Miss Surtr will ignite the world

The conversation between the two continued.

Surtr shook his head at Rider.

She naturally refused to answer that question; she had no interest in conquering the world.

"Yeah."

As if he already knew the answer, Rider didn't press the matter but continued speaking.

"In that case, how about I give you my name at the end? You don't have any rules about not revealing your real name, do you?"

"Hmm...no problem."

After thinking about it, Surtr felt that he had no need to hide his real name.

So she spoke.

"I'm."

“Surtr”.

fsn: Chapter 23, "The Tohsaka Family Affairs," will be serialized soon.

"Surtr?"

"Ah."

"That fire giant who destroyed the world?"

"Just the same name."

"Then what is that sword called?"

"It's Levantine."

"..."

The conversation abruptly stopped, and the surrounding air became quiet. Miss Surtr, with her keen hearing, heard someone breathing heavily.

pat.

Something fell to the ground.

Looking in the direction of the sound, there was a cigar that had rolled on the ground, rolling around several times.

"...Excuse me."

After a moment of silence, Weber pushed up his glasses, which weren't even visible between his brows, and spoke in a way that revealed no emotion.

The monarch's emotional control is truly superb; his hands were clearly trembling slightly.

Surtr thought to himself,

The little head under Gray's gray robe glanced around, and seeing that no one reacted, he jumped out of the car and helped the other person pick up the cigar.

"master."

Hesitantly, Weber took the cigar, held it in his palm, and made no intention of smoking it.

The current situation is clearly not suitable for smoking, unless they also want one.

Why don't we just ask?

This idea appeared for a fraction of a second before being completely forgotten.

He took out the cigar not to smoke it, but because it looked like a cigar. It was actually a trinket to calm his mind. Even without using it, holding it in his hand could have some effect.

But now it seems to be having the exact opposite effect.

Weber felt his face turn red; if there were a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it on the spot—it was just too embarrassing.

But we can't really blame him. Does a magician who can remain unmoved after hearing that conversation really exist?

Surtr, the legendary giant who destroyed the world.

Even if the girl in front of him wasn't the fire giant in its true form, she was definitely someone with whom he had a very close relationship.

Moreover, unlike Gray, who is a "half-finished product," the other party is genuine, a living mystery.

This can be seen from the fact that the opponent effortlessly used three attacks in succession that were comparable to Noble Phantasms; his body alone is probably no different from that of a giant.

So what exactly is going on in this Holy Grail War? Why did such a monster appear?

The combination of the Conqueror King and the Holy Lance would be a sure win in a typical Holy Grail War, but so far, every opponent they have faced has been no less formidable.

This is a bit too outrageous.

Weber regretted not being more shameless and inviting all the guys in the classroom.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

"Haha, what's wrong, kid? Scared?"

Rider's triumphant shout snapped Webber out of his reverie.

"No, I'm just surprised."

Weber shook his head in denial; as the other side's subordinate, he would never show weakness in front of the enemy.

“Very good. To be honest, I was also surprised. I didn’t expect the other party to have such a powerful background.”

Rider patted the other person on the shoulder, looking at Surtr with an excited expression.

"But I am also very excited. The stronger the opponent, the more worthwhile it is to conquer."

"You will be defeated by me, as the first step in conquering this world."

He raised his arms high and uttered words that sounded like a declaration of war—no, this was a declaration of war.

"How arrogant!"

Medea responded.

The other person's arrogant remarks made her feel uneasy, and their rugged appearance was completely outside her aesthetic preferences, making her increasingly dislike them.

"I will destroy you, along with your army."

Surtr spoke in a flat tone as if stating a fact.

Surtr had absolutely no idea what the three guys in front of him wanted.

Rider wants to conquer the world with his own hands, Waver wants to achieve victory together with him, and Gray hopes that Waver's wish can come true.

Even with very generous rewards, there's absolutely no chance of completing it.

She was more interested in the walking gems in Rider's Army than in that.

If it weren't too dangerous to go in directly, she would have taken action right now.

Then they adopt a stance of evenly matched strength, retreat, then re-enter, then retreat again, repeating this process three or four times.

That would be far more profitable than the old bug's.

"Let's wait and see."

A flicker of surprise crossed the rider's mind, followed by a hearty laugh. He tossed the reins, steered the oxcart into the sky, and drove away from the battlefield.

"Let's go too."

Surtr glanced back at the chaotic street, bent down and carried the reluctant Illya, and left the spot with Medea.

Although it's not a good idea to think that way, she was actually quite looking forward to tonight's news.

Although this is not good.

Not long after the two left, on a nearby building, a girl wearing a red coat and with her hair in pigtails stared blankly at the street below, which looked as if it had been plowed by cannons several times.

"Archer, the Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret, right?"

Rin's tone was weak and listless, as if she was about to burn out even though she hadn't done anything yet.

The magician's ironclad rule is to maintain secrecy. If any mysterious leaks occur on this land, the first person held accountable by the Magicians' Association will be her, as the land's administrator.

Even if they give away all their wealth, it would be the best outcome. They might even incur a huge debt. In that case, forget about the jewels they use to practice magic; they might actually have to start serializing "The Tohsaka Family Affairs".

"Rin, on the bright side, at least they knew to evacuate the crowd in advance."

Archer offered a consolation that wasn't really a consolation.

"Ha, I'm too naive to expect others to obediently follow the rules."

He let out a long sigh.

Rin suddenly understood the meaning of the Holy Grail War. A single battle could cause such massive destruction; calling it a war was entirely accurate.

"There are three completely different traces of magic at the scene, probably a three-way battle, no, one against two. The magic that looks like it's about to burst into flames is clearly overwhelming the other two. Tsk, is it that horned girl again? She's really active."

Since she didn't know the other person's name, Rin simply referred to Surtr by the other person's features.

Even without seeing the battlefield directly, one can deduce the general situation from the traces alone, which is why Rin was even more surprised.

That guy's strength is way beyond the limit; he's fighting two against one and doesn't seem to have lost yet.

What a monster!

And after two consecutive nights of large-scale battles, doesn't that guy get tired at all?

Rin mentally raised Surtr's danger level several levels higher.

"Archer, can you tell who won?"

"No, it depends on the situation. It's more likely to be a lose-lose situation."

Archer shook his head.

The current situation has become so complicated that even he, who experienced the Fifth Holy Grail War, is completely unaware of it.

This world is completely different from what he had experienced before.

"Really? Never mind then."

Rin looked up and glanced at the sky.

The sun had already set, and dark clouds shrouded the earth. To be honest, now should be the time for the Holy Grail War to begin.

The thought of those guys who had absolutely no sense of secrecy gave Rin a splitting headache.

"We need to make our move tonight too; we can't let them get ahead of us forever."

Rin gave instructions to Archer.

Rather than passively waiting for someone to come to her, she prefers to take the initiative.

Furthermore, this period also allows you to observe which Master is suitable to be an ally.

Uniting the weak to eliminate the strong is a perfectly reasonable strategy.

"Understood, Master."

"Then without further ado, a pair of Servants are coming this way."

Archer's gaze pierced through the gaps in the building and met a pair of bloodshot eyes, as red as a wild beast's.

Lancer has arrived.

fsn: Chapter 24 Picking Up a Loli

Meanwhile, Ryudong Temple.

"What a shabby workshop."

As soon as she entered the mountain gate, Ilya made a sharp comment with her small mouth.

She hugged her completely flat chest with both hands, pouted, and showed no remorse whatsoever as a captive.

Perhaps it's just a case of giving up.

Anyway, having lost this Holy Grail War, I don't have many days left to live, so I can't expect to be treated any worse than this.

With this in mind, Ilya felt much more relaxed.

Moreover, the black-robed woman in front of him who had stabbed him twice was utterly repulsive.

There's no way we can win in a fight; we can only resort to verbal sparring.

Due to time constraints, and given Surtr's own strength being sufficient to make a grand impression, Medea didn't put too much effort into the decorations of Ryudouji Temple. Compared to the temple in the original work, the current workshop could be described as shabby.

However, the sarcasm in Ilya's words was still palpable, and it was obvious that she was deliberately trying to provoke Medea.
