The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Hehe, I was wondering why these guys dared to die here. I was wondering why that guy in red looked so confident that everything would be fine tomorrow. It turns out they invited you here. Princess of my tribe... Oh no, now I should call you: Executioner." After seeing Elquet approaching, Wang Chong also understood that a big battle was about to begin.

Chapter 224 World Famous Paintings

After hearing Wang Chong's call, Elquet said nothing, but only took longer steps. Jeanne, who had been maintaining the effects of her Noble Phantasm, saw Elquet about to step out of its range and quickly shouted:

"Wait a minute! That guy has incredibly terrifying strength. He can ignore a distance of 10 meters and attack in an instant. None of us can react to his strength! If we step out like this, we won't even notice how we were injured! We might even die without knowing when!"

"..." However, Elquet acted as if she hadn't heard anything and simply stepped out of the range of the Noble Phantasm. Everyone was startled at first, expecting the True Ancestor Princess to be sent flying or toyed with like the others before her. But strangely, everyone noticed that Wang Chong didn't suddenly appear in Elquet's place. Instead, he observed Elquet with interest, showing no intention of taking immediate action.

"What's going on? Is there some limitation to his power?" For a moment, most people had doubts in their minds.

"Wow, you're actually walking towards me. You're not staying in that turtle shell, but are walking out to seek death? It's rare that the French saint has finally used my ability. Just like the saint's followers who knew the conspiracy of the French lords during the persecution of the saint at the end of the Hundred Years' War, they tried their best to save your life." Wang Chong said with a smile after watching Elquet walk out.

"If you don't come closer, I'm going to twist your head off with my fist." Elquet also showed a hint of madness and a cruel smile.

"Hoho, in that case, why not come a little closer."

Wang Chong leaped down from the church and slowly walked towards Elquet, without using his strange powers. The group watched as two individuals of unknown strength slowly approached, and finally, they were close enough for a punch, and Elquet struck first.

"Die--!" Elquet instantly increased her strength to a level that was enough to kill an ordinary True Ancestor. Her speed was so fast that no one except those servants with super combat power present could see the speed of her punches.

However, Elquet's golden eyes suddenly shrank. Her punching speed was already quite fast, but someone was even faster than her!

"Bang!" A burst of energy instantly spread out, and the sound of an exploding barrel was deafening. Wang Chong retracted his right leg. It was obvious that Wang Chong had kicked Elquet with his faster and stronger leg.

Elquet slid back a few steps, and a bruise appeared on her left leg, and her black stockings were torn.

"Too slow! I am the strongest True Ancestor. Even without using my innate ability, my speed and strength are far superior to yours, Princess." Wang Chong grinned.

"Looks like he's the same type as me. Humph, both of you prefer to use physical strength in a head-on fight?" Elquet glanced down at the wound on his left leg, and roughly sensed the strength of his opponent. It seemed he had underestimated him, but the planet's support would only further unlock his own strength according to the situation.

"I really want to test how much stronger my strength is than yours, Princess. Ha, but you'll know even without trying." Wang Chong said with a disdainful attitude.

"What you mean by 'trying' is to caress your opponent gently without leaving even a wound? It's a pity to waste this 100-pound pair of black stockings. I quite like them." Elquet looked down at the torn place. At this moment, her legs had already recovered as before thanks to the True Ancestor's super self-healing ability.

"Hmph, is that so? Then I'll accept your boring provocation and play with you for a few more times." As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, Elquet suddenly attacked again and punched Wang Chong in the face.

There was no doubt that Elquet's attacks had become more powerful and faster, but all of this was within Wang Chong's expectations. This time, he could fight with all his might! Wang Chong first stepped back, dodging a punch and a claw. Then, he stepped forward and delivered several punches directly to the opponent's face.

Elquet crossed his arms to shield his head, blocking the blows head-on. He then launched a high kick sideways, instantly sending forth countless shadowy figures. Wang Chong dodged the blow, leaping into the air to avoid it. Then, descending, he fiercely slammed Elquet with a knife-hand strike.

"boom!"

The ground cracked, sending up countless flying rocks that struck Jeanne's shield, only to be blocked. Everyone was watching this astonishing confrontation. Those magicians, who knew only magic and couldn't keep up with the speed of their physical bodies, were largely clueless and felt they would die without understanding if they stepped forward.

As for the top-tier Servants, they could barely discern the clues. Iskandar once again commented cautiously, "What a formidable pair of guys... Even without using that special ability, that monster is still so formidable simply through his martial arts and strength. With the combination of the two, it's no wonder he looks down on humans."

"It is really unfortunate that modern humans have to face such a monster that sucks human blood and lives. I don't know how many innocent souls have died at his hands. If we can't kill him today, I don't know how many more innocent lives will die at his hands." Artoria also took a deep breath and said.

"Oh, it's just a beast, just a beast with slightly sharper teeth. If you play tricks on me like this, I will take its head and cast it into the heavenly fire, letting it suffer the pain of burning until even its soul is burned by the flames." Gilgamesh sneered. He was just waiting for the final result. No matter who won the final victory, he, Gilgamesh, would take the monster's head.

"Die! Die!" Elquet's punches sped up, attempting to overpower Wang Chong with their sheer speed. However, Wang Chong's passive, Ruthless Combo, had been fully stacked after the continuous exchange of blows, and his attack speed had also skyrocketed, rivaling his opponent's in no way.

In the end, the two men clashed fists, and neither could defeat the other. Under their feet, a huge pit had already been created due to their respective struggles and the leakage of energy.

"Want to compete in the speed of continuous punches?" Wang Chong sneered, and then this time he used all his strength, punching at an extremely fast speed of more than a hundred punches per second, attacking Elquet. Elquet was also not willing to be outdone, and punched with all her strength. With the support of the planet, she would only become stronger and stronger.

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!!"

“Within the department, within the department, within the department, within the department!!”

As if their entire output depended on shouting, the sound of their fists clashing was deafening, but it couldn't drown out the sound of their desperate roars. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and it was unclear whose blood it was. All that was known was that their fists were constantly destroying and repairing each other over and over again.

At this moment, as their strength grew stronger, their energy swept across the ground, lifting them up and sending them soaring into the sky. In a flash, their battleground rose from the ground to the sky, where they engaged in a further confrontation.

Seeing that both of them had fought above the clouds and the winner was still undecided, the people watching below didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Joan of Arc, can you sense the location of those two people?" At this time, Artoria asked from the side.

"The battle fluctuations between the two of them are very strong, but at the moment, they are constantly moving away from us in one direction, which does not seem to be the direction of the Hanging Gardens... That monster seems to be deliberately leading Elquet away and not fighting in the Hanging Gardens." Joan of Arc said after using her class ability to sense the fluctuations of the battle.

"Then what should we do next? Wait here for the news of the final outcome between the two?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

"There's no problem in continuing to wait...but I'm just worried that there will be no news. Could it be that we have really become the cowards that the other side calls us? Hiding here all the time, and only coming out after the result is decided? If that happens, even if we win, we will be ridiculed by the enemy." Diarmait frowned.

"I have the same idea... Sitting and waiting for death is not my action plan. It's either win or lose your life, that's all. Now that the monster is gone, it's a good opportunity for us to officially start the war with those alien servants. I will take action and break down the castle's defense wall once again!" Artoria drew out the Sword of Promised Victory and spoke.

"Since Saber agrees, then Jeanne and I..."

"Wait! I object."

Just as Irisviel was about to have Jeanne remove her shield, a discordant voice rang out, and the one speaking was none other than Kotomine Kirei.

Chapter 225: Attack or be beaten

Sometimes Irisviel wondered why this man named Kotomine Kirei always seemed to like going against everyone else. Seeing him raise objections at this crucial moment, Irisviel said in a deep voice, "Why? Do you have any new instructions?"

"I dare not give you any advice, but you are underestimating Lady Baiji. Lady Baiji is destined to kill the True Ancestor. All we have to do is wait here for news. If we go out now, we might fall into the enemy's trap. Then we will become food for the fallen True Ancestor, helping him to recover, delaying Lady Baiji's killing of the other party, and we will lose our lives in vain." Kotomine Kirei said in a deep voice.

"So you mean you want us to continue hiding here? Even if you want to hide, do you think those alien servants will let us stay there safely? Look carefully at that fortress, they have already pointed their guns at us. Jeanne d'Arc said before that her shield has its limits, how long do you think we can hold on?" Artoria said angrily.

"Don't you still have us, Saber? Just grasp the moment to release your Noble Phantasm. I see that the fortress hasn't attacked yet, probably because they're afraid of your Noble Phantasm. They won't rashly use their killing moves before you launch your Noble Phantasm attack," said Kotomine Kirei.

"You bastard!" Artoria clenched her fists. Was he using her to deal with the magic cannon? The master and apprentice of the Tōsaka family were truly more shameless than their teacher.

"Besides, the one who should make the decision is the Master, not the Servant! Or do all the Masters present agree to leave?" Kotomine Kirei said indifferently.

"Oh my gosh!" Needless to say, Irisviel firmly stood on the side of her own Saber.

"No... No! If you go out now, you'll definitely die. Why are you rushing out like idiots? Can't you just... wait here until that monster is killed... I, I don't want to be that guy's blood meal... I don't want to..." Meanwhile, Sora looked devastated, clutching her head and half-crouching on the ground. Clearly, she was the Master who had been terrified by Wang Chong's sinister aura.

"Madam! Alas..." Diarmait had no choice but to choose loyalty and give up righteousness when he saw his master like this.

"That makes it two against one, what else?" Kotomine Kirei questioned.

"You should count me in, right? You should also know which side I will stand on." At this time, Wang Chong's clone finally spoke, looking directly at Kotomine Kirei and said.

"Hehehe... If you want to be turtles, go ahead. Tokiomi, don't think I don't know which side you will stand on, you coward." At this time, Matou Kariya naturally also planned to break out.

Although Tōsaka Tokiomi remained silent, everyone knew who he would favor, so the final decision fell on Waver.

"I... I..." Waver was actually just as frightened, not much better than Sora. After all, he'd just been frightened by the True Ancestor, Arquette, and had truly felt the terror of death and murderous intent. If possible, he might rationally consider waiting a little longer, until the final outcome was decided. But he also felt that if he did so, his allies would probably be disappointed in him, and... and Iskandar, too.

Waver glanced at Iskandar, then at Irisviel, Diarmait, Wang Chong, and the others. He swallowed hard. After all, he didn't want to disappoint his allies or his own Servants... Wait, honestly, why should he be so afraid of his own Servant being disappointed? He was clearly just his Servant. Ah! I was getting more and more confused. I didn't want to think about it anymore!

“I think…Ah!!!”

"boom!!"

Just when Weber decided to vote in favor, there was a sudden violent vibration and a bright light almost blinded Weber. Weber lost his balance and almost fell into the chariot, but was caught by Iskandar.

"It's magic bullets! These guys want to use magic bullets to consume Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm." Seeing countless black magic bullets constantly hitting Joan of Arc's shield, Artoria immediately extended her sword out of the range of Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm, and then waved her magic power to continuously cut those magic bullets and reduce the pressure on Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm.

Aside from a certain Hero King who seemed to be watching the show, and Hassan, who hadn't even entered and was hiding somewhere, the rest of the Servants were basically wielding their weapons to fend off the magic bullets. Even Lancelot seemed unusually sober today, not fighting Artoria anymore, but instead doing his job.

"Do you understand? If you don't take action and are not aggressive, you will only be attacked by the enemy until your shell is completely shattered! Either attack or be beaten, that's all." Wang Chong's clone also sneered twice at this time, and then fell silent again.

Joan of Arc, on the other hand, looked at Wang Chong with some surprise, feeling a little aggrieved. Why did everyone describe her treasure that protected everyone as a turtle, as if she had suffered a great injustice by staying in it? Obviously, she was the one who suffered the most injustice.

"Ouch... my eyes. What's going on?" Weber had become a little more awake at this time, and was shocked when he saw the magic bullets pouring out from outside.

"They're just some attrition tactics. They don't dare to directly attack with magic cannons, fearing that the Knight King's Noble Phantasm will be unleashed and will destroy their defenses. So they use these low-cost magic bullets to harass Jeanne d'Arc, hoping to consume her Noble Phantasm alive."

Iskandar raised the Sword of Cyprus high, unleashing thunder to counter the external magic bullets. He then continued, "But these are just minor issues. Have you considered your choice now?"

"Considering... Oh yes, I'm going to choose..."

"Boy, I'm asking, have you really thought about it and made a choice?"

Just when Weber was about to say that he was ready to agree to go out, he was suddenly interrupted by Iskandar. Iskandar looked at him like a teacher confirming what his students thought when they graduated.

"Wh...what do you mean? Don't you want me to agree with Saber and the others?" Waver asked doubtfully.

"No, I never thought about what I wanted from you, kid." Iskandar patted Weber's shoulder and said, "Kid, you've learned a lot and grown a lot in just a few days. But you shouldn't just care about other people's thoughts, my thoughts, you need your own thoughts."

"Do whatever you want. Although your allies and servants are indeed a significant weight on the scale, they are by no means the main factor. You must truly consider what is your best option."

"I'm glad you can follow my steps and understand my thoughts, boy. But you still have a long way to go. You must learn to think and act on your own when I'm not around," Iskandar said slowly. "Perhaps when you understand this, you'll no longer be my follower... but... Hahaha. Never mind, let's focus on the present."

"What are you talking about... Rider, you're just talking nonsense." Waver raised his hand and grasped his chest, as if trying to understand his true inner thoughts. Then, with a relieved smile, his eyes became firm. He said, "I understand. Thank you, Rider. This time, I choose to attack to the end."

"Really? Then let me hear your opinion, kid. Hahaha." Iskandar grinned and said.

"By the way! When did I become your follower? Don't talk to yourself! Really! Humph!" After Weber finished speaking, he jumped off the battlefield and walked back to the masters in the center. Now Weber was about to make his decision and cast a vote that was crucial to this battle once again.

Chapter 226: Unauthorized Expectations, Unauthorized Breaking of Defenses

"I have also made up my mind. Now I must go out and fight those alien servants!" After taking a deep breath, Weber said to the masters.

"Have you really made up your mind? Rider's Master?" Tōsaka Tokiomi asked in a deep voice.

"That's right. This is not just because I trust the judgment of the Servants, Irisviel, Mr. Wang Chong, and others. More importantly, the enemy has now used magic bullets to consume Ruler's Noble Phantasm. Doesn't this just prove that they are not confident enough that the Fallen True Ancestor can defeat Lady Baiji. That's why they must do their best to successfully destroy Ruler's Noble Phantasm and weaken us before the outcome is decided." Waver said.

"The arrow is on the string and must be released. If we go out now, we can at least eliminate those alien Servants, and then surround the Fallen True Ancestor. With the help of Ruler's Noble Phantasm, we still have a chance of victory. But if we continue to hide here, once the Noble Phantasm is broken, we will completely lose the trump card that can circumvent the opponent's strange ability, and we will definitely lose."

"Choose the lesser of two evils. If we go out now, our losses will undoubtedly be minimal. As for taking Bai Ji as the prerequisite for victory, then don't we have to worry about the Fallen True Ancestor?" Weber said bluntly.

"That's exactly what's going on, Master of the Tohsaka family. Now it's four against three, and the minority must obey the majority. Do you still have any objections?" Irisviel looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi and asked directly.

"No..." Tōsaka Tokiomi also opened his eyes at this time and accepted the result very calmly.

"In that case, Jeanne, be ready to unfasten your Noble Phantasm at any moment. I am ready to unleash it now, and that..."

"Ruler's Noble Phantasm cannot be released just like that." However, at this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly spoke.

"Master Tohsaka, what do you mean? Since we have already made the decision to attack, why are you still trying to stop us?" Irisviel was also dissatisfied. She knew very well that she had to enter the fortress tonight to rescue her daughter.

"I did not stop you from attacking. As you just said, since you think attacking is the best option, then please step out from under the protection of the Noble Phantasm. We believe that the Fallen True Ancestor is lurking around, and if you step out, you will die. Therefore, the three of us only ask for the protection of Ruler Jeanne d'Arc and continue to stay under Jeanne d'Arc's Noble Phantasm." Tōsaka Tokiomi said lightly.

"Haha, so in the end, Master Tohsaka, you never let us make a choice, but planned to separate us and monopolize Jeanne's Noble Phantasm, right?" At this time, Wang Chong's clone sneered a few times and said.

"Mr. Wang Chong, we are just trying to save our lives. Is there anything wrong with that? Or does our decision violate the terms of the covenant? Or, do you intend to let Jeanne ignore the demands of the three of us and disregard our lives? If so, you can just let your Servant Jeanne do such a thing." Tōsaka Tokiomi replied calmly.

Tōsaka Tokiomi had long understood from last night's voting that these four people were destined to oppose him, and that even if he tried desperately, he wouldn't be able to secure a single vote. It was clear that Tōsaka Tokiomi wouldn't have a chance to get a say in any of the choices. So, after much deliberation, he had already figured out that both sides were destined to face this situation, and so he deliberately set this trap for the four.

While nominally claiming to be making a choice, he was actually deliberately driving people away, leaving them to charge forward while he simply sat back and reap the benefits. Furthermore, in Tōsaka Tokiomi's view, the battle between the Fallen True Ancestor and Shirohime was already inevitable. No matter how powerful the Fallen True Ancestor was, he would definitely not be a match for Shirohime. After all, Shirohime's reputation for brutality was well-known.

Therefore, in Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes, all he needed to do today was wait and see. Not only could he eliminate the alien True Ancestor and the alien Servants, but he could also completely weaken his competitors. The best outcome would be for the alien Servants to eliminate these four at a high price, leaving him to clean up the mess. With the last Lancer, a family member, wouldn't it be easy for him to obtain the Holy Grail?

As for whether Jeanne would retain her Noble Phantasm? Ha, that was a foregone conclusion in Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes. Given the saintly, fair-minded Joan of Arc's personality, there was no way she would retract her Noble Phantasm. Tōsaka Tokiomi was well aware of the nature of such a pushover; it would be easy to coerce them into compromise.

"Hmph, this is the fate of going against my Tohsaka family. Aren't you very capable? I have already asked Lady Baiji to deal with the Fallen True Ancestor today. Isn't it reasonable for you to help me eliminate those alien servants?" A hint of coldness flashed in Tohsaka Tokiomi's eyes.

However, just when Tōsaka Tokiomi thought that everything was under his control, Jeanne's eyes flashed with determination. She stopped praying and waved the flag, preparing to end her Noble Phantasm.

"! Ruler, what are you doing!" Tohsaka Tokiomi was shocked and angry when he saw the Noble Phantasm being taken away.

"Tōsaka Tokiomi, I think you've made a mistake." Jeanne looked at Tokiomi and said solemnly, "As Ruler, my mission is to ensure that this Holy Grail War proceeds normally. And right now, the most abnormal anomaly in this Holy Grail War is those abnormal Servants. Therefore, I have only one mission, and that is to correct all of this. So, as Ruler, I will fight!"

"Secondly, personally, I never believe that victory in war can be achieved by hiding in one place. At least... the French rebels I lead have always fought to the very end, bringing victory and the future to the people of France. I will continue to fight, carrying everyone's will to the other side of success. So, as for me, I will fight!"

"I'm sorry, Diarmait, I'm going to remove the Noble Phantasm. Please be prepared to protect the Master." Jeanne said.

"It's okay. Protecting the lord's relatives is what I should do." Diarmuid shook his head, then stood in front of Sora, holding a red gun and ready to face the magic bullets that kept shooting down from the sky.

"Wait a minute! Are you just going to rush in so recklessly? Not to mention that the other side is constantly on guard against Saber's Noble Phantasm. Even if Saber can really break through the castle's defenses, among you, only Wang Chong and Rider can enter the castle. Do you have a way to get in? If you don't even have a way to get in, how can you..."

"That's enough! Tōsaka Tokiomi!"

When Tōsaka Tokiomi saw that Jeanne was really planning to remove her Noble Phantasm, he immediately became anxious and even asked questions like how to go to heaven, as if Wang Chong had no way of taking people to heaven. It was precisely these remarks that finally made a servant who had been watching the show unable to hold back.

"King, please calm down." Hearing this angry rebuke, Tōsaka Tokiomi's body suddenly stiffened. He sighed, turned to Gilgamesh, and said.

"Tokiomi, you're truly courageous. Haven't you already embarrassed me enough?" Gilgamesh's expression was immediately evident; he was furious. He clenched his fists and said, "I'm tired of this farce. I thought you, Tokiomi, could come up with something to please me, but you've ended up making me and you two become cowards?"

"No, that's not the case. I just wanted to..."

"Shut up! Those cultivators who insulted me are still singing and dancing. I have only one thought in mind: to completely destroy those insects! If I hear your cowardly words that pollute my ears again, I will kill you without mercy! The king's treasure!"

At this moment, a massive golden gate appeared behind Gilgamesh, and a soaring ship of light, made of gold and emeralds, slowly emerged from it. For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Since yesterday, I have been searching the treasury for my flying throne—the Vimana. Those clumsy flying fortresses are as foolish as stone targets before my throne. As for you, follow me and annihilate those miscellaneous cultivators!"

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, he jumped onto his throne and sat down. He looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi with some disgust and said, "Why don't you get up here?!"

Tōsaka Tokiomi never imagined that things would end this way. He was utterly humiliated. He hadn't understood Jeanne's character, and had presumptuously expected her to retain her Noble Phantasm. Only to have her play her cards against his will, and then, without his permission, she'd broken through. In the end, even his own king couldn't stand it anymore, and he destroyed his only escape route.

Tokiomi, miserable.
