I'm really not a top magician

The stench of putrefaction and water vapor filled the air, green and dark like the deep sea. This is the insect warehouse hidden deep underground in the Matou mansion that stands on the hill of a deep mountain town.

"That's good. Just add two other spells in the middle of this spell."

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Kariya who was asking questions with a puzzled expression, Zouken smiled sinisterly.

"Isn't this simple? Kariya, your ability as a magus is far inferior to that of other Masters, as you know. This will affect the basic abilities of a Servant."

"In that case, the only way to compensate for this is through the Servant's class. We must fundamentally improve our parameters."

"The Servant's class is determined in advance by adjusting the summoning spell."

"Normally, the class of a summoned Heroic Spirit as a Servant is inevitably determined by its own attributes. However, there are exceptions, and there are two classes that can be determined in advance by the summoner."

"One is the Assassin. Heroic Spirits belonging to this class can be pre-determined to be a group of assassins who inherit the name of Hassan Sabha."

"Then the other class is for all Heroic Spirits. You can make it happen by adding other elements."

"So this time, let's add the attribute of madness to the summoned Servant."

As if welcoming the destructive implications of this, Zōken declared with a beaming face,

"Kariya, as the Master of Berserker, please fight well for me."

On that day, in different lands, the chanting of incantations for different objects was performed almost at the same time. This was such a coincidence that it could no longer be called a coincidence.

No matter which magician they are, their long-cherished wish is the same.

Around a miracle, in order to obtain this miracle, people bloodyly kill each other. Their calls to the heroes on the other side of time and space are now ringing across the land at the same time.

"Declaration!"

This moment is the moment when oneself as a magician is tested. If you fail, you will also lose your life. Weber felt this firsthand, but he was not afraid at all.

A passion for power. An unwavering will to pursue his goals. Judging by these traits, Waver Velvet is undoubtedly an exceptional magus.

"Declaration!"

"You are my subordinate, and I entrust my fate to your sword."

"Follow the call of the Holy Grail. If it is in accordance with this will and the laws of nature, you will answer immediately."

The feeling of magic surrounding your whole body. A magician cannot escape the chills and pain caused by the circulatory movement of magic circuits in the body.

Weber gritted his teeth and endured while continuing to chant the spell.

"I swear here,"

“I am the one who does good in the world and I will eliminate all the evil in the world.”

Kiritsugu's vision darkened.

The magic seals passed down through generations of the Emiya family were engraved on their backs, and they began chanting spells individually to assist Kiritsugu's magic.

Kiritsugu's heart, in a dimension separated from his own will, began to beat rapidly, like a running bell.

His body, ravaged by the air masses formed by the atmosphere, has now forgotten its function as a human being and has become a part of a mysterious ritual, completely transformed into a circuit connecting the spiritual body and the physical body.

Kiritsugu ignored the pain that made him want to scream out loud due to this pressure and concentrated on chanting the spell.

Even the existence of Irisviel, who was guarding beside him with bated breath, was no longer in his consciousness.

Forbidden foreign objects were added to the summoning spell, and Kariya added two spells to deprive the summoned Heroic Spirit of its rationality, demoting it to the level of a Berserker.

"It makes your eyes dark and your heart violent."

"Prisoner of the cage of madness. I am the master of these chains."

Kariya is different from ordinary magi. His magic circuits are formed by other creatures parasitizing his body.

The burden of stimulating it and activating it was a pain unmatched by any other magus. His limbs convulsed as he chanted the spell, and his capillaries burst, oozing blood.

Bloody tears flowed from the remaining intact right eye, dripping down his cheek.

Even so, Kariya did not relax.

If you think about the mission you shoulder, you can't back down here.

"The spirit of words that entangle you three, comes from the wheel of restraint, guardian of the scales!"

With these words as the end of his prayer, Tokiomi felt that the magic power flowing in his body had accelerated to the limit.

Lightning thundered, and the wind and clouds rolled. Under the pressure of the wind that prevented Kirei and the others who were guarding him from opening their eyes, the summoned pattern shone brightly.

Finally, the circuit in the magic circle was connected to the place in the otherworld. From the dazzling light that continued to overflow, a golden standing figure appeared. Being overwhelmed by the majesty, Father Risei could not help but uttered a selfless muttering.

"We win, Kirei. This battle is our victory!"

In this way, their long-cherished wish finally reached them.

Coming from the other side, coming here, whirlwind and lightning wrap around the legendary phantom.

Originally human, they have transcended the realm of humanity. Elevated to the rank of spirit through inhuman divine power, these extraordinary primates gather from the throne of suppressed divine power. Heroic spirits, woven from the dreams of countless people, descend upon the earth simultaneously.

then,

Looking at the berserkers descending from the spirit world,

Matou Kariya first locked his target on Sajo Aika,

He must rescue Sakura from her as soon as possible!

ps: Sorry, I posted the wrong chapter yesterday, I’m very sorry.

Chapter 157 Isn’t there a fourteen-year-old loli?

"According to the confirmation from the Holy Church, all the Servants have arrived last night. As soon as the other Masters arrive in Fuyuki City, the Holy Grail War will officially begin."

Aige Shatiao will briefly summarize last night's report to everyone.

Lisa nodded seriously, looking very serious. Sajo Aika was very satisfied with this.

However, the way Artoria was chewing on a bun and nodding from time to time made Aika Sajo feel very unreliable.

However, this kind of scene has long been accustomed to Sajo Aika, so she will not complain too much.

"The purpose of today's meeting is to explain to you the truth about the Holy Grail War and our plans."

Said, Sajo Aika turned to look at Lisa,

"Lisa, remember I said last time that this Holy Grail War is real. Do you know what our purpose is in participating in this Holy Grail War?"

"I came here to stop the Holy Grail War," Lisa said.

"Then why organize the Holy Grail War?"

"I do not know about this."

Lisa shook her head.

Before this, Aika Sajo had only revealed to everyone that she wanted to stop the Holy Grail War, but she did not explain the reason in detail.

As a time traveler, Aika Sajo is of course very clear about the details of this Holy Grail War.

However, in order to make it easier to tell others, she still explained it in the name of investigation:

"According to my research, this Holy Grail War is a subtle trap that will gradually accelerate the countdown to the Cataclysm as the servants are defeated and leave."

"And when the number of servants summoned here reaches a certain number of sacrifices, [All the Evil in This World] will be activated."

Sajo Aika explained.

"[All the evil in this world]? What is this?"

Lisa asked.

"You don't need to understand its true nature; just imagine it as something like a bomb capable of destroying the Earth. [All Evil in This World] is powerful enough to destroy human history."

Said Shatiao Aige.

Lisa couldn't believe it. How could someone design something that could destroy the world?

"Why set such an outrageous trap? Who on earth did this?"

Lisa couldn't help but ask.

"Because this was not the original purpose of the ritual. The Holy Grail could indeed grant the wishes of others, but it was corrupted due to some absurd human disaster. And now, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, if the Holy Grail really descends, the world will be over."

"According to my research, the Greater Holy Grail here in Fuyuki was completed by absorbing Servants defeated in battle as living sacrifices."

"And what appeared after it was completed wasn't a wish-granting machine, but rather [All the Evil in This World] Angra Mainyu. Therefore, there was no winner in this Holy Grail War from the very beginning."

Sajo Aika explained.

Hearing this, Artoria finally swallowed the bun in her mouth, drank a sip of water, and continued with Sajo Aika's topic:

"This is outrageous. Even at the cost of killing other magi, the reward is something completely different than I imagined... This is outrageous..."

Sajo Aika nodded in agreement with Altria's statement. "Indeed, if someone truly completed the Holy Grail, they would surely fall into the abyss of evil out of despair."

Speaking of this, Sajo Aika thought of Emiya Kiritsugu,

That man might have felt the same despair when he learned the truth about the Holy Grail.

Sajo Aika shook her head again, stopping any unnecessary associations, and continued her explanation:

"According to my research, the Greater Holy Grail is limited to being activated only after five of the seven Servants are defeated."

"This in turn means that as long as we ensure that at least three Servants are alive and away from the battle line, the ritual will be in vain and the Holy Grail will not be completed."

"And the Demon Pillar's goal is to complete the Greater Holy Grail and thus destroy the world."

Aika Sajo explained to everyone the whole story of the Holy Grail War in great detail.

"So our battle is not to defeat other Servants, but to protect them."

Lisa said, “I think it would be great if we could resolve the issue safely.”

Sajo Aika nodded. "Well, it would be great if it could be properly resolved. But that doesn't mean pacifism alone can solve the problem."

"According to my research on the relics of other servants, some servants are completely untouchable and may even cause greater panic. Therefore, when we encounter these servants, we need to deal with them properly, or even defeat them!"

Aika Sajo took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the seven classes of this Holy Grail War on it. However, what surprised Lisa was that Aika Sajo even found out the real names of these servants.

This was a bit beyond her expectation.

Because in the Holy Grail War, the Servant's real name often represents his Noble Phantasm and strength, and even various weaknesses.

Therefore, in today's battles that increasingly focus on intelligence, the true names of servants are what all Holy Grail War contestants must conceal. But unexpectedly, Aika Sajo was able to investigate them all.

This is simply amazing!

First is Archer

"Archer's true name is Gilgamesh, the oldest king in human history from Mesopotamia. He is arrogant, yet powerful. It's no exaggeration to say that if Gilgamesh had taken it seriously, the Holy Grail War would have ended in less than a day. But this is precisely his weakness. You could also consider it the carelessness that comes from his arrogance."

"Gilgamesh, due to his personality, is likely to become a formidable enemy in this Holy Grail War. To defeat him, we may need the combined strength of several Servants. Berserker's abilities are somewhat restraining to Archer. However, we'll discuss Berserker later."

And assassin.

"Assassin's identity is a group of assassins who inherited the name of Hassan Sabha. Assassin is a little special. His master Kotomine Kirei and Archer's Tousaka Tokiomi are allies."

"As long as we're Archer's enemy, we can't avoid being their enemy. Anyway, we should have been Tōsaka Tokiomi's number one target by now."

Aika Shajo scratched her head helplessly.

Next up is the berserker.

Sajo Aige accidentally glanced at Altria.

"His identity is Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table. Because he is in a state of berserker mode, the specific situation can only be determined by the Master. In other words, as long as you control the Master, you can control this Berserker."

"But after all, it's a berserker. There's always the possibility of it ignoring the Master's consciousness and losing control, so it's not a safe bet."

"It depends on the specific situation before making plans."

Sajo Aika pointed her finger at the caster.

Noticing the puzzled look on Lisa's face, Sajo Aika explained:

"Because Artoria herself was summoned illegally, to a certain extent, she did not occupy the position quota for this Greater Holy Grail. The caster of this Holy Grail War is someone else."

"His real name is Gilles de Rais. He was a despicable alchemist in the later period of history. Moreover, his master is also the recently famous killer in Fuyuki, Ryunosuke Amayū."

"In this Holy Grail War, no matter how the situation develops, this Caster pair is hopeless."
