Abnormal Moon

Rin Tohsaka did not pursue, but instead assumed a fighting stance, lowering her center of gravity, looking as if she was about to charge forward at any moment.

More importantly, her body was shimmering with green light, like ribbon cables, and magical flashes filled her entire body.

That's a symbol of enhanced magic.

"You want to use the Bajiquan I taught you against me? Don't you think that's incredibly arrogant, Rin?"

Kirei Kotomine looked at the stance she adopted, smiled noncommittally, and then adopted the same stance as her.

Compared to Rin Tohsaka, his stance was much more natural and peaceful, but this natural stance caused Rin Tohsaka, who was facing him, to feel a faint stinging sensation.

Rin Tohsaka felt a chill run down her spine.

Kirei Kotomine's Bajiquan skill level far surpasses hers. Her stance is extremely aggressive, making it clear at a glance that she is going to get serious, but Kirei Kotomine's stance is very natural, with all aggression completely contained. The difference in their martial arts levels is more than just a little bit.

But Rin Tohsaka knew even better that she couldn't defeat Kirei Kotomine using simple magic. Kirei Kotomine was her senior, and he knew her magic routines inside and out. With his reaction speed, he could easily shatter the gem the moment she threw it.

In contrast, although her Bajiquan was also taught by Kirei Kotomine, and he must be very familiar with her punching routines and habitual small movements, she has another huge advantage.

“You are a believer in the Holy Church, and the church rules prohibit priests from using magic other than baptismal chants. This gives me an advantage!”

Without hesitation, Rin Tohsaka stepped forward, shattering the ground beneath her feet with a single stomp, and unleashed a punch at Kirei Kotomine like a pestle pounding medicine.

Kirei Kotomine remained silent, but he did indeed choose to avoid the force of Rin Tohsaka's punch, which was powerful enough to shatter stone.

But what followed was Rin Tohsaka's overwhelming offensive!

Perhaps because Kirei Kotomine was also there, the Calamity Titans did not approach the area, but instead kept their distance, and then continued to attack Archer.

Red Archer constantly uses Fantasy Collapse to destroy the giant's body, maneuvering around it with ease.

"Just a target with a big body!"

Red A breathed a sigh of relief.

Giants may have enormous physiques, but they lack offensive capabilities. They can only slap the ground, are as simple as babies, have very little killing power, and are slow to move.

Even though he is currently injured, he is not difficult to deal with.

"Buzzing and rumbling—"

At some point, a tiny yet sharp buzzing sound, like the flapping of a bee's wings, began to emanate from the underground cavern.

The buzzing grew louder and louder, quickly reaching a level that could be heard by the human ear, and became increasingly sharp, like a drilling machine constantly drilling holes next to the ear.

"what sound?"

Rin Tohsaka heard it especially clearly; the sound seemed to linger in her ears, and it grew increasingly piercing, impossible to ignore.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Kirei Kotomine swept his leg across her, forcing her back, and then stroked her bare, red arms to soothe the burning pain.

"It's nothing, the Greater Grail has entered its second phase."

Kirei Kotomine smiled and gave her the answer.

Rin Tohsaka's breath hitched.

She quickly looked into the crater and saw that the sphere carved with the image of a woman, located in the crater, was now emitting a black and red flash that seemed to absorb all light like a black hole.

"By now, the black mud should have already started to spread outside."

Kirei Kotomine spoke indifferently, as if it were none of his business.

"If we don't stop it immediately, the tragedy from ten years ago will be repeated."

That bastard, he makes it sound so easy!

Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth inwardly.

Her strength, after being enhanced, did indeed surpass that of Kirei Kotomine, whose physical abilities were declining. However, Kirei Kotomine could completely see through her attack patterns, and she was unable to break into his arms to launch an effective attack. It would be difficult for her to defeat him in a short period of time.

Even Kirei Kotomine can't get past this, how are we supposed to stop the Greater Grail?!

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The entire cavity shook violently, like an earthquake of magnitude 8.

The two of them stumbled and quickly lowered their center of gravity, lying prone on the ground.

"what happened?"

The two scanned the area back and forth, but found nothing unusual in any of the four directions.

The battle between Red Archer and the Calamity Giant wouldn't cause such a commotion.

So, the direction from which the noise came was—

"above!"

The two of them looked up at the large, empty ceiling.

Just then, the two of them saw the huge, hollow dome disappear from their sight, leaving only a suffocating heat, as if they were on the surface of the sun.

"What the hell...!"

Rin Tohsaka stared at the night sky before her, the moon as bright as ever, and she was completely dumbfounded.

From the mountain surface to the underground cavity, there are at least more than 100 meters of rock.

How could it all disappear so quickly?

Looking closely, it appears as if drops of thick, golden liquid are falling from the edge of the dome, leaving small holes in the ground, resembling molten iron falling to earth.

Was the sand and gravel melted?

Where did such a high temperature come from?

"Could it be those two Servants..."

Rin Tohsaka realized the only possibility, her lips twitching as a storm raged in her heart.

The only ones still fighting on the mountain right now are probably those two Servants, and they're probably the only ones capable of burning the entire mountain down.

Do you guys have to make such a huge fuss about your fight?

Chapter 115 Hero King, do you have such connections?

In the sky.

"Gods of Thunder, kill them all!"

Countless bolts of lightning, branching out like tree trunks, converged into a single beam and struck Gilgamesh fiercely.

Gilgamesh took out a lightning-proof shield from the Royal Treasury. The lightning struck the shield and immediately vanished as if nothing had happened.

"You idiot, you didn't even chant the incantation!"

Gilgamesh roared at Taigongwang, who was floating in mid-air.

Is that all he cares about?

When he was a Caster himself, didn't he also hate chanting spells? He would always pull out an axe and start chopping!

Roy sat atop the Four-Unlikes, holding the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag in his hand, his defenses impeccable. He hovered at the edge of the battlefield, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

"Haha, after all, I was the one who appointed the Thunder Gods!"

Taigong Wang laughed heartily, not caring at all, his long robes flowing freely, exuding a carefree and elegant air.

He pointed at Gilgamesh.

He stopped pretending.

He didn't even chant incantations, nor did he bother to form hand seals.

A mature Thunder team should learn to deal with its enemies on its own!

Then the lightning in the sky, which resembled golden snakes dancing wildly, actually started moving on its own, rushing towards Gilgamesh's location from all directions.

"Everyone really gave me face, that's what connections are all about! Do you have connections like that, King of Heroes?"

"You bastard!"

Gilgamesh pulled out several lightning-proof shields and surrounded himself, his words filled with annoyance at Taigong Wang.

What connections does he have?

Apart from his close friend Enkidu, he was surrounded by enemies.

Even if he were to encounter his close friend Enkidu, they would have to fight first before discussing anything else.

With a whoosh, nearly ten thousand golden gates suddenly opened above Mount Yuanzang, unleashing weapons of every kind from all of human history from every direction, all aimed at Taigong Wang.

Taigong Wang smiled slightly, showing no sign of panic. A flash of crimson light appeared beneath his feet, and he vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already outside the encirclement of the King's Treasure.

The tracking weapon veered off course and flew over, only to be blasted away by lightning.

"You slippery, filthy scoundrel!"

Gilgamesh became even more enraged upon seeing this.

Taigong Wang's escape techniques were truly extraordinary.
