Fate/Magus Path

39 Gas Leak!

"The contract between Tohsaka Tokiomi and Archer has been severed, and Matou Kariya has also died along with Berserker..."

Hearing this good news, Amakusa Shirou looked up at the enormous cross hanging on the wall behind him, a smile spreading across his face.

Caster and Berserker had both confirmed their exit and now it was only a matter of time before Archer followed suit.

Meanwhile, Lancer's fate with his Master remained uncertain, but they still had two surviving combatants and multiple Command Seals on their side. Things seemed to be progressing quite smoothly.

Assassin had also discovered Rider's stronghold; as long as they maintained this momentum and eliminated them, the Holy Grail War could be declared over.

This is good news...

As long as he held out until the end, he would be the ultimate winner.

However, dealing with the aftermath of this Holy Grail War was indeed a bit troublesome...

...

Winter, Fuyuki City.

[Good Morning...]

The television was broadcasting news about last night's unusual occurrences.

[Hello everyone, this is a report from the Fuyuki City Radio. First, at 2,17 AM today, a serious fire broke out at the Tohsaka residence in the suburbs of Fuyuki City, and no casualties have been found so far. According to the results of investigations by the police and relevant experts, it has been confirmed that the fire was caused by an explosion due to a gas leak...]

In a remote outpost in Fuyuki City, Roy was leisurely having breakfast with Waver, who was wrapped in bandages. At that moment, the television news reported on the brutal battlefield where Saber and Berserker had teamed up to fight Gilgamesh the previous night.

Upon seeing this news, Rider tapped his ears, lamenting that he hadn't participated in such a fierce battle last night, while Waver looked on in disbelief.

He had been inexplicably caught in an explosion set off by the explosive genius Emiya Kiritsugu and had almost been sent to the skies. Now, waking up early in the morning, he was informed by Roy about how spectacular last night's battle had been.

Even a Master had died, Berserker had exited, and Tohsaka Tokiomi had also withdrawn from the Holy Grail War. This turn of events could not be described as anything but fortunate.

Now, with Professor Kayneth's fate uncertain, it seemed that Roy's Servant had betrayed him. With Tohsaka Tokiomi's withdrawal, their remaining targets were certainly him and Roy. In this Holy Grail War filled with big shots and lunatics, Waver felt an overwhelming lack of security as a novice magus.

His original stubbornness had completely vanished after witnessing the brutality of the Holy Grail War. He had come to deeply understand his own weakness. Without Kayneth's companionship, he felt utterly helpless; even Roy, who had only just become a magus, far surpassed him.

"Berserker has exited the battle..."

"What a shame. If such a strong warrior could be brought under my command, conquering the world would surely be much easier."

"Idiot Rider, why are you still thinking about conquering the world at a time like this? We should be figuring out how to deal with the enemy first!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, kid. With me here, I will definitely protect you. Didn't I promise to take you to see the end of the sea?"

Iskandar chuckled, saying seriously, "Even when I gain a physical body and start conquering the world, I will still be your Servant."

"That's not the point!"
