Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Once the spell is cast, the golden magic will be reduced to almost nothing. If you can kill the enemy in front of you, that's fine, but if you can't, the situation will be much worse.

Moreover, from his perspective, even if Gilgamesh used Ea, he could at most only kill Lancelot and Kitagawa Yu, and he would have no chance against Iskandar, who could fly and was extremely fast.

In this way, after using Ea, regardless of success or failure, he would have to use Command Seals to charge Gilgamesh, otherwise, if he faced Iskandar with no mana, he would be doomed to defeat.

But time waits for no one. Just as they were at a stalemate, Kiritsugu Emiya fired his gun and blew out Risei Kotomine's tires, stopping him in his tracks.

Now, Demon King Nobunaga is facing off against Hassan the Hundred-Faced, and the two are openly fighting right there on the highway.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya was not idle either. As he rushed towards Risei Kotomine, he was stopped by Kirei Kotomine, who had been secretly protecting him.

Thus, the two of them staged their fateful showdown ahead of schedule.

However, this time Kirei Kotomine was not fighting for his own pleasure, but for Tokiomi Tohsaka's orders. Lacking fighting spirit, he was clearly outmatched by Kiritsugu Emiya.

Therefore, on this battlefield, Kiritsugu Emiya and Nobunaga the Demon King must gain the upper hand.

If this is not stopped, Kotomine Ryougi and those dozens of Command Seals will soon fall into the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu!

"Damn it! These guys have no sportsmanship at all! So many of them ganged up on me! Don't they have any shame?!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka launched into a tirade, completely abandoning any semblance of elegance.

"By the way! Where's El-Melloi? Where's Caster? The fighting here is so intense, the magical fluctuations can be sensed throughout the entire Fuyuki City area, didn't he notice?"

"Does this idiot intend to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

"Doesn't he know the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka then thought of Kenneth again. Although he saw through his familiar's surveillance that Kenneth had just entered the most luxurious hotel in Fuyuki City, presumably intending to set up a magic array there and showing no intention of coming out, he knew that a magician of Kenneth's caliber would definitely be able to sense the battle taking place here.

Even if he can't sense it himself, Caster can!

If Kenneth were to make a move at this moment, without saying much, as long as he could entangle Iskandar, he would dare to immediately have Gilgamesh use Ea.

The question is, will Kenneth intervene?

Chapter 178 Kiritsugu's Scheme

Kenneth himself was also very conflicted about this issue.

As a magician, and a magician of the Clock Tower monarch level, he noticed it from the moment Iskandar first used lightning to strike Gilgamesh.

Even without sensing the magical fluctuations, the sudden change from a clear sky to a cloud-covered expanse, along with the thunderous roar coming from the outskirts of the city, is hard to miss.

"Damn it! Isn't the Holy Grail War supposed to be conducted in secret?"

Kenneth was completely stunned after realizing all this.

Although this world doesn't impose restrictions on magicians like the Harry Potter world, the lower the mystery level, the lower the power of the magic.

Therefore, in order to maintain the magic tricks that have taken generations or even more than ten generations to develop, the more skilled the magician, the more they will uphold this unwritten rule.

Kenneth, as the monarch of the Clock Tower and a member of the aristocracy who valued lineage, was no exception.

So, he really couldn't bring himself to fight like the two people currently clashing, without any scruples, even when they might be exposed to the general public in the city!

"These damned bastards! Those who don't follow the rules and traditions should all be hanged!"

Kenneth couldn't help but swear, which made Sora, standing nearby, cross her arms and frown. Clearly, Kenneth's uncouth behavior displeased her.

But Kenneth can't be blamed for that.

He had already released his familiars to observe the current situation between the two sides, without knowing that Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm projection had extremely low chakra consumption and that he also had the exceptional Noble Phantasm, Ea.

To him, Gilgamesh, who was fighting against many opponents, seemed outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and wouldn't last long.

Once Gilgamesh is defeated, it's only a matter of time before Hassan, a 'trash' Servant, is also defeated. Then he'll be facing four Masters and four Servants alone.

Even if he were the ruler of the Clock Tower, he definitely couldn't win! After all, in a battle of this level, the main force still depends on the Heroic Spirits.

Therefore, he has no choice but to take action. He doesn't need to help Gilgamesh defeat Kitagawa Yu and his group; he just needs to help restrain Iskandar.

But he still had some hesitation in his heart.

A magic workshop and a magic field can greatly enhance a magician's skills.

Only Caster, who possesses a magic workshop and magic base, can rival a powerful class like Saber. Without a magic base, Caster's strength wouldn't be much stronger than Assassin's.

Furthermore, Scheherazade wasn't a magician in the traditional sense like Medea. Having just arrived in Fuyuki City and not yet established a magic workshop and magic base, he genuinely didn't want to start a war.

To reiterate, Tokiomi Tohsaka's seemingly minor, unsportsmanlike decision, coupled with Kiritsugu Emiya's aggressive attack, acted as if pressing the accelerator button for the Holy Grail War, directly triggering a full-scale war. This forced them and others into the fray.

“Caster, are you confident you can handle Rider?” Kenneth asked Scheherazade.

Although whether or not they could defeat him depended on Scheherazade's intervention, the usually assertive Scheherazade still couldn't help but ask a question, revealing just how uncertain and anxious he was.

“If it’s just for restraint, it shouldn’t be a problem,” Scheherazade said after thinking for a moment.

"I can sense that this Rider is a king, and being male, he is completely countered by my Noble Phantasm and inherent skills."

"But I don't know his unique skills and Noble Phantasm, so he might be able to counter me, or we might both be severely injured."

Scheherazade's analysis was perfectly sound, but it was extremely grating to Kenneth's ears, making his face grow even uglier.

However, he also knew that he could not ask Scheherazade for anything more at this time. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he lent Scheherazade his most important magical artifact, the Moon Essence Liquid.

"My Moon Spirit Essence should be able to withstand the damage from a C-rank Noble Phantasm. If things go wrong, it will buy you some time so I can activate a Command Spell to teleport you back."

Kenneth looked at Scheherazade with an air of entrusting his son to someone, which made Scheherazade feel a little embarrassed.

If Kitagawa Yu knew this, he would definitely be speechless again.

After all, in the original storyline, Kenneth didn't treat Diarmuid like this at all!

However, there was no time to say more now. Scheherazade took control of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid and then quickly headed towards the battlefield with the small silver ball that could only be destroyed by ping-pong balls when not in use.

Almost at the same time Scheherazade left the hotel building, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Yu Kitagawa, and Kiritsugu Emiya also received the news.

However, the reactions of the individuals were clearly different.

Tokiomi Tohsaka first breathed a sigh of relief, then began to think with a look of delight.

Now he has to make another choice: if Scheherazade can successfully restrain or even kill Iskandar, just like he did at the airport before.

Should he let Gilgamesh take the opportunity to use Ea to send everyone away, or should he play it safe and team up with Kenneth to send Kitagawa Yu and his group away?

Or should we play it safe and rescue Kotomine Risei first, and then get our hands on those dozens of Command Seals?

This is really a tough choice!

With Avalon by their side, Kitagawa Yu was in an invincible position from the start and had no worries that Scheherazade could threaten him.

Even if Artoria is also countered by Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm, Lancelot, that pervert, can't resist Scheherazade's charm spell.

However, Medusa, who had been hiding in the shadows, was enough to defeat Scheherazade.

However, Medusa was his secret weapon, and he could not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. So after hesitating for a moment, he decided to let Iskandar deal with Scheherazade alone.

"Well, Weber and Kenneth just happened to have an academic duel between teacher and student, so they should understand if I don't participate."

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

Unlike him and Tokiomi Tohsaka, when Kiritsugu Emiya heard Maiya Hisau's voice through the earpiece, although his face remained expressionless, his dark, abyss-like pupils suddenly revealed a glint of triumphant scheming.

That's right, the current situation is exactly what he planned.

Regardless of whether Kotomine Risei goes to help Tohsaka Tokiomi, he will find a way to approach Kotomine Risei, firstly to seize the dozens of Command Seals in Kotomine Risei's possession, and secondly to use himself as bait to lure everyone into the game.

This is undoubtedly a bit risky.

If Kitagawa Yu and Iskandar don't perform well, he will be facing both Assassin and Gilgamesh, the big boss, and will most likely have to leave the stage early.

But he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to find out as soon as possible whether the Greater Grail in this world was still usable, so he had no choice but to take the risk and make his move, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still unsettled and unprepared, and forcing them to start a war.

Fortunately, Kitagawa and his group successfully held back Gilgamesh, and Iskandar also lured Scheherazade away, so he could proceed with the next step of the plan.

"Maimi, it's up to you now."

"Don't worry, I won't fail!"

Having already disguised himself as a waitress and infiltrated the hotel, Hisayu Maiya spoke as she took a revolver loaded with Origin Bullets and boarded the elevator leading to Kenneth's floor.

Kiritsugu Emiya's origin is a very peculiar one: 'cutting' and 'binding'. It is a regeneration after destruction, but the regenerated form is different from the original.

The Origin Bullet was created by his master by cutting off his ribs, taking advantage of his origin.

Once it hits an enemy magician, the Origin Bullet will sever the opponent's magic circuits and then haphazardly reassemble the severed magic circuits, causing the opponent's magic circuits to become disordered.

And this effect is permanent.

A magician's magic circuits are like a computer's motherboard and CPU. If they malfunction, at best, the magician will be unable to use magic anymore, and at worst, the magician will die from the backlash of uncontrolled magic.

It can be said that the Origin Bullet is a dangerous Mystic Code that is very specifically designed for magicians in the Type-Moon world.

According to Kiritsugu Emiya's original plan.

Because of this sudden battle, Kenneth, who was forced to participate, could only send Scheherazade alone.

He couldn't make it in time and had to stay at the hotel, parting ways with Scheherazade.

Without the help of Heroic Spirits, Kenneth would undoubtedly be quite 'vulnerable,' presenting a perfect opportunity to deal with him. At that moment, he would have Hisau Maiya unleash his Origin Pulse, a weapon that was like a 'magician's bane.'

Magicians often look down on ordinary people or things that belong to ordinary people, especially aristocratic magicians like Kenneth.

He even schemed to get Kenneth's Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, so in his view, there was a high chance that Hisayu Maiya would succeed.

Of course, he didn't intend to kill Kenneth outright. Instead, he planned to control Kenneth and then seize control of Scheherazade.

If Scheherazade dies at the hands of Iskandar, that's one thing, but if Scheherazade defeats Iskandar, then he will have two Heroic Spirits, plus dozens of Command Seals.

Then, if he faces the winner between Kitagawa Yu and Tohsaka Tokiomi, his chances of winning will increase significantly.

It must be said that his plan was quite clever, and the chances of success were very high. However, he miscalculated a few key points.

First of all, he did not expect that Kenneth, under Scheherazade's invisible charm, would actually lend out his most important and precious magical artifact, Moon Essence Liquid.

When has Kenneth ever been so generous? Even Webber, who knows him best, couldn't have imagined it!

Then his design for the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid would be useless.

Furthermore, and most importantly, Kenneth, after losing the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, outwardly maintained his usual arrogant and conceited demeanor, appearing easy to target, but in reality, he was extremely insecure.

Although Hisayuu Maiya didn't have any magical energy fluctuations, and her Origin Bullet looked like an ordinary bullet, it wasn't particularly noticeable. Taken together, she looked like a piece of trash that could be easily dealt with.
