A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

The residence of the Master who aims at the Holy Grail is majestically located there. Recently, there are often low-level familiars wandering around day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.

However, the owner of the museum has long been prepared for this level of reconnaissance, and has already erected more than ten or twenty layers of barriers around the mansion for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense. From a magical point of view, there is simply no difference between the two mansions and the fortress.

Without the master's consent, even humans with magical powers would not be able to step into the barrier, let alone Servants who are like huge magic crystals. Therefore, whether it is a physical or spiritual body, it is impossible to sneak into this fortress-like barrier without being noticed.\\nNo matter what, it is impossible.

However, there is an exception that can make this impossible possible. Assassin's ability to cut off the breath is one such exception. Although he does not have strong combat abilities, Assassin is able to suppress his magic power to almost zero and act like an invisible shadow, allowing him to approach his target like an invisible shadow.

Furthermore, for Assassin, who is Kotomine Kirei's Servant, tonight's infiltration mission is too simple. Because what he is sneaking into now is not the house of his rival Matou family. Instead, it was the residence of Uisaka Tokiomi, who was his Master Kirei's ally until yesterday.

Of course Assassin knew that Kirei and Tokiomi secretly formed an alliance behind other Masters' backs. And in order to protect the secret agreement between Masters, Assassin has served as a guard in Tohsaka's mansion many times. Therefore, he had already investigated the configuration and density of the barriers here, and of course he was well aware of the blind spots.

Assassin skillfully avoided the intricate barriers in his spiritual state.\\nAt the same time, he secretly laughed at Tohsaka Tokiomi's ridiculous fate. The arrogant magician seemed to have great trust in his subordinate Kirei, but he never imagined that the puppy he had raised for so many years would bite his hand in turn.

It was less than an hour ago that Kirei ordered Assassin to kill Tokiomi. Although it is not yet certain what caused Kirei to have murderous intent, it may have been caused by Tokiomi summoning Sevrant a few days ago. I heard that the Servant who made a contract with Tokiomi seems to be Servant Archer, but through observation, this heroic spirit is even more fragile than Kirei imagined. From this point of view, there would be no benefit in continuing to cooperate with Tokiomi. Perhaps it was because of this that he issued such an order tonight.

"There is no need to be too cautious. Even if we have to confront Archer head-on, there is nothing to worry about. We must kill Tokiomi Tohsaka quickly."

This is Master Kirei's instruction. Even Assassin, who has the lowest combat ability, "doesn't need to be afraid" when fighting against him - it can be seen that the heroic spirit of Archer summoned by Tokiomi must have disappointed Kirei very much.

Just as he was thinking about it, Assassin had arrived at the final barrier. There were no blind spots in the barrier here. If you want to pass here, you must physically destroy the barrier to eliminate it before you can continue to move forward. This is work that cannot be accomplished in the invisible spirit state.

After hiding in the shadow of the plants, Assassin began to transform from a spirit body to a physical body, and a slender body with a skull mask began to appear. At this time, he arrived at a place that was different from other barriers in Tosaka. Many "sights" came from far away. These are probably the familiars of other Masters who monitor the mansion outside the barrier. But as long as Tokiomi doesn't notice, these peeking guys can be ignored. As competitors who also aimed at the Holy Grail, they had no reason to inform Tokiomi Tohsaka that Assassin had infiltrated.

Regarding this kind of massacre between competitors, everyone will adopt a bystander attitude and watch from the side.

Assassin snickered and stretched out his hand to the sealing point of the outermost barrier——

The moment he stretched out his hand, a shining gun flew down from directly above him like lightning, passing through the back of his hand and pinning his hand to the ground.

"...!?"

Severe pain, fear, and even more intense shock. Assassin, who was deeply surprised by the sudden blow of the dazzling spear, looked up with a look of disbelief on his face, looking for the person who threw the spear.

No, there is no need to search at all.

On the roof of Tohsaka Mansion, stood an unusually magnificent golden figure. It was a majesty that could even dim the stars and the moon in the sky, as bright as a god.

Assassin could no longer feel the anger of the injury and the pain of the wound. Now all he had in his heart was the fear of that overwhelming sense of majesty.

"Ant lying on the ground. Who allowed you to raise your head?"

The golden figure looked down at Assassin lying on the ground with his burning red eyes, and asked in a contemptuous tone.

"You don't see my qualifications. Just be like ants, just lie down on the ground and lower your head to die."

Then around the golden figure, countless flashing lights appeared. There are swords and spears that appear in the air. There are countless types, but they are not repeated, and any one of them is a treasure-like weapon with gorgeous decorations. And all these weapons are aimed at Assassin.

Invincible - Assassin didn't even have to think about it, his instinct told him that the man in front of him was invincible.

It would be foolish to fight a guy like that. There was no way I could defeat him.

Judging from the fact that he was able to injure me as a Servant, that golden figure must also be a Servant.\\nAnd he protects Tohsaka's mansion—in other words, he is a Heroic Spirit of the Archer class?

Don't you need to be afraid of that guy?

Assassin carefully recalled what his Master had told him, and finally realized that Kirei's words were actually correct.

In the face of an enemy with such overwhelming power, there is no room for even so-called fear—yes, even feeling fear—

It can be felt. There is only despair.

Along with the sound of the wind being cut, countless sharp blades shining with cold light flew towards Assassin.

Assassin could feel those glances. The sight of the familiars watching him from outside the barrier. The other Masters must have seen it, the first loser in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Servant who was defeated without even making a single move.

In his last moments, Assassin finally understood. The true purpose of his Master Kotomine Kirei and... his ally Tokiomi Tohsaka.

············

Tokiomi Tosaka sat on the loose and comfortable easy chair in his room, listening to the roar of countless Noble Phantasms cutting through the skin and piercing the earth deeply.

"Well, that's a good start..."

The golden light shining outside reflected the silhouette of the magician talking to himself.

The golden figure seems to be able to dispel all the dark light.\\nThe intruder will be executed on the spot. Then he returned to the house as a spirit, and the Servant Archer appeared in his physical form again, standing proudly next to his Master with a satisfied expression on his face.

Observe this person carefully. He has a dignified appearance, is wearing gold armor, has blond hair that stands up like burning flames, and has a dignified face. He is an extremely gorgeous and beautiful young man. Those eyes that were as red and bright as blood exuded a mysterious brilliance that was unruffled and incomparable.

"You're really annoying me with trivial things, Tokiomi."

Tokiomi stood up from his chair and bowed to him respectfully and gracefully.

"I'm so sorry, my King of Kings."

As a Servant, you should be respectful to the Master who summoned you. But Tokiomi Tohsaka did not hesitate to be so humble to the Servant he summoned. Because he was the heir to a noble bloodline, Tokiomi Tosaka was often extremely conceited about his "noble bloodline" that was far superior to others. But why was he so courteous to the heroic spirits he summoned to win the Holy Grail War? Instead of using them as servants, he treated them like honored guests.

That's because the man who appeared in the world as Archer is none other than the legendary "King of Heroes" Gilgamesh. The demigod king who reigned over ancient Mesopotamia. He has the longest history as a hero and is the oldest king in the human world.

Tokiomi Tosaka's creed is to respect noble things. Even if you have control over the Command Seal, or if you make any kind of contract, you can't reverse the high and low. Therefore, even as his Servant, the golden young man in front of him should be treated with the highest respect.

"What we did tonight is to save some unnecessary trouble in the future. I believe that after they have seen the power of the 'King of Heroes' tonight, those idiots will not dare to cause trouble again."

"Um."

Archer also nodded in agreement with Tokiomi's judgment. An attitude like Tokiomi's, who is respectful but neither humble nor arrogant, is rare in this era. As the King of Heroes, he can also understand this.

"Let the beasts fight each other for the time being, and then we will see which one is the lion worth hunting. In short, please wait for a while before finding the prey."

"Okay, let's take a casual walk for now to kill the boring time. This era is also quite interesting."

When Tokiomi heard what Archer said, he felt a little confused by him.

The Servant he summoned was indeed the strongest among the heroic spirits. But this heroic spirit's strong curiosity and the resulting unauthorized actions gave him a headache. Since he came to this world, he hasn't spent a single night in Tohsaka's mansion honestly. Even if Archer was asked to stay on the roof tonight in order to deal with Assassin's attack, it took Tokiomi a lot of effort to convince him.

"...Do you like it? This modern world."

"Irredeemably ugly. But whatever. All I care about is whether there are any treasures in this world worth adding to my collection."

After suppressing the smile on his face. Archer's red eyes were filled with the majesty of God as he stared at Tokiomi and asked slowly.

"If this is a world where there is nothing worth collecting - the sin of summoning me without any meaning is very serious. Tokiomi."

"Don't worry, the Holy Grail will definitely satisfy you, the King of Heroes."

Tokiomi didn't feel uneasy, but answered confidently.

"Then I won't know until I check it myself... But let's forget it. For now, let's do as you say. All the treasures in this world belong to me. Whether it's the Holy Grail or anything else. , I will never let go of anyone who wants to take them away without my permission."

After making such bold words, the King of Heroes released his physical state, and his figure gradually disappeared like a ray of light.

"I'll just wait and see what you said about the lion for fun. Tokiomi, I'll leave the details to you."

Tokiomi lowered his head and listened respectfully. He maintained that posture without slacking off until the heroic spirit's aura completely disappeared in the room.

"……Oh My God."

It wasn't until the pressure of the gold completely disappeared that the magician let out a long sigh.

For Servants, in addition to the unique abilities of their heroic spirits, they will also receive corresponding abilities based on their different ranks in the world. Assassin's "breath cutting", Caster's "position creation", Saber and Rider's "riding", etc. all fall into this category. Similarly, what a Servant who exists as an Archer class in this world gains is the special ability called "acting alone."

This ability can maintain a certain degree of freedom of movement without relying on the Master's magic supply. When the Master wants to consume all his magic power to activate skills, or when the Master is injured and unable to provide enough magic power to the Servant, this kind of Ability is particularly important. But there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, the Master cannot completely control the Servants.

As an Archer, Gilgamesh's ability to act alone is equivalent to A-level.\\n

It goes without saying that an ability of this level can be maintained in this world.\\nEven fighting and using Noble Phantasms can be carried out without relying on the support of the Master... The King of Heroes is very satisfied with this, so he There is no need to worry about Tokiomi’s wishes at all, so we can often see him strutting around Fuyuki City. Tokiomi, who has never established a magic circuit with his Servant, has no way of knowing where his Servant is doing.

To Tokiomi, who was not interested in anything other than his own world, why on earth did the man as the King of Heroes become so immersed in a popular pursuit like walking? He couldn't understand it at all.

"Forget it, just leave these things to Kirei for now - everything is going according to plan now."

Tokiomi smiled slightly while looking through the window at the courtyard downstairs. Around the body of Assassin who sneaked in, the sand and rocks splashed up due to excessive attacks were scattered and piled up, presenting a scene that was even more tragic than a bomb explosion.
