"Eh? What, why are you doing it again!?"

Amid the girl's pitiful screams, the space was breached once again, teleporting her to another location.

A little girl with long black hair reaching her waist, dressed in Gothic Lolita fashion, appeared in the Tower of the End and let out a soft exclamation.

"Hmm? Something feels off about this teleportation."

After scanning the Tower of the End and finding nothing unusual, Alaya was certain that Merlin hadn't used illusion magic to try and deceive her. She then extended her senses to search for the thing she had just thrown into Fuyuki City.

"I see, so it's a case of substitution? But whether it's a man or a woman, at least someone will be there to work overtime for Yu Guaiguai."

Fuyuki City, deserted streets at night.

Clutching the large staff, Mary was almost in tears, looking around at the darkness and listening to the constant barking of dogs. She shrank back involuntarily.

"Where...where am I?"

Meanwhile, on the tower at the end of Avalon in another world, Merlin, who had just been transported there by a great spatial magic spell, stretched with a smile and saw the computer placed in front of him.

The interface on the computer screen was an idol website called 'Magical Girl Meryl-chan'. Merlin curiously fiddled with it for a bit and then discovered that the website was already open to the public.

"What am I doing in this world? It seems kind of interesting."

"Beep beep beep—"

A crisp electronic bell rang, and Merlin noticed an envelope-shaped icon flashing in the taskbar at the bottom of the website, so he moved the mouse and clicked on it.

He opened the letter and slowly read it word by word. It was an email from a fan to their idol expressing their love and respect.

Finally, Merlin saw the signature at the end of the email—Chaldea, Romani Archaman.

Chapter Ten: Sexy Hassan Embarrasses Himself Online

early morning.

Fuyuki City, a small third- or fourth-tier city in Japan, would normally be completely silent by now.

After all, there are no bustling commercial areas or much entertainment to enjoy, and the glitz and glamour of big city life is too far removed from the people of Fuyuki.

Working hard during the day and coming home at night to have sex with one's wife is the norm for most people in Dongmu.

It's boring, but also stable and simple.

However, this normalcy that had lasted for nearly sixty years was broken tonight. Although the number of active participants was still pitifully small compared to the general public, it could not be ignored.

The Holy Grail War will officially begin tomorrow, though it's an open secret, but the Servants and Masters participating in the war will obviously not sit idly by and wait before then.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and arson.

Under the natural cover of night, the Servants or Familiars hiding in the shadows were tirelessly carrying out their respective assassination or reconnaissance activities.

Especially for visiting magicians who have already arrived in Fuyuki City, there are two places they must be wary of.

Those are the two major local tyrants who have been stationed in Fuyuki City for many years, namely the Tohsaka family and the Matou family, two of the three main families.

Whether it's their familiarity with the battlefield or their knowledge of the Holy Grail War, these two families possess an advantage that is unimaginable to others.

Moreover, compared to other visiting Masters who are hiding in some unknown corner, those who openly display their bases like the Tohsaka and Matou families will obviously attract everyone's attention.

Therefore, recently, various low-level familiars have been frequently seen wandering around the two families' residences day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.

However, the amount of useful information obtained was pitifully small, but this did not discourage or dishearten the many Masters.

Both are people who are aware of participating in the Holy Grail War and aim for victory, so it is reasonable for the other party to take precautions in advance.

The Matou family still doesn't understand the defense mechanism, because no matter what kind of familiar it is, it will die inexplicably as soon as it gets close to that mansion, and no trace of it can be detected.

The situation was much clearer for the Tohsaka family.

The mansion was surrounded by a magical barrier, with gemstones at its core, designed for reconnaissance and defense. There were at least a dozen or twenty layers of this barrier, a display of extravagance that was simply dazzling.

If we were to use an analogy, the Tohsaka family's current state is like that of a fully armed fortress, with a defense level no less than that of a nation's treasury.

Even humans with only a little magic power cannot silently step into the barrier, let alone Servants whose bodies are simply constructed from 'ether'.

Therefore, whether it is a physical entity or a spirit, it is impossible to penetrate into this fortress-like barrier without being detected.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and there is nothing in the world that is invincible and cannot be solved.

Aside from brute force, only an Assassin with the 'Presence Concealment' skill could infiltrate the Tohsaka family's defenses without alerting anyone.

Although they lack strong combat abilities, Assassins can suppress their magical fluctuations and presence to almost zero, allowing them to approach their targets stealthily like unnoticed shadows.

In this Holy Grail War, the Servant with the Assassin class has Kirei Kotomine as their Master.

Upon receiving the order from his Master, Assassin felt that the assassination mission he was to carry out that night would be completely effortless.

Because what he is about to infiltrate is not the Matou family's residence.

Instead, it was the residence of Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had been an ally of his Master Kirei Kotomine until yesterday.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the mission is to infiltrate the Matou family and kill their Master who is participating in the battle.

In Assissin's view, this was merely an increase in difficulty, perhaps by a fingertip, due to his lack of understanding of the actual situation.

As Kirei Kotomine's Servant, Assassin was naturally aware that his Master and Tokiomi Tohsaka had secretly formed an alliance behind the backs of the other Masters.

Furthermore, in order to protect the secret pact between the Masters, Assassin has served as a guard and sentry at the Tohsaka residence on several occasions in the past few days.

Therefore, out of professional habit, he had long ago paid attention to the configuration and density of the barrier here, and he was also very familiar with the operating rules of the magic barrier and its blind spots.

While in his physical form, Assassin skillfully evaded the intricate barrier by twisting his body and performing various difficult maneuvers, all the while secretly mocking Tokiomi Tohsaka's tragic fate.

The elegant magician at that moment seemed to trust Kirei Kotomine implicitly, but he certainly couldn't have imagined that he would suddenly be betrayed and stabbed the day before the Holy Grail War was about to begin.

It's truly pathetic.

It had only been a few minutes before Kirei Kotomine ordered the Assassin to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Although it was still unclear why Kirei Kotomine suddenly felt murderous intent after standing on the hill and looking at the Tohsaka family for a few minutes, Assassin didn't care about the reason.

He was nothing more than a dagger to kill. As for who to kill or why to kill, such things were irrelevant. All he had to do was obey orders.

Of course, Assassin also had his own guesses. He thought it was related to the Archer-class Heroic Spirit summoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"There's no need to be overly cautious. Even if we might have to face Archer head-on, we shouldn't be afraid. We must take down Tokiomi Tohsaka as quickly as possible."

These are the exact words spoken by Kirei Kotomine.

Even Assassin, whose direct combat ability is the lowest, is 'not afraid' when facing him, which shows just how incompetent the Servants summoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka are.

This is probably the main reason why Kirei Kotomine suddenly felt murderous. Allies who are too weak are completely unnecessary, lest they become a hindrance.

Just then, Assassin arrived at the final barrier.

Once the last gem placed on the platform is destroyed, the Tohsaka family's carefully laid defenses will be completely breached, and they will be exposed like a naked girl, revealing everything that others want to know.

"Heh, utterly vulnerable."

Assassin sneered as he reached out his hand towards the final support point of the barrier.

But the instant his hand touched the barrier, a gleaming short spear shot out from directly above like a thunderbolt, piercing Assassin's hand and pinning it to the platform.

"Ugh, what... what is this?!"

Failing at the last moment before success plunged Assassin into a state of utter terror, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The intense pain caused him to let out a muffled groan.

Deeply surprised by the sudden attack of the dazzling gun, Assassin looked up with an incredulous expression, searching for the owner who had thrown the gun.

No, there's absolutely no need to look for it.

On the roof of the Tohsaka family's house, a golden figure, gleaming with dazzling light, stood there boldly.

It was a majestic presence that could even dim the stars and the moon in the sky, a radiant and dazzling majesty like that of a god.

Assassin had completely forgotten the pain of his wounds; all he felt now was fear of this overwhelming majesty.

"Who gave you permission to raise your head? You lowly ant crawling on the ground."

The golden figure looked down at the assassin lying on the ground with his sharp, scarlet eyes, his chin held high, displaying his unparalleled arrogance. Golden ripples rippled around him, and countless flashes of light appeared.

What appeared in the air were swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—countless kinds, yet none of them were the same, and each one radiated an epic, legendary brilliance.

"You have no right to look at me. Ants should just be like ants, simply bowing their heads and dying with their heads down on the ground."

If they cannot be defeated, there is no need to even fight.

Without even thinking, Assassin's intuition told him that the man in front of him was someone he could never defeat.

"Could this be the Servant with whom we have nothing to fear?"

Assassin carefully recalled the words Kirei Kotomine had once told him, and finally understood their true meaning before his death.

Faced with such an overwhelming enemy, fear is not even an adequate word to describe the situation; or rather, one would die before even having a chance to feel fear.

With a sound like the air being torn apart, countless gleaming blades buried Assassin completely, his skull mask shattered and scattered on the ground, and bright red blood splattered everywhere.

The familiars scattered all around faithfully relayed Assassin's final fate to their respective masters, leaving countless people speechless with shock and realizing the cruelty of the Holy Grail War.

It was only the early morning of the first day, and a Servant was killed before he even had a chance to make a move, and his figure shrouded in gold was imprinted in their hearts.

This battle, in which one side effortlessly slaughtered the other, demonstrated the Servant's immeasurable and domineering strength, while also deterring those who were hiding in the shadows and plotting against the Tohsaka family.

Tokiomi Tohsaka sat on the comfortable sofa in his room, listening to the roar of countless Noble Phantasms outside as they sliced ​​through skin and pierced the earth.

"Hmm, that's a good start..."

The golden figure swiftly executed the ungrateful intruder on the spot, then snorted coldly and returned to the house in spirit form.

Around Assassin's body, the sand and gravel that had been kicked up by the excessive attack were scattered and piled up, and the ground was full of craters, presenting a scene that was even more horrific than the explosion of landmines and bombs.

Unnoticed by the Master, Servant, and Familiar, a wisp of eerie blue ghostly fire vanished abruptly in the courtyard of the Tohsaka residence, accompanied by a barely perceptible sigh.

"The Old Man of a Hundred Faces?"

Then, the last remaining barrier of the Tohsaka family shattered into fragments silently in an instant for some unknown reason, but the person who did it had already left.

Chapter Eleven: The Worst Master-Servant Combination

The Tohsaka family home.

Gilgamesh materialized from his spirit form and appeared in the room. Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had been sitting just moments before, had risen and was now standing to the side, bowing slightly at a 30-degree angle in anticipation.

"Tokiomi, this is the only time. Don't bother me with these trivial matters anymore."
