The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Really? It only causes trouble... Atalanta, how are you doing?" Semiramis ignored Shatiao Aige and turned to look at Atalanta who was resting on the side and asked.

"That's right. That Gilgamesh can't do anything to me, but I can't do anything to him either. My means of output are countered by the Noble Phantasm he brought out. The Master is right. If that Gilgamesh underestimates his opponent, he is no match for Servants like me who have received the Master's baptism of power. But if we can't defeat him quickly and he controls the rhythm of the battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him."

Atalanta spoke slowly, "However, there are ways to defeat him. As the Master said, Gilgamesh's greatest reliance is his Noble Phantasm—the King's Treasure. Therefore, as long as my arrows are fast enough and numerous enough to drive back his Noble Phantasm before he can draw it, then he will be completely untouchable. Even defeating him is not impossible."

"Seal his royal treasure before he takes out the treasure that can counter us? This is a good plan. However... you have provided a good idea for defeating Gilgamesh." Semiramis said slowly.

"What idea?" Atalanta asked curiously.

"If we have a Noble Phantasm that can kill the Servant with a single strike, then no matter how powerful the opponent's Noble Phantasm is, it won't be able to be used." Semiramis said slowly, "If the Master hadn't asked us to keep him, I would have used my other Noble Phantasm to kill this Servant once and for all."

"Speaking of this...how are things going with Emiya Kiritsugu and Tōsaka Tokiomi?" Atalanta asked curiously.

"The two sides... are already very close, only one room apart. I believe they will collide soon, and a good show is about to begin." Semiramis smiled and said, "It's just right. Let Mordred's attack rhythm be more intense so that Gilgamesh has no time to pay attention to his Master. Even if he senses some danger, as long as Tōsaka Tokiomi doesn't use the Command Seal, Gilgamesh won't rush towards Tōsaka Tokiomi."

……

On the other hand, just as Semiramis said, since Emiya Kiritsugu and the others were walking along the rooms that Tōsaka Tokiomi had opened up, even if they walked carefully, it wouldn't take them long to catch up with Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"These monsters... Look, these burn marks don't look like they were there for very long. I think a battle just took place here, and the air is still a little hot. It looks like Tōsaka Tokiomi is already in the room not far ahead." The mysterious Servant picked up another corpse and examined it, then spoke.

"What do you think? Do you plan to take action now, or how do you plan to do it?" asked the mysterious servant.

"Take action... but you have to do it after the other party has just finished dealing with the next room. Are you sure you can successfully launch a sneak attack on Tokiomi Tōsaka under the nose of the Hero King, and then cut off Tokiomi Tōsaka's hand with the Command Seal?" Emiya Kiritsugu confirmed again and again.

"Of course, as long as you attract Tōsaka Tokiomi's attention. So this time, you need to think carefully about how to fight against that experienced magician. Let me remind you, you hit his calf once before, and he already knows the secret of your bullet. I'm afraid it will be difficult to use the Origin Bullet to be as effective as it was against Kenneth that time." said the mysterious Servant.

"Let's go, no need to say more. As long as you can cut off his Command Seal hand, I will have a way to hold him back." Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much. This time his pace was much faster than before. Perhaps because he knew that he was about to kill Tōsaka Tokiomi, he became a little anxious.

Hisau Maiya followed silently, pushing Kenneth's wheelchair, just as before.

Chapter 257: Death of Tousaka Tokiomi

"Ha...ha..." Tōsaka Tokiomi was now panting heavily, feeling very uncomfortable. With the increasingly unreasonable demands of the Rules Room, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt that his magic power had been almost depleted by half, and his physical strength was almost gone.

Especially now, the rules of this room actually required him to keep running the entire time, killing those thrashing venomous bee monsters. And every time he killed a venomous bee monster, he had to do a somersault. This made Tōsaka Tokiomi extremely tired. If he had asked his apprentice Kotomine Kirei to do this, it would have been easy, but he was just a pure magus, and had no experience with this kind of physical training. Just doing somersaults almost broke his old waist.

Fortunately, with the help of magic, Tohsaka Tokiomi still gritted his teeth and insisted on completing this set, and successfully completed the rules of this room. Just when Tohsaka Tokiomi wanted to take a good rest and prepare to recover his strength, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He did not choose to construct magic, but immediately dodged.

"boom!"

Sure enough, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody mark was left on Tohsaka Tokiomi's hand. Tohsaka Tokiomi felt pain at first, but his reaction was faster, and he already knew who he had met.

"Emiya Kiritsugu... actually appeared here?" Tōsaka Tokiomi felt that the current situation was very bad. He was now alone and had just consumed too much physical strength. Now he was facing Emiya Kiritsugu who had the means to restrain magic circuits. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would die here.

"I don't know if Emiya Kiritsugu has his servants with him! We must forcibly summon Gilgamesh!" Tōsaka Tokiomi made a quick decision and planned to pay a Command Seal.

"Da da da da da!" But then the sound of countless bullets rang out from the shadows, and it seemed that there was no chance for Tōsaka Tokiomi to use the Command Spell.

Facing the onslaught of bullets, Tōsaka Tokiomi constantly shifted his position, but at the same time, he made a decisive move, pulling out a previously prepared gem from his pocket and activating it. A golden barrier instantly rose from Tōsaka Tokiomi's body.

"Bang!" Then, at this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, as if expecting Tōsaka Tokiomi to use magic. That special bullet hit the barrier and easily broke it.

"As expected... you've been waiting for this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu!" However, even though his magic was shattered by this special bullet, Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't vomit blood like Kenneth had before, suffering severe injuries. Instead, he reached out again, pulled out a gem, and activated it again. Another khaki barrier appeared before him.

"It's worth it that I spent almost all my fortune to buy these five gems that can be used to store magic. As long as the magic is stored in the gems in advance, the magic level that is activated later will not be connected to the magic circuit, and your strange bullet will no longer be effective!" Toosaka Tokiomi thought to himself.

"Huh?" Emiya Kiritsugu, hiding in the shadows across from him, had obviously noticed this as well, noticing that his bullets had no effect on Tohsaka Tokiomi. But he quickly recalled the intelligence regarding Tohsaka Tokiomi's jewel magic, and instantly understood everything.

"By the Command Seals, Hero King..." At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't hesitate much. He immediately activated his own Command Seals, ready to summon Gilgamesh to the battlefield. Emiya Kiritsugu secretly thought that this was bad luck. He had finally gotten lucky, but he had run into Tōsaka Tokiomi alone. If Tōsaka Tokiomi had summoned Gilgamesh, it would probably not be so easy to kill him and seize the Command Seals.

"boom!"

"Khronos Rose (Pick the flower when it blooms)"

But at this moment, the mysterious Servant suddenly attacked. He first took out a gun wrapped in rags, but the appearance of which made Emiya Kiritsugu feel very familiar. Then his body suddenly accelerated, and at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, he rushed in front of Toshiomi Toosaka, then raised his hand and fired the shot at the barrier on Toshiomi Toosaka's body.

"Crack—" The sound of broken glass suddenly rang out. Before Tōsaka Tokiomi's pupils could show panic again, the mysterious Servant raised his sword and chopped off Tōsaka Tokiomi's arm, which was engraved with the Command Seals and emitted red light, and abruptly interrupted Tōsaka Tokiomi's use of the Command Seals to forcibly summon Gilgamesh.

"It was clearly the best opportunity, but I didn't expect you to miss it. Wouldn't it be possible to resolve it by simply relying on fire cover and close contact?" The mysterious Servant's cold voice came from the front, but at this moment Emiya Kiritsugu looked very shocked.

If you ask why, it's because he was shocked to find that the other party's technique was surprisingly similar to his own! Without a doubt, this was time accelerating his body, forcing him to move at such a high speed.

"Why...why would you use this..."

"Okay, stop dawdling. The King of Heroes should have noticed something is wrong. If he's nearby, it would be bad if he comes to support us. Now hurry up and transfer Tōsaka Tokiomi's Command Seals while there's still time, and then kill him. In this way, you can become Gilgamesh's new Master." The mysterious Servant urged Emiya Kiritsugu, as if he didn't intend to discuss this topic.

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment, but he finally stepped forward. The mysterious Servant repeated the same words and transferred the Command Seals from Tōsaka Tokiomi's broken arm to his own.

"Ah-ah!!!" At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi finally felt the pain of his broken arm, uttering a horrific cry as he fell to his knees. There was no trace of grace or composure left. Things had happened so quickly that Tōsaka Tokiomi hadn't even noticed what had happened before he had already failed, losing both his Command Seal and his right arm.

Losing the Command Seals meant that he could no longer summon Gilgamesh. Now he could only rely on himself. If he didn't want to die...

"Gem magic—Ugh!!"

"boom!"

But just as Tōsaka Tokiomi gripped his cane and was about to perform a magic trick of destroying himself and the enemy together, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and from the shadows, Hisau Maiya slowly walked out with a sniper rifle.

A large hole opened up in Tōsaka Tokiomi's chest, and he died there, a rather hasty death, a casualty of gunfire. Incidentally, he was also shot from behind. In a sense, it was no different from being backstabbed, and in a sense, it was the same death method as in the original novel.

……

"Hmm? Damn it..." Gilgamesh also realized that his magic power was suddenly cut off at this time. Although he was very unhappy with that guy Tōsaka Tokiomi, and even thought that Tōsaka Tokiomi really deserved to die, he should never have died so hastily while he was in the middle of a fierce battle with others.

"Bastard, I want to see who killed him." Gilgamesh felt a restraining force from the Command Seal acting on himself. He had planned to transfer himself to Toosaka Tokiomi's position, but unfortunately Toosaka Tokiomi seemed to have died before completing the Command Seal, resulting in the restraining force not completely pulling him over.

But this does not prevent Gilgamesh from finding the right direction and acting independently: A-level Gilgamesh will not disappear directly due to the death of his master, and can even act for a considerable period of time and use considerable magic power.

"Ant, get out of my way! I don't have time to waste on you!" A large number of golden treasures appeared behind Gilgamesh and bombarded Mordred. Then, Gilgamesh began to leave the battlefield.

Mordred, who had originally intended to rush over and strike Gilgamesh head-on with his sword, gave Gilgamesh a slightly disgruntled look, as if receiving some news, and then used his sword to block the Noble Phantasms. Under the barrage of Noble Phantasms, he could no longer stop Gilgamesh from leaving.

Chapter 258: Gilgamesh is forcibly controlled

At night, in the room of the Zenjo family, the drowsy Toosaka Aoi suddenly heard a terrible scream. The voice sounded like the voice of her beloved husband Toosaka Tokiomi, and it woke Aoi up in an instant.

"Ha...ha...are I hallucinating?" Toosaka Aoi touched her forehead, not taking it too seriously. This wasn't the first time she'd experienced this. Ever since she'd been forced into a fight by a sudden stranger, she'd always been prone to hearing her husband's voice.

She was terrified, terrified that one day Tokiomi would discover her shameful deeds, and that horrific scream would be like the scream of someone catching her in an affair with someone else. Whenever her guilt reached a certain level, she would hear this voice in her mind. Sometimes, even when she was in high spirits, it would occur, causing her to suffer from both fear and pleasure.

"Oh... Tokiomi, what should I do... If this continues, I'm really scared... I'm really scared that I won't be able to recognize myself at all." Compared to auditory hallucinations, Toosaka Aoi recently found that her longing for her husband was becoming less and less. On the contrary, her mind was full of that man's malicious words and deceptive sweet talk.

Not to mention, when you're lying in bed, your body will uncontrollably crave those things.

"Go to bed early. Maybe I should go talk to Tokiomi tomorrow." Aoi Tōsaka's face was gloomy. She could only sigh and turn off the lamp. This was the only time Tōsaka Aoi had, and she was looking forward to seeing Tokiomi tomorrow. She really... really didn't want to change her mind.

But Toosaka Aoi could never have imagined that from tonight onwards, she would never be able to hear her husband's voice again.

……

As one of the three great families, Tōsaka Tokiomi fell in a pool of blood with a "broad-minded" expression, his face full of unwilling shock and anger. Hisau Maiya slowly walked in front of Emiya Kiritsugu and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just took action and killed him."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you didn't do it, I would have killed him with my own hands. Tōsaka Tokiomi is no longer of much value... Keeping him around would only burden us." Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head slightly, then looked at the mysterious Servant who was still chanting and transferring the Command Seals along with the contract to his arm.

"God is a Spirit"

“Those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24)

After the chanting was completed, blue light emanated from his hand again. The two Command Seals on Tokiomi's broken arm and the contracted servant that originally belonged to Tokiomi now completely belonged to Emiya Kiritsugu.

From this moment on, Emiya Kiritsugu once again possessed his own Servant and became the Master of this Holy Grail War again.

"The strength of the Hero King is obvious to all... but you must also be careful. The Hero King is very difficult to control. At least your compatibility with him is very poor. If possible, I suggest you stabilize him first, and then use the Command Seals on your arm to forcibly control the Hero King." said the mysterious Servant.

"Wait a minute, you haven't explained clearly what's going on!" However, after obtaining the Command Seals, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately distanced himself from the mysterious Servant, and aimed his Thompson competitor at the mysterious Servant, questioning him.

"The sudden acceleration, and the effect of the bullet you just fired. You can't fool my eyes." Emiya Kiritsugu said, took a deep breath, stared at the mysterious Servant, as if wanting to see the face under the shadow clearly, and said, "Who are you?"

"Is this important? Emiya Kiritsugu...when did you become a guy who can't see what he wants to do?" The mysterious Servant said coldly, and suddenly appeared in front of Emiya Kiritsugu the next moment.

"! Innate time--" Emiya Kiritsugu was about to use his magic to speed himself up, but he was a step too slow and was kicked to the ground.

"Kiritsugu--!" Seeing this, Hisau Maiya on the side immediately aimed the sniper rifle in her hand at the mysterious Servant's head.

"Don't move, Miss Maiya. If I mean to kill you, neither of you will survive." At this moment, the mysterious Servant took out the gun wrapped in cloth that he had just taken out, pointed it at Kiritsugu Emiya who was lying on the ground, and said.

"So do you understand? Emiya Kiritsugu—who I am has never been important. We both have important things to accomplish with each other. You want to kill Tōsaka Tokiomi and end the Holy Grail War. And I, too, only want to kill the true mastermind behind this Holy Grail War. We have the same goal, so all we have to do is work together to achieve this result."

After saying this, the mysterious Servant put the gun back into his arms and said, "Let this be a warning. Don't waste each other's time or patience any longer. Tōsaka Tokiomi is dead, and the surroundings remain unchanged. This is enough to prove what I said before. Come, follow me to kill the true mastermind behind this Holy Grail War—Wang Chong."

"..." Emiya Kiritsugu stood up and signaled with his eyes for Hisau Maiya to put down the sniper rifle. Hisau Maiya had no choice but to obey Emiya Kiritsugu's words.

"So you are the rats who killed my ministers and stole the contract while I was away?" At this moment, a sense of oppression came from above, and many golden particles regrouped. Gilgamesh appeared on a broken pillar, looking down at Emiya Kiritsugu and others below.

Of course, Gilgamesh still glanced at the motionless Tōsaka Tokiomi, a flicker of disgust in his eyes. Although Gilgamesh had already decided to kill Tōsaka Tokiomi, he hoped that Tōsaka Tokiomi would die in a suitable place, a meaningful death. For example, dying at the hands of his disciple's betrayal would make him feel happy.

Now, not only had Tōsaka Tokiomi died a rather hasty death, but Gilgamesh also felt that his contract partner had become the man in black before him. This made Gilgamesh extremely unhappy. Since when had his contract relationship been decided by someone else?! The other party's unauthorized theft undoubtedly touched a nerve with Gilgamesh.

"Rats, have you decided how you're going to die?" With that, dozens of golden circles of light unfolded behind Gilgamesh, and his cold Noble Phantasm reflected a chilling sharpness under the light. Gilgamesh didn't care whether the other party possessed Command Seals or not. If they dared to provoke him, they would pay a heavy price.

"Tsk..." Emiya Kiritsugu knew very well that the other party was not the type to listen carefully, and he himself was not good at words. Therefore, it was no surprise that he had to use this Command Seal.

"In the name of Emiya Kiritsugu, and by the Command Seals..." Emiya Kiritsugu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the entire Command Seals, which emitted a red light.

"Huh!?" After seeing the other party's arms full of Command Seals, Gilgamesh couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"King of Heroes, you must not do anything to harm the Master today." Emiya Kiritsugu issued a command spell.

Soon, Gilgamesh felt a strong restraining force, which stopped him from using his Noble Phantasm to kill Emiya Kiritsugu. It also forced him to withdraw his Noble Phantasms into the King's Treasure Space.

Gilgamesh sneered. It was clear that Emiya Kiritsugu's actions had once again infuriated him. In this situation, Gilgamesh would no longer act arrogantly or violently. Instead, he calmly waited for the opportunity to strike, like a hunter waiting for his prey to show a flaw.

It didn't matter to Kiritsugu Emiya. With so many Command Seals, he could at least command the powerful Servant, the King of Heroes, at will until the end of this Holy Grail War.

As for why Emiya Kiritsugu had just restricted himself to today, instead of directly prohibiting any actions that would harm the Master, it was because the Command Spells also had some restrictions.

Command Spells have a high degree of coercive power when used to issue instantaneous or specific orders. However, their effectiveness diminishes if the duration of the order is too long or the scope is too broad. Thus, an order like "obey everything I say" is practically ineffective. Similarly, a command to "not do anything that harms the Master" is too broad and long-lasting, making it virtually ineffective.

Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu needed to add today to shorten the deadline and increase the effectiveness of his order.

"Well, Gilgamesh, can you calm down now and listen to our explanation?" At this time, the mysterious servant spoke.

Chapter 259 Sophistry

"Haha, who are you? This fellow only ordered that he should not be harmed, but he didn't say that he couldn't kill you two." As he spoke, Gilgamesh glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu and sneered, "Of course, if you have the guts, use two more Command Seals on me. I'd like to see if your reserve of Command Seals is sufficient."

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath. He had finally seen how each of these Servants was more troublesome than the last. They were clearly just Servants, a different kind of familiar, mere projections of the Heroic Spirits on the tapes. They weren't even Heroic Spirits, let alone the true masters.

Why are these guys so arrogant as to commit acts of lord homicide and rebellion?

The mysterious servant beside him was clearly aware of the hidden danger. If Gilgamesh completely refused to cooperate, he would not be a helper, but a dagger that could stab him and others in the back at any time. So he slowly said:

"King of Heroes, our act of stealing your might is indeed shameful... but we also do this out of admiration for your strength and our need for your help. Furthermore... you, King of Heroes, wouldn't wish for Tōsaka Tokiomi's death, wouldn't you? We can be said to be resolving a problem for you, King of Heroes."

"Oh, then I'd like to hear it. Why do you think I want Tokiomi to die?" Gilgamesh snorted coldly. He could see through his thoughts, so at least he was not a fool. If the answer was good, he would spare him for now and keep him by his side as the next candidate for the master.

"It can be seen that you, King of Heroes, extremely detest being forced to do things under the command seals. And Tōsaka Tokiomi also did the same thing once before. Moreover, last night, Tōsaka Tokiomi was clearly representing your face, but he reconciled with the alien enemy and ignored the insult that you, King of Heroes, had just suffered from the Fallen True Ancestor. Shouldn't such a Master be killed?" said the mysterious Servant.

"Hahahaha... Hahahahaha. Okay, well said. Tokiomi, that idiot, really deserves to die." The mysterious Servant's words did satisfy Gilgamesh. He couldn't help but laugh out loud for a few times, then turned his cold eyes to the mysterious Servant again and said, "But Tokiomi is my subject after all. How he dies is my business! You disrupted my plans, killed my subject without permission, and even tried to use sophistry to exonerate yourself... How do you think I'll punish you?"

"That is why we are serving as your subjects, the Hero King, in place of Tōsaka Tokiomi. In this way, we are not killing your subjects out of selfish motives, but are sharing your worries and fulfilling the duties of a subject," said the mysterious servant.

"Replace Tōsaka Tokiomi and become my subject? Do you agree?" Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows.

"Of course you allowed it, otherwise why would you punish us? Aren't you treating us as your subjects?" The mysterious servant spoke eloquently.

"...Hahahahahaha!" After hearing the mysterious Servant's words, Gilgamesh was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard some interesting joke. After the laughter stopped, Gilgamesh continued:

"Good, very good. 'To punish us is to treat us as your subjects.' Because your words please me so much, I will forgive your disrespect."

"As for you..." Gilgamesh glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu and said coldly, "You should be thankful that your accomplices have temporarily calmed my anger. Don't think that just because you have so many Command Seals, I won't dare to do anything to you."

After saying this, Gilgamesh landed on the ground and said, "I don't care what you want to do, or how much power you need from me, but you'd better tell me clearly and honestly! Also, it's best if you do something that makes me happy."

The mysterious Servant exhaled, knowing that he had, for the time being, managed to keep Gilgamesh in check. As for why he possessed such eloquence, it was due to his inherent skill in sophistry, which he had more or less borrowed from his immediate superior's restraining power. Without this, he was afraid he would have to expend countless unjust Command Spells later.

"King, let's talk while we walk... The smell of blood is too strong here, it's not suitable for conversation." The mysterious Servant did not intend to waste too much time here. He just wanted to rush to Wang Chong as soon as possible, and then let Emiya Kiritsugu use the power of the Command Seal to immediately release the Sword of Separation to destroy Wang Chong.

"That's true." Gilgamesh turned and walked towards the main entrance with the mysterious Servant. Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya followed after a distance. Hisau Maiya pushed Kenneth's wheelchair while Emiya Kiritsugu sorted out the situation.

Not long after they left, a man dressed as a priest came into the room. He looked down at the dead Tōsaka Tokiomi and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Teacher... you are finally dead." The person who came was Kotomine Kirei who was teleported by Semiramis. He just waved his hand and several Hassans appeared beside him.

"Teacher, let your body make use of its remaining energy for the last time." Kotomine Kirei smiled strangely and asked Hassan to take Tōsaka Tokiomi's body away.

……

On the other side, Wang Chong listened to the information from Semiramis while slowly retracting the black fog.

"The time management master is truly amazing. I felt like I had been exercising all night, but judging from the information sent by Semiramis, only a dozen minutes had passed in the outside world." Wang Chong couldn't help but think.
