Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

The faint smile on Sajo Aika's face gradually turned into a bright smile.

"It seems that I can't stop because of those little troubles. I have to speed up the process. It will take more time to find another person who is qualified to be the reserve sacrifice for this Holy Grail War. Moreover, if this is what Roland wants, I will definitely make it happen. Even if human order really falls into chaos, I won't care."

"So, you won't cause me any more trouble, right?"

Francesca began to tremble all over at the ethereal voice of Aika Sajo.

"Yes, everything will be as you wish."

"Good, good. Then you must work harder in the Holy Grail War."

The dazzling girl nodded with satisfaction, smiled sweetly, and her dreamy figure disappeared like a bubble.

Francesca remained in this position for a while before she raised her head tremblingly.

How long had it been since she felt so insignificant and powerless?

That was a number like hundreds of years that only appeared in stories, but ever since the day when the distorted world suddenly became more chaotic, she seemed to have had bad luck.

While he was courting death and mocking Aozaki Touko in his daily life, his weakness and back-up plan were discovered by the other party, and he was killed more than 30 times in a row. In his panic, he fled and accidentally entered the Holy Grail War that he had never seen before. He finally found a potential investment target, but he met the Six Beasts and the Princess of the Origin one after another.

The experiences of the past few days were far more exciting than those in the past hundred years.

Whenever she wanted to do something, invisible obstacles began to appear as expected.

Was she being targeted by the power of inhibition? No, why would they care about this? Moreover, they tried to stop her but didn't drive her away completely. Instead, they let her fall to the bottom and feel powerless and depressed. Shouldn't this behavior be her patent?

When did inhibition become so bad?

Francesca let out a dull sigh.

"There's no other choice. I have to fight a Holy Grail War sincerely. It's also a kind of fun anyway. But who should I summon? I don't have any suitable holy relics on me. As expected, I should start summoning with my own existence as the cause. The other one is also a good helper. Maybe I can find a new opportunity. However, it's also possible that Jill will come. After all, this is a gathering that makes me feel my internal organs wailing..."

Just as Francesca was thinking seriously, heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

"I advise you not to do this."

A heavy and unfamiliar male voice echoed in her ears, causing Francesca, who had just revealed a smirk, to narrow her eyes again.

"What do you think this is, a public toilet? You can come as you please, and leave as you please! Damn it!"

Although she didn't think she was very strong, she was after all a person associated with the name of the Demon God, and was superior to ordinary elite magicians. No matter who came, she would be angry!

Francesca turned her head, ready to directly reveal Beelzebub, but as her magic gradually distorted the environment, it retreated like ice and snow in the stern eyes of the intruder.

"If you don't show your true self, the false name of the demon god will be useless to me."

The intruder looked at Francesca and did not come any closer.

"Due to the changes in the universe, unexpected disasters have decreased a lot. You have been targeted by the primate will group. Since this has happened, all your current actions are pathetic and ugly and useless. No wonder the Sixth Original Sin would treat you as a joke."

"However, a crisis is also an opportunity. Now that you have been pulled in, you can take this opportunity to use the power of the originally scheduled Master to replace your own actions and create new changes for this war. In this matter, I can provide you with a little help."

"The Princess of the Origin is indeed omnipotent, but she has not yet increased her own power, and yet she is trying to control two original sins. This is your chance."

"You can't defeat the Root Princess, but you don't need to defeat her either. You just need to make this world irreparable. Use everything you are good at to add fuel to the fire and make the situation get out of control."

Francesca felt the knowledge that echoed directly in her mind with a confused look on her face, and her eyes became strange. She questioned in a cold voice.

"Who are you? It's basic courtesy to state your name before taking advantage of someone."

In response to this question, the man with nine rings on his hands just lowered his head in silence and looked into the distance, as if he was afraid of something.

"For some reason, I can only appear briefly before the summoning is completed, and then I have to leave here. However, if you really want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you.

——I am the Magic King, Solomon."

Chapter 245 The Heroic Spirits Arrive One After Another

Toosaka Rin also sprinkled the last bit of gem powder in her hand.

She was in the basement of her rented house, looking at the magnificent magic circle in front of her and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

"It's done. The spiritual veins are gradually becoming active. It really was a good idea to spend a lot of money to rent this villa."

Although she was often mocked by Roland for being unreliable at critical moments, Toosaka Rin firmly believed that it was just an accidental situation caused by her ignorance of the world when she was young and bad luck. She only needed to make more preparations, use all the power she could hold, and the amazing wisdom she and Ishtar had honed in the cruel war, to make up for these shortcomings.

"In this Holy Grail War, since the news was announced rather suddenly, I am probably the only truly experienced participant. Let's start summoning without further delay."

According to the orthodox rituals, the time and order of summoning at the beginning of the Holy Grail War are within a certain limit. If they are summoned prematurely, it will place an unnecessary burden on the Master. For Toosaka Rin, who is risking everything in this war, this action seems very unwise.

But this is also relative. If she can find the right time point that she can bear, it means that she will definitely be able to help her servant obtain the desired rank.

This choice will not be wrong...If the great hero really comes like last time, I will be the only one who wins!

Toosaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took out her holy relic. Although she had seen it many times before, the scabbard, lying in the carefully woven silk brocade, still looked majestic and dazzling, like a work of art. The girl still let out a small exclamation.

Although she had mortgaged all of the Tōsaka family's real estate to Roland for this relic, and even gave up the management rights, the price she paid was not small, but in the past ten years, due to the decline of the family business, not to mention paying back the money, even the balance of income and expenditure of her magic training could only be said to be barely maintained. Tōsaka Rin had long been accustomed to begging Roland for another year to pay back the money.

Kirei and Medea had been helping her manage the sacred land of Fuyuki City, and after she went to study abroad at the Clock Tower, she would hand it over to them. It didn't make any difference anyway.

This is what they call "too much debt, no worries", but if I lose this time, I'm afraid I won't even have the money for a plane ticket to London, and I can only ask him for help...

No - I can't think about that right now!

Toosaka Rin patted her cheeks until she calmed down again.

Although judging from the fate they had last time, she could definitely summon Ishtar, and although Toosaka Rin had some complaints about the character of the Venus Goddess, her strength was unquestionable. If it weren't for her, she would never have been able to survive so leisurely to the end of the last Holy Grail War.

But as someone who has been close to Ishtar throughout the entire Holy Grail War, Toosaka Rin knows that she may be the most suitable choice for her, but she is definitely not the best.

To win, you have to be more aggressive.

Ishtar was certainly outstanding, and both her Noble Phantasm and her normal output were exceptional, but it was an indisputable fact that it was very expensive to fight her. What's more, she had no means to reverse the irresistible crisis.

Although she did not want to speculate on the origin of this Holy Grail War with malicious intent, the fact that the entire system was reconstructed in just ten years, and the style was very different from before, all seemed too suspicious to Toosaka Rin, who knew the inside story.

Not only did the location become the mixed Tokyo, but even the shape of the Command Spell was changed drastically. Most importantly, according to the division of the Holy Grail, she was a fifth-rank power angel.

Toosaka Rin is very clear about how excellent her qualifications are. She can always maintain her elegant and confident demeanor, which is largely due to this confidence.

Even though she was born in the impoverished Toosaka family and had to rely on self-study to learn about magic most of the time, Toosaka Rin did not think that her future achievements would be inferior to the monarch of the Clock Tower. This pride had long been deeply engraved in the girl's heart.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how incredible she felt when she found out that the Holy Grail considered her strength to be only the lowest among the masters this time.

If this strange judgment had not been made by a human being but by the Holy Grail system, which is a miracle itself, Toosaka Rin would have suspected whether this was a misunderstanding.

She was only the fifth, what kind of existence was the first-rank Seraphim? Was she the legendary magician, or was she the same monster as last time?

To do this, she must have a heroic spirit who can turn the tide, and in the girl's opinion, there is no better choice than King Arthur.

Strong, loyal, gentle, as long as the contract is signed, he will always stand on the side of the Master. Not only does he not have to worry about the possibility of being stabbed in the back, but if the situation of the Holy Grail War gets out of control, he still has the holy sword that can cut off all evil and make the final decision as a backup.

Then, the girl raised her hand without hesitation and made a declaration in a clear and sharp voice, chanting an incantation that seemed like a curse to everything, but also like a blessing to herself.

The magic power summoned by the spell turned into a strong wind, surging continuously in the room and stirring in the magic circuits. The flowing magic power inevitably made Toosaka Rin's emotions swell.

The gem powder storing magic power ignited with a faint blue flame, and the speed at which the magic power flowed through Toosaka Rin's body suddenly accelerated. At this rate, she would be drained before the ritual was completed.

There is no record of this situation in the Tōsaka family's books, so how could this happen? Was there something disturbing about the catalyst like last time?

The chill and pain in her body made Toosaka Rin unable to control her wild thoughts, but soon the girl regained her composure.

It's impossible. Using this scabbard as a catalyst, even if you want to summon a being other than King Arthur, it's a fantasy. It must be the influence of the early summoning.

Although her personality is sometimes a little off, unlike Toosaka Tokiomi, Toosaka Rin's elegance and composure are innate. The more difficulties she encounters, the more her tenacious spirit will shine.

Toosaka Rin, who had already made a plan, quickly grasped the gem on her chest, turned the magic power accumulated over the past decade into a solid backing, and stubbornly resisted the pressure from the magic circle.

Gradually, when the shining tiny lightning replaced the subsided strong wind and a misty white fog lingered between the collisions in the air, Toosaka Rin was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Success!"

The figure that appeared in the white mist exuded an overwhelming presence like a storm and a glow.

One only needs to see the other person to understand that he is a noble existence that transcends fantasy.

——No, I need to confirm it again.

Toosaka Rin suppressed her excitement and took a deep breath.

"Saber, your real name is Arthur Pendragon!"

"Indeed," a clear and sharp voice came out from the white mist that was beginning to dissipate, "May I ask, are you my Master?"

Won!

Although the voice seemed a little soft and somewhat distorted compared to the sunny and cheerful voice in her memory, since the servant admitted it himself, she naturally would not doubt it anymore.

This time the failure has been solved by my own plan, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

"Yes, I am your Master, Saber! This time, we will definitely win the Holy Grail War..."

Toosaka Rin clenched her fists, resisted the urge to cheer, and tried hard to maintain her image as a reliable Master.

But when she saw the petite girl emerging from the white mist, dressed in a pale knight's garb, gazing at her with emerald eyes, the expression on her face froze before she could even finish her words.

-

Ayaka Sajo looked at the dozens of clinging white pigeons gathered at her feet, and she squatted down obediently, staying in the corner with the pigeons, as if she wanted to save some space for the girl in the center of the garden.

"Ayaka, you don't have to be so far away," Sajo Aika blinked her aqua blue eyes and said with a half smile, "It's just a Holy Grail War, and it's the same thing as this morning's cooking practice. There's no need to worry about it."

The voice of Shatiao Aige is clear and bright, just like a flower that never withers and is spotless.

That innocent and pure expression allowed Sajo Ayaka to clearly see her sister's true heart.

The so-called Holy Grail War is equivalent to cooking in Aika Sajo's eyes. Ayaka admires her sister's confident attitude from the bottom of her heart, but she is still very self-aware. She shook her head firmly and rejected Aika Sajo's invitation.

What is very simple for my sister may be something I will never be able to do in my entire life.

Seeing Ayaka's actions, Sajo Aika didn't care. She was like a flower covered with morning dew swaying gently in the wind in this small garden, and the emerald skirt bloomed like a flower bud as it spun.

Looking at her sister who looked like a fairy from a fairy tale and sparkled even when dancing alone, the admiration on Sajo Ayaka's face grew even stronger.

"Preparations for the summoning are complete."

Aika Sajo smiled slightly and looked at the ground under her feet. The traces left by her slender toes as she skimmed across the garden soil had formed the shape of a magic circle.

There is not even the material to conduct magic power and form the basis of the ritual array. In the eyes of any magician, this ritual array is like child's play. Even a simple ritual array made of poultry blood is not much more formal than this.

But for Aika Sajo, this is all the preparation she needs.

"Now that the first Heroic Spirit has appeared, I should also work hard."

She snapped her fingers, and with this action, this three-no ritual formation, which had no altar, no materials, and no environment, and would make knowledgeable onlookers furious and ask harsh questions like "Do you treat the Holy Grail War as a game?", still lit up with a dim light.

"Let me see, who should I choose?"

Without even a proper chant, the girl showed an innocent expression, slightly shook her slender fingers, and whispered in distress.

Aika Sajo did not add any unnecessary restrictions to this Holy Grail War. Although there are still seven servants and the same old classes, the rules allow for summoning other characters.

The rules that were originally added on a whim to make the ceremony more magnificent were now truly returning to her.

For the Princess of the Origin, relics are unnecessary. As long as there are Heroic Spirits that can be summoned, she can summon them. Even if the Servant resists the summoning itself, it cannot prevent this action from being established.

Be it the realm record tape or the restraining force, in front of the power she possesses, they can only be left to their own devices.

But this kind of happy distress is also a big trouble for Sajo Aika.

She is indeed an omniscient and omnipotent being, able to freely judge the strengths and weaknesses and merits of the heroic spirits, but as a girl, she has just been born.

When it comes to Roland, everything in the world is full of surprises and unknowns for Sajo Aika. This brings her happiness, but also reduces her observation of the future. She used to have absolute foresight and would always choose the correct answer, but now, her eyes are filled with thousands of possibilities.

"Should I summon a stronger one, or choose a Heroic Spirit that is beyond the standard and will make the world more interesting... Well, after all, it is better to choose a stronger one. After all, we still need to eliminate some combinations quickly."

"It seems that looking for people from things that have deviated from the human track and have been abandoned is also a good choice, but it still feels a bit wrong."

Sajo Aika's expression gradually changed, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned to look at the little girl who was huddled among the pigeons next to her.

"Ayaka, what do you think? If we have to choose a sacrifice, what criteria do you think would be better?"

Sajo Ayaka, who was pointed at, stared in amazement at the ritual formation that was still lit. Not only did she not have to concentrate when performing the ritual, she also had the leisure to chat with her. Is this her sister's level?

However, since it was rare for her sister to ask her questions, Sajo Ayaka also started to think quickly.

If it was something else, she might not be able to provide any help to her sister, but if it was about sacrifice, that was another matter.

The black magic passed down by the Sajo family relies on the pain of the sacrifice as the source of power. Because Sajo Aika does not need anyone to teach her, Ayaka has been receiving the true teachings from her father most of the time.

Hiroki Sajo had emphasized to her countless times that she must not resonate with the sacrifice, otherwise the hesitation and confusion caused by it would only harm herself as a magician.

Ayaka also wanted to respond to her father's expectations, but she just couldn't do it.

Ayaka Sajo looked at the white pigeons still pecking at the tips of her shoes and sighed softly. She had decided every time to kill one with her own hands, but she had never done it. Instead, because of the daily feeding, these pigeons that were supposed to be sacrifices became closer and closer to her.
