The bowstring had been stretched to its limit, emitting a mournful sound as if it were about to snap.
The tip of the arrow was aimed at the giant shadow in the eye of the storm.
"...Go."
The air was filled with magic, and the rain and sand rose up as if they had lost their weight.
*scream*
The air blasts layered out, their tails flashing brilliantly and hissing.
The treasure, launched from the bow, spun and pierced through the air, even evaporating the rainwater instantly.
The spiraling sword, trailing a deep blue tail, shot through the towering buildings in the darkness like a shooting star illuminating the night sky, hurtling towards the sea monster's body that was slowly moving forward in the seawater.
In that instant, almost everyone in Fuyuki City witnessed the blue meteor streaking across the city.
……
A storm swept through, and thunderclouds gathered.
Kenneth braved the torrential rain and arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
Although the Holy Grail War was not taken seriously by Kenneth El-Melloi, the head of the family.
The so-called Holy Grail was nothing more than a prize won by the victor to him.
However, necessary caution is still required.
No matter how proud he is, it's directed at his enemies who are also magicians.
The power of Servants is something that magicians cannot contend with.
Kenneth, who summoned Berserker, was already keenly aware of this.
"Let's set up the 'Disperse Bystanders' magic trick first."
Fearing that unrelated ordinary people might intrude, Kenneth wasted a little time setting up a barrier to dispel it.
As a magician specializing in "color positions," Kenneth was already intimately familiar with this universal magic trick.
In just a few minutes, the barrier was set up.
"Perfect timing to try out this magic prop for observation."
As Kenneth spoke, he took out a device that looked roughly the same as a telescope.
Although it looks no different from a telescope, its internal and external structures are completely different.
Not only does it have a field of view far exceeding that of ordinary telescopes, but it also employs various magic tricks to "see through" disguises.
As Kenneth began to observe, his Servant—a Berserker whose body and face were shrouded in a dark shadow—was watching for potential enemies from behind.
With this servant protecting him, Kenneth was able to remain so composed.
After all, Berserker's base stats are generally considered to be the highest in the Holy Grail War!
Summoning this Servant was, in a way, a complete accident.
After his student Waver Velvet stole the artifact he used to summon the King of Conquerors, Kenneth actually had a spare artifact.
The hero it summons is Diarmuid, the chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights, who is known as the 'Radiant One' from Celtic mythology.
But to Kenneth's surprise, the summoning failed.
Kenneth had no choice but to ask others to find other relics.
Thanks to his status as Lord El-Melloi, he collected several relics in just one week.
After careful selection, Kenneth chose a "fragment of the round table" as the relic.
In the legends of King Arthur, the Round Table is the symbol of the Kingdom of Camelot and the place where the Knights of the Round Table swore their allegiance.
And this round table was the dowry that Queen Guinevere, King Arthur's wife.
There were only two people who were closest to Guinevere.
King Arthur and Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake.
Although they ultimately failed to summon King Arthur.
But at least the strongest Knights of the Round Table were summoned.
With the added bonuses from the Berserker class, he is practically invincible in direct combat.
Kenneth was already convinced that he had the victory in his grasp.
Next, he will use overwhelming power to crush those Masters entrenched on this small island nation, demonstrating his strength as Lord El-Melloi...
"……Um?"
Kenneth's thoughts came to an abrupt halt with the sight he observed through the magic props.
Near the port, along the Weiyuan River, a massive storm that had been brewing for a long time finally revealed its true form.
Emerging from the storm was a colossal shadow that blotted out the sky.
Monster... no, it should be called a monster!
Standing at least tens of meters tall, its enormous tentacles crush human creations like tofu.
It almost makes you wonder if you've stumbled onto a Godzilla movie set.
"Is this... the power of a Servant?"
Kenneth was somewhat shocked to witness such a scene for the first time.
That must have been the work of the Noble Phantasm, right?
Otherwise, how could such a terrifying monster be summoned?
And that's not all.
As Kenneth moved the telescope's viewpoint, he saw even more of the world.
Amidst the lightning-streaked dark clouds, a radiant ship is speeding through.
Finally, it hovered in mid-air not far from the sea monster.
Seated high on the throne of the Radiant Ship, a blond youth clad in golden armor scrutinized the sea monster with the air of a superior.
Beside the blond youth stood a tall, muscular priest, dressed like a servant.
"It has a 'mount'... Could it be a Rider-class Servant?"
Kenneth guessed.
"Hmm? It seems there's still..."
Kenneth stared intently at the telescope.
Closer to the Sea Demon, a chariot pulled by a thunder bull with hooves treading on lightning was speeding along.
On the chariot, the burly man holding the reins suddenly stood up, startling the trembling boy beside him.
"Weber Velvet...?"
Kenneth was even stunned for a moment when he saw that face.
"You little brat, you stole my artifact and even summoned a Servant... I really underestimated you before."
Kenneth's face, like a teacher catching a student who has done something wrong, showed a hint of anger.
"What a pity, Weber."
"A mortal like you should have a peaceful life that belongs only to mortals."
"You just had to stubbornly intervene in this battlefield... It seems it's time for you to experience my coaching style."
Kenneth was already planning how to punish this dishonest student.
Swish
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky and landed in the burly man's hand.
The gleaming silver sword was suddenly swung down by the burly man.
Space tore open for a moment, then vanished along with the sea monster, the chariot, and the panicked boy.
"Could that have been...?"
Even Kenneth couldn't help but gasp.
"...A Reality Marble!?"
The great magic that rewrites reality using the artist's mental landscape—"Reality Marble".
This magic trick, being the closest to "magic," has been listed in the Mage's Association's Forbidden Spells Index.
All magicians who master this skill will be designated as "Sealed".
However, Kenneth had never heard of any modern magician who could master such a grand magic trick.
Chapter Sixty-Four: The Fantasy Collapses!
For Kenneth, the fact that Servants could use Reality Marbles was not unexpected.
