This area also features harbor facilities and serves to separate the western industrial zone from the new capital.
As soon as night falls, the place is deserted, and the scattered street lights try in vain to illuminate the asphalt road, making the landscape seem even more desolate.
The fossil-like era of heavy industry.
These things were also common in Fujimaru Ritsuka's time.
But it has already undergone many innovations and upgrades.
However, right there in this deserted warehouse, the two Servants confronted each other.
One of them wielded an invisible sword, her blue battle dress adorned with silver armor, while the other held twin pistols, possessed handsome features, and had a beauty mark that could bewitch women.
Altria Pendragon.
And Dirumdo Audina.
Two Heroic Spirits from different eras battle on the outskirts of a country in the far east.
The two Servants did not exchange names, but instead directly identified their class and engaged in a fierce battle.
However, judging from the situation, Saber is bound to have the upper hand.
If Artoria were to go all out, Diarmuid would probably have no chance of winning. After all, in a normal Holy Grail War, what truly determines victory or defeat is the Noble Phantasm.
Who really wins by hand-to-hand combat? In the end, they just randomly throw light cannons and cause gas explosions.
Speaking of gas explosions...
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized that, according to Laplace's records, the place with the most gas explosions in the world was Fuyuki City, Japan—could it really be the reason for the Holy Grail War?
At the scene of Saber and Lancer's battle, Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed something.
She squinted at the red arched bridge that had just been standing there. Although the other party had concealed its aura, the divine lightning magic contained within it was still as dazzling as the sun.
Iskandar the Conqueror.
A little further away, someone had set up a barrier, presumably to hide themselves and prevent their location from being revealed.
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat quietly atop the boom crane on the dark dock.
The crane is about thirty meters tall, which is only about half the height of Fujimaru Ritsuka's light form.
She continued to observe the situation, waiting for the Servants to arrive before frying the fish... and began to plan.
Minimize casualties among the Servants to prevent the release of "All Evil at This Moment." Then, find a way to destroy the Greater Grail.
This singularity can then be resolved.
at this time...
A figure appeared behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Hassan was a woman with purple hair, a fit and slender figure, and an undeniable beauty.
The main personality of Hassan the Hundred Faces.
I'd say it's quite pretty.
"It's you... Chaldea's Master?"
Bai Mao's voice carried a hint of bitterness: "Why did you appear in this era?"
"Hey, long time no see, Bai Mao. You still have memories from the Singularity?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise.
"Heroic Spirits are beings that transcend time, so it's only natural that I occasionally have memories from other eras... However, since I have memories from that era, does that mean—this place has become a singularity?"
"Ah."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "You guessed right."
"What's the specific reason? Do you need any assistance?"
Need assistance?
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Hyakko Hassan in disbelief, only to see that the other man had taken off his mask and sat down just as leisurely.
"how--?"
Hassan raised an eyebrow: "What are you trying to say?"
"Do not..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head seriously.
"I just find it strange that someone like Bai Mao would actually offer to help others..."
"Shut up, you idiot! I'm just repaying you for saving the mountain people and that era."
Bai Mao is a bit arrogant.
However, this kind of personality is quite endearing.
"Phew... It's great that it's someone I know, Bai Mao."
Fujimaru Ritsuka clapped her hands: "But I do have a favor to ask you."
"What's the deal?"
"Let me think... Hyakko, are you loyal to your Master? If you are, then so be it. If not—then help me betray Kirei Kotomine... After all, I possess the blood of a True Ancestor. If the Church finds out, it will cause a huge uproar."
“Those guys won’t let a True Ancestor royal family member, who’s like a ticking time bomb, run around freely. Getting involved with them would be a real problem.”
A Hundred Appearances:
"If you feel guilty, then forget it."
"That's true to some extent. But he is, after all, a self-disciplined clergyman... to betray him like this..."
"Then I won't force Bai Mao..."
"I'll do..."
Suddenly, Bai Mao Hassan said seriously:
“The Chaldea Master who is saving humanity must have made a meaningful decision.”
Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her mouth.
A chill suddenly welled up in my heart that I had never even noticed before.
If one day I really do something bad...
Would a heroic spirit like Hyakko also support someone without asking why?
this...
It feels a bit scary.
But thinking about it...
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't think she would do anything bad.
Chapter 226 The Holy Grail War encounters the True Ancestor, whose environmental control is as strong as a monster; even with all efforts, victory is impossible.
"It's no use, Lancer."
The power of the Wind King's barrier continued to spread.
Artoria had a clear advantage over Diarmuid.
This might be due to Saber's inherent strength...
"Hmph—While your martial arts are indeed extraordinary, it's too early to draw conclusions."
Dirum said somewhat indignantly.
His opponent's stats in terms of strength, stamina, and mana supply were indeed superior, but the outcome of a battle cannot be determined solely by stats on paper.
A battle must also take into account the current situation, the Master's support, and the degree of luck.
If the yellow spear could hit the opponent, it might turn the tide of the battle. Even in this situation, Diarmuid is not entirely without a chance of winning.
The opponent should be a Servant with powerful stats and a Noble Phantasm that is monstrous, but even so, there is still a possibility of defeating them.
Saber was in a highly excited state, and at the same time, both sides unleashed powerful forces, with the invisible sword and the dual pistols clashing at high speed.
Soon, during the clash, the Wind King's Barrier on Saber's longsword was broken in an instant, and the dazzling light made Diarmuid's eyes light up.
He seems to have discovered Saber's true identity.
Leading the British people in resistance against foreign invasion, the ideal king of knights, as long as one sits on the Throne of Heroes, no one would be unaware of that famous holy sword.
"I see. It is truly an honor to be able to fight against that Knight King."
His cells and magic surged, and as a warrior race, Diarmuid was equally delighted by the powerful.
"And so you. A knight with twin pistols and a beauty mark under his eye, you must be a member of the Fiona Knights, [Radiant Face] Diarmuid Ua Duibhne."
The two knightly spirits shared a similar fighting spirit, so they both understood each other.
The key to victory or defeat lies in a single moment of constant clash.
【Magic Release】
Artoria's body shimmered with a deep blue light, accompanied by the radiance of the wind. The invisible holy sword whipped up a violent gust of wind and smashed towards Diarmuid like an iron hammer.
【Wind King's Hammer】!
"It's over, Lancer!"
Saber's sword was sharp and her magical pressure was terrifying, especially since her Master was the highly accomplished Einzbern Irisviel... This attack seemed to guarantee victory!
“——So fast!”
The power of the red dragon erupted, and even a hero like Diarmuid couldn't help but feel a chill.
He swung his spear at high speed, calmly facing the powerful attack, seemingly trying to use his twin spears to break through the Wind King's fatal blow!
However, at this crucial moment—
The overwhelming and intense pressure was instantly interrupted by a sudden, deafening roar!
Lancer and Saber both turned to look in the southeast direction at the same time...
From the source of the loud noise, a chariot was rushing towards the depths of the night sky, where purple lightning flashed!
That's right!
These are military chariots specifically designed for combat in classical times!
However, what was tied to the ruts were not warhorses, but two extremely strong and muscular bulls. The bulls' iron hooves pounded the air as they pulled the magnificent chariot as it galloped towards them.
"A third Servant has appeared to intervene in the battle between Saber and Lancer."
Standing atop the suspension bridge, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked out and saw that the powerful lightning energy clearly carried divine attributes... and the spirit origin he was looking at was quite familiar to him; it was none other than Alexander III, the Conqueror King, Iskandar, whom he had encountered in the Second Singularity.
but...
"That guy must have grown up eating eggs! How did he go from a handsome young man to that ugly thing? And, let's just stop making the oxen pull him, and make them pull the oxen instead..."
"Isn't this even stronger than a divine ox?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the suddenly appearing red-haired giant and couldn't help but secretly complain.
The Conqueror King calmly and loudly proclaimed, "Both of you lay down your weapons!"
"My name is Iskandar, the Conqueror, and I appear in this Holy Grail War as a Rider."
"Aren't you an idiot?! What are you thinking?!"
On the chariot, a young man as thin as a bamboo pole was covering his head in frustration.
He came up and revealed his real name. What kind of idiot would do something so outrageous...? No, wait, if it was that Conqueror King, maybe it really would be—
Hassan the Hundred-Faced: "So he's an idiot, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement: "That's right."
During the Second Singularity, this guy's child form came to fight Nero for one reason only: to understand Nero's path to kingship.
It was around that time that the Second Lord appeared as a pseudo-Servant.
"However, even idiots have their ideals. In the end, I'm just an idiot myself... Satie, we can begin once the last guest arrives."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, hidden in black, stared intently at the warehouse district below with her scarlet eyes... and, um?
