Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 50 The Impending Crisis

Fuyuki City Cathedral Church.

Crispy toast, a sandwich with rich ingredients and a glass of fresh milk, this is the breakfast of the Kotomine family today.

Although it looked a bit simple, Kamiya Yu still ate it with gusto.

"A delicious breakfast, thank you for the treat."

After finishing the breakfast on the plate, Kamiya Yu clasped his hands together and said with satisfaction.

"Well, as long as you are satisfied."

At the dining table, Kotomine Risei said with a smile.

Beside him, Sakura and Kallen had almost finished eating. After the morning exercise, the two hungry little ones naturally would not be picky about food.

"By the way, Xiaoyou, how did things go last night?"

After everyone finished breakfast, Kotomine Rizheng looked up at Kamiya Yu and asked meaningfully.

Regarding the Holy Grail War, he did not avoid telling Sakura and Kallen, but told them to their faces.

After all, they are all children of magicians or church priests. They will know these things sooner or later, so there is no need to hide them.

"Archer, commanded by Tokiomi, has already left the battlefield. Saber of the Einzbern family was severely injured by a surprise attack from Berserker. Her life or death is unknown."

Kamiya Yu said softly after briefly summarizing last night's experience.

To be honest, the battle last night was really dangerous, whether it was facing the full-fire Zhenshen Shan or being suddenly attacked by Berserker.

If he hadn't made many preparations in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to return so safely.

"I see. I didn't expect Tokiomi to be the second Master to be eliminated. It seems that the Tōsaka family's long-cherished wish will be dashed again in this Holy Grail War..."

Kotomine Risho sighed slightly. He and Tokiomi's long-deceased grandfather were close friends, and he understood the Tohsaka family's desire to pursue their roots.

When he heard that Tōsaka Tokiomi had failed and had to leave the stage, he naturally felt a little regretful.

But now that things have come to this, he has no extra thoughts and can only sigh that the Tohsaka family has bad luck.

"However, it may not be a bad thing for Tokiomi to leave now." As if thinking of something, Kotomine Lizheng shook his head and said gently, "At least you two don't have to fight each other to death anymore."

As an elder who had watched Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kamiya Yu grow up, the old priest did not want to see them fighting each other for the Holy Grail.

If possible, he hopes that Kamiya Yuya can give up his status as a Master and withdraw from the dangerous Holy Grail War.

But unfortunately, this is not possible.

Since he was chosen as the Master by the Holy Grail, this child must have a wish that he wants to fulfill.

But the magician's obsession is not something he can dissuade.

Thinking of this, Kotomine Risei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After calming down his complicated emotions, he continued, "I hope this Holy Grail War can end soon."

"Because of the Holy Grail, this city has suffered too much unnecessary damage."

"Please rest assured, this dispute will soon be over." Kamiya Yu smiled slightly, "Besides, there won't be a final winner."

"Hmm? Xiaoyou, why do you say that?"

Hearing his words, Yan Fengli frowned and asked in confusion.

"Because during the Third Holy Grail War, the Greater Holy Grail was contaminated by a Servant who shouldn't have been there."

"...You mean the Servant that was illegally summoned by the Einzbern family?"

As the supervisor of the last Holy Grail War, Kotomine Risho was deeply impressed by the Avenger Angra Mainyu who appeared in the middle of the war.

Therefore, the old priest immediately thought of its existence. "Indeed, I went to investigate the large underground cavity where the Greater Holy Grail is hidden a few days ago, and the situation is not optimistic." Kamiya Yu nodded gently and explained in detail, "As for the disaster I told you about six months ago, it was also caused by this."

"The contaminated Holy Grail has lost its ability to grant wishes and will only bring harm to the world."

"And I am participating in this Holy Grail War to prevent this disaster from happening."

"I never thought the Holy Grail War would turn out like this..."

Hearing this, a complicated expression appeared on Kotomine Risho's aging face, and he whispered in disbelief.

After a long while, the old priest's eyes became firm, as if he had made a decision.

The next moment, he rolled up the sleeve of his right monk's robe, revealing his old and thin arm, which was densely covered with tattoos from elbow to wrist - those were the most important Command Seals for the Master.

Just a cursory glance would reveal that there were no less than twenty Command Seals on Kotomine Risei's arms.

"Uncle Risei, what are you doing?" Seeing this scene, Kamiya Yu showed an appropriately surprised expression.

"These were recovered from the Holy Grail War of the past and entrusted to me, the current Overseer, for safekeeping. They are Command Seals left behind by the failed Masters of the past."

Yanfeng Lizheng took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Since Fuyuki City is about to face a disaster, I naturally cannot sit idly by." Kotomine Risei paused for a moment and looked Kamiya Yuu in the eyes with a serious look, "But I am already old and can't withstand too much trouble."

"So, I can only ask you, Xiaoyou..."

…………

At the same time, in the underground insect warehouse of the Matou family.

"Susu-"

Countless insects were crawling on the cold ground, forming a sea of ​​insects that made one's scalp tingle.

If someone stood at the entrance of the basement and looked down at this time, they would find a child with a blue seaweed head in the center of the swarm.

However, the child surrounded by insects did not show any fear, but instead seemed to be enjoying it.

The slender engraving worm seemed to be able to penetrate every hole in his body, drilling into his tiny body from all corners.

Then, follow the blood vessels and nerves to fill the severely damaged magic circuits.

"...It was such a good opportunity last night, but it was still a shame that we fell through."

After a moment, Matou Zouken suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and said with some regret.

"Not only did he fail to kill any of the Servant, he even exposed his own existence."

"It seems that the chances of winning this Holy Grail War are slim."

Lying in the sea of ​​insects, Zouken Matou looked at the dim ceiling above his head, his dim eyes flashing with a hint of thought.

Since the previous action failed, he had to consider a new plan.

This time, Zouken Matou's target is Kamiya Yu. As long as he can get his body, winning the next Holy Grail War will be a sure thing.

"We only have one chance. We must get the body of that kid from the Kamiya family before the Holy Grail War ends!"

There was a look of madness in Matou Zouken's eyes. After five hundred years of corrosion, his strength was no longer what it used to be.

If he were to face Kamiya Yu directly, he would have no chance of winning at all.

Facing a magus who could fight Servants, Zouken Matou could only rely on the power of Berserker.
