Chapter 890: Solo Battle Against Black Saber and Black Jeanne!
Chapter 890: Solo Battle Against Black Saber and Black Jeanne!
"It's quite surprising. I've been wondering why we Heroic Spirits, who descended through the Holy Grail, are still able to exist after the original Holy Grail was destroyed. So, this is what's going on?"
Whether the previous Holy Grail had the power to grant wishes or not was unknown, but this new, untainted Holy Grail clearly possessed such power.
"If that's the case, I might have to fight you for the Holy Grail in your hands as well."
At that moment, Black Jeanne, who had emerged from another corner, gazed at the Holy Grail in Medea's hands, which emanated a holy aura, and spoke with equal interest.
For Black Jeanne, whether it was Black Saber or Yecheng and their group, they were all originally her enemies.
The reason she chose to strike at Saber first was simply because Saber was weaker compared to Yecheng and the others.
However, the situation was different now. With the Holy Grail in Yecheng's hands, the order of enemies needed to be rearranged slightly.
Although Black Jeanne's primary goal was revenge, if she managed to obtain the Holy Grail, she wouldn't mind adding another wish, such as becoming the real Joan of Arc.
If it were just Black Jeanne or Black Saber alone against Yecheng, Medea, and Medusa, the chances of victory would be almost negligible.
But now, with both of them targeting the Holy Grail and temporarily setting aside their past grudges, choosing to first unite against Yecheng, the situation was different.
"Saber, calm down! Compared to Yecheng and the others, Avenger and his group are our true enemies!"
Seeing Saber standing alongside Black Jeanne, Shirou Emiya, who was not far away, shouted loudly, trying to wake Saber up from the curse's influence.
However, the response to Shirou was a powerful sword pressure that instantly sliced through the ground! "Shut up! I've never been as calm as I am now. If I wasn't concerned about eliminating the Master and possibly causing my own departure as a Heroic Spirit, I would have gotten rid of you all long ago!"
As the sword pressure brushed past his body and left a deep trench in the ground before him, Shirou stumbled and fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to persistently speak again, he was stopped by Rin Tohsaka, who extended her hand.
"Give up, Shirou. The Saber we know is no more.
The killing intent emanating from her just now was no joke.
The previous Saber upheld her ideals with integrity, but the current Saber seems like the kind of ruler who would implement high-pressure politics for her ideals."
Seeing Black Saber and Black Jeanne's menacing stares, Medea tightly hugged the Holy Grail in her arms.
Previously, she had only marveled at the strength of Black Saber and Black Jeanne, which exceeded the standards of Heroic Spirits, but she never imagined that her joke would come true.
With Black Saber and Black Jeanne joining forces, even Yecheng, who had always been a symbol of invincibility in Medea's eyes, along with her and Medusa, might not be able to protect the Holy Grail in their hands!
Compared to Medea, who wore a worried expression, and Medusa, who had already assumed a battle stance, Yecheng first glanced at Black Jeanne, then at Black Saber, and a look of interest appeared on his face. "It seems that while I was engrossed in modifying the Holy Grail, many interesting things have happened.
This Holy Grail War has been quite extraordinary. First, there was the survival of a Heroic Spirit from the previous Holy Grail War, and then the appearance of a future Heroic Spirit.
Now, there was also the special Avenger class, Black Jeanne, and in the end, even a Black Saber appeared."
"Speaking of which, ever since the Fifth Holy Grail War began, I don't think I've ever seriously fought the Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War."
"Gilgamesh was a leftover from the Fourth Holy Grail War, so he doesn't count as a Heroic Spirit from this war."
"Medea, Medusa, you two just protect the Holy Grail and Sakura. As for those two, I'll be their final opponent."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, both Medea and Medusa were about to speak, but they quickly realized that before they could say anything, Yecheng's figure had already disappeared from their sight.
After hesitating for only a moment, Medea handed over the Holy Grail, which she regarded as precious as life itself, directly to Sakura. Then, she turned to Medusa and said, "Yecheng has been focusing on modifying the Holy Grail this whole time, so he might not be aware of Black Jeanne and Black Saber's strength. We can't just stand by and watch him face them alone."
There was no doubt that Yecheng was powerful, but the strength of Black Jeanne and Black Saber was also exceptionally beyond reason.
Although they were still Heroic Spirits, they could no longer be judged by ordinary standards. Whether it was the previous Gilgamesh or Hercules, as Heroic Spirits, they were already at the pinnacle, but compared to the current Black Saber and Black Jeanne, they were still far behind.
Moreover, Yecheng had already consumed a large amount of mana during his previous modification of the Holy Grail, which had taken the three families working together several years to complete. Yet, Yecheng had finished the modification in just half a year.
Furthermore, the sixty years' worth of mana required to fill the Holy Grail had also been completely filled by Yecheng in a short period.
Under such circumstances, Yecheng still attempted to face Black Saber and Black Jeanne alone. Even though Medea had previously been confident in Yecheng, her heart now felt that his chances of victory were slim.
But just as Medea handed the Holy Grail to Sakura and was about to provide support from the rear, what happened before her eyes made her dumbfounded.
In the instant Yecheng vanished from their sight, his figure had already burst forth in front of Black Saber. And although Saber had the Noble Phantasm 'Instinct,' which allowed her to react quickly, she was still stunned by Yecheng's displayed speed.
"Clang—!"
This was the sound of a fist colliding with the blade of the sword of the promised victory, Excalibur. The fist, imbued with mana, struck the sword, emitting an extremely crisp muffled sound and bending the blade completely.
And in the next second, Saber's body flew backward like a cannonball.
Almost simultaneously, Black Jeanne also reacted and waved her Cursed Flag, unleashing a scorching Inferno of Sin towards Yecheng.
As the flag thrust towards him, Yecheng grabbed it with his other hand, and a black longsword instantly appeared in his grip. He blocked the flag's thrust with a steady stance.
The Inferno of Sin, capable of burning everything, was shattered by the mana turbulence swirling around Yecheng's body before even touching him!
After blocking the flag's thrust with the longsword, before Black Jeanne could react, Yecheng had already grabbed the flagpole with his other hand and violently threw her, flag and all, hundreds of meters away!
