But it was clearly worth it—the power of the delusional thoughts was too great for Tokiomi Tohsaka's carefully prepared protective gear.
If Yan Ye had suddenly struck him, even if he had been fully prepared, he would have been in serious trouble. Fortunately, this doll saved him from disaster.
The next step is to punish the thieves who launched the attack.
Tokiomi Tohsaka raised his ruby cane, the enormous red jewel pointing directly at Kariya Matou:
"There's no point in saying more to someone as noble as you who doesn't understand magic and has even betrayed the magician." Just experience the wonders of magic with your own body.
"Nonsense!"
Anger and hatred beyond the limit of endurance made Kariya's eyes bloodshot, and his life force was squeezed out, turning into a surging torrent of magic that flowed through his body.
"Magic, magic, and more magic! You sent Sakura into the insect cave for such a reason, just like that, abandoning the happiness between mother and daughter?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka remained unmoved by Kariya's second question, but frowned at the first: "...Insect Cave, what do you mean? Doesn't your Matou family practice water magic?"
This is a natural question.
However, Yan Ye stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
Water magic? That kind of magic that the old man abandoned along with the past long ago?
So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is…
Before the enemy he had sworn to kill, the man's face contorted. He covered his face with his hands, letting out hysterical laughter through his fingers, which then turned into sobs, like a mad beast.
"Did he lose his mind because he couldn't handle the pressure?" Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned, puzzled.
Yan Ye stopped laughing and crying. He wiped away the tears on his face, stood up, and looked extremely disheveled with red eyes and a red nose, but his spirits were obviously refreshed.
"No, I'm laughing at you, but I'm also laughing at myself, Tokiomi Tohsaka."
They laughed at Tokiomi Tohsaka's foolishness, at his complete ignorance of the Matou family's darkness.
She laughed at Kariya Matou's foolishness, and at her own wishful thinking that Tokiomi Tohsaka was more suitable for Aoi.
He had always believed that Tokiomi Tohsaka had chosen to have Sakura adopted into the Matou family even after learning about the Insect Magic!
Compared to Tokiomi Tohsaka's resolute decision to give up his daughter for the sake of magic, Kariya Matou found it even more unforgivable to accept Tokiomi's self-proclaimed elegance and ignorance.
How could a man like this, a scoundrel father who carelessly sacrificed his daughter, possibly be worthy of Sister Kui?
Ironically, I chose to withdraw voluntarily back then!
"Dream Summoning".
Picking up the card from the ground, amidst a surge of dark light, Matou Kariya once again transformed into a strange Servant shadow.
Although it was nearby, Tokiomi's Command Seals could summon it in an instant.
The mana drain caused by the battle between the two Servants would only put Kariya at a greater disadvantage. It would be better for Kariya to fight as Masters directly, as this would give him a better chance of winning.
Even though he couldn't use his Noble Phantasm, the various enhancements he received as a Servant were still an aid in his battle against Tokiomi.
! ”
He uttered a very short incantation, and the water element among the five elemental attributes in the void resonated with it, instantly transforming into thin and sharp water blades that attacked Tokiomi Tohsaka piece by piece.
Faced with a deadly attack, the man in the red suit, who always maintained an elegant demeanor, simply reversed his cane, and a red magic circle appeared out of thin air, blocking the water blade's attack.
“Very good magic trick—for a beginner.” Tokiomi Tohsaka mocked his opponent, trying to provoke Kariya and force him to reveal more flaws.
As expected, Yan Ye, who was already emotionally unstable, immediately showed anger and raised his hand again.
! ”
Water bullets came flying, but Tokiomi sighed.
As he said, it was far too rudimentary, a mere verse of incantation that even his daughter, Rin Tohsaka, could perform.
"Because you refused to succeed as the head of the family, Matou's magic fell into Sakura's hands. I should have thanked you... but I didn't expect you to participate in the Holy Grail War and even stand in my way—now you regret it and want to return to the path of magic?"
At this point, Tokiomi's expression became tense and cold, and he looked at Kariya as if he were looking at a piece of trash.
For Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had spent half his life in hardship and whose bitterness had transformed into pride, the thing he could not tolerate most was someone who betrayed magic.
Not to mention that Kariya also disgusted him with his clumsy magic tricks.
"Taking responsibility for oneself is the first priority of being human. If you can't even do this, then you are a non-human four-legged beast—so that's enough, go to hell."
Refusing even to address his opponent by name, Tokiomi gripped his cane and chanted an incantation:
(Give our enemy a harsh cremation)
Echoing the incantation in the two sections, the fire circle originally used for defense converged, swaying left and right like a long snake, stretching out towards Yan Ye.
But at that moment, the impotent rage on Matou Kariya's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a calculated calm:
"Your arrogance is your weakness, Tokiomi Tohsaka. Water, condense into mist!"
As Kariya threw out a prop from his arms, a magic trick with three short spells collided head-on with a magic trick with two short spells that took less time. This was partly due to Tokiomi Tohsaka's underestimation of his opponent, but more importantly, it was the result of Kariya Matou's year of hard training.
He's been training Tokiomi Tohsaka as a hypothetical enemy since the very beginning!
The scorching flames came into contact with the liquid in the air, and in the next moment they turned into a thick fog that spread out.
"Is it just to obstruct my view?" Tokiomi frowned, but the next moment, the swelling and pain in his nasopharynx and lungs made him involuntarily bend over and cough loudly:
"Cough cough cough, it's actually... mercury!"
Liquid mercury evaporates at room temperature, so what Kariya just threw out was probably a mercury solution that had been magically processed!
Guided by magic, the highly toxic mercury mist tightly enveloped Tohsaka Tokiomi, squeezing into his body through his mouth, nose, and even the pores of his skin, damaging Tokiomi's fragile physical structure!
"!" He uttered the incantation in a hoarse voice, and the cat's eye stone in Tokiomi's arms shattered automatically, turning into a wind-attribute barrier that dispelled the surrounding mercury mist. Just as he was about to use magic to provide emergency treatment, a club-like arm tore through the gale, and Matou Kariya actually rushed up and threw a punch!
"You think I'd let you use gem magic, you fool!"
"boom!"
This was definitely the most exhilarating punch Kariya had ever thrown. Accompanied by the sound of the punch hitting his face and the slight cracking of bones, Tokiomi Tohsaka's handsome face, which had captivated Aoi, quickly swelled up, and he collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, as if kneeling.
In this timeline, the Tohsaka family did not become magicians. In terms of combat, Kariya, who had only learned a few basic moves, was naturally more skilled than the traditional magician Tokiomi. This was the only chance Kariya found after countless days and nights of analysis!
To prevent Tokiomi Tohsaka from having a chance to use magic, defeat him directly with a three-hit combo of close combat (C-Mom gave a thumbs down!).
"You actually!" In his excruciating pain, Tokiomi's voice trembled, but his disheveled state only made Kariya even more delighted.
"You said it yourself, I am a person who has turned my back on the demonic path—take another punch from me!"
This time, Kariya directly used the Demon God's Arm, clearly intending to use this move to defeat or even kill Tokiomi Tohsaka!
The excruciating pain in his left cheek caused Tokiomi's mind to go blank for a brief moment. When he came to his senses, his exceptional magical skills compelled him to instinctively utter an emergency magic incantation:
start up)!"
The moonstone in his pocket shattered, and the magical silk, as beautiful as moonlight, instantly blocked Kariya's path. With a swing of the demon's arm, Tohsaka Tokiomi was sent flying like a rag doll, smashing through the wall by the window of the lounge and even falling from a height of several meters!
"Don't even think about escaping!" As his enemy disappeared from sight, Matou Kariya's face twisted with rage. Without a second thought, he jumped out and gave chase!
Today, either he or Tokiomi Tohsaka must die!
However, neither of them realized that the lounge on the second floor of the castle faced the garden in the castle courtyard.
That's where the King's Feast is held!

Chapter 128 The Kingly Way is Mine Alone
Chapter 128 The Way of the King: I Am the Only One
Let's start with a long period of history.
During the Dawn of the Second Age of Gods, a clone of the Star Vanguard "Sepharu" invaded Earth and was defeated by the First Holy Sword Wielder. However, the Holy Sword, forged from the inner sea of the star, exhausted Earth's vitality, forcing Earth into hibernation. All the fantastical creatures also entered the inner sea of the star, and the main body of the world began to slide towards the human side. The prototype of the human restraint force Alaya began to split from Gaia's body—the Great Source subsequently declined.
Gilgamesh, the king of ancient Babylonia, parted ways with the gods. The Mesopotamian gods' plan to connect the gods and humans with the Wedge of Heaven and the Chain of Heaven ultimately failed, and the gods had to admit that they were beginning to lose their ability to take root in the human world.
King Solomon returned the Ten Commandments to God and, before his death, connected the concept of magic with humanity, enabling humans to use the magic system even without divine power. This greatly weakened the authority of the gods, allowing humanity to finally explore the mysteries with their own hands.
The legend of King Arthur (Artoria) Pendragon of Britain came to an end. Britain perished, and the mysterious remnants were ultimately erased by the human-side restraining force "Alaya".
Starting with the arrival of the Great King and the birth of the first Holy Swordsman, the Hero King raised the banner of parting from the gods, the Magic King delivered the fatal blow, and finally ended with the "death" of King Arthur, who also wielded the Holy Sword, thus drawing the final chapter of mystery.
Beginning with the Holy Sword and ending with the Holy Sword, after ten thousand years, there were no more gods on the planet, and mankind was finally able to measure this vast land with their own feet and touch all things in the world with their own hands.
"In conclusion, although the Great Source began to decline from the first Holy Sword Wielder, the turning point symbolizing the split between humanity and the gods was indeed caused by this Hero King."
Shuoyue clapped her hands, revealing a very happy expression.
Wasn't Britain destroyed precisely because it retained its mystique, which made it a target of suppression?
In sending away the mystery, Kim Pikachu really put in a lot of effort.
Of course, such remarks were just jokes, meant to liven things up at the dinner table, and everyone would just laugh it off... However, the certain golden-tiered heroic spirit who was being teased didn't think so.
"Speaking of which, we severed the Age of Gods back then to prevent the gods from ruling above humanity. As it turns out, I and those bastards succeeded. Now, strolling among these modern skyscrapers, even I can't help but marvel at the progress of humankind."
He spoke calmly, but his tone turned icy cold in the next sentence.
"What I never expected was that in modern times, you humans have created gods yourselves."
"Nuclear weapons—that's what they're called, right?"
The king from the ancient past narrowed his eyes, his crimson serpentine pupils fixed on Shuoyue, and said:
"In my opinion, this thing is like a spiked club stuffed into a baby's hand; it's only good for smashing your head until it bleeds."
“Answer me, cook.”
"Why would people in this era do such laughable and stupid things?"
When confronted with the question, Shuoyue responded with a cold laugh.
"Don't get it wrong, King of Heroes. 'Gods' will never cease to exist, because in essence they are things stronger than humans and things that humans cannot understand. That's why people hold them in fear and reverence and worship them as 'gods'."
"And the ridiculous thing is—no matter how much humanity develops, aren't we always pursuing this kind of thing?"
Refilling her glass, Shuoyue stared blankly at it, muttering to herself:
"Your great achievements are nothing more than making 'gods' more controllable and closer to humanity."
Forbidden research at the Atlas Institute, the Tsar Bomba, the five great spells that disrupted the order, future artificial intelligence… the power to destroy the world has never disappeared; humanity has merely wrested it from the hands of the gods.
