Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

He could not feel the glory of being a king from the other party's words, but only the shame of being a king.

"That's enough, enough of these boring tests." Gilgamesh exhaled, quickly adjusting his discontented mood, and stared at Fan Yu with his red eyes: "You bastard, I admired you at first.

Now, you better disappear from this world!"

After he finished speaking, Gilgamesh slowly stretched out his hand.

Just like the [Star Core] in the void that Fan Yu had shown before, a golden ripple appeared in front of his extended palm.

Although it looked no different from the weapons displayed before, this time there was an additional hilt emerging from the golden ripples. Just a corner of the sword appeared, but it distorted the surrounding space.

A surge of magical power emerged from within the Tōsaka residence, creating a suffocating magical pressure in the atmosphere. Then, the sky and the earth changed color.

There was also some surprise in Fan Yu's eyes.

Then, his expression quickly became serious.

Compared to the feeling he had from the previous exchange with the Hero King, it was just like an archer throwing his Noble Phantasm like an arrow. That attack method was very monotonous and indeed very suitable for the bonus amplification attack method brought by the opponent's summoned [Archer] class.

Although the destructive power of the Noble Phantasm's collapse is very strong, it is not so effective against Fan Yu, who has already wrapped himself up for defense.

So he basically seems relaxed.

But at this moment, the treasure that Gilgamesh was about to summon, which was just a hilt, had already caused the surrounding colors to gradually change.

Fan Yu knew that this was most likely an exceptional Noble Phantasm... Based on what he knew about the attack level specifications of the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Holy Grail War, this kind of range coverage had the power of a Noble Phantasm that could at least target a city, a country, or even a world.

However, at this moment——

Gilgamesh made a gesture to hold the sword, but suddenly stopped.

From Fan Yu's perspective, Gilgamesh's voice was filled with disdain: "You want me to step down? Tōsaka Tokiomi."

[Yes... King of Heroes, your Noble Phantasm should not be used here prematurely. It will reduce your temporary palace to ruins.] —Tōsaka Tokiomi's voice, through the connection between Master and Servant, appeared in Gilgamesh's heart.

Gilgamesh completely ignored these flattering words: "Let this place be destroyed, and we can just move to another place."

Tōsaka Tokiomi: [Please exercise restraint, great Hero King. The formation technique created with the Noble Phantasm you provided is sufficient to strangle this invader.]

"Oh?" Gilgamesh snorted, unmoved. "What if I want to continue?"

He did not stop trying to draw out his Noble Phantasm.

Deep inside the mansion, Tōsaka Tokiomi stared at the scene outside the window and sighed helplessly.

He stretched out his right hand and wiped out two Command Seals, then gave the Command Seals' orders:

"I hereby order with the First Command Seal, Servant, to prioritize the destruction of the Noble Phantasms constructed at the position. Do not use the [Sword of Separation]!"

"I issue another command with the Second Command Spell to reinforce the Noble Phantasm constructed to activate the position and destroy it!"

Chapter 21 Command Spell, Star Core (Two in One)

Gilgamesh stood completely frozen in place in front of the manor.

He sensed the compulsory power restraint between the Master and the Servant, and his face showed an even angrier look than when he faced Fan Yu before.

However, facing the constraints of the Command Seals, Gilgamesh's heroic spirit was affected and forced to retract his own Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Sundering.

I saw the light in the sky that had changed the color of the manor fade away, and everything returned to normal.

The restraint of the Command Seals lessened as the Sword of Peril was withdrawn, but soon a second, reinforcing command came, forcing Gilgamesh to forcibly point his finger forward and attack without his own will.

"That's it... it's settled for now." Standing by the window, Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed.

He knew very well what the consequences would be, but in order to win he had to use the Command Seals to restrain Gilgamesh from activating his strongest Noble Phantasm.

The Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony of the Holy Grail War is a ceremony where the Master summons the Heroic Spirits to the world. In addition to the magic power that the Master needs to maintain the existence of his or her Servants in the world, there is also a [Command Spell System] engraved into the base to provide each Master with the ability to restrain their Servants.

The activation of the Command Spell can restrain those disobedient servants who were summoned, and it can also be used to strengthen the servants in crucial battles.

His use at this moment clearly belongs to the former.

Moreover, facing an exceptional Heroic Spirit like Gilgamesh, he had already displeased the King, and once the Command Spells disappeared, he, as the Master, would have no friendship left. Given the other's historical evaluation, he might even choose to kill his Master.

But Tōsaka Tokiomi did not regret it.

The remaining Command Seals can be obtained by seeking out Kotomine Risei, the referee for this command, and the only one left is a safety measure to prevent Gilgamesh from escaping from the control of his Master.

The only pity is that he gained very little from doing this...

Do not--

Tōsaka Tokiomi stared at Fan Yu, who was not far away. If the other party was also one of the seven Masters in this Holy Grail War, he might have already faced his greatest opponent in advance. Knowing the intelligence of such a powerful opponent in advance and using it to conquer other Servants might not be a bad thing.

But before he can do any of this, he still needs to find Yanfeng Lizheng to confirm the other party's identity.

"Feel it well, the wisdom between a magician and a heroic spirit." Tōsaka Tokiomi stared ahead, a hint of eagerness emerging in his heart.

The power of position construction is an essential foundation for every magician.

Based on the concept of the magic workshop, there is also a defensive measure taken by magicians to prevent others from accessing their secrets.

In the Holy Grail War, this situation is even more efficient.

In the field.

As Tōsaka Tokiomi cast the Command Spell on Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh took control of the Noble Phantasm that he had previously placed in the manor at Tōsaka Tokiomi's suggestion.

Long swords shining with golden light formed an array after being arranged by Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Pulled by magic, they rose into the air after the liberation ritual and began to form a turbine-like rotation. As they turned, a golden light wave spread out into the air, like a dazzling energy ring.

Rings spread out from the sword blade, and then the expansion speed began to increase.

In just a few seconds, waves of light emerged and formed a cage that wrapped Fan Yu. The curtains lifted from the surroundings had covered the entire Tosaka Mansion.

Fan Yu looked up at the sky, and layers of magic spells appeared in front of him. He naturally also saw the barrier that rose here, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“It’s not that easy to leave.”

When the dense energy reflected by the treasures intertwined and formed a solid state for a short time, they were freed from the barrier of the ritual. One of them extended out first, like a vanguard soldier, and rushed towards Fan Yu.

The Noble Sword whirred, creating a sharp piercing sound in the air, and azure energy emerged on both sides of the sword.

When the distance between it and Fan Yu reached five meters, all the treasures and weapons connected by the position construction showed blue energy together. They seemed to be the perfect rechargeable batteries on the first sword. Only a blue magic beam was seen, expanding and magnifying instantly through the air.

A light cannon with a diameter of five meters suddenly erupted towards Fan Yu. The blue magic beam carried a hint of white, engulfing Fan Yu's entire figure.

But in just a short moment——

The light cannon broke through Fan Yu's body and extended to the golden light film barrier constructed behind him. Then the energy exploded completely within the area.

As if worried that even such an attack would not be able to break through Fan Yu's energy-ignoring [Protection] barrier, after the treasure released the light cannon, it approached the place where Fan Yu was originally standing, and a magical word spread over the entire sword body.

Then, it suddenly exploded!

boom!

Another sound came, increasing the temperature within the barrier.

"destroy!"

Inside the barrier, Fan Yu's cold voice came from inside at the same time.

Facing the violent explosion, everything within his field of vision was covered by the expanding particle energy, and the [protective] power covering the surface of his body was constantly eroded under this impact.

Fan Yu felt the impact on his physical strength, frowned secretly, and directly activated the power of [Destruction].

He picked up a metal fence directly from the ground, covered it with black and red energy, and instantly formed a magic sword.

Fan Yu gripped the weapon in his hand and swung it forward with the power to destroy everything.

A devastating slash split the energy pouring from the air in two. The visual effect ahead was as if the sky itself had been severed. As the energy converged to the left and right, a straight path opened before Fan Yu.

Kotomine Kirei, who was standing aside, looked at the scene ahead through the barrier and was speechless for a moment.

Although he felt incredible about the attack that "cut off energy" in front of him, for some reason, he had seen many things beyond his expectations in a short period of time, and he actually had a sense of "naturalness" in recognizing this scene.

"This man really doesn't die so easily."

His teacher, Tōsaka Tokiomi, had different ideas. His originally calm and elegant demeanor became out of control when faced with the scene in front of him.

“How is it possible…?!”

The barrier blocked all the places that the opponent could avoid, the Noble Phantasm constructed by the position collapsed the array, and even gave the Noble Phantasm a common way of use in the field of magic. Although it was just a sword just now, it actually brought all the power added by the position construction.

He originally thought that by relying on this blockade, and taking advantage of the killing effect of the Hero King's Noble Phantasm, he could use the energy to wear down the opponent's defenses, and then use the energy to evaporate the opponent's flesh and blood, causing his death.

The golden defensive barrier on the opponent's body surface was looming, and at this moment it was almost wiped out.

But Tōsaka Tokiomi never imagined that the energy within the closed barrier could be cut off.

"Could it be that the characteristics of that sword have the possibility of absorbing energy?" Tōsaka Tokiomi felt that the situation had gone beyond his common sense.

He got no answer.

Even though Gilgamesh, who had already been released, saw through the certain characteristics of the Brahma Feather Blade with his own eyes, he would not say anything because he was being forced to do so by Tōsaka Tokiomi with the Command Seal.

Rather, he had previously been very dissatisfied with Fan Yu's attitude, but now that he was able to block it, he actually felt very appreciative.

Tōsaka Tokiomi dared to use the Command Seals to drive him, which made Gilgamesh feel extremely humiliated.

He would not admit that kind of action, no...what he was considering now was to change a Master!

"call……"

Fan Yu let out a long sigh.

With one strike, he severed the demonic flames shrouded in destructive power. The surrounding crimson particles gradually receded, leaving traces of the impact on his hands. The energy he had just released wasn't completely useless; instead, it was a continuous roar, steadily eroding the power within Fan Yu.

Even the [Protection] that had been built up over a long period of time, which served as a 'magic shield' wrapped around the surface of the body, had been completely consumed at this moment.

And that broken Noble Phantasm just now...

Although it is a collapse, it is actually no different from before.

However, the light cannon effect displayed at that moment and the characteristics pulled from behind it were completely different.

Fan Yu cast his gaze towards the air ahead. At this moment, the Noble Phantasms there were still clearly operating. Based on the form of [position construction], each Noble Phantasm was not as monotonous as Gilgamesh's bombardment before.

If Gilgamesh's use of the Noble Phantasm's collapse is pure violent aesthetics, then the technique constructed around the position of the Tohsaka mansion at this moment is like forming a Noble Phantasm formation with all the individual Noble Phantasms.

All the treasures seemed to form a strange opposition and complement each other.

Just like a single weapon in a game, the effects it brings are completely different from the combination of set weapons.

Sizzle——!

Suddenly.

Among the treasures formed by the formation, a short sword suddenly emitted a silver light. The moment it flashed, the rest of the treasures followed suit and started to move, all moving towards Fan Yu.

In just a few seconds——

A large number of silver-white sword blades, each with different characteristics.

A spear tip with the power to destroy magic came towards him, and Fan Yu met it with the magic sword in his hand. The moment the sword wrapped in black and red energy touched the spear tip, it was shattered on the spot by the spear tip with the power to destroy magic, and turned into countless magic particles that floated away.

Fan Yu's face was slightly stiff, but his hands moved slowly, holding the long tube of the fence, using it as a gun and a stick, and swept it across.

Clang!

The chop of the stick and the spear of demon-destroying collided, and a large amount of metal sparks flew out. The weapon in Fan Yu's hand bent on the spot, and the spear of demon-destroying was knocked away.

After the first gun blade, the second one soon came.

This time, the gun blade seemed to be sure to hit the target. The moment Fan Yu collided with it, he felt as if he was being locked in at any time.

Fan Yu was still thinking about how to use such a treasure. From the distant position, he built a treasure surrounding him. The shining dagger flashed like a spiral.

Chi——!

"?"

Fan Yu subconsciously built up his strength and protected his vital parts with a layer of golden light film.

Almost at the same time, a cut appeared on his shoulder.

The blood quickly spread across his skin and seeped down.

Fan Yu looked down at his shoulder, a look of confusion on his face: "What?"

"You bastard, you finally show that expression." Gilgamesh showed a happy expression and did not hesitate to explain himself: "The sword that cuts down the god of war (Fragarach), also known as the [Backlight Sword], has the effect of 'strike last but not least'. How does it feel?"

Fan Yu was stunned when he heard Gilgamesh's explanation, but he still looked at the group of Noble Phantasms under the formation: "Conceptual characteristics?"
