Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

"Although I don't like this kind of trick, this power seems to be quite useful against you." Gilgamesh folded his arms and said coldly.

Fan Yu: "That's not necessarily true."

He extended a finger, a hint of green light emanating from the tip of his finger, and smeared it on his shoulder. The emerald green light flowed directly into his skin, quickly filling the wound left by the sword.

Apart from the traces left on the cuffs, there is almost no trace left.

Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei, who was close to him, both paused in expression. Does it still have healing properties?

Fan Yu let out a long sigh. "I'm just here to investigate, and I never thought I'd go this far. But now that things have come to this, I'll just give you a little bit of a response..."

Gilgamesh: "Huh?"

Fan Yu suddenly stretched out his hand, and the sun emblem on the back of his hand reappeared. From the void, a golden light was summoned from the unreal rift, affecting the surrounding space and causing traces of tearing.

Hiss—!

The appearance of the star core began to shake the surrounding space and was slowly lifted up by Fan Yu.

Gilgamesh: "What is that?"

When Fan Yu raised the star core in his hand and grasped it in front of him.

A golden resonating ripple spread out from the center point headed by him.

Bo~!

A gentle glow dotted the air and automatically spread out in all directions.

Influenced by the surrounding barrier, the spreading ripples reached their end point and began to automatically surge upwards. As each second passed, they gradually overlapped with the circle in the sky.

Finally, a connection was established between them.

The Noble Phantasms used to build the fort began to fall, becoming sluggish under the golden light.

But they did not lose their function and fall down together. Instead, they found each other at the resonant frequency.

Countless treasures made a buzzing and hissing sound, achieving a beautiful harmony at this moment!

Chapter 22 "A Magician" (4000 words)

"This……"

A resonant hissing sound echoed throughout the place, and could be heard by Gilgamesh, Kotomine Kirei, and even Tōsaka Tokiomi in the mansion.

This harsh yet gentle noise all gathered at the center of the position.

Those Noble Phantasms vibrated in mid-air, as if they were previously under Tōsaka Tokiomi's control. But now, they seemed to be tempted, struggling between their original positions and the new touch, becoming hesitant and wavering.

Although it is not quite right to describe it in terms of intelligent life, this is the feeling given to Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokiomi in the field at this moment.

The positions they set up were very effective and they finally broke through the opponent's desperate defense.

However, the situation was broken very quickly.

Amidst the surrounding scene, a buzzing sound was heard. Using the Noble Phantasm provided by Gilgamesh as a medium for constructing the position, the barrier surrounding the Tōsaka residence was completely shattered by this resonance.

Do not……

Rather than saying they were shattered, it would be more accurate to say that the weapons resonated harmoniously from within with the power unleashed by Fan Yu, automatically concentrating the power originally used to construct the position, rendering it ineffective and thus directly lifting the barrier surrounding the Tohsaka residence.

This process of causing his Noble Phantasm to 'rebel' was truly jaw-dropping, and even Gilgamesh, the owner of the Noble Phantasm, couldn't help but feel astonished.

They watched the barrier disintegrate, shattering into pieces of energy fragments with a harmonious hissing sound. Then the fragments turned into countless crystal particles and floated in the atmosphere, full of a dreamlike feeling.

This is true both in the process of achieving its goals and in the results it creates.

Gilgamesh's red eyes stared at the star core held in Fanyu's hand, and he thought: "Is there such a thing among my own royal treasures?"

He couldn't remember it for a moment.

But one thing is certain, this luminous object is a treasure that gives Fan Yu the confidence to fight against him.

An energy cube with the power to tear apart space.

Gilgamesh already has everything in the world, so it is difficult for him to care about an insignificant thing.

"No... That luminous object has never been kept in my [King's Treasure]." Gilgamesh's eyes flashed, as if reflecting all the memories of the past and the future.

That energy body is a substance that does not belong to this world.

At least from the time he ruled Uruk until now, there is no such treasure on earth.

In other words-

Does this man in front of me come from outside of known history?

……

Magic particles filled the sky, falling from mid-air, flashing with tiny bits of light.

Fan Yu slowly retracted the star core that was held in the air and continuously resonated with the treasure, and slowly returned it to the sun emblem on the back of his hand.

The twisted ripples in the void slowly contracted, the converging spirals forming a natural hole that gradually healed in the normal real world. It was as if the storm had passed and everything had returned to calm.

When everything returned to calm, all that was seen was the suspended treasures that had been raised by the construction of the positions in the field, crashing down into the manor. They had lost their original neat order and fell down in disorder.

From this moment on, the construction of the position arranged at the Tohsaka residence was temporarily ineffective.

Fan Yu looked at the area behind him, and then glanced at Kotomine Kirei who was not very far away.

The latter was also staring at him: "Are you preparing to escape?"

Fan Yu: "Escape?"

"That's right. Given the current situation, leaving is the best option for you." Kotomine Kirei said calmly.

Although his words were problematic judging by the current situation, their Hero King Gilgamesh never exerted his full strength from beginning to end. On the rare occasion when he was about to activate his Noble Phantasm, he was stopped by his Master with a Command Seal.

Therefore, the battle between the man in front of him was actually a "confrontation between magicians" between the several Noble Phantasms provided by the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and the battlefields used by his own teacher.

Of course, one thing that cannot be denied is that this man is extremely powerful.

Even his own teacher, who considered himself an orthodox magician, was no match for him with the help of Gilgamesh's power.

Fan Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when listening to Kotomine Kirei's words.

In the battle with the Hero King Gilgamesh, the only thing that interested him was the unactivated Noble Phantasm. Fan Yu didn't care about the ordinary Noble Phantasms, including the backlight sword that arrived after being launched due to the construction of Tōsaka Tokiomi's position.

Of course he could stay and fight him, but...

Fan Yu looked at Kotomine Kirei in front of him, his golden eyes fixed on the taciturn priest for a long time, and suddenly asked, "It was you who attracted me here, wasn't it?"

Kotomine Kirei was shocked, but he remained calm as he said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, nor what the basis for your inference is."

How did this guy know?

He thought he had done it perfectly, and he didn't even tell his father.

It would be better to say that why he himself somehow drew the remaining aura to his teacher at that time was just a random act of wanting to see the result, without any murderous intent or malice.

Can the other party even see such unconscious behavior?

"I killed those two members of the Holy Church. Only the Holy Church could be discovered so quickly. Plus there are many subtle coincidences..." Fan Yu said here, and asked Kotomine Kirei seriously: "By the way, why did you remind me to leave?

If this sentence is said to an enraged enemy, it might directly lead to an even more intense fight. You are aware of this, right?

Kotomine Kirei was startled, and said tactfully, "I just think this is the most reasonable way."

"It makes sense... Indeed, leaving is the most reasonable thing to do." Fan Yu smiled.

Kotomine Kirei felt that there were too many meanings hidden in that smile, as if it was saying 'I have seen through everything about you'!

"I say hello to you on behalf of Aoi and Rin. Just concentrate on participating in the Holy Grail War. I will take care of them." Fan Yu said with a smile, waved his hand and turned to leave.

Kotomine Kirei, who stayed where he was, was stunned and could only watch him leave calmly.

Gilgamesh slowly walked out from the other side and said to Kotomine Kirei with great interest, "Are you still capable of such a thing?"

Kotomine Kirei immediately bowed stiffly: "I'm very sorry, King of Heroes. I have no idea what that person is talking about."

Gilgamesh became even more interested in him. "That's fine. Let's just assume that bastard's words are false. Kotomine Kirei, are you interested in participating in this Holy Grail War?"

Kotomine Kirei lowered his head, and no one could tell what his specific expression was.

Just as he was about to answer, Tōsaka Tokiomi, dressed in a burgundy suit, suddenly walked over from the other side of the mansion. Gilgamesh's conversation with Kotomine Kirei came to an abrupt halt.

"Come back to me when you become interested. Maybe you can please me better than the boring Tōsaka Tokiomi!" Gilgamesh smiled faintly, then turned around to greet his master.

Tōsaka Tokiomi came close to Gilgamesh and immediately placed a hand on his shoulder, apologizing, "I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. I was considering the upcoming war with other Servants. Please forgive my previous intrusion."

As the Master, he kept a low profile.

Gilgamesh glanced at him, his red eyes showing no emotion. "I understand. I won't allow it next time."

Sometimes when you truly give up on someone, it's not anger or sadness that provokes emotions, but complete disregard...

In Gilgamesh's mind, Tōsaka Tokiomi had already been sentenced to death when the Command Seals were restrained in that instant. Now he was just waiting for the last Command Seal to be used up, or seeking other means to replace this Master.

Tōsaka Tokiomi had no idea of ​​Gilgamesh's thoughts. He simply took it as a sign of his magnanimity as a king and bowed even lower. "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty."

"I'm going back to rest. Goodbye, Kotomine Kirei." Gilgamesh said casually, folding his arms.

His golden figure turned and walked forward, the red cloak behind him fluttering in the wind.

In a few short breaths, his walking figure gradually floated up, and Gilgamesh transformed into a heroic spirit on the spot and disappeared.

At the gate of the huge manor, only Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei were left.

Tōsaka Tokiomi watched Gilgamesh go, puzzled as to why the great king had greeted his own disciple. However, this wasn't the time to dwell on such matters: "Kirei, did His Majesty say anything?"

Kotomine Kirei thought of the allure in the king's words. He had originally intended to remind his teacher to pay attention to Gilgamesh, but when the words reached his lips, he shook his head: "No."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: “Really?”

He had no doubt about his disciple's words. He had revealed almost all the secrets of the Holy Grail War to his disciple these days. If his disciple had any second thoughts at this moment, he could only accept his fate.

"Oh, by the way, there's that man. Did he mention Aoi and Rin in his previous conversation?" Toosaka Tokiomi asked curiously.

Kotomine Kirei paused hesitantly and then nodded.

He explained what happened to Fan Yu just now and his final greetings.

When Tōsaka Tokiomi heard 'I say hello on behalf of Aoi and Rin', his face involuntarily fell, "What a despicable fellow."

Kotomine Kirei was stunned. It was not as he expected. The teacher did not feel happy when he heard that his wife and daughter were still alive. Instead, he was more concerned about other things?

"I don't think that man would do anything to Master's wife and Rin." Kotomine Kirei said tactfully.

Tōsaka Tokiomi snorted coldly, "That's enough, Kirei. There's no need to explain the matter of Aoi and Rin for now. Let's get back to the Holy Grail War! I'd like to invite you to participate in this Holy Grail War to assist me. What do you think?"

You don't have to worry about the holy relics. Because holy relic thieves have set off a trend all over the world, many heroic items from India, ancient European legends, and unearthed in Egypt can be obtained.

If you're lucky, you might be able to summon a Heroic Spirit as outstanding as Gilgamesh!"

Kotomine Kirei stood there, stunned, listening to his teacher's ramblings. He hadn't actually heard a single word. He was simply lost in thought, reflecting on his teacher's reaction and the words Gilgamesh had left in his heart.

"I see."

……

the other side.

Leaving Tōsaka Tokiomi's residence.

Fan Yu gained a lot from coming here for the second time. He was absolutely crushed last time, but this time when he met the heroic spirit, the experience was different.

He looked down at the cuff that had been pierced by the sword. Although the wound had been repaired at the time, the mark was still very noticeable. This was a rare occurrence since he had relied on the connection to grow.

"This kind of experience is also rare." Fan Yu said to himself.

He has confidence in his own strength!

The Hero King Gilgamesh did not release the treasure that dyed the sky, and the things inside the rift opened by Brahma Yu activating the star core were not exposed at all.

When he first came to this world, the ideal situation was not to reveal even the Star Core. When the fight between the seven servants was about to be decided, he would finally appear with the Star Core to intimidate and destroy all the servants to summon the Holy Grail.

But this time, due to the effect of the [Noble Phantasm Deluxe Edition: Position Construction] of the Tohsaka Mansion, Fan Yu finally used the power of the star core in order to quickly break the deadlock and directly interrupted the battle.

After all, he had no interest in fighting with others.

Moreover, knowing that he was in control of the Ryuudou Temple's great spiritual vein, even if he stood still, he could use the power of the star core to redirect and drain the magic power. At that time, all the forces based on the Holy Grail War system would kneel down and beg him. In the end, that golden Gilgamesh could only use his master's time and power but could not use it.

He has the power to do this!

However, Fan Yu was somewhat wary of coming to this world and encountering the vague will of a "corrective force" that existed there. Even with the might of a star core, that kind of concept wouldn't have the power or curse to instantly obliterate it before it could unfold.
