Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

She lowered her head, her smooth, short black hair obscuring her expression. Only her soft, dreamlike voice echoed quietly in the empty parking lot:

"It seems that my brother did something..."

“Brother?” Osmandis finally turned around, his golden eyes scrutinizing his nominal “little master” with interest, amusement on his face.

"Hehe... Judging from your expression, you really have a special fondness for your 'brother'."

He paused, the golden scepter in his hand tapping lightly on the ground with a dull thud. His tone carried the unquestionable questioning tone of a king: "So, little girl, now that your 'brother' is preparing to 'clear' this boring game ahead of schedule... what do you plan to do next?"

Sakura Tohsaka slowly raised her head. The confusion and timidity in her dark eyes were gone, replaced by a chilling, almost absolute calm and...icy determination.

"Stop him."

Her voice was soft, yet exceptionally clear.

Osmandis's smile grew even brighter, as if he was quite satisfied with the answer.

"Is it merely about stopping them?"

Sakura Tohsaka gently shook her head. Looking at Osmandis, she continued in a softer, yet colder, voice:

"If necessary... please take care of his Master as well."

……

Endless magical power, like a surging river, poured wildly into Tohsaka Yu's body through the newly established contract between Sajou Aika and the "Root"!

dong dong...

At this moment, Tohsaka Yuna could clearly hear that the [White Dragon Heart] within her body, under the infusion of this enormous, almost unfair, magical power, was pulsating heavily and powerfully, just like the heart of a dragon being awakened!

Each pulsation transforms the purest magic from the "root" into an ultimate enhancement of the physical body!

The muscles are screaming, the bones are being remodeled, and the blood seems to be burning!

The body is reaching a completely new, unprecedented, and even terrifying, realm.

This is a dragon's power, purely derived from "strength," seemingly capable of easily engulfing everything!

"Your current power..."

Morgan, standing to the side, watched the uncontrollable magical radiance emanating from Tohsaka Yu's body. A rare look of surprise flashed in his usually cold and arrogant ice-blue eyes.

"...even more powerful than an old friend I once met."

"Is it Vortigern?" Tohsaka Yu didn't turn around, but quietly felt the power rising within her body.

Morgan paused for a moment upon hearing this, but then understood. A complex smile curved her red lips beneath her veil: "Indeed... You are a modern person after all, so it's not surprising that you've heard the legends about King Arthur that have been passed down through the ages."

Yes, because we are modern people, we understand better what kind of heavy fate and regret this fairy queen and her "great" sister are burdened with.

Yu Tohsaka's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the center of the ceremony not far away.

Sajō Aika closed her eyes, maintaining her connection with the "Root"; while Tiamat sat obediently beside her, emanating a soft, unique aura belonging to the "Holy Grail".

He looked at the two people working hard for the ceremony not far away, then at the fairy queen beside him who also carried a heavy past, and suddenly asked softly, "Princess Morgan, when the Greater Grail truly descends, will you... wish to return to the time of Britain?"

Upon hearing this, Morgan's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

She remained silent, offering no reply, but her icy blue eyes unconsciously gazed towards the distant western horizon shrouded in night.

But her slightly clenched fingertips and the longing in her expression, though she tried to hide it, had already revealed her innermost thoughts.

Just as the two were talking, something unexpected happened!

A magnificent yet deadly golden light tore through the night sky without warning, like a shooting star from outer space, heading straight for the unsuspecting Sajou Aika, who was serving as the "path" in the center of the ceremony!

"not good!"

Morgan's icy blue eyes narrowed abruptly. She had sensed the attack almost instantly, but as the Ruler, she couldn't show herself. She could only look up at Tohsaka Yuu, about to speak.

However, the opponent was too fast, so fast that there was no time to react!

Morgan could only watch helplessly as the gleaming Noble Phantasm was about to pierce through Ayaka Sajō's body—

Just then, a figure appeared with a speed that surpassed the limits of human vision, like a ghost, and instantly blocked Sajō Ayaka's path!

Clang——! ! !

A crisp, piercing sound of metal clashing rang out!

Under Morgan's incredulous and shocked gaze, Tohsaka Yu actually stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the magnificent longsword that was rushing towards him at high speed, capable of easily piercing through anything!

Immediately afterward, as the second golden light arrived, he didn't even look at it. He simply flicked his wrist and used the longsword he had just grabbed to deftly deflect the force of the other battle axe that was shooting towards him!

Then he flung it into the air!

boom!

Two special treasures resounded loudly in the darkness!

Yu Tohsaka raised her head and looked at the figure that was slowly emerging from the golden airship high in the sky.

"I never expected that you would be the first guest tonight..."

"Hero King."

Volume 1: Chapter 75 One Night to Level the Holy Grail

High in the sky, the golden flying throne Vimana floated silently. Gilgamesh crossed his arms and looked down at the black-haired boy below who had just caught his "Gate of Babylon" with his own body.

For the first time, a complete and immense shock appeared in those scarlet eyes that always carried absolute arrogance and confidence.

What did he see? A Caster, actually grabbing a treasure from his vault with his bare hands?!

After a brief moment of shock, an indescribable rage, as if even the majesty of a king had been utterly desecrated, erupted from Gilgamesh's heart like a volcano!

“Bastard…” His voice was low, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling and murderous aura that could freeze the soul. “It’s been a while, and you have given me quite a ‘surprise’.”

Yu Tohsaka casually tossed the long spear, which had long since lost its luster, to the ground with a crisp clang.

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes: "How dare you stand in my way? Should I praise your courage or call you utterly foolish... you bastard?"

Yu Tohsaka flexed his wrists, feeling the surging power brought about by the combination of the [White Dragon Furnace Core] and the Root Magic within his body, and grinned: "King of Heroes, I don't intend to defeat you, as long as... I can hold you off, that's enough."

"Hold me back?" Gilgamesh, enraged, laughed, a dangerously smirk spreading across his face. "You overestimate yourself!"

He was about to unleash the Gate of Babylon once more to obliterate the arrogant Caster before him, when suddenly, an incredibly sharp spear light, accompanied by a clear, crisp sound, rang out from another direction!

“Archer, Caster’s opponent is me.”

Artoria, clad in silver-blue knight's armor and wielding a holy lance, appeared majestically atop the warehouse not far away, her emerald green eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit as she locked onto Tohsaka Yu.

Artoria... she really came too!

None of the others, including Tohsaka Yu, expected her to appear. He simply looked up and gazed ahead.

However, before he could speak, another grand voice, filled with supreme majesty and the heat of the sun, descended from the sky like a divine decree!

"A mere Caster has attracted two Servants? In that case, I don't mind ending this 'game' as soon as possible."

The phantom of the Radiant Great Composite Temple stood majestically in the night sky, with the figure of Sun King Osmandis standing proudly atop the temple, his golden eyes indifferently surveying everything below.

Even Morgan, who had been observing the scene from the apartment, showed a rare hint of surprise in his icy blue eyes when he saw this.

Rider, Archer, and Lancer... these three top Servants, all bearing the title of "King," have somehow found themselves on the same side in a unique way, and their target is none other than Caster.

At that moment, Kenneth's confident yet slightly mocking voice echoed from the darkness: "Yu, stop. Whatever you want to do, facing three top-tier Servants who bear the title of 'King' at the same time, you... have no chance of winning."

“Teacher.” Tohsaka Yu raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the darkness, landing on the direction where Kenneth was. His voice was calm, but carried an undeniable determination. “I am very grateful for your concern. But it is precisely because I do not want to see any more pointless sacrifices, and I do not want to see a magician like you die in vain for a 'wish' that has long been corrupted, that I must stand here tonight…”

“You…!” Kenneth was speechless. He never expected his disciple to say such “treasonous” words.

Yu Tohsaka didn't give him another chance to persuade him, because he knew it was pointless.

He resolutely rejected Kenneth's "suggestion," demonstrating his determination to completely resolve the source of the problem—the Greater Grail—tonight.

“…What hopeless stupidity.” Kenneth could only sigh regretfully, knowing that there was no point in saying anything more now.

He planned to have Lance take action and use the most direct method to "guide" his overly naive disciple.

However, just as he was about to give the order, another, more composed voice, which also carried a hint of authority and regret, rang out from another direction.

"Yu."

It's Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Yu Tohsaka's body stiffened slightly. He slowly turned his head and looked at that familiar shadow.

"...So it really was you." Tokiomi Tohsaka's voice carried a complex emotion that was hard to describe. "Although I had suspected it, seeing you appear in your Servant form in person still...I found it hard to believe."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of paternal questioning: "You, what exactly do you want to do?"

“Father, I have no interest in the Holy Grail War, and even less interest in the Great Grail that has long been corrupted.”

Yu Tohsaka calmly replied, "I just want to... completely sever this erroneous cause and effect that started because of the Greater Grail and has continued for generations. Whether it's for the Tohsaka family, the Matou family, or the Einzbern family."

Tokiomi Tohsaka fell silent; he could hear the resolute determination in his adopted son's words.

After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice gentle: "Can you give up this dangerous idea of ​​yours?"

After a long silence, he gently shook his head.

"Feel sorry."

The refusal was swift and decisive.

"Sigh..." Tokiomi Tohsaka let out a soft sigh filled with regret and helplessness.

Since persuasion is useless, then all that's left is... to fight.

If we can quickly eliminate Caster Tohsaka Yu here, and then immediately stop Sajou Aika's nonsensical ritual from being completed, everything... can be restored to normal, and the Holy Grail War can proceed as usual.

You should know that the three Servants present tonight are all 'kings' of their respective sides, and even one of them could definitely hold off Tohsaka Yu.

Regardless of the circumstances, Yu Tohsaka's plan is doomed to fail tonight.

In an instant, the terrifying pressure of the three kings locked onto Tohsaka Yu.

Both Gilgamesh and Artoria wanted to eliminate Caster themselves at this moment.

However, just as this great battle was about to erupt, and everyone thought the outcome was already decided—

Yu Tohsaka, who was firmly locked in by the aura of the three kings, suddenly smiled.

He glanced around at the three figures surrounding him, grinned, and slowly said:

"Who told you..."

"—It's three against one?"

Yuna Tohsaka's words, brimming with absolute confidence and a hint of mockery, were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up huge ripples in the hearts of Kenneth and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

What does that mean? Does he have accomplices?

The two magicians, both renowned for their cunning, had the same thought almost simultaneously, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

The three kings high above reacted very differently when they heard Caster's almost "provocative" remarks.

Artoria frowned slightly, seemingly wary of any potential changes.

Osmandis stared at Tohsaka Yu with amusement, without saying a word.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Gilgamesh's crimson eyes blazed with an even stronger light of excitement, as if he had discovered a new toy.

He was the first to notice the anomaly, and his gaze suddenly turned to the two shadows not far from Tohsaka Yu.

"Hahaha...hahahahahaha—!!!"

Gilgamesh suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with arrogance and pleasure. "Interesting! Very interesting! Merlin... and Gorgon! Even you guys have come!"

As he spoke, a dazzling pink petal appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield, like a phantom.

Merlin slowly walked out, his face bearing his signature gentle smile, and winked at Tohsaka Yu.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura filled with endless resentment and a destructive will erupted from the shadows on the other side!

The enormous, suffocatingly oppressive serpent goddess Gorgon slowly emerged from the darkness, her eyes, covered by an eyepatch, coldly sweeping over the three kings opposite her.

“Berserker…”

Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes flickered slightly as he stared incredulously at the enormous figure before him.

He knew that the Berserker was controlled by Kariya Matou. Since the Berserker was here, did that mean... that guy was also nearby?

With this in mind, Tokiomi Tohsaka quietly retreated and withdrew from the battlefield.
