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

[Fanatical] Defense: 1000.

Keiko emerged from the shadows, this was the first time she appeared in a defensive posture.

"Do you want to rely on the effect of Material Destruction to block Minamoto no Raikou's attack?"

Illya saw what Jiang You was thinking and said, "You won't win if you just passively defend like this."

"As long as you hold on, you will always find an opportunity."

Jiang You didn't have to defeat Illya, but he couldn't lose too badly.

"[Fanatical] Effect: Remove the materials and destroy the Servant on your field! Delusional Heart Sound!"

"It's really not fun to only be able to fight for such a short time each time!"

Jin Shi sighed as he looked at the hand grabbing him. He also wanted to experience the feeling of those iron blocks moving on their own. The roaring sound fascinated him.

"Will have the opportunity next time."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Minamoto no Raikou knew that he would inevitably work with Jiang You, and there would be many opportunities for Sakata Kintoki to appear in the world. However, if she knew that Kintoki was planning to join a biker gang, she would probably make a scene again.

The ineffective [Minamoto no Raikou] and [Sakata Kintoki] were destroyed by Lianlian and sent to the graveyard. This left [Kyoushinko] with only two materials left, enough to block three attacks.

"Finally, I covered the backcourt with two cards, ending my turn!"

There is also a [Stealth Change] card in Jiang You’s cemetery, so it is relatively easy to survive.

But how to win? When Jiang You feels it is necessary, he should shout "Shashengyuan, save me!"

166

Chapter 166: Illya, don’t blame me for being mean.

"It's my turn to draw a card!"

Illya replenished her hand with a card.

"Right at this moment!"

Jiang You opened one of the covered cards in the backcourt.

"I activate [Ten Thousand Symbols Will Break the Rules] and transfer control of Minamoto no Raikou to myself!"

At the beginning of this round, the BUFF of [Minamoto no Raikou] that was not affected by the effects of other cards had disappeared. Jiang You decisively snatched control of [Minamoto no Raikou], but there was no [Oeyama] servant in his graveyard, otherwise the effect would be better.

"I actually betrayed Illya again!" Minamoto no Raikou's pupils trembled. She had never expected that in only three appearances, she would become an obstacle to Illya twice. She was almost heartbroken and cried, "I am simply the most irresponsible mother in the world!"

"No, it's not that serious."

Jiang You felt a little pressure from Minamoto no Raikou. This guy was like a child in some situations: extremely possessive and easily hurt.

But this did not prevent Jiang You from pressing on with his victory. Since his favorability was already very low, he didn't mind being a little more presumptuous, so that he could see the servant's interesting reaction: "Also, you are not Illya's mother. Her mother is Irisviel, who has white hair and red eyes like Illya. Don't let her worry about it. After this is over, I will..."

Because of Illya, Minamoto no Raikou couldn't really fight Jiang You, and she couldn't refute what Jiang You said. So, in grief and anger, Minamoto no Raikou really cried.

"...?"

Toosaka Rin said that she no longer understood this world.

"Don't bully Lai Guang!"

Illya was having a headache. Neither of her two servants was a worry. Jiang You was a saint when he was nice, but incredibly petty when he was mean. Ever since Minamoto no Raikou refused to let him call her "Mom," his attitude had completely changed.

"Rai Guang took great care of me. I really called her mom."

"Sakura, why don't we just go."

Toosaka Rin also began to have a headache. She felt that the Holy Grail War summoning ceremony was not to summon comrades, but to summon servants for blind dates (recognition of relatives).

"I can't stay in this lousy place for another second!"

"Illya, you really... I wish Jintoki was half as sensible as you."

The weather turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant. This guy's emotions came and went quickly.

"Oh, as expected, the favorability has dropped again. But, this thing should be called hatred value now, right?"

Anyway, it was not a positive number, so Jiang You didn't care.

"It seems that hatred value won't give any rewards, so it can only be used for entertainment."

Seeing Jiang You saying strange things again, Illya quickly started her own actions to avoid irritating her servant again.

"First, the effect of [Snow City] adds a [Sera] from the deck to your hand!"

Illya glanced at the only Irisviel card in her deck. She really wanted to see her mother, but ultimately decided not to search for her. After all, the effect wasn't very practical, and Minamoto no Raikou wasn't in good shape.

"I Normal Summon [Sera] and activate [Sera]'s effect to add an [Illya] from my deck to my hand!"

【Sera】Attack power 1000.

"The effect of [Heaven's Clothes] in the Graveyard! Banish [Illya] in the Graveyard! Special Summon myself to the field!"

【Clothes of Heaven】Attack power 1500.

"Then I'll level up these two cards here, 2+4=6! Special Summon [Illya (Cloak of Heaven)]!"

【Illya (Clothes of Heaven)】

Attack damage: 2500 → 3000.

"[Illya (Cloak of Heaven)]'s effect: When this card is successfully summoned, Special Summon a Servant of 4 or lower from the Graveyard! I will summon [Serenity]!"

【Silence】Attack power 1500.

Jingmi landed lightly on the ground. When she found herself in Illya's battle area, she could feel her panic even through the mask.

"Master, I'm sorry..."

A voice as thin as a mosquito's whisper came from Jing's mouth, "I don't want this to happen."

Well, the servants seem to attach great importance to this aspect. Not every servant changes his Master as casually as Red A.

"And then I Special Summon myself!"

The second Illya appeared, but this Illya was not like the dull-eyed replica. Her temperament seemed more integrated, and her body was more fragile, like an ordinary girl. She seemed frightened and looked around hurriedly.

【Illya】Attack power 1500.

"I will liberate myself and Special Summon [Minamoto no Raikou] from the deck!"

Illya thought it would be a clone without intelligence like before, so she didn't pay attention. It was too late for her to shut up.

That Illya looked quite frightened when she saw the light of liberation emanating from her body.

"Wait a minute!"

But it was too late. In the light of her disappearance, the second replica, Minamoto no Raikou, appeared. By this point, the three Illyas and the three Minamoto no Raikou were completely consumed.

【Minamoto no Raikou】Attack power 3000.

"...Just now, did I speak?"

Illya's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. She had participated in quite a few duels, and it should be common sense that the second body was a mindless copy.

"Looks like there are more characters from other works that have appeared."

Jiang You had previously encountered Mashu, who was playing Chapter 6, but he had no idea how far along they were now. Similarly, he couldn't be sure if Kiara Sesshōin was a character from CCC or FGO.

"That's probably Illya from 'Magical Girl Illya', right?"

Jiang You actually wanted to say that his favorite character was Illya in "Magic Illya", but since this had to do with Illya's favorability, he swallowed his words back.

"What the hell is a magical girl?!"

Illya had some knowledge of anime and comics, but she didn't quite understand such frivolous things.

"And why do you know this too?! How much strange knowledge do you have in your head?"

"I equip myself with [Spider Slash]!"

The famous sword Spider Cut appeared in Illya's hand. She had no experience in swordsmanship and swung it twice, almost cutting herself.

"careful!"

Seeing that Illya was about to hurt herself (she wouldn't), Minamoto no Raikou quickly said with concern, "If little Illya wants to learn, mommy can teach you!"

【Illya (Clothes of Heaven)】

3000 → 3500.

"Never mind! Let's enter the battle phase. I will attack Minamoto no Raikou first!"

Minamoto no Raikou opened his arms and faced Illya's blade without any resistance. She had long wanted to leave Jiang You's field.

River tour LP 1050 → LP 550.

"Next is [Silence]'s attack!"

Illya commanded Tranquility to attack Zealot.

"[Fanatical]'s defense is only 1000, and any servant that has fought against [Serenity] will be destroyed immediately! So, there will be two destruction effects in total!"

"When the effect of [Fanatical Bead] is destroyed by a battle effect, you can remove an Excess Material as a replacement! Twice in total!"

At this point, Kuang Xinzi became a blank slate without any effect.

"It's really not Master Jingji, even a gentle attack is so deadly."

Because of Jingmi's poisonous body, Kuang Xinzi felt severe pain, but instead of getting angry, she looked at Jingmi with admiration.

However, Jingmi was still in a state of self-blame and did not respond to her.

"Finally, Minamoto no Raikou's attack!"

Then, the second body, Minamoto no Raikou, launched a final attack, sending Kyoninko into the graveyard.

Jiang You looked at the [Support Shot] in the backcourt. This thing had no effect because of the presence of Illya in the Heavenly Clothes form.

"I will cover this card to the backfield and end my turn."

Illya has three servants in the frontcourt with full health, and a covered card in the backcourt, so she has a huge advantage.

"My turn—"

Jiang You looked at the scene, wondering whether he needed to use the destined draw to summon [Kiara Sesshōin] to clear the field directly. In this case, as long as the backfield was not [Origin Bullet], he could directly win by pulling out the Celestial Cloth form or Minamoto no Raikou from Illya's graveyard.

Jiang You gave up this wonderful idea. He felt that at this time, he should let Illya win the game. After all, losing would obviously increase her favorability. He decided not to cheat in front of Illya.

"Draw a card!"

This card was a reward for Matou Shinzo's defeat. [Cursed Arm], it seems fate intended for him to lose.

"I……"

Jiang You was just about to take the shot and make a dignified move, but he found that the [Sound the Death Knell] card lit up - there was no corresponding card in his deck.

There were four 2-star [Hundred Faces] in the graveyard, one 1-star [Tranquility], and this [Cursed Arm] in my hand, for a total of twelve stars, matching the star rank of the Holy Roman. It was needless to say who could be summoned.

How could the player resist after obtaining a powerful new card? Jiang You immediately gave up the idea of ​​letting Illya win and decisively chose to summon.

"Illya, don't blame me for being mean!"

This is a card beyond Illya's knowledge, and it is different from what Jiang You had agreed upon before.

"I activate [Toll the Death Knell], banishing all [Hassan] in my hand and graveyard, and Ritual Summon [Old Man of the Mountain] from my deck!"

At sunset, melodious bells echoed. White feathers floated in the air, representing not holiness, not peace, but death!

A sword mark cut through the space, and a dark blue flame burned on the scar in the space, burning open a passage to the underworld.

The Servant of the Dark Servant stepped out with a great sword in hand, coming to announce death!

【Mountain Hermit】

Assassin 12 stars with 4000 attack power!

167

Chapter 167 [The Old Man of the Mountain]

"This, this is the same attack power as that Servant of Rome!"

As far as Illya knew, Romulus was the only Servant with this level of base attack power, and a Servant's star rating largely reflected its strength. A Twelve Star Servant couldn't be anything simple.
