Chapter 836: From the Fourth to the Fifth Holy Grail War in an Instant!
Chapter 836: From the Fourth to the Fifth Holy Grail War in an Instant!
The Evil of This World seemed to possess a life of its own, defending the Greater Holy Grail, which was something Yecheng had not anticipated.
Whether the Evil of This World had developed consciousness or if the Greater Holy Grail itself had some defense mechanism was unclear.
In any case, Yecheng's attack, hindered by the Evil of This World, failed to directly destroy the Holy Grail and merely sent it into the rift of the void.
As the Greater Holy Grail was about to escape into the void, Yecheng, in a panic, drew his sword and charged into the void without a second thought.
Meanwhile, Saber and Medea, who had been about to speak up to stop him, reached out their hands in an attempt to restrain him. However, to their astonishment, one of them found herself back in the Elysian Paradise, while the other returned to Blade Barricade Hill!
Looking around at their surroundings, they realized they had been forcibly sent back to their respective eras.
The Greater Holy Grail's escape signified the end of the Holy Grail War. It was evident that Yecheng's final attempt to destroy the Holy Grail had failed, leading to unforeseen consequences they knew nothing about.
Saber gazed upon Blade Barricade Hill, littered with corpses and broken swords, her face filled with regret. She had come so close, yet ultimately failed.
If Saber felt such regret, then Medea, back in the Elysian Paradise, was even more distraught!
The Elysian Paradise, a place of "utopia and pure land," originated from Greek mythology. It was located beyond the Acheron River, on the other side of the Lethe River, in an infinite field where only those chosen by the gods after death were allowed to enter.
According to legend, Medea, on the night of Jason's wedding, killed his new bride and her own two children. Her cruelty and obsession led to her becoming a witch.
Jason, heartbroken, met a tragic end, but Medea faced no consequences for her actions.
Instead, she achieved immortality through her magical research and eventually entered the pure land as a soul.
The Elysian Paradise was indeed beautiful, free from the worries of the mortal world. Medea had been studying her magic here until she was summoned by the Holy Grail.
However, Medea's heart was now filled with intense regret. The happiness she craved most was within her grasp, just one step away, yet she failed to seize it!
The days she spent with Yecheng during the Holy Grail War were the happiest of her life, even surpassing her time as a princess.
But now, it all seemed like a shattered dream, making it hard for her to accept this reality.
"No, I can't give up. I still have hope! Since the Greater Holy Grail remains intact, according to the Holy Grail's mechanism, a new round of the Holy Grail War will eventually begin again!
As long as I can be summoned again, this time, no matter what damage the Greater Holy Grail causes, I will never let go!"
As Medea looked up at the sky, Saber, standing on Blade Barricade Hill, did the same.
"In the next Holy Grail War, I will definitely fulfill my wish!" x2
On the other side, Yecheng, who had followed the Holy Grail through the void wormhole, ultimately failed to catch up with the fleeing Greater Holy Grail.
However, when he came to his senses, he realized that the place he had arrived at through the wormhole was still Yuan Cang Mountain and Fuyuki City!
Yecheng wanted to turn back, but the wormhole behind him had already disappeared.
At first, he thought he was in an illusion, but after examining his surroundings and flying over Fuyuki City, he noticed differences between this Fuyuki City and the one he had been in before."
First, let's take the example of Rinkozan. Because of the Holy Grail's descent, 'The Evil of This World' should have caused a forest fire, burning the surroundings into a wasteland.
However, the Rinkozan he currently resides in, while indeed desolate, is not as barren as it should be, as vegetation has grown considerably.
Moreover, the buildings at the foot of the mountain that were previously swallowed by 'The Evil of This World' have now risen from the ground once more.
Even the overall atmosphere of Fuyuki City seems to have changed significantly, giving off a different vibe from Yecheng.
If he had to put it into words, it would be that the technological level seems to have advanced considerably compared to before!
It should be noted that the Fuyuki City he was previously in was merely a remote city, affluent but not developed.
But now, as he walks through the streets, he notices numerous large advertisements, more high-rise buildings, and even the pedestrians on the road appear more fashionable than before.
Seeing the scene before him, Yecheng, who already had some suspicions, was truly astounded when he saw the news broadcast on a nearby TV, realizing that he had directly traveled ten years into the future!
If Yecheng's memory served him right, the timeline he was previously in should have been around 1994, but now it is 2004.
In other words, after passing through the wormhole, he had directly traveled ten years into the future but remained in Fuyuki City.
In previous Holy Grail Wars, the Greater Holy Grail required sixty years of mana storage to reopen. However, the fifth Holy Grail War was special.
Due to no wishes being made in the fourth Holy Grail War, the Greater Holy Grail consumed less mana, so only ten short years had passed before the new Holy Grail War began again.
"Interesting, the fourth Holy Grail War is over, and we're moving straight to the fifth?
I wonder if the world I'm in now has any connection to the original world, or if this Fuyuki City is the future of my original world or an entirely different parallel world?"
With his 'Awareness of Qi' fully activated and covering the entire city, Yecheng soon discovered that although there were already one or two powerful Heroic Spirit auras in the city, their number had not yet reached the quantity of classes in a Holy Grail War.
This indicated that either the Holy Grail War had already reached its climax, or it had not yet officially begun.
At that moment in the Faruzuki household, Archer, the Heroic Spirit summoned by Haruka Faruzuki, had just been summoned and was originally slumped on the sofa. But suddenly, he sprang up and then looked out the window.
His strange action startled Haruka, who was sitting beside him. The girl with black twin tails asked, "What's wrong, Archer? Did you remember something?"
Due to Haruka Faruzuki's mistake in the timing of the Heroic Spirit summoning, her Servant seemed to experience memory confusion after being summoned. So, Archer's behavior made Haruka think he had remembered something.
"It seems like this Holy Grail War has attracted a truly extraordinary individual.
Just now, someone used a scanning-type magic to survey the entire Fuyuki City, like a radar!"
Upon hearing Archer's words, Haruka's first reaction was disbelief. Setting aside whether such powerful magic existed, the scope of covering the entire Fuyuki City meant that the scanning magic required an immense amount of mana.
