The Battle of the Holy Grail was nearing its end. Just last night, two more powerful Servants had left the battlefield.
He was one step closer to his long-cherished wish…
Although the battle conference with Ainsberg had mentioned that the opponent was very strong and Saber's relic was very threatening, Tokiomi believed that he would definitely win with the strongest trump card, the Hero King. Moreover, Saber's powerful relic had been restricted.
The price he had to pay was for his student, Yanfeng Qili, to leave Japan temporarily and avoid the whirlpool of the Holy Grail War. Anyway, he had already lost his Servant, so Yanfeng Qili's fate was no longer important in Tokiomi's eyes.
Although Sakura's sudden intervention had shocked him, Sakura had already lost her Servant, so she was relatively excluded from the Holy Grail War.
From the beginning to the end, Tokiomi had insisted that his actions were correct. Everything he had done was so that his two daughters could enjoy the rights of being the descendants of outstanding Magicians!
Yes…Yes, he was not wrong.
At this time, in the Yuan Ban mansion, late at night…Tokiomi was having a final meeting with his trusted disciple.
"The more you leave, the more I feel reluctant. "No matter what, I hope that you can inherit your father's will and continue to help the Toshaka family achieve our long-cherished wish..." Toshomi said.
"I'm really ashamed to have given you so much trouble at the end.”Qili raised her head and saw Shi Chen's sincere gaze. She couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Although I feel helpless and regretful, you should withdraw from this war, Qili.”Tokiomi looked at Yanfeng and said politely.
"Understood, my teacher." Yan Feng said courteously.
Tokiomi nodded in satisfaction and said,""I'm very happy that you can understand this. Previously, the cooperation with the Ainsberg family was rejected by the other party because of your existence. This was something that could not be helped. I hope you can understand me.”
"I know."
"You're a person who makes people feel at ease. I want my daughter to learn from you. After this Holy Grail War ends, Qili, you will be Ling's master and guide her."”
Then, Shi Chen took a letter that had been placed on the corner of the table and handed it to Qili.
"…Teacher, what is this?"
"Although it's written in a simple way, it can be considered a suicide note.”
Shi Chen said with a bitter smile.
"What if, although the probability is very low, it can happen. What if something happens to me? I'm writing here that I'll hand over the head of the Tosaka family to Ling, and you'll be her guardian until she comes of age. As long as he handed this letter to Clocktower, the association would naturally handle the rest.”
This time, Qili did not just give a perfunctory reply, but sincerely accepted the responsibility that Shi Chen had entrusted to her. After all, Qili was also a priest. It was his duty to carry out the responsibilities entrusted to him honestly and firmly.
"Please leave it to me. Even if my abilities are limited, I will do my best to take care of your daughter.”
"Thank you, Qili."
Too many unexpected things had happened in this war, and his plans were no longer able to control the overall situation like before. However, Tokiomi still wanted to fight, so he could only leave everything to his most trusted disciple.
Yan Fengqi kept the secret letter when she heard this.
Immediately, Yan Feng's gaze turned to a wooden box on the table. Strange runes were carved on it. Without a doubt, they were magic incantations.
"Hehe, this is my personal gift to you. Open it and take a look.”Tokiomi said with a smile.
Yan Feng opened the box with great courtesy. Inside was a beautifully decorated short sword.
"This is Azoth.”Tokiomi paused for a moment before continuing,"It's made from precious stones passed down from our ancestors. After being filled with magic power, it can be used as a gift…Use this as proof of your graduation from your apprenticeship in practicing the Divine-Dao of the Yuanban family.”
Yan Fengqi held the Mercury Sword in her hand and looked at it carefully."This disciple is not talented, yet you treat me with generous gifts….. I don't know how to thank you, teacher.”
Tokiomi waved his hand and said,"I should be the one thanking you, Yan Fengqili. In this way, I can face the final battle with peace of mind.”
Yan Feng fiddled with the Mercury Sword in his hand and caressed the blade. He held the short sword in his hand and examined it carefully. His gaze fell on the sharp blade of the short sword for a long time without moving away.
Tokiomi looked at the time and said,"It's already so late. I'm really sorry for asking you to stay for so long. I hope I didn't delay your flight.”
Tokiomi stood up and walked towards the door.
Yan Fengqili also slowly stood up, holding the Mercury Sword tightly in her hand. She looked at Tokiomi's back and revealed a ferocious smile.
"No, you don't have to worry, teacher.”
Or was this a necessity? Was this fate? No matter how much he prayed or hoped, was it just to lead everything to the abyss of betrayal?
Qili laughed out loud. She was more cheerful than ever.
The bright blade of the Mercury Sword pierced through Tokiomi's chest and instantly pierced through his heart.
" Don't worry, teacher.... Because I didn't book any plane tickets from the beginning..."
After saying that, Yan Fengqi pulled out the Mercury Sword from Tokiomi's chest. Blood gushed out of Tokiomi's chest with all his might. His face was filled with fear and disbelief, but he did not say a word until he died. Perhaps he was so shocked that he could not speak. He knew that he would probably die in the upcoming war, so he wrote his will in advance and handed it to his disciple.
However, Tokiomi had never thought that he would not die in the Holy Grail War, but by his most trusted disciple.
"Haha……Master…Just like my father, you didn't understand me until the last moment.”
The image of his father before his death appeared in his mind again. He thought of the fear and uneasiness at the beginning, then the confusion and confusion…and then the faint joy…It was as if his father's death was something he had been silently looking forward to.
Unfortunately…I didn't kill my father with my own hands.
A golden dot of light suddenly appeared beside Tokiomi's corpse. It was Tokiomi's Servant…Archer: The Hero King, Gilgamesh, appeared in the room.
Archer looked at Tokiomi's corpse with a hint of disgust. He smiled and said,""I was still looking forward to his counterattack before he died. Look at his blank expression. He didn't realize how stupid he was until the end.”
Yan Fengqi's face also showed disdain towards Tokiomi. She smiled and said,""After all, he has arranged for a Spirit Body Servant to be by his side. No wonder he was so careless.”
Hearing Qili's sarcasm, Archer laughed out loud.
" You've learned to tease me so quickly..... Your speed of improvement is worthy of praise."
"How is it, Qili? Are you feeling less indignant about not being able to kill your father with your own hands?”
"You really have no objections, right? Hero King, Gilgamesh!" Yan Feng stood up and said to Jin Shan.
"As long as you don't make me sick of you…" Otherwise, Qili, the person who would be asked this question would be you.”
Yan Feng rolled up his left sleeve and revealed the command spell on his left arm. He said," Listen to my command. My life is with your sword, and I am summoned by the Holy Grail. If you are willing to obey my will, from now on…"
" I hereby swear that your offerings will become my flesh and blood. Yan Fengqili, my new Master…"
At this moment, the command spell on Yan Fengqili's left arm emitted a strange red light.
" Alright, Qili, let's begin. We'll use your plan to bring the curtain to the perfect end of this comedy.... As a reward, This King shall bestow upon you the Holy Grail!”
" I have no objections. Hero King, please enjoy yourself.... Before I get a satisfying answer, I'm willing to be a clown…"
The red pupils that were filled with joy intertwined with the black pupils that were immersed in emotion.
