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

"Finally, I cover two cards in the backfield! End my turn!"

Toosaka Rin held two cards in her hand and handed the turn to Illya.

"You still have a chance to trigger the [Gem] magic to restore your own health and consume my health. Why don't you use it?"

Illya realized that there was something wrong with Toosaka Rin's actions. She must have at least one [Gem] magic in her hand, and the [Gem Necklace] could pull another servant to build a defense line. There was definitely something wrong.

Soon, Illya focused her attention on the [Gem Sword Zelrich]. As the strongest magician in the world, the Jewel Sword's ceremonial attire must be something extraordinary, and it was obviously related to this.

"In that case, let's get rid of it as soon as possible! I activate the Spell Card [Unfulfilled Promise]!, and send one [Emiya Kiritsugu] from my hand to the Graveyard. I add one [Snow Castle] from my Deck to my hand. Using Emiya Kiritsugu's effect, I add one [Origin Bullet] to my hand!"

Lao Si was sent to the graveyard again and again. It was really dramatic to see him in both sides' decks.

"If I could play cards, I would definitely get a copy of [Emiya Kiritsugu]!"

Some viewers said so.

Chapter 135 Minamoto no Raikou: Illya, it’s mom.

"[Origin Bullet] effect, destroy the [Gem Sword]!"

"Don't even think about it! [Gem Sword] effect! When the enemy activates its effect, you can throw a [Gem] magic card on the field into the Graveyard! This effect is negated and destroyed! And this is considered to be casting a [Gem] magic card on the field!"

As expected, Rin Tohsaka had a hidden trick up her sleeve when she was battling Sakura Matou; the jewel sword had other hidden effects. After all, apart from Jiang You, no one else could see the effects of their opponent's cards, so whether they could counterattack or not depended entirely on luck.

Of course, if there are any inherent skills such as danger perception, it may be effective.

Toosaka Rin LP 2500 → LP 2750.

Illya LP 3500 → LP 3250.

"I see. [Gem] magic is used as ammunition?"

After knowing the effect, Illya felt relieved. In this case, the effect of [Gem Sword] would only last once at most.

"In that case, I will send [Lizzelite] to the Graveyard and Special Summon [Cloak of Heaven] from the Deck in Defense Position!"

【Clothes of Heaven】Defense: 1200.

“Isn’t it actually ineffective?”

Illya's Celestial Cloth form had appeared many times, and Tōsaka Rin had done her homework. Even if it was destroyed, it could banish Lizelle and then reappear. Those magicians who had fought Illya exclaimed that she was invincible.

Without mentioning the action, Illya continued her actions: "In that case, I activate [Mysterious Killer], send a Servant from Kazu to the Graveyard, and add a Servant card related to [Minamoto no Raikou] or [Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings] to my hand. If the Servant sent to the Graveyard is [Oeyama]'s Servant, an additional related Equipment Spell Card will be added to my hand. I will send [Shuten-doji] to the Graveyard..."

"It's now!"

Toosaka Rin didn't want this one-for-three card to be successfully activated, so she immediately blocked it, and another gem magic was sent to the graveyard.

"I activate the effect of [Gem Sword]! Discarding cards from your hand negates this effect!"

Toosaka Rin LP 2750 → LP 3000.

Illya LP 3250 → LP 3000.

"In that case, I activate the Field Spell Card [Snow City]!"

After successfully consuming all of Toosaka Rin's ammunition, Illya activated her field magic card. The snow-covered castle filled the entire duel space, and the audience felt the biting cold wind firsthand.

But the scene was still hot.

"[Snow City] effect..."

"Don't think about it!"

With no cards left in her hand, Rin Tohsaka opened the cover card in the backfield, "[Origin Bomb]! Negate the effect of [Snow Castle] and destroy it!"

Special bullets tore through the castle, leaving long scratches in space along their trajectories. The huge castle collapsed layer by layer, turning into ownerless magic that disappeared into the air.

"Because sending it to the graveyard refreshes the card's status, the graveyard effect of [Snow City] is activated!"

Illya has never activated the graveyard effect of [Snow Castle] in this world line, so Toosaka Rin doesn't know about it.

"Special Summon an Einzbern Servant from the Graveyard!"

"When did Einzbern appear in your cemetery?"

Toosaka Rin clearly remembered that the only servants in Illya's graveyard were Emiya Kiritsugu, Lizzelite, and Shuten-douji. This effect shouldn't be activated.

At Illya's summons, the maid with a cold face fell into the battlefield in the form of a ****.

"She's also an important family member of mine! Although it's not written on the card name, the rules state that [Lizzelite] can be considered a Servant of the [Einzbern] card name!"

Unfortunately, the audience has already seen more exaggerated sizes and did not pay much attention to Lijielit.

"The conditions are Celestial Cloth + an Einzbern Servant other than Tuner. I will Tune the two and Special Summon Illya (Celestial Cloth)!"

【Illya (Clothes of Heaven)】

Attack power 2500.

A girl in pure white, dressed in an elegant dress, slowly descended from the sky, looking noble and holy.

"No, no, no, how is this holy? It looks like fun!"

Toosaka Rin was inspired.

"Where's the fun in that! And who are you talking to? If you say another word, I'll beat you to death!"

This is the face of the Einzbern family, the same dress as Justisia's. Illya can't stand seeing Toosaka Rin arrange it like this.

"Anyway, my own effect is to Special Summon a Servant of four stars or less from the Graveyard upon a successful summon. The one I'm going to summon is this rotten fellow with a head full of righteousness—[Emiya Kiritsugu]!"

The Magician Killer appears under the cover of smoke.

【Emiya Kiritsugu】Attack power 1600.

"Why at the competition...?"

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at the huge crowd of spectators around him, and for a moment he didn't realize that he was still in Jiang You's Noble Phantasm. When he wanted to hide in an inconspicuous corner, he found that he was summoned in the form of a card.

"What is Caster up to this time? Is he planning to declare war on the entire magic world?"

Emiya Kiritsugu instantly identified the culprit, as other Servants wouldn't be so insane. Even as a magus killer, he had originally intended to follow the rules of magecraft secrecy.

As for why I said originally, it is because after Jiang You was summoned, many things could no longer go according to the original thinking.

"How many people's decks am I in?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the two duels and found that they were all his acquaintances, and he unconsciously lit a cigarette.

Illya had no intention of talking to Emiya Kiritsugu and continued with her actions: "Don't forget, I still have one Normal Summon left to perform. I'll Normal Summon myself!"

【Illya】Attack power 1500.

"This was my first time using this effect. I guess my fate with Berserker was sealed then."

This is the first time Illya has used the effect of freeing herself from the deck to summon. She had previously tried to use it in the battle with Gilgamesh, but was unfortunately interrupted.

Minamoto no Raikou was very pleased with the words "it was a predestined fate" and she looked very satisfied.

"I will liberate myself! Special Summon a Servant below eight stars from your deck. The one I will summon is the strongest mysterious killer of the Heian period - Minamoto no Raikou!"

Purple lightning swept across the entire venue, and then a long sword abruptly dispelled the thunderstorm, and a majestic female warrior descended in the thunder!

【Minamoto no Raikou】

Berserker 8 stars with 3000 attack power.

"Because the effects of servants summoned by this effect are negated, [Minamoto no Raikou] has no effect at this moment. I'm sorry, Raikou, I can't let you use your full strength."

But this look did not last long. Minamoto no Raikou's majesty was soon overshadowed by maternal love, and she turned to Illya tenderly.

"It doesn't matter. After all, it's already impressive that Illya could easily let me appear. No other Berserker is more suitable for this effect than me. Also, call me mom."

"what?"

He certainly didn't think he had anything to do with Minamoto no Raikou. It was just that the look Minamoto no Raikou gave Illya made him feel a little dangerous, so he decided to help Illya persuade him.

"You and Illya lived in completely different times..."

"Even if you are little Illya's biological father, I will not let you off easily if you say such things."

Minamoto no Raikou stroked his scabbard, a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Do you know what Illya likes to eat? Do you know what time Illya goes to bed? Do you know how many times Illya tossed and turned in her sleep last night? Do you know how much Illya weighed today? Do you know how many bends there are in the Command Seals on Illya's body? Do you know—"

"——And I know everything."

Emiya Kiritsugu's hand trembled slightly as he held his cigarette. This crazy woman was indeed Berserker. He couldn't be active in this timeline, and he was worried that saying more would irritate her. He could only hope that Illya in this timeline could withstand it.

136

Chapter 136 We generally call this effect a cook.

Actually, Illya doesn't really resent Minamoto no Yorimitsu's almost pathological possessiveness. After all, you can't expect the Einzberns, who were born without parents, to have any proper values. Besides, Illya herself is quite possessive, otherwise the original story wouldn't have made Emiya into a puppet and locked him in the basement.

"Enter the battle phase! First, [Emiya Kiritsugu] attacks [Tōsaka Rin]!"

[Emiya Kiritsugu] has the effect of increasing the attack power by 1000 points when attacking a specific class, and [Tousaka Rin] just meets this condition.

Toosaka Rin was completely unable to compete with Emiya Kiritsugu and was shot directly through the head.

Toosaka Rin LP 3000 → LP 1600.

"As expected of the Magician Killer! Her attack power at this moment is approaching that of a top-tier Heroic Spirit. Illya still has a total of 5500 points of field attack on her field. Can Tohsaka Rin survive this trial?"

"Next, [Minamoto no Raikou] will defeat [Emiya]!"

Minamoto no Raikou, with an attack power of 3000, charged at Red A. Even with the attack power of the jewel sword, Red A was no match for him.

As long as [Emiya] is destroyed, Illya will win.

Red A's sword collided with the katana in Minamoto no Raikou's hand.

"Right now, I activate [Exploding Ruby Magic]! Designate a Servant and increase its attack power by 500!"

Toosaka Rin opened her last cover card.

[Emiya] Attack: 2500 → 3000

The same attack power should have been sent to the graveyard at the same time, but Red A survived tenaciously.

"[Ruby Magic]'s effect: Red Ace cannot be destroyed by battle, and if it successfully destroys a Servant in battle, I draw a card!"

"What a troublesome effect." Illya's highest-ranking servant was sent to the graveyard, but she didn't seem too disappointed. Minamoto no Raikou, who was completely blank, couldn't exert his strength.

"But this actually helped me a lot!"

The last Trap Card jumped onto the field from Illya's hand.

"Trap Card [Infinite Martial Arts]! When a Servant related to [Minamoto no Raikou] on your side of the field is destroyed, you can activate this card directly from your hand! Special Summon a Servant related to [Minamoto no Raikou] from your hand's Graveyard to your side of the field! And Special Summon a Servant related to [Oeyama] from your opponent's Deck's Graveyard on your side of the field."

【Minamoto no Raikou】Attack power 3000.

[Shuten-doji] 8-star Assassin with 2800 attack power.

"Ah~ Hate, hate, it's full of the awful smell of cow and milk!"

A little girl with a pair of red devil horns appeared on Rin Tohsaka's field. Facing Minamoto no Raikou, who was more than 30 centimeters taller than her, she covered her nose with her hands and showed a look of disgust.

"What a disgusting Noble Phantasm! Why do I have such a connection with this cow?"

"On the contrary, I'm quite grateful for this Noble Phantasm, because—I can chop off your head again!"

Minamoto no Raikou, who was summoned by her own trap card, was not sealed, so she is now terrifyingly strong!

"Because the Servants summoned by this card's effect will not be affected by the effects of [Infinite Martial Arts] or the Servants summoned by [Infinite Martial Arts] until the end of the next turn! Therefore, [Minamoto no Raikou] and [Shuten-doji] will only be affected by each other's effects! The battle continues!"

The ill-fated relationship between Shuten-doji and Minamoto no Raikou will not last long. Minamoto no Raikou launched an attack again. The gap of 200 points of attack power in the rules of the duel is like a chasm. The purple lightning in Minamoto no Raikou's hand attacked Shuten-doji in an unstoppable manner.

"I hope to see that little golden guy next time I come out to play."

Shuten-doji licked his lips as he faced the charging Minamoto no Raikou, revealing a malicious smile. "If it's my deck, that little guy must have it too, right? Then he's also mine!"

"Die!"

Minamoto no Raikou cut off Shuten-doji's head.

"Minamoto no Raikou's effect: After destroying an enemy Servant in battle, add an Equip Spell Card from your deck to your hand. I'm going to add [Dojikiri Yasutsuna]! And equip it to [Minamoto no Raikou]."

Minamoto no Raikou: Attack: 3000 → 3000

Minamoto no Raikou accepted his most comfortable sword and nodded with satisfaction. The attack power display remained unchanged, and the effects of the Doujikiri were not yet effective.
