The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Pay." Wang Chong didn't care about it anymore. He could afford 2000 villain points now.

"Okay, loading, your current villain points remaining are: 3850 points. Host, you can continue now." said the system.

Wang Chong stretched out his hand, and saw a dimensional symbol appear in his vision. Then Wang Chong began to select the target he needed to choose. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky garden disappeared from Wang Chong's sight.

At the same time, his servants and even everyone living in the Hanging Gardens disappeared. The only people left in the entire area were Iskandar, the people on his chariot, and Gilgamesh, who was wielding the sword Ea.

"The Dimensional House is more spacious than I thought." Wang Chong couldn't help but say as he looked at the floating sky garden in a certain picture.

"That's a natural outcome. You have to know that the original price of the Dimension House is 10000 Villain Points. If you even worry about the size of the space, not only the host, but even the system will look down on this product."

After the system finished speaking, it paused and added: "Host, the loading is complete."

The system had barely finished speaking when, in the next second, the entire space returned to its original state. Not only did the Sky Garden reappear before its eyes, but even the previously damaged areas were perfectly restored.

And all the servants who had fled in all directions also reappeared. At first glance, there was no difference between them and before.

Seeing this, Wang Chong couldn't help but say, "It looks quite good. These 2000 points are worth spending."

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. When we start moving later, that will be the real test of your skills. Host, please leave quickly. This space is becoming unstable." The system reminded.

"OK, let me keep some distance, then turn invisible and see what happens next." I have never used the invisibility skill I drew, and the first time I used it was to peek.

Well, invisibility combined with peeping is a pretty orthodox usage.

"Then, let time begin to flow." Wang Chong not only distanced himself, but also moved himself to the area behind Gilgamesh to ensure that he would never be attacked by the Sword of Separation.

The golden filter disappeared, and then a terrifying aura appeared instantly, and the surroundings were filled with broken scenes and black and red strong winds.

Gilgamesh swung his sword of rebellion at everything in front of him. A dark red gale shattered the Hanging Gardens into massive fragments. The scattered Servants were devoured by the fierce gale, their bodies transformed into tiny fragments, dissipating completely like spirit particles.

Gilgamesh paused his attack only after seeing everything before him completely destroyed by the Sword of Separation. He stared blankly at the scene of his destruction. Perhaps this was the true basis for his view of others as mere ants. Under his Sword of Separation, all were equal, as fragile as the grass and ants.

Wang Chong, watching all this from behind Gilgamesh, couldn't help but inwardly exclaim, "Impressive!" The system's special effects were truly remarkable. Not only Gilgamesh, but even Wang Chong himself, it looked as if the Hanging Gardens had been truly destroyed. Especially the dematerialization of the Servants after their destruction—tsk, tsk, it was completely realistic.

Wang Chong turned his gaze towards Iskandar. He had actually tampered with Iskandar's car, injecting some black mist into it. If Gilgamesh wanted to eliminate Iskandar and the others, his black energy would temporarily resist the destructive attack of the Sword of Separation, helping Iskandar escape Gilgamesh's attack range.

Fortunately, neither Gilgamesh nor Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to prevent Iskandar and the people on the cart from getting into trouble, so they both had a plan in reserve. Therefore, Iskandar successfully steered the cart and dodged Gilgamesh's attack with the sword of discord.

But, in the car, Irisviel stared blankly at everything in the sky. Gone, all gone. The Servants, the Sky Gardens, all destroyed by the destructive gale.

"Saber's connection... is completely cut off... Could it be that Saber has also... Mr. Wang Chong, Jeanne d'Arc. Could it be that they have all been..." Irisviel couldn't help but cover her mouth, her heart filled with panic and sadness.

"No... it's impossible, right? A Noble Phantasm like this is already completely out of specification (Ex) level. How did we win? Hey, Rider, were all the people destroyed by Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm?" Waver also looked at all this in disbelief, then looked at Iskandar and asked.

"...Ha, that Hero King has truly pulled out something truly remarkable." Iskandar, his heart sinking, said these words as he attempted to continue pulling the cart downwards. He noticed Gilgamesh didn't seem to be pursuing him, apparently intending to give him a chance to recover before a true showdown between kings tomorrow night.

"Wait...that's it!" Suddenly, Alice's eyes widened. She saw a tattered hat unexpectedly floating towards her under the strong wind from high altitude.

After hearing this, Iskandar considerately drove his ox cart closer to the hat that was floating towards him. He then grabbed it and handed it to Irisviel, saying, "Master Saber, are you familiar with this?"

"How could this happen?" Irisviel held the tattered hat in trembling hands. It still smelled strongly of blood. It was as if she had just experienced a tragedy.

"Illya... This is Illya's hat." Waver and Iskandar fell silent as they spoke. They could smell the strong scent of blood. They had heard that Irisviel's daughter, Illya, was most likely in the Hanging Gardens. Now, under Kiritsugu Emiya's Command Seal, Gilgamesh had completely destroyed the Sky Island. Combined with the lingering scent of blood on the tattered hat, Illya's fate was self-evident.

"Gilgamesh destroyed almost everything, so why did he leave behind this one thing? Isn't God deliberately trying to provoke this lady?" Waver couldn't help but worry about Irisviel, wondering if she could bear the truth.

"Illya... Illya!!" However, the opposite happened. It was obvious that the truth carried by the flying hat became the last straw that broke Irisviel's will... Oh no, it is obviously not correct to describe it as a straw. It was like throwing a huge rock directly, completely shattering Irisviel's heart.

"Why...why is this happening? Mr. Wang Chong is dead...Illya is dead too...I am all alone. Illya! Saber! Mr. Wang Chong! Please, don't leave me!"

Irisviel cried out, unable to bear the weight of this truth. She had tried so hard to change everything, but in the end, things only got worse.

However, crying was of no use, as everything had been settled with the destruction of the "Hanging Gardens".

"Why... Why is Emiya Kiritsugu so cruel! Is he taking his anger out on Illya because of me? But she is his biological daughter! Wuwu... Illya." Irisviel's cries continued to echo in the sky, but Waver and Iskandar did not speak. They both knew that Irisviel needed to vent her emotions in this way.

"Moo-!"

But at this moment, something strange happened. The Flying Hoof Thunder Bull let out a wail, then lost control and began to fall downwards.

"Ah!! Rider! What's going on!" Waver exclaimed.

"Oh no! I thought we had avoided those strong winds, but I didn't expect it to be hit." Iskandar also looked solemn and shouted, "Hold on!"

Iskandar's superb riding skills began to take effect. He had to land safely before the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull completely lost its vitality. Otherwise, they would all be turned into minced meat if they fell from the sky.

Chapter 285 Her Light, Her Darkness

"Oh la la la la la!"

"what!!!!!"

Roars and exclamations rang out from above the forest. Iskandar was seen driving his chariot, using all his means to control the wheels of the Divine Power, preparing for a beautiful dive.

"Hold on, kid! Saber's Master! It's time for the final dive and landing!" Iskandar shouted, looking at the forest that was about to hit the front, squeezing out his last bit of magic power and began to crash into the bushes in front.

"boom!"

"Hiss - hiss -"

The sound of collisions, the friction and rolling of the earth, was deafening. Weber gritted his teeth and clung to the fence with all his might. Even when the recoil hurt, he refused to let go and bound himself tightly with magic chains.

"Ah—stop here!" Iskandar swung the entire vehicle sideways, using the powerful lateral friction to slow it down. Finally, the Shenwei's wheels collided with a massive tree, bringing it to a complete stop.

"Ha... This is really killing me. Boy, Saber's Master, you all didn't..." Iskandar turned his head and looked at the two people in the car. He was about to say a few words of comfort, but the words he was about to say stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong? Rider, what's the problem... Eh? Where's Mrs. Irisviel?" Waver untied the chains on his body and looked at Iskandar, wondering why the other party suddenly stopped talking. But when he found that he and Iskandar were the only ones in the chariot, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Shouldn't I be asking you, kid? All my attention is focused on how to land smoothly." Iskandar said.

"Oh no! I was so focused on not getting thrown off. But these chains on me were clearly made by my wife using metal manipulation magic. I thought she would have made her own set in times of crisis... Could it be that... Mrs. Irisviel couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't hold on to the fence and let the chariot throw her out!?" Waver said anxiously.

"It is very likely to be like this... A person who wishes to die in his heart will never seek a chance to live. Be patient, kid, this is not your fault." Iskandar sighed, then got off the Divine Wheel and walked towards the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull, who was lying on the ground, wailing with tears in his eyes.

When he arrived in front of the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull, Iskandar noticed that the strong wind from the Sword of Separation had inadvertently scraped the Thunder Bull's belly, causing the internal organs inside to completely necrotize. However, this process seemed to be hindered by something, and it was not until a while ago that the power was exhausted that it completely erupted.

"Is this... black fog? Could it be that the Ruined King is not dead? Did he help me stop Gilgamesh's strong wind from further destroying the Thunder Bull?" Iskandar looked at the broken hole and the small wisp of black fog that was about to disappear, and couldn't help but think.

"Thank you for your hard work, old friend. Rest in peace. I will continue your glorious journey." Iskandar stroked the bull's head and covered the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull's eyes with his palm. Under Iskandar's soothing gaze, the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull calmed down completely, eventually losing its life and dissipating into spirit particles before Iskandar.

"Rider..." Waver got off the wheel and looked at the scene, and fell silent.

"It's okay. On the battlefield, there will always be life and death. But speaking of which, kid, I'm afraid we have to find a place with richer earth magic. After activating the Noble Phantasms one after another this time, plus the plane crash just now, I can't even maintain my physical form." Iskandar said.

"Hey!" Weber only then noticed that Iskandar's figure was becoming somewhat illusory, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"Well...but don't you care about Irisviel? I just remembered something. If the owner of the magic really dies, the magic she controls should become invalid with the end of her life. But you see, these chains still have the aura of magic, which proves that its owner Irisviel should not be dead yet." Weber said, holding the chains.

"Well, I do have a guess about this. Just now, when I was checking the Thunder Bull's physical condition, I found traces of black mist left by the Ruined King Wang Chong. If it weren't for his black mist protecting my Thunder Bull, I'm afraid that when Gilgamesh released his Noble Phantasm, my Thunder Bull would have lost control and carried us headlong into the strong wind."

"And just a while ago, the black fog didn't dissipate. This proves that the Ruined King also managed to survive this battle. Since Irisviel fell off my chariot and nothing happened, I'm afraid she was saved by him." Iskandar said.

"Is that so?" Waver was a bit skeptical. However, at this point, if Irisviel was still fine, he really couldn't worry too much. After all, he and Rider were in urgent need of replenishing their magic power.

"Let's go, kid, take care of yourself first. The changes in this Holy Grail War tonight are beyond everyone's expectations and imagination... It's too tragic, and most people didn't make it back successfully." Iskandar turned around, walked slowly in a certain direction, and said.

……

The perspective began to shift to Irisviel's side a few minutes ago. Just as Iskandar and Weber guessed, when the car crashed, the sudden crisis made Irisviel temporarily sober up. She used metal magic to transform into chains, tied Weber, who was about to fly out, to the fence, and was originally planning to tie herself up as well.

But Lisviel gave up. The reason was simple: all those who could have supported her were gone. What was the point of living in this world? Without a second thought, she let the churning chariot throw her off.

The feeling of falling was strange. The moment she flew out, Irisviel thought a great deal. Ever since she was created and designed in the workshop, she had been confined to the darkness of the underground, constantly debugging the Holy Grail's carrier for the sake of her family's mission. From her birth, she had been preparing for this Holy Grail War.

As a result, she encountered Emiya Kiritsugu. She understood his wishes, and in that dark underground, Emiya Kiritsugu was like a ray of light shining on Irisviel. She had always believed this, even giving birth to Illya for this reason, her heart filled with the joy of having a family.

But when her mission finally arrived, when she brought her Servant, Artoria, to the land of Fuyuki, everything changed. She felt like she was once again on that isolated island. No... it should be said that she was like a duckweed, drifting on the turbulent surface of the Holy Grail War.

The light she once possessed began to dim, becoming increasingly difficult for her to understand. The blood of innocent people began to taint this light, and everything began to spiral towards a despicable and sinful direction.

She thought all of this was just a thorn on the road to ultimate success. If she could just endure, if she could just keep enduring...

But soon, Irisviel realized she was wrong, terribly wrong. When her family was destroyed, her daughter disappeared, and the future mirrored her dreams, she finally saw the sinful man for who he was, his paranoia, his contradictions, and his arrogance.

Especially now... When the future scene completely fell into reality, and even when reality appeared before her in an even more desperate scene, Irisviel finally realized how wrong and pitiful she had been in the past.

It turned out that I had never possessed light, I was just deceived by the dazzling scenery. From beginning to end, I had always stayed in that dark basement.

"puff!"

At that moment, Irisviel felt a reassuring touch on her back. It was as if someone was holding her. Suddenly, Irisviel saw a familiar face, and the black mist surrounding her, about to carry her back into darkness.

"Is it you?" Irisviel suddenly smiled.

As expected, what suits her best is the darkness that never sees any end and always envelops her.

Chapter 286 The Fourth Night Ends

Wang Chong finally appeared under Irisviel in time and successfully caught her. He then turned into a black mist and began to rush away into the distance.

He couldn't let Gilgamesh discover he was still alive; he had to distance himself immediately. Tonight's drama was complete; it was time to begin taking stock of the day's gains.

So Wang Chong flew non-stop towards his own mansion. After settling Irisviel, he could start recruiting Jeanne d'Arc and Altria.

"Ding—Congratulations, host, on completing the Fourth Night of the Holy Grail War. In tonight's Holy Grail War, you successfully used the tactic of borrowing a knife to kill, eliminating the Masters: Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kayneth, and the Servants: Diarmait, Lancelot. Also, because the host used the maze to trick everyone throughout the entire process, and successfully captured the Servant Jeanne d'Arc and the Servant Altria, the host is awarded 2000 basic villain points. Each achievement of eliminating or capturing a character is worth 200 points, and the excellence of the villain's actions throughout the process will earn an additional 1000 points. The total number of villain points earned is: 4200 points."

"Ding—At the last moment, you successfully deceived Gilgamesh and the others with a fantastical special effect, making everyone believe that you and your men were all dead. Once again, you lurked in the shadows, secretly controlling everything. Those clowns who thought they had won will eventually face destruction due to their negligence! Because the host's deception was outstanding, I award the host 2350 Villain Points and one Epic Lottery draw."

"Your current villain points are: 10400 villain points."

After hearing the system's various notifications, Wang Chong's heart settled. Tonight's Villain Points had already far surpassed any previous night's, not to mention the individual rewards from completing the special events tonight.

"Also, the number of epic lottery draws has reached 10. I'll go back to the red carpet later and open all the rewards I've won today." Wang Chong thought to himself.

“…ch…ong”

At this moment, a soft voice reached his ears, and Wang Chong also felt his collar being pulled. Wang Chong pulled his consciousness back to reality and looked down. Sure enough, it was Irisviel, squinting her eyes, pulling at his clothes.

"Mrs. Ellie." Wang Chong said in a low voice.

"That's great...it wasn't an illusion after all. I thought, Mr. Wang Chong, you had already..." Alice's tone sounded a little weak, and she looked exhausted.

"Mrs. Ellie, how is your health now? So many servants died at once, and now you are so weak. Could it be..." Wang Chong said.

"No...it doesn't matter. None of this matters anymore. Whether it's Saber or Miss Jeanne...I'm tired of all this." Irisviel shook her head, gave a wry smile, and continued, "My body...it does feel very uncomfortable. It feels like an excessive amount of magic power is entering my body. I'm afraid that after the deaths of so many Servants, my body has really begun to change towards the direction of the Holy Grail."

"Ellie, stop talking. Save some energy. Let's go home first." Wang Chong lowered his head and said, "I'll go find that puppeteer and help you transform your body. That way, you don't have to worry about turning into the Holy Grail."

"No need... Mr. Wang Chong, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I'm already tired... I don't want to go on any more. In this final time, could you please stay with me?" Irisviel shook her head. She no longer had any thoughts of continuing to live. She just wanted to quietly transform into the Little Holy Grail and go underground to look for her daughter.

"I will... but I'll also keep my promise." Although Wang Chong felt a little reluctant, if Irisviel was to complete that final step, destroying Illya's spiritual support was necessary. Therefore, he deliberately threw the blood-stained broken hat at Irisviel.

Of course, the real Illya was staying safely in her own dimensional home at this moment. As for the hat, she just bought one of the same style at random, smeared some monster blood on it, made it full of bloody smell, destroyed half of it, and threw it to Irisviel as a key prop.

As for the purpose of doing this, it was now self-evident. Wang Chong was very clear that after tonight, both the mission and Irisviel would belong to him alone.

……

On the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu also witnessed the destruction of the Hanging Gardens and saw the servants disappear one after another into spirits, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest enemy and some of the masters and servants of the Holy Grail War were almost dead. Now, the entire Holy Grail War was only left with the Rider group. As long as they were killed, the Holy Grail War would be completely over, and he would be able to make a short journey to the Holy Grail, complete.

The Rider team successfully saved Irisviel's life, having completed their mission. Now, Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to press on with his victory and wipe out the Rider team in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, he lost track of Iskandar's chariot.

"The Riders' riding skills? They're really fast, they actually managed to escape." Since he couldn't catch up, Emiya Kiritsugu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​destroying the Riders right now. Furthermore, a certain King of Heroes was quite opposed to his attack on Iskandar. He probably would have to use a few more Command Seals to call them along.

"We shouldn't rush to attack until we're certain of the situation... Besides, there's a troublesome guy nearby." Emiya Kiritsugu didn't look at the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu, fearing he might notice something was amiss. He knew full well that the other party understood him, and if they reached a consensus and their collaborative goal was achieved, their relationship would become a most intractable enemy.

Especially since the opponent has the bonus of Heroic Spirit, I am afraid I am no match for him in a one-on-one fight. If I want to execute him, it will not be so easy. At least the only trump card I can rely on is Gilgamesh.

"Something is wrong..." At this moment, Kiritsugu, the heroic spirit who was driving the helicopter in front of him, suddenly said.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

"First, it went a little too smoothly... Second, my employer didn't indicate that my mission was complete. If my mission was completed, I would... In short, I'm afraid Wang Chong is not really dead yet." The Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu said in a deep voice.

"You mean, the King of Heroes used his full strength to unleash his Noble Phantasm, but that guy named Wang Chong is still alive and breathing, not dead?" Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows. It's not that Emiya Kiritsugu specifically suspected the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu, he just saw clearly how the entire island and those servants died under the strong wind of Gilgamesh's Sword of Separation.

Furthermore, throughout the entire space, he hadn't seen any trace of black fog or Wang Chong. Unless he had slipped away first, there was no explanation for all this. Yet, not long ago, he had clearly seen Wang Chong, the other Servants, and their Masters, enter the building in the core area.

Now, the other party actually claimed that Wang Chong wasn't dead, and the reason given was rather vague. What employer? What about completing the mission and... what would happen? Could they please explain it clearly? Why were they starting to throw riddles at this crucial moment?

Therefore, it was impossible for Emiya Kiritsugu not to doubt the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu's words, but he couldn't rush to reveal them, so he could only reveal a hint of confusion and doubt. He knew that if he didn't doubt them at all, Kiritsugu would become wary. Therefore, he could only adopt this unwavering attitude of suspicion to make the other party relax his vigilance.

"Well, there is no doubt that there is no problem with the King of Heroes' Noble Phantasm. But my situation is also here. I know you won't completely believe my words, but please remember to prepare for the worst-case scenario and don't take chances. If that man could be killed so easily, he wouldn't have become the mastermind behind this Holy Grail War for so long, making so many Masters and Servants trust him." The Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu looked back at Emiya Kiritsugu and said.

"After I go down, I will call the King of Heroes over and ask him if he noticed anything wrong at the time. We won't gain anything more tonight for the time being... The only place we may need to go is the house of the old man where the Rider group is staying. After this battle, they will most likely go back. Who knows, maybe we can catch them in the second half of the night when they are least prepared and deal with them directly." Emiya Kiritsugu said coldly.

Kiritsugu nodded, then glanced at the fuel gauge. He didn't know until he saw it. He felt a pang of pain in his heart. They had recently borrowed a box of ancient kerosene from the King of Heroes' treasury, which was enough to fuel the helicopter. This had allowed them to restart the helicopter. Later, Kiritsugu had used his authority to repair the fuel tank to prevent further leaks.

Perhaps the helicopter accidentally hit the sword's gust of wind, or something, but the fuel tank was leaking again. Kiritsugu, feeling incredibly unlucky, could only quickly use his abilities to force the helicopter to land on land.
