Chapter 47: The Man Behind the Scenes
The vanity of its master, the courtyard of the sky sank like a dead one, until it was completely crushed against the original city of Mirenia.
However, this upheaval will not affect what has already happened.
The Great Chalice was stripped away and completely fixed to the bottom of the courtyard, making it possible for anyone to get up close and personal with this miraculous being.
Amakusa Shiro stands in front of the Great Holy Grail with the corpse of a vampire at his feet.
The corpse of Vlad III, or rather the corpse of Danic.
The Legacy of Blood, Vlad III's second treasure, is designed to transform him into an abominable vampire, difficult to die and extremely powerful, but when he encounters Shiro Amakusa from the Templar Church, who is good at fighting evil, he becomes a disadvantage.
In addition, half of the vampires are the head of the Thousand Worlds Tree Family, Darnick, and the acquaintance of Shiro Amakusa, the two sides once confronted each other sixty years ago, and they know each other, which makes this battle even more suspenseful.
So, it was supposed to be Darnick as the mastermind behind the scenes, and with his death, Amakusa Shiro took over his role and became the mastermind behind the scenes.
Facing the glittering and reachable Great Holy Grail, Amakusa Shiro will soon realize that great and noble dream.
"But... How did the Assassin suddenly die? Amakusa Shiro sensed that his connection with the servant had been suddenly severed, and with gloom, he remembered the girl who had helped him so much in the early stages of the Holy Grail War, "Don't you still want to see the Great Holy Grail for yourself, and want to get the third magic?" β
However, he was unable to trace the cause of the Assassin's death, and his memory only revealed a vague clue about Black's Assassin, a mysterious third party.
The next moment, the girl with the holy flag in her hand came to the main hall, followed by several servants who had been temporarily summoned by her using the twenty-eight spells in her hand to crusade against the non-human and non-heroic Vlad III.
Seeing the body of Vlad III, they knew that the matter was settled.
Joan of Arc stood there, and when she saw the young man standing in front of the Great Grail, dressed in priestly robes, with a soft smile at them, she couldn't help but exclaimβ
"How so!"
It was through her real name that she learned the truth of the matter, she was so surprised, everything was so incredible, but it was really in front of her, especially when she saw that the young man facing her with such a calm attitude that she didn't want to hide at all, which made her even more convinced.
"First meeting... This time the ruler. Amakusa Shiro said hello.
"You're... Sixteenth servant? Joan of Arc shouted excitedly.
When the rest of the servants heard this, even Atalanta, who was usually calm and composed, could not hide the shock in their hearts.
"To be exact, I'm the number one."
Atalanta vaguely sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What exactly did you do to our master?" β
"Do you say them? I made them peacefully surrender their power and command as masters. Amakusa Shiro calmly raised his hand, and if he looked closely, he would see that there was a spell with a full eighteen strokes on it.
Everyone gasped when they saw this surprised sight, and the spells of Red Archer, Red Lancer, Red Rider, Red Berserker, Red Caster, and Red Assassin were all concentrated on one person.
Joan of Arc had already anxiously asked, "Could it be that you are the one God warned me of in that crisis?" Ruler of the Third Holy Grail War, what is the purpose of you controlling so many servants in your hands and robbing the Great Holy Grail? β
"-Shiro Amakusa!"
When everyone heard the words of the ruler of the Third Holy Grail War, and heard the true name of this heroic spirit, they were stunned, it was actually the ruler of sixty years ago, why did he still exist in this world, and what kind of conspiracy did he have when he joined this Holy Grail War?
"I don't have any conspiracy, I've been following God's guidance." Amakusa Shiro replied, "Maybe there was some kind of misunderstanding." β
"But, Miss Joan of Arc, since you have asked, of course I will tell you, and the answer is the relief of all mankind."
The two sides confronted each other.
A girl who wants to save the world.
A teenager who wants to save the world.
"This can't be done, if it's a person, a city, maybe it's possible, to the level of all mankind, there's no such thing." Joan of Arc categorically vetoed.
"The way the Grail fulfills its wish is to reach the path, skip the steps, and reach the result directly, in other words, if I knew the way to help all mankind, then it would have succeeded."
In the face of the young man's firm words, whether it was Joan of Arc, the rest of the servants who came with him were not willing to believe that such a thing had never happened in the history of mankind, why, with a great holy grail could do it.
"Anyway, it's a Holy Grail War, but the confrontation between the Magic Association and the Thousand Worlds Tree Family is over, and it's you and me in the end. Joan of Arc, you should understand that the battle is inevitable, and now that you are not ready, do you intend to destroy me now? Amakusa Shiro asked softly.
Zhende choked, she couldn't answer, she asked herself, was she ready to fight him? With only the servants who are mostly red around them? For the other party who also has the spell, they are uncertain and may defect at any time.
"yes, you should get the idea. In addition, I have to tell you the news that my assassins are gone, killed by a third party, and their intentions are lurking, and perhaps you are being warned about them. β
"What! A third party? When Joan of Arc heard the news, she was stunned again, but if she thought about it, especially after the start of the all-out war between Red and Black, there were indeed many things that she did not expect, you must know that as a ruler, she has a real name to see through, and she has the most thorough understanding of the situation of the Holy Grail War, and as a result, there is a third party that she is completely unaware of.
"A third party?" Atalanta vaguely recalled the scene of the battle with Big Illya and Xiao Hei just now, and the fight was a complete draw, then, if the other party is not a servant, the result is undoubtedly a magician, what kind of force is the magician, and what force has a magician who can face the servant?
Joan of Arc quickly zeroed in on Black's Assassin, who had not yet fully mastered the information, and perhaps it was time to investigate it again in this direction.
Amakusa Shiro saw that Joan of Arc was really convinced, which means that the goal was successful, and now that the Great Holy Grail has been held by him, as long as he buys time, he can do it himself and achieve his wish.
"Lancer, Archer, Rider, let's say goodbye to Ruler first."
After saying this, several servants belonging to the red side hesitated for a moment, but still stood behind Amakusa Shiro and protected him.
He watched Joan of Arc leave, and stood there, "With the red caster who is hiding, and the black caster who betrays, even if the assassin leaves, we still maintain the advantage." β
"The only pity - the Vanity Courtyard in the Sky can no longer fly, and has to merge with the Myrenia Fortress as my current base camp, which means that everyone can know about my movements at any time, attack us at any time, harass us, and can't delay it for too long, otherwise even the Magic Association will intervene."
"Fortunately, there are more third-party forces, which is estimated to have diverted many people's attention to them, since they can kill the assassin silently, whether it means that their strength is strong, I'm afraid we have to investigate more."
Amakusa Shiro pondered deeply, saw Atalanta's lips squirm not far away, and asked gently, "Archer, I see what you want to say, is there any important information?" β
Atalanta nodded: "Regarding the third forces, I think I already know their identities, one of them is Black's assassin, a very young child, not the nineteen Hassan who are most common in the previous Holy Grail Wars, but a completely unfamiliar Heroic Spirit. β
"There are two other children that I have fought with, one of them is a powerful magician with an amazing magic circuit, and the other is somewhat similar to the Heroic Spirit, but not a servant of the Holy Grail War."
"Two children that even Archer recognizes? In this way, the third-party forces should not be underestimated. "Amakusa Shiro further pieced together the information of the third-party forces through the information provided by Archer.
"The last is a teenager, whose identity is still a magician, and the type of magic he has mastered is unknown."
"Teenager?" Amakusa Shiro waved his hand, "Well, that's enough, let's investigate the hall where the assassin died, maybe there is a way to find clues from it, and besides, the previous ruler already knows about the existence of a third-party force, so while she investigates, let's find a way to share some information." β
"However, the most important thing is the Holy Grail War itself, and don't forget, this is the reason for our efforts," he ordered. β
