Suddenly, Gilgamesh scooped up Rin and leaped to the castle's tower, evading the black mud that suddenly attacked.
"Rin Tohsaka, hahahahahaha, Rin Tohsaka, it really is you! I'm going to kill you, I must kill you!"
Rin stood on the tower, looking at Angra Mainyu who had suddenly appeared below. She then channeled magic into her eyes and glanced at Zouken Matou below. As expected, she saw that Zouken Matou had Command Spells on both hands. It seemed Angra Mainyu had formed a contract with Zouken Matou as a Servant.
"Hehehehe, Rin Tohsaka! What are you going to do in this situation!"
Rin grinned, looking at the smug Zouken Matou below. She turned to Gilgamesh and said.
"Gil, please keep them busy. Angra Mainyu is all mine!"
With that, Rin leaped from the tower. Her eyes instantly turned golden, and terrifying magic surged with her breath. In an instant, Rin entered Starlight Mode, and countless beams of light shot towards Angra Mainyu.
Jeanne d'Arc Alter blocked Berserker's axe with her battle standard. Then, with a twist of her body, she kicked Berserker away. After a few effortless leaps, she arrived beside Zouken Matou.
Jeanne d'Arc Alter looked at Angra Mainyu, who was screaming under Rin's magical bombardment, and said to Zouken Matou.
"Let's retreat! Let this disgusting fellow cover our rear!"
"Hehehe, since Miss Saintess doesn't wish to fight, then we shall retreat, Emiya."
Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. Then, the Command Spell on the back of his hand disappeared with a stroke. After reinforcing Assassin, he unhesitatingly used a smoke bomb and disappeared into the smoke with Zouken Matou.
Jeanne d'Arc Alter, seeing Berserker pursuing her, did not linger. She unhesitatingly unleashed her Noble Phantasm, creating a wall of fire to block Berserker. Then, she nodded to Assassin and disappeared into the woods after a few leaps.
Assassin, seeing that his Master and Jeanne d'Arc Alter had both evacuated, shot a barrage of throwing knives at Gilgamesh. Then, brandishing his dagger, he charged at Gilgamesh.
"Mongrel!"
Gilgamesh saw that Assassin still dared to resist and unhesitatingly activated the Gate of Babylon. The golden heavy rain reappeared in Fuyuki City.
"Scapegoat!"
Facing Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, the heavy rain, Assassin unhesitatingly activated his innate ability, 'Scapegoat,' to swap himself with Angra Mainyu. He would face Rin's magic, while Angra Mainyu would take Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, the heavy rain.
Then, Assassin endured Rin's magic and quickly retreated into the woods, disappearing from sight.
Facing the complete withdrawal of his companions, black mud continuously surged from Angra Mainyu's body, engulfing the Noble Phantasm stuck in him. He still stubbornly attacked Rin.
"Rin Tohsaka, I will kill you!"
"Tch! They all managed to escape. We're left with a troublesome piece of rotten meat!"
As she spoke, the wings of light behind Rin vibrated, and she rapidly ascended, dodging the surging mud waves. At the same time, she took out a Shorthand Codex filled with Runic Alphabet and unhesitatingly poured a massive amount of magic into it.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time! Great Rune Imprint!"
Rin, at the cost of an entire Shorthand Codex filled with Runic Alphabet and a massive amount of magic, unleashed magecraft comparable to a normal C-rank Noble Phantasm in an instant.
Countless Runic Alphabets, imbued with various attributes by the Shorthand Codex, combined into a giant imprint that instantly appeared before Angra Mainyu. Boom, a massive explosion followed.
Angra Mainyu, blown into a pool of black mud, stubbornly reformed his body and emerged from the black mud.
Then, the just-emerged Angra Mainyu was split in half by Berserker's axe. Following that was Rin's renewed magic, and Gilgamesh's energy blast from his Noble Phantasm.
Illya stood to the side, watching the others repeatedly ravage Angra Mainyu. Trembling, she prepared to slip away.
After brutally tormenting Angra Mainyu for a while, Rin turned around and saw Illya, along with two maids, carrying luggage and secretly sneaking towards the castle's back door.
Rin smiled slightly. The wings of light behind her vibrated, and she instantly appeared before Illya, blocking her path.
Seeing Rin descend from the sky, Sella and Lieseltotte took out their giant halberds, shielded Illya behind them, and shouted.
"Run, Miss!"
Then, the two sisters unhesitatingly swung their halberds down at Rin. Rin calmly reinforced herself with Reinforcement Magecraft, and two defensive arrays appeared on her arms. She easily blocked the sisters' attacks, then counter-attacked, instantly snatching both halberds and throwing them aside.
"Wait, I'm not here for Illya's Lesser Grail. I'm here to seek a partner. Illya, are you willing?"
Illya looked at Rin, who stood before her with her fists clenched tightly, and nodded without hesitation.
"Then, very well, Illya. We are companions now. Can I borrow your castle for a while?"
Chapter 95: Rin's First Robbery, the 'Heartless' Lion King!
On the outskirts of Fuyuki City, Sella dejectedly accompanied Rin as she scoured the castle for any jewelry Rin fancied.
After searching the entire castle, Rin followed Sella to the main hall. She looked at Angra Mainyu, who was confined within the temple, and let out a light chuckle as she walked to the side of the temple's magic array.
"How is it? With your contract severed this time, you probably won't have any chance to cause trouble again. What are your thoughts?"
"Rin Tohsaka! I will kill you, I will definitely kill you!"
"Heh! It seems you've lost your mind. But I doubt you'll have the chance. Let's go, Illya."
Rin no longer paid attention to the roaring Angra Mainyu and slowly left the castle with Illya and the others.
Walking behind them, Sella secretly approached Berserker and asked Illya, who was sitting on Berserker's shoulder.
"Miss, are we really going to listen to that... 'robber'?"
Illya looked at her lively maid with a mischievous smile. 'It seems Sella is quite unhappy about Rin's plundering!'
"Sella, can we resist?"
"No!"
"Sella, are you willing to die before achieving your wish?"
"I refuse!"
"I refuse too! I have to know why Kiritsugu became like this! That's why I can't die yet!"
"I understand, Miss."
Rin, walking ahead, occasionally stopped to take out jewels found in the castle from her bag and play with them, which made Gilgamesh, standing beside her, unable to resist speaking.
"Rin, why do you care about this trash!"
"No! Gil, these are the most beautiful treasures in this world. Look at their luster, look at their texture..."
Hearing Rin's words, Gilgamesh's forehead bulged with veins. He casually summoned a fist-sized crystal and threw it into Rin's arms.
"Didn't I already give you a third of the treasures in my Treasury?"
Rin caught the crystal Gilgamesh threw, her eyes glazed over as she swallowed, then, breaking free from the crystal's luster, Rin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and asked.
"Is my current appearance different from the future you saw?"
Gilgamesh looked Rin up and down carefully, then suddenly noticed a glint of golden light in her eyes and seemed to understand something.
"Hmph! You're too unskillful at controlling the Dragon Factor right now. Perhaps when you become more proficient, you'll become the person I remember!"
Rin was startled by his words, and the golden light in her eyes instantly vanished. Freed from the greed brought by the Dragon Factor, Rin, with a flushed face, thought about her embarrassing actions just now and shouted in grief and anger.
"Damn you, Da Vinci, I'm going to kill you!"
In the laboratory, Da Vinci, who was concentrating on repairing an instrument, suddenly sneezed, breaking the pipe he had just connected again, instantly covering Da Vinci's face with dejection.
"Aaaahhhh! Why did I suddenly sneeze? All my 2 hours of work are wasted!"
In the doll factory in Fuyuki City, Aoko was looking angrily at Touko, who was blocking her way.
"Touko, why are you stopping me? If the barrier isn't broken, I'm afraid most of the hundreds of thousands of people in Fuyuki City will die here!"
Arisu, holding a Noble Phantasm, also looked at Touko, who was blocking her and Aoko, with confusion, expecting an explanation from Touko.
Touko didn't speak, but casually took out a gem and played an image from it.
After the image finished playing, Aoko looked at Touko with some dejection and asked.
"Is there really no way, Touko?"
Touko shook her head, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and said.
"No! The combination of Ayaka Sajyo, someone directly connected to the Root, and the Magus King Solomon, even if all the power of Fuyuki City were gathered now, it would probably be difficult to defeat them, let alone in such a chaotic situation. Unless we can get Shiki here now, but if it's that 'Shiki', it's hard to say who she would help!"
Aoko irritably ran her hand through her hair, then snatched the cigarette from Touko's hand and took a hard drag.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Touko found it amusing to see Aoko choking on the cigarette, then gently patted Aoko's back, and took the cigarette back from her hand.
"Aoko, if you're really feeling bad, let's get drunk. It seems we haven't had a drink together yet!"
At this moment, Arisu spoke hesitantly.
"Maybe I can!"
Hearing Arisu's words, Aoko excitedly came in front of Arisu. Just as Aoko was about to speak, Touko poured cold water on her.
"Is it the Bridge Giant? But Touko, we don't have any materials right now, and you can't support the magic power needed for the final stage of the Bridge Giant. It's impossible!"
Arisu shook her head at Touko.
"No, Touko, you forgot about Sakura. You told me that Sakura's Origin awakened, and it's the Origin of Emotions. If I can help Sakura master her Origin in a short period of time, and then combine our powers, we can cast it. As for materials, Rin, who summoned that oldest King, should be able to help us solve it!"
Fujimura Residence.
Shirou Emiya was busy in the kitchen, quickly preparing one delicious dish after another. However, facing the Lion King's bottomless stomach, Shirou Emiya, despite being covered in sweat and his limbs aching, could hardly satisfy her.
At this time, Taiga Fujimura, who had learned part of the world's truth from Kallian, was staring dumbfounded at the legendary King of Knights in front of her.
"Hey! You didn't become King just because you can eat, did you!"
Martha also teased.
"No, it's because she became King that she can eat so much. Where would ordinary families be able to afford someone with such an appetite!"
Facing Taiga Fujimura's question and Martha's teasing, the Lion King involuntarily slowed down her eating speed, her face turning slightly red. Originally, with the Lion King's temper, she should have stood up in anger when spoken to like this, but facing the delicious and appealing food in front of her, the Lion King really didn't want to waste time.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking bowls and chopsticks came from the side. Everyone turned their heads to look and found that Shirou Emiya had collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion, knocking over a stack of bowls and chopsticks.
The Lion King quickly put the remaining food in her bowl into her stomach, then awkwardly walked to Shirou Emiya's side. Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was being treated by Martha, she stared at Shirou Emiya on the ground somewhat embarrassed.
Kallian then looked up at the Lion King with some displeasure, 'Big Brother, he's exhausted for her, and she doesn't even say a word of thanks. This guy...'
Of course, Kallian didn't know that the King of Knights summoned by Shirou using Gry's blood was a Heroic Spirit of the Heavens from another timeline who had personally reclaimed the Holy Spear at Camlann and returned to the earth. She had not died when she should have, and as a result, she became a wandering spirit holding the Holy Spear. Because she had always held the Holy Spear, she had been deified by it.
Originally, the deified Lion King should have had almost no emotions or humanity, and as a divine spirit, she should have been guided by the Holy Spear.
However, because it was not the main body, but the Lion King who descended as a Servant's Spirit Foundation, she was infected by Gry's blood, thus acquiring a part of humanity and emotions.
Of course, Kallian didn't know all this. However, Martha, who was beside her, although she had lost most of her abilities as a Ruler, still retained the ability to discern true names. Knowing the origin of the Lion King, Martha quickly stopped Kallian, who was about to get angry, and shook her head at Kallian.
"Kallian! Your Highness the Lion King is 'heartless'. You help Shirou to rest!"
The next morning, the entire Fuyuki City was already in chaos.
The phenomenon from yesterday had spread throughout Fuyuki City, and now the vast majority of ordinary citizens knew that Fuyuki City was completely cut off from the outside world.
Starting last night, daily necessities within the urban area began to be looted, and as the sun rose, the situation became even more intense, presenting a scene of apocalypse across the entire city.
The Magus and Church personnel who had originally been hidden in the shadows no longer cared about the principle of secrecy and began walking and fighting openly in the streets.
An explosion echoed from the second floor of a department store in the urban area of Fuyuki City.
Magus surrounding the mall cast aside their disguises and began to ruthlessly eliminate the panicked citizens. Meanwhile, on the second floor of the mall, several Magus were casting spells in turns, engaging in a fierce battle with Executors who also intended to procure supplies.
Facing the incoming fireball, the Executor agilely dodged behind a display shelf. After nodding to his companions around him, he pulled out a Black Key, poked his head out from the side of the shelf, and unhesitatingly threw the Black Key at the surrounding Magus.
The Magus at the forefront, seeing the flying Black Key, casually swung the metal staff in his hand, deflecting it. Then, with Reinforcement Magecraft activated, he leaped forward, smashing the shelf to pieces with all his might in an instant.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Magus's vision was obscured by the flying debris, a female Executor forcefully tore open her nun's habit and threw it at the Magus.
The Executor, unconcerned, then followed closely behind the flying nun's habit, wearing only her undergarments, and charged at the Magus.
The Magus indeed fell for it. His vision obscured by the flying debris, he only caught a glimpse of the nun's habit through a gap and unhesitatingly swung his staff. The female Executor, seizing this moment, closed the distance, pressed herself against the Magus's body, and unhesitatingly thrust a Black Key into the Magus's chest.
"Ah!"
