Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Ha! If that's the case, then he has no choice but to do it!

Someone was openly plotting something, and Tsurugi immediately had many guesses, so after careful consideration, he chose not to think about anything.

The addition of new rules to this Holy Grail War has fundamentally changed the rules of the game.

Add a rule: Among the seven Servants, one special 'Otherworld Servant' will randomly appear. They will descend and occupy the class position after the other Otherworld Servants kill the normal Human Servants. The Holy Grail War will not stop until they are killed.

Furthermore, participants may not withdraw from the Holy Grail War—except for Tsugumi.

He could leave; Tsugumi was certain he could exit the world at any time by selecting a match. However, given his mission, he clearly couldn't simply walk away.

At least until Nero's soul is settled, Sakura Matou's soul is pieced back together, and my own mess is dealt with, it won't work.

But then again, it's rare for Tsugumi to have such a strong sense of curiosity. She's really curious about who's up to this and what they're up to!

There's nothing to be upset about. Miracles weren't really his power to begin with, so if he can't activate them, he can't activate them.

Anyway, he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve now.

So Tsugumi didn't kill Saber directly; she merely poured Pandora's black mud into Saber's spirit core, turning her into her own card, and then tossed her aside.

After all, Saber can't unleash the things in her hands right now, but the effects are still there.

Her curry sticks might come in handy if needed.

If she turns against him, Dongjiang has plenty of ways to deal with her!

"What did I do to her?" Tsugumi glanced at Saber beside her and shrugged.

"I've transformed her into the kind of woman men like even more!!!"

Irisviel stared speechlessly at Saber, who had previously become her best friend—she was indeed unharmed, and even seemed to have become stronger.

Only his appearance has changed drastically.

His once fair skin turned pale, and his pupils took on a chilling dark gold hue. His armor and the holy sword in his hand also transformed into a menacing black-red.

272 >>

His once sharp and heroic face now had an added touch of coldness, as if he had transformed from an ideal wise king into a ruthless tyrant.

But Tsugumi is right—this makes Saber even more charming, after all, men like darkness!

"You have defiled me, you lowly king's servant!"

Artoria stared coldly at Tsugumi, her words dripping with venom.

"I'll say it again, that white maggot isn't even qualified to be my dog." Dongjiang glanced at her, a forced smile on her face.

"I spared your life not so you could spout such nonsense here. If you continue to be so rude to me, I'll send you right back to the Throne of Heroes!"

"Are you in cahoots with that monster?"

Artoria looked at Su Nuo in the arena, her brows furrowed.

"I don't know, and I don't care," Tsugumi said nonchalantly.

"Anyway, no matter who it is, if you don't like them, just kill them!"

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The Noble Phantasm that shot out from the golden portal interrupted Iskandar's desperate attempt and then hurtled towards Sukuna.

But Su Nuo had already summoned Mo Xu Luo to stand in front of him!

Dozens of light gates opened, allowing the prototypes of the Noble Phantasms to be launched continuously at Moxuluo. After a fierce attack, Moxuluo remained standing in place.

It's just that his body is covered with all sorts of magical artifacts.

Having fully adapted to the 'thrust' attack method, Demon Lord waved his hand, knocking all the Noble Phantasms off his body. Although he had no eyes, his chilling gaze seemed to be directed at the newly appeared Gilgamesh.

"Didn't you eat, little brother?"

This fact made Gilgamesh's veins bulge. The gaze of a lowly person was intolerable to someone like him who considered himself noble, let alone a monster that wasn't even human.

"I'll tear you to pieces, you pest!!!"

Gilgamesh, shouting this, immediately summoned even more Noble Phantasms to bombard Demon Lord!

—He's an idiot, no, he should be called an idiot with an excessive amount of pride who doesn't respect others.

Su Nuo revealed a contemptuous expression. Although he was also the type to be arrogant when things went his way, he never lacked respect for the strong, and he was even willing to use some underhanded tactics to win.

The guy in front of me, who's all gold and glitter, is definitely the kind of person who'll stick to his guns even if he can't beat them. People like that are most likely to get unexpectedly defeated by someone weaker than themselves—well, he doesn't really have the right to say that about others.

Undoubtedly, he was a completely different level of powerhouse from the spearman he had killed. If Mo Xuluo had faced him from the beginning, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to adapt before being turned into mincemeat.

But now, having almost completely adapted to the 'stabbing' mode through being beaten by Diarmuid, Demon Lord is no longer afraid of such simple and brutal attacks.

As expected, after unleashing hundreds of Noble Phantasms in succession, and with the ground covered in magnificent weapons, the Demon Void, whose size had increased several times and was now the size of a tall building, showed no signs of injury.

Thinking of his rival, whom he would probably never forget for the rest of his life, Su Nu's lips curled up slightly. He beckoned to Gilgamesh on the streetlight with a finger and said disdainfully.

"What's wrong? Is this all you've got? Well then, it seems you're the challenger."

"Mongrel!!!" Gilgamesh's face was frozen with killing intent after being provoked like this, and he unleashed even more Noble Phantasms.

"That idiot!"

Weber blurted out his assessment instinctively, and it was undoubtedly the opinion of most people there.

What's the point of repeatedly launching the same attack against a monster that clearly has an adaptable attack pattern?

Numerous magical artifacts pierced into Moxu Luo's body once again, but this time, the Dharma Wheel above his head began to spin again.

At the same time, Su Nuo suddenly rushed towards Gilgamesh, and unexpectedly, he dispelled the summoning after Mo Xu Luo was attacked a few times.

'It's a cursed artifact with some special properties, isn't it?' Sukuna thought to himself. His premonition told him that he shouldn't let Moxu Luo continue to take the attacks head-on. Both Gilgamesh's suppressed expression and Moxu Luo's condition told him that this was the right thing to do.

However, although the Demon Void was freed, the Dharma Wheel above its head was transferred to Su Nuo's head—at the same time, he gained the Demon Void's adaptability to some attacks!

"Have you run out of tricks, you scoundrel?"

Gilgamesh said dismissively that all the Noble Phantasms he had just fired were those that included the characteristic of 'undying kill'. Although he could not unleash the original Noble Phantasms in the Royal Treasury, he could use the characteristics inherent in the Noble Phantasms themselves.

"Now it's time for the execution!" A cruel expression appeared on his handsome face: "I'll tear you to pieces!"

272>>>>

In an instant, countless Noble Phantasms appeared in Gilgamesh's treasury and attacked Sukuna!

Sukuna remained silent, only constantly closing the distance, repeatedly striking down Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm attacks with slashes, while simultaneously using a reversal technique to heal the Noble Phantasm piercing his body.

Even so, Sukuna, who was halfway through his charge, was almost covered in various treasures and was on the verge of death!

Is this Caster planning to engage in close combat? Waver wondered to himself, but it didn't seem like a rational move for a magician to rush into close range of another Servant.

unless

Won!

Even though his body had been cut to pieces, Sukuna revealed a victorious smile when he was within 100 meters of Gilgamesh.

As Gilgamesh was enjoying the despair on the faces of the defeated and the pests as he tortured them, a huge sense of crisis surged into his heart. The next second, two slashes that were interlocked appeared one after the other in front of Gilgamesh's chest!

"Severing the World's Slash" - Exorcise Demon + "Severing the World's Slash" - Inevitable Annihilation

By using the power gained from the Noble Phantasm of Diarmuid after the rules are superimposed, the original 'World Slash' used against Gojo Satoru is enchanted, and the technique is used to bind the user to activate the spell, resulting in a one-hit kill!

The former instantly tore through Gilgamesh's golden armor, while the latter aimed for his head—

A deafening roar echoed across the battlefield, lightning flashed across the earth, and then, the divine bull galloping at the front of the chariot used its horns, crackling with purple lightning, to instantly send Su Nuo flying!

Unable to dodge in time, Sukuna was thrown back, and the attack missed his head, merely slicing through Gilgamesh's abdomen and cleaving him in two at the waist. As the chariot roared past, Gilgamesh was practically cut into two pieces, and Iskandar's triumphant voice finally arrived.

"Golden King, beware of his strikes, for they are imbued with the power to shatter magic and an unhealable curse!"

Gilgamesh lying on the ground:

273

Ah, that's more like it!

Gilgamesh should always be the one who capsizes in the gutter!

Seeing that Mr. Jin was almost taken down by Suku Nao in one shot, Tsugumi clapped her hands and felt that it was just right!

And then there's Iskandar—the bold conqueror king, who seems to be quite cunning as well.

Even though one of his hands was crippled by Sukuna's attack with the characteristics of Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm from the very beginning, he deliberately waited until Sukuna's attack was about to kill Gilgamesh before saying anything.

He truly embodied the nature of a troublemaker to the fullest, but that's not surprising, given that he was a king of his time; it's normal for him to be a bit cunning.

"My King!!!"

Realizing what was happening too late, Tokiomi Tohsaka let out an urgent, even tearful, cry of alarm, while Gilgamesh was in a terrible state at that moment!

Although he wasn't killed outright, Sukuna's attack, which carried the attribute of 'inevitable destruction,' still left a deep, bone-revealing wound in his abdomen. Blood flowed continuously, and his internal organs were clearly visible. It almost severed him in half at the waist. If he hadn't forcibly used some Noble Phantasm to sustain himself, he would probably have become Gilgamesh by now.

But no matter what, he's already halfway into the underworld, and death is not far away.

Even so, the loss of his dignity was more important to him than the physical harm.

"Shut up, Tokiomi!!!"

Gilgamesh, who was nearly killed by a trap, was so enraged that he almost lost his mind. Seeing that he had not been able to kill him and that he had become the target of everyone's anger, Su Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He healed his body with a reversal spell, but his current situation was truly dire. Leaving aside the fact that he was surrounded, the more important thing was that his curse power... no, his magic power was insufficient.

The limitations of this body are indeed enormous, and the so-called treasures and skills he currently possesses are insufficient to break the deadlock, unless—

Without any summoning words, the next moment, accompanied by a burst of light from a magic circle, a tall figure appeared within it.

"Servant summoning?" Waver exclaimed in surprise.

Why can Servants summon Servants?

—What is Caster's true identity?

At this moment, all the Servants and Masters watching the battle, except for Tsugumi, were wondering about the identity of the person who had won the first blood in the Holy Grail War.

Judging from his attire, he might be a native Eastern Servant, but why are there two different Command Seals on the back of his hands? And how is he able to summon Servants on the spot?

If it were one type, it might be possible to explain it by the fact that the other party used some kind of Noble Phantasm or magic to possess the Master. However, the acquisition of the second type of Command Seal and the resummoning of the Servant can only be explained as a form of cheating.

"Father Lizheng..."

"Ah, Tokiomi, I will issue a declaration of condemnation and warning against the suspected Caster Group in the name of the Church!"
