Chapter 165

As for Waver, because he was wearing the Mystic Eye Killer glasses, he was not affected.

Conqueror: "Mystic Eyes? I don't remember her having those."

Waver: "In that case, it was given to her by that mastermind."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "As expected of the Mystic Eye Collection Train; this is already the third type of Mystic Eye to appear."

Knight of Rebellion: "What is she doing? Getting controlled so easily—it's simply tarnishing my father's reputation."

Artoria: "Sir Mordred, she is she, and I am I. Do not lump us together."

My King's words were not meant to look down on Gray; on the contrary, she was denying that Gray is her substitute.

She does not want to see a young girl lose her own life because of her.

Just as Gray's attack was about to land on Waver, the Holy Spear suddenly acted to purify Gray's Magic Circuits, helping her break free from the Mystic Eyes' control.

Seeing this, Hephaestion directly summoned a chariot pulled by skeletal dragons.

Waver's pupils constricted, because he was all too familiar with the appearance of that chariot.

It was the Great Emperor's Wheel of Conquest.

My King: "Conqueror, she actually possesses your Noble Phantasm!"

Conqueror: "Hmm, it must be because I often left the chariot in her care while I was alive."

"I am Hephaestion, the first confidant of the great Conqueror Iskandar!"

Hephaestion boarded the chariot and, accompanied by dense lightning, charged toward Waver and the others.

Gray wanted to release the Holy Spear to counter, but was stopped by Waver raising his hand.

The power of the Holy Spear is too great; it is not convenient to use it here.

Subsequently, Waver took out a small knife and actually stepped forward alone to face Hephaestion's attack.

Then, a flash of white light appeared, and Hephaestion's figure was gradually left behind by the train.

Waver and Gray were knocked off the carriage by the opponent's attack, and only by grabbing the railing tightly did they avoid falling off.

Caules appeared suddenly at this moment and pulled the two of them back onto the train.

Gray: "Master, she didn't chase after us."

Waver: "Phew, because if she drove the chariot to ram us, that would be a provocation against this Mystic Eye Collection Train."

Caules: "That was too dangerous. I was worried, so I came to check, and I happened to see the battle just now."

Waver: "No, you came at the right time, Caules."

Caules: "Hmm? Teacher, did you get a haircut?"

"Just now, I used the magecraft formula stored in my hair to amplify my control and lead the thunder into the ground."

Waver explained how he had blocked Hephaestion's attack just now.

"Because hair symbolizes a snake, and at the same time, the snake is the incarnation of thunder."

Rin Tohsaka: "That was truly a close call."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Using hair... it's truly impressive that he could think of this method in such a short time."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "It seems the crisis has been temporarily resolved."

Kayneth: "Hmph, Waver, it seems you still have some brains and didn't bring shame to the reputation of a Lord."

Gray: "Master, who exactly is that Servant..."

"The opponent held back. If she had really intended to kill, these little tricks would have been useless."

Waver's face grew increasingly pale, and he muttered: "However, how exactly was she summoned..."

As he spoke, he actually fainted.

Gray and Caules were shocked at the sight and hurriedly carried him back to the dormitory.

After uncovering Waver's clothes, they discovered that he had large, severe burns on his body.

They were on both his front and back; it was clear his internal organs were injured.

Caules hurriedly took out a primitive battery to use it to increase Waver's self-healing ability.

They did not know healing magecraft; this was the only way.

Kiritsugu Emiya: "The injury is very severe. As expected, a Servant's attack is not easy to block."

Conqueror: "Just as that kid said, Hephaestion didn't go for the kill, otherwise he would already be dead."

Darnic: "I told you, how could he be completely fine."

Shishigou: "Without anyone who knows healing magecraft, Waver's situation is likely very dangerous now."

Watching Gray's self-reproach, the young Director took out a bottle of Druid's elixir and threw it to Gray.

Druid's elixir, also known as panacea, is a very rare healing medicine.

With this medicine, Waver could be saved.

Gray thanked the young Director gratefully, while the young Director went to sleep in a tsundere manner.

On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, the news of Waver's attack had reached Luvia, and she passed the information on to Luvia and Shishigou.

Just then, Waver's good friend Melvin arrived, and as soon as he did, he scolded Waver for not bringing him along to the Mystic Eye Collection Train.

He then took out an invitation letter, indicating that he would go after them now.

Luvia was curious: the Mystic Eye Collection Train had already departed; how did this guy plan to get on?

Kayneth: "Druid's elixir, huh? This kid is lucky; his life is saved."

Rin Tohsaka: "This Olga Marie is also someone who is harsh in words but soft in heart."

The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was morning again.

After a night of effort by Gray and the others, Waver's condition finally stabilized, and the two of them, relieved, could finally rest a little.

During their casual chat, Caules mentioned his sister, Fiore.

He told Gray that Fiore was a genius, but a few years ago she suddenly gave up the family's Magic Crest and even stated she would no longer be a magus; since then, she had left home to travel, and the burden of being the family heir fell on Caules.

Precisely because of this, many in the clan tried every possible way to target him, even wanting to kill him, so that Fiore would return to continue being the heir.

Clearly, they all did not know about Fiore's hidden illness.

"The me of another world... gave up?"

Not expecting to learn about the experiences of herself in a parallel world, Fiore felt somewhat emotional.

In that world, she gave up her identity as a magus to live a normal life, while the version of herself in this world is the exact opposite.

Looking at her legs that could not move, Fiore couldn't help but wonder if giving up would have been better.

"Sister..."

Caules, standing to the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, didn't know how to comfort her.

"I will definitely help you heal your legs."

Chiron, seeing this, placed a hand on Fiore's shoulder and comforted her with a smile.

"Mm."

Fiore also nodded with a smile.

Do not be influenced by the version of yourself in other worlds, because this path is one you chose yourself.

After waking up, the young Director asked about what happened yesterday and was also surprised to learn that the attacker was a Servant.

Because, other than in the Holy Grail War, there had never been a precedent for a Servant being summoned.

However, upon learning that the attacker was Hephaestion, the young Director immediately guessed that the Relic had been stolen.

From this, it can be seen that the young Director is still very smart.

The young Director was very puzzled by Hephaestion's behavior of directly revealing her true name and guessed that there was a problem with the opponent's Class.

However, just then, the entire train began to shake violently.

"What happened, Sir Rodin."

In the driver's cabin, Leandra came to ask.

"There is an anomaly ahead of the train."

Although Rodin appeared calm on the surface, his hands did not stop moving.

"Although it is hard to believe, someone has tampered with the tracks. This train is heading toward the Child of the Forest of Einnashe."

Leandra: "What!!!"

Kayneth: "Actually changing the route of the Mystic Eye Collection Train—could this also be the work of that mastermind?"

Risei Kotomine: "The Child of the Forest of Einnashe! Is that guy crazy!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What is it, Risei? What kind of place is the Forest of Einnashe?"
