Chapter 228: ·Regarding the Biggest Rumor of the Holy Grail War

(Acht)

"Sorry, Great-Grandfather."

Irisviel raised her hand, showing her wrist, which had only the contract remaining.

"I can no longer command Saber now."

The reason she had used up her Command Spells in advance was that she knew something like this would happen.

She was worried that she would hesitate at the last moment and be unable to make a decision, so she had cut off her own retreat.

He who hesitates is lost.

Now that the die was cast, even if she wanted to go back on it, it was useless.

Because she had already given a death order to our King with her Command Spells, which even she couldn't undo.

"You!"

Acht also saw this and understood Irisviel's intentions, trembling with rage.

"Attack!"

Following Acht's order, the homunculus maids of the Einzbern family picked up their weapons and charged toward them with expressionless faces.

These homunculi were emotionless, and could be said to be thorough death-defiers.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides could not be made up by numbers.

Our King defeated them all in less than a few minutes.

Subsequently, our King headed to the castle's backyard to bring Illya over.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you don't think you can rely on Saber forever, do you?"

Acht watched this scene and threatened in a deep voice, "Don't forget, as soon as the Holy Grail War ends, Saber must return to the Throne of Heroes."

"Of course I know that."

Emiya Kiritsugu said with a normal expression, "But I have my own confidence in doing this."

Immediately, a white light flashed on Emiya Kiritsugu, and he donned a set of armor and red clothing.

He had actually turned into the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

That's right, Emiya Kiritsugu had also opened a Nameless Class Card from the Gold Treasure Chest.

Emiya Kiritsugu had copied the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, intending to use the Class Card as a trump card for the Holy Grail War.

As it turned out, it wasn't used in the Holy Grail War, but was used here instead.

"This is! The power of a Heroic Spirit!"

Acht was also shocked by the scene before him.

He had never heard of a human being able to borrow the power of a Heroic Spirit.

But now he had to admit that Emiya Kiritsugu indeed had a trump card to turn against him.

Although the Einzbern family was an old magic family, in reality, like the Matou family, they had no one to use.

Although homunculi had a high starting point, their potential was also limited.

The current Einzbern family simply couldn't produce a capable magus.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have recruited Emiya Kiritsugu as a son-in-law, letting him represent the Einzbern family to participate in the Holy Grail War.

"Kiritsugu! Mother!"

A moment later, our King successfully brought Illya over.

Behind the two of them followed two expressionless homunculus maids.

As soon as Illya came over, she happily threw herself into Emiya Kiritsugu's arms.

"Kiritsugu, you're back. We can go find the walnut sprouts together."

Illya hugged Emiya Kiritsugu's neck and said affectionately.

"Eh? What is this outfit you're wearing?"

"It's nothing."

Emiya Kiritsugu showed a gentle smile on his face, handed Illya to Irisviel, and dispelled his transformation to return to his original state.

"Wow, is this some kind of transformation magic?"

Illya was very curious about this.

"You could say that. I'll explain it to you in a moment."

Emiya Kiritsugu patted Illya's head and smiled, "The walnut sprout matter might have to be put aside. We are leaving."

Illya asked strangely, "Leaving? Where to?"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "To Fuyuki. We will live together and never be separated again."

"Really? That's great!"

Illya cheered, then asked, "Then, can I bring Leysritt and Sella?"

She was referring to the two maids who had just followed them.

Leysritt and Sella were the nannies specifically responsible for taking care of Illya's daily life, and were also the people closest to Illya besides her parents.

"No problem, bring them with us."

Irisviel gently patted Illya's head.

"Really? Thank you, Mother."

Illya waved to the two maids, "Leysritt, Sella, let's go together."

"..."

The two maids subconsciously wanted to step forward, but their bodies stopped, and they turned to look at Acht.

"Hmph!"

The gloomy-faced Acht didn't say anything, but the two maids understood his meaning.

The two maids slowly walked to Irisviel's sides and stood respectfully.

"Alright, let's go."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at them and turned to walk out the door.

He actually didn't want to bring them along, but since his wife and daughter had spoken, he could only accept it.

"Great-Grandfather, we will come back to see you when we have time."

Irisviel bowed to Acht and followed Emiya Kiritsugu with Illya.

Our King and the two maids followed as well.

In the messy castle hall, only the ugly-faced Acht remained.

Time flew by to the next morning.

"So, what exactly is the situation?"

Looking at Zhang Jiao and Hundred-Faced Hassan, who were still remaining in the current world, Feng Xi, with dark circles under his eyes, was completely confused.

Shouldn't these two have exited along with the end of the Holy Grail War? ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
