I really didn't want to burn it.

"It's you again!" Ryougi Shiki smirked. "I was just looking to get my revenge on you."

"..."

The old man of the mountain stared at the 'Ryougi Shiki' with his eyes glowing with a deep blue flame.

Although Ryougi Shiki couldn't see the old man's expression because his head was covered by a thick metal helmet, she could still sense the disdain emanating from him.

"You? No way? No way? No way?"

Despite the old man's silence, Ryougi Shiki had already mentally filled in that sentence.

"I don't believe that Grand Servants are invincible."

"No, you should believe it!"

"hold head high!"

Ryougi Shiki quickly turned around.

Li Ang, Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel, and Scáthach all appeared at the elevator entrance in the lobby.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya was in bad shape; he was being held by Leon and appeared to have fainted.

Chapter 154 Li Ang: Go, my family's corrupt referee!

"What's up with him?"

Chloris asked curiously.

"Fainted."

Li Ang said helplessly, "He must have been harmed by his own magic. But it's not a big problem, Miss Irisviel has already treated him."

"Where is that Gold Pikachu's Master?"

“They ran away.” Li Ang put Kiritsugu aside. “They ran away when they saw Irisviel and I coming to help.”

"Is it……"

Chloris frowned slightly; she had a feeling that something was amiss.

"It doesn't matter anymore, the most important thing now is to deal with the old man."

Li Ang tightened his gloves and looked at the old man of the mountain standing in the center of the hall.

The other party just stood there quietly, like a BOSS in a game waiting for players to enter.

"What about the rest?"

Li Ang glanced around and realized that he was still missing two Servants and a Master.

"They're still outside; they probably won't have a chance to come over."

Upon hearing this news, Li Ang grinned and said, "Damn it, two people are missing."

"With so many of us, how could we possibly lose?"

"Ryougi Shiki" said defiantly.

“I don’t think so,” Leon said, rubbing his temples. “Grand Servants are not so easy to deal with.”

The combat power of Grand Servants, a concept introduced in the FGO game, is actually quite mysterious.

This doctor, who both caused the destruction of humanity and forcibly perished together with the beast, can be considered a self-produced and self-consumed individual.

There are also men who use the Grand Prix as a firecracker, just to blow their wives off the sky.

However, no matter how weak the Grand Servant's combat power is, they are still top-tier among Servants.

As the seven Servants chosen from the Root and standing at the pinnacle of the seven classes, they are the means by which the Counter Force uses the Beast, a great calamity that threatens primates.

In layman's terms, the Grand Servant should be the pinnacle of a Servant's combat power, the strongest among all classes.

Even at the very least, he's still one of the strongest.

Among these, the Grand Assasn is undoubtedly the most predictable.

The old man didn't appear much in the original game, but in both Chapter 6 and Chapter 7, he demonstrated the prestige and combat power that a Grand rank character should have, completely different from that perverted bear who just peed his way in.

Logically speaking, a Servant of such extraordinary stature as the old man should not be summoned in the Holy Grail War. Araya Sōren summoned the old man through unconventional cheating methods.

However, Li Ang is more inclined to believe that the fake monk, Araya Sōren, used his own voice as a sacred relic.

Of course, even if it's an illegal summon, drawing a Servant like the Old Man of the Mountain doesn't come without a price.

Like the gatekeeper at Ryudouji Temple, he is restricted to moving around within Ogawa's apartment; this is the price the old man pays for his appearance.

In other words, the old man was a true Grandmaster in Ogawa's apartment.

"This is really difficult."

Looking at this assassin who was clearly an assassin but dressed like a berserker, Li Ang commented with a conflicted expression.

However, Li Ang's inaction does not mean that the old man of the mountain will wait indefinitely.

Perhaps because Li Ang was being too indecisive, the old man of the mountain took action.

Bang.

Blue flames ignited on the skull emblem on the old man's chest, and at the same time, the iconic bell tolled in everyone's ears.

Ding~~ Ding~~ Ding~~

"This is so pretentious... While Steve Jobs and Master Huang were fighting with speakers, you're the one who gets people ringing bells wherever you go."

The old man of the mountain paid no attention to Li Ang's complaints. He drew his sword and walked toward Li Ang.

"The divine decree has been issued! This bell tolls for your destiny!"

A deep, hoarse, emotionless voice rang out from beneath the Mountain Elder's helmet.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Relying on his superior martial arts skills, Shaka was the first to charge forward with both guns in his hands.

"Let me see if this so-called Grand Servant can actually kill me!"

Faced with the menacing Queen of the Land of Shadows, the Old Man of the Mountain paid no heed. He took a step forward and slashed directly at Scáthach.

"not good!"

It was an ordinary sword strike, but Scáthach sensed a deadly threat, like the depths of hell.

Faced with immense pressure, Scáthach, the queen who could slay gods with a mere flick of her wrist, chose to actively avoid the situation.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the old man of the mountain's sword struck the ground.

It was clearly an ordinary sword strike, yet the floor of the hall suddenly shattered.

From an outsider's perspective, it's like dropping a stone into a river, causing ripples to spread outwards from the center.

But just as black soil rising up causes a sandstorm, this sword strike wasn't a stone thrown by a person, but a meteorite falling from the sky.

The ripples it creates are not pretty waves, but tsunamis that can swallow people whole!

Even with Scáthach's exceptional martial arts skills, which could even top the Celtic mythology combat power rankings, she could only barely stand firm in the face of the aftershocks of this sword strike.

Her Master, Touko, was thrown away by the shockwave, as if she had been hit by a dump truck. Touko flew through the air in a strange arc before crashing into the wall.

Judging from the eerie twisted angle of her neck, Orange's Atram Gariasta body should have already reached the end of its life.

However, Li Ang and the others no longer cared about others, as the shockwave from the Old Man of the Mountain's sword spread throughout the entire hall.

The ground beneath their feet was not only lifted several meters high, but also turned to dust in mid-air.

"Tch! Fevor, meiguis! (Boiling, my blood!)"

Reines quickly activated her Moon Spirit Essence to act as a barrier, blocking the shockwave for her side.

Even so, Waver and the others hiding behind the mercury barrier found it difficult to stand firm.

"Is this an assassin?! The destructive power of this basic attack is comparable to the Noble Phantasm of the King of Knights."

Weber's lips twitched.

If it weren't for the unique nature of this apartment building, allowing the old man to slash it from the outside, the entire city of Guanbuzi would probably have thought an earthquake had struck.

Weber originally thought that Hassan was someone who would launch surprise attacks like the Hundred Faces in World War IV.

But the ancestor of the assassin in front of him told him a stark truth.

Sneaking my ass! If I chop you all to death with one stroke, then I've accomplished the assassination.

"With this strike, perhaps half of the king's army will be wiped out?"

This idea suddenly popped into Weber's mind.

"Hey, our captain," Weber said, looking at Leon, "Are you confident you can defeat this monster?"

“How could that be?” Li Ang gave a wry smile. “That’s why I never intended to fight head-on.”

"what?"

With a puzzled look in Weber's eyes, Li Ang pointed to the old man of the mountain.

"Go, my daughter!"

"Hmph, Father, you only call me your daughter when you need me."

A slightly shy voice rang out, and a silver-haired girl crawled out of the elevator shaft that had been destroyed by the sword.

"By the Command Seal, Black Assasn ceases attack!"

P.S.: Sorry for the late update today.

I woke up early this morning and Dad was bedridden again, unable to move. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 155 Ryougi Shiki: Monk, I'm Going to Kill You

Under the pressure of Karen's Command Spell, the Old Man of the Mountain suddenly paused for a moment.

"Well……"

The old man of the mountain let out a muffled groan and stopped there in an extremely strange posture.

"Phew, well done!"

Li Ang gave Karen a thumbs up.

Using Rul's Command Spell to order the Mountain Elder to stop was the safest way for Li Ang to break the deadlock.

After all, the old man's magic resistance is only B, and his resistance to Command Seals is not as good as that of Artoria, who is a Sab class.

Therefore, using command spells is the simplest and most direct method.

As for why the old man of the mountain wasn't ordered to commit suicide...

Consider that even with the level of the big dog [Battle Continuation: A], after being ordered to commit suicide by a Command Spell, it still had the strength to kill Kirei Kotomine.

Li Ang didn't believe that the old man with [Battle Continuation: EX] would go on a killing spree without being on the verge of death.

Consider the description in the entry for "Battle Continuation: EX" that states, "Even if it suffers fatal damage and its body is half destroyed, it can still maintain the performance of a healthy body."

Li Ang felt that making the old man commit suicide was not a solution, but rather the switch that would trigger Unit-01's rampage.

Of course, the old man of the mountain, who had been stopped by the Command Spell, did not stand still obediently, but instead unleashed an even more terrifying magical power.

"whispering sound……!"

The old man of the mountain trembled all over, and black mist kept emanating from his body beneath his cloak, clearly resisting the Command Spells.

"Now!"

Li Ang quickly called for his followers to intervene.

Keeping the old man still wasn't the real goal; Li Ang's true objective was to send him on his way while he had the chance.
