My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 636: Game on the Eve of the Final Battle

Without delay, Shuoyue, whose interest was aroused, went straight out and came to the rooftop of the academy.

Going up the stairs, the carnival of Tsukiumihara Academy has ended, and the traces of people have been buried by time. Eternity has once again taken charge of God's courtyard, sowing the seeds of loneliness, waiting expectantly for them to bloom into dead flowers.

It was not until he pushed open the door to the rooftop and saw the young lady with her twin ponytails dyed golden by the dusk, as graceful as a stag, that Shuoyue realized what it meant to be the same as before.

"Long time no see, Rin, you are still as beautiful as ever."

"Why are you talking about this right when we meet?" Rin seemed startled, and shyly lifted the ends of her hair. The light in her indigo eyes changed, and finally turned into a firm look. "Time is running out, so I'll make it short - Shuoyue, Julius invited the remaining masters to hunt you."

Facing Lin's warning, Sakutsuki put his hands in his pockets and acted very relaxed: "Julius, this guy still refuses to give up. There are only so few people left. What's the point of his plan?"

"Don't underestimate him, Sakutsuki." Lin said seriously, "Julius is the most powerful executive of the Western European chaebol. His command and planning abilities are both top-notch. They are not comparable to the ragtag army that night."

"Ah, come to think of it, I haven't thanked you yet." Shuoyue didn't take it seriously, and instead smiled and clapped his hands, "It was you who sent a message to Bai Ye that day, asking her to rescue me, right? You really helped a lot."

"Don't give me that. Don't think I don't know. I said I came to save you, but in fact, that was just your personal show." Linxu raised his eyes and complained, "Hakuno-chan told me that they didn't have a chance to fight back, but you saved them once."

Shirano-chan... um, are they on such a good relationship?
Speaking of that girl Hakuno, she has been working harder than Ichigo recently, going out early and coming back late, making Nero miserable. Last time, she stuck to the crack of the door and refused to leave, and was finally thrown out by Draco... I wonder what this second disciple is planning in secret.

Shuoyue seemed to be thinking about something, and Lin soon realized that the topic had been diverted. She gave him a reproachful look and then talked about the information she had found out:
"In addition to Leo, Julius, me, you, and Hakuno, Julius has also found information about another Master. The Servant she owns is Lancer Karna."

"...I understand. If it weren't for the fact that she was not allowed to stay in her room after the competition system was updated, she would have been on the sidelines until the very end."

"Shuoyue, do you know that master?" Lin asked curiously as he watched the young man holding his forehead.

"Ha, I know her, but she doesn't know me." Shuoyue was helpless. She didn't expect that the protagonists from EXTRA CCC would come to EXTRA. "Anyway, just pretend that we don't know each other."

"Then you should know about her servants, right? Karna, a great hero with the highest combat power and heroic spirit, the son of the sun god Surya, needless to say, he must be an opponent of the same level as Gawain." The girl put her hands on her hips and sighed worriedly, "Add Julius and his servants, and the difficulty will increase exponentially."

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean." Shuoyue raised his hands in surrender, "I will stay in my room honestly during this period of time and will never step out of the room."

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

"you swear?"

"I swear."

"Hmph..." With every question, Toosaka Rin took a step forward. When she came in front of Sakutsuki and saw the smile in his eyes, she understood everything.

"big liar."

"Hey, hey, I promised you."

"Yeah, even children know that adults can't trust them." Lin retorted unhappily, rubbing his temples with a headache, "I understand now. Anyway, you have never thought about hiding, right... I can only cooperate with you and play along with you."

"The one who knows me best is Lin." Shuoyue clapped in cooperation, and suddenly bent down and approached the girl. "Also, you are so nice to me, do you have any bad intentions?"

Beautiful young man, the effect is activated.

Judged a great success!
“What are you talking about!” Miss Rin, who was thin-skinned, broke down her defenses instantly and backed away, trying to create some distance. “I… I just don’t want that Leo guy to win! Besides, I’d rather help you than Julius… Ah… Ahhhh what am I talking about myself!”

Shuoyue grabbed the panicking Lin and hooked her lightly. Lin only saw the pair of fox-like smiling eyes flash in front of her. When she reacted, the young man had already passed by her, waved his hand elegantly, and walked towards the exit of the rooftop.

"Thanks, Rin. After we kill Julius, I'll treat you to a delicious meal~~"

"Hey, I'd rather not have this kind of elementary school-style reward!" Lin's face was full of black lines, and he shouted at Shuoyue, but the empty rooftop did not respond. Shuoyue walked down the stairs, recalling the girl's appearance, his eyes flickered.

The boring eve of the final battle is starting to become interesting.

----

Shortly after Sakutsuki left, Rin received a message from Julius and came to the meeting room in Tsukiumihara.

"You're late, Toosaka Rin." Julius, who was sitting in the main seat in the conference room, raised his head and did not hide his suspicious look. "The familiar that was tracking you has also lost contact for a while. What's going on?"

Sure enough, it came.

Rin was prepared for Julius' questioning. She smiled. In front of people other than Shuoyue, the girl was always confident and dignified:
“I have no intention of explaining anything to my temporary ‘ally’. We are just cooperating temporarily to remove obstacles. And you are so bold to say that. You actually sent a familiar to follow me. I am showing mercy by not retaliating against you.” Julius did not make any comment when faced with Miss Rin who was unwilling to give in and turned the tables. He was already used to the style of this old rival and just turned to look at another person in the meeting room.

He was a thin man wearing a golden armor with a sun-shaped pattern, shining like the sun.

Lancer Karna came on behalf of his Master.

Facing Julius's inquiring gaze, Karna nodded slightly, so Julius withdrew his gaze with satisfaction: "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the plan. Our opponent is the exceptionally powerful Shuoyue and his master Draco. They are our biggest opponents in this Holy Grail War. In order to deal with him, we must go all out..."

As Julius's bland and emotionless narration slowly unfolded the plan against Sakutsuki, Rin became more and more shocked the more she listened - she was different from Hakuno, after all, she had not personally experienced Sakutsuki's power, and only thought of him as a top-level Servant, not inferior to Gawain, and even slightly better.

However, under Julius's arrangement, even if Gawain went into battle personally, he would be seriously injured or even killed if he knew nothing!

Can Shuoyue overcome this difficulty?
Worried, Rin left the meeting room temporarily, saying she needed to go to the bathroom. After blocking the familiars that were watching her again, the girl opened the Master's terminal, but her movements paused.

Shuoyue’s arrogant look was still lingering in her mind. She gritted her teeth in annoyance and finally dialed another person’s number.

"Hey, Hakuno, something bad has happened!"

Ignoring the "this line sounds so familiar" complaints from the other end, Rin spilled the beans and quickly hung up the phone. Before Julius could get suspicious, she returned to the meeting room with a normal look on her face.

"Sorry for the long wait. Where are we now?"

“…I’m about to assign a mission.” Julius glanced at her and said nothing. “Lancer, please take charge of the frontal attack, and I will support you from the side and look for assassination opportunities.”

“Understood.” Karna nodded calmly and accepted the most difficult task, while Rin waited and waited but did not hear Julius’ next instruction.

"Hey, what about me?"

Hearing this, Julius paused slightly. He stopped sorting the data and looked up at Toosaka Rin with a strange and cold look in his eyes.

Rin had a bad feeling in her heart, and then she heard Julius's slow voice.

“Your value is the bait.”

"A bait to attract Shuoyue to appear."

Fell into a trap!
Rin instantly realized the crisis. She opened her mouth and was about to call upon the spiritual Servant, but a cold hand gripped her throat. A martial artist in a golden and red uniform stood behind her and could break the girl's slender neck with just a little force.

"Assassin Li Shuwen..." Lin breathed hard, a bitter smile forming on the corner of his mouth, "How did you break through my magic defense?"

"No comment," Li Shuwen said calmly, "but it's easy for any assassin to take off the head of a disturbed person."

"You're feeling uneasy, huh... Heh, I didn't expect that I'd become weak too. What's the reason?"

"You have a lot of time to think before Sakutsuki finds you." Julius interrupted Rin, "Assassin, knock her out."

"Yes."

----

Not long after, Julius’s cold voice echoed throughout Tsukiumihara Academy, accompanied by the sound of the school’s broadcast being connected.

"Tousaka Rin is my hostage now. Sakutsuki, if you have the courage, come to the third floor of Tsukiumihara to find me."

The broadcasting sound spread quickly, filling the empty school campus, and at the door of his own room, Shuoyue flicked up a coin, and the silver light rolled up and down, falling into the palm of the young man's hand.

Following the movement, he stood up and stretched.

"Ah~~ Things have really turned out like this."

Even though his friend's life was in danger, the young man's expression remained lazy, but when he raised his eyes, a hint of danger flashed across his golden vertical pupils.

“Julius, who challenged me to a fight despite knowing my strength, and the little sun who was summoned in the Moon Holy Grail War… I finally have something new to entertain myself while I wait for Leo and Hakuno.”

Without notifying the little red dragon who was just one door away, the young man walked towards the third floor of Yue Haiyuan.

"Well, let's start the game."
