FATE: As Illya, I was summoned by Kotomine Kirei?!

Chapter 9: The First Holy Grail Battle, Gilgamesh, the King of Streetlights!

'Street lights? When did they come?'

'Is this guy mentally normal? He actually uses street lights for lighting?'

Miss Illyasviel blinked in confusion, then subconsciously prepared to activate the presence concealment function and run away. For some reason, the blond man gave her a very...bad feeling.

"Since this king has acknowledged that you are my subject, your life and death will naturally be decided by this king."

The king with blood-red eyes shining with golden light casually glanced at Tohsaka Tokiomi who was bowing in submission, then turned his gaze away with disdain at the assassin girl who was trying to hide in the darkness in the distance, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in his arrogant eyes.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with the other party's desire to escape. After all, facing him, the only correct answers are death and escape.

He was just dissatisfied with the other party for being just a dirty rat.

'How dare you...'

"Miscellaneous magi! Who allowed you to look directly at this king?"

The dazzling light of the street lamps and armor is particularly eye-catching in the dark night. The perfect yet invisible light illuminates the night sky, just like the Sun King in the myth, with a face that is glittering with nobleness and greatness and is admired by countless girls. He has taken away the focus of all things in the world and holds wealth and power in his hands.

Noble Phantasm, there is no doubt that the golden armor is a Noble Phantasm, and the spear that cuts the silk thread is also a Noble Phantasm.

Miss Illyasviel kept thinking in her mind about which hero in the myths and ancient prophecies could correspond to the King of Gold on the street lamp.

Golden armor, golden spear, suspected divinity, shining golden light as dazzling as the sun...these characteristics.

Could it be that being in Indian mythology who was summoned as a spearman?

"Karna", known as the little sun and the great hero of India?

What he was wearing was the legendary golden armor, and the spear he threw was the God-killing Spear?

Should we say that the Tohsaka family is worthy of being a wealthy landlord, as they can even get the relics of Heroic Spirits of this level? The Heroic Servants in mythology are not easy to deal with. Although divinity is a negative buff in most cases, that is only for Heroic Servants with special attacks against divinity. For a Heroic Servant like Miss Illyasviel who has poor numerical mechanisms, divinity is a mountain that is difficult to overcome.

"A reptile should behave like a reptile. Always stare at the ground when facing me. Then, as a sideshow reward, beg me to grant you death."

Golden waves rose and appeared in the sky behind her, and Miss Illyasviel's guess was instantly shattered.

She widened her eyes slightly, and the next moment, a gleam of light flashed in the golden waves, and several swords, spears, and halberds suddenly appeared above the empty sky. They were not magecraft props like the ones she used, but weapons that contained terrifying magical powers that surpassed magecraft costumes. There were nearly ten of them, and there were no fake ones!

'Lancer? What the hell, this is clearly a stain!'

"Noble Phantasm?"

"The lowest Noble Phantasm is C+ rank?"

'ah?'

'ah?'

'Doesn't the common sense bestowed by the Holy Grail say that the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirit Servants are basically trump cards?'

'How does this guy have so many Noble Phantasm? Is he a pirated wholesaler?'

'My Noble Phantasms are only B+, and there is only one card, but other people's Heroic Spirits can easily take out so many Noble Phantasms. In theory, is it really reasonable to play the Holy Grail War like this?'

Miss Illyasviel blinked her eyes in confusion again, then turned around and ran without saying a word as soon as her aura was concealed. The assassin's profession was supposed to flee thousands of miles away if she couldn't hit the target with one strike, and now the opponent had taken out so many treasures. If she didn't run away, would she fight the opponent head-on like the assassin in Assassin's Creed?

She is just an assassin with a little magical power, not the berserker assassin who can kill anyone in an instant as described in the novels.

"Miscellaneous magi, does this king allow you to leave my sight?"

The golden light flashed, and the shining spear cut through the sky like a meteor breaking the sound barrier, causing a huge wave. The deadly threat instantly made Miss Illyasviel's hair stand out.

Without hesitation, she stopped and wove silk threads to form a sword blessed with a large amount of magic power, which collided with the attacking spear like a crossbow. Her inherent skill, Engel Lied, could not only create silk thread familiars and quickly arrange magic positions, but also shape them into various practical shapes. However, due to her basic attributes, she was more inclined to be an orthodox magi before.

Snap!

At a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the magic sword and the golden spear collided.

In an instant, the silk thread collapsed, and the spear's flight trajectory was changed and stabbed to the other side.

The magic power poured into the silk thread disappeared completely and turned into mist. In essence, this was not a battle between the silk sword and the Noble Phantasm, but a simple collision of the magic power infused with the Noble Phantasm. Miss Illyasviel took a short breath and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The King of Gold did not seem to take her seriously, but just expressed disgust and displeasure like driving away rats and cockroaches.

This allowed her to successfully return to the cold darkness, the only shelter in this villa estate that could give her a sense of security.

With the help of Presence Concealment, unless the other party has intuition, there is no way he can find her location in this dark villa.

"Oh, you hid in a rat hole? A reptile is a reptile. How dare you refuse the gift of my king?"

The Golden King snorted coldly with disdain. It was his blessing that Miss Illyasviel was killed with one strike of his treasure. He appreciated the reward for letting him watch this wonderful drama, but Miss Illyasviel was so ignorant of the current situation.

It would have been fine if she had just run away, but she also knocked his gift to the ground.

"Caster can hide his aura... She can also inject a large amount of magic power into props to make high-end ceremonial equipment. Is she a magi from the Age of Gods? What a terrifying guy."

Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned slightly as he watched all this happening from afar. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with the Golden King in his heart, because when Miss Illyasviel knocked on the door, he summoned the Golden King out of caution and performed the etiquette of a subject.

Originally, he wanted to take precautions before it happens. Even if Miss Illyasviel looks harmless, he still had to be on guard against the Master's Heroic Spirit who was chasing after the enemy. By then, he might be able to counterattack and catch the enemy off guard.

As a result, the Golden King agreed impatiently, and then just watched the whole process.

He was almost beaten to death by Miss Illyasviel, but the other party was still hesitant to make a move.

It was as if they were enjoying his embarrassing escape, treating his life and death as an entertaining stage play, and watching him being chased by Miss Illyasviel.

It was not until Miss Illyasviel blocked all his escape routes and he completely lost the chance of survival that he rescued him. His blood pressure almost rose a lot due to his anger.

"My dear king, I think that against Caster..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things? mongrel."

"I dare not......"

Looking at the waves that kept popping out, Tōhsaka Tokiomi lowered his head quickly, with a bad feeling in his heart. He thought that the back of the villa was relatively open, and if Miss Illyasviel wanted to escape, it would be impossible. She could only hide in the villa and build a magecraft formation to defend herself.

Since Miss Illyasviel can't run away, it would be better for him to contact Kotomine Kirei to send Assassin over.

Let Assassin sneak into the villa to confirm the exact location of Miss Illyasviel. At that time, the probability of the two Heroic Servants forcing Miss Illyasviel to leave is undoubtedly the highest.

"Be aware of your identity, mongrel. I don't want to hear such remarks again next time."

He glanced at Tōhsaka Tokiomi who was treating his wound. The group of Noble Phantasms surrounding the Golden King had increased to twenty-four, and all of them were C-rank Noble Phantasms that were more powerful than before. His pride did not allow him to be serious about anyone except his best friends.

Because no one else is worthy, the assassin girl is naturally not worthy either. He does not need any help or strategy. Even casual entertainment is enough to kill the reptile.

"Since a rat has crawled into my property, I will crush it along with that filthy rat."

"ah?!"

'No, king, that's my villa!'

'You can't do it like this if you want to wash the floor. Are you going to flatten my villa directly?'

The Tohsaka family had already spent a huge amount of money preparing for this Holy Grail War, and the practice of jewel magecraft was even more expensive, so there were not many properties left under their names.

If this villa were to be blown up again and the antiques and magecraft gems stored inside were destroyed, Tōsaka Tokiomi could imagine how difficult it would be for his daughter, Tohsaka Rin, to practice magecraft after she grew up and inherited the Tohsaka family.

I'm afraid you'll have to eat dirt for a month after buying a gem and practicing.

"What? mongrel, do you have any objections to my handling of my own property?"

"No, no, your will is correct, my king."

He lowered his head against his will and answered respectfully. The next moment, the Golden King laughed joyfully, and all twenty-four treasures rushed towards the villa!

Boom, boom, boom

followed by a series of huge explosions!

Tohsaka Tokiomi shifted his gaze to the other side and dared not look anymore. The pain and guilt in his heart turned into a bitter smile.

Birth, it's really not that the other party didn't feel sorry for buying it with the money he earned. The magecraft props and precious gems in it are enough for his daughter to practice until she reaches adulthood and be admitted to the Clock Tower.

"Rin, I'm sorry to have wronged you in the future. Because of the victory of the Holy Grail War, your father cannot leave you something that can make you rich forever..."

However, before he could finish his words, the next moment, before the Golden King could react while being immersed in the bombardment, a dagger woven with silver threads suddenly appeared!

The assassin girl who suddenly stabbed from behind Tohsaka Tokiomi, and who had activated the Presence Concealment function, had already walked out of the villa at some point and quietly sneaked up to Tohsaka Tokiomi's side!

"You keep calling me a mongrel. Big brother, you are a king who doesn't even know how to protect his own subjects. Your arrogance and pride are really ridiculous~"
