I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Oh, so that's Archer's Noble Phantasm, right? It's really spectacular," Rider exclaimed in surprise from his own Noble Phantasm, Kamui Chariot.

"Tsk! Damn it..." Kenneth said with a grim expression, "What on earth happened?! So many people have witnessed the Holy Grail War, this is an absolute blunder!"

"Hmm? What, will this have any impact?" The Conqueror asked casually. In fact, this situation was exactly what he had expected.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help that unknown person hide during the last time at Ryudou Temple.

"Of course, that makes it much more difficult to cover up this incident."

"Hmm... is it just difficult?" the Conqueror asked.

"That's not entirely true... Some of the mystery will definitely be revealed because of this incident, but... no, never mind... hurry up and get on. Rider, put me down and then activate your Reality Marble! Although it may be too late now, we still need to hide it as much as possible."

"Hahaha—I know, I know! Okay then—Alalalalaal—"

Berserker, who had just recovered from being killed by the explosion once again, heard the Conqueror's roar.

As if in response, he roared back.

"Roar----"

Zouken Matou's face was grim...

That one strike just now reduced the flesh and blood of so many people that he had just devoured to zero once again.

He almost... he almost faced death again.

Although he hid the brain worm.

However, once all the magic power is used up, the brain worm becomes completely useless, just an ordinary worm that can be trampled to death by someone at any time.

Although...

This time, he simply placed his brain worm directly into the black mud.

However... even so, if they fail, it won't be possible to resume operations in a short time, and by then... Berserker, who has already died six times, might just be killed.

This is a terrible situation!

For now, I should stay away... and hide quietly, otherwise I won't be able to withstand the aftershocks of the next battle amidst so many heroic spirits.

"Go to sleep!" Just then, Zouken Matou's expression changed, and a hand silently landed on his shoulder!

"Varied--?"

"Go to sleep!"

"Hypnosis? Hehehe—this kind of hypnosis doesn't work on me!" Zouken Matou said, and started turning into insects from his head, trying to fly away.

However—it seemed as if all the insects were stuck together by something!

"What...?" Zouken Matou's expression changed. The hand that was resting on his shoulder was only half-finished!

The remaining half seemed to transform into countless threads, connecting with the various worms within his body.

There's no escaping it!

Ruined!

Zouken Matou, now back in human form, looked grim. If this continued... his current body might be destroyed, and by the time he fully recovered, Berserker might already be dead!

"Sleep! Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep!"

"Hmm...he's asleep." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction, looking at the "sleeping" Matou Zouken, confirming that he wasn't faking it. His Stand, "Death God 13," had indeed detected him!

Death Note 13, this Stand, although it's a dream Stand, doesn't require the user to be asleep to use it; it can be used even when the user is awake.

For example, the baby in the comic pulled the main characters into a dream while he was awake, intending to kill them all.

He remained in this state, pulling Zouken Matou into his dream.

Although, I could destroy his body right here.

However, in doing so, only a single physical body would be destroyed.

If... I were to use my current Stand to attack... I might be able to kill him, and also that brain worm that's hiding somewhere!

Magicians aren't human...

The old bug is even less of a human being...

So... we can take action.

"Seriously, although I want to bring all these Masters into my dream to see how things are going, they don't sleep much, so there's nothing I can do... Besides, even my Stand has a distance limitation."

......

"What's going on here?" Zouken Matou felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he felt like he was in an amusement park.

Although he had never been to one, he still knew that "amusement parks" existed...

What's going on here? Why am I in an amusement park?

"Why am I in a place like this?" Zouken Matou stood up, picked up his cane, and his sinister eyes scanned his surroundings. "I remember I was captured by that Caster... If I hadn't used up all my Command Seals earlier, I could have called Berserker over!"

That's right, he had already used up all his Command Seals.

However, he was, after all, the creator of the Holy Grail Command Seal for Fuyuki City.

Even without Command Seals, there's a way to maintain the connection with Berserker. That Berserker is still one's Heroic Spirit.

There's no other way; only by consuming these Command Seals can Berserker be fully enhanced.

"Is this... some kind of ability of that Heroic Spirit?"

"That's right, this is your dream." Zouken Matou quickly snapped out of his daze and saw a figure with a comical face, holding a huge scythe... like a grim reaper!

"Are you Caster?"

"Alright, I don't need to explain anymore. Experience it for yourself—experience death!"

"Hehehe, although I don't know exactly what's going on, I'm not prepared to just sit here and do nothing—" Zouken Matou's words were cut short as he froze: "W-what's going on? I...can't use magic??"

"Oh, it seems that's how it is." The Stand Death God 13 spoke with a smile in his tone, and with his current face, it seemed as if he was always smiling.

"Previously, Kotomine Risei couldn't use baptismal incantations or anything... and now you can't use magic either. As expected... this Stand is very strong!"

*Pfft*

next moment.

—The huge scythe in his hand swung down towards Zouken Matou's head!

Chapter 134 The Invincible Conqueror

*Pfft*

Zouken Matou, lying on the ground beside Kazuya Kurokawa, had his head and neck severed. No insects or anything like that appeared; instead, blood gushed out like that of a human body.

Looking at the scene before him, Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction: "Now, the only regrettable thing is that we can't pull the Heroic Spirit into the dream world to experiment... Speaking of which, Attila should be a dream of her original body. I originally wanted to try to pull her in... But, is it because she is too far away from her original body? Or is it because she is actually awake, whether she is the original Attila the Titan or the current Heroic Spirit Attila?"

However, in a place he could not see, in the large hollow beneath Ryudong Temple.

An insect, covered in blood, twitched twice... and finally collapsed to the ground, exhausted, lifeless.

Matou Zouken — Death.

Unnoticed by anyone, this man, who had lived for hundreds of years and whose body had become twisted, died.

Even the corpses... were swallowed up by the surrounding black mud.

......

"This is really troublesome." Kiritsugu Emiya frowned as he watched the battle taking place at Ryudouji Temple through his binoculars.

Just look at the people who ran out of Ryudong Temple to know.

This matter has gradually begun to spread; now it remains to be seen what the Mage's Association's covert methods will do. It seems they've already started taking action...

Around Ryudong Temple, one barrier after another gradually appeared.

It has everything from soundproofing and crowd control to other functions.

However... the sudden closure of such a famous temple in Fuyuki City will surely provide various kinds of information for those who know about it.

"Archer, how is it?"

As he spoke, Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at the two Command Seals on the back of his hand.

He just used a Command Seal to save Archer, whose Spirit Origin was slightly damaged.

"Ah, it's alright." Archer appeared beside him and said, "It was a little unexpected. I thought my spirit origin would collapse, but it only suffered a slight damage. It seems the boost here is greater than I imagined."

"The so-called local advantage is something like this. For you, Rider, and Berserker, the further the battle goes, the more advantageous it becomes. First, the Noble Phantasms of other Servants will be revealed one after another, breaking the imbalance of information. Second... even now, your fame is constantly rising. If we wait until three to five years... and summon you again in this Fuyuki City, your strength should increase significantly."

“Yeah, right… Hmm? Berserker disappeared?” Archer paused, halfway through his sentence.

Berserker vanished in a flash of light under Lancer's attack.

"Was he... killed? No... wait, that guy should have been able to revive six times!"

Lancer Karna paused for a moment, then immediately looked around: "Spatial transfer? The Command Seal's coercion? No... no... that's... Zouken Matou is dead. Then... the Holy Grail? The Holy Grail used its own will to transfer Berserker?"

In an instant, Lancer made his judgment.

The Holy Grail...

No, or perhaps something inside the Holy Grail sensed danger...

The Masters who wanted to dismantle him... sensed danger. But the Command Seals had already been bestowed upon him... Command Seals that had been bestowed upon him years ago.

It's impossible to take it back.

But it didn't want to wait to die.

So, taking advantage of the moment when Zouken Matou is dead, they seized everything from him, including his connection with Berserker.

Although Command Seals no longer exist.

However, the Greater Grail also possesses its own magical power accumulated over decades, and... that Berserker had already been corrupted by Zouken Matou's black mud.

Therefore, the black mud forcibly transferred the Berserker.
