Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After a brainstorming session, Assassin decided to remain calm and wait for news...

After a moment's thought, Mordred raised his right hand, and a sword appeared in his hand.

Those who were secretly observing were all taken aback; something seemed to have gone wrong.

"what--"

Without using any Noble Phantasms, the slashes unleashed by simply stacking magical energy were incredibly powerful, instantly clearing more than half of the magic in the courtyard.

The once exquisite courtyard was instantly reduced to ruin.

"They were attackers?!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka was startled and looked astonished.

Seeing Mordred stride arrogantly into the courtyard, Tokiomi Tohsaka, still in shock, quickly regained his senses and shouted, "Your Majesty, please intervene..."

Chapter 277 The Destroyed Tohsaka Mansion

On the roof of the Tohsaka mansion, golden light gathered, and Gilgamesh's figure appeared, his expression full of arrogance, looking down at the arrogant Mordred.

"How dare you, a mere ant, offend the king's majesty! You deserve to die!"

An arrogant voice echoed in the courtyard, golden ripples spread through the air, and weapons, displaying extraordinary magical fluctuations, slowly emerged from the golden ripples, aiming at someone in the courtyard.

A strong sense of crisis filled Mordred's surroundings, causing her lips to curl into an excited smile: "Wow~ This is really interesting!"

Because her Master was strong enough, Mordred's base stats were very high, and she didn't feel threatened by Gilgamesh's display of power.

The magic was released, and black and red magical flames swirled around him, making him quite arrogant.

The crimson patterns on the sword shimmered with light, exuding an ominous aura.

"Let's fight!!!"

An excited Mordred charged forward.

Her chosen method of intelligence gathering was to find an enemy to fight. Since there were two people on her side, it wouldn't matter if her information was known to others, after all...

Not a single detail of the other person's information was leaked!

"Hahahahaha..."

Mordred sped forward like a black and red lightning bolt, unleashing a torrent of violent magic that destroyed everything in its path.

"You are not worthy to see the King, you piece of trash!!!"

As the arrogant words dissipated into the air, amidst the resounding "bang bang bang" of arrows being fired, high-level weapons shot out like a torrential downpour towards Mordred.

'Just throw it at me? That's...an interesting way to use a weapon!'

With this thought in mind, Mordred swung her sword repeatedly, unleashing several crescent-shaped magical slashes that filled the space in front of her, blocking all the incoming weapons.

A series of booming explosions echoed, flames engulfed Mordred, and the next second...

Mordred continued her charge, breaking through the barrier of flames, and in an instant, countless dazzling golden weapons once again filled her entire field of vision...

"hiss--"

"Another bunch of Noble Phantasms?! Just how many Noble Phantasms does this guy have?!"

Mordred did not slow down, attempting to cross the attack range at a faster speed, but Gilgamesh's attacks continued to pursue Mordred.

No matter where she ran, swords, spears, and halberds followed...

It seems... there's nowhere to escape!

"This is troublesome!" Mordred dodged the swords and spears, his face hidden beneath his helmet remaining remarkably calm.

Gilgamesh's attack frequency was extremely high, and each strike was incredibly powerful, but...

Mordred is also quite strong and will not be easily defeated.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she wasn't using her full strength; she was testing Gilgamesh's power, trying to ascertain his true capabilities as possible...

If things become unmanageable, she will definitely turn around and run away without hesitation.

At the same time, the other Masters and Servants, who were watching the live broadcast through their familiars, had different thoughts.

but……

There is also the same idea that the two Servants fighting are both extremely difficult to deal with.

That golden-haired guy has an unknown number of Noble Phantasms; he's already thrown out hundreds of them in just a minute or two.

The fact that the other Servant was able to dodge the dense "rain of arrows" unscathed is enough to prove the opponent's strength.

"...None of them were taking it seriously!"

Although the damage was considerable, all the Servants could see that neither side was fighting with their full strength.

On the Einzbern side, Saber watched Mordred darting around with a somewhat subtle expression.

Because Mordred's berserk state was relatively low and her appearance hadn't changed much, a guess immediately popped into Saber's mind the moment she saw Mordred.

'Why does he look...somewhat like Mordred?'

"Could it be her?"

Saber's mutterings went unheard, but a strong sense of foreboding gripped her; her extraordinary intuition told her that what she feared was very likely to happen...

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya was intently analyzing Mordred's information...

The weapon used is a two-handed sword. Given this lack of mana conservation, the Master should have been prepared accordingly. As for the class…

'Perhaps it's Berserker.'

Staring at the Servant on the screen, whose aura and fighting style were both quite ferocious, Emiya Kiritsugu thought to himself.

Although every class has its mavericks, such as the assassin with a berserker's temperament—the first Old Man of the Mountain, and Merlin, the candidate for Grand Master, who is excellent at both one-handed and two-handed swords...

Unfortunately, Kiritsugu Emiya was unaware of these rather confidential details; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a hasty guess about the other party's class and would have been more conflicted.

Are you confident you can defeat those two Servants?

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Kiritsugu Emiya kept his gaze fixed on the screen, watching the battle between the two Servants while asking questions of his own Servants.

During the Holy Grail War, a rumor began circulating at some point that among the seven Servant classes, Saber, Lancer, and Archer are the strongest, and among the three classes mentioned above, Saber is slightly stronger. In short...

Saber is the strongest!!!

As for whether Saber is truly the strongest...

Who knows~

“I’m not sure,” Saber said honestly. “I never say I’m 100% certain of victory until I’ve defeated the enemy! And…”

Saber stared at the two combatants: "...They are not using their full strength. I dare not make any guarantees when I do not know the enemy's strength."

Although somewhat disappointed by Saber's answer, Kiritsugu Emiya agreed with Saber's statement that all reasonable guesses should be based on sufficient information, and that random guesses are not advisable.

We need more intelligence!

Kiritsugu Emiya muttered to himself, "The plan needs to be revised as well."

The perspective returns to the Tohsaka mansion...

There's a saying: Simple foul language is the ultimate enjoyment.

Gilgamesh was having a blast spewing trash talk, but Mordred, as the target of his insults, was... very unhappy!!!

Mordred, who was already somewhat irritable, was unlikely to remain unresponsive after being scolded.

'Rebel against my magnificent father!'

As the saying goes, ruthless and taciturn, Mordred unleashed an uncharged Noble Phantasm, a dark red beam of energy shooting straight at Gilgamesh. The surging magical energy destroyed everything in its path, and dazzling red lightning danced in the air...

"asshole!!!"

Gilgamesh was furious and dared not stay on the roof any longer, not because he was afraid of being hit by the beam cannon, but because he was worried that his Master would be hit by the aftershocks of the beam cannon.

After all, Gilgamesh and Tokiomi Tohsaka currently have a good relationship and have not yet considered changing their Master.

Therefore, he will save Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Hmm, we've gathered almost all the intelligence."

"slip……"

With that, Mordred turned and fled, very decisively.

Meanwhile, the other Masters who were secretly observing watched as the Tohsaka mansion was reduced to ruins in the erupting wave of magical energy, and a flash of inspiration crossed their minds...

Perhaps the culprit who destroyed the Matou mansion has already been found.

but……

Everyone was more concerned about Tokiomi Tohsaka's situation, and they all sent their familiars or Servants to the Tohsaka mansion to investigate.

In addition, the fact that a certain Servant blew up a building scared some mages, who felt that one base was not safe enough and that several temporary bases should be prepared.

To avoid opening the door and finding a light beam right in your face.

After witnessing a Servant unleash their Noble Phantasm, Saber became even more convinced of her suspicions and told her Master about it...

"The rebellious knight—Mordred, huh..."

Legend has it that Mordred was ultimately killed by King Arthur at Camlan Hill, the site of the final battle, while King Arthur also suffered a fatal blow.

In other words, Mordred's combat strength is close to that of Saber.

Having reached this conclusion, Kiritsugu Emiya has already devised a countermeasure in response to Mordred's increased threat level...

The Servant is incredibly powerful and cannot be easily defeated.

So let's find a way to break through by choosing the Master!

Regarding dealing with magicians, Kiritsugu Emiya stated that he has extensive experience; otherwise, the title of "magician killer" wouldn't have been bestowed upon him.

Follow-up work...

He and Maiya were responsible for secretly investigating enemy Servants and Masters, trying to eliminate the enemy by eliminating the Master, since this method was slightly simpler.

Saber and Irisviel are responsible for drawing attention in the open, directly confronting other Servants and Masters...
