Chapter 248 The Hero King Fights Four Against One (First Release, Later Revised)
Holy Grail.

As its name suggests, it is the core of the Holy Grail War.

It is also the legendary all-powerful wish-granting machine, and something that Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria both seek.

They all have unfulfilled desires that require the Holy Grail to grant.

But they did not know that the Holy Grail of today was a corrupted one.

It will still grant wishes, but it will do so in a malicious and distorted way.

For example, if Kiritsugu Emiya wishes to it to save all of humanity, it will unleash its power to kill all of humanity.

Therefore, the Holy Grail is no longer usable.

However, as a great magician of the Age of Gods, Medea had the ability to purify the Holy Grail.

After she purifies the Holy Grail, Fu Le will obtain a clean Holy Grail that can grant wishes.

But in reality, Fu Le doesn't need it.

The Holy Grail grants wishes by using immense magical power to shorten time.

For example, when someone makes a wish, they also need to specify how to fulfill that wish, and then the Holy Grail will magically help you skip the process and fulfill your wish.

Therefore, if you don't have a way to achieve your wish, it's useless even if you become the final victor.

This means that the Holy Grail is not an omnipotent wish-granting machine.

Because neither Kiritsugu Emiya's wish nor Artoria's wish can be fulfilled.

Fu Le did not have any wishes that required the Holy Grail to fulfill.

Compared to the wishes granted by the Holy Grail, Fu Le is more interested in the Holy Grail system itself, which can grant wishes.

While some wishes may not be fulfilled, the Holy Grail can grant the vast majority of them.

The ability to use magic to skip steps and get straight to the result was enough to amuse Fu Le.

This ability is itself a very strong and useful ability.

Furthermore, what Fu Le is more interested in, like the magicians, is the origin of this world.

In the Type-Moon universe, the Root is one of the core concepts, representing the ultimate essence of all existence and laws in the world.

The Origin is described as the beginning and end of all things, the origin and end of all phenomena, laws, matter, time, space, and parallel worlds.

It records and creates the entirety of the world; it is the embodiment of 'ultimate knowledge' and 'truth' in the Type-Moon universe.

That's why he became the ultimate goal pursued by all magicians in the Type-Moon world.

Fu Le was extremely interested in this kind of thing.

So Fu Le really wanted to go and take a look.

So he entrusted Medea to purify the Holy Grail, and after the Holy Grail War ended, he would go to the Holy Grail and take a shortcut to the Root.

"It is currently undergoing purification, and it will take some time to completely purify it."

Medea answered truthfully.

Purification of the Holy Grail is not easy.

But Medea had enough theory and power to purify it.

However, the key issue is that the Holy Grail descended at the location of the Fourth Holy Grail War, not at the Enzo-yama Ryudo-ji Temple during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Therefore, although Medea still established a magical base in Ryudouji Temple, it was not as convenient for her to do so as it was during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

This caused her efficiency to drop significantly.

However, Fu Le didn't care about this at all.

He has plenty of time.

As long as Medea can complete the purification of the Holy Grail, that's all that matters.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Fu Le smiled at Medea.

Medea nodded seriously.

"give it to me."

After the third night ended, on the fourth day, Fule summoned Iskandar and Artoria to discuss the encirclement and annihilation of Gilgamesh.

However, this time the meeting was held at the Tohsaka residence.

After Tokiomi Tohsaka left the Tohsaka residence with Gilgamesh, Fu Le came here.

Tokiomi Tohsaka left in a panic, leaving behind many important things.

For example, the Tohsaka family's collection of books.

After arriving here, Fu Le began to read the Tohsaka family's collection of books.

Since he came to the Matou family, he has read all of their books.

Fu Le was quite interested in magic in the Type-Moon universe.

Therefore, when Iskandar brought Waver and Artoria brought Irisviel to the Tohsaka residence, Fu Le was sitting among piles of books, reading the Tohsaka family's collection.

However, upon seeing the guests arrive, he stood up and greeted the four of them, saying, "Welcome, everyone."

"Haha, buddy, you're really not being polite. This isn't your home, is it?"

Iskandar laughed heartily.

“Since Tokiomi Tohsaka has abandoned them, I can naturally become their new master.”

Fu Le replied with a smile as well.

Anyway, he didn't turn off auto-pickup, so if he picked it up, it was his.

Then Fu Le looked at Weber, picked up a book and handed it to him, saying, "Well, Weber, would you be interested in reading the Tohsaka family head's collection of books? You know, the Tohsaka family's ancestors were disciples of the Jewel Elder."

"I am willing!"

Webber wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

He immediately accepted the book that Fu Le handed him.

He was extremely interested in the legacy of the Gemstone Elder.

However, he simply took the book without immediately flipping through it, for he had not forgotten that the purpose of his trip was to discuss their next steps.

Or rather, the final step in their alliance.

According to Iskandar's analysis, Weber already knew that once they defeated Gilgamesh, the alliance would no longer exist.

They will become enemies.

Although Iskandar was enough for this meeting, as his Master, he was unwilling to just be a bystander.

He also has to work very hard to analyze it.

"It seems you're all quite eager, so let's get straight to the point."

Seeing the way the others were looking at him, Fu Le gestured for them to sit down and then said directly, "Tokiomi Tohsaka has now gone into hiding, and the place where he is hiding is the Church of the Holy See."

"He actually hid right inside the Holy Church!"

Irisviel was somewhat surprised.

In her opinion, as a local bigwig, Tokiomi Tohsaka should have no shortage of hiding places.

Why did he choose the Holy Church?

If he had chosen the Holy Church, they would have had a real hard time dealing with him.

After all, that's a church of the Holy Church.

An unauthorized attack there might cause a conflict with the headquarters of the Holy Church, right?

"That's right, it's the Holy Church. Tokiomi Tohsaka is no longer trying to hide it at all; he's completely shameless!"

Fu Le couldn't help but complain.

Tokiomi Tohsaka's actions were tantamount to openly declaring to others that he had allied himself with the Holy Church's inquiries.

There was absolutely no attempt to hide it.

"So let's just attack the Holy Church then!"

"At that time, Caster will launch the first attack and completely destroy the Holy Church."

Others might be wary of the church, but Fu Le didn't care.

So what about the church?
Upon hearing Fu Le's words, Weber breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid of the church.

"can!"

Iskandar picked up where Weber left off. He too had sensed Weber's inner thoughts.

He didn't care, but that was because he was a Servant, and if he didn't fulfill his wish, he would return to Valhalla.

But Weber wanted to live in this world.

We can't just end up causing a lot of trouble for our Master, can we?

"I agree."

Irisviel also answered.

She also didn't want to cause trouble for Kiritsugu Emiya.

Therefore, Fu Le's suggestion was immediately accepted.

They discussed and decided to launch an attack on the church that night.

"Speaking of which, what about that Berserker Master? Why haven't we seen any trace of him?"

After discussing it, Iskandar asked Fule.

"You mean Kariya? He's currently outside the Holy Church, monitoring Tokiomi Tohsaka's movements."

Fu Le chuckled.

Having learned that a full-scale attack on Tohsaka Tokiomi would be launched tonight, Matou Kariya was already impatiently waiting.

Now he has even volunteered to go and monitor Tokiomi Tohsaka.

He had been eagerly anticipating defeating Tokiomi Tohsaka for a long time.

evening.

The sky was now shrouded in the glow of the setting sun.

Before nightfall, the area outside the Holy Church had already been secretly surrounded by Fu Le and his men.

"Caster, how are your preparations going?"

"Everything is ready."

Medea responded softly.

"We're just waiting for it to get completely dark."

"That's good."

Leaning against the wall, Fu Le casually responded to Medea.

The Church of the Holy See is now surrounded by the four groups of people. Everyone is wearing robes prepared by Medea to conceal their identities, so Tokiomi Tohsaka and the others in the Church of the Holy See are unaware that they have been surrounded.

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka was discussing the next plan with Kirei Kotomine and Risei Kotomine.

They planned to take care of one person before the other side found them.

This will make the final battle with the opponent much easier.

And the ones that Tokiomi Tohsaka targeted were Kariya Matou and Lancelot.

He chose Matou Kariya and Lancelot because the other three were more difficult to deal with, and the Matou Kariya and Lancelot pairing was already the best of a bad bunch.

Although Caster should be easier to deal with under normal circumstances.

However, the opponent possessed spatial teleportation abilities, and when they attacked the magic base, the opponent simply fled without moving.

Then there's Rider, whose name he's already revealed: the legendary Alexander the Great.

This person is also a renowned figure.

He was also the most difficult enemy in the eyes of Tohsaka's envoy.

In the original story, in order to test his Noble Phantasm, Tokiomi Tohsaka directly had Assassin sacrifice it.

This shows how much he valued Iskandar.

Finally, there's Saber.

For the strongest class owner, the legendary King of Knights, who was defeated by Lancer in melee combat, she was actually on par with Berserker in Tokiomi Tohsaka's mind.

However, the reason he chose Berserker instead of Saber was because of his intelligence advantage.

Berserker, as a berserker, is irrational.

Therefore, in theory, his strength has already been demonstrated in the previous battles.

His Noble Phantasm is undoubtedly the ability to turn whatever he touches into a Noble Phantasm for his own use.

However, Saber was injured by Lancer's Noble Phantasm in close combat, and her Noble Phantasm has not been used yet.

In other words, compared to Berserker, who has already demonstrated all his abilities, Saber still has many unknowns regarding information.

Therefore, Tokiomi Tohsaka set his sights on Kariya Matou and Lancelot.

But he probably never imagined that the person he wanted to get rid of was secretly watching him, waiting for the opportunity to defeat him.

"It's getting dark!"

"Then let's get started!"

Looking at the sky, which was now completely shrouded in night, Fu Le gave Medea his orders.

"Yes, Master!"

Medea then floated into the sky.

Then a dazzling magic circle enveloped the church.

Medea had been gathering her strength for a long time, and now that the magic circle had been set up, countless cannon fire was ready to be unleashed.

Medea did not hesitate and immediately launched all the cannon fire.

Countless magic cannons rained down on the Holy Church.

"Be bold!"

Gilgamesh's voice came from the church.

The moment Medea unfurled her magic circle, the astute Gilgamesh had already sensed her attack.

But by then it was too late for him to retaliate.

Gilgamesh could only take out the Shield of the Gods from his own treasury and use it to shield himself.

"boom!!!"

The relentless bombardment continued to fall on the church.

In the blink of an eye, the once-standing Holy Church was destroyed and turned to ashes.

That's right, it's ashes.

Under the endless bombardment, not even a shard of stone could be left behind.

Before Medea could even unleash her attack for a few seconds, dozens of Noble Phantasms shot out from the ruins of the Holy Church, heading straight for Medea in mid-air.

After using the Shield of the Gods to protect himself and Tokiomi Tohsaka, Gilgamesh, enraged, unleashed his Gate of Babylon to launch a counterattack.

Medea, however, showed no intention of hiding while floating in mid-air.

She silently watched the incoming treasure.

Just as these magical artifacts were about to strike Medea, a dark shadow leaped up from the ground and blocked her path.

The visitor was Lancelot.

He wielded the Unyielding Lake Light, deflecting all the Noble Phantasms that Gilgamesh shot at him.

At the same time, on either side of Gilgamesh, Iskandar, driving a chariot, and Artoria, running like the wind, swiftly attacked Gilgamesh.

This was the signal that Fu Le and they had set up beforehand.

Once Medea begins bombing the church, the two of them can make their move.

However, Lancelot did not attack Gilgamesh directly; his duty at this time was to protect Medea.

As a bombardment mage, Medea desperately needs a tank to absorb damage in front of her.

Just like when he summoned Sasaki Kojiro during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

But Lancelot is far more useful than Sasaki Kojiro.

"Get out of my way, you bastard!"

Gilgamesh, covered in dust and grime from Medea's bombing, was furious.

Faced with the attack from three sides, Gilgamesh immediately opened the Treasury of Kings to its limit and fired it in three directions at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, Gilgamesh, who was the prey, seemed to have transformed into the hunter.

Even when facing four opponents alone, he showed no fear.
