White silk gently wiped the back of his hand, where several bright red Command Spells lay quietly. Kayneth stepped out of the church gate, and outside, a purple-haired loli wearing a white slip dress was waiting quietly for him.
Kayneth knew that this was the new Servant arranged for him by the demon after he agreed to the contract. He was very satisfied with this arrangement. As long as he could recover and stand up again, what did it matter if he was at the mercy of a demon and sold his soul to it?
Assassin, perhaps this is the Class most suitable for a magus to command. The Three Knight Classes? Hmph, what use are those with ulterior motives?
The loli Assassin was also the true main body of the Nineteenth Hassan-i-Sabbah, "Hundred Personas." However, due to various reasons, this main body could not speak. Ridiculously, her Master, Kirei Mapo, didn't know about this.
Heroic Spirits aren't all fools, especially characters like Hassan who are assassins. To them, no one except themselves can be trusted. Before a Master fully gains their approval, they won't truly reveal all their trump cards.
Heroic Spirits like Artoria, who strictly adhere to chivalry and have extremely high loyalty, are a rarity among Heroic Spirits.
The reason every Heroic Spirit became a Heroic Spirit is that if they hadn't been wary, they would have died long before becoming heroes.
Because Kirei Mapo had used all his Command Spells in the Einzbern castle earlier.
So on the day Meruem met her, the loli Assassin was in a rare state of freedom.
And now her master had become Kayneth. Of course, before Kayneth gained her approval, she would only obey him and wouldn't truly risk her life for him.
But this was enough for Kayneth. Unlike his former Servant LANCER, who appeared obedient but didn't follow orders well, he preferred this kind of Heroic Spirit.
At least, the other party executed the orders he gave very well. At least, she wouldn't make him waste unnecessary Command Spells.
The ability of the Nineteenth Hassan-i-Sabbah is called "Hundred Personas," but those are actually just personalities split from Assassin's main body. As long as the main body isn't destroyed, she can continue to split off new personalities. However, the upper limit is only one hundred, meaning she can summon only one hundred Assassins to serve Kayneth.
This is enough... The Holy Grail, I don't care about it anymore. Now I have only one goal: to take revenge on those who humiliated me.
You will pay the price for this!
Kayneth disappeared with Assassin in front of the Fuyuki City church. Everything returned to calm. Not long after, a doubtful Kirei Mapo appeared in front of the church.
He hoped to get answers from his father.
On this day, two MASTERS participating in the Holy Grail War changed.
Maybe for better, maybe for worse... but the outcome of this Holy Grail War became increasingly confusing.
Three days later, all the Masters received shocking news. CASTER, who had been hiding in the shadows, made his move. He set up a powerful magic circle in the most prosperous area of Fuyuki City and launched a brutal massacre. Countless civilians fell in pools of blood. The astonishing stench of blood produced by blood, fear, and resentment, openly affecting the world of ordinary people without concealment.
An unusual mana appeared within that magic circle, reaching an astonishing level.
No one knew exactly what CASTER was trying to do, but intuition told them they absolutely had to stop him.
All the Masters spontaneously organized themselves and headed towards CASTER's location.
"That is quite a powerful summoning ritual... What is that old guy Zouken Matou planning to summon?" From the highest point in the clouds, Meruem looked down at the earth and said coldly. "Anyway, this old guy finally showed his fox tail."
"There's a good show to watch."
The first to arrive at the edge of the barrier were the husband-and-wife duo, the Conqueror King and Waver. Looking at the barrier visible to the naked eye, Waver revealed a rare serious expression.
He had never seen this barrier before... but the mana was so strong. Then Waver grabbed a handful of soil from the edge, took out a test tube from somewhere, and put a little bit in.
As he shook the test tube continuously, the originally transparent water turned pitch black. Waver's eyes became increasingly solemn.
"Kid... did you find anything?" The Conqueror King wasn't a magus to begin with. Although summoned as a Heroic Spirit, he wasn't good at these strange abilities. Of course, if you asked him for tactical guidance, he could talk to you all day.
"Unknown origin, ominous black mana. Never seen it before..." Waver answered the Conqueror King, but his eyes remained tightly fixed on the test tube in his hand.
"Ah, although I don't understand these things... I can smell the stench of blood that feels almost substantial from here. What exactly did that guy CASTER do!" The Conqueror King frowned as he spoke, drawing his sword from his side. As an emperor who fought his way out of battlefields, he was all too familiar with the smell inside the barrier.
"Kid... let me ask you one more time, do you want to go in with this king? Inside... it's very dangerous, possibly beyond your imagination. Even if you choose to stay here, I won't blame you." For the Conqueror King to say such things, one could imagine the tragic state inside the barrier.
"No need! Don't forget, I am your MASTER, Iskandar, the Conqueror King!" Such a firm tone coming from Waver felt strange.
"Hahaha, alright then, let us fight side by side." The Conqueror King patted Waver's shoulder vigorously and laughed heartily.
"Conqueror King, I didn't expect to meet you here." With the heavy sound of metal, Artoria, clad in armor, walked out from the street corner behind the Conqueror King.
Following her was Artoria's proxy Master, Irisviel.
"So it's the little girl King of Knights. Didn't expect you to come too." The Conqueror King waved his hand as a greeting.
"I heard about it. Your MASTER used a very despicable method to attack KING's MASTER. As expected, your MASTER didn't come out? Or is he still hiding in the shadows?"
The Conqueror King said without concealing his disgust.
