A clean and swift kill! Even though they seemed to be alive, the overwhelming number of Noble Phantasms and that... aura of dominance lingered in everyone's minds for a long time.
With the fourth one appearing, both Saber and Diarmuid became wary again, secretly speculating that this must be the only remaining of the three knights.
At the same time, this person's... even more arrogant attitude made people frown.
The King of Conquerors reacted the fastest, scratching his chin as if feigning ignorance, and said, "Even if you say that, I am still the world's famous King of Conquerors."
"Don't joke around. In this world, only I truly deserve the title of king. The rest are nothing but a bunch of bastards."
His expression was full of disdain and contempt.
Although Kenneth was the first to speak.
However, his tone was just unpleasant; his actual words didn't carry much provocation.
In contrast, the Conqueror King's attitude was much more forceful and domineering.
Domineering behavior naturally attracts even more domineering and unreasonable insults.
4. Yes, it's an insult! He used the term "bastard" to address two renowned and great kings and mythical heroes.
Such an extremely contemptuous word is used to describe the form of address.
If the Conqueror King was still able to remain calm, then this... Knight King's face was unbelievably cold.
Fortunately, Iskandar took the initiative and asked a question in a seemingly relaxed tone.
"Since you've put it that way, why don't you tell me your name?"
"If you were a true king, you wouldn't be afraid to even reveal your own name, would you?"
But his questioning was seen as an offense by the latter, whose arrogant eyes were filled with anger as he lowered his voice and said, "You bastard, are you questioning me?"
The intense killing intent was even greater than that released by Hattori Hanzo earlier.
Five minutes ago.
Leaning against the wall, his ailing body panting heavily, Matou Kariya, accompanied by the black-armored Heroic Spirit, suddenly became excited.
What did he see?! Tokiomi Tohsaka's Servant! Even though he looked terminally ill, it couldn't stop his restless desires.
In his view, as long as he could kill Tokiomi Tohsaka's heroic spirit, he would have already won most of the battle against Tokiomi Tohsaka.
Kariya, a complete novice magician, had no idea how terrifying the power of Heroic Spirits truly was, or what Lancelot, with only one class, could possibly accomplish in this complex environment.
But he couldn't wait.
Just as he was about to give the order, a man with his hands behind his back appeared behind him.
I advise you not to be so impulsive.
The faint sound made the wild goose tremble.
Turning around quickly, Yan Yeji, supporting her arm, looked at the person who had spoken in the shadows.
Suddenly, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Oh, it seems you're very curious."
The newcomer smirked, "What's going on? Who's that over there... and who are you?"
"It's all my fault."
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm just advising you not to be so hasty. In your current state, you simply can't kill them. To put it bluntly, if Tokiomi Tohsaka were just a little bolder, he could defeat all the heroes present at once."
Yours is the same.
Seeing the other person's relaxed expression, Matou Kariya, whose health was already poor, looked even more unpleasant: "So you're here to mock me?"
"No, I've come to ask to join forces with you."
The "real Kenneth" standing in front of him
Aizen's smile was somewhat infectious.
Having calmed down somewhat, Kariya's expression turned indifferent: "I don't need to join forces."
"No, no, no, you need it."
Aizen's voice was incredibly seductive.
What exactly are you trying to say?
Feeling somewhat annoyed, Ya Ye frowned.
"You had a conflict with Kirei Kotomine today, and it seems you mentioned Tokiomi Tohsaka's youngest daughter, Sakura Tohsaka."
Aizen didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said, "No, according to the information I've gathered, it should already be Matou Sakura."
I can tell you're not in good health; it looks like it might be related to the worms inside you.
If I'm not mistaken, that little girl has probably had a similar experience, and you want to save her.
Matou Kariya's heart sank; he hadn't expected the other party to deduce so much information from just a few words.
However, if he knew that the guy who gave him such a big shock this morning was the same man in front of him, he would probably immediately...
I'm so tempted to summon winged beetles and gnaw the opponent to pieces.
"!"
"Roar!"
Uneasy, Yan Ye instinctively became wary.
Aizen casually raised his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. There's a reason why I said I wanted to form an alliance with you."
You don't actually need the Holy Grail; all you need is to save that... little girl named Matou Sakura.
"This insect magic is utterly inferior to me. Eliminating these insects would be a piece of cake for me. If I can help you save Matou Sakura, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to help me win, would it?"
Why should I believe you?
Yan Ye paused for a moment before speaking.
He did not refuse outright.
Aizen had anticipated this, and even though Kariya had his own selfish motives and would never ask Tokiomi Tohsaka to rescue Sakura.
But aside from Tokiomi, he wouldn't mind rescuing Sakura from the den of demons by any other means.
Kariya Matou wasn't truly stupid. How could a novice magician like him guarantee victory in a war between seven magicians from seven different groups vying for the Holy Grail?
"I can pull some of the worms out of your body right now, are you willing to bet?"
""
Matou Kariya remained silent.
If this person deceives him and takes the opportunity to kill him, then he will truly have no hope.
Even if he's willing to sacrifice his life to save Sakura, he still has to be able to save her, not just die in vain.
Seeing this, Aizen was not in a hurry.
In the Holy Grail War, everyone is an opponent, so it's perfectly normal to remain vigilant.
"So, do you know who I am?"
"of."
Matou Kariya looked at Aizen with some confusion.
Aizen thought to himself that this guy didn't know, and couldn't help but reveal a confident smile: "It seems you really don't know much about magicians."
My name needs no introduction, but I am one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, the holy land of magicians, and one of the few color-position magicians in this world.
Let me explain it this way: magicians are divided into different ranks, seven ranks in total: the youngest, the eldest, the opening position, the sacrificial position, the ceremonial position, the color position, and the crown position.
The "crown" position represents a domain.
"In other words, the highest level of magic is the 'color rank,' while your father, Zouken Matou, or Makiri Zolgen, is merely a 'classic rank,' and I am a 'color rank'!"
Even though Kariya didn't know much about the details of magic, such an obvious description still made his pupils shrink slightly.
Is it the highest level?
He murmured softly, then couldn't help but ask, "What about me and Tokiomi Tohsaka?"
"Tokiomi Tohsaka's registered rank with the Mage's Association is Priest, and his true level is likely Priest, or even possibly Nobunaga, but definitely not Color Rank."
Your situation is rather unusual. Strictly speaking, your ability is borrowed from Zouken Matou; you yourself know nothing about magic.
By standard criteria, you wouldn't even qualify as a junior member; even purely in terms of combat strength, you wouldn't surpass the Open Rank.

"Is the difference really that big?"
Matou Kariya gritted her teeth, a hint of disappointment visibly flashing across her eyes.
As an outsider, Aizen didn't offer any comfort. It wasn't that Matou Kariya lacked the talent to become a magician, but rather that he didn't want to.
Even if some of the Matou family's magic is "insect magic".
Because of that... disgusting thing, Matou Kariya still gave up the possibility of going down that path.
After all, if he really wanted to, he could easily go to the Clock Tower for further studies.
The Clock Tower isn't off-limits to magicians without magic crests, especially those from magic families who possess magic circuits.
Since you've given up, isn't it only natural that you're not as good as others?
Even though Aizen himself found Tokiomi Tohsaka somewhat boring, Tokiomi had undoubtedly put in a tremendous amount of effort to achieve his current strength and build the Tohsaka family into what it is today.
Compared to Kariya's ordinary and peaceful life, Tokiomi's hard work and dedication behind the scenes far surpass what Kariya could ever achieve.
In this Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka is the second strongest Master after Kenneth.
Matou Kariya's question can be described as self-humiliation.
Fortunately, he adjusted his mindset relatively quickly, suppressing his resentment as he hoarsely said, "Then why should I believe you will help me? You yourself said you are a Color Position Magician. If you just want to use me or eliminate me when I'm not prepared, I have no room to resist."
"So I can treat that little girl for you first."
Aizen remained calm.
Kariya Matou frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then asked another question: "How can you guarantee that you will successfully rescue Sakura, and how can you guarantee that you won't alert that old bug during the rescue?"
Even this… “Kenneth”
Even if Kariya bluntly states that the insect magic is extremely inferior, he won't completely believe it.
Because the other party mentioned that the old bug was also a rank magician, second only to the rank of color magician.
A true genius from a wealthy family would certainly disdain studying and researching such dirty magic; how could he guarantee he could save Sakura in this field?
Despite not being angry, Aizen showed some displeasure as he was repeatedly questioned.
"As expected of a newbie, questioning my abilities with such a simple question."
"Remember, from childhood to adulthood, no type of magic trick has ever stumped me; my talent is flawless!"
After a moment's thought, Matou Kariya said, "Then I can agree to your request for now, but I won't waste Command Seals or make sacrifices lightly until you resolve Sakura's problem."
Also, Sakura has been under the watchful eye of the old bug. If you want to secretly take Sakura away, you have to think of a way.
"certainly."
Aizen's face radiated an infectious confidence: "If I couldn't even do something this simple, I wouldn't have come to cooperate with you."
"You bastard, are you questioning me?"
Gilgamesh's jewel-like crimson eyes glared at the Conqueror King with murderous intent: "If you cannot even know my name when you personally experience my glory, then you are ignorant."
Swish! A dense array of golden halos formed behind the golden king, and various swords, spears, and halberds of different shapes slowly emerged.
A chilling aura emanated from these weapons.
Everyone present felt the immense power contained within; each of these weapons was undoubtedly a Noble Phantasm! Hiding in the shadows, Kiritsugu Emiya gently moved the muzzle of his gun.
The danger level is higher than 1, because Tokiomi Tohsaka was not present.
He abandoned the sniping plan.
