I really didn't want to burn it.

Kiritsugu didn't understand any of Li Ang's nonsense at all; he just heard a voice in his ear.

Ding~~ Ding~~ Ding~~

The long, deep tolling of the bells echoed in the hall.

Then, a burly figure dressed in a black robe appeared in the center of the hall without warning.

"Listen, for this is the tolling of your bells."

The man, who was over 2 meters tall, stood with his hands on his sword. Blue flames burned around the eyes of his metal skull helmet, making him look like a messenger of hell.

"This can't be real... He's actually more imposing than that golden king..."

Irisviel looked on incredulously.

Having experienced the Holy Grail War and witnessed the Feast of the Three Kings, she thought that no Servant could surprise her anymore.

Even the strongest Servant should be unable to surpass a monster like Gilgamesh.

This was Irisviel's previous idea.

But who could have imagined that this dark figure standing in the center of the hall was far more terrifying than the golden king sitting high on the stairs!

This is a completely different aura and sense of oppression from Gilgamesh. In front of Gilgamesh, you can feel his strength, but with this man in black, you only feel that you are about to die.

Aside from wielding a two-handed greatsword instead of a scythe, this opponent truly resembled the legendary Grim Reaper who reaped lives.

They are not very similar, but exactly the same.

The bloodstained, weathered two-handed sword further reinforced everyone's impression of this man as a god of war.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Even Kiritsugu frowned at this guy who suddenly appeared.

"Why are the enemy's Servants always so powerful?!"

Kiritsugu felt that if his luck were numerically quantified, it would definitely be at the E level.

Not to mention that our own King Arthur was practically crippled at the start of the last Holy Grail War, this time the enemy Servants are all incredibly powerful.

Li Angcai didn't care about the couple's three-part surprise; all he wanted to do was leave the apartment as soon as possible.

The moment Jingmi uttered "First Generation Master," Li Ang knew something was wrong.

When the old man of the mountain stepped forward, Li Ang had absolutely no desire to fight.

How the hell are we supposed to fight this?!

"welcome."

At that moment, a deep male voice rang in everyone's ears once again.

"Welcome to my world."

Araya Sōren materialized from the wall and walked to the chandelier in the hall.

"Oh my god, did I mess up Nakata Joji's mess?! One more 666..."

Snapped.

Li Ang, who was only halfway through speaking, quickly covered his mouth to stop his jinx.

He used to gossip in front of Araya Sōren, saying that he had encountered the ancestor of assassins.

And sure enough, the ancestors came.

If he were to finish his rant, Li Ang strongly suspected that Professor Nero would break through the window any second now.

"Li Ang, what do we do now?"

Kiritsugu asked impatiently.

His battle plan was completely disrupted, so he had no choice but to ask Li Ang what to do.

In any case, the black-clad servant in front of him was so powerful that Kiritsugu couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

The emergence of the Mountain Elder is like that of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, during the Cold War. Their strength was so great that other countries had no intention of confronting them and could only lie back and watch the show.

"You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?!"

Leon exclaimed angrily, "How was I supposed to know these guys would actually summon a Grand Servant? This is absolutely cheating!!"

"maybe……"

Araya Sōren's bitter face broke into a rare smile.

"I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect to actually summon the Old Man of the Mountain. I thought the restraint would keep targeting me until the end, but Lady Luck actually smiled on me this time."

"So how exactly did you do it?"

Seeing that Huangye Sect had entered a state of "Boss being overly confident and willing to answer any question", Li Ang quickly pressed the other party for the method of summoning the Grand Master.

"I have become one with the entire apartment building, and I have complete control over everything inside! That is why the Old Man of the Mountain can manifest himself within the apartment!"

Araya Sōren said smugly.

“Li Ang, if you had launched an attack outside the apartment, the Mountain Elder wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you, but now that you’ve brought Ryougi Shiki to my doorstep, I won’t be polite.”

"Oh, I see."

Li Ang suddenly realized and gently tapped his palm with his fist.

"So, old man, you're just a doorman."

boom!

The blue flame in the old man's eyes suddenly grew stronger.

"You! Hand over your head!"

The black greatsword swung directly toward Li Ang's head.

Chapter 150 Mrs. Emiya's Worries

Upon hearing Li Ang's complaints, Old Master Wang Ha immediately erupted in anger. His eyes flashed with a ghostly blue flame, and the shockwaves generated by the greatsword he wielded were like a hurricane, rippling outwards.

Li Ang was, after all, a battle-hardened warrior. Long before King Ha attacked, he had prepared to dodge and cast several layers of shields on himself using runes.

Even so, Li Ang was still sent flying by the sword energy that the old man of the mountain could see.

"hold head high!"

Ryougi Shiki immediately activated her Mystic Eyes, preparing to attack the Old Man of the Mountain.

however……

"No deadline?!"

Ryougi Shiki held her long sword in mid-air, unsure of what to do.

Even Gilgamesh, who is currently sitting high in the audience, has death lines on his body, but this man in black robes doesn't?!

"I exist between life and death, so naturally there is no boundary to death for me."

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, Ryougi Shiki saw countless rays of light flying toward her.

"This is much easier than my magic eye."

Ryougi Shiki quickly rolled on the ground to dodge the mountain old man's attack, and then helped Li Ang, who was lying on the ground, up.

"Aang, are you okay?"

"Fortunately."

Li Ang rubbed his neck and stood up.

[Hehe, now you know the harm of not being able to control your mouth, right, host?]

"System, shut up!"

Li Ang spat on the floor.

Kiritsugu gripped the handle of his Thompson Cent tightly and asked, "Leon, what's the next step?"

"Didn't you hear what that monk who always answers questions said? The old man can only appear in the apartment; just demolish the apartment."

As for confronting the old man of the mountain head-on, sorry, that's not an option in Li Ang's mind at all.

If it were in the Qin Dynasty, Li Ang might let A Zheng and his grandfather go through a few rounds; if it were in the Greek mythological era, Li Ang might even go himself.

But given the current situation, Li Ang has no intention of fighting the Old Man of the Mountain.

This has nothing to do with being brave or cowardly. If there are other ways, then don't force it.

"Hmph, naive."

Araya Sōren also noticed the unfriendly expressions on Li Ang's side. He opened his hand and gently squeezed...

"what!"

A soft cry came from Irisviel!

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the ground, swallowing Kiritsugu, Irisviel, and Leon.

Kirei Kotomine also disappeared, but judging from the lack of surprise on his face, it was probably something he and Souren Araya had agreed upon.

By the time Ryougi Shiki and Chloris realized what was happening, the floor had already returned to its original state.

"Hey, what did you do to Li Ang?!"

Chloris gritted her teeth and questioned him directly.

Araya Sōren did not answer, but instead gave the order directly.

"Your Highness Gilgamesh, Lord Mountain Elder...you may proceed."

Gilgamesh, still seated high above, narrowed his blood-red eyes and said to Chloris in an indescribable tone, "Gods, huh... very well, it has been a long time since I have laid a hand on a god."

Before Chloris could speak, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm came crashing down on Flora.

"Come and help me, you idiot!"

While raising a wall of plants to block Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm rain, Chloris shouted loudly at Ryougi Shiki.

"Can't you see I'm busy?!"

The tone of "Ryougi Shiki" was also very impolite.

The overwhelming pressure from the old man of the mountain was driving Ryougi Shiki mad.

Her swordsmanship was child's play compared to this old man. He didn't even need to swing his sword; he simply released wind-blade-like magic, which kept Ryougi Shiki busy.

Before encountering the Old Man of the Mountain, Ryougi Shiki always thought that the most troublesome type of enemy would be a high-speed opponent.

After all, with the help of the Magic Eye, there is no defense that I cannot break, only people that I cannot cut down.

But the black-clad monster in front of her completely overturned Ryougi Shiki's worldview.

This guy, who seems to have no limits and whose skills and strength are far superior to his own, is practically his nemesis.

when!

As the longsword was once again deflected by the black armor, Ryougi Shiki slid backward a large step before coming to a stop.

"Hoo-hoo-what kind of monster is this! Ang, really, he didn't even explain it beforehand."

Ryougi Shiki stared breathlessly at the old man of the mountain before her.

"It seems that it was too early to let the old man of the mountain take the stage."

Araya Sōren, high up, let out a sigh.

He witnessed the entire battle between Ryougi Shiki and the Old Man of the Mountain.

Araya Sōren felt that, given the current situation, Ryougi Shiki's eyes were still somewhat different from what he had hoped for.

Although he had focused his efforts on the Holy Grail War to reach the Root, Araya Sōren still had some expectations for Ryougi Shiki's body.

After all, if the Holy Grail can't solve the problem, then Ryougi Shiki is their Plan B.

"Fine, you go first. This is your last chance."
