“As for your concern that I might kill you and your fiancée Sola after you order Lancer to commit suicide, there's no need to worry. Your student, Waver, is also Rider's Master. Although I killed Rider, I have no interest in Waver. I can be ruthless for victory, but I have no intention of exterminating enemies who have already admitted defeat.”
“Should this self-proclaimed knight, the useless Lancer, commit suicide here to gain favor with me, the King Arthur, or should I spend a little time to deal with him, and then not have enough time to notify my subordinates near your fiancée?”
“So, make your choice, Lancer's Master.”
After Wang Xiaoming finished speaking, he stopped talking and silently waited for Kenneth's reply.
“Lord!”
Lancer looked at Kenneth in panic. He didn't want Kenneth to agree to Wang Xiaoming's request. He would rather be beaten to death by Wang Xiaoming and die as a warrior than commit suicide!
But Kenneth's expression made him understand that there was no hope.
The furious Lancer rushed towards Wang Xiaoming. He wanted to take action before Kenneth made a decision!
However, he had only taken one step when Kenneth's voice came from behind him.
“By Command Spell, commit suicide, Lancer!”
Lancer's figure froze.
400. Swearing in the name of King Arthur, Lancer died by suicide!
Although Kenneth was very arrogant, he was essentially a good person. Among magicians, there were not many good people like Kenneth, especially towards his fiancée, he was truly devoted. For Sola's sake, he agreed to let Lancer commit suicide, but unfortunately, after Lancer committed suicide, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately had Maiya kill Sola on the spot.
Therefore, if Sola was used to threaten Kenneth, Kenneth would definitely be willing to let Lancer commit suicide. As for whether someone was really going to find Sola, that didn't matter, because Wang Xiaoming's strength made it impossible for Kenneth not to believe it. Instantly killing Lancer, then brutally killing Rider, and then directly assassinating Archer, after killing two Servants in a row, he still looked like he was in full condition. How could they fight?
Kenneth had reason to suspect that if he refused Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoming would directly kill Lancer and then kill him. At that time, Sola might also be killed by Wang Xiaoming's subordinates.
So, for Sola's sake, Kenneth chose to let Lancer commit suicide.
“By Command Spell, commit suicide, Lancer!”
Under the Command Spell, Lancer's eyes widened, anger and pain concentrated on his face, and then in pain, he thrust the short spear in his hand into his own heart, and then glared at Kenneth with a ferocious expression, cursing Kenneth, cursing Wang Xiaoming.
The scene was extremely cruel, making even Kenneth, the emotionless magician, a little apprehensive.
Wang Xiaoming watched Lancer being stabbed to death by his own short spear, and then turning into magic power and dissipating, before nodding in satisfaction and turning to leave.
“I have already ordered my subordinates to withdraw. Your fiancée is safe and sound.”
When leaving, he also left such a sentence, which made Kenneth breathe a sigh of relief. After taking another look at the place where Lancer disappeared, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Servant Lancer exited the stage.
So far, on the first night of the Holy Grail War, three Servants had already exited the stage.
As the vessel of the Lesser Grail, Irisviel once again felt the pressure. She even felt a little breathless. She was bearing a weight that her body could not bear.
Wang Xiaoming, who had solved Lancer with his words, returned to the battlefield. On the battlefield, there was now Berserker, who was forcibly controlled by Matou Kariya, and Saber, who was embraced by Merlin.
“It seems that you have solved Lancer, Wang,”
Merlin immediately shouted happily after seeing Wang Xiaoming return.
“That's right, Lancer was so ashamed by what I said that he committed suicide.”
Wang Xiaoming shamelessly said something that stunned everyone present. What are you talking about? How could you even say such a thing?
“Don't you believe me?”
Wang Xiaoming frowned as he looked at the expressions of the others, and then raised his left hand.
“I swear in the name of King Arthur, Lancer committed suicide.”
This time, everyone's eyes widened.
He even swore in the name of King Arthur, which meant that Lancer really committed suicide. Could it be that he was really ashamed by what he said and committed suicide?
Lancer must be sick!
Such thoughts couldn't help but emerge in Merlin's mind. The area where Wang Xiaoming was just now was separated from them by a distance, so the people here didn't hear what Wang Xiaoming and Kenneth said. Therefore, Wang Xiaoming's oath made them think that perhaps Lancer really had a problem with his brain.
Lancer left the stage just like that. Even after he left the stage, no one knew what Lancer's real name was. Rider at least introduced himself and had the Noble Phantasm of the King's Army, which made everyone present remember him. Although Archer didn't introduce himself, Wang Xiaoming called out his name, so everyone knew that he was Gilgamesh. Only Lancer, no one knew anything, didn't know what the Noble Phantasm was, didn't know what the real name was, just came silently and then died silently.
Three Servants appeared at once. Excluding the fake death of Assassin, there were only three Servants left, and all three remaining Servants were here!
In other words, the ultimate victory of this Holy Grail War could be decided here soon!
It was clearly a battle of seven classes, which should have been a melee, with each other scheming, but it turned into a scene where five classes other than Assassin were directly swept away by Caster's King Arthur. How strange was this scene? This King Arthur was simply outrageous!
Even Merlin, who was summoned by Wang Xiaoming, was very surprised. As Wang Xiaoming's Servant, he was the most able to sense the magic power in Wang Xiaoming's Master's body. In his perception, the magic power in Wang Xiaoming's body had never been lower than 90%! The lowest time was also close to 90%, but then it quickly recovered to full. Was the King Arthur of the parallel world so terrifying!
Wang Xiaoming's return made the atmosphere tense again.
“Irisviel, can you contact Kiritsugu?”
Saber whispered to Irisviel behind her. In the current situation, she really couldn't make up her mind and could only ask Irisviel behind her to see if Emiya Kiritsugu, who had many conspiracies and tricks, had any ideas.
“I'm sorry, Saber, I can't contact Kiritsugu now either. According to Kiritsugu's plan, we will not contact each other during this period of separation. We will only conduct the first information feedback when we return to the castle.”
But unfortunately, in their current state, they had no chance to return to the castle at all, unless the King Arthur in front of them took the initiative to let them go, otherwise they couldn't leave at all.
“Is that so? I understand.”
Saber, who received feedback from Irisviel, looked worried, looking at Merlin and Wang Xiaoming opposite her, completely not knowing how to fight. She couldn't beat one person already, let alone Merlin, whose swordsmanship was the same as hers. The Berserker next to her was also directly controlled by the other party's Master and couldn't move at all, unable to help her.
It was also thanks to Berserker being controlled by Matou Kariya, otherwise Saber would have been pleasantly surprised to find that Berserker, who had lost Archer as a target, would directly jump up and help Wang Xiaoming beat her!
“Then, there are only a few of us left. The ultimate winner of the Holy Grail War will also be decided among us, right?”
Wang Xiaoming was not in a hurry to kill Saber, after all, she was Merlin's good friend, and he was not in a hurry to kill Berserker, after all, Wang Xiaoming still needed to use Matou Kariya in the rear.
“Caster, what exactly happened to Sakura that you mentioned before? Where exactly did you take Sakura?”
Matou Kariya was more impatient and began to question Wang Xiaoming after Wang Xiaoming returned.
“You're really impatient, Matou Kariya. Didn't Matou Zouken tell you?”
“He just told me that Sakura was hidden by him. If I want to see Sakura, I will participate in the Holy Grail War in his place!”
As soon as Sakura was mentioned, Matou Kariya didn't mean to hide anything at all and directly sold the old bug, saying everything he knew.
As expected, the old bug was not dead, and then he fooled Matou Kariya, the idiot, and made him honestly work for him.
"So, he didn't tell you that Sakura has already been given to my master?"
"What!?"
Matou Kariya was so surprised that he even jumped out from his hiding place behind.
401. Saber, you wouldn't want Illya to lose her mother, would you?
Regarding Matou Kariya, Wang Xiaoming didn't know if he was into married women or lolis. Initially, he was very concerned about Tohsaka Aoi, but later he was too cowardly, which led to Tohsaka Aoi marrying Tohsaka Tokiomi. After Tohsaka Aoi married Tohsaka Tokiomi, she gave birth to two daughters, Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura.
Then, Matou Kariya turned his attention to these two sisters, especially this time when he came back from the outside. It was because he knew that Tohsaka Sakura had been sent to the Matou family and became Matou Sakura. Knowing what kind of guy Matou Zouken was, Matou Kariya knew that Sakura would definitely suffer, so he came back. But he couldn't see Sakura at all. If he wanted to see Sakura, he had to help Matou Zouken participate in the Holy Grail War.
As a result, now, as soon as he heard the news about Sakura, he immediately jumped out.
Matou Kariya, who jumped out of the shadows, looked very embarrassed. Although he was wearing casual clothes, half of his face was twisted. He held his right hand with his left hand, leaned against the container, and stared at Wang Xiaoming with wide eyes.
"Tell me quickly, where is Sakura?"
"Sakura is with my master, she is very safe, you can rest assured. If you are not at ease, you can follow me to see Sakura later."
Wang Xiaoming looked at Berserker next to him.
"As for Berserker, don't think that your Berserker can fight against me. You should understand that he is not my opponent, and no one is more familiar with his identity than me."
Matou Kariya looked at Berserker controlled by him, and then looked at Wang Xiaoming. He acknowledged what Wang Xiaoming said.
Wang Xiaoming's current identity is Artoria Pendragon, and the Berserker controlled by Matou Kariya is Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, one of the Knights of the Round Table. Although Lancelot's reputation as the First Knight of the Round Table is high, he is ultimately not Artoria Pendragon's opponent.
Moreover, in the battle scenes just now, Wang Xiaoming's combat was something Berserker couldn't do at all. At that time, he would probably be beaten to death.
Especially the scene of Wang Xiaoming releasing Excalibur just now made Matou Kariya seriously suspect how the rebellion in Great Britain happened in history. Especially Lancelot, how dare he cuckold Artoria Pendragon? Wouldn't he be directly killed by Artoria Pendragon on the spot? How did he survive?
"Very good, it seems you agree with what I said. You can come with me to see Sakura later."
As for whether Matou Kariya believes him or not, Wang Xiaoming thinks Matou Kariya will believe him, because as long as Sakura is mentioned, he will definitely believe it. Moreover, Wang Xiaoming plans to save him later, after all, Wang Xiaoming will run away after the Holy Grail War is over, and Merlin will also return to Avalon. At that time, Sakura will still need someone to take care of her, and Matou Kariya is Wang Xiaoming's designated nanny.
After simply appeasing Matou Kariya, Wang Xiaoming looked at the Saber combination next to him. His gaze crossed Saber and fell directly on Irisviel.
"Your body should already be overwhelmed, right? As long as one more servant withdraws, you won't even be able to walk."
Saber looked at Wang Xiaoming, very puzzled, what is this person talking about?
However, Irisviel clearly understood what Wang Xiaoming meant. He was not talking to Saber, he was talking to herself, which meant that he understood her identity as the Lesser Grail.
From the beginning, she had already been targeted by him!
Supporting her heavy body, Irisviel spoke to Saber.
"Saber, run away quickly."
"Irisviel?"
Saber looked at Irisviel in confusion.
"His target is me, Saber, you run away quickly, only in this way can you still have a chance, otherwise you will have no chance at all."
Irisviel tried her best to ask Saber to run away, but Saber's stubbornness made her unable to understand Irisviel's meaning at all. She didn't understand what Irisviel was saying, even if she understood, she wouldn't leave Irisviel.
"It seems that this Miss Holy Grail already understands her next fate."
Merlin directly understood why Irisviel asked Saber to run away. Looking at Saber's blank look, he took the initiative to tell Saber the answer.
"Holy Grail?"
Saber looked at Irisviel, who was already panting heavily, in surprise.
"That's right, the Einzbern family's homunculus is also the vessel of the Lesser Grail in the Holy Grail War. She is the Lesser Grail that guides the descent of the Greater Grail in this Holy Grail War. If you want to see the Holy Grail, you need to sacrifice her!"
Wang Xiaoming added, telling Saber this cruel fact. She had been living with Irisviel ever since she was summoned, and the two had developed a lot of tacit understanding and feelings. Now telling her that the person she had sworn to protect would be sacrificed to the Holy Grail, it was simply a joke!
"No, it's not like this, Irisviel, this is not true!"
However, the slightly pale smile on Irisviel's face made Saber understand that what Wang Xiaoming said was true.
"Of course, you can also prevent her from being sacrificed to the Holy Grail, provided that I give her a new heart."
"So Saber, what choice will you make? Will you stop me, and then let me kill you, and finally sacrifice her in exchange for the descent of the Holy Grail, or let me give her a new heart and replace the Lesser Grail in her body?"
Wang Xiaoming didn't have any good feelings for Irisviel, because he wasn't a fan of Irisviel, but he didn't have any bad feelings either. Wang Xiaoming didn't like Kiritsugu Emiya, but he still treated Irisviel as a normal person, especially this homunculus who had only been born for a few years, and was still a child's mother.
So Wang Xiaoming plans to save her, help her change a heart, so that Irisviel can survive, and the Lesser Grail will naturally be in Wang Xiaoming's hands.
"Saber, you don't want this young mother to die like this, do you? Her child is still waiting for her to go home."
You even know this!
Irisviel and Saber looked at Wang Xiaoming in surprise. Besides the Einzbern family, no one should know about Illya! But the Wang Xiaoming in front of them actually knows! How complete is his information gathering?
"I choose to have Irisviel get a new heart!"
"Saber!"
"Irisviel, I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your wish, because I don't have enough ability. What I can do now is to protect your life as much as possible."
Saber put down the sword in her hand and compromised with Wang Xiaoming. Although she wanted to realize her wish and wanted to get the Holy Grail, she felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of her heart in the face of Wang Xiaoming. It was impossible to defeat Wang Xiaoming, let alone face-to-face, probably even an attack wouldn't work, because Wang Xiaoming was too powerful. As a Caster, his close combat ability was explosive, his Noble Phantasm power was explosive, and he was even good at assassination!
So, she chose to give up her wish in exchange for Irisviel's survival, at least this way she could allow Illya, who was far away in Germany, to have her mother.
"Very good, now that you have all made your choices, then, go with Merlin."
"Huh?"
Merlin pointed at his nose.
"Go with me? Wang, you're not mistaken, are you?"
"Not mistaken, Merlin, you take them to my base, and the Berserker over there too. Let Matou Kariya go see Sakura."
"Then what about you, Wang?"
Saber and Irisviel also looked at Wang Xiaoming curiously. Didn't he say he was going to do surgery? Not going together?
"Before I go back, I'll take care of another group of people."
Now that he has made the decision to directly break through the Holy Grail War overnight, then naturally he cannot let go of the Assassin hiding outside.
Wang Xiaoming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they turned into golden vertical pupils. The dragon eyes strengthened by spell power can clearly see any gathering of magic power in the dark night.
The golden vertical pupils put a great pressure on the people who saw them. This is the oppression of the dragon on humans, that is, Saber is better, because she herself has the blood of the red dragon, so the resistance to the dragon is much better.
