Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Was there something about him that displeased the other party? Tōsaka Tokiomi believed he had done nothing wrong to his disciple, whether it was in terms of magic or the relics provided by the war.

"Haah, haah..."

Kotomine Kirei was breathing heavily, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. His eyes were filled with excitement, and his arms were shaking with excitement from stabbing his teacher in the back.

"King of Heroes, is this my true nature?" Kotomine Kirei said tremblingly.

My heart was beating fast, I was happy because I had killed a life, and I was jumping for joy because I had killed the teacher...

"How twisted I am...hahahahahaha!"

Chapter 79 I need to replenish your magic power, Saber

From the balcony of the Tohsaka residence, joyful laughter could be heard in the evening.

At this moment, it was as if the flower of evil was blooming on the earth.

The blond, red-eyed Hero King Gilgamesh, standing nearby, ignored his Master's dying gaze for help. He wasn't even interested in glancing at Tōsaka Tokiomi. Instead, his red eyes watched the 'mad' Kotomine Kirei with great interest.

He had only piqued the interest of his disciple, Tōsaka Tokiomi, but the result was surprising.

In his eyes, the good and evil of human beings are not common sense. At least at this moment, Kotomine Kirei, who has been suppressing his own heart, is more like a "human being" in Gilgamesh's eyes!

"Now you understand what pleasure is, Kirei." Gilgamesh did not hesitate to express his admiration.

Kotomine Kirei hummed. Perhaps he was a born villain, a potential antisocial element, and a born deformity.

He felt nothing when his relatives died, and remained numb under the care of his father and teacher.

however--

At the moment he killed his mentor, the feeling when the dagger pierced Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart, the pleasure brought by life and blood at that moment, made him feel a sense of satisfaction of 'finally alive'.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu, whom he had indirectly encountered before, was curious about that man, and at this moment he couldn't help but want to share this pleasure with him, so that the man could also find his own nature in that confused state.

"Now, it's your turn to please the king." Gilgamesh raised the corner of his mouth.

Kotomine Kirei came back to his senses from his happy state and looked down at the corpse on the ground that was gradually losing its life.

Gilgamesh said calmly, "Tōsaka Tokiomi is indeed a good Master, but that is only in terms of magic power supply."

Gilgamesh disliked the king's understanding of him and the pedantry ingrained in his nature.

For example, the first time he activated his Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Separation, the opponent used the Command Seals to force him to leave the field, and the opponent's fate was sealed at that moment.

He attempted to control the king by using the method of controlling a 'familiar', but the other party died because of the magician's arrogance.

"I need to go take care of this."

"Of course." Gilgamesh responded, and then seemed to sense something: "Wait, Kirei. It seems we have guests coming."

"Oh?" Kotomine Kirei subconsciously looked towards the door, and just as Gilgamesh said, there were two figures standing there.

When Kotomine Kirei saw one of them, his face was stunned.

"Emiya Kiritsugu?"

He had imagined that the two were natural enemies, or were fighting an invisible battle somewhere, but he had never thought that the other party would visit him directly.

Gilgamesh revealed an amused expression. "Unfortunately, the Holy Grail War limits the summoning of only seven Servants. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind having some more fun."

Kotomine Kirei did not understand the meaning of Gilgamesh's words. He did not have the clairvoyance that the other party could see through everything.

"However—in this Holy Grail War, that sewer rat in Mount Enzo has begun to violate regulations and do things that reduce my enjoyment. Kirei, go meet him; they should have information about that guy from before," Gilgamesh suggested.

Kotomine Kirei: “…”

He always felt that the Hero King Gilgamesh was guiding him in a certain direction.

……

night.

Yuanzang Mountain, Liudong Temple.

On a dark night, in Medea's magic workshop.

Altria was brought here by Fan Yu and met Irisviel.

Like spider-like glowing threads, she lifted her hands high, her body prone on tiptoe. The dense threads bound Irisviel's body tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Irisviel had been standing like this for hours. If the silk threads on her body weren't flexible enough to allow her to turn over and over, she might have been paralyzed by now. However, after seeing Altria, Irisviel's mentality, which had originally gone from struggling to numbness, suddenly became lively.

Altria stared at the former Master's wife in this state, stunned. This shameful posture made her mind think of Irisviel's taming process...

“Irisviel…” Artoria hesitated to speak.

Irisviel, who had been lifeless, became very excited. She completely ignored everything around her and said with great surprise, "Saber, you're here too. Where's Kiritsugu? Is he okay?"

Altria looked ashamed: "This——"

Irisviel's joy came and went quickly. She also caught the hesitation on Altria's face, and when she saw Fan Yu appearing behind Altria, her eyes suddenly turned into a look of disbelief.

“Saber, what is this…?!”

Altria whispered, "I'm sorry, Irisviel, but I've already failed in this competition."

Irisviel was stunned upon hearing this news. She had thought it would be a rescue, but she had only been sent to the same place again. Now even Saber had become their captive.

Fan Yu walked over step by step: "Saber used the conditions of surrendering to us in exchange for the lives of her Master and you. Anyway, let's get along well from now on!"

Irisviel opened her mouth, feeling a little hard to accept for a moment.

However, faced with such a situation, she seemed unable to do anything.

Fan Yu turned around and gave a look to Medea who came in beside him.

The latter understood what he meant and snorted in displeasure, then opened his hands and released the restraints that were tightly bound around Irisviel.

Irisviel, who had been in a shameful posture for a long time, felt her body relax and she fell forward in front of Fan Yu, and was then hugged by Fan Yu with one hand.

Irisviel's face froze for a moment, and she immediately pushed the figure in front of her away: "Please respect yourself. I'm already a married woman..."

Fan Yu glanced at the slight blush on the other person's face, smiled faintly and didn't care.

He turned to Altria beside him and said, "For today's battle, the arrangements at Ryudo Temple are probably known to other Servants, and you will need to join the battle from now on..."

Altria nodded meticulously: "What do you need me to do?"

"I need to replenish your magic power for the upcoming battle, Saber."

Chapter 80: Connection Completed, Acquired Trait "Magic Resistance A"

late at night.

Under the moonlight.

The physical and mental connection between the Servant and the Master creates a magical resonance.

The legendary Knight King seemed to be returning home after a victorious war, riding his horse gracefully, swinging his legs leisurely, and occasionally letting out a happy hum from his nose.

The moonlight cast a shadow on the fields, coating them with layers of glittering silver frost.

There seemed to be a faint rhythmic sound in the air. As the horse suddenly raised its head in the middle of the night, the Knight King cried out in surprise and quickly held the horse's back.

half an hour...

The frightened Knight King dismounted from his mount, beads of sweat on his brow and a light exhalation of white air.

There was a hint of mist in her eyes, as well as a long-lost excitement.

Wisps of golden magic shone beneath the moonlight, bringing a dazzling radiance. It formed resonant ripples around the atmosphere mid-air. Even the white dew hanging on the golden fields was slowly assimilated by this rhythm, transforming into a sea of ​​golden magic particles.

The Knight King had rested perfectly from her triumphant battle, her face flushed and her spirits high.

"Saber, your magic power is far from enough..."

When Altria heard the voice, the fighting spirit in her green eyes gradually rose.

Now that she is a knight, she will not admit defeat in this battle.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

It was still light outside Liudong Temple.

In the temple room, after finally finishing supplying magic power to the Master and Servant, Artoria had changed back into her spirit garment of blue clothes and silver armor.

The mess left behind by yesterday's battle outside Ryudo Temple seemed to have been repaired by the supply of magic power. The young knight's face was full of radiance, and her eyes seemed to be shining.

"Master, I'm ready." Altria stood in the room and greeted Fan Yu who was still sleeping on the floor.

Fan Yu turned his head slowly, annoyed by her meticulous and rigid attitude. "Don't you want to take a break? Caster's positions are set up outside Liudong Temple. We will know in advance if an invader arrives."

Altria's face was filled with seriousness. "Only the magic power of a Heroic Spirit can affect its condition. I have already replenished my magic power and do not need to rest any longer."

Her face was serious, as if she was indifferent to her behavior yesterday.

However, whether the magic replenishment between the Servant and the Master is really ordinary, Artoria herself probably doesn't know at the moment.

She undoubtedly considered yesterday's action as a normal process of replenishing magic between a Servant and a Master. However, the only thing that made her feel different was that the powerful Master in front of her was willing to become his mount in order to replenish his magic.

In her time, she had to conceal her female identity in order to become king, and most men still cared about their dignity. It was strange that the new master had no reaction at all to this humiliating thing.

"By the way, do you feel anything about your connection?" Fan Yu asked as a reminder.

Altria's expression paused, then a look of confusion appeared on her face. "Master, what are you talking about?"

Fan Yu: "..."

She had a puzzled look on her face, as if silently telling him that he hadn't tried hard enough last night and hadn't been able to help her reach the highest physical connection.

However, from Fan Yu's perspective, the information that the ability of [Harmonious Bliss] fed back to the other party was undoubtedly presented.

【Biological Information】

Altria Pendragon.

Race: Human (Dragon)

Gender: Female.

Status: Spirit, Joyful Echo (Can be connected)

Attribute: dragon

Traits: Knight/King of Camelot/Holy Swordsman/Barren/Perfect/Immortal/Magic Resistance/Intuition/Gambling EX/Female Bodyguard in a Suit/Riding/Magic Release/Red Dragon Core...

Current connection level: Depth 6

[Feedback received today: Acquired the trait "Magic Resistance A"]

Lines of information appeared in Fan Yu's perspective. It was not only the heroic spirit panel that could be observed after connecting the contract, but also the biofield properties of the other party that could be captured under the perspective of [Harmonious Bliss].

As a spirit, after being summoned to the world as a heroic spirit, she possesses characteristics that are in the form of accumulation. Apart from the relevant characteristics that have already been displayed, she also has some inexplicable properties such as being a glutton, a foodie, and having a dark side.

Also because she was a Heroic Spirit, after replenishing her magic with Fanyu, Artoria directly reached [Depth 6] from the connected state through her body and mind.

Through the [Anti-Magic] characteristic he felt at this moment, Fan Yu had already vaguely felt that most of the magic set up around Liudong Temple no longer had any effect on him.

It has to be said that it was a very wise choice for him to set his sights on the heroic spirits of the Holy Grail War when he came to this world.

Because no matter what method is used, it is impossible to reasonably push the target connection level to this point in such a short time. It is also impossible to push it so quickly and have so many extraordinary characteristics.

"Maybe you should communicate with me like this." Seeing the innocent confusion on her face, Fan Yu directly transmitted the meaning of his consciousness to the other party's mind through the connection state of [Harmonious Bliss].

An invisible ripple, constructed under the spectral colors, was pulled into a thread, connecting Fan Yu and Altria together.

When Altria heard the sudden voice in her heart, the hair on her head stood up instinctively. Her [intuition] took effect and she immediately became alert.

However, this automatic intuition quickly realized that there was no threat, causing Altria to relax. A moment later, as if sensing something, her emerald green eyes suddenly turned towards Fan Yu, "Master?"

The voice was Fan Yu's, but it was not a direct conversation.

Fan Yu: "How is the status of the information you are receiving at the moment?"

Hearing Fan Yu's question, Altria looked confused.

If I were to describe what I felt at this moment, it would probably be a conversation of thoughts, where I could understand the true meaning without even speaking. But this ability actually allowed the Master and Servant to communicate over long distances, as long as neither side was too resistant.

But she knew that wasn't what she was referring to.

and……
