The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

As Wang Chong spoke, he began to use the power of the black mist to envelop Sora. During the time they had just been talking, they had been resting and trying to see if they could wait for Sora to wake up.

Unfortunately, Sora seemed to be too frightened to wake up. Wang Chong had no choice but to use the power of the black mist to lead Sora and the others to the next room.

Not long into their journey, they came across a wheelchair lying sideways and a body in a pool of blood as they walked along the passage to the next room. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was indeed Kenneth.

Seeing Kenneth's bloodshot eyes wide open, the hole in his forehead clearly the fatal blow. Such a sight of him dying with his eyes wide open made Leticia and Irisviel, who hadn't seen much gore, almost vomit.

Wang Chong immediately enveloped Kenneth in black mist, cleansed the blood, and closed his eyes. Kenneth's death seemed destined for the Type-Moon World, and Wang Chong had no interest in forcing it to change. He only targeted those he found interesting.

"I'll take Kenneth's body with me. It would be too tragic for him to die violently here. After that, give his body to Sora when he wakes up, and let him take it back. Let Kenneth's family handle their family affairs." Wang Chong said slowly.

No one objected. Wang Chong used the black mist to carry Sora and Kenneth to the next room. However, when they arrived, they found that Kiritsugu Emiya and the others were nowhere to be found. Instead, they saw only numerous demonic beast corpses on the ground.

"Wait... what is this trace?" Wang Chong frowned and walked towards the monster corpse on the ground.

Chapter 269: Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu

"Wait... what is this trace?" Wang Chong frowned and walked towards the monster corpse on the ground.

The Warcraft corpse had many burn marks on it, many of which were in the shape of lightning. The ground nearby was covered with wheel marks, indicating that a chariot had once passed through here.

Well, the answer is very obvious. It goes without saying that the guy who caused the death of these monsters is Iskandar.

"The King of Conquerors actually appears in this room? But didn't we come here chasing after Kiritsugu Emiya and the others?" Artoria also saw the clue at a glance and couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that... the King of Conquerors has already confronted Emiya Kiritsugu and the others?" Leticia couldn't help but worry.

"No, there are no other signs of battle here...it's just that the Conqueror King has an inherent barrier. Perhaps the battle has already begun in a place we don't know about." Wang Chong frowned and said.

"So what should we do now? Should we continue moving forward or stay here?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

"... Let's hurry on. The King of Conquerors and the others are still ahead. If we chase them now, we might be able to reach the scene and stop them before they attack the King of Conquerors and Waver." Wang Chong acted decisively, and without further ado, he immediately headed for the next location. The others, realizing the urgency of the situation, gave chase without hesitation.

However, after more than ten minutes, Wang Chong and others returned to the room.

"Turns out the next room is a trap room that has never been cracked... But since we can still return to the original room, does that mean it wasn't us who were teleported away, but Emiya Kiritsugu and the others who were successfully transferred away?" Wang Chong shook his head and sighed.

"It's not surprising. It seems that they don't want to meet us, so they teleported away and hid somewhere else. But it's also possible that they went through the back door and didn't trigger those trap rooms, so they left as soon as possible." Artoria said.

"However, there is also the worst possibility, which is that Emiya Kiritsugu and the others have been dragged into the inherent barrier by the King of Conquerors. In this case, it will be a one-on-one duel between the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors." Leticia couldn't help but say.

"Mr. Wang Chong, Saber, come and take a look. The burn marks here seem a little different." At this moment, Irisviel, who had been carefully observing her surroundings, pointed to a monster corpse on the ground that was almost burned into coal and said.

"This burn mark... doesn't look like the burn mark caused by a lightning strike. It's more like pure flames burned it into carbon. Among our group of servants, it seems that no servant uses fire." Leticia asked.

"Of course, none of us have one... but the other side has such a Servant. You, Leticia, should also be deeply impressed." Wang Chong said.

"! Another black Joan of Arc." Leticia remembered the woman who stood on the dragon's back, laughed wildly, and waved flames. She was a completely different person from the Joan of Arc who possessed her.

"It seems that the King of Conquerors did not encounter the King of Heroes and his companions. This is because he had already activated his Noble Phantasm and was fighting against the alien Servant Black Jeanne d'Arc." Wang Chong explained.

"Then what should we do? Can we just watch here?" Leticia asked.

"There's no way to get inside the inherent barrier. We can only wait here for the outcome. The good news is that the King of Conquerors and Black Jeanne d'Arc have been in a tie all along. Even if Black Jeanne d'Arc has some trump card up her sleeve and successfully breaks the barrier, the King of Conquerors won't necessarily die. With us here, even if the King of Conquerors loses, we can still rescue him in time." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he found a place to sit down and rest for a while.

"Let's conserve our energy first. We might have to fight with other servants later, so we have to quickly adjust our bodies to the best condition." Wang Chong said with his eyes closed.

……

Elsewhere, Emiya Kiritsugu was teleported shortly after escaping and re-entered a new room. After dealing with the strange beast in the room, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at a certain white-haired man and said, "We're completely safe now. Don't you have anything to explain?"

The white-haired man had his back to Emiya Kiritsugu, and after a long moment of reflection, he finally turned around. Although his face was half covered, his expression was strikingly similar to Emiya Kiritsugu's.

"What's the point of you still covering up half of your face? I have already seen your full appearance. What on earth is this? Why... why did I become a Servant?! Why did you respond to the Holy Grail and come here! And for what purpose did you approach me!" Emiya Kiritsugu asked coldly.

That's right, the gloomy, white-haired man before him was the mysterious Servant from before. He had been struck by Altria's Wind King Hammer, causing his cloak and the many bandages wrapped around his face to be completely blown away, revealing a face that was identical to Emiya Kiritsugu's.

He was none other than the Heroic Spirit Emiya Kiritsugu, the Servant sent out by the Suppressive Force this time, specifically to kill Wang Chong.

"That's why I've been wearing a mask. It's because I know full well that you'll inevitably harbor unnecessary doubts about my identity," the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu said coldly. "As for my purpose, I've stated it many times from the beginning. I'm here solely to kill Wang Chong. Whether the Holy Grail War ends or not, or even if you live or die, I don't care."

"I am you, but not entirely you. You should also be very clear about what a Heroic Spirit or Servant is. In short, in a certain world line of Emiya Kiritsugu, due to some special reasons, he eventually became a Servant. There is no absolute connection between you and me. In other words, your future does not necessarily mean becoming me. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Believe it or not. Since you already know who I am, you should also know that to achieve a certain goal, I will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in my way. Even you! You should be thankful that you are standing on the opposite side of that guy named Wang Chong."

After Kiritsugu finished speaking, he found a spot to rest and recuperate. Although they had a contract with Gilgamesh, he had no intention of engaging in actions like killing demonic beasts, leaving them to their own devices. Therefore, after a battle, Kiritsugu needed time to recover. After all, he had no Master and insufficient magical power. He had to be self-sufficient.

"..." After hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu understood what he meant. As he had said, he was the one who knew him best. Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu knew that when he said his goal was to kill Wang Chong, he was probably not lying. However, as for his claim that he didn't care about the Holy Grail War, he was afraid he couldn't believe it completely. After all, this was his goal, and he couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake.

"I originally thought that Wang Chong was the only one against Faker. I didn't expect that I also had you two young devils under my command. Ha, you really provide me with interesting entertainment." Gilgamesh looked at the two sides staring at each other, and became even more contemptuous in his heart.

Gilgamesh knew exactly what that Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu was—a dog of restraint. It could be said he wasn't even a ghost, a mere tool of restraint. Gilgamesh wouldn't even bother to look at such a fool.

Chapter 270: Harvesting Kenneth's Legacy

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for being the mastermind behind the scenes and successfully eliminating a Master from the Holy Grail War. You successfully used Emiya Kiritsugu's sword to eliminate your opponent. Therefore, you are awarded 2000 Villain Points, all of Kayneth's magical knowledge and theories, the Magical Equipment Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, the Three-Based Magic Furnace, Kayneth's Magic Circuits, and Magic Seals. Current Villain Points: 5650."

"Ding—Because you allowed Kayneth to die peacefully, complying with the Inhibition's intentions, the Inhibition's restraint on you has been reduced to a certain extent, and you have gained a certain amount of world luck. Because you protected Sora's life and changed his fate, you have been awarded 200 Villain Points. Current Villain Points: 5850."

"System reminder: Your current Luck value has become the highest among all Masters in Fuyuki City. In addition, due to the large amount of knowledge in magic possessed by Kenneth, it will be gradually absorbed into the host's consciousness in batches to avoid any mental shock."

While waiting for Iskandar, Wang Chong happened to check the system's notifications. He had gained quite a bit, practically inheriting Kenneth's entire legacy. After experiencing the quality of Kenneth's magic circuits, Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being the Archibald family's ninth-generation magic circuit." It's no wonder Kenneth was considered a magical genius.

As for Magic Circuits, Wang Chong has the most of any person I've ever met. Well, that "most" excludes Illya, as she was taken away by him and didn't undergo any transformation. If the original plot were to follow, Illya would definitely have the most Magic Circuits.

The quality is also of an excellent level. According to Type-Moon's unique rating rules, Kenneth's magic circuit quantity is: A+ level, and the quality is: A+ level (explosive).

At least conservatively speaking, with Kayneth's level, supporting the magic supply of two servants is no problem at all. In a way, Kayneth really played a good hand badly.

A first-rate magus, a third-rate Master—this was perhaps the most pertinent assessment of Kayneth. Wang Chong's inheritance of this legacy gave him a deeper understanding of the Type-Moon world system, and he finally no longer needed to constantly rely on the Greater Holy Grail for support.

As for the Magic Seal... Wang Chong felt that he didn't need it. He needed the Magic Circuit not only to make it convenient to use the power of this world in this world and not to arouse suspicion, but also to provide magic to support the Heroic Spirit.

After all, I rarely use Type-Moon magic. Type-Moon magic is nowhere near as effective as my own body and the power of destruction (laughs). Still, it would be nice to be able to pass it on to other children with magical talent.

Finally, regarding luck, this was rare good news. If my luck value was already the highest among all the masters, it meant that my luck had surpassed Emiya Kiritsugu. Therefore, if I killed Emiya Kiritsugu, not only would there be no more obstacles, but on the contrary, it would actually help me, achieving unexpectedly good results.

Furthermore, the restraint on him had also weakened. Although it wouldn't force the people he had arranged to leave, it at least meant that the restraint would no longer intervene and stop him.

"Om-"

At this moment, a slight ripple formed throughout the space. With Wang Chong's dual perception of Intuition A and Spider Sense, he could naturally sense this spatial fluctuation. In an instant, Wang Chong stood up from his meditation and immediately said, "The barrier is about to open! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Upon hearing Wang Chong's voice, Artoria, who had been sitting upright, also stood up, gripping her holy sword tightly and aiming at the target in the center. Irisviel and Leticia retreated with the still unconscious Sora, leaving Kayneth's body untouched.

Not long after, a white light shone from the center of the space, and soon, a chariot emerged from it. Looking closely, everyone saw that Iskandar's face was covered in blood, and his robes had many burn marks.

"You are worthy of being the King of Conquerors who can conquer vast lands. If it weren't for those legions of demon beasts to consume your strength, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to gain any advantage over you even with my own anti-military treasures. Hahahaha... but unfortunately, you still lost, defeated by me and my legion." A loud laugh echoed in the room. Without even thinking about it, he knew that it was his good wife Jeanne d'Arc.

Wang Chong smiled faintly and then returned to his acting mode. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, King Conqueror! We're here to support you!"

With that, Wang Chong, enveloped in a thick black mist, rushed toward the fading white light. The sound of metal clashing echoed, and after the light faded, Wang Chong's Ruined King's Blade collided with the tip of Black Jeanne's spear. In terms of strength, Wang Chong could even outmatch Uncle B, let alone Black Jeanne. Soon, a powerful blow sent Black Jeanne repelling.

"Oh! King of Ruined, I didn't expect you to be here too. Hahahahaha, it seems like it's not time for me to retreat yet. Boy, we successfully held on until the reinforcements arrived." Iskandar laughed out loud after seeing Wang Chong take action.

"...I really didn't expect that the reinforcements would actually show up. It's great, I feel like my legs have lost all feeling. For a moment, I really thought I was going to die here." Weber was also in a miserable state at this moment. The blood on his face made it impossible for him to open one of his eyes.

"Tsk—it couldn't have come earlier or later, but it just happened to arrive when I was about to win. What on earth did Semiramis do, letting so many people in?" At this time, Jeanne d'Arc put on an unhappy look, looking around at everyone in the room. After seeing Artoria and a face that she hated very much, Jeanne d'Arc sneered and continued:

"Alright, even if you all come at me, I'm not afraid. I'm Jeanne d'Arc, the Avenger. My flames will burn all the enemies before me to ashes! Feel my wrath! 'Roar, my wrath'! !"

Black Jeanne d'Arc activated her Noble Phantasm immediately, and countless red flames began to rise. Moreover, this move had a very wide coverage, covering almost everyone in the room.

Naturally, this included Irisviel and the other three. Sensing the threat of the incoming attack, Jeanne, still resting deep within Letitia's consciousness, instantly reappeared online, taking control of Letitia's body. Then, she immediately shouted, "I offer my prayers. Please protect my friends, my companions. Luminosite Eternelle (My Lord is Here)!"

The protective barrier unfolded, enveloping Irisviel and the others, including Kenneth's body lying on the ground. The flames that subsequently rose were completely blocked by Jeanne's Noble Phantasm.

"Black Jeanne, surrender! Ruined King's Sword!"

"Wind King Hammer!"

Wang Chong and Altria were seen simultaneously resisting Black Jeanne's Noble Phantasm. As long as they could survive this round, it would be their turn to counterattack.

"Black Jeanne, retreat. It's too difficult for you to face the four of them now." At this time, Semiramis's voice was heard in the room.

"Heh! If it weren't for your mistake in arrangement, how could it have come to this. Humph, you can be considered to have saved your lives again this time. Especially you, the Saint who likes to hide in your shell." After Black Joan of Arc finished speaking, a light appeared on her body.

"Oh no! She's going to be teleported away." Wang Chong warned. Unfortunately, everyone present was unable to get close to Black Jeanne d'Arc due to the effect of the Noble Phantasm released by her. In the end, they could only watch as Black Jeanne d'Arc was teleported away by the power of space teleportation.

As soon as Black Jeanne left, the effect of her Noble Phantasm naturally lost its effect. For a moment, the battle came to an abrupt end.

"He actually ran away... What a pity. I was thinking that this time we could finally decide the winner. This method of space teleportation is really shameless." Iskandar felt a little regretful after seeing the other party leave. He had finally achieved a reversal due to his persistence, but the other party just patted his butt and left.

"It's the best outcome for you all to be safe... For us now, more strength means more assurance." Wang Chong said after retracting his weapon.

"Hmm? What happened, King of Ruined King? From your tone, it seems like something bad has happened." Iskandar heard the hidden meaning in Wang Chong's words and asked.

"Well, actually..." Wang Chong began to tell the Iskandar group what had just happened and the information they already knew.

Chapter 271: Decapitation Operation, Victory over the Fewer with More

"What did you say?! Teacher Kenneth... he actually! But didn't he even participate in this war? Why would he..."

After hearing Wang Chong's news, Weber's face was filled with disbelief. Although Weber had previously been unhappy with Kenneth's insults, he had been more motivated by a desire to prove himself to Kenneth. Now, the news of Kenneth's death had directly impacted Weber's heart.

"Kayneth's body is right there... As for why Kayneth is here, I suspect that Emiya Kiritsugu and his men were not on the island from the beginning. Instead, they raided Kayneth, who was alone and disabled and could no longer perform magic. After all, it was Kayneth, not Sora, who signed the contract with Diarmait." Wang Chong pointed to the body on the floor behind him and said.

Waver quickly dismounted from the chariot and ran to Kayneth's body. Seeing Kayneth's wild imagination, Waver couldn't help but cover his mouth, a sense of inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart. Who could have imagined that Kayneth, who had berated and insulted him not long ago, would die in such a miserable state?

"It's too much... It's really too much. Although I know that there is a high possibility of losing one's life in the Holy Grail War, it is too tragic for Teacher Kenneth to die in such a conspiracy." Waver put down his hand and closed his eyes.

"Weber, since you know Kenneth, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to help collect his body. Then wait for the people from the El-Melloi family to come and take him away." Wang Chong said.

"Eh, me?" Weber pointed at himself and said a little unconfidently.

"Well, there is no other choice except you. Sora... everyone can see that her mind is not on her fiancé Kenneth at all. If we can return victorious today, this matter will have to be left to you to handle." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Can we really win? The head of the Tōsaka family is dead, the King of Heroes has fallen into the hands of an alien Servant, and Diarmait is dead... So, the enemy has nine Servants, and we only have Rider, Saber, Mr. Wang Chong, Assassin, Berserker, and Miss Jeanne left. Six against nine, the chances of winning are slim no matter how you look at it... Especially since we are fighting on their home turf."

The more Weber spoke, the less confident he became. He felt that he and his companions were about to be defeated by the other party.

"Hey, kid, the outcome isn't decided yet, don't give up just yet." Iskandar patted Waver on the back as an encouragement. "We were already in a desperate situation of defeat. My soldiers were all wiped out, and the barrier couldn't hold up any longer. But aren't we still alive? No one can declare defeat until the very end."

"Hmm... that's true. Maybe it was the teacher's death that hit me hard. Sorry, Rider." Waver let out a sigh. After escaping life and death several times, Waver's mentality has improved significantly.

"As long as you can recover... So, what are your plans now? The Ruined King, the Knight King, and Jeanne d'Arc." Iskandar looked at Wang Chong, Altria, and Jeanne d'Arc and asked.

"Wait a minute, let me block the opponent's monitoring... Okay, first of all, the opponent has a strong home advantage. Once they use the power of space to separate us again, we will eventually be defeated one by one. Therefore, we must stick together now. This is the first point." After Wang Chong released the black mist to cover everyone, he began to speak to everyone.

"And the second point is to get to the surface as soon as possible. According to the pattern I discovered earlier, as long as we break through enough rooms before the other party teleports us, we can leave here quickly."

"Finally, the third point is that after reaching the surface, we must immediately gather all our forces to break through Semiramis's core area. Right now, there are many enemies and few of us. Even if we gather everyone together to fight them all, our chances of victory are slim. Especially now, it's very likely that other Servants are being attacked by those alien Servants. Their lives and the outcome are uncertain."

"In that case, why don't we form a team and become a sharp blade? While those alien servants are separated and are still besieging Assassin and Berserker, we can directly raid Semiramis's lair. As long as we can eliminate Semiramis and make them lose their home advantage, we will have a chance of winning this battle."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he began to signal others to express their suggestions.

"...Well, that's certainly a correct analysis. At least they're splitting up two or even three Servants to deal with Assassin and Berserker. So it's very likely a four-on-six situation. Then I'll use my Noble Phantasm to see if I can trap most of them, leaving Semiramis for you... If you can deal with Semiramis and then come help me, then we might have a chance of winning."

At this time, Iskandar also added some good suggestions, leveraging the advantages of his inherent barrier to reverse the original situation of few versus many into many versus few.

"It seems that the Conqueror King understands what I mean. This is just like a legionary battle. When we have fewer people than the enemy, we must try our best to play to our strengths. Although we are outnumbered at a macro level, we can create a situation of many against few at a micro level." Wang Chong said.

"Indeed, now that we are clearly inferior to our opponents in strength, this is the only method we can choose. But... for Hassan, Lancelot and their masters, this may be..." Artoria also nodded, but still said with some reluctance.

"It's either a complete loss or a chance of winning. We have no other choice, Saber," Wang Chong said.

"Okay. That's it." At this critical moment of life and death, Artoria didn't continue to be sentimental. She just felt a little sorry for the two, especially Lancelot.

"Alright! Cheer up! Let's head forward together! Victory belongs to us, hahahaha!" Iskandar laughed heartily, not looking like someone who had just suffered a defeat. Perhaps it was this kind of charisma that had captivated so many heroes throughout history.

"However, King of Conquerors, I still want to remind you of one thing. If you want to put someone in it, don't put Gilgamesh in it." At this time, Joan of Arc suddenly reminded.

"Huh? Why is that?" Iskandar asked in confusion.

"Please forgive me for not being able to reveal the specific reasons... but please remember that only in this way can we have a chance of victory." Jeanne d'Arc was ultimately unable to reveal Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm due to her class and could only express it in this obscure way.

"I see. I understand. I'll do as you say." However, a person like Iskandar immediately heard the hidden meaning in Joan of Arc's words. He immediately realized that Gilgamesh might have the means to directly break his inherent barrier.

"Also, of the nine servants... counting Gilgamesh who just rebelled, we have already seen seven of them... Now the only one left is the Alien Rider Servant. It's a pity that we haven't seen it, so we don't have any information about it. I'm worried that it might become an important trump card of the opponent, otherwise why hasn't it appeared yet?" Jeanne said with some worry.

"Even so, we have no other choice. We just need to be careful of the other party. Are there any other questions? If not, let's take action immediately. Time waits for no one. We must break through the underground palace immediately." Wang Chong said immediately.

Seeing everyone nod, Wang Chong immediately removed the black fog, and the group immediately headed towards the next room.

"Everyone, get ready. We're about to enter the final stage... Semiramis, go let Emiya Kiritsugu and the others experience our light cannon team." When no one noticed, Wang Chong quietly contacted through the black mist.

Chapter 272: King Oddball vs. Gilgamesh

"Really? It's really noisy outside..." In a room deep in the castle, Aozaki Touko kept using magic, designing a new body for Irisviel according to Wang Chong's requirements.
