Tokiomi quickly pushed him off, stood up, and straightened his suit.
But his suit was already covered in the Crest Worms’ mucus.
Worse, Crest Worms had also invaded Tokiomi’s body.
He would be controlled by Zouken!
“To be bitten by a mongrel like that, truly pathetic, Tokiomi.” A mocking female voice came from outside.
A golden figure coalesced, golden armor wrapping around her well-proportioned figure, pure golden hair, blood-red eyes, and an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
Without a doubt, she was the Servant Tokiomi had summoned.
The oldest King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.
At this moment, she stood on a lamppost, looking down at everyone, mercilessly mocking her own Master: “Though it did let this king see a fine show… a battle between an arrogant clown and a mongrel with nothing.” Being publicly mocked by his own Servant and compared to a clown, Tokiomi’s face alternated between pale and red.
But he endured it in the end, instead bowing to Gilgamesh with the respect of a subject: “My king, your subject has been parasitized.
This also damages your reputation.
Would you be willing to lend your aid and eliminate the vermin that has violated your subject…” “Oh?” The golden queen smiled.
Behind her, golden ripples appeared, and a sword emerged from them.
“Of course, no problem.
With one strike of my sword, the bugs inside you will certainly be wiped clean.” Tokiomi’s face turned green.
With one strike of that sword, not only would the Crest Worms die, but he would too!
‘Damn it, I shouldn’t have summoned this disaster!’ “Hahahaha, this is the first time I’ve seen such a master-servant relationship.
Tohsaka Tokiomi, you truly are just a mediocre talent, to be so disdained by your own familiar.” Zouken laughed maniacally.
“Mr.
Animusphere, are you really going to cooperate with such a mediocre man?
How about cooperating with me instead?” “What are you talking about, Mr.
Bug?” Nathan controlled the firestorm, surrounding Zouken’s body.
“The Matou Family has already been eliminated.” Before Tokiomi killed Zouken, Scathach had already slain Berserker.
“That doesn’t matter.” Zouken said.
“Once I take over Tohsaka Tokiomi’s body, I’ll have a new spot.
And then, that powerful familiar will be under my control.
I am not a good-for-nothing like Tohsaka Tokiomi.” “How dare you disrespect this king!” Female Gilgamesh, her crimson eyes filled with killing intent.
Zouken’s repeated use of ‘familiar’ had enraged her.
“Die, old bug!
The crime of offending the king’s majesty shall be repaid in blood!” A sword shot out from the Gate of Babylon, directly destroying Zouken’s body, blasting it to pieces.
Nathan drifted away on the wind, looking at the delicate-featured Female Gilgamesh, but with killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Clearly, Female Gilgamesh didn’t care at all that the backlash could have harmed him.
Female Gilgamesh noticed Nathan’s gaze, raised an eyebrow: “What’s this?
Do you have a problem with this king’s actions?” Nathan now really wanted to get his hands on the Matou Family’s Crest Worm techniques and throw Female Gilgamesh into the worm pit, to let her experience the hell that Sakura should have originally seen.
But unfortunately, with Female Gilgamesh’s strength, that was simply impossible.
Unless— He looked at Tokiomi.
Tokiomi’s heart jumped.
His Servant had nearly hurt Nathan, so he wondered if Nathan wanted to kill him to vent his anger.
But soon, Nathan’s gaze shifted back to Female Gilgamesh: “You killed my prey and nearly hurt me.
Are you ready to pay the price for everything you’ve done?” “Oh?” Female Gilgamesh smiled.
“You want to fight me?
Admirable courage, but no one is a match for this king, not even your Servant!” Nathan’s actions actually earned a bit of Female Gilgamesh’s appreciation.
But that didn’t stop her from planning to kill all who had offended the king’s majesty.
“Is that so?” Nathan smiled disdainfully.
Even a mere mortal like Emiya Shirou had managed to cut off Gilgamesh’s arm, proving just how weak the Gilgamesh summoned as an Archer was in close combat.
“Master.” Nathan said.
“Show her your strength.” “With pleasure.” Scathach had been eager for a while and even joked: “I thought you’d be taken by her beauty and reluctant to fight.” “I’m not that kind of person, and I have no interest in being a simp.
Even if I did like her, I’d rather take her as my prey.” Nathan shrugged, beginning to explain Female Gilgamesh’s origin and power.
“She is the first Hero King of Uruk, the one who ended the Age of Gods, Gilgamesh.
Since she used the Gate of Babylon, she must have been summoned as an Archer.” “The Gate of Babylon contains the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms in the world.
You’ll need to be careful.
Also, Ea, the sword that can split open the world… Master, you need to be especially cautious of that.” “Overwhelm her in close combat, so she doesn’t have the leisure to use Ea!” “Knowing this king’s name, you do have some insight.” Having her identity exposed didn’t anger Female Gilgamesh.
To her, only rats hiding in the shadows would bother to conceal their identities.
“But this king is invincible.
Let the death of your Servant serve as a testament to this king’s majesty.” The seven rings that cover the fiery heavens unfolded!
Her treasury held many treasures.
She had also seen Scathach brutally beating Berserker and had almost certainly concluded that Scathach was a Lancer.
And having fought against gods, Female Gilgamesh was certain that Scathach was wrapped in the curses of gods… a God-Slayer.
Facing a God-Slayer, even Female Gilgamesh wouldn’t be careless.
She had already prepared defensive Noble Phantasms.
Then, golden ripples spread, and countless weapons emerged from them… swords, spears, halberds, everything.
In an instant, countless weapons roared forth, a golden torrent flooding over Scathach.
Nathan wasn’t worried about Scathach.
At least for now, she was safe.
He turned his gaze to Tokiomi.
Cold sweat once again seeped from Tokiomi’s back.
The best way to defeat Gilgamesh was to eliminate him, her Master.
“Relax.
I don’t plan on killing you for now.” Nathan said.
“I don’t intend to kill my disciple’s father.
On the contrary, I can help you eliminate the Crest Worms parasitizing you, so you won’t be taken over by Matou Zouken.” “Of course, all of this comes at a price.” Nathan indicated the Command Spells on the back of Tokiomi’s hand.
Tokiomi’s expression drastically changed.
Nathan continued: “I won’t say much else.
Just think about what would happen if Matou Zouken possessed you.
He’d use your family’s Magic Crest, spend your money, sleep with your wife, and beat your daughters.” “Wait, he might even sleep with your daughters later, and then possess your daughters’ children.” Nathan’s words were like the sharpest thorns, piercing Tokiomi’s heart.
As a Magus, what he cared about most was the magical inheritance.
Without a doubt, if Zouken really seized his place, the Tohsaka Family’s legacy would be destroyed.
Zouken’s voice screamed: “Tohsaka Tokiomi, I’m inside your heart!
He’s lying to you!
If your heart is destroyed, you’ll die!” Tokiomi said: “If Mr.
Animusphere wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t need such a scheme.
He could do it right now.” He looked at Nathan: “I have only one request.
If I unfortunately die during the procedure, please act as Rin’s guardian and pass my Magic Crest on to her.” As a Magic Crest that contained the life’s work of a Magus Family, it would be a great attraction for any Magus.
But Nathan was the heir to a future Lord.
Tokiomi was willing to trust his integrity.
After all, to the entire Clock Tower, the Tohsaka Family’s Magic Crest wasn’t much of a treasure.
“Although I’d like to say there won’t be any complications.” Nathan nodded.
“But if I don’t agree, you won’t be at ease, will you?
So, I’ll agree.”
