What the hell is this?
Fang Zheng was also shocked when he saw the beam of light coming out from the floating castle. But what puzzled him was that the beam of light did not seem to be used to destroy the entire castle. On the contrary, it seemed to be pulling something...
“Boom boom boom…”
Then, a huge white sphere slowly appeared from behind the castle of the Thousand Worlds Tree and flew towards the floating city. That was the core of this Holy Grail War and the key to everything.
Greater Holy Grail.
Oh my god, there is such a cool thing?
Seeing this, even Fang Zheng was dumbfounded. There was no such thing in the previous Holy Grail Wars. Now, you guys are actually coming here to grab the Greater Holy Grail? What the hell is this... Wait, I can't let you take this thing away from me!
"Mr. Fang Zheng, can you hear me?"
At this moment, Fiore's voice suddenly rang in Fang Zheng's ears. Hearing Fiore's magic communication, Fang Zheng also responded hurriedly.
"I can hear you. What happened? Miss Fiore?"
"The enemy's ASSASSIN has raided the castle and is trying to take the Holy Grail! Please come back and support us immediately!"
"What about the others?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fiore was silent for a moment before answering in a low voice.
"RIDER and BERSERKER have disappeared in the attack of Red Berserker just now... Uncle Danic, Lancer, Caster and Archer have gone to the sky garden to try to stop the other party's actions. We need your help..."
This is really bad luck.
Facing Fiore's answer, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. It's not that he hadn't thought that his servants would retire, but he didn't expect two of them to retire at once. What's more ironic is that they were killed by the Red Berserker that he had captured... So he said at the beginning that traitors are not to be trusted!
"Got it. I'll go to the Sky Courtyard."
Fang Zheng cut off the communication with Fiore, then he raised his head and looked at the aerial fortress floating in the sky in the distance.
Although Alaya has already been chosen... However, destiny is something that should be controlled by oneself!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng raised his hand and grasped the key from the void.
"Unseal the Lord, open."
“Swish!”
The space door opened quickly, and then Fang Zheng looked around, and then walked into the hole in front of him.
The next moment, the originally cold and silent city wall turned into a deep corridor shrouded in warm lights. Fang Zheng looked left and right and quickly determined the direction.
"Over there?"
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the end of the corridor, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, then he clenched the two swords in his hands and slowly walked towards that end.
When Fang Zheng reached the end of the corridor, he saw an android holding up his weapon and confronting his companion. In front of him, another android was pouncing on his companion like a wild beast. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the android's neck tightly, then opened his mouth and bit down on the prey in front of him.
"Bang!!"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng quickly raised the silver-white dagger in his hand and pulled the trigger. A burst of light bullets whizzed out, directly knocking the strange android away. But to Fang Zheng's surprise, the android did not stop moving. On the contrary, his body rotated 90 degrees at a strange angle, and then used his hands and feet to pounce on the prey in front of him like a centipede.
What is going on here?
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng frowned, then he summoned a pitch-black sword and swung it violently. With the roaring flames, the next moment the strange man-made man was swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.
"Master Fang Zheng."
At this moment, the attacked android also stood up and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.
"What on earth happened?"
While asking the android in front of him, Fang Zheng looked around. It can be seen that there has been a fierce battle here, and the bodies of puppets and androids are everywhere, but the scene is a little different from what Fang Zheng expected. Originally, according to reason, the puppets and androids are soldiers of the Thousand World Tree, but from the current situation, it seems more like the two sides are killing each other...
"It's like this, Lord Fang Zheng. We will follow Lord Danik to the battlefield, and then..."
And this android quickly explained what happened to Fang Zheng. After the red team's ASSASSIN used the floating fortress to seize the Holy Grail, Danic, who realized that something was wrong, took Lancer, Archer, Caster and the android army to break into the fortress and try to take back the Holy Grail.
As a matter of course, they were blocked by the Red Servants, but what no one expected was that since the Hanging Gardens were not considered part of Romania, Vlad III, who lost the bonus of his own territory, became much weaker. Before, he could fight with Karna and had the upper hand, but after losing the bonus, Vlad III, relying on his original strength, was naturally no match for Karna and was beaten back step by step.
Under such circumstances, Danic, despite Vlad III's objections, forcibly used the Command Seals to activate his Noble Phantasm "Inheritance of Blood", turning Vlad III into a berserk vampire. Not only that, he also used two other Command Seals to order "to stay alive until the Greater Holy Grail is captured" and "to engrave his soul into Vlad III's body", causing Danic's soul to merge with Vlad III.
After going berserk, Vlad III became even more powerful. Not only was he able to fight Karna to a draw, he even transformed the army of androids he brought with him into vampire's followers. Seeing that things were not going well, the other servants temporarily formed a united front and began to work together to deal with Vlad III.
As for this artificial person, she was one of the small team that was almost wiped out by Vlad III during the retreat. It must be said that she was lucky to be alive. Of course, if Fang Zheng had arrived a few minutes later, it would have been hard to say.
"There's actually this kind of trick. Danik is really hardworking."
After hearing the android's retelling, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that Danic's brain was really useful. Although the Command Spells such as "Keep alive until you obtain the Holy Grail" had their time limit, they could guarantee the survivability of the Servant to the greatest extent in a short-term battle... Having said that, it seemed that the Masters of the Fourth and Fifth Battles were a bit... Their Command Spells... were basically useless except for proving that they were the Masters and initiating teleportation.
"Where did they go?"
"there."
The android stretched out his hand and pointed to the passage on the other side, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"I see. You go back to the castle immediately and report the whole incident to Miss Fiore. Let her know how she handles it. I'll go check out the situation."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned around and ran to the other side of the corridor.
Following the corpses and bloodstains along the way, Fang Zheng soon arrived at the end of the corridor. When he walked into the hall, he immediately saw Vlad III fighting fiercely with his servants.
"Don't stand in my way, the Holy Grail belongs to me!!"
At this moment, Vlad III had completely lost his previous calm and steady appearance. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp canine wings, and a pair of bat-like wings spread out behind him. The Vlad III in front of him was no longer the hero who protected his country from the Turks, but had completely turned into the source of nightmares that spread throughout the world, a vampire.
Vlad III was surrounded by the Red Servants' ARCHER, LANCER and the Black Servants' ARCHER and CASTER. Although it was reasonable that the four Servants should be able to kill him, judging from the solemn expressions on the faces of these Servants, Vlad III, who had gone berserk and had the bonus of the Command Spell, was obviously not that easy to deal with.
What’s more…
“Woo…Aaaaaah!!”
Next to Vlad III, Fang Zheng also saw the figure of Red RIDER, but at this moment Achilles no longer had the bravery and courage he had on the battlefield before. On the contrary, his skin was ashen and his eyes were emitting bright red light. He looked... like a vampire.
"Can a Servant become a Familiar if he is bitten?"
Looking at Achilles who was clearly obeying the orders of the frenzied Vlad III, Fang Zheng also shook his head.
Although he knew that Vlad III had this treasure, he didn't expect it to be so powerful... Wait, if you have this ability, why do you let CASTER control the Red Berserker? Why don't you just go up and take a bite yourself... Oh, I guess he doesn't have an appetite.
Thinking of that muscular lunatic, Fang Zheng himself lost his appetite.
"Forget it, now that we are here, let's solve it quickly."
As Fang Zheng spoke, flames appeared out of thin air and turned into silver-white armor that covered Fang Zheng's body again. Then, Fang Zheng clenched his swords and rushed towards Vlad III.
