Telling the Truth / The King's Army

"Pfft~"

She also unleashed Wind Blade Technique that only exists in the True Magic world.

"A trivial skill."

Despite his strength, Kirei easily deflected the attack. He suddenly sprang to his feet, and then the blade pierced Rikku's shoulder.

Grass.

He was injured.

The Vector Reflection couldn't withstand it; it was neutralized by the impact force.

Her body was thrown backward by inertia, and Rikku quickly gave herself a balance buff in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.

At the same time, the Automated Steel Sword formed in mid-air and flew towards the target at a speed of nearly 100 meters per second.

Clang! Clang!

Kotomine Kirei continued to easily deflect the attacks.

"No wonder he's using cheat codes, what is this?"

The real reason is that Rikku is more suited to support roles, and her physical abilities are inferior to those of characters like Kurotama and Yukino in combat. But that doesn't really matter; in fact, exploiting weaknesses to exploit strengths makes it more challenging.

After Kotomine Kirei deflected the attack, he hadn't even caught his breath for two seconds when he discovered that the automatic weapons had veered off course in mid-air and were attacking again.

"Magecraft? I can't sense Magic Circuit. It seems that it was right for me to take the initiative to meet you; you do have something that I should pay attention to."

The two sides continued fighting.

Before we knew it, it had turned into a pure war of attrition.

To be honest, Rikku rarely experiences injuries, but thanks to the willpower she developed with Yukino, she hardly even flinched when faced with pain.

Not to mention, this injury is less than a tenth of what Yukino usually trains for.

"Even though I have some advantages now, I can't guarantee that I'll win. That last move was ridiculously strong; even if I used the Black Keys, I couldn't block it. I could only dodge it."

These thoughts were just a fleeting moment; in the blink of an eye, a halo of light was released from Rikku's hand, and then Kotomine Kirei felt a brief dizziness.

He jerked off the dizziness and felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

It turned out that he had been stabbed by an automatic weapon.

Chapter 299 Telling the Truth

"Cut."

Kotomine Kirei leaped back, unleashing his full power, and with a roar, cleaved the automatic weapon in two with a single blow.

"Interesting."

Kiritsugu, as seen by Kotomine, suddenly opened his arms, and five Submachine Gun appeared in front of him.

Click.

With the sound of the trigger being pulled, a hail of bullets rained down on him.

But the next moment, with a series of clanging sounds, his hand began to move at a speed invisible to the naked eye, actually blocking all the ultra-high-speed bullets.

"Close combat, close combat."

Rikku knew she had to complete the system's mission, and if she didn't work hard, she might not receive any rewards by the end of the Holy Grail War. So she simply removed all her previous buffs and switched to weapons suitable for melee combat.

"Body Reinforcement, Neural Reaction Reinforcement, Vector Reflection, Weapon Reinforcement..."

All the energy of the Evil Eye was used for these four enhancements, and Rikku, because she shared the combat skills of the Kurotama and other parts of her body, was already completely fine in close combat.

"Alright, let's begin."

Five hours later.

"Kotomine Kirei, don't run away, keep fighting me."

In fact, both of them received a treatment from Nightingale at the same time, which restored their injuries.

However, the high intensity of the battle directly led to a lack of physical stamina.

Kotomine Kirei underestimated the strangeness of Emiya Kiritsugu. The other party seemed to be particularly fond of fighting, and once the fight started, it lasted for a full five hours without stopping.

"Kirei, let's fight together forever. Don't eat, don't go to the toilet, don't sleep. Let's fight until the end of the world."

Emiya Kiritsugu's laughter was unbelievable to him. He snorted coldly, blocked the other's attack with a single blow, and sneered, "Since you have such a plan, then I'll play along to the end. Let me see your persistence."

Kariya, who was watching this scene through the Master's perspective, clearly didn't sleep well that Kariya. Berserker's strange actions made him want to laugh but couldn't.

And crucially, Yukino, who was sitting next to him, told him that he was prepared to fight Kotomine Kirei until the Holy Grail War ended.

Yes, not eating, not sleeping, not using the toilet...

This is naturally no big deal for the Servant, but Kotomine is likely to suffer.

Of course, Su Lin's clones have a time limit, so Yukino will have to take over for a period of time. And Rikku's Illusion Technique can even fool Heroic Spirit, let alone ordinary Master.

At dawn, X, who had successfully shaken off Artoria, put down his wife and then revealed an evil look.

"Hehehe, you're mine now."

Gilgamesh approached slowly, under his wife's horrified gaze.

Suddenly...

"Oh no!" Gilgamesh clutched his lower back. "I have kidney deficiency."

Irisviel: "..."

"Kidney deficiency?"

Suddenly, a girl's sweet shout came from afar.

Buzz—

With a flash of light too fast for the naked eye to see, Yatsufusa, with his Kurotama, successfully struck Gilgamesh.

"Irisviel, I'm here to save you."

"What?"

The woman was stunned to see Kurotama pick her up and then retreat rapidly under the onslaught of the berserk Golden Flash.

Why did this guy come to save me?

Putting all that aside, she witnessed with her own eyes countless Noble Phantasm flying out from behind Golden Flash's back, accompanied by a deafening explosion that struck Kurotama, causing her some injury.

However, the enraged Gilgamesh did not catch up, because Kurotama's speed was simply too fast.

Irisviel only felt the whistling wind in her ears, and the scenery around her rushed past.

Soon, Kurotama stopped in a deserted area.

"OK, Gilgamesh can't possibly catch up now."

"Gilgamesh?"

"Hmm, you don't really think I'm the King of Heroes, do you? Actually, the King of Heroes is that Golden Flash Gilgamesh. I only imitated him because I know him, just to remind you. After all, that guy has a terrible personality, and he'll go berserk if you say his name out loud in public. I just didn't expect that even after I reminded you, you didn't notice the problem."

"Pfft." Irisviel suddenly laughed. "So that's how it is. To be honest, you've completely fooled me."

"Well, that King of Heroes is really shameless. I heard that in history he was severely impotent and couldn't even last half a second."

"Hey, really? But is it really okay for a cute and innocent girl like you to say such dirty things?"

"Emmm..."

I don't know how to explain the fact that the original body is male, because it's even more difficult to say.

"In short, Gilgamesh is the most disgraceful man in the world. The elixir of immortality he sought was actually to cure that disease, but this guy was so useless that even after taking the medicine, he could barely extend his time by half a second. For the sake of his reputation, he had no choice but to promote it as an elixir of immortality, otherwise he couldn't bring himself to say it." Kurotama sat calmly to the side, and as if chatting casually, she revealed this secret buried in history. "In fact, many times, history is very different from what we see, because it is often interfered with by those in power."

"I understand. I'll tell Kiritsugu and Saber about this. By the way, isn't that Gilgamesh very strong?"

"Hmm." Kurotama nodded seriously. "If they get serious, Saber is definitely no match for her."

Irisviel's mood suddenly turned heavy.

"I'm a little confused. Why did you save me? Aren't we opponents?"

"An opponent? That's true... but who told me to look down on that Gilgamesh? He's really shameless."

"Yes." Although it wasn't nice to say it like that, after experiencing this terrifying night, the wife had to admit that the King of Heroes Gilgamesh was truly scum.

He's practically a disgrace among Heroic Spirit.

Kurotama took the initiative to escort his wife to the Einsbern Family, and then said goodbye to her.

As Dawn breaks, the sun rises on the horizon.

This night was very fruitful. On the one hand, I gained experience from fighting Kotomine Kirei, and on the other hand, I also drew a lot of hatred from Golden Flash, my most dangerous opponent.

Anyway, nobody knew that Rikku possessed miraculous "Illusion Technique".

"Kirei has already summoned Assassin several times, but unfortunately, Hyakko is too weak. My clone easily held him off. Tsk tsk, he's definitely destined to fight alongside me. I wonder if he'll need to go to the bathroom..."

The Holy Grail War doesn't feel like the Holy Grail War anymore; it's more like a lighthearted game.

Chapter 300 The Army of the King

That night, at Tokiomi's house.

Golden Flash sat on the sofa, sipping red wine from the Gate of Babylon Trove, gazing contentedly at the ceiling above him.

Two days have passed, and it's taken him so long for his emotions to stabilize.

He wasn't sure what the current situation of the Holy Grail War was, but he was furious when a guy appeared who called himself the King of Heroes and impersonated him in his own way.

"Your King of Heroes, have you calmed down?" Tokiomi stood beside him, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.

"How could This King possibly get angry over such a trivial matter?"

Gilgamesh snorted, put down his This King cup, stood up and said, "Tokiomi, I need to go out and take a look."

"Yes."

Tokiomi respectfully responded and watched Gilgamesh walk out the door.

Honestly, after learning about the attitudes of other people's Servant these past two days, he felt more and more like he had summoned a powerful figure. But what could he do? This powerful figure was indeed very strong, and if he didn't obey, he might not help him achieve his goal of obtaining the Holy Grail.

In order to reach the root of the problem and achieve final victory, he had no choice but to endure.

"Kotomine hasn't responded for a long time; we need to figure out where he is now."

With too many headaches, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt that the Holy Grail War was turning out of control.

Especially the girl who appeared a few days ago, who actually managed to injure the true King of Heroes, is unbelievable.

"Several powerful beings have indeed descended upon this Holy Grail War. I suppose the King of Heroes must already consider that girl a great threat."

Tokiomi didn't think Gilgamesh swallow this insult; his anger from the previous two days had already revealed his true feelings.

Golden Flash arrived at the top of the street lamp and quickly spotted a familiar figure using his ability to locate enemies.

Kurotama.

The black-haired girl stood alone on the side of the street, admiring the sky above.

Many people stared at her because the girl was indeed very strange; she was dressed in a black Sailor Uniform, yet she was holding a Japanese sword in her hand.

"That's too reckless. In front of so many people, aren't they afraid of exposing themselves? As expected, the thinking of bastards is always incomprehensible."

With that thought in mind, Golden Flash, after transforming into her spirit form, followed in Kurotama's footsteps.

A few minutes later, she suddenly started walking a few steps toward the north, and then abruptly stopped.

"Is Golden Flash here too?" Gilgamesh, who was spying in a certain direction, frowned as he glanced back.

He suspected he had been discovered.

That girl is indeed a troublesome opponent.

Although Gilgamesh, he would become slightly more serious when he realized that his opponent was indeed powerful enough to warrant attention.

Of course, Kurotama didn't actually find Gilgamesh; it was Takanashi Rikka who did.
