Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 118: Gilgamesh

Li Xiang lay in bed, nothing out of the ordinary happening.

He considered himself to have a good understanding of Astati.

Although she didn't often tease him, in reality, she had the heart of a thief but lacked the courage.

She probably just enjoyed seeing him in a difficult situation.

Sometimes, Li Xiang wished she would just make a move already, so as to avoid this torment.

But upon careful consideration, he felt a bit embarrassed.

He sighed and fell into a deep sleep.

It must be said that the power of habit is quite strong.

He couldn't sleep last night, but today he was already indifferent.

Perhaps he himself quite liked the current situation.

Morning.

Li Xiang woke up.

He felt his right arm completely numb.

He turned his head and found that Astati was using his right arm as a pillow.

No wonder.

It's abnormal for an arm to not be numb after sleeping a whole night.

Does the original goddess not have any sleeping habits?

Li Xiang looked at her messy hair and couldn't help but shake his head.

But she was indeed beautiful and willful.

Even so, there was an unintentional innocence and cuteness about her.

"Good morning, Master."

Astati blinked her left eye at him and then showed a happy smile.

"Um... can you get up for a moment?"

Li Xiang moved his arm.

"Oh."

Astati sat up.

Li Xiang was able to retrieve his arm and then put on his coat to go to the bathroom to freshen up.

After finishing, he found Astati sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Master, can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"This."

Astati picked up the stockings next to her and said, "Help me put them on."

"..."

Li Xiang was silent for two seconds and said, "You're not a child."

"Oh, does Master like lolis?"

Astati tilted her head and asked.

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

Li Xiang gave her a disdainful look.

"Then help me."

Astati lifted her smooth and fair jade foot.

Li Xiang instinctively glanced at it, the faint veins under the taut instep were vaguely visible, and the toes looked round and delicate.

He half-squatted in front of her and took the black stockings.

The feel of it was quite good, it should be quite high-end.

He didn't have much knowledge about stockings, he just wanted to finish quickly.

"It's a bit itchy."

Astati's white cheeks turned slightly red, and her legs involuntarily straightened.

Fortunately, Li Xiang was quick, and he had already finished putting them on for her.

It's just that his technique was a bit mediocre.

The stockings had some wrinkles in several places, making them not smooth enough.

After adjusting a few times, Astati said, "Thank you, Master."

"No problem."

Li Xiang turned around and said, "I'll call someone to bring breakfast."

And then he fled.

"Hey, aren't you wearing shoes yet?"

Astati couldn't help but laugh.

A few minutes later, Li Xiang came back with a tray.

Japanese-style breakfast.

Chicken breast, salad, teriyaki salmon, miso soup, and blanched spinach.

It's quite rich, and the taste is not bad.

At least there's no natto.

Li Xiang went to class as usual.

It was a peaceful day.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiang received a transmission from Astati.

Because he was in class.

Astati couldn't openly show up in the classroom either.

Her familiar, the gemstone bird, saw Yan Fengqili.

And Scáthach wasn't there either.

There was no doubt that Yan Fengqili had figured out that none of them were present and chose the best time to come knocking.

Li Xiang immediately raised his hand and said that he suddenly had a stomachache and wanted to go to the bathroom.

After getting permission, he left the classroom.

In the empty corridor, Astati appeared and grabbed his shoulder.

"Marina."

The next moment, they arrived at the Phantom Ocean Manor.

Li Xiang was slightly startled, remembering Astati's previous magic carpet called Anna.

Now it seems to be her Ark, Marina.

The two quickly concealed their presence and arrived at Bazett's room.

There was a conversation inside.

"Should we just kill him?"

Astati casually set up a barrier, then whispered in his ear.

"Kill him."

Li Xiang had no mercy in his thoughts, "But we have to wait until he's about to make a move, otherwise Bazett might not believe us."

Astati nodded to indicate understanding.

She raised her hand and a pale white gemstone disappeared.

The atmosphere in the room was quite good.

Under Yan Fengqili's large robe, his right hand was already gripping the black keys.

Not a black keyboard, but the magic attire unique to the Church, resembling a short sword.

It was used as a throwing weapon, with exorcism runes engraved inside, specifically used to deal with so-called "demons".

It had average physical attack power, but it effortlessly cut through the flesh of ordinary humans.

"Bazett, I have something I want you to help with."

Yan Fengqili smiled faintly.

"What is it?"

Bazett was somewhat surprised and also somewhat expectant.

She had received help from Yan Fengqili multiple times, but this was the first time he had truly asked her for something.

As a friend, she naturally wanted to help.

Yan Fengqili looked at her and slowly raised his right hand.

"Huh?"

Bazett was somewhat puzzled, and even showed a rare hint of shyness.

She had a slight fondness for the resolute Yan Fengqili.

The next moment, the blade flashed.

Bazett couldn't react in time and her left shoulder was cut.

But it was just a small wound.

Yan Fengqili's expression froze, unable to continue the attack.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut off Bazett's left arm with the Command Seals.

He didn't hesitate and rolled on the spot.

A red light fell through the door and exploded into a not-so-small pit where he had just stood.

Because Bazett was nearby, Astati controlled the power.

A storm howled.

Li Xiang chased after Yan Fengqili, who was jumping out of the window, and in mid-air, he drew his Han sword and swung it down.

The mighty force cut through the air.

Yan Fengqili's scalp tingled.

Damn it!

Is this really a beginner magician?

He had investigated the situation before attacking Bazett.

Li Xiang was not to be feared, but Astati was dangerous.

So he dared to make a move only after confirming that they were all out.

He didn't expect them to come back so soon.

A thought flashed through Yan Fengqili's mind, and he suddenly swung his right hand, sending out three black keys.

The Han sword was enveloped in a silver light and easily cut through the black keys.

Not only that, a dazzling red light appeared above Li Xiang's head, enveloping Yan Fengqili.

An unimaginable sense of crisis surged up.

We're going to die!

Yan Fengqili's face twisted as he shouted, "Archer!"

The command spell on his wrist disappeared instantly.

A gray shield suddenly unfolded.

Li Xiang's Han sword fell on it, but it was completely unharmed.

Then came Astati's gem attack.

A powerful shockwave suddenly spread out.

The red light burst like fireworks.

Various magical powers intertwined in chaos.

Even in mid-air, the grass on the ground was in a mess.

The glass on the outer side of the Phantom Mansion shattered.

Li Xiang quickly retreated and landed on the ground.

Yan Fengqili, on the other hand, was taken several meters away by a black figure.

"Gilgamesh."

Astati didn't attack anymore, she immediately identified the intruder's identity.

"This Ishtar from this universe has some conflicts with him, which might make him take it seriously."

Li Xiang nodded in response.

The relationship between Astati and Ishtar is like another version of myself in the world.

It's hard to distinguish Gilgamesh from Gilgamesh if he doesn't use his omniscience and omnipotence.

And he won't use clairvoyance or omniscience for the sake of fun.

As the magical impact dissipated, Li Xiang saw Gilgamesh, dressed in a black motorcycle suit, with golden hair and red eyes.

He seemed a little excited at the moment.

His smile faintly revealed a twisted feeling.

"Interesting! It's really interesting!"

Gilgamesh pressed his bangs with one hand and said, "What reason made you lower yourself to become a Servant, Ishtar?"

"It's none of your business."

Astati pursed her lips and said.

"It seems you're just an Archer, which is an insult to this king."

Although Gilgamesh was speaking to Astati, his gaze was shamelessly sizing up Li Xiang.

"I should have settled it directly with you, but if I don't know the reason behind it, I might lose too much fun, especially since you responded to the summoning of a mere amateur."

Astati stood in front of Li Xiang and said coldly, "You can try now."

"Good things are always left for last."

Gilgamesh showed a pleased and intoxicated expression, "The fun at that time will far exceed the past."

After he left with Yan Fengqili, Astati turned around and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Li Xiang had long known Gilgamesh's personality. Compared to the wise king in his old age, he was indeed contemptible.

But his arrogant personality undoubtedly brought trouble upon himself.

Without Astati's appearance, he would have been killed in the original story.

If he had taken it seriously, he could have won, but oh well, he just wanted to play.

However, Gilgamesh's actions were in line with Li Xiang's thoughts.

There was no need to fight now, as it would only benefit the other Masters.

Although Astati was strong, she would have to pay a price when facing the Separation Sword.

"Let's go see Bazett."

Li Xiang turned and returned to the room.

Bazett had a look of despair on her face, seemingly unable to believe Yan Fengqili's betrayal.

"Although Yan Fengqili is a supervisor, he is actually a participant."

Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "He killed you to take your Servant and ultimately win the Holy Grail War."

Upon hearing this, Bazett regained her senses and asked, "Is the Holy Grail War really that important?"

"At least for him, it is."

Li Xiang sighed and said, "He recommended you to participate in the Holy Grail War, which undoubtedly means he had planned everything. You don't need to be sad for someone like him, but rather, you should give him a taste of his own medicine."

After a few seconds of silence, Bazett said, "You can leave now."

Li Xiang nodded.

He wasn't worried about Bazett because she wasn't the kind of idol drama female lead who would cry and be emotional. She was more like a heroine who sought revenge.

The matter was over.

Li Xiang went back to class.

When he saw Bazett again in the evening, she appeared quite calm.

The damaged items in the Phantom Mansion had been restored to their original state.

Although Yan Fengqili suffered a great loss, he still had to fulfill the duties of a supervisor.

Otherwise, it would cause dissatisfaction from the Holy Church and the Magic Association.

"Thank you for your help during the day."

Bazette said with a hint of gratitude.

"If you encounter danger next time, you can summon me with a command spell."

Scathach obviously knew about the battle that happened in the afternoon.

Speaking of which, Li Xiang remembered that in the FGO game, she was the natural enemy of Gilgamesh due to her Anti-Divine and Anti-Divinity traits.

But games are games, and it's hard to say in a real fight.

If she teamed up with Astolfo, there shouldn't be any problems.

Next time she sees Gilgamesh, she can give him a surprise.

Don't you want to have fun?

I hope you can handle this surprise.

"Let's forget about what happened during the day and start tonight's mission."

Li Xiang's gaze fell on Scathach.

Although she is a Lancer, it doesn't mean she can't use the original runes.

It's just that the power may not be as strong as a Caster.

After all, her current Spirit Origin leans more towards endurance and agility, rather than magic.

If it were Scathach-Skadi, who is a Caster, her magic power should be at the EX level.

Scathach raised her hand.

A flickering mud-yellow symbol appeared on her palm.

As she uttered an incomprehensible syllable, the symbol suddenly rose into the air and disappeared into the night.

Li Xiang guessed that she was speaking the original Gaeilge language.

Because Scathach is not a Heroic Spirit, but a mythical figure who has lived until now.

Not in the Throne of Heroes, but in the Land of Shadows.

Having lived for too long, she avoids others asking about her age.

Not to mention being called an old lady.

She likes to be forever eighteen.

After a moment, Scathach spoke, "In the commercial street of the New Capital."

"Mana."

Astolfo raised his hand.

Li Xiang finally saw the true form that she didn't see during the day.

A huge celestial boat resembling a bow.

It can not only fly and change shape at will, but also open a stargate connecting Earth and Venus.

In the game, it is also her symbolic weapon as an Archer and the mount of a Rider.

So, you archers don't need bows to fight, right?

The four of them arrived at the commercial street in the blink of an eye.

Because it was late at night, although there were still lights, there were no people.

Especially with the recent frequent occurrence of murder cases, people dared not stay outside.

"The rune shows that it is in this area, but it may not have happened yet."

Scathach said.

Li Xiang thought that she seemed to have clairvoyance, and with the original runes, achieving the effect of prophecy was effortless.

"Let's split up."

Astolfo glanced at her and said, "You and Bazette check the east side."

There was an indescribable vigilance in his words.

Scathach naturally knew, but she didn't mind.

Although she snatched the position of the apprentice's summoning due to sensing Li Xiang's aura, she felt that being involved in this Holy Grail War was not bad.

As long as she keeps fighting, she will definitely fulfill her wish for death.

After all, there can only be one winner in the Holy Grail War.

Eventually, she will fight against Astolfo.

Li Xiang walked towards the west side of the street.

Astolfo materialized and concealed himself in the surroundings to avoid startling the Servant who was causing the murders.

As for Li Xiang, as long as she hides her aura, her magical energy inside her body will generally not be noticed and she will be seen as an ordinary person.

If she is directly targeted, that would be even better.

Li Xiang also analyzed the targets of this magician and Servant, all of them were young men.

The only dead woman was affected by her boyfriend.

After a few minutes, Li Xiang's keen hearing noticed rustling sounds.

Like a swarm of insects.

She stopped and saw a black tide surging on the street.

4,000 characters.
