Chapter 5: The Eve of the Holy Grail War (5)
In the corner of Shenshan Town, Fuyuki City, a clearing in a miscellaneous forest.
After making sure that no one was watching, Webb Velwitt began to prepare for the summoning ceremony.
The three chickens, who had been struggling and crowing all day today, and had been tormenting Weber's nerves, were first sent to the king of Yama by him in a happy mood.
While the dripping blood was still hot, the pattern of the magic array must be drawn on the ground, the order has been practiced countless times, and the fading array is four, engraved in the middle of the summoning arrayβthere must be no mistakes.
"Appear, appear, if so, five times, the restraint scale will be broken quickly." Webb chanted the incantation as he carefully sprinkled the blood onto the ground.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The same ritual is being prepared in the underground workshop of the Tosaka House, also in Fukayama Town.
"Silver and iron as the material, stone and the god of justice as the foundation, in the name of our patriarch Schwein. Sitting on the ground, surrounded by wind walls, the square gates are closed, and the crown leads out three forks, all the roads to Rome. Tosaka Tochen chanted aloud while laying down a magic array.
It was not the blood of the sacrifice that drew the magic array, but the dissolved gems, and all the gems that were filled and saved for this day, Shi Chen did not hesitate to use them all.
Watching from the side were the two fathers and sons, Lizheng and Qili.
Qili stared at the holy relic placed on the altar. At first glance, this piece of thing, which looks indistinguishable from the fragments of a mummy, is claimed to be a fossil of the skin of the world's first molted snake in the distant primeval era.
At the thought of the heroic spirit recruited with this kind of thing, Qili couldn't help but shudder.
Shi Chen's firm self-confidence, he now finally recognized, all the other Servants, it is completely impossible to defeat him.

Meanwhile, at the far end of the continent, inside the city of Einz Belen, Emiya Kiritsugu is confirming the completion of the magic circle in the center of the chapel.
"Just such a simple ceremony?" Einzfeld watched from the sidelines, and she seemed to feel that such a simple preparation was a bit unexpected.
"While it can't be relaxed, the Servant's summoning doesn't require a particularly large ceremony." While checking whether the lines drawn with mercury were distorted or uneven, Kiritsugu explained, "Actually, it is not the caster who summons the Heroic Spirit to the world, but the Holy Grail, and we, as the Master, only need to fix the Heroic Spirit that appears in this world and provide the little magic needed to maintain the materialization." β
Satisfied with the result, Kiritsugu nodded and stood up, placing the sacred relic of the Edge, the legendary scabbard of the Holy Sword, into the altar.
"Okay, that's perfect."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The underground wormhole of the Kiri's house......
"I'll remember the spell I summoned."
For the confirmation of the dirty inkstone of the square tree, Yanye nodded in the dark.
Surrounded by the smell of decay and sourness, shrouded in the dark green darkness of the deep sea, there is a house on the top of a hill in the town of Yamayama, and a wormhole hidden deep underneath the house.
"Yes, but in the middle of that spell, add two other verses."
"Why?"
Yan Ye asked casually, and the dirty inkstone replied with a natural sinister laugh.
"What, it's very simple, Yan Ye, your level as a magician is not half a star worse than other masters, resulting in the basic ability of the Servant is also insufficient. In this case, it is up to the Servant class to make up for it and increase the base of the base value. β
This is to determine the class through the orchestration of summoning spells.
Normally, the summoned Heroic Spirit will inevitably be determined by his own attributes when determining his class as a Servant, however, there are two exceptions to this class, which can be determined by the summoner in advance.
One is the Assassin, the Assassin's counterpart to the Heroic Spirit, who has been fixed as one of a group of assassins who bear the name of Hassan Sabaha.
And the other class, because it can give all the Heroic Spirits a specific additional factor so that it corresponds to this classβ
"This time, we're going to add the 'madness' attribute to the summoned Servant." As if enjoying the destruction he was about to incur, Dirty Yan happily announced, "Yan Ye, you can do it for me as the master of the 'Berserker'." β
β¦β¦
On this day, the incantations that were sung in different places, in front of different objects, sounded almost simultaneously, completely beyond the contingency of chance.
Whoever casts the spell, their long-cherished wish is the same.
A miracle is about to befall only one person, and they will not hesitate to fight for it in order to obtain it.
Heroes in the distance of time and space, now, the earth sounded the aria of several people praying at the same time: "Woohoo-"
Now is the time to test yourself as a magician, and if you fail, you can't even save your life. While nervous in his heart, Webb did not feel any fear in the slightest.
With a passion for power and a relentless pursuit of goals, Weber Wilwitt is undoubtedly an excellent magician in terms of personality alone.
βwoohoo.
My will is your command, and my destiny is your sword.
Dwelling in the Holy Grail, if it is from this will, if it is obeyed, at my callβ"
The feeling of magic traveling through the whole body, as a magician for a day, I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of the chills and pain caused by the wriggling of the magic circuit in my body.
Webber gritted his teeth and endured, and continued to chant.
β¦β¦
βhereby make an oath. I am the sum of all the evils in the worldβ"
Kiritsugu's eyes began to darken.
The magic engraving engraved on his back that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Emiya clan began to chant independently in support of Kiritsugu's spells, and Kiritsugu's heart began to beat rapidly as if it had been driven by some other mysterious force out of his own will.
The physical body, which had been ravaged by the mana that had gathered from the atmosphere, had now lost its function as a human being, and had become a part of the realization of a mystery, a circuit between the spirit and the matter.
Kiritsugu ignored the pain that was moaning under the weight and focused on the incantation, and Alice Phil, who was so nervous that he forgot to swallow his saliva, was not even in his consciousness.
β¦β¦
The taboo phrases mixed in the summoning spell, the two verses of prayers that deprive the senses of the Heroic Spirits they have been summoned and relegate them to the berserk profession, are added in the right place by the Goose Night:
"βand thy eyes shall be filled with chaos, and thou art imprisoned by madness, and I am the one who wields the chainsβ"
Unlike ordinary magicians, Yanye's magic circuit is parasitic on other creatures in his body, and the burden of stimulating and activating the magic circuit is a sharp pain that far exceeds the pain endured by other magicians, and his limbs begin to spasm while chanting, and countless capillaries burst and blood oozes.
The right eye, which was still remnant, also shed bright red blood and tears at this moment, sliding down his cheek.
Despite this, Yan Ye still had to concentrate.
When you think of what you are carrying on your back, you can't run away from it at this time.
β¦β¦
"βThou shalt be the seven gods bound by the three great spells, the messenger of justice from the wheel of chokeholdββ!"
Seeing that the closing prayer had been recited, Shi Chen still urged the magic power flowing in his body to accelerate.
The tornado was accompanied by electric light, and the wind pressure forced Qili and the others who were watching from the side to open their eyes, but the summoning lines were still shining.
Finally, the magic circle was connected to a place that was not in this world...... In the continuous flow of light, the figure of gold appeared.
Father Lizheng was suddenly conquered by his majesty, and he couldn't help but sigh.
ββ¦β¦ If we win Qili, we will win this war......"
And so the prayer reached their ears.
From this life to this life, the legendary apparition descended in a whirlwind and light.
Those who once transcended the human world and were promoted to the realm of the gods with the power of human beings. From where these supernormal people are concentrated...... The gods who came from the power of restraint and the heroic spirits who carried people's dreams descended on the earth together at this moment.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At the same time, somewhere in this world, space distorted in a very unnatural way, and the air that should have been invisible appeared like ripples on the surface of the water.
Slowly, the ripple became larger and wider, and then, a black dot appeared in the center of the ripple, followed by ......
In the blink of an eye, the black dot in the center of the ripple suddenly expanded, like a black hole about to devour everything, and the darkness instantly dyed the surrounding space into an envelope.
If you look closely, you can still see the distorted and disorderly space in this darkness, and everything surrounded by darkness, whether it is the earth, the forest, or the flowers, insects, birds and beasts, all of them are torn apart and crushed into powder in an instant, and nothing can survive in this darkness.
However, in this darkness, two figures emerged, one was a young man with shoulder-length black broken hair and a plain black trench coat; The other is a girl with long black hair tied into a double ponytail and wearing a black dress.
"It's finally here, and it's really time to run in at the right time." The black-haired boy stretched his back and complained dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for the fluctuations in the summoning of the Heroic Spirit, maybe it would have taken more time!" β
"Is this the world you call it? Naroku-san ...... "The same black girl asked the boy, Naraku, of course, the girl is Ziggy who came out with Naraku for pre-game special (brigade) training (line), the successor of [Black Jeremiah], Siegrind Jeremiah.
"Well, this is it, but it seems that we came a few days early, ah, ah, sure enough, it is difficult to do fine time control without the experience gained from years of practice!" Naraku scratched her hair as if she was very upset, "Looks like I need to stay in this world for a few more days." β
"Huh~~~ In this case, won't the DSAA competition be in time?"
When he heard that he was going to stay here longer than expected, Ziggy suddenly became anxious, but Naraku waved his hand unconcernedly.
"Don't worry, for us, 'time' is there, and if I want to, no matter how much time I spend here, when we go back, it will only be a week......
"What's going on?" Ziggy turned his head and asked in surprise, the cuteness of the crooked head and questioning was simply off the charts, if Naraku was a special group, it is estimated that he would not stand still now, but directly pounce on it to do something that should be harmonized.
Of course, the premise is that you have this strength, otherwise you will be obliterated by Ziggy who subconsciously enters the state of [Jeremiah's Essence].
"Don't worry about the details, you just need to know that we have time." Naraku touched Zig's head and said with a smile.
Naraku didn't tell anyone about his ability to manipulate time, and similarly, he didn't mean to explain his abilities to others, and even Naya and the others didn't know Naraku's strength and ability.
One is because he doesn't mean to show off, and the other is that there is no point in saying it other than to hit others, so Naraku has never said anything about his ability in front of people.
"Let's find a place to live first, I don't want to sleep on the street at night!" Holding Zigger's hand, a gold brick appeared in Naraku's hand, "Let's go and exchange some money first!" β
After the words fell, the boy (pseudo) and the girl (real) just disappeared in place.
At the same time, the dark space with super pressure and tearing power began to gradually dissipate after losing the support of the master's power, and this space gradually returned to its original state under the corrective power of the world.
