Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After all, given the strength of their opponents, it would be impossible to defeat them quickly without a suitable opportunity. If the situation drags on and other Servants arrive, things will become more complicated...

In particular, there are a few madmen in this Holy Grail War who seem to completely disregard the magical world's consensus that "mysteries must be kept secret," and dare to make moves no matter where they are...

Therefore, without absolute certainty of victory, the Masters would likely not act rashly.

While Kiritsugu Emiya and others were diligently gathering intelligence and devising plans, Fang Rui and his team moved their base to Mount Enzo.

Kariya Matou seeks advice from the head priest of Ryudouji Temple on raising daughters, Mordred plays with Sakura, Fang Rui studies the Holy Grail, and Tamamo-no-Mae helps out...

Perhaps because his intentions were too obvious, the black mud inside the Holy Grail seemed to sense something and kept interfering while Fang Rui was studying the Holy Grail.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal; the small interference was practically negligible for Fang Rui.

A day later, the research on the Holy Grail came to an end. Fang Rui was now able to use the Holy Grail to create some basic special materials, free from the interference of the black mud...

Another day later, fueled by Mordred's instigation, several Servants clashed again, but this time the battle took place within Iskandar's Reality Marble, therefore...

The Servants showed no intention of holding back, going all out from the start, with various Noble Phantasms, colorful light beams, and magic bullets flying everywhere...

He charged through a field of tens of thousands of soldiers, demonstrating with his actions what it means to "fight ten thousand men single-handedly."

Iskandar: "…………" Why does this feel like "I am the Demon King, and the rest of you are warriors who are going to defeat the Demon King"?

at the same time……

The magicians who were not caught up in the fixed barrier, except for Waver whose strength was negligible, did not hide in the magic workshop waiting for news, but chose to take the initiative, showing confidence.

Kirei Kotomine led his Assassin clones straight to Einzbern Castle, while the remaining clones searched for other Masters and waited for an opportunity to strike.

According to Tokiomi Tohsaka's plan, since Assassin's clone skill is so great, it should naturally be put to use. One clone will be sent to the Servant battlefield to make a cameo appearance, while the other clones will hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the other Masters.

after all……

No matter how weak a Servant is, they are still a Servant.

Furthermore, Assassin is a Servant specializing in assassination; is there a problem with assassinating a magician?!

Of course, no problem!

Thinking this to himself, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly stopped, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He stared at the familiar figure emerging from the alley and said in a cold tone, "So it really is you, Master of the Matou family! Kariya!"

"You've already given up on the demonic path, why have you come back?!"

Matou Kariya stood in the shadows of the building, his face grim. He stared at Tohsaka Tokiomi for a moment, his tone laced with murderous intent: "Why did I come back? Heh..."

His response was a mocking laugh, and anger burned within him.

"Tokiomi, why did you give Sakura to the Matou family for adoption?!"

An angry roar echoed through the quiet street. Looking at Matou Kariya's furious face, Tokiomi Tohsaka remained calm: "Of course it's because of Sakura's talent. It would be a waste of her magical talent if she didn't become a magician."

"...Just because of this?!" Matou Kariya looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi in disbelief. The anger in his heart was now covered by another indescribable emotion, making him very calm.

Sakura actually fell into hell for this reason, it's truly...

I'm furious!!!

Matou Kariya stretched his shoulders, his face contorted in a grimace, and took heavy steps as he gradually approached Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"I won't be satisfied until I beat you up!"

"Where do you get the confidence to think that..."

The wooden staff struck the ground heavily, the ruby ​​on the handle shimmering faintly, and fireballs appeared beside him, hovering in the air...

"...You can beat me?!"

As the last word was uttered, fireballs shot out like cannonballs, leaving trails of crimson flame in the air.

"My confidence..."

Matou Kariya suddenly bent down, like a cheetah poised to pounce, his eyes still gleaming with ferocity as he shattered the hard pavement and shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

"It naturally stems from (Fang Rui's) strength!!!"

A pale blue light enveloped Matou Kariya's entire body, and the surfaces of his hands and legs were covered with circuit diagram-like patterns, which was an enhancement magic.

Charging straight forward, using her energy shield to withstand the fireball's bombardment, Matou Kariya instantly appeared in front of Tohsaka Tokiomi, her fist covered in circuit diagrams landing on Tohsaka Tokiomi's left cheek.

The powerful punch stunned Tokiomi Tohsaka, his face contorted in pain, and he spat out broken teeth. He was pulled to one side by a force, then spun away...

dong dong dong...

The impact of flesh against the concrete pavement produced a dull thud that echoed through the empty street.

Instead of pressing his advantage, Matou Kariya stared in astonishment at his own fist, somewhat speechless and confused...

Tokiomi always boasts about how amazing the Tohsaka family's technology is, but...

That's it? !

One punch KO!

That's way too weak!

Weren't you supposed to be really good?! Or maybe you just didn't learn it properly?

While mentally complaining, Matou Kariya turned his gaze to Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was lying motionless on the ground, and an idea popped into his mind.

A magician of such stature, he wouldn't be knocked out by a single punch... would he?

With a somewhat subtle expression, Matou Kariya glanced down at his equipment for a moment, concluding that there was no need to worry about a sneak attack, and then confidently stepped forward, arriving beside Tohsaka Tokiomi...

Before he could check whether Tokiomi Tohsaka had passed out, several dark figures suddenly appeared around him, wielding daggers or similar weapons and lunging at him.

'Is it Assassin?'

Even as he witnessed the dagger hurtling towards him, Matou Kariya remained remarkably calm. This was partly due to his trust in the tool provided by Fang Rui, and partly because... even if he wanted to dodge now, it would be too late.

next second...

Ding--

A crisp sound echoed in his ears. Matou Kariya looked down at the dagger blocked by the energy shield and mentally gave Fang Rui a thumbs up: As expected of Mr. Fang Rui, he is really reliable.

Then, he looked up at Assassin's face, trying to see some embarrassment from him, but unfortunately, Assassin was wearing a skull mask and he couldn't see his expression.

Having failed to achieve their initial goal, the Assassins did not immediately retreat but continued to besiege Matou Kariya. Only one Assassin retreated, picked up Tokiomi Tohsaka, and ran away.

"Hey! Stop right there!!!"

Kariya Matou pointed at the fleeing Assassin and roared angrily.

Unfortunately, he was held down by the other Assassins and unable to move.

Simply outrageous! ! !

A group of Servants actually used this method to stop him!!!

You're Servants?! How can legendary warriors use such thuggish fighting techniques...?

Speechless, Matou Kariya and Assassin started wrestling, rolling around on the ground.

The awe that Tamamo-no-Mae and Mordred had instilled in Servants dissipated with each rotation.

What legendary warrior? This is it?!

at the same time……

Tokiomi Tohsaka's target for this operation—Kenneth—has arrived at Einzbern Castle, and his Mystic Code—Moon Spirit Elixir—is dismantling the castle.

Clearing away all obstacles in your path can effectively prevent you from falling into traps.

However, before he even reached the castle gate, he encountered another person, Kirei Kotomine.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately started fighting.

With its automatic combat function, the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid worked seamlessly with Kenneth, easily suppressing Kirei Kotomine.

Inside the castle, neither Irisviel nor Maiya felt joy at the unexpected turn of events. Although the fighting between enemies had postponed the crisis, it had not disappeared.

"Should we contact Kiritsugu?" Irisviel asked.

"Let's get in touch."

Maiya lacked the confidence to fight two opponents alone. To ensure Irisviel's safety, the only option was to contact Kiritsugu Emiya and ask him to return immediately.

"Okay," Irisviel replied, picking up the phone and dialing a number.

Meanwhile, Maiya carried a sniper rifle to a window in the castle, set it up, and aimed at Kirei Kotomine and Kenneth, hoping to injure them both before Kiritsugu Emiya returned. If she could take down one of them, that would be even better.

As Kirei Kotomine was dodging the attack, a chill ran down his spine. His martial instincts warned him that a deadly crisis had already locked onto him.

Is Kenneth developing some incredibly powerful technique?

'No, the source of the crisis…'

Out of the corner of his eye, Kirei Kotomine glanced thoughtfully at the castle in the darkness.

'Is that Kiritsugu Emiya?!'

'It seems we need to deal with Kenneth as soon as possible, otherwise…'

A deadly crisis loomed large, a feeling he loathed and needed to be resolved as soon as possible…

With a sharp glint in his eyes, Kirei Kotomine launched a fierce attack, reversing his previous defeat.

Mystic Code: Moon Spirit Elixir has a relatively fixed attack and defense pattern, making it difficult to block all of Kirei Kotomine's varied attacks, forcing Kenneth to devote some of his energy to defending against them.

Therefore, the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid had no spare power to defend against attacks from other directions.

In other words, Kenneth was unable to stop the suddenly appearing Assassin.

blah blah blah...

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang out almost within reach. Kenneth stared in astonishment at the Assassin before him, a question swirling in his mind…

Assassin...isn't that on another battlefield?

How did I get here?!

Was it pulled back by a Command Spell?

Somewhat distracted, his gaze fell on Kirei Kotomine's hand; the Command Seals were still intact, three strokes... without diminishing.

'Wait, there are three Assassins...'

Upon discovering that its master was in danger, the Moon Spirit Essence immediately abandoned Kirei Kotomine, and several silvery-white strips extended toward Assassin, seemingly trying to pierce him.
