I, the heroic substitute, was exposed

The moment the incarnation of the fast-moving Thor was about to step on Artoria's short body——

"Sword of Victory!"

The golden flashes that radiate like countless comets make the night as bright as the day.

"—!"

Weber, who was taken away by it and dazzled by it, could not help but turn away—under the intense impact, he understood a truth through extremely calm thinking.

Seeing the radiance of Artoria's Noble Phantasm with my own eyes means... the result of the King of Knights attacking before the wheel of Kamui reached the final step.

But even so, the tactile sensation of the thick arm extending all the way to the shoulder still hasn't disappeared.

Understanding one's own failure also means the fact that one is still alive and conscious.

Webber opened his eyes carefully and saw the terrible scene on the battlefield.

Due to the blow of the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", the road surface was burned up in an instant, and even the forest in the distance was blown away in an instant.

The asphalt reached its melting point and gave off a foul-smelling, very pungent smell.Who is holding the boy Master like a small piece of luggage? I don't need to ask.

"Ah...failed."

Iskandar whispered as if regretting from the bottom of his heart.However, considering the current situation, it seems to be an understatement.

It appears that Iskandar was also unhurt.

However, the chariot he was riding on, as well as the two divine bulls, had disappeared without a trace.

The Noble Phantasm "Wheel of Kamui" completely absorbed the power of the "Sword of Promised Victory", so it disappeared without a trace like Caster's Sea Demon before, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

At the moment when he was on the verge of death, Iskandar, who realized his failure, quickly hugged Waver from the throne, and escaped from the attack of the Noble Phantasm on the castle at the very moment.

It can be said that the two were close to death.But the price is high enough.Iskandar's flying chariot, which had been the main weapon since then, was wiped out at the last moment.

However, this didn't end - Weber immediately used the will to fight to drive away the frustration of failure.

Even if the "Wheel of Kamui" is taken away, King Conqueror still has a real trump card.

【Boy, you finally understand what [Dad] is. 】

[The king of conquest is domineering, and the king of foolish hair is domineering. 】

[It's a pity that there is no way to get out of domineering, there is only kingly way. 】,

[There is still glory on the other side! 】

【Bull: I was terrified at the time】

"Iskandar! Use the [King's Army]—"

Facing Waver who said that, Iskandar shook his head lightly but firmly.

In anticipation of the second half of the war at the time of the break, it seems that the King of Conquerors has no intention of overthrowing.

Against Artoria, it would be best to use a chariot.

The call of the guards, which can only be activated once, must be saved until the subsequent confrontation with Archer.

However, no matter how strong Iskandar was and refused to admit defeat, it was obvious that Artoria had an absolute advantage in hand-to-hand combat without mobility.

Although there is a huge difference in physique between the two, this is a battle between servants beyond common sense

Well, although Artoria looks like a weak subordinate, she has a monster-like fighting ability, and Weber has already fully realized it through the battles so far.

Obviously Iskandar is also very aware of her strength.

However, the King of Conquerors still showed no signs of timidity, and confronted Arturia with his sword upright, showing no sign of shrinking back.

In this close contest of staring at each other, Artoria was the first to lose.

She put the storm-wrapped sword into its sheath, then let off the throttle and slid the rear wheels to reverse the direction of the car, speeding away with her back to Iskandar.

Without selling the opening to Iskandar at all, Artoria accelerated rapidly again while sliding the rear wheel, leaving behind a huge roar of the exhaust, and flew towards Einzbern Castle in one breath.

It was of course a surprise to Waver and the others, but Arturia realized that she had been tricked, and she had to retreat as soon as possible even if she put aside the duel with Iskandar.

It disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, leaving only the roar of the motorcycle fading away, and Weber and the others stood there dumbfounded listening to the sound of the motorcycle.

Iskandar, who had been listening to the exhaust sound, nodded with a knowing expression.

"Motorcycle... well, it's really a good thing."

"—You, the first thing you said after losing was this?"

Waver, who suddenly lost all his strength in the aftermath of the battle and angrily questioned Iskandar, suddenly realized an important question, and became very depressed.

"Hey, Iskandar—how the hell did we get there?"

"Ah, then, we have to go back."

"--yes."

In the darkness, Wei Bo looked at the shining lights of Xindu in the distance, and sighed deeply.Then the emperor's treasure is broken?

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

[Niu: At this time, I suggest that you do not ask the master but my opinion. 】

【Great Emperor: Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop, how can you just open it up? ! 】

[Sabar's armor looks too much like a maid outfit. 】

【My king is beautiful as a picture】

【The wind listens to my call】

[Just after shouting about curry sticks, the power went out at my house, what's going on? 】

[Then the emperor's treasure is broken? 】

[This is the correct way to fight. 】

[Read the article faster. 】

Chapter 224 221: Matou Zouyan vs Kotomine Kirei!

Matou, Zouken——

In front of him was the mastermind behind the Matou family whose name he had never seen before, and Kotomine Kirei's consciousness could not help but switch to a battle-ready state.

Cleverly chose the small figure standing in the dark corner of the night street where the bright light cannot penetrate.

Although his appearance was dry and old, on the contrary this old man was a very dangerous existence, Tokiomi repeatedly said this to himself.

Although on the surface he declared that he had retired from the world, but he secretly used the secret technique of the magic way to sing his own life.

A weirdo who has ruled the Matou family for several generations.

In a certain sense, he is much more dangerous than Kariya as the Master, a character who needs special attention.

The explosion at the Matou Mansion a few days ago does not seem to have killed the old man.

"Kotomine Kirei. I heard that you are the son of that particularly stubborn and upright Kirei, aren't you?"

"Indeed."

Hearing this hoarse voice asking, Kirei nodded in agreement.

"Hmph—it's too unexpected. People often say that golden phoenixes fly out of chicken coops, and it's true. I didn't expect that man to give birth to a treacherous and cunning son like you."

"What's the matter with you, Matou Zouken."

Kirei ignored the old magician's provocation and asked.

"You are clearly on Kariya's side, why are you hiding here and eavesdropping?"

"What? I did this only out of the painstaking efforts of the parents to worry about their children. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of help this child Kariya has found."

Deliberately pretending to smile like that kind of good grandpa, but there is something obviously different from ordinary people in that withered face like a skeleton.

It seemed obvious that such a smile was impossible based on the makeup of his face.

"I heard everything you said to Kariya to please Kariya. You seem to be planning to get rid of the son of the Tohsaka family."

"Indeed, that man killed my father—"

"Stop it, don't tell that kind of lie a second time."

The sunken eye sockets buried in the wrinkles stared at Kirei with a piercing light.

"Kotomine Kirei, you are showing off your own cleverness too much. You are too bold to act without Tohsaka's knowledge. When you said you wanted to get rid of Tokiomi, from that moment on you don't need any help at all. Kariya's hand came to kill him, you must have been fully prepared—I'm not too old to be foolish yet. Although you can fool Kariya, don't try to fool me."

"..."

Inwardly, he secretly raised his evaluation of the old magician, but Kirei still pretended to be calm.

"Your goal is not for the son of the Tohsaka family, but for Kariya himself. Right?"

"... If you doubt me so much, why don't you dissuade me?

What about Kariya? "

There was a creepy sound like a swarm of insects chirping, and after a while, Kirei realized that it was the old man's suppressed laughter.

"Well, how should I put it, it can be said that it is just out of my curiosity. I want to see what method you used to 'destroy' Kariya. I am very interested in this point."

"...Zouken, watching Kariya's chances of winning for the Matou family be ruined bit by bit, is that okay?"

"Kariya's? Odds? Hmph, that kind of thing didn't exist from the very beginning. If that kind of trash can win the Holy Grail, those three fights in the past would be a farce."

"I don't quite understand. Isn't the Matou family also one of the Gosan families who are eager to get the Holy Grail?"

【Can you let me go, Uncle Yan...】

【500 years of persistence】

【Kotomine Kirei: Is this guy happier than me? 】

[Actually, Lord Chong is not weak]

【Kariya must have sent it for the phone bill】

Hearing Kirei's question, Zouken sneered under his nose.

"In my opinion, the sons of the Tohsaka family and those of the Einzbern family are idiots. If you remember the last battle clearly, you will understand that this fourth Holy Grail War is a bit strange. , I should be vigilant about this. I saw through this battle from the very beginning. In fact, from the beginning of the battle, look at Caster's ineffective appearance. It is obvious that it is not a heroic spirit who is attracted, but someone who is far from the heroic spirit. Evil Spirit, there is no doubt that something is wrong with the system of the Holy Grail War. First of all, we need to clarify this problem."

"..."

Probably this weirdo beyond human common sense.

Be in it every time the Holy Grail War breaks out.

Even Kotomine Risho, the former supervisor, didn't know about it, but this Matou Zouken has already mastered it.

"Then why are Kariya and Berserker involved? Why are Servants ready if you're only going to stand by?"

"No, it's a bit dubious, but it's a big 60th anniversary celebration. It's no fun watching kids messing around there. So I found a way to enjoy it in my own way. "

Zouken said in a somewhat funny tone.The corners of his mouth were even more crooked, and there was a smile all over his face.

"Of course, if that underdog does grab the Holy Grail, there's nothing better than that. Having said that, I'm really impatient."

Seeing the distressed look of Kariya who betrayed me, to be honest - I really can't get enough of it.I have the desire to look forward to the victory of the Matou family, but I am also tempted by the idea of ​​seeing Kariya's defeat and desperation.It was so hard to decide.

Zouken's hoarse laughter was really harsh to Kirei.If only this encounter had been on the battlefield, where the two sides would fight to the death with real knives and guns instead of using words.Although he clearly knew that the other party was a very dangerous old magician, he still couldn't help but think so.It seems that for Kirei, the existence of Matou Zouken has reached such an unbearable level.

"You...want to see the distress of your relatives, so longing to this extent?"

Zouken raised his eyebrows as if deliberately making fun of Kirei's questioning from Kirei who was trying his best to cover up his true inner expression.

"Ah, what a surprise. I thought you could understand my joy."

"--What did you say?"

"Although I look old. Kotomine Kirei, my nose is still very sharp. You have the same smell as me. Like the maggots that were attracted by Kariya's carrion and crawled here .”

"..."

Kirei remained silent, and slowly pulled out the black key from the vestment.

Because he understands that it is no longer possible to rely on reason to be ruthless, and it has reached the point where he will fight to the death with this old magician.

Now Zou Yan has already spotted the opportunity.
