Chapter 693: The Bastard
Overnight in the courtyard of the Tohsaka family.
As one of the three strongest magus families, although the Tohsaka family wasn't very large, it had a high reputation among ordinary people and other magi.
Although the courtyard wasn't particularly luxurious, it looked beautiful.
Next to the pool in the courtyard, a pool of blood and a white mask were especially conspicuous under the moonlight.
A battle broke out here a few minutes ago, but due to the huge disparity in forces, the battle didn't last long.
A man in golden armor with short golden hair and red eyes stood and looked at this pool of blood.
Behind this man, the space glowed with gold, for he had just arrived from his personal space.
This man is Gilgamesh, also known as the Ancient King, one of the Servants. He was once a demigod and the oldest king, but now he is an archer and his master is Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Gilgamesh then looked at the" dead " Servant, the Assassin. His eyes were filled with disdain, but he was also a little confused. He only managed to get interested in this battle when his opponent " died».
Feeling Tohsaka Tokiomi's gaze on him, Gilgamesh raised his chin slightly and started talking to the Assassin's corpse, or rather mocking it, — You have no right to look at me. You have to be what you are now-a corpse. You should have killed yourself, you bastard.
Gilgamesh is an arrogant, domineering, and self-centered man. He used to call others "bastards", and according to him, " If you don't be arrogant, you won't be a king».
Although Gilgamesh seemed a bit bloodthirsty when killing enemies, he always followed two principles. First, his enemy must have an ugly soul, and second, the enemy must have a murderous intent towards him.
The second one was very easy to understand. As for the first point, it was up to him to decide how much his opponent was corrupted.
The one he liked had an ordinary soul, and the one who didn't had an ugly one.
He was a tyrant who ruled his kingdom very well. Compared to other heroic kings, Gilgamesh wasn't the wisest ruler, but his kingdom was the most stable.
After spending another couple of minutes watching the Assassin's remains dissipate, Gilgamesh's body gradually began to turn transparent and finally disappeared from this world.
This was an ability that all Servants possessed. If there was a "Servant" who didn't have this ability, it was only Su Xiao.
Seeing this through her window, a smile appeared on Tohsaka Tokiomi's face. As he had expected, Gilgamesh would indeed be the strongest Servant in this Holy Grail war.
He believed that he would win.
Although this battle was planned by him and the other Master, the "slain" Servant didn't know about it. This incident will be used to confuse the other Masters.
— Tokiomi, I didn't expect you to ask me to do such a boring thing, " Gilgamesh suddenly appeared in his room, looking slightly unhappy as he did so.
— I'm really sorry, King Gilgamesh, but this event will showcase your strength and allow us to implement future strategies, " Tohsaka Tokiomi replied, holding a glass of red wine in his hand as he bowed to Gilgamesh.
It was extremely rare for the Master to bow down to his Servant, but Gilgamesh was really very strong and was too arrogant. In fact, at times Tokiomi felt as if he had summoned not a" Servant "but a" Father».
Most of the time, Gilgamesh didn't follow Tohsaka Tokiomi's orders at all. If he had any "request", Tokiomi had to discuss it with Gilgamesh. Whether he agreed or not depended on Gilgamesh's mood.
When he first discovered this, Tohsaka Tokiomi's heart skipped a beat, but for the sake of the Holy Grail, Tokiomi decided to endure it.
Even though Tokiomi was groveling in front of him right now, he had already decided that he would kill him with a Command Spell.
The Holy Grail belongs to him alone. The King will commit suicide due to the pressure of the Command Spell.
— Please be patient, King of Heroes. It's all for the Holy Grail, " Tohsaka Tokiomi said, and bowed down again, spilling some red wine on the floor.
— Hmm, well, it looks like I can only pass the time by taking walks for now. Fortunately, this era is quite interesting.
Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Tohsaka Tokiomi was a little surprised. — Do you like the modern world?
— It is unimaginably ugly, but it also has its advantages. There are no treasures in it that can add to my wealth. If you don't find at least one artifact that I like, then summoning me here is a serious crime, Tokiomi, " Gilgamesh said, and glanced sideways at Tokiomi, who was now kneeling in front of him and didn't see Gilgamesh's gaze, which could see right through everything.
As a former King and Demigod, how could the Hero King not notice the malice he harbored?
— Please rest assured, King, the Holy Grail will definitely satisfy you...
— It's up to me to decide whether I'll be satisfied or not. By the way, what happened to the explosions? They were quite pleasant, " Gilgamesh said, and motioned Tokiomi to straighten up.
— Those explosions were investigated. The Mato family's castle was blown up. According to the evidence at the crime scene, it was probably the handiwork of a Servant.
— What, a Servant did it? So fast? Gilgamesh's interest was suddenly piqued.
— That's right, according to the known information, an unknown Servant fought with Mato Zouken. As a result, Zouken died, but everyone was puzzled by the fact that this Servant was called by the Matou family and still exists, according to the evidence left there. This means that the Mato family is still a participant in this Holy Grail war. Thanks to the magic used, we know for sure that he is still alive, " Tokiomi's expression wasn't very good.
Judging from the current situation, there was only one possibility.
— The servant summoned by the Mato family destroyed the Mato family? Gilgamesh seemed to hear something interesting and smiled.
— We are ninety percent sure of this... No other ideas.
— I wonder if it's not an internal struggle, then a Servant would kill his Master, how interesting~... Gilgamesh said, and a smile appeared on his lips. When he was summoned to this world, although he also wanted to kill his summoner, he didn't dare to do so.
The command spell was something he couldn't resist. It wasn't easy for him to come to this world, and for now Gilgamesh didn't want to leave this world.
Now, however, Gilgamesh's interest was truly aroused. If the unknown Servant didn't disappear after killing his Master, then he just had to ask how he killed him and didn't disappear from this world.
When Gilgamesh turned into a spirit and walked out of the mansion, Tohsaka Tokiomi finished the wine in his glass and leaned back on the sofa.
— I really can't stand it. Gilgamesh is a Servant of the archer class, but he dares to act alone. Also, this Servant who attacked the Master is just crazy, and where did these unknown magicians come from?..
Tokiomi had a headache not only because of Gilgamesh, but also because of the current situation.
----
On the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
Su Xiao held a map in his hand. The command spell drawn on the back of his right hand was particularly noticeable.
Behind him was Bubtni, and behind Bubtni was Mato Sakura, and behind Mato Sakura was the" Berserker", Mato Kariya.
— The map indicates that the Ryuudo Shrine is located somewhere around here...
