There was a gloomy atmosphere in the church seats.

Father Yan Feng Lizheng looked at the heavy demonic aura in front of him and smiled helplessly.

About an hour after the signal to recruit the Master is issued. None of the Masters showed up at the Winterwood Church, and instead the five Messengers gathered here. Except for Yan Feng Qili, who ostensibly withdrew from the war, and Caster's Master Ryunosuke, who couldn't see the magic signal, the other masters all sent "representatives" to come. It seems that if all the masters are counted, everyone doesn't care about the superficial attitude towards the church.

Even Tosaka Tokitomi only sent envoys to attend. The remaining four demons should have been sent by Ainz Belen, Makiri, and the two masters from outside. This also proves the fact that Rod Elumeroy, whose whereabouts are unknown during the bombing of the Hyatt Regency in Fuyuki, is still alive.

"Originally, I had prepared a special cold noise, but it seems that no one came, so I'll just say it. 」

After a brief opening remarks, the old priest continued in front of the empty congregation – at least without "humans" as an audience.

"The Holy Grail War, which has been able to fulfill your long-cherished wishes, is now facing a major crisis. Originally, the Holy Grail would only give power to those who pursued him and the Heroic Spirits, but now there was a betrayer in the midst of it. He and his Heroic Spirit disregarded the righteousness of the Holy Grail. Use the power given to them to satisfy your own shallow desires. 」

Perhaps because he was accustomed to preaching as a priest, Rimasa spoke alone, regardless of the audience's reactions. Of course, the audience sitting in the devotee seat will only listen in silence. After coughing, the old priest continued.

"Master Caster, yesterday we found out that this man is the one who recently committed serial murders and serial abductions in Fuyuki City. He used his Servant to commit crimes, but then set the crime scene aside and did not do covert treatment. What are the consequences of such a serious violation of the rules of secrecy - I don't think you will understand it without me explaining. 」

Although there was no reaction from the demons, the masters who heard Limasa speak through the demons must have been a little shaken. Just like the Shichen in the morning, this is a normal reaction that any magician should have.

"He and his Servants are no longer your personal enemies, but public enemies that threaten the call of the Holy Grail. So I used my overseer to temporarily change the rules of the Holy Grail War. 」

While making a declaration in a serious voice, Lizheng rolled up his right sleeve and exposed his arm.

Although his muscles are old, it can still be seen that he has strong arms when he was young...... From his elbows to his wrists, it was covered in tattoo-like patterns — no, that shouldn't be called a tattoo. For the Master of the Holy Grail War, it was clear at a glance what it was.

"These are the things that I have recovered from the past Holy Grail War and entrusted to me as the overseer of this Holy Grail War. Before the decisive battle was fought, the legacy of the Servant Masters was lost—the spells they had not yet used. 」

Seeing this evidence, no one doubted the authority of Fr. Risho as an overseer.

The spells that the masters didn't have time to use in the past are now kept by him as the administrator. Also known as stigmata, the Spell is a testament to the fate of participating in the Holy Grail War. Not only does it contain the meaning of fate, but it is also a kind of control device for the Servant.

The phenomenon of mantras can be called a miracle in itself. However, although this mark on Master's body has very powerful energy, it is only a type of consumable physical enchantment, so it can also be transplanted or transferred through spells.

"I can transfer these preparatory spells to anyone at my own discretion. For those of you who are now in control of the Servant, you should know the importance and value of these markings, right?"

Although he was faced with the demons who were only responsible for relaying what he heard to his master, Father Risho gradually entered a state of preaching and began to become agitated.

"All the Masters have stopped all the fighting they are fighting, and everyone is doing their best to annihilate Caster first. In addition, I will select the person who will destroy Caster and his Master, and give him a spell that will be added as a special measure. If it is completed by a single person, it will be given to only that person, and if it is completed by multiple people, it will be given to each person who gives power. When it is confirmed that Caster has been eliminated, the Holy Grail War will begin again. 」

After lowering his sleeve, Father Lizheng added.

"So, if you have any questions, ask them here. 」

There was a commotion in the darkness. The sound of moving chairs, getting up, and leaving mingled and then faded away.

Now that the notice of the superintendent is fully understood, there is no point in continuing to stay here. For the current Master, there is nothing to ask at all, and everyone is busy preparing for a new competition.

In the church, which has finally returned to a truly uninhabited state, Father Lizheng smiled slightly as he thought about the future.

Once all this was said - just wait, and the four hungry hounds would surely go and drive Caster to a dead end.

Although it is now known the appearance of the target Master and the location of Caster's workshop. If you tell all of this to the other masters, it might increase some efficiency. However, doing so may also spark suspicion. So now is not the time to make the information available through Assassin to the public.

How long will Caster be able to hold out? As for the others, they don't think that the situation will immediately turn into a six-on-one siege battle, and it will be difficult for the other masters to follow the Overseer's instructions and simply act with Caster as a target. For them, Caster's hunt was just a small episode. Their real goal is to be able to win the melee that follows.

Everyone was hungry for more spells. But if the enemy gets the same thing as himself, then he has no advantage at all.

Therefore, for these masters, it is better to kill Caster alone and have an exclusive advantage than to cooperate with others to get the spell together. Although the former is a much easier way. And maybe they will get in the way of each other in order to compete.

If that's the case, it's a problem. If they get in the way of each other, it might be detrimental to Archer's actions.

All of the Master's movements were watched by the Assassin, who had almost forgotten about them. Qili's job is indeed beautiful. As a magician who has been studying magic for a few days, he can use such superb means to control his Servant, which is something that even Shi Chen, who is his teacher, could not have imagined.

For the sake of his faith, for the creed of the Church, and for the sake of the covenant with his deceased friends, this confident child did his best to make the most of his talents. This is an achievement that even his father has not achieved.
