Chapter 889: The Birth of a New Holy Grail, Suddenly Becoming the Target of Many
Chapter 889: The Birth of a New Holy Grail, Suddenly Becoming the Target of Many
For most Heroic Spirits, the True Name Release of their Noble Phantasms would typically be used as a trump card.
After all, Anti-City and Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms possess incredible destructive power but also consume a significant amount of the user's mana.
However, for Saber and Black Jeanne, this was not a concern at all.
One of them had become the vessel of This World's Evil, possessing an almost infinite amount of mana, while the other, as an Avenger, had the Class Skill of Self-Healing (Mana), making her another source of This World's Evil in a different way.
It was the Avenger Angolamannu from the Third Holy Grail War who had corrupted the Holy Grail.
As an Avenger, Angolamannu was no less impressive than Black Jeanne, and the only difference between them was the seventy years of accumulated This World's Evil within Saber.
Even though Saber's This World's Evil was now more powerful, Black Jeanne had the advantage of her Avenger Class and the strength boost from nearly ten Command Spells, resulting in a stalemate between the two as their Noble Phantasms clashed.
Watching Saber's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, now in its True Name form, transforming from a stream of light into a deep darkness, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya, who were fighting in the distance, couldn't help but wear worried expressions.
They could sense that the current Saber was vastly different from the one who had adhered to the knight's code, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
If Saber hadn't absorbed This World's Evil, the black mud that flowed down Enzang Mountain would have caused the deaths of countless ordinary people.
But now, with Saber's personality drastically altered as the vessel of This World's Evil, she seemed to have become exceptionally violent, indicating that the problem was severe.
Observing the continuous exchange of Noble Phantasm attacks between Black Saber and Black Jeanne, their mana still incredibly powerful and their combat speed beyond what the eye could follow, Medea, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
To be honest, she and Medusa's strength among Heroic Spirits was undoubtedly top-tier, and their abilities, whether in terms of Noble Phantasms or Noble Phantasms, were already exceptional.
Generally speaking, the Caster Class might be considered the weakest, but with an exceptionally skilled Master, a Caster with virtually unlimited mana, the situation was entirely different.
In previous Holy Grail Wars, Medea and Medusa's level of strength would have given them a real chance at the final victory, but this Holy Grail War was too chaotic, and their opponents were simply absurd.
Before, she had thought that the great Greek hero Heracles, Gilgamesh, and the Irish hero Lugh were formidable opponents.
But now, after witnessing the battle between Black Saber and Black Jeanne, Medea even believed that all those demi-god Heroic Spirits, plus herself and Medusa, might not be enough to defeat Black Jeanne and Black Saber!
Previously, when she had learned of Yecheng's intention to create a Holy Grail, Medea, upon hearing that Gilgamesh had gained a physical body through This World's Evil, had considered trying it herself.
But now, seeing Black Saber and Black Jeanne before her, Medea was incredibly relieved that she hadn't had such thoughts.
Hadn't she seen how even Saber, who had always upheld the knight's code, and the Saint of Orleans had fallen to This World's Evil?
Even the righteous knight and the benevolent Saint could not resist the corruption of this world's evil, so how could a witch like Medea, who was never a good person to begin with, withstand it?
Medea did want to obtain a physical body, but she didn't want to lose herself in the process.
The battle between Black Saber and Black Jeanne d'Arc had been raging since the afternoon, and by nightfall, Rin Tohsaka and Kiritsugu Emiya were nearly exhausted, while the two Servants were still in their prime.
As night fell, a holy light suddenly erupted from the top of Enzang Mountain, shooting straight into the sky and standing out vividly against the dark backdrop.
The combatants on the battlefield paused, their eyes drawn to the soaring light and the almost tangible mana in the air.
Medea's face was a mix of excitement and anticipation as she watched Night City descend from the sky, cradling the Holy Grail in his hands.
"Night City, did you succeed?" Medea asked, her voice and heart trembling. After experiencing two Holy Grail Wars, this was her one and only wish.
"Yes, I consumed more mana than I anticipated, which took longer than expected, but it was a close call. Thank you for protecting me all this time.
As for the wishes of this new Holy Grail, I'll leave them to the two of you. After all, I've already achieved my own goal."
When Medea saw Night City generously placing the Holy Grail, emitting a pure white light, into her hands, her heart was filled with excitement and gratitude.
This was the Holy Grail, the so-called ten-thousand-year wish-granting machine, which only opened once every sixty years and was fought over by various magus families and Heroic Spirits. Night City was so generous in giving it to her! He was indeed different from Iason and the others; he was special, and just as she deeply loved him, he must love her too!
Not only Medea but also Medusa, standing by her side, was stunned upon hearing Night City's words.
Up until now, Medusa had always acted according to Sakura's wishes. She never expected that she would also have a share in the wishes of the new Holy Grail!
Sensing Medusa's confusion, Night City explained, "Just like the original Holy Grail, a fully charged Holy Grail can grant one wish each to the Master and the Heroic Spirit Servant.
During my absence, thank you for taking care of and protecting Sakura. As a teacher, I feel both responsible and grateful, so I'm giving up my own wish and granting it to you."
Upon hearing Night City's words, not only Medea and Medusa but also Sakura, standing nearby, were overwhelmed with emotion.
Night City was willing to give up his precious wishes to Rider, who had protected and cared for him in his absence. This proved that he still cared about Sakura!
"Hey, hey, hey! If you don't mind us, we might as well not exist! The final outcome hasn't been decided yet, and you're already dividing up the wishes of the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail in your hands belongs to me, King Artoria Pendragon. If you don't want to be my enemy, hand it over."
The appearance of the Holy Grail disrupted the battlefield. Black Saber, who had been fighting fiercely against Black Jeanne d'Arc, abandoned her original opponent and glared at Night City and the others as she spoke.
Unlike the original Saber, the current Black Saber, corrupted by this world's evil, displayed her cold and ruthless side. She needed the Holy Grail to establish a new empire!
