Chapter 201 Ultimate Melee!
"What's going on here?!"
Upon seeing the nine Servants who suddenly appeared before them, the remaining members of both the red and black sides couldn't help but gasp.
This scene is far too abnormal.
Neither the Red nor the Black side can accept this.
Meanwhile, Shirou Kotomine, the one who started it all, had a big smile on his face.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He had always wanted to see what kind of expressions these people would have when their former comrades reappeared before them in this way.
He saw it at that moment.
The mixture of astonishment, lingering fear, and dread on that expression gave Shirou Kotomine a particular sense of pleasure.
"As I said before, I am a magician."
"I am very good at manipulating spirits. I can absorb spirits and make them my own, and I can also receive the power and abilities of spirits."
"So for me, what I can gain from the Holy Grail War is not just the Holy Grail itself."
Kotomine Shirou explained with a smile.
Meanwhile, the red and black teams opposite him were utterly shocked.
Even Karna, who was usually calm and unperturbed by honor or disgrace, couldn't help but frown.
Clearly, they all recognized Shirou Kotomine's strength.
And the situation they would face next.
Four against ten!
This is also difficult for them to deal with.
After all, those who can become Servants usually have some trump cards, not to mention Noble Phantasms, which are called ace cards.
In this situation, the harm caused by two Servants joining forces is far more than just 1+1=2.
Here, 1+1 is far greater than 2.
And this is still in terms of Noble Phantasms.
In reality, the vast majority of Servants are outstanding individuals who have experienced countless battlefields and overcome numerous dangers.
If these people work together, they can quickly become familiar with each other and create wonderful teamwork.
Therefore, with a four-on-ten situation, the current situation is very unfavorable for both Red and Black.
Therefore, upon seeing this scene, the Masters of both the Red and Black sides turned extremely pale.
They never imagined that a monster like Shirou Kotomine would appear in this Holy Grail War.
He can actually control Servants.
And they will harness the power of the followers for their own use.
This was quite surprising to both Fiore and Shishi Jie Li, who were also magicians.
"Well, that's my explanation."
"I wonder if you are all satisfied?"
Kotomine Shirou said with a smile.
Although Shirou Kotomine was putting on a gentlemanly demeanor at this moment, his speech and behavior were very elegant.
But in the eyes of their rivals Fiore and Kairi Shishigaki, Shirou Kotomine brought them only endless threats and fear.
The Holy Grail War has changed dramatically since then.
Everything was just beginning.
Tonight is just the first collective clash between the red and black sides in this Holy Grail War.
But it escalated directly to a decisive battle.
That's incredibly fast.
There are countless conspiracies and schemes surrounding this Holy Grail War, including a seventy-year-long plan and expectation of the two leaders of the Red and Black sides.
But all of this vanished in an instant.
"So, are you also a participant in the Holy Grail War?"
Although she already had a guess in her mind, Fiore still asked.
"That's right!"
Kotomine Shirou smiled and nodded.
"Although I was not invited by you, I still came to participate in this Holy Grail War."
"I also have some expectations for this Holy Grail War, after all, it's an omnipotent wish-granting machine!"
"Who could remain unmoved?"
Unlike previous Holy Grail Wars, this Holy Grail War involves a very concentrated group of participants.
Overall, it's just the Yggdrasil family and the Magic Association; there's no room for outside magicians to participate.
However, the pool of participants in the official Holy Grail War is not so narrow.
The Holy Grail Wars, the Mage's Association, the Church of Christ, and even the intrusion of foreign magicians.
It's actually easier to obtain the qualification to participate in the proper Holy Grail War.
"It seems we can only become enemies."
Fiore shook her head helplessly.
This situation is dangerous for both sides.
Especially the Black side.
At this point, Chiron was the only Black player still capable of fighting.
The red team still has at least three players.
Even though their chances of winning were now so slim as to be almost nonexistent, Fiore still wanted to take a gamble.
For their own future.
Fiore's legs are unable to walk.
She can only move around using a wheelchair.
But this is not because she suffered any incurable injury.
This is a backlash from her magical talent.
Fiore has a strong talent for magic; her talent in magic is undoubtedly the strongest in the Yggdrasil family.
However, the magic loop in her legs underwent a strange change.
As a result, she lost her ability to move.
To cure her, the magic loops in her legs need to be removed.
That would mean she could no longer be a magician.
Therefore, for her, becoming a magician and walking freely are mutually exclusive choices.
This is a multiple-choice question.
This has always been the case throughout her life.
But the Holy Grail brought her an opportunity.
The opportunity to turn a single-choice question into a multiple-choice question.
This opportunity was extremely important to Fiore.
So no matter how slim the chance, she had to seize it.
Faced with Fiore's declaration of war, Shishikatsu Kairi turned his gaze to his Servant Mordred.
What do you think, Saber?
"Of course it's a fight! I have no habit of surrendering!"
Mordred smiled dismissively.
Although they are currently outnumbered.
But Mordred, as a rebellious knight, naturally had to fight to the very end.
After all, her dream was to become a queen!
There is no reason for a king to surrender.
"Then let's fight!"
In this regard, Lion's Demise completely gave Mordred the right to choose.
They trusted each other completely.
"That's right, it's time to fight!"
Faced with this dangerous situation, Mordred couldn't help but feel excited.
She turned to look at the two people beside her, Achilles and Karna.
"And you? Are you going to surrender?"
"Hmph, you don't need to provoke me, I still won't surrender."
Achilles glared at Mordred with annoyance and forcefully retorted.
He saw right through Mordred's provocation.
Her meaning was far too obvious.
Moreover, Achilles saw this as an insult to him.
The reason he chose to provoke him was because Mordred thought he might surrender, right?
As a renowned hero, how could he possibly surrender?
"Hmph, I'll leave you for now. After I defeat them all, I'll personally finish you off."
Achilles warned earnestly.
"Then I'll be waiting for you."
Mordred responded nonchalantly.
Then she turned to look at Karna on the other side.
"And you?"
"My Master did not give me the order to surrender, so I will fight on until he wakes up."
Karna responded calmly.
Aside from his high mana consumption, Karna is a perfect Servant.
Extremely powerful!
Furthermore, they are very considerate of their Master and will perfectly obey their Master's commands.
Just like right now.
Even though the situation is clearly dangerous for him now.
But Karna remained unconcerned.
Let alone four against ten.
Even if he were to fight ten against one, Karna would not show the slightest emotion on his face.
"I see. It seems you've already made your decision."
Seeing that all four Servants from both the red and black sides had decided to continue fighting, Shirou Kotomine smiled and nodded.
This situation was not unexpected by Shirou Kotomine.
After all, he never expected Achilles and his men to give up the fight and surrender.
They were all great heroes who had already died.
Such a person is incapable of surrendering.
After all, they have only temporarily returned to the world as Servants, and they are not afraid of death.
And isn't surrendering all about surviving?
Therefore, the followers will not surrender.
Of course, there are also special cases like Heroic Spirit Emiya.
However, Emiya's surrender was not for the sake of survival, but to advance his plans, which were part of his overall strategy.
This certainly cannot be considered a surrender.
In short, Shirou Kotomine never expected the other side to surrender.
He was just trying his best to appear magnanimous.
This was also preparation for him to subdue these four guys later.
"Now that both sides have made their decisions, let's get into battle mode."
"Let's end this Holy Grail War tonight."
"I can't breathe!" Shirou Kotomine declared in a high-pitched voice.
He then said to Fiore and Kairi, "I sincerely advise you two to retreat and leave this battlefield immediately, after all, this is not a battle between two Servants."
"This is an ultimate melee between fourteen Servants!"
"Such a battle has never occurred since the birth of the Holy Grail War, so even I don't know what will happen."
Kotomine Shirou advised.
This comes from his heart.
After all, even he had never seen such a situation before.
But it just appeared out of nowhere.
A chaotic battle involving fourteen Servants, an ultimate battle of four against ten.
Although his side had ten men, Kotomine Shirou dared not relax in the slightest, because even though his side had the numerical advantage, he did not believe that victory was certain if the battle continued like this.
Although there are only four people, all four remaining members of the red and black teams are formidable opponents.
In fact, the remaining four are all among the top five in terms of strength in this Holy Grail War.
Of the ten who died, only Vlad III and Siegfried possessed the strength of the top five.
Of course, before the Hanging Gardens were destroyed, Semiramis was also among the top five in strength, and was even a Servant of exceptional rank.
But without the Hanging Gardens, her strength would drop.
If they were merely first-rate Servants, that would be fine.
The key is Karna and Achilles, two exceptionally powerful Servants.
If we exclude other exceptionally powerful Servants, even if all the remaining Servants join forces, these two have the strength to turn the tide single-handedly.
Those two are the key.
Facing these two guys, Shirou Kotomine dared not relax in the slightest.
Even Shirou Kotomine could make a mistake if he's not careful.
"So I need to give it my all."
Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
Then a flame flowed out of his body and stopped beside him, transforming into the appearance of Tomoe Gozen.
At times like these, Tomoe Gozen's help is still needed.
After all, with Shirou Kotomine by her side, Tomoe Gozen now possessed strength comparable to Achilles and Karna.
Her presence was extremely important to this battle.
Of course, there were other exceptionally powerful combatants around Kotomine Shirou at this time.
For example, Vlad III standing on the ground.
But Shirou Kotomine has other plans for him.
Shirou Kotomine extended his palm and pointed it in the direction where Vlad III was.
As the magic was absorbed, Vlad III's figure quickly transformed into magic and merged into Shirou Kotomine's body.
At this moment, Vlad III's power was completely absorbed by Kotomine Shirou.
At that moment, a powerful force began to expand from within Kotomine Shirou's body.
Shirou Kotomine could clearly feel that his power was constantly increasing.
The Ghost General Who Protects the Nation.
This was an inherent skill of Vlad III.
When he stands on his own territory, his strength will be greatly enhanced.
It was precisely through this power that he was able to be compared to Karna and Achilles.
At this moment, this ability appeared in Shirou Kotomine.
As a result, Shirou Kotomine's power began to expand continuously.
That was a power that even surprised Shirou Kotomine himself.
Slowly opening his closed eyes, Shirou Kotomine gradually awoke from his experience of power.
"As I said before, I can receive their power."
"Just like now, I have received Vlad III's power, and gained his skills and Noble Phantasms. This is my ability."
"See? This is my true strength."
Pointing his spear at the four people opposite him, Shirou Kotomine spoke earnestly.
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, Achilles and the other three became alert.
They probably all knew just how powerful Vlad III was, standing on the ground.
And this is how he was completely accepted by Shirou Kotomine.
This is exactly 1+1=2!
Although they haven't fought yet, all four of them can foresee how troublesome Kotomine Shirou will be.
Looking at the expressions of Achilles and the other three, Shirou Kotomine smiled slightly.
At this point, the remaining Masters from both the Red and Black sides had already evacuated the vicinity.
Only Shirou Kotomine and his Servants remained.
"It seems you're ready. Let's begin our battle!"
"Let the great battle begin!"
With Shirou Kotomine's announcement, the Servants, who were already poised to attack, immediately charged towards their opponent, and a great battle began.
In the blink of an eye, the violent shockwave began to spread outwards.
Explosions continued to occur.
The fluctuations of magic in this area are becoming increasingly rapid.
In this battle, no one held back; everyone gave it their all.
Seeing the chaotic battle unfold, Shirou Kotomine smiled slightly before turning his gaze to his first target.
That was Mordred, the rebellious knight!
