Chapter 827 The Final Battle
Time flies, and it's February 1994. After long and meticulous preparations, you finally arrive at your fifth main mission. Following Rogrigg's death, Carol fills his place, maintaining the four-person team. This will be the most difficult main mission any reincarnator faces.
This also makes you sigh: in the face of fate, you are like a naive child, not knowing what is in the candy box; when the lock of fate's box is opened, have you ever heard its sound? (Note: This paragraph is partially adapted from "Red Dragon")
[Based on what you learned from the Ghost-Head Masked Man, as long as you can complete this final main quest, you can return to your own world and return to 1942.]
However, all reincarnators have a choice here: either enter the fifth main quest and face the final test; or choose to start over as a newbie and complete four more main quests. The advantage is that previously earned points and items can be partially retained. This is the third time Reef has faced this situation.
Honestly, you have a good opinion and impression of both of your current teammates. Although Jiao Shi initially plotted against you, his subsequent actions have been quite consistent with your aesthetic standards. If you can win this time, and the conditions permit, you wouldn't be wrong to sincerely invite them to become your partners.
As you might expect, Jiaoshi has made the decision to challenge this main quest, as he feels it will be difficult to find a team as strong and perfect as this one.
As the core of the team, you, though somewhat moody, are both wise and reliable, serving as both the team's brain trust and primary combat force. Ming Fuwu (a pseudonym for Miracle) is quiet but formidable, always silently completing his tasks. Carol's abilities are average, but she understands the plot of the samsara world and is an indispensable member of the team.
[But one thing that surprised you was that the timid Carol was actually determined to challenge this main quest. You saw trust in you in her eyes, which seemed to imply that after spending so much time together, she had completely accepted your spirit and will.]
[The next moment, through the Nightmare Mark, you receive a mission from this world.]
[Mission 1: Kill two or more Holy Grail War participants (including Masters and Heroic Spirits, excluding Reincarnations).]
[Task 17: Reduce the number of members of Team by two or more.]
[Task 3: Find a way to touch the Holy Grail.]
[The mission period is 15 natural days.]
[Due to the unique nature of World Quests, your special identity, 'Heroic Spirit', has been successfully established. You can view your own Heroic Spirit attributes.]
[Here we go again... Although you don't understand the meaning of "Holy Grail War" and "Heroic Spirits," when you see the words "Team 17" and "World Quest," you instantly realize that your final battle has arrived.]
Carol tells you with concern that this battle will be far more difficult than you imagine. Two hundred years ago, the three great mage families joined forces to summon the Holy Grail, a "universal wishing machine" that could grant any dream, in order to reach the "Root," the dream of all magicians.
However, only a Master and Servant can possess this power. Therefore, an unwritten pact is made, with seven magicians, each leading their summoned Heroic Spirits, to engage in a battle for the ownership of the Holy Grail. The victor who survives will obtain the Holy Grail.
"What is the specific process of the Holy Grail War?" you inquired sharply.
According to Carol, approximately every sixty years, the spiritual energy within Fuyuki City's leylines accumulates to a sufficient level to support the Holy Grail's advent. After selecting the Master's magical power, the Greater Grail selects a suitable magus to become the Master and bestows the Mark of Omen upon them. Candidates must quickly begin preparations for the ritual to summon the Heroic Spirits.
[Three Command Seals will appear on the Master Candidate's body. They are a graphic composed of three strokes. Each stroke represents the right to exercise absolute command once, which can force the Heroic Spirit to execute the command.]
After summoning seven Heroic Spirits, the Master will sign a contract with them, allowing them to wage war against other Masters and Servants. The Holy Grail will then collect the souls of the Servants who died in battle, and only when it is full can it open the path to the 'Root'. In theory, all seven Heroic Spirits must die, as the Holy Grail needs their souls to be full.
[What surprised you greatly was that, unlike your mission, they were all magicians participating in this Holy Grail War.]
Your expression turns serious. Your teammates are all magicians, and you're the only Heroic Spirit. This means your other self is likely a Heroic Spirit as well. And you'll likely be fighting alone from the start.
【However, considering that you are still alive, those three Command Spells should not be able to control you, because they are used to control a dead Heroic Spirit.】
After asking Carol about every detail and learning all the background of this world, you chose to enter this world.
[You find yourself in a dark, unlit room. A young man with orange hair appears before you. A haphazardly drawn summoning circle lies beneath him. Nearby lie several corpses and a gagged little boy. The young man gazes at you with eager curiosity, demanding to know if you're the demon he summoned. You instantly recognize him as one of your kind.]
[Based on the physical features mentioned in Carol's profile, the other party should be Ryunosuke Uesugi from Fate/Zero, a serial killer.]
[The other person seems to have a strong interest in you, even acting like a fan. However, you ignore his attention and look at your Heroic Spirit panel first.]
[Heroic Spirit Name: Zhou Ning (Hannibal Barrett)]
[Class: Caster]
[Attributes: Chaotic Evil.]
【Source: The Silence of the Lambs/Jojo Gospel】
[Strength: B+; Durability: A-; Agility: B-; Magic: C; Luck: A+, Noble Phantasm: A]
[Class Skills: Field Construction/Item Making.]
[Inherent skills: Miracles in you; Artistic Aesthetics; Cooking; Brainwashing.]
You fell silent. I didn't expect you to be a caster, and this attribute seems a bit shabby.
Perhaps you seemed too silent and aloof, so Ryunosuke Uryuu then began to discuss his views on death and the significance of his artistic aesthetic. He explained that the child on the ground was the one he wanted to kill in order to summon a demon. You glanced at him in surprise; his mental state didn't seem ideal for cooperation. As for a magic power provider, you could seek cooperation from other magicians—miracle that you were heading this way. Yes, you might be the only Heroic Spirit to become his own Stand Servant.
A gun suddenly appeared in your hand, and without hesitation, you pulled the trigger at him. His boastful words came to an abrupt end, and he fell to the ground with a thud. You shook your head, looking at the terrified child beside you. You untied his ropes and gently patted his head. He must have been in pain, but he was safe now. May he have good luck in his future life and avoid bad luck.
[At this time, Miracle Yu you also broke through the door. Through communication with him, you learned that all the reincarnations who came to this world were without Heroic Spirits, but the magicians who possessed the Command Spell system meant that they could completely seize the Heroic Spirits of this world. This was actually very feasible for you.]
