Chapter 344: The Gun That Has Reached the Divine Realm
The second day of entering the mission world, church.

As the Masters behind the two Servants used the [Command Spells] one after another, they transferred the Servants one after another.

For a moment, apart from Kotomine Risei and the Servant who drove away the white horse, the only one left in the church was Matou Kariya, who was a little scared but had gradually gotten used to it.

Although I was very curious about the [real name] and position of the Servant who could summon a white horse out of thin air, I was also very sorry that I didn't meet the "Scavenger".

But after receiving the slightly low response from the swordsman lady, Fang Yi quickly picked up the parchment that was temporarily projected by the red archer before he was transferred by the [Command Seal].

After checking and confirming the ammunition of Prometheus, he began to calculate the time required to reach the above address.

Fang Yi was still prepared to accept the invitation from the red archer.

After all, the Einzbern family is relatively good at [Alchemy] and [Body Transformation].

Judging from the fact that most of Illya's body had been transformed into Magic Circuits ten years later, some of the Einzbern family's technologies still have their merits.

And if nothing unexpected happens, this time, combined with the subsequent treatment, he should be able to obtain a lot of books related to the [Alchemy] skill.

With the help of the recording function of the [Human Pill Method], he can make up for the "foundation" of his [Alchemy].

However, in this battle, because of the strange methods of the reincarnationist, he needed to keep a distance from the enemy to be on the safe side.

He will fight using methods that are different from those used in ordinary situations.

As for the servant controlled by the "Borrower of Limbs", Fang Yi felt that it was very suitable for the swordsman lady to practice with.

The other party is a member of the Shinsengumi from the same era as Miss Swordsman.

He believed that after practicing against him, Miss Swordsman would be able to defeat her in her debut and become even stronger.

[Let's trigger the [competitive main quest] first.]

Miss Zhuang just sent him a message, saying that his [competitive main quest] needs to be triggered by talking to relevant people from the [Holy Church].

It seems that the "limb borrower" blew himself up.

The process that originally triggered the [Competitive Main Mission] was interrupted.

Just like when some games play cutscenes, the cg file is damaged, causing the game to report an error.

Need to set it to 'manual trigger'.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi raised his head and cast his gaze on Yanfeng Rizheng, the only remaining clergyman in the church.

He started asking for tasks in a very calm manner.

"How many Command Seals can I get by killing that limb-collecting 'Limb Borrower'?
"Let's talk about the price of murder."

After asking this question, he turned his head to the Servant holding a silver spear who seemed a little annoyed about not catching the 'undead', and asked again subconsciously.

"Can the Servant on the white horse come to assist?"

In the absence of kill rewards, Fang Yi doesn't mind being lazy and taking shortcuts to get some help.
-
After hearing Fang Yi's inquiry, Yanfeng Lizheng, who was shocked that the combined charge of man and horse failed to kill the "ghost", finally came to his senses.

The gray-haired man from the [Holy Church] froze on his wrinkled face for a moment, then he forced a smile towards Fang Yi and began to explain.

“The church currently has many enemies.

"Whether it's the 'ghost' that just escaped and the Master behind it, or the monster that collected limbs and its servants, as well as some unknown monsters, they are all enemies of the Church.

"At this stage, the church will prioritize eliminating the 'limb borrowers'.

"This Servant will prioritize protecting the church and will not participate in the battle."

Fang Yi, who didn't hear the mission sound and knew that he couldn't borrow a servant to 'slack off', decisively chose to 'skip the plot'.

"Just tell me what the reward is for killing him. Time is running out."

Although Kotomine Risei was interrupted by Fang Yi, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

After seeing that Fang Yi, a powerful Saber, was interested in joining the battle, the old man simply omitted some of the "background story" and directly explained the reward to Fang Yi.

"After killing the 'Limb Borrower', you will be rewarded with two [Command Seals].

"Any Servant willing to kill the 'Limb Borrower' can also receive a [Command Seal].

"Don't worry about the Master's safety. The Church has a unique method of preserving the Command Seals.

"As long as you complete the mission, you will receive a well-preserved [Command Seal] that can be easily transplanted after you bring it back."

Before Kotomine Risei finished his words, the mission reminder sound rang in Fang Yi's ears as he wished.

[Competitive Main Quest] [Eliminate the 'Limb Borrower'] has been triggered.
-

[Eliminate the 'Borrowers']

[Quest requirements: Kill the 'Borrower'.]

[Space Mission Reward: 8000 points (automatically issued), free skill key level upgrade x1 (automatically issued).]

[Quest World Reward: Extra [Command Spell] (need to manually claim it at the [Church]).]

1. The rewards automatically issued for this type of task are not connected to the contribution value calculation system. The task rewards are fixed and issued based on the number of kills, and are unique.

2. Mission world rewards will be distributed based on actual combat contributions and circumstances.
-

Fang Yi glanced at his skills that consumed A-level plot points. After excluding [Black Flash] and [Reversal Spell·Strength], he quickly saw [Ten Stroke Spell Lv4] which had not changed for a long time.

He hasn't used this weakness critical strike skill for a long time.

Therefore, there is still some distance to go before self-improvement.

It might be a good idea to use the opportunity to increase the critical level of your skills on this skill.

Fang Yi, who had figured out how to use the reward, raised his head and prepared to head towards the Emiya residence.

By the way, he also provided some advice to the swordsman lady as a precaution.

"Don't worry about wasting my magic power and being restricted in battle.

"I grant you permission to use the [Noble Phantasms], including the [Haori of Oath] and the [Flag of Sincerity], which enhance all attributes.

"When necessary, you can obtain support from the [Command Spells], and you can also try to 'borrow' some skills from me."

However, the swordsman lady who heard the master's words did not respond to Fang Yi, which was rare.

[It looks like the battle over there is getting quite intense.]

[However, as my Servant, defeating that Servant should be no problem.]

Fang Yi thought so as he rushed towards Emiya's residence.
-

Fuyuki City, downtown, high up in the sky where the air is a little thin.

Gilgamesh was sitting on the boat of light, known as the 'Throne of the King', made of gold and emeralds, overlooking the battlefield in the city center.

Below, Berserker Hijikata Toshizo was engaged in a fierce battle with the 'agents' of the [Holy Church].

Gilgamesh watched as the agents, after dispersing the innocent people, launched a mass throwing of [Black Keys] and the roaring Maxim machine gun fire, but even Hijikata Toshizo's [Noble Phantasm] was unable to truly activate.

He held his chin with one hand, his blood-red pupils filled with obvious disgust and disdain.

"What a clumsy and disgraceful battle.

“Even calling it a fight would be an overstatement.

"It's just a bunch of ants trying to kill a slightly larger bedbug."

He paused slightly, then turned to look at Tōsaka Tokiomi beside him, his gaze scorching like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, "What do you think, Tokiomi?"

When [Tōsaka Tokiomi] was suddenly called out, his heart tightened and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He knew Gilgamesh's temper. As a moody servant, he could get angry at any time for some strange reason.

But realizing Gilgamesh wasn't truly angry, but merely bored, he relaxed slightly and subconsciously offered a few words of flattery. "My king, those vulgar 'agents' of the [Church of the Holy Church] are no match for your noble character."
-
Gilgamesh did not respond to Tokisaka's flattering words, but just snorted and cast a cold gaze towards the distant battlefield.

[Tosaka Tokiomi] felt uneasy and increasingly anxious as he looked at Hijikata Toshizo wreaking havoc below.

[Li Shuwen] It seems that he hasn’t arrived yet.

If the Berserker were allowed to continue wreaking havoc, it would undoubtedly cause unprecedented damage.

At this moment, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] could clearly sense that the armor on the Servant was greedily and destructively extracting the magic power from the 'Spiritual Vein'.

With the destruction of the "spiritual veins", several large "spiritual lands" of the Tohsaka family that were used for renting out for profit were permanently destroyed.

In just a few minutes, one third of the Tohsaka family's annual fixed income disappeared out of thin air!

If you want to protect your family property, you must destroy the monster immediately and as soon as possible.

So he mustered up his courage and tentatively offered his suggestion.

"For these bugs that are infesting your territory, you only need to take them out of the [King's Treasury]"

Before he could finish his words, Gilgamesh's cold and scorching gaze instantly swept over him.

"Tokiomi, are you fooling me?"

His tone was chillingly cold.

"You actually want me to use my Noble Phantasm on that kind of bug?"

[Tosaka Tokiomi]'s face froze, and he hurriedly lowered his head to explain in panic.

"How dare I! But as you can see—the others are totally powerless.

“Only you, the honorable one, can do this.”

His tone was sincere, with a hint of helplessness and anxiety in his eyes.

Gilgamesh smiled slightly, with a strong sense of sarcasm in his smile.

"Others are powerless? What does that have to do with me?"
-
However, at this time, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] did not retreat.

He knew that no matter how high and mighty Gilgamesh was, if he did not take action, the Tōsaka family would probably suffer a fatal blow in this melee.

He took a deep breath and spoke again.

"My king, you are quite right.

"But when others are powerless, isn't it time for you, the most ancient king, to take action and change the situation, demonstrating your kingly majesty?"

Hearing these words, Gilgamesh couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Tokiomi, I didn't expect you to be able to say such beautiful words.

"It's just that you misjudged the battle situation."

Gilgamesh put on a slightly warm smile on his face, and kindly explained the doubts of [Tōsaka Tokiomi].

“Although it’s unlikely that the bastard who calls himself the ‘King of Conquerors’ would go beyond the boundaries and kill this bug with one strike.

“But that Saber (Fang Yi) shouldn’t be a big problem.

"As for this stink bug, I can easily stop it with just a wave of my hand!"

Hearing these words, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] felt a little bit of anticipation.

His throat moved, ready to utter another pleading word.

But Gilgamesh, as if he had foreseen the future, uttered words that made [Tōsaka Tokiomi] feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.

“But this king will not take action.

"Just like what that Saber said.

“As a spectator, a noble man like me should not take the initiative to get stuck in the ‘mud’ and fight with such bugs.

"Besides, haven't two interesting servants already rushed over?"
-
Following Gilgamesh's words, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] laboriously controlled his [Familiar] and surveyed the battlefield.

Soon, he saw two servants confronting each other not far from Hijikata Toshizo.

A servant was wearing a gorgeous cherry-colored coat, holding a cheap katana, with a tuft of adobo hair swaying in the wind on his cherry-colored hair.

It was Okita Souji.

The other man was wearing a gray coat, had gray hair, and was wearing a slightly luxurious cloak. He was holding a white wax stick in his hand.

It was Li Shuwen.

Seeing that Li Shuwen had arrived at the battlefield, Tōsaka Tokiomi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

【With that old man here, it should be fine.】

Gilgamesh couldn't help but become interested when he saw the two people confronting each other and Hijikata Toshizo not far away.

After carefully observing it, he began to comment.

“Well, that woman is a bit weak, she probably can’t reach the level of killing that bug.

"That old man is Kirei's Servant, right? He's quite good.

"Should be enough to kill that bug."

High in the sky, this Master-Servant pair with extremely incompatible personalities reached a consensus for the first time since being summoned.
-

Beside the battlefield.

Li Shuwen, holding a white wax stick, did not focus his attention on Hijikata Toshizo who was standing beside him, but looked at Okita Souji who was standing beside him holding a sword.

After looking at the swordsman lady for a while, the old man took the initiative to break the confrontation.

“You, not bad.

"Maybe after a few days and some more training, you'll be qualified to fight me."

The swordsman lady didn't reply, but simply tensed her body and gripped the knife in her hand.

She looked at the old man who was clearly in her sight but did not exist in her perception, and there was only one thought in her mind.

【He is very strong, possibly even stronger than the Master.】

[Li Shuwen] Seeing Okita Souji, whose whole body was tense, he still did not forget to look at Hijikata Toshizo and smiled gently.

"Your acquaintance?
"Want to fight him or say something?"

The swordsman lady looked at the old man who had softened and nodded subconsciously.

[Such a powerful Servant cannot be made an enemy for no reason and create additional enemies for the Master.]

If we can communicate, I might be able to convince him.

But before the swordsman lady could finish her thoughts, the old man beside her disappeared from the spot, leaving only words lingering in the air.

“But I won’t give up my opponent to you.

"After all, as a killer, once you receive payment from your master, you have to kill your target."

The swordsman lady reacted and just turned her head, she saw a scene she had never seen before.

A man of incredible talent, who has worked incredibly hard, is demonstrating incredible skills that he has honed.

Only then did she realize one thing.

The old man was stronger than she expected.

Because of the gun in the old man's hand.

It is a gun that has reached the realm of the gods.

　The ability that Cheng Xiang gave to Hijikata Toshizo (hook) has not yet been fully demonstrated.
The new motherboard and CPU will arrive tomorrow. I will send out more after the equipment is ready.
