Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

Except for leaving a smaller spider to guard Irisviel, the remaining adult cold spiders ran towards the Tohsaka house like galloping horses.

They look like chariots, destroying all the stones and trees along the way.

Not only these, in fact, there are very few creatures in the dreamland that can resist the predation of cold spiders, and even the 'Guge Giant' summoned by Rope is just their meal.The reason for this is that, as the lower servant race, they serve a powerful old ruler - the 'God of Spiders' Atlach Naka.

The old ruler has always been considered the ancestor and manager of all spiders, never stopping weaving cobwebs on the abyss of fantasy and reality, and some cultists who worship it think that if A Trak completes his weaving duties, and the world will be destroyed.

"Kariya, you put the winged blade insects into the room from the northeast, southwest, and northwest windows, and look for the trace of Tokiomi Tosaka, but don't do it."

"Understood." Kariya nodded.

At this time, on the distant mountain side, Saber's magical arrogance rose up in the sky without concealing it.

...has it started?

"Then, we have to show some energy here."

Rope rolled up his sleeves and completely exposed the magic pattern of Lalaiye's text to the air.

"It's time to hunt!"

-

While Rope and Kariya were intensively planning their attack, Tokiomi Tosaka was still sipping red wine leisurely in his study.

Taking 'elegance' as his family creed, even when he was about to fall asleep at night, the surface of his hand-made red suit was still meticulous, and his hair was neatly groomed.

In his opinion, after summoning the King of Heroes, the victory of this war already belongs to him.

——No one can defeat their own Heroic Spirit.

"What's wrong, Kirei." He put down the wine glass in his hand and turned to look at the person who came. "It's so late, is there anything else?"

That was Kotomine Kirei, a disciple of Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Compared with other times, Tohsaka Tokiomi was keenly aware of the changes in his disciples, as eager as a child waiting for some kind of result.

"...Nothing, the disciple is just here to report his thoughts on the battle of the Einzbern family."

"Is it."

Tosaka Tokiomi stood up and looked at the starry sky outside the window. "What a pity, if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly bring considerable convenience."

He laughed. "However, it's not useless. At least we know Rider's trump card and some information about other Heroic Spirits. In terms of the value of Assassin, it's enough."

Tokiomi's tolerant attitude made Kirei's head bow even deeper.

"I'm really ashamed that I failed to remove an obstacle for you, my mentor, at the last moment."

Kirei raised his head, saw the sincere and sincere look in Tokiomi's eyes, and said to himself.

"It is indeed because of the Holy Grail War that we met, but in any case, I am very proud to have a disciple like you."

Tokiomi then took a black slender wooden box next to the letter and handed it to Kirei.

"Open it and take a look, this is my personal gift to you."

Kirei opened the box, and inside the velvet-decorated interior was neatly placed an exquisite short sword.

"This is?"

"The sword of Azoth. It is made of ancestral gemstones. It can be used as a dress after being filled with magic power... I think you have studied under my school for so long, and your achievements other than talent are far beyond mine. As expected, use this as proof that you are cultivating the Tohsaka family's magic way and graduating from the apprenticeship."

"..."

Kirei held the dagger in his hand and looked at it carefully.His eyes fell on the sharp edge of the dagger and did not move away for a long time.

What is this feeling... happy?

Facing the teacher who treats him like this, do you want to kill him personally?

'Kotomine Kirei' is really a beast... Kirei narrowed his eyes, and sincerely spurned himself, but at the same time, he was very excited by the tragedy that was about to come.

"My teacher...!?" Just as he was about to say something, the fluctuations from the magic barrier made him stop talking.

"Ok?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi hurriedly walked to another window and opened the covering curtain.

Outside the window, huge spiders are destroying the enchantment of the courtyard. Whether it is big or small, flames or frost, the magic traps have no effect on them, as if they were absorbed.

"An enemy attack?"

Tosaka Tokiomi thought very calmly, turned around and came to his desk, turned his back to Kotomine Kirei, and took out his wand-shaped magic dress from the drawer.

"Kirei, it has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, so just wait here. This kind of evil magic, the opponent should be Lancer's Master, and I should fight it."

"No, teacher..."

Kotomine Kirei came quietly behind Tohsaka Tohsaka.

"Let the disciples go to fight, and you can rest here."

Faster than the words, it was Kotomine Kirei's dagger.

"……what?"

The sword of Azoth, which was proof of friendship and trust, passed through the gap between the ribs and pierced directly into Tokiomi's heart.As a battle-hardened agent, the blow was accurate.There was no killing intent at all, and there was no warning at all. Maybe even Tokiomi, who was stabbed, couldn't understand what the pain in his chest meant.
