A Bloody Night!

Chapter 35. A Night of Bloodshed and Chaos!

"Rider, what are we doing here?"

You'll understand in a moment.

Without concealing their presence, Lelouch and Waver simply parked their mechs at the church entrance and walked in through the main road.

"Um?"

"What brings Rider and his Master to the church?"

Kotomine Risei immediately noticed the arrival of the master and servant. Standing inside the church, he asked with a calm expression.

He did not believe that the other party would attack him in a way that would cause harm or injury.

Even if it's about Command Seals, the corresponding knowledge of contracts is required for the transfer.

Therefore, even if someone came to kill him, they couldn't possibly steal his Command Seals.

Instead, they will be branded as attackers of the supervisor and thus be attacked by other masters and servants.

Moreover, he himself is a master of martial arts; even if he can't defeat a Heroic Spirit, he can at least hold his own.

Therefore, Kotomine Risei has no worries about being hurt by others.

There's something I'd like to confirm.

Waver looked at Lelouch walking ahead, still unable to figure out what the other was up to after hearing his words.

"Oh? If it is something I know, then I will certainly answer for you, Emperor of Britain."

Very dignified, Kotomine Riku was responding.

"According to your previous description, the reward for this raid was supposed to be given to every Master who participated, right?"

"Yes. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Feeling vaguely uneasy, Kotomine Ryougi replied with a frown, his hands, hidden behind his back, gently clenching into fists.

Although he didn't know what this mysterious British emperor was there for, he remained vigilant.

"So, is it possible for a Master to receive two Command Seals as a reward?"

"What kind of joke is this! How could such a thing possibly happen?"

"I know you have doubts, but the church's overseers will not break the rules without authorization."

Shaking his head, Kotomine Ryougi explained in a very righteous and stern manner.

He possesses many Command Seals left by previous participants in the Holy Grail War, which allows him to maintain a certain degree of impartiality in upholding order.

Even though he was on good terms with Tokiomi Tohsaka and his son was Tokiomi's disciple, Kotomine Risei never gave Tokiomi any special training in Command Seals.

At most, it informed other Masters of their information and current situation.

From this perspective, he can be considered relatively "fair".

"So, Command Seals can indeed be acquired in multiples, right?"

The old man in front of him did not refute the key point, and Lelouch's lips curled up slightly as he asked for the information he really wanted.

「!?」

Sensing an inexplicable danger, Kotomine Ritsu instinctively backed away.

However, in his field of vision, he saw strange icons and red light emanating from the eyes of the malevolent spirit before him.

The iconic "starting gesture" words echoed in my ears.

"In the name of Lelouch vi Britannia, I issue this order!"

…………

"It's so slow, Rider and the others haven't arrived yet."

Saber didn't know how long she had been waiting, but the person she was waiting for hadn't shown up yet.

15 minutes

But Kiritsugu knew exactly how much time had passed since he contacted the other party.

No matter how you look at it, given the Rider's mobility, it shouldn't have taken that long.

If this is the reason, then there is only one possibility.

The other party is making other arrangements.

With a furrowed brow, Kiritsugu suddenly had a bad feeling.

He had a very bad feeling about the young British emperor.

"Bang!!"

Just then, a loud noise came from the house in front of Saber, which drew his attention.

A young girl suddenly emerged from inside, grabbing the blond young man by the back of his collar.

"Huh? Why is Saber here too?!"

"Hey, the house has been vandalized."

"Lancer and Caster together?"

Seeing the two of them looking like that, Saber and Kiritsugu were both stunned for a moment.

This seems to be somewhat different from what the intelligence reports said.

"Saber, let's test the waters first. It's highly likely that Caster and Lancer have teamed up."

"We've already moved far away from the scene," Kiritsugu Emiya said, standing on a tall building and looking over there with binoculars.

"clear."

Following instructions, Saber also switched to her holy sword and armor.

"Are you going to kick me when I'm down too?!"

Sakura Kyoko glared at Saber and then shouted.

She still remembers the trouble Saber's group caused her.

"It seems we can't leave the castle today unless we deal with them."

Although she didn't know why she was being surrounded by Saber, Sakura Kyoko knew that if she didn't defeat her, things wouldn't end well today.

"Hey, you go deal with Saber then, I'll handle Assassin."

He stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and chuckled.

"Idiot, how can you still laugh at a time like this?"

"You can't go to a fight crying, can you?"

At this critical juncture, the two even had the "leisure" to exchange a few words.

"Don't die!"

"Don't die!"

But the last sentence they uttered back to back revealed their mutual advice.

"If we're both swordsmen..."

"I don't think this guy will lose!"

"Go forth, Blademaster of Flames!"

The moment Kenshin leaped out of the house, Jonouchi had already played a new monster card.

It was a strong warrior wearing a helmet and wielding an orange-red longsword, the blade wreathed in scorching flames.

"!"

Having witnessed this scene, Kenshin focused his attention; he would not underestimate the familiar summoned by Caster.

Holding their divine swords, they stared at each other, and he also caught sight of the flames enveloping the other's sword.

Even from a distance, you can feel the scorching heat.

Just as Saber wraps her sword in wind, this swordsman wraps his sword in flames.

"Then let me experience it for myself."

Kenshin said in a low voice, feeling a surge of interest in fighting his opponent.

(Assassin, this time you don't need to kill Lancer or Caster, just start a fight.)

Remembering Kirei Kotomine's instructions, Kenshin also found an opportunity to "fish in troubled waters".

"Clang!!"

"Bang!"

Meanwhile, Saber had already begun fighting with Kyoko Sakura.

"Sorry, for Sora's grudge."

"I'm still going to apply!"

Using the extension and retraction of her spear, she temporarily suppressed Saber before speaking in a righteous voice.

"!"

This was Saber's first direct confrontation with Lancer, and she suffered from the effects of that strange spear.

As for Sora's "grudge"? She knew it was Kiritsugu who did it, but there was nothing to say about it.

Since the master and servant are one, we should accept the offer when necessary.

"Hmph, you scoundrels, you're always so clueless about humor."

"The important guests haven't even arrived yet, but they've already started the banquet without permission."

"This grave offense can only be atoned with death, don't you think?"

Standing atop a tall streetlamp, clad in golden armor, Gilgamesh seemed to be talking to himself.

Behind him, on a tall building, stood the Berserker, clad in jet-black armor.

"Tonight will surely be a night of bloodshed and carnage!"
