I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

That is why Artoria is confused.

She only felt uneasy when she was summoned to the past. She didn't know what she was doing. She was supposed to be pursuing the Holy Grail, but... why was she never in the Holy Grail War?

She was thinking, she didn't understand why this was happening.

Even that lowly king Vortigern had someone summon him, so why didn't anyone summon her?

......

"There are currently eight remaining. Two for the Black side, five for the Red side, and the Saintess who is the Ruler."

Inside the Great Temple.

Ramses II laughed and said, "This is unacceptable! The black guys have already lost five players so quickly! This is truly unpleasant!"

What he wanted to see was that he would be the only one left on this side.

Meanwhile, the enemy side had all seven Servants.

In that case, he could put on a show of taking on seven opponents single-handedly, letting them truly witness what a pharaoh is all about!

But... he's not really interested in fighting like this right now.

What? This is it now...

It was practically a crushing defeat. How could he possibly shine with the brilliance of a god-king like this?

Its brilliance shines only when the enemy is strong.

Otherwise, it's just a game of make-believe for the weak.

"However... I guess I've got this power now."

He was the Pharaoh and also had some authority over the underworld, though only within this pyramid. That's why he attracted DIO's soul and stole his power.

but...

This power is only sufficient for use within this temple, and there are other limitations as well.

There's still a gap between being truly all-around.

But even so—he got it.

I have obtained this power.

All he needs now is... a formidable opponent! Until then, he won't do anything.

"I am the Pharaoh! Supreme! Come—show your brilliance before the Almighty King, ha ha... ha ...

.....

Cairo.

Now, the moment of the final battle is drawing near, and finally... it's time to hunt!

Chapter 268 The First Target

After eating breakfast and looking at the scenery outside, Kurokawa Kazuya sighed, "That's about it..."

Now the Magic Association only has two rivals left.

He, and Lancer.

The church also has Archer...

Based on the previous attitude of the Holy Church, Kurokawa Kazuya had already roughly guessed what was going on.

The Holy Church won't take any action against him... It's simple, even though the Holy Church and the Magic Association are nominally working together.

But Siegfried has now left the scene.

The only remaining Servant is Gilgamesh.

With the Magic Association still having Osmanthus, the Pharaoh, it can hardly be considered an advantage.

so...

They won't lay a hand on themselves; let Alucard do the killing.

Kill them one by one!

Kill all the Servants of the Mage's Association one by one, and finally let Gilgamesh end it all.

And... Kurokawa Kazuya thought so too!

However, this only applies to the beginning; the rest is different.

Next, the Mage's Association will definitely make a move against him. Rather than waiting here, it's better to take the initiative and kill those Servants one by one, dragging them into the River of Death.

Akado is no longer alone.

In his dead river was also that lowly king, Voodoo.

If the two are combined... one by one, and with his immortality, he can kill those Servants one by one!

Kill them without mercy!

"Although it's still early... let's get ready to move." Looking at the sun, which hadn't yet reached noon, it wasn't even twelve o'clock. But...

"Understood, My Master—"

"So... let's begin, let's begin the hunt, the hunt for those Mage's Association Servants, the time to take the initiative has come—!"

......

"This looks good!" Mordred exclaimed while eating a lamb skewer. "Hey, Master, those sweet potatoes over there look pretty good too."

"Hmm, Egyptian sweet potatoes are pretty good." Lion Robber Jie Li waved his hand: "Go buy two."

"Oh." Mordred nodded, quickly finished the lamb skewers in his hand, and bought two sweet potatoes. "By the way, Master, what are you planning to do after this Holy Grail War ends?"

"As for me... I should probably just continue with my current work. Just keep doing what I'm supposed to do..." Shishikai Kairi said, taking a bite of sweet potato. "Even if we win this Holy Grail War, there won't be any benefits, and the wishes won't be ours..."

"Yes... I wonder if there will be a next time." Mordred paused slightly, her tone somewhat somber. Even with her rebellious nature, she could see that Barthelon's wish—to continue the Great Source—was something that could not be disrupted by any reason.

The magician's goal is to reach the Root before the world is destroyed.

We will not give up, not even for a moment, until then.

However... if it is clear that we are still a little short of reaching the source with the current time... but if we can extend the Great Source, this time will emerge.

The likelihood of reaching the root cause will greatly increase.

Even if it's just an increase from one in a billion to one point one in a billion.

Magicians will spare no effort, and this Holy Grail War is based on that very point.

"There will be next time." Shishikage Kairi waved the Command Seal in his hand and said, "Reward, reward, this is the reward for me participating in the Holy Grail War in place of Einzbern this time. As long as the Great Source is successfully continued this time, I will still be chosen as the Master in the next Holy Grail War. Well... if you have any wishes, you can try to fulfill them then."

"Ah... Master's wish..."

"What is your wish? Is it still the same as before?" Shishi Jie Li asked his Servant.

"Since I can't get my wish this time anyway, I'll try again next time... Honestly, I don't even have the desire to fight with all my might in this Holy Grail War. But, it's not bad to take a walk like this."

Mordred stopped speaking abruptly and looked behind him.

"Did you feel it, Master..."

"Ah, it's the location, the Servant... Now there should only be two enemies left... Lacner's Alucard, and Archer's Gilgamesh." Shishikage Kairi nodded: "Then, that should be clear, right?"

“That’s right… there’s only one possibility left… it’s that Akado!” Mordred said, finishing all the food in her hand. “Well, to be honest, I really don’t want to fight that guy, it’s pointless… if we don’t release the River of Dead, there’s not even a way to kill him. But…”

"Since they've come, we can't just leave them waiting, right?"

“That’s right, exactly!” Saber Mordred laughed. “Then, I’ll go! Master—!”

boom--

The next moment, Mordred leaped high into the air and charged towards Alucard.

"Ahhhhhh!"

The surrounding crowd was in a state of panic.

Shiki Jie Li lit a cigarette and glanced around: "Well... you should come out now, right? Lacner's Master."

"Oh, can you feel me?"

Kurokawa Kazuya slowly walked out.

Amidst the chaotic crowd, the two stood facing each other.

Lion's Roar Realm's expression turned slightly serious... Just last night, Berserker was killed. It was a Berserker that none of them knew existed before.

The humble king Futigeng.

By that Lancer.

This shattered their previous impression that Lancer wasn't very strong except for his immortality.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that he does not unleash his Noble Phantasm.

but...

Even so, Saber still charged forward. The reason was... that she couldn't fulfill her wish here, and another reason was probably that she wasn't going to back down anymore.

but...

"Is he here to kill me?" Shiki Jie Li secretly touched the gun in his hand, ready to make a move at any moment, although he didn't know how Shiki Jie Li used that divine descent-like move.

Are there any similar methods? But the fact that he was able to take down DIO shows he's really strong...

We might lose.

He might even die...

"No, I have no intention of attacking you." Kurokawa Kazuya shook his head. "I just don't want you to go to the Mage's Association to call for reinforcements. I have no intention of killing you, nor do I want to fight here. How about we sit down quietly, have some tea, and wait for the battle over there to end?"

Do you think I would agree?

“That’s true…” Kurokawa Kazuya smiled. “So… we have no choice but to fight?”

"That's right—"
