Chapter 255

~8 min read 1,540 words

As time ticked by, Sieg was the first to feel anxious, but he didn't act rashly and was still waiting for Chiron's orders.

This was the highest unwavering trust in this sage.

Lancelot: "Although he is a novice, his mentality is still quite good."

Artoria: "Hmm, the more it is at a time like this, the more one needs to be able to keep calm."

Sieg and Mordred cooperated with each other, their storm-like slashes cutting the giant until it was covered in wounds, finally making the giant unable to help but Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a step back.

It was this step that made Jeanne realize the opportunity had come.

The Saint gathered all her strength and struck heavily on the opponent's sword, successfully causing the opponent to lose balance with her powerful force.

The timing had arrived.

Chiron's two arrows, which had been prepared long ago, were shot simultaneously; these two arrows, infused with all his magical energy, were aimed directly at the giant's feet.

The giant also understood that this moment was the critical time deciding his life and death, but having lost his balance, he was simply unable to block Chiron's arrows.

Thus, he made a surprising decision.

No, for him, it was a very reasonable decision.

The giant let his right foot be pierced, while his left hand quickly reached out, successfully blocking the arrow on the left.

I can't block two arrows, but blocking one is fine, right.

Anyway, the destroyed foot could be recovered in two moves.

Achilles: "That really is a beautiful countermeasure."

Waver: "Is this guy actually this smart? He even knows what his advantages are."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Avicebron really created an incredible work."

Rin Tohsaka: "Did it fail?"

The plan, did it fail?

No, if the giant looked closely, he could see the expression of a successful plan on Chiron's face.

"Caster, your giant indeed possesses the power to rewrite the world; perhaps it really can save the suffering people and lead them to paradise."

Chiron said faintly: "However, even you, who have obtained the light of wisdom, still miscalculated one point. That hero who evaporated his rationality is someone who would not be afraid even when facing gods."

"Boom!!!"

Instantly, the giant's left leg was attacked, and its huge body inexplicably floated up, falling in the air in an extremely unnatural posture, as if it were a joke.

In the giant's gradually forming thinking, an emotion called astonishment was produced.

That's right, he could hold his own even when facing the combined efforts of Jeanne and the four others, but he forgot one point, which was that there were five Heroic Spirits present.

"One touch and fall!"

"Alright, the rest is up to you, Master!"

That's right, the one who made the move was Astolfo, the Servant who had always been ignored by the giant. With his spear, which had a very comical effect, he successfully dealt the giant a fatal blow.

Clearly, it was just a blow comparable to a mosquito bite.

Waver: "I really didn't expect that in the end, it was Astolfo who resolved the crisis."

Rin Tohsaka: "Don't mention that giant golem; because he didn't join the battle, I even forgot about Astolfo."

The moment the giant floated, the blessing from the earth was severed, and the final opportunity had arrived.

Mordred and Sieg rushed out together, simultaneously unleashing their respective Noble Phantasms.

"In the end, you are just an artificial life form."

In this instant, Sieg felt that this giant was very pitiful.

His purpose, his actions, were not formed according to his own will, but were bestowed upon him by Avicebron.

Not to mention his own thoughts, even with this purpose as the center, he seemed unable to perform various kinds of thinking.

He had walked one step faster than this giant, not to act for a bestowed purpose, but to cherish the hope that had been created with such difficulty.

What he held was a noble wish that he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for.

Saving companions, that was a wish so simple it was shocking, bright and cheerful.

Because those people gave him strength, allowing him to possess the power to save those homunculi that he couldn't save no matter what before.

Therefore, he absolutely could not lose.

"Phantasm Great Sword, Fallen Heavenly Demon!"

"Clarent Blood Arthur!"

The two Sabers' movements were surprisingly consistent, landing on the giant together, simultaneously piercing the opponent's heart and head.

From Jeanne waving her holy flag to the end of all this, it was no more than three seconds.

The golem collapsed, the surrounding trees began to wither, the ground was no longer a paradise, and the "primordial human" that should have been immortal slowly turned into a corpse.

"We got him!"

Seeing this scene, the mages in the castle finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Waver: "It was finally resolved."

Kayneth: "Hmph, this was actually within expectations."

Rin Tohsaka: "This battle should be over now, right? No other enemies will pop up, will they?"

Waver: "Probably not; after all, they fought for so long in the video, it's almost dawn."

Sieg returned to his original state, and the exhaustion and pain surged again; if Jeanne hadn't supported him in time, he would probably have collapsed on the ground.

Jeanne: "That, Sieg, are you not injured?"

"What a worrying person."

Although he thought so in his heart, Sieg still replied: "Although a little pain remains, that's about it."

Confirming that Sieg was really fine, Jeanne knelt on her knees, clasped her hands, and began to pray to the gradually disappearing giant.

Whether this was a requiem for the Black faction's Caster, a requiem for the Jewel Jewel Mage who became the furnace core, or a requiem for the fetus (golem) that was born but not allowed to have its own meaning, Sieg did not know. It was just that Jeanne in prayer was truly very beautiful.

Gilles de Rais: "Ah! My beloved Saint! Your appearance in prayer is still so holy and beautiful!"

Rin Tohsaka: "This guy is at it again."

"Ruler, my Master said he wants to talk to you."

Chiron walked over and said: "Also, Red faction's Saber, you too."

Mordred: "Just talking is fine, but I refuse to cooperate."

Chiron: "I don't mind that, but for now, we should share some intelligence. I think you and your Master don't have a complete grasp of what happened in the Hanging Gardens either."

Mordred clicked her tongue, discussed it with Shishigou via telepathy, and said: "OK, right, right, he said don't forget to pay him the reward within today."

Jeanne, who had finished praying, stood up and nodded.

And Shishigou seemed to have been watching the battle from a very close distance, arriving in front of everyone in less than five minutes.

Shishigou: "Oh, Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia, we just met yesterday."

Facing Shishigou, who raised his hand to greet her, the girl tried her best to respond with an indifferent attitude, but her expression appeared a bit stiff.

In this regard, she was not as open-minded as Shishigou, who was a mercenary.

"I am also very surprised by this unexpected reunion in such an accidental situation."

Shishigou: "Don't say that; this Holy Grail War entered its second stage the moment the Greater Grail was forcibly taken away. You and I are no longer enemies."

Fiore: "Temporarily, right."

Shishigou: "Yeah, temporarily. Hehe..."

The battle that had twists and turns all night finally ended at this moment.

As for the Hanging Gardens, they had flown away as soon as the giant appeared.

Video ends here.

Waver: "It's finally over; this battle really had twists and turns."

Rin Tohsaka: "The Red faction really won big in this battle."

Shishigou Kairi: "Cooperating with the Black faction? That is indeed the best choice for me in the video."

Waver: "However, even if you join forces, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defeat the opponent."

Shishigou Kairi: "Yeah, not to mention anything else, Karna alone is the biggest obstacle."

【First question over, now starting the second question.】

【This question is a multiple-buzz-in quiz; questions will be asked at irregular intervals in the video, each answering time is 3 minutes, and all group members can buzz in.】

【Answering correctly earns 3 Saint Quartz, answering incorrectly deducts 1 Saint Quartz; if no one answers within the time, it counts as void.】

【Please pay attention to the video.】

Rin Tohsaka: "The second question has also changed."

Shishigou Kairi: "This question should be a continuation of yesterday, telling the story of when Waver and that little girl named Gray first met."

Artoria: "Gray..."

Perhaps today's quiz could solve the guesses and doubts she had always had.

【Video starts.】

That was when they were about to enter the height of summer.

Waver found Reines and expressed that he wanted to go on a trip to Wales for about a week.

His original intention was that he hoped Reines would help him handle some work during his trip, and then... Reines went on the road with him.

However, don't worry, Reines had finished the work in advance, and the remaining chores were entrusted to the old Mr. Charles.

Thus, the pleasant trip began.
