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

Jiang You, who had received Minamoto no Raikou Manzo, nodded with satisfaction, "I activate [Mysterious Killer], send a Servant from Kazu to the Graveyard, and add a Servant card related to [Minamoto no Raikou] or [Raikou 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 send [Shuten-douji] to the Graveyard, and add a [Sakata Kintoki] and a [Dojikiri Yasutsuna] to my hand."

"[Sakata Kintoki]'s effect allows him to summon directly without a sacrifice when [Minamoto no Raikou] is on the field!"

The axe fell with golden thunder, and the strong servant grasped it in his hand and made a powerful appearance.

【Sakata Gintoki】Attack power 2500.

"Hey Boss, we meet again. This time our opponent is actually a knight?!"

Jintoki looked at the Knight of the Upright with excitement. This sturdy, humanoid metal shell made his blood boil. It was much more eye-catching than Tristan. He didn't even glance at the melancholic red-haired handsome man beside him. "It's so Golden! I want one too!"

"Are you going to do it?"

Full body armor can be said to be a man's romance (one of them). After hearing what Jin Shi said, Jiang You also felt a little itchy. Although he had never tried it, Jiang You felt that he could indeed bring elements from each script into other scripts.

"Alright, I'll steal a few of them after I defeat them. When I can summon you directly, I'll give you one."

"Oh—thank you so much!"

Despite his excitement, Jin Shi didn't forget to thank him. He looked at Jiang You and said, "You are... another servant of the boss's Master Illya, right? I think we get along very well! You are very Golden!"

Seeing that his other child was so easily bribed by Jiang You, Minamoto no Raikou showed a very sad expression, as if he saw his own child learning bad things from dishonest peers.

[Favorability rewards [Sakata Kintoki]*1 [Mysterious Killer]*1 have been sent to your mailbox, please check it.]

As expected, it is easier to gain a man’s favorability, and Jiang You easily obtained the corresponding card.

"Then the effect of [Sakata Kintoki] is to destroy a card on the field. I want to destroy the covered card in the backfield!"

The effect in the frontcourt is already very clear, so the backcourt is the one that needs special attention.

"How incredibly sad! It's another past I don't want to recall, tearing open the wounds of others over and over again. Your Noble Phantasm is truly evil."

Tristan's expression now showed genuine sadness, not the mocking sarcasm he'd displayed before. "I don't blame her, actually... To me, this is the Black Sails. I activated the trap card [Ship with Black Sails Heading This Way]. This is my end, the signal to put a pause on everything."

"This card can only be activated by destroying a [Tristan] on the field."

Tristan vomited black blood, which was a symptom of poisoning. If it weren't for the [Reversal Blessing] in the backfield, he would have died.

"After activating, send a card from the top of your deck to the Graveyard. If it's a Servant, Special Summon it. If it's a Spell or Trap Card, select a Servant on the field and destroy it."

The card was revealed, revealing a Spell Card, [Unblessed Birth], which pays half its life and Special Summon a [Tristan] from the Deck. If a [Tristan] is in the Graveyard, it can be banished instead, destroying [Tristan]. However, it can't be used with [Reversed Blessing].

"Then I will destroy Minamoto no Raikou!"

Now the remaining cards on the field will not be destroyed by the effect, so Tristan chose Minamoto no Raikou, who has a higher destruction rate.

This is the disadvantage of having no intelligence. If he knew that Tristan would definitely not choose Minamoto no Raikou, the last card Jiang You drew at the beginning would also pop up at this time.

"Because [Minamoto no Raikou] was destroyed, I activated [Infinite Martial Arts] directly from my hand!"

187

Chapter 187 Tristan launches a blow of dignity!

"Use the effect of [Infinite Martial Arts] to Special Summon [Minamoto no Raikou] from the Graveyard and Special Summon [Shuten-doji] to your field!"

【Minamoto no Raikou】Attack power 3000.

【Shuten-doji】Attack power 2500.

"Ah~ It's quite lively this time. You're here too, little blondie."

Shuten-doji simply ignored Minamoto no Raikou's presence and stared straight at Sakata Kintoki.

"You're really wasting time here at this dairy cow. We've all died once before. It's a rare opportunity for us to come out, so stop being so stern. Enjoy life while you can, enjoy life while you can~"

Sakata Kintoki is very frustrated with Shuten's personality. Despite his appearance, he is actually a very innocent guy. And Shuten likes to see his face distressed by this.

"Don't be shy~"

"Shut up you bug!"

Minamoto no Raikou was worried that Jiang You had no place to vent his anger because of what he had forced upon her. She poured all her murderous intent towards Shuten-doji, "Kintoki, just pretend these noisy bugs don't exist. Mom will go clean up right away! So, Jiang You, what are you waiting for?"

Shuten-doji spotted Jiang You and realized the person commanding Minamoto no Raikou was a different person, even though they'd only seen her as a young girl the last time. She'd initially assumed the Noble Phantasm was from the same timeline as before. "It hasn't been that long, and you've already got a new master. It seems you're also a fickle person. And you're saying, as a mother, is this how you raise your children?"

Shuten-doji would not miss the opportunity to attack Minamoto no Raikou.

"alright."

Jiang You originally wanted to chat with Shuten-doji to see if this guy could give him some cards, but now Jiang You had just got Minamoto no Raikou's card, so he decided to give her some face to avoid having it taken back.

"I equip [Dojikiri Yasutsuna] to [Minamoto no Raikou]. Since [Minamoto no Raikou] is currently unaffected by the effects of other cards, its attack power remains unchanged. Then, using the effect of [Dojikiri Yasutsuna], I send a [Ibaraki Douji] from my deck to the graveyard and draw a card."

Jiang You took a look at the cards in his hand, and found that none of them could take effect immediately.

"Enter the battle phase! Minamoto no Raikou attacks Shuten-doji!"

Minamoto no Raikou rushed towards Shuten-doji, and Doujikiri Yasuna waved back and forth in her hands, weaving a web of blades.

"Tsk, just because the numbers are a little off, there's no room for resistance?"

Shuten-doji could only watch himself being chopped into pieces.

The blessing bestowed upon Tristan by the Knight King converts damage into healing, and the Contaminated Holy Grail converts this healing into effect damage. As long as the [Contaminated Holy Grail] remains on the field, combat damage will take effect immediately!

Tristan LP 4000 → LP 3500.

"Minamoto no Raikou's effect: after killing the opponent's servant, add a related equipment magic card to your hand. The card I want to add is [Spider Cut]."

"Then [Sakata Kintoki] attacks [Knight of Rectification]!"

Anyway, [Tristan] will not be destroyed by the battle, so it is more appropriate to directly cause more damage.

"Oh! It's coming!"

Jin Shan leaped up and smashed the axe heavily on the head of the Knight of Justice. The gap between the quasi-first-class Heroic Spirit and the Knight of Justice was extremely obvious. This blow directly smashed the Knight of Justice's entire helmet into his chest.

Tristan LP 3500 → LP 2200.

"I equip [Spider Cutter] to [Minamoto no Raikou] and finally cover a cover card in the backfield, ending my turn."

Jiang You directly equipped [Spider Cutter]. Although the buff of [Minamoto no Raikou] that was not affected by other card effects would disappear on his next turn, the attack power would drop to 2000 due to the reversal of [Tainted Holy Grail]. However, the effect of destroying the Heroic Spirit that declared an attack still provided a lot of defensive capabilities.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Because of the [Tainted Holy Grail], at the start of the round, both players must recover 1000 LP points, which of course must be converted into damage."

As Jiang You reminded the other party, black mud also gushed out from the hole in the sky, splashing all over Jiang You and Tristan.

The overly realistic touch made Jiang You feel nauseous. For the sake of his physical and mental health, it would be better to use this thing less often.

River tour LP 4000 → LP 3000.

Tristan LP 2200 → LP 1200.

"It's so sad."

Tristan probably had nothing else to say. Frankly, Jiang You was tired of hearing it. He said that even if Tristan had reached the third level, he wouldn't have summoned him to help. "I actually lost to a timid and evil Servant like you, one who refused to reveal his true name. I have no face to go back to see the King."

It seems that the card Tristan drew cannot deal with Jiang You’s current situation, and he has given up.

"But your defeat is already certain."

Tristan looked towards Camelot. Magical power beyond everyone's comprehension rose from there, and the golden light almost illuminated half of the sky.

"Jiang You, since you mentioned that name, I'll call you that. I can see that your Noble Phantasm has a limited range, otherwise you wouldn't have to come before me in person to activate it."

What Tristan said was not wrong. In the abnormal Holy Grail War, the coverage of Jiang You's treasure was related to magic power. Now his magic power was completely provided by himself. Even if he signed a contract with Gudako, he could not directly cover the Lion King in Camelot City.

A golden torrent of magical power descended from the sky, swallowing up the village across the mountain. The golden light was so holy, like a blessing from heaven, but it also brought unspeakable fear and death.

"Over there in West Village!"

Matthew knew that under this level of attack, no one there could survive.

"Yes, this is my king's method!"

Tristan opened his eyes, a look of inexplicable sadness in them. Although he had always been like this, "I'm extremely glad it was me who came here. If Lancelot or Gawain had come, their direct troops would have become a flaw, but I only have the Knights of the Upright here!"

"All upright knights, listen up!"

The Knights of Justice are essentially android-like familiars that obey their commander's orders 100%.

"Here, commit suicide!"

The Knights of Justice cut off their heads one after another, and Tristan was the only enemy left in the East Village.

Next, another golden beam shot straight into the clouds. It wouldn’t be long before the second strike would be fully charged. This time, the target would be the East Village where everyone was.

"Your Noble Phantasm grants immunity to other damage during a Duel, right?"

Tristan smiled, a rare moment. This time, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the loyal king. "Then, I, Tristan, will attack Minamoto no Raikou!"

188

Chapter 188: Arash, your bonds are full, so don’t explode yet, let someone else take over.

Tristan attacked Minamoto no Raikou, and the arrows of vacuum intertwined into a moving chapter in an attempt to tear Minamoto no Raikou into pieces.

In a normal fight, he might have caused some trouble for Minamoto no Raikou, but in a duel, even a single point of attack power was an absolute advantage. Minamoto no Raikou's lightning shattered the thread of vacuum created by the sound of the piano and rushed towards Tristan.

Tristan LP 1200 → LP 0!

Tristan reduced his health to zero before the Lion King's treasure fell, forcing Jiang You to withdraw from the duel with him.

"Without your enemies, you will no longer be protected by your Noble Phantasm. I will not allow you to hinder my king! Disappear at my king's mercy!"

Tristan laughed loudly. This was the last thing he could do. Dark Yugi directly broke through the Lion King's protection and shattered Tristan's spiritual foundation.

"Such an inglorious exit is fitting for my current situation. At least... at least I fought for the King until the very end."

Tristan's body began to become transparent, his shattered spiritual foundation no longer able to support him in the world. With his last remaining strength, he looked at Jiang You and said, "I apologize for what I said before. Even if you only rely on your Noble Phantasm, you are qualified to fight the King. So, please leave here."

Tristan finally returned to Valhalla. Jiang You not only obtained a Tristan, but also received the blessing from the Lion King [Reversed Blessing].

It’s a pity that it’s stated above that it’s limited to the plot, and in fact it will be strengthened or weakened as the Lion King’s spiritual base changes.

This is understandable. Jiang You has relatively targeted cards to break through. If it were another servant, there would be almost no way to deal with this thing.

"There's an extremely strong magical reaction in the sky!"

Roman had been monitoring the situation around them. The Lion King's Noble Phantasm had already caused the instruments around him to sound a shrill alarm. This attack had already reached the divine realm. "The next attack is expected to arrive in less than two minutes. Ritsuka and Matthew, run away! This is beyond our control!"

"But, everyone here..."

Matthew looked at the village of the mountain people worriedly. The villagers here had welcomed them warmly and accepted the kindness of others. She would not be able to forgive herself if she stood by and watched.

"My Noble Phantasm..."

"Matthew! Although you have confirmed that your spiritual base belongs to Galahad, your Noble Phantasm still cannot be fully released!"

Roman didn't dare to bet on whether Matthew could break through at the last minute, as he had to be responsible for everyone's safety.

"We can't afford to gamble. With the speed of the Heroic Spirit, we should still have time to take Ritsuka away!"

Jiang You squinted his eyes at the situation. It was a classic desperate situation. Although for the protagonist, if Matthew decided to stay and use his Noble Phantasm to block the attack, it would definitely succeed. However, there was another solution.

"Just leave it to me."

The young man, covered in blood, staggered to the side of the group and forced an ugly smile with all his might, "Ah, what a shame! I said I would be good and protect everyone, but I didn't do it."

This is the origin of the Archer class. The great hero Arash, before Jiang You and his companions arrived to support him, was struck by Lancelot's Noble Phantasm at close range, sending him plummeting into a ravine. He barely managed to survive thanks to his sturdy build.

"As compensation, let me deal with this attack. My Noble Phantasm should be able to block it."

Arash possesses an extremely powerful treasure, but of course, the price is also very high. After releasing this treasure, his body will be directly torn into pieces and he will die on the spot.

"To be on the safe side, you should go to shelter first."

Jiang You has come here, so it is naturally impossible for him to let Arash explode like this, and he does not need to brush Arash's bond.

You know, his Arash has long been a warehouse manager, and there is no place for him in the team!

"Lancelot!"

At Jiang You's call, the black-armored knight rushed towards Arash.

"!?"

Arash didn't recognize Jiang You. He had thought the Servant standing with Fujimaru Ritsuka was an ally. Unexpectedly, it was someone from the Knights of the Round Table. Hearing this familiar name, Arash tensed up. He hadn't expected the enemy to have left yet.

Unfortunately, Arash was already injured, and Lancelot easily knocked him unconscious with the hilt of his sword.
