made him sober up a little.

“Yes… yes, my name is Tsuchimikado Takatoshi, and I’m the younger brother of brother Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro, who is the witness of this Full Moon Ceremony.

My elder brother is in poor health and cannot go out to greet guests, so he asked me to come down to greet them.

Although there are reasons for this, I have indeed neglected the guests, and I hope you can forgive me."
