The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Right.

Everything clicked.

But what about what Cu Chulainn said, "The human Master disappeared long ago"?

Ian felt extremely worried about this sentence.

"..."

Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with the man in front of him, Cu Chulainn spread his hands and threw his wand to the ground.

"Well, it seems that you are indeed not a Servant of the Holy Grail War."

"So--"

"How about we sit down and have a good chat?"

"..."

Cu Chulainn showed such sincerity that Ian naturally couldn't ignore it.

The Sword of Excalibur Galatine dissipated in his hand at an extremely fast speed.

"Then let's talk."

Cu Chulainn and Ian sat side by side in the ruins after the battle.

The two people who have witnessed each other's strength now have a mutual respect like rivals.

Cu Chulainn was the first to speak:

"You said you are not a Servant, but a Master?"

"It's 'Master Candidate'." Ian slightly corrected Cu Chulainn's statement.

"But it's okay to call me Master Yu."

"after all--"

"My Servant is not here."

"Ah."

Cu Chulainn raised an eyebrow.

"Then you are really outrageous."

"To be able to fight me like that with a human body - I guess your Servant must be very powerful too, right?"

"That's not the point."

Ian politely stopped Cu Chulainn's praise.

"I want to know, where is this place?"

"Fuyuki City," Cu Chulainn answered directly, "The Holy Grail War is held here every sixty years."

"That--"

Ian took a deep breath—the burnt smell echoed in his nostrils, which was a somewhat uncomfortable feeling.

"What do you mean by 'the human Master has long disappeared'?"

"literal meaning."

Cu Chulainn's eyes swept over the scene before him.

"Take a good look around you."

"..."

After Cu Chulainn said this, Ian began to pay attention to his surroundings.

Do not see do not know.

Ian, who had previously focused all his attention on the battle, only then realized the situation in Fuyuki City where he was.

There were ruins everywhere and the remaining fire was splattered everywhere.

Black smoke rose from the wreckage of buildings, silently telling the story of the city's disintegration.

In this situation, no one would doubt that it is hell on earth.

"Do you understand?" Cu Chulainn's voice sounded at the right time, "In this case, there is no such thing as a human master."

"..."

Ian could now understand Cu Chulainn's offensive behavior.

Because there is no such thing as a "human Master", facing himself who can freely control the replica of the Excalibur Galatine and the indestructible lake light (Aroundight), he subconsciously regards himself as a "Servant".

Just when Ian was about to ask why Fuyuki City was destroyed like this, a cry was heard from not far away.

"Help! Help!"

"Who can help me?"

Ian turned around and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and then saw an unexpected figure.

That was Olga Marie.

She was running forward with all her might, gasping for breath.

Behind her, a group of dark shadows wearing bone masks were chasing her with daggers.

There was a pop.

Olga Marie fell to the ground.

She looked at the dark shadows approaching her step by step in despair.

"Don't come over here!"

"Oh, it seems there are other humans." Cu Chulainn smiled self-deprecatingly.

"but--"

"It seems like I'm going to die."

"There's no way we're going to let the director die!"

After denying Cu Chulainn's words, Ian once again projected the Sword of Victory (Excalibur Galatine).

"Drink——!"

He pounced towards the dark shadows fearlessly.

"hiss……"

Cu Chulainn took up his wand.

"It looks like he's someone I know."

"I have to help now."

the other side.

Olga Marie was in despair.

She kept retreating on the ground like an earthworm, and whenever she caught something, she would throw it at the dark shadows in front of her.

But this kind of attack will naturally not produce any effect.

The black shadow raised the shining dagger high, then stabbed down with force.

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

Olga Marie raised her hands to shield her head - a pointless defense.

But the next moment.

She heard a clang.

That was the sound made when weapons collided.

Olga Marie opened her eyes.

Ian appeared in front of her holding a sword and blocked the dagger for her.

"Captain, you are not hurt!"

"Ian..."

Looking at the man in front of her, Olga Marie's eyes became a little moist.

"I'm fine."

"That's good." Ian breathed a sigh of relief. "We can talk later. Go hide somewhere safe first!"

"Hey, what about you?"

"I'll be fine, trust me!"

"..."

Although she felt that Ian's words were not convincing, Olga Marie knew that she had no choice but to trust him.

but--

When she turned around, she discovered something despairing.

There are many dark shadows approaching on the road behind!

They are similar but not identical, but both reveal a murderous intent.

Olga Marie panicked.

"Ian! There's something weird here too!"

"what?!"

Although he heard what Olga Marie said, Ian had no way to spare the time to help her.

Because these dark shadows in front of him were not simple—they exuded a magical power that was visible to the naked eye.

Ian realized that this might be the Assassin in the Holy Grail War.

Their individual capabilities are not that strong.

But now it seems that due to the overflowing magic of the Holy Grail, it has become a formidable enemy.

It's not that they can't be dealt with, but their numbers are so large that it's very troublesome.

"Damn it!"

Ian knocked away a dagger thrown by the black shadow.

“Why are there so many?”

But at this moment, a series of flames flew over.

"It's a hundred faces after all."

Cu Chulainn said this as if responding to Ian, and then eliminated the black shadows one after another under Olgamari's surprised gaze.

The blue-haired magus looked at the man who had also defeated the black shadow.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Ian."

"Oh... I am Cu Chulainn."

Cu Chulainn, who was exchanging what he had, turned away.

The fire just now attracted more dark shadows.

"Ian, let's have another game."

"Let's see who kills more of 'him'."

"...Okay." Ian looked at the shadow that appeared from another direction and tightened his grip on his weapon. "We didn't finish the fight anyway."

I don’t know how long it took.

As Ian pulled the sword he projected out from the last black shadow.
