Both Tamamo Cat and the Panther are excellent hunters in the jungle, and their skills are greatly enhanced in such an environment.

This also led to a situation where their battle was temporarily undecided, turning into a jungle chase.

The two women chased and fought back and forth, switching roles as pursuer and pursued, leaping in the trees and running beneath them.

Unbeknownst to them, they slowly left the forest and arrived at a rocky ruin.

But they were completely unaware and continued fighting.

After playing for so long, it's not something you can just stop doing.

"Panther Assault!"

"Cat's Frenzied Claws!"

Even though the setting changed, their battle remained extremely intense.

"They've taken the bait! They've taken the bait!"

Lainis whispered to Waver.

They are currently hiding in a very secluded place.

"I told you this was a really good place, and that people would definitely pass through here."

"It's a pity there were only two of them; their companions didn't seem to have come along."

"Brother, should we make a move?"

That's right, this pile of rocks is not just a simple pile of rocks; it's a trap set by Waver and Lainis.

The Stone Soldiers Eight Formations!

Zhuge Liang's masterpiece, once it was created, would leave those trapped inside disoriented and unable to escape on their own.

As the saying goes, Formation of No Return.

This location was chosen by Waver and Lainis after much discussion and multiple site visits.

This place is not only very suitable for setting up formations, but it is also a major thoroughfare for many paths, and people are very likely to pass through here.

However, they did not expect that the first to fall into the trap would be two felines that were fighting fiercely.

Waver thought for a moment and said softly, "Let's observe first; they don't seem to have noticed what's going on here yet."

"Anyway, they won't be leaving here for the time being, so we just need to wait and see. Let's wait until they decide the winner before we make any moves."

He was calm and not in a hurry at all. Once he entered the formation, this was his home ground, and he wasn't afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.

Lainis nodded. "Then let's keep waiting. Maybe another big fish will come."

Their group's defining characteristic is that they rely on their intellect to win; they have no chance of winning through fighting alone. This was a strategy they devised as soon as they entered the area.

The combination of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi is quite terrifying to think about; you might not even realize how you got caught up in it.

Sure enough, their waiting paid off, and soon more people arrived.

"Brother, someone's here! This time it's a big fish, can you handle it?"

Lainis was a little worried, after all, the two who came were quite powerful, the Rin Tohsaka sisters.

Those are two gods, no, three gods. Although Ishtar in Rin Tohsaka's body cannot use her own power, she still cannot be ignored.

Waver frowned and said in a low voice, "Not one group, but two groups."

He pointed to the other side, where dust was rising slightly in the distance.

Sure enough, a huge figure was approaching from a different direction than the Rin Tohsaka sisters.

With such momentum, there's no doubt it must be Heracles.

Suddenly, the place became lively as six people entered the formation, which was completely unexpected by Waver.

All I can say is that their choice of location was indeed very clever.

However, this also put a lot of pressure on Waver.

As the saying goes, an overly large appetite will lead to overeating.

Even with the absolute advantage of the formation, it wouldn't be an easy task for him and Lainis to face six people at the same time.

"What should we do? Maybe we should just keep watching the show; they're bound to start fighting eventually anyway."

Lainis also realized the problem: six people had suddenly arrived, which was a bit beyond their capabilities.

Waver pondered for a moment.

He said seriously, "Let's wait and see, but keep a close eye on those two. They won't be as careless as the previous two. Once they realize something is wrong here, they will definitely react."

Waver refers to the Rin Tohsaka sisters. Compared to the Tamamo Cat and Fujimura Taiga, who are having a great time fighting, or Illya, who is leisurely sitting on Heracles' shoulder, these two sisters are obviously more troublesome and are very likely to be the first to realize that there is a problem here.

Lainis quickly said, "Brother, lead them to one place and let them fight each other."

"Once a fight breaks out, we will become less observant of our surroundings, giving us more time to prepare."

Waver nodded. "I've already directed them to the same place."

Sure enough, Illya soon met the Rin Tohsaka sisters.

Chapter 83, Section 304: Anyone can talk big.

Under Waver's deliberate arrangement, Illya and Rin Tohsaka soon meet each other.

But contrary to Waver's expectations, they did not start fighting as soon as they met.

"Sakura!"

Illya started waving to Sakura Matou from a distance.

She jumped off Heracles' shoulder and ran over to them without any warning.

"Sakura, have you seen Mordred and the others? I've been looking for them, but I can't find them anywhere."

Illya is still searching for Mordred and Irisviel; she is determined to take revenge and will not give up so easily.

Sakura Matou shook her head. "No, why are you looking for them?"

"They ambushed us, and I almost got eliminated. They were so mean! I have to catch them."

Illya became very angry when the matter was brought up, and she recounted the whole story to Sakura Matou.

After listening, Sakura Matou suddenly realized and said, "I see. It's a pity I've never met them."

"Hey, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you guys to be joking around like this? We're rivals too!"

Rin Tohsaka felt a little annoyed, unsure whether it was because she saw how unserious they were about the competition or because she felt neglected.

"Mind your own business. Sakura and I are best friends."

Illya's words made Rin Tohsaka even more dissatisfied, but Sakura Matou laughed.

"Alright, sister, we don't necessarily have to fight each other right now. We can form an alliance for now!"

"Yes, yes, I must find Mordred first," Illya agreed.

"Why aren't they fighting? This isn't what I expected."

Seeing that Illya and Sakura Matou were chatting and laughing, and showed no signs of making a move, Lainis couldn't help but feel anxious.

Waver frowned slightly upon seeing this, but quickly realized where his problem lay.

"We probably misunderstood."

"So what do we do now? It seems they've teamed up."

Waver pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with a better solution immediately.

"Let's continue to wait and see how they respond."

He was very cautious and didn't want to take any risks right now; he wanted to find a better opportunity.

"Hey, why are you being so cautious, just like Zhuge Liang? You should be decisive when necessary!"

Sima Yi suddenly spoke up.

However, he seemed more like he couldn't help but complain, and didn't say anything more, nor did he participate in their decision, completely letting Waver and Lainis make their own choice.

Waver did not change his mind because of Sima Yi's words. He continued to observe the people in the formation according to his own ideas, waiting for an opportunity.

"Wait, didn't we just walk through here?"

Illya and Rin Tohsaka walked side by side, chatting and laughing, but after walking for a long time, they found that the surrounding environment had not changed much.

They seem to be lost.

Illya's words further confirmed Rin Tohsaka's suspicions.

She had actually noticed that something was wrong with the situation a long time ago, but she hadn't said anything. Now that Illya had brought it up, she voiced her suspicions.

"We have probably already fallen into someone else's trap."

Rin Tohsaka frowned as she surveyed her surroundings, her tone somewhat grave.

"Ah!?"

Illya was a little confused. How could she be ambushed while walking normally? This made her very unhappy. These were all guys who liked to sneak around behind people's backs.

Rin Tohsaka ignored Illya and a strangely shaped weapon appeared in her hand. It looked like a gun, but more like a cage.

She shook the cage in her hand, and a blurry figure appeared in the distance: Garuda Spirit.

Boom!

Garuda Spirit emerged from underground, partially disrupting the surrounding terrain, but without any other changes, as if this was the original layout of the place.

"It's not Bounded Field, it should be an array."

Rin Tohsaka said seriously, "Then I think I know who's behind this."

Upon hearing the word "array," Illya instantly knew who it was.

"You mean Teacher Second Generation and Lainis?"

Rin Tohsaka pouted, "Who else could it be but them?"

"Berserker!"

Illya commanded Heracles to begin a massive destruction of the surrounding area.

The clanging sounds continued incessantly as Heracles transformed into a demolition crew, destroying all the trees and rocks he could find.

However, they still hadn't discovered the problem.

"It's no use," Rin Tohsaka said in a deep voice. "Arrays can't be destroyed so easily."

"This is no ordinary formation; it is Noble Phantasm engraved with the names of Heroic Spirit. If brute force alone could break this formation, then Mr. Zhuge Liang would not be known as one of the greatest sages in history."

"What should we do?" Illya was dumbfounded; she really didn't know how to deal with the situation.

"Watch me!"

Rin Tohsaka twirled the spear-like cage in her hand and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground around her to shake violently.

Illya was dissatisfied. "You're just like me!"

She had thought Rin Tohsaka would have a better solution, but in the end she just did the same thing as her, randomly smashing things around.

Even though she did the same thing as Rin, she still tried to portray herself as amazing. Illya was somewhat dissatisfied with Rin Tohsaka.

"How are they the same? I didn't just smash things randomly!"

Rin Tohsaka explained with a very smug tone, "I'm different from kids like you."

"I have seriously studied some mysterious knowledge from the East. To break the formation, you must find the key points. If you act haphazardly, you will never get out."

However, an embarrassing thing happened.
