Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Tohsaka Rin sprinkled the last bit of gem powder on his hand.

She was in the basement of a rented residence, looking at the magnificent magic circle in front of her, and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

"It's done. The spiritual veins are gradually becoming active. There is nothing wrong with spending a lot of money to book this villa."

Although Roland often laughed at her for becoming unreliable at critical moments, Tohsaka Rin firmly believed that it was just an accident caused by ignorance of world affairs and bad luck when she was young. As long as she made more preparations, She can make up for these shortcomings with all the power she can hold, as well as the amazing wisdom honed in the cruel war with Ishtar.

"In this Holy Grail War, because the news was announced relatively suddenly, I should be the only one who has real experience in the competition. Without further ado, let's start the summons immediately."

According to orthodox rituals, the time and order of summons at the beginning of the Holy Grail War are within a certain limit. Once summoned in advance, it will create an unnecessary burden on the Master. For those who have staked everything in this war, To Tohsaka Rin, this action seemed very unwise.

But this is also relative. If she can find the right time that she can bear, it means that she will definitely be able to help her servants obtain the desired rank.

There is nothing wrong with this choice... If the great hero really comes like last time, I will only be the victor!

Tohsaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took out his sacred relic. Although he had seen it many times, lying in the carefully woven silk brocade still made people feel majestic and dazzling, as if The scabbard looked like a handicraft, and the girl still let out a small exclamation.

Although for this holy relic, she mortgaged all the real estate of the Tohsaka family to Roland and even gave up the management rights, which was a huge price to pay, but during these ten years of getting along, due to the decline of the family business, Not to mention repaying the money, even the balance of income and expenditure of magic practice can only be said to be barely maintained. Tohsaka Rin has long been accustomed to begging Roland for another year to extend his daily life to repay the money.

Kirei and Medea were originally assisting her in managing the Fuyuki City's spiritual land. After she went to study abroad in the Clock Tower, she would have to hand it over to them. Anyway, there was no difference.

This is the so-called debt, but if you lose this time, you may not even have the money for the air ticket to London, and you will have to go to him for help...

No—you can’t think about such a thing now!

Tohsaka Rin patted his cheek until he calmed down again.

Although judging from the fate she formed last time, she can definitely summon Ishtar. Although she has some criticisms about the character of the Venus goddess Tohsaka Rin, there is no doubt about her strength. If it weren't for her, There was absolutely no way that he could survive so leisurely to the end in the last Holy Grail War.

But as Tohsaka Rin, who has been close to Ishtar throughout the Holy Grail War, he knows that the other party may be the most suitable choice for him, but it is by no means the best.

To win, you have to be a little more aggressive.

Although Ishtar is outstanding, both her Noble Phantasm and her normal damage output are exceptional, but it is an indisputable fact that the opponent is very expensive to fight. What's more, she has no means to reverse a crisis that she cannot resist. .

Although I don’t want to speculate on the origin of this Holy Grail War with malicious intent, the entire system has been reconstructed in just ten years, and the style is still very different from before. For Tohsaka Rin, who knows the inside story, all this seems too much. It's suspicious.

It’s just that the location has become a mixed bag of Tokyo, and even the shape of the command spell has changed drastically. The most important thing is that in the division of the Holy Grail, she is the fifth-level Angel of Power.

Tohsaka Rin is very clear about how outstanding her qualifications are. Her ability to always maintain that elegant and confident posture largely comes from this confidence.

Even though she was born into the dilapidated Tosaka family and spent most of her time relying on self-study to understand magic, Rin Tosaka did not think that her future achievements would be inferior to those of the Lord of the Clock Tower. This pride has long been deeply engraved in the girl's heart. .

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how incredible she felt when she found out that her strength was considered by the Holy Grail to be only the lowest among the masters this time.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not humans who made this weird judgment but the Holy Grail system as a miracle itself, Tohsaka Rin would have doubted whether this was an own mistake.

She is only fifth, what kind of existence is the first-level Seraph? Is it the legendary magician, or the same monster as last time?

For this reason, she must also have a heroic spirit who can turn the tide, and in the girl's mind, there is no better choice than King Arthur.

Strong, loyal, and gentle, as long as he signs a contract, he will always stand with his master. Not only does he not have to worry about the possibility of being backstabbed by him, but if the situation of the Holy Grail War gets out of control, he also has the ability to Cut off all evil, backed by the final word of the Holy Sword.

Then, the girl raised her hand without hesitation, and declared in a clear and crisp voice, reciting a mantra that seemed to be a curse to everything, but also a blessing to herself.

The magic evoked by the spell turned into a violent wind, constantly surging in the room, and constantly stirring in the magic circuit. The flowing magic inevitably made Tohsaka Rin's emotions swell.

The gem powder storing magic power ignited with a faint blue flame, and the flow of magic power in Tohsaka Rin's body suddenly accelerated. At this speed, I'm afraid she will be drained before the ceremony is completed. .

There is no record of this situation in the Tosaka family's classics. How could this happen? Just like last time, did the karma regarding the catalyst cause any disturbance?

The coldness and pain in her body caused Tohsaka Rin to have uncontrollable thoughts, but soon the girl regained her composure.

Impossible. Using this scabbard as a catalyst, even if you want to summon an existence other than King Arthur, it is impossible. It must be because of the impact of early summoning.

Although her character is occasionally a little out of line, unlike Tosaka Tokiomi, Tosaka Rin's elegance and calmness are innate, and her tenacity will bloom the more she encounters difficulties. Shine a dazzling light.

Tohsaka Rin, who had already made a plan, quickly grasped the gem on his chest, turned the magic power accumulated in the past ten years into a solid backing, and tenaciously resisted the pressure from the magic circle.

Gradually, when the shining tiny lightning replaced the quiescent wind, and a misty white mist lingered between the collisions in the air, Tohsaka Rin was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

"Success!"

The figure appearing in the white mist exudes an overwhelming presence like a storm or a glow.

You only need to see the other person to understand that it is a noble existence that is above fantasy.

——No, you need to confirm again.

Tohsaka Rin suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath.

"Saber, your real name is Arthur Pendragon!"

"Indeed," came a clear and cold voice from the white mist that began to dissipate, "May I ask, are you my Master?"

Won!

Although the voice seemed a bit soft and distorted compared to the sunny and cheerful timbre in her memory, since the servants had personally admitted it, she naturally had no doubts anymore.

This time the chain failure has been solved by my own plan, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore!

"Yes, I am your Master, Saber! This Holy Grail War will definitely be our victory..."

Rin Tosaka clenched his fists, resisting the urge to cheer, trying hard to maintain his image as a reliable master.

But looking at the heroic girl who was petite but staring at him with emerald eyes against the background of the pale knight's attire, she didn't even finish her words, the expression on her face was one step ahead. Stiffened.

——

Ayaka Sajo looked at the dozens of clingy white pigeons gathered at her feet, and she squatted down obediently and stayed in the corner with the pigeons, as if she wanted to save some space for the girl in the garden center.

"Ayaka, you don't have to be so far away," Sajo Aige blinked her aqua eyes and said with a half-smile: "It's just a Holy Grail War, and it's on the same level as the morning cooking practice. There’s no need to care so much.”

The voice of Shatiao's love song is clear and hearty, just like flowers that never wither and are spotless.

That innocent and innocent expression allowed Sajo Ayaka to clearly see her sister's sincerity.

The so-called Holy Grail War is the same thing as cooking in the eyes of Sajo Aige. Ayaka admired her sister's confident attitude from the bottom of her heart, but she was still very self-aware and firmly shook her head and rejected Sajo Aige's offer. invite.

What is very simple for my sister, I may not be able to do in my lifetime.

Seeing Ayaka's movements, Sajo Aige didn't pay attention. Just like flowers covered with morning dew, they swayed gently in the wind in this small garden, and the emerald-colored skirt also resembled flower buds as they rotated. Blooming.

Looking at her sister who looked like a fairy who stepped out of a fairy tale, shining brightly even when dancing alone, the look of admiration on Sajo Ayaka's face grew even stronger.

"Preparations for the summons have been completed."

Shatiao Aige smiled slightly and looked at her feet. The tracks left by her slender toes as they crossed the garden land had formed the shape of a magic circle.

There are not even materials used to transmit magic power and form the basis of the ritual array. In the eyes of any magician, this ritual array is like child's play. Even a simple ritual array made of poultry blood cannot be more formal than this. went.

But for Shatiao Aige, this is all preparation.

"Now that the first heroic spirit has appeared, it's time for me to work hard."

She snapped her fingers, and with this movement, there was no altar, no material, and no environment. It would simply make the knowledgeable bystanders burst into rages, and ask sternly, "Do you treat the Holy Grail War as a game?" However, the ritual formation still lit up with a dim light.

"Let's see, who should I choose?"

There was not even a formal chant, the girl showed an innocent expression, slightly shook her slender fingers, and whispered in distress.

Sajo Aige did not add any extra constraints to this Holy Grail War. Although there were still seven servants and the same old ranks, it was allowed by the rules to summon people outside of these.

The rules that were originally added on a whim to make this ceremony more gorgeous were now truly returned to her.

For the princess of the root, the existence of holy relics is unnecessary. As long as there are still heroic spirits that can be summoned, she can summon them. Even if the servant resists the summoning itself, she cannot prevent this action from being completed.

Whether it's a realm record tape or a restraint, she can only let it go in front of the power she possesses.

But this kind of worry about happiness is not a big or small trouble for Shajo Aige.

She is indeed an omniscient and omnipotent existence, able to freely judge the strengths and weaknesses of the heroic spirits, but as a girl, she has just been born.

When Roland was involved, everything in the world was full of surprises and unknowns for Shajo Aige. While this brought her happiness, it also made her less observant of the future, which was originally the absolute future. She is blind and will always choose the correct answer, but now, her eyes are filled with thousands of possibilities.

"Should I summon a more powerful one, or should I choose a heroic spirit outside the specifications that would make the world more interesting... Well, it's better to be more powerful. After all, I still need to eliminate some combinations quickly."

"It seems that it is a good choice to find people from things that have deviated from the trajectory of human nature and have been abandoned, but it still feels a bit wrong."

Shatiao Aige's expression gradually changed, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned to look at the young girl huddled among the pigeons next to him.

"Ayakashi, what do you think? If you have to choose a sacrifice, what do you think is the better standard?"

After being pointed out, Sajo Ayaka stared dumbly at the still bright ritual formation. Not only did she not have to concentrate when performing the technique, she also had the time to chat with her. Is this the level of her sister?

However, Sajo Ayaka, who was rarely asked by her sister, also started thinking quickly.

If it were for other things, she might not be able to provide any help to her sister, but if it was about sacrifices, that would be another story.

The black magic passed down from the Sajo family relies on the pain of sacrifices as the source of power. Because Sajo's love song does not need to be taught by others, Ayaka receives the true inheritance from her father most of the time.

Sajo Hiroki has emphasized to her countless times that she cannot resonate with the sacrifice, otherwise the hesitation and confusion caused by it will only harm herself as a magician.

Ayaka also wanted to respond to her father's expectations, but she just couldn't do it.

Sajo Ayaka looked at the white pigeon that was still pecking at the toe of her shoe, and sighed softly. She obviously decided to kill one with her own hands every time, but she never did it. Instead, it was because of the accumulated feeding. , these pigeons that were supposed to be sacrifices became closer and closer to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Sajo Ayaka said anxiously.

"If you have to choose a sacrifice, the best choice would be one that would not be a pity if you throw it away, but is also very obedient."

"It's a pity that it's unnecessary to throw it away. It's just a sacrifice anyway." Sajo Aige, who couldn't understand his sister's hesitation, said cruel words in a gentle voice, "But you care more about being obedient. ?"

"That's right..."

I don't know what came to mind, but Shajo Aige showed a cheerful expression.

"If you think about it carefully, there is indeed a lot of trouble. In order to avoid losing control, it is better to choose someone who is not easy to lose control. If you think carefully, it is best to be stronger. At least there must be a guy who can encounter troublesome people and can also pose a threat. ability, then it’s up to you.”

After the dazzling bright light flashed, the mere existence seemed to dye the surrounding space with a layer of brilliance, and a towering male figure appeared in the center of the summoning array.

He had white hair as transparent as snow, and his whole body was as hot as the sun. His sharp eyes glanced around, and finally settled on Shajo Aige.

After realizing what kind of existence the girl herself was, the great hero, as the incarnation of the ultimate light, bowed his head respectfully towards Sajo Aige.

Although he is also an important hero in the Mahabharata where there are many heroes, he never thinks that this is anything great, and he will not show an arrogant attitude because of it. What's more, even if he is a noble The existence, in front of the girl, should put away its own glory and show respect.

"So, you are the son of the Sun God and the great hero who gives alms, Karna?"

Although she already knew the strength and origin of the opponent, Shajo Aige still stared at the thin and gorgeous golden armor curiously, and asked curiously.

"Exactly, Princess of the World, as long as it is your will, no matter what the order is, I will obey it."

"It's really reliable. The spiritual core is also exceptional. Oh...no, we seem to be fighting the Holy Grail War now. It's safer to use a proxy name."

"Just what you expect."

Karna was about to ask for the next order, but found that Shajo Aige suddenly turned his head and looked at the sky on the other side.

And following his six senses that transcended the conventional as a warrior, Karna also understood the reason why Shajo Aige was looking that way.

Someone who transcends the boundaries and transcends the rules of existence of a Servant has arrived.

"Crown..."

Shajo Aige murmured and turned to look at Karna.

"If this is your wish, in the name of Surya, I will go all out. No matter what kind of enemy, I will not be afraid."

Karna responded softly to his master, as if to increase the credibility of his words. A golden light appeared from the void and penetrated his left hand - it was like a crescent moon, shining with fantasy. Glorious God-given treasure.

Seeing Karna's attitude, Shajo Aige also nodded with satisfaction.

"The rest of the battle will be all left to you. You want me to simply defeat those ignorant obstacles, Archer?"

——

The colorless pressure ravaged the surrounding atmosphere wantonly, but it was the surrounding mystery that collapsed first compared to the real matter.

No, it is definitely not appropriate to describe it as collapse, because they are just beginning to transform towards the high-dimensional posture of the past. The true ether that is so rich that it makes people uncomfortable fills the entire room. For ordinary magicians, here and There is no difference in the magma-filled hell, because their fragile bodies will only be easily burned, and even breathing is a luxury for them.

At this moment, the environment of this closed room is no less than that of the narrow slit inside the world.

In the center of the storm, Roland calmly rubbed the ring in his hand, his scarlet eyes flashing with a different kind of light, as if his sight had penetrated the center of the storm and saw the existence behind the wall between reality and fantasy.

He did not make any extra moves, because the coming ceremony had been completed, and a strong, dazzling fire-like magic source had appeared in the center of the ritual array. The changes in the surrounding environment were due to his handwriting.

When it first arrived, it carried a rhythm as heavy as mercury. Even the fantasy species did not have such outstanding power.

Finally, in Roland's expectant eyes, the tall figure appeared in the center of the rotating light and shadow.

He has brown skin, pale hair tied in a single ponytail on his chest, and wears complicated and noble royal robes. His expression is slightly solemn, but his eyes are neither sad nor happy, and he cannot see any unnecessary emotions, as if he is just a man. It's like a machine, but even so, it can't cover up the innate sense of majesty in him.

But compared to these superfluous features, Roland's eyes were involuntarily attracted by another thing. On this figure's hand, there was something that looked exactly like the simple ring on his hand.

The only difference is the difference in quantity.

There are golden rings on all ten fingers of this figure, without exception.
