[280] Collision

"It looks like we don't need to intervene," Arash and Enkidu were nearby.

In fact, they arrived not long after Alucard got here, but they didn't have the chance to take action until now.

It seemed Alucard was held back by that Saint!

"No," Enkidu said, stepping forward.

"Are you going to make a move?" Arash smiled.

"Yes," Enkidu nodded. "It has been a pleasant time getting to know you, but it should come to an end here. Goodbye."

"Well, I'll have to make a move soon too. I'll probably use my 'trump card' this time." Arash smiled happily, showing no concern about leaving the scene after using his Noble Phantasm.

He had no expectations for the Holy Grail.

Someone like him responding to the Holy Grail's call was still a mystery to him until now.

Enkidu walked step by step toward the center of the battlefield, where the Holy Grail was located.

Now, a three-way standoff had formed.

Ozymandias's pyramid.

Gilgamesh in the sky.

Alucard, with a crimson glow, strolling around.

A confrontation between the three parties.

In the middle was Saint Martha, and the Holy Grail.

Enkidu was undoubtedly the one who could break the current deadlock.

He had something he hadn't told anyone until now, but even if he didn't say it, someone would know—Gilgamesh.

The so-called Holy Grail.

The skill of fulfilling wishes.

Enkidu possessed it too.

As long as he had enough magical energy, he could fulfill someone else's wish. However, he had never mentioned this. He never told his Master or anyone else.

Gilgamesh knew about it probably because he had known for a long time. Only that.

It was that simple.

Many magus competing for the Holy Grail had never thought that Enkidu's Master, who set his sights on the Holy Grail, also possessed this ability.

...

"Hmph—hahaha—"

Suddenly, Alucardburst into laughter—

He laughed heartily at the sudden turn of events— the next moment, he dug out his own heart!

And completely crushed it!

He hated suicide!

Moreover, his feelings toward those who committed suicide were only disgust.

So, he wouldn't commit suicide; he only expected others to send him to the grave. However, he was an undead. Occasionally, such things could still be done.

Die a little.

Once resurrected, he would have completely disappeared.

The binding of Martha's spells had completely disappeared!

"Unlocked? The spell's binding?" Martha said in surprise, looking at Alucard, who took a few steps forward.

"Of course! Originally, I wanted to play with you a bit, but it seems unnecessary now." Alucard looked at the pyramid, the king in the sky, and then glanced behind him.

"It seems... everyone is here. The participants in this Holy Grail War have all gathered. So—let me end this game!"

"No, wait a moment before that," A voice came along with footsteps.

Wearing a white robe with long green hair, the enchanting Enkidu approached, smiling. He looked up at the sky and said, "Gil."

"Enkidu..."

Gilgamesh chuckled.

"It seems you've made a decision, to obstruct my decision!" Gilgamesh said with a smile. "Otherwise, how could spell bind you! Alright—let's begin!"

Gilgamesh spoke, and a cylindrical sword appeared in his hand.

"Awaken! Ea!"

Enkidu smiled, and around the ruins, tender sprouts emerged. "Rider, take action. Bring the Holy Grail here."

"Haha," Ozymandias laughed. "Did you finally wake up a bit this time? That's right, this thing should have been in my hands long ago. If it had happened a bit earlier, so many things wouldn't have occurred!"

Although... the result was good.

Otherwise, DIO would have undoubtedly entered his Noble Phantasm, his pyramid. Even facing DIO's abilities, Ozymandias would have found it troublesome, and there was a possibility of losing carelessly.

But now—

DIO's abilities had fallen into his hands.

And now, the Holy Grail was about to fall into his hands.

It could be said that Barthomeloi Lorelei's plan had, so far, the biggest winner: Ozymandias!

Bang, bang, bang—

Alucard grinned and pulled the trigger, shooting at the Sphinxes preparing to push the Holy Grail forward. He didn't care about what others thought.

Those people preparing to use Noble Phantasms had nothing to do with him!

Since he couldn't be killed, so... the only thing to do now was simple.

To stop Rider!

In the imminent bombardment!

Splat—

The next moment, Alucard's entire upper body exploded, turning into countless blood splatters.

Arash, holding his bow, said with a smile, "Sorry, I couldn't just stand by, could I?"

The next moment, he turned and ran.

Although he didn't know if it could reach him, it was better to run just in case.

"Enuma Elish———————!"

"Enuma Elish————————!"

These were two attacks with exactly the same Noble Phantasm name.

Several days had passed since the Holy Grail War began, and this kind of collision appeared again here.

A spear piercing through heaven and earth, tearing apart everything in its path.

The walls of the great temple of Ozymandias, capable of withstanding attacks from anti-army Noble Phantasms, also showed one crack after another. However... they were quickly repaired, constantly cycling between destruction and regeneration.

The earth completely tore apart.

Alucard was also torn apart in such an attack, turned into a downpour of blood.

Unnoticed by anyone.

The Holy Grail disappeared.

Disappearing along with it was a person...

Saint Martha—

"Ah, finally dodged it," Martha, who had quietly hidden in Rider's great temple, sighed softly. "It was really close. It was so intense; if I hadn't hidden in here, I would probably have returned by now... back to the Throne of Heroes..."

"Haha, you really have the courage, Ruler!" At this moment, RiderI's voice came through.
