A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1109 The beginning

············

"Assassin—killed?"

Disappointed by this oversimplified result, Weber Velvet opened his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze, which had been monitoring Tohsaka's residence until just now, and saw a familiar scene before his eyes again - the room on the second floor of the old couple's house where he was staying. What he saw in his eyelids just now was an image reflected through the vision of the mouse controlled by his familiar. This level of magic is also possible with Weber's talent.

In the prologue of the Holy Grail War, Waver chose to start by monitoring the Matou and Tohsaka families as the safest strategy. Although there is still the Einzbern family's villa in the mountains and forests on the outskirts, it seems that the Magician of the North has not yet come to Japan. Judging from the current situation, there is no need for special surveillance.

On the surface, neither of them has any special actions.\\nAt present, it seems that rather than taking the risk of storming their stronghold, it is better to continue to monitor and wait and see what happens.\\nBut what just happened is really shocking. He didn't expect it at all.

"Hey, Rider, there's some progress. One of the Servants has been killed."

But even if he called like this...\\nThe giant man sleeping on the bed just said "hmm" in agreement, and then continued to sleep without even turning over.

"..."

Weber was very dissatisfied with the giant man's attitude.

If in his own house - of course, to be precise it should be someone else's house, but that's all I can see now - there is such a slovenly, sturdy man sleeping like this. , it was completely unbearable for him. He had originally been ordered to transform into a spirit form when there was no need to appear, but Rider always maintained this burly figure on the grounds that "it feels good to have a body." The longer the materialization lasts, the more magic power the Master will waste to provide to the Servant for maintenance. Although this waste is unnecessary for Waver, Rider does not care about this kind of thing at all. .

Another thing that Waver couldn't bear was what Rider did after wasting so much of Waver's important magic power... In fact, he did nothing. No matter how much Webber tried to persuade him to conduct reconnaissance activities, he refused to listen. He just slept comfortably by himself, or chewed pancakes and watched rented DVDs. Such a Servant is a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

"Hey, let's be serious! Assassin has been killed! The Holy Grail War has begun!"

"Um."

"……Why".

Webber, who couldn't bear it anymore, raised his voice and shouted, and Rider finally turned to face him with a face full of reluctance.

"I said, who is that assassin? He is just a mouse hiding in the darkness and stealing things. He is no match for me at all."

"..."

"Stop talking about that, kid, come and see this, it's amazing."

Suddenly Rider's tone changed and he pointed at the TV screen passionately. What is currently playing on the DVD player is "Record.\\nWorld Aviation Combat Power Part 4"... As long as it is information for military fans, whether it is documents or video materials, Rider has collected them all in one go. Of course, it was Weber's job to actually get these things. If this burly man were really allowed to go to bookstores and video stores to get information...\\nAs Master, Weber would be even more worried.

"Come and see, this big black guy named B2. He's very fierce. I want to do ten of them. What do you think?"

"——If you have that kind of money, it would be more convenient to just buy a country."

Weber said this in a self-defeating manner, but Rider muttered with a serious expression.

"Sure enough, the problem still lies in funds... If there is a country as rich as Persepolis, go and grab it quickly."

In any case, the Rider who came to this world seems to have begun to adapt to the times and find ways to conquer the world from modern warfare. Even the Holy Grail has a limit to the knowledge it can give. Questions like how much does a stealth bomber cost should be beyond that scope.

"In short, this man named Clinton is a strong enemy in front of me. It seems to be the second strong enemy I have seen since Darius."

"..."

Ever since he summoned this Servant, Waver had been so angry with him that his stomach ached. If he continues like this, when he gets the Holy Grail, he will be so angry that he will have a stomach ulcer.

Weber kicked the question of the big man in front of him out of his mind and began to make plans for the future.

In any case, it was really lucky that Assassin was the first one to be dropped. Waver knew that Rider, his Servant, had strong combat abilities and was the type suitable for head-on confrontation. The most threatening thing to him is those enemies who try to make a sudden attack behind his back. Assassin is that kind of enemy. Although it would be more accurate to say Servant. Caster is also very troublesome, but compared to Assassin who can approach you quietly, the latter is more of a threat to you.

Saber, Lancer, Archer, the three great knights, and Berserker, who only has brute strength, are not to be feared. As long as Rider's abilities and Noble Phantasms are used, he can defeat them and win.

As long as we can find Caster's true identity and stop him——

"——Speaking of which, how was Assassin killed?"

Rider slowly sat up from the bed and suddenly threw these words to Weber.

"……Why?"

"I said, didn't you see the Servant who defeated Assassin?"

Weber was speechless when asked. I saw it, I saw it - but what on earth was it?

"It seems to be Tohsaka's Servant... I guess so. No matter from the appearance or the attack moves, he is a shining and powerful guy. In short, at that moment, I don't know how to do it..."

"That's what matters. You idiot."

Along with his silly voice, Weber suddenly felt as if his eyebrows were exploding. Feeling a pain beyond his imagination, Weber leaned back.

It was Rider's middle finger. This guy flicked Weber's head. Although he didn't use any force. But Rider's fingers, which were like old pine tree roots, still popped Webber's head into a big, red and swollen lump.

Violence again. Another physical attack. The fear and anger caused by the pain caused Weber to lose even the last bit of his sanity. This was the second time he was attacked by his own Servant. This was also the second time in his life that he was beaten.

Weber, whose breathing was quickened because of his anger, opened his mouth wide and gasped for air. Rider ignored the Master who was so angry that his lungs were almost exploding, and sighed deeply.

"I'm telling you, instead of competing with me here, why not take a closer look at the guy who defeated Assassin? What do you think?"

"..."

Weber had no way to argue with him. Rider is right. Although I really don't want to be lectured by this Servant who just sleeps, reads, watches DVDs, and eats all day long, what he said does make sense.\\nThe problem in the future is not with those opponents who have been defeated, but with those who have been defeated. Enemies that still exist.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Isn't there anything special about that guy you mentioned with gold or something?"

"Then, if you want to say that..."

Judging from what happened at that moment, what can we know?

In short, we can first judge that the attack that killed Assassin was accomplished through a Noble Phantasm. Even through the eyes of the familiar, the destructive power of the huge magic power can be seen.

But, if that's the case.\\nThe number of weapons that rained down on Assassin——

"...Rider. Generally speaking, the number of Noble Phantasms that a Servant can possess can only be one, right?"

"Theoretically, yes.\\nBut occasionally there are special heroic spirits with two or three Noble Phantasms. For example, I, Iskandar, am this type."

So, on the day he was summoned, he did say that there were other aces while showing Waver his Noble Phantasm.

"Oh, there's no point in counting the number of Noble Phantasms. As far as I know, the so-called Noble Phantasm is a concrete manifestation of the most famous story or legend about that heroic spirit, so it doesn't necessarily have to be It exists in the form of a weapon. In other words, the meaning of 'a noble phantom' can be understood literally as a weapon, or it can be considered as a special ability, or a means of attack."

"Then, is there any kind of Noble Phantasm that can fire dozens or hundreds of swords at the same time?"

"Is there a sword that can be split into countless pieces? Yes, it is. It is an ability that is defined as a single 'Noble Phantasm'."

"..."

Even though he said that, it was still different from the move used to defeat Assassin. The weapons that Waver saw being fired through the eyes of the familiar each had their own unique shape, and they were definitely not the same weapon that was split. Rather, each one is an independent weapon.

Could it be said that all those are Noble Phantasms? But that should be completely impossible. The number of weapons used to kill Assassin is definitely more than two or three.

"Well, it doesn't matter. As for who the enemy is, you will naturally know it when you see him."

Rider laughed openly and slapped Waver on the back who was deep in thought. A powerful impact made Weber's spine and ribs numb.\\nThe short magician kept coughing. Although this blow did not mean humiliation.\\nWebber still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Rider would not use such a rude way of expressing feelings in the future.

"Then, why is that okay!?"

"No problem. It's exciting."

Rider spoke boldly with a confident smile on his face.

"Eat and love, sleep and fight - try to have fun in whatever you do. That's the secret of life!"

"..."

Weber found no joy in any of these four. No, he hadn't even experienced two of them.

"Okay, how about we go outside and have some fun?"

The big man moved his neck and made a clicking sound while stretching and saying.

"Let's go, kid. Get ready."

"Go, go... where?"

"Where to go? Over there, of course."

"Stop joking!"

Rider stood up, his tall body reaching the roof of the shed, looking at Weber's angry expression with a smile on his face and said.

"You should not be the only one monitoring the Tohsaka Residence. In that case, others should already know about Assassin's death. In this way, those guys who were afraid of being plotted by Assassin in the past will dare to come out. And I will go and kill them. Find them one by one and kill them."

"Find them out and kill them...although you said it simply..."

"I'm Rider. In terms of speed, no other Servant can be my match."

Rider said as he pulled out the sword from the scabbard on his waist. Looking at his posture, Weber knew that he was going to summon that Noble Phantasm again, and was so frightened that he stopped him quickly.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Summoning here is serious, it will blow the whole house away!"

············

On the outskirts of the new capital of Fuyuki City, the Fuyuki Church, located on a hill, welcomed visitors as scheduled tonight.

"——In accordance with the regulations of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei requests the Holy Church to protect my personal safety."

"I accept. As my responsibility for supervising this war, I, Kotomine Rizheng, will guarantee your life safety. Then, please come inside."

Although it would be a bit too hypocritical for the two people who had already agreed.

But in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, I could only put on a show in front of the church. With a serious expression on his face, Kotomine Riko pretended to be an impartial supervisor, and brought his son, who was also disguised as a failed magician, into the church.

For Fuyuki City, which has a large immigrant population, the number of people who regularly go to church is relatively higher than in other cities. Although this Fuyuki Church is located in the far east, it has a strong and magnificent atmosphere of Western religious beliefs. Although on the surface it is just a place for ordinary believers, in fact this church is a holy church built for the purpose of supervising the Holy Grail War. The spiritual veins here are ranked third, and it is said that it is even comparable to the mansion of the Tohsaka family, which is ranked second in the area.

Of course, the person who holds the position of priest here needs to be elected by the members of the "Eighth Secret Society" who are responsible for supervising the battle between the Master and the Servant. In other words, the person who has been receiving ordinary believers in this church since three years ago is none other than Kotomine Rimasa.

"Everything goes according to plan, right?"

After leading Kirei to the innermost priest's room, Father Risei stopped his acting and changed into a face that knew everything.

"Father, is there someone watching this church?"

"No. This is a protected neutral zone. Masters who want to take action here will be advised by the church. There should be no one who wants to come here to harass the losers after knowing the trouble of this matter. .”
