The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Thank you."

Seeing the determination in the other person's eyes, Kiana felt that she was almost certain of victory this time.

---

A man is running wildly along the riverbank in Fuyuki City.

"Help...help me!!!"

The man's voice was choked with sobs, but no one paid him any attention.

"Bang!" The man crashed into a large tree and then fell to the ground.

"Damn it, damn it!" The man pounded his chest in anguish, his face turning ashen. "No...no, I have to go back. I absolutely cannot leave my parents like this. I have to survive."

The man struggled to his feet and continued running forward. He was extremely fast, and his body was so thin that he couldn't keep up.

But the man was determined, and even so, he continued to move forward with unwavering resolve.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally grew tired and stopped, panting heavily, his face deathly pale.

"Huff huff huff huff" The man was breathing heavily, his chest heaving, his face pale, and his forehead was soaked with sweat. He wiped the sweat with his hand, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his forehead.

The handkerchief was stained with blood and had a pungent, fishy smell. The man's face showed disgust when he saw the blood.

The man wiped the bloodstains from his forehead with his sleeve, then threw the handkerchief in his hand aside.

"No, no, I can't die yet," the man said resolutely, raising his head and staring straight ahead.

However, after seeing a strange figure dressed in a black robe and a blond man.

His expression instantly turned utterly desperate...

"Yay! Found it, boss, thank you so much!"

The blond man rubbed his hands together, looking humble as if he needed something from someone.

The strange man in the black magic robe suddenly opened his eyes wide:

"Heh, it's nothing, Ryunosuke. For the sake of the great blasphemy that is about to unfold, such insignificant characters must be eliminated!"

"Help...help me!!!"

The man was terrified when he saw these two ruthless killers.

He turned his head and started moving his legs, wanting to escape from here as quickly as possible.

However...

With Caster's wave of his hand, countless dark-colored familiars swarmed forward.

It tore its prey into several pieces...

This Ruler is so fair! (F/Z): Taking a day off

I'm taking a day off and will resume updates tomorrow.

This Ruler is so fair! (F/Z): Chapter Nineteen: The Fallen Baron.

A life was tragically lost.

But for Caster and her Master, such a scene doesn't seem to be a terrible one.

On the contrary, it was quite a good show to watch.

"Hahaha! This is perfect art, sir, look! Look!"

At this moment, Ryunosuke Uryu clapped and cheered like a child who had seen a favorite toy.

They can even show this attitude when facing humans who have the same appearance as themselves.

Perhaps he would be extremely pleased to witness the death of those inhuman beings?

It could be a Servant, a Master, or something else entirely...

Caster must be extremely happy to have such a Master.

"Ah! Ryunosuke!"

Caster rubbed his hands together, his eager and hopeful expression was simply bizarre.

"If you weren't human, but a demon, you would surely become an exceptionally cruel demon!"

"Huh? Haha... That's too kind of you, boss."

The master and servant then began to flatter each other in a commercial way.

No, it should be said that there was only mutual flattery, no business involved.

Both of them were complete madmen. One was a serial killer who conspired with the devil to resurrect his best friend Joan of Arc, and the other was a deranged serial killer whose behavior was completely unpredictable.

This pair is a perfect match in every sense of the word.

It is very similar to the pairing of Kiritsugu and Saber.

For this very reason, their existence... can be considered the biggest variable in the Holy Grail War.

"It seems you two had a pleasant conversation?"

After arriving at the scene, Kiana slowly stood by the riverbank lamp and quietly watched the master and servant below.

The fact that the Holy Grail War could bring together these two perfectly matched monsters shows that the Holy Grail is definitely not a good thing.

Kiana thought to herself.

After all, the Holy Grail would grant power to someone who harbors evil intentions and recklessly kills others.

This is even more outrageous than the existence of this master and servant pair...

However, it must be admitted that the Holy Grail may have no opinion on any of this.

It is there, quietly waiting for someone to fill it, so that the almost overflowing despair can become the power to realize its long-cherished wish.

Kiana let out a long sigh, feeling that this was the most absurd thing in the world.

"Oh! Arbitrator, do you perhaps have some insights into all of this?"

Upon seeing Kiana appear, Caster showed no fear; instead, he bowed respectfully with aristocratic courtesy.

"My name is Gilles de Rae, and I appear in the world as Caster. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Although he fell into the dark path in his later years due to his remorse for his close friend, Marshal Gilles still maintained the etiquette due to a nobleman.

Looking at his polite demeanor, Kiana began to doubt whether he was really the demon who created familiars to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

However, all the facts have already proven that the marshal was the one who started this horrific tragedy.

I have come to destroy you!

Kiana slowly raised the King's Sword and aimed it at Gil.

The sheer power of his aura caused Ryunosuke, who was standing next to him, to take two steps back.

"Hey! Boss, what's wrong with this woman? She's terrifying!"

As he spoke, the murderer reached for the dagger strapped to his back.

Its cunning and ferocity were on full display.

However, facing such a powerful Kiana, Marshal Gilles showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he unconsciously scratched his thick, short black hair.

"What?"

The near-mad killer spread his hands and asked in an utterly incredulous tone:

"Could I have misheard? Arbitrator, are you saying you're going to join the war as a participant, then eliminate us one by one, and finally seize the Holy Grail?"

Kiana was speechless upon hearing this.

"Hehehe, no way? You can't do it, can you? Don't forget who you are."

Marshal Gilles revealed a cruel smile.

It's astonishing that he, a serial killer, could think so clearly.

This truly surprised Kiana.

"Is this what they mean by 'It's not the thugs you should fear, but the thugs with education'?"

Of course, as surprised as I was, the next question to consider was...

Marshal Gilles is right. How should I respond?

"What a formidable opponent, much smarter than the average Servant."

Kiana thought to herself.

Just as she was worrying about how to deal with this deranged servant, a loud motorcycle engine sounded behind her.

A short while later, Artoria's voice came from behind.
