Tohsaka Rin stood on the vimana, looking down at the people below, and then waved at Gilgamesh.
"Gil, please!"
"Tch! To think I have to let that damned deity touch my treasure—Tohsaka Rin, this is only for this one time! Mongrels below, feel honored for this!"
After speaking, a golden ripple appeared behind Gilgamesh, and a small hand axe shot out from the ripple. Berserker blankly caught the small hand axe that shot toward him, then held up this small hand axe that was not even the size of his palm, and let out a roar toward the vimana in the sky, as if saying, 'Are you kidding me?'
"Gil, what are you doing?"
"Don't be anxious, it will change!"
As Gilgamesh's voice fell, the axe in Berserker's hand instantly became huge, becoming very suitable for Berserker to use. However, as the axe became larger, the image of a huge cherry tree appeared behind Berserker.
Tohsaka Rin was stunned as she looked at the huge phantom of the cherry tree, and immediately, she remembered something and couldn't help but shout.
"Falling Cherry Divine Axe!"
Berserker didn't care about these things; he seemed very satisfied with the axe that suddenly appeared in his hand and let out an excited roar. Then, with a stride, he rushed to the vicinity of Jalter and slashed down, axe after axe.
On the other side, Tohsaka Rin and Gilgamesh also nimbly leaped down from the vimana and landed beside Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Kiritsugu Emiya, are you not retreating yet? Do you have any other trump cards?"
Kiritsugu Emiya first glanced at Assassin, who was being aimed at by dozens of Noble Phantasms from Gilgamesh, then turned his head to look at Tohsaka Rin and slowly stated.
"It's meaningless. Since you have already come, then I should have no chance of escaping."
Upon hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's words, Tohsaka Rin frowned. 'That's not right. How could this guy Kiritsugu Emiya know how to give up? They must still have a trump card!'
Suddenly, Gilgamesh picked up Rin and leaped onto the castle tower, avoiding the sudden surge of black mud.
"Rin Tohsaka, hahahahaha! Rin Tohsaka, it really is you. I'm going to kill you! I must kill you!"
Standing on the tower, Rin looked down at the suddenly appearing Angra Mainyu. She then bolstered her eyes with magical energy and glanced at Zouken Matou below. As expected, she found command spells on both of Zouken Matou's hands; it seemed Angra Mainyu had signed a contract with him as a Servant.
"Hehehehe, Rin Tohsaka! How do you plan to choose in this situation?"
Rin grinned as she looked at the gloating Zouken Matou below, then turned to Gilgamesh.
"Gil, I'll leave it to you to pin them down. Angra Mainyu is mine!"
With that, Rin leaped from the tower. Her eyes instantly turned gold, and a terrifying magical energy surged with her breath. In a flash, Rin entered Starlight Mode, firing countless beams of light at Angra Mainyu.
Jalter used her War Banner to block a swing from Berserker's axe, then twisted her waist and kicked Berserker away. With a few agile leaps, she landed beside Zouken Matou.
Jalter watched Angra Mainyu, who was screaming under the bombardment of Rin's magic, and spoke to Zouken Matou.
"Let's retreat! Let this disgusting guy cover our rear!"
"Hehehe, since the Saintess does not wish to fight, then we shall retreat, Kiritsugu!"
Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. A stroke of the command spells on the back of his hand vanished, and after strengthening Assassin, he threw a smoke bomb without hesitation, disappearing into the smoke along with Zouken Matou.
Jalter, seeing the pursuing Berserker, did not linger. She unleashed her Noble Phantasm without hesitation, creating a wall of fire to block Berserker. She then nodded to Assassin and vanished into the woods with a few leaps.
Seeing that his Master and Jalter had fully retreated, Assassin threw a barrage of daggers at Gilgamesh, then brandished his knives and charged toward him.
"Mongrel!"
Seeing that Assassin still dared to resist, Gilgamesh unleashed the Gate of Babylon without hesitation, and a golden downpour reappeared in Fuyuki City.
"Scapegoat!"
Facing the downpour of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms, Assassin activated his innate ability without hesitation. 'Scapegoat' swapped his position with Angra Mainyu, leaving Angra Mainyu to face the golden rain while he took the brunt of Rin's magic.
Assassin then endured Rin's magic and quickly retreated into the forest, disappearing from sight.
With all his allies gone, black mud continued to pour from Angra Mainyu, swallowing the Noble Phantasms embedded in his body as he stubbornly launched an attack at Rin.
"Rin Tohsaka, I will definitely kill you!"
"Tch! They all got away, leaving us with this troublesome piece of rotten meat!"
As she spoke, the light wings behind Rin flapped, and she rapidly ascended to avoid the surging waves of mud. At the same time, she pulled out a shorthand codex filled with Runic Script and poured her magical energy into it without hesitation.
"I've been wanting to do this! Great God Crest!"
At the cost of an entire shorthand codex filled with Runic Script and a massive amount of magical energy, Rin instantly activated a spell comparable to a C-rank Noble Phantasm release.
Countless Runic characters were imbued with various attributes by the shorthand codex and combined into a giant crest. It reached Angra Mainyu in the blink of an eye, followed by a massive explosion.
Blown into a puddle of black mud, Angra Mainyu stubbornly reformed his body and emerged from the muck once more.
However, the moment he appeared, Angra Mainyu was cleaved in half by Berserker's axe, followed by another wave of Rin's magic and a beam of light fired from a Noble Phantasm by Gilgamesh.
Illya stood to the side, watching them take turns ravaging Angra Mainyu. Shivering, she prepared to slip away.
After brutally pummeling Angra Mainyu for a while, Rin turned around just in time to see Illya carrying luggage and trying to sneak toward the castle's back door with two maids.
Rin smiled slightly. Her light wings flapped, and she instantly appeared in front of Illya, blocking her path.
Sella and Leysritt saw Rin descending from the sky. They drew their giant Halberds and shielded Illya behind them, shouting.
"Run, Miss!"
The two sisters then swung their Halberds down at Rin without hesitation. Rin calmly applied Reinforcement Magic while two defensive magic circles appeared on her arms, easily blocking their attacks. With a backhand swipe, she snatched the two Halberds away and tossed them aside.
"Wait, I'm not here for Illya's lesser grail. I'm here to find a partner. Illya, are you willing?"
Looking at Rin, who was standing before her with knuckles cracking, Illya nodded without a moment's hesitation.
"Very well then, Illya. We are allies now. How about lending me your castle for a while?"
