Skadi, returning to infinity

Her eyes were full of curiosity, just like a truly innocent young girl.

He wasn't afraid at all when facing a dozen or so thugs.

"What do you think? Of course, I want you to know what it's like to be a man, haha."

The blond-haired guy who had been rejected by her earlier started to mock her, and the others laughed and echoed him.

“Oh, is that so…” Skadi smiled, then her senses spread out.

Nobody.

That's good.

There was no one else around; the only presence here was himself and the lingering scent of their presence.

As expected, there's no need to worry about anyone coming to the countryside now.

"That makes things easier."

Skadi raised her hand, and a dagger hovered in the air. She waved her hand, and the dagger flew out instantly.

"Ugh..." Before they could react, their necks were slashed by a dagger, and a bloody mark slowly appeared.

He clutched his neck and fell to the ground, unable to resist or speak.

"Leave some traces."

They used daggers stained with their blood to pierce the ground, drawing half of a strange magic circle.

Just like the peculiar inverted hexagram symbolizing the devil, Skadi seems to be intentionally drawing the attention of certain forces.

"Thank you for your efforts."

The scattered soul and all fragments of memory were erased, and Skadi left quietly after doing all this.

The deaths of these dozen or so people were not discovered until after 10 a.m. the next day.

Police arrived at the scene, cordoned off the area, and began investigating the situation.

The media followed suit and extensively reported on what had happened.

After all, more than a dozen people died at once, and their identities are still unclear, but the deaths of so many people will definitely cause a huge uproar in society.

fluctuation.

They also wanted to know exactly what had happened, and were eager to see if there were any other big news stories.

"This inverted six-pointed star..."

A piece of information was delivered to Kirei Kotomine from the Fuyuki City Church.

Upon seeing this intelligence, Kirei Kotomine's calm gaze suddenly sharpened.

"interesting."

"Father, is this a provocation from the devil?"

A white-haired, golden-eyed girl dressed in a nun's habit, who looked about eight or nine years old, appeared beside him.

Looking at the file icon on the desktop, she asked her father curiously.

"Karen, you don't need to worry about this for now, go and get some rest."

Kirei Kotomine glanced at his daughter, not wanting her to get involved in this matter.

"Okay." Karen bowed slightly and took a few steps back.

But then she seemed to remember something and stood there looking at Kirei Kotomine.

“Father, I sensed an aura in Fuyuki City that makes my soul tremble.”

"That's like a demon."

Her eyes were vacant, but she was unusually persistent about this matter.

"Karen, I told you, you don't need to worry about this."

Looking back at her, Kirei Kotomine's gaze was sharp.

"Yes, Father." The little girl lowered her head, said nothing more, and slowly backed away, hiding behind others.

Is this a provocation?

"A provocation before the Holy Grail War?"

Kirei Kotomine refocused his attention on the pattern.

He didn't care at all who the dead person was or what impact it would have.

He was just curious about who did it.

While he was still curious, the church sent a message, asking a magician to accompany him to the murder scene to investigate the truth.

"Go see it in person? It's getting more and more interesting."

Kirei Kotomine did not refuse. After tidying up for a while, he left the church with the people arranged by the church and took a car to the scene.

After Kirei Kotomine left, the church became even quieter.

Suddenly, a figure appeared like a ghost, and then the white-haired, golden-eyed little girl who had been hiding inside the church was taken away.

The whole process lasted less than three seconds, and no one knew what had happened.

"It doesn't have the aura of magic; it's not magic. Is he just a simple serial killer?"

There was no magical reaction at the scene, and no information was left on the ground.

The dozen or so bodies lay on the ground, each with only one wound on its body—a tiny cut on its neck.

With just one strike, they were all dead, without any other reaction.

"It doesn't look like something a magician would do; it looks more like something someone with exceptional killing skills would do here."

Have you identified them?

After searching for half an hour without finding anything and wanting to avoid being captured by the media, Kirei Kotomine and his group returned to their car.

Looking at the church magician, Kirei Kotomine asked a question.

"It has been determined that they are thugs who roam around the area."

"There's only one cause of death: a knife cut across the neck."

"Apart from that, there were no other wounds, nor was there any damage from magic."

This result coincided with his guess; all that remained was to await the autopsy. p6ny

Who on earth did this? Was their goal simply to attract attention?

"Attract attention."

Kirei Kotomine's gaze sharpened again at this thought.

He told the driver to speed up and get back to the church.

"Karen".

They reached a secret area behind the church, but the little girl who should have been there had vanished.

"Is the target Karen, or the church?"

Beneath that calm gaze lay a torrent of emotions.

Karen is his biological daughter. He brought her to Fuyuki City so that she could observe the next Holy Grail War more closely.

Now that he had been kidnapped, he became even more concerned about the person who kidnapped him.

What were their motives for kidnapping Karen, and why did they provoke the Church?

"Check if any magicians have recently come from other places."

Kirei Kotomine immediately mobilized the Church's resources; he needed to see for himself what this hidden magician, possessing such powerful killing skills, really was.

who is it.

Was his purpose in coming here for the Holy Grail War, or to stop it?

"I'm getting more and more curious about your purpose."

Standing by the window, looking at the street outside, Kirei Kotomine was filled with curiosity about the person who had provoked the church and himself.

Of course, the reason he wanted to find the other person was also to find his daughter.

That's a church supply; taking it away is tantamount to declaring war on the church.

Such an arrogant person makes a good opponent.

PS: Update 1/6

Chapter 8: Max out favorability, then you can take his place.

"We've found it. This is the list of magicians who have recently arrived in Fuyuki City."

Shortly after Kirei Kotomine mobilized the church's power, in the afternoon, a report filled with information about different people was placed on his desk.

As he flipped through the contents, Kirei Kotomine's gaze remained unchanged throughout.

He only stopped when he saw the girl named Skadi.

Skadi, eighteen years old, is a magician from the Clock Tower. She came to Fuyuki in pursuit of greater power and to glimpse the source of all things.

The city and Tokiomi Tohsaka made contact.

"Because Tokiomi Tohsaka's dedication to the Roots seemed to have moved her, she became Tokiomi Tohsaka's student and is currently residing in Tokiomi Tohsaka."

at home.

Two years ago, in order to participate in the Holy Grail War three years later, Kirei Kotomine complied with the church's arrangement and came to Tokiomi Tohsaka's house to learn magic.

I no longer need to stay at his house; I can help out at the church now.

Then a new person came and took his place.
