Chapter 19

[Option 3: Mind's Eye (True) B: An ability cultivated by Diarmuid through constant practice and training, which can accurately predict the opponent's actions to make the most appropriate judgment.]

This skill is also good; it's Diarmuid's skill. The most classic battle for this skill was against Artoria, where he predicted the King's prediction and launched a counterattack.

As for why the King's Instinct A could be predicted by a B-rank skill, it's because Diarmuid's agility was higher than the King's at the time, and Diarmuid also had another skill: Knight's Tactics B. The two skills combined surpassed the King's Instinct.

"This is also a good skill. My strength is actually pretty good right now, but I lack sufficient combat techniques. With Mind's Eye, it's enough to handle most situations."

Lin Ye decides to put this skill into the 'thinking' stage and decide after seeing everything.

[Option 4: Noble Phantasm: Gáe Dearg]

[Rank: B+]

[Category: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm]

[Effect: Piercing the Magic (Everyone should know this, no explanation needed.)]

"A Noble Phantasm! And a real weapon-type Noble Phantasm!"

Lin Ye is excited. This is a Noble Phantasm. Although he has 'Rule Breaker', he can't let Lin Ye go to the battlefield with a small dagger.

"Very good! An inch longer is an inch stronger. With this long spear, I have a decent weapon."

Lin Ye looks at this option with satisfaction, but let's see what else there is. Lin Ye continues to look.

[Option 5: Berries of Eternal Youth - 3 (Berries you found while adventuring in the Dublin Forest. Eating one can make a person young again; one can only eat one.)]

Berries of eternal youth! Good stuff!

Eternal youth—how many people in this world can escape the curse of time? But with this thing, I can live to be a hundred... no, I can live for nearly two hundred years now.

"Ah, this is also a good thing."

Lin Ye is confident that he can find a way to immortality in the future; after all, he has a system. But what about his friends and loved ones?

So, Lin Ye also really wants this reward. However, he still has one last reward he hasn't looked at.

[Option 6: Riding A (With A-rank Riding, you can ride anything except dragons and god-level phantasmal species.)]

Another Riding skill. But it's normal; Celtic mythology and the King Arthur legend are all stories of knights. Having Riding is the best thing.

Choose four out of six. He has already chosen Clairvoyance, and then...

"System, give me Gáe Dearg and Mind's Eye B as well."

[Yes, Master.]

Hum!

As the system's voice falls, a red long spear appears in Lin Ye's hand! Lin Ye places his hand on the long spear, and at that moment, he feels the spear responding to him.

Lin Ye swings the long spear, and nine spear flowers bloom directly!

"Wow! Big brother's spear is so amazing!"

On the side, Sakura raises her two little hands and claps continuously.

Hearing Sakura say this, Lin Ye proudly puts the spear away. However, he falls into a dilemma.

"The last reward—should I choose the Berries of Eternal Youth or Riding A..."

Both are good things.

"Forget it, Berries of Eternal Youth! It's decided, it's you!"

Lin Ye finally chooses the Berries of Eternal Youth. After all, things that grant eternal youth are rare and hard to find.

As Lin Ye finishes this sentence, three berries with a rich fragrance fall directly into Lin Ye's hand. Lin Ye just admires them for a moment and then throws them into his imaginary space.

Lin Ye isn't old right now, so naturally, he doesn't need to become young again so early.

"Alright! A bountiful harvest!"

Lin Ye puts away all the rewards and then takes Sakura's little hand, saying:

"Big brother is happy today. How about I take you out to eat something?"

"Okay!"

Sakura nods happily. As expected, her choice to go with big brother was a wise one.

So, the big one and the small one leave the rental apartment.

And at night, in the Matou house in Fuyuki City, a figure returns, dusty and tired.

"Matou Zouken! What did you do to Sakura!"

As soon as this figure enters, he questions Matou Zouken. Seeing the person who arrived, Matou Zouken sneers at him.

"Hehehe, what an unfilial son. You finally return, and the first thing you do is question your father? How shameful."

The person who returned is Matou Kariya. Hearing Matou Zouken's words, Matou Kariya ignores him completely. He had already received the news that Sakura had been snatched away, and he rushed back without hesitation.

"Don't talk nonsense! Where is Sakura!"

"How would I know? That person used powerful strength to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi and then took Sakura away without a trace. How would I know where they are?" Matou Zouken says with an innocent look.

Looking at Matou Zouken like this, Matou Kariya immediately turns to leave, but Matou Zouken calls him back.

"Where are you going?"

"If you won't look for her, I will!"

"Heh, relying on you? Tohsaka Tokiomi wasn't that man's match, and you think you are?" Matou Zouken's words make Matou Kariya clench his fists in anger. But he understands that Matou Zouken is right; he... is indeed powerless!

"Heh, feeling powerless, right? Think about it, that Sakura is the child of the woman you love most. If you had powerful strength, you could find that little girl, and then you could defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi. When that time comes, Tohsaka Aoi will be grateful to you, and she and her two daughters will all be yours. Unfortunately... you are a piece of trash!"

"You!!!" Matou Kariya turns to rush at Matou Zouken, but Matou Zouken just waves his hand, and Matou Kariya is knocked to the ground.

He steps directly on Matou Kariya and says in that hoarse, ruthless voice:

"Look at your pathetic self? You still want that woman to like you? You can only watch that woman bear children for Tohsaka Tokiomi forever..."

"Shut up!"

"Hehehe, are you angry? Trash!" Slap! Matou Zouken kicks Matou Kariya away, and then he looks down at Matou Kariya's face and says:

"I'll give you a chance: participate in the Holy Grail War. With a Heroic Spirit and the Holy Grail, you will have a chance to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi. This is your only chance; if you lose it, you'll have to wait decades. Think about it."

Matou Zouken turns and walks toward the basement. Looking at Matou Zouken's back, Matou Kariya clenches his fists tightly.

That's right, only by relying on the Holy Grail War can he have a chance to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi. He will defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi, obtain the Holy Grail, and find Sakura. He will let Aoi know!

Who is the man most suited for her!
