Is this okay?

But on their way to escape to the suburbs, Artoria was suddenly stopped by Caster.

"Ah! Holy Maiden! My Holy Maiden! I never expected to see you here."

The sudden appearance of the caster made Artoria stop in her tracks and become cautiously on guard.

But at this moment...

Artoria didn't understand what the other person meant. Although the rules of the Holy Grail War had changed, it didn't mean that the battle between Masters would end.

"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else. I am not the saint you're talking about."

The upright Artoria would not impersonate others, nor would she do anything against her principles.

Although for a moment she thought of having the person she had mistaken for someone else intercept Leng Mo and the others to buy her time, as a knight, she absolutely could not allow herself to do such a thing.

So she cautiously said, "Excuse me, I have to leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Artoria ran off into the distance without saying another word, leaving Caster standing there looking distressed.

It was snowing, and the destruction was quite elaborate.

Caster opened his mouth as if he had been severely struck and cried out in grief towards the sky.

"Ah—! My saint! Is this God's punishment for you! Damn God!"

Sorrowful cries echoed through the snow-covered streets.

Just then, Caster suddenly sensed someone approaching him.

It's one man, and behind that man are several others.

This man is Leng Mo!

Leng Mo, who had been chasing after Artoria, was taken aback when he saw Caster. Wasn't this Marshal Gilles?

Although it was unexpected, now is not the time to worry about that.

Leng Mo didn't think much about it. When he saw Jill, he only had one thought: to kill her and win!

Leng Mo could ignore the other Heroic Spirits, but he couldn't possibly ignore this one. Keeping Gilles around would cause many people to die.

Alright, let's ask Saber for directions first and then take him down.

"I'm asking you, did you see a woman carrying a girl running away from where?" Leng Mo asked Jill expressionlessly, his face devoid of any compassion.

"Huh!? Who are you! Ah! I understand now, no wonder the Holy Maiden ignored me and ran away, so... so it was all for my own good! She pretended not to know me to avoid getting me involved in this... Ahhhhhh! Holy Maiden! My Holy Maiden!!"

As if she had understood the truth, Jill burst into tears and shouted at Leng Mo through gritted teeth.

"The saint's enemy is my enemy... Die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, purple mist emanated from Jill's body, and the surrounding light dimmed accordingly.

There was even something surging beneath the ground, accompanied by traces of movement like snakes.

Just then, Akemi Homura's voice came from behind Leng Mo.

"Ability activated! Exclude one Kyubey—except for casting magic! Target: Caster! Gilles de Rais!"

"YES! MYQUEEN!!"

Kyubey's heroic sacrifice was heard after Homura Akemi's voice.

Immediately afterwards, Jill's body in front of Leng Mo turned to ashes and disappeared with screams and an incredulous look in her eyes.

"How is this possible... Ahhhhh! My body... My existence... My saintess... Ah! I'm dead!"

In the blink of an eye, Jill vanished from Leng Mo's sight without the slightest pause; she was truly gone in the blink of an eye.

"???"

Leng Mo stood there, looking back at Akira Miho with a bewildered expression, his face full of surprise.

Seeing Leng Mo's gaze, Homura Akemi smiled confidently and said nonchalantly, "No need to thank me. I know you don't like killing. I can handle this myself."

"You're overthinking it. What I meant was... I didn't even have time to ask which way Artoria was going before you wiped out the other side. I'm really upset..."

"..."

Homura Akemi paused upon hearing this, then gave up entirely.

"That's not something I need to care about, that's your business. I'm just Homura Akemi."

"..."

You imitated Madoka's style so perfectly, I couldn't help but get hard! My fist is hard!

When Leng Mo saw that Homura Akemi had also learned such shameless tactics, he was immediately filled with turmoil. He even wanted to curse Madoka-senpai and see what kind of person she had led her to.

But it doesn't matter!

No problem, we still have the invincible senior, Madoka.

"Senior Xiaoyuan, quickly use your invincible detector to think of a solution!" Leng Mo shouted anxiously at Senior Xiaoyuan. He had lost track of Artoria's location, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"I just can't do anything with you, Nobita."

Upon hearing this, Senior Xiaoyuan reached into her small bag and pulled out a detection radar, then began to operate it.

The next second, the location of Artoria and Illya was locked.

"let's go!"

Once Leng Mo got his position, he waved his hand and led the main force to charge forward.

……

suburbs.

Chapter 226 As expected of Artoria!

suburbs.

The snow got heavier, and heavy snow was falling.

Artoria, carrying Illya, hid in the forest. Her face was pale, and she had no idea what to do next. She couldn't fight back, and she couldn't escape. For a moment, she was filled with despair and helplessness.

The surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower.

Cold, shaking.

The cold wind was extremely biting on my face; not only was it cold, but even Ilya in my arms felt shivering.

But she knew very well that the current situation did not allow her to complain, so she kept it to herself.

Crackling sound.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the snow, causing Artoria's expression to darken.

They've caught up.

She had realized the seriousness of the situation; there was no escaping it now.

Just then, Leng Mo's voice came from not far away.

"Isn't this Artoria? I can't believe you've changed so much in just half an hour!"

Leng Mo's voice, tinged with subtlety, came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Artoria took a deep breath. She knew there was no way to avoid it, so she stood up and shielded Illya behind her.

"I will not let you hurt Ilya!" She stared firmly at Leng Mo without showing any sign of backing down.

"Harm? No, no, no, you've got it wrong. We never intended to harm her from the beginning; we wanted to save her!" Leng Mo crossed his arms confidently, his expression full of certainty and seriousness.

"You think I'd believe your nonsense? If you really wanted to save Ilya, why didn't you contact Alice instead of coming directly to her?" Artoria stared at Leng Mo, showing no sign of believing him.

"I just don't want to waste time. After we save Ilya, the next one will be Irisviel!" Leng Mo said nonchalantly, his words filled with an air of self-will.

"As expected, you guys never intended to let anyone off the hook from the very beginning!"

Artoria's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth as she shouted, gripping the invisible holy sword tightly with both hands, ready to fight at any moment.

At this moment, He Zhen, who was behind Leng Mo, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Amo, stop wasting time talking to this guy, let's go! Hurry up, just like that guy before."

"That guy from before?" Artoria frowned upon hearing this, sensing that something was amiss.

Randomly, his eyes widened suddenly, staring at Leng Mo in astonishment.

"Could it be... that you've taken Caster..."

“That’s right!” Leng Mo admitted without hesitation.

"How could you be so cruel! How many people are you going to kill?!"

"Do you...remember the bread you ate?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing Leng Mo's reply, Artoria's heart sank, filled with disbelief.

This guy doesn't treat other people like human beings at all!

That being the case...

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" she cried out in her most sincere voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she strode forward and rushed towards Leng Mo.

It was fast and full of momentum.

Seeing this, Leng Mo's lips curled into a smile, and he spread his hands confidently, saying:

"Kazuma, Tatsumi, give me your hands."

"?"

"?"

Kazuma and Tatsumi didn't quite understand what this meant, but at the same time, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within them!

Could it be that!

It's too late to say, then soon!

Kazuma and Tatsumi quickly retreated, but how could Leng Mo not have expected such a situation?

With a flash of brilliance, Leng Mo reached out and grabbed Kazuma and Tatsumi with lightning speed. In an instant, Leng Mo's hand, like a serpentine claw, firmly gripped Kazuma and Tatsumi's wrists.

"Nani!"

"Holy crap! You idiot, let me go!!!"

Tatsumi and Kazuma were shocked the moment they were captured; they already knew what Leng Mo was about to do.

That's... the aura of human flesh slaughter!

"Tatsumi, Kazuma! We're comrades, I would never hurt you!"

Leng Mo grabbed the two of them and smiled warmly, showing no fear whatsoever at the approaching Artoria.

"Let go! You idiot, you crushed snail! I... I'll just split open!" Kazuma frantically slapped Leng Mo's hand, trying to break free, but it was no use.

Tatsumi, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. He understood that he could not escape and that his only option now was to self-destruct.

In an instant, a glint flashed in Tatsumi's eyes, as if he were afraid of what he was thinking, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He asked, trembling, "Kazuma, Amo won't let us go. Since we can't escape, let's join forces! As long as we hold hands, everyone will meet the dual-wielding requirement. What do you think it would be like if we all activated our Killing Aura at the same time?"

"hiss!!"

"What?! Such a big bag!"

Leng Mo and Kazuma gasped upon hearing Tatsumi's analysis, and even Madoka, Homura Akemi, and Sheer beside them couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Is this something a human could come up with?

However... thinking about it carefully, it seems... maybe... probably... it really is possible!

The three people simultaneously fulfilled the conditions, activated their abilities at the same time, and became entangled together by miracles and magic.

Isn't this worse than quantum entanglement?

However, time was of the essence, and Artoria had already rushed up at that moment.

"Kazuma! He's coming!" Tatsumi's eyes narrowed, and he was ready.

"Although I'm very uneasy, my reckless curiosity makes me want to try it!" Kazuma grabbed Tatsumi's hand as fast as he could and said, unable to stop him.
