Fuyuki City, Miyama Town.

The pitch-black night enveloped this ancient mansion.

The usually eerie and desolate Matou mansion was filled with a nauseating, burnt smell tonight—the smell of rotting flesh and insect corpses burning in the sacred fire.

Underground insect storage.

This place should have been a living hell, a demonic lair teeming with countless imprinted worms.

But at this moment, the dazzling golden light dispelled all the gloom.

"Aaaaaah!! Impossible... This power... Who... are you...?"

With a final, piercing scream, the monster who had lived for hundreds of years—Matou Ryouken—was completely reduced to ashes in the golden holy light.

Even the parasitic worm was crushed into powder by that domineering magic.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for defeating the key plot character 'Matou Zouken' (Fate/Zero), significantly altering the world line!]

[Gained 5000 Dimensional Points!]

[Current Template: Arthur Pendragon (Old Sword)]

[Fusion progress increased to: 15% (Unlocked skills: Intuition B, Mana Burst A, Noble Phantasm: Excalibur (Sealed))]

A cold, impersonal system notification sounded in my mind.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his hand, which was radiating terrifying heat.

He was dressed in a slightly worn modern casual outfit, but his upright posture and the faint golden glow surrounding him made him look like a king traveling incognito.

Although the fusion progress is only 15%, it is enough to deal with an old bug that has no servant protection and whose main body has long been decayed.

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, ignoring the system's reward, and turned around to look at the small figure huddled in the corner, trembling.

She was a little girl with short purple hair.

Due to excessive fright and the "insect magic modification" that hadn't been implemented yet, her eyes, which should have been full of life, were now empty and lifeless.

Matou Sakura, or rather, Tohsaka Sakura.

If Luo Chen had arrived even a moment later, this girl's life would have been plunged into endless darkness tonight.

"..."

Sakura looked up, staring blankly at the man in front of her who was glowing all over.

This is hell, so why is there light?

Luo Chen crouched down, trying his best to suppress the oppressive aura of the "Knight King" emanating from him, and revealed a warm smile.

This is the charm inherent in the [Arthur Pendragon] template—the "Prince Charming" attribute that can make countless girls fall in love.

"It's all over now."

Luo Chen reached out and gently ruffled Ying's slightly messy purple short hair, his voice warm and gentle: "Those bugs, that bad old man, they're all gone."

Sakura's body trembled violently.

She looked at Luo Chen's outstretched hand and instinctively wanted to dodge, but the warmth emanating from that hand made her feel the breath of "being alive" for the first time in this cold cellar.

"Big brother... is he an angel?" Sakura's voice was hoarse, with a hint of disbelief in its tremor.

"No, I'm just a passing knight."

Luo Chen gently lifted Sakura from the cold ground, wrapping her small body in his coat. "The Tohsaka family abandoned you, the Matou family wants to destroy you. So, starting today, do you want to come with me?"

Sakura's pupils focused slightly, and her small hands gripped Luo Chen's clothes tightly, as if she had grasped the only straw to save her.

"I have a home...can I go back?"

"certainly."

Luo Chen carried her and strode towards the exit of the basement, with the purifying fire burning fiercely behind him.

"Since no one wants you, I'll take care of you. From now on, you're family to me, Luo Chen."

[Ding! Detected that the key character 'Matou Sakura' has developed a very high dependence on the host. Conquest progress has begun.]

[Bonus Reward: 1 Random Artifact Chest.]

……

After settling Sakura into the only clean guest room on the second floor of the Matou mansion, Luo Chen went to the courtyard of the mansion.

Although killing the old bug was satisfying, the mechanics of the Holy Grail War have already been activated.

Matou Reiken is dead, but the Command Seals system he left behind remains. Luo Chen glanced at the back of his right hand, where the Command Seals that originally belonged to the Matou family appeared—

Because he brute-forced the Matou family's magic foundation, and with the system's assistance, these three Command Seals now belong to him.

"Now that we've come to the Type-Moon world, wouldn't it be a waste of our trip if we didn't participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Luo Chen stood in front of the drawn summoning circle.

This was on the eve of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Apart from the pleasure-seeker Kirei Kotomine and the scapegoat Tokiomi Tohsaka, the other Masters should also be preparing to summon.

"System, open the random artifact chest."

[Ding! Activation successful.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the relic: The Bloodstained Black Crown (an item that does not exist in the pan-human history).]

[Item Description: From a Lostbelt, belonging to the queen who rules the fairy kingdom.]

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.

Goblin country? Queen?

Knowing the plot well, he immediately realized what it was.

"It actually belongs to that woman..."

Luo Chen stroked his chin, a playful smile curving his lips. "I am King Arthur. If she is the one I summon... that would be quite a mess."

However, this suits me perfectly!

Only a sufficiently powerful Servant can dominate this Fourth Shinobi World War.

He placed the black crown, which exuded a cold, cursed aura, into the center of the summoning circle.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen mobilized the magical factors belonging to the Crimson Dragon within his body.

This immense magical power instantly activated the summoning circle, and a silver light shot into the sky, illuminating the night sky!

"Announcement—"

"Your body is entrusted to my command; my destiny is tied to your sword."

"Respond to the call of the Holy Grail, heed this will and this principle, answer me!"

A sudden gust of wind shattered all the windows in the Matou mansion!

I swear this oath.

"I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world."

"I am the embodiment of all evil deeds in the world."

Luo Chen continued chanting without pause, but he did not add the "Berserk" spell that would cause the Servant to lose their mind.

However, the Spirit Origin reaction within the summoning circle exhibited an extremely violent state!

"You are the guardian of the Seven Heavens, bound by the three great incantations, from the Wheel of Restraint and the Scales—!"

Boom!!

A bolt of black lightning struck the center of the courtyard. As the smoke and dust dissipated, a suffocatingly cold pressure swept across the entire area.

That was no ordinary heroic spirit.

That is a being that surpasses ordinary Servants, possessing a god-level spirit origin!

The smoke cleared.

A tall figure appeared.

She wore a gorgeous black and blue dress, held a long spear that exuded an ominous aura, her long silver hair danced in the wind, and a black veil covered half of her face, but could not hide her cold, icy eyes that seemed to freeze the soul.

Berserker, Morgan le Fay.

She is not a witch from the pan-human history, but the Winter Queen who has ruled the Fairy Kingdom of Britain in the Lostbelt for two thousand years!

She slowly opened her eyes, her arrogant and tyrannical gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Luo Chen.

Originally, she should have arrogantly questioned the summoner.

But the moment Her Majesty saw Luo Chen's face and sensed the familiar "Arthur" aura deep within his soul, her pupils contracted sharply.

The air seemed to freeze.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful queen before him, Luo Chen calmly raised his right hand, which bore the Command Seal, and smiled:

"Nice to meet you, Berserker. I am your Master."

"And also... the only King Arthur in this world."

Morgan stared intently at Luo Chen, the magic gun in his hand buzzing, as if suppressing a crazy impulse to both pierce through the person in front of him and possess him.

a long time.

Her cold, red lips parted slightly, uttering the name that sent shivers down the spines of all Britain, her tone carrying a hint of intriguing danger and possessiveness:

"...Arthur?"

"Ha, is this the cruel joke of pan-human history? Making me, the queen who has already destroyed Britain, serve this so-called King of Knights?"

Morgan took a sudden step forward, the tip of his gun pointed directly at Luo Chen's throat, but his eyes burned with a twisted flame:

"Alright, I accept your summons."

"But listen carefully, my Majesty (husband)..."

"This is not submission, but the beginning of domination."
