Chapter 818: Golden Spark, Grounded and Rubbed
Chapter 818: Golden Spark, Grounded and Rubbed
It was out of the question for them to fight together, regardless of whether it was the Conqueror, the King of Knights, or even the Hero King, who had just been beaten up. They were all renowned rulers in history.
A one-on-one battle was already considered unfair, and if they fought together, it would truly be shameless.
The commotion from the fight between Yecheng and Gilgamesh quickly caught the attention of the others who were in a meeting at the mansion.
When Faruzuki Tokito saw his courtyard reduced to ruins and Yecheng floating in the air, he was completely dumbfounded.
They were still discussing battle strategies against Caster, but now the main target had come knocking on their door? In less than half a minute, Faruzuki Tokito analyzed the current situation and, with some displeasure, turned to the Conqueror and Saber, who were watching from the sidelines, and said, "Since we have temporarily formed an alliance, Caster is the enemy of us all.
Archer is at a disadvantage, yet you two are just standing by and doing nothing."
Even though they had formed an alliance, Faruzuki Tokito wanted the other Masters to scout out Caster first. However, he never expected that Caster would take the initiative and attack, and that Archer would be the first to fall victim. This was completely different from his initial plan.
In response to Faruzuki Tokito's questioning, the Conqueror and Saber paid no heed to him. After all, he wasn't their Master, so what right did he have to give them orders?
Faruzuki Tokito was at a loss for words, so he could only turn to the Conqueror and Saber's Masters, Waver Velvet and Shirou Emiya, and challenge them, "You two just agreed to the alliance. Do you want to back out now?"
The young Waver Velvet was taken aback by Faruzuki Tokito's sudden questioning and looked at the two-meter-tall tough guy with uncertainty.
The Conqueror, seeing his beloved humiliated, stepped forward and lifted Faruzuki Tokito with one hand, saying, "Archer challenged Caster on his own.
We have only temporarily formed an alliance, and we are not your subordinates. You have no right to command us to do anything."
Shirou Emiya looked at Yecheng and then at Gilgamesh, choosing to remain silent as well.
Like Faruzuki Tokito, he was an old fox, and the mutual attrition between Caster and Archer was beneficial to him. He had no reason to stick his neck out.
Saber, seeing Shirou Emiya's silence, breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Shirou Emiya would use Command Spells to make her do something against her knightly spirit.
"Kenneth, let Lancer join the fight. If Lancer and Archer work together, they have a high chance of defeating Caster.
After Caster is taken down, we can split the Command Spell rewards. You take three Command Spells, and I'll take two."
Kenneth, who had also intended to stay on the sidelines, began to hesitate after hearing Faruzuki Tokito's words.
Caster's combat skills were formidable, but Lancer was no pushover either. Even if they couldn't defeat Caster, they could certainly hold them off.
Gilgamesh, being an Archer, was understandable in close combat. As long as Lancer could restrain Caster and prevent them from getting close to Archer, their chances of victory were indeed high.
The importance of Command Spells in the Holy Grail War was undeniable. Once Caster, the target of many, was eliminated, their fragile alliance would inevitably fall apart, and they would each fight on their own again.
If Kenneth helped Faruzuki Tokito now, he would be offering much-needed assistance. After that, they might be able to continue their alliance with the others.
After all, once Caster and Assassin were eliminated, it was impossible for the other Masters to ally with Kenneth.
Waver Velvet needed no further explanation; Kenneth was now most eager to eliminate the opponent.
Shirou Emiya, the infamous disgrace of the magic world, was a descendant of a noble family within the magical community, but he disdained any association with them.
The Einzbern family, to which Kiryu Sakura belonged, was indeed of noble lineage, but the current Master was merely a young child.
Among the participants, only Faruzuki Tokito seemed somewhat acceptable in Kenneth's eyes.
"Lancer, assist Archer in defeating Caster!"
After a moment of hesitation, Kenneth ultimately commanded Diarmuid to take action.
He had no choice; given the current situation, this move was the most advantageous for him.
Even if he, like the others, chose to remain idle and wait for Caster to be worn down, there was no guarantee that Lancer would be able to claim the kill from Saber and the Hero King later.
Instead of waiting, it was better to maximize his interests. By joining forces with Faruzuki Tokito now, he could not only gain three Command Spells but also earn Tokito's trust and eventually eliminate the others.
Through the battle between Caster and Archer, Kenneth realized that the Primordial King, Gilgamesh, was indeed powerful, but his weakness was also apparent—his close-range combat abilities were lacking.
And close-quarter combat happened to be Lancer's specialty. When the Holy Grail War narrowed down to just Tokito and him, the outcome was still uncertain!
Upon hearing Kenneth's command, Diarmuid hesitated slightly but ultimately charged forward with his twin guns.
It was evident that adhering strictly to his knightly spirit was not feasible; all he wanted now was to bring victory to his lord, thereby alleviating his lord's misunderstanding of his existence.
However, just as Diarmuid prepared to rush towards Yecheng, a Heroic Spirit clad in silver armor and exuding a dark aura suddenly emerged from the side, blocking his path.
"Berserker, do you know what you're doing? Even if you don't want to help, you shouldn't assist Caster.
During the previous meeting, when we discussed how to deal with Caster, didn't you also agree?"
Seeing Berserker suddenly intercepting Lancer, both Tokito and Kenneth were taken aback and looked at Xiao Sakura with displeasure.
Leaving Kenneth aside, Tokito was genuinely infuriated when he saw Xiao Sakura ordering Berserker to act.
It's often said that a daughter is a father's little comforter, but for Tokito, his comforter was not only tattered but also riddled with countless holes!
"It's a simple matter; I was nearly caught in Archer's attack earlier, and Caster saved me. So, isn't it reasonable for me to return the favor now?
Besides, I only came to participate in this so-called meeting. When you discussed how to deal with Caster, I didn't oppose it, but I didn't agree either."
Xiao Sakura's calm words made Tokito and Kenneth's expressions even more unpleasant.
Especially for Tokito, seeing Gilgamesh, currently pinned down and frantically rubbed against the ground by Caster, his face turned anxious.
Earlier, Gilgamesh's "Fiery Heaven Over Sevenfold Ring" had blocked Yecheng's chi burst, but he was quickly overpowered and pinned down by Yecheng.
Golden Spark desperately wanted to use Ea, but he had no opportunity to do so. At this moment, he could only endure the relentless beating.
As the situation spiraled out of control, Tokito turned to Kirei Shiki on his side, hoping to command Assassin to assist.
Assassin's previous exit was merely a staged act, and if Assassin reappeared, the others present would likely realize that Tokito and Assassin's Master were in cahoots.
However, the current situation left Tokito with no room for hesitation. If things continued, Gilgamesh would indeed become the first Heroic Spirit to be eliminated!
