Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

Seeing her like this, Tohsaka Yu knew that she had understood what he meant.

"So, I want to ask you for your help to find him." Tohsaka Yu's voice grew gentler, with a hint of pleading. "Only you can do it. Because you are the warmest, you must be able to sense where... is getting 'cold'."

Tiamat Lily watched him quietly, her ruby-like eyes reflecting Tohsaka Yu's incredibly serious face.

After a long while, she nodded heavily.

“Aaa!”

This time, the voice was no longer the cheerful tone of a child's coquettishness, but a response filled with solemnity and determination.

With the most crucial assistance received, Tohsaka Yu felt much more at ease.

Instead of acting immediately, he patiently stayed with Tiamat, waiting for the most opportune moment to act.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a magnificent orange-red.

Yu Tohsaka glanced out the window, lost in thought.

The timing seems about right.

Nighttime is when magicians are most active, and it's also when the enemy lurking in the shadows is most likely to strike again.

Just as he was about to take Tiamat out, a slight noise came from the entrance hall—the sound of the door opening.

Yu Tohsaka looked up, thinking that Rin and Sakura had returned together.

However, only "Sakura Tohsaka" entered the living room.

She was still wearing her school's archery uniform, carrying her backpack, and her face showed just the right amount of fatigue, as if it were from practice.

"I'm back, brother," she said softly, putting her schoolbag aside.

Yu Tohsaka's gaze passed over her, landing on the empty doorway, his brow furrowing slightly involuntarily: "Sakura? Why are you alone? Where's Rin?"

"Sister?" Kama, disguised as Sakura Tohsaka, showed just the right amount of surprise and confusion on her face. "Isn't sister with you? She said she was going to come back first when the club activities ended. I thought she was already home."

Yu Tohsaka's heart skipped a beat; for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Rin came back first?

wrong.

He stayed at home after returning in the afternoon and didn't see Rin at all.

If Rin had returned first, it's impossible that she wouldn't have made any noise, much less that she wouldn't have said hello.

Could it be that...something happened?

"Brother?" Seeing Tohsaka Yu's expression turn serious instantly, Tohsaka Sakura looked worried and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to my sister?"

Yu Tohsaka did not answer immediately.

My brain is working at high speed.

At that moment, Tiamat Lily seemed to sense the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

She looked up and said in an incredibly clear and pleasant voice, "Don't worry... I'll help you find it."

In an instant, an invisible will belonging to the "Creator Goddess," transcending the dimension of magic, spread out from her center like a gentle yet unstoppable tide, instantly covering the entire Fuyuki City.

This time, with a clear goal in mind, she searched for that familiar life force belonging to "Rin Tohsaka" throughout the city's lifeline.

Just a few seconds later, Tiamat suddenly opened her eyes.

“Found it.” She looked up at Tohsaka Yu. “'Rin's' aura, I know where it is.”

Yu Tohsaka's heart leaped into her throat: "Where?!"

Tiamat didn't say anything, but simply stretched out her hands, gesturing for Tohsaka Yu to hug her.

"I'll show you the way."

Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Yu no longer hesitated. He immediately hugged Tiamat Lily and turned to leave the hall.

Before leaving, she turned back to look at her younger sister inside the house and said, "Sakura, wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"

……

The night was as still as water, and the cold moonlight shone on the quiet streets of Fuyuki City.

Aozaki Aoko walked alone on the sidewalk, her hands in her pockets, her face expressionless, but deep within her usually nonchalant eyes, a thoughtful light flickered.

In her mind, her conversation with the boy who called himself "Tohsaka Yu" was replaying uncontrollably earlier that day.

Although it is uncertain whether the commotion at the port at the time was related to him, there is no doubt that the other party lied.

Is it really him...?

The terrifying, unparalleled pressure emanating from the harbor last night, filled with the aura of primal life, was unmistakable.

That power even made her, a "magician," feel a sense of instinctive unease.

Aozaki Aoko felt a headache coming on.

Her trip to Fuyuki City was specifically to deal with the signs that "Beast" might appear in the world.

Beast, human evil, is a "cancer cell" that arises from human reason itself in order to filter out itself and ensure the survival of human civilization.

The existence of each Beast symbolizes a massive calamity capable of destroying current civilization. Their very appearance is the greatest threat to human reason.

One Beast is enough to trigger a massive disaster that could shake the very foundations of the world.

We have to think of a way...

Just as Aozaki Aoko's thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Subconsciously, I turned my head and looked in a certain direction at the magical aura of 'love' emanating from it.

A moment later, Aozaki Aoko's usually composed and pretty face was completely stunned for the first time.

Her beautiful brows were furrowed tightly, and her eyes, which always shone with confidence, were filled with an unbelievable and utterly absurd shock.

This tiny city... actually harbors more than one Beast?!

Volume 1: Chapter 100 Sesshouin's Temptation

Guided by Tiamat, Yu Tohsaka carried her as their figures sped through the deep night.

He was like a phantom blending into the darkness, with only one thought in his mind—to find Rin.

"It's getting closer..."

Tiamat pointed forcefully ahead with her small hand, "The aura of Rin is right there in that direction!"

Her directions were clear and specific, yet just one block before they reached their destination, Tiamat's face suddenly showed great confusion.

"Huh?" Her little head suddenly turned in another direction, her pure ruby ​​eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong?" Yu Tohsaka asked instinctively.

Tiamat looked towards a direction not far to her left with some confusion, her clear and pleasant tone carrying a hint of bewilderment.

"How could this be... there's 'Rin's' scent over there too?"

Yu Tohsaka paused for a moment, then looked in the direction Tiamat was pointing.

That was clearly a residential area on the other side of the city.

Two identical life auras belonging to Rin Tohsaka, like two sides of a mirror, appeared simultaneously in Tiamat's perception.

Did the enemy plan this in advance and therefore use some kind of deceptive magic tricks beforehand?

Or……

Countless thoughts flashed through Yu Tohsaka's mind in an instant, but he had no time to hesitate and had to make a decision immediately.

He looked at Tiamat and gave the order in as fast as he could, "Go and check another residential area. If you find Rin, let me know through our contract!"

“Aaa!”

Tiamat nodded emphatically, understanding the urgency of the situation.

Her petite figure instantly transformed into a streak of blue light, speeding towards the residential area and disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Yuzuru Tohsaka took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety, and walked quickly forward alone.

After passing through countless streets and residential buildings, a long-abandoned church soon appeared at the end of the road ahead.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a cold and ancient aura, mixed with dust and decaying wood, rushed out.

This is a Gothic church that has long been abandoned.

The cool moonlight shone through the broken stained glass windows of the dome, turning into mottled beams of light that slanted down, revealing clear trails for countless flying dust particles in the air.

On the high walls, the murals depicting the stories of saints have long since faded and become mottled. Rows of wooden benches covered with thick dust stand quietly in the silence, as if silently telling the story of the long-gone era of this place.

Yu Tohsaka's gaze was instantly drawn to the scene in the center of the main hall.

In the middle of those rows of benches, a young girl was lying quietly on one of them.

Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady and long, as if she had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

The soft moonlight shone on her beautiful face, making her delicate features, which always carried a hint of pride and stubbornness, appear incredibly gentle and serene.

Her signature pigtails hung quietly over the bench, making her look like a sleeping beauty who had wandered into the mortal world and was sleeping peacefully under the moon, pure and beautiful, so that one could not bear to disturb her.

Rin Tohsaka!

Yu Tohsaka's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked around. After confirming that there was no magical barrier, she immediately went to Rin Tohsaka's side.

Thank goodness... nothing serious, I was just asleep.

Just as Yu Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief, a clear and elegant "tap, tap" sound of high heels clicking on the stone floor came slowly from the shadows behind the door.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet and alluring voice, seemingly capable of bewitching the soul, lingered in the hall:

"You've finally arrived, Mr. Tohsaka Yu."

"I never imagined you were an adopted son of the Tohsaka family... You really kept it from me for a long time last time."

Yu Tohsaka slowly turned around.

In the shadows, a graceful figure was slowly walking towards him with elegant steps.

She was...a woman breathtakingly beautiful.

The sacred nun's habit should have brought a sense of solemnity and reverence, but on her, it exuded an indescribable, ultimate allure that blended holiness and depravity, thanks to her incredibly hot and almost bursting figure.

Her face still wore that compassionate smile, but compared to the past, her usually gentle eyes now held a look that was not there before... a look of greed and longing, as if she were gazing at a top-tier feast about to be served.

Sesshouin Kiara.

When Yu Tohsaka saw her, he was also somewhat surprised, but more than that, he felt an understanding that said, "Just as I expected."

After all... the only person he could think of besides the unknown Masters in the Holy Grail War who would use Rin Tohsaka as bait to lure him in this way was this woman in front of him, who was full of ominous and eerie aura and called herself "Saintess".

Seeing that Tohsaka Yu quickly calmed down after her initial shock, Sesshouin Kiara couldn't help but show a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Wow, wow, that's amazing!"

She stopped, a smile of satisfaction spreading across her face, as if she were praising an outstanding student. "To be able to calm yourself so quickly after confirming that your closest person has fallen into the hands of the enemy... I suppose you truly are someone I have high hopes for?"

"Mr. Tohsaka Yu, I'm growing to like your calmness and rationality more and more."

"Why did you do that?" Tohsaka Yu ignored her praise and just stared at her. "Rin should have nothing to do with this."

Upon hearing this, Sesshouin Kiara paused slightly, as if wondering why he would ask such a self-evident question.

Immediately, she covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, a smile so sweet that it could make any man in the world fall in love with her, but the words she spoke were full of undisguised, chilling malice.

"Of course... it's to 'eat' you, Mr. Tohsaka Yu."

As she spoke those words, she once again took elegant steps, slowly and deliberately walking towards Tohsaka Yu and the sleeping Tohsaka Rin beside him, her longing eyes scanning him unabashedly.

"Your soul, your magic, your special constitution connected to the 'Root'... all of these are irreplaceable, top-tier nutrients for me. If I can fully absorb you, I'm sure I can reach a completely new and unprecedented realm, right?"

However, before she could even get within three meters, a deep and powerful sound, like the heartbeat of a dragon awakening in ancient times, suddenly resounded in the silent church without warning!

Dong Dong Lu (One) (Seven <) ? Yi? (Two) ?~ Ba I#V Si Ba! !

That wasn't a sound coming from Tohsaka Yu's chest, but rather a roar of laws that seemed to resonate directly in the real world from a higher dimension, from the depths of his soul!

——White Dragon Furnace Core!
