Since Emiya Kiritsugu launched an attack on the Lesser Holy Grail without the arrival of the Great Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the energy of the Great Holy Grail's ley lines was not greatly consumed. In the past ten years alone, the Fifth Holy Grail War has ushered in.
The participants in the battle are: Tohsaka Rin and Saber Artoria, Tohsaka Sakura and Rider-Medusa, Bazett and Lancer-Cullen, Matou Shinji and Archer-Robin Hood, Atram and Caster- Medea, Rani VIII and Assassin - Tetsuya Yamama, Illya and Berserker - Hercules.
There are three major anomalies in this Holy Grail War. One is that the Tohsaka sisters join forces to participate in the war. The other is that someone uses Shinji Matou as a puppet to indirectly participate in the war. The third is that Illya, as the Lesser Holy Grail, participates in the war as the Master... But with Compared with the parallel world, this is already a relatively normal Holy Grail War, at least there is no existence of the Second Small Holy Grail and the Eighth Heroic Spirit.
"You all came here to join in the fun?" Qiye led Medea to the top of the building with swift and strange movements, where Lauda and others were having a barbecue.
Feiton handed over a skewer and chuckled: "Even if you become a boundary breaker, it doesn't mean that life will always remain interesting. It would be a pity to miss out on fun like the Holy Grail War."
"You can't pretend you didn't hear this..." As a Caster from the Fifth Holy Grail War in the parallel world, Medea's mood was a bit subtle.
"Well, not being able to witness the Holy Grail War in your world is already a big regret~" Feton said with a playful smile, but immediately changed the subject so that Medea had no chance to use the topic, "Speaking of which, the smell of blood does not come from What happened to Qiye, are you still capable of snatching a head from his hands?"
Dia next to her asked, "Is it possible that this is the blood of the stupid ancestors and the others?"
"..." Although it is true that Medea was at odds with Arquette, Hier, Tono Akiha, Emerald, Kohaku and others, she still felt uncomfortable being teased, so she could only answer with a bad face. , "Caster here has withdrawn, so as not to affect the Holy Grail War."
Whether it is like Medea breaking away from the shackles of the Holy Grail system, or even having her soul wiped out, it is an abnormal situation. It is the standard form for the soul to return to the Great Holy Grail after the Servant is defeated.
Liz said solemnly: "Are you so intolerant of yourself in the parallel world?"
Medea brushed her hair, puffed out her chest and said, "To put it simply, that's it."
"..." The other party was so confident that Liz didn't know what to say.
"I can understand your thinking, but..." Feiton looked at Medea with strange eyes, "Isn't the best way to deal with it, is to interfere with the summoning ceremony of heroic spirits and let other heroic spirits become Casters?"
"Ah..." Medea's eyes widened and she lost the ability to speak for a moment.
Even though she was the infamous "witch of betrayal", killing herself with the same appearance and background would still be a heavy mental burden.
"Many evil deeds stem from insufficient thinking, ignoring options that everyone is happy with, and taking actions that benefit oneself at the expense of others - when Shirou comes back, use this to educate him." Feiton nodded.
"Hmph!" Medea, who was a negative example, could only help grill the skewers angrily.
Qiye took a bite of the skewers and said vaguely: "So, where is our hero?"
Feiton said casually: "He's patrolling around. Before the Masters commit any actual evil deeds, he wants to confirm whether there are external forces intervening in the Holy Grail War."
The evidence is Matou Shinji, a good-for-nothing suddenly became arrogant, and there are problems no matter how he thinks about it.
Qiye laughed and said, "What a hard-working lifestyle~"
"Well, although I really want to agree with your point of view, it's better than your lifestyle." Feiton took a sip of Coke and sighed, "It's really hard to understand how the Aksha records allow 'direct death of the holder of the Demonic Eye' How can such a lunatic survive~"
》》》》》》
Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura did not want to harm ordinary people, so they took a long leave the day after summoning Saber and Rider; Matou Shinji, for his own safety, did not even dare to stay at home, let alone school; Yi Riya was treated roughly by the Einzbern family and acted alone like a ghost; other Masters who also belonged to the Magic Association pursued their own goals in pursuit of the Source Vortex.
"Preventing ordinary people from knowing the existence of superpowers" is the basic consensus among magicians. The Holy Grail War is conducted in the form of "night encounters". The servants use their perception to find their opponents in Fuyuki City at night. It's not difficult... Of course, the premise is that both sides have the will to fight. If one side is determined to stay in the finals, it will be quite troublesome.
Under the rules of "Grand Melee", it is obvious that no one wants to use up all their cards in the early stage and let other enemies easily pick up the fruits of victory. Basically, they are trying to find ways to test the opponent's details on the premise of preserving themselves. Once you guess the enemy's origin, you can predict its abilities and treasures, and formulate corresponding tactics.
As the battle progressed, content involving strategies inevitably emerged. Matou Shinji used the reason that "the Tosaka sisters joined forces to join the war" to form an alliance with Bazett and Rani VIII, and then kidnapped the Tosaka sisters' good friend Mizu Ayako. , forcing them to go to the church that had set up a trap in advance.
"Matou Shinji, let Ayako go. This has nothing to do with her!" The Tohsaka sisters didn't know this was a trap, but they still stepped into it.
"No problem. Since you have gone to the appointment, I will let you go immediately." Shinji Matou showed a smile that he thought was beautiful, leaned down and grabbed Mizu Ayako's collar, and dragged her out from behind the lecture platform.
"Rin...Sakura..." Mizu Ayako, whose face was bruised and her nose was swollen, still retained consciousness. She managed to open her swollen eyelids to see the person clearly and called out weakly.
Matou Shinji let go of his hand and said with a hearty laugh: "I let her go. It's just that she didn't run away. It's not my fault, right? Hahaha~!"
"Sister, Ayako-senpai's feet!" Tohsaka Sakura exclaimed.
Finding that Mitsu Ayako's feet were abnormally bent, Tosaka Rin roared: "Matou Shinji, you inhuman bastard!"
Matou Shinji stopped his vulgar laughter and stepped on Mizu Ayako's face: "Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to use it to lure you out. She kept saying some unpleasant things, so I couldn't help but do it. Just teach her the principles of life."
"!!!" Tohsaka Rin suppressed her anger, and her remaining sense told her that this was not a good time to take action.
Matou Shinji retracted his foot and leaned down to grab Mizu Ayako's hair: "Now tell me, who is the waste——"
"——Be careful!" Robin Hood and Cú Chulainn, who were standing on both sides, noticed something at the same time, but only Robin Hood came to the rescue. Cú Chulainn, who could not see what Kiri Shinji was doing before his eyes, did not take any action.
(Bang!) A bullet was shot from the open door of the church and hit Shinji Matou's upper right arm. The huge impact broke the arm.
If Robin Hood hadn't taken action, this bullet would have broken off more than just the arm.
"My hand! My hand!" Matou Shinji was still wailing on the ground, but Robin Hood ignored his injury, picked it up, and jumped back using the wall as a leverage point.
(Bang!) The second bullet missed.
Cu Chulainn shouted: "You hidden rat! Do you dare to report your rank?"
He responded with two more bullets, but these two bullets were a little different. They were aimed at the floor next to Mizu Ayako, and they spewed out white smoke after landing.
(Buzz) A dozen small metal balls flew in from the gate and moved irregularly in the empty church hall.
Cu Chulainn raised his gun on guard and said, "Hey, Bazett! What the hell is this? It doesn't look like the abilities of Caster and Berserker!"
"Even if you ask me..." Bazett and his servants protected each other back to back.
"This shape... can't you tell!" The only person in the room who guessed the correct answer was Matou Shinji. "Hurry and blast them! This is a floating cannon!"
