Servants who are the incarnations of the Ascendants in this world have different limits on the number of Noble Phantasms they possess depending on their choices.
Noble Phantasms are the embodiment of their respective abilities and equipment. It can even be said that the weight of Noble Phantasms must account for at least 50% of whether they can maximize their respective strengths. Even if the basic ability parameters are so good, if there is no decisive Noble Phantasm, then he will be at an absolute disadvantage in the Holy Grail War.
Without exception, the three knights all possess five basic treasure phantom slots, and can retain their five special abilities or equipment. As for other abilities, it depends on their strength and the degree of compatibility with their class.
Berserkers, assassins, and cavalry soldiers are even more miserable. They can only have 4 basic Noble Phantasm slots, while the already weak magician is given a maximum of 6 basic Noble Phantasm slots.
Weber Velvet, as a descendant of a new magic family, the magician's bloodline has only lasted for three generations. This is undoubtedly a great disadvantage in the entire circle where the Clock Tower values bloodlines. It is precisely because of his magic bloodline that he I was challenged by my teacher and lecturer Kenneth.
However, the ambitious Weber has never been a person who is willing to bear the name of "incompetence". Ever since he accidentally heard the word Holy Grail War, he plunged into it, wanting to risk his life to prove his talent as a magician.
Just after the curse mark that only appeared when selected by the Holy Grail appeared on the back of his hand, Weber once again confirmed in his heart that his idea was correct and that hard work could change the magic bloodline.
In the home of an ordinary foreign old couple in Fuyuki City, Weber, who successfully made the couple believe that he was their grandson by magic, had already hidden himself before the Holy Grail War was about to start.
"Hehe, as long as I have this holy relic, I will be able to summon the most powerful servant!"
Weber, who was only holding a corner of the cloak on Alexander the Great's shoulder, felt his blood boil at this moment. At the same time, the summoning ceremony drawn with chicken blood at his feet made him tremble. The cruelty of the Holy Grail War was not something he, a magician, The fledgling can understand that only the most powerful magicians will survive the battle.
In another place thousands of miles away from Japan, in an old castle wrapped in ice and snow, Emiya Kiritsugu, Einzbern's adopted son-in-law, also received the Holy Spirit carefully prepared by Einzbern. relic.
When Emiya Kiritsugu held the scabbard of the legendary holy sword with both hands, even though he was not an authentic magician, but a magician spurned by the devil, he could not calm down for a long time.
Old man Ahad, the old patriarch of the Einzbern clan, was staring at the scabbard in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand with his sunken eyes.
"Using this thing as a medium, I think I can summon the strongest Servant as the Heroic Spirit of the Sword! Kiritsugu, just think of this as the Einzbern family's greatest aid to you."
The old man Ahad didn't look at his son-in-law at all when he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu. Instead, he looked like he was looking at a carefully prepared tool, or to be more precise, a weapon.
Emiya Kiritsugu and even Einzbern's background was so deep that at this moment, he could only pretend to be expressionless and stiff, and lowered his head deeply.
There are five other people in the whole world who are holding carefully prepared holy relics like Weber and Emiya Kiritsugu.
Some of them had prepared for today as early as eight years ago, practicing hard in magic, screening and searching for holy relics, and even the state of the summoning ceremony, etc., in order to obtain the legendary magic weapon that can fulfill all wishes. Holy Grail, some of them can be said to have put in countless hardships.
And all this will be answered on this day.
The Matou family mansion in Fuyuki City, Japan. As a Japanese magician family, the Matou family looks like an ordinary mansion, but it has a dark side that ordinary people don't know.
Directly below the basement of this mansion, there is the insect warehouse hidden deep underground. This is the place Matou Kariya hates the most, but it is also the place he is most familiar with this year.
In order to save Sakura, he has suffered unimaginable torture in this insect warehouse for the past year, and finally made him, a person with little magic talent, possess magic power and became a half-assed magician, but compared with On the contrary, he has very little life left.
The left half of Matou Kariya's body has been paralyzed due to torture, and his face is almost disfigured. To outsiders, he looks as scary as a ghost.
"Hehehehe... Kariya, let me see your consciousness! Win for me the Holy Grail, which is called the almighty cauldron..."
"Shut up! Matou Zouken, I only want to save Sakura when I join the Holy Grail War. I don't want any magician's tricks or the Holy Grail!"
Even though he was deeply afraid that his nominal father, Matou Zouken, was actually his great-grandfather who had lived for an unknown number of years, Kariya still couldn't help but retort.
"Hehe... It's up to you, but you have memorized the summoning spell accurately."
As if to make sure everything was safe, Matou Zouken asked again.
Kariya frowned and did not nod in the insect warehouse that was full of rotten odor and water vapor. Although the visibility in the insect warehouse was extremely poor, it still could not be hidden from Matou Zangyan's eyes.
"Very good! Just remember to add two more spells in the middle of your spell!"
Matō Zouken spoke in an understatement, but Kariya's already numb mind still instinctively felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.
"What's the meaning?"
Looking at Kariya with a puzzled expression, Matou Zangyan smiled sinisterly on his face. His stooped and thin body suddenly raised the crutch in his hand, and suddenly hit Yan Ye's stomach.
"Well-"
Suddenly hit by this blow, Kariya fell to the ground holding his stomach without any resistance.
But Matō Zouken showed no mercy at all, and continued to hit Kariya mercilessly with the crutch, and kept saying contemptuous sounds: "Isn't this an obvious thing? Kariya, as a magician, your Compared with other Masters, his talent is not inferior at all, but this will affect the basic abilities of the servants... "
"... In this case, the only way to make up for it is through the Servant class, and the parameters must be fundamentally improved.
The Servant's class is determined in advance by adjusting the summoning spell.
Normally, when a summoned heroic spirit obtains the rank of a Servant, it is inevitably determined by the attributes of that heroic spirit. However, there are exceptions, and there are two classes that can be decided in advance by the summoner.
One is Assassin. Heroic spirits belonging to this class can be preset as a group of assassins who have inherited the name of Hassan Sabha.
Then the other class is for all heroic spirits. As long as you add other elements, it can be realized. So this time, let’s add the attribute of madness to the summoned Servant. "
Regarding Matou Zouken's decision, Kariya, who had no intention of resisting even though he was the master, could only nod in agreement. Even though Kariya is several times stronger than before, facing this old monster, he can still only surrender to his lustful power.
When Kariya's condition is adjusted to the best, the best opportunity to summon a servant also appears at this moment.
declare—
You are beneath me, and I entrust my fate to your sword.
Follow the call of the Holy Grail. If you follow this will and the laws of heaven, you will answer immediately!
While speaking the summoning word, Matou Kariya only felt that the engraved insects all over his body were frantically tearing at his own flesh and blood. Although the magic power appeared in large quantities, it gave Kariya an experience that was worse than life.
However, in order to successfully summon the servant, Kariya could only grit his teeth and endure it while continuing to chant the spell.
I swear here that I will do good in the world and eliminate all evil in the world.
…
As the spell was chanted, Yan Ye also successfully joined the two Zhou Yu who decided to forcibly change his class to a berserker at the cost of depriving the heroic spirit of rationality.
Make your eyes blurry and your mind furious. Prisoners on the threshold of madness. I am the master of this chain!
While the incantation was being recited, the engraving insects started to move crazily, causing Kariya's body to twist. The capillaries all over his body burst and leaked a lot of blood, and the remaining intact eyeball of Kariya was even more damaged by this. Blood and tears were left, and blood and tears flowed all over the face.
But even so, Kariya still forced himself to finish reciting the spell, otherwise the ceremony would be incomplete and the command would fail, and his plan to save Sakura would have completely failed.
The spirit of speech that surrounds you is from the Wheel of Suppression, the guardian of Libra!
When this sentence ended, Yanye felt his body relax, as if all the mountains he was carrying were completely left behind.
Lightning and thunder, wind and cloud rolling holes.
As the magic array was completely activated, a brilliant golden light flashed out from the magic array. Before Matou Kariya and Matou Zouken raised their heads to look at the summoned servants in front of them, they felt an irresistible and powerful force coming from the person who appeared in front of them.
"Kneel down, ant!"
thump-
Matou Kariya, who was already weak, couldn't bear the pressure and fell down directly. When he looked next to him, he saw that his Matou Zangyan, which he revered like a god and demon, also looked like a demon at this time. Prone on the ground like a clown.
Although Matou Kariya felt very uncomfortable at this time, looking at Matou Kariya lying on the ground, he felt an unprecedented sense of excitement, as if seeing Matou Zangyan suffer was the most pleasurable thing for him. program.
"How is it possible... How could Berserker, who has lost his mind, do this?"
Matou Zouken, an old monster, was a little confused at this time as to how Berserker could behave like this.
"It's such a disgusting place, but since it's in the insect library, you must be Matou Kariya, right?"
Matou Kariya reluctantly raised his head and looked up at the figure walking in front of him.
Is this a Berserker
Kariya never imagined that the servant he summoned would look like this. Although the clothes were a bit strange (a black version of the god's robe), he looked like the boy next door, even though the boy next door was handsome. A little, the strength is a little scary, but no matter how you look at it, he looks nothing like the legendary Lancelot. He is simply an Asian!
thump-
Just when Kariya was about to ask, a loud noise like demolishing a house suddenly came from the Matou mansion above the insect warehouse.
