Then, with a slight wave of Gilgamesh's hand, dozens of golden treasures seemed to transform into a shower of golden meteors and shot out towards the ancient spring in front of them.

"Senior Koizumi!" Mashu was startled. Just as she was about to rush forward, a figure appeared that was faster than her. Youmu turned into a series of afterimages and rushed in front of Koizumi at an extremely fast speed, brandishing his two swords. At the same time, even Diarmuid rushed forward in time to help Koizumi resist the impact of these Noble Phantasms.

Mashu was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by Ritsuka.

"Mashu, you still have to protect Sakura. Even though Berserker is here, if the King of Conquerors and the King of Knights join forces, we'll be in big trouble. Although the possibility is low, we still have to be prepared. There's also a very hidden Assassin. We have to be wary of that guy too. Berserker's methods are too simple. Even though he has high combat power, he has almost no ability to react on short notice. You should stay here."

Ritsuka's words left Mashu helplessly where she was, but a glint of something special flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ritsuka. In her impression, her senior had always been someone whose presence was only felt during battles, as long as Koizumi was around. But now, he could actually think for himself, and it seemed like he had grown up.

While Mashu was happy, she was also worried about herself. She had to work harder as soon as possible.

Her predecessors are all growing. If she stays where she is, she will not be able to keep up with their pace. Mashu does not want to become a burden and end up holding her predecessors back.

But Mashu was overthinking it. Ritsuka had always been worried about holding Mashu back. It was precisely because Ritsuka didn't want this to happen that she started thinking about the problem mentally. This would also help Mashu a lot, wouldn't it?

Chelsea stood there silently. She was not suitable for a fight like this, and Koizumi would not want her to.

Chelsea is very sensible. When she can't do something, she will try not to do it to avoid being a drag.

After all, she was the assassination ace of the Revolutionary Army in the past, and could be compared with Akame. She did have some self-awareness. The ones who didn't have self-awareness were those stupid fairies in Chaldea, like this one.

Glancing around a few times, Chelsea frowned slightly, and her presence suddenly weakened.

This is Chelsea's own breath-masking ability. Chelsea's breath-masking ability is at the A+ level. Just the level of this breath-masking ability is very high in the Assassin class.

Since everyone is doing what they can, she has to do what she can too.

For example, she could use her own aura to mask herself and observe the situation at the scene. If there were any unusual changes, she could also catch the opponent off guard. At least Chelsea's own Noble Phantasm was very useful, wasn't it?

At this moment, Youmu stood in front of Koizumi, and the two swords in her hands were constantly waving with emerald green sword energy, stirring the surrounding atmosphere. Every time the swords collided with the incoming Noble Phantasm, Youmu's hands could not help but tremble.

The power of these Noble Phantasms is not weak. According to Youmu's speculation, the level of these Noble Phantasms is not low.

They were at least C-rank Noble Phantasms, and with so many of them, even Youmeng couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling.

Diarmuid was also very shocked that this Archer was so difficult to deal with.

Gilgamesh wasn't too surprised to see his Noble Phantasms being taken away one by one, but—

Gilgamesh looked at Konpaku Youmu with great interest.

"Half human, half spirit, a somewhat interesting creature. So let's try this!"

As he said this, the Noble Phantasm behind Gilgamesh suddenly retracted into the golden ripples. Then, the golden ripples spread out again, and a brand new Noble Phantasm emerged again.

At this moment, alarm bells suddenly rang in Youmeng's heart!

Chapter 486 Youmu is targeted by Gilgamesh

Youmu's race is still very easy to recognize. Anyone who is slightly close to the Age of Gods can basically tell Youmu's race. Although it is very rare, it is very easy to recognize. It's because that half-spirit is too prominent.

Basically, as long as you see that half-spirit, you can guess the other person's half-human, half-spirit identity.

Gilgamesh was a half-human, half-god king, and the Uruk era in which he lived was also the so-called Age of the Gods.

How could the King of the Age of Gods not see the identity of Konpaku Youmu? So after realizing that Konpaku Youmu was half human and half spirit, Gilgamesh showed an interested smile, and then the Noble Phantasm behind him was completely replaced with a new one.

Gilgamesh's treasure house contains all kinds of treasures. How could he not have a treasure to deal with half-humans and half-spirits? At this moment, Youmu felt a strong sense of danger from the opponent.

All of those Noble Phantasms have special attacks against ghosts, and as a half-human, half-spiritual being, I am restrained by these Noble Phantasms.

This kind of restraint is undoubtedly very scary. Just like Fafnir, it will be in big trouble after being hit in the face by the dragon slayer's treasure. This is the so-called restraint. It is still very difficult to ignore the restraint and defeat the opponent.

Even if these Noble Phantasms are not released, it will still be difficult for Konpaku Youmu to deal with the opponent.

Gilgamesh waved his hand, and dozens of Noble Phantasms shot towards Koizumi before him again.

However, since Youmu and the others were standing in front of Koizumi, in the final analysis, these Noble Phantasms were heading towards Youmu and the others.

Before Konpaku Youmu could step forward, Diarmuid rushed forward first, waving the two guns in his hands, sometimes crossing, sometimes rotating, and a large number of gun beams in red and yellow colors intertwined together. It looked like he was knitting something with these two colors of wool, and each attack and each gunshot hit the side of the front end of those Noble Phantasms quickly and accurately, and used his clever strength to either pick up the Noble Phantasms that were shot at him or knock them off their trajectory.

Youmu's eyes lit up, and then she rushed forward, the two swords in her hands flying rapidly.

Youmu will not be afraid just because the opponent's Noble Phantasm has restraint on her. After all, Youmu is a loyal person who can give everything for Yuyuko. With such loyalty, Youmu will naturally not be afraid of fighting. On the contrary, she will become more and more courageous in battle. The stronger the enemy, the stronger her fighting spirit will be.

After all, Youmu is also a very qualified warrior, isn't she?

The Two Swords of Life was fully displayed in Youmu's hands. Watching Youmu's sword dance was like watching an elegant dance. Every slash or every straight stab could knock a treasure away or deflect its trajectory.

Life Two-Sword Style emphasizes the understanding of life. In the singularity, Youmu was confused. After seeing the countless innocent lives lost by Saigyo Yorozuya and the death of Saigyoji Yuyuko as a human, Youmu did not use his full strength when fighting Miyamoto Musashi, and Life Two-Sword Style did not show its brilliance.

At this moment, facing the bombardment of Noble Phantasms that was like a shower of meteors in front of her, Youmu perfectly demonstrated her combat power. No Noble Phantasm could hurt Youmu. It could even be said that the aftermath of the Noble Phantasm bombardment could not hit Youmu. Every wave of air caused by the aftermath was easily broken by the girl's sword swings.

"What superb swordsmanship! In terms of pure swordsmanship, I'm not as good as her! I even think that only Sir Lancelot can possibly surpass her in pure skills." Altria's face was filled with shock.

Irisviel couldn't help but look at Altria in front of her, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Is that Saber holding two swords really that strong? Saber!" Is it because I'm not good at fighting that I can't see how powerful Konpaku Youmu is? Irisviel couldn't help but doubt this.

Altria nodded heavily. "Indeed, every swing of her sword was very clever. She either used her ingenuity to deflect the Noble Phantasm's projection or changed its trajectory. She even completely cut off the blast of air from the Noble Phantasm's bombardment with the power of her sword. More importantly—"

Having said that, Artoria paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Her swordsmanship has reached a higher level. There's no doubt that her Noble Phantasm is her swordsmanship. If it weren't for the fact that my Noble Phantasm is larger than hers, I would never be able to defeat her in a simple close combat. That's for sure."

A complicated look appeared on Altria's face. The sword skills displayed by the opponent were the way of [Life]. Altria noticed this from the opponent's sword skills. This was undoubtedly a higher level. Perhaps it was because the opponent was a servant of the Age of Gods, so although he was a swordsman, he possessed this kind of strength.

Irisviel was stunned. What's going on? Why can't I understand what Saber is saying at all?

But one thing is clear, that is, Artoria believes that if she does not use the Noble Phantasm, she will not be a match for the opponent. This is enough to make Irisviel wary of this group.

After all, these guys were truly mysterious. Not only were they mysterious, but as people outside of this Holy Grail War, they were truly—Irisviel couldn't help but glance at Koizumi with a wary look on her face.

Koizumi didn't let Berserker intervene. Initially, he formed an alliance with Berserker in order to defeat Archer, but after saving Sakura Tousaka, Koizumi no longer had this idea. He now wanted to rely on his own combat power to defeat Archer.

Emerald green sword energy began to pour out continuously in this space, and every sword swing became extremely powerful.

A deep solemnity began to appear on Youmu's face. She had clearly used all her strength, but due to the restraint, Youmu felt really frustrated in this battle. Although she took on all the Noble Phantasms, Youmu knew very well that as an Archer, this was the only way the opponent could fight, and there would definitely be more Noble Phantasms to be unleashed next.

And seeing the Noble Phantasm on the ground slowly transforming into photons, the opponent must have the ability to recycle Noble Phantasms, so—

Next, he had to rush forward while continuously taking on the Noble Phantasms. Only in this way could he have a chance of winning.

But Youmu was worried that the other party would continue to exhaust her to death through this method!

Gilgamesh looked at the scene in front of him, a smile of great joy appearing on his face.

"Bastard, let's see how many of my Noble Phantasms you can take!"

At this moment, more Noble Phantasms slowly appeared behind Gilgamesh. What shocked Youmu even more was that all of those Noble Phantasms were special attacks against ghosts!

At this moment, even Youmeng couldn't help but roar wildly in her heart, how many treasures do you have left?

Chapter 487 There’s no need to be so vigilant! Irisviel!

Koizumi simply stood aside and watched the battle unfold, seemingly having no intention of intervening.

Iskandar also watched the scene with great interest, with deep appreciation in his eyes.

Irisviel looked at Koizumi with a vigilant look on her face, and subconsciously hid herself behind Artoria. There was nothing she could do about it, after all, Koizumi was too dangerous. Although he kept saying that he was not her enemy, his actions were just to disrupt the Holy Grail War.

So Irisviel couldn't help but be wary of the other party... After all, the other party was really...

"Don't look at me so warily, Saber's Master. I am not your enemy. I made that very clear when we first met, didn't I? At least until now, I have no intention of taking action against you."

Koizumi's idea was to keep the Saber team, but Saber and Irisviel being so vigilant right now really left Koizumi speechless. However, he could understand it. After all, he had been constantly interfering in the affairs of the Holy Grail War. Caster had been killed by his side, Berserker and Lancer had cooperated with him, and now Koizumi was still fighting a life-and-death battle with Archer. As members of the Holy Grail War, Saber and Irisviel would feel a sense of danger.

"Then why are you so actively intervening in this Holy Grail War! You're with Lancer, you're working with Berserker, and now you're targeting Archer! What exactly are you planning to do!?" Irisviel asked with a wary look on her face.

Artoria couldn't help but take another look at Koizumi in front of her, feeling a complicated feeling in her heart.

Honestly, she had very complicated feelings towards Koizumi. He had acknowledged her qualifications as a king, yet he had denied her ideals. Now, he was meddling in the Holy Grail War. What on earth was he trying to do?

Altria sighed deeply. There was nothing she could do now except be vigilant.

"Eri, stand back! Archer's attack range is too large. Don't get caught in it!"

Artoria stood in front of Irisviel and slowly raised the invisible sword in her hand.

"There's no need to be so vigilant. Once Archer and Assassin are dealt with, I'll tell you the truth about everything. After all, by then, there's no need to hide it any further."

If Arche Gilgamesh and Assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces also leave the Holy Grail War one after another, then only Saber Artoria, Lancer Diarmuid, Rider Iskandar, and Berserker Lancelot will be left in this Holy Grail War. The three confirmed protected targets are all alive, and Lancelot's Master Matou Kariya is basically on his side. Therefore, it is about time to explain the truth of this Holy Grail War to them.

Although Rider Iskandar still makes Koizumi a little worried, that king is not someone who will follow the script. On the contrary, he has to worry about whether he will ruin the whole script.

Hearing this, Iskandar, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but look at Koizumi with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh! You're very confident, kid. But I have to say, even though you have more people, that Kinpika can't be defeated simply by relying on numbers. And your Servant seems to be at a disadvantage."

As he said this, Iskandar turned his gaze towards Konpakuyoumu and Diarmuid who were on the battlefield.

It was just as Iskandar said, Konpaku Youmu and Diarmuid were indeed at a disadvantage and were completely suppressed by Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, making it much more difficult for them to get close to Gilgamesh.

"Don't worry, they won't lose! I have complete confidence in them. And if I can't even trust my own Servant, then I'm unqualified as a Master," Koizumi said with a chuckle.

There wasn't a trace of worry in his words; on the contrary, Koizumi had great trust in Youmu and Diarmuid.

There is no need to worry about Diarmuid's skills, let alone Youmeng.

Konpaku Youmu, who is said to be the fastest monster on the land of Gensokyo, is very reliable in terms of combat power. Although it is still inferior to other BTs in Gensokyo, Youmu's combat power is still very trustworthy.

Koizumi had witnessed firsthand how powerful Youmu's fighting power was in the singularity.

"You are really a good master. Perhaps only a master like you can be paired with that swordsman with a clear mind." A faint smile appeared on Altria's face.

Koizumi smiled back, but didn't say much, simply focusing his attention on the battlefield.

He was ready to support them at any time, but now was not the best time.

To put it bluntly, the current battle is still in the warm-up stage, and it is not time to use all your strength yet.

Youmu's eyes suddenly became deep, and her speed suddenly increased. She couldn't just take all of these Noble Phantasms head-on, or else something terrible would happen! With so many Noble Phantasms all equipped with anti-ghost special attacks, who could withstand this?

What's more, dodging the attacks of these Noble Phantasms is not a difficult task for Youmu.

What is the characteristic of Gensokyo? Barrage attack is its characteristic. Although the barrage can be dodged on the ground, relying on its own super fast speed, dodging these barrages is not a problem at all. If it is switched to an air battle, perhaps Youmu's advantage will be greater. Even Koizumi will definitely join the battle, because Koizumi himself has inherited the tradition of Gensokyo.

BOOM ...

In an instant, Youmu dodged the barrage of countless Noble Phantasms. Under the barrage of these shimmering, golden Noble Phantasms like cannonballs, the ground and surrounding walls crumbled and shattered. At this moment, pit after pit appeared on the scene, and the four neatly arranged flower beds had long since been destroyed, with countless young flowers trampled and torn to pieces.

Youmu was more dodging as he moved towards Gilgamesh in front of him, while Diarmuid was facing the hail of bullets formed by the Untaught Noble Phantasm, while resisting and moving towards Gilgamesh in front of him.

I have to admit that compared to Youmu, Diarmuid is obviously under greater pressure.

Facing the attacks of Youmu and Diarmuid, Gilgamesh naturally couldn't stand still. After all, as an Archer, Gilgamesh couldn't stand still all the time. Otherwise, at such a short distance, he would have been approached by others. This is a basic rule of being an Archer.

So at this moment, he kept increasing the distance between himself and the two of them. Circles of golden ripples, symbolizing the door to the king's treasure, quickly expanded along his trajectory, and all kinds of treasures poured down on the two of them like a rainstorm.

"So strong! As expected of the king of demigods! Are the guys from the Age of Gods really that strong?"

While dodging the bombardment of these Noble Phantasms, Youmu complained in her heart.

This kind of enemy is really a headache.

Chapter 488 Group fight

"Even though he's powerful, that doesn't mean he's unbeatable! As long as we get close, we'll be fine!"

Youmu gritted his teeth, and the two swords in his hands cut through the air. After deflecting a Noble Phantasm, he rushed out diagonally to the right.

Youmu had almost completely turned into an afterimage, and all of her Noble Phantasms were completely dodged by the opponent.

Instead, it was Diarmuid who now attacked completely against his Noble Phantasm, brandishing his twin spears without a care in the world.

The red and yellow auroras intertwined with each other, and the onlookers could only see the shadows of the two guns being waved.

"Do you need Berserker's support?" Matou Kariya cast his gaze towards Koizumi standing beside him.

Koizumi was silent for a moment before silently nodding. The most important thing now was to get Youmu to Gilgamesh. As long as Konpaku Youmu could reach Gilgamesh, they would have a chance of winning.

As an Archer, Gilgamesh's close combat ability should not exceed Youmu's, although in "The Epic of Gilgamesh", this guy is also a guy with terrifying close combat ability. After all, he is a guy who is evenly matched with the man-made weapon Enkidu in close combat. However, Gilgamesh did not descend with the class of Saber, but the class of Archer. As such, Gilgamesh's close combat ability will be weakened.

Youmu, who descended with the Saber class, has combat skills and attainments in the dual-wielding style of life. Her close combat skills are definitely not inferior to any other servant. Based on this alone, Koizumi has the basis to say that as long as Youmu gets close to Gilgamesh, she will have a chance of winning, so now someone is needed to help Youmu clear the way!

Without a doubt, Lancelot is the most suitable one, as his skills have not decreased in the slightest even when he has gone berserk.

Although Mashu's defensive capabilities are excellent if he goes up, he is not suitable to deal with Gilgamesh here.

Lancelot, who has a certain degree of restraint over Gilgamesh, is the most qualified to go up.

"Berserker! Kill Archer!" After getting Koizumi's consent, Matou Kariya quickly gave the order.

Although he has let go of his obsession a little, he would still be very happy if he could kill Tōsaka Tokiomi's servant. Anyway, he would be very happy as long as he could make trouble for Tōsaka Tokiomi. This is what Matou Kariya thinks.

The hatred will not diminish in the slightest, but for Sakura, he can only let go of the so-called hatred.

Right now, protecting and taking care of Sakura is the most important thing, isn't it? Matou Kariya already understood this in his heart.
