The eldest daughter of the Tohsaka Family who burned down and defected from the Matou Family two years ago!
Anyone who had even slightly delved into collecting information about the Three Founding Families of the Holy Grail War for the purpose of participating in the Holy Grail War could not possibly be unaware of the existence of Tohsaka Rin.
After all, the Matou Family was also a famous family of mages. Their family grounds were suddenly broken through and burned down, even if the old family head was not present at the time, it was still a widely circulated big news in the magecraft world back then.
Almost everyone could guess that this incident was definitely done by the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka Family, Tohsaka Rin, who defected on the same night. However, Tohsaka Rin was just over five years old at the time, and due to lack of any evidence, the Matou Family at that time could only accept their fate and became a laughingstock in the mysterious world for a period.
The Servants might not know, but not a single Master present was unaware of the name Tohsaka Rin.
Irisviel looked at the stunningly beautiful young girl in front of her in disbelief, and said to Rin in an incredulous voice: "Rin, you, you are, Tohsaka Tokiomi's daughter?"
Rin smiled cheerfully in response to her: "That's right, Aunt Irisviel ~"
Rin's address of "Aunt" sent a shiver down Irisviel's entire body. Being called "Aunt" by a girl who looked seventeen, even though Irisviel knew she was a Homunculus who wouldn't age, she still felt like she had suddenly aged several decades.
Gilgamesh was currently staring down the enraged Black Knight. Lancelot's chilling gaze and Gilgamesh's icy, murderous stare intersected in mid-air, practically sparking!
Gilgamesh's first act upon appearing was to insult the king he served his entire life and felt guilty towards, whom he still couldn't let go of even after death, calling him a bastard. Immediately after, he gratuitously (in the perception of normal people) insulted his Master, whom he was determined to protect until death, calling her a "female," and then directly attacked, intending to kill Rin.
What is Lancelot now?
Berserker, the mad warrior.
What are the synonyms for Berserker?
Madness, belligerence, frenzy, fury, disregard for life and death!
Even if Lancelot had regained his full sanity after Rin strengthened his Mad Enhancement skill to A++, the Berserker's chaotic factors were only buried deeper and not gone.
At this moment, the Berserker Lancelot, enraged by Gilgamesh, could transform into a crazed beast at any moment, smashing into pieces this Servant who had belittled and insulted everything he currently cherished!
"Is this mad dog your reliance?"
Gilgamesh's eyes were icy, his killing intent chillingly met Lancelot's gaze, then he turned his eyes to Rin's confident smile.
People of lowly status have lowly and impure gazes. For those of noble status, to be looked at in such a way is an unbearable humiliation.
"Woman, for the sake of you being Tokiomi's daughter, I grant you my greatest leniency. If you now kneel before this King and command that mad dog to commit suicide, this King will forgive your previous sin of disrespect."
It sounded like an incredibly excessive demand. Regardless of Saber, Lancer, and even Rider, a hint of anger involuntarily escaped them, as Rin, after all, was an opponent he acknowledged.
Lancelot's fury escalated with this sentence, but only Rin knew that from Gilgamesh's perspective, this was truly the greatest leniency. For a bastard.
At this time, Gilgamesh had not yet deemed Tohsaka Tokiomi boring due to various later events. Because of Tohsaka Tokiomi's sincere treatment of him with the courtesy of a subject, Gilgamesh still acknowledged Tohsaka Tokiomi as his Master at this time, and it was for this reason that he accepted Tokiomi's suggestion to cooperate with him in staging that play. And thus, upon hearing Irisviel's words, he decided to give Rin a chance.
The crime of disrespecting a King was originally an absolute capital offense in any dynasty.
"Master... I want to, kill him...!"
The mental link transmitted by Lancelot had begun to show signs of confusion; he was clearly on the verge of berserking. Out of adherence to the principle of obeying his Master's command, he had not yet acted.
Rin leisurely put her gloves back on. At this moment, she thought, what did Illya say during the Fifth Holy Grail War? Oh, right—
"Go, Berserker."
"Ugh—!!!"
Rin's casual command severed the last iron chain holding back the caged tiger. Lancelot roared like a mad tiger unleashed, the dark negative energy swirling around his black armor erupted like a volcanic explosion, engulfing the entire scene. The azure light in his eyes, which had briefly regained reason, reverted to the blood-red color described in the original work/canon.
The battlefield, engulfed in a boundless black mist, was instantly illuminated by a magnificent golden glow! Hundreds of golden ripples instantly unfurled in the void behind Gilgamesh, and a hundred gleaming noble phantasm weapons simultaneously shot out!
"It seems you didn't cherish your last chance."
Gilgamesh said coldly, expressionlessly, his eyes lowered as he watched everything before him. The radiant light of the shooting noble phantasms illuminated his figure, making him appear incredibly noble.
The roar broke the silence of the night, and the continuous flashes of explosions seemed to want to clear the entire night sky. The immense destructive power generated by the noble phantasms made it hard to believe that these were merely thrown swords and blades. The noble phantasm weapons cut into the container exteriors as easily as a hot knife through butter. Even Saber and others in the warehouse district were showered with countless noble phantasms falling like rain, a completely indiscriminate carpet bombing.
Saber swiftly swung her Holy Sword, parrying three noble phantasms flying towards her and Irisviel. At this moment, she harbored extreme resentment towards the golden Servant on the lamppost. However, when she looked up again, she saw dozens of noble phantasms reflecting back towards their original owner from the most densely attacked area.
"Clink..."
The delayed crisp metallic clanging sound came like a chorus of countless voices, dozens of sounds of weapons being knocked away ringing out simultaneously. The noble phantasms Gilgamesh had shot towards Rin and Lancelot, after the first scimitar was caught by Lancelot, the rest were all instantly batted back by Lancelot.
The noble phantasms that were batted back had no specific target; they just flew wildly towards Gilgamesh. An axe and a scimitar struck the lamppost where Gilgamesh stood.
The lamppost and containers were both destroyed. The next moment, Rin, Lancelot, and Gilgamesh simultaneously appeared on the ground. The others immediately and wisely cleared the area, with the two sides appearing 200 meters apart.
Gilgamesh, re-formed from the golden dust, had crimson eyes burning with towering rage. "How dare you make this King, who stands above the azure sky, stand on the ground like you bastards? Have you decided what kind of death you will use to atone!"
