The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

However, Manshu felt that there was not much difference after looking around, so he simply chose a remote place with few people, so as to avoid the trouble of setting up a barrier to drive people away.

Although Manshu certainly had no such intention, it was better to have less trouble.

After choosing a place, Manshu opened his eyes and let the sun jump out of his eyes.

"May you come to my aid in my prayers, dear goddess Sekhmet. Is it okay to say this?"

Manshu smiled and joked with the golden lion in front of him. He reached out and stroked the hair that was as gorgeous as flowing gold, but still felt it was not enough, so he stuck to it directly and immersed himself in the flowing gold.

There was a warm and gentle breath flowing in the fur, making it difficult to tell whether it was a lion or a cat.

Sekhmet didn't make any further movements. He just stood there, looking up, exhaling white air from his nose, and squinting his eyes with a comfortable look.

Mansu did not linger in the hair for too long. He stood up again and patted Sekhmet's body.

"Thank you for your help, my beloved Lion Goddess. This is such a tedious task, but you are the only one I can think of at the moment."

Sekhmet did not give any vocal response, but turned his head and touched Mansu, then jumped out, stretching out his front legs to dig the ground in front of him.

After arranging this matter, Manshu rushed to Kan'ei-ji Temple, where he had made some repairs to the gate and front yard of the temple that had been destroyed by Manshu before.

The destroyed buildings were moved away, a door was temporarily rebuilt, and some barriers were temporarily set up, but the effect is estimated to be only able to intercept some unskilled guys.

It’s better to make something of this level again. Bucephalus directly passed through the temporary defensive barriers, and the lightning under his feet shattered everything.

"What on earth does the masterless Rider want to do? He keeps breaking in here, again and again. If it weren't for the fact that I'm seeking true victory, does he really think that he can act so recklessly?"

It was difficult to conceal the anger of Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro in Kankoji Temple, even though his face was covered with a cloth.

"You still can't act rashly before your ritual is completed. You can only let the other party do what they want. Patience is essential. Don't make the same mistakes as in history. I hope I don't need to show up too early."

His followers just advised slowly from the side.

"Long Jun, Long Jun. I'll leave this annoying guy to you. I'm going to go somewhere else to speed up the progress of the technique. You stay here and deal with these unnecessary matters."

"I understand, brother."

After receiving the order, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi immediately stood up and rushed towards the courtyard, while Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro and his servants in the room had to make some preparations before setting off.

……

"Sir Rider, I wonder if you are coming here to take away the gift from Mr. Yui Masayuki or if you have something else to do?"

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi walked over quickly with a smile on his face and asked Mansu with a respectful look.

"I just have some doubts in my mind, so I came here to ask, do you recognize this knife?"

Manshu pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist, threw it to the ground, and stabbed it in front of Tsuchimikado Takatoshi.

　陑㈨⒋％０四傘俉」ˇLu≤¨④Search【♀Search∮∮Q群＼－: "Ah?"

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi was startled by this action, but he immediately suppressed his shock and looked at the sword in front of him in doubt.

"Hiss, this knife..."

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi took a look and seemed to have the answer, but he was not so sure, so he still looked at it carefully.

"This is probably the Dojikiri Yasutsuna who once cut off Shuten Doji's head. Did you take this sword from the summoned Servant?"

Chapter 19 Success

The Doji-kiri Yasutsuna is a masterpiece made by the swordsmith Yasutsuna of Hoki Province during the Heian period. The most famous story about this sword is that Minamoto no Raikou used it to kill the demon king Shuten-doji who was causing chaos in Mount Oe.

During the Muromachi period, this sword was known as the Five Swords of the World along with four other famous swords. It was used to kill Shuten-doji, so it is not surprising that it also possesses mysterious properties.

"So that's Minamoto no Raikou? No wonder he has both the aura of a demon and the divine nature of thunder and lightning."

In Type-Moon, Minamoto no Raikou is regarded as the strongest mysterious killer in the Heian period, having killed Shuten-doji, Tsuchigumo, and the Gyu-oki of Sensō-ji Temple.

The killing of the spider and Shuten-doji are very familiar to those who know the name Minamoto no Raikou. However, the third thing, the Sensō-ji Gyu-oki, is not so widely known.

Type-Moon spent a lot of effort to feminize Minamoto no Raikou, and at least he managed to make something decent.

According to legend, Minamoto no Raikou's father, Minamoto no Naka, had another child before he and his wife gave birth to Minamoto no Raikou.

But the child was possessed by the God Kitano, and was eventually born in the year, month, and hour of the Ox. His mother had been pregnant for three years and three months when he was born. He had the appearance of a demon with horns and a face. After his birth, he caused a series of strange phenomena.

So Minamoto no Manaka regarded the child as an ominous curse and ordered people to abandon him, but the child was picked up by a monk from Sensō-ji Temple and raised by him.

When this child grew up, he became a demon that no one else could do anything about, and was called Ugly Gozen.

After learning about this, Minamoto no Mitsunaka sent his son Minamoto no Raikou and his four heavenly kings to Sensō-ji Temple to attack Ushigozen.

In the end, Raikou and the Four Heavenly Kings fought fiercely with Ushigozen for many days. Ushigozen jumped into the Sumida River and transformed into a giant bull over ten feet long, killing countless pursuing soldiers. After that, Ushigozen disappeared.

In the fourth story of Minamoto no Raikou's bond, it is described as follows: The ancient Joruri "Ugly Gozenchi", a child born as the son of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, was secretly raised in a temple due to his abnormal birth.

At the age of 15, the ominous demon child called himself Ugly Gozen and established his own demon kingdom in the Suzu Forest of Shinagawa.

The ones who set out on the journey to destroy the Demon Kingdom were none other than his father's samurai Minamoto no Raikou and the Four Heavenly Kings led by him.

Ugly Gozen is the incarnation of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, and the Bull-Headed Heavenly King is the incarnation of Indra, also known as Indra.

...Who is Ushigozen? The only people who know the truth about the outcome of this battle are Minamoto no Raikou and Sakata Kintoki.

This part of information also explains the setting of Minamoto no Raikou in Type-Moon. The first person who was sent to the temple was actually Minamoto no Raikou himself, and there was no legendary brother Ushigozen.

And "Gozen" itself is also a name for women, so it is natural to set Minamoto no Raikou as a female character.

The matter of defeating the Ushi-oni became a process of confrontation between the two personalities within Minamoto no Raikou's body, and the final result was the retreat of Ushigozen's personality and the end of his self-sealing.

It is also because she has the presence of a god and an ominous curse that she possesses both the divinity of Indra and the characteristics of a ghost.

So this matter is not surprising. Although it stands to reason that Minamoto no Raikou, who has sealed his other personality, would not have the skills of the Demon Seed, but it is hard to say what period of Minamoto no Raikou he is from. Maybe he summoned the period when he had not yet decided the outcome with the personality in his body.

"I didn't expect that even Minamoto no Raikou, the 'famous general of the military family and the guardian of the Asa family', was no match for you. He was the one who killed Shuten-doji and Katsuragi-san Tsuchigumo."

After receiving Manshu's recognition, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. After all, this name was very well-known to him.

"She has a good character as a heroic spirit, but it's a pity that she met me."

The quality of this Holy Grail War does not seem to be very high. Although there are still servants who can be considered TOP, there are no servants who have reached the level of Guige.

　Maybe it's because Manshu is unlucky and has never met him, but among the servants he has seen so far, the strongest should be Yamato Takeru who wields the sword Ame-no-Kume, but he should be only at a level similar to the Knight King.

Although it can be considered a top-level servant, it still seems to be inferior to the so-called lightning attack.

At present, it seems that apart from the sword, it has no more abilities. It only has great firepower but no defense. It is a typical unbalanced ability.

Of course, there is no guarantee that the other party does not have any hidden cards. If there are other means, the evaluation can naturally be raised.

"Okay, this matter is settled. Now let me ask you the second question. The core of this Waxing Moon Ceremony, the Waxing Moon, the wish-granting machine fought for by the Servants, do you have that thing in your hands?"

Manshu drove his horse forward two steps so that he could reach out and take back the knife that was stuck in the ground. While wiping the dust off the knife, he continued to ask.

"…Excuse me for asking, but do you want to know this because you intend to seize the Moon by force? If you intend to do so, it would be meaningless.

The wish machine that constitutes this ritual, the Waxing Moon, is just an ordinary container before the ritual is completed. Only by absorbing the souls of the servants who failed in the ritual can the Waxing Moon Ritual truly succeed.

⑻And now, even if you take the full moon into your own hands, you will not be able to use it or make a wish for it. "

㈤ Tsuchimikado Takatoshi couldn't figure out what the servant in front of him was thinking for a moment. Mansu was still sitting upright on his horse. After wiping the dust off the knife, he slowly put the knife away without casting any glance at him.

"Heh, why worry about such things? When I accepted the call and came here, the ceremony had already been concluded. The winner would not have any other choice except me.

Lu: So I'm just here to claim my prize in advance, not to discuss anything with you. I'm not interested in intimidating a guy like you, just point out the direction honestly, so that I don't have to spend any effort and time here, and there won't be any casualties, right?"

Lu Manshu said to Tsuchimikado Takatoshi while searching the land bit by bit.

⒊ "If you insist on doing it your own way, then please follow me. Yingyue is in my brother's room, but even if you take Yingyue away, you will not get the result you expect."

4 However, Tsuchimikado Takatoshi spoke after hesitating for a moment.

"Huh? What an unexpected fellow! You have earned a chance and grace to survive. But you don't need to lead the way for me. I have already found it."

2Mansu uttered a surprised laugh, and Bucephalus took a step forward at his words.

When the voice fell, there was no one in front of Tsuchimikado Takatoshi, only the rumbling thunder was heard from behind.

Chapter 20 Confirmation

The building behind Kan'ei-ji Temple was blown away by the terrible gale. The ceiling of the room where Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro had stayed before had disappeared, leaving only the part connected to the ground.

The core of this ceremony, the waxing moon that serves as a wish-making machine, is stored here.

Manshu walked into the room, drew out the Tongzi Cutter from his waist and directly split the wooden cabinet in the middle of the room.

Regardless of whether there was some magic trap or something else, at least after one chop of the sword, nothing existed.

The same ominous magical power leaked out of the cracked cabinet, revealing a rather strange-looking "Holy Grail".

"It is indeed a very low-quality imitation. It can't even produce colorless magic. The soul of the recovered heroic spirit was filthy from the beginning."

The ominous aura was not from the full moon itself, but from the souls of the servants who had been defeated in the full moon ceremony and returned to the full moon.

That is the ownerless Lancer Cu Chulainn who was defeated by Manshu not long ago, and the Yingyue has absorbed his soul.

However, the absorbed soul should have appeared as colorless magic power, but now it has appeared in the Cup of the Waxing Moon as filth from the very beginning.

There is not much else to say about this ceremony other than that it was utterly phony.

Even the waxing moon cup does not look like a proper object, as the waning moon looks like two dark red hands intertwined to form the shape of a cup.

The talismans of Yin-Yang magic were pasted one after another on the place that served as the wall of the cup at that time, so that people would know who made them.

“Can this thing really work?”

Even Manshu couldn't help but ask himself out of curiosity, but he didn't need to rely on this thing to make a wish anyway, as long as it could play a role in this ceremony, it would be enough.

However, it seems that it is impossible to rely on the huge magic power in the Holy Grail to do whatever he wants like before. After all, there is only filth in the full moon, and the magic power required to make it usable is probably not much different from the amount of magic power that can be extracted.

Although he complained a little, it did not stop Manshu from reaching out and taking the cup in his hands.

After getting Yingyue, Manshu was not in a hurry to leave, but found Tsuchimikado Takatoshi again.

"I, who have already predetermined this victory, will keep this waxing moon until the end. Since you brothers are witnesses of a ceremony, tell the other servants and masters who are participating in this waxing moon ceremony as soon as possible.

Let them go and unite as much as they can, try their best to seize every bit of strength that they can use, and make every possible preparation.

Then come and challenge me with no chance of success, let me cut off their unnecessary desires and destroy all their hopes of victory.

Did you hear that? "

Manshu had already made up his mind and had no intention of slowly traveling throughout Edo to test the waters.

He planned to stay in Ueno and wait for the others to be ready and then attack together.

This would save him a lot of effort and also allow him to walk around the land freely and at his leisure.

It can also make the fun of this ceremony not so shallow and dull. At least when he is in charge of Ueno, even the sword of Ame Kusanagi cannot break Mansu's attack.

Even though they were weakened by Tezcatlipoca’s influence, they were only barely forced back.

What's more, at this moment, I am preparing to launch a challenge and continue to explore the world.

"Ah? Are you ready to make everyone your enemy?"

It is impossible that Tsuchimikado Takatoshi did not have some hatred towards Mansu in his heart, but when he heard these words, he forgot about this thing for a moment and asked in disbelief.

"If they are qualified to be my enemies, let them prove it first. In my opinion, apart from Saber in Asakusa, there is not even a decent one these days. It is really depressing.

This level of performance makes it difficult for me to find an opponent, so I'll just let them perform in front of me. At least I might have some fun, right?

Since you can understand what I am saying, please tell those Masters and Servants who crave the waxing moon that I will give them a short chance at the temple in Ueno."

After Manshu finished speaking, Bucephalus jumped up on the lightning as he wished, and disappeared from Tsuchimikado Takatoshi's sight by stepping on the air.

"What a crazy heroic spirit, Brother... Can you really still control the situation?"

Tsuchimikado Takatoshi murmured worriedly that this situation was far beyond his imagination and it was probably not what his brother expected.

One can only hope that the hidden tricks planted before the design of this ceremony will be useful. After all, this Full Moon Ceremony that took place in Edo was set up by Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro, and he still left himself some big hidden doors and loopholes.

However, without the Yingyue Instrument, whether the secret doors he left behind could be used normally is another matter.

What's more, even if it can be used, whether it can be effective on Manshu is another matter. At least it will be more difficult and more difficult to achieve.

After all, Manshu not only possesses extremely high divinity, but also has the ability to appear alone. It is still quite difficult to interfere with him.

At worst, he could just cut off all ties with the ritual. Manshu didn't need to rely on the magic power of the spiritual vein to sustain his existence anyway.

Manshu was still thinking about how to allow those masterless servants to leave the spiritual land and come to Ueno so that they can still exert their power.

Manshu has already seen servants with masters other than Caster, and among those six, besides Yamato Takeru, Assassin, Rider, and Archer are also pretty good.

But it doesn't look quite good enough, at least at first glance, it doesn't even look like it can pass the FA black square set.

Therefore, it was still necessary to make the situation more lively, so Manshu did not give up the search for Caster.
