"My name is Artoria Pendragon."
"Artoria? Nice name, but it's too long. I'll just call you Saber."
Saber nodded: "Master, you can call me whatever you like."
"My name is Lu Li, and I am your Master."
"I know."
"you know?"
"Yes, when I was summoned, I was given some necessary knowledge."
Lu Li smiled upon hearing this: "Yes, you only know part of it; there's another part you probably don't know."
What does "Master" mean?
“I am not from this world.”
Saber's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Not from this world?"
"Yes! I am not from this world. I have some special powers that allow me to cross worlds."
"It can actually travel between worlds... Do other worlds really exist?"
"I'll be going back tomorrow, and you'll find out then. I'm just giving you a heads-up so you can fully understand my situation."
"Do the Tohsaka family head and the others know?"
"For now, only Rin knows about this barrier. I created it because I didn't intend for them to know."
“Master, I see that Tokiomi Tohsaka also has Command Seals on the back of his hand.”
Lu Li nodded: "Yes, he is one of the three families that created the Holy Grail War. In every Holy Grail War, one of the three families will be selected."
He said he would help me fulfill my wish.
Is the head of the Tohsaka family trustworthy?
Although Saber had only met Tokiomi Tohsaka recently, she could sense that he was a very perfect and calculating man.
Faced with the Holy Grail, which can grant any wish, the other party actually promised to help others; she couldn't believe such a person existed in the world.
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's believable, and it's not believable, but it doesn't matter whether it's believable or not."
"What do you mean?"
"He has his own ulterior motives, but in the face of absolute power, no matter how perfect the calculation is, it is meaningless. I believe you should understand that now."
Saber did indeed have some experience with this; from the moment she was summoned, she sensed that her Master possessed unfathomable magical power.
This shocked her greatly, but since it concerned her Master, she did not reveal it in public.
Based on the information she gleaned from the Holy Grail, a Master should be unable to fight a Servant. However, she could clearly sense that if she were to face a Master, she would undoubtedly be the loser.
"Is it already so late? It's a dark and windy night, perfect for doing something."
"Master, what are your orders?"
Saber clearly understood from Lu Li's words what he wanted to do, and as a Servant, his primary task was to help his Master solve problems.
Lu Li waved his hand: "No need, it's just a small matter, no need to bother, it can be easily solved."
"'Thunder Godhood,' activate!"
Lu Li activated the 'Godhood of Thunder', and his body emitted a faint blue-white light, which might not be obvious during the day, but was very conspicuous at night.
Saber was immediately struck by Lu Li's posture. She felt a special majesty emanating from him, and if there was one word that came to mind first, it would be "god".
"Here comes the rain!"
Lu Li raised his hand and beckoned.
The sky quickly became overcast, and heavy rain began to fall.
Saber was astonished to see that Lu Li's mere wave of his hand caused the celestial phenomena to change.
How can this be? !
This completely exceeded Saber's understanding of magicians.
"It's raining?"
"It's raining so hard!"
"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today?!"
"Can we really trust weather forecasts?"...
Pedestrians on the streets of Fuyuki City scrambled for shelter from the rain.
Then Lu Li pointed in the direction of Matou Zouken's house.
"God's sanction!"
Snap! Snap!
A pillar of lightning, illuminating the entire city of Fuyuki, descended from the sky, heading towards the location of Zouken Matou's residence.
boom----! ! !
The Matou Zouken family's house exploded with a deafening roar.
The Matou family, one of the three great families of Fuyuki City, thus disappeared from this world.
Lu Li originally had the idea of getting rid of Matou Zouken.
Because he had seen in the anime how Zouken Matou used those disgusting insects to deal with Sakura.
Although Sakura is now his student, since she is his student, he will naturally show her some favoritism.
However, what truly made him decide to kill was today. When he entered the Matou family, he used his sensory abilities to scan the entire Matou residence.
The Matou family kept countless disgusting insects in their insect tank in the basement.
Moreover, these insects are also modifying many people, using them as replacements for Zouken Matou's body.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li had the idea of killing Matou Zouken.
Moreover, he had already offended Matou Zouken, and it was clear during the day that the other party was full of hostility towards him.
They even resorted to violence.
Although Lu Li didn't care about the other party's hostility at all, would a person regard an insect as an enemy just because the insect exudes hostility?
No, he'd just casually stomp on that bug and kill it.
"`々!!!"
Saber was shocked. What was that? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone could summon lightning from the sky so easily and launch such a terrifying attack.
"Master, this...this is..."
"Oh, this is the power of divinity. I killed a god from another world and obtained the power from him."
As Saber would become his closest confidante, he naturally had no intention of hiding anything from her; more honesty would make it easier to gain Saber's trust.
"Killed...killed a god from another world? Then what Rin said...the number..."
Saber suddenly remembered that at the dinner table, Rin Tohsaka had mentioned that Lu Li could even kill gods.
"Oh, that's true, but I didn't kill many gods, only three."
Chapter 130 Intimidating Tokiomi Tohsaka
"Three?!"
This isn't enough? How many gods do you want to kill?!
Just what kind of being is this Master? How could he even slay a god?
"Don't think of gods as so great. They are just a group of individuals with relatively strong abilities. I'll take you to see them when I have the chance."
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. You should go and get some rest."
Lu Li deactivated the magic shield.
"Yes!"
Although Lu Li didn't say much to her, the information he conveyed was enough for her to process for a while.
At this moment, in the basement of the Tohsaka family home.
Tokiomi Tohsaka was eavesdropping; he wasn't just eavesdropping on Lu Li's room, but also on his own daughter's room.
Judging from what Rin said at the dinner table today, she knows something about Lu Li, and she might even tell Sakura about it.
No, there are other ways. If you ask Rin directly, she might not tell you, and Lu Li might even find out.
Although Lu Li was very young, he could sense that the other party's wisdom was not as simple as it seemed. Even he himself needed to be careful, otherwise he might be caught out at any time.
I could easily have tricked Sakura into asking; it's perfectly normal for a child to be curious about their teacher's background.
After realizing that there was no sound in Lu Li's room, Tokiomi Tohsaka guessed that the other party might be using a soundproofing magic such as a barrier.
However, the magic in the yard was not triggered, so the other party should still be in the bedroom.
However, he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
The other party was indeed a cautious person.
Soon, he heard the sounds from Lu Li's room again, indicating that the conversation had ended.
He hadn't gotten any information, but Tokiomi Tohsaka wasn't discouraged. There was still plenty of time ahead, and as long as the other party participated in the Holy Grail War, everything would be within his plan.
At that moment, a man's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Teacher! There's an emergency to report!"
"Oh, is this Kirei? What's up?"
"Teacher, you asked me to monitor the Matou family... but the Matou family has... disappeared!!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned upon hearing this: "What disappeared? What do you mean by that?"
"It means exactly what it says, teacher. Just now, a heavy rain started falling from the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, evaporating the entire Matou family compound!"
Kirei Kotomine's voice even carried a hint of unspeakable fear.
"What?!!"
"How can this be?!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Putting aside everything else, the Matou family's residence is extremely large, and it's Zouken Matou's magic workshop, protected by a magical barrier.
Even if a missile hits, it might not be able to destroy the Matou family.
You're saying a single bolt of lightning could destroy the Matou family?
“I know you might not believe it, teacher. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either. That lightning bolt was like divine punishment.”
"It was about ten meters in diameter and fell straight down from the sky, hitting the Matou family. The Matou family just disappeared right before my eyes, leaving only a big hole and traces of being burned by lightning."
Kirei Kotomine's voice trembled slightly.
Tokiomi Tohsaka knew Kirei Kotomine's personality well; the latter almost never lied and probably didn't even know what lying was, so this matter must be true.
Did Zouken Matou commit too many sins and suffer divine retribution?
If a magician believes this, then he doesn't deserve to be a magician.
Then someone must have launched an attack on the Matou family.
The first person that came to Tokiomi Tohsaka's mind was Lu Li.
Just during the day, Zouken Matou had a conflict with Zouken Matou, and that very night, something happened at Zouken Matou's house.
It's hard not to suspect Lu Li.
But Lu Li has been in the bedroom the whole time, so how could he be at the Matou family's house?
He then thought of what Lu Li had said about teleportation. Could it be that it was teleported there? But even if that were the case, how could it control the lightning in the sky?
He wasn't sure, but he felt that Lu Li was probably involved in this matter.
