Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 217 The War Becomes Increasingly Chaotic

Iskandar spat out a mouthful of wine, his eyes wide as he stared at the unexpected proposal.

Not only was he stunned, but even Weber, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, was almost scared to death by these words.

"A...a marriage proposal?!" Weber screamed. "Has that golden-haired guy gone mad?!"

Artoria froze completely.

Her delicate face turned from white to red as unprecedented anger and shame welled up inside her.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting?!"

"I never joke."

Gilgamesh stepped forward, his red eyes burning with undisguised possessiveness.

"As long as you nod, as long as you are willing to become my possession and accompany me in this world..."

"That so-called Holy Grail, once I reclaim it, I'll give it to you as a betrothal gift. What harm is there in bestowing it upon you?"

"Whether you want to use it to save the souls of your Britain or to play house, I will allow it."

"This is the greatest blessing that only I, the king, can bestow in heaven and earth."

"You...you dare to..."

..！ ！ ！

The wind pressure from the holy sword exploded instantly, pulverizing the surrounding wine barrels and vegetation.

The Knight King was furious, and his sword was pointed directly at Gilgamesh's throat.

"Archer! Only blood can wash away your insults!"

Faced with this deadly sword strike, Gilgamesh simply dodged it with a nonchalant sidestep, his smile growing increasingly arrogant and gleeful.

"Hahaha! Very good, very good!"

"It's that look in my eyes—wanting to kill me yet powerless to do so! It's that indomitable spirit!"

"If you agree so easily, I will find it boring."

Gilgamesh was not angry at such a resolute refusal.

On the contrary, his smile became even brighter.

"Furthermore, this is not a request, it is my decision."

"Tonight's banquet is now adjourned!"

"After I've dealt with the other bastards, I'll come back and ask you again."

With a burst of arrogant laughter, Gilgamesh transformed into golden spirit particles and vanished into the night sky.

Only an enraged Artoria and Iskandar, who watched the show with great interest, remained.

"Oh my, what a domineering guy."

The Conqueror King scratched his head and looked at Artoria, who was still trembling.

He downed the remaining wine in the bucket in one gulp, wiped his mouth with a flourish, and said, "However, a marriage proposal is nothing more than robbery if it can't win the other person's heart! If he really intends to forcibly take you, I'll help you then!"

"I don't need your help, Conqueror."

Artoria took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger within her.

She sheathed her sword, her emerald eyes regaining their usual composure, only now they were even colder.

"I will use the sword in my hand to make him take back his arrogant words."

Having said that, she didn't linger and turned to walk into the castle.

Irisviel glanced worriedly at Artoria's retreating figure, then at the Conqueror King who was still drinking, and finally gave a polite bow before hurrying after him.

"Tsk tsk, what an unromantic woman."

Iskandar looked at the empty courtyard and sighed regretfully.

He then grabbed Webber, who was still pretending to be unconscious in the grass, and threw him onto the Divine Wheel like he was a chick.

"Let's go! Kid! We didn't get to drink to our hearts' content today, but we certainly watched a good show!"

With a thunderous roar, the chariot crushed the night sky and disappeared into the distance.

This absurd meeting of the three kings ended hastily in an extremely awkward and tense atmosphere.

Tohsaka Residence, the Underground Magic Workshop.

Through the images transmitted back by the familiar, Tokiomi witnessed the entire process.

Failed.

A complete and utter failure.

Not only did it fail to forge a three-king alliance against the Avengers, but the Hero King's sudden and insane actions also thoroughly enraged the Knight King...

"My king... you remain as capricious as ever..."

Tokiomi rubbed his throbbing temples, his tone tinged with a bitter helplessness.

He couldn't blame Gilgamesh for his decision, and as a magician, he had to find a way to salvage the situation that had spiraled out of control.

The original plan was to gather the power of the three strongest classes and crush the unpredictable Avenger with overwhelming force...

The perfect scenario of having the three kings engage in a final battle has now become nothing more than empty talk.

"teacher."

Kirei Kotomine, who had been standing in the shadows, suddenly spoke, breaking the deathly silence in the workshop.

"Although the alliance of the three kings failed, we did not come away empty-handed."

Kirei held a letter that had just been delivered by the assassin's clone and handed it to Tokiomi.

"This is Kenneth's reply."

Tokiomi's spirits lifted, and he quickly took the letter.

I accept the alliance's offer.

[As long as we can kill that avenger, as long as we can make that despicable Servant and his Master pay the price... the El-Melloi family is willing to form an alliance temporarily!]

Give me magic! Give me intelligence! I want to tear him to pieces!!

On the parchment were words written in blood mixed with magic ink, the handwriting messy and chaotic, revealing a deep-seated hatred.

These few short lines seem to allow you to hear Kenneth's hysterical roar.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

"It seems that the magician was furious about his fiancée's serious injury."

Tokiomi's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a composed smile returned to his lips.

"Although we lost two strong ally, being able to bring Kenneth on board is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

He stood up, walked to a huge map of Fuyuki City, and heavily placed the piece representing the spearman next to his own piece.

"Although Kenneth was injured, he is, after all, a Color Magician with profound experience."

"As long as we provide magical support, along with my healing potions, it won't be difficult for him to regain his fighting strength."

"and...

A glint of light flashed in Tokiomi's eyes: "A madman blinded by hatred may be more useful than a rational ally."

"Hero King, spearman, and your assassin..."

"The three Servants combined, along with the powerful mages from both our families, still constitute a formidable force."

Tokiomi turned to Kirei and said, "Kirei, inform Kenneth to come to the Tohsaka family for treatment. This is a safe fortress."

"At the same time, have the assassins keep a close eye on the Matou family's movements."

"That Avenger...we must take him down as soon as possible."

"Yes, teacher." Kirei bowed slightly, his eyes lowered.

Even Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't notice that this man, who had always been expressionless, smiled for the first time.

Is this chaotic feeling what pleasure is...?

The Matou family.

Compared to the undercurrents within the Tohsaka family, the atmosphere here felt far more oppressive.

Feiniao sat cross-legged on an old sofa, arms crossed, staring motionlessly at the figure sitting opposite him.

That's a berserker.

A Shinigami from another world, dressed in a Shinigami uniform, with a bone mask covering his face, and exuding an ominous aura.
