What kind of attack was that? Was it a Noble Phantasm?

Lancer was filled with doubt, but after Kiritsugu's explanation, he understood that this was Kiritsugu's ability. However, he, Lancer, had no way to deal with either the terrifying lightning giant or the ability to sever space!

But what else can we do besides deal with it? He has already been discovered by [Kiritsugu].

After being targeted by [Kiritsugu], Lancer had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk out of the woods, onto the steps, and look at [Kiritsugu] standing at the entrance of Ryudouji Temple.

"berserker!"

Lancer, holding two pistols, stared intently at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

“Lancer, you are the third servant to come before me.”

"The third one?"

"The first one was Archer, but after Archer challenged me, he ran away because he was afraid of my power. Rider is the second one."

"what?"

Lancer was surprised. He hadn't expected that the arrogant Archer had also come here, and that he had even fled because he was afraid of the Berserker's power.

"So, you want to run away too? If you run away, maybe you can survive to the end and return safely to the Throne of Heroes."

[Kiritsugu] spoke coldly to Lancer.

But Lancer saw these words as utter sarcasm.

"impossible!"

Lancer pointed his gun at Kiritsugu, filled with rage.

"Even if I die on the battlefield, even if I fail to lift the Holy Grail for my lord, I will never do something like running away!"

"Is that so? What if your lord ordered you to run away? Would you obey your lord's orders and become a deserter, but have the opportunity to lift the Holy Grail for the protagonist later, or would you disobey your lord's orders and be killed by a powerful enemy?"

"this....."

Lancer was stunned for a moment.

Kiritsugu's words essentially gave him two choices.

One is to be a coward who fears battle but will become a loyal subject to his lord, while the other is to not be a deserter and to perfect his chivalry, but this is tantamount to letting him betray his lord again.

Neither of these two choices made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I....."

"What, is it so hard to make a choice? Lancer Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, isn't your wish to be loyal to your lord? Now that your lord wants to obtain the Holy Grail, will you betray your new lord again, or will you betray your own chivalry?"

"Of course, you can choose to betray both your lord and your chivalry at the same time. After all, you've already done it before, haven't you? You betrayed your protagonist, took away your lord's fiancée, and then killed the knights who came to pursue you."

The words of [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] made Lancer's eyes widen. Anyone who knows him knows about his dark history, but to say it directly to his face is basically slapping him in the face.

His desire to participate in the Holy Grail War was to be completely loyal to his new lord and become a knight loyal to his lord, but the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

"So, Lancer, what's your choice?"

The question from [Kiritsugu] caused Lancer immense inner turmoil.

But the next moment, he no longer needed to worry about it.

Because his vision suddenly split into many lines.

click-

His vision shattered, and the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] who was standing there, who had been standing with his arms crossed, changed to a position where he was sheathing his sword, except that the sword in his hand was a dagger.

puff-

Blood gushed from Lancer's waist; his body, like Rider's, was severed in two.

"when!"

Lancer's body collapsed to the ground, and she strained to look up at the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] standing on the steps, unable to resist asking a question.

"What do you want to ask?"

"It must be an illusion. I didn't even notice your attack. You must have used an illusion to deceive my eyes. When did you use an illusion?"

When Lancer asked him a question, [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] just gave a cold smile.

"Since when did you begin to have the illusion that I didn't use illusion magic?!"

"So that's how it is. I lost from the very beginning...."

Lancer sighed helplessly.

"This time, I was also unable to be loyal to my new lord."

Finally, after a moment of reflection, Lancer went silent.

Weber, standing nearby, was stunned.

He witnessed Rider and Lancer fall one after another at the hands of [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

When Rider fell, he, as the Master, was already shocked, because Rider's fall meant the end of this Holy Grail War for him. He hadn't done anything, had only appeared once, and was eliminated the second time he appeared. This Holy Grail War was completely meaningless for him!

Lancer's sudden elimination terrified Waver, because Kiritsugu had killed so quickly that he was now afraid Kiritsugu would come up and cut him in two as well.

Frightened, Weber couldn't help but touch his abdomen, only breathing a slight sigh of relief after confirming there was no open wound.

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] glanced at Waver, a slight smile playing on his lips, then looked up at the sky.

"You're back again? Are you mentally prepared to challenge me?"

In the sky, the golden spaceship reappeared, and Gilgamesh stood on it. However, the spaceship was now covered in blood, and even Gilgamesh's golden armor was stained with blood. Clearly, he had just been through a battle.

"You bastard!"

Gilgamesh, who had just appeared, launched an attack on Kiritsugu without hesitation.

A golden curtain of light instantly filled the sky above Ryudong Temple.

224.archer: A mere fatal wound!

Archer Gilgamesh is undoubtedly the final boss of the Fourth Holy Grail War. He does have the problem of being careless and arrogant, but once the battle starts, he is definitely the most powerful servant in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

When Gilgamesh goes berserk, he becomes an even more formidable force in this Holy Grail War.

"Wow!!!"

Countless golden light curtains enveloped the entire Ryudou Temple in the sky, then began firing their Noble Phantasms. Seeing this, Waver immediately covered his head and ran down the mountain. He dared not stay any longer; staying here would mean death! Absolutely certain death!

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] watched as the Noble Phantasms began to fall from the sky like raindrops, but he wasn't too worried.

Archer's attack was indeed powerful, but the question is, after already fighting Caster, how much magic power did Archer have left to expend like this?

Servant requires mana to maintain its existence, and the mana required to use Noble Phantasms is even higher. So where does this mana come from? Either it can extract it from the outside world, or it can be directly extracted from the Master.

This is why amateur magicians have a harder time in the Holy Grail War, because they don't have enough magical power to support the Servant's actions. Tokiomi Tohsaka, although a traditional magician and not an amateur, still has limited magical power. Even though the Tohsaka family has many gems to store magical power, they can't keep using it indefinitely.

Gilgamesh's almost venting attacks continuously drained his magic power, maximizing the attack efficiency of the Gate of Babylon.

However, Kiritsugu's actions were incredibly cunning. Every time he was about to be attacked, he could immediately disappear from his original spot and reappear in another place to avoid the Noble Phantasm's attack.

Gilgamesh watched as the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu dodged so quickly. At first, he thought the other party possessed spatial abilities, but later he realized that the other party simply moved very fast.

This greatly displeased him. Although the Gate of Babylon had decent attack power, it was not very effective against high-speed units, so he directly used another Noble Phantasm.

"Lock of Heaven!"

Golden chains also appeared from the light screen, rushing towards [Kiritsugu], attempting to lock him up.

However, Kiritsugu abandoned his attempt to dodge and charged towards Gilgamesh.

"Hmph! A dying struggle!"

The Chains of Heaven appeared before Gilgamesh, weaving into a massive net of chains that lunged towards Kiritsugu.

However, faced with the oncoming net of chains, [Kiritsugu] simply drew his dagger and slashed at the air in front of him.

A dark blue portal appeared out of thin air, and all the golden chains went into it.

"Nani!?"

Gilgamesh was stunned when he saw the portal that had suddenly appeared.

But he reacted quickly, and a bunch of shields appeared behind him, blocking the black dagger that suddenly appeared behind him.

"You mongrel! I never knew you had such abilities!"

Gilgamesh turned to look at the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] behind him, who was holding a dagger and stabbing at him, and couldn't help but mock him.

"No wonder they're like rats in the gutter; all they can do is use this kind of trick!"

"Is that so? Is that what you think?"

puff-

Gilgamesh's right hand was severed at the root.

Flames suddenly burst into flames on the severed right hand, which was then quickly burned to ashes.

"Nani!?"

Gilgamesh was shocked again. Completely unaware, his right hand was suddenly severed. How could this be!

"You bastard, what have you done!"

Gilgamesh clutched the severed wound on his right hand and shouted angrily at Kiritsugu.

"How did you do that? Just as you can see, you were slashed once."

[Kiritsugu] replied with feigned indifference.

Although Li Yue had been messing around with elemental power, don't forget what he said to his adoptive father when he first obtained the power of the Great Tree King.

The power of the Yamato is such that it can easily kill an enemy on sight if they don't know it. However, it might be a bit more troublesome against those who do know the Yamato. But once protected by the dream power of the Great Kindred Tree King, the Yamato can easily kill the enemy without them even knowing it! Even if the enemy knows the Yamato's abilities!

Because Enma's Dimensional Slash requires drawing the sword, the opponent can dodge it by judging the drawing action. But what if you can't see the drawing action?

Gilgamesh was completely unable to draw his sword before Li Yue severed his right hand with a Dimensional Slash.

"Hey, come here!!"

Gilgamesh angrily unleashed his Noble Phantasm and Chains of Heaven at Kiritsugu.

But it was all useless.
