I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Are you alright, Mr. Cursed Wrist?" Bedivere wanted to say something, but he felt dizzy and completely lost consciousness.

"Honestly, let these two rest for a bit."

As he spoke, Iskandar patted Fujimaru Ritsuka on the back, making him bow forward with each pat, until his whole body ached: "Hey, kid, didn't you say Chaldea sent Ryougi Kazuya over? Where are they?"

“Yes…we can’t contact him yet.” Mashu answered for Fujimaru Ritsuka: “Mr. Ryougi was attacked when he entered this singularity, and his current situation is…wait, it seems we can contact him now—”

drip-

"Looks like we've made contact. How's it going on your end?" Ryougi Kazuya asked Mash through the communicator. The communicator she wore on her wrist when she arrived in this world had indeed been destroyed by DIO, but—

I'm already very familiar with the parts inside. Having one on my wrist is just for show; if it breaks, I can just make another one.

Using his own cells and altering their atomic structure, he quickly rebuilt a communicator from the broken parts and re-established contact with Chaldea.

"Yes, we just rescued Bedivere and Mr. Cursed Wrist, and now we want to find the location of the temple."

“I see. I now know the location of the temple, or rather, its possible location.” Ryougi Kazumi nodded. “I’ll send it to you in a bit.”

"Really? That's wonderful..."

Mashu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "So, what's the situation with Mr. Ryougi?"

“Me…” Ryougi Kazumi said, “When I was in the sky, I saw that the King of Conquerors was there, so I felt that everything was fine and didn’t go over there. Instead, I came here… This is where the Lion King Artoria and Agraven are located. Artoria just woke up and is eating now. After resting for a while, I will take them to find you.”

“Miss Artoria?” Mash said with a smile, “Great, this adds another member to our fighting force.”

"No, it wasn't just her. When I was in the air, I also saw a familiar voice. It should be a partner, or... it could be an enemy. It was currently alone and should be injured. It gave the feeling that its spirit core was about to collapse but it was holding back."

"—!!"

“So this makes us allies,” Iskandar said. “If we were enemies, we wouldn’t act this way.”

"Oh, I'll send you his location as well."

"So, who is that person?"

"Archer-class Servant, the great hero Arash."

......

"No, I still have no clue..." Arash looked at the specks of light appearing on the back of his hand. "A whole day has passed..."

He himself was alright; according to Osmandis, he should be able to hold out for another six days. But he only had two days left. If he hadn't met Chaldea's Master within two days... no!

It needs to be done earlier.

After all, it will take some time to get there.

Now is not the time to rest, let's work harder.

Chapter 1238 Order of Succession

"Ha...it seems all the pieces are finally in place...heh heh..."

DIO fiddled with the chess pieces in front of him.

Before the golden 'world' chess piece.

It represents Lancer + an outsider representing Artoria, Assassin, Rider, and Saber representing Chaldea, and... Archer representing Arash.

And the same as the extras.

He made the chess piece himself, which symbolized the 'sun'.

I subconsciously touched the back of my neck, where the star-shaped marks were no longer visible.

This body is becoming more and more suitable for me, but—

"I never imagined that Osmandis would do such a thing to this body..."

If there's anything about this singularity that he completely failed to anticipate so far, it's that Arash is still alive, and that Othmands has done something to him.

If you are careless, it could very well become your 'real' defeat.

but...

Can't find it.

He couldn't find Osmandis's location for no apparent reason.

"That person must have left this body... Although it was because of this that I was able to control this body faster, it was still an astonishing move. To abandon such a physical body so easily, as if without the slightest regret, I see. So this is what is meant by being 'Heroic Spirits' that are etched into human history?"

"Or is he special?"

Compared to the former, DIO believes the latter is more likely!

After all, it was Osmandis, the god-king symbolizing the sun.

Like a symbol of himself, the mere existence of that person could cause him a burning pain.

"Arash and Othmandis must be killed!"

DIO took Archer's piece in his hand and crushed it: "Things outside my plans don't need to exist—but... the crucial point is, I don't have a place for Ottomandis right now..."

“Um... Lord Osmandis.”

Just then, the communication came through.

DIO once again began playing the role of Ottomandis: "What's wrong?"

“Yes…” Nitocris said somewhat embarrassedly on the other end of the communication, “I lost Archer; that archer got away.”

"—!"

What a useless person! They can't even handle something this simple!

"However, that Archer shouldn't live much longer. When he faced me, he felt like his spirit foundation was about to collapse!"

"Hmph, but even so you still let him escape, even though I already let you take the Sphinx with you!"

"Yes! Yes—I'm so sorry, Lord Osmandis!"

"..."

Would Osmandis speak like me? No, whatever—it doesn't matter anyway, I didn't plan to let that guy live for long, and it doesn't matter whether he's on my side or defected to the enemy!

No, wait.

DIO, who was about to continue scolding, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then laughed: "Haha...no, you're not wrong."

"Ugh?"

"I see, that's your judgment, isn't it? Letting him go is more valuable than killing him—"

"Huh? Hi?" Nitocris looked completely bewildered, not understanding what DIO was talking about.

“Well done, Nitocris. Now, just follow him. You don’t need to do anything. Just stay behind him quietly. No matter what happens, don’t interfere. Just send me messages…”

With that, DIO hung up the call, a smile playing on his lips: "Spirit Origin collapse, huh... In that case, Osmandis won't last much longer... He'll definitely go back. Archer will definitely go back to find Osmandis, and he should reunite with the Chaldea people before then..."

So, let's gather our forces before that happens.

Gather all the Servants currently under your command!

Saber: Gawain, Mordred, Lancelot.

Archer: Tristan, Tawara Tota.

Assassin: tranquil, serene.

Caster: Sanzang.

Everyone gathered in the pyramid-shaped temple to receive DIO's command.

"Then, Assassin will follow Nitocris and monitor Arash's actions from the other side."

"Yes--"

"Then... once you encounter another person similar to me, named Osmandis, you can make your move and kill Osmandis and Arash! At the same time, try to reduce the number of Chaldea's team members as much as possible. Hmm... Chaldea's Master should stay; his life is still useful."

"We don't care if you all give up your lives to complete this mission!"

"Yes, Lord DIO—"

As the Servants spoke, they vanished from the temple.

DIO smiled and sat back down once more.

There was no place for these Servants on the stage he had prepared, but... it would be a better thing for them to become his soldiers than his enemies, otherwise it would be such a waste.

"Although they are all precious Servants, time is almost up..."

It's time to turn everything upside down.

"So, those of you with clairvoyance watching this place, have you anticipated the strategy I, DIO, have prepared? Hahahahahaha————————"

"Hehe... Haha ...

......

"Strategy? What strategy?"

Goetia opened her eyes, sensing that something was amiss, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

All he could say was that if DIO couldn't handle it, he would become an even greater evil than the Seventh Singularity, more dangerous than the Beast. No, or rather, he was already a candidate for the Beast... It wouldn't be surprising if he became the Beast at any time!

He knew to some extent what DIO was thinking and did indeed feel the pressure.

But what other plans does he have up his sleeve?

"It seems I need to be more careful from now on. All he can see now is the past and the present. The future is a complete mystery, or even non-existent. He doesn't know what DIO is calculating either."

However, one thing is certain.

That must be an arrangement that no one would care about even if they saw it, and even if they did discover it, there would be no way to change it... That's probably why he's so arrogant.
