The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

First, the sound of several collisions erupted, and then several Noble Phantasms shot out like cannonballs, smashing directly into Little Medusa's path, creating a series of holes. The blast of air caused Little Medusa to lose her balance, but after a few somersaults, she managed to regain her balance.

"Hero King?" Diarmuid finally realized that Gilgamesh was the only one who could use such a brutal tone and attack. He hadn't expected that Gilgamesh would actually save him this time.

"It's time for those random cultivators jumping around everywhere to go back to where they belong." Sure enough, a golden figure appeared at the scene, and the iconic gate of the King's Treasure appeared behind Gilgamesh, and then it poured down like a hail of bullets towards the area where Little Medusa and Euryale were.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a series of explosions erupted, shattering the dust and stirring up a thick cloud of smoke. Diarmait's expression hardened as he faced the smoke ahead, wary of the enemy's ability to withstand Gilgamesh's bombardment and then use the smoke to launch a surprise attack.

However, after the smoke cleared, it was discovered that apart from many huge pits on the ground, there was no trace of Little Medusa and Euryale.

"Were they destroyed? Or did they escape?" Diarmait frowned and looked around, but he did not see Euryale and Little Medusa.

"Two mice, they ran away pretty fast." At this time, Gilgamesh glanced at the position where the Gorgon sisters had just been with great contempt and said to himself. After hearing Gilgamesh's words, Diarmait finally felt relieved, as it seemed that the enemy had been repelled.

"Thank you for your help, Hero King." Diarmait looked at Gilgamesh and bowed slightly.

"Thanks? Haha...hahaha, are you sure you want to thank me?" At this time, Gilgamesh's expression seemed very strange. He looked at Diarmait with a playful look, as if he was looking at a clown.

"Wha...what?" Diarmait didn't understand why Gilgamesh said that. But the next scene made him understand quickly.

"Ah!!" A tragic female scream suddenly rang out from behind Diarmait. Diarmait was shocked and immediately looked behind him. He saw Sora, whom he was supposed to protect, suddenly being strangled by an unknown Servant, with a gleaming dagger at Sora's neck.

"Mrs. Sora!"

The author says:

Author's words: First of all, I would like to thank the reader Pei Qiuyu for his 12 tickets for urging me to update. However, the author is really powerless today and cannot update 1 words. Because the goal has not been achieved, these 12 tickets will be automatically returned. QAQ I really haven't saved any manuscripts recently, and I have a very important event tomorrow, so I am really powerless. I can only guarantee the normal two-day update, and there is no way to increase the update. Please understand.

Chapter 263: Hero King, Why Are You Just Watching?

"Mrs. Sora! You—take your dirty hands off me!"

Diarmait had never imagined that someone could evade his perception, appear behind him, and capture Sora alive. Apparently, they had sneaked past him while he was focused on the smoke. Even so, only the Assassin, with his class's inherent aura-obscuring skill, could have managed to evade his detection and capture Sora.

Diarmuid, realizing this, naturally assumed the other party was the assassin who had appeared on the first night among the other Servants. He knew that the Masters of these normal Servants had already signed a contract, prohibiting them from harming each other tonight.

"You bastard alien servant, let go of Madam Sora if you have the guts!" Diarmait shouted angrily, and prepared to attack with his gun.

"Don't move! Lancer. Do you want her to die? And you! If you dare to move again, I can't guarantee that the knife won't cut your throat!" The servant said indifferently. The sharp blade had cut through a layer of skin, and warm blood was already flowing down. Sora, who was originally terrified, was so frightened that he dared not struggle or move at all.

"Lancer! Diarmait! Save me! Wuwu... I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Sora burst into tears.

"Damn it!" Diarmait heard Sora's cries and blamed himself for being so careless and failing to protect Sora. Diarmait pointed at the Servant who had kidnapped Sora and angrily said, "What do you want to do?"

"What to do... It's simple. We ask you to help kill someone. As long as you agree and complete it, we will release Sora." The Servant said slowly.

"Wait... 'we'?" Diarmuid immediately noticed the other party's choice of words.

"Yes, it's us." At this moment, another deep voice rang out, and three figures slowly emerged from the shadows. When Diarmuid saw who they were, his pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but cry out, "My Lord!"

Kenneth was found unconscious in a wheelchair, his life or death unknown. A pistol was pressed against his head, ready to shoot if Diarmuid saw anything wrong.

"Emiya Kiritsugu!!" Diarmait clenched his fists tightly. Seeing who was holding his master hostage, a flicker of hatred flashed in his eyes. It was him again. Not only had he harmed his master to this point, but now he was forcing him to go along with him, even at the cost of his life. This angered Diarmait even more than killing him.

"I'll only say this once, obey my orders, otherwise your lord and this Lady Sora will both die." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Diarmuid coldly, as if he was measuring whether a tool was useful.

"Follow your orders? If I follow your orders, will you release Madam Sora and my lord?" Diarmuid obviously did not believe what Kiritsugu Emiya said. They were threatening him now just because they thought he was useful. Once he fulfilled the conditions they required and lost his usefulness, he was afraid that they would kill him and Kenneth and the others immediately.

"You have no other choice, right?" Emiya Kiritsugu said coldly.

"...Emiya Kiritsugu, have you forgotten that I'm not the only one here? You can threaten my lord with me, but how can you threaten the King of Heroes?" Diarmait took a deep breath. In such a crisis, he was at a loss for words. Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on Gilgamesh, who also belonged to the normal Servant forces.

But after Diarmait finished speaking, the atmosphere fell strangely silent. For a moment, Diarmait sensed something was amiss. Gilgamesh had remained motionless from the beginning, as if he were watching a spectacle and hadn't made a move. But weren't the Alien Servant Gilgamesh's target? Why was Gilgamesh so indifferent?

And in front of him, whether it was Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya, or the mysterious Servant, they didn't react at all after he said that, as if they didn't worry at all that Gilgamesh might deal with them.

"Hero King?" Diarmait turned around and saw the face that had been so playful and full of joy. In that instant, a thunderclap exploded in Diarmait's heart.

“King of Heroes… why are you just watching? Are you really…” Diarmuid couldn’t believe the thought that was going through his mind.

"Tōsaka Tokiomi is dead." Emiya Kiritsugu said calmly.

"What..." Hearing these words, Diarmuid immediately understood the cause and effect of the whole thing. Tōsaka Tokiomi was already dead, but as Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant, Gilgamesh was not only still alive, but also had never dealt with Emiya Kiritsugu and the others from the beginning to the end. So the answer was obvious.

No wonder the assassin had so coincidentally found Sora and held her hostage right after Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm exploded. No wonder Gilgamesh had mocked me for thanking him...

"It's about time to end this boring farce. I was quite interested at first, but now I'm tired of these stupid faces." Gilgamesh looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and the others and said lightly.

"Diarmait, I'll ask you one last time. Either obey or die together." Emiya Kiritsugu said coldly.

"...What exactly do you want me to obey? You just said that you would let Lady Sora and the Lord go if you killed one person. Who is he?" Diarmait took a deep breath, stared at Kiritsugu Emiya, and asked.

"There is only one person we want to kill, and that is Wang Chong, who has the dual identities of Caster and Master." Emiya Kiritsugu said.

"Heh... Kill Mr. Wang Chong?" Diarmait laughed bitterly. Indeed, his entire life had been dominated by the choices of loyalty. Once, he had betrayed his lord for his beloved. Now, in his new life, Diarmait, filled with regret, wanted only to serve his lord to the bitter end, hoping to be faithful to him. This time, he was forced to betray his moral principles to fulfill his regret.

"Our Masters have signed a contract and cannot harm each other. If you want me to deal with him, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." This was the last compromise Diarmuid could make. He could join Kiritsugu Emiya's team, but he was unwilling to take action against his allies.

"It's okay. Of course I know about the contract you signed. What I want you to do is to use this rule as the best meat shield to tie their hands and feet and prevent them from attacking. When the time comes, the King of Heroes will be with him, and we can take care of them all together." Kiritsugu Emiya pointed at the mysterious Servant and Gilgamesh and said lightly.

Since Gilgamesh's original Master, Tōsaka Tokiomi, has died, the contract's binding force on Gilgamesh has been nullified. Gilgamesh can now attack any normal Master and Servant. Of course, others can also attack Gilgamesh in the same way.

In reality, Diarmait could also employ this method. By simply switching Masters, the existing binding would be invalidated, allowing Diarmait to harm Wang Chong and the others. However, firstly, Emiya Kiritsugu's magecraft skills were insufficient to support him contracting two Servants. Secondly, Diarmait would naturally be more effective with binding power than without it.

"Using... using me as a human shield... Emiya Kiritsugu, you... exactly... exactly are you going to insult me..."

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you despicable wretch, to what extent do you intend to insult Lancer!"

Just when Diarmait felt like his fists were about to bleed and he was roaring in shame to vent his emotions, a familiar female voice came from behind him.

"Saber?" Diarmait turned to look at the source of the voice. He saw not only Artoria, but also Wang Chong, Jeanne, Irisviel, and others, all coming out from the entrance.

Chapter 264: Complete Break

"Emiya Kiritsugu, how far do you want to go in insulting Lancer?"

Altria was truly disappointed. She had thought she had seen enough of her former Master's low point. But she had never expected, nor believed, that he could be so despicable!

As for why Wang Chong and others appeared here by such a coincidence, the story started more than ten minutes ago.

More than ten minutes ago, just after Wang Chong and the others left the room with the romantic connection, they quickly arrived at the next room. However, to their surprise, the room was actually a trap room that had already been defused.

"Repeated rooms? Looks like we're lucky. Maybe we'll run into other masters or servants ahead. And judging by the size of the wounds on these monsters... it should be Diarmait." Wang Chong said after checking the monsters' wounds.

"Diarmait? That's good. If we gather more people, we won't have to worry about being surrounded by those enemy servants." Artoria nodded and said.

"But that's not certain. After all, we just learned that every time a door opens, there's a chance of teleportation. There are two possible scenarios for the path we take. The first is that we're still being teleported by Semiramis, and the next room might be a trap. The second is that we continue to follow Diarmait's direction, and the rooms along the way are all cracked, allowing us to rendezvous faster."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he took the lead and ran towards the exit. The others hurriedly followed, not falling behind. Soon they arrived at the next room, which was also in a mess, with blood and traces of battle everywhere. Wang Chong examined the fallen monster corpse and confirmed the wounds. He nodded and said:

"Same traces. Still Diarmait... This proves one more thing. Semiramis's ability to teleport must be limited, such as time, or requiring a specific room to be used. Otherwise, she could have easily transferred us to another room and prevented us from reuniting with Diarmait and the others."

"If it's a time limit, does that mean that as long as we're fast enough, we can find Diarmait and successfully escape from this underground maze before she teleports us again?" Leticia reacted and said.

"That's right... In this case, we have to race against time to get to Diarmait and the others, to prevent ourselves from being teleported away again before we meet Diarmait." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he immediately rushed to the next location, and the others followed immediately.

After passing through several rooms, Wang Chong and his companions suddenly heard a voice coming from the front. And the owner of that voice was Diarmait.

"Why does it feel like they are arguing?" Artoria frowned as she heard the heated words coming from her.

"Let's move over slowly and see what's going on. Don't alarm the people ahead." Wang Chong stopped his hurried pace, stopped everyone, and then slowly moved towards the source of the sound.

Soon, when they successfully reached the entrance of the room, they saw the scene of Kiritsugu Emiya threatening Diarmait.

"How could this be...!" After seeing and hearing clearly what happened, Artoria said with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"..." After seeing Emiya Kiritsugu once again, Irisviel's heart remained calm. She knew Kiritsugu well, and was well aware of his unscrupulous nature. She had previously been able to tolerate all of this, not only out of deep love for him, but also because she believed that Emiya Kiritsugu could achieve his ideal of saving the world. Even if it was ugly, she would continue to support him.

But now, the burning passion in her heart has vanished, and the so-called ideal of saving all mankind is nothing but a castle in the air and arrogance. Therefore, the fact that Irisviel does not feel disgusted after seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's "despicable" behavior is enough to consider their past friendship.

"There is only one person we want to kill, and that is the man with the dual identities of Caster and Master - Wang Chong." At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice came again.

Hearing this, the three women all looked at Wang Chong, the person involved. But Wang Chong simply shrugged and said, "It's okay. Isn't it good to know their next target?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu wants to target Mr. Wang Chong... I'm afraid it's because Mr. Wang Chong has repeatedly disrupted his plans. So he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible." Artoria said.

"It could also be because Mr. Wang Chong possesses a Noble Phantasm that can break the contract. After all, Mr. Wang Chong successfully terminated Saber's Command Seals and even transferred the contract to Mrs. Irisviel." Leticia thought for a moment and added.

"No matter what... we will stop him." Irisviel also took a deep breath and stood firmly on Wang Chong's side.

"The focus now should not be on me, but on Diarmait... We must rescue the hostage, otherwise Diarmait will always be controlled by Kiritsugu Emiya and the others." Wang Chong looked at the distance to the target, but unfortunately, the distance was too far and the sneak attack could not succeed.

"No, whether it's Kenneth or Sora, they are too far away from the entrance. We can't sneak over to rescue them. And I don't know if it's my illusion, but Gilgamesh seemed to look in our direction several times just now. I'm afraid we have been discovered by the other party." After analyzing the situation, Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"In that case... I just can't bear it anymore. Let's go together, Ellie, Leticia, Mr. Wang Chong." Artoria drew her holy sword first and rushed out without saying a word.

"Let's go, Leticia. Remember not to reveal any flaws. Let Jeanne recuperate for a while. That way, she can recover more quickly." Wang Chong warned.

……

And now, Artoria and her group, who witnessed the evil deeds of Emiya Kiritsugu and others, stood up and blocked the entrance to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Saber... Eri, are you here to stop me too?" Seeing his former lover now standing in front of him with her former servant, even though Kiritsugu Emiya had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a pain in his heart.

"Are you disappointed by my actions and methods, Elly?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Irisviel, wanting to hear the answer in person.

"Methods and methods are just one point... Emiya Kiritsugu. My disappointment in you cannot be fully expressed in a single sentence. Including your ideals... I no longer believe that your ideals can be realized." Irisviel said seriously. This was the conclusion she had reached based on what she had seen and heard over the past few days, and based on her own feelings and thoughts. The principle of salvation should never be defined by an individual, nor measured by individual values.

"Emiya Kiritsugu... I have also heard about your ideals and ambitions from Eri. To be honest, I can't believe that such ambitions would be the work of someone who would do such despicable things." Artoria also said coldly at this moment.

"But, precisely because of this, you've driven yourself to such extremes, driven by such delusion. You're willing to sacrifice anything for the ultimate outcome. But wishes are a reflection of the heart. Your mental vision of saving everyone has long been distorted by your paranoia and despicable actions."

"Even if you win this Holy Grail War, the wish you make will not only fail to save humanity, but will instead bring unforeseen disasters to humanity. This is not only my opinion, but also Airi's! Therefore, Airi and I will stop you! We will never let you become the victor of this Holy Grail War."

Hearing Altria's answer, Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned. He had originally thought that it was because of his own methods, coupled with the fact that he had been plotted against, that Irisviel had lost trust in him.

But Emiya Kiritsugu hadn't anticipated that Irisviel had fundamentally denied herself. She had denied her own ideals, her own aspirations. She believed the path she had chosen was wrong, that it would not only fail to save humanity but would bring disaster to everyone.

In the former case, Emiya Kiritsugu simply believed that Irisviel had been deceived, and that there was still a chance to salvage everything. In the latter case, Emiya Kiritsugu knew that Irisviel was no longer his comrade; she had completely changed and would never recognize him.

"So that's it... Is this the truth?" Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes. He knew that this time, the answer meant they had truly parted ways. Those with different philosophies couldn't work together. From this moment on, Irisviel would completely become the obstacle blocking his path.

This also meant...Emiya Kiritsugu needed to personally eliminate Irisviel. To save all of humanity, Emiya Kiritsugu would mercilessly kill anyone who stood in his way, even if it was his once beloved wife.

Chapter 265 I'm telling the truth

After the conversation, both sides fell into a brief silence. But silence did not mean that the two sides would give up, and the atmosphere would only become more intense.

The one who broke the silence was none other than Wang Chong. He looked at Gilgamesh and said, "King of Heroes... I heard that Tōsaka Tokiomi is dead, and judging by their current relationship, you've become Emiya Kiritsugu's Servant? Since when did you, King of Heroes, become so unselective?"

"Haha, Faker. You don't need to worry about my affairs. I just want to see how long you can keep up the show." Gilgamesh, facing Wang Chong's implicit words, for once did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Wang Chong with interest.

"What do you mean?" Wang Chong frowned.

"What I mean is, stop pretending. The real master of Semiramis is Wang Chong." At this time, the mysterious servant who had been holding the knife on Sora's neck suddenly threw out a shocking news and put it in front of everyone.

For a moment, even Diarmait, who had always been concerned about his master's condition, could not help but look at Wang Chong with an expression of disbelief. Not to mention the three women surrounding Wang Chong.

"What? Mr. Wang Chong is Semiramis's Master... How is that even possible?" Artoria was startled at first, then looked at him with disbelief. She pointed her sword at the mysterious Servant and shouted angrily, "What nonsense! If Mr. Wang Chong is Semiramis's Master, then he just... You bastards, aren't you satisfied with just insulting Diarmait? Are you going to insult me ​​too? Everyone knows you're throwing dirty water on Mr. Wang Chong."

For a moment, everyone except Leticia and Irisviel was confused. They understood that the insults were directed at Wang Chong, but how could they inexplicably link it to insulting Artoria?

However, the others were completely unaware of what had recently transpired between Altria, Leticia, and Irisviel. In the eyes of Altria and the others, if Wang Chong was truly Semiramis's Master, then what were they? Were they just idiots counting money after being sold?

"What if I can prove that Semiramis's Master is Wang Chong?" The mysterious Servant said, then looked at Leticia and said, "Ruler, don't forget your true mission in this world. Have you truly forgotten who you need to punish?"

"Huh?" Leticia was a little confused. Why did this suddenly happen to her?

However, the mysterious servant frowned when he saw Leticia's expression. Why did Joan of Arc look a little strange today?

"I want to see what kind of proof you can produce." Altria took two steps forward and said, "If you can't produce anything decent, I will let you know the consequences of insulting me and my friends later!"

"..." The mysterious servant was also speechless. He had no idea what was wrong with the Knight King today. He hadn't mentioned her at all. If you said that he insulted her companions, then that was indeed true. But if you said that he insulted the Knight King... Which sentence of his had insulted the Knight King?

"No need to prove it." But suddenly, Wang Chong shook his head and walked forward. For a moment, everyone was wondering what Wang Chong was going to do. Even Gilgamesh, who had already lost interest, couldn't help but glance over, wanting to see what kind of explanation Wang Chong would give.

However, the shock caused by Wang Chong's next words far exceeded the shock caused by the previous revelation that could prove that Wang Chong was the Master of Semiramis.

"I am indeed the Master of Semiramis." Wang Chong simply spread his hands and said.

At that moment, not only Artoria and the others, but even Emiya Kiritsugu and the mysterious Servant were stunned by Wang Chong's self-destruction. It was like the prophet in Werewolf who finally found a check card and was eager to pull out the wolf with a fierce move. But before they could even make a move, the other party exploded.

Only Gilgamesh's mouth curved even more, and he turned his whole body towards Wang Chong, admiring the following

"Wang Chong...Sir, is what you said true?" Artoria, Irisviel, and Leticia all looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yes, absolutely true." Wang Chong turned around, facing away from Emiya Kiritsugu and the others, and continued, "Actually, Artoria, Jeanne, Irisviel. I still have a lot to confess."

"Wait...what do you mean?" Altria couldn't help but ask.

"In fact, I am also the Master of the two Gorgon sisters, Black Jeanne, Atalanta, Mordred and other unusual servants who have appeared before." Wang Chong said seriously.
