The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

Manshu took a few minutes to take a detour to the side, while observing who the enemy was.

Although there are some Servants in the Lostbelt that he is not familiar with or does not understand, there should still be some that he can recognize.

Although such a reaction would not be normal, at least being able to get some information can put oneself on the advantageous side.

"Sigurd?"

Uncle Man recognized the other person's identity at a glance. He was one of the strongest heroes in Northern Europe, the protagonist of "Volsung Saga", Sigurd, who was known as the Warrior King.

The opponent is indeed an extraordinary hero, and even among the top-level servants, he is undoubtedly at the top.

But his current condition was clearly not right. Although Sigurd had obtained the dragon's magic furnace core by swallowing the dragon's heart, it was impossible for him to possess such a huge amount of magic power.

"Is it the enhancement obtained from the Lostbelt? Yes. But the opponent doesn't have weaknesses like Siegfried."

Although he knew the other party's identity, he was not a servant with obvious weaknesses. However, at least there was some information gap, which could be considered an advantage.

Faced with such a powerful warrior, Manshu did not intend to be polite. Since he had a basic understanding of the other party's skills and treasures, there was no need to make any tests.

"Sigurd, son of Siegmund! The hero who slew the dragon to gain wisdom and crossed the flames to save the Valkyrie! Come and welcome the dragon's breath and cross the flames! Gorinich, go!"

Manshu lifted the concealing effect of Amon, raised the trident in his hand and shouted loudly.

The three-headed dragon Golinich appeared at his voice, and triple dragon breath immediately rushed towards Sigurd.

"A Heroic Spirit. But it's not a pure Heroic Spirit, but a mixed bag with unnecessary things. Interesting."

Sigurd turned around and saw Manshu, and at the same time he also saw clearly his spiritual composition.

It was undoubtedly the components of multiple servants mixed together, but it had no effect on the normal formation of Manshu's spiritual base at the moment.

The breath of the evil dragon was not something to be feared by Sigurd. He did not even make any unnecessary movements, but simply swung the magic sword in his hand that emitted an ominous light.

The name of the magic sword is Gram, which was the sun magic sword that the great god Odin inserted into a tree in the past and gave to his father Sigmund.

He attached a huge amount of magic power to the sword and swung it out in the form of magic power. The huge flame wave directly cut off the breath of the evil dragon triple.

"Oh, since you have such a huge amount of magic power, the attack displayed in the form of magic power release has reached the anti-military level?"

When Manshu saw that the three-headed dragon's breath was cut off by the opponent's sword, he did not continue to activate the pursuit effect of the treasure, but retreated to the side.

It is really not easy to deal with an opponent with such huge amount of magic power.

"After you have discovered my identity and witnessed my power, are you ready to run away with all your strength? This is the choice a rational person should make."

Seeing that Manshu had stopped, Sigurd said indifferently.

"What are you doing here? I was just thinking about how much strength I should use so as not to humiliate you and knock you down. It seems that you, who swallowed the heart of a dragon and gained wisdom, your red and annoying eyes are not so useful."

Now Manshu is not very clear about what is going on with Sigurd's eyes. He can't even remember the color of Sigurd's eyes, but in his impression, the effect of Sigurd's wisdom is presented as glasses.

So Manshu just thought that the red light in Sigurd's eyes at this moment was the result of his wisdom.

"But if you are willing to give way and not block the direction of our journey, I can let you go."

The trash talk before the battle was done casually, and Sigurd didn't look like the kind of person who would be easily taunted and affected in his mentality.

"Do you want me to let you go? Unfortunately, I am also moving forward for my own purpose and you have something I need, so I must kill you and plunder it from you."

Chapter 23 Twists and Turns

"It seems that you seem to think that I am joking? It seems that the wisdom of the dragon is indeed useless."

As Manshu said this, he began to look at Sigurd again. The feeling he gave seemed a little different from the impression he had of the great Nordic hero.

"But since you misunderstood, I'll say it again. If you retreat now, I can still leave you a chance to survive, Sigurd!"

"Oh? A mixed bag, can't you understand the difference in strength?"

Sigurd just looked at him with disdain, but seemed to have noticed something and still assumed a fighting stance.

"But since you dare to make such a boast, then tell me your name. That's what so-called human heroes usually do."

"It suddenly makes sense. Since we are in Northern Europe, there is no need to use the name Volga. You can call me Halfdan, or Gram. That's it, my name is Halfdan Gram."

Since the other party asked the question sincerely, and at least looked like he was planning a serious fight, there was still no need to respond.

When it was mentioned before, Manshu also wanted to change the name, but there are many names that can be used for the land in Northern Europe.

Manshu originally planned to call himself Siegfried. He was quite impressed by the magic sword that emitted the dusk-colored sword aura. He had also wielded that sword, and the other party was not someone who would mind such a thing.

Now that we have met Sigurd, it is obviously better to give up this option.

In this case, let's give it a name that has a bigger position but is less famous. It should not be searchable in Japanese and it should not be likely to match the person himself.

Halfdan, this name is not too uncommon in Nordic legends. Even the story of Beowulf mentions Halfdan's name.

But what Mansu was talking about was a king even older than that. The Germans regarded him as Manus, the grandson of the supreme god Ers, who was the ancestor king revered by all the Germanic tribes.

In Teutonic mythology, he is described as the son of Thor, the god of thunder, and the ancestor of heroes who conquered all of Northern Europe. His father, Bogar, who adopted him in the human world, is one of the original ancestors of the Teutons.

Halfdan's most famous deed was the Winter War, when two female giants turned the World Mill to disrupt the order of the universe and the Frost Giants invaded the territory of the gods.

Halfdan led his army to drive the Frost Giants out of Midgard, and the light of his fighting even illuminated the entire Asgard.

But it was also in this battle that Halfdan abducted Ofander's wife Gloria and released their child Svipdag.

The final story is that Svipdag, holding the Sword of Victory, smashed Thor's war hammer and defeated Halfdan.

But in fact most of Halfdan's legends cannot be regarded as true, because Halfdan himself is of the same nature as Svipdag, the hero who defeated him.

It is a re-compilation of the Danish mythology compiled by later generations after sorting out the stories before the Nordic times.

Therefore, this is not a story that appears in the Edda or the Saga, or perhaps it is just a name that existed and was adopted by later generations to recreate the story.

"I heard it, but I will soon forget it."

Sigurd simply imitated the hero's actions and asked for his opponent's name, showing no interest in what the other party wanted.

"It doesn't matter. You will be returning to the Throne of Heroes soon anyway. You probably won't be interested in reading about your shameful defeat. So there's no point in memorizing this name now."

"Inflated, conceited, arrogant, complacent. Humans always remain the same, huh, just like the gods."

Sigurd's words seemed to be placed in another perspective from the beginning, as if he was not a human being.

Is it the same situation as the Storm King? Manshu thought to himself.

Sigurd originally possessed an extremely rich divinity. As the offspring of the great god Odin, his divinity would never be low unless it was stripped away like Brunhilde's.

Therefore, Manshu could not judge whether the other party's spiritual base had undergone any qualitative changes, but if it was like the Storm King, it could fully explain the incredible and huge magical power in his body at the moment.

Besides, it is not strange for such a thing to happen in this Lostbelt. Didn’t Ivan the Terrible transform into a divine beast after hundreds of years of growth?

"It seems that you are full of dissatisfaction with the gods. Since I have given you this name, let's protect the gods here a little. What should I call? Should I ask for my father's thunder hammer?"

Although Manshu said this with a smile and his tone seemed to be a joke, lightning did jump out from his hands.

It's just that it's not Thor's lightning, but the power of Shiva's trident.

Manshu waved the trident in his hand and rushed forward to kill. He planned to wait and see if he could change his spiritual base and put on some Nordic things to make the painting look more appropriate.

Although he was swinging a trident, it was lightning that was falling, so it looked like there was nothing wrong with it.

"The one holding the trident! Use your divine power to slay the dark demon in mid-air. I call on you to display the supreme divine authority."

Manjushri did not know much about Shiva, and could not think of many words at the moment, so he randomly modified the hymn of Indra and used it as the words to praise Lord Shiva.

Anyway, it doesn't make much difference. He's not the only one who did this. Others have done it too.

The magic power that was stimulated was used to demonstrate the power of the trident. The power of the great god immediately blessed the weapon in Manshu's hand. He swung it and stabbed Sigurd, trying to defeat him.

"It's really surprising that he is actually a qualified warrior, but his existence is pathetic. This is meaningless." 2

Sigurd swung the magic sword Gram in his hand again. This simple method of releasing magic power was enough to make the magic sword he swung unstoppable.

At least at this moment, Chaldea probably has no way to stop the Warrior King from moving forward. If they just sit there and wait for death like they did just now, their journey will probably stop here.

The trident swung by Mansu collided with the sword, causing a violent wave of magical power to erupt.

"How can it be……"

The moment the two weapons collided, Mansu felt a terrifying force transmitted along his weapon, causing him to retreat again and again.

This matter was a bit too shocking. Not to mention that Manshu himself was enjoying an improvement in his abilities under the sun, he also possessed A+ level strength.

Apart from those monsters and the Earth Mother who are famous for their strength, I would actually lose in the confrontation of strength.

Manshu even began to doubt whether the information he had learned about Sigurd was wrong or whether it was rune magic.

Just at this moment, a beam of light shone from behind Manshu. It was not hostile and was not aimed at Manshu.

That was the attack launched by Holmes using his own suit. It seemed that he had also come from the submarine and chosen to join the battlefield to assist Manshu.

"This is a rather unnecessary action, Detective."

Manshu did not show any joy at the sudden arrival of reinforcements, but rather doubted whether Holmes could participate in their battle.

Holmes is not a Servant with outstanding combat power. At least for the battlefield here, if he is just a first-rate Servant, I am afraid he will not be able to intervene in most cases.

Sigurd's sword is extremely heavy, yet swift and sharp. An ordinary Servant would probably be chopped into pieces in just a few moves with such an attack.

"He's in the way."

Sigurd didn't seem to like the intruder, and he actually activated the magic sword in his hand.

The magic sword was filled with magical light, and Holmes was in the direction of the submarine.

Once Sigurd's magic sword is released, Holmes will be in trouble, and the submarine will probably be in danger.

But it seemed that Holmes' skills were still in effect, allowing him to keenly observe the changes in magic power and run over quickly.

"As a Heroic Spirit, I am better at melee combat. Let me stop your magic sword from activating! Barujutsu!"

Holmes prepared to use his famous martial arts to interrupt Sigurd's release of his magic sword Gram, but his fighting ability was probably meaningless compared to the truly top-level servants.

Even a top swordsman like Yagyu Munenori could only sigh in despair when faced with the fights between heroes in the Age of Gods, believing that he could not intervene.

And his opponent is undoubtedly one of the top heroes in the Age of Gods, and Sigurd is even more powerful than in his normal state.

But at least he did achieve his goal. Gram's magic activation was canceled, and instead Sigurd raised his sword and swung it.

"Shut up."

With just a simple swing, Holmes' outstretched right arm was cut off, and he fell to the ground in the snow.

"I told you that you shouldn't interfere..."

Manshu was speechless when he saw the series of farces staged by Sherlock Holmes, and even began to suspect whether he was a spy of the enemy.

But at least the other party is on his side now, and he can't just stand by and watch him die.

Mansu did not stop, but immediately rushed forward with the trident in his hand, shouting hymns.

As Manshu swung the trident at all costs, Sigurd was actually forced to retreat.

Manshu quickly grabbed Holmes and pulled him aside without taking any further action.

Sigurd seemed to have no interest in continuing the fight here, and turned around and headed towards the submarine.

"You really do have some vitality. You didn't die after being hit by that guy's sword."

Although Holmes' breath seemed weak and his spiritual foundation was not very stable, he was indeed not dead.

"Fortunately, there is water everywhere in this icy place. I prayed to the goddess Isis to scoop up the abundance of the Nile to heal your death."

Manshu was used to using this method to heal people. He imitated Finn's skills and scooped up water with his hands to feed people.

"Just catch up with him and leave me here alone."

Holmes urged as soon as he could speak.

"You are not in very good condition. Sigurd is indeed a warrior who learned the original rune from the Valkyrie. He actually released runes on you while swinging his sword."

It was only after capturing Holmes that Manshu discovered this. A magic trick was cast on Holmes' injuries, which was the original rune.

It seems that the effect should be to destroy Holmes' vitality, but the current situation is a stalemate with Holmes, and it will take some time to resolve it.

After all, Manshu is not a professional Caster. If he had some knowledge of Rune, he might be able to remove it easily.

After all, there is still a certain gap between knowledge and actual operation. I have even forgotten when was the last time I performed the magic of summoning Rune.

"My heart and brain are fine, and my spirit core has not been severed. I am not dead yet, so just ignore me and go after him."

"Then you can rest here first."

Mansu was not in a position to blame the other person for his disabled appearance, so he just put him down and prepared to chase Sigurd.
