Gilgamesh: You'd Better Be Really Good at Chess!
Especially for a heartless servant like Merlin.
"I can't understand why we can't win this Holy Grail War," Merlin sighed.
Chen Luo himself already possesses abundant magical power, so the buffs he bestows upon his Servants are equivalent to unleashing multiple Noble Phantasms in quick succession.
Among the 51 Command Seals, there are gold and silver ones. It's not unreasonable to count them as a total of 100 Noble Phantasms released during the Holy Grail War, right?
Merlin's Noble Phantasm is an amplifying one, so let Merlin activate his Noble Phantasm 99 times to buff Morgan, and then let Morgan transform into her Paradise Fairy form to use the Noble Phantasm.
Forget Fuyuki City, you could sink some small island!
"Since the Servant has disappeared, the Master's rights have expired, and I am unable to continue participating in the Holy Grail War. As agreed, I, Kirei Kotomine, request the Church to protect me." Father Kirei Kotomine stood in front of the church door and said to the priest in front of him.
"Accepted. In accordance with my responsibilities as a supervisor, I Risei Kotomine, will guarantee your personal safety. Alright, please come in." Risei Kotomine said immediately.
Kirei Kotomine followed the priest into the church.
"Father, is someone spying on this church?" Kirei Kotomine immediately after entering the church.
Kirei Kotomine and Risei Kotomine are father and son.
Kirei Kotomine is absolutely stunning this time.
"No. As a neutral zone, this place is guaranteed to be uninvaded, and any Master who interferes here will receive a warning from the Church," Risei Kotomine said.
"So that means it's safe here."
Risei Kotomine nodded.
"Just in case, don't let your guard down. Have someone stay here at all times," Kirei Kotomine said, turning to the empty bench.
"Understood." The next moment, a Black Mist flashed across the bench, and a black-clad servant appeared.
It was a Servant whose clothing style was quite similar to that of the deceased Assassin, and both wore a white skull mask.
The other party appeared in the church in a very open and brazen manner.
In fact, the Church of Christ was a neutral party acting as the overseer in previous Holy Grail War, but not this time.
Because the Holy Grail War caused immense damage and destruction, and in order to prevent the Holy Grail from falling into the hands of bad people...
Therefore, the Holy Church decided to join forces with the Tohsaka family, using the role of Overseer to help Tohsaka Tokiomi achieve victory and obtain the Holy Grail.
This is why Kirei Kotomine became Tohsaka Tokiomi's apprentice.
Simply put, someone cheated.
"How many people were monitoring the Tohsaka family's situation at the time?" Kirei Kotomine asked.
"I have confirmed that there are three different sources of familiars," Assassin replied.
"Two are missing? I originally wanted all the Servants to see it," Kirei Kotomine said.
"Given the current situation, since it's the house of the Big Three, isn't it the Master's natural strategy?"
A dozen or so rows behind Kirei Kotomine suddenly saw another black-clad Servant appear.
"An opponent who can't even be bothered to make this much preparation won't be careful enough to be wary of us Aussie."
The third assassin appears.
"Behind the Master who has lowered his guard because he thinks the Assassin has been killed."
The fourth one...
"We, the Shadow Spirits, will become true shadows."
More black assassins appeared in the church, numbering in the dozens. They spoke together, and the scene looked incredibly cool.
"Clang!" The Night Bell rang for some unknown reason.
The handsome and confident assassins in their respective positions within the church all broke down and trembled.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious." After sending the identity card he had just summoned back to Yvette through the Collective Network, Chen Luo sat down on a bench and laughed.
"What's going on? You all seem very afraid of this bell?" Kirei Kotomine asked, frowning.
This has happened several times already.
Moreover, the reason why the bell rang is also a question.
Fuyuki City does have clocks; the church has one.
But Kirei Kotomine couldn't hear where the bell was coming from?
"That sir..."
"Here we go again."
"I won't admit I'm wrong."
"Is it because you see how useless we are that you intend to take the heads of the fifth-ranked?"
"Why don't we just commit suicide? Then we won't need to trouble that sir?"
"But if that lord sees how disappointing we are, will he come up to the Heroic Spirit Throne and kill us?"
"No, given that person's status, it's impossible for him to appear in the world as a Servant, and the identity of Assassin has already been taken."
"Ah, perhaps that lord came to this time to hunt down an even stronger enemy?"
"Great, it's the world that's going to be destroyed, not that lord who's going to kill us."
"... Calm down, what exactly happened?" Kirei Kotomine coldly.
In the past, when the bell rang, the person beside him was at most one or two clones, so Kirei Kotomine hadn't realized it yet.
Now it's clear that these Servants are terrified of the meaning behind that bell, and even want to escape it through death.
However, these Servants seemed too flustered to answer Kirei Kotomine immediately.
"By the way, since this gentleman is here at this time, why don't we clear our name?"
"Very good."
"That makes a lot of sense."
"If we win this Holy Grail War, if we can gain that person's approval."
"This is an honor greater than obtaining the Holy Grail."
"That's the decision!"
"Master, please rest assured, this time we will surely win the Holy Grail for you and achieve victory in the Holy Grail War!" All the Servants said in unison to Kirei Kotomine.
"..." Kirei Kotomine didn't quite understand why these Servants suddenly received a strange encouragement buff after their panic.
However, since the other party did not want to talk about it, and Kirei Kotomine himself did not want to use Command Seals, he could not force them to reveal the problem.
You're worrying too much about things like the end of the world, aren't you?
"Hiss, do you think if I edit out the latter part of the Assassin's dialogue and then show this video to King Hassan, will King Hassan be so angry at these good-for-nothing juniors that he'll just chop their heads off?" In another unobservable Different World, Chen Luo looked at the video in the camera and muttered to himself.
"I always felt it was really possible."
"Yes, it's time to let these assassins know what the power of the BBC is."
"Let's have a good talk with King Hassan later. See if we can become friends."
Chen Luo muttered to himself as he edited the video in the camera using the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion.
Chapter 627 Gilgamesh: You'd better really be good at chess!
Obtaining Command Seals is quite simple.
Enter Void Stealth mode, sit on the bench and wait a while until everyone leaves, then just give Risei Kotomine a headshot.
Of course, Chen Luo did not kill the other party.
Chen Luo merely knocked the other person unconscious and altered their memories.
As for the assassin who was left in the church to keep watch.
Sorry, but Chen Luo is at least a Stealth Master.
If converted to a Heroic Spirit panel, the Presence Concealment is at least A-rank or higher.
At the same time, Chen Luo also allowed Morgan to leave a trace of his presence outside, which lured Assassin to search for him.
Knock them unconscious by holding their head, alter their memories, strip them of their Command Seals and throw them into the river, obtain the gold and silver Command Seals, and return the Command Seals to the other party.
A complete set of movements takes at most one minute.
Then Chen Luo had 22 more Command Seals.
That's right, Chen Luo returned the original Command Seal.
The main reason is that the church, as a neutral institution, is indeed somewhat special.
If someone is spying on the church from a distance, it's just an offense, not a big problem; a warning is all that's needed.
But if the overseer has someone break their head in the church and steals all the Command Seals, then the nature of the matter changes.
From being a participant in the Holy Grail War, they have become a provocateur of the Church.
Tohsaka Tokiomi would be laughing his head off if he saw this.
Chen Luo just wants to finish the Holy Grail War as soon as possible, end his identity mission, and then he can roam freely in this world.
Besides, Chen Luo already has 40 Command Seals, so he doesn't care about the original Chen Luo Seals anymore.
Command Seals are best kept as collectibles.
Chen Luo had considered collecting all the Command Seals of all the Servants.
Anyway, after the Holy Grail War is over, I can just use the identity of the Wandering Magus Chen Luo to steal all of their Command Seals. Then who will know who stole them?
Chen Luo had finished the Holy Grail War, so naturally he no longer paid any attention to the Church.
Chen Luo had already given Risei Kotomine a hint, telling him that he absolutely must not give the Command Seals to anyone.
Not everyone has the ability to transfer Command Seals.
Otherwise, after Director Ken shot and killed Risei Kotomine, he wouldn't have just left the other's Command Seals there.
"Master, why don't you put me back into Servant status?" Merlin said seriously to Chen Luo.
"... Do you believe I'll beat you to death right now?" Chen Luo clenched his fist.
After obtaining the Command Seals, Chen Luo quickly returned to the Matou Residence.
Then, on the way, he took the opportunity to eliminate the familiars of the Matou Family who were monitoring him.
Chen Luo personally doesn't like having so many people watching him.
After returning to the Matou Residence with Morgan, Chen Luo tested whether Merlin could be away from him for too long.
As it turns out, Merlin can stay away from Chen Luo.
Although Merlin now has a physical body, he can estimate the time he spends in his spirit form by the time it takes for his physical body to consume magic.
As it turns out, although Merlin cannot be transferred to other Masters with Master qualification, nor can he use the magic power provided by other Masters, Merlin can use the Magic Crystal that Chen Luo himself has formed.
But Morgan wouldn't do.
Morgan doesn't even need Chen Luo's own Magic Crystal; what Morgan needs is Chen Luo's freshest magic.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to absorb it.
Chen Luo speculated that one of the reasons Morgan could not Independent Manifestation was because of his status as a Lostbelt Servant.
If summoning Merlin and summoning Morgan are both absurd, but if we have to compare them, Morgan is definitely more absurd than Merlin.
If all else fails, Merlin can create a alternate account, or even exploit a bug to be summoned as a Servant.
Just like in the Seventh Singularity, since Merlin was not born during the existence of the Seventh Singularity — Uruk, there was no Merlin at that time, and therefore it can be considered that Merlin was dead, which is why Merlin was successfully summoned.
However, summoning the Lostbelt King across countless parallel worlds is truly absurd.
After all, even if you're summoning, you're just summoning something that already exists.
