Obtaining Intelligence / Betrayal!

Hassan of the Arm looked at her and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly retreated, after all, he had heard similar words before he died.

This shows that his Master status is quite extraordinary!

"..." Mikaela didn't intend to push too hard. He canceled the Black Stone Greatsword and took out the weapon without consuming too much of his magic power.

After all, this weapon wasn't anything special. It was just that the First Hassan had wielded it so much that he found it very handy and didn't discard it, so it became one of his signature weapons.

Although there is a certain chance of instant death, Mikaela, without transforming into King Hassan, cannot fully unleash the power of this weapon.

"Phew." After King Hassan's weapon disappeared, Loli Hassan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, she had regained her memories. Her body trembled as she knelt on one knee before Mikaela and lowered her head.

She expressed her submission; she wasn't just submitting alone, but rather the 'personalities' within her were also trembling, indicating their submission as well.

Before separating, she had three personalities within her, who had just fallen into a deep sleep. When Mikaela took out the Black Stone Greatsword, all three of them awoke.

Then... Loli Hassan wanted to go back and let the three people inside her come out.

But the three people inside said, "I'd rather die than get out!!" Now that you're out, there's nothing we can do! You'll have to tell us everything.

"You know what I want, right?" Mikaela saw that Loli Hassan had submitted, and she knew that things would be much easier from now on.

Loli Hassan stood up shakily. She nodded, then pointed to her mouth, and gestured to indicate that she needed paper and pen to communicate.

"Well, as long as the one that can speak comes out, that's fine." Mikaela also knew that Hassan of the Hundred Faces was an individual capable of splitting into different personalities. The one she was currently in was a secretive type, the kind that couldn't speak.

Although her memories have been unlocked, Mikaela still prefers to have Hassan, who can speak, come out to talk to her.

'Impossible Master. If I were the Hundred Faces, knowing that someone close to the First Generation Master was outside, I would never come out even if you killed me.' Hassan of the Arm silently thought to himself, feeling pity for his junior for the first time at this moment.

The other party is really in a terrible situation; they have other personalities inside them, but none of them dare to come out.

"Ahhhhh!!!" At this moment, Loli Hassan also suddenly became excited, as if she was saying something, as if she wanted the personality inside her to come out quickly and push her back.

She's a mute Hassan, unable to reveal information! That's why she wants the Hassan inside her to come out quickly!!

"Come out!!!" Loli Hassan roared inwardly.

But no matter how much she yelled, the other Hassan of the Hundred Faces all declared, "I'm not going out!! I'd rather die than go out!!!"

"Oh! As expected of your Master, you still show no signs of weakness even after I unleashed my Noble Phantasm."

On the other side, Red Hare carried Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino, and Kiyohime on its back, and after avoiding Medusa and Valkyrie, it galloped along the road at night.

"That's Noble Phantasm?" Ryougi Shiki, sitting on Red Hare, was clearly surprised. She had just seen it very clearly: the sky was illuminated by a spear emitting a white light.

At that moment, Red Hare and Kiyohime immediately recognized it as Noble Phantasm! And its power was immense.

Red Hare knew that its Master's magical power was terrifying, so it immediately activated its Noble Phantasm, Pseudo- Army God Five Weapons - Shooting Mode!

Valkyrie's Noble Phantasm exploded violently with Red Hare Noble Phantasm. Red Hare used the shockwave from the explosion to run even faster, quickly leaving the two behind.

"Hmm~ That's right, this is the Noble Phantasm I possess as Lu Bu! The Army God Five Weapons!" Red Hare didn't mind that Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino, and Kiyohime were riding on its back. It said with great pride, "This is just the shooting mode. There are also slashing, thrusting, striking, cutting, sweeping, and other modes."

"Amazing." Asagami Fujino exclaimed. She truly felt that this horse who called himself 'Lu Bu' was incredibly powerful. She was completely stunned by the scene of his Noble Phantasm being unleashed.

She had initially thought that the legendary hero was nothing special, but now... Asagami Fujino had put that mindset aside.

No wonder Teacher Touko said that they were very likely to die if they participated in the Holy Grail War. So that's what happened.

"Noble Phantasm?" Ryougi Shiki fell into deep thought. Her mindset was similar to that of Asagami Fujino. Originally, when she saw Kiyohime's frail appearance and Red Hare's funny antics, she thought that the legendary hero was nothing special.

But when the battle actually started, she found that even if she went all out, she was no match for them.

"So, what should Master do now? This Holy Grail War has become strange." Red Hare wasn't good at thinking, he was good at fighting, so he threw the question to Ryougi Shiki.

"I'm going to make a phone call."

However, coincidentally, Ryougi Shiki didn't know what to do either, so she could only ask Touko for help.

Chapter 179 Obtaining Intelligence

"..."

Aozaki Touko, who was about to board a plane, had her flight canceled. She received a call from Ryougi Shiki, and after listening to her report, she realized that there was a big problem in the Holy Grail War. So she quickly got off the plane and prepared to start gathering intelligence.

She wasn't trying to help Ryougi Shiki, but rather she found the Holy Grail War interesting and wanted to see what would happen in the end.

"You guys find a place to rest for now. I'm going to find a guy and see if he knows anything." Aozaki Touko hung up the phone with Ryougi Shiki and then hailed a taxi.

In the taxi, Aozaki Touko dialed someone's number. The call was quickly answered, and she said in a flat tone, "Meet at the usual place. You know the payment."

"Understood."

A tired voice came through the phone. He said helplessly, "How long will it take? I want to take a nap."

It was already evening, and someone who had just gotten off work was planning to play some games before going to bed. But he didn't expect that someone would contact him to discuss something at this hour.

He originally wanted to refuse, but the word "reward" in the other party's words was too tempting, and he couldn't refuse.

"Three hours later," Aozaki Touko said calmly.

"I see."

The other person went to sleep immediately, at least they had three hours of rest. I slept for two and a half hours, and then got up to go over.

Three hours later...

At a familiar coffee shop, Aozaki Touko had just gotten out of the car when she noticed a mature-looking young man with a serious expression, a cigar dangling from his mouth, seemingly waiting for someone to come over.

"You're about three minutes late." The man with the cigar in his mouth slowly raised his head. He was none other than Lord El-Melloi II — Waver Velvet.

"Don't be so petty, there's a bit of traffic on the way." Aozaki Touko skillfully placed a suitcase on the ground, then snapped her fingers in front of Waver Velvet.

The barriers that repel people, soundproof barriers, and defensive barriers.

This place is near the Clock Tower, although her foolish sister came back and caused a huge scene after learning that she had been Sealing Designation by the Clock Tower.

But Aozaki Touko doesn't think that the old fogies at the Clock Tower would give up their capture operation because of her sister. Of course, she also won't be afraid of the combat personnel Sealing Designation.

But it's better to be careful.

"Tsk." Waver clicked his tongue slightly, watching Aozaki Touko set up three Magic Barrier in one go. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. How wonderful it would be if he could have that talent.

"Enough with the small talk." Aozaki Touko took out a cigarette, lit it, then removed her glasses and said calmly, "Are you paying attention to the Holy Grail War?"

Currently, apart from Holy Grail War 'First Holy Grail War' held at the Clock Tower, there are no other Holy Grail War.

"Why bring this up?" Waver was very puzzled. Hadn't he compiled all the intelligence and handed it over to the other party? Although he hadn't revealed some important information, revealing that information could have killed people.

"To put it simply, my employee is currently participating in the Holy Grail War, and she has signed a Servant." Aozaki Touko exhaled a puff of smoke and said coldly, "That Servant calls himself 'Lu Bu' and his class is Rider."

"..." Waver remained silent, taking a small sip of his coffee to indicate that he was still listening.

He knew very well that Aozaki Touko wouldn't bother him with such a trivial matter; something must have happened during the Holy Grail War that forced her to come to him.

As for what unexpected event had occurred that would cause this Order of Puppeteer looking for him, Waver had no idea.

"However, when they were signing the contract, two Servant attacked them." Aozaki Touko narrowed her eyes, a look of interest rising in them, and continued, "One was Lancer, and the other was Rider."

"Bang—!!"

Waver slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. After three years of honing his skills, very few things could make Waver lose his composure like this.

Because of Kayneth's dying wish, Waver was very concerned about the Holy Grail War. Although he appeared uninterested in the Holy Grail War at the Clock Tower, the fact that he was able to sell the information to Aozaki Touko so quickly showed that he had conducted a very detailed investigation into the Holy Grail War, which was why he dared to hand over the information to her.

But what's going on now?! Two Riders?! How is this possible?!

Only one Rider can exist in a Holy Grail War! That's the rule!

Waver, having personally experienced the Holy Grail War, naturally knew that it was impossible for two Riders to appear in an ordinary Holy Grail War!

"It seems I don't need to say anything more." Aozaki Touko flicked the cigarette in her hand, the ash falling into the trash can next to her. She continued, "The Holy Grail War has taken an unexpected turn, and judging from the two people who attacked my employees, they had planned this all along."

"Could you... explain in more detail?"

Waver looked at Aozaki Touko with a very serious expression, hoping that she would explain the situation in detail so that he could deduce what exactly happened in the Holy Grail War.

This time, Aozaki Touko didn't hide anything; she told Ryougi Shiki everything she had reported.

After hearing everything, Waver was first puzzled, then suddenly realized, and finally revealed a very serious look. He said in disbelief, "He actually did it? Something like that."

"How is it?" Aozaki Touko has a very strong talent for Magecraft, but she only knows a part of the information about the so-called Holy Grail War. That superficial information is not enough to solve the situation that Ryougi Shiki is currently facing.

So she came to find Waver, even though she was being hunted by the Clock Tower.

Despite the pursuit, she was well aware that Waver was now the most knowledgeable person about the Holy Grail War within the Clock Tower.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably that guy... the one known as Grand, Darnic Preston Yugdomilenia, who's behind this." After hearing Aozaki Touko's words, Waver's intuition told him that this matter was very likely related to the other party.

"Grand? Ha."

Aozaki Touko merely sneered at the word 'Grand'. She knew Darnic; the other party's claim of 'Grand' was far too exaggerated.

"He can't compare to you. You are a true Grand, while he has only been given the title." Waver rubbed his temples and looked at Aozaki Touko helplessly. "You'd better have your staff reunite with Mikaela. Based on the information I have now, he may have taken advantage of a loophole in the Holy Grail and resummoned the Six Knights."

"He probably didn't initially intend to attack your employee, but rather to eliminate the lone Servant, 'Lu Bu.' However, his intelligence was slightly flawed. Your employee happened to have a contract with 'Lu Bu,' providing him with invaluable magical power, allowing him to unleash his full potential."

At this point, Waver became somewhat dejected. During the Holy Grail War, it was because his magical energy was too scarce that the powerful King of Conquerors hesitated, fearing that using some powerful Noble Phantasm would cause him to faint due to insufficient magical energy.

"So, what do you think his goal is?" Aozaki Touko asked, looking at Waver.

"His current goal is probably to wipe out the scattered Servant and Master in one fell swoop, as can be seen from the fact that he sent Servant to attack the lone Rider."

At this point, Waver stood up very seriously. He couldn't keep arguing with Aozaki Touko. He had to tell the higher-ups at the Clock Tower about this information and have them pay attention to Darnic's actions.

Waver, who knew the combat power of Servant, was very clear about this! If Darnic used the Holy Grail to force Servant to stay in this world and provided them with a large amount of magical energy to do things for him, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Then, I look forward to your latest information. After this matter is over, I will give you a good reward."

Clearly, Aozaki Touko didn't want to leave, but planned to stay and wait for Waver's latest information. At this moment, she also made a phone call, preparing to tell her the information that Waver had deduced.

"So, couldn't you just tell me about it over the phone and talk to me face-to-face?" Waver said with some dissatisfaction before leaving.

"Well, maybe it's just to be on the safe side."

Aozaki Touko put her glasses back on and gave a friendly smile, showing no remorse for taking away Waver's rest time.

Chapter 180 Betrayal! (First Update)

"I see, so that's how it is. That Magecraft Darnic Danic is not a bad guy after all."

After Loli Hassan revealed all the information with pen and paper, she hid behind Hassan of the Arm, trembling. Clearly, she wasn't afraid of the information being revealed, but rather of Mikaela, who possessed the aura of the First Generation.

Not only her, but the three 'individuals' inside Loli Hassan were also trembling wildly. The three of them would not laugh at themselves, because if it were them, they would probably kneel on the ground on the spot and say that they could commit suicide immediately and then withdraw from this Holy Grail War.

There's no way around it!!! The First Hassan was just too infamous!!!

On the other side, looking at the intelligence report written by Loli Hassan, Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes slightly. After reading the report, he said calmly, "This is a big problem. We'll probably have to find allies."

"It's quite troublesome; the opponent has already summoned seven Servant." Red A nodded slightly. Just Vlad III, who has a territory bonus, is giving them quite a headache.

But the guys they summoned now, even Red A couldn't help but curse them out—they're all Servant with decent strength!! What the hell are you talking about?!

That's right, Red A noticed this when looking at the list. Apart from Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Berserker— Frankenstein is quite weak, all the other Servant are Servant!

Lancer: Valkyrie.

Archer: Chiron.

Rider: Medusa.

Caster: Avicebron.

"..." After listening to Emiya Kiritsugu and Red A's words, Mikaela fell into a brief silence. Clearly, this plan had exceeded his expectations again. He had thought that this was just a pseudo- Holy Grail War.

I never expected it to be Servant War. That guy Darnic Darnick really isn't satisfied unless he stirs up some trouble!

If he includes himself, he only has three Servant. If his magical power is sufficient, he can transform into King Hassan and openly charge in to kill all of their Servant.

But not now. Mikaela is no longer Servant, and without Master and the Greater Holy Grail to provide a large amount of magical power, even if he were to use Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment now, it would consume unimaginable magical power. The magical power he has accumulated over three years is not enough for him to go crazy.

"However, Medusa and Valkyrie?" A faint smile appeared on Mikaela's lips. According to Hassan of the Hundred Faces, he already knew that among the enemy Servant, there were two Servant were associated with gods.

While it's unknown whether these two possessed Divine Spirit Core, they were practically 'gods' in their lifetimes, suggesting that their Spirit Origin origins were far stronger than those of ordinary Servant.

"Which one do you want to choose?" Although Emiya Kiritsugu was troubled by the unexpected turn of events on the enemy side, which had summoned six Servant again, he was still concerned about whether Mikaela had found a suitable Spirit Origin.

This Holy Grail War will likely last a long time. Once he recovers from his injuries, Mikaela's combat abilities will increase significantly!

"I want them all."
