Chapter 2: The Battle Begins
Wang Wei stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the road that stretched on both sides, analyzing the situation in front of him. This time, the mission is to kill any four of the seven masters, such as Emiya Kiritsugu, Kiri Yan, Tosaka Tokitomi, Maki Goose, Kenneth Almeloy Achpolud, Webb Welwitt, and Yusheng Ryunosuke.
Among these seven people, the most difficult to deal with are Emiya Kiritsugu, known as the "magician killer", and Yan Feng Qili, who used to be the representative of the church. Not only are they both strong and experienced in combat, but they are also the kind of people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. In order to pursue victory, they can do things without limits, and this is the most terrifying thing about them.
The next most difficult ones to deal with were Tosaka Tokitomi and Kenneth Almeloy Achpolud. One of them is the head of the contemporary Tosaka family, and the other is a first-level lecturer of the Clock Tower Spiritual Descent Department, both of whom are powerful orthodox magicians. If you talk about strength alone, it is still above the Wei Gong Kiritsu and Yan Feng Qili. It's just because they have rarely fought before and have little combat experience that they are ranked below Emiya Kiritsugu and Yan Feng Qili. After all, the outcome of a battle is not determined by strength alone.
After that, there will be a few nights of Tong Geese. Although he was a magician who had only become a monk halfway through on the eve of the Holy Grail War, he became a qualified magician in a short period of time thanks to the influence of the Akiri's engraved insect technology. In addition, the insect control technique of the Maki family is originally a magic technique that is very suitable for fighting, so the combat effectiveness of the Maki Yanye is not low. It's just that after all, he has only been a magician for a short time, and there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be mastered yet, and the technology of the Marking Worm is also seriously damaging his health. Therefore, his strength is still below Tosaka Tokitomi and Kenneth.
Counting down the night, it was Webb Velwitt. The future Ermelo II is now just an ordinary student in the clock tower. Although the theoretical knowledge is outstanding, because the quantity and quality of the innate magic circuits are extremely poor, the strength as a magician is not high, and there is almost no combat effectiveness.
In the end, the weakest individual among the seven is Yusheng Ryunosuke. Ryunosuke Yubu is a psychopathic homicidal maniac with severe mental illness. But other than that, he is just an ordinary person, who has neither received any training nor learned anything about magic, so he can be said to be a person who has nothing to do with magic. Moreover, he has not received any training in combat, and his combat effectiveness is almost zero, so it can be said that any stronger person can knock him out in a head-on battle.
To sum up, this is the analysis of the personal strength of Wang Ji's seven mission objectives. According to this analysis, Wang Yu can easily kill the weakest Webb Wilwitt and Yusheng Ryunosuke. But alas, this is only the result of considering their individual strength. Don't forget, the Holy Grail War was fought by the Master and Servant in pairs. Normally, the Servant will stay by the Master's side at all times, and if the Servant's ability is also counted as the Master's strength, then any one of the seven people can kill Wang Ji in an instant.
"Fortunately, no one knows about my existence, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive a day." Wang Ji secretly said in his heart, "But my hidden state cannot be maintained forever, and if I want to complete the task, I must participate in the war." And once I make a move, I'm sure to get someone's attention. Also, the more I shoot, the easier it is to be spotted. So, once I started to act, I had to complete the task in a short period of time, so that all parties did not have time to react. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for me. ”
He took a deep breath, stepped down the street in front of him, and whispered to himself, "Looks like we need to plan well." ”
###
In the next two days, Wang Wei traveled every inch of Dongmu City. Key locations such as the Tosaka House, the Emiya Mansion, the Makiri House, the Yanfeng Church, and the Fuyuki Theater were all marked on the map in his hand. The reason why the castle of Einzberen was not marked was because Wang Ji knew that the entire forest where the castle was located had been arranged with an enchantment, and he would be discovered by the other party as soon as he walked in. Wang Ji didn't plan to expose himself for this reason.
The third day after Wang Ji left Liudong Temple.
On this afternoon, the citizens of Fuyuki City witnessed a strange sight that could only be seen in dreams in the past.
Huge monsters are rampage across the river, and UFOs (Note 1) and Self-Defense Force fighters are sparkling in the sky.
(Note 1: The glorious "boat" formed by gold and emerald gemstones on which the hero king rode was a flying vehicle called "Vimana" that was brought to India by Babylon in legend and recorded in the two narrative poems of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.) )
It all started with the madness of Caster's Servant.
A servant is a demon who makes a contract with a magician and acts according to the orders of his master. Most of the most common demons are non-sapient creatures such as cats or birds.
But the Servant in the Holy Grail War was different.
Servants in the Holy Grail War are Heroic Spirits summoned through the Holy Grail. The so-called heroic spirit refers to the hero who left great achievements in life and became a legendary hero after death, and is close to the spirit and beyond the human being.
These Servants, summoned by the Holy Grail, are given 7 different classes based on their characteristics: Saber (Swordsman), Lancer (Spearman), Archer (Archer), Ride (Cavalry), Caster (Magician), Assassin (Assassin), and Berserker (Berserker).
These ranks grant the unique class abilities of the Immortal who owns the class, but also limit the abilities of the Immortal in other areas. For example, if a Heroic Spirit is summoned by the Berserker rank, then he will be "berserk" with the special ability that obtained the Berserker rank, but if the Heroic Spirit is still highly skilled in archery, then his bow and arrow ability will be lost due to the class.
In this Holy Grail War, the heroic spirit summoned as Caster was Gilles de Rice. During his lifetime, he was a field marshal of France during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and a comrade-in-arms of Joan of Arc. After Joan of Arc was executed as a heretic, he was deranged from a great blow and began to study the dark arts in order to resurrect Joan of Arc. In the end, he was burned at the stake for torturing more than 300 children to death.
Earlier today, the deranged Caster, inspired by his equally mentally unsane Master, Ryunosuke Yusui, decided to unleash large-scale magic to get the attention of the world's so-called gods.
In the Weiyuan River in the center of Fuyuki, he launched a large-scale magic spell centered on himself to summon the sea demons. The powerful magic generated when he unleashed his magic spell immediately attracted the ideas of the other Masters and Servants. Forces from all sides rushed to the scene.
Due to the huge casualties caused by Caster's behavior, Saber, Lancer, and Ride decided to temporarily cease the war and join forces to eliminate Caster first.
At the same time, the news of the appearance of a huge monster in the center of Fuyuki also attracted the attention of the Japanese government, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces sent two F15 fighter jets to investigate. One of the fighters was destroyed and devoured by the Sea Devil, while the other was hijacked by Berserker.
After Berserker gained control of the fighters, he did not join the melee below, but launched an attack on Archer who was in a wait-and-see state under the orders of Master Kiriyoge.
Maki Yayan does not yearn for the Holy Grail, and he participates in the Holy Grail War for only two purposes, to rescue Sakura and defeat Tosaka Tokitotomi. Tosaka is Archer's Master.
At this time, Wang Wei was standing on the bridge across the Weiyuan River, surrounded by people who were stunned by the reality beyond "common sense" in front of him. The people stared blankly at everything in front of them, and everyone was so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, except for one person......
"Awesome...... Awesome! It's amazing! ”
Not far away, there was a young man with orange hair and a purple casual suit, dancing and screaming. His expression was unusually excited, as if something he had been waiting for for had finally happened.
Ryunosuke Yusui!
Wang Ji recognized the identity of the young man at a glance, he was Caster's Master Yusheng Ryunosuke, and he was also one of Wang Ji's mission targets.
At this time, the distance between Yusheng Ryunosuke and Wang Ji was no more than 20 meters, and he was defenseless against everything around him, and Wang Ji's marksmanship could kill him with one shot.
"Do you want to do it?" Wang Ji thought about it secretly.
"No, you can't do it." Wang Ji immediately vetoed this proposal, "Emiya Kiritsugu should be watching this side, and if you do it here, it will definitely attract his attention." Now is not the time for me to be exposed. ”
Resisting the urge to kill Ryunosuke Yusheng, Wang Ji left the bridge and walked towards a nearby high-rise villa.
Just now, Tosaka Tokitomi jumped onto the building from Archer's golden ship. For Wang Ji, who has seen the work "Fate/Zero", which describes the Fourth Holy Grail War, as soon as he saw this scene, he immediately understood that it was the battlefield where Tosaka Tokitomi and Maki Yayan fought for the first and only time.
