Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America can cause a tornado in Texas, USA.

Everything in the world is interconnected in an invisible way, as if entangled by countless transparent threads, where a single movement affects everything.

Since Kazama replaced Ryunosuke Uryu and Paracelsus replaced Bluebeard, it means that the butterfly effect from the outside world has begun, and the original plot is bound to change in some aspects.

Of course, such changes will have inertia and will require a certain amount of time to develop and change.

At least, everything that happened in this port area still happened, and even the participants, except for Kazama and Paracelsus, were exactly the same.

"If all you want is to win and get the Holy Grail, that's simple enough."

As Kazama walked among the shipping containers, he thought to himself.

Archer, Lancer, Saber, Rider, Berserker, Assassin—this is a rare occasion where all the Heroic Spirits gather.

Only with advance preparation can a powerful enough anti-army Noble Phantasm completely wipe out the Servant, along with several troublesome Masters and this port area.

Even Gilgamesh could be killed if he was unprepared.

"But that would be pointless."

The tainted Holy Grail and the honor of being the victor in the Holy Grail War rituals are of no use to Kazama.

"let me see..."

"Hmm, so you're hiding in this place?"

With his fingers calculating the divination using the Six Ren Divine Scripture, Kazama walked straight towards a certain place.

From the outside, Kazama is not visible.

Similar to the invisibility effect of the cards in Clow Cards, this is the function of the white robe that Kazama is currently wearing.

A Mystic Code made by Paracelsus himself. Normally, the production of such a Mystic Code would be quite complicated and time-consuming, but for Paracelsus, who has already grasped the transformation of matter and whose item-making skills have reached the EX level, it is a piece of work that can be done with ease.

This white robe was also specially commissioned by Kazama from Paracelsus.

After all, Heroic Spirits appear in the open, while Masters are mostly hidden in the shadows.

The most outrageous was that Kiritsugu Emiya and his assistant had occupied a high position that allowed them to observe the entire port area, with guns set up and ready to assassinate their Masters who came into view at any time.

In addition, not only Kiritsugu Emiya, but also the real sixth brother, Assassin, who faked his death and escaped, was secretly observing from somewhere.

Given this treatment, it's incredibly lucky that Matou Kariya managed to hide here without being discovered.

But he clearly couldn't hide it from Kazama, who was intent on finding him.

In the dark corner, Kazama quickly detected traces of magic.

Even before seeing Matou Kariya, Kazama knew it was him from that violent surge of magical energy.

Ultimately, Kariya Matou is not a true magician; his current magical aptitude was forcibly implanted through external means. While Kariya can borrow the power of these external objects, he clearly cannot fully control them.

In Kazama's mind, the report from Paracelsus on the front lines of the battlefield also surfaced.

"The Berserker has appeared."

Kazama nodded silently and stood there quietly waiting. Only after Paracelsus reported again that Archer had retreated did Kazama walk toward the corner where Matou Kariya was hiding.

This magical costume with an invisibility effect simply distorts light and shadow to achieve a physical concealment.

Other aspects, such as smell, sound, and magical fluctuations, cannot be concealed.

When Kazama entered the range of the Crest Insects spread by Matou Kariya, he naturally noticed something amiss.

Of course, at this point, Kazama didn't bother to hide it and proactively deactivated the effect of his Mystic Code.

..........

Looking at the man in front of him, Matou Kariya frowned.

The man is undoubtedly a magician, and all the magicians currently in Fuyuki City are undoubtedly involved in the Holy Grail War rituals.

When the other person pulled back their hood, revealing a scarlet tattoo on the back of their hand, Matou Kariya, having already confirmed their identity, had already taken action.

Countless ferocious flying insects with sharp shells flew out from Matou Kariya's body and pounced on Kazama.

Kazama remained motionless, but among the five gems on his wrist—red, blue, yellow, and white—the red one began to shine.

The hazy consciousness residing within obeyed Kazama's command, setting all the flying insects in front of it ablaze.

"I don't want to fight you here, nor do I want to make too much of a commotion."

"After all, there are still a few 'owlers' here who are ready to make their move at any time."

"Furthermore, you only gained the ability to cast spells through Zouken Matou's Crest Worms. After just expending most of your magic power to control Berserker, do you still have the strength to fight me?"

"Of course, you can also recall Berserker and have the Servant deal with me, a mere ordinary human..."

Kariya Matou listened silently to the uninvited guest's words. Just as the other party said, after launching the attack with the Winged Blade Insect, Kariya Matou immediately recalled the Berserker.

Although his mind is twisted by hatred, Matou Kariya still retains a certain degree of rationality when it comes to things other than hatred.

Given his own poor condition and uncertainty about the strength of this unfamiliar Master who was his competitor, sending his Servant to provide support was the best option.

"But... can you recall Berserker now?"

As Kazama finished speaking, Matou Kariya's expression changed.

Just as Kazama said, Berserker did not respond to his call, but instead intensified its draining of his magic and life force.

Rampage.

The Berserker class gains immense combat power through Berserk mode, but at the cost of its sanity.

For the Master, this is also the most difficult Servant to control.

'Why now of all times...' Matou Kariya couldn't help but think to himself.

"I bet... you're thinking right now, why did the Berserker have to go berserk at this particular time?"

Kazama's words made Matou Kariya suddenly raise his head.

"Berserker's rampage is to be expected, Matou Kariya."

Looking at Matou Kariya, Kazama spoke softly.

"Just as you encountered Tokiomi Tohsaka, Berserker also encountered a being with whom he had a cause and effect, an inexplicable entanglement."

Chapter 115 Make a Choice

"You do not know the true name of the Berserker you have summoned."

"What an incompetent Master... But then again, you didn't participate in this war for the so-called glory of the three starter families, or for the so-called wish-granting machine that can grant all wishes."

While outwardly listening to the words of the unfamiliar Master before him, Matou Kariya was inwardly trying to pull back the reins binding Berserker.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Once a wild horse breaks free, how easy is it to bring it back under control?

As Matou Kariya struggled to reclaim his Berserker, Kazama's words still echoed in this dark corner.

"This Servant was not summoned through the use of relics. Because your old bug was originally planning to give up on this Holy Grail War, he didn't even bother to prepare any relics."

"This Servant descended because he heard the hatred in your heart. After casting the Berserk spell, the Servant was completely blinded by regret. Two people who throw themselves into the vortex of hatred, as long as they agree on revenge, that's enough. The so-called bond between master and servant is meaningless."

"But I can tell you your Berserker's real name—"

"Lancelot. Known as the most powerful knight of the Knights of the Round Table."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this name, even Matou Kariya couldn't help but raise his head to look at Kazama.

Legend has it that this knight had a feud with King Arthur. Indeed, if Berserker is Lancelot, it wouldn't be surprising if Berserker went berserk when the King of Knights appeared in the world as Saber.

Indeed, Berserker has now set his sights on Saber.

Seeing Matou Kariya's reaction, Kazama shook his head.

"I don't know what it was about you that attracted this knight, perhaps it was the last vestige of humanity that remained to protect you."

"Or perhaps it's a similar sense of regret that Lancelot harbored."

"Or perhaps he knows that the lord he owes has also come to this modern world, and wants to make up for his guilt."

"In short, you are very lucky to have summoned such a powerful Servant. Although this Servant has been completely corrupted due to the Berserk Spell."

"As Lancelot's Master, Kariya Matou, you are different from your Servants."

Kazama paused, then continued:

"At least Lancelot was a true hero, but what are you, Kariya Matou?"

"An ordinary person who was forced into a difficult situation and overestimated his abilities."

"Despite being so weak, they possess ideals that are inconsistent with their status."

"This Holy Grail War was not something you were supposed to participate in, but you insisted on joining it regardless of the consequences. You barely managed to gain the qualification by sacrificing your life and enduring pain, but can your wisdom and abilities truly lead to victory in this Holy Grail War?"

"Although I really dislike that golden guy, he was right about one thing... An arrogant life is one that doesn't know how much potential one has and has lofty ambitions."

"Matou Kariya, you're just an arrogant person who overestimates his own abilities..."

"You bastard!"

Kariya Matou roared loudly, the other party's blatant contempt piercing the deepest scar in his heart.

The more someone lacks something, the more they want to prove it; Matou Kariya is no exception. His hatred for Tohsaka Tokiomi, while not necessarily stemming from inner resentment, was more a desire to prove himself to Tohsaka Aoi.

Kariya Matou felt a surge of anger, which made him raise his right hand.

"Want to use a Command Spell?"

Kazama shook his head.

"This is indeed a good method. Even a Berserker going berserk can be forcibly summoned back by Command Seals."

"Then Berserker will tear this nasty guy to shreds."

"But is it really worth it to use this Command Seal for my sake?"

"As someone from the Matou family, you should understand how magical Command Seals are. They can not only be used to enforce commands, but also be transformed into magical energy to enhance the abilities of Heroic Spirits."

"But there are only three of these."
