A simple sentence stunned Irisviel.
Meanwhile, on Kiritsugu Emiya's side, after Saber was called back by him, he immediately began to question her.
"Saber, what did you do just now? Where did you and Merlin go?"
"Why should I tell you!"
Saber, already dissatisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's personal style, immediately retorted.
"Saber, you are just a Servant, and I am your Master. Answer my question, where did you go? Where is Irisviel?"
Kiritsugu Emiya coldly questioned Saber, but his cold expression disgusted her.
"Irisviel is in Caster's hands. Caster is replacing Irisviel's heart. Her heart is the vessel for the Holy Grail, and she fainted because she couldn't bear the Grail's power. Only by replacing her heart can she be saved."
Saber did not reveal Wang Xiaoming's location but instead spoke of Irisviel's situation.
Kiritsugu Emiya knew Irisviel's identity. After hearing Saber's words, he merely frowned and remained silent. He was pondering how Wang Xiaoming would treat Irisviel. Was it truly just a heart transplant? It shouldn't be just that. The heart being replaced is the Lesser Grail, the tool responsible for connecting to the Greater Grail. In other words, the timing of the Holy Grail's descent had been grasped by the other party.
If that's the case, if the other party summoned the Holy Grail without his knowledge and then made a wish directly, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.
No, he had to find a way to locate Wang Xiaoming. Only by finding Wang Xiaoming's location could he seize the opportunity.
"Saber, tell me Caster's location, and what exactly is going on with Berserker?"
"I don't know about Berserker's situation, but I won't tell you Caster's location."
Saber stubbornly retorted. Telling Kiritsugu Emiya about Irisviel was already the extent of her benevolence. As for Wang Xiaoming's location, Saber didn't plan to reveal it. She had already given up on her own wish. In front of Wang Xiaoming, the true "King Arthur," she had no chance of winning. But if she told Kiritsugu Emiya, although he wouldn't win either, he would definitely resort to some disgusting tactics, like ambushes or throwing bombs.
Perhaps the other party's Master had no malicious intent, but there was still a child there. Saber felt that the child was likely to become Kiritsugu Emiya's tool, so she absolutely wouldn't tell him.
As for Irisviel's life, she felt she could rest assured. Wang Xiaoming, the true "King Arthur," was explosively strong, but he hadn't killed any innocent Masters. Waver Velvet and Kayneth Archibald had left on their own, and even Berserker's Master, Kariya Matou, had as well. Therefore, Irisviel's life was definitely not in danger.
Although that King Arthur seemed to be somewhat unscrupulous when fighting, at least he was commendable in keeping his word.
Kiritsugu Emiya looked at the stubborn Saber before him, filled with anger, but he didn't show it. He just stared at her coldly, saying nothing, because he knew that nothing he said would matter. This so-called King of Knights was a blockhead, and their compatibility was extremely low!
And the most troublesome thing was that Saber possessed very high magic resistance. A single Command Seal wasn't enough to force her to obey. If he used a Command Seal to order Saber to reveal the information he wanted, she would resist with all her might. At that point, he might not get the information he wanted and would also lose a Command Seal. He had already used one Command Seal to recall Saber. If he wasted another, the last Command Seal would leave him unable to control Saber.
In Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes, Saber was also a tool, a tool to realize his dreams. If he couldn't control her, it would be very troublesome.
Unable to obtain the information he wanted from Saber, Kiritsugu Emiya gave up questioning her and instead left a sentence.
"I hope you can continue to fight, Saber."
He couldn't rely on Saber. Kiritsugu Emiya could only rely on himself to find Wang Xiaoming's location. Kiritsugu Emiya didn't know what the situation outside was like, and the timing of the Holy Grail's summoning completely depended on Wang Xiaoming's intentions. He had to quickly grasp Wang Xiaoming's location.
Unbeknownst to Kiritsugu Emiya, on Wang Xiaoming's side, the Lesser Grail had already fully manifested.
The Lesser Grail, assembled from magical energy and with Irisviel's heart as its base, this golden Lesser Grail, had completely appeared.
Berserker was gone, Assassin was gone, Lancer, Rider, and Archer had been killed by Wang Xiaoming. Although Saber remained, the conditions for the Holy Grail's descent were effectively met.
Wang Xiaoming had completely achieved the feat of clearing the Holy Grail War in one night.
What Three Kings' Banquet, what 'put down your sword and be my woman,' what king's ideals, none of it happened.
Wang Xiaoming didn't give these plot developments any time. All he wanted was the Holy Grail. What did he care about them discussing life and ideals! He was just getting a key to another world for his wife.
As for Saber, the reason he didn't kill her was because she and Merlin were compatible, so Wang Xiaoming gave her a decent exit. If Saber joined forces with Kiritsugu Emiya to cause trouble, Wang Xiaoming wouldn't mind giving her a Black Hand Heart Rip.
Now that five Servants had fallen and the Lesser Grail was in hand, Wang Xiaoming didn't plan to waste any time and prepared to summon the Greater Grail directly.
And Wang Xiaoming chose to summon the Greater Grail at Ryudou Temple, a famous tourist attraction in Fuyuki City!
405. Leticia: Master, please allow us to serve you!
A Holy Grail War ending in one night had never happened before, but it wasn't right to say it would never happen, because this was only the Fourth Holy Grail War. The first and second Holy Grail Wars weren't held properly, and the Third Holy Grail War was the first Holy Grail War in the true sense.
And this so-called Fourth Holy Grail War was actually only the second official Holy Grail War.
So, there was nothing wrong with this kind of operation of clearing the Holy Grail War in one night.
"Is... is that so?"
"Just because you haven't experienced it or seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right? Before the Holy Grail War started, did you ever think King Arthur would have female fans?"
"Ah, that... I didn't think about that."
"So, you see, that female fan could pretend to be King Arthur. A fan can become a Heroic Spirit, so when I, the genuine King Arthur, become a Heroic Spirit, naturally I'm the strongest one."
Irisviel was full of question marks at Wang Xiaoming's explanation. Although she was a homunculus and didn't know much, she was still from the prestigious Einzbern family of magi, so this shouldn't be the case, right?
But Wang Xiaoming had won the Holy Grail War. If Wang Xiaoming said it was like that, then it was like that.
Ryudou Temple, a famous tourist attraction in Fuyuki City, possessed the strongest defensive Noble Phantasm [The Tiles of Ryudou Temple]. The Greater Grail was located in the mountains below Ryudou Temple. Summoning the Grail here was the closest distance, and as a precaution, if any black mud overflowed, it wouldn't cause too many casualties. At most, it would just cause a forest fire. Although setting a fire to burn down the mountain would land him in jail, a natural gas explosion could solve everything!
Because Saber had been summoned away by Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel had to stay behind alone. Wang Xiaoming didn't want her to go back to Kiritsugu Emiya. That Ally of Justice had a problem with his brain. If he knew where he was, he would definitely come with explosives, which would be very troublesome. So, Wang Xiaoming chose to bring Irisviel to Ryudou Temple together and then summon the Greater Grail to play with.
Wang Xiaoming held the golden Lesser Grail in his hand, looked around, then found an open space and placed it directly on the ground.
"Merlin, go ahead and manifest the Greater Grail."
"Huh?"
Merlin, who was suddenly ordered, was a little dumbfounded. He was supposed to go? Was he serious?
"That's right, aren't you a magician? I don't understand these things. You're a magician, you know better than me!"
"No, although I'm a magician, to be honest, I'm not very proficient in this area."
Merlin had a bitter look on his face. He was a magician, that's true, but he was a magician who used the Holy Sword.
“That's still more than I know, right?”
Wang Xiaoming looked like it was a matter of course. Merlin just liked to act. He clearly knew a lot, but he just didn't show it. Sigh, I'm just having fun!
“Or, how about I do it?”
Irisviel, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore. Are you two serious? One is the King Arthur who beat the Holy Grail War in one night, and the other is the court magician who is King Arthur's right-hand man. In the end, when it comes to summoning the Holy Grail, you're both backing down.
“Hmm, you can do it too. Then you do it. Remember, retreat immediately after summoning the Holy Grail, or you will die.”
“Ah?”
Irisviel, who was about to take a step forward, was stunned by Wang Xiaoming's words.
“During the Third Holy Grail War, your Einzbern family summoned an extra-regulation Avenger. Because he was too weak, he withdrew early and entered the Holy Grail. He polluted the entire Holy Grail. Because this summoned servant is a collection representing evil, bearing all the evil of this world, the polluted Holy Grail has also become the evil of this world.”
Wang Xiaoming crossed his arms and looked at the Lesser Grail he had placed on the ground.
“So, if you have any wishes you want to fulfill, the Holy Grail, which possesses the consciousness of the evil of this world, will directly give you a big surprise. For example, if you want world peace, but where there are humans, there is conflict. Therefore, the way the Holy Grail fulfills the wish is to kill all the humans in the world, so that there is no conflict, and naturally there will be peace.”
Wang Xiaoming explained with ease, but Irisviel felt endless despair listening to it.
“In that case, wouldn't that mean….”
“That's right, your wishes cannot be fulfilled from the start.”
Irisviel thought of Kiritsugu Emiya's wish, and Saber's wish. They placed their hopes on the Holy Grail, but it turned out that it was impossible to fulfill their wishes at all. If that's the case, what is the point of them participating in the Holy Grail War?
“Wait, if that's the case, why are you summoning the Holy Grail? Do you want to destroy the world?”
“What kind of brain circuit do you have?”
Wang Xiaoming looked at Irisviel speechlessly.
“The reason I'm summoning the Holy Grail, of course, is because I have a way to get rid of the evil of this world. I am King Arthur! Not that female fan you know!”
Alright, you are King Arthur, you are right.
Irisviel pursed her lips helplessly, gave up asking Wang Xiaoming, and walked towards the Lesser Grail on the ground. It was hard to imagine that this thing was originally her heart, and now she had to use this thing to connect to the Greater Grail.
Just thinking about the darkness inside the Greater Grail made Irisviel feel a little nervous. She took a deep breath before unfolding her magecraft and began to use magic power to drive the Lesser Grail to communicate with the Greater Grail.
The Greater Grail was originally a source of magic power, so when Irisviel used the Lesser Grail to communicate with the Greater Grail, the Greater Grail immediately gave feedback, and a steady stream of magic power poured into the Lesser Grail. Irisviel immediately interrupted her own magic power and withdrew from the side of the Lesser Grail.
The Lesser Grail, filled with the magic power of the Greater Grail, immediately emitted a dazzling light, floating up from the ground and turning into a shining golden cup, looking just like the Holy Grail in mythology.
However, this was all a superficial image. The inside of this Holy Grail was not a good thing at all.
“Est.”
Wang Xiaoming stretched out his right hand, and the silver-white Holy Sword appeared.
“Holy Grail, take the sword!”
Facing the Holy Grail floating in mid-air, Wang Xiaoming directly activated [Percentage Empty-Handed Blade Catch], but it was just a Holy Grail, and it didn't have hands, so this sword directly hit a critical strike!
The Holy Grail, which didn't even have hands, wasn't qualified to catch Wang Xiaoming's sword!
The golden Holy Grail was directly split in half by Wang Xiaoming!
The bright appearance was cut away by Wang Xiaoming's sword, and what appeared in front of the few people was a black hole. Endless malice overflowed from the hole, and Merlin and Irisviel's faces changed instantly.
Wang Xiaoming glanced at the dark hole and opened his mouth to entrust Merlin.
“Merlin, after I go in, guard this place and don't let anyone approach here. Can you do it?”
“No problem!”
Merlin immediately agreed.
“Then, I'll leave this place to you.”
As Wang Xiaoming spoke, he stretched out his left hand towards the black hole floating in front of him. The moment his left hand entered the hole, Wang Xiaoming was directly swallowed in.
Merlin watched Wang Xiaoming being sucked into the hole and immediately unfolded his illusion magic. He wanted to turn the area around Ryudou Temple into an area of illusion, so that no one would discover the anomaly here.
And Wang Xiaoming, who entered the hole, finally landed steadily after passing through a dark passage.
However, as soon as he landed, he found himself back in his laboratory, sitting on his white food stall plastic chair, and Leticia, Lamia, and Lamya were looking at him with smiles on their faces.
“Leticia?”
Wang Xiaoming understood that this was the illusion created for him by the Holy Grail. He just didn't expect that the people who appeared in the environment were his vampire wives.
“Master, welcome back.”
Leticia held the corners of her skirt with both hands and gave Wang Xiaoming an elegant curtsy, then took Lamia and Lamya together and slowly lifted their skirts.
“Master, you've worked hard for us, please let us serve you.”
Afterwards, Leticia and the other two completely lifted their skirts, allowing Wang Xiaoming, who was sitting in the chair, to clearly see everything underneath.
“Not… not wearing anything!!!”
In Wang Xiaoming's tactical lean back and shocked gaze, Leticia and the other two slowly walked up, and then pounced together to engulf Wang Xiaoming's body.
Wang Xiaoming, who was engulfed by the three, stubbornly pulled out his right hand and then popped out a thumb.
“Angra, you're awesome!”
406. Unlocked Profession: Magic Sword ~ Knight!
Angra Mainyu, or rather, the Evil of This World, who occupied the inner consciousness of the Greater Grail, could perceive anyone who entered the Holy Grail, and even everything that the person who entered the Holy Grail was thinking.
He could use this method to know all the wishes of the person entering the Holy Grail, and then use the power of the black mud to make the other party addicted to the black mud, so as to pollute and control the other party, or to lure the other party to say their wishes, and then use the most terrible means to realize the other party's wishes, just like Kiritsugu Emiya's world peace, the Evil of This World would directly kill everyone.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Xiaoming entered the Greater Grail, the Evil of This World invaded Wang Xiaoming's heart, knew what Wang Xiaoming was thinking in his mind, and then immediately simulated an illusion for Wang Xiaoming.
What was Wang Xiaoming thinking in his mind? He was just a LSP, and naturally he was thinking of his wives, so Wang Xiaoming's illusion was very simple, his wives directly came to his door.
Wang Xiaoming knew that these were all illusions created by the Greater Grail, but there was no way, it gave too much.
First Leticia, then Lamia, then Lamya, then Leticia and Lamya, then Lamia and Lamya, then Leticia and Lamia, sisters, mother and daughter, aunt and niece, and finally the three of them came together, Wang Xiaoming enjoyed wave after wave.
Later, even Hestia joined in, as well as Linis and the most docile Yako, and even Est joined in at the end, Wang Xiaoming was completely engulfed by his wives, and experienced all kinds of tastes, it was simply too high.
After all the wives had made Wang Xiaoming happy several times, Wang Xiaoming finally stopped. After all, Wang Xiaoming came in to work, not really to let Angra make him happy. Of course, getting happy was an unexpected bonus.
He'd been happy enough, and Angra had worked hard enough, it was time to work.
“Est, are you there?”
“Xiaoming, Est has always been here.”
Est, who was hugging him with her eyes narrowed, immediately raised her head and answered.
Wang Xiaoming glanced at this “Est” who was as cute as his own Est, and couldn't help but smile as he touched her head.
“Ah, I'm not asking you, I'm asking my Est.”
“But Est is Xiaoming's Est, right?”
