Man and woman continued to the east, "so who sent you to help me" asked the woman, "I have no idea, maybe god, maybe me myself, it could be anyone" man replied though woman didn't believe him, there has to be something more. "You realize we are going on a dangerous quest? I am going for one of the Holy Grail's you know there will be many creatures trying to prevent us getting there" woman said suspiciously, still trying to figure out motives of the man.
"Yes I know that, there is seven holy grails yet all of them are full, that's the saying right?" he said, telling her that he understands the risk, since as saying tells us "all of them are full" meaning nobody managed to get to them. Though I have to say, that saying is old and there have been few people who managed to get to holy grail, three in total, but nobody knows about them.
There are seven holy grails, each different color and each giving another miracle, and each of them can sense danger, they can sense when someone is after them, so when that happens they sent their undead warriors.
"You wont tell me who sent you here, can you tell me why you do this? Is it money? Do you plan to betray me at the end? Though if you do, it would be stupid, just go for it yourself, you don't need me" asked woman bit worried, "my intentions are clear, I want to help you reach your goal, I want you to succeed.".
That is when their conversation is disturbed by someone far away. They are currently on a small road with field next to them, and on the field there is a stone statue that just spoke to them. "Here!" statue yelled. When they got close they realized its a statue of great Zhuge Liang, one of the greatest strategies of the entire human history, but also one of the two best strategist of China in his time, only being rivaled with notorious Sima Yi.
Statue of Zhuge Liang they look at right now, isn't actually a statue, but Grail's soldier. "I know who you are" said the statue, "I can help you, you can't continue your quest like that, you two are not ready yet" said Zhige Liang. "Who are you...no what are you?" said the man, "My name is Zhuge Liang, I am one of the most important people of my ages, I too needed the power of holy grail, but when I was close to getting it, I was killed. I needed it to save my dynasty, to fulfill dream of my friends, but I failed. I regret nothing more, now I am sealed like this, as a statue."
"Who sealed you?" asked the woman, "It was work of my greatest rival, Sima Yi, a worthless man, man with no honor. But I can help you win, I can help you win against monsters grail will sent against you. You, a man, I can see your sword, I believe you are the one who will fight, but with that sword you wont even be able to cut through them, do you see Oak behind you..." Zhuge Liang said, and as soon as man turned around, Zhuge Liang went for his head.
The man was lucky as Zhuge Liang didn't count that woman will do anything. Her good reflexes made her jump on Zhuge Liang, making him fall and miss his first strike. Though he managed to cut him on the chest.
Zhuge Liang seems frustrated because his plan didn't work because of their stupid luck and now he has to actually fight him. Man took his sword out of his sheets. Man uses a claymore sword, great for both slashes and poking, but pretty heavy. He also carries another sword that he didn't reveal yet, but through look of its sheets, Zhuge Liang cant figure out which sword it is.
Zhuge Liang uses Liu Bei's twin swords which were enough to start clashing with our man but were soon destroyed as they were no match for giant sword that claymore is. Zhuge Liang started running away, into the woods.
Man went into the woods but then he realized he stepped into yet another trap. He ran into pack of twelve wolves, six of which were attacking Zhuge Liang and six of who ran towards him. That didn't hurt Zhuge Liang as he is sentient, but still just a stone statue that doesn't feel pain.
As soon as it came close, man slashed one of the wolves, but rest of them managed to get to him, so he started punching them with his fists on which he has knuckledusters with spikes, so he managed to badly hurt two other wolves and get them off of him. When he stood up, other three wolves took few steps back, as they realized they were getting weaker. In that moment he realized that Zhuge Liang got a hold of yet another weapon, from yet one more of his friends, Serpent Spear of Zhang Fei...with it, he started poking him in the body while wolves were biting him. Man took a step back, poked hole through the skull of one of the wolves, and waited for Zhuge Liang's next attack. As soon as he struck, he grabbed the spear, and wrapped around it, pulling it and destroying it...but as soon as he did that, he turned around to fight the other two wolves, he was attacked by both, before he realized. One of the wolves got his skull crushed while the other managed to tear his left arm off. It was extremely painful but he just slashed wolf with his sword and killed it.
"That was pretty impressive, but are you sure you can continue?" Zhuge Liang asked. "Just come at me, I will destroy you!" Man replied, "Oh but that is not my role, come to the field when you are ready" Zhuge Liang said.
He turned his back and headed to the field again, but man jumped on him, starting to beat him in the head, trying to rip it off somehow, but Zhuge Liang threw him off of him and ran to the field where they met again in fifteen seconds.
When man went out of the woods, woman was terrified, scared and worried for him.
"Lets go, round three starts" man said, but as soon as he did, the mood changed. While he was talking to the statue, while he was getting torn by wolves, while he was getting poked by spear...he was smiling, but now he was serious, he will kill Zhuge Liang.
"She will get to that holy grail!!" man yelled, charging at Zhuge Liang who already has yet another weapon, a Green Dragon Crescent Blade from war saint Guan Yu.
Zhuge Liang waits for his attack and sucessfully dodges, then he raises his blade and starts circling around him, and at some point he strikes. Man was looking directly at the blade in order to block it, but when blade started going at him, it revealed the sun that Zhuge Liang was blocking with it, and sudden burst of light in his eyes made him not see the blade and take another hit. It is a miracle that he is still alive but its because Zhuge Liang is just a strategist, not a warrior, so none of his blows were fatal.
Next thing man did is he charged at him and yet again managed to broke Zhuge Liang's weapon, but now he also managed to cut through him, and cut his right arm. Zhuge Liang took out his last weapon he owns, his own weapon, his feather fan with which he managed to deflect two strikes but was unable to defend himself from the next blow, to which he fell and died.
Man was covered in bruises and was missing a arm, but when he turned to the woman he lightly smiled and decided to continue their journey. At first, woman was frustrated because he don't want to tell her his motives who must be big if he is willing to go through this several more times, but then she decided it doesn't matter as long as she gets to the grail.
"so are you not gonna tell me your name?" woman asked, "no" man answered, "okay then I will call you Gabriel", "Why Gabriel", " I wont tell you, but I will tell you my name, Sif"
