Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

[It appears as a Rider class, so it can be controlled.]

He responded to Waver's summons from the Throne of Heroes, initially out of anger at the theft of his beloved wife's pendant. But after returning to the real world, in addition to punishing the thief, he also wanted to obtain a body through the Holy Grail and achieve resurrection.

In today's world, it may be possible to once again dominate a new era as we did in Egypt.

……

the other side.

The Assassin girl, who had escaped from the battlefield using [Breath Blocking], returned to a church after her night stroll... no, after scouting the surroundings.

Under the dim candlelight, Assassin smelled the unpleasant odor as soon as she walked in. In the dim shadow of the light, her Master walked out with a gloomy face.

"Master, good evening." The Assassin girl waved and called out, trying to make the expression on the face of the priest master wearing a cross pendant in front of her more varied.

Kotomine Kirei ignored the outgoing girl and said coldly, "Assassin...it's been a while since you left. How's the intelligence gathering going?"

The girl's face was calm. "Tonight was pretty good. I saw Lancer and Berserker fighting each other, and Caster. Rider also showed up at the end."

Kotomine Kirei frowned: "Tell me in detail!"

"No, there's no detailed explanation. I was just watching from a distance. If I were discovered as an Assassin and had rushed into their battlefield, I'd probably never be able to return," the girl replied.

However, facing the gloomy look on her master's face, she still told him what she saw and heard about the golden earring spearman, the berserker with an axe and sword, and finally her encounter with Osmandis flying in the air.

Kotomine Kirei listened to her words, deep in thought.

He had actually heard about the golden-armored spearman from his master, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was summoned by the magician from the Clock Tower. His real name was unknown, but it was known that he was a powerful Heroic Spirit.

As for Berserker's true form, this was the first time he'd heard of it being massive. Based on their previous understanding, the Matou family possessed a relic related to the Knights of the Round Table. Wasn't it supposed to summon a Knight of the Round Table? Or had the Berserker class distorted its original image?

As for the last Rider, Kotomine Kirei, there is a lack of effective information, so it is impossible to infer his origin.

"You did well, Assassin." Kotomine Kirei nodded.

A puzzled expression appeared on the girl's face. "That's it? Master, I helped you complete this task, aren't you going to give me some money to have fun?"

Kotomine Kirei: “…”

For some unknown reason, the holy relic he originally possessed summoned such a strange modern girl.

The other party came from the Far East, but claimed to be the heir of the "Ryogi" family, one of the four great demon-exorcising families. Based on Kotomine Kirei's knowledge, he personally went to investigate after summoning them, but found that in the Far East where he was, there was no such thing as the things the girl said.

In the end, based on the explanation given by his teacher Tōsaka Tokiomi, he could only blame the other party on being an exorcist from a parallel universe.

Kotomine Kirei looked at the Servant girl who called herself 'Ryougi Shiki'. She was not even 20 years old, but her agility among the Heroic Spirit attributes had reached A standard, and she also possessed an extremely powerful power - the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Kotomine Kirei silently searched his pockets and found nothing: "I don't carry anything like that."

Ryougi Shiki: "Tsk, stingy fellow. Now that I've completed my mission for today, I'm no longer under your control. See you tomorrow morning, Master."

Without giving Kotomine Kirei a chance to speak, Ryougi Shiki turned and left.

Kotomine Kirei stared at her back in a daze. It was not that he had not thought about stopping her, but he had tried it on the first day of summoning. The girl's eyes reflected a gaze that could kill gods, making him feel as if everything in her eyes was just an object that could be chopped into pieces.

And Ryougi Shiki's true nature is definitely not as she appears now, three parts cold and seven parts lively.

"I have to go report to the teacher." In the church, only Kotomine Kirei's whispers were left.

Soon after.

late at night.

There is no need to tire of the human body, nor to worry about killers appearing.

All the energy for their actions was provided by their Master. Ryougi Shiki had already walked from the church to Mount Enzo.

Her eyes opened brightly in the darkness, and above her head, dense lines of death appeared...

The trees, stones, buildings in the forest... and the magical buildings that encompass the sky and the ground.

"Can this thing be destroyed?"

A man appeared in front of him: "I advise you not to."

Chapter 55 Deadline

Ryougi Shiki's heart trembled.

Her footsteps instinctively jumped back, and with the Heroic Spirit's [Agility: A] specification, her body leaped back dozens of meters in an exaggerated manner.

Staring at the man who appeared in front of her, a hint of solemnity appeared on Ryougi Shiki's face.

When the other party appeared beside her, she, an Assassin with a keen sense of perception, did not even notice it.

"Who are you?" Ryougi Shiki stared at the other person and asked.

Fan Yu: "This is the question I want to ask, high school student."

"High school student..." Ryougi Shiki looked puzzled. This was a familiar name to her. At least, she had never been addressed like that in front of the priest Master.

However, compared to these names, Ryougi Shiki's attention was completely focused on the man in front of her and the building reflected behind him.

"Did you make this?"

Fan Yu hummed: "It can be regarded as providing ideas, and the rest will be completed by my servants."

His honest and frank look made Medea, who was silent in her spiritual form beside him, speechless and she held her forehead with her hands.

She admired the Master's frank attitude, but as for possible enemies, it was a completely different matter.

They had just returned from a battle with Lancer and were about to go to sleep when they unexpectedly encountered a heroic spirit intrusion.

"Master, take a good look at this child. She is not human!" Medea reminded.

Fan Yu hummed, holding his chin as he looked at the girl in front of him: "Based on the concealment skills you just displayed, is your class Assassin?"

Ryougi Shiki's expression paused. She wasn't at all flustered by having her identity revealed. Instead, she stared at the two of them with her strange demonic eyes. "You've gathered here with a big agenda."

Medea was startled for a moment, then laughed playfully: "Can you tell what I have arranged?"

Ryougi Shiki snorted and glanced at the scene behind the other person. The lines covering the sky over there were now completely visible to his eyes.

"Although I have no interest in the wish-granting machine that appeared in the Holy Grail War, my Master talked about the spiritual veins of Mount Enzo. The dead line of the building behind you has been connected to the ground beneath your feet." Ryougi Shiki responded.

Although she didn't understand the magicians' stuff, her [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception] could capture the death lines of all things. When these lines were intertwined, combined with the information provided by Kotomine Kirei, it was easy to determine the problem.

There was a hint of subtlety in Medea's beautiful eyes: "Anything else?"

"The magic power of the Holy Grail needs to be provided by the ley lines here, but you have already planned all this in advance. And--" Ryougi Shiki stared at the two of them, and the colors reflected by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were a little strange.

Caster was fine, like the several heroic spirits she had seen, their death lines were all in their spirit cores.

On the contrary, this Caster's Master...

He had the same death line that most humans have, but on the back of his hand, there was something new. The air seemed to be filled with the death lines of many things, all connected to his life force.

It feels like everything is connected.

If she used the game of her time to describe it, it would be like a big boss with hundreds of lives, who was impossible to kill or chop off.

"I see, you were able to discern this. Even for an unknown Assassin, your grasp of intelligence is remarkable," Medea praised. However, her hand had already quietly extended from beneath her sleeve.

The magic power in the atmosphere began to slowly condense under the control of Medea's magic.

A purple magic circle quietly emerged from under Ryougi Shiki's feet.

Her expression remained unchanged as she looked down at the spinning magic circle beneath her feet and tightly gripped the dagger in her hand.

"burst!"

Medea growled.

Almost at the same time, Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception locked onto the death line of the magic circle under her feet. At the moment of explosion when the magic power surged and expanded, Ryougi Shiki swung the dagger in her hand and slashed at the magic circle.

Chi!

At the boundary where neither matter nor energy existed, the spell called "magic circle" was cut off by the blade in her hand.

With a loud bang, the force that was originally enough to engulf Ryougi Shiki's body in flames exploded like a dud in a radius of less than 20 centimeters before dying down.

Ryougi Shiki jumped back with a whoosh, creating some distance between them. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket that stood out in the dark. She glanced down at the corner of her kimono, where a trace of burnt embers from the explosion remained.

[I was careless!] — Ryougi Shiki thought to herself.

However, she was more amazed at how such powerful magic could be unleashed so quickly. According to her own Master, Kotomine Kirei, a magician's attacks should be very slow. Doesn't chanting magic take time?

"You can actually cut off my magic..." Medea was also surprised by Ryougi Shiki's methods.

This unconventional Servant gave her a little more interest in those conventional battles. She stared at Ryougi Shiki, her fingertips dancing: "Flame!"

Behind him, the magical power of the earth veins of Liudong Temple was quickly extracted and dispersed into the atmosphere.

Among the various rituals that had already been formed in the atmosphere, one corner was activated, directly connecting to the underground traces of the two rituals.

With a loud bang, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky out of thin air beneath Ryougi Shiki's feet. At the same time, a swift shadow jumped out from the ground burned by the flames.

The light source reflecting the flames continued to erupt, and in the deep mountains there was a fluid change that transformed into a new shape after the eruption.

Ryougi Shiki jumped out as a shadow and observed this scene, and tutted.

Immediately, she sank her footsteps and rushed to the ground of the expanding pillar of fire in a low stride, and directly cut off the connection between its earth veins and the magic circle with the blade in her hand.

Click!

The connection between the magic circle constructed by the sky-high flames and the earth veins was cut off.

All the light sources in the air seemed to have lost their energy supply, and the red flames in the air quickly turned into scattered dots and dissipated in the atmosphere.

"...Unbelievable." Medea's face looked a little ugly.

Ryougi Shiki snorted and cursed, "You're the one who's unbelievable, Caster. How can a magician just shout out a spell and it work? That's cheating."

She felt like a flea bouncing around in place, without any sense of accomplishment at all for having successfully circumvented the magic.

Chapter 56: Mystic Eyes of Death

Ryougi Shiki wanted to refute the thought that she couldn't express, but she saw the magic circle under her feet surging again.

Facing the gaze from Caster opposite her, she had no choice but to dodge continuously to avoid being locked in the magic circle. At the same time, she aimed at the moment to find the dead line of the magic circle and destroy it at the root with one knife.

A battle like a chase began on the field.

To Medea, Ryougi Shiki was a slippery loach. If her magic wanted to lock onto the opponent and ignore the strange "magic-cutting spell", it would probably only be possible after the opponent's physical strength was exhausted.

As for Ryougi Shiki, she wasn't afraid of any attack. However, within the Ryudo Temple, within the sight of her [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], the lines of death were too dense. Even if she tried to cut them down, she wouldn't be able to finish them even if she waited until next year.

And this is when the opposing Caster doesn't offer any resistance.

Of course, in Ryougi Shiki's eyes, there was a huge 'dead line' behind the two of them.

It symbolizes the source of all the magic power of this sacred land and the replenishment of the magical connection with Caster's formations.

But Ryougi Shiki knew that there was no way they would give her the chance to reach the rear base and destroy the entire situation. Besides...

Ryougi Shiki's eyes were fixed on the Master beside Caster across from her. This guy, who was even more terrifying than his Servant, had not taken any action so far.

"Maybe it's time to retreat." - Ryougi Shiki thought.

What happened tonight was just like all the supernatural phenomena he had encountered in the past, with no warning at all.

Only this time it seems more difficult.

However, the magic circles she had just broken had already cut off several spells that had entered the outer perimeter of Liudong Temple. As long as she did not choose to go deep into the opposite side, it would actually relieve some pressure on her retreat route.

"Master, do you still want to watch the show?" Medea growled unhappily.

Fan Yu's expression was calm, his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him: "I'm just observing her moves."

Judging from the current situation, the girl's every action, whether evasive or otherwise, did not involve any magical manipulation. All her actions seemed to be derived solely from her own skills and the inherent qualities bestowed upon her by her class as an Assassin.

However, everything was done in a physical form, but the small dagger in her hand could easily cut off Medea's magic of the Age of Gods.

The only thing that caused this was the opponent's demonic eye that had been flashing from the very beginning.

"We can't let this Assassin leave here. She has seen through our arrangements in Liudong Temple." Medea said seriously.

Fan Yu didn't care about this. The other servants would know the arrangements of Liudong Temple sooner or later.

Moreover, the current situation is completely different from before. In the several studies on [Destiny] completed by Medea, under the premise of this home field advantage, even if an extraordinary heroic spirit like Karna came in person, they would be able to make the opponent suffer.

but--

Having said that, Fan Yu was very interested in the Assassin in front of him's ability to cut off everything.
