Chapter 6: The Mage Association Interferes Multiple Times in the Holy Grail War (Comprehensive Evaluation +2%)
...
[Tip: As the Holy Grail War has not completely ended, the Hunter will wait within the Starry Sky Relic for the Holy Grail World to conclude, and await the final evaluation.]
Seeing this series of prompts, Su Xiao felt a bit novel, but he wasn't particularly surprised. After all, his main mission this time wasn't fully completed, and needing to wait a moment before returning to Reincarnation Paradise was only reasonable.
Su Xiao showed little reaction, but Mask, far away in the canyon, had a considerable response. It was she who had snatched food from Su Xiao, gaining a large profit through a hidden mission.
"Wait, I..."
Before Mask could finish her sentence, she was enveloped by spatial force. When she regained her senses, she found herself in a stretch of starry sky. This place was somewhat similar to the Starry Sky Transfer Station. The river of stars below was magnificent, and a pitch-black chain stretched across the starry sky, shaking one's soul.
Mask gently rubbed the back of her head. She had just recovered from the sensation of teleportation when she noticed four pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Hello there."
Mask had already begun silently praying: 'He doesn't remember me, doesn't remember me, doesn't remember me. Please, don't remember me.'
"Mask."
"Ah~"
Mask let out a low groan, feeling as if ten thousand alpacas were trampling over her head.
"Besides you, there are two others. It seems one of you three took Sakura Matou."
Su Xiao's expression was very calm. It was all about relying on one's own abilities. He hadn't found Sakura Matou, so there was nothing to regret.
"..."
Mask spread her hands toward Su Xiao, noncommittal.
"It's all about relying on one's own abilities. No one would hold a grudge over something like this."
Su Xiao was about to light a cigarette when he realized the flame couldn't ignite here.
"You're right. Everyone relies on their own abilities. There's no need to hold a grudge over trivial matters."
"So, it really was you who took Sakura Matou."
Su Xiao suddenly shifted his gaze. Mask thought, 'Damn it,' and cursed inwardly: 'This guy is so sly.'
"It's not exactly that I took Sakura Matou. It was an old geezer from the Mage Association. After you flattened Ryuudou Temple, that old geezer's expression was especially interesting. The female demon he had placed such high hopes on clearly couldn't stop you, so he resorted to this desperate measure. For that childless old geezer, Sakura Matou is the apple of his eye. Speaking of which, what kind of grudge do you have with the Blood Gate that you'd tear into each other to that extent?"
"Who knows."
Su Xiao finally understood what had happened. This Holy Grail War had turned into a complete brawl, dragging in both the Mage Association and the Holy Church, forcing those behind-the-scenes manipulators to lose their composure.
As Su Xiao was pondering, two more Contractors were teleported here. Both were covered in blood and glaring at each other. One had a cold, sinister expression, like a venomous snake, with a small portion of his skull shattered. The other had his hands in his pockets, with a snake-fang-shaped dagger stuck in his head.
"I *****."
The cold man opened his mouth with a 'greeting' to several generations of the dagger man's female relatives. The dagger man just smiled, completely ignoring the cold man.
[Tip: The Holy Grail World has ended.]
[Tip: After participating in the Fifth Holy Grail War, you will not enter the Holy Grail World again.]
[Teleportation is about to begin.]
...
[Teleportation complete. The Hunter has returned to the Exclusive Room.]

PS: (The weather has turned cold recently, and Feiwen's cervical spondylosis has relapsed. It seems to be quite serious today, so I've only written two chapters. I hope all readers will understand. However, Feiwen will definitely adjust his condition as soon as possible.)
