A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096: Chapter 752 Singularity? Chapter 1096: Chapter 752 Singularity? But at this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka had already lost the grace and elegance he possessed earlier. His suit was tattered and in disarray. Seeing the state Tokiomi Tohsaka was in surprised everyone, yet in his eyes, he no longer saw them; his gaze was locked onto the Holy Grail, his eyes shining with fervor.

“The Grail, the Grail is mine!”

Tokiomi Tohsaka had gone stark raving mad, bringing ASSASSIN to follow Duanmu Huai and his companions to the location of the Holy Grail. Although he was clueless about what these people were up to, Tokiomi Tohsaka had guessed that they were probably after the Holy Grail.

Therefore, Tokiomi Tohsaka thought of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the Yellow Sparrow behind it. What of it if the Grail descends? I still have ASSASSIN! The ASSASSIN from his disciple, although not strong in combat, was first-class in assassination. As long as I could kill SABER's Master and then get rid of CASTER, the Grail would be mine for the taking!

Yes, Tokiomi Tohsaka's thought process was sound, but unfortunately, his mind was no longer stable at this time. He had lost his SAN value, and consumed by fear, Tokiomi Tohsaka had lost the ability to think clearly. Thus, without any hesitation, he made a decision and commanded ASSASSIN to enter the Holy Grail!

And then he was wiped out by the Barrier cast by CASTER.

Duanmu Huai and Medea were not fools. Countless were the times in games and movies where the hero, after great hardship, had just obtained the treasure when the BOSS would take it away. So right from the start when they arrived here, Medea had laid out an Array trap to forbid any entry.

SABER and Alice Phil could enter before because Medea temporarily disabled the magic trap, but for such a big event as disassembling the Holy Grail, how could she possibly leave the door open?

As a result, Tokiomi Tohsaka could only watch as the ASSASSIN he summoned revealed itself under a Command Spell, lunged forward as commanded, and then just like that, vanished.

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka truly went insane.

The Grail is mine! It belongs to me!!

If it had been the usual Tokiomi Tohsaka, he would have fled by now. Like he said to Duanmu Huai before, if he could not win, there was still his daughter, and as long as the Tohsaka family lineage did not end, there would be a day to obtain the Grail.

But now, Tokiomi Tohsaka's rationality had long been abnormal, and his desire for the Grail, coupled with fear, was overwhelming. He couldn't forget that night, the figure that killed ARCHER, so like a Demon God, where his fear completely erupted. He could not forget that figure, as if the moment he opened his eyes, he would be killed.

That's why he was desperate to get the Grail, as in Tokiomi Tohsaka's mind, if he could only get the Grail, he would not fear being killed by Duanmu Huai!

So when Tokiomi Tohsaka saw his Servants getting destroyed, the string that was already taut in his heart simply snapped!

No! I'm not finished yet! The Grail is mine!

Thus, Tokiomi Tohsaka charged into the vast hollow, and at a glance, saw the black sphere brimming with magic power.

However, at that moment, the black sphere too began to erupt, its evil magic power spreading like waves, forcing even SABER to retreat backward. Although she had no idea what it actually was, her Heroic Spirit's instincts urgently warned her not to even touch it!

At the same time, Tokiomi Tohsaka also turned his head and saw Duanmu Huai, whose face suddenly changed drastically!

“Don't come near! Demon! I won't be killed by you! I will obtain the Grail! I'll destroy you! Destroy you!”

Shouting, Tokiomi Tohsaka stumbled frantically toward that embodiment of evil of this world, and that same embodiment of evil, as if finding new life in a hopeless situation, rushed towards Tokiomi Tohsaka with the speed of thunder, completely engulfing him!

“Aaaaaaahhhh!!!”

Soon enough, the power of the evil of this world completely devoured Tokiomi Tohsaka, and a scream ensued. Right after, everyone saw that black, slime-like evil magic power adhere to Tokiomi Tohsaka's body, and in the blink of an eye, Tokiomi Tohsaka turned into a figure resembling a mud man wrapped in chocolate.

The evil of this world had found its vessel!

“Hahahahahaha!!!”

The cries of a baby from before now turned into laughter. It had separated from the Grail and gained a physical body. What followed would be its rampage, destroying everything in sight………

However, at that moment, an iron claw reached out without any concern for the evil-infused black mud, grabbed the head of the evil entity of this world, and lifted it.

The next instant, flames erupted.

Black flames emerged from Duanmu Huai's hands, while Tokiomi Tohsaka's body slowly vanished in the engulfing black flames of Predetermined Death. The infinitely powerful magic that wrapped around him, which hadn't even had the chance to show the slightest presence, was utterly annihilated by Duanmu Huai's strength.

There was no exhilarating battle, no back and forth combat; for Duanmu Huai, eliminating an underdeveloped subspace entity was effortless.

“Is it… over?”

It must be said that even SABER was somewhat stunned by this scene, knowing the sheer vastness and seemingly limitless evil magic power of the evil entity. SABER had thought a great battle was in store. That was it?

“The evil entity of this world made a wrong decision.”

At that time, Medea had completely disassembled the Holy Grail and came to Duanmu Huai's side, explaining to SABER, with even Alice Phil nodding.

Of course, they knew why Duanmu Huai could destroy the evil entity so easily. In fact, if the original plan had gone ahead to condense the evil entity into a Servant, a major battle might have indeed happened. Because the evil entity truly connected to the Holy Grail possessed infinite evil magic power, if it had materialized based on its own strength, it certainly would have created an enemy comparable to the previous ARCHER.

However, the evil entity made a misguided choice: it possessed Tokiomi Tohsaka.

To be honest, as a magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka's quality was not really high.

At the very least, he was no genius magician.

This led to a problem–Tokiomi Tohsaka could only channel a limited amount of magic power.

Before the evil entity possessed him, it was like a surging sea, and everyone understands the destructive power of a tsunami, capable of destroying everything in its path.

But after the possession, the boundless sea turned into a confined swimming pool, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was the pool's faucet. That is to say, no matter how powerful the evil entity's strength was, it could only surge out as much as the faucet allowed!

So although SABER felt the enemy possessed boundless evil magic power, as far as Tokiomi Tohsaka was concerned, he could unleash an attack with a maximum of 500 magic power value, not even 501.

Under these circumstances, whether his magic power was 1000 or infinite became irrelevant.

“Alright, that wraps it up.”

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands and then looked at both, Medea and Alice Phil, who also nodded.

“The Holy Grail is now dismantled.”

“With this, my role comes to an end.”

At the same time, a golden glow emitted from SABER's body. After all, with the Holy Grail gone, the Heroic Spirit reliant on the Holy Grail would naturally disappear. She looked towards Alice Phil and nodded.

“Goodbye, Alice Phil.”

“…Thank you, SABER.”

“Don't mention it. In the next Holy Grail war, I definitely won't lose.”

“Heh, then you'll have to pray that you don't run into me again.”

Hearing the exchange between SABER and Alice Phil, Duanmu Huai quietly interjected from the side. Upon hearing his words, SABER's face subtly changed, but he maintained his silence–and then disappeared into thin air.

“So, this means everything is finished now.”

Duanmu Huai looked towards Mash, who nodded in response.

“Yes, Doctor Roman has confirmed that the Singularity is being repaired.”

“That's good.”

While saying this, Duanmu Huai turned to look at Alice Phil.

“Then, Miss Alice Phil, you wouldn't mind coming with us to Chaldea, would you?”

“Ah… Yes, alright.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Alice Phil's face turned faintly red before she lowered her head.

“I am not very talented; please guide me.”

“…Hmm? Why is your face red?”

Noticing Alice Phil's shy demeanor, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow, and the latter, with a blush, shyly looked towards the ground.

“Because… I am now your Servant, right?”

“That's right.”

“So, our relationship… is almost like that of a husband and wife, isn't it?”

“…Haah?”

Not only was Duanmu Huai stunned, but Medea and Mash were as well.

“The me who has dismantled the Holy Grail is now a traitor to the Einzbern Family, and now that I am a Servant who can only exist by relying on the magic power of you, my Master…”

While speaking, Alice Phil timidly raised her head to look at Duanmu Huai.

“So, doesn't that mean I can only live for you now, MASTER? So, isn't our relationship like that of a husband and wife?”

“Is there such a saying?”

Duanmu Huai turned to look at Mash and Medea, the former hurriedly shaking her head.

“No, this… it's not like that…”

However, Medea looked at Alice Phil with some dissatisfaction.

“I was the first to be with MASTER, so I won't just let you have him.”

“Ah, right, Miss Medea, you too are MASTER's Servant.”

Hearing this, Alice Phil also showed a smile and took Medea's hand.

“So from now on, as MASTER's Servants, let's work hard together.”

“Yes, of course, having everyone loving and supporting each other is the best!”

“…What is this mess?”

Watching the two holding hands and smiling at each other, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

“In any case, let's go back.”

Although Duanmu Huai had no idea what these two were thinking, he only thought about discussing it back home; however…

“What do you mean? We can't go back?”

Staring at the communication image of Roman in front of him, Duanmu Huai was clearly irked.

“No, it's not that, but the system has detected another Singularity following yours, so it can't retrieve you.”

“Is it Alice Phil?”

“That's not it.”

Roman shook his head.

“She is the Holy Grail, and retrieving the Holy Grail is within Chaldea's official duties, so it's no problem for her to come to Chaldea.”

“Then whom are you talking about… You're not saying it's Sakura, are you?”

“Yes.”

Roman nodded his head.

“Although I don't know who this girl named Sakura is, according to the system, her existence is extremely important to this Singularity. In fact, if she isn't in this world, we won't be able to repair this Singularity.”

“So this kid is now tied to saving the world?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brow, visibly annoyed.

“That is to say, we can't bring her back to Chaldea?”

“That's right… I'm very sorry.”

“Alright, no need to apologize.”

Duanmu Huai impatiently cut off Roman's words, then knitted his eyebrows.

“It seems then, I'll just have to think of a solution.”
