Chapter 171



Izeshan looked at Oberon speechlessly.

Well, Oberon was sitting at the melon-eating table and still could shatter the watermelon to the ground. He also admired him.

But...why?

Izawa Sugi's brain started to work at high speed.

Wait, from the outside, he is a familiar summoned by Rider, so killing Oberon can cut off Izawa Sugi's magic power!

What happens next?

Kiritsugu Emiya is a Servant. Even if he wants to kill Oberon and defeat Izawa Sugi, his fundamental goal is only one: to rescue his lord!

Izawa Sugi was about to instantly move to Soichiro Kuzuki's side and wait for him, but the next second, something stuck to his ankle.

He looked down and saw that after Oberon scattered all over the ground, the wriggling moss worms gathered into dark mud and water, and stretched out a tentacle-like black mud hand, as if wanting to shake hands with Ize Shan.

Izawa Sugi was in a state of panic. He was too late to teleport, so he could only use the eye technique he left on Soichiro Kuzuki...

Puff! The sound of a bullet hitting the chest was heard.

The magatama in Izawa Sugi's eyes was spinning, but when he heard the sound and looked up, he was stunned.

What a great Emiya Kiritsugu!

He actually killed his lord, Soichiro Kuzuki, without any hesitation, and even drew out the knife from his waist and cut off Soichiro Kuzuki's hand with the Command Seal!

Kiritsugu Emiya had obviously realized that Soichiro Kuzuki was being controlled by Izawa Sugi. In order to ensure his own survival, he actually abandoned his Lord, picked up the Lord's Command Seal arm, and rushed out of the church without even looking back.

The moment he rushed out, he did not forget to fire an origin bullet at Matou Sakura!

The whole movement is as smooth as flowing water, crisp and neat, with the beauty of power and speed.

Taking advantage of the one-second gap when Izawa Sugi controlled Matou Sakura to dodge, Emiya Kiritsugu's figure had already disappeared on the mountain path in front of the church.

Izawa Sugi sighed.

He put away the staff in his hand, bent down, grasped the black mud hand, exerted a little force, and pulled out an Oberon.

Oberon yelled, "This is too much! My part is over. I am just an audience member. Why are you hitting me?"

Ize Shan rolled his eyes. Everyone else was fighting to the death, but he was just sitting there watching the show and filming. Who else should he beat if not him?

Izawa Shan ignored Oberon and walked up to Matou Sakura. He formed a seal with both hands and touched Matou Sakura's forehead with his fingertips: "Seal——!"

Matou Sakura's body shook violently, and the bright red in her eyes quickly faded, turning back to its original light purple. At the same time, her black magic coat with red patterns also disappeared, revealing the white dress the girl was originally wearing.

She looked at the ruined church in a daze. The next second, her feet went soft and she fell to the ground.

She hissed and hugged her arms subconsciously, feeling pain all over her body.

"Your body lacks exercise, and the huge amount of magic in the Holy Grail is flooding into your magic circuits like a flood, so your body feels a lot of pain."

Ize Shan touched the girl's head and said, "Don't be afraid, that is your power. Although I allowed the consciousness of the evil of this world to surface, I used my pupil technique to protect your consciousness. You should have seen what happened, right?"

Matou Sakura looked at Izawa Sugi with some awe: "You are..." Izawa Sugi's various values ​​were reflected in her eyes, and the girl was confused: "You are Archer?!"

Izeshan paused for a moment before he remembered. He raised his hand and lifted the hood of his white cloak, revealing his brilliant golden long hair.

As the battle ended, the golden hair gradually faded back to black starting from the top of the head, and returned to emerald green when it reached the ends.

"Well, doesn't Rin want to kill Kotomine Kirei who killed her father?" Izawa Sugi said with a brilliant smile: "As a Servant, of course I have to help!"

Matou Sakura: “…”

Even though the girl didn't quite understand the whole thing, when she looked at the church that was almost in ruins and recalled what Izawa Sugi had just done, her expression became indescribable.

Is it really just revenge?

She doesn't believe it.

Ize Shan raised his finger to his lips again and whispered, "Don't tell your sister, understand?"

There was a protector present before, but both Soichiro Kuzuki and Sakura Matou were hinted by Izawa Sugi's eye technique, and Kotomine Kirei was lured away by Izawa Sugi in the first place. The remaining assins probably don't know Izawa Sugi's identity yet.

Matou Sakura's eyes widened. She seemed to have thought of something. She simply lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and whispered to Izawa Sugi: "Archer, you won't hurt your sister, right?"

Ize Shan simply squatted down and looked the girl in the eye. He promised solemnly: "I promise you that I will not hurt your sister Tosaka Rin."

Matou Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The next second, Ize Shan added: "Including you."

His voice was steady and powerful. "Regarding the thing in your body, since I can control it, I can naturally find a way to solve it."

Izawa Sugi praised Matou Sakura: "Although King Gilgamesh scolded you, the moment you reached out your hand to him, it was your attachment to this world and your cry for help. Don't worry, Miss Sakura, if he slaps your hand away, I will hold it, your sister will hold it, and everyone who loves you will hold it."

Matou Sakura's eyes widened.

Izawa Sugi gave positive encouragement.

"Thank you for sticking with it all the time. You've done a great job."

The girl's eyes became sour and tears fell uncontrollably. She smiled, and the gloom and inferiority in her heart dissipated a little.

"Thank you, Archer."

Izeshan smiled, he stood up, and was about to say something when he saw Oberon approaching him lightly.

Oberon said to Matou Sakura, "Really? He took advantage of you! He just said a few words to you, and you forgave him?"

Matou Sakura glanced at Izawa Sugi subconsciously and murmured, "But, but I'm useful..."

Did she do a bad job? She was praised, isn't that a good thing?

Oberon raised his hand to his forehead and said, "It's really disgusting."

I don't know whether he was sighing that Matou Sakura's mentality was ultimately distorted, or he was feeling that it was terrible that Izawa Sugi grasped Matou Sakura's psychology, saw through it thoroughly and successfully comforted the girl.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, just pretend you know nothing."

Oberon smiled calmly and said, "I sensed some magical fluctuations in the church, and when I came to check, I found you lying in the ruins."

At this point, Oberon seemed to be thinking about something. He looked at Ize Shan and said, "Are you really okay now?"

Ize Shan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Oberon commented objectively: "When you were in the fairy kingdom, your temper was much milder than it is now."

If it was Izawa Sugi from the Fairy Kingdom period, he would not have used Matou Sakura to set a trap so directly.

Ize Shan immediately understood what Oberon meant.

He laughed: "I was on the Yang side then, but now I am on the Yin side. The tradition I inherited emphasizes the unity of Yin and Yang, achieving everything in the universe. I can freely adjust the power of Yin and Yang. Don't worry, after the Holy Grail War is over, I will go back and adjust my status."

Oberon looked disgusted and said, "You go by yourself. I don't want to go to a place full of flower petals."

Izawa Sugi smiled, tilted his head to sense it, and said to Oberon: "I'll go check on Rin. She and Shirou Emiya have entered Caster's magic workshop. I'll leave this place to you."

Matou Sakura, who had been silent the whole time, was startled. She suddenly remembered what Oberon had said before and asked quickly, "Did my sister really go to find Caster?"

Izawa Sugi: "Well, don't worry, I left a mark on Lin, I still have time to go over now."

Oberon: "You should at least keep a familiar, in case Cer kills you again?"

Izawa Sugi felt that the possibility was not high, after all, both of these servants had lost their masters.

But considering that Lancer is proficient in runes, maybe he can absorb magic power himself?

Furthermore, as an assassin who can act independently, Kiritsugu Emiya will not leave the human world for a while.

"I understand. I'll keep a clone."

Izawa Sugi raised his hands and formed a seal, and his real body quickly left, leaving behind a clone that served as a meat shield and coordinate.

Looking at the ruined church, Izawa Sugi's clone - it's still him anyway, his consciousness will return to the original body after the spell is lifted - suddenly remembered something.

He asked Matou Sakura.

"You devoured Gilgamesh earlier, and your body showed signs of collapse. Why? As a Lesser Holy Grail, isn't it a basic function to absorb the power of retired Heroic Spirits?"

Matou Sakura frowned. Although she didn't like that feeling, she still tried to recall the situation at that time.

"...It seems that his magic power is too great. I can only absorb the magic power of one or two servants in an instant."

In a fierce battle, there is a chance that two heroes will die together and return to the Holy Grail at the same time.

"Besides, I was transformed into the Little Holy Grail by Grandpa, so my endurance is..."

The girl said uncertainly, "If you want to forcibly digest that magic power, you need more power to decompose it quickly. At that time, you manipulated me to spray it out directly, and there was probably less than two servants' magic power left."

Ize Shan couldn't help but exclaimed, he looked at Oberon and said, "You are so lucky."

Oberon was curious: "What do you mean? Did something good happen?"

Izawa Sugi explained: "Yes, theoretically, the Holy Grail will descend only after five or more servants have retired. Gilgamesh alone can defeat two servants, so we only need to kill one more!"

Oberon laughed. "What a generous king."

Not only did he send the Holy Grail to Izawa Sugi, but he also replenished the Holy Grail's power for himself? He is indeed the most ancient king!

Oberon thought that if he had the good fortune to meet Gilgamesh in Chaldea, he would definitely go to him to thank him.

At the same time, in a castle deep in the forest, Illya was looking towards the city with a frown on her face.

"...Some servants have retired, but I haven't collected any mana."

Maybe it was the purple-haired girl I saw that day who took away the power of the Heroic Spirit?

The long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family is to use the Holy Grail ritual to achieve the Second Law.

Illya is just one part of this long-cherished wish. Einzbern doesn't care if someone else achieves the goal.

Illya hesitated, should she go and see what was going on? Or should she continue to wait?

"Lady Illya!"

A maid's voice sounded.

"A heroic spirit has entered the barrier."

Illya turned her head to look at the crystal ball held by the maid Sera, and then her bright red eyes suddenly widened.

The Servant's face was revealed in the crystal ball.

It was her father, Kiritsugu Emiya, who betrayed Einzbern and died in Fuyuki City.
