My mother's love song

Back to Serenika, she is a black magician who comes from the Eskel family, which has a relatively ancient bloodline.

However, due to the prevalence of witch hunting in the Middle Ages, they were forced to flee to Siberia, and as a result, they lost their magic base and began to decline.

Serenike is a long-awaited newborn to this declining clan.

The old ladies who had devoted their lives to the study of the black magic doted on Serenika and thoroughly instilled the black magic into her.

The black magic rituals of the Esco family do not cause the sacrifice to fall into a trance, but to disintegrate directly.

Therefore, it is necessary to look at the target object and handle it with a cold eye, just like taking the life of the living being seriously when preparing meat.

Serenikae was so taught that she could perform any cruel mass perfectly.

However, as the saying goes, when things go to extremes, they will turn into the opposite.

Once Serenike takes off her identity as a black magician, she will completely indulge in her excessive sexual desires.

There was not a single man who had ever spent a night with her and come out unharmed.

With her innocent eyes, she thoroughly defiled, violated, inflicted pain on, and licked the tears of young boys and girls who looked out at the world.

She makes a living by killing with curses, and she travels back and forth between the boundary between magicians and magicians. She is a woman with a karma that she can only survive by being stained with blood.

This is the monster called Serenike Eskel Yugdomrenia.

"There is really no cure."

Kama let out a sigh.

It was a good thing for her that her Master was a guy who was completely obsessed with desire.

But Serenike's desires seemed shameful and deformed to Kama.

There is neither love nor mutual happiness in this violation; it is pure violence.

Therefore, Kama did not think that this was a summoning based on affinity, and he did not have a good face towards her at all.

The same goes for Serenikai.

Although he summoned a powerful Heroic Spirit like the God of Love, why

"According to legend, shouldn't Kama, the god of love, be a male god?"

Serenike looked at the girl whose beauty far surpassed that of humans and sighed sadly.

"what a pity."

Because the other person was a girl who looked to be in her teens, she had no desire to defile or abuse the Heroic Spirit.

If the other person is a man, Serenika thought to herself, she might fall in love with him.

"In short, from now on, you must use your power for my benefit, Assassin."

As long as you have the power of the god of love, no matter what kind of hero the other person is, you can make him fall in love with you.

Legend has it that the god of love Kama has a bow made of sugarcane and arrows decorated with flowers, which can awaken the lust of those who are shot.

What a convenient ability! I really drew the strongest Servant.

"..."

Kama didn't answer and fled from the room.

By the way, although Kama is a half-servant possessed by Sakura Matou, he can transform into a spirit body at will.

The reason is that her skill [Invisible EX] comes from her experience of being burned to ashes by the third eye of the God of Destruction Shiva.

What a sad story.

……

……

……

The warm lobby of the cathedral.

"It seems that our Berserker has just arrived at Tulifas."

A grey dove flew on the Red Assassin's shoulder, and she told him the message she got from the dove.

Double Summon: This is an extremely rare skill that can possess the special skills of both the Assassin and Caster classes.

Therefore, the Red Assassin is both an assassin and a magician. He is able to use pigeons as familiars in the Holy Grail War and controls the entire Tulipas intelligence network.

Her real name is Semiramis, a female ruler of the ancient Assyrian Empire and the world's oldest poisoner.

There is no doubt that as a Heroic Spirit she is the most dangerous Servant from the Master's perspective, on the same level as the Witch of Betrayal of Colchis and the Temptress of Britain.

If you are lucky, you may become a puppet like a magic battery. If you are unlucky, you will be deceived into using up all the Command Spells and die miserably.

However, this empress who is known for her betrayal and cruelty is now working wholeheartedly for the Holy Grail War.

"Archer and Rider have also arrived at Tuliface and are ready for the reserve mission."

"Oh my. Did Rider go there too?"

Archer went to track down the matter. Father Shirou and Semiramis already knew about it, but he didn't expect Rider to join in.

"He seems to be following Archer... Never mind, it's that Rider anyway. He probably wants to convince Archer, who is from the same hometown," said the Empress.

For Semiramis, Shirou Kotomine's wish is her wish.

She was more enthusiastic than anyone else in helping to win the Holy Grail War.

Father Shirou was about to thank her when a gray dove flew across in front of him.

After hearing the pigeon's report, Semiramis smiled faintly.

"Shirou. Looks like the person you're most wary of has finally arrived here."

After hearing this, clear hostility emerged in the young man's leisurely eyes, as if he was looking into the distance.

"It's Ruler."

This Holy Grail War is an extremely special battle between two camps and fourteen riders.

This is undoubtedly the largest scale in history, so the Holy Grail uses its own logic to summon a Servant to serve as the judge of this Holy Grail War, and that is Class Ruler.

They are usually led by Heroic Spirits with saintly qualities, and will not favor any one faction, but will only act to protect the concept of the [Holy Grail War] itself.

"Yes. It has been confirmed that Ruler has sneaked into Romania."

The moment Ruler appeared and infiltrated the Land of Decisive Battle, the Red Assassin's vanguard pigeons smelled the Servant's magical power that could not be completely hidden.

"How to do?"

"Kill her. Worst case scenario, it doesn't matter if it means buying a little more time."

"Then let Lancer go. If Rider is also here, the two of them can unite."

Excluding the Crimson Saber Team who are taking independent action, Father Shirou now has six Servants under his command.

Among them, Lancer and Rider are truly exceptional Heroic Spirits compared to the other four.

“I don’t think Rider would accept this mission. Even if it’s the Master’s order, ‘I hate what I hate no matter what,’ he is indeed a heroic man.”

Semiramis said with a look of disgust.

Rider is a man far from a knight serving the King.

As long as they are not satisfied, they will openly ignore even the king's orders.

There was no way a man like that would accept the order to go with Lancer to kill Ruler.

"Lancer will obey the Master's orders without hesitation."

Lancer, on the other hand, is, in a nutshell, a warrior.

As long as there is an order from the Master, he will not even have the slightest thought of disobeying and will just take action.

"Well. Then give the order to Lancer."

Father Shirou announced through Lancer's Master.

"Declaration to the Crimson Lancer. Follow the instructions of the Crimson Assassin and destroy Ruler. The release of the Noble Phantasm is up to your own judgment."

Soon, Lancer's brief reply of "I understand" came.

Then, Father Shirou said, "By the way, Assassin. Because of Berserker, the general offensive will be delayed for a while. You should take this time to rest."

In order to complete the great treasure that is the trump card of the red team, Semiramis has been chanting without sleep, food or drink for the past 72 hours.

Finally, it was completed just now.

That is the largest and most powerful anti-world treasure that Semiramis is so proud of, the Hanging Gardens of Babylone.

In fact, Semiramis had nothing to do with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was just rumored that "the Queen of Assyria was the builder of the Hanging Gardens."

Now, by utilizing the faith of a large number of misunderstood people, the Aerial Fortress has been built as the Empress's treasure.

The Noble Phantasm itself is an aerial turret with fierce firepower, and just by being in the aerial garden, Semiramis is a top-level Heroic Spirit that can rival Lancer and Rider.

But... since it is a "vain" treasure after all, the conditions for activating it are quite strict.

The chanting ceremony that lasted for three days and three nights was also a necessary ritual in order to drive a stake called "truth" into "falsehood".

Because the real world is mixed with false things, the materials used must also be real.

Preparations for the launch were finally completed after a certain amount of soil and stones were transported from ruins near Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and they were built.

In short, the cost of the materials required was enough to buy a small country. It was all the assets that Father Shirou had accumulated over the long years.

It is precisely because of this awareness and trust that Semiramis is so loyal to him as a Servant.

"Assassin, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"

Father Shirou asked worriedly as he looked at Semiramis.

"Eh, eh... nothing."

The empress covered her face with one hand, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Indeed, I am a little tired. Even I have never chanted for such a long time before. Please allow me to take my leave and rest today, Shirou."

"okay, thank you."

The young priest did not notice anything unusual about her and continued to smile as usual.

Seeing that expression, Semiramis nodded expressionlessly, then turned into a spirit and disappeared.

……

Between the luxurious thrones of the Sky Garden.

Semiramis sat on the high jade throne, biting her fingers in a way that was totally inconsistent with the demeanor of a cold and elegant queen.

"...I must respond to the Master's trust and expectations."

Shirou Kotomine is the first person who does not regard Semiramis as a woman, but gives her a high evaluation simply based on her abilities.

Therefore, the Empress eagerly hopes to contribute her part in the Holy Grail War and fulfill the young man's sad wish.

but why

My sky garden has been completed without any omissions. However,

However, the Sky Garden cannot be activated now! ?

Not a single power of the temple was activated! ?

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were indeed completed and also existed as Semiramis's treasure.

Semiramis was unable to raise the temple into the sky.

What is going wrong?

She doesn't understand.

If the Sky Garden cannot be used, I will just be a weak Assassin who has wasted a lot of the Master's resources but is worthless!

She stared at her attribute panel. The [Sky Garden of Vanity] was undoubtedly Assassin's, a treasure engraved into her spiritual base.

But it was also true that Semiramis was unable to activate the Hanging Garden at the moment.

"Why exactly...wait, could it be that..."

The empress's gaze fell on the first two words of the treasure: [vanity].
