The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 137: Unexpected Intrusion into Chaldea
"What an ingenious structure. Sure enough, it would be best if I needed the Holy Grail?"

The cave no longer looked like a stone wall. After cracking the last information given by Paracelsus, Dark successfully deceived and cracked the surveillance camera left by Semiramis.

Everything is covered with something like fungal mats, and there are protruding eyeball-like crystals on the surface that are used to emit light.

This was a spontaneous change that was not controlled. Dark believed that this might be due to the influence of the demon god Barbatos.

The evil hidden in the bloodline is really everywhere, and it will continue to subtly restrict the thinking of future generations.

"?"

Standing next to the Holy Grail, Dark discovered that there were some inexplicable and incomprehensible abnormal conditions around him.

There was something unusual about the light of the Greater Holy Grail.

The affected…

Is it space?
Or time?

Maybe neither?
"puff"

Three figures suddenly appeared and fell to the ground.

"...This outfit...Chaldea? Eggplant?"

Dark didn't react immediately to the other two figures, but he was impressed by the figure in purple armor.

Not to mention the armor that looks like sexy lingerie, the big shield that looks like a dining table proves her identity.

The Fujimaru Ritsuka who fell down was a man just like in the anime, but he didn't show the eroticism of the Chaldea uniform.

To be honest, Dake actually has no idea who designed the two belts on his chest that make his breasts stand out so much.

This was definitely intentional, as the men's suit only had one belt.

As for who the other one will be?

Dak didn't understand.

Some paws...

Chaldea was able to travel through time and space to come here, and there are so many possibilities contained in it. What exactly it means is a question worth pondering.

For example, could it be possible that this world with the existence of Dead Apostles was also being incinerated by Goetia?

Or did the alien god do something similar?
Or will some inexplicable guy jump out and wreak havoc on the world?
Or...wait.

For this reason, Dak did not take direct action.

Of course, there are other factors.

Like a strange bad feeling.

"Fu!"

The thing that Dark felt was unusual was Mashu's shield, and what appeared inside was also within his expectations.

A cute animal with white fur that looks like a cat or a squirrel.

She is called Fufu in Chaldea, and her real name is Casey Palug.

Also known as the Primate Killer, the "fourth beast" possesses the original sin of "comparison".

Beings of the same level as "Demon King" Goetia, "Demonic Bodhisattva" Kiara Sesshōin + "God of Love" Kama, and "God of Creation" Tiamat.

Although it currently appears in its juvenile form as Mashu's pet, but... who knows how powerful this thing can really be.

By the way, is this the highest combat power of Fujimaru Ritsuka's side?
Unlike her usual leisurely appearance, Fu Fu confronted Dake with caution like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Tsk, trouble."

Dak was a little distressed, but at the same time he completely restrained his malice - "People have a spiritual inner self, which is the accumulation of past memories, the illusion of desire and fantasy, and the re-enactment of life.

It is a world made up of the self and what I think are countless selves. It exists only within, and is a world made up of the human mind, memory, spirit, and, in other words, many personalities.”

I was convinced of this the moment I saw him (Fujimaru Ritsuka).

So... I'll just store my information in there, right?

In this case, we can sneak across, right?

But you should be careful about things that might anger Fu Fu.

What should I do next?

.........

"..."

"here it is……?"

My consciousness is a little hazy.

"Alert, abnormal singularity fluctuations have been detected. The deviation value is difficult to measure by human nature, and the scale is simply incomprehensible."

"Damn it, can't let this go."

"Thank you, Fujimaru."

"I see, doctor."

"Senior, wait for me!"

"Fu!"

"The location of the analysis is Fuyuki City, and the timeline is... November 1994!!!!"

"Why is it there!?"

"What happened in Fuyuki at this time?"

The last thing in Fujimaru Ritsuka's memory was the noisy sound in the control room.

"Roman! Stop it!"

"Damn it, I can't stop!"

"Then I'll go along. I know that place well. At this point in time, it should be the Holy Grail War in my world.

Shit, my stomach hurts.

Why would you go there? "

"Please, II."

This is how it ended.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gradually wakes up...

This is...where?
What you see is a huge hole.

“Matthew!!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka ran forward, and the distance between them was a little far.

"Senior..." With the efforts of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu slowly woke up.

By the way, isn't he worthy of being the crown master who beat Uncle B in carrying a heavy load? He actually woke up earlier than the two sub-servants.

“Hey, hey, hey, it’s fine for the young couple to just barge into other people’s homes and show off their affection, but at least look over here.

Could you please take your pet back and discipline it?
Also, the office worker on the ground over there should stop pretending to be unconscious." Dak said unhappily. After being seen by Fufu in his true appearance, Dak no longer had any idea of ​​pretending.

"Tsk." After his true situation was discovered, El-Melloi II climbed up helplessly.

To be honest, this unusual development made him a bit stressed, especially the appearance of the short and fat guy opposite him.

If I remember correctly, it was Matou Shinji...

El-Melloi II took out a cigarette and lit it, then shook his fingers.

As for the information about the Holy Grail War, he had collected a lot of data after inheriting the El-Melloi Classroom.

Naturally, this includes personnel information of the three major families.

However, no matter what information it is, there is no information that Shinji Matou can grow two horns on his head!

And this tone and voice...is that Matou Zouken?
Isn't he a loser who has no talent for magic and is even worse than me!

What kind of weird singularity did this bastard soul transfer to again!!!

El-Melloi II exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"Fu!" Seeing that the three of them had returned to normal, Fufu no longer paid attention to Dark, ran to Mashu's side, and climbed onto his shoulders. If Dark's aura had not been too abnormal and full of malice, Fufu would not have helped him!

"Hello, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He is a Master from Chaldea.

This one is Mashu, and that one is the Chinese hero, Zhuge Kongming.

And this, Fufu." After calming down, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the master, introduced it. Not a single word he said was false, but it was a little incomplete.

"Just say it like that, okay?
Well, forget it.

Hello, my name is Matou Shinji." Dark thought about the information about Fujimaru Ritsuka's character and felt that there was nothing wrong with this direct attitude.

But there is no complete trust.

"Can you please tell me where this place is?" asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"O magician who came from far away Chaldea!
Are you trying to say you didn't come here for the almighty Holy Grail?"

Dak narrowed his eyes and pointed behind everyone. The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense.

"Holy Grail? What?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked puzzled. Isn't the Holy Grail made by Magic King Solomon a great source of magic power? What is this?
“Stop telling such jokes.

What is the Matou family, one of the three major families in the Holy Grail War, planning to do in the location of the Greater Holy Grail? "Based on the information revealed in Dark's words, El-Melloi II planned to trick him.

With the ghostly looks around here, who would believe that nothing has been done?

If I am mistaken for a contestant who came here, then I have the right to question him.

"What did the people from Chaldea who came in unexpectedly know?

Why can't it be that we, as organizers, are simply maintaining the Holy Grail's systems?
This is the Fourth Holy Grail War after all.

It's normal to do some conditioning, right?" Dak really wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back.

It is really interesting to pretend that you don't know the problem even though you know it, and to talk to others as if they think you don't know it.

Pleasure.

“…” You need to consider how to answer.

Difficult, that's what El-Melloi II thought. He had no emotions at all, he didn't look like a child at all, and the children of magicians weren't that weird.

This kind of rhetorical answer shows that you don't want to continue on that issue.

He doesn't look like a child...I think it should be Matou Zouken.

El-Melloi II remembered some information about the great sorcerer Matou Zouken.

For example, taking over the bodies of offspring to extend lifespan.

"No, we don't know the details about the Holy Grail War that took place here," replied Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He just said he didn't know the details, not that he knew nothing.

The degree here is the best range of depth for conversation.

Setbacks make people grow, and not many people have experienced more setbacks than Ritsuka Fujimaru.

"If you want to join this Holy Grail War, then go ahead.

If you win, make a wish and get the Holy Grail you want." Dark looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully and then said.

When will I find an opportunity to do something dirty?
This child is a treasure!

The final master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, is special.

It is worth investing in first.

"Can we participate too? Is it true that the quota for the Holy Grail War has not been filled yet?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the back of his right hand, where the Command Seal was.

Well done, Fujimaru! Anyway, let's gather intelligence and test the bottom line first, El-Melloi II thought to himself.

The Holy Grail War here seems to be different from what was expected. The previous intelligence can only be used as a reference and should not be taken seriously.

"Quota? It doesn't really matter.

The reason why there are seven heroic spirits is because only seven spirit bases were made. As long as they are the final winners, it doesn’t matter who they are. ”Dak said casually.

Rules? There are a few rules in the Holy Grail War.

hehe →_→

"Then could you please tell me about the current situation? After all, I'm a little late."

The person who has been in charge of negotiating with Dark is Fujimaru Ritsuka. As the last master of Chaldea, he basically spends his rest time in Chaldea on various trainings.

This includes diplomacy.

"Of course." Dak's eyes were full of smiles. This was what made it interesting.

I'm curious about what kind of impact this drastic change in the Holy Grail War will have on them.

“Saber Siegfried, the Master is Emiya Kiritsugu, but in public she is his wife, and Irisviel is the Master.

Lancer Karna, Master Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

Archer Gilgamesh, whose original master was Tōsaka Tokiomi, and whose current master is Kotomine Kirei.

Rider Iskandar, Master Waver Velvet.

Berserker Lancelot, the original master was Matou Shinji, that is, me. The current master is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

As for Caster and Assassin, they have already left the stage, so it doesn’t matter.”

Dark said, his attention focused on El-Melloi II, the adult Waver Velvet.

Although Weber's expression did not change, Dark could still sense how confused he was inside.

Only when I heard the word "rider" did I feel a little happy.

As for why he didn't hide his own information, Dak thought it was unnecessary.

"Um, can I ask why you gave up participating in the Holy Grail War?" asked Fujimaru Ritsuka, obviously he noticed the change in the ownership of the berserker.

"It's nothing, just some price, after all..." Dak said casually before he finished speaking.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Hey, hey!"

This is a voice coming from the air.

Then a screen of light unfolded in the air, revealing a pink-haired man.

“Heh…” Dark was certain that it was before the attack on the Temple of Time. The man in front of him was called Roman Akiman, his true form being the Magic King Solomon, and he was also one of the necessary conditions to defeat the Demon King.

“Tsk…” El-Melloi II was somewhat dissatisfied with the timing of Roman’s interruption.

"Can you hear me, Fujimaru?

What's the situation over there?
We have detected an extremely large source of information interference, and it is difficult for me to connect to you!" Roman said anxiously.

"Magician in the distance, is this okay?" Dark took the initiative to suppress the chaotic magical fluctuations around him, while strengthening the signal connection between Ritsuka Fujimaru and his group and Chaldea.

With Saya as the biological computing host, these things are not difficult for Dark.

"Hey! The signal is suddenly good. Ding ding ding, Da Vinci appears!" The image of a woman appeared in the projection.

It turned out to be the big bitch profiteer Da Vinci.

"Fu!" Fu Fu waved her claws at Da Vinci.

"Hello to you too! Fu Fu." Da Vinci smiled.

"It's unbelievable, is this the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki? It's so huge that it's hard to measure." said Da Vinci.

Obviously, before the signal is connected, Chaldea can actively receive information from this side.

As for the information related to the Holy Grail War, it was normal for Da Vinci to know it. Although he died before the Holy Grail was established, after all, the former director of Chaldea was also a contestant and a winner, so he must have investigated it.

"Winter Saint Justisa becomes the Holy Grail's core, Machiri Zorgen provides the technology, and Tousaka Nagato provides the venue.

This is the ritual called the Holy Grail War." Dark said.

"His long-cherished wish..." Da Vinci was silent for a while. She still remembered her righteous partner Machirizorgen when she was young.

I don't know how much I have gone through to achieve my lofty ideal, but I still haven't succeeded.

Using Fujimaru Ritsuka’s abandoned hole to sneak across… should that be possible?

I don’t know what will happen to Fujimaru in FGO later?
