Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Having such a teammate must be tough.

Samael looked at Eresh, who was so depressed she felt like she was going to vomit blood, with pity and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for her.

The father and daughter they were given were truly exceptional.

They are definitely at odds with the two members of the Tohsaka family; if they are not careful, they might get killed.

"Anyway, it's in your hands now, do whatever you want with it. It's just a single competition, it won't determine the final winner."

Realizing there was no way to salvage the situation, Eresh glared fiercely at a certain incompetent teammate, then crossed her arms and snorted coldly, quite decisively.

However, Samael did not take the opportunity to kick them while they were down. Instead, he casually tossed a few rolls of bandages to his two temporary allies to help them recover their health.

After all, it might feel good to stab someone in the back now, but what if they're exposed later? Wouldn't they be left to dry like a snake?

Since the situation is still unclear, let's seek cooperation first, and then settle the score when the end is near.

Of course, friendship is friendship, and competition is competition. Medical supplies are not given away for free; they need to be exchanged for relevant intelligence.

When the two had recovered some of their health and the atmosphere between them had eased somewhat, Samael asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Look at how disheveled you all are, what happened?"

"What else could it be? I'm being chased."

Ai Lei twitched her lips, her expression both frustrated and complicated.

Two goddesses teaming up, with their quick reflexes and this equipment, how could they be beaten like this?

Samael glanced back at the large hole blasted open by the special bullet behind him, and at the cool and heavy firearm in front of him, which had a kind of technologically ferocious feel, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Who on earth has such great power...?

"boom!"

Just as the ancient serpent was still puzzled, a dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground came again, and withered grass from the riverbank, along with splashing mud, fell in a flurry.

"Hehe, so this is where you are! I've finally found you!"

Accompanied by a dull mechanical grinding sound, a tall, heavy figure with a metallic sheen appeared at the front of the cave entrance. Rin Tohsaka and Ereshkigal, upon hearing that familiar yet mesmerizing laughter, couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

"run!"

Seeing this, the two instinctively squeezed out a word through gritted teeth, then simultaneously grabbed their weapons and supplies, turned and rushed toward the other exit of the culvert, running as fast as they could.

At this moment, Samael, who had slowed down and stopped in his tracks, stared at the iconic orange-gold mask and olive-green metallic armor. His pupils contracted sharply, and his facial muscles twitched violently.

Holy crap, Sergeant Major!

"Oh, two more? Heh heh heh heh, let me show you the Conqueror King's ravages!"

A moment later, the "Master Chief," dressed in olive-green Thor's Hammer power armor, burst into a hearty laugh at the entrance of the tunnel. He then raised his jet-black, high-tech weapon and pulled the trigger into the tunnel.

Instantly, a burst of intense white light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and wherever it passed, matter disintegrated.

Damn! [Sanctuary Beam Rifle]!

Samael, who had just pulled Tokiomi Tohsaka to lie down, looked at the side of the culvert that had been dug out with a deep trench and felt a chill run down his spine.

Are you kidding me? Can someone tell me what's going on?

Just as Samael, who had narrowly escaped death while lying on the ground, was ranting and raving, the "sergeant major," whose shot had missed, quickly turned his gun around and locked onto the two men in front of him again.

Wait, wait, wait, is this supposed to be a PUBG scenario? Are you sure I'm playing a PUBG script?

Gazing at the dark, gaping muzzle of the gun, now recharged, Samael felt as if a thousand alpacas were galloping through his mind.

"Boom! Boom!"

Just then, two dark red beams shot out from the side and struck the "Master Chief" directly. With a violent explosion and shock, dust and smoke filled the cave.

"Come on!"

As he heard the familiar call in his ear, Samael immediately suppressed his chaotic thoughts, grabbed Tokiomi Tohsaka beside him, and rushed out of the culvert. He rolled to the side and flipped all the way to the reinforced concrete slope. He raised his head and looked at Ereshkigal beside him, who still had a conscience.

"Is this what you call chasing after us?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? This is a completely different level of technology! No one could withstand this!"

Samael raised the Mosin-Nagant in his hand, his voice rising, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Asking me to take on interstellar power armor and beam weapons with a World War II-era gun? That's totally not how I'm supposed to fight! Am I supposed to deliver takeout?!

"Oh, right, I have some left over, you can use them first."

Rin Tohsaka realized what was going on, slapped her forehead, then summoned her equipment inventory, pulled out two high-tech gadgets with pure black paint and coils wrapped around their barrels, and tossed them to Samael and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Samael stared at the familiar shape of the weapon in his hand, his eyes bulging and his mouth twitching violently.

Damn, this is for cannon fodder use: a Star Wars blaster!

At the same time, the ancient serpent couldn't help but notice that the two of them seemed to be wearing tattered Imperial Stormtrooper armor.

At this moment, Samael, completely bewildered, looked at the "Master Chief" who had activated his energy shield, was wearing Thor's Hammer power armor, wielding a Templar Beam Rifle, and was approaching step by step despite the firepower of two blaster guns. He was on the verge of tears.

What the hell is going on?!

Chapter 168 Licking the Bag with Tears in His Eyes (4.3k)

However, before Samael could think for long, the approaching "Master Chief" raised his fully charged Templar Beam Rifle and opened fire on the left and right sides of the culvert.

"Boom! Boom!"

With a violent tremor, the slope, tens of meters thick, was blasted through, and broken steel and concrete flew through the air with a sharp whistling sound, like shrapnel. The culvert also swayed precariously.

"What are you standing there for? Let's do it!"

Beside her, under the heavy firepower of the "Master Chief," Ereshkigal, covered in dust, spat out the astringent dust while urgently scolding her two distracted temporary allies.

"Ooh!"

Samael and Tokiomi Tohsaka exchanged a glance, nodded subconsciously, and quickly picked up the blaster on the ground. They each leaned against Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka's side, and following the system's guidance, pulled the trigger, intending to repel the "Master Chief".

Moments later, beams of light focused and emitted by the chip crisscrossed and flew about, accompanied by a series of violent explosions. The flashing halos and sparks illuminated the dim culvert.

Even with the combined strength of the four of them, their cannon fodder-grade blaster was unable to inflict effective damage on the energy shield with a defense value of up to 1000 points and the solid Thor's Hammer power armor.

Worse still, due to the rapid firepower from both sides, the culvert slope that originally provided some shelter has become a dilapidated ruin, with even the heavy structure being reduced to a thin layer.

"Boom!"

As if things weren't bad enough, a beam of bright white light swept past, and half of the four people's shelter collapsed with a crash. The four people, who were lying on the ground and were almost buried alive, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines when they heard the familiar sound of an engine running.

"Click! Click!"

Just when the situation was critical, the Templar Beam Rifle in the Master Chief's hand made a series of crisp trigger pulls, but the muzzle remained motionless.

Out of bullets!

Yes, while the Templar Beam Gun is incredibly powerful, its drawbacks are equally obvious: its ammunition capacity is severely insufficient.

Instantly realizing this opportunity, Samael was about to rush out of his hiding place to launch a counterattack.

Meanwhile, Tokiomi Tohsaka on the opposite side also raised his head, clearly having the same thought.

"return!"

However, as soon as they stood up, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka pulled them to the ground.

"Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, two beams of bright white light pierced across the sky and exploded on the slope behind them, splashing up large amounts of scorched mud mixed with grass clippings and gravel.

"...It was a miscalculation. Sure enough, the success rate drops significantly when the same strategy is used twice..."

The sergeant habitually raised his hand to stroke his chin, his rough voice carrying a deep sense of regret.

Having escaped unscathed, Samael and his companion stared at the reactivated Temple Beam Gun, their lips twitching slightly, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.

I almost forgot, Iskandar, that old fellow, was also a master of tactics in history.

Those who play tactics are all dirty-minded.

If luring the snake out of its hole doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to force.

The sergeant shook his head regretfully and started moving again, preparing to use the superior performance of the Thor's Hammer power armor to force a breakthrough, when two hand grenades with coils wrapped around them rolled to his feet.

"Boom! Boom!"

Immediately afterward, in the instant the "sergeant major" instinctively took a step back, a blue-black arc of electricity exploded, and dazzling deep blue sparks burst forth in the dimly lit, half-collapsed culvert.

Enveloped by the electric arc, the "sergeant major" was slowed down, and the gold display screen on his helmet flickered.

Clearly, these are two magnetic storm grenades, which are highly effective against powered armor.

"go!"

But Rin Tohsaka and Ereshkigal, who had successfully restrained the steel monster, retreated instead of advancing. They grabbed their two temporary allies and ran towards the roadside along the Miwa River without looking back.

Because in this fierce battle, not only the opposing side, but they too have reached the point of running out of ammunition and supplies.

Besides, given the superior performance of the Thor's Hammer power armor, the Magnetic Storm Grenade can only temporarily disable that thing. Who knows if that old fox on the other side has some other tricks up his sleeve? Taking advantage of the situation to run away and regroup is undoubtedly the wisest thing to do.

Sure enough, the four of them jumped into a relatively intact Hummer SUV nearby, and as soon as they started the engine, a familiar roar came from behind them.

"I'll drive it!"

Seeing that the olive-green hunk gradually regained his mobility and unloaded the empty bullets he had just used up, replacing them with a plasma pistol and slowly pointing it at them, Samael, in a moment of desperation, quickly grabbed the steering wheel, floored the accelerator, and drove the SUV with the ferocity of Formula FI.

"Bang! Bang!"

The instant the SUV left the vehicle, a barrage of blue-black plasma bombs struck the original spot, creating a half-meter crater. Asphalt fragments flew and clanged against the vehicle, producing a piercing metallic sound.

That was close! We dodged it!

As the vehicle accelerated and drove further and further away, Samael glanced in the rearview mirror at the "sergeant major" who had jumped onto the road and was standing there dejectedly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the way, seeing that the crisis had temporarily passed, the ancient snake couldn't help but ask the question that had been building up in his mind.

Upon learning that the two had been hiding in the culvert until now, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka were surprised but also looked on with schadenfreude.

After the two of them suppressed their teasing mood, they began to explain the whole story.

It turns out that each time the safe zone shrinks, the transport planes overhead will be deployed again to drop a new round of weapons and supplies.

These weapons and equipment are constantly being iterated and updated.

The Thor's Hammer power armor and Templar Beam Rifle worn by the Conqueror Iskandar, as well as the blaster guns in their hands and the damaged Imperial Stormtrooper armor, were all the latest batch of supplies dropped from above.

Back then, Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka were lying in wait at Mount Enzo, where they tricked and killed Rider's Master Waver, and then chased Iskandar, whose health was almost depleted, into a battle royale.

However, in the process, they inadvertently cornered the conqueror king in front of a newly delivered batch of packages.

Thus, the situation reversed, and Iskandar, equipped with Thor's Hammer power armor and matching weapons, began to hunt down the unlucky Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka.

The two sides chased and fled, and thus they ran into Samael and Tokiomi Tohsaka, who were hiding in the culvert.

Thinking of the humiliation of being relentlessly chased, Ai Lei's sinister gaze turned to her good sister beside her.

"It's all your fault! I told you we should have dealt with that guy first. Why did you have to open that package?"

"There's no way around it, it's a treasure chest! How could anyone resist..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Rin Tohsaka shrank back under her older sister's murderous gaze, muttering to herself in frustration.

Trying to open a box on the spot like other people? Don't you have any idea what your own luck level is?

Samael glanced at a certain shameless goddess who defied the Golden Rule but couldn't control her hands, and muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, after sorting through all the messy information, the ancient serpent cursed inwardly at a certain Satan disciple who was upholding "fairness."

Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy!

Aside from that priest and the cat princess who was responsible for broadcasting the battle, there's probably no one else who could use the Holy Grail system to pull off a series of fancy moves.

With the intervention of the two mediators, it's not surprising that classic weapons from Star Wars and Halo have appeared in PUBG.

Because the Holy Grail War itself is a game system built upon Samael's knowledge base.

If you want these gods from different eras to fight to the death, then the World War II-era stuff is a bit outdated.

In addition to the standard equipment for PUBG, he naturally also had more powerful and exciting gadgets in his mind.

Therefore, we have the situation where Thor's Hammer power armor replaced level 3 helmets and level 3 armor; and the Templar beam rifle replaced weapons such as the SVD, Mosin-Nagant, and 98k.
