If Winette were here, she would probably complain a bit and tell him to stop courting death.

But Megumi wouldn't do that; she would only silently stay by Tsuchimikado Fuyu's side, making him feel more and more that he couldn't live without her.

Eh... Am I being won over by Megumi Kaname?

Suddenly, Tsuchimikado Fuyu had a brain fart and thought of this possibility, looking at Sato Megumi with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Megumi asked, puzzled.

"I said..."

"Tou, there's some movement over there." Before Tsuchimikado Tou could even ask his question, Kyuuki suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Megumi tilted her head, signaling Tsuchimikado Fuyu to continue, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was interrupted, just shook her head and said, "It's nothing, let's see what Director Ken is up to this time."

At that moment, Diarmuid's voice came from the gap, saying, "White archer, we have no hostility."

"No hostility?" Atalanta clearly didn't believe Diarmuid's words, saying, "How can you expect us to believe you? We're not on the same team, are we?"

"We are here to form an alliance; we are here with sincerity."

"What sincerity?" Atalanta's Master, the blond-haired one, asked.

"Intelligence regarding the power dynamics of this Holy Grail War." Diarmuid then explained the current distribution of power within the Holy Grail to them, and then said:

"There are too many Heroic Spirits on the Black side right now. If we don't form an alliance, it's only a matter of time before we lose this war. You probably don't think you can win the game on your own, do you?"

"Then why should we join you? According to you, since the Black Faction is so powerful, I can just join them. Anyway, they have a lot of Masters on the White Faction, so joining them would be a better choice."

Joining you... Ha! Even if we beat the Black side, what then? Were we just going to be used and discarded by you Red side?

Huang Mao saw things very clearly. If what Diarmuid said was true, then the white side had been completely divided up.

However, the condition for winning the Holy Grail is to defeat the other two sides. In other words, if he wants to win, he can only do so by joining the Black faction, since there are also five Masters of the White faction there.

But there's only one player on the red team, so if I join in, I'll just be cannon fodder!

Even if they defeat the black side, it's just a favor to the red side; the outcome has nothing to do with them.

Chapter 1182 Taking Action Personally

"If that's your thinking, then please do as you please." Diarmuid was not annoyed by the blond man's refusal at all. Instead, he said calmly, "However, the white side's Caster and the black side's Master are lovers, and that Master is the person in charge of the black side."

After saying that, Diarmuid turned around and prepared to leave.

But just then, the blond-haired man suddenly spoke up: "Wait, are you serious?"

"I have no reason to lie to you; such a low-level lie is easily exposed."

After thinking for a moment, Huang Mao said, "I can form an alliance with you, but we will not take orders from you. If necessary, we will help you deal with the Black Party."

"can."

Kenneth had never expected the other party to join his team directly; he only wanted the other party to agree to help him deal with the Black Faction.

The logic is simple, just like what Huang Mao said at the beginning: the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we foolishly join them directly, we will only become henchmen, fighting to the death, and in the end, we will not get any benefits.

Any normal person would make the same choice as Huang Mao, because only in this way could they possibly find an opportunity to steal chickens.

Neutrality is not advisable, because before the final battle, he will be besieged by both sides, just like Bluebeard. As long as he dares to show his face again, he will definitely be besieged by both sides.

After all, they didn't want any troublemakers to cause problems at crucial moments, and they certainly didn't want the other side to steal their prizes.

As for forming an alliance, that's impossible. Berserkers can form alliances because their Masters are relatively normal, but Bluebeard... that master and servant are both insane. It's best to just kill them.

"In that case, let's leave first..."

"Oh dear, Mr. Brush, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Won't you chat a little longer?" Just as Diarmuid was about to leave with Lancelot, he heard Tsuchimikado Fuyu's teasing voice coming from not far away.

Upon hearing this, Diarmuid immediately gripped his two pistols, turned around, and looked warily at Tsuchimikado and the others.

"Master of the Black Faction, what are you doing here?" Diarmuid asked sternly.

"What? Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said thoughtfully.

"I believe you have no reason to lie to me about something like this."

"It is indeed a coincidence, but since we've run into each other, we can't just not say hello," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"As you wish." Diarmuid was never afraid of challenges; on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of fighting.

"Grandpa, I'm entrusting Diarmuid to you."

"I accept this responsibility." Wang Ha nodded, holding his longsword, and jumped off the rooftop, slowly walking towards Diarmuid.

"Fighting you is not my wish, but since you have chosen to participate in this battle, you must not be afraid of death. So let your head be the one tolling the second tolling of the evening bell."

Soon, Wang Ha and Diarmuid engaged in combat.

After the exchange, Diarmuid looked at him in surprise, not expecting this guy to be so strong!

However, it was precisely because of King Hassan's immense strength that Diarmuid's inner passion was ignited.

That's exactly the kind of intense battle he wanted!

Just like the previous battle with Mordred, the two sides were evenly matched, and I had to give it my all, otherwise I might die.

Diarmuid was somewhat unsatisfied with his last fight against Drake, after all, being constantly suppressed for so long would have been infuriating even for him.

Just as Diarmuid and King Hassan were fighting, Lancelot also rushed straight towards Tsuchimikado.

However, just as Enkidu was about to stop Lancelot, he was stopped by Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"Leave Lancelot to me, and you can try out the tower, En." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Enkidu looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's confident eyes, nodded, and rushed towards Atalanta.

"Shuten, thank you for your help." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile as he looked at Lancelot who was about to arrive.

Shuten suddenly appeared next to Tsuchimikado Fuyu and said in a serious tone, "Although I am not afraid of him, I am still having some difficulty dealing with him right now."

Although Shuten-dōji is arrogant, he doesn't act recklessly. He is indeed no match for Lancelot at the moment, but that's only for now.

Although I have been unsealed, my strength is not yet at its full potential, and it will take quite some time to recover.

After all, they had put in so much effort for this plan.

"What if I join you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, somewhat eager to try.

Of course, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to foolishly charge forward based solely on his own strength; he was obviously planning to possess a shikigami.

After pondering for a moment, Shuten-dōji nodded and said, "It's worth a try."

After all, that seemingly delicate girl is not as simple as she appears.

When Shuten thought about a certain dark history of hers, her expression became a little strange. If it came down to strength alone in Heian-kyo, she was probably the number one.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Shuten-dōji's conversation proceeded quickly. Just as Lancelot was about to reach the bottom of the abandoned building, the two of them suddenly jumped off the rooftop and simultaneously entered the possession state of the Oni King and the Shikigami.

Shuten-dōji's fist slammed into Lancelot's arm, forcing him to stop, while Tsuchimikado Fuyu, holding a dandelion in his left hand and a samurai sword in his right, slashed fiercely at Lancelot.

Lancelot stepped back to dodge Tsuchimikado Fuyu's attack, then casually picked up a broken wooden stick. Instantly, black veins resembling leaf veins appeared on the stick.

"Tsk tsk, Gilgamesh is indeed a rich man, even the Noble Phantasms he casually throws away are so useful." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the incredibly handy katana in his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

That's right, the katana in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's hand is one of the four Noble Phantasms that Gilgamesh threw away last night.

Gilgamesh didn't take the treasures back last night because he didn't want them to be contaminated by anything dirty.

While Gilgamesh disliked them, Tsuchimikado Fuyu did not. He readily accepted the four weapons and made them his own.

Gilgamesh wasn't angry when he saw this, he just retorted with a few disdainful words, but he said that if he was willing to become his subject, he could reward him with a better Noble Phantasm. It seems that he still admires Tsuchimikado Fuyuki.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu resolutely refused. What a joke! He hadn't even joined Nero's Rome, let alone Gilgamesh's Uruk.

Although all four Noble Phantasms Gilgamesh threw were D-rank, they were still Noble Phantasms, after all. Picking up treasures is nothing to be ashamed of.

Unfortunately, of the four Noble Phantasms, only the nameless samurai sword in Tsuchimikado Fuyuki's hand is truly usable.

The remaining three are a knight's sword, a spear, and a dagger called the Hidden Thorn.

None of these four Noble Phantasms are well-known; even the katana and spear are nameless. After all, truly famous Noble Phantasms wouldn't only be D-rank, but their quality is still quite good.

Just like this katana, it's not heavy, but it can easily support the weight of a blade of grass. If it were an ordinary katana, it would be easily broken by just a normal swing, especially if it wasn't of good quality.

As for the dagger, it was given to Sacred Beauty, not for her to assassinate anyone, but simply for her to use for self-defense.

Because that dagger has no other function, but it can weaken Megumi's presence. Combined with her own abilities, it's likely that when she activates her abilities, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others will have to ignore her.

Chapter 1183 The Title Guy Gets Slapped Away

"Roar!"

Lancelot roared and swung his wooden stick at Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

Although he's not thinking rationally right now, his fighting instincts still tell him that when surrounded, he should pick on the weakest link.

"Well done, Word of Power: Guard!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu shouted, drawing a talisman in the air with his sword. Immediately afterward, a light shield the size of a disc blocked Lancelot's attack.

Thanks to Scáthach's tutelage, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has made remarkable progress in Abe no Seimei's skills and has gradually grasped the essence of these skills.

The current "Word Spirit Guardian" is a completely different concept from the past.

Seeing his attack blocked, Lancelot swept his sword again, finally breaking through the light shield.

Seeing this, Tsuchimikado Fuyu remained completely calm. Instead of retreating, he advanced, twirled his sword with his right hand, reversed his grip on the longsword, and suddenly turned his body around, fiercely slashing back.

Lancelot calmly blocked Tsuchimikado Fuyu's attack, but Tsuchimikado used the momentum to spin violently in the air, the samurai sword and the wooden stick making a piercing friction sound. Then, the dandelion in his left hand hit Lancelot's neck.

Lancelot was also knocked back by Tsuchimikado's dandelion, but the damage didn't affect him much. Instead, he took advantage of the gap in Tsuchimikado's defense in the air and delivered a fatal blow.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me!" At that moment, Shuten-dōji roared and kicked Lancelot away from the side.

"Tsk! It didn't even do any damage?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw that his attack had no effect.

"You're still a long way from fully unleashing this power," Shuten said disdainfully. "Abe no Seimei's strength is far beyond what you can compare to right now."

"Well, how long has he been cultivating? And how long have I been cultivating? There's nothing I can do if I can't compare," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said helplessly.

The reason why Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu doesn't seem to be making much progress and is still a weakling is not because he doesn't work hard, but because the people he's comparing himself to are too strong.

For example, in the beginning, he and Thorby were easily crushed by each other with one hand.

Right now, he's easily crushed by Thor.

In comparison, my progress is indeed not significant.

However, if we compare him to someone else, he used to be a pushover compared to Kiritsugu Emiya, but now he doesn't even need to go all out to defeat Kiritsugu Emiya.
