I'm really not a top magician

"The new body I got was destroyed by that brat from the Tohsaka family!"

"Damn Sajo Aika!"

The bugs screamed in anger.

If he had not secretly hidden his true body in the sewer at the last moment, he would have been destroyed by Tōsaka Tokiomi's gem magic long ago.

"But these Heroic Spirits are truly foolish! Even so, they couldn't see through my magic. Ultimately, Heroic Spirits are just tools. Their strength is determined by their master."

In his heart, Mushiko mocked Tōsaka Tokiomi's talent without reservation.

It's not surprising that the insects are so arrogant.

After all, he had just barely survived a fatal battle.

To be honest, the bug himself didn't think there was any possibility of survival, after all, those heroic spirits were watching him.

If his true form were to reveal even the slightest flaw, he would die.

But now it seems that

The careful layout that Bug had just laid out still managed to escape the eyes of these heroes of human history.

Thinking of this, the bug couldn't help but admire his own strength.

"Bugs should behave like bugs!"

Gilgamesh's voice suddenly rang out.

Before it could react, the bug was stepped on the ground by Gilgamesh.

"You, you are from the Tohsaka family..."

The insect was so confused that it was almost crazy. It was completely frightened by Gilgamesh's brutal behavior, and the unspeakable terror directly enveloped it.

Gilgamesh observed the bugs beneath his feet, his expressionless gaze revealing no trace of emotion.

"What? It's just a little bug. I thought you wanted something bigger."

In fact, the real insect body of Zouken Matou is not so short.

In order to hide from other people's sight, he changed into this smaller insect.

Although Gilgamesh was talking about a "little bug"

But in fact, Zouken Matou's true form is actually as big as a palm.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!! No, you're mistaken, Hero King! I just want to live forever. As long as you and Tokiomi become the winners and take everything into your hands, that's all. I won't be an obstacle to you..."

The insect twisted its body vigorously and begged for mercy from Gilgamesh with an almost hoarse insect chirp.

"Really? It seems that this filthy body has not only destroyed your body, but also polluted your eyes?" Gilgamesh said contemptuously and began to exert force with his feet.

Matou Zouken made a huge mistake.

They have forgotten that Gilgamesh is the only king in the world.

So he who seeks to be king,

“Wait, wait, wait, I… I’m planning this for you and Tokiomi, okay? So, so there’s no such thing as killing innocent people.”

"A bug is still just a bug. It's been squirming underground for two hundred years. It must be tired, right? Come on, you can disappear now."

Gilgamesh stepped hard,

The ground was covered with the blood of insects.

Matou Zōkō,

As a bug, he died under the feet of others.

Just like his fate...

Yuanzang Mountain, inside the cave,

Gil, a magician, returns here again.

He was the caster who was defeated by Aika Sajo's holy sword in the previous Holy Grail War.

Just when he was about to face death,

A miracle happened.

He was resurrected by the Holy Grail.

Although he didn't know why he was resurrected by the Holy Grail at the time, the following words shocked him completely:

"Welcome back, Jill."

A female voice was heard, full of majesty, as if coming from an ancient emperor.

Jill turned around and saw a familiar figure.

The girl in front of him was holding a black sword and wearing a black battle armor. Although Jill did not recognize her attire, the face behind the armor was...

But he recognized it clearly.

"Saint...Lady Saint!"

That's right,

Jill was resurrected by the Saint.

From that day on, Jill stayed in Yuanzang Mountain under the command of the Saint.

Just before that, he received an order from the Saint to recruit the Matou family in Fuyuki City, and it was also explained that the head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, himself still had cells of the Demon Pillar in his body.

Jill also understood the specific situation this time, and was very clear about the conspiracy of the Demon Pillar and the Magic King.

"Lady Saint, Zouken Matou is dead." Jill knelt on one knee in front of the black-armored female knight sitting on the throne deep in the cave, and said respectfully.

"No problem, Jill."

The Black Knight, known as the Saint, spoke up, "So, how's your research going regarding Sajo Aika?"

Then,

Inside the unknown Yuanzang Mountain,

An inexplicably appearing third force has officially appeared.

This battle was later known as

"Fourth Holy Grail War Singularity"

P.S.: The chapters I'm talking about are the ones I owed due to previous bounties. As for the chapters I've taken a break in the past few months, they don't count as chapters I owe.

ps: There are still 15 chapters left to be paid.

Chapter 274 Weber's Decision

In order to comfort Waver's wounded heart, Rider

So the two of them played all night in a video game store, which was a rare occasion.

Although Waver, who usually takes magic as his own mission, thinks that video games are just playthings that will lead to loss of ambition,

But perhaps feeling the pressure before the final battle, he still fooled around with the rider all night.

When he returned to the home of the old couple Makaiji in Miyama Town,

The night sky has begun to turn white.

But it was obvious that he returned too late, so Weber walked for a long time without seeing a taxi. If he had not met a family who happened to be going the same way, Weber might have had to walk for several more hours before returning.

But only at this moment did Weber vaguely feel that the nonsense he and Rider had just done seemed a bit too much.

But what worries him most is the decisive battle with Sajo Aika.

Although Weber was a little bit overwhelmed by the encouragement of Aika Sajo at that time, he quickly accepted Aika Sajo's invitation to the final battle.

Thinking about the decision he made back then, Weber felt that he was stupid.

Why should I win against Sha Tiao Ai Ge?

Facing the Aika Satori who was invincible in the Clock Tower... Weber really couldn't think of any other means of restraint, especially in a frontal combat.

Ah! If only I could use the luck I got from catching a ride tonight in battle!

Weber felt inexplicably anxious about this misplaced luck.

At this moment, he heard someone calling him.

"Hey, Weber, come here."

The place where the sound came from turned out to be the top of my head.

He looked up and saw that the owner of the house, Old Man Gulan, who he thought was still asleep, was sitting on the roof of the second floor, waving to him standing at the door.

"Grandpa? What are you doing?" Weber asked curiously.

"Okay, okay, come up quickly. I have something to tell you." said old man Gulan.

"You have something to say? Then why did you go up to the roof to say it?"

“Here you can enjoy scenery that you can’t normally see.”

Elder Wulan said with a pleased smile, "It's the best place to be the first to bask in the morning light."

This strange behavior can only make people wonder if he is senile.

To be honest, Weber didn't want to accompany him.

Enduring the night chill and dragging his tired feet back, Weber now just wanted to get into bed as soon as possible and let his tired body rest.

But out of courtesy, Waver still asked the old man's opinion, but there was a hint of impatience in his words: "Grandpa, if you have something to say, can you wait until daytime?"

"Don't say that."

Although his tone was calm, Old Man Gulan was very stubborn.

"Better go up, boy. The old man looks like he wants to say something to you."

A rough voice that only Waver could hear spoke to him from over his shoulder.

In order to face the final battle, Rider promised Weber to conserve his magic power, so he remained in spirit form on the way back.

"I'll be checking the situation around here, don't worry." Rider added.

"It's not about whether I care or not!"

Weber was about to retort, but he quickly fell silent.

Because Elder Gulan couldn't see the Servant's spiritual form, if Waver spoke, it would look like he was talking to himself strangely.

"Really? Why doesn't anyone care about my feelings?" Weber complained.

As the Holy Grail War was about to reach its final battle, he had no choice but to fight against this unrelated old man.

Weber couldn't help but feel indignant.

However, arguing about this would only make the time drag on longer. Even if that wasn't the case, I would be speechless when asked why I came back in the morning.

As a result, Weber had no choice but to walk towards the roof where the old man was.

One thing that makes the MacKenzie house different from the surrounding houses is that it has a shed and skylight on the roof.

It is easy to climb up to the roof through the skylight by climbing the ladder that extends from the second-floor stairwell to the roof hut. This is not accidental, but was designed to make it easy to climb onto the roof when the house was built.

Once you get used to it, getting on the roof is pretty easy.

Although it is so easy to get onto the roof, one must endure the cold, frosty winter mornings.

Weber came out of the skylight, shivering in the north wind.

With absolutely no shelter, the wind was so cold it couldn't be felt on the ground.

"Sit down. Here, I've got some coffee. Drink it to warm you up."

As old man Gulan spoke, he poured the steaming liquid from the thermos into the cup.

Wearing a down jacket and wrapped in several blankets, it seems that the old man has made full preparations to keep out the cold.

Weber couldn't understand what the old man was doing here.

"Grandpa, since when have you been sitting here?" Weber asked curiously.

"I woke up at daybreak and found that you hadn't come back yet."
