I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

Brush Guy wielded two brushes, one long and one short, to attack Saber, while Saber countered with her invisible sword. In the original storyline, Brush Guy took advantage of Saber's misjudgment of the dual pistols to successfully ambush and injure her.

But now, the situation is different. Fujimaru Ritsuka spoiled the plot for Saber early on, so Saber already knew the identity of the brush man and that both brushes in his hands were Noble Phantasms. She was prepared from the beginning, maintaining her armored state. Every time the brush man attacked with a short spear, she used her armor to withstand it, and every time the brush man attacked with a long spear, she used her sword to block it.

As a result, the Cursed Spear could not penetrate the magic armor, and the Demon-Slaying Spear could not get past the Invisible Sword. This situation made it very difficult for the Brush Bro to fight.

Finally, after Director Ken asked Brush to use his Noble Phantasm, but it still didn't work, Rider made a dazzling entrance in his oxcart with a thunderous roar.

Volume 1: Chapter 57. It was the Caster who attacked the Archer!

"The goddess Astrea from another world uses punches and back throws to attack her enemies, how interesting!"

"I simply cannot imagine the gentle goddess Astraea using a back throw to attack someone."

"And then there's the goddess Ishtar, who actually brought disaster upon another country just for rejecting a suitor's advances. That's a bit..."

"Just like the goddess Astrea said, it has a lot of the style of our goddess Ishtar here."

"Shh, keep your voice down. If the Ishtar Familia hears you, you're finished."

"Yes, yes, we really need to be careful about this."

As the adventurers had predicted, the Holy Grail War began, immediately providing them with new information. Previously, when Fujimaru Ritsuka spoiled the story for Saber, she only described the course of the Holy Grail War in a brief and glossed manner. But now, the information about Gilgamesh revealed details about two otherworldly goddesses, much to their delight.

However, just as they said, they had to be careful when discussing goddesses, especially Goddess Ishtar, because Orario really does have the Ishtar Familia, and it's one of the most powerful and ranked Familias in Orario. It's one thing for powerful Familias like Loki, Freya, and Ganesha to be careful, but if adventurers from lower-ranking Familias really anger Ishtar, they'll be in big trouble.

"Stop talking, look, look! A new guy has arrived."

"The entrance accompanied by lightning, isn't that the Rider that Pink King mentioned this morning?!"

Meanwhile, the Rider, whom the adventurers were talking about, had already stopped his oxcart, stood on his high chariot, and spoke to Saber and Lancer on both sides of the battlefield.

"Both sides sheathe their swords!"

"No disrespect is permitted before the king!"

"My name is Iskandar, the Conqueror, and I have come into this world as a Rider in this Holy Grail War!"

Lancer stared at Rider in astonishment, her mouth agape, while Saber's expression darkened.

Rider, who was initially proud of his self-introduction, found his own expression turning strange as he looked at Saber's odd expression.

"Uh... Saber, what's wrong with you? Why are you making that face? If you were shocked by my appearance, you shouldn't be making that face."

For a flamboyant Rider, such a grand entrance should have been met with cheers, or at least shock. What's with that hopeless expression? Am I some kind of annoying guy?

Saber looked up at Rider, then glanced at the surrounding streetlights.

"Now that Rider has made his appearance, Archer should be next."

"what?"

Rider and Lancer both looked at Saber with confusion, not understanding what she meant.

But Saber didn't care; all she wanted now was to quickly confirm what Fujimaru Ritsuka had said.

"Archer, Gilgamesh, you're here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light gathered on the street lamp beside them, and Gilgamesh appeared on the lamp with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression, looking down at Saber.

"You bastard! Who gave you permission to call me by my name!"

"It actually happened!"

Lancer looked at Archer in shock, then turned her gaze to Saber.

"Saber, the way you spoke just now, with that air of 'it was meant to be,' did you know they would appear all along?"

"It's not just them, you and I know that too."

Saber is an honest person; he confessed everything after being questioned by Lancer.

"The radiant appearance of Dilumudo Odina."

"Nani!"

Lancer was clearly startled, but as a soldier, he quickly recovered.

"You already knew my identity, so you knew the effect of my Noble Phantasm during the battle?"

"That's right."

Lancer suddenly realized.

No wonder! No wonder I felt so suppressed during the battle. No matter how I attacked, I was always perfectly defended by the opponent. Even when I used the Demon-Slaying Spear as a feint and actually used the Cursed Spear as a finishing move, it was perfectly defended.

It turns out the other party knew who I was from the beginning!

The conversation between Lancer and Saber was immediately understood by Rider and Archer, who, being former kings, possessed the necessary wisdom.

"Saber, do you know what will happen in the future?"

Saber, who was being questioned, paused for a moment, remembering what Fujimaru Ritsuka had said before.

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Omoshiro, I didn’t expect that in this Holy Grail War there would be a guy with future vision. Compared to the other bastards, Saber, you are slightly more worthy of my attention.”

As a Heroic Spirit possessing Omniscient and Omnipotent Star EX and Clairvoyance EX, Gilgamesh naturally knew what Future Sight represented, although he did not use it during this Holy Grail War.

But in his view, Saber's performance showed that she could see the future very clearly, and this level of future vision was obviously not low.

To possess such a high level of future vision, and in the Saber class at that, is quite interesting!

"Saber! You succeeded... What?!"

Before Gilgamesh could finish speaking, the streetlight beneath his feet suddenly began to shake. Without him noticing, a sea monster suddenly burst out of the nearby sewer and forcefully snapped the streetlight with its tentacles.

Gilgamesh's throne collapsed under the crushing force of the tentacles!

Before the streetlight completely fell, Gilgamesh lightly touched the streetlight with his feet, cushioning his fall slightly in the low air before landing on the ground.

After a brief pause upon landing, Gilgamesh's face turned furious.

"Damn trash, how dare you make me, who should be looked up to, stand on the same land as trash like you who doesn't even deserve to be called a miscellaneous cultivator!"

Gilgamesh's expression was contorted. He couldn't even accept being knocked to the ground by a Servant, let alone that the one who knocked down his lamppost was a sea monster!

How can we possibly tolerate this kind of garbage that we wouldn't even normally look at!

A golden light curtain appeared in the air, and weapons of various shapes emerged from the light. These were Noble Phantasms, the original versions of various Noble Phantasms in human history!

"Annihilate me completely!"

The Noble Phantasm was launched, accurately hitting the sea monster that was still wrapped around the lamppost, tearing the sea monster's body to shreds before it exploded upon landing.

But one shot wasn't enough. A second, a third, a fourth, a fifth shot—the enraged Gilgamesh unleashed his fury with a total of sixteen Noble Phantasms, blasting the sea monster away without even leaving a speck of dust.

The other servants present stared wide-eyed.

They hadn't expected Gilgamesh to have so many Noble Phantasms; just looking at them made them feel powerful. What surprised them even more was that the master of that sea monster dared to provoke such a powerful Gilgamesh.

In his shock, Saber also recognized the sea monster, which had turned to ashes.

"That shape is..."

"Saber, do you know that trash?"

Gilgamesh glared menacingly at Saber, seeking an answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a summon from the Caster in this Holy Grail War!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka had described to her that Caster could summon such sea monsters.

"very good!"

After realizing who the culprit was who had provoked him, Gilgamesh grinned savagely.

"Caster will be the first person I will execute in this Holy Grail War!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was far away in the office building, put away the Snail Annihilation Castle Bible with satisfaction after seeing Gilgamesh's performance.

"The perfect scapegoat has been born!"

Volume 1: Chapter 58. Tokiomi Tohsaka: I Choose to Live Like a Wimp

"Ritsuka, is this really okay?"

"Asteria, what do you mean?"

"That's how they framed Caster."

Astrea witnessed the entire process of Fujimaru Ritsuka taking out the Naraka Castle Bible, summoning a sea monster to infiltrate the sewers, and then attacking the lamppost after Gilgamesh appeared.

She also witnessed Gilgamesh directing his anger at Caster and declaring his intention to execute him.

Having witnessed these events, she felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions were somewhat outrageous.

“Asteria, don’t worry. I wouldn’t use this method on others, but it’s the best way to use it on Caster.”

"Whether it's Caster himself or his Master, they both deserve to die. Caster himself is already a Heroic Spirit who has died, so killing him will only allow him to return to the Throne of Heroes. His Master is a serial killer who has killed dozens of people and is a madman who treats killing as an art. Killing such a madman will only make the world a better place."

"As for using Gilgamesh like this, you saw his performance and his arrogant personality just now. He is almost the only threat in this Holy Grail War. Before eliminating this threat, we can't let him go to waste. He has the strongest combat power, and we should at least make use of that combat power."

"If that's what you think, then let's do as you say."

Although I felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions were somewhat unconventional and different from those of her previous children.

However, considering that Fujimaru Ritsuka's purpose was to make full use of threats and to eliminate evildoers, Astrea agreed to his approach; she was never a pedantic goddess.

As for whether Fujimaru Ritsuka would betray her true self, with her by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, she believed that Fujimaru Ritsuka would firmly uphold her own sense of justice.

"Tonight's public performance is basically over. Gilgamesh will soon be summoned by his Master, and the battles of the remaining Servants will also cease. It's time for us to retreat and move on to the next step."

No sooner had Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking than Lu Bu's question came from behind.

"■■■■■!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka could hear a hint of urgency, and even a touch of mania, in his voice.

Clearly, this valiant general longed to join the battle.

"Don't worry, General Lü Bu. This kind of gathering won't lead to real fighting. The battle won't be able to continue later. The place where you'll need to fight is later. Don't worry, I'll arrange the perfect battlefield for you."

"■■■■!"

That urgency disappeared, and the berserker's frenzy subsided.

The strategist's advice: B++

He can get others to listen to his opinions, especially Lu Bu!

Others cannot guarantee it, but when used on Lü Bu, at crucial moments, it can even surpass Kongming's "loyal advice to his lord".

At this first gathering of the Holy Grail War, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no intention of appearing at all, and his performance at the scene made Saber increasingly believe that what he said was enough.

Fujimaru Ritsuka originally planned to let the sea monsters find Caster so he could ambush and kill him, but the sea monsters searched all day without finding Caster. So he came up with a new idea: to shift the blame and make Gilgamesh willing to take the initiative to deal with Caster.

This way, you can conserve your own power, deplete the power of others, and even recruit Saber to help you fight against Gilgamesh. Why not?

He had even figured out how to make the Caster appear and be killed by the Archer.

As expected, after Fujimaru Ritsuka calmed Lu Bu down, Gilgamesh cursed at the air before disappearing into spirit form, leaving Saber, Rider, and Lancer looking at each other in bewilderment.

The first battle, which started strong but ended weakly, left all three parties feeling strange, so after exchanging greetings, they went their separate ways.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka also left with Astrea, but he didn't leave to go back and rest; instead, he went to solidify his hatred!

Gilgamesh was forcibly recalled by Tokiomi Tohsaka using a Command Spell and is currently in a state of rage, but he is not angry enough!

Fujimaru Ritsuka summoned twenty sea demons, forming two small sea demon squadrons, and then ordered them to launch attacks in batches, one directly from the ground and the other along the sewers towards the Tohsaka family.

As a participant in the Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka is very confident, especially with an extraordinary Servant like Gilgamesh. Therefore, his magic workshop is his home, and his home can be found on the map of Fuyuki City!

So, before the previous wave of sea monsters sent out to investigate Caster had even found them, this new batch of sea monsters had already arrived at the doorstep of the Tohsaka residence.

The two characters "Tohsaka" carved on the courtyard wall made no attempt to conceal them, openly telling others, "I'm right here, come and get me if you dare!"

Faced with such an invitation, the sea monsters pounced on it!

The Tohsaka family's defensive barrier immediately activated, and autonomous defensive magic began to attack the sea monsters. However, as monsters, the sea monsters themselves had a certain ability to sense magic power. The first wave of defensive magic did indeed cause considerable damage to the sea monsters, but the remaining sea monsters immediately learned to bypass those defensive spells.

When the remaining sea monsters bypassed the defensive spells and arrived at the entrance of the Tohsaka mansion.
