Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Fan Yu raised his head silently and looked at the scene above his head where the sky and the earth were turning upside down.

Above the zenith, it was as if three enormous force fields were rotating, causing turbulence in space and time, and causing the space itself to change.

All perspective dynamics, physical common sense, and cognition of the world are all rewritten at this moment.

"So that's how it is. Is this the unfinished contest from that day..." Fan Yu thought as he looked at the sky.

He stretched out his hand, and the energy from friction in the air automatically gathered into a glowing blade, and then condensed into a lightsaber.

The entire Yuanzang Mountain's earth vein power was instantly drained at this moment and gathered on Fan Yu's nameless lightsaber.

At this moment, the colors of the several destiny magic circles constructed by Medea's formation were brought to the maximum, and the outlines of the star gods composed of those spells became realistic as if their incarnations had descended.

Medea, who was controlling the magic circle, was stunned for a moment, but as the magic power of Yuanzang Mountain was drained, she soon discovered that the projections of the star gods of unknown origin gradually disappeared along with the magic circle.

But all those characteristics have been condensed into Fan Yu's sword over this period of time.

[Building a position... this is what you want.]

"Yeah." Fan Yu responded in his mind.

Immediately in the next second, he raised his hand and slashed at the distortion in the sky.

Chi!

The encounter between the nameless lightsaber and the force field brought by the sword of disobedience.

The lightsaber cut through the sky in an instant.

The narrow arc of the sword also cut off Gilgamesh's sword of separation.

Click!

The dark red glow that enveloped the sky disappeared in an instant.

The lightsaber's slash also cut into Gilgamesh's cool body, and a mouthful of scarlet blood suddenly spurted out of the latter's throat: "Guha!"

Gilgamesh's red eyes lost their former luster.

He stared blankly at the sky ahead, ignoring the disappearing golden ripples behind him, and tried to raise the sword of separation, intending to continue slashing. However, all that remained of the weapon in his hand was a golden handle.

The black and red sword body shattered into countless fragments in the sky, gathering into a rainy area that temporarily lost gravity.

There, a long, narrow white scratch was frozen.

It was as if someone had left a wound in this dimension.

Gilgamesh stared blankly at the scene in front of him. He felt the pain in his chest, the loss of his magic power, and the whistling of the wind in the sky around his ears.

His body fell uncontrollably from mid-air to the ground.

As a king, being in such a miserable state was a great shame, but his spiritual core was already shattered at this moment, and he couldn't even maintain his physical movements.

However, compared to the collapse of consciousness caused by the shattered spirit core at this moment, his eyes were staring at the broken sword of separation, and he was in a trance.

The Sword of Separation—theoretically, it was the embodiment of the creation of the universe, but it was shattered so easily?

"My king...how is it possible?"

Gilgamesh looked down at Fan Yu below, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Fan Yu came closer to Gilgamesh step by step, and the lightsaber in his hand sometimes showed a golden protective barrier wrapping the sword body, sometimes emerged with a roaming storm, sometimes surged with a fire of destruction that burned everything, and sometimes brought a ripple resonance that shook the surroundings.

"Nothing is impossible in this world, King of Heroes. If there is anything..."

Gilgamesh paused in his defeated red eyes: "?"

"I'm better than you, that's all."

102 After the War, the Holy Grail Belongs

With the shattering of the spirit core.

Gilgamesh's body gradually disappeared from the spot. Even though his red eyes still showed reluctance at his last moment, he was unable to prevent the fact that his heroic spirit body was cut off.

After the death of Gilgamesh, the battlefield of Mount Enzo returned to complete peace.

Fan Yu sheathed his lightsaber, causing it to dissipate into particles. The magic circle in the sky also gradually dissipated as time passed.

After the war, the Ryudo-ji Dojo had become a ruin, with no trace of its former location left.

He returned to Medea and Altria, the two women still standing there in a daze.

The power of the Sword of Separation made them feel that the world might be destroyed, but they didn't expect that it only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.

"As expected, the three riders were completely annihilated." Fan Yu said slowly to the two.

Medea & Altria: "..."

Such a battle was not something they could expect. After all, whether it was Osmanthus, Karna, or the last three Gilgamesh riders displaying their Noble Phantasms, they all briefly thought that they were going to be wiped out.

Especially for Medea, the magic circle she set up was broken several times in a row.

but--

Medea's gaze shifted to the air not far away, where there was still a lingering white trace of the space-time turbulence caused by Fan Yu's sword cutting off the Guaili Sword. The trace was shrinking as space-time twisted.

She inevitably moved closer to Fan Yu: "That power..."

"That's the power of the position construction." Fan Yu responded.

Medea stared at him suspiciously. "You didn't use the power of the [Star Core]? Honestly, after witnessing Archer's power, I doubt that relying solely on the spiritual veins of Yuanzang Mountain and your own strength can defeat him."

Fan Yu said frankly: "Of course not. You have to believe in yourself."

Medea couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Then, she began to ponder. Could the spiritual veins of Mount Enzo be used to counter Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm? Speaking purely as an energy medium, it certainly could.

But you have to know that the Sword of Separation is an [Anti-Boundary Noble Phantasm]. In theory, the conceptual law that distorts the turbulence of time and space is difficult to shake through energy.

When Medea thought of this, she couldn't help but recall the scene where Fan Yu absorbed the energy from the spiritual veins of Yuanzang Mountain and infused it into those star gods. If those were not just the projection outlines she created with her own means, Medea would have thought that the solid scene at that time was that the gods from alien planets were about to descend.

Fortunately, everything returned to normal after the war, and the projections disappeared.

"Using pure energy to build some mysterious power can destroy the effect of the Hero King's sword. I have to say that this power is really strange!" Medea sighed.

Fan Yu hummed.

"Then, there are a few little mice at the foot of the mountain..." Medea changed the subject.

Fan Yu: "Hmm?"

Without waiting for anyone to cast a doubtful look at her, Medea immediately unfolded the projection of the magic mirror while she was still able to control some of the techniques here. The screen showed Sora and Waver, the two masters of Lancer and Rider.

Their figures were already running quickly down the mountain, but they were blocked by a protective barrier and could not break through the barrier of Yuanzang Mountain at all.

The other, separate magical mirror image showed Kotomine Kirei standing there in shock. He seemed to have sensed the King of Heroes' death, and his instincts, which had been awakened, now lost their target and fell into a state of confusion, like the walking corpse.

Medea tried to ask: "Should we take advantage of this war to destroy them together?"

Fan Yu shook his head: "It's up to you. They can't change anything."

Medea showed a playful expression, her eyes fixed on Sora, the only woman in the field, while the other two were directly ignored by her.

Several rays of light from the magic spells came from the foot of the mountain, and screams of pain remained in the magic mirror, which was then gradually destroyed by Medea.

In the field.

Altria watched all this blankly, the holy sword in her hand just standing there in a daze.

A battle against a powerful enemy had disappeared. She could not help but return her thoughts to the issue on the right track and asked Fan Yu, the Master: "What are you going to do with us?"

Fan Yu: "Ah?"

Altria stared at him with a pair of emerald green eyes, extremely serious: "..."

Theoretically, after defeating the three most powerful knights in this Holy Grail War, they can actually make plans to win the trophy.

But what makes this Holy Grail War different from any previous one is that Medea and Artoria are also present, as well as an Assassin whose whereabouts are still unknown...

The root cause of this result came from the Master in front of her.

Because no matter which Holy Grail War, no magician can maintain the magic power supply of the three servants, or even use his strength to force the three servants not to fight each other.

But precisely because of this——

Because of the war before, they could still unite against the outside world.

But now that there were no enemies left, Altria couldn't help but consider who would own the Holy Grail. After all, the reason she responded to the summons of the Heroic Spirits was because of a wish she hadn't been able to fulfill in her lifetime.

"Your topic..." Fan Yu met Altria's gaze with a rather subtle expression.

He thought for a moment and said frankly, "Compared to the so-called Holy Grail, I think you are more important."

Altria couldn't help but raise her brows: "What, you're not going to make a wish with the Holy Grail?"

"Well, after all, I have no intention of hurting a lady. To summon the Greater Holy Grail, the final one must be chosen from among the three of you, and then Irisviel must be sacrificed as the Lesser Holy Grail. Is this what you want, Saber?" Fan Yu asked the female knight in front of him.

Artoria was speechless at the Master's question.

Medea watched the scene with great interest. "My desire for the Holy Grail isn't that great. If that's what you want, I can help you, Saber. But you have to do it yourself!"

Rather than having her wish fulfilled, she would rather see a noble knight fall and turn evil.

Altria hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself: "No, I didn't..."

Artoria's heart is full of contradictions at this moment, due to her inner desire and the code of conduct as a knight.

103 “I am the sun”

Is it to rewrite the ending of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, and sacrifice himself to protect Irisviel? Or is it to preserve Irisviel and give up the idea of ​​changing the past?

Victory was within reach, but Altria found it even more difficult than her previous battle against the difficult Lancer Karna.

"Whether you have that idea or not, I don't intend to fulfill your wish, Saber." Fan Yu's words directly interrupted Altria's entanglement.

The young knight's face showed a look of astonishment. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she could not understand her master's behavior.

"why?"

Fan Yu glanced toward the rear, at the shattered Ryudo-ji Dojo. Without Matou Sakura and Berserker watching over her, Irisviel had emerged. She, too, was listening to Fan Yu's conversation with Altria, a look of determination on her face.

Fan Yu didn't intend to avoid the lady and said bluntly, "Regardless of whether the Holy Grail can fulfill my wish, the records of the Matou clan show that an unexpected situation occurred during the last Holy Grail War."

"Accident?" Altria was stunned, and Medea also looked at Fan Yu.

This was a secret that his Master had never told him before.

Fan Yu hummed, "During the last Holy Grail War, when the seven servants fought each other, an eighth servant appeared at the moment of finally summoning the Holy Grail... and his existence affected the Holy Grail, which originally served as a universal wish-granting machine.

As the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel von Einzbern has temporarily detained several souls and should be able to sense something."

Hearing his words, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Irisviel behind them.

The latter nodded and said hesitantly, "There's a strange malice about it. I'm not sure if this experience is genuine."

Medea, standing by, rested her chin in her hand, thoughtful. "So, after the Holy Grail's properties were altered, it's no longer the original situation of seven knights fighting each other, with the winner making a wish. Instead, something new is needed?"

Hearing Irisviel's mention of malicious intent, Medea, through her research into the Holy Grail system through her own magical theories, had already gained a general understanding. If this were proven, then everything they had done would be meaningless...

In other words, one has to pay a certain price to realize one's wish?

Medea suddenly remembered her Master's previous attitude: "I see, is this why you were so unimpressed by the Holy Grail's victory before?"

Do not……

His own Master had already shown that he was not so enthusiastic about the Holy Grail when he summoned him, and the information he obtained from the Matou clan was already after that.

Fan Yu shook his head. "I'm not interested in the Holy Grail's wishes because its limitations prevent me from fulfilling my desires. But its value as a magical item is still useful. There are also the three major families in Fuyuki City, the spiritual veins here, and even the construction of Medea's position...

By utilizing this, and combining these advantages, I might be able to continue summoning new Servants."

Hearing this, Medea immediately raised her brows: "Do you still want to summon more servants?"

Fan Yu said calmly, "Isn't this obvious?"

In Fan Yu's view, the Holy Grail's wishing machine is a limited universal machine and is completely useless.

However, through the Heroic Spirit Summoning, every time he signed a contract with a Heroic Spirit, the amplification brought by [Harmonious Bliss], even if he drew a single power, would surpass the benefits granted by the Holy Grail itself.

"Ah this..."

An answer that was completely unexpected to Medea and Altria.

In this Holy Grail War, it is already outrageous that one Master contracts three Servants. Now this Master wants to contract even more Heroic Spirits, which is even more outrageous.

Especially Medea and Altria, who were the parties involved, were more speechless at the moment than worrying about whether the Master's magic power could be supplied to them.
