Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

The door was quickly opened. As Master, Ryoma Tohsaka naturally had no desire to sleep while Solomon was engaged in battle.

Chapter 147 The Death of Ryoma Tohsaka

"Before I leave the vast sky, I have come to bid you farewell."

The priest in black bowed deeply to the other person, appearing to have a deep teacher-student relationship.

"Come in quickly, I've already prepared hot tea."

"Well... thank you for your help, teacher."

Controlling his somewhat overly excited emotions, Kotomine Yang stepped into the Tohsaka residence once again.

"Are you leaving already, Yang?"

Ryoma Tohsaka welcomed his prized disciple inside, his words filled with reluctance, for Kotomine Yang had indeed helped him a great deal.

"Yes, mentor, I didn't expect to cause you trouble at this last moment. I'm so sorry."

The priest in black, sitting upright, bowed again in apology. Although his face remained expressionless, his words conveyed a deep sense of regret.

"It's alright, I know. After all, someone was so bold as to directly infiltrate the Kotomine Church. It's a miracle you're still alive. It's normal for you to leave Changkong City, since you're in danger right now without a Servant."

"...But no matter what, you are still my disciple. Although we met because of the Holy Grail War, I am very proud to have you as my disciple."

"Your attitude as a seeker of truth is something I am ashamed of. I hope that from now on, you can maintain contact with our Tohsaka family like the late Father Joyce."

Upon hearing this, Kotomine Yang, who had been keeping his head down, couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, Ryoma Tohsaka clearly misunderstood his disciple's smile and became even more satisfied with him, so he happily said...

"Yes, you are a reliable person. I want my daughter to learn more from you. After this Holy Grail War, I hope you can guide Mei as her senior brother. Although it is written in a rather simple way, it can be considered my will. I have signed that I will pass on the position of head of the family to Mei and designated you as her guardian until she comes of age."

Ryoma Tohsaka also showed a wry smile. According to previous investigations, multiple forces had entered this Holy Grail War, and the quality of the Servants was also unprecedentedly high.

In other words, if Caster is tied up, he is likely to be killed and unable to survive to the end in this war.

However, the Holy Grail is the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family for generations, and they cannot give it up because of this, so they have no choice but to make a will in advance.

Thinking this, Ryoma Tohsaka took out a letter from the corner of the table.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"Although it's simple, it's kind of like a will..."

“Even though the possibility is very low, just in case, I’ve written here that the headship of the Tohsaka family will be passed on to Mei, and you will be her guardian until she comes of age. Just hand it over to the Clock Tower, and the Mage’s Association will take care of the rest…”

"Leave it to me, I will definitely take responsibility and take good care of your daughter."

Despite his wicked nature, Kotomine Yang solemnly accepted the will from his teacher as a priest.

"I believe in you, Yang!" With that, Ryoma Tohsaka solemnly handed the letter to Yang Kotomine.

At the same time, he was also given two black wooden boxes.

"Open it and see, it's a gift I gave you..."

"This is?"

Yanfeng Yang opened one of the boxes, and inside, decorated with velvet, lay a beautifully crafted short sword.

"The Mercury Sword (Azoth) is proof that you have completed your apprenticeship in the Tohsaka family's magic."

Ryoma Tohsaka clearly chose the gift carefully. This replica of the magic sword wielded by the elementalist Paracelsus, as a magician's first costume, can be said to have both practical and commemorative significance.

"I am but a humble disciple, yet you have treated me with such generosity that I am at a loss for how to thank you, teacher."

Kotomine Yang lowered his head and carefully examined the short sword in his hand. His gaze lingered on the sharp blade for a long time. This... perhaps it was fate's arrangement.

However, Ryoma Tohsaka probably saw it as gratitude...

"What about the other box, teacher?"

"The contents of this other box are also a bit of my personal possession."

Ryoma Tohsaka opened the box directly, revealing a blue ice katana inside.

"This is the plasma show I prepared for Mei. If I survive the Holy Grail War, I will get it back. I'm leaving it with you for now."

"No problem, teacher, I will take good care of it for you."

"No, Yang, you yourself are the best reward for me. In this way, I can face the final battle with peace of mind."

The gentle and refined Ryoma Tohsaka smiled and nodded, then got up from the sofa to open the door and see his disciple off, exposing his back to Kotomine Yang without any precautions.

"Teacher, before I leave, I want to ask you one last question: where is your servant Solomon? I haven't seen him!"

"Ask Solomon. He went to deal with that Archer Servant named Kevin."

Ryoma Tohsaka, caught off guard, directly told Yang Kotomine where Solomon had gone.

"Sorry for talking to you for so long. Hurry up and leave Changkong City. I hope it won't delay your flight." Ryoma Tohsaka turned around and urged him hurriedly.

"Don't worry, teacher—because, you see, there were never any airplanes to begin with!"

Yang Kotomine laughed heartily, a laugh he had never seen before in his life. He strode forward, and the Proxy precisely thrust the Azoth Sword into Ryoma Tohsaka's heart, without any killing intent or warning.

"Eh!"

Ryoma Tohsaka stared blankly as the Azoth sword, a symbol of friendship and mentorship, pierced through his body. The technique of this strike was extremely high, demonstrating Kotomine Yang's professionalism as an agent. Without any unnecessary movements, he easily took Ryoma Tohsaka's life.

Ryoma Tohsaka staggered back a few steps, staring blankly at the sword and at Kotomine Yang's blood-soaked hand. Even in death, he didn't understand why his student, whom he trusted so much, would betray him...

Ryoma Tohsaka, the current head of the Tohsaka family, lay there so easily, and forever, on that luxurious carpet…

In that instant, Kotomine Yang felt a reality he had never experienced before, so clear, so... that it brought him to enlightenment...

"Teacher, it's all your fault. Blame it on you for blocking my way. After all, I'm destined for heaven, so I have to be prepared for that. So, teacher, you should leave this world with the same awareness!"

As he pulled the Azoth sword from the corpse, Kotomine Yang casually remarked that the head of the Tohsaka family probably never dreamed he would die not in the Holy Grail War, but at the hands of his most trusted disciple.

After tidying up the scene, Kotomine Yang left the Tohsaka residence with the Azoth sword and the box containing the plasma projection device.

Chapter 148 Berserker VS Saber

Seeing Ryoma Tohsaka stabbed to death by Kotomine Yang, a scene of patricide, the expressions of the people in the space were all different.

"Leader... um... I feel I'm doing alright in prison, so you don't need to rush to rescue me!"

Upon seeing this, Raiden Ryoma felt a chill run down his spine, instinctively clutching his heart and moving a tiny bit away from Welt Yang.

Even though I knew it was a parallel world, when I saw 'myself' die in front of me, with the killer who looked exactly like me right next to me, I couldn't believe I didn't feel anything.

I, Raiden Ryoma, was imprisoned because of Cocolia. Now, after finally making contact with the Alliance Leader, I discover that another 'me' has died at the hands of another 'Alliance Leader'. Urgent help needed!

"Ryoma...this is a parallel world...Kerome Yang, not me, you know what kind of person I am..."

In the end, Walter Young didn't know what to say. Although he knew from the beginning that he was playing the villain this time, he never expected that he would betray Ryoma Tohsaka in the parallel world.

Tesla and Einstein, standing to the side, were also quite embarrassed. After all, seeing Yang, who had the same face, playing the villain and backstabbing others so skillfully, they didn't know what to say. Both had inherited Joyce's name, but they were doing the opposite.

"My father from a parallel world... just died like that..."

Mei stared in disbelief at the corpse of Ryoma Tohsaka, who had been backstabbed by Kotomine Yang, as if she had lost her soul.

To say that his relationship with his father was very good would be an exaggeration. After the disappearance of Houmu Sword Saint, the only way he could spend time with his father was cut off. After ME Company was suddenly exposed for a scandal involving suspected economic fraud, his father, Raiden Malone, was also imprisoned for allegedly forging financial documents.

Her once close friends began to distance themselves from her. It was only then that Mei realized that they had never cared about her, but rather about the name "Raiden Mei." It was also at this time that Mei learned about her father's protection of her.

Mei also saw what the magic world in that parallel world was like through the video. Except for a few, most magicians would abandon even their relatives and friends in the face of profit.

Mei's father, a magician, was the same way. However, Mei could see that her father in the parallel world truly cared about her. Yet, this very father was hastily betrayed and killed.

She thought her situation was bad enough, but her father in the parallel world was even worse off. He was imprisoned on one side and betrayed and killed on the other. Couldn't her father have a better life?

"Mei... Your uncle in the parallel world died unjustly, but please accept my condolences!"

"It's alright, Kiana, I'm fine. After all... he's just a father from a parallel world..."

Although Mei said that, her pale face revealed that she was in a bad mood. She was worried about her father in prison.

"Alright, you idiot Kiana, let Mei-neechan have some peace and quiet by herself. Don't bother her anymore!"

Bronya then grabbed Kiana, shook her head, and stopped Kiana from asking questions.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, Bronya."

At the same time that Ryoma Tohsaka died, Solomon, who was in the Reality Marble, also encountered problems.

Solomon, who was fiercely fighting Kevin, was completely overwhelmed because his supply of Honkai energy was cut off.

Solomon knew that Ryoma Tohsaka was in trouble and wanted to rush back, but Kevin's obstruction caused a stalemate.

Kevin also noticed Solomon's unusual behavior, so he was even more determined not to let Solomon leave.

In order to get rid of Kevin, Solomon also destroyed his own innate barrier. With such explosive power, Solomon was able to get rid of Kevin.

"—Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"

The continuous roar of battle echoed from afar, a testament to the intensity of the fighting.

As Qianjie ran, he was like a road roller, crushing everything in his path with overwhelming force, and launched a fierce attack on Rowling.

At this moment, his whole body was filled with black killing intent, and he only had eyes for Rowling!

Needless to say, Rowling dared not be careless in the slightest and focused all her attention on facing this Thousand Tribulations!

Qianjie exuded a terrifying aura. After rushing to Rowling's side, he raised his hand and smashed the "weapon" in his hand down hard on Rowling's head.

Rowling fearlessly blocked Thousand Calamities' attack with Excalibur. The burning iron pillar and Excalibur sparked with sparks, locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Not bad, woman! Can you withstand this move?"

Qian Jie transformed into a fire giant, repelling Rowling. With a wave of his hand, a fiery meteor descended from the sky. Because Qian Jie hadn't activated his inherent barrier, the fiery meteor ignited the Einzbern forest, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Qian Jie in the sea of ​​fire was like a fire demon, extremely hateful.

"I'll tear you apart! I'll tear you apart! To vent my rage!"

Qianjie had had enough of this lately, being ordered around by that woman Cocolia and being beaten up by Kevin. He needed to vent his anger now.

"--boom!"

Qianjie gripped the iron pillar with both hands as if it were a large spear, and forcefully slammed Rowling to the ground. Despite Rowling's petite stature, with the blessing of the Magic Release skill, she possessed physical strength that was no less than any Servant, and even the force of a casual blow was much stronger than that of most Servants!

"—Bang!"
