Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"Cheating? Are you questioning this king?"

Gilgamesh's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he threw the precious golden wine cup in his hand to the ground. "You really spoil my fun! Miscellaneous cultivator, why don't you end your turn?"

The challenger was overwhelmed by Gilgamesh's momentum, and due to the restrictions of the rules, he covered one card each in the front and back fields and ended his turn hastily.

However, in the challenger's own opinion, he did have a chance of winning. After all, Gilgamesh had used up a lot of resources to summon him, and the next time he drew cards, he would only have two cards, and he also had defensive measures in the backfield to respond to the attack declaration.

"My turn begins! Draw a card." Gilgamesh didn't even look at the card he drew, because the law of victory had already been completed.

"Use the effect of [King's Treasure] to equip four more equipment cards from your deck to me!"

The backfield was once again filled in an instant, and the densely packed Noble Phantasms increased Gilgamesh's attack power to 5000.

"How...how is this possible? With so many equipment cards, there really won't be any stuck?"

The challenger knelt on the ground helplessly. Gilgamesh's resources were consumed very quickly, but the speed of replenishment was also comparable. He didn't even need to consume the cards in his hand to fill the field with one card.

"Hahahaha, look upon the glory of this king, you miscellaneous cultivators!"

The successive releases of the Noble Phantasms once again cleared the entire scene.

Challenger LP 2000 → LP 1000.

"Uh ah ah ah ah ah!"

Before the challenger could finish his cry of pain, Gilgamesh launched his attack.

"Let's get to the battle phase! Shout out your honor at being defeated by this king!"

Challenger LP 1000 → 0!

The battle ended in a completely crushing manner, and Gilgamesh stood at the center of the stage of victory like a king.

[This is a truly fitting battle style for the King of Heroes. So far, no one has been able to harm Gilgamesh. How long can this streak last? Let's wait and see!]

Gilgamesh looked at the Hassan of a Hundred Faces who was recording the video, snatched the camera from his hand, and signaled the other Hassan of a Hundred Faces to hand the microphone to him.

Matou Shinji, listen carefully. Only I deserve to be number one. Although the most fragrant wine should be saved for last, these miscellaneous cultivators are truly boring to me. So, as an appetizer, challenge me to a duel—besides these weak magicians, there are other Heroic Spirits here. Let's see who can be the first to eliminate a Heroic Spirit!

Chapter 102: There is actually a traitor in the alliance.

"Gilgamesh...isn't that the protagonist of the oldest known heroic epic?"

Shirou Emiya watched the blond man challenging Matou Shinji on TV, searching his memory for the knowledge.

"And he's not Assassin, right? The Servants Caster can summon are really everywhere."

"No...it shouldn't be a Servant from Caster's side."

Toosaka Rin looked at the information Bazette had sent back. She had searched every area, but hadn't found Caster. She had even sent the more mobile Medusa into Ryuudouji, where the Soul Crystal was on display, but still couldn't find him. It looked like Caster wouldn't appear until the Duel event was over.

"I had Jason summon Atalanta and tried it. That poisonous Assassin did give us a ticket to trigger the Noble Phantasm. But it didn't work, as if it was judged as a derivative."

"So Gilgamesh can trigger Caster's Noble Phantasm, so he must be a legitimately summoned Servant."

Emiya Shirou followed Tōsaka Rin's line of thought and continued, "Then why are there additional officially summoned Servants...?"

Toosaka Rin thought of what Kotomine Kirei said during their final battle.

"...My own effect: discard two cards from your hand, and at the start of your next turn, Special Summon an Archer of eight or lower from your Graveyard in Attack Position."

The card Gilgamesh displayed during the duel was Archer, an eight-star card. Toosaka Rin didn't believe there was no connection.

"So why hasn't Sakura come back yet? It's almost time for dinner. Is anything wrong?"

"Don't worry, the current rules mean you won't be attacked... and there's no broadcast of the duel, so something must have delayed them."

Toosaka Rin flipped through a few channels but didn't see Matou Sakura. She also felt like the Hundred Faces had become a bit too numerous, more numerous than before. Previously, there were only those carrying cameras, but now those with lights and microphones were standard. Every duel had an active Hundred Faces presence.

"Don't just let Sakura cook. She takes care of all your housework here, right? You're ordered around at school, but you order Sakura around at home, right?"

Toosaka Rin kicked Emiya Shirou and said, "It's our turn today, why don't you hurry up and do it?"

"All right……"

Shirou Emiya stood up helplessly. He also felt that he was a little lazy when Sakura was around, but he felt that most of the girls around him had some problems with their personalities.

In fact, he wanted to order Archer to do the work, but Red A also went out to investigate.

"Since there are two of us doing this, let's make something more sumptuous today!"

Toosaka Rin rolled up her sleeves. Although she looks like a young lady, she is actually very good at Chinese cuisine.

Jiang You looked at the purple Servant who was trying to hide himself, and felt that he was being somewhat disrespected.

"Sister R... This barrier was created by Medea using soul crystals. A+ aura blocking won't work. Just come out."

Jiang You wasn't sure what Sakura Matou was thinking, but Medusa didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Caster, my Master wants to see you..."

Medusa heard this and walked out, explaining her purpose. She even kindly reminded him, "Besides, your Servant's guard is too weak. If you want to hide yourself, staying here is not a wise choice."

"We are not that bad yet."

Baimao emerged from the shadows. She didn't want to be labeled incompetent by other servants in front of her Master. "It was the Master who wanted to see you that made a break for you. Besides, if the Master wanted to leave, no one would be able to find him."

Baimao has long been accustomed to Jiang You's behavior of unplugging and logging off from time to time. This five-speed effect is above all rules, and Medea even calls him invincible.

"Master, I advise against attending this appointment."

After Baimao increased her fame in a certain area, the effectiveness of her Noble Phantasm was slightly improved, and the number of her clones increased a lot, so she had enough manpower to gather intelligence.

"Although Matou Sakura has a connection with you, sir, she has already joined the subjugation team led by Tousaka Rin and Bazette. Judging from their intentions, they are likely trying to circumvent your activities and launch a direct attack."

"Caster doesn't need to go to the appointment."

Medusa had already received instructions from Matou Sakura, and they had already anticipated this situation.

"My Master will come to the appointment in person."

"That's not necessary."

Jiang You had been constantly reporting information about Rin Tohsaka's situation, and he'd probably already guessed what Matou Sakura was thinking. However, this additional plot should improve her favorability. "Sakura doesn't seem to have any intention of participating in the competition, so I'll meet with her to reassure her."

Jiang You was actually more worried about Illya coming straight at him. This wasn't a standard Galgame with fixed options, and he hadn't figured out how to explain why he didn't respond to the summons. He could only pray his favorability didn't drop too much; he still hadn't collected all the rewards.

"In that case, I'll leave first."

Medea nodded, and after getting Jiang You's reply, she went straight away.

Medusa was very fast, and she had covered half of the mountain path in a few breaths. However, she did not leave immediately, but stopped halfway.

"You've been following me for so long, stop hiding and come out, Archer!"

Medusa didn't turn her head, but shot the chain sword in her hand towards the bushes on the left.

"As expected of a snake, its sense of smell is so sharp."

Red A dodged the attack and landed in front of Medusa, blocking her path.

"I thought I was the most unstable one, but I didn't expect that you, Rider, would be the first Servant to betray me."

"How about we talk?"

Looking at Medusa in an attacking posture, Red A also projected Gan Jiang and Moye.

"No need!"

She removed her self-sealing eye mask and activated her petrifying eyes.

Red A, who knew Medusa's real name, also had his own way of dealing with it. He threw out two swords, blocking Medusa's sight.

At this moment, the chains connecting the chain swords surrounded Red A from all directions. Medusa's previous running was not just to hurry on. The chains were intertwined like a spider web. Now it was time to close the net!

"I was careless, but it doesn't matter!"

Red A directly used Jiang You's Noble Phantasm, the two swords disintegrated, and Medusa's petrifying magic eyes were activated.

"I accept your duel!"

Chapter 103: Have you ever considered using playing cards to convey information?

"In this situation... is there any video footage? Medusa is always on the Master's side. It wouldn't be good to expose it, right?"

If the battle between Medusa and Red A were broadcast, no matter what the outcome, Toosaka Rin and the others would realize that something was wrong, and Matou Sakura would be in an awkward situation.

"That's true, but the Master meant to hold the competition fairly."

Another Baimao still picked up the camera and said, "You know the delay? We can just air it when it's over. A duel between Heroic Spirits is much more eye-catching than those ordinary magicians' decisions. The ratings will skyrocket."

"Don't these ratings have anything to do with us?"

This Baimao always feels that his other selves can no longer be called Assassin.

"Stop talking nonsense, the duel is about to begin! Hold on tight!"

The duel began in the space, but since it was a remote area, there were no spectators watching this duel between heroes.

"When did you figure it out?"

Medusa stared at Red A. She and Sakura Matou were both the type who rarely spoke in the team, and could be said to be completely invisible.

"The area you're in charge of today should be the commercial street, right? There's no reason for you to be here."

"Well, everyone else seems to believe in that little girl Matou Sakura."

Red A crossed her chest and shook her head, "But she and Illya have always had similar positions, so it's only natural that she would betray me. All I can say is, our Masters are still children, their innocence is terrifying."

"In that case, I can only leave you here!"

Medusa grabbed her deck and said, "I'll attack first!"

Medusa looked at the cards in her hand, a hint of nostalgia and worry revealed in her square pupils.

"First, I Normal Summon [Stheno] as the embodiment of my longing. Onee-sama, please respond to me!"

A petite goddess with bright purple hair appeared in golden light.

【Stheno】

Assassin 3 stars, attack power 800.

"Isn't this my sister? I haven't seen her for a long time. She has grown up."

Stheno looked at Medusa with a playful expression, but from the curve of her mouth, it can be seen that she was still quite happy.

"grow up?!"

Medusa, who always looked aloof and domineering, revealed a rather weak expression. She looked down at herself and realized that there was no such thing as growth after becoming a Heroic Spirit, unless her spiritual foundation changed.

"Sister, please stop teasing me. We still have to fight..."

"Actually, I have no objection. You can continue."

"Ah, what a polite gentleman! I like him very much."

Steno covered his mouth and chuckled at Red A. If it weren't for the duel rules, the charm would probably have already started.

"Medusa, you actually want to attack such a child. I am very sad."

Medusa knew her sister was a person who would flatter any man, no matter what kind of man she was dealing with. However, these words were not sincere at all.

"elder sister……"

Medusa was actually a very well-behaved person in front of her sister, and she really didn't know how to ask Stheno to cooperate with her.

"Alright, alright, don't look so distressed. It's really ugly. You should also call Euryale out. The chances of the three of us being reunited are slim."

Perhaps he saw something, and Stheno took the initiative to ask Medusa to continue her actions.

"Thank you!"

Medusa was finally able to continue her turn, "Sister's effect! When this card is Special Summoned, you can retrieve a [Gorgon] Servant from your Deck! The Servant I want to add is, [Eurielle]!"

"That's right! That's right. Medusa is such a good girl."

Stheno's tone was like coaxing a child, but Medusa had no objection. Instead, she looked very pleased.

In response, Red A showed a rather subtle expression.
