Anyway, the guardian angel has disappeared, so no one can stop her now.

With that thought in mind, she couldn't wait to go to the King she admired.

This time, because of the torment of ten years of separation, and because she was no longer suppressed, she would no longer be a good girl like before. She didn't care about anyone else or the world; she wanted to possess her own king.

With that thought in mind, she ignored the huge hole that had appeared in the sky behind her and immediately prepared to fly towards Fuyuki City.

However, just as she was about to get up...

raging!

A ball of eerie blue flame appeared in mid-air, and Sajou Aika suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

Driven by instinct, the giant calamity dragon it had transformed into launched a defense, unleashing countless swirls of black mud, but these were cleaved in two by the azure sword light. Even Ayaka Sajou was astonished by this sight.

The next moment, she hurriedly increased her strength, broke free from the sword light, and exhaled dragon breath, knocking the figure in mid-air down.

She then looked down and saw that the person was indeed Wang Hassan, who had tracked her all the way here and intervened in time.

"Grand Servant, huh? What an annoying guy. Does he want the whole world to be against me? How irritating."

King Hassan leaned on his sword and looked up at the calamity dragon in the sky.

At this moment, he fully understood what was going on.

This world is indeed a place where Beasts are born. No wonder the Grand Spirit Origin is still within him, and he sensed his own destiny aura within this Calamity Dragon.

The beast of revelation.

The Dragon of Calamity...

Fate was guiding him to stop the evil dragon.

"Who are you? Are you also a Servant?"

Even the utterly despondent Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but show surprise when he saw King Hassan suddenly appear and actually block the attack of the Calamity Dragon. He never imagined that there would be such a Servant in this Holy Grail War.

"Without death there is no life; with death there is life."

King Hassan did not respond to Kiritsugu Emiya's question. His gaze remained fixed on the Calamity Dragon in mid-air, and facing the Calamity Dragon, he calmly uttered the words he knew best.

“You, the princess who has fallen into the dragon of calamity, who holds the principles of calamity, the companionship you speak of is not love, but the root of selfishness and destruction. This is why I have dedicated myself to this cause.”

"However, since the Fallen Beast is still the Root Princess, I must reveal my name."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep blue flame rose up, and golden feathers rained down from the sky.

At this moment, the area around King Hassan transformed into a secluded valley, directly isolating the spread of the black mud.

Then, the skeletal eyes, flickering with eerie blue flames, spoke calmly.

“From the deepest valleys, the darkest death rushes forth, carrying the principles of the crown. I am the Old Man of the Mountain, Hassan al-Sabah.”

"Today I wield the sword of destiny to strip you of your foundation."

"This is... Hassan?!"

Upon hearing his words, let alone what Ayaka Sajou felt, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was standing to the side, was already numb.

He glanced at the black-clad swordsman, who was over two meters tall and wielded a greatsword and shield made of skulls. He couldn't possibly think that this was Hassan.

However, that is indeed the case.

King Hassan sensed the aura of the Beast of Calamity in Ayaka Sajou's current state. Although it was much weaker than when she was Tiamat, it was still the Beast of Calamity.

That is why he appeared here, only to bestow upon him his destined death at the right time.

"Hey, are you kidding me? Kill me? Do you think a mere Grand Servant like you can do that? Why don't you bring the other six over here?"

Looking at the skeleton swordsman below who had appeared on his own and uttered a lot of words, Ayaka Sajou said with some annoyance, "But he's really a troublesome guy. I have no interest in what this world is like. All I look forward to is my king. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or I'll destroy you too."

"Although you have no intention of destruction, your very existence is the root of destruction."

In response to Sajou Ayaka's words, Wang Hassan looked up at the huge hole in the sky and simply said...

The enormous hole appeared simultaneously with the appearance of the Calamity Beast and cannot be closed by normal means unless it is allowed to pour out its calamity until it dries up, or the Calamity Dragon is defeated.

Although Aika Sajou isn't interested in this either, the reason she's able to come out now is because she's using the Beast's state, so she can't separate from it for a short time, which is why she's being targeted by King Hassan.

"It seems you have no intention of letting me go! You must destroy me, right?"

Sajou Aika narrowed her eyes, exuding an overwhelming aura of power.

"..."

However, King Hassan simply stood there quietly, leaning on his sword, his attitude self-evident.

Their great battle was about to erupt.

-

On the other side, the three Servants who were about to start a chaotic battle were now looking at the aura of calamity with grim expressions.

"Everything is really going wrong..."

Sensing this aura, Cú Chulainn, who most wanted to fight, reluctantly lowered his gun.

"How many times has this happened?"

He asked the other two.

"I can't remember anymore, but this Holy Grail War is definitely different from what I imagined."

King Lionheart also sheathed his sword.

"It's the scent of the beast, this is a big deal."

As a Servant who had been controlled by Goetia, he naturally recognized the aura of the Beast of Calamity.

At this point, internal strife is no longer an option.

"Seriously... why are there still dragons from the Book of Revelation appearing? Is it because God doesn't want us to have a proper fight?"

Cú Chulainn tapped his shoulder and said:

"You two think so too, right?"

Just moments ago, the three of them were brandishing weapons at each other, fighting for their respective beliefs.

If nothing unexpected happens, that should have been their last battle.

As heroes, they either kill Hercules together with Lionheart and then fight to the death, leaving one of them alive, or they are both defeated by Hercules and willingly submit to end the battle.

But that's assuming there's no human crisis, so the heroes can fight more recklessly.

But now...

Sensing the terrifying aura, Cú Chulainn looked at Hercules hurrying towards Ryudo-ji Temple and spoke without hesitation.

"Need any help? Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless in this kind of situation."

King Richard the Lionheart also picked up his sword and followed.

“That’s not someone you can fight alone; I also have an obligation to fight.”

Hearing that these two guys also wanted to help, Hercules nodded.

Thank you.

In situations like this, he wouldn't refuse help from others; even heroes would fight alongside him.

In that case, let's join hands and move forward together.

"So, that's how it is. I'm really sorry, Master."

Cú Chulainn scratched his head, then turned to look at the enormous red dragon above Ryudouji Temple, which seemed to have wandered into the wrong movie. He then sent a message to his Master, "Although I really want to help you win the battle, both my heroic intuition and my duty as a Heroic Spirit tell me that I must deal with that guy quickly, or the world will probably be doomed."

"I see... I understand."

Bazett's expression became subtle upon hearing his words.

Even now, she can still remember why she participated in the Holy Grail War.

It's simply a matter of the Law and Politics Department making its presence felt and then trying to find clues about Aozaki Touko.

What happened to me here?

He got scammed out of all his money right after getting off the plane, started working, and then met many legendary protagonists. He even saw the mythical Thunder Bull that could raze Fuyuki City to the ground. Now, has an apocalyptic dragon appeared?

Not long ago, she naively thought this was just a simple paid vacation. After all, while magicians are usually quite ignorant, they shouldn't be so ignorant as to act recklessly, especially since she was there to watch over things.

As for the result...

So the Holy Grail War is this dangerous?

She covered her head and couldn't help but think to herself.

By day, there was a giant thunder bull; by night, a red dragon. All of these were dangerous events that even she, the strongest seal executor who had completed numerous sealing missions, was not confident in resolving.

What kind of magician could come up with such a Holy Grail War?

Oh, it's that crazy woman, Aozaki Touko.

That's fine.

"What exactly is this...?"

On the other side, Luvia, Reines, and Gray, whose hearts were still hanging in suspense, were completely dead.

They looked at the red dragon's figure and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although I had a bad feeling about it, it felt quite surreal when it actually happened.

Especially Reines, she was starting to regret believing Aozaki Touko's nonsense. What did she mean by everything being part of her plan, just going through the motions, and in the end she'd bring Lovi back no matter what, and you and Sakura were just here to make up the numbers for a vacation?

But now that things have come to this point, she is no longer naive enough to think that she can still win, and there is no need to continue winning.

So she took out her phone and made a call. When she confirmed that Sakura was alright and was currently watching the broadcast of the giant red dragon with Matou Kariya, Reines breathed a sigh of relief.

She told Sakura not to come over and to stay in a safe place, saying she would be there soon, and then hung up the phone.

Richard I.

Subsequently, Reines took the initiative to contact her Servant.

"master".

"Go, go and fight too."
