Chapter 478 Oh My God, the Empress Stole the House!
After Shuo Yue projected the divine sword and destroyed the Milenian Fortress, Semiramis immediately ordered the Sky Courtyard to move toward the Black base.
"Well, I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to destroy the fortress, but now it's much easier. After all, I thought I could only use Lancer's Noble Phantasm to solve it... I didn't expect that Shuoyue is not much better than King Arthur. Let it go.”
On the lonely throne, the empress held her chin, with a trace of fear hidden in her slightly narrowed eyes.
She could feel the vast aura contained in the two giant swords, and the concepts of 'opening up' and 'cutting off' attached to them were special attacks for any building.
The fortress of Myrenia is like this, and so is her sky courtyard, and it's even worse.
It was originally an illusion forcibly combined with magic. If it was struck by any one of the Hell Scythe Dust Saws, it would undoubtedly be exposed and degenerate into the most basic clod of earth and tree branches.
Fortunately he is not a member of Black...
Suppressing the joy in her heart, the empress raised her head and said to the retreating servants:
"Everyone has worked hard. It seems that your boiling blood has not calmed down yet - it's okay, just be patient for a while, we will fight again soon."
After hearing these words, Ta Miao withdrew her secret glance at Shuo Yue and asked in confusion:
"I don't mind this, but what are you going to do when you approach that fortress now? Do you want to kill the Master directly?"
"No need to ask - of course they must return the Great Holy Grail."
For a moment, all the servants present fell silent. Achilles and Atalanta looked at each other, even Karna, who looked pale. He also looked at the empress with a surprised expression.
"You said you want them to hand it back? No, then again...how to hand it back?"
The empress smiled and pointed to the floor:
"The reason why this sky courtyard floats in the air is entirely based on a concept called 'inversion'. Plants grow downward and water always flows from bottom to top."
The courtyard came to a halt above the fortress of Myrenia. If the residents of Tolifas also looked up and saw this night sky, what would they think of this huge courtyard that even blocked the moonlight? At least I can't maintain a normal mental state.
"Watch it carefully, you inexperienced magicians. This is the true realm of magic."
Semiramis let out a haughty laugh, spread her hands and released the technique.
Boom - A strong wind began to blow at the bottom of the courtyard. The air flow that resembled a tornado was connected to the fortress like some kind of pipe, directly connected to the underground Great Holy Grail that Shuo Yue had opened up.
"Okay, come out to me right now, Great Holy Grail! Let me see your ugly yet beautiful posture created by divine magic!"
The spiral storm penetrated into the hinterland of Mirennia Fortress like a steel needle. The brick walls were torn apart and doors and windows were damaged. Before the poor artificial people could recover from the bombardment of the Noble Phantasms, they were involuntarily thrown by the strong wind. When he left the room, he was beaten into pieces by pieces flying like bullets, further becoming a tool to persecute his compatriots.
The Great Holy Grail, which took on the form of the Winter Saint, was also drawn by this conceptual level and headed towards the red square garden bit by bit.
"Is that the Great Holy Grail...?" Atalanta said to herself with a mute expression. Not only her, but also Karna, Achilles and even Shakespeare were stunned. The huge, colorless and transparent magic power that has been accumulated over the years and is absolutely unchanged is now swirling there.
"That's the Holy Grail! Great! That's great! Great! Great! Great! Even I can feel the overwhelming magic from here! It makes me want to jump in and indulge in it The urge to integrate with it is obvious! The ugliness of the human body is exposed! As the saying goes, 'clean is dirty, dirty is clean'!"
Shakespeare let out a voice of joy filled with passion. If it is this Great Holy Grail, as long as it is not a large-scale wish, it is indeed not an exaggeration to call it the "universal wish machine". It was only natural that these Servants would become so excited.
"...Hmph, has it been completely integrated with the spiritual veins? It will take a certain amount of time to separate it, but we can't just sit idle like this, it's coming, everyone."
——No one dares to attack the Great Holy Grail. Unless they go to the garden and cut off the empress's spell, Black can only watch as Red succeeds.
There was no need for the Empress' reminder at all. All the servants present noticed this change. In order to prevent the Great Holy Grail from being snatched away, Black's servants began to rush over one after another.
"I must focus on the Great Holy Grail for the time being, and leave the rest to you. If you don't survive this period, your wishes will be in vain, so be careful, okay?"
"Then, thanks to the Great Holy Grail, I suddenly had the inspiration to create, so I'll excuse you for now!"
"...I say, you should at least help me."
Ignoring everyone's helpless gazes, Shakespeare hurried to the workshop specially built for him - the "study".
"Yes, yes, there is one thing I forgot to mention. This courtyard does not belong to Romania. You can pay more attention to this during the battle."
After leaving such a sentence, Red Assassin disappeared without a trace. As for the Great Holy Grail, although it is quite slow, it is indeed being stripped away from Tulifas bit by bit.
If the Black side still wants to take back the Holy Grail, this is the last chance.

"That's... Shuoyue?!"
There was a look of astonishment on her beautiful face. In the center of the battlefield, which was sunken radially, Artoria looked at the surprised Joan of Arc and sighed in her heart.
There was no way that Shuoyue would tell the whole story, which meant that Joan of Arc, a silly girl, had been kept in the dark and didn't know what Shuoyue had secretly planned. She only thought that he was a messenger sent by the Clock Tower.
But his move at this moment to snatch the Holy Grail from the Red side clearly showed his position. Moreover, his two swords killed countless androids and even magicians in the fortress, and even almost affected the innocent residents of Tulifas. This was an act that Joan of Arc could never tolerate.
As Artoria thought, Joan of Arc questioned her "revelation" for the first time.
Is Shuoyue... really the key to saving this Holy Grail War as shown by the revelation?
"… Sorry, although I still have a lot to ask you, I must now go to the Red Square's garden and ask Shuoyue for clarification!"
After hurriedly throwing this sentence to Artoria, Jeanne quickened her pace and rushed towards the fortress.
"Oh, by the way, and thank you for that!"
Looking at the saint who disappeared from sight while thanking, Artoria smiled helplessly, and then her smile faded. She looked at a figure standing in the sky courtyard and became more and more convinced of her judgment.
Shuoyue Lord in this form is very dangerous.
But they are the master and servant, and Shuoyue Lord is still holding three command seals in his hand...
Thinking to no avail, Daimao sighed helplessly and also turned into a spirit and rushed towards the Holy Grail.
I hope I can trust you, Shuoyue Lord.
So, the second round of battles for the Holy Grail began again.
Shakespeare, Andersen, and Dumas are not very useful in the regular Holy Grail War, but in this kind of faction war, their power is crucial, just like Kong Ming and Merlin in the FGO game, with or without them, the difficulty is completely different.
Even in the plot I set, Shabi is super important... Of course, I won't spoil it (laughs)
