Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"What's wrong, Kirei?"

"I am at the Einzbern family residence."

What are you doing there?

Kirei Kotomine stared at the large record player that Assassin was holding, unsure how to explain it, especially since he was currently tied to the tree and unable to break free.

To prevent Tokiomi Tohsaka from contacting him, he even sent Assassin back to the church to bring over a record player. After all, people can't leave, but a record player can be moved over.

"Never mind, could your Assassin investigate the situation at Ryudouji Temple on Mount Enzo? The Berserker seems to be there and has taken control of the Greater Grail."

"Yes, I already know that, and it should be true."

"Huh? You already knew?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka was somewhat surprised, but also pleased, as his apprentice grasped the information faster than he had imagined.

"Yes, teacher, is there anything you need?"

"Can you go to Ryudong Temple now?"

"The situation is a bit complicated, and I can't leave here for the time being."

Kirei Kotomine looked at the silk threads binding his hands and the tree that he couldn't break no matter what he did, and a rare hint of frustration appeared on his usually expressionless face.

"Is that so? Then send your assassin there. Let the assassin go and see what's going on. I've already sent Archer there. There should be a battle going on there soon. I need your assassin to keep an eye on things there the whole time. I need to know the situation there in real time."

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

After ending his call with Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kirei Kotomine took one last look at the huge tree in front of him that he couldn't escape no matter what.

"Lord Kirei, would you like us to bring some tools to dig the whole tree out of the ground? If not, you can at least move the tree with you."

Assassin couldn't help but offer advice from the sidelines.

"No, I'll stay here for now. Send a few people to Ryudong Temple. A battle is about to break out there. Go and monitor the situation."

"Yes!"

The assassins obeyed the order and immediately disappeared from their original positions.

As the various Servants mobilized, [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] returned to Ryudouji Temple once again. He stood alone at the mountain gate, looking at the steps leading up the mountain, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

221. King of Heroes, you are the challenger!

Li Yue deliberately sent Kiritsugu Emiya away. He intentionally let him leave because, given Kiritsugu's style, he would definitely send someone else to cause him trouble rather than do it himself. Especially with Irisviel and Maiya Hisau present, he lacked help and would definitely avoid taking action himself if possible.

After all, taking matters into one's own hands could easily result in both sides suffering losses, ultimately allowing someone else to benefit.

That's exactly the effect Li Yue wanted.

As the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu, he can naturally gain Irisviel's favor, thus keeping Irisviel by his side. This makes it easier to rescue Irisviel later, and then transform into Jeanne d'Arc to deceive the Marshal and get him to cause trouble for Archer.

He controls Berserker, sending Caster to his death and wasting Archer's energy. The rest of the time he can fight Lancer and Rider at Ryudouji Temple. As for Saber, she can't make a move for the time being. As for the Assassins, there's no need to worry about them at all. This time, the Assassins are just a hundred faces, and Berserker can take them down by himself.

Therefore, in the first stage, Li Yue only has two opponents: Rider and Lancer.

However, before that, Li Yue still needs to deal with Archer.

Caster wasn't quick enough, so Archer arrived at Ryudou Temple before Caster could make his move.

"You mongrel, are you welcoming the arrival of this king?"

A golden figure descended from the sky. It was not Archer's figure, but a magnificent spaceship made of gold and emeralds. Gilgamesh stood on the spaceship, or rather, he was sitting on it, his right hand supporting his chin, looking down at the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] with disdain.

"Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, are you the first one to arrive?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] looked up at Archer and directly said Archer's real name.

"Hmph, quite interesting. When Tokiomi introduced your identity before, I thought he was talking nonsense, but now, it seems you really know my identity very well."

Archer looked at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] with some interest, a Heroic Spirit from the future.

"So, you failed in this Holy Grail War, and as a result, you, the loser, became a Heroic Spirit in the future, and even tried to return to this era to change your fate of defeat!"

"You bastard, tell me, was your defeat in this Holy Grail War a gift from me?"

"Ah, my defeat was indeed caused by you, King of Heroes."

[Kiritsugu the Heroic Spirit] A definite point.

"Hahaha!!"

Upon hearing Kiritsugu's acknowledgment, Gilgamesh burst into laughter with joy.

"That's right, that's exactly how it should be. As the King of Heroes, all the treasures in the world belong to me. Anyone who tries to obtain the Holy Grail without my permission will be punished by me!"

"But your appearance brought me a touch of joy!"

Gilgamesh crossed his arms and slowly stood up.

"Having returned to this era from the future, you should know best how powerful I am. After realizing how powerful I am, you still dare to try to steal the Holy Grail from me? Do you think that by becoming a Heroic Spirit, you can stand against me?"

"Gilgamesh."

Kiritsugu of the Heroic Spirit raised his hand and pointed at Gilgamesh.

"The reason you were able to win the Holy Grail War is simply because you appeared in an era before me!"

"Ok?"

Gilgamesh stared wide-eyed at Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit.

"Don't be surprised. As an ordinary person, I indeed had no way to fight against you, but things are different now. As a Heroic Spirit, I am invincible. You, a remnant of the old era, are the challenger!"

"You bastard, you've successfully enraged me!"

Gilgamesh angrily flashed a # symbol on his forehead, and golden ripples began to appear in the air behind him as his Noble Phantasms began to emerge from the Gate of Babylon.

"Is that so? You want to kill me? Can you do it?"

[Kiritsugu] looked at Gilgamesh without any guard up, just staring at Gilgamesh like that.

"Hmph, you mongrel, die..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gilgamesh's expression suddenly froze, then he glared angrily at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

"You bastard, you tricked me!!"

"archer, what are you saying? I don't understand."

[Kiritsugu the Heroic Spirit] had no expression.

"You're not afraid of me, so you're trying to find a reason to blame me and then run away, are you?"

As he spoke, Kiritsugu lowered the finger that had been pointing at Gilgamesh, turning it into a thumb, and then pointed it backwards at the ground.

"As the King of Heroes, do you understand the gap in power between us, and no longer dare to challenge me?"

"Damn Tokiomi!!!"

Gilgamesh, filled with boundless rage, vanished from before Kiritsugu.

[Kiritsugu] lowered his thumb, which was pointing backwards, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Caster arrived at the Tohsaka mansion at just the right time, and upon arrival, he immediately and without hesitation summoned a colossal sea monster.

While it wouldn't kill Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately, the Tohsaka family's defensive barrier was destroyed instantly.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was dumbfounded when he saw the enormous sea monster that had suddenly appeared at his front door.

He immediately used his gem magic to attack, but the gems he threw were like pebbles thrown into a pond, completely useless!

Left with no other option, Tokiomi Tohsaka had to summon Archer. However, Archer immediately refused his summons, as he was preparing to attack Kiritsugu.

Gilgamesh, who was mocked by Kiritsugu, was in a bad mood.

Therefore, in order to save his life, Tokiomi Tohsaka chose to forcibly summon Gilgamesh back using Command Spells.

Gilgamesh had just told Tokiomi Tohsaka not to use Command Spells to command him not long ago, but now he was forcibly summoned back by Tokiomi Tohsaka using Command Spells again, and was even made to look like a coward in front of the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu.

Gilgamesh, who had been summoned, was furious.

"Tokiomi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Gilgamesh, upon returning to Tokiomi's presence, immediately roared.

"Oh my god, it's Caster! Caster suddenly charged at me, and I couldn't stop him at all."

As Tokiomi Tohsaka offered his aggrieved explanation, the sunlight before Gilgamesh was blocked by shadows.

"Archer!! Die!!!"

Amidst Caster's roar, the colossal sea monster brandished its tentacles, reaching out to grab Gilgamesh.

After Gilgamesh left, the gates of Ryudo-ji Temple welcomed new visitors.

Accompanied by thunder, the Rider appeared, driving a battle chariot.

222. Conqueror King: I'm so sorry I couldn't give you a good time.

"Yo, a Berserker from the future!"

Iskandar, the Conqueror King, stood on his chariot and raised his hand to greet Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit.

"Rider, so you've arrived too."

"There's nothing we can do. We've heard that you've obtained the Greater Grail, a treasure that I, the King of Conquerors, have been trying to seize. If someone else takes it from me, then naturally I must take it back."

"Is that so, Rider? Do you think you can take the Holy Grail back from me?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] coldly looked at Rider in front of him. After looking at Rider for a while, he shifted his gaze to Waver next to Rider. Waver was so frightened that he immediately shrank his neck.

"Murderous!"

No, it's not killing intent, it's spiritual pressure! I added spiritual pressure!

Rider also felt the pressure and raised his hand to block Waver with his large cloak.

"Hey, Berserker, you don't need to threaten my Master like that."

[Kiritsugu] withdrew his gaze and looked at Rider again.

"So, Rider, you've come here to fight me, even though I already have all the information I need about you."

"Yes, of course I'm here to fight you, after all, I'm here to reclaim the Greater Grail."

Rider drew his broadsword and pointed it at Kiritsugu.
