Ti passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the third day of the Holy Grail War.
On the first night, Artoria and Diarmuid clashed, attracting the attention of all Heroic Spirits except Caster.
Then, due to Rin's intervention, the mont Ryunosuke summoned Gilles de Rais, he was imdiately taken away by the Shadow Squad led by Souei.
However, without Gilles, the original plot had completely lost its referential value.
Starting from the second night, the Heroic Spirits began their respective actions.
The most intense clash was between Kayneth and Kiritsugu, the two were like fire and water, and Saber and Lancer also fought many tis.
Perhaps Saber's disadvantage was too severe, so Kiritsugu had no choice but to return Avalon.
Saber, who recovered in an unknown way, successfully repelled Lancer.
Kayneth was attacked by an Origin Bullet and was severely wounded.
However, even if he saved his life, Kayneth was completely paralyzed due to the collapse of his magic circuits caused by the Origin Bullet.
"That Heroic Spirit with two lances is truly unqualified," Snow Empress comnted.
"He actually got carried away fighting Saber and forgot about the Master he needed to protect."
"Most importantly, he also seduced his Lord's fiancée."
Kayneth was arguably the most miserable Master in this Holy Grail War.
He was crippled, and his wife was stolen by his own Servant.
Although Diarmuid had no such intentions, the curse on him was destined to have a great attraction to married won.
One could only say that Kayneth was too careless to summon Diarmuid. He truly wasn't afraid of being cuckolded.
"Anything else?"
Seated in the main hall, Rin listened to Souei's report: "Have our movents not been discovered by other Heroic Spirits?"
"The Rider team is investigating us."
"Oh?"
Rin was a little surprised. Souei saying this ant that Waver and the Iskandar had already found so clues.
Iskandar was boisterous and didn't seem like soone who would use such thods.
"So, it's Waver, then?"
It must be said that Waver indeed possessed extraordinary talent.
Through so ans, Waver discovered the simultaneous appearance of multiple Heroic Spirits.
Not only Rin's Shadow Squad, but also the Assassin who should have died.
"My apologies, Master."
Souei lowered his head. "I should have been more careful."
"It's fine."
Rin shook his head. "Being found at Ryuudou Temple is only a matter of ti."
After three days of accumulation, Rin's magical energy had almost reached the required amount.
24x3x150, at least 10,800 units of magical energy.
Following Snow Empress, Ogerpon, Ice Empress, Shion, Shuna, Souei, and others, Rin successfully summoned all the Ogres.
And after tonight, even Hoshiga and the Eighteen Wolf Guards would descend upon this world.
As for the remaining wolf tribe and Goblins, that was just to give them so sense of participation and did not affect the outco of the Holy Grail War.
"Continue to wait."
"As long as they don't co knocking on our door, there's no need to interfere in their struggles."
Rin remained calm, with no intention of showing his prowess.
Just like today, Rin took Shuna and the others to stroll around Fuyuki City, without any sense of warti tension.
As for being exposed…
With the Shadow Squad secretly monitoring the entire situation, there was no need to worry at all.
And that night, Souei brought Rin a new piece of information.
"Tokiomi is dead?"
"So fast?"
Rin was indeed a little surprised.
If he rembered correctly, Kirei killing Tokiomi should have happened after Assassin's departure.
"How did he die?"
"He was backstabbed by his disciple, Kotomine Kirei."
"Still the sa, huh?"
Rin thought to himself, "It seems Gilgash was completely fed up with Tokiomi, which is why he acted early?"
Kirei acted early.
This ant that he not only possessed Assassin but also had Gilgash as his Heroic Spirit.
"Can he bear the burden of two Heroic Spirits at once?"
Snow Empress frowned slightly. "Or is he planning to abandon the original Assassin?"
"There's no need for that."
Rin said, "Gilgash can act independently, and as long as he doesn't fight, he won't consu much magical energy at all."
"Tokiomi, isn't that Sakura's father?"
Ogerpon, who had been listening to their conversation, noticed this blind spot. "Should we tell Sakura?"
…
For a mont, the hall fell silent.
"Shuna, bring Sakura over."
"Rin-sama?"
"It's alright, I trust Sakura."
Rin did not intend to hide this matter from Sakura.
If it were anyone else, Rin might have concocted so kind of well-intentioned lie.
But for Sakura, there was no need.
She was not as fragile as she appeared on the surface.
Her resilience was unquestionable, as she was able to endure the corruption of the Crest Worms until adulthood.
She still had feelings for the Tohsaka family.
"Brother Rin?"
Soon, Sakura appeared before everyone.
The girl saw Rin, imdiately scurried over, and just like that, in front of everyone, she threw herself into Rin's arms.
"Sakura."
Rin stroked the girl's hair. He hesitated for a mont, but ultimately told her the bad news.
"Father…"
Upon hearing the news of Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, Sakura was montarily unable to react.
"How could this be?"
Sakura's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't believe that her dignified, imposing father had just died like that.
Although in Sakura's heart, there was still resentnt towards the father who had given her away.
But Sakura here was ultimately not the original Sakura Matou whose heart had been devoured by worms.
She still had feelings for the Tohsaka family.
"What about my sister and mother? How are they?!"
After the shock and sadness ca worry for Rin and Aoi.
Sakura had learned a lot about the dangers of the Holy Grail War from Rin and Shuna these past few days.
If her father chose to participate in the Holy Grail War, he had to be ntally prepared for death.
Sakura would resent her father's killer, but she wouldn't be unreasonable and ask Rin to avenge Tokiomi.
The girl had never forgotten who saved her and brought her out of suffering.
"Don't worry, Sakura, they will be fine."
Rin comforted Sakura and assured her that her mother and sister would not be hard by the Holy Grail War.
"En, I trust you."
Tears still stained Sakura's face. Rin continued, "Also, regarding Kotomine Kirei, who killed your father, I will make him withdraw from this Holy Grail War."
(To be continued.)
