No One This OP Is Allowed in Fuyuki City.jpg / Whoever Gets Sent the Death Sword Dies

The Greater Grail of Fuyuki is, after all, a creation of the Three Founding Families. Using this identity, it might be possible to persuade them to join forces against the enemy. After all, its terrifying Mana and the Bystander Expulsion covering the entire city can no longer be described as Magecraft.

What kind of monster is it?

Shinji Matou couldn't understand how Fujimaru Kyoya contain the power of Servant in a human body, and how another powerful Mana had descended upon Fuyuki City, yet they had an unreliable Servant and a half-baked Master. Now, the sum of its parts was less than the sum of its parts.

The Einzbern Family must be won over.

"Boom!"

The sound of what could be either an excavator or a drilling machine could be heard, along with a series of loud roars. Towering pillars appeared in the distant sky, clearly the source of the noise.

"Those pillars..."

Despite these slight differences, the enormous Demon God Pillar is the same type as the one from the Fuyuki Church, which basically confirms that Solomon had arrived at Einzbern Castle before them and started the battle.

We need to pick up the pace.

Now that they had a direction, the two headed even faster toward Einzbern Castle, where an unimaginable battle broke out.

The concentration of Mana was almost condensed into mist, and the eyes on the Demon God Pillar opened, shooting out beams of light that attacked the black Meat Mountain.

"Bang!"

Berserker pushed off the ground and moved away from the beam's range. Even though he had lost his mind due to his class, his instincts still told him the best way to dodge.

With immense strength, lightning speed, and an impeccable physique, even Artoria, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure from her opponent's power.

However, even such a powerful person could not help but gradually succumb to the countless Mana attacks.

More and more Demon God Pillar burst forth from the ground, and Solomon's Mana seemed unfathomable. This feeling gave Marisbury a question.

Does Solomon really need Master?

From the moment the battle began, Solomon unleashed his magic Mana as if it were free, which should have put immense pressure on Marisbury, yet he still consumed very little Mana.

"Don't worry, I left Barbatos at the Fuyuki Church not only to build a base, but also to absorb the Mana of the Church's underground Ley Line."

Solomon could see the distribution of the Ley Line in Fuyuki City at a glance, and it would be a real shame not to make good use of it, given his rank as a Caster.

"It's time to close the net."

Solomon has prepared enough Demon God Pillar; now it's time to deal with this Servant in one fell swoop.

But at that moment, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky beside her, and Artoria made a judgment: she had to use her Noble Phantasm immediately.

Chapter 165 In Fuyuki City, such arrogant people are not allowed.

Not far from Einzbern Castle, no one would have expected that there would be a small church in this desolate place. It had been uninhabited for many years and covered in dust, but today the two of them were taking a short rest here.

"I never expected to need this place. Should I call it lucky or unlucky?"

Kirei Kotomine stared at the Cross in the center of the church. He didn't have much faith, but he wanted to know how God viewed him at this moment.

"Is that guy from the Einzbern direction planning to make a move on the Lesser Grail?"

Unlike Kirei Kotomine's inexplicable sigh, Gilgamesh kept his gaze fixed on the direction of the Einzbern.

From the moment Solomon stepped into Fuyuki City, he made no attempt to conceal his Mana, an attitude that greatly displeased Gilgamesh.

Such an arrogant person is not allowed in Fuyuki City.

Logically, they should have gone to provide support immediately, since their goal was to bring the Holy Grail back and have that disgusting Black Mud reappear in the world.

As for what motivates them to do this, it's probably simply for "pleasure."

Kirei Kotomine was a twisted individual from the start, while Gilgamesh was an arrogant man who didn't regard modern humans as human beings.

In Gilgamesh's view, only those who can survive in Hell can be considered human. This sentiment, already extreme, was twisted into this form by the Black Mud.

Unfortunately, they no longer have the luxury of "saving people." Gilgamesh is well aware of the power of the All-Knowing Star, and no matter how well hidden this place is, it cannot remain hidden for long.

For example... now.

"Bang!"

The wall was smashed open, and a blue-haired man in a tight-fitting suit slowly walked over, carrying a bright red spear.

"Father, this time we can finally settle the score."

Although Cú Chulainn did not have any desire for the Holy Grail, and his summoning this time was merely due to the factual connection between Bazett and his existence, as a powerful being, he was inherently unwilling to lose.

Now that his Master is severely injured, his chances of winning are slim.

"You bastard, you alone are no match for me."

Gilgamesh was sharp-tongued, but he already knew the identity of the Servant before him and was now searching for Noble Phantasm in the Gate of Babylon that could counter him.

Cú Chulainn, the Child of Light of Ireland, is a representative hero of Ireland. His fame in Europe is comparable to that of Heracles and King Arthur. However, even such a powerful figure has a weakness— his Spiral Sword.

That legendary weapon, imbued with heavenly lightning, possessed immense power, and Cú Chulainn was destined to be defeated by it at some point.

Gilgamesh possesses the original texts of all Noble Phantasm, and logically this Spiral Sword should be no exception, yet it is no longer in his treasury.

Did that kid take it?

Gilgamesh thought of his naive and childish self. With his omniscient and omnipotent heart, he must have known Lancer's true name in advance and had taken the Spiral Sword from his treasury when he descended.

In this way, if they become enemies in the future, he will have a 100% chance of defeating Cú Chulainn.

What a cunning little devil.

Golden light emanated from behind Gilgamesh as he deliberately controlled the number of Noble Phantasm and accelerated the retrieval process.

That brat is using Hades' Helmet, which gives him a stealth ability similar to Assassin's. If he uses too many Noble Phantasm, Hades will definitely take him down.

Gilgamesh waited, waiting for that brat to ambush Kirei Kotomine.

"Tsk~ This is really troublesome."

Cú Chulainn's feelings at this moment were probably similar to those of Touhou players. His eyes were about to be dazzled by the dense barrage of "bullets," and what was worse, he had almost no ranged attack methods other than his Noble Phantasm.

Even with his Protection from Arrows, which allowed him to handle aerial attacks with ease, it was merely a stalemate.

But that's fine, since his job was simply to attract Gilgamesh's attention, and the only problem now is that there's not enough pressure.

So...

The spear in Cú Chulainn's hand emitted a bewitching red light, its already blood-like color becoming even more intense, and an aura of death began to permeate the air.

Unlike the "Gae Bolg" used in the previous attack on the Fuyuki Church, which, although powerful, required a certain amount of preparation time, this time a different form of the spear was used.

"The Gae Bolg"

Cú Chulainn called out the true name of the weapon in his hand, and the weapon responded, shooting out crimson meteors that drew incredible flight paths in the air.

It wasn't a weapon that could be thrown simply by force; rather, it followed certain rules and continued a certain Karma.

"Noble Phantasm that reverses Karma? What a troublesome thing."

Gilgamesh saw through the true nature of the Noble Phantasm. The moment Cú Chulainn activated the Noble Phantasm, the result of "piercing the opponent's heart" was already determined. Regardless of the cause, the outcome was set and could not be changed.

Faced with such a shameless tactic, Gilgamesh had a few ways to deal with it. The simplest was to create distance or prevent the opponent from having the opportunity to use it, but that was no longer realistic.

Secondly, they possess the ability to resurrect from the dead, or have two hearts, so they can continue fighting even after death. However, this would be tantamount to admitting defeat in this ability, so it would not be recognized by Gilgamesh.

Finally, there's your powerful "Instinct" that allows you to reverse the predetermined future. This should have been the best method, but unfortunately Gilgamesh doesn't have that ability.

So, is death all that awaits him?

Are you kidding me? Gilgamesh going to choose the fourth method.

Countless shields appeared around Gilgamesh; was he going to take this attack head-on?

The red light that Gae Bolg moved left and right in the air, constantly searching for a weakness in Gilgamesh's defense, and finally... it found it.

Nothing in the world is perfect, and Gilgamesh's defense must have had gaps. This gap has been exploited, Gae Bolg hurtles toward Gilgamesh's back.

"Hmph~ They took the bait after just a little bit of bait."

Just as the Gae Bolg was about to pierce Gilgamesh, a stone bowl suddenly appeared in front of Gae Bolg. After the two collided, the Gae Bolg seemed to lose its spirit and fell directly to the ground.

This is the fourth method Gilgamesh chose: since you've reversed "Karma," why not just erase "Karma" altogether?

The Stone Bowl Before Buddha mentioned in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, although it does not appear in the original story, does not mean that it does not exist.

Its power lies in erasing Karma and effect.

Chapter 166 Who Sends Whom the Death Sword 27/102

Gilgamesh devised a solution to erase Karma by using the Stone Bowl Before Buddha, but there was a problem in implementing this solution.

That would require Gae Bolg and making contact with the Stone Bowl Before Buddha to maintain the intricate defenses he had deliberately constructed around him, while simultaneously leaving a fatal flaw.

The classic tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open is still effective today.

But this was not the end. Gilgamesh that the instant he stopped the Gae Bolg, someone began to move towards Kirei Kotomine.

It's that brat.

The Chains of Heaven spread out from all directions, heading towards Gil's location. As the Chains of Heaven formed from Enkidu, it is Gilgamesh's friend. Even though it has extremely high "God-Sealing" attributes, it will not affect Gilgamesh.

But what Gilgamesh used the Chains of Heaven on Gilgamesh?

The Chains of Heaven will fall into brief chaos, but this chaos will not prevent Gilgamesh from achieving his goal of locking up his younger self. This is the very opportunity that Kirei Kotomine for.

Kirei Kotomine opened his eyes, and the Black Keys slipped from his sleeve. How could they not know that the enemy would relentlessly pursue them? Kirei Kotomine would be in great danger then, so it would be better to use him as bait to lure the young Gilgamesh into a trap.

Killing him would replenish Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon once more, allowing him to use it without restraint, making Gilgamesh the strongest Servant again.

No matter how strong that Caster is, he's not a threat.

"Oops~ I've been caught!"

Gil looked at the Chain binding him. Although they wouldn't hold him for long, this brief moment was enough for Kirei Kotomine, his Executor, to seize the opportunity.

The Black Keys's target was Gil's head. If things went smoothly, Kirei Kotomine would definitely be able to sever the head of the person in front of him. However... a fierce fist wind came, its power was not as strong as Fujimaru Kyoya's, but the intention within it was extremely profound and heavy.

"Bang!"

The gemstone is crushed into powder, and then Mana drawn to coil around the palm, giving the originally fragile hand the ability to fight against swords. This "crude" Magecraft is of course not the Magecraft inherited by the Tohsaka Family, but rather the "Jewel Bulletproof Vest" developed by Fujimaru Kyoya.

While Tohsaka Rin outwardly dismissed this highly modern Magecraft, she secretly memorized its practical application, and now the time had finally come to put it to use.

"Cold?"

Kirei Kotomine looked at Tohsaka Rin, who had suddenly appeared, and didn't understand why Tohsaka Rin was among them. Shouldn't Hades' Helmet only be able to hide one person?

"That's true in helmet form, but what if we change its original form?"

Although Gil was still bound, she was holding a piece of cloth in her hand. That cloth, which could make people invisible, was Hades' Helmet. As long as you held it and poured Mana into it, anyone who held the cloth could become invisible.

Tohsaka Rin got here using this piece of cloth.

"Kirei, you should pay the price for everything you've done."

Tohsaka Rin couldn't possibly not come. This time, the enemy was her father's killer, and Kirei Kotomine had to be dealt with by her. She couldn't and wouldn't allow anyone else to kill him.

Gems shimmered between the two, and the Tohsaka Family had a tradition of Magecraft that could detonate gems and cause massive damage. This time, Tohsaka Rin was using Jewel Grenade modified by Fujimaru Kyoya, which was even more powerful than the old antique grenade.

"Boom!"

Several gems exploded like fragmentation grenades between the two, who were almost touching. Kirei Kotomine could only withstand the damage with his Cassock, while Tohsaka Rin had Gil by her side, and almost simultaneously, shields protected her, keeping her out of the explosions.

"What you gave me back then, I'm returning to you now."

The AZOTH Sword was originally a gift from the Tohsaka Family when he came of age. It was just a small gadget for assistance. Tohsaka Tokiomi gave it to Kirei Kotomine as a symbol of his graduation from his apprenticeship, but he never expected to be betrayed and stabbed on the spot.

Now, this short sword has finally been put to good use.

The sharp, cold light pierced through the smoke, Kirei Kotomine clapped his hands together, narrowly managing to trap the short sword, preventing it from advancing an inch.

"Bang!"

Before Kirei Kotomine could even catch his breath, Tohsaka Rin broke through the smoke and attacked with the Baji Quan personally taught by Kirei Kotomine, this time using the Iron Mountain Lean.

Tohsaka Rin slammed all her strength into the hilt of her sword, the powerful impact driving the tip of the AZOTH Sword directly into her opponent's heart.

"Rin... How interesting. Your face, consumed by rage, makes me imagine how furious you'll be when you learn the truth."

Even as death loomed over him, Kirei Kotomine still mocked Tohsaka Rin with smug satisfaction. When he handed the AZOTH Sword to Tohsaka Rin, he had thought more than once about what would happen if the little girl knew the truth.

As it turns out, this expression is truly delightful.

"Killing me is not the end. Gilgamesh, as an Archer, has extremely high Independent Action capabilities. Even if I die, he has enough power to drag you all to Hell and find a new Master. You cannot win."
