Chapter 1432: It isn't good to be greedy

*Snap!*

On the battlefield, a Dragon Tooth Warrior suddenly broke apart and fell to the ground.

Accompanied by a crack sound, each of the Dragon Tooth Warriors broke apart one after another as if it were a marionette doll that had lost its string.

It didn't take long for the Dragon Tooth Warriors on the entire battlefield to break apart, sprinkling large piles of bones on the ground.

Even the golems stopped moving as if they were out of power.

"This..?"

"Is it over?"

Magus and homunculus of Yggdmillennia looked at each other blankly and dumbfounded.

Fiore, who was unfolding her dress with four mechanical arms which were moving behind her, also let out a sigh of relief, but then her eyes were looking at the center of the battlefield where Haru was located.

Not only Fiore, but even Caules and Gordes, who had retreated to the rear area, also let out their sighs, slumped on the ground, losing all of their powers, shedding a cold sweat on their entire bodies, and felt tired.

"Ended..."

"Finally..."

The Magus and homunculus talked to each other, announcing the end of the war.

The war had ended, the Dragon Tooth Warriors had lost their power, which meant that Semiramis had withdrawn from the battlefield.

The group of golems had also stopped moving, which meant that Avicebron had lost.

In addition, there were no servants from the Red Faction, so that the battlefield returned to calm once again and everyone knew the war had ended.

However, no one was happy.

The reason was pretty simple and that was...

"We lost."

Standing in an unmanned corner of the battlefield, Darnic who had been watching the battle from the beginning to the end, murmured and had a gloomy expression on his face.

However, no one could deny Darnic's words since they were indeed lost.

The Black Faction was lost.

"Even if the Red Faction has retreated, the Holy Grail has been taken away..."

Darnic muttered to himself like this, feeling very frustrated, holding the scepter on his hand tightly.

"I have worked hard for 60 years to get where I am today..."

Unexpectedly, all these efforts turned useless since he had been defeated by the enemy who had returned from sixty years ago.

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

Until now, Darnic didn't know the reason why Shirou still existed in this world, however, he could at least understand one thing.

"Everything is because of that servant..."

Shirou, like Darnic, had been obsessed with the Holy Grail since the beginning of the Third Holy Grail War until now.

Darnic worked hard for 60 years to realize his wish.

Shirou also waited for 60 years for his own wish.

Shirou might have worked hard, however, Darnic was unwilling that the Holy Grail that he had been kept for the past 60 years be taken away like this!

"I must make a countermeasure as quickly as possible to take back the Holy Grail!"

Darnic didn't give up and he knew that there was a possibility to retrieve the Holy Grail back.

Although, after this battle, the combat power of the Black Faction had dropped to the bottom, leaving only three servants.

On the other hand, the enemy, except for the Berserker of Red who had lost, all the other six servants were still intact, and there was also Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who could be counted as a servant, so in conclusion, the Red Faction didn't lose their power at all in this Holy Grail War.

In addition, the servants on the Red Faction were ridiculously strong.

There was Karna, Achilles, and there was also a servant that was capable of summoning a hanging garden, and those three servants were capable of competing with Vlad III.

With all of those things, it was simply impossible for the Black Faction to reverse the situation.

However, the situation of the Black Faction wasn't entirely hopeless.

"There's Kasugano-kun..."

Darnic clenched his own hands while looking at the Command Spells which was located on the back of his hand.

During this battle, Darnic, who had been watching the war, clearly saw all the feats which were being performed by Haru.

Coming out unscathed from a powerful magic beam.

Breaking into the hanging garden alone.

After being transferred back to the battlefield, Haru was able to overwhelm two servants, Atalanta and Avicebron, then easily killed Avicebron.

The first human, Adam, whose body had absorbed a lot of beings from animals, birds, golems, Dragon Tooth Warriors, etc, increasing its size and enhanced its strength was defeated easily by Haru.

Haru was also capable of stopping both Karna and Raikou at the same time, but his action was too fast and Darnic didn't see that action.

All of these feats made Darnic see the hope of regaining the Holy Grail.

Not to mention, Raikou's combat power was strong enough to rival Karna, Chiron was also able to block Achilles, and Vlad III also had sufficient combat power, relying on these chips, it wasn't impossible to defeat the Red Faction and retrieve the Holy Grail.

"It's just, I didn't expect him to possess this level of power..."

Darnic had to admit that Haru's combat power might even match the top-level servant.

'Is it the power of his body?'

Darnic knew that Haru's charm was very high, that he could even tell that even Fiore, his niece, was also attracted to Haru, however, he didn't think too much at that time, but now, it was different.

When Darnic saw Haru's feat, he knew that Haru's body was special and it might be the reason why the Magic Association might be interested in Haru and caused Haru to hate the Clock Tower.

Unlike the Clock Tower, Darnic knew that Haru had a good impression of himself, however...

'What if I get his body?'

Such a thought appeared on his mind, Darnic could feel that if he owned Haru's body then everything would be possible, and if owned Haru's charm, then it would be possible for him to possess all the things that he had always wanted in his life.

And rather than giving such a delicious thing to the Magic Association, it was better to own Haru's body of his own.

Darnic thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible since he knew that Haru would sacrifice his own life for him, but he knew that plan was too simple and he decided to add a twist on his plan.

"Use his body as bait, then let the nobles of the Magic Association fight each other. At that time, even without relying on the power of the Holy Grail, my Yggdmillennia clan can easily destroy the Magic Association!"

However...

"His body is definitely mine..."

This was the only desire in Darnic's heart except to regain the Holy Grail back. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to achieve it.

"Wrong."

Such an innocent voice came to Darnic's ears.

"Onii-chan is mine, alright, uncle?"

When the voice fell...

*Stab!*

From his back to his chest.

"What..?!"

Darnic opened his eyes wide and pain didn't come until he realized that he couldn't be saved anymore.

In the silence, Darnic fell to the ground, with his eyes opened and looked unwilling. Behind him, a petite girl appeared quietly.

"Hehe."

Jack the Ripper smiled innocently. Her hand penetrated Darnic's chest and dug out his heart. She then disappeared without anyone noticing.

Then at the same time, a figure a few over and landed on the ground, the one who came here was Jeanne.

"Is it too late?" Jeanne was very annoyed at that moment.

The reason why Jeanne didn't join the decisive battle between Red Faction and Black Faction was that Jack the Ripper was killing a lot of people and ignoring the rules of the Holy Grail War.

Jeanne temporarily set aside her task to find the base of the Red Faction and went to stop Jack the Ripper.

However, during the process, a decisive battle between two factions suddenly occurred, which was why Jeanne came to a step late but also allowed Jack the Ripper to kill one of the masters smoothly.

"No, it can't go on like this."

Jeanne turned her head and looked in one direction, feeling a rapid heartbeat on her chest until she made up her mind.

"Sorry, Shinobu, I have to ask your lover for help."

"Sure, it isn't that kind of perverted help, right?"

"...."

Jeanne wasn't sure what to say for a moment.
