Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

"Archer, are you provoking me?"

"No, I didn't. I'm just curious about what you did in the past that made you unwilling to see this priest." Morpheus said as he walked forward and entered the area belonging to the church.

Relying on his magic eyes, Morpheus observed everything within the range. In his eyes, he saw the priest in the church, and Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou walking towards the priest.

And the dense crowds of people in the basement of the church!

Those were living people who couldn't move, couldn't even commit suicide!

The light of their lives seems so weak, perhaps only death can bring true relief, but they can't even die!

In addition to these, there are two more rays of light, strong lights of life that transcend the limits of human beings.

Obviously, that's the Servant hiding underneath!

One is the guy who stayed after the Fourth Holy Grail War relying on the power of the Holy Grail, and the other is the Servant that Kotomine Kirei snatched away from his sister, that is, Cu Chulainn, who had fought with him!

Chapter 69: The False Priest

"I repeatedly told you to come but you ignored me. Instead, you brought a strange guest with you. Is he the seventh person, Rin?"

The priest, who was quite tall, closed the Bible in his hand and turned to speak to Rin. Rin turned her head away, as if unwilling to look at him. Shirou Emiya took a step forward, which made the priest look at him: "My name is Kotomine Kirei. What's your name? The seventh Master."

"My name is Emiya Shirou."

Hearing this name, Kotomine Kirei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Emiya?"

"Ha! Haha!" He let out a low laugh, as if he had discovered something amusing. Kotomine Kirei's expression became noticeably smiling, and he said, "You are Saber's Master, right, Emiya Shirou."

"Indeed, I have made a contract with Saber, but to be honest, I still don't know much about the Holy Grail War, Masters, and the like. If the Master wants an orthodox magus, it would be better to choose another magus."

The priest's expression didn't change at all; he continued smiling, as if admiring a new toy. "I see. This is a serious matter."

What he said was obviously inconsistent with his expression.

At this time, Toosaka Rin also spoke: "So, let's teach him these things from the beginning."

Toosaka Rin didn't even tell Emiya Shirou that she had already told him the common sense, as if she was saying "I'm too lazy to teach you, you teach me."

This surprised Kotomine Kirei. He glanced at Tōsaka Rin and said, "Oh? Well, this is the first time you've asked me for a favor."

He walked forward as he spoke, approaching the two of them, “Emiya Shirou, the Master is not something you can give to others!

"Now that you've become a Master, you can't give up this identity. Being a Master is also a test bestowed upon you. This pain cannot be relieved until you win the Holy Grail."

The priest's eyes were looking at Shirou Emiya. At such a close distance, his eyes were so empty. It didn't seem like he was looking at Shirou Emiya, but rather at someone else, a person who didn't exist here.

"Emiya Shirou, the battle you've been dragged into is called the Holy Grail War."

"It's that ridiculous thing about seven Masters killing each other, right?"

"Everything is done to select those worthy of the Holy Grail, and this is the ceremony held for this purpose."

"The Holy Grail? Is the legendary Holy Grail the one in the Bible?" asked Shirou Emiya, which made Toosaka Rin look at Shirou Emiya.

I clearly explained what the Holy Grail was at Emiya's residence, but now this guy is pretending to know nothing!

Sure enough, this guy is also good at acting!

Kotomine Kirei said at this time: "The Holy Grail that descended upon this town is genuine. One of the proofs is the extraordinary miracle of the Servant appearing. If a Holy Grail possesses such power, it will bring infinite power to its owner.

"In fact, the authenticity of the object is completely meaningless in the face of this power and this fact."

Emiya Shirou said: "If that's the case, if the Holy Grail is so powerful, why does the Holy Grail War still exist? Wouldn't it be better if such a powerful force is divided equally among everyone?"

"It is indeed as you said, but the Holy Grail can only be obtained by one person. That is not decided by us, but by the Holy Grail itself."

This made Emiya Shirou's expression change. He had never heard of this when he was at home: "...The Holy Grail will decide?"

"Everything was initiated by the Holy Grail itself. Through their competition and fighting, a single holder was chosen. This is the Holy Grail War."

Emiya Shirou glanced at the scar-like Command Seal marks on the back of his left hand, his expression showing a hint of disgust. "I cannot accept that in order to choose one person, the only way is to kill the other Masters. This is simply unacceptable."

"Wait a minute, the only way out is to kill other Masters. That's a misunderstanding!" Tōsaka Rin immediately corrected Emiya Shirou's misunderstanding, and at this time Kotomine Kirei said, "It's about killing each other."

This made Tohsaka Rin glare at Kotomine Kirei: "Shut up!"

Toosaka Rin knew that her senior brother was very twisted, but it was really a headache for her that he was misleading people in such a situation.

Then, Toosaka Rin explained: "The Holy Grail in this place is a spirit, and what we have to do is to kill other people's servants in order to achieve the goal of being the only one holding it. Or this is a necessary process. Do you understand?"

At this time, Emiya Shirou finally had enough understanding about the Holy Grail War, and at this time Kotomine Kirei said: "Emiya Shirou, do you think you can defeat your own Servant?"

"what?"

"Servants are difficult to defeat even with Servants, so what should we do? It's a very simple and clear question. No matter how powerful the Servant is, as long as the Master is killed, it will disappear. In other words..."

Emiya Shirou already knew what the other party meant: "Killing the Master is more efficient..."

His expression looked a little ugly. He couldn't do such a thing, but it was obvious that not everyone was like him. There would definitely be people who would choose a more efficient method.

"That's it."

"What if the Servant is defeated first? Only the Servants can touch the Holy Grail, right? Without the Servant, the deteriorated Master would be worthless, wouldn't that?"

"No, as long as the Command Seals remain, the Master's power remains. For example, if a Servant has lost his Master and has nowhere to go, he can re-conclude a contract with a Master who has lost his Servant but still has the Command Seals. That is why the Master must kill the Master to prevent future troubles!"

At this time, Emiya Shirou raised his hand: "What if I use up all my Command Spells here?"

"Indeed, if you do that, you will lose your power as a Master. Moreover, I don't think there are any magi who would waste the Command Seals that can perform powerful magic.

"If there really is one, then people like this are not just half-baked, but simply eating for free!"

Seeing Emiya Shirou showing an angry look because of his words, Kotomine Kirei laughed happily. His behavior was not like that of a priest at all, but rather like that of a despicable person.

He even admired Emiya Shirou's angry expression and said with a smile, "Do you understand?"

He was forcing Shirou Emiya to choose to fight, as if he had some purpose and would not allow the other party to choose not to fight.

"Then let's get back to the point, Emiya Shirou. You can give up the Command Seals if you want, but as long as you sever your connection with Saber, I will guarantee your safety until the end of the Holy Grail War.

"After all, I was assigned to monitor the recurring Holy Grail Wars, and protecting the safety of magi who have lost their Master status is also my job."

"Repeat?!" Emiya Shirou frowned, feeling as if he had touched something real: "Isn't the Holy Grail War just about to begin?"

Seeing Emiya Shirou's reaction, Kotomine Kirei's expression became even more joyful.

"This is already the fifth time. It happens every sixty years. The last time was ten years ago. This time is the shortest interval. Oh, by the way, I remember there was a Master at that time named Emiya Kiritsugu."

Hearing his father's name, Emiya Shirou couldn't keep calm. He quickly asked, "Emiya Kiritsugu?!"

"He is a very powerful man, a man who can even fight with Servants." Kotomine Kirei said, looking at Emiya Shirou. He had already confirmed the boy's next choice. Under his temptation, the boy would no longer give up his identity as a Master.

When Morpheus saw Shirou Emiya coming out of the church and looked at his expression, he knew that the development of the plot would not be much different from the original script.

Although he knew that Shirou Emiya was a good man and would definitely help him as long as he told the truth about the Holy Grail, Morpheus had no such plans for the time being.

He has to wait for an opportunity. Only after he has taken down his first target can he continue to advance his plan and completely destroy the Holy Grail War in this world!

And Morpheus estimated that this opportunity would come tonight!

……

Sure enough, on the way back, they encountered someone who intercepted them!

A black giant, and a little girl in a purple robe standing next to the giant.

Illya!

Although the violent giant's original appearance can still be seen, the madness in his eyes has covered up everything. This is the mad Hercules!

This Hercules was not the Hercules that Morpheus knew. He was just the Hercules of this world. But even so, Morpheus couldn't help but sigh.

Taking a step forward and standing in front of everyone, Morpheus said, "Rin, you go back first, I'll deal with them."

"Morpheus..." Toosaka Rin said in a low voice.

"I'm coming too!" Artoria also took a step forward. It was obvious that Shirou Emiya had no intention of leaving like this. As a result, Morpheus shouted, "My fighting style is quite crazy. You guys here will affect me, so for my safety, I hope you will leave first."

He said, and even thought about it, and added: "You all go to Emiya's house together, I will return there!"

He seemed very confident when he said this, as if he was sure to win.

This was like a reassurance, and the three of them finally chose to leave.

Artoria said to Morpheus, "Don't forget we haven't fought yet!"

"There will be a chance." Morpheus said, standing in front of the old man and the young man, smiling and waving his hand: "Illya, right? Let's discuss it. I'll give you something fun, and you won't fight me. How about it?"

Illya looked at the man in front of her. She hadn't seen him last time, but he was obviously Rin's Servant. She smiled cutely and gave the order: "Berserker, move!"

Without any hesitation, as the master, she will never show mercy when facing the enemy!

Chapter 70 Hey, Berserker

The black giant moved in an instant. The moment he exerted force with his feet, the ground was directly shattered. Under this huge force, the black giant turned into a cannonball and rushed towards Morpheus!

"boom!"

A deafening sound was heard, and a thin figure raised the dagger in his hand to block the stone axe, or stone knife, in the giant's hand, which was not a weapon.

Under the attack of Hercules, the ground beneath Morpheus' feet also showed signs of cracking. It was a huge force that could wrestle with Guigantes, and it was a terrifying force that could temporarily support the sky. This force now made Morpheus feel great pressure!

"Indeed, it was such a pity that I didn't have the chance to fight with you back then!" Morpheus muttered to himself, with a trace of compassion on his face. Seeing his familiar friend turned into a mad creature without much self-awareness at this moment, Morpheus felt pity and sadness.

Then, his power also exploded at this moment.

The magic spells around Morpheus began to work, allowing him to burst out with even more powerful strength. At this moment, his physical strength, endurance, etc. were greatly increased. Then, in front of Illya's surprised expression, Morpheus used the dagger in his hand to push back the stone axe in Hercules' hand!

Illya blinked, then laughed again, "Your power is great, but it's still not enough compared to Berserker!"

Illya yelled, like a child who refused to admit defeat, loudly urging her guards to work harder.

"Berserker, kill him!"

"Roar, woooooooooooooooooo!" The Berserker roared, his furious fighting spirit enveloping the surroundings. This was a street block, and if the fighting continued, this place would inevitably suffer great damage.

Strange magical fluctuations began to spread around. It was a spell called Disperse Idlers, which could allow irrelevant people around to evacuate naturally, thus creating an area without irrelevant people.

At the same time, Morpheus was fighting with Hercules at an extremely fast speed. The power of the great hero was indeed unmatched in some aspects, but Morpheus now had supersonic combat capabilities and could naturally resist this attack.

Silently calculating the time for the people around him to evacuate, Morpheus finally made a change after waiting for about ten minutes.

Morpheus jumped up, bypassed Hercules at an extremely fast speed, and rushed to Illya. This sudden change made Illya stunned and made Hercules roar. Even though he was furious, he still wanted to protect this little girl.

He charged forward again like a madman, trying to reach the girl before Morpheus, and Illya had already reacted. She raised her hand, trying to use the Command Spell to teleport her Servant directly over.

But Morpheus is faster than her!

A book emitting a faint golden light appeared in Morpheus's hand. As the pages turned, Morpheus whispered, "When night falls, Hypnos lures people into dreams."

Following Morpheus' words, the power of Hypnos, the god of sleep in Greek mythology, took effect. In the darkness of the night, Illya was suddenly overwhelmed by a sleepiness that she could not resist.

Her eyes began to sway up and down, and she could hardly hold on. No matter how much she tried to prevent herself from falling asleep, she was ultimately unable to resist this divine power, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

At the same time, Morpheus had already picked up Illya and rushed away at the fastest speed!

He was going to the place he had already prepared, which was the Emiya residence!

……

Shirou Emiya, Rin Tousaka and Altria were running towards Shirou Emiya's house at this time, but as they ran, they showed puzzled expressions.

The surrounding streets are so quiet, so quiet that it’s abnormal!

The lights in many houses have been turned off. Even in the houses where the lights are on, someone has opened the door, turned off the lights, and left.

These people ignored Shirou Emiya and others who were rushing back, and just looked at the road conditions not far away, walking faster than each other.

Soon, these people disappeared from their sight. Except for the Emiya family and the street lights, the surroundings were completely dark!

Sensing this strange change, Shirou Emiya and Altria couldn't help but become alert.

Emiya Shirou asked quietly, "What's going on? Is this some kind of magic?"

At this time, Artoria also said: "It seems that their minds have been disturbed. Could it be that these people are controlled by the magician and are being taken hostage?"

In order to win, she can give up the hostages, but it is obvious that her master is not that kind of person, so once these people become hostages, she will be in a very troublesome situation.

Fighting will inevitably lead to a situation that is very disadvantageous to oneself!

"Disperse the idlers..." Toosaka Rin whispered, then added, "Don't be nervous. This is Morpheus's magic. He used magic to disperse the people here to prevent any accidents that might cause harm to ordinary people."

"Morpheus...you just called out your servant's name. Aren't you afraid of exposing his true identity?" Altria said, but she was still slightly relieved. If she just drove the person away, then she wouldn't be in such an unfavorable situation.
