He is a dark magician named Sereneka.

"What do you mean by this, Ruler? Are you declaring Black the loser? But don't forget, Black still has me."

Seeing the relaxed and cheerful expressions of Shen Qiu and his group, and Fiore's seemingly relieved demeanor, Sereneka felt an unnamed fire burning fiercely within her.

What is this!

The Yggdrasilia clan was defeated and destroyed. Fiore and Corres were both orthodox magicians recognized by the Clock Tower. Although the Mugik clan had long since perished, they were once nobles. Even after the Holy Grail War ended, the Clock Tower would not do anything to them out of consideration for their reputation.

Although Roger is a member of the Yggdrasilia clan, he has no scandals. The entire Holy Grail War was spent learning how to make magic puppets from Caster.

But she was different. Before she joined the Yggdrasilia clan, she was a notorious dark magician who derived pleasure from torturing and killing others. She was already on the seal's kill list, which is why she joined the Yggdrasil clan to seek protection.

But now, with Danic killed and the Yggdrasil clan on the verge of extinction, Fiore and Corles don't care. They can simply apologize to the Clock Tower and go on with their lives. But what about her? Is she just going to wait to die?

How could she possibly accept this! You see, her biggest dream right now is to "live a wonderful life together with Astolfo" after the Holy Grail War ends.

Hahaha, a knight with a face more beautiful than a woman's, a body that can regenerate no matter how much you play with her—is there a more perfect victim for torture?!

“Miss Fiore, does it feel good to be a traitor? You damn bitch, if it weren’t for you, how could we…”

Sereneka's expression gradually began to distort and twist, and the words that came out of her mouth began to become vicious. She blamed it all on Fiore and Koles, who had betrayed Danic in this crucial battle.

“Ar.....cher...”

However, before she could finish her words filled with hatred, she was choked by the blood in her throat.

A pale yellow arrow pierced her chest mercilessly—it was Chiron's attack. An attack from a Heroic Spirit is something that, apart from a few magicians specializing in physical combat who can barely handle, ordinary humans and magicians are like fish on a chopping board.

It breaks when touched.

"Rider, why...."

Sereneka used all her strength to turn and look at Astolfo standing behind her, seemingly puzzled as to why he wasn't protecting her.

However, before Afu could speak, she felt darkness engulf her vision and then collapsed to the ground.

"Chiron, what happened to you...?"

Fiore stared blankly at the Great Sage who had acted so decisively. In her mind, he had always been a refined, gentle, and learned wise man, but she had never expected him to be so decisive and ruthless.

"I'm sorry, Master, for attacking without your permission, but there's no doubt that the other party is scum. Besides, we're enemies now, Rider. I don't think you'd mind killing your Master, would you?"

Chiron looked at Astolfo, whose legs had begun to dissipate into spiritual particles, and waited for his reply.

"Yoshi, of course it's okay. To be honest, my Master has always been a real headache for me. Now that you've taken care of him, Archer, it's exactly what I wanted. It's just a pity that I have to leave before I've had enough fun."

Astolfo readily replied that Sereneka had been trying to take over his body back in the castle. Because of their master-servant relationship, Astolfo was forced to make some concessions. Each time Sereneka failed to succeed, she would torture and kill several androids to vent her anger.

Both Siegfried and Chiron were already very unhappy with her behavior, so her death was a great relief.

"So, Rider, do you still want to stay in this world?"

Shen Qiu glanced at the knight who liked to wear women's clothing. Astolfo's Noble Phantasm was a rare fantasy type and he could fly, which was the key to his ability to defeat the Red Team.

"Hmm? Of course, the purple team's Rider, but is that really okay?"

“Of course, if you don’t mind, then let’s make a contract.” Shen Qiu smiled and extended his still-empty left hand, a gesture that left Fiore, Corles, and the others puzzled.

“Rider, you are Sevent, you can’t…”

"Ah, that, sorry, sorry! I forgot to mention before, I'm not actually Sevent, I'm Master, the Master of the Purple Lancer Karna. You can call me Shen Qiu, or Mr. Shen, or if you're not used to it, you can call me Rider."

"In short, a name is just a label; just use whatever you're comfortable with."

Shen Qiu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, realizing that Black Fang had been completely kept in the dark and tricked by him.

"It's not Sevent, it's Master!"

Shen Qiu's words caused a huge uproar in the hearts of Fiore, Correspondent, Roger, Chiron, and Astolfo. What a joke! This Japanese boy, who looks to be no more than seventeen years old, is actually human?

For a moment, everyone present, except for the original Purple Team companions and Jeanne d'Arc, fell silent. No, it wasn't silence, but rather that no one could react for a moment because the news was so bombshell.

"Hey... I mean, you wouldn't happen to be some god from the Age of Gods who changed their name and secretly survived until now, would you...?"

Just then, Koles weakly raised his hand and asked, "Apart from the demigods and half-gods of the Age of Gods, there seems to be no other answer to the question of who could possess such great power as a 'human.'"

"No."

Shen Qiu decisively shattered Kaules's fantasy, and couldn't help but marvel at the other party's extraordinary imagination, actually guessing that he was a god from the Age of Gods.

"Could it be... one of the True Ancestors?"

Fiore regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking. The name of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles was known to everyone in the mystical world. It was just that, apart from a few normal people, the rest of them were all "freaks" with all sorts of strange habits.

If the other party really is one of the ancestors who participated in the Holy Grail War out of mere curiosity, then what would happen if I revealed his identity...?

"...No, what are you all thinking?"

Shen Qiu looked at Fiore, who was already trembling, and was speechless. Finally, he cleared his throat helplessly.

"Ahem, this is the last time I'll introduce myself, so listen carefully."

"My name is Shen Qiu, I am seventeen years old, and I live in a small coastal city in Japan. I am unmarried and I work at a place called Big Egg Comprehensive Service Mall. My job is to help him collect all sorts of rare and wonderful treasures."

"I don't smoke, and I only drink in moderation. I often stay up all night. I like Japanese food, and the girl I like is preferably a few years older than me... Ahem, I'm getting off topic. My teacher is Scáthach. She is very strict but also very gentle."

"I am a magician and a warrior. Many of my combat skills and attack methods were learned from my teacher. She often said that I am exceptionally talented, but I myself feel that I am just average. I am participating in this Holy Grail War because of my work mission."

"That concludes my introduction."

At this point, Shen Qiu let out a long sigh of relief. This explanation should be detailed enough, right? If they still didn't believe it, then he really had no other choice.

However, when he looked at the crowd again, he found that everyone present was as still as statues, as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Any question?"

"No."

The group shook their heads. In fact, they didn't understand much of what Shen Qiu had just said, such as "Big Egg Comprehensive Service Mall" and why a modern person like him could become the master of the legendary Scáthach.

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka secretly made up her mind that once she got back, she would use all her connections to thoroughly investigate the background of this Shen Qiu!

"Yoshi, so from now on you'll be my Master. I'll have to take good care of you from now on, Shen Qiu!"

After the Fourth Holy Grail War, Shen Qiu once again made a contract with two Sevents at the same time. Astolfo's Griffin was the only Noble Phantasm besides the Hanging Gardens that could soar through the sky during this Holy Grail War.

This was also the key to Shen Qiu's victory over Amakusa Shiro.

"So, how do we defeat the Reds? They're a thousand meters above the ground..." Joan of Arc gazed worriedly at the sky, where the illusory Garden of the Sky was hidden among the clouds.

"If I were to use my Noble Phantasm, it wouldn't be impossible to go up, but that guy's magic cannon is just too powerful. We almost couldn't block it even when we used our Noble Phantasms together before. Luckily, you guys arrived in time at the critical moment."

Afu shrugged helplessly. Each cannon of the [Eleven Black Coffin] has the power of a C-rank anti-army Noble Phantasm. The simultaneous firing of eleven magic cannons is equivalent to eleven anti-army Noble Phantasms. Even Karna's Golden Armor would probably only be able to withstand it for a while.

"It's okay, I have a solution."

From the beginning to the end of the battle, he never saw Atalanta. Under his guidance, the cat-eared girl had opened her heart and decided to help the children in another way.

This was a spy she had planted next to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, but Atalanta's personal abilities were limited, and the Vanity Sky Garden was extremely sturdy; it was impossible for her to destroy it alone.

"Ruler."

At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly looked at Jeanne as if he had just thought of something. Amakusa Shirou should not have obtained the Command Seals of the other Masters yet.

In other words, in a short period of time, Amakusa Shiro did not directly control the abilities of Atalanta and the other Sevents, except for Semiramis.

"Ok?"

"Could you... use a Command Spell to make Crimson Caster immediately use her Noble Phantasm on Amakusa Shirou? If so, our chances of winning will increase significantly."

Upon realizing this, Shen Qiu's eyes immediately lit up. In the original story, the first thing Amakusa Shiro did before the final battle was to use a Command Spell to order Shakespeare not to use his Noble Phantasm on him.

There must be some hidden reason why he issued such a puzzling order.

Shen Qiu secretly observed Jeanne's expression. His suggestion just now was actually somewhat against the rules. After all, it was extremely insidious for Ruler to order other Sevents to do such a thing with his authority.

Just as he was bracing himself for Joan of Arc's rejection and starting to think of other ways, the girl readily agreed to his request.

"of course can."

"Ok?"

After hearing her words, Shen Qiu knew that it was definitely the right decision to let Karna help Joan of Arc on the first day. After all, she had been severely beaten by Achilles that day and almost had to leave the scene.

Even a saintess, after being so severely humiliated, would probably be unable to swallow her anger, so she agreed to Shen Qiu's request without hesitation.

"So, Astolfo, when you use your Noble Phantasm, how many people can it carry at most?"

After receiving Joan of Arc's permission, Shen Qiu turned his gaze to Afu.

"One...two...three, we can carry three people in total, and with you and me, we can bring one more person."

After Afu finished speaking, the Sevents present looked at each other in bewilderment. The danger of going up to the Sky Garden to fight a desperate battle with the Red Team was definitely very high.

"Let me go, Shen Qiu!"

Just then, Okita Souji decisively raised her right hand; she hadn't had enough of the fight yet!

"Alright, in that case, Astolfo, Souji, come with me to Vainglory's Sky Garden for a final battle against the Reds. Archer and Fiore, go help Lancer. I have a vague feeling that something is not quite right."
