[226] Saint

"Ah, that Lancer really... hurts so much!" in a room. Ruler wrapped bandages around herself, wincing in pain.

She still had the ability to heal herself, and she could heal anything...

This was given to her by someone who wanted to reshape her personality into that of a gentle lady.

The staff, too... for healing...

"You can't just go into battle with your fists, right? Healing is enough for a saint."

That person often said so.

Even though that was the case, healing was still something she was not good at, and she preferred swinging her fists; the feeling of punching flesh was truly romantic for a woman!

"No... no, I am a saint, I am a saint, I am a saint..."

After a moment of self-hypnosis, she became slightly more like a saint...

As a Ruler, she had no wishes... more precisely, she did not desire the Holy Grail.

According to Martha, she had no desire for the so-called Holy Grail. In her eyes, the Holy Grail was just a container for the blood of the Master, not some third-rate magical product.

"But that Lancer is really strong..." Ruler sighed.

He didn't use any Noble Phantasms or anything, just ordinary attacks, but coupled with that unkillable nature of his... it was really troublesome.

If it came to a point where he wouldn't die, even with Ruler's authority, she doubted it would be of any use.

However, even if he was told to commit suicide...

Even Alucard himself didn't know how he would commit suicide!

No... it's not that he didn't know at all. If he wanted to commit suicide, there were two ways: one, killing himself hundreds of thousands of times. Two, releasing the River of Death, then digging out his own heart and crushing it...

"Well, first, let's get a better understanding of the Holy Grail War. After that... let's find other Masters and Servants when it gets dark..."

Watching the sky gradually turn a fish belly white, Martha shifted her gaze to the other side—

There were all the Fate manga, all the JOJO manga, all the Hellsing manga.

And the anime discs for JOJO parts one through three...

In fact, the production of JOJO part three had just been completed about a month ago, but the discs were already out.

Because...

To let these heroic spirits see a complete JOJO anime!

Kazuya had directly purchased the broadcasting rights for Tokyo TV, Nippon TV, and others for three days.

All 48 episodes of JOJO's Bizarre Adventure were broadcast in three days! After that, the BD was released immediately... Although it was said that there were no BDs in this era, it was still a three to four-tier downgrade to a lower-tier CD.

And—priority opening in the Egyptian battlefield...

Although it was chaotic in this area, so the sales were not great...

But, it was a preemptive sale before the Holy Grail War started.

After that... when Martha came back, she bought these from the trembling owner in the 24-hour specialty store.

"Sorry, I'll pay you back before the Holy Grail War ends... Lord, forgive me. Now, let's take a look at that Fate first..."

Although she said that, it was.

Looking at those muscular men in JOJO, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Lord, forgive me..."

She started watching JOJO's anime...

Time slowly passed during this process...

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The sky gradually darkened without them realizing it.

Martha had been sitting in front of the TV for more than fifteen hours!

With the roaring sound outside, Martha lifted her head, looked out the window, and said, "What? It's starting again! It's annoying—wait for me! I'll finish watching it, and whoever dares to cause trouble will get a good ORA ORA from me! That's right! ORA ORA is the real romance!"

Just right, she was not in a good mood now. After all, she just saw the protagonist of JOJO being brutally tortured by that Stand User called "Lover"!

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA——————"

At this moment, the voice came from the TV without interruption, attracting her over.

No matter how the Holy Grail War is going, let's finish watching JOJO first!

"So handsome!"

For thirty seconds, without interruption of ORA ORA, the iron-fist saint's eyes emitted a dazzling light—

"That's it! Well—"

Martha temporarily turned off the TV, picked up the staff beside her, and thought for a moment before throwing it away. "The romantic thing for a woman is ORA ORA! No need for a staff!"

So—this... Saint who came to hide her personality with a staff was now completely forgotten about it, and now she just wanted to find a Servant for a joyful ORA ORA!

...

Pushing time forward a bit...

Just as night fell—

An Assassin approached the direction of the Holy Church Cathedral...

Looking from a distance, Lehrman watched as Assassin disappeared, and he took a deep breath. "Go... since it's Assassin, kill as many as you can, whether it's the people of the Holy Church or Servants... the more killed, the better!"

This time, the organizer of the Holy Grail War was the prestigious Barthomeloi Faction, and the Holy Grail was also brought by them. They had no objections.

Including the purpose of the Holy Grail this time...

Now, they already had eight Servants, and there was no reason to lose.

That's right... eight.

Originally, a Master belonging to the Black faction joined them and was willing to offer his own curse, serving as a price, just hoping that Barthomeloi Lorelei could take the lead in transplanting the magic crest on him to someone else.

This person was none other than Matou Kariya.

The magic crest that had been passed down for hundreds of years... Although no one knew how many generations it had been since Matou Zouken died, one thing was certain: that thing was undoubtedly a high-level magic crest.

For magus who wanted this thing, it was estimated that it could fill the entire London, although it was a bit exaggerated. After all, all the magus in the world added together would probably not fill it...

If it were auctioned, even if there was a rejection of danger, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.

Especially for those nouveau riche magus.

Even if it meant bankrupting their families, it was worth it.

Because once they got it, it meant they were no longer nouveau riche, but had the foundation of a magical aristocracy...

This point was still important... just look at Barthomeloi Lorelei's attitude toward magus. She killed them after passing down for thirteen generations, and she killed them directly after seven generations.

You know, in the Clock Tower, passing down five generations has already made you a noble, and passing down seven generations has already been bragged about.

However, this was not enough for Barthomeloi Lorelei...

So, after the victory was already certain, what was needed next was achievements!

It didn't matter if that Servant died; as long as... they could kill those people from the Holy Church and more! The more killed, the better!
