Chapter 1625: This Is the War of Old Schemers

Illya stood in place, not daring to move. She could determine that if she dared to act rashly, the Heroic Spirit behind her would slash her neck without hesitation.

"Berserker, stop."

Following Illya's order, Heracles stopped and stood by. It had to be said that Illya had a way to control Berserker. After all, she was full of magic circuits, or rather, she had been transformed into something not human. Her body was just a carrier for magic circuits.

"You have five minutes."

Unless it was a last resort, Su Xiao wouldn't slaughter Illya. The reason was simple: this girl was the vessel for the Lesser Grail. If Illya were killed, and there was no other vessel to store the prototype of the Lesser Grail, then the Lesser Grail would turn into the Hole of Heaven. By then, not to mention finding Kotomine Kirei, all Heroic Spirits would appear and fight chaotically near the Hole of Heaven.

Muddy water was good for fishing. As Su Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, he didn't want the scene to become chaotic. That would be more advantageous to the Blood Gate, and they would take the opportunity to complete the team main mission.

Although now wasn't the time to slaughter Illya, if the other party didn't listen, Su Xiao would consider making her lose her ability to act, and then use Endless Darkness. Even a Witch Queen like Moi Nora couldn't withstand Endless Darkness, let alone Illya, this little brat.

"You..."

Before Illya could finish speaking, Su Xiao stuffed a "candy" the size of a marble into her mouth. This "candy" was light yellow and was a biological bomb specially made by Su Xiao for invading the enemy's body. Its structure was very interesting. It had no gunpowder and was completely made of biological materials. It was harder to be discovered and would be quickly absorbed by the human body.

In principle, this was a very stable chitin. After entering the stomach, it would be absorbed by the human body in a short time and turn into a substance resembling lactic acid. Pure chitin + lactic acid was harmless and could even promote the human body's absorption of calcium. But if chitin + lactic acid + water molecules were combined with the resonance phenomenon of mental power, it would form a cell rejection reaction, and finally, with a bang, flesh and blood would fly.

Facts proved that every alchemy master who was proficient in alchemy was a monster. They would develop some weapons that looked harmless but were actually very terrifying.

After forcibly feeding Illya a "candy," Su Xiao sheathed Zhan Long Shan and released this cute girl. Illya was a bit confused, but she soon sensed that something was wrong with her body. A cool feeling came from her stomach, and it seemed that something was being quickly absorbed by her stomach and merged into her blood.

"What kind of strange thing did you feed me?"

As Illya spoke, she ran quickly behind Heracles, her slender fingers probing into her mouth, and after several consecutive attempts to induce vomiting, she only got her hands full of saliva.

"Just a candy. A candy... that can blow you into pieces of meat at any time."

When Su Xiao came, he really didn't expect the situation to be so smooth. Controlling the Lesser Grail undoubtedly gave him a great advantage. In the final analysis, a Heroic Spirit without sanity, no matter how strong their comprehensive quality was, was just a beast. If Heracles had sanity, he would definitely be able to fight Su Xiao to the death with the advantage of resurrecting 11 times.

"Berserker, kill him!"

Although Illya looked gentle, she was actually a stubborn donkey when forced.

"My lady, we don't need to..."

Illya's servant Sella spoke urgently.

"Sella, step back. I'm not afraid of death, wah~"

As soon as Illya finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain deep into her bone marrow, which made her recover her sanity from anger.

"Berserker, wait a moment."

Heracles, who was about to rush out, stopped immediately. If it weren't for his powerful physique, this would definitely have sprained his old waist.

Illya was full of struggle. Although she wasn't afraid of death, she was afraid of pain. In the final analysis, she wasn't a warrior.

After a struggle in her heart, Illya whispered something to Sella beside her, and the nun-dressed Sella let out a long breath and ran toward the castle immediately.

Soon, Sella hugged an old-fashioned telegraph machine and ran out of the castle, handing the old-fashioned telegraph to Su Xiao.

"You should be satisfied now."

The breeze blew, and Sella's long silver hair fluttered with the wind. It had to be said that the homunculi manufactured by the Einzbern family all had good looks and were absolutely loyal to the Einzbern family. It was no wonder the Einzbern family was so obsessed with homunculus technology.

"Farewell to you two."

Sella's tone was still polite, but her expression didn't look very good.

"Farewell?"

Su Xiao took the old-fashioned telegraph machine. At the moment, he had already controlled the Lesser Grail. Why was he in a hurry to leave the Einzbern family's castle? This place was basically a magic defense fortress.

"This is my house!"

Illya saw that something was wrong and spoke urgently. Things had developed to this point, and she couldn't care about the majesty of a lord. Or rather, with a knife held to her neck and a strange thing forcibly stuffed into her mouth, she didn't have the majesty of a lord anymore.

Su Xiao naturally wouldn't leave. The joint report from the Tohsaka family and the Einzbern family would be taken seriously even by the high-and-mighty Zhong Ta.

Su Xiao walked into the castle as if no one else was there. Seeing this scene, Illya was almost angered to the point of fainting. Those homunculus maids were also confused, not knowing how to handle it. Their lady's life was controlled by the other party, and they were also very desperate.

"Really, I told you long ago not to go to war. This time, the house is lost."

Tohsaka Rin's somewhat helpless voice came. Hearing her voice, Illya turned her head.

"Rin, you are actually so despicable."

"Hey~"

Tohsaka Rin looked at the expression on Illya's face after being deceived, feeling very helpless in her heart.

"If it weren't for me, the consequences would be much more serious than now. By the way, I'll tell you a secret."

Tohsaka Rin's voice became lower and lower. After hearing her words, Illya's face was full of disbelief, the meaning clearly being: "Are you questioning my intelligence?"

"You don't believe me, I can't help it. The Command Spell on my hand is just for show."

Tohsaka Rin walked toward the castle. Seeing this, Illya let the homunculus servants disperse.

"This is not good."

Illya pressed her hand on her chest. The strange feeling in her body disappeared completely, which was the more terrifying situation.

The combination of Illya + Heracles looked powerful, but in reality, it wasn't. If Illya had one-tenth of her father's ruthlessness and unscrupulousness, she wouldn't be in her current situation.

Whether it was Tohsaka Rin, Illya, or Emiya Shirou, they weren't suitable to be masters. No matter how excellent their aptitude was, some things couldn't be made up for by aptitude.

Emiya Kiritsugu, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kayneth, Kotomine Kirei—these previous-generation masters were the kings in the Holy Grail War. When competing with these guys on the same stage, Su Xiao wouldn't kill his way to the door directly; that would be looking for death.

Su Xiao's opponents this time were Stan, Kotomine Kirei, and a master who had never appeared.

In the living room of the castle, Su Xiao was observing the old-fashioned telegraph machine in front of him. Clearly, he didn't know how to use this thing.

"Rin, send a message to the Zhong Ta and tell them what Kotomine Kirei has done."

"No problem."

Tohsaka Rin opened the telegraph machine. This thing didn't seem to need electricity.

"Should I tell them the truth?"

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Tohsaka Rin. He had done so many things, how could he tell the "truth" to the Zhong Ta.

"Do your best to add oil and vinegar, splash as much dirty water as you can. Killing the master, killing the father, interfering with the Holy Grail as a supervisor, uniting with the Heroic Spirit of the previous Holy Grail War to intervene in this Holy Grail War, secretly capturing children, using the life force of children to provide magic power for the previous Heroic Spirit, human experiments, attempting to open the Hole of Heaven."

The more Su Xiao said, the more astonished Tohsaka Rin's expression became.

"Splashing dirty water like this... seems too bad, is it a bit too exaggerated?"

"Who told you these are splashing dirty water? These are things Kotomine Kirei has done. I'm asking you to add oil and vinegar to these facts."

Tohsaka Rin was still too sweet and didn't understand the world of old schemers.

"All of them... are facts?!"

Tohsaka Rin suddenly felt that, in fact, there was no need to splash dirty water anymore. ===== CHAPTER 1626 =====
