Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War!

Chapter 53. The General is Here!

Tokiomi Tohsaka could only leave in a "shameful" manner, while Kariya Matou also noticed the "coldness" in the other's eyes.

In this war, if his own daughter were to become an obstacle, he would eliminate her as well.

To reach the source, he must succeed no matter the cost or sacrifice. This is the stubbornness and ideal of Tokiomi Tohsaka as a "magician".

"Berserker, is this really okay?"

Looking at the heroic spirits still tending to the courtyard, Matou Kariya approached and whispered.

Don't worry, it will be over soon.

"But what if you win?"

Suddenly, the other person pulled out a drawing board and wrote large, clear characters on it. Matou Kariya scratched his head, realizing the other person's predicament.

Berserker certainly wouldn't be happy if he were confined here.

Therefore, another battle is needed.

If it's Rider, I can confidently hand him the winner's spot.

He was also a king who could sacrifice for others and for the world.

That was not a one-sided judgment, but a past witnessed through the "power of transcendence".

He was already familiar with Rider's experiences.

Previously, because Saber and Assassin were still alive, there were too many "candidates" who could win, so he couldn't make a decision.

But now only Archer and Rider are left, so the only one who can choose the one who is more beneficial to Sakura's survival is Rider.

Archer, that capricious guy, might not be able to guarantee Sakura's survival.

Rider, on the other hand, will not take any "elimination" actions once he has achieved final victory.

The emperor who loves his sister would never harm Sakura.

Especially since Sakura is only a 6-year-old girl.

But going directly to negotiate with the other party would probably only arouse suspicion and distrust.

Why not just go ahead and fight Archer, and then find an opportunity to give the Dragon Balls to Rider?

He had already thought of the "script," ensuring it was the kind that would make Rider lower his guard and accept it.

With that emperor's wisdom, he could easily understand his own meaning.

Now all we have to wait for is when Archer will cause trouble.

.........

"Bang!"

Back home, Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't bear the thought of his earlier "defeat".

He was so close to achieving his long-cherished dream, yet he was stopped by his own daughter.

If he had known it would turn out this way, he should have left Sakura here and sent Rin Tohsaka, his eldest daughter, over there.

To have such a problem at such a crucial moment is truly the biggest mistake of Tokiomi Tohsaka's life.

"Um?"

While he was still feeling annoyed, he received a call from his familiar.

"Rigidity?"

"The church's situation is finally settled. Judging by the timing, Archer will probably make his move soon, right?"

Upon hearing the familiar words from the other party, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not deny it.

Although that "king" has not made any moves recently, things will certainly not remain peaceful forever.

He was seriously injured during the last raid, but he will recover in no more than a week.

"It doesn't matter if we ignore Rider for now, since the King of Heroes has the ability to kill him at any time."

"But the battle against Berserker is of utmost importance."

"In that case, you must really need a Command Seal as a reward."

Such a straightforward description made Tokiomi's tightly furrowed brows relax.

Command Spells are necessary to give him an advantage in future confrontations.

"Please find some time to come over today. The church is currently claiming to be in a busy period."

How could Tokiomi Tohsaka not know the implied meaning in those words?

Keeping it a secret from the two remaining Masters, Kotomine Ryou is planning to secretly replenish the Command Seals obtained during the siege, thus gaining the upper hand.

"I understand, I'll be right there."

After responding to the other party and hanging up, Tokiomi Tohsaka then walked towards the room.

"Sakura, Rider's Master, you will never understand who is really in charge of this war."

With an inexplicable confidence, Tokiomi Tohsaka sneered.

A young man and a child dared to challenge him, the head of a prestigious magician family?

That's incredibly naive!

.........

"Archer, are you here to kill me?"

Upon hearing those words, Gilgamesh looked at the "acquaintance" in front of him and sneered.

"Having lost their Master, have they also lost their will to fight?"

"You look so pitiful."

In this description, what comes to mind is that single strand of hair swaying on top of the head.

Saber!

Artoria!

After defeating Kenshin and sheathing her sword, she learned that Kiritsugu's contract had been broken, and she understood her own situation.

Surprisingly, she doesn't seem to be leaving the scene.

Ultimately, she chose to withdraw.

Yes, they stopped participating in the war and instead went into hiding.

But unexpectedly, Archer found it today.

Dressed in ordinary clothes, and drawing her still-shining holy sword, Saber had nothing to worry about.

Having retrieved her sword sheath, she was no longer the same as before, and now she no longer needed to back down when facing Archer and Berserker.

"Fool, I only came to check because I found a hidden rat. I didn't expect it to be you instead of that false king."

"Judging from your condition, you are maintaining your physical presence through the special properties of the sword sheath."

"Well, whatever, it's not a bad thing to play with you one last time."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Suddenly in high spirits, Gilgamesh laughed heartily as usual.

"Hmph, you think you've already won?"

"Neither Rider nor Berserker are opponents you can easily defeat."

Watching the other person turn away, Saber said coldly with disdain.

"Let's forget about the false king of Britain. Berserker is indeed a bit troublesome, but..."

"I will win!"

That confident tone rang out once again, reminding Saber of the opponent's strength.

Putting aside his arrogant personality, he is indeed very strong in terms of combat power.

"And is your willingness to back down so readily because of Rider?"

"Is his wish important to you?"

"That's none of your business! I'm just sincerely hoping that he will achieve final victory as the king."

"At least I'm better than someone like you!"

She yelled at the other person, but Saber didn't give them a friendly look.

As a fellow queen of Britain, she naturally hoped that Rider could go all the way.

Her own wishes had been fulfilled, which is why she was willing to withdraw after Kiritsugu's death.

Otherwise, she, wielding the holy sword and its scabbard, would have the power to intervene.

"I thought you had some profound insights, but it turns out it's just because we share the same British identity?"

"Pathetic fellow."

Gilgamesh was naturally very unhappy to be treated this way.

"What kind of king is a useless fellow who can't even protect himself?"

"Once I've dealt with Berserker, I'll make sure you remember the horrible death of that bastard Rider."

The figure disappeared from the spot, and Saber sheathed her holy sword.

"A king who can lead Britain to rise again is no incompetent man."

"Archer, you will die from your own arrogance sooner or later!"

...............

"Has it finally arrived?"

"I still feel very regretful about what happened to Kirei."

"It's alright, at least he served his purpose."

They were being greeted at the church entrance, where Tokiomi Tohsaka and Ritsu Kotomine were exchanging words.

"There are only two opponents left this time, and with Archer's strength, there shouldn't be any problem."

"As you said, that is indeed the case."

Slowly led inside, looking at the statue, Tokiomi Tohsaka extended his right hand.

"By the way, before I reward you with a Command Seal, let me introduce you to an important person."

"Um?"

Hearing Kotomine Risei's respectful tone, Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned.

grown ups?

"Clatter..."

The light footsteps sounded, and Tokiomi Tohsaka saw who it was.

His pupils suddenly contracted and then dilated.

Why are you here?!

"Who are you……!"

The other party's indifferent tone also signaled the end.

"Checkmate!"
