Fate/Magus Path

118 Dead Apostle Ancestors

In a spacious room inside the Misaki Church, Emiya Kiritsugu, forced to wear shackles, was imprisoned here.

He leaned against the wall, staring at the chandelier above, lost in thought.

Early yesterday morning, after completing his task with Roy, he happened to encounter several shadowy figures prowling in the night on his way back.

Driven by the rekindled sense of justice he had regained, he chose to quietly follow them.

Soon, he stumbled upon a scene where several low-ranking Dead Apostles were attacking a drunken man on a remote slope.

As they pinned down the middle-aged man, exposing their fangs and preparing to feast, Kiritsugu, driven by a desire to save, intervened and rescued the unfortunate man.

However, since this was in the city, using firearms could lead to unnecessary trouble. Thus, he took out a black key soaked in holy water provided by Kotomine Kirei and using his Time Alter ability, nailed the monsters to the wall, successfully saving the man.

Originally, this was just a typical act of heroism, and after dealing with the Dead Apostles, he should have quickly left the scene.

But, coincidentally, he wasn't the only one drawn to the low-ranking Dead Apostles; there were also professionals in this field.

Before he could evacuate, the church's Executor blocked his path. The Executor's power was terrifying; even with his Time Alter, he couldn't escape.

After a brief confrontation, he recognized that the other party was not an ordinary cleric. Having investigated her information, he realized she was a member of the Burial Agency from the Holy Church!

Considering the gap in their abilities and recalling his own lack of equipment, as well as his current aim to deal with the Dead Apostles, he didn't want to clash with the local church's Executor.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu decisively chose to surrender and followed her to this church. However, before he was taken away, he found an opportunity to send a distress signal to his boss with his phone.

Knowing the capabilities of his employer, he believed Roy would easily be able to extract him from this situation.

After all, a mere church division, even with members of the Burial Agency, shouldn't be able to stop him.

After all, he was a monster who could fight Servants and Magician!

...

Outside the room, in the cathedral's reception hall.

Roy, accompanied by Shiki, was having a friendly meeting with the local Executor.

However, this Executor was not the traditional image of a middle-aged priest but a blue-haired girl, a member of the Burial Agency.

The Burial Agency is the strongest department within the Holy Church, comprised of members with the highest combat abilities. The selection criteria for this department are not based on faith or loyalty to God but purely on the ability and determination to eliminate heretics. Thus, most of the members here are somewhat mentally unstable.

Regarding this, Ciel also agreed; she didn't consider herself a normal person either.

But among people, there are always more extreme ones. In the Burial Agency, her current state was already considered one of the more normal individuals.

Roy was aware of this.

This blue-haired girl cleric was likely named Ciel...

She appeared as one of the character arcs in Tsukihime, and more importantly, she was the previous reincarnation of the Dead Apostle, Roa.
