Chapter 325: Your big job is very good, but you chose the wrong person

Tosaka Residence, Magic Workshop.

After seeing the scene where Gilgamesh was persuaded by Fang Yi's rhetoric to be an audience member, and then, under the persuasion of the 'King of Conquerors', he dispersed the [King's Treasure] and gave up taking action.

Kotomine Kirei, who was standing quietly by, heard an extremely clear exhalation sound coming from the extremely silent workshop.

He glanced calmly and saw a somewhat funny scene.

The extremely nervous [Tōsaka Tokiomi] lowered his right hand that had manifested the [Command Seal], took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he was like a drowning person who was on the verge of deprivation of oxygen but after struggling for a while, he finally floated to the surface and got a chance to breathe.

He began to breathe heavily in a rather inelegant manner.

[Kotomine Kirei] A close friend of his father who had never met him, and his teacher of magic for three years.

The head of the Tōsaka family, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was known for his elegance and impeccable manners, showed such a fragile attitude.

As a result, at this moment, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but have some contemptuous thoughts in his heart.

[The once powerful and elegant [Tousaka Tokiomi] now looks just like this.]
-
After sensing the thoughts welling up in his heart, Kotomine Kirei was stunned.

However, in the eyes of [Tōsaka Tokiomi] who had come to his senses, this posture was seen as a sign of inexperience and helplessness.

Therefore, [Tōsaka Tokiomi], who had regained his elegant demeanor, spoke in the tone of a teacher and expressed his gratitude.

"Kirei, it looks like luck is on our side.

"If there is no unexpected event such as someone deliberately attacking the King, the King will probably not use his Noble Phantasm.

"Our winning strategy can be executed again."

As he spoke, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] touched the [Command Seal] on the back of his right hand with lingering fear.

He glanced at Gilgamesh who was sitting at the edge of the battlefield and spoke in a slightly bitter tone.

"If it weren't for Saber, who was unaware of the King's identity, using extremely shrewd rhetoric to make a truly heroic attempt.

"I managed to convince the king by accident.

"I'm afraid today I'll have to use a Command Spell to persuade that self-willed king."

Gilgamesh listened to Tōsaka Tokiomi's words and watched the feedback from the released Familiar, a happy smile appeared on his face.

However, Kotomine Kirei could not agree with the other party's conclusion.

Would Gilgamesh, the self-willed and powerful man, really accept his teacher's humiliating "persuasion"?

Was it really a lucky coincidence that Saber succeeded, rather than a knowledge of Gilgamesh that led to the appropriate treatment?

As soon as these completely different views came into my mind, they grew wildly like weeds.

And finally, it turned into a rather outrageous question in Kotomine Kirei's mind.

【Is the teacher's strategy wrong? 】

Even though he summoned the strongest Heroic Spirit, he still used a rather conservative plan.

When encountering unexpected events during the execution of the plan, we should have responded in a timely manner, but we were quite indecisive and delayed in making a decision.

[Can Gilgamesh tolerate such a person who appears to be strong but is actually weak and indecisive to become his master? ]

[Can he really help the church complete the task of collecting [holy relics]? ]

Before Kotomine Kirei's thoughts could continue to spread.

The words blurted out by [Tōsaka Tokiomi] at the side brought his attention back to the battlefield.

"Kirei, that Saber has become weaker.

"His Master had indeed just used the [Command Seals] to amplify his power, and he must have also used his [Noble Phantasm] to produce that performance.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be defeated within seconds."

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who prides himself on his experience, made another judgment.
-
The road outside the Matou residence, the battlefield.

Arriving in front of Fang Yi earlier than Lancer, who was known for his agility, and his spear, was Lancelot and his long sword that exuded ominous magic.

Because Fang Yi had proactively banned several skills while carrying out the [Challenge Mission], he had not even fully caught the sword shadow.

The wind pressure brought by the swing of the sword had cut the air in front of him into countless tiny vortices, impacting his body.

The next moment, the long sword [Indestructible Lake Light], which was as clear as lake water but exuded a cold luster, appeared.

He and his manic yet spiritual master touched Fang Yi's body and smashed towards Fang Yi.

Fang Yi could clearly sense that in addition to the sword's inherent toughness, the blade also carried an unsettling aura.

The magic power surging and burning on it seemed to be whispering, indicating a hint of destruction to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was shocked.

What's this new technique?

[It doesn't seem like [Magic Release]! ]

Fang Yi, who had grasped the new skill, instantly became interested in copying the skill and practicing [Supernatural Gravity].

He felt that this talent of his had been strengthened in the last world, and now was the perfect time to train it.

He looked up and saw [Transparent World·Strengthening] activated.

His entire body exuded an oppressive aura, and all his attributes were elevated to inhuman levels.

The skills used by Lancelot, who was like an out-of-control war machine, were also revealed in his eyes.

The moment the opponent swung his sword to split the air, a shrill sound pierced Fang Yi's eardrums, making him tremble involuntarily.

The oncoming blow was like the wrath of heaven and earth, and the violent magic carried the power to destroy everything.

What was even more terrifying was that the magic power that surged from the opponent's feet and gathered on the sword blade seemed to flow with life.

Then it was contaminated by the ominous and dirty smell on its body and began to burn.

It seemed that as long as one even slightly touched the opponent's sword, one would be completely contaminated by that filthy magic power.
-
Fang Yi, who had glimpsed the source of the other party's magic power and power, thought to himself.

That technique is completely opposite to the "Magic Release" technique, which is to compress the magic power in the body and then release it to gain strength.

It is an attempt to attach the magic power in the earth veins and air to one's body and use it efficiently to strengthen one's own skills.

[Is it more like a [Magic Backflow] that recycles magic power and reuses it?]

[But theoretically, he shouldn't be able to use this skill. Is it the influence of the [module]?]

[Will all servants be strengthened? ]

Thinking of this, Fang Yi's eyes couldn't help but condense.

Having glimpsed some of the power of this move, he had already made a correct assessment of the opponent's attack based on the durability reduction from last time.

[Taking this blow head-on will probably cost [California Clearance] 100 durability.]

After quickly completing the calculations in his mind, he made a judgment almost instinctively.

As a swordsman with a strong physique, he could naturally block the attack head-on.

But as a reincarnation, he cannot afford a collision, otherwise the durability of the [California Clearing] in his hand will be reduced by one twelfth.

Without a moment's hesitation, Fang Yi gave up the idea of ​​swinging his sword to fight back, and simply launched the [Shrinking the Earth] which he was quite familiar with again.

He tapped his feet, exerting force to tear the air, and his figure disappeared like lightning, avoiding the attack.

At the same time, the terrifying magic power carried by Lancelot's sword slammed heavily on the ground where he was originally standing.

"boom--!"

The ground that touched the blade instantly collapsed like a road after the groundwater was drained, and a "basin" appeared out of thin air with this "mad dog" as the center.

Accompanied by an incessant roar, countless pieces of gravel flew up into the air, and the rising smoke and dust briefly obscured the sky.
-
The rising smoke and dust caused Gilgamesh, who was standing by to watch the battle, to curse in dissatisfaction.

"You lowly and filthy mad dog! The dust you create is blocking my vision!"

When the dust settled a little, what came into everyone's eyes was a bottomless crack, like a huge mouth leading to hell that devoured souls.

Fang Yi, who reappeared several meters away, couldn't help but sigh.

[Not bad, my strength has increased a lot, and I should get more rewards later.]

[This skill is not bad, I may be able to imitate it.]

But he did not relax in order to dodge the attack, his eyes were always fixed vigilantly on Lancelot.

The other party was just testing his reaction and hadn't used his full strength yet.

However, Lancelot, whose attack failed, did not take advantage of the rising smoke and dust to launch a second attack.

This 'mad dog' simply stood up slowly, looked at Fang Yi coldly, and then exuded a fighting spirit like a beast. Under the blessing of [Transparent World·Strengthening], Fang Yi clearly saw that magic power was continuously extracted from the earth veins and then poured into his body to strengthen it.

As the magic power gathered on the blade flowed like a rushing river, the [Indestructible Lake Light] in the opponent's hand also began to hum, exuding overwhelming power.

The opponent's posture of looking for the right time to attack and the gathered magic power are silently declaring one thing.

"The next blow will not give you any chance to breathe."

Before Fang Yi could catch his breath, he heard a strange sound in his ears.

“I don’t want to join forces with him to fight you!

"I'd rather be killed by you one on one!"
-
A slightly struggling sound echoed in the air, followed by a dazzling scarlet light flashing in Fang Yi's eyes.

It was the scarlet spear [Demon-Breaking Red Rose] that was heading straight for Fang Yi's heart, about to pierce Fang Yi like a string of candied haws.

And Diarmuid, who was blessed with the [Command Seal] and reached the extreme speed, thrusting forward while growling.

The Lancer's tone was full of struggle.

But his words of chivalry were instantly drowned out by the sound of his spear tearing through the air.

Under the 'constraints' of the [Challenge Mission], Fang Yi banned a series of skills that increased [Physical Explosive Power], such as [Nine Transformations of Dragon Refining] on his own.

I had no choice but to pick and choose, and 'helplessly' chose the less aesthetically pleasing hard-and-fast approach.

Fang Yi, who had chosen a response plan, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Diarmuid charging towards him.

“This brutal fight is not for a naive person like you.

"It's better to leave early!"

He did not dodge or evade the spear, but instead stood firm, closed his eyes and began to look for the feeling of [releasing magic power].
-
The next moment, as Fang Yi opened his eyes, he felt a strong tingling sensation in the [Magic Circuit] in his body.

A huge amount of magic power gushed out, and then surged in the body like a riot.

Under Fang Yi's somewhat rough manipulation, the magic power could not wait to flow into the [California Clear Light] in his hand.

This long sword, which does not look gorgeous, gradually exudes the unique sharpness of a divine weapon under the infusion of magic power.

The blade infused with magic power couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if a beast that had been dormant for many years was finally awakened and began to reveal its hidden sharpness in front of people.

Fang Yi lowered his head slightly, his eyes looking through the smoke and dust of the battlefield at Diarmuid who was gradually approaching him.

The other person's face was full of stubbornness and struggle, and his eyes were still burning with an unextinguishable belief.

A complex emotion called pity arose in Fang Yi's heart, but this pity only lasted for a moment.

"Do you want to be killed by me in a one-on-one fight?"

There was a hint of calm coldness in his voice, and his tone was flat, as if he was stating an ordinary fact.

"And given the current situation, the only way to fulfill your wish is to kill you before that 'mad dog' charges forward."

Diarmuid did not respond again. He clenched the spear in his hand with a dead heart, and rushed towards Fang Yi without any reduction in speed under the restraint of the [Command Spell].

But there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

The meaning expressed couldn't be more obvious.

Kill me, kill me one on one!

[End this battle in the way I want! ]

Fang Yi shook his head slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"It's a little difficult."

The next moment, Diarmuid's face gradually enlarged in Fang Yi's field of vision, and a long spear wrapped in the power of wind and thunder rushed towards him.

The sharp tip of the gun seemed to tear the air apart, and the accompanying air wave swept the surrounding gravel into the air.

Fang Yi, seizing the opportunity, clenched [California Clear Light] in both hands, lowered his body slightly, exerted force on his wrist, and simply swung it downwards.

“But, for me.

“It shouldn’t be beyond our capabilities.

"Then I'll satisfy you."

Fang Yi's voice was cold and decisive, yet with a hint of romance.

"Goodbye, Knight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a torrent of scorching magic power flowed through his arms and into the long sword, and then burst out without reservation.

In an instant, Fang Yi waved a dazzling and brilliant light in front of him, causing light, heat and impact that ordinary people could not look directly at.

It was the skill he had yet to master—[Magic Release].

Although this attack lacked the delicacy and precision that Fang Yi had always admired.

However, due to the surging and vast magical power invested in it, it also has the added power of pure destructiveness.

Diarmuid's galloping figure and the spear that was about to thrust forward were ruthlessly swallowed up the moment they touched the light.

Along with the gusts of air and roar that came with his charge, they all disappeared in the light and heat of the [magic power released].

Fang Yi, who swung the knife, just stood there quietly.

The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and there was still some magic power remaining on the blade that had not yet dissipated.

He looked forward and saw a horrifying scene created by his own [magic power].

There was nothing in front of Fang Yi, only a slightly narrow but empty "desert".

The neatly arranged buildings on both sides have not changed.

However, the comparison between the two added a lingering sense of horror to Fang Yi's attack.

And when the knight, who had offset some of the damage with the skill [Anti-Magic B] and was not killed immediately by [Magic Release], lived for a few seconds longer, he appeared in front of Fang Yi again.

The servant's armor was shattered, the spear in his hand was missing, his body was not intact, and he was only breathing his last breath. Golden particles were lingering around him.

It has obviously entered the stage of dissipating and disappearing, and then transforming into the spiritual essence of the Holy Grail.

"ended."

As Fang Yi's words of declaration of the end rang out, the somewhat 'foolish' knight who believed in [Chivalry] realized that he had been killed by Fang Yi.

The knight, who noticed all this, finally revealed a relieved smile on his face.

In his last moments, he smiled and said goodbye to Fang Yi.

"Killing me by you should be considered a good ending."
-
However, the next moment, before Diarmuid could finish his farewell words.

Lancelot, who was standing by, took advantage of the gap when Fang Yi swung his sword and accurately seized the opportunity to win.

In just a moment, he rushed to Fang Yi silently and swung the long sword in his hand that exuded a dirty smell.

Loud singing could also be heard from the rooftop of the Hyatt Hotel not far away.

Before the three [Magic Furnaces] were connected, the cannons that were locked onto the battlefield, with unprecedented magical power, began to spew out a torrent of magical power, and the [Noble Phantasm] named [Rainbow Bow of Triumph] was successfully activated.

Gilgamesh, who was sitting beside the battlefield, stood up.

He looked in the direction of the Hyatt Hotel, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have noticed the activation of the [Noble Phantasm].

The 'King of Conquerors' who was watching the battle from the sidelines frowned and instantly drew the longsword from his waist.

Fang Yi, who sensed the fluctuation of magic power and was about to fight against the sudden attack of Lancelot, was even more delighted.

"No matter who you are, I have to admire your courage.

"You did a great job bombarding five Servants.

“But I chose the wrong person!”

　Reworked and slightly modified some of the plot.

　　Describes the death scene of Diarmuid, adding some reactions of the defeated knight.

　　Deleted some repetitive statements in this chapter.

　　More description was given of the power of the opponent's Righteous Demon Release.

　　(Fang Yi's current magic release is actually a weakened version of the black aloof hair in the HF' line)

　　Magic Countercurrent is considered to be the core skill of Kuanglan in the game for recovering NPC Noble Phantasms in succession, but it should not be in the setting of the original draft of the Fourth War.

　　There is a direct reinforcement here.

　　All other servants will also be strengthened.
