So I take it that means you've found a way to defeat me, even though I've gotten used to this Holy Grail thing's power?

I know. The secret to why our attacks didn't reach you...
[k]
＠Santa Karna
...is that the Holy Grail's power drew out the protection you possessed in your legends.
[k]
＠Santa Karna
You may not have had it when you first materialized, but I'm sure the Holy Grail changed that.
[k]
＠Santa Karna
After all, that protection was[sr]something you always possessed.

One of your stories says you formed a contract with the gods that said you could never be slain during the day or night, by weapons of wood or stone, or by anything wet or dry.

Of course, some people say that story actually originated with the demon Namuci, even though you're frequently treated as the same being.

Now we know it wasn't simply some defensive power or a magical energy barrier that stopped our attacks from reaching you.

It is because of a trait ascribed to you in myth, which means we have ways to get around it.

I understand now the reason for that is they were weapons that were neither wood nor stone, neither wet nor dry.

Of course, we haven't forgotten that their attacks never quite reached you.
