Before Tokiomi Tohsaka could finish speaking, a sharp pain in his chest startled him, and disbelief flashed in his deep eyes as he slowly raised his hand to touch his chest.

Hot and humid.

Looking at the pool of red liquid in his palm, he was horrified. He wanted to turn around and look at his disciple, but it was too late; his eyes had already dimmed and lost their light.

Peng!

Looking at the lifeless body of Tokiomi Tohsaka lying on the ground, Kirei Kotomine remained expressionless. He slowly crouched down, pulled the cross-shaped holy blade stuck in Tokiomi's back, and placed it back into the hidden compartment of the Bible.

This is a newly developed anti-magic weapon from the Holy Church, about one-third smaller than his black key. However, it has better concealment and offensive capabilities.

“Mentor, since you insist on carrying out this plan, then I will dedicate my life to it. I will follow your will, win this Holy Grail War, and become the final victor.”

As he spoke, sensing that Tokiomi Tohsaka still had a breath left, Kirei Kotomine snatched the three rubies from Tokiomi Tohsaka's tightly clenched hand.

Then he used his hands to permanently close those eyes that revealed resentment and regret.

The ritual for this plan requires the lives of two magicians as a price. Kirei Kotomine learns from his father that Zouken Matou is already dead, so the ritual also requires the life of another magician.

Kirei Kotomine originally intended to kill one of the opposing magicians, but at some point, he set his sights on Tokiomi Tohsaka, his mentor.

"Then, I will preside over this ceremony!"

As Tokiomi Tohsaka's painstaking efforts began to slowly seep into the ritual magic circle on the ground, Kirei Kotomine took out a very transparent, cicada-wing-thin insect skin from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

This is the insect skin he stole from Zouken Matou's house; it's the skin the old insect shed when it changed its parasitic host last time. Since the old insect's remains were never found when it died.

Kirei Kotomine could only use this spare material as a link to sacrifice the soul of the old insect.

......

Chapter 128 Shock! Okay, not really shocking, it's just that your favorite character has appeared!

Here is wisdom: Let everyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beasts, for this is the number of man, which is six hundred and sixty-six.

......

Kirei Kotomine placed the old insect's skin on Tokiomi Tohsaka's chest, then stood up again and walked to the black box next to him.

He stood in front of the box, remained silent for a moment, and then lifted the lid. A sinister, evil, and nauseating stench wafted out.

Kirei Kotomine frowned, then took out a piece of black silk from inside.

This is a church-sealed artifact given to Tokiomi Tohsaka by his father, Kotomine Risei. It is said to be a wristband left behind by an evil heroic spirit during the Third World War.

He then took out an even smaller box from the bottom of the box, carefully opened it, and found a small piece of broken stone with dark brown markings inside.

This is one of the holy relics that his mentor, Tokiomi Tohsaka, has collected over the years, but Tokiomi Tohsaka did not tell him which Heroic Spirit it originated from.

However, since it is a core item in this plan, its origin must be extraordinary.

After a moment of contemplation, Kirei Kotomine wrapped the ruby ​​in his hand with his wristband, then took out the shard and returned to his mentor's corpse.

"Declaration"

You are beneath me, and I entrust my fate to your sword.

Obey the call of the Holy Grail; if one follows this will and the principles of Heaven,

You should answer immediately.

I hereby swear...

......

Just as Kirei Kotomine was carrying out their plan in place of Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Meanwhile, in the small garden outside Einzbern Castle, Ilya was sitting in a chair telling Irisviel about her fun experiences on the adorable Rabbit Island.

However, most of her words describe how she won her verbal battles with Lin Tian.

Wow!

Just as Irisviel covered her mouth and burst into laughter after hearing this, Saber suddenly deactivated her spirit form and appeared beside Irisviel.

Saber's sudden appearance startled Illya, and Hercules beside her was already wielding his axe sword, ready to strike Saber.

"Berserker, stop!"

Fortunately, Yinliya reacted quickly and stopped Hercules' attack.

"What's wrong, Miss Saber?"

The sudden turn of events startled Irisviel. Watching her daughter's heroic spirit re-form into a spirit form, she patted the skin above the center of the two undulating teapots. Turning to the side, she looked up at Saber, her expression revealing her confusion and bewilderment.

“Miss Irisviel, the curse of the ‘Destroying Yellow Rose’ on me has been lifted.”

"Impossible! How could that curse disappear? Lin Tian said that even Lancer himself couldn't break the curse. Why would it suddenly disappear?"

Upon hearing Saber mention the curse upon her, Yinliya was startled and hurriedly stood up, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

“Miss Yinliya, Lancer’s curse has indeed disappeared from my body. He told me that only by destroying the ‘Destroying Yellow Rose’ or by his own death… so…”

Seeing that Yinliya was so emotional, Saber raised her hand, which had been pierced by Lancer, and truthfully explained how to lift the curse.

"Lancer is in trouble... then Lin Tian... Mom! I have to go find Lin Tian, ​​he must have been attacked by other Masters. I have to help him!"

From Saber's words, Yin Liya quickly grasped the key point. The curse of the "inevitable yellow rose" had suddenly disappeared from Saber, and Lancer might be dead, which meant that something had happened to Lin Tian.

This morning, after Lin Tian stole a piece of cake from her, Yin Liya made another note of him in her little black notebook. But now, upon learning that Lin Tian was in danger, her first thought was—to save Lin Tian.

"Yin Liya, we're with you!"

Although all Masters are enemies in this Holy Grail War, Lin Tian is currently their ally.

Kiritsugu Emiya told her last night that she shouldn't antagonize Lin Tian until he found a way to defeat him. Furthermore, because of her experience at the hot spring bath yesterday, Irisviel didn't want anything to happen to him.

As Irisviel stood up, she suddenly felt something that didn't belong to her body enter her. Unable to adjust in time, she swayed and slumped back into the chair.

"mom!"

......

"Your Majesty, what are we doing?"

In a very ordinary Japanese-style attic, Waver had finally managed to forget the shadow of the First War. As he was fiddling with the information on the various Masters and pondering how he would survive this war, a giant hand grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him outside.

As Waver watched Inskander, the King of Conquerors, summon the battlefield, an ominous premonition spread through his heart. He looked at the King of Conquerors with a mournful face; though he didn't say anything, his expression betrayed his desire to no longer ride in the chariot.

"I sense an evil and immense magical power; a very formidable and powerful being is about to be born. As the Conqueror King, I must witness this historic moment with my own eyes."

After saying that, the King of Conquerors ignored Waver's resistance and threw him directly onto the chariot.

"Ah, no! People will die..."

......

Rewind five minutes. As Lin Tian was moving at incredible speed through the forest, a terrifying explosion accompanied by a powerful surge of magical energy caught his attention.

He stopped and turned his gaze to the battlefield where the three heroic spirits were fighting. As he sensed the auras of his two own heroic spirits gradually weakening, the anger on Lin Tian's face began to subside.

"Huh? Lancer and Lancelot are both dead. Is Gilgamesh going on a rampage...? He finished the battle so quickly."

The deaths of Lancer and Lancelot forced Lin Tian to suppress his anger and consider how to face the challenges ahead.

In Lin Tian's plan, while the two Heroic Spirits were holding back Gilgamesh, he would find Tokiomi Tohsaka hiding in the rear and ambush him to kill him when he was off guard.

But now... Gilgamesh has ended the battle so quickly, and the original plan has fallen through before it could even be carried out.

"This is bad. Lancer and Lancelot are dead. I can't take on Gilgamesh alone..."

After much deliberation, Lin Tian reasoned that the disparity between the two sides was too great, and the best option at present was to retreat and reunite with Ace and the others.

But Lin Tian felt somewhat unwilling to leave just like that.

"According to the law that you must go into cooldown after using your ultimate skill, and the principle of conservation of energy, Gilgamesh must be in a very bad state right now."

Lin Tian thought about it again. It was an undeniable fact that Gilgamesh defeated Lancer and Lancelot, but the two Heroic Spirits in his hands were not to be underestimated either.

Gilgamesh must have expended a lot of energy to win this war and will not be able to recover to his peak condition in a short period of time (except for Tokiomi Tohsaka using Command Spells).

"Let's go check it out first. Maybe Gilgamesh hasn't returned to Tokiomi Tohsaka's side yet. Besides, I'm going to launch a sneak attack, not a duel. One chance is enough!"

......

Chapter 129 What?! Who dares to be so audacious as to call themselves Gilgamesh 2.5?!

Lin Tian took out his phone and checked his stats; his health had reached 207. This was about nine times thicker than the "health bar" of a magician in this world.

No matter how strong Gilgamesh was, Lin Tian believed that he could at least withstand one of the opponent's basic attacks.

In addition, he had an emergency evacuation app on his phone and two sets of apples in his space backpack.

"I feel like I could give it a try..."

With the means to escape and recover his condition, Lin Tian felt he could still "have some fun".

Who says characters in casual games are all weak?

Lin Tian wanted to prove to the strong in this world that casual "players" are invincible.

After making his decision, he deactivated the flame-breathing effect of the Flame-Flame Fruit. This skill was indeed fast, but its stealth was extremely poor.

He's going to launch a sneak attack. If he uses this skill to get close to Tokiomi Tohsaka, his location will be exposed before he even gets close.

So... he chose a different approach, just like when he severed Kenneth's wrist, to approach his opponent silently while concealing his presence.

"Insect Breathing, activate!"

Instantly, Lin Tian felt his body become much lighter, and the speed at which he swung his arms increased by 50%. The unique aura emanating from him also became extremely faint, making him very difficult for others to detect.

The "Insect Breathing" technique, like chakra, was a reward given to Lin Tian by the island's will when Shinobu Kocho became a resident of the island. Although he didn't learn Shinobu's swordsmanship techniques, this breathing technique brought him three buffs after the island's will improved upon him.

Light, swift, and stealthy.

Unfortunately, Lin Tian had only had the Breathing Technique for a short time, and he hadn't yet found a balance—using the Flame-Flame Fruit's power and the Breathing Technique simultaneously. This meant that when using Flame Jet Flight, he could no longer apply the three buffs of Lightness, Swiftness, and Stealth to himself.

However, Lin Tian believed that in the near future, he would definitely master the ability to use the Flame-Flame Fruit and Breathing Technique simultaneously.

And so, Lin Tian seemed to transform into a butterfly, "flying" towards Tokiomi Tohsaka.

......

The place where the master was murdered.
