High-Purity Xiao Li / Natural Gas Explosion

The Mana surged with its master's mood, and Illya's Magic Circuits emitted a faint glow; the sheer number of Magic Circuits was simply beyond what a normal person should possess.

The Lesser Grail.

The vessel for the Greater Grail's descent, and also the degraded Artificial Human of the Winter Saintess provided by the Einzbern Family in every Holy Grail War.

Illya has nightmares every night, filled with the resentment of the failed "Winter Saintess" and the tragic fate brought upon her by her father's "betrayal".

"Uncle Priest, do you know what happened to Kiritsugu in his final moments?"

"Of course I know. I am his last enemy. If you help me escape danger, how about I give you another Command Seal in addition to the intelligence from back then?"

Kirei Kotomine rolled up his sleeves, revealing a dense array of Command Seal on them, a testament to his generous confidence.

After all, he had lived with Gilgamesh for so many years, and judging from Gilgamesh not to continue fighting, he could tell that Berserker in this Holy Grail War was a Servant not to be underestimated.

Especially given that Gilgamesh cannot easily access the Gate of Babylon, his chances of winning seem rather slim.

Kirei Kotomine understood that this meant Gilgamesh couldn't win against the combined attack of the enemy; he needed to secure Illya's help.

"Is it really necessary? Magecraft should have the power to make the dead talk, right? Besides, do you think one Command Seal is enough to get rid of you? Just kill him and we'll split the Command Seal."

"That's an interesting suggestion, but I'm Executor of the Church, and I have many Church secrets in my mind. Do you think the Church doesn't have any means to prevent leaks?"

Kirei Kotomine understood that Fujimaru Kyoya been in the game for a short time, and that the Einzbern Family's Lesser Grail could not leave the castle before the Holy Grail War. No matter how mature he seemed, he was actually just a blank slate.

The little girl's goal was clearly to obtain information about Emiya Kiritsugu. With this trump card, Kirei Kotomine would have to make good use of it.

"Berserker."

"Roar~"

The towering and imposing "Meat Mountain" roared, and the Berserker, who should have been irrational, responded to the girl's call as if he had a clear mind.

"Kill that older brother over there."

"Bang!"

The moment he made his choice, Berserker attacked Fujimaru Kyoya. It wasn't the "Shrinking Ground" technique he had seen before, but pure physical strength.

This physical strength was so great that it could Shrinking Ground people.

Gil planned to fire a Noble Phantasm to stop Berserker's advance, even at the risk of having his Noble Phantasm recalled. However, Gilgamesh saw through his plan and fired a Noble Phantasm of his own. The two Noble Phantasm clashed in mid-air and were then deflected.

Will die

Even with his Divine Ancestral Regression physique, Fujimaru Kyoya instantly realized the vast difference in their fear levels. If he were struck by the stone axe in the "Meat Mountain," he would lose his ability to fight, even if Immortality.

In such a battle, losing the ability to fight is tantamount to death.

Chapter 157 Highly Pure Energy Dispersion

Meat Mountain- like monster attacked Fujimaru Kyoya. Although his rationality was affected by his class, his superb martial arts skills were almost integrated into his body's instincts. Considering his top-notch stats among Servant, Fujimaru Kyoya was immediately at a disadvantage.

"Bang!"

A punch landed squarely on Fujimaru Kyoya's face. Such an attack would have shattered the brains of any normal person, but Fujimaru Kyoya only spun a few times in the air before landing smoothly without shedding a single drop of blood.

"Roar~"

This attack failed to achieve the desired effect, and this result drove the already irrational Berserker even more insane.

Whether it was a fist or a stone axe, Fujimaru Kyoya would take the blows head-on with his body or the weapon. Although he would be sent flying, he himself would not suffer much damage.

"Berserker, stop playing around, just kill him!"

Illya clearly couldn't believe that a human could do this—to withstand Servant's attack head-on and Immortality. Was this really human?

"It's Energy Dispersion with extremely high purity."

Kirei Kotomine was busy recovering from his injuries. As a clergyman of the Church, he naturally understood the Miracle of healing. At the same time, he was also observing the methods used by Fujimaru Kyoya to deal with the situation.

To Energy Dispersion, relax your body to the extreme, like water, so that all the force that strikes you can be transferred to other parts of your body.

He had heard of such techniques when he was studying Baji Quan. The Baji Quan master Li Shuwen mastered these techniques in his later years, which allowed him to maintain his fighting strength even in his old age and frailty.

But how could Fujimaru Kyoya reach this level at such a young and vigorous age? This was a level that Li Shuwen only reached in his later years.

Kirei Kotomine may find it hard to understand, but the facts will not change because of his lack of understanding.

Energy Dispersion isn't just for defense; it can also be used for offense.

"Thump~"

Fujimaru Kyoya was hit by the Berserker again, but this time he still managed to deflect the force while simultaneously retaliating with a shot like a siege engine.

Berserker lost his mind, but his biological instincts were heightened, and he actually sensed a deadly threat from the weak man before him.

The threat made him dodge; a strong man dodging an attack from a weak man.

"Did you move aside? What a pity."

Fujimaru Kyoya had just pulled his spear from the wall, and in that instant, countless cracks appeared all over the wall, as he had now adapted to Berserker's attack style.

His Energy Dispersion, he could finally launch an attack.

"Strong one, are you going to continue dodging the attacks of a weakling like me?"

Fujimaru Kyoya walked slowly over. Despite being such a weak person, Berserker was extremely wary of such an enemy. He knew that the threatening attack just now was not Fujimaru Kyoya's power, but his.

The other party is using his strength to attack him.

We have to be quick.

The basement wasn't very big, and even without looking, Fujimaru Kyoya, with his "Ghost Brain" working at full speed, clearly sensed how unfavorable Gil's situation was.

Logically speaking, the fact that a Berserker could still possess such combat skills even in his madness is enough to demonstrate how experienced he was in life. Fujimaru Kyoya's Energy Dispersion shouldn't have any miraculous effect on such a warrior. However, because of the Berserker class, the opponent couldn't fully control his power, giving Fujimaru Kyoya an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"What great luck!"

Fujimaru Kyoya laughed. At this moment, even against Assassin, who had the lowest stats, he might not be able to win. But against Berserker, who had the highest stats but lacked rationality, he had the highest chance of winning.

With "Limitless Zen" to stabilize his mind, "First Before First" to anticipate the attack's intent, and "Ghost Brain" to simulate countermeasures, combined with the formidable physique of "Divine Ancestral Regression" and the Holy Sword in his hand, Fujimaru Kyoya will defeat Berserker today.

"Roar~"

The enraged Berserker charged forward relentlessly, intending to use a relentless offensive to give his opponent no time to dissipate his energy. While this tactic wasn't exactly brilliant, it was undeniably effective.

Fujimaru Kyoya's reaction time was compressed, which meant that the enormous force could not be completely dissipated, inevitably putting a burden on his body.

However, Fujimaru Kyoya was still able to bear this burden.

At first, Fujimaru Kyoya was on the defensive, but he quickly caught up with Berserker's attack rhythm, using the power of the previous attack to counter the next. Thus, a dreamlike scene of physical combat against Servant appeared.

Even though everyone could see that Berserker was unharmed, while Fujimaru Kyoya was constantly getting injured, the scene was still very moving.

If this young man had lived in an era teeming with heroes, he would undoubtedly have been a figure etched in history.

It's a pity that I'm going to perish here today...?

Power was gathering, Fujimaru Kyoya had, the stronger his fighting spirit became, until he finally reached his peak.

"Clang~"

The spear blocked the fierce attack, and at the same time, the Holy Sword in his hand was finally ready to be unleashed. This sword strike not only contained the power of the Flowing Water Sword, but also the power of the Berserker that Fujimaru Kyoya had converted through Energy Dispersion.

A stretch of azure light, like flowing water, swept across the lake, followed by the howls of wild beasts and the gushing of blood. No one had expected things to turn out this way.

Even if an ordinary person possesses Holy Sword, how could they possibly slit the throat of a Servant?

"Thump~"

The massive body collapsed to the ground; this was undoubtedly a victory for Fujimaru Kyoya, who had defeated Servant with a human body.

"Then it's your turn, Marbo Priest."

Fujimaru Kyoya was about to deal with Kirei Kotomine, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him, and he hurriedly adjusted his state to meet the attack.

"Thump~"

The familiar force sent him flying. Although he managed to absorb most of the impact, he was still shocked by what he saw. The Meat Mountain flesh-like Servant had stood up, and the wound on his neck was healing rapidly.

Resurrection? High-speed regeneration? Or something else entirely?

Fujimaru Kyoya unable to make a judgment, but Illya provided the answer.

"Big brother is really amazing, managing to take one of Berserker's lives. But my Berserker has twelve lives, and the method that kills him once won't work a second time."

This was certainly not a well-intentioned reminder, but a complete psychological offensive.

Illya understood how powerful her Servant, and also understood that there was no point in hiding her Noble Phantasm, as it would be seen through after only a few battles. Therefore, there was no need to conceal Berserker's Noble Phantasm.

Saying it out loud only puts psychological pressure on the other person.

Even if someone is strong enough to kill Servant, they still can't master all twelve methods of killing Servant.

Fujimaru Kyoya is doomed today.

Chapter 158 Natural Gas Explosion 23/102

"The same move won't work a second time? Your Servant is Saint Seiya, after all."

It's 2004 now, and Saint Seiya is still being broadcast on TV Fujimaru Kyoya has naturally watched quite a bit of it, and he never expected to encounter a living Saint Seiya.

I wonder if this guy in front of me has Noble Phantasm like the Pegasus Meteor Fist or the Rozan Rising Dragon. If he does, then this game is really going to be a disaster.

Fujimaru Kyoya wasn't sure if the claim of "killing twelve times" was true, but if it were, it would be troublesome.

Humans defeating Servant is a rare occurrence, let alone defeating them twelve times in a row using different methods. Even if Fujimaru Kyoya used up all thirty of his lives, he still couldn't win.

More importantly...

"Wow~ We lost terribly!"

Gil returned looking disheveled. He was already quite strong, but encountering his adult self had rendered the Gate of Babylon unusable and suppressed all his attributes. If this continued, they would be doomed here.

"Stop pretending. You couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers of this operation, or that you have a trump card up your sleeve, right?"

Fujimaru Kyoya didn't think that Gil, that rascal, would be so unsure as to come to such a dangerous place.

"I can't hide it from you anymore. Well then, this is my last trump card. You'd better watch carefully."

Gil's final trump card had everyone present taking him seriously. In this atmosphere, Gil smiled confidently, not taking the Noble Phantasm from the Gate of Babylon, but instead taking a deep breath...

"Help!"

"It's fate~"

Ah~

That's it...?

Everyone present was a little stunned, but Gilgamesh was probably the most stunned of all. Although he was in his childhood form, he was still "himself" after all, so how could he allow himself to make such a sound?

"You bastard, how long are you going to trample on my dignity?"

Unable to contain himself, Gilgamesh he needed to tear his younger self to pieces to vent his hatred.

"Dignity? A king may have great power, but he must also have the ability to utilize other powers. You have truly fallen these past years, you bastard."

Gil dropped his joking expression, swept his bangs back, and revealed a arrogance in his blood-red eyes that was no less than that of his adult self.

Danger.

A powerful Mana appeared not far away. Gilgamesh immediately took out several shield-shaped Noble Phantasm to protect himself and Kirei Kotomine, while Berserker also protected Illya.

"Boom!"

The Fuyuki Church, which had previously publicized "natural gas explosions" elsewhere, also experienced a natural gas explosion today.

A beam of red light, appearing from nowhere, blasted the upper floors of the Church flat, even affecting the basement. Had the Servant not sensed the threat immediately, two of them would have been killed in the attack.

"Hades' Cloak of Invisibility? No wonder I couldn't find that guy before."

As the smoke cleared, Gilgamesh looked at the empty basement and realized that the enemy had escaped during the attack.

"Uncle Priest, that older brother has already left. Now you should tell me everything you know, after all, liars will have to swallow a thousand needles."

Illya smiled at Kirei Kotomine; she had fulfilled her promise, and now it was Kirei Kotomine to express his sincerity.

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? We..."

"Uncle, are you really going to break your promise even if it means swallowing a thousand needles?"
