Under the intervention of Alaya and Gaia, the aftermath of their clash was quickly smoothed over. Both of them sensed this, but neither of them cared.
At this moment, Goldie only wanted to kill the damn brat in front of him. Stowing away [Ea], he directly pulled out a sickle-type [Noble Phantasm] and charged. Seeing this, Ren Isana sneered as the aura of a God Slayer completely exploded from his body. He spoke, "I heard you possess [Divinity]?"
This was the first time Ren Isana had truly unleashed his God Slayer power. Upon sensing the aura radiating from Goldie, the blood in his veins began to boil. After all, Goldie possessed a considerable level of [Divinity].
To a God Slayer, that was practically a lethal attraction. The only thing Ren Isana found regrettable was that this guy wasn't a genuine god, meaning he couldn't plunder his power.
Otherwise, Ren Isana would have high-low constructed a Reincarnation Array to use Goldie as nourishment. But whatever, he would just settle for killing the guy now. "Ha? It seems I underestimated you. I didn't think you were actually a God Slayer!!" Goldie was genuinely startled. This guy had been hiding far too deep!!
As the God Slayer aura was released, Goldie felt the [Divinity] within his body being suppressed. Ultimately, he wasn't a complete god; when facing a God Slayer, he was suppressed even more heavily!
Ren Isana drew his weapon and lunged forward, saying, "Isn't it normal for you to look down on people? After all, you in this state are the most annoying version. If it were the Wise King, I wouldn't mind having a pleasant chat with him. Unfortunately... you aren't him."
If there was one version of Goldie that was the most unpleasant, it was undoubtedly the one standing right here. He was so arrogant it was revolting, so it was better to just send him back to the Throne of Heroes!
Ren Isana held his blade with one hand and clashed against him. Goldie froze for a moment when he heard Ren's words, but he quickly understood what the boy meant. The other versions of himself were naturally also him.
He didn't have much of an opinion on it. This was just how he was in this state; what could he do about it? It was Tokiomi Tohsaka's fault for summoning him from this specific period.
"Anchor of the Holy Spear!" While the two were clashing and Goldie was distracted by his thoughts, he suddenly heard Ren Isana's voice, which left him completely bewildered.
What the hell? You can spam that move? He looked up only to see a golden spear of light condensing in Ren Isana's empty left hand. In the next heartbeat, the spear lunged straight for his kidney.
"Damn it!!" Goldie tried to retreat, but it was already too late. [Rhongomyniad] was unsheathed once more, stabbing ruthlessly toward his kidney. His golden armor offered no protection against Ren Isana's attack.
Suddenly getting skewered by a spear, Goldie retreated rapidly. His eyes were fixed on the bastard Ren Isana. This kid was incredibly underhanded—throwing out a move like that during a close-quarters melee?
Watching the retreating Goldie, Ren Isana dissipated his weapon and the spear of light. In the next instant, he turned into a literal bolt of light and charged. He was pushing his [Authority of the Sun] to its absolute limit.
He transformed into solar light itself, reaching Goldie's face in the blink of an eye. He swung a fist directly at Goldie's face. *Boom!* Hit by Ren Isana's heavy punch, Goldie was sent flying to the side, rolling across the ground in a pathetic display. By the time he stood back up, half of his face was swollen.
"Uruk curses #$%@#%..." Goldie started swearing like a sailor, and it was incredibly foul. You aren't supposed to hit the face, but this damn guy? He punched him until his face was swollen!
"Please exit the stage. Send the Wise King next time!" Ren Isana said as he looked at Goldie. A crimson light suddenly flickered in his right hand. The moment he saw that light, Goldie's pupils shrank.
"You bastard!!" Goldie simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was clearly the same power that appeared when he used [Ea]. This guy had realized it through mere [Magecraft]?
Seeing Goldie's shocked expression, a smirk played across Ren Isana's face. "Unexpected, right? I can play like this too. Let me use this freshly completed technique to send you back."
The battle with Goldie had allowed Ren Isana to instantly grasp the mechanics of [Ea]. Combined with the foundation he gained from learning about [Rhongomyniad] from Morgan, understanding the principles of [Ea]'s spatial destruction was as easy as breathing.
Furthermore, Ren Isana himself possessed spatial abilities. Replicating it wasn't just easy; he had even used it as a basis to create several new types of [Spatial Magic]!
"Tsk. Alaya and Gaia actually allowed someone like you to enter?" Goldie stared at Ren Isana. To instantly analyze and replicate [Ea]—not even a Heroic Spirit could do that.
Every Heroic Spirit's [Noble Phantasm] was unique. Yet, the person before him could use [Magecraft] to instantly learn his [Ea]. It was beyond absurd.
That Alaya and Gaia could tolerate such an existence was somewhat surprising to Goldie. Another point was the God Slayer aura on the boy... He stared intently at Ren Isana and continued, "You aren't from this world, are you!"
The gods had long since withdrawn; it was impossible for a new God Slayer to be born. After being punched by Ren Isana, Goldie's brain had returned to its proper place. Although he hadn't brought the Star of All-Knowing and All-Powerful down with him, he quickly deduced the man's identity.
"You caught me. In that case, I'll reward you with a shot of [Ea]!" As Ren Isana's words fell, the crimson light in his hand blasted toward Goldie without hesitation.
Facing such an attack, Goldie didn't try to dodge. No one knew the power of this attack better than him. There was no need to dodge, and he wouldn't. This [War Game]—this Holy Grail War—had been an absolute disgrace for him.
He had been beaten back just one day after arriving. He gave Ren Isana a deep, meaningful look and gave up all resistance. Next time they met, it wouldn't be like this!!
Space was torn asunder as Goldie was swallowed by the fracturing void. Without any resistance, he returned directly to the Throne of Heroes, becoming the second Heroic Spirit to exit the stage.
Having dealt with Goldie, Ren Isana felt a surge of amusement as he watched the space rapidly repair itself. Alaya and Gaia were truly terrified of this world collapsing, otherwise, the [Dimensional Rift] wouldn't be so easy to fix.
The moment Goldie exited, Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally sensed it immediately. He couldn't believe any of it. He had seen everything that happened after Ren Isana released the [Spatial Barrier].
He had watched that youth suppress Goldie throughout the entire fight and even replicate Goldie's [Noble Phantasm] using [Magecraft]. As a magus, he understood exactly how much weight that carried.
Because of this, he had been standing there with his mouth agape the entire time, even forgetting to use a [Command Spell]. A human actually suppressed and beat a Heroic Spirit? My god, this was a joke!!
Was this really something a magus could achieve? Even if those True Magicians showed up, it would likely be difficult for them to face Goldie, right? A bewildered Tokiomi Tohsaka was now completely unable to comprehend the situation.
However, no one was going to explain it to him. After Ren Isana finished off Goldie, his gaze turned toward the [Assassin] hidden in the shadows. Without a moment's hesitation, he moved.
When fighting [Assassin], as long as you knew their location, killing them was as easy as playing a game. In an instant, Ren Isana turned into light. Golden rays flitted across various points of the pier. By the time Ren Isana stopped...
The hidden [Assassin] also exited the stage instantly. Having dealt with the third Heroic Spirit, Ren Isana began heading toward Irisviel. Next, he would take Irisviel away!
At this moment, Irisviel had collapsed in weakness due to the return of three Heroic Spirits. Kiritsugu Emiya had already regrouped with her and was currently taking the frail Irisviel away from the scene.
The events of tonight forced Kiritsugu Emiya to reconsider his plans. The opponents were too strong—strong enough to induce despair. That Master plus Morgan and another as-of-yet unnamed C-class.
The strength of that C-class was equally terrifying. Although they hadn't shown their hand, they had been able to toy with the King of Conquerors like a plaything. From that point alone, it was clear this wasn't someone his current self could defeat.
Kiritsugu Emiya already had his assistant waiting for him not far ahead. However, as he drew near, he discovered that Maiya Hisau was currently being held firmly under Ren Isana's control.
Ren Isana was already waiting for him to arrive. And the scene... well, it was a bit horrifying for him!
There, Ren Isana had a row of missiles standing upright beside him, all of them aimed in his direction. Kiritsugu Emiya even spotted one that looked like a nuke.
Seeing this, Kiritsugu Emiya fell silent. Ren Isana's next words made him feel like he was about to crack.
"Mr. Emiya, care for a [sniping duel]? I'll even let you pull out your sniper rifle." Ren Isana looked at him with a beaming smile and said the words that left him speechless. Was this right? A [sniping duel]? What was he supposed to duel with? Do you even see the caliber of that thing you have? If you want me dead, just say it. However, since Ren Isana hadn't attacked him directly and had instead come to joke with him, Kiritsugu Emiya understood that this person must have other intentions. Thinking this through, Kiritsugu looked at Ren Isana calmly and said, "Sir, just tell me what your goal is."
"Your wife is quite nice, and your daughter is great too!" Ren Isana nodded, his gaze filled with praise as he looked at the Irisviel the man was holding. As a person from Japan, Kiritsugu Emiya's face darkened immediately. He stared death at Ren Isana. Was this guy here to humiliate him?
"Oh, don't misunderstand. Although I'd like to be Lord Cao, I'm not into NTR in front of the husband. I'm a decent man, after all!" Seeing the other man's face change instantly, Ren Isana quickly offered an explanation.
