Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 299: Isn't he too strong?

"Berserker and his Master have been eliminated."

"Is that so?"

Gilgamesh didn't show much interest as he swirled his wine glass, watching the red blood wine move in a spiral. Similar to his expression, inside his heart, he didn't care whether Berserker and his Master were dying or not.

In the end, everyone would die.

If there was a difference, then it would be when they were going to die.

If Berserker and his Master died, then that's it.

Moreover, Gilgamesh also didn't like that mad dog who put such dirty eyes into his visage. For someone who dared to do such a thing, death was only his destination.

It was good that Berserker had died, so there was no need for him to endure the disgusting feeling in his heart.

However, Kirei sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought that it might be good to use Beserker's Master as a play."

"Play?" This caught Gilgamesh's interest.

Kirei nodded and then explained his plan of how he would invite Kariya into the church to meet Tohsaka, who had died, and then Aoi Tohsaka would come and misunderstand the fact that Kariya was the one who killed her husband.

By then, Kirei would be able to see the fun drama where he could control Kariya like a marionette.

Unfortunately, Kariya died.

"Oh, that's really a shame." Gilgamesh also sighed since it might be good to watch such a drama.

"Though, this Caster is quite troublesome." Kirei's expression became sharp when he mentioned Caster.

After all, unlike the other Masters, whose identity was known, the Master of Caster and Caster were unknown. Until now, no one knew who they were except for his fire-related ability.

Or was it that Caster wanted to believe that he was proficient in fire-related abilities?

No one knew, but his conduct was clear.

Whenever there was a chance, Caster would take down one Servant after another, one by one, before disappearing like smoke.

Even Kirei was wary due to this.

If there was something that he knew, then Caster's Master should be someone who was chosen by the Holy Grail randomly, so there would be a total of seven Masters.

Yet, due to this, there was no doubt this Master should be an amateur.

However, why did this guy seem to be more dangerous than Kiritsugu, who had bombed a large building and killed hundreds of people with ease?

Moreover, his Assassin was also killed by the Caster.

Lastly, there was no doubt Caster erased Assassin at ease, and there wasn't even a chance for Assassin to escape or relay a message to him.

While he might not say anything because of his personality, he was quite annoyed.

Kirei was, without a doubt wishing for the Holy Grail since he thought his wish could be granted through it, so he didn't want anyone to trouble him.

"There is no need to be wary of a rat who is hiding inside the gutter." Gilgamesh was at ease as ever. "If this rat wishes for the Holy Grail, then there is no doubt that this rat will come out sooner or later."

"That's right." Kirei nodded and also felt at ease.

On this Holy Grail, there was no doubt the King of Hero was the strongest Servant.

Caster?

While Caster might be mysterious, Kirei didn't think that Caster could defeat Gilgamesh.

If Caster dared to meet Gilgamesh, then Gilgamesh would kill him.

Nevertheless, Kirei really wondered whether there was a way for him to track down Caster and his Master since being on the passive definitely wasn't something that he loved. If he could, then the faster he could track that person down, the better it was.

"So, there is only this rat, and Rider leaves?" Gilgamesh asked.

"That's right. There are only the three of you."

When Kirei thought of this, he felt amazed since it had been a few days since the Holy Grail started, but four of the seven Masters and Servants had been eliminated, and the one who had eliminated them was Caster.

"......"

While Kirei believed in Gilgamesh, he couldn't help but feel worried when Caster suddenly appeared by their sides, then erased them.

If that's the case, then what should they do?

Gilgamesh was okay since he was a Servant, but he?

Kirei was just a normal human. Even if he had trained his physical body to the limit, there was no chance of him fighting against the Servant.

However, Gilgamesh had never thought too much and still arrogantly thought that everything would be okay, yet how could it not be? He had all the treasures in the world, including a weapon that could destroy the whole world.

Nevertheless, Gilgamesh felt a bit disappointed since he knew that Saber had gone.

Frankly, when Gilgamesh saw the visage of that king of a knight, he was tempted and felt that she was suitable to become his queen, especially that valor, yet an aura that was filled with tragedy.

Gilgamesh wanted to see how her expression was when Saber fell on his bed.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh was unable to see the expression and didn't know that Saber was already taken down by someone.

Nevertheless, due to his arrogant nature, there was no way for Gilgamesh to realize the danger that was about to come.

If Gilgamesh was careful enough, then he would use his Noble Phantasm to realize everything.

Yet, with his personality, such a thing was impossible.

So, it was due to this that the two of them didn't realize when someone suddenly appeared before them.

Tamazuki didn't waste his time and thought that it was time to end everything. After all, the longer he finished this, the more that the others might notice him. He was being sneaky for participating in this Holy Grail, but it didn't mean that he couldn't be noticed, so before Gilgamesh used his everything, he decided to strike first.

---

Suddenly, Gilgamesh, who was lazily drinking his wine, blinked his eyes as he saw a stranger appear before him. This stranger was like the god that had terrorized his country before, yet before he could even move, this stranger took out something and muttered in a low voice.

"Steal."

At that moment, Gilgamesh felt that he had lost everything.

Whether it was his treasures, birth, experience, skills, or talents, everything was stolen by this stranger.

"No... No..."

For the first time, Gilgamesh realized the feeling of terror, which was something that he had never felt, even if he faced various gods during his era.

Meanwhile, Tamazuki felt everything was great, and, as expected, the result of using "Steal" was nice. Frankly, using [Balaam] might be easier since he could see that Gilgamesh lacked a guard.

However, Tamazuki didn't want to bet since the moment Gilgamesh could use the treasures in his vault, then he would attract the attention of this planet.

The Holy Grail was just about in front of his eyes, so there was no way he would give up.

There was no hesitation.

His katana cut Gilgamesh's neck as he devoured him by using [Balaam].

Gilgamesh had ended, then

Tamazuki looked at Kire and asked, "Any last words?"

"........"

Kirei let out a long sigh, feeling helpless at Gilgamesh, but he knew no words had come out of his mouth since his neck was already cut by Tamazuki, and his head slid down, falling into the ground.
