Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

The Holy Grail was just something Iskandar needed to have a second life, but it would be too embarrassing if he was cheated because of needing the Holy Grail.

As Mo Li changed the subject, the others simply looked at the servants. After all, judging from the current situation, they were the protagonists.

Spearman Diarmuid spoke first, "My challenge is simple. Challenge me with force and fight a battle of honor. In terms of martial arts, I am confident that I am no less capable than anyone here."

Altria asked, "Before that, I'd like to know what the criteria are for determining victory or defeat? It's difficult for us to fight without causing injury to our opponent."

"We have already made preparations for this, Medea. Send the things to them."

Medea pulled out several amulets and distributed them to the Heroic Spirits. "The magical power contained within creates a protective shield that will ensure your survival even if attacked by a Noble Phantasm. If you're certain you can't withstand the opponent's attack, simply activate the amulet. However, activating the shield will mean you've surrendered."

Gilgamesh played with the amulet in his hand and said, "This is quite interesting, but I don't think you can challenge me. So I won't set any levels. I will just challenge your little game with all my might."

Treating other people's challenges as mini-games was truly outrageous, and immediately drew the angry stares of a group of heroes. This guy didn't take them seriously at all.

Even Romani was speechless when he saw Gilgamesh's behavior of attracting hatred.

Mo Li said, "By the way, the Holy Grail doesn't necessarily require you to die in battle to unlock its magic power. Strictly speaking, it only requires sufficient magic power. It doesn't necessarily require the death of five Heroic Spirits. So, as long as there's enough magic power, all seven Heroic Spirits can survive together. However, the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City is far from sufficient to provide such a huge supply of magic power, so it requires the death of at least five Servants in battle to activate it."

Kotomine Kirei was a little surprised: "Doesn't the Holy Grail War necessarily require dead Servants?"

Mo Li said, "Well, the Holy Grail obtained by the victor of the Holy Grail War is actually just a device to preserve the souls of deceased Servants. It also stabilizes the magical channel between the Heavenly Grail and the living world, and is necessary equipment for achieving the third magic. As long as there is sufficient magic power, it can be activated. Under normal circumstances, the souls of the Servants kept in the Holy Grail will be converted into magic power."

Mo Li is not talking nonsense. During the fourth war, only Ainz and Shining were left, and the Holy Grail started to spit out black mud. In the remake of the fifth war, Ainz was not dead, Red A was pretending to be dead, and Kojiro was still guarding the mountain gate, but the Holy Grail had already started to spit out black mud.

Moreover, in the Fate/a world line where Jeanne of Arc exists, Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada simply entered the Holy Grail after grabbing it. Not long after, Amakusa made a wish directly, and the Heroic Spirits were not all dead at that time.

It simply depends on the amount of magic power.

If servants must die to accumulate magic power, then according to the setting, the death of Hero King Gilgamesh can be equivalent to several servants, conservatively speaking, at least 3, so if this guy leaves the stage, three more Heroic Spirits can survive.

Moreover, the Holy Grail can be forcibly activated. Even if the magic power is not enough to kill all the servants, if it is just a small-scale wish, that is, a wish that does not require changing the world, it can be realized by forcibly activating the Holy Grail.

The number of Heroic Spirits who can survive in the end depends entirely on their own wishes, the wishes of their Master, and the amount of magic power of the Holy Grail at that time. There is no need to fight until only the last one is left. The Servants are just power banks for the Holy Grail.

Of course, in a normal Holy Grail War, five servants will usually die, but it is also fine if all seven go in. It all depends on what level of wish you need. If you ignore the huge world-level wishes, and judging from the performance of the carnival, it is completely possible for all servants not to die.

As for the Holy Grail itself, if five heroic spirits die in battle and are absorbed by the Holy Grail, it will begin to activate itself without anyone forcibly activating it.

You can refer to FZ and FZ linkage for this point. Both the performance and the explanation are very clear.

For the three great families, the main function of the Holy Grail is to explore the root through the hole opened by the servants' souls returning to the Throne of Heroes, and use magic power to fix the hole. A large amount of magic power will be obtained in the whole process. If you do not plan to target the root, this huge amount of magic power can only fulfill most of your wishes.

Diarmuid was moved by what he heard: "Will the souls of the fallen heroes be transformed into magic power? This is truly terrifying!"

Mo Li patiently explained, "You are not the original body. You are merely a small portion of the original body's true spirit that responded to the call. Consuming it will not affect your original body. If it directly devoured your original body's soul, then this Holy Grail War would have been ruined by the boss behind you long ago."

That's right, all servants are not their own original souls. Their original bodies are sitting high in Valhalla. Even Artoria's original body is still at the time when the Battle of Camlann just ended. What is here is just a little bit of true spiritual will.

Iskandar smiled and said, "That's pretty scary."

Irisviel suddenly looked at the Berserker Lancelot who was sitting quietly in the last seat. "Does that Berserker have a wish?"

Mo Li said calmly, "His wish has been fulfilled, Madam Irisviel. Kallen and I don't have any wishes that rely on the Holy Grail. Furthermore, Medea and Berserker Lancelot's wishes are also very simple. We are not participating in this Holy Grail War because what we want is not that exaggerated."

Hearing this, Irisviel sighed, "It's an all-powerful wish-granting machine, yet it's always disliked."

Mo Li shook his head slightly. "It's just a half-baked wishing machine. Since everyone is here now, I will first show you the contaminated Black Holy Grail. It lacks enough magic power to activate it even if I want to. At most, it can only tempt people. Who wants to come and see it?"

Kenneth said, "I want to see for myself that this small place can really give birth to something like [Law]. I believe it will be shocking enough."

Sora, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I also want to see the Holy Grail, Kayneth, I'll go with you."

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have regained his composure and said in a steady voice, "I also want to see this Holy Grail."

Gilgamesh said nonchalantly, "I have no interest in that half-baked wish-granting machine."

Iskandar said seriously, "I also want to see that universal wishing machine. You may not need it, but I really want to have a second life."

Altria said, "I want to go and see it too."

Diarmuid said, "My own wish does not require the Holy Grail, but for the safety of my lord, I must follow."

Kotomine Kirei had been thinking about this for a while, but finally gave up: "The Holy Grail is not necessary for me, Hassan. If you want to see the Holy Grail, go by yourself."

Hassan Baimao said in a muffled voice, "The Holy Grail was pointed out as an ominous object from the beginning. Even I wouldn't dare to trust it, but it is indeed necessary to meet it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered to Mo Li, "Um... Senior Mo, if it's the Third Dharma Heaven Cup, can it help us?"

"Obviously not. Don't overthink it. Your problems are far from being solved by a Third Law Heaven Cup."

Mo Li's words made Fujimaru Ritsuka a little disappointed.

Romani: "Since you want to see the Holy Grail, we won't bother you for now. Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, please be safe."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu responded at the same time: "Yeah."

Mo Li said, “Remember to receive the supplies the day after tomorrow.”

Romani: “Okay.”

Chaldea's communications were cut off.

Mo Li stood up and said, "Everyone, if you want to see the now contaminated Holy Grail, follow me."

The Holy Grail is in this big hole. Although it is hidden, Medea can make the Holy Grail appear.

Except for a few people, everyone followed closely behind, even Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu came.

Kotomine Kirei looked at Waver: "What? You came to participate in the Holy Grail War, but you won't go to see the Holy Grail?"

Waver was a little embarrassed: "I didn't come here for the Holy Grail..."

I can't say that I stole the teacher's relic and ran here in anger to prove myself. That would be so embarrassing.

Kotomine Kirei was stunned for a moment, then he felt amused: "Really? I thought that as a young man you would have great ambitions, but I didn't expect that even you don't need the Holy Grail. Don't you know what you want to wish for?"

Waver looked at the motionless Lancelot. "The universal wishing machine is great, but I haven't figured out my true wish. It's not so much that I don't know what I want, but rather that I'm not even sure what I want. Although I really want everyone's approval, when it comes to something as heavy as a wish, I really can't confirm it right now."

"Are you not even sure what you want? Haha." Kotomine Kirei saw a bit of his own past in Waver. He used to be quite confused.

"yes……"

Mo Li and his group came to the interior of the big cave.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, "I didn't expect this mountain to be empty."

Mo Li said, "For the Holy Grail, hollowing out a mountain as a hiding place is normal. Medea, summon the Holy Grail."

"Okay, okay, summoning." Medea waved her staff, and without any chanting, a large amount of magic power surged, and she began to summon the Holy Grail hidden in this area.

Hiding the Holy Grail also involves space magic. Even if ordinary people happen to break into the void by chance, they will never be able to see the Holy Grail.
