Although the attacks from both sides were fierce, neither could pose a threat to the other.

Jill possesses the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, and after reaching the D-level in spirit, Jill's control over the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star also reached a new level.

He can now actively stimulate the Omniscient Star, causing it to give him a brief prediction.

Saber, on the other hand, possesses a skill called Intuition.

Intuition is the ability to instantly determine the most suitable action for oneself during combat. Artoria's Intuition level is A. Level A Intuition has entered the realm of "predicting the future." She can predict ballistics through the sound of the wind and intuition, thus avoiding attacks from firearms. It also halves the obstruction to Artoria's vision and hearing.

Gilles relied on his brief predictions, while Artoria relied on her intuition; for a short time, neither could defeat the other.

Now, all that's needed is an opportunity.

No, both sides need this opportunity.

Gil's arms and hands were already numb from the shock. She swung her sword again and again, the longsword leaving magical traces in the air as it clashed with Artoria's invisible sword.

Over time, Gil has become completely accustomed to Artoria's attack.

Next, all you need to do is—

"This is it!" Both of them saw each other's weakness at the same time, and their longswords swung simultaneously at each other's weak points.

"Pfft!" Blood splattered out.

“…Tsk!” Jill clicked her tongue, because he hadn’t succeeded.

A sword slashed his waist, but because the force of the blow was dispersed, it only barely pierced his soft armor.

Gilles didn't even manage to break through the opponent's armor. Artoria was wearing armor that looked rather thick, and its defensive capabilities were definitely not on the same level as soft armor. Even if this soft armor was a Noble Phantasm, Artoria was no pushover.

"Really, as expected of the King of Knights." Gil straightened up, clutching his wound. "Impressive."

“How could you…” Artoria was stunned, and her eyes turned fierce.

"Ah, how would I know? You think you can stop others from prying into your defenses by using the wind to conceal the blade? Don't be ridiculous, Saber!" Gilles raised his greatsword. "Let's settle this with one strike—"

"The evil dragon will surely fall, and the world will face its twilight—smash it!" The longsword in Jill's hand began to glow with a blue light, and true ether was continuously refined and infused into the sword.

Artoria's expression also turned serious, and then the invisible sword in her hand began to fluctuate.

The wind that had enveloped the blade dissipated.

The blade, enveloped by the wind, was revealed.

The blade was golden, shining brightly as if it were the embodiment of all the beautiful things in the world.

"The breath of a blooming star, the torrent of glorious life, the vow (Ex) —"

"Fantasy Greatsword: Balumng, the Fallen Demon!"

"The sword of victory (calibur)!"

A golden beam of light surged forth and collided violently with the cyan sword light.

Fortunately, the Matou family's house had been razed to the ground by Gilles and even had a pit dug in it, so there was no significant damage to the surrounding area.

The cyan and golden beams of light clashed against each other. Gil poured all his magic into the greatsword in his hand, and the cyan beam of light began to surge, suppressing the golden beam.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, Gil's body was thrown high into the air. On the other side, Artoria was not far behind, and he and his Master were slammed to the ground.

Gawain quickly rode his white horse over and caught Jill from the air.

“Let’s call a truce for today!” Gawain said, looking at his opponents. “There’s still plenty of time…”

"Damn it... Gawain!"

“Arthur, you are no longer the King of Knights… but you are still the most perfect king in my heart…” Gawain sighed as he said this, “But alas, this is a battlefield!”

"My king! We are now enemies!"

Artoria seemed to have been stung by those words, and her expression turned somewhat astonished.

"Saber, don't listen to what he said!" Shirou Emiya quickly tried to persuade Artoria, "It's okay, you still have me..."

"Hmph... then let's part ways here today!" Gawain rode his white horse, with Gil in tow, and quickly disappeared from Artoria's sight.

Archer let out a breath. "That Rider is amazing. If his real name is Gawain, then he's truly terrifying."

"Why do you say that?" Rin Tohsaka asked Archer.

“Because Gawain is known as the Knight of the Sun… During the day, the closer it gets to noon, the stronger he becomes. But now it’s night, and he can still fight me to a standstill… Amazing, truly worthy of being King Arthur’s Knight of the Round Table.”

Archer's assessment is very fair.

"That's a troublesome opponent, and that guy who calls himself Master is clearly a Servant too..."

“No, Rin, that guy isn’t a Servant. I can’t sense any spirit-like presence from him,” Archer said.

"That's terrifying. If he's a Master, then no wonder his Servants are so incredibly strong..."

“No, Rin, he is not Rider’s Master…” Archer looked thoughtful, “but he is still someone to be watched.”

Chapter Sixty-Four Purification

Jill was taken back to their temporary base by Gawain.

"Master, are you alright?" Van Helsing quickly stepped forward and took Jill down.

"It's alright," Jill waved her hand. "I'm just a little tired."

"And there's something I almost forgot." Jill cupped her hands in a cupping motion, and golden ripples spread out.

Gao Wen felt a slight sense of unease.

This thing is terrifying; it looks like it contains a large number of powerful magical artifacts...

Immediately afterwards, the earthenware pot fell into Jill's hands.

“Master, what is this?” Van Helsing asked.

"Gawain, this is a Noble Phantasm to help your Master heal his body." Gilles breathed a sigh of relief, but you'll have to wait a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Jill took out the crystal ball containing the Spring of Purification.

Jill poured a cup of water from the Purifying Spring and then opened the earthenware jar.

A strange fragrance filled the room, and Matou Sakura couldn't help but look at the pottery jar.

"Is this... tea?"

"Yes, that's right. I only have this one earthenware pot of this tea. Don't underestimate this one pot of tea, it's an A+ grade treasure."

"What kind of tea is this? I remember that even Servants associated with tea shouldn't be able to create such a high-level Noble Phantasm?"

Gao Wen said with a frown.

"This tea is called Shennong Tea. Shennong was one of the Three Sovereigns, born in a stone cave in Lieshan. Legend has it that he had a bull's head and a human body. Due to his unique appearance and diligence and bravery, he was chosen as the leader of his tribe when he grew up. Because his tribe lived in the hot south and was called the Yan tribe, he was called the Yan Emperor. Once, he saw birds carrying seeds, which led him to invent agriculture. Because of these outstanding contributions, he was also called Shennong."

Seeing people fall ill, he went to the wilderness of Duguang, climbed the Jianmu tree to the Heavenly Emperor's garden to obtain the Yao herb, and there the Heavenly Emperor gave him a divine whip. Shennong carried this whip, whipping himself all the way back to Lieshan. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and was poisoned many times, but was always cured by tea. Because he vowed to taste all the herbs, he ultimately died after tasting the "heartbreak herb" (a poisonous plant) before he could find an antidote.

His legend is thus elevated, and this jar of Shennong Tea truly deserves the rank of an A+ Noble Phantasm.

No, if it weren't for me using it, this Noble Phantasm would likely have been exceptionally powerful.

Gil boiled the Purifying Spring, then brewed Shennong Tea and handed it to Matou Sakura.

"Why?" Matou Sakura asked.

"What do you mean 'why'? Do you need a reason to help others?" Jill said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"..." Matou Sakura stared blankly at the boy in front of her who was even younger than herself.

“Shennong Tea can clear foreign objects from your body and expel harmful substances that don’t belong to you…” Jill said. “Drink it quickly so you can stop being tormented by the Mark Worms.”

"How do you know...?"

“Because I wanted to know, I was able to find out,” Jill replied with a smile.

Sakura Matou looked at Gil with a puzzled expression.

Jill wasn't wrong.

His incomplete version of the omniscient and omnipotent star now only needs the right stimulation to tell him what will happen next, but only for a maximum of two minutes.

In battle, this is almost like intuition, but in ordinary times, if you want to predict the future in the long term, you still have to let the omniscient and omnipotent star trigger it on its own, like using revelation.

"Anyway, it's all good and no bad, drink it," Jill said, handing over the cup.

Sakura Matou took the cup and nodded politely to Gil, "Thank you..."

"It's just that I'm not very good at brewing tea, so the taste might not be very good." Gil smiled helplessly, and Matou Sakura just smiled and shook her head.

Soon, a scream rang out—

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh..." The voice roared like a vengeful ghost, "Damn it!"

“What a shame, I have no interest in letting an old bastard know my name, so die with your grief and anger.” Jill sneered disdainfully. “Goodbye, Machiri Zolgen.”

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The screams gradually subsided.

Jill smiled, her eyes narrowed.

The last section of his side quests lit up.

mission completed.

Zouken Matou implanted the body of Zouken Matou, which is the soul vessel of Zouken Matou, into Sakura's heart. It is the Crest Worm that Zouken Matou created by using the fragments of the Holy Grail destroyed in the Fourth Holy Grail War as a catalyst.

However, Jill used Shennong Tea and completely annihilated the old worm here.

Gawain frowned and looked at Jill.

“That guy is Zouken Matou in his true form,” Gil answered Gawain’s question. “That old guy has lived for hundreds of years and has long lost his original intentions. I don’t believe you didn’t see what he did to Sakura.”

"Master of Assassin, thank you for your help." Gawain bowed deeply to Jill with a respectful attitude.

"Huh? I already said it's unnecessary. After all, you need a reason to kill someone, but do you need a reason to help someone?" Jill waved her hand and said.

"...How noble you are! If you were to become a knight, you would surely be a perfect one," Gawain exclaimed sincerely.

“No, knights... I don’t really qualify as one…” Gil shook his head. “Or rather, I’m not really suited to be a knight.”

“No, you could actually be called a knight,” Matou Sakura said to Gilles, mustering her courage. “Your behavior…”
