Chapter 732: Chapter 8: Sudden Upheaval!
Gu Mo was extremely cautious.
He originally didn’t want to really kill Emiya Shirou, and naturally didn’t want to rashly put pressure on him, prompting him to summon Saber.
Even though it wouldn’t make any waves, to avoid trouble, he decided to snatch away the Sword Scabbard before this possibility could be realized... At this point, his goal was actually achieved. He glanced subconsciously at the furious Ilya glaring at him, wondering if he should tell her the harsh reality.
About the Command Spell being ineffective against him...
Being a Berserker with A+ grade Anti-Magic Power was quite reasonable...
After all, since the Knight King possessed A-grade Anti-Magic Power and had a chance to resist a Command Spell with their will, it was only natural for him, being stronger, to be the same... He would use this explanation if Ilya didn’t give up and found out that neither two, three, or even more Command Spells worked.
Then he would add to the setting that his Anti-Magic Power was actually EX grade.
"Berserker, why aren’t you acting!" Ilya was unaware that her Servant was thinking about how to bully her, but she felt something was amiss and shouted angrily. She had just issued a command with the Command Spell, and as her Servant, was he really not giving her any face?
"No, mainly because, you see, this is a Magic Workshop and it’s the territory of the mage opposite us. I don’t think it’s suitable for a hard fight..." Gu Mo replied earnestly.
"You... you’re talking nonsense... you’re clearly not afraid of these things!"
The silver-haired loli was infuriated, her whole body trembling. This man had just destroyed her family at the Einzbern house yesterday, and today he had successively breached the domains of both the Fuyuki Church and the Makoto Family, completely disregarding the Church and the ancient magical families’ foundations.
Now he stood in front of this ordinary residence, facing a low-tier Magic Workshop converted from a warehouse, earnestly telling her that it wasn’t suitable for a hard fight?
She completely confirmed it; this was indeed defying the orders she had issued, so the silence just now was using the time and distance to resist and dissolve the Command Spell’s force?
After all, a Command Spell only represents the authority to exercise an absolute order once, which means it’s one-time. If the execution deadline is too long or the scope is too broad, the Effect will diminish... This person’s Power as a Servant is so amazing, and everything contains peculiarity, Ilya originally worried about the strength of a single Command Spell possibly not being enough.
In the end, the opponent said nothing at the time, directly choosing to execute the order, which was unbelievably smooth. So, that was the plan?
"Don’t be so anxious, Master. Have you ever considered that perhaps this is all a misunderstanding?"
Gu Mo calmly grabbed Ilya’s small, raised hand in a fit of anger, and with his other hand, seamlessly performed the ultimate head pat technique, his tone steady, while slightly applying some soothing force.
But Ilya was still fuming, equipped with sufficiently strong Magic Power, coupled with her status as the Lesser Grail, allowing her to receive a significant boost when standing on the lands of Fuyuki City, effectively countering this not-so-strong mental interference force.
"Misunderstanding, what kind of misunderstanding could there be!" the silver-haired loli shouted at the top of her lungs, not listening at all, "By the name of the Command Spell, Berserker, now—mmm mmm mmm..."
Gu Mo covered her mouth, shaking his head with a bit of a headache, and strengthened his Spiritual Power by a fraction in his tone: "I already hinted that I knew what happened ten years ago when I was at the Makoto Family’s place. Why didn’t you seize the moment to ask, like what the deal is with the black mud in the Holy Grail, don’t you want to know?"
——I don’t want to know.
The silver-haired loli fiercely and fearlessly glared at him with her eyes, struggling desperately, while also trying to bite his hand hard with her little white teeth.
Resistance and anger were expressed with crystal clarity, as she struggled with all her might to resist and fight for herself, to give a voice to a life filled with selfless hatred.
"Be careful not to break your teeth, nuclear bombs can’t harm me..."
Gu Mo sighed, unconcerned. After all, when the opposite is weak enough, all acts of anger seem rather cute; this moment was no different, like a puffed-up little kitten; no matter how much it bared its teeth and claws, it was adorably fierce.
He continued speaking to himself: "Think about it, the Einzbern Family never told you that your father, Emiya Kiritsugu, had died long ago. You only found out after you arrived here. Admittedly, you might not care, but isn’t it possible that the Einzbern Family selectively hid other things from you as well?"
"They put so much effort into turning your longing for your father into hatred, coaxing you into getting more actively involved in this nasty mire called the Holy Grail War due to revenge. Isn’t it possible they put more effort into making this happen, and do you think your father didn’t have ways to counter this situation?"
The silver-haired loli continued struggling with mmm sounds, but her force slightly weakened, seemingly taking in a bit of his words.
"Your father sabotaged the Holy Grail, so the family classified him as a traitor. Do you think, under those circumstances, he abandoned you, or perhaps he simply couldn’t come back to find you? If the Einzbern Family’s Barrier wasn’t open to him, what options did he really have?"
