Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"No need to question me. If you are a being that brings hope, you will naturally find the way to the end. I also have my own principles. I will never betray my friends and our plans just to save my life or die." Paracelsus was not panicked, even though his AZOTH sword had cracks because it could not withstand the true ether. "Also, you are not sure of victory."

After saying this, the space behind him suddenly twisted and connected to some other place that was not here.

The same space magic that Professor Leif performed when he retreated from singularity F.

"As long as you hold the Holy Grail, you can do this." Paracelsus admitted his defeat and declared calmly, "I will give you the victory of this battle. But the victory of the war is still on our side."

"Tsk..."

Shiomi gritted her teeth, and in the nick of time released the light of destruction from the spinning magic circle in front of her. After engulfing Paracelsus' figure, she moved towards where Sakura and the others were fighting.

She grabbed Saber's arm and dragged her into the imaginary space. Jack and Mephisto were unable to dodge and were swallowed up by Shiomi's magic.

The spacious courtyard turned into white land in an instant, as if someone had dug up the soil. The ground dropped nearly half a meter, like a huge groove.

After the magic stopped, Shiomi knelt on one knee on the ground, gasping for breath.

In a place where there is no real ether, it is indeed a huge burden to rely on his abnormally programmed magic circuits to create real ether. He felt an unprecedented fatigue for the first time in a long time.

Because he was trying to annihilate three servants in one blow, the output and consumption were too high.

Jack the Ripper and Mephisto fell to the ground after being hit by the attack. They struggled to get up, but their soul cores had been shattered.

Mordred reappeared from the void with Sakura, and after landing in the courtyard, he looked at the two servants who were killed and couldn't help but whistle in amazement.

"father!"

Sakura had already run over and helped Shiomi up from the ruins in front of the mansion.

"I'm fine. I just need to catch my breath." Shiomi smiled at Sakura, indicating that she was fine. "Paracelsus used the Holy Grail to retreat, and lost two more servants. He won't be back anytime soon. You and Mordred check Frankenstein's house to see if there are any other clues left, and prepare to return to the base."

Chapter 23: Summoning the Heroic Spirit: The Storm King

Inferring from the results, Paracelsus' original plan was to ambush and kill the Chaldeans while they were investigating Dr. Frankenstein's house.

But it is obvious that among the companions of Paracelsus who called himself "P", that is, the people recorded as "B" and "M" in the doctor's notes, some of them knew Shiomi or had information related to Shiomi.

However, the existing intelligence was not sufficient, and Paracelsus made a wrong judgment. Even his proudest treasure could not annihilate Shiomi, and he also lost two of his servants.

On the way back to Jekyll's apartment, Shiomi expressed the above judgments to Sakura and Mordred.

"So, the Servant named Mephisto may not have wanted to help, but he had to help Paracelsus, so when he was ordered to kill the doctor, he deliberately did not destroy the doctor's notes." Sakura nodded. "After realizing this, and because of an accidental battle with Jack the Ripper, he found that we came to this singularity, so he decided to take advantage of the situation and set up an ambush there?"

"That's all I can think of." Shiomi shrugged.

The information currently available is very limited. The mere existence of two Servants of the same rank is enough to show that this singularity, where there is no Holy Grail War but the Holy Grail exists, may contain some hidden secrets.

The people who were able to create the ritual of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki and build the Three Great Families based on the summoning of Heroic Spirits must have known these things in order to gradually improve the system of the Holy Grail War.

Thinking about it this way, Xiomi felt that he should go to the Clock Tower after all.

"What is Saber thinking?" Sakura asked.

"No, that... nothing." Mordred's expression was a little unhappy, "I just remembered that there is a cyborg who can no longer wake up in a room in the doctor's house."

As a created being, Mordred couldn't help but care about artificially created life.

"Frankenstein... huh..." Sakura remembered.

They are both characters in science fiction novels, but they are real people who existed in history.

"It was probably done by Paracelsus or his accomplices, in order to reduce as much as possible the existence that would help us in Chaldea repair the singularity." Shiomi said, and he looked at Mordred again.

"What's going on? There's blood on my face?" Mordred wiped his face.

"No, I was just thinking, since servants will descend even without the Holy Grail War, what if we perform the summoning ritual on this basis?" Shiomi said while walking and thinking.

Originally, Chaldea should have established a Heroic Spirit Summoning System, and then summoned Servants who were willing to cooperate, and worked with them to restore humanity.

But so far, Chaldea has had three successful cases of summoning heroic spirits.

Romani, who has become a human, used to rely on the summoning system of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War.

And Mashu, or rather Number Two who lent her power, refused to show up before singularity F.

As for number three, Da Vinci, she is reserved about many things because of Chaldea's way of doing things. If Chaldea had not suffered too much damage this time, she would not have appeared in front of everyone and worked as a technical consultant.

So now, Shiomi began to consider the feasibility of performing summoning at a singularity.

"Mr. Jekyll's apartment is located on the spiritual vein. All we have to do is build a summoning circle there, right, Dad?" Sakura also thought it was feasible.

We can't always expect that there are lone servants. Even if there is no pressure on the magic supply due to the special circumstances of the singularity, it is still a problem whether we can find servants who can fight and cooperate.

There are chaos mechanical soldiers and magic puppets wandering around the streets. If you are not careful, you will encounter them. Every battle is a waste of energy.

The three men returned empty-handed and were disappointed. They encountered such enemies twice more along the way. When they saw Jekyll's apartment was right in front of them, they heard the sound of fighting again.

"not good!"

Shiomi started running.

He missed another thing.

While Paracelsus and his followers were ambushing them, his accomplices were also preparing to attack them from behind.

In other words, an attack on Jekyll's apartment.

When the three of them turned the corner, they saw about twenty Chaos Mechanical Soldiers blocking the street. The leading one was particularly large in size and magical response. Unlike the Mechanical Soldiers who were nearly two meters tall, it was about two and a half meters tall, and its weight was difficult to estimate.

"Spiritual base scan, confirmed to be a Servant, class, also Caster." Morgan's voice came.

Just as the three men took out their weapons, the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers on the outermost side of the encirclement turned around, the eye-like parts of their heads lit up with red light, and white steam spewed out of their bodies.

The puppets with Gatling guns in their right hands raised their gun barrels.

"Let me block this!" Ying rushed forward, raised her wand and opened a magic shield that could block physical attacks.

Bullets rained down on the shield, creating dense sparks. Sakura's hands were shaking from the continuous attacks. She gritted her teeth to withstand the attacks, giving her father and Mordred a chance to counterattack.

Mordred jumped up from behind Sakura and rushed into the mechanical soldiers with magic power. His silver sword cut through iron like mud and destroyed one of them in just two or three strokes.

However, the mechanical soldiers equipped with long swords also raised their weapons and attacked Mordred together.

His speed wasn't that great, but with the added brute force, Mordred also felt exhausted.

Not knowing whether the enemy would have reinforcements, Xi Jian had no time to hesitate. He cut his palm, and the blood swam around on its own after falling to the ground, forming a formation to summon heroic spirits in the blink of an eye.

"My wife, I want to summon my servants here, is that okay?" Xijian asked.

"No need to ask, yes." Morgan said without hesitation.

"--Declare.

Your body depends on mine, and my fate depends on your sword.

Follow the fate of the Holy Grail and respond according to human reason!

You are the seven days of the spirit of stargazing and speaking.

Run! Fall! Deliver the verdict!

Guardian of the Scales——!"

This is the second time Shiomi has summoned a Heroic Spirit since the Fourth Holy Grail War, and the spell has also adopted a new form to match the support of Chaldea.

They had already arrived at the spiritual vein, and the ceremony originally planned to be performed in an empty room in the apartment had been changed to such a hasty and quick method.

There were strong winds and lightning, and the summoning circle drawn with blood by Shiomi lit up, then rose up, turned into a red meteor, flew into the sky, and bloomed, illuminating the sky of London.

From that light, just like the Wild Hunt in the legend, the Storm King rode his jet-black white-maned steed, galloping down from the sky and crashing into the Chaos mechanical soldiers, knocking them all over.

"Lancer, Artoria. Come as summoned. Just as my beloved horse devours thunderclouds, my spear will shatter all city walls. Destroy all obstacles that block your path."

The knight, who was wearing black armor and whose face could not even be seen, gave his real name in this way, shocking everyone present.

Chapter 24: 'Wind King's Barrier'

It is not the summoning of Heroic Spirits to the singularity of the Holy Grail War, but it should be based on compatibility. After responding to the magician's intention to repair the singularity, the servant that is most suitable for this singularity or has the best compatibility with Shiomi will appear.

Originally, he had imagined that he might be able to summon Morgan again.

But Morgan changed the contract rules now, temporarily sending the magic power needed to maintain his own contract to Chaldea, thus solving the problem of being separated from Shiomi.

But... it is the Morgan le Fay who belongs to this human history.

But the one who showed up was Altria, and she was of Lancer class.

Without asking, Xi Jian recognized that the spear was another treasure in the legend of King Arthur, the Holy Spear Longominyad, just by looking at it.

But... this figure wrapped in black armor inevitably reminded him of the Black Knight King of Singularity F.

Is there something wrong with this singularity that would cause the servants who descended here to be contaminated?

However, Shiomi did not have much time to think about this problem. After all, he chose to summon servants in order to resolve the situation where he was outnumbered by the enemy on the battlefield and did not want to get involved in a war of attrition.

——He even ignored the sound of a pen breaking from the other end of the communicator.

"Can I consider you a companion, Lancer? No, Artoria!" Shiomi took a step forward and asked Artoria who was riding on a warhorse.

Looking down at the mechanical soldiers who were not hit by the impact and surrounded them again, Altria said indifferently:

"Why ask again? Since you summoned me, you are my Master. Give me the instructions."

"Then fight, Lancer!" Shiomi ordered with clenched fists.

As soon as she finished speaking, Artoria rode her horse and rushed towards the Chaos mechanical soldiers like a heavy chariot. The iron wall they formed suddenly became as weak as paper, unable to withstand the storm caused by the lance in the hands of the Knight King.

Mordred broke into the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers and was entangled by them with brute force. He had just smashed one when he felt the sound of wind sweeping over. He kicked away the nearest Mechanical Soldiers and jumped up when their attention was diverted.

"Father...King...?"

The magic power that just descended from the sky made Mordred feel familiar. He didn't expect it to be his father.

Although the jet-black armor was somewhat surprising, it could not hide the fact that he was the Knight King.

"What's going on! Why is father here?" Mordred asked Xijian.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because you're here that it has an impact on my emergency summons."

Xi Jian flashed and approached a mechanical soldier, placed his palm on the mechanical soldier's head, and the electric current immediately turned into a sharp blade, tearing the mechanical soldier into pieces, leaving an extremely smooth cut.

"Tsk..." Mordred clicked his tongue.

She was feeling a bit complicated now, feeling a little unhappy, but at the same time, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart because she could fight alongside her father.

"Rather than that, what about Mr. Jekyll? Was he murdered?" Sakura took this opportunity to check on the situation in the apartment.

Mordred was stunned: "Oh, yeah, where's the bean sprout? It won't be killed—"

As she spoke, she jumped to the fourth floor near the outer wall of the apartment, overlooking the street.

Then he saw a mad-looking Jekyll holding a knife and fighting back against the mechanical soldier at the door of the apartment about five or six meters away from Altria.

The leading mechanical Servant raised his hammer and smashed it down, but the frail-looking Jekyll actually caught the attack and roared with excitement.

But he was covered in blood and didn't look very optimistic.

Although she didn't know how a human could survive to this point, Mordred would not stand by and watch him die. She immediately stepped on the outer wall, rushed to land next to Jekyll, and killed the mechanical soldier who attacked him from behind.

"Hey! Bean Sprout, if you're okay, just retreat first, and leave this to us!"

"Ah? Who are you?" Jekyll's tone was different from his usual gentle and polite tone, and was full of rudeness.

Mordred felt strange, but before he could ask, he grabbed his arm and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You'll die if you keep hitting me!"

After saying that, without waiting for Jekyll to answer, she threw Jekyll towards Shiomi and Sakura.

"Take it! Master!"

Amid the mixed sounds of steam and machinery, there was no sound of flesh hitting the ground.

"Got it, Saber!" Sakura's voice rang out through her mind. She used wind magic to create a cushion of air, allowing Jekyll to land safely.

"it is good!"

Mordred shouted, turned around, released his magic power, and swung his sword to block the attack of the huge mechanical Servant.

"Who the hell are you?" Mordred demanded.

"This body is nothing but delusion and dream." A male mechanical voice sounded, saying something incomprehensible.

However, the mechanical servants also noticed that the balance of power in the apartment battlefield had changed.
