The Holy Grail exists in this world, but that Holy Grail is a Sacred Gear, full name [Holy Grail of the Netherworld], a Sacred Gear consisting of three Holy Grails as a set.
It is rumored to have been used at the Last Supper, to hold the blood of Jesus, an item that can overturn the natural order of life.
It possesses the power to reverse or twist life, allowing others to achieve a certain degree of immortality, healing, or resurrection of extinct beings.
Inaba Tsukiyo didn't know if this Holy Grail could achieve the effects of the [Holy Grail of the Netherworld], but the Holy Grail wasn't anything particularly rare to Alaya.
This Holy Grail was casually thrown to her by Alaya during one of their meetings. At the time, Inaba Tsukiyo, upon receiving the Holy Grail, even asked Alaya if it was really alright to give her such a valuable item.
Alaya replied that it wasn't anything particularly valuable; if she wanted, she could immediately make a room full of Holy Grails. To her, it was not a rare item at all.
This Holy Grail had always been thrown by Inaba Tsukiyo into Imaginary Space, and she didn't expect it to come in handy this time.
In order to participate in this Rating Game, Inaba Tsukiyo had already arranged with Mikazuki Munechika to bring the Holy Grail downstairs after hearing her signal.
Who was Grayfia? Even without having seen the Holy Grail with her own eyes, she didn't think the Holy Grail in Inaba Tsukiyo's hand was the Sacred Gear [Holy Grail of the Netherworld].
But the aura emanating from the Holy Grail couldn't be faked. Grayfia didn't even need to confirm its authenticity to be certain of the Holy Grail's genuineness.
This matter was simply too important to the Gremory Family, so much so that Rias's breaking off the engagement could be put aside.
Grayfia immediately returned to the Gremory Family at the fastest speed and informed the Gremory Family members about Inaba Tsukiyo and the Holy Grail.
In less than an hour, Rias received notification from the Gremory Family, agreeing to Inaba Tsukiyo's participation on Rias's side in the battle against Riser's Servants/Peerage Members.
If Rias lost to Riser this time, not only would Rias have to marry him, but Inaba Tsukiyo would also have to hand over the Holy Grail she possessed to the Gremory Family.
Rias, with a headache, lay on the sofa and spoke in distress, having dispelled the small magic circle she used to communicate with the Gremory Family.
"Why did things turn out this way? Although I initially wanted Tsukuyo to help me deal with that guy, why did even the Holy Grail appear?"
Rias felt that the situation had escalated beyond just her marrying Riser; the devils were more interested in the Holy Grail Inaba Tsukiyo possessed.
She had already made up her mind to resist until the very end, ready to give up everything, so why did things take such a turn?
"I never thought you, Tsukuyo, would even have the Holy Grail? Do you possess all the treasures in the world?"
Tachibana Koneko looked at Inaba Tsukiyo in surprise. Although her own Noble Phantasm was given by Inaba Tsukiyo, these Noble Phantasms were truly insignificant compared to the Holy Grail.
"All the treasures in the world? It's not that exaggerated. But... I do have quite a lot of things."
Patting Tachibana Koneko's head, Inaba Tsukiyo recalled her treasury and felt that Tachibana Koneko's words were actually not wrong.
Even if she didn't have all the world's treasures, she had a treasury behind her containing treasures and prototypes of Noble Phantasms, which in a way meant she possessed countless treasures.
However, this treasury couldn't be casually brought out. Not to mention the risk of being targeted, Inaba Tsukiyo's own strength was already sufficient, and she didn't need those flashy items.
"Although I'd also like to know why you have the Holy Grail, for now, let's think about how to deal with the upcoming Rating Game."
Rias interrupted Tachibana Koneko and Inaba Tsukiyo's conversation and said.
Humans with strength as great as Inaba Tsukiyo's were not unheard of. If humans could master their Noble Phantasms, it was not impossible for them to display strength even greater than that of high-ranking devils.
"I want to ask, did the people of your family agree to this game so quickly because they thought we had no chance of winning at all?"
Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help but ask curiously. Could it be that those devils looked down on humans so much that there was no possibility of Riser losing?
The reason she showed Grayfia her demonic eyes was also to tell her that she was not an ordinary human. If they still wanted to fight her after that, then Inaba Tsukiyo would be very disappointed in these devils.
"Although your strength, Tsukuyo, is indeed very formidable, those nobles don't believe Riser will lose. His immortal characteristic is simply too difficult to deal with."
Besides his immortality, Riser could also control flames, burning everything.
Furthermore, Inaba Tsukiyo appeared to be just an ordinary human on the surface, so those devils believed that even with Inaba Tsukiyo's participation, this game wouldn't change anything.
"Of course, there are ways to deal with an immortal body. After all, an immortal body isn't truly invincible. Even if the body is immortal, the spirit cannot regenerate infinitely like the body. As long as one can crush the opponent's spirit, one can win. However, to achieve this, one must have overwhelmingly powerful strength to repeatedly attack Riser, knocking him down again and again, thereby exhausting his spirit."
"..."
If Riser didn't have the ability to control flames, he would probably just be a durable punching bag, able to recover instantly from even the most severe physical injuries.
But no one present could achieve this. It would be different if Riser didn't have the ability to control flames, but precisely because he did, they couldn't crush his spirit.
"Oh, so that's it. Repeatedly attacking him to inflict heavy damage and constantly wearing down his spirit. Is that your strategy?"
