A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

This is curiosity about the unknown——

I was once curious about incredible things like "death".\\nAs I gradually became tired of the constant killings, I lost my due brilliance at some point, and now I finally——

flash. Followed by a roar like thunder.

An impact force passed through Ryunosuke's body. It was as if my whole body was being burned by high-voltage electricity.

A strange power that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Yusheng clan. When they were about to be forgotten by their descendants, with the blood flowing in the bodies of the Uyu clan, the mysterious legacy called the "magic circuit" that slept in Ryunosuke Uyu's body finally reawakened today. Then, the "outside power" that just entered Ryunosuke's body. After circulating through the magic circuit that had just been opened in his body, it flowed out of his body again, and was then absorbed by the object summoned from another world.

——It can be said that this is an exception among exceptions.

Originally, according to the requirements of the Fuyuki Holy Grail itself, seven Servants were required. It does not mean that if a qualified person summons a Servant, he will obtain the corresponding Master qualification. Instead, the Holy Grail selects seven qualified people to serve as Masters.

In the final analysis, which heroic spirit can be summoned is determined by the Holy Grail. The magicians worked so hard to perform the ceremony just in the hope of summoning the Servant they desired more accurately. So no matter how clumsy the summoning circle you use or how vague the spell you recite, as long as you have the qualifications recognized by the Holy Grail, you can achieve miracles...

"--I ask you."

A soft and incredibly beautiful sound came gently from the diffuse mist, and the wind stopped unconsciously. The magic circle that was emitting light just now has dimmed now, and the blood painted on the bed has turned black and dried up, as if it was burnt. Then in the thin mist, the person who just spoke suddenly appeared in front of Ryunosuke.

A face that looks smooth and young, with big eyes that move flexibly and smooth cheeks, and a brown face that matches him very well, reminds Ryunosuke of Munch's paintings.

His costume is also very strange. The slender body is wearing a wide robe, and the clothes are decorated with a large number of luxurious precious metal jewelry, just like the "Magic of Darkness" appearing in the comics.

"The summoner who begged me, called me, and made me appear in this world as a Caster... I am asking your name here. Who is there?"

"..."

Ryunosuke didn't know how to answer. What appeared from the lightning and smoke of the summoning circle made of blood was unexpectedly an ordinary person. Although I don’t know what kind of thing I should expect, it should at least be a very exaggerated monster.

This kind of ordinary human appearance now makes Ryunosuke feel very depressed. Although the clothing looks very bizarre.\\nBut can we judge that this man is a devil based on this alone?

After scratching his head a little, Ryunosuke was mentally prepared to answer.

"Well, my name is Ryunosuke Uyu. I am a freelancer. My hobby is killing people. I like children and young girls."

The man in the robe nodded. It seemed like he had turned a deaf ear to everything except the name.

"Very good. The contract has been established. I also have a long-cherished wish to obtain the Holy Grail that you desire. The key to paradise will definitely fall into our hands, right?"

"Um-what?"

It seemed that he couldn't figure out what was going on right away, and Ryunosuke felt a little confused. In this case, the ancient book found in the warehouse did have such a record, but because it was a very boring rule, I just glanced at it and ignored it.

"...Ah. Put these troublesome topics aside for now, and come -"

Ryunosuke waved his hand gently, then pointed at the child in the corner of the room with his chin and said.

"Anyway, as a welcome gift, how about the one over there? Do you want to eat him?"

The strange man looked expressionlessly at the tied child over there, and then at Ryunosuke. Whether he understood the meaning of Ryunosuke's words or not, there was no clue at all from his face. In this deathly silence, Ryunosuke suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness. Could it be that what I just did was very rude to him? But if a devil eats a child, anyone would think so.

The strange man silently took out a book from his robe. The book looked very thick and beautifully bound. It was obvious at first glance that it was a very valuable antique. Just the kind of props that demons often use.

Ryunosuke could tell the material used to bind the cover of the book at a glance.

"Ah, it's amazing! Is it made of human skin?"

Because Ryunosuke once skinned his victims alive and used them to make lampshades. However, he was very clumsy in hand-making and suffered too many setbacks in the process and finally gave up. Now that he saw an expert who had the same production intention and produced a perfect finished product, he simply respected this man so much.

Regarding Ryunosuke's praise, the man just glanced at him without making any statement. Then he slowly opened the book in his hand and quickly turned the pages with his hands. From time to time, he would say a few words of unclear meaning, and then everything seemed to be done. As if he was done, he closed the book again and put it in his arms again.

"...?"

The strange man put Ryunosuke aside, who could only watch in shock as he could not understand his behavior at all, and walked towards the little boy curled up by the bed. The boy, who had been frightened by the strange things that had been happening continuously since just now, struggled and tried his best to avoid the man who was slowly walking towards him.

Seeing the boy behave like this, the man's eyes suddenly became gentle and full of love for some reason. Seeing this, Ryunosuke became more and more confused. What the hell is going on.

"—Don't be afraid, child."

The strange-looking man spoke to the boy with a soft expression and a soft voice that was incompatible with his appearance. The tied boy finally found someone talking to him with a tender expression, so he stopped struggling and looked at the man's face with pleading eyes.

As if in response to the boy, the man nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to the boy curled up on the ground - and gently untied the rope around his body and his gagged mouth.

"Can you stand up?"

The man lifted the half-bent boy up and stroked his back as if to encourage him.

Although Ryunosuke didn't doubt whether this man was a demon, he still couldn't understand the way he treated the boy. Did he really intend to save this boy's life?

But no matter how you look at this man, he looks very strange. When silent, he has an extremely terrifying face, but when he smiles, his expression is full of innocence and purity, like a saint.

"Okay, kid, get out of the house through the door over there. Just keep going forward, don't look around, and get out on your own feet. - Get out alone."

"……Um……"

The young man nodded firmly, and the man patted the young man on the back with a smile on his face.

The boy ran as the man said, not even daring to look at the bodies of his parents and sister, and walked across the blood-covered floor. The corridor outside the door leads to the stairs and entrance hall on the second floor. As long as he could get there, he could escape from the murderous maniac. He will continue to live.

"Hey, wait..."

Ryunosuke, who really couldn't stand it anymore, was quickly stopped by the man as soon as he opened his mouth.\\n

Ryunosuke said the words. Although he was very worried about the child escaping, he had no choice but to watch the boy's back walking further and further away.

The boy opened the door and walked through the corridor. In front of him was the entrance door, and the young man's eyes, which were filled with fear just now, finally let out the light of peace of mind and hope again.

In the next moment, the story reaches its climax.

The boy who was facing the entrance had his back facing the stairs. On top of the stairs, on the treadmill that was hidden from view from the living room because it was blocked by the stairs, an avalanche suddenly struck the boy below. A very thick robe belt - no, it seemed to be a swarm of countless snakes - it was an indescribable creature, no, perhaps it is more appropriate to say it was the organ of a creature, pulling the boy from behind. His whole body was entangled in it, and then he quickly pulled the boy up to the second floor with an extremely powerful force.

Then - there was a heart-rending scream. There was the sound of countless creatures licking their tongues together and the sound of tiny bones breaking and shattering. Although I didn't see what exactly happened, the imagination triggered by hearing this disgusting sound was even more exciting.

The strange man closed his eyes and raised his head, listening to the nightmare-like sound as if he was very intoxicated. The hand he placed on his chest kept shaking, and he looked very excited.

On the other hand, Ryunosuke was also intoxicated by the same emotion... No, he had no expectations for this, but the current scene brought him a strong spiritual baptism.

"There is something new about horror..."

Seemingly still immersed in the aftereffects of the tragedy he had caused, the demon—who now had no need to doubt at all—began to speak in a tone full of intoxication.

"When human beings are in constant fear, their emotions will gradually die. Terror in the true sense does not refer to a static state that does not change but to a changing dynamic - the transition from hope to despair, that moment of terror. What do you think? This fresh taste of terror and death."

"…………"

Ryunosuke was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

The "thing" still devouring the boy's body on the stairs was probably prepared by this man. It was as if he had emerged from a magic circle made of blood. These things must have been prepared when he first opened the ancient book bound in human skin.

Although he was surprised by the man's method, what impressed him even more was the man's philosophy. This kind of creative work and extremely beautiful evil even Ryunosuke can't compare to. The "aesthetics of death" that can bring about such a strong and distinct touch would not be too much to give him all the praise in the world.

"COOL! Great! You are so COOL!"

With great excitement, Ryunosuke held the man's hand vigorously and shook it up and down. That way, even if you see your relatives, friends or lovers, you may not be so excited. The murderous maniac, Ryunosuke Uyu, finally met a person in this boring world today who he could respect from the bottom of his heart.

"OK~! Although I don't know about the Holy Grail, I want to follow you! I can help you. Come on, let's kill as much as we want. You can have as many living sacrifices as you want. As long as you continue to let me enjoy this Just a very cool way to kill!"

"You are so happy!"

Maybe he felt Ryunosuke's grateful excitement. The man responded to Ryuunosuke with a gentle smile and a straightforward and innocent expression.

"Your name is Ryuunosuke. It's an honor to be understood by a Master like you.\\nIn this way, I can finally realize my long-cherished wish."

——Similar to this kind of summoning that can be successful without a holy relic, the Master and the heroic spirit to be summoned need to have the same spirituality. And what was summoned by a murderous maniac with such bad qualities as Ryuunosuke was a true heroic spirit of murder that was famous for its cruelty and bloodthirsty in future generations. No, judging from his nature, it would be more appropriate to call him an evil spirit rather than a heroic spirit.

"Ah, so I don't know your name yet?"

Ryunosuke, who finally discovered the crux of the problem, asked deliberately to please.

"What about a name? Hmm... If you want a good name that fits this era..."

The man put his finger to his lips and thought about it for a while.

"...Then, how about you call me Qingxu first? Today we are considered acquaintances."

The man answered kindly with an angelic smile.

In this way, the last group in the Fourth Holy Grail War - the seventh Master and his Servant.\\nCaster also completed their contract. A murderous maniac full of joy, he has neither awakened as a magician nor the concept of the Holy Grail War. He only obtained the Command Seal and Servant by accident.

If all this is a joke of fate, then this must be the worst kind of joke.

············

It's three o'clock in the morning and everything is completely silent, which is inappropriate for a magician and a Servant.

In the darkness of the night, the heroic spirits hiding in the shadows are constantly carrying out reconnaissance and assassination activities that cannot be taken lightly.

Especially for the magicians in Fuyuki City, there are two main areas of concern. Those are the two luxurious and grand mansions standing on the hills in the city - the Matou family and the Tohsaka family.
