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

Toosaka Rin specifically killed Emiya not just for revenge, "Then, [Emiya]'s effect, once per turn, when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard, special draw [Emiya Shirou] from your hand and Graveyard! And because of his effect, add an Equip card to your hand."

【Emiya Shirou】Attack power 1600.

"Tousaka-san, did you encounter any battle?"

Emiya Shirou had experience being summoned, so he skillfully assumed a fighting stance. When he saw his opponent, he looked puzzled.

"The opponent is actually Sakura? What happened?"

"These things are too troublesome to explain! Let's talk about it after we get back!"

Toosaka Rin raised the card in her hand, and the card seemed to distort the space around it.

"Emiya-san, are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

Emiya Shirou sensed a breath of the same origin from that card, and his magic circuits leaped with joy.

"Of course, it's the great magician who embraces his own glorious future and can materialize his own mental world—Mr. Emiya Shirou!"

Toosaka Rin held up the card that had been rejected by the world, "I activate the Field Spell Card [Unlimited Blade Works]!"

A crimson sky, spinning gears, and an endless stream of swords. This was the inherent barrier of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, or rather, Emiya Shirou.

"This card can only be activated when [Emiya] or [Emiya Shirou] is on the field. The activation of this card cannot be negated! When this card is activated, you can equip up to four Equip Spell Cards from your Deck and Graveyard to the corresponding Servants!"

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 1600 → 3600

"Next, I will equip him with the equipment card that was added to his hand due to the effect of [Emiya Shirou]."

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 3600 → 4100

This is a value higher than the basic attack power of any known servant. Shirou Emiya makes a grand appearance!

Chapter 127: Forgive me, Sakura, this is the last time.

"With such a high attack power, Medusa, I will definitely be ravaged to death by him. You must protect me well."

Euryale hid behind Medusa, looking very scared.

"I won't ravage you!"

Emiya Shirou didn't want his reputation to be damaged, so he immediately corrected himself, "I'll finish this soon."

"Another effect of [Unlimited Blade Works] is that whenever this card is face-up, [Emiya Shirou] gains the same effect as Archer, releasing an Equipment Card to destroy cards."

"So, first, I will release the [Pseudo-Spiral Sword] and destroy [Medusa]!"

Shirou Emiya made the same move as Red A, and the spiral sword was shot out like an arrow, directly sending Medusa into the cemetery.

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 4100 → 3600

Matou LP 2500→2000.

"Then our target is [Eurielle]! Emiya-san, I've always felt that you and Gilgamesh have a lot in common. Your effects are somewhat similar."

"I think given his personality, he'd probably get angry, and I don't want to be shot to pieces."

Shirou Emiya disagrees with Rin Tohsaka's opinion. He thinks it would be a good thing if he and Gilgamesh don't fight.

This time, the weapon being released is the [False Spiral Sword]. Unlike the King's Treasure, [Unlimited Bladework] doesn't require different equipment cards. By releasing the Spiral Swords consecutively, you can achieve an effect similar to Gilgamesh's.

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 3600 → 3100

Matou Sakura LP 2000→ 1500.

"No matter what the effect of [Gorgon's Temple] is, I won't give you a chance! Emiya Shirou, destroy [Stheno] in the backfield too!"

Toosaka Rin doesn't want to fail here.

"How cruel! Even though I hid here, I couldn't escape your clutches. My dear Master Medusa, I will leave first."

Even though he was pierced by the spiral sword, Stheno kept smiling.

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 3100 → 2600

Matou Sakura LP 1500→ 1000.

"The final target is that covered card!"

Rin Tōsaka was securing victory step by step, and this time she wouldn't let him down. As long as she destroyed the backfield, Sakura would have no means of counterattack.

The liberated Gan Jiang Moye blew the last card in Matou Sakura's backfield into pieces.

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 2600 → 2100

"I'm sorry, sister. This card is the Trap Card [Blood Temple]. Its original effect is to destroy a card on your side of the field, then destroy a card on your opponent's side of the field. Of course, this effect is sealed by the effect of [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu]. I want to activate the second effect - when this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, place up to two Servants in the Graveyard as Continuous Magic Cards in the backfield."

Medusa and Yurielle appeared again behind Sakura Matou.

Now Shirou Emiya only has one Noble Phantasm left in his hand, and his reserve of Noble Phantasms is no longer enough.

"Then I will release the last equipment card and destroy [Eurielle]!"

"No matter how you look at it, Medusa is the bigger threat!"

Yurielle looked at Tohsaka Rin angrily.

[Emiya Shirou] Attack: 2100 → 1600

"Let's get into the battle phase. If we can successfully attack, 1600 attack power will be enough. But I think you must have a way to deal with it, Sakura. [Emiya Shirou] launch a direct attack on Sakura!"

"Sakura, I'm sorry!"

Although Shirou Emiya didn't know why he had to fight against Sakura Matou, he had to obey Rin Tohsaka's duel instructions according to the duel rules. He projected a black and white sword and slashed at Sakura Matou.

"Shirou-senpai, I won't make things difficult for you. The effect of [Gorgon's Temple] releases a permanent magic card on the backfield, negating one attack!"

Medusa in the backcourt blocked the fatal blow for Sakura Matou.

"Well done, Sakura! I'll end my turn then."

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] Attack: 900 → 1800

"My turn, draw a card!"

Matou Sakura looked at the card in her hand, feeling a bit embarrassed. Because that was the form of Medusa she disliked, just like she disliked the Black Grail form in Jiang You's hand. Winning wasn't something she had to do right now.

"Sakura, don't worry about me."

Medusa had been waiting nearby, but she hadn't expressed her opinion. She knew what the card was from Matou Sakura's expression.

"Feel free to use it."

Matou Sakura nodded gratefully.

"I activate the Spell Card [Gorgon Fusion]! Banish the three [Gorgon] servants in the Graveyard on the field and Special Summon [Gorgon]!"

The earth was roaring, and a huge snake body as big as a mountain broke through the ground, and the queen of monsters came to the world.

[Gorgon] Avenger 9 stars, 3500 attack power.

A huge servant beyond everyone's cognition appeared in front of everyone. The audience was amazed at the size of Gorgon and its extremely high attack power.

"Too many humans, as dense as bugs...disgusting!"

Gorgon tried to move his snake tail to sweep away the humans around him, but because of the rules of the duel, he couldn't turn his idea into action.

"There's something wrong with this place. How could there be such a treasure?"

"Isn't that Medusa?"

Sakura Matou only then realized that Medusa was still by her side. If it were in another form, she would have pulled her main body over as well.

"It's a bit strange, but it's perfectly normal for Caster's Noble Phantasm to draw in Servants from other worldlines. [Gorgon's] effect: upon a successful Summon, select up to three Servants on your opponent's side of the field. These are treated as Continuous Spell Cards and placed face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone! Also, for each Continuous Spell Card in the backfield, Gorgon's Attack Power increases by 500! Forcefully seal the Pantheon!"

"How dare you order me...what?"

Gorgon found that his body was moving according to Matou Sakura's orders.

"Don't try to succeed!"

Toosaka Rin knew that if she succeeded in getting her to attack, she would be defeated.

"[Emerald Magic] effect in the Graveyard banishes this card and another [Gem] Magic, negating your target selection effect!"

"Ququ's low-level magic actually..."

Gorgon's Noble Phantasm was blocked, which she couldn't accept. However, because no one was familiar with her and she had an attitude problem, no one paid any attention to her.

"In that case, I Normal Summon [Matou Sakura (Imaginary Number)]!"

Sakura Matou stepped out from the dark purple crack. This was a completely different form from the one in Matou Shinji's eyes.

【Matou Sakura (imaginary number)】

3-star attack power 1800.

"My own effect, once per turn, can be activated targeting 1 face-up Attack Position monster on your opponent's side of the field. Banish that monster until your next Standby Phase. After this effect is activated, I cannot declare an attack. Shirou-senpai, I'm sorry, but destroying your Servant will cause trouble, so I'm asking you to be banished for a while."

The black and purple alien space swallowed up Shirou Emiya.

"Then enter the battle phase! [Gorgon] attacks [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu]!"

“What a cumbersome job!”

The Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu knew that he was no match for Gorgon, but he still went forward to fight him.

Without any surprise, he successfully turned into a stone statue and appeared behind Sakura Matou.

Toosaka Rin LP 3500 → LP 1800.

"Gorgon cannot be destroyed by spell effects. Even if it is destroyed by the Battle City, I can release a continuous magic card in the backfield as a replacement. Sister, it's over."

"How can you give up until the end?"

Toosaka Rin laughed, and she was not without a way to win.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Sakura, you're right, it's over! But I'm the winner!"

"I Normal Summon [Tosaka Tokiomi]! Thanks to Father's effect, I add [Jewel Sword Zelritch] from my deck to my hand!"

【Tousaka Tokiomi】Attack power 1200.

Matou Sakura realized what Tohsaka Rin was thinking: "You want to bypass Gorgon directly with jewel magic? But the three-time limit of Tohsaka Tokiomi alone is not enough."

"That's enough. The effect of [Jewel Sword] requires banishing a [Tōsaka] Servant from the Graveyard before it can be equipped. I will equip [Jewel Sword] to my father."

Tohsaka Tokitoki seemed a little excited as he held the legendary magic sword.

[Tousaka Tokiomi] Attack: 1200 → 1700

"[Jewel Sword] Effect! While face-up on the field, [Jewel] Spell Cards cannot be negated. Once per turn, search your deck for all Jewel Spells except your own!"

Toosaka Rin LP 1800 → LP 2050.

Matou Sakura LP 1000 → LP 750.

"I'm searching for [Gem Bullet]! Card Name: Once per turn, deal 500 HP damage to the enemy. Over, Sakura!"

Toosaka Rin's entire deck does not have a way to directly break through Gorgon, but it is not necessary to break through the servant to win.

"I'll make it up to you later. Forgive me, Sakura, this is the last time I can beat you."

The magic bullet in Rin Toosaka's hand made the final judgment.

Matou Sakura LP 750 → LP 250 → LP 0!

Chapter 128: Shirou Emiya: In short, a partner of justice!

Rin Tohsaka successfully defeated her sister and took third place! With less than an hour left until the end of the preliminaries, the remaining players have already been confirmed, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the rankings will likely remain relatively stable. We can congratulate the four players who have secured their spots in the finals in advance. Congratulations!

Sakura Matou flew backwards, and the stars representing the scores scattered all over the ground.

Toosaka Rin rushed over and helped her up. Since it was not a dark duel, Matou Sakura was just weak for a while and was not seriously injured.

"I still can't beat my sister after all."
