They took the initiative to attack the Tohsaka family.
Of course, this was not a reckless plan.
Diarmuid, the Servant he summons, is known as the 'Radiant One' and possesses high mobility and close-combat capabilities.
It is most advantageous for him to use it against archers.
So, the very next night, he and Diarmuid arrived near the Tohsaka family's residence.
However, the two were far apart. Kenneth had known since that night that Gilgamesh had a terrible personality, so he had Diarmuid unleash his magic nearby to provoke him.
And sure enough, that golden-haired guy took the bait.
In his eyes, the Tohsaka family, having lost the protection of their Servants, was nothing more than an empty shell.
Chapter 136 Kenneth's Departure, Because of Li Chaofei's Gudako's Shape Change!
And the traps that Tokiomi Tohsaka had set up nearby.
It meant nothing to Kenneth, the genius of the Clock Tower.
The mercury protective membrane that instantly unfolds around his body will keep anything that gets close to him away.
Whether it was a physical trap or a magical barrier, Kenneth found them all laughable.
While Tokiomi Tohsaka has a good affinity with fire and is skilled in using gem magic, Kenneth is proficient in both wind and water, and is also an expert in spirit summoning and alchemy.
He had conducted a detailed investigation into Tokiomi Tohsaka beforehand and found that if the two were to fight, he would have a greater than 90% chance of winning.
As he had anticipated, Tokiomi Tohsaka was no match for him, and his wife and daughters were trembling in the corner.
However, Kenneth had no interest in the two defenseless weaklings for the time being. As long as he killed Tokiomi Tohsaka first, everything would be up to him.
However, just as Kenneth was about to joyfully receive the result he hoped for, he suddenly heard a series of random, unpredictable roars.
Then he saw that the walls of the Tohsaka family's house had been violently breached from the outside, and then a knight dressed entirely in black crashed in.
The Moon Spirit Essence Liquid that I possess has the functions of automatic attack, automatic target acquisition, and automatic defense.
As the black knight charged forward, his magical armor activated, and a large amount of mercury blocked Kenneth's side.
However, this level of magical artifact is utterly insignificant to a Berserker. For a Berserker, breaking through this mercury barrier is as easy as puncturing a plastic bag.
"Pfft—23—!"
Kenneth was sent flying backwards, blood gushing from his mouth.
At the same time, Diarmuid, who was struggling to withstand Gilgamesh's indiscriminate bombardment, immediately received the Command Seal's command, his body turning into a wisp of blue smoke and disappearing instantly, hurriedly rescuing his Master.
Then, while Gilgamesh was venting his anger in the forest, Kariya Matou severely humiliated and taught Tokiomi Tohsaka a lesson in front of Aoi Tohsaka and her daughter.
...
Kenneth's Holy Grail War can be considered a failure this time.
The feeling of being hit by a berserker at full power is not something that can be easily dismissed with mere words.
If it weren't for the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid having some effect, Kenneth would probably have passed away last night.
"Where...where am I...?"
Kenneth, waking from his coma, shook his dizzy head and looked at the ceiling above him. Memories of yesterday flooded his brain like a tidal wave.
Kenneth remembered that he was fighting Tokiomi Tohsaka and, as expected, he was in the lead, but at the last moment, the Black Knight rushed in from outside and knocked him away.
Then... the person he saw before he lost consciousness was Diarmuid, the Servant who had saved him.
Kenneth calmed down and began to sort out his chaotic thoughts.
Just thinking about that muscle-bound berserker makes me furious. If it weren't for his interference, the original three families would only have one Einzbern family left.
He straightened his back and tried to stand up, but suddenly found that he couldn't move at all.
"Wha...what's going on?" Kenneth lowered his head, opened his eyes, and stared at his current state.
His hands and feet were wrapped in white bandages, but there were no other restraints.
The bandages were just ordinary bandages, not magical costumes used for binding.
But why can't I move any part of my body except my head?
Kenneth, who had this question, quickly found the answer.
"You're finally awake, Kenneth."
A voice he recognized very well came from outside the room. If he had to say what he had to do with the honors he possessed, after spending some time with his fiancée Sora, he realized that all those things combined were not as precious as she alone.
"Sora? What's wrong with you? Where is this?" Kenneth was full of questions, such as why he wasn't in his room and why he couldn't move.
"Have you really forgotten? Being hit by a berserker is more serious than you think. Most of your magic circuits have been destroyed, and your nerves are severely damaged."
Sora pursed her lips and said coldly, "You will never be able to use magic again."
When his fiancée said those words, Kenneth couldn't believe he had become a 'useless person'.
The inability to use magic again hovered in the center of his brain like a curse.
"I..."
After assessing his physical condition, Kenneth couldn't help but show a hint of despair.
Having been hailed as a child prodigy since childhood, all his honors crumbled quickly after facing the harsh reality.
Without his prized magic tricks, how could he research new ones, and how could he be worthy of his fiancée, Sora?
A tear rolled down his cheek.
At that moment, he felt a soft, white hand gently covering his shoulder.
"It's too early to give up now. If we win the Holy Grail War, you can get everything back. If you give me your Command Seals, don't we still have a chance to win?"
Encouragement from his fiancée Sora cheered Kenneth up a little.
Sora is right!
If you achieve final victory and make a wish upon the Holy Grail, your body will be restored to its original state.
Then everything will be back to normal!
"But..."
Kenneth fell silent. He could no longer protect himself, and in his current physical condition, participating in the war was clearly a pipe dream. Giving up his Command Seals was obviously the best option.
However, once I hand it over, I will have nothing left.
The Holy Grail War is explicitly designated as a battle between seven magicians. Each magician can find allies in advance, but once the Holy Grail War begins, other magicians are not allowed to interfere with the seven of them.
Otherwise, magicians who violate the rules will be held accountable by both the Magic Association and the Church.
In other words, Kenneth can no longer count on his family's support.
"Why are you hesitating? Don't you trust me?" Sora asked.
“Command Seals are different from magic circuits. Even an ordinary person can use them after obtaining them. I am still Lancer’s Master, so please continue to provide Lancer with magical energy.”
Kenneth didn't want to hand over the Command Seals, not because he didn't trust Sora, but because he didn't trust Diarmuid.
He was a traitor who had eloped with the monarch's fiancée.
I would never believe him.
"I see..." Sora nodded, slowly stood up, and the expression on her face gradually faded.
A beautiful woman knelt before Kenneth.
Just as he was wondering what his fiancée was about to do, an object that appeared in his line of sight made Kenneth's pupils contract.
"What...what do you want to do?" Kenneth's heart was immediately clouded, and the beautiful girl in front of him seemed like a stranger.
“My medium magic is not enough to strip you of your Command Seal, so since you are so disobedient, I will have no choice but to remove your right hand.”
With chilling words in her mouth, Sora slowly placed the magic-enhanced dagger on the back of Kenneth's right hand.
Forcibly transferring Command Seals using physical means is the most direct method!
"You...you can't do this! I'm your fiancé! Aren't we going to have a grand wedding?!"
Kenneth's face turned pale; he couldn't believe that his lovely fiancée would want to cut off his right hand.
“Why not? It’s your fault for not agreeing to my request,” Sora said calmly.
Then the blade easily pierced Kenneth's arm, and crimson blood flowed down, staining the white floor crimson.
"!"
Kenneth felt no pain because his body was numb.
But seeing his arm bleeding only intensified his fear.
Kenneth was losing blood faster and faster, his skin was turning pale, and he struggled to lift his head as he lost too much blood.
"Lady Sora, what are you doing?!"
Just then, Diarmuid suddenly burst in.
Kenneth looked at the man who placed the red spear against Sora's neck, and in that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
Then, looking at Diarmuid's weakened state, 127 said, "Lancer! I command you with a Command Spell..."
...
The day after Kenneth announced his withdrawal from the Holy Grail War, Kirei Kotomine, the spokesperson for the Holy Church, informed all the remaining Masters through their familiars.
The fact that yet another Master has left the stage has caused a huge uproar.
Kenneth was a genius, so he also possessed the arrogance common to geniuses.
Their sudden withdrawal from the Holy Grail War caught the existing Masters somewhat off guard.
Of course, no one knows or wants to know the reason behind this, since to everyone else he was just an insignificant person who withdrew.
However, since Kenneth has chosen to withdraw voluntarily, it means that there is one less strong contender for the Holy Grail, which is good news for the other Masters, especially Tokiomi Tohsaka.
At this point in the Holy Grail War, there are not many Servants left who can continue.
Gilgamesh, the chuunibyou under Tokiomi Tohsaka, Waver and Iskandar the Red Emperor, Kariya Matou and his Berserker, as well as Li Chaofei and Saber.
And Kirei Kotomine, who secretly summoned the Assassin-class Heroic Spirit, but since the Assassin's strength is arguably the weakest, he is almost ignored by the others.
"What should we do next?"
Artoria ate grapes one after another, seemingly without any concern for what was to come.
"Let things be as they are. Anyway, no one can threaten us." Li Chaofei leaned back on the sofa, enjoying a massage from Xiya and Xiaoying.
His nouveau riche attitude drew disdain from the other girls.
"However, we still haven't made any progress on our mission... Senior, is it really okay for us to just idly drift along like this?"
Mashu looked to the other side, where her senior and also her Master, Gudako, was eating snacks and drinking her favorite soda.
He sprawled out on the sofa, completely oblivious to his appearance, watching the romance drama that was playing on TV.
'The senior is basically useless...'
Looking at Gudako in this state, Mash couldn't help but think to herself.
Chapter 137 Gilgamesh: What a disappointing ending! Time!
Mashu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had turned around and was looking at her, with potato chip crumbs still stuck to the corner of her mouth. She couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, saying, "Senpai!?"
"Well, Mash, don't worry. Although the location of the singularity is still unclear, everything points to the Greater Grail."
Fujimaru Ritsuka wiped her mouth and said, "As long as we find the Greater Grail beforehand, this Holy Grail War can basically be over."
“But wouldn’t doing that cause a backlash from the other Masters?” Mash asked.
The Masters participating in the Holy Grail War almost all have their own ideas, and if they knew that they were going to destroy the Greater Grail, they would definitely come out to stop them.
Judging from the current combat strength, our side has two Heroic Spirits, Saber and Mash. Because of Sakura, Kariya Matou is basically an ally on this side as well, not to mention Li Chaofei, a human whose strength is unclear.
However, it's a bit shameless to cause trouble for others just to achieve one's own goals.
In the past, they fought hard alongside their predecessors, and although they received help from other heroic spirits along the way, they were the ones who relied most on themselves.
