"You know my Master...? That's right, after all, you seem to know everything."

In fact, the Master of Lancer who appeared in this war was not Kotomine Kirei at the beginning.

Chapter 64: Bazette

Lancer's master was originally the church's executor, Bazette Fraga Macremis.

A woman who yearns for the legend of Cu Chulainn and Kotomine Kirei.

When Bazette was young, he was always afraid of losing something, so he couldn't enjoy his childhood. After accidentally reading the ancient story of Cu Chulainn, which was widely circulated in his country, in the study, he felt very sad about the end of this shining hero. He even dreamed about his deeds and hoped that "if allowed, I could have the wish to save him."

At the age of fifteen, she left her hometown because she didn't want to waste her life in obscurity. She joined the Magic Association despite her parents' opposition and was warmly welcomed as the new member of the association, an unexpectedly famous family. However, that was just a formality. Because there was a vortex of power struggle hidden within the association, although it was necessary to have an aura to show to the outside world, new members with excessive brilliance were more repelled than incompetent subordinates, so in fact she had no place to stay. Despite this, she continued to complete the tasks, thinking that the more tasks she completed, the more attention she would receive, and one day she would stand out, so she accepted the troublesome job of the executor designated by the seal a year later.

Then, she met Kotomine Kirei at work, was attracted by his strength, and admired him.

In fact, Kotomine Kirei chose to cooperate with her only in order to complete the task more cleanly and efficiently.

Before the Holy Grail War began, he was recommended by Kotomine Kirei, the supervisor of the Holy Grail, to become a Master, and summoned this hero using Cu Chulainn's earrings.

However, he was deceived by Kotomine Kirei and his left arm was cut off. Kotomine Kirei obtained Bazett's Command Seal and became the Master of Lancer, while Bazett fell into a coma and has not woken up since.

Cu Chulainn always remembered the girl who admired him. But he was watched by Kotomine Kirei and that golden glittering, so he had no way to save Bazette.

Now that he was free, he thought of his former Master.

Bazette had always wanted to save the dead Cu Chulainn.

But in fact Cu Chulainn did not expect her to save him.

Instead, he wanted to help others.

His death might be a tragedy in the eyes of a third party, but he himself accepted death after accepting everything. Because of this, he actually did not have any special wishes entrusted to the Holy Grail. If he had to say it, he responded to the call because he hoped to do his best and fight against strong opponents in a battle worthy of a hero. Unfortunately, he was ordered by Kotomine Kirei: "Fight all Servants but do not kill them. The opponent you fight for the first time must be alive." Therefore, he could not do so.

Although he would express dissatisfaction and grievances, he was basically loyal to his Master and would complete these insignificant tasks even if he kept complaining.

However, the reason why I was not able to fight to my full potential last night was not because of Kotomine Kirei.

Lancer knew very well that everything originated from the person in front of him.

Naturally, Emiya Shirou would not refuse Lancer's request to save people.

In a ghost hotel deep in the mountains, a beautiful woman in a suit and tie, with pink hair, looked very heroic. She fell into a deep sleep, and her left arm was empty.

Emiya went forward to check and found that the other person was still breathing, but had not woken up.

"Because it's not a magician's fault, I don't understand why she hasn't woken up in the past six months." Seeing Bazette, Cu Chulainn's mood was not as good as he said.

“Not a magician…?” Shirou Emiya stared blankly at Cu Chulainn behind him.

Cu Chulainn also scratched his face in embarrassment.

You have to know that this is a heroic spirit who can appear in the world with the job of Caster. How could he not know magic?

"I……"

"You should actually know why she can't wake up." Emiya Shirou judged the situation. Although the loss of her left hand and the Command Seal was a big blow, the reason she didn't wake up was not only because of the serious injury, but also because this person's consciousness did not want to wake up. She escaped in the world inside her own mind.

Hey. Actually, I know everything. I knew it a long time ago. I came here as soon as I was free. But no matter what I did, I couldn't wake her up.

"It was a bit of a blow to her."

indeed.

The senior brother she had always admired plotted against her and took away her Servant, the hero she admired.

One of my favorite people hurt me and took away my other favorite person.

Plus the cold stares she received in the Clock Tower.

Thinking again about how I went out despite my parents' dissuasion, I must be regretting it to death.

"In the end, even you have no solution?" When seeing Emiya Shirou's demeanor before, Cu Chulainn felt that he could only entrust the key to breaking the deadlock to this young man, because the compatibility between him and the other golden guy who might have a solution was incredibly bad.

“No, it’s not that there is no way.

“It’s just a little bit special.

"I never thought that I would use this move outside of combat..."

Emiya Shirou thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and continued to chant softly.

The magical power burst out from his whole body, the amount was so huge that even a servant like Lancer was shocked.

"I am the bone of my sword.

"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.

"I have created over a thousand blades.

"Unknown to Death."

"Nor known to Life."

"Have withstood pain to create many weapons.

"Yet, those hands will never hold anything. (However, only nothingness remains.)

"So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."

The powerful wind pressure swept everything around, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

Lancer was awed by the abundant magic power. Even in the history when gods were prevalent, there were few heroes with such courage.

Chapter 65: Unlimited Sword

A feeling of desolation and loneliness surged out from the cracks in space.

Yellow sand filled the sky and the wind blocked Lancer's eyes. When Lancer opened his eyes again, he found that this place had become a barren land.

There was not a speck of green on the soil; all that could be seen was earthy yellow. Countless swords, some named and some not, were stuck in the ground. Some were brand new, while others were broken after being worn out in battle. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

It looked like a battlefield after a battle, but the gears turning in the sky told Lancer that this was not their own world.

"This is, an inherent barrier...!?" Lancer Cu Chulainn said in disbelief.

The inherent barrier refers to the magic that uses the magician's mental world to erode the real world and replace it. It is known as the magic that is closest to magic.

In other words, this scene is Shirou Emiya's mental world. In this world, the caster's ability will be greatly enhanced, and it is a further step forward in positional warfare compared to the magician's magic studio.

"Yes, this is my inherent barrier, Unlimited Blade Works."

The mental world that extends from the origin of Shirou Emiya's "sword" has the ability to copy weapons after seeing them once. Even without opening the inherent barrier, the copied weapons can be taken out and their abilities can be exerted.

Shirou Emiya is good at projection magic, but that is merely an extension of his inherent barrier, "Infinite Sword Works".

Now, Shirou Emiya is able to copy all the Noble Phantasms and weapons he has seen.

Currently, only divine weapons such as the Sword of Separation and the Sword of Promised Victory cannot be copied.

Mortals cannot understand the wisdom of God, but because they have come into contact with magic tools made by demons, they are one step further than human weapons, made by other intelligent creatures, such as demons.

The same can be said for swords forged by elves.

After Wang Ha's experience, Nicole and others' wisdom, and the devil's knowledge, the replicas will not lower the level of the original treasures, and can even go a step further. Although it cannot project divine weapons, it can project treasures with similar power and functions.

However, what surprised Lancer was not that the boy could use such magic, but why he used this magic with inherent barrier.

After all, the inherent barrier only erodes the real world, and it does not mean that one can use one's own mental image to invade other people's mental world.

"Inherent barrier..." But just as he was wondering, a weak female voice sounded, causing Lancer to look immediately.

As expected, I saw Bazette here.

The beautiful woman in men's clothing covered her broken arm and looked at Cu Chulainn and Emiya Shirou in confusion, "Who... are you?"

Shirou Emiya reconciled with the demon in his heart earlier than Hajime Hinata. Or, in other words, there is no demon in his righteous heart.

The only devil might be Archer, who has become the person he doesn't want to be, but now Shirou Emiya, who has not experienced those cruel things in the future and knows those cruel things, retains a bit of innocence while also having the strong heart of an adult.

And this erosion of other people's mental world is his reward for defeating himself.

The process of defeating the inner demons takes place within the heart.

In the world of Devil May Cry, when King Hassan asked how to deal with enemies that do not exist in the current world, Emiya gave this answer.

Whether it is the subspace, the fifth dimension, or the dream, it is rewritten into the world in which one exists. Then it can cause damage to the other party.

However, the inherent barrier of magic that was supposed to be used for killing was now deployed for saving and protecting.

On the other side, Bazette.

To be honest, as the executor of the church's seal, the first thing Bazette wanted to do was to seal Shirou Emiya when he saw him.

Then again, what is the seal designation?

Sealing designation means to detain and capture a magician who possesses rare talents or violates taboos in the name of "protection" and imprison him for life.

The association treats and "protects" those who can become the holders of magic (such as inherent barriers) that cannot be learned and cultivated, such as Shirou Emiya, only because of their blood and physique. The magic association arrests the magician who is designated to be sealed, so that he can maintain his magic characteristics unchanged and pass on to future generations as a precious sample. In a sense, it is no different from a specimen soaked in formalin. For the association, it is a seal designation based on goodwill, but for the selected magician, it is equivalent to a death sentence.

Generally, those who are sealed are magicians with special bloodlines or origins, or who have made significant progress in their research and can reach the end of the magic path. However, the prerequisite is that the magician's magic is strong enough. Otherwise, the Magic Association will leave alone those magicians who only have other magical aptitudes because of their bloodlines, and who can learn some rather useless magic that other magicians cannot learn.

Bazette is the church's agent who carries out such tasks.

In fact, the person designated to executor the seal is not a likable person.

This is a dirty job. Not only does one have to do inhumane things to those magicians, but one also has to fight against those magicians who are unwilling to accept the seal designation.

And these magicians are precisely very good and outstanding magicians, so this job is quite dangerous.

Although he came from a prominent family and possessed considerable talent, he was not valued by the Magic Association. Instead, because of these shining points, he was sent to do marginal and unpleasant work.

Bazette, who is straightforward in personality, may have noticed other people's false enthusiasm for her, but she believes that as long as she works hard and completes more tasks assigned by the Magic Association, she will be valued.

So when Bazette saw Shirou Emiya with his inherent barrier, he subconsciously wanted to seal him.

But after a moment, she realized what had happened to her.

What happened to Kotomine Kirei made her wonder how to deal with her life. It was like working hard, but what was the point?

She might be a little clumsy, but she couldn't completely ignore the magicians' cold eyes.

It would be fine if they could act well and seem to treat her enthusiastically, but those conservative magicians were more arrogant than each other.

The problem was that they simply didn't bother to put on more of a show for Bazett.

Normally, Bazette would have been able to deceive himself into thinking he was important.

But this time, she was betrayed by the person she trusted most.

She admired Kotomine Kirei, and rushed here without stopping after receiving Kotomine Kirei's recommendation for the Holy Grail War.

Chapter 66: Far Eastern Magic Daytime Sleeping Society

I felt happy that I could help Kotomine Kirei.

However, he was murdered by his trusted senior brother and the control of the Command Seals was taken away from him.

It seemed that she had always been used as a tool.

In the Magic Association, it seems that no one treats her sincerely, and everyone uses her as a handy tool.

She couldn't help but think of her parents who had dissuaded her from going to the Magic Association. Did they foresee that this day would come?

Feeling guilty towards his parents, disappointed with the Magic Association and Kotomine Kirei, and not understanding the meaning of what he was doing, Bazette chose to escape from the cruel reality.

And it happened that a magician who was designated to be sealed came over and wanted to help her.

Bazette looked at the half-grown boy in front of him, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only utter a few words, "Why?"

Why save someone who has nothing to do with you?

Something she had never expected happened. Emiya Shirou suddenly hugged her in his arms and held her tightly.

“Although reality is cruel, we still have to face it anyway.
