Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 186: The Holy Grail War Ends in One Night?

Chapter 187: The Holy Grail War Ends in One Night?

Without keeping the Black faction waiting long, the floating fortress carried by the Red faction quickly appeared in the eyes of the Black faction's Servants.

The confrontation between the two sides thus began.

A major war was imminent.

Meanwhile, Shirou Kotomine remained hidden in the shadows, silently observing the great battle between the red and black sides.

On the main battlefield, the most prominent battle was the duel between Vlad III and Karna.

Vlad III, whose strength was greatly enhanced by the advantage of the terrain, actually gained the upper hand in this battle, and could be said to be suppressing Karna in the fight.

The countless wooden stakes displayed terrifying power.

The sheer number and speed at which these wooden stakes are created are beyond calculation.

It can even change the place where it is born.

Karna, who was accidentally hit, had a wooden stake grow out of his body.

It was as if he had been pierced by a wooden stake.

However, Karna was, after all, a Servant of exceptional rank. Although Vlad III's attacks were unusually strange, they ultimately could not truly harm Karna.

With the protection of the golden armor, Karna would not suffer any serious injuries.

Even if Vlad III's stake grew out of his body, it would be the same.

The next moment, the scorching flames burned everything to ashes.

Magic Release: Flame.

This is Karna's inherent ability.

Being able to convert magic into flames for combat, he is undoubtedly a major magic consumer. His current offensive appears weaker than Vlad III's because he finds it difficult to unleash his full power.

Karna, who currently lacks the Greater Grail to fuel his magic, is unable to fight at his full strength as he pleases.

Vlad III, on the other hand, possessed artificial human batteries to power his magic.

This is why his Noble Phantasm, the wooden stake, can have such a terrifying effect.

Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, it would be impossible for him to release his Noble Phantasm so freely.

His master will be sucked to death.

Although Karna could not fight at full strength as he pleased, he was still able to fight Vlad III to the peak thanks to the protection of his golden armor.

The battle between the two remained at a stalemate.

Besides Karna and Vlad III, Shirou Kotomine, hiding in the shadows, is also watching another duel.

It was a duel between master and disciple.

Achilles and Chiron.

The master and apprentice were currently engaged in a chase in the forest.

At the very beginning of the battle, Achilles displayed an extremely strong offensive on the battlefield.

As a Rider, he has his own vehicle.

And he who drives the chariot is the King of the Sky.

Faced with his imposing presence, Astolfo simply had no chance against him.

The incredibly fast Achilles first surveyed the battlefield in the sky before coming down to the ground and rampaging through it.

Neither androids nor golems were able to put up any fight against his chariot.

Achilles relentlessly crushed the black opponent with his own strength.

At that crucial moment, it was Siegfried who stopped Achilles' attack.

Only he could stop Achilles' chariot.

Upon seeing Siegfried, Achilles, full of fighting spirit, abandoned his chariot and immediately engaged Siegfried in close combat, brandishing his spear.

As soon as their battle began, they discovered that they were the same type of warrior.

For defense, Siegfried possessed the Blood of the Evil Dragon Armor.

Achilles also possesses a Noble Phantasm called "The Unfading Flower of the Hero".

This is also a Noble Phantasm that transcends the legend of Achilles' immortality.

With the blessing of this Noble Phantasm, no Servant without divinity can harm Achilles.

In a sense, Achilles can be considered an enhanced version of Siegfried.

Siegfried was completely outmatched by him.

It was a complete and utter suppression. Under Achilles' storm-like offensive, Siegfried could only struggle to hold on.

Fortunately, he also possessed a defensive Noble Phantasm like the Blood of the Dragon, which prevented him from being defeated by Achilles's frenzied attacks.

Just like the battle between Vlad III and Karna.

Although Karna had it much easier than him.

Just as the battle between the two was becoming increasingly intense, an arrow brought the fight to an end.

Unlike Siegfried's attack, which had no effect whatsoever.

The attack entered Achilles' body without any resistance.

This immediately caught Achilles' attention.

For Achilles, who is obsessed with battle, an opponent like Siegfried is interesting, but that's about it.

The opponent's attacks could not penetrate his defenses.

This prevented his blood from boiling.

But this arrow was different.

The arrow pierced through his defenses.

This means that the servant who shot this arrow, like him, was a being with divine blood.

Only such an opponent can get his blood pumping.

Achilles immediately abandoned Siegfried, who was like a tin can, and ran quickly toward the forest from which the arrows were coming.

Although arrows kept shooting at him all the way.

But Achilles still managed to reach the archer with his superhuman speed.

To his surprise, the archer turned out to be his mentor in life, Chiron.

Faced with this situation, a panicked Achilles was kicked away.

Although Achilles hesitated when faced with Chiron.

But Chiron did not hesitate at all.

After being brutally beaten, Achilles quickly came to his senses.

The battle between the two then began.

And it's getting more and more intense.

Especially in combat techniques, since Achilles' martial arts were all taught by Chiron.

Although Achilles then used his own technique.

But that was only a part of all his skills.

If Achilles could only use a portion of his strength against an opponent of Chiron's caliber, wouldn't he be utterly defeated?

Moreover, this event was so sudden that Achilles was completely unprepared.

In this situation, it's quite normal to get beaten up.

However, Achilles truly deserves the title of a great hero.

After a brutal beating, he quickly took control of the situation and began to fight back.

The battle between the two became increasingly intense.

This was the battle between Achilles and Chiron.

Besides these two battles, the next event will be a duel between two swordsmen.

When Achilles left Siegfried and went after Chiron, Siegfried did not give chase.

Through the connection between Masters, Siegfried knew very well that he could not harm Achilles.

Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't get involved in the battle with Achilles.

That's too extravagant.

However, the Black side does not have such extravagant resources.

Therefore, after Achilles disappeared, Siegfried threw himself into a new battlefield.

That was the battle against the newly arrived Red Saber Mordred.

The two swordsmen, both swordsmen, immediately engaged in a fierce battle upon meeting.

This time, Siegfried no longer has to face Achilles' disgusting Noble Phantasm and can finally have a good fight with Mordred.

But this time it was Mordred's turn to be disgusting.

After all, Siegfried's Blood of the Dragon Armor is not much inferior to Achilles' Undying Flower in this respect.

It's just that everyone is targeting different people.

Therefore, this duel between swordsmen was quite difficult to decide.

In addition to these three one-on-one matches, there was also a chaotic battle taking place on the battlefield.

The two sides in the battle are Atalanta and Spartacus on the red side versus Astolfo, Frankenstein and Avisbro on the black side.

This is a two-on-three battle.

However, Avisbro, representing the Black team, did not personally participate.

But the golems he created were incredibly powerful.

Besides, Spartacus on the red side can hardly be considered a teammate.

His attacks were incredibly ferocious.

This resulted in absolutely no coordination between him and Atalanta, only chaotic fighting.

This left both sides feeling helpless.

Therefore, the battle here is truly chaotic.

Even so, their battle was evenly matched.

Atalanta unleashed her Noble Phantasm the moment she landed.

Large numbers of Black soldiers were destroyed.

Furthermore, her combat awareness is also excellent.

Therefore, she showed no signs of weakness when fighting.

On the contrary, they displayed extreme bravery.

These are the four battle sites on the entire battlefield, but there is actually another battlefield outside of these four.

That was a battle between the adjudicators.

Or rather, it's a battle fought from a distance.

Joan of Arc was always chasing after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's position.

Even after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada launched an attack on the Black Faction from his floating fortress, she still pursued after it.

Then they chased the Red team all the way from their initial base to the Black team's base.

Faced with Joan of Arc's relentless pursuit, Semiramis, the master of the floating fortress, couldn't help but feel angry.

So she used her hanging gardens to launch an attack.

Faced with the attack from the sky, Joan of Arc had no chance to fight back.

But when it comes to defense, Joan of Arc is by no means afraid.

In addition, her EX-level magic resistance made Semiramis's attacks on her completely useless.

This made Semiramis even angrier.

"This battlefield is really chaotic!"

With the entire battlefield in view, Shirou Kotomine's face beamed with a smile.

This Holy Grail War truly deserves its name as the Holy Grail War.

The fight was indeed very intense.

Even just looking at Shirou Kotomine from afar made his blood boil.

This made Kotomine Shirou wish he could get involved immediately.

But Kotomine Shirou cannot do that at this time.

He needs Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to obtain the Greater Grail, only then will he be qualified to gain control of all the Servants, thereby causing the Reds to become disloyal.

This is very important to Shirou Kotomine.

After all, if the Red team doesn't become divided and disunited, then a united Red team would be too difficult to deal with.

Putting aside others, Karna and Achilles alone are extremely difficult to deal with.

Let's start with Achilles.

The most important thing for Shirou Kotomine to do when facing him is to lack divinity.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine needs to defeat a Servant with divine abilities before fighting Achilles.

In this Holy Grail War, besides Achilles, there are only Karna and Chiron as such Servants.

But to defeat Karna, you must first defeat Achilles.

This is because Karna's ace spear, Godslayer, is simply too powerful.

At this point, Kotomine Shirou Kai no longer possessed the strength to clash with this god-slaying spear.

After all, Karna is one of the three golden targets.

He is an existence on par with Gilgamesh.

The reason why it is necessary to defeat Achilles first is because Achilles has a Noble Phantasm that can deal with the God-Slaying Spear.

If Shirou Kotomine defeats Achilles first, his chances of defeating Karna will increase significantly.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine needs to defeat Chiron before he can defeat Achilles.

Only by acquiring Chiron's divinity and Noble Phantasm can Shirou Kotomine be qualified to fight Achilles.

Therefore, in Shirou Kotomine's plan, Karna is the final boss.

Ahead lies Achilles.

Further ahead lies Chiron.

The three of them must be defeated in this order.

However, Shirou Kotomine cannot attack Chiron yet.

Faced with such upright Servants, Shirou Kotomine needs to defeat them head-on to gain their trust.

If you try to attack him from behind, there's a chance Shirou Kotomine will be rejected.

Therefore, the only enemies Shirou Kotomine intends to defeat in this battle are Atalanta and Vlad III.

Vlad III, for example, was almost certain to be killed if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada followed his plan.

Once the Greater Grail is taken by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Vlad III, as the leader of the Black Faction, will inevitably pursue it.

Once you set foot in that hanging garden, it will no longer be Vlad III's territory.

At that time, the geographical advantage bestowed upon Vlad III will disappear.

Vlad III's power will also quickly return to its original level.

In this way, Shirou Kotomine could easily eliminate Vlad III.

"In short, we must wait until Amakusa Shiro Tokisada takes the Greater Grail before the real battle begins."

Thinking about his various plans, Shirou Kotomine shook his head slightly.

Shirou Kotomine knows himself very well.

The saying "plans are no match for changes" couldn't be more accurate to describe him.

Even if he sets up a detailed plan before the battle, she may not necessarily act according to the plan when the battle actually takes place.

What Shirou Kotomine is now calling a plan is just him organizing the thoughts in his mind.

Sitting on the tree trunk, Shirou Kotomine watched the chaotic battle unfolding in Atalanta in the distance while continuing to organize his thoughts.

By this time, Spartacus had become incredibly bloated.

Spartacus, who possesses a permanent Noble Phantasm, can convert the damage he receives into magical energy and store it within his body.

As his magical power increases, his body grows larger and larger.

At this moment, Spartacus's body had already become incredibly large.

And it became cystic.

This means that the magical power within Spartacus has become incredibly vast, and his body is about to be unable to contain it.

Once Spartacus's body can no longer withstand it, an ultimate explosion will occur.

At this moment, both Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Kotomine Shirou were waiting for Spartacus to explode.

After a short wait.

Spartacus finally exploded.

The dazzling white light engulfed everything, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The violent explosion quickly spread to the surrounding area.

Facing the dazzling light and the storm whipped up by the explosion, Shirou Kotomine stood up.

He stood on the tree trunk, gazing into the distance, and muttered to himself.

"The battle has finally begun. I don't know if I can do it, but let's give it a try!"

"Tonight, defeat all the Servants, and lift the Holy Grail!"

"I want to be a giant hero who ends the Holy Grail War in one night!"
