Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

She was just in the Einzbern Forest, thinking she was about to be hit by the "Sword of Excalibur".

But the next moment, she found herself suddenly transported to a room, escaping the danger of being attacked.

"This is my room."

Rin Tohsaka answered Irisviel's question. She jumped off Qin Chuan's arm and looked at him with some surprise.

"Berserker, you actually have the ability to teleport?"

There are many things you don't know.

Qin Chuan chuckled and ruffled Rin Tohsaka's hair—he had no idea what new abilities he would gain when he entered the next mission world, so how could Rin possibly know everything?

"..."

After learning that this was Rin Tohsaka's room, Irisviel was somewhat surprised, but quickly fell silent again.

Although she could understand Kiritsugu Emiya's thoughts and guessed that he was betting that Qin Chuan would protect her, the "Little Holy Grail".

However, Irisviel, as an artificial human, is actually very naive and somewhat sentimental, and still feels that Kiritsugu Emiya's behavior is somewhat hurtful.

After all, the situation is somewhat different from the original work. Irisviel and Kiritsugu Emiya did not have a marital relationship, so their feelings for each other were not as close as in the original work.

Rather than a marital relationship, it was more like a relationship where they mutually endorsed each other's ideals—under such circumstances, it was naturally difficult for her to accept Kiritsugu Emiya's choice.

"Alright, Irisviel, now it's time to make a choice: will you hand over Avalon yourself, or will Rin take it?"

Qin Chuan brought Irisviel to Rin Tohsaka's room not to escape, but to give Irisviel a quiet dream world so she could retrieve Avalon and hand it over to him.

After all, with Qin Chuan's strength, he could simply stand there and let the "Sword of Excalibur" attack hit him; if it even grazed his skin, he would consider it a loss.

If he hadn't been worried that Irisviel wouldn't be able to safely eliminate Avalon under Artoria's attack, he wouldn't have bothered to travel this far.

After getting Avalon from Irisviel, she plans to go back and kill Kiritsugu Emiya.

Since that guy let Artoria launch the attack, it means that even though Kiritsugu Emiya knew the difference in strength between the two sides, he did not intend to give up the Holy Grail War.

Since he had decided to be Qin Chuan's enemy, Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't spare his life.

"...I understand, I will retrieve Avalon for you."

After a long silence, Irisviel finally gave her answer—perhaps she was disappointed in Kiritsugu Emiya, and she no longer wanted to dwell on Avalon.

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Chuan and Rin Tohsaka, Irisviel gently placed her hands on her chest, and a golden light emanated from her hands.

The next moment, a magnificent scabbard slowly emerged from the golden light—this was King Arthur's conceptual weapon, "The Ideal Land of Seclusion."

"very good."

Seeing Irisviel's cooperation, Qin Chuan nodded, and the "Blackbird" behind him stepped forward and unceremoniously swallowed the ornate scabbard.

Instantly, a strange and powerful force surged into the Blackbird's body and also into Qin Chuan's body—he knew that this meant the Blackbird had acquired Avalon's defensive barrier and healing abilities.

Moreover, because it was swallowed directly, it was impossible for anyone to remove the Avalon sword sheath from his body.

Although Irisviel did not know how Qin Chuan had made Avalon disappear, she knew that Qin Chuan must have gotten what he wanted.

She sighed, her body went limp, and she collapsed onto Rin Tohsaka's bed, too weak to even sit up.

"Hey? Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka rushed forward and tried to help Irisviel up—but it was clear that a little girl like her was no match for Irisviel.

"She is the Lesser Grail prepared by the Einzbern family for this Holy Grail War, responsible for containing the souls of the heroic spirits who died in this war."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan explained to Rin Tohsaka.

"So every time a Heroic Spirit dies, her body will further transform into the Holy Grail, and she will lose her human functions... She was able to move just now entirely because Avalon was supporting her."

Avalon possesses powerful healing abilities, and it is thanks to Avalon that Irisviel, who has already housed the souls of four Heroic Spirits, has been able to maintain the mobility of a normal person.

Now that Avalon has been removed, Irisviel's physical functions have begun to decline rapidly, and she soon no longer even has the strength to sit up.

"I was mentally prepared for this when I arrived in Fuyuki City, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly..."

A bitter smile appeared on Irisviel's face. She hadn't expected that the Holy Grail War would already be almost halfway over when she arrived in Fuyuki City.

"There is such a thing..."

Rin Tohsaka was somewhat taken aback. Although she had learned some things about the Holy Grail War from Tokiomi Tohsaka, she didn't really know much more in detail.

So, was she destined to die in the end?

"Yes, Saber's Master just used a Command Spell to order Sab717er to attack us, betting that I would protect Irisviel, the little Holy Grail."

Qin Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile; he had remembered Kiritsugu Emiya's little scheme.

"After all, Irisviel is necessary for the Holy Grail to descend, and if I want to obtain the Holy Grail, I must protect her."

Unfortunately, Kiritsugu Emiya did not anticipate that Qin Chuan could teleport, and he had plenty of ways to protect Irisviel without directly taking the attack of "Excalibur".

He glanced down at Irisviel—she exuded a delicate aura, and her silver hair made her appear even more beautiful in the moonlight.

Unfortunately, this Holy Grail War was ultimately destined to end with her death, so Qin Chuan could only shake his head in regret.

"Rin, take good care of her, consider it as end-of-life care."

Rin Tohsaka hesitated for a moment, then nodded—she also felt some sympathy for this homunculus born only to die in the Holy Grail War:

"So, Berserker, are you planning to continue searching for Saber?"

"Of course, you don't think I brought Irisviel back to avoid the battle, do you?"

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Since they're prepared to be our enemies, they'll have to pay the price."

Chapter 152 Kiritsugu Emiya, Assassinated by His Own Heroic Spirit

"We need to find that Berserker right now, there's still a chance to rescue Alice!"

In the Einzbern Forest, Artoria held the Excalibur, which had already removed the Wind King's Barrier, and stared at Kiritsugu Emiya with anger on her face.

"She's been captured by the enemy, how can you just ignore it?!"

Just after Qin Chuan left with Irisviel, Artoria naturally wanted to find Qin Chuan's location as soon as possible to rescue them.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya rejected her proposal, instead saying that they should leave the Einzbern Forest as soon as possible and hide somewhere else.

This decision naturally enraged Artoria.

Kiritsugu Emiya had already enraged her by ordering her to attack Irisviel's direction, and now he was even considering abandoning Irisviel.

“Saber, that guy won’t let Irisviel die. Our priority right now isn’t to save her, but to figure out how to take down that powerful Heroic Spirit.”

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Artoria as if she were a fool blinded by chivalry, his brows furrowed and his expression one of great impatience.

“Your attack poses no real threat to him. We must now think about how to deal with him.”

"Let's rescue them first."

Artoria stared intently at Kiritsugu Emiya, her tone resolute.

Despite spending a long time with Irisviel in the Einzbern family, Kiritsugu Emiya's bond with her might actually be stronger than hers.

After all, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel were not the close husband and wife relationship depicted in the original work, and Kiritsugu Emiya was a ruthless person who was willing to abandon even his family for his ideals.

"Don't force me to use another Command Seal!"

When Kiritsugu Emiya saw Artoria obstructing him, he felt even more annoyed.

He had previously thought that King Arthur, as a heroic spirit, was extremely incompatible with him, but he never expected it to be this bad.

His rigid chivalry made Artoria's thought process incompatible with his, and Kiritsugu Emiya even considered using another Command Seal to control Artoria and make her leave.

However, this is to be expected, as Artoria is unaware that Irisviel is the Lesser Grail, the vessel for the Grail's descent.

Therefore, she couldn't understand Kiritsugu Emiya's statement that "Qin Chuan wouldn't kill Irisviel," and she didn't know why Kiritsugu Emiya could have such trust in an enemy.

"Oh? I thought you guys had already left. I didn't expect you to still be here?"

However, just as the two were facing off, Qin Chuan's voice suddenly rang out from the air, causing both of them to shudder and feel a chill run down their spines.

The two looked up and, sure enough, found that Qin Chuan had reappeared in the Einzbern Forest, floating above them and watching their argument with a smile.

"I had actually planted coordinates on you to find you... but this makes things easier."

"What did you say……?"

Artoria stared intently at Qin Chuan, who was floating in the air—but out of her sight, a small raven flew off the back of her neck and landed in Qin Chuan's hand.

That's right. Before teleporting away, Qin Chuan used the "Blackbird Lover" ability to release a raven and place it on Artoria.

Unlike other Heroic Spirits, Artoria cannot materialize into a spirit form, so as long as a substitute clone is placed on her as a coordinate, Qin Chuan can find her at any time.

Qin Chuan had expected that Artoria and Kiritsugu Emiya should have moved to a different location long ago, but he was surprised to find that they were still there when he arrived.

It's clear that the two had a disagreement about whether to save Irisviel, which is why they stayed in the same spot.

"Damn..."

Kiritsugu Emiya's expression darkened. He knew he should have left earlier, but Artoria had stopped him. As a magician, he naturally had no chance of breaking through the defense of a Heroic Spirit.

As a result, this delay lasted until Qin Chuan returned—and Qin Chuan did not have Irisviel and Rin Tohsaka with him, obviously they had hidden somewhere else.

Now, even if she wanted to use Irisviel to threaten Qin Chuan, she couldn't do it anymore.

Although it was cruel, Kiritsugu Emiya even had the thought, "If only I had planted a bomb on Irisviel as a threat."

If Artoria knew about this idea, she probably wouldn't be able to resist killing Kiritsugu Emiya first.

Kiritsugu Emiya knew very well that Artoria's attack would probably cause negligible damage to Qin Chuan, but he had no intention of surrendering.

He raised his hand, ready to use the Command Spell to give the order—but before he could utter a single syllable, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Snapped.

The severed hand fell to the ground, dripping with blood. The two Command Seals on the back of the hand shimmered with a blood-red light, as if telling the story of how they had almost been used.

"Ugh...!"

As expected of someone who had experienced the battlefield, Kiritsugu Emiya's wrist, which was adorned with Command Seals, was severed by Qin Chuan's Blackbird in an instant. However, he did not give up and instead reached into his clothes with his other hand.

He prepared to drop the smoke grenade and then flee—although he didn't know if the smoke grenade would work on Qin Chuan, it was the only thing he could do.

However, before he could finish his action, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"What……?"

Kiritsugu Emiya froze in place, looking up in disbelief at the scene before him.

With a look of terror on her face, Artoria gripped Excalibur with both hands and pierced her own chest.

"This...this isn't my intention, I can't control my body anymore!"

Yes, Artoria pierced Kiritsugu Emiya's chest with Excalibur, but that was not what she wanted to do.

Behind Qin Chuan, the "Blackbird" transformed into the pitch-black form of Artoria, mimicking her movements.

—The surface of the blackbird.

The Stand ability he obtained from Toshikazu Mada allows him to transform into the appearance of anyone he comes into contact with and forcibly control their actions.

Artoria's power is great, but it's nothing compared to Blackbird's power.

Blackbird made a thrusting motion with his sword, and Artoria's body uncontrollably performed the same action.

As a result, Artoria killed Kiritsugu Emiya with her own hands.

"Very good. As expected, as long as my Blackbird power is strong enough, the other party cannot resist the superficial control."

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction, confirming that the ability to control and the strength of this imitation ability were directly related.

Below, Kiritsugu Emiya stared intently at Artoria, seemingly wanting to say something, but then coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell silent.

Artoria stared blankly as her Master was stabbed to death, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Chapter 153 We really need to speedrun the Holy Grail War!

"The person is dead, but they're still watching."

Qin Chuan landed from the air, looked at Artoria kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile.

Artoria didn't reply, but just stared blankly at Kiritsugu Emiya, who had died in front of her—although Kiritsugu Emiya and she didn't agree on ideals, he was still her Master.
