Chapter 293: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 133

"Low cultivator!"

Seeing this, Gilgamesh's face instantly twisted with furious rage, and this time, Tohsaka Tokiomi did not restrain him.

As the Vimana dodged left and right, golden chains shot from the void, attempting to bind Li Ang.

Chains?

You have them? I have them too!

Li Ang's expression remained unchanged as a vast number of chakra chains erupted from his back, entangling with Gilgamesh's chains.

Truth be told, his Heaven's Lock should have no effect—he's neither a god nor a person from the Moon Cell world.

If Heaven's Lock can't even handle an alien artifact, how can you claim to enforce law across worlds?

Seeing his most trusted artifact fail, Gilgamesh slightly furrowed his brow.

'So I'll have to use that after all.'

As he thought this, a greenish-blue sphere suddenly struck the Vimana's wing.

After a violent explosion, the Golden Vessel plummeted straight toward the ground.

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately fired several reddish-green energy bullets, prepared to end the Hero King's life.

At that moment, a terrifying gust exploded with a roar, hammering down upon Li Ang like an iron mallet.

Boom—

Li Ang stood behind the shield formed from the greenish-blue sphere, turning his gaze to the golden-haired girl on the other side: "I thought you'd keep watching forever."

As he spoke, he flicked his right hand slightly, and a storm far more terrifying than the previous gust swept toward the ground.

Wild winds raged, tearing apart the earth in an instant; Saber barely dodged this attack, which could have crippled her.

Just as she was about to collapse, countless artifacts suddenly shot out from where the Vimana had fallen.

Boom boom boom—!

Explosions erupted in succession, illuminating the entire night sky like fireworks.

"Low cultivator," Gilgamesh, looking disheveled, stood midair holding a key-shaped sword: "Be proud—you've forced me to use this."

Seeing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression instantly brightened—he, as the Master, naturally knew his Servant's trump card.

He immediately pulled several gems from his pocket, ready to replenish mana for Gilgamesh's consumption.

'That's right—once this artifact eliminates Kirei's Servant, victory in this Holy Grail War belongs to the Tohsaka family.'

Despite Li Ang's repeated claims that he was not a Servant, Tohsaka Tokiomi still regarded him as the Servant summoned by the Matou family.

To be honest, the fact that a Servant had pushed the Hero King this far already left the Tohsaka patriarch incredulous.

In the sky, Gilgamesh coldly stared at the distant smoke, uninterested in what his Master was thinking.

He was willing to use that artifact only to tear the arrogant intruder into shreds.

As he twisted the key-shaped sword in his hand, a vast network of red magical circuits instantly extended into the sky.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—!

At that moment, five reddish-green spheres pierced through the smoke and arrived instantly before Gilgamesh—but were immediately blocked by an unknown defensive artifact.

Unlike his initial arrogance, the Hero King had shed his contempt.

Though the intruder filled him with fury, he could not deny the opponent's strength.

Soon, the magical circuits stretching across the heavens condensed, and a spiral-shaped longsword slowly emerged from the void before Gilgamesh.

【Excalibur: EA】.

This was his most powerful artifact, originating from the 【Epic of Creation】, classified as a 【World-Breaking Artifact】.

Without hesitation, Gilgamesh immediately gripped the EA with his right hand and raised it high.

Just as the Hero King successfully drew his trump card, Tohsaka Tokiomi on the ground had already begun fantasizing about touching the Root after winning the Holy Grail War.

But soon, a new worry arose.

That was—the EA's destructive radius was too vast; this strike would likely cause heavy casualties.

The worry did not last long; Tohsaka Tokiomi calmed his mind.

As long as he could touch the Root, a few commoners who weren't even magicians—let them die.

Too bad.

His champagne had been opened far too early.

As the EA spun, radiating crimson energy, a sudden voice rang out.

"You guys really are the ultimate beasts."

Before anyone could react, a blinding golden light slashed through the night sky, cleaving it cleanly in two.

Silence. Still silence.

The sudden turn left everyone frozen in shock.

After a long while, Tohsaka Tokiomi slowly came to his senses.

He forgot all about the dignity of the Moshuming Sect, his face twisted as he stared at Gilgamesh, now missing half his body.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but only emitted disbelieving whimpers.

Where's my huge Hero King?!

The Tohsaka patriarch never imagined his most trusted Hero King would die so cleanly—his strongest trump card hadn't even been unleashed before he was eliminated.

What the hell is this?!

The middle-aged man with a goatee collapsed helplessly onto the ground, fingers buried in his hair, face filled with disbelief.

Beside him, Irisviel stared at the scene in the sky with equal disbelief.

But unlike Tohsaka Tokiomi, this Einzbern homunculus was thinking:

Her husband's dream probably won't be realized now.

In the sky.

Li Ang watched Gilgamesh gradually dissipating into the air and sneered.

He wasn't an idiot; he wouldn't just stand there and let the opponent unleash their ultimate move.

Yes, Gilgamesh had indeed erected a defense, but the problem was that with his strength, he simply couldn't block Li Ang's current strongest attack.

Even if Li Ang had used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion: Youth Edition for speed.

'Gilgamesh is dead too; that leaves only Saber and Assassin.'

As Li Ang was thinking this, his expression suddenly turned strange, and he turned toward the Tohsaka residence.

After a brief silence, he couldn't help muttering: 'Emiya Kiritsugu's calculations are sharp, but why doesn't anyone believe me when I say I'm the Master?'

At that moment, Alice菲尔 touched her ear, then her expression froze.

She looked at Li Ang with an extremely complex gaze and sighed: 'I never expected you to be so straightforward.'

At these words, Saber immediately frowned.

After spending time with him, she knew well the nature of her Master: he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

Combined with the Master in the sky and Alice's words, Saber quickly understood what had happened.

Her Master realized he couldn't defeat the 'Servant' in the sky through direct combat, so he chose to act covertly and eliminate the opponent's 'Master.'

But the problem is—

Li Ang had never lied; he truly was Scathach's Master.

Meanwhile, inside the Tohsaka residence—

were Sakura Matou, who held the Command Seals on behalf of Li Ang and Scathach, seventeen Valkyries, and a considerable number of maid puppets.

Although Valkyries were weaker compared to other Servants, they were still far beyond what Emiya Kiritsugu could contend with, so he was honorably captured.

After a moment's thought, Li Ang made up his mind:

'If that's the case, then Saber doesn't need to be eliminated right away; having one more sample will make my research easier.'

Of course, the precondition for sparing Saber was first taking her away from Emiya Kiritsugu—but fortunately, that wasn't much of a problem for him and Scathach.

'I haven't eliminated Assassin yet, but can't this barely be counted as a successful speedrun?'

Thinking this, Li Ang slightly curled his lips.

New achievement unlocked! Speedrun Completed in One Night: Fourth Holy Grail War!
