Use FGO to open the second dimension

"Is this also the clone of Assassin who fought with us before? I feel like the atmosphere seems a little different..." Mashu's eyes focused on the Assassin in front of her, with a hint of doubt on her face.

"This guy... is different. In the Fourth Holy Grail War that I know of, there was no such Servant."

El-Melloi II's vigilance was clearly very strong, and it was normal for him to be so when an unexpected existence appeared.

Not only him, but even Koizumi looked at him warily, but—

The other person gave me a very strange feeling, very similar to Archer in red clothes.

Even so, this is no reason for Koizumi to let his guard down.

"So, this is the [foreign object] you were looking for?"

Dr. Roman couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps. He's the reason why the events that should have happened in Fuyuki in 1994 were distorted and turned into a singularity. Even if this guy isn't the culprit, he must be involved."

El-Melloi II concluded.

Chapter 460: Sudden Lightning

"I have no reason to fight you. If you can just leave a path for me, I'll leave too."

The mysterious Assassin spoke slowly to El-Melloi II and the others in front of him, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

It was as if the person being surrounded was not him, but someone else. He was a little too calm.

"That won't do. I want you to explain clearly who you are and why you are here. We can say that this is the reason why we have worked so hard." As he spoke, El-Melloi II snorted coldly.

"I have no reason to respond to your request. If you insist, I will have no choice but to regard you as my enemy."

Saying so, the mysterious Assassin tightened the dagger in his hand and prepared for battle.

"It seems that this is the case. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to resort to violence."

As El-Melloi II spoke, the formation before him seemed to begin to change, clearly intended to trap the other party.

"There are no outsiders here anymore! So I can go fight now! I've been feeling really bad after seeing all the unpleasant things going on in Caster's workshop, and now I'm going to cause a real commotion!"

As he said this, Koizumi's face lit up with a cruel smile, and a flash of scarlet light flashed in his eyes.

A scarlet aurora burst out from Koizumi's hand and slowly transformed into a scarlet spear.

Koizumi had been wanting to take action for a long time, but because he was only a trump card, he couldn't act easily.

Now that Kenneth is not here, it is only natural for me to take action...

"Then Koizumi, you should take action too! First capture the target and incapacitate him, then force him to cooperate with us!"

El-Melloi II had no objection. The top priority now was to defeat the opponent quickly.

The corners of Gu Quan's mouth rose slightly, and a huge amount of magic power burst out from his body, and waves of air swept in all directions.

Just as Gu Quan was about to rush forward, a breath of air entered his sensing range, causing him to be slightly stunned.

"Everyone be careful! A new Servant reaction has been detected. It's heading straight towards you!"

Dr. Roman's voice echoed in Koizumi's ears, causing him to snort coldly. The Gungnir in his hand transformed into an aurora and flew towards the opponent, intending to at least injure him and leave him no chance to escape.

However, lightning strikes suddenly came from the front and quickly stopped Gungnir.

"Wait! This lightning strike carries a divine aura... Is it a divine Servant?"

Koizumi, who had no choice but to take Gungnir back, couldn't help but sigh. What a helpless situation.

"Damn it! Who on earth is it at this time...ah, could it be!" As if he had thought of something, a rare look of panic appeared on El-Melloi II's face. One had to admit that this expression on his face was really rare.

After all, he inherited Zhuge Kongming's power and has always been calm and composed.

It's like a mature guy exuding a childish aura, really...

Lightning flashed, with no sign of stopping. The dense lightning strikes bombarded the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, actually destroying it. It had to be admitted that the power of the attack would be increased with the divinity attached.

"Master, get down quickly!" Mashu quickly stood in front of Ritsuka and reminded him at the same time.

Youmu also quickly arrived in front of Koizumi, and slashed forward with the Bailou Sword wrapped in emerald green energy.

As if to cut through space, with just such a light slash, Youmu stopped the power of the lightning.

It seemed that the owner of the inverted lightning was not releasing it for the purpose of attacking, so Youmu looked very relaxed.

But this guy was truly despicable. At least Koizumi had already taken this to heart.

Me! Koizumi! I'm super vindictive!

"..." The mysterious Assassin realized that the restraint of the formation had disappeared, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

"Are you okay, Master?" Mashu had a puzzled look on her face and looked at Ritsuka behind her.

Ritsuka shook her head slightly, her eyes quickly looking towards the front, only then did she realize that Assassin seemed to be——

"Mashu! Assassin took the opportunity to escape!" Ritsuka frowned and said slowly.

"I had no choice. Even if I charged forward, I'd still get hurt. And Assassin is skilled at concealing his aura, so his magical aura has long since vanished. There's no way I could catch him..."

Koizumi sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"My golden lock formation was also destroyed by the lightning strike just now. Damn it..."

At this point, El-Melloi II couldn't help but reveal a look of distress on his face.

At this moment, the sound of wheels turning mixed with thunder approached rapidly, and a chariot pulled by two sturdy black sacred bulls soon appeared in front of Koizumi and others.

Lightning flashed under the galloping hooves of the black divine bull, and thunder resounded between the axles of the rolling chariot wheels.

The man standing on the chariot and driving it, holding the reins of the sacred bull with both hands, was a strong man about two meters tall, with solid muscles all over his body. He looked majestic and magnificent, with short red hair, a pair of red pupils, and a red cloak on his body.

Seeing this scene, the burly man smiled heartily and spoke slowly in his rough voice.

"Oh? Looks like the war has already begun. We seem a little late, kid."

"Huh? That's strange. I thought I would be the first one to find this place."

I saw a relatively thin young man riding on the chariot. His voice had a hint of loss and surprise, but both his voice and appearance showed that this young man was very immature.

Koizumi glanced at the boy in front of him, then glanced at El-Melloi II beside him.

While Koizumi couldn't help but feel amused, he didn't say much.

He had already guessed that this young man should be the young El-Melloi II.

"The other party should be Rider, but isn't that Master a little..." Ritsuka's mouth twitched fiercely, and she glanced at El-Melloi II beside her. She seemed to have noticed something.

"Indeed. The Servant should be Rider, but that Master..."

Mashu couldn't help but glance at El-Melloi II beside him, but didn't say much.

"What do you mean first, you idiot!"

El-Melloi II seemed to have finally been unable to tolerate it any longer and started cursing at Waver.

Chapter 461: The Dark History of El-Melloi II

"What do you mean first, you idiot!"

El-Melloi II seemed to have finally been unable to tolerate it any longer and started cursing at Waver.

"You should be well aware of how naive your method of identifying this place is! You wouldn't be so presumptuous as to think you can surpass other first-class Masters with just that trick, would you?"

"What, what are you doing! What are you saying all of a sudden..." Waver seemed a little frightened, but soon he looked at El-Melloi II with an unconvinced look and retorted.

Koizumi looked at the two men with a strange expression. What was this, the legendary "When I get ruthless, I even dare to scold myself"?

"Not just this time, from the beginning until now, you've only been blessed by luck, able to overcome difficulties time and time again! Yet, just because of the good results that happened to appear, you naively became overly confident in your own abilities! That's why you haven't made any progress at all! Don't you have any self-awareness? Huh!?"

As if he hadn't scolded enough, like a volcano erupting, El-Melloi II scolded Waver without any reason. It was the first time that Koizumi and the others saw El-Melloi II lose his composure like this.

Waver was also confused by El-Melloi II's nonsense and quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute! Why are you giving me this lecture right after we meet? Who are you? Are you the Caster master and servant they're talking about who kidnapped the child?!"

"You idiot! Can't you even observe the current situation?! How dare such a person leisurely participate in the Holy Grail War... Ah, really! Idiot! Idiot! What a big idiot! Just eat eel rice and die!"

El-Melloi II shouted loudly as if he was going crazy, leaving Mashu and Ritsuka dumbfounded.

Even Youmeng couldn't help but twitch her lips, but she quickly recovered. This had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, she wasn't the one who was embarrassed, so there was no need for her to remind the other party. Besides, her own Master seemed to enjoy it very much.

I have to admit that my Master is also a guy with a lot of bad taste... Youmu sighed inwardly.

I always have the same feeling as Youyouko-sama, because Youyouko-sama sometimes also likes to see other people's miserable plight.

Getting pleasure from the misery of others, this is what is called a pleasure-seeker... Youmu complained.

"Pfft..." Koizumi covered his mouth with one hand and his stomach with the other, trying hard to suppress a laugh.

"...How should I put it... Lord El-Melloi seems to have flipped a switch in some dire direction..."

Mashu couldn't help but reveal a strange look, and glanced slightly at Ritsuka beside him.

Li Xiang couldn't help but twitch his lips, "No one can tolerate their own dark history."

It can be seen that Ritsuka also noticed the abnormality of El-Melloi II and guessed the identity of El-Melloi II.

Otherwise, Ritsuka wouldn't have said such a thing, but after all, El-Melloi II had only experienced the beatings of society. If you look closely at the two of them, you can roughly see the similarities between them.

"You, you! What the hell do you mean? Besides, your attributes should be considered a Caster no matter how you look at it, right? I'm going to tell the supervisor that it's you who's causing trouble by disobeying the rules of the Holy Grail War!"

Hearing El-Melloi II say this, Waver couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

However, before Waver could continue, El-Melloi II shouted.

"Bullshit! Since you can see through the attributes of Servants, how come you can't see that I'm just a pseudo-Servant, you idiot! Ahhh, how shameful! The Command Seals are such a waste in the hands of a brat like you!"

"What, what, what...what is that simulacrum thing? Isn't it strange that there are two or three Caster classes among the servants? I haven't heard of it!" Waver's brain suddenly became inadequate.

But this is true. In a normal Holy Grail War, there is only one Servant for each class. The sudden appearance of Servant with duplicate classes is something that would make anyone feel overwhelmed.

"Okay, wait a minute, kid. Even if that guy is Caster, at least he's not the owner of this workshop."

Iskandar, who had been watching from the side for a long time, spoke slowly, stopping Waver who was about to continue bickering.

"Huh? W-why?" Weber was slightly stunned, then looked up at Iskandar.

"I came to this conclusion after seeing the traces left here. Neither side took advantage of the terrain, nor cared about the damage to the surroundings. Judging from these traces, the battle here wasn't one of one side attacking and the other defending. Rather, it was one side trying to prevent the other from escaping. Therefore, those who escaped and are now here aren't our original targets. We need to look for them elsewhere."

Iskandar slowly explained.

El-Melloi II's eyes suddenly lit up. Although a look of nostalgia lingered on his face, he forced himself to calm down and slowly nodded, saying, "Hmm, worthy of the King of Conquerors' strategic vision. He can actually see the big picture from the small details."

From El-Melloi II's tone, one could hear the deep respect and admiration, as if he had become a completely different person.

When interacting with Koizumi and the others, El-Melloi II placed himself on the same level as Koizumi and the others, but when speaking with Iskandar in front of him, the latter seemed to consciously lower his status by one level.

Koizumi's brows furrowed slightly, then he simply smiled. He could have guessed that El-Melloi II would behave this way. After all, Iskandar's charisma was indeed quite impressive. He was the legendary King of Conquerors after all.

"By the way, that bitter-faced guy over there." Iskandar turned his gaze to El-Melloi II in front of him.

"What...what happened?" El-Melloi II was suddenly frightened when Iskandar called him out.

"It seems like you've been picking on my boy ever since a while ago. Does that mean you're ready to fight me, the King of Conquerors?" As he spoke, Iskandar unleashed his aura without reservation, startling Koizumi and the others slightly and quickly preparing for battle.

El-Melloi II was even more frightened and spoke quickly.

"Why, why did it turn out like that? You should be able to judge who is more right between me and him!"

"That being said, this boy is my Master. If provoked, a Servant cannot just ignore it."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on the field instantly became tense.

Chapter 462 Iskandar's Proposal

"Rider, you..." After hearing Iskandar's words, Waver couldn't help but feel touched.

"Damn... this..." El-Melloi II, who had coaxed Kenneth around, was speechless.

"Um, Your Excellency? I remember our policy was to avoid conflict with Rider...?"

Mash looked at El-Melloi II in bewilderment, a trace of doubt on her face. "Didn't we just agree to avoid conflict with Rider? Wasn't this battle plan yours? How did you break it now?"

Upon hearing this, El-Melloi II couldn't help but reveal a look of distress on his face.

"... Let's retreat. We can't make things worse here."

After a moment's silence, El-Melloi II took a deep breath and slowly gave the order.

"What? How boring. I thought you would be a man of more integrity." Iskandar said with disappointment.
