"Teacher, shouldn't we stop this from happening?"
Yuanban Shichen had a headache. He had prevented Gilgamesh from meeting Lu Li because he had seen Gilgamesh's wicked character.
Because he knew that although Lu Li appeared polite and courteous, he was an extremely arrogant person at heart.
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, was also extremely arrogant.
When two arrogant people meet, conflict is inevitable.
"I want to stop it too, but how?"
Both of them are old men; one is an old magician, and the other is an old heroic spirit.
"Fight! Fight! If we lose, I will do my best to assist Lu Li; if we win, we will fight for the Holy Grail with all our might."
Yuan Banshi had already planned it out. He bet on both sides, so that whether he won or lost, he wouldn't lose out.
He couldn't afford to offend either of them, and he was even considering giving up.
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly: "So you're imitating my magic trick? But with your paltry skills, how long can you last?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
A large number of magical artifacts were fired at Lu Li.
Lu Li also controlled these demonic swords to meet them.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!
The weapons of both sides collided in mid-air and then fell to the ground, destroying many warehouses and containers in the vicinity.
"Waaaaah!"
Weber was so frightened that he covered his head.
Clang!
Rider swung his sword and knocked the incoming weapon away.
"Oh my! This is truly a rare sight! As a Master, to personally fight a Servant and not be at a disadvantage is simply unbelievable."
"Hey, Saber, just who is your Master?"
Rider is very curious now, because logically speaking, there should be almost no magicians who can compete with Servants.
"I cannot tell you the origin of my Master, Rider. I can only tell you that my Master is the strongest man in the world."
"Oh? Even the King of Knights praises him so highly, so that means his strength might even surpass yours?"
Although Rider may seem reckless, he is extremely perceptive and can deduce information from Saber's few words.
Saber said calmly, "That's right! My strength is less than one-tenth of Master's."
Saber didn't mind the fact that Lu Li's strength had been revealed, because for Lu Li, these people simply couldn't see the full extent of their Master's power.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're being too modest! Your ability level is S-rank. If your strength isn't even a tenth of his, then what are we?"
Rider didn't take Saber's words seriously at all. He could barely believe that she was on par with him, but to say that she was more than ten times stronger than Saber was just too exaggerated. There was no way that strong a human could exist in the world.
Lan240cer quickly ran to Kenneth and deflected the incoming weapon for him.
"My lord, are you alright?"
Kenneth, his face grim, roared, "Useless trash! To lose so badly! You've made me, as your Master, lose all face!"
"I am so sorry!"
Lancer knelt on one knee before Kenneth. This time, he had indeed lost, and lost badly. He had nothing to say.
"Shh!"
Lu Li's sword knocked down all the golden treasures.
Just then, the sword that was originally on the ground suddenly moved and shot towards Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh noticed this and quickly jumped up to dodge.
Clang!
The streetlights beneath Jin Shanshan's feet were cut into several pieces.
The golden glitter landed on the ground.
"To think that I, who should be looked up to, am forced to stand on the same land as you, is an unforgivable sin!"
Gilgamesh was enraged. With a wave of his hand, even more Gate of Babylon were released.
"This amount..."
"What an exaggeration!"
Everyone else was astonished by what they saw; there were just too many Noble Phantasms.
Lu Li smiled upon seeing this, and with a wave of his hand, even more magical swords than the golden ones appeared.
Everyone was stunned again:
"How is this possible... the number of these guys is even more outrageous!!"
Chapter 164 This is truly spectacular!
"Do you think these pieces of junk can compare to my Noble Phantasm?"
Gilgamesh said dismissively that the treasures he collected from the Gate of Babylon were the finest treasures, far superior to ordinary weapons.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Whether it can be compared or not, we'll know once we try."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
Both sides fired their weapons at each other simultaneously, like a barrage of swords.
Clang clang clang—!
All the weapons clashed and sprayed outwards, and the others could barely keep themselves from being hit and killed.
Rider exclaimed, "That's truly spectacular!"
When Kiritsugu Emiya saw this, he felt it was a good opportunity.
Both Saber and Saber's Master are a bit too overpowered; they want to secure victory.
The best solution is to take down Saber's Master first.
Kiritsugu Emiya aimed his scope at Lu Li.
call out----!
A sword shot straight toward Kiritsugu Emiya.
Kiritsugu Emiya's pupils contracted, and he quickly rolled to the side.
boom----! !
The spot where I had just been standing suddenly exploded.
Emiya Kiritsugu felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing it.
"Damn it! How did they find me?"
After being discovered by Lu Li, he took advantage of the chaos to secretly move from his previous location. The other party had such a precise judgment of his location.
Moreover, how is it possible for the opponent to be able to keep an eye on me while fighting Archer?
He dared not make the slightest move. The other party had just given him a warning. If the other party had shot one-tenth of the swords around him here, he would definitely not have been able to escape.
Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at his Command Seals. Should he summon his Servant?
No, there are already many Servants here. If I summon more, the situation will become more complicated and it will be very disadvantageous for me.
Kirei Kotomine reported what he had seen to Tokimitsu Tohsatsu.
Upon hearing this, Tokimitsu realized, "So it's that magic trick."
"Teacher, do you know this magic trick?"
"Yes, I've seen him use it, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
He witnessed Lu Li teaching this magic trick to Ying. He originally thought it was just a simple trick to get by, but he never expected it to be so powerful.
That makes sense, though; no magician can be simple, no magic trick is ever easy.
Kirei Kotomine said, "However, teacher, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Gilgamesh to display his ultimate Noble Phantasm in front of everyone like this?"
It's not just inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate that someone wouldn't know the exact time of the journey.
But what could he do? Use a Command Spell?
Command Spells can only be used three times; each use reduces the limit and will also harm Gilgamesh.
If he doesn't use it, his original advantage will be much smaller.
He is not the kind of person who places his hopes on others; since he can strive for something himself, he naturally wants to take the initiative to do so.
Lancer's Master Kenneth's voice rang out: "Lancer, Saber's condition has improved, and her stats have returned to normal. Go and take her down."
"My sovereign!"
Lancer's expression immediately changed.
"What? You want to disobey my orders?"
"No, it's just... Saber's Master is currently in battle, so going to deal with Saber now would be seen as taking advantage of her vulnerability."
"Taking advantage of someone in distress? If you were strong enough, why would I need to take advantage of someone in distress? If you possessed the strength of Saber before, why would I need to take advantage of someone in distress? Isn't it all because you're too useless!"
He felt a strong sense of crisis upon seeing that both Lu Li and Saber possessed such formidable strength.
Such individuals must be eliminated first.
"I command you to kill Saber immediately!"
"...obey!"
Even though Lancer was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
Rider saw Saber's relaxed expression: "Saber! You don't seem worried about your Master at all?"
"No need to worry, no matter who the opponent is, they will not be a match for Master."
suddenly!
A long spear thrust at Saber from behind.
Saber sensed it and quickly dodged.
"｀々Lancer?!"
Saber's expression changed slightly when she saw the person who attacked her; she hadn't expected that man to attack her at this moment.
Lancer, with a pained and struggling expression, said, "Saber, my lord demands that I take your head."
Upon hearing this, Saber immediately understood that the other party had come under orders from their Master.
At this moment, Kenneth's voice rang out: "Wave Velvet, I can overlook your crime of theft, but you must have Rider cooperate with Lancer to kill Saber. You have also seen the power of Saber and Saber's Master. They are undoubtedly our strongest enemies."
Weber Velvet hesitated upon hearing Kenneth's words, but there was no doubt that Kenneth was right.
Saber is already so powerful, so her Master must be just as strong.
If Saber is killed, the other party will lose the right to be a Master. Killing either of them would be the most advantageous option.
Weber looked at Rider.
"Although I don't approve of Lancer's Master's behavior, there is some truth to what he said."
Rider patted Waver on the shoulder: "You are the Master, this decision is yours."
After a moment's hesitation, Waver nodded: "Although it may seem like taking advantage of someone in distress, this is the Holy Grail War. Mercy will not bring victory. Rider, you will cooperate with Lancer to deal with Saber!"
Chapter 165 Unleashing Divine Power
Rider nodded and smiled at Waver, saying, "Don't be ashamed of this. Although I admire Saber, she is still our enemy."
"If you only pursue fairness without considering the gap in strength, then you are not a king, but a fool."
"A real war is not a game where you send out a certain number of soldiers and I send out a certain number of soldiers, and then we fight head-on to see who wins."
