"I accept," Mash replied with a shy nod. After all, her purpose as a Servant was to prevent the Incineration of Humanity.
"Hmph! You're taking advantage of her!" Rin suddenly exclaimed—feeling annoyed for some reason.
Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Rin.
Rin felt a chill down her spine.
He had threatened to "take her first time" if she badmouthed him again.
But as a proud tsundere, she couldn't back down, despite her fear.
"What are you looking at? It's true! Saving humanity is everyone's responsibility. Why should Mash become your... your..." Rin trailed off, blushing.
"I think you're mistaken, Rin Tohsaka," Roy said with a smirk. "I'm not obligated to save humanity. In fact, I could destroy this world if I wanted to. Do you know why?"
Rin was taken aback.
"Destroy the world? Don't joke about that!"
"Oh? You don't believe me?" Roy chuckled. "Then I'll show you."
He snapped his fingers.
In the next moment, they were all transported high into the sky.
"Wow! The world looks so beautiful from here!" Irisviel exclaimed, marveling at the scenery below.
They were thousands of meters above the ground.
"Beautiful, isn't it? It'll be even more beautiful in a moment," Roy said with a sly grin, patting Irisviel's head.
"What... what are you planning to do?" Rin asked, fear creeping into her voice.
Roy wouldn't actually destroy the world, would he?
"Heh, you said I was joking, right? Well, I'll let you see for yourself."
He raised his hand towards the ground.
"Freeze!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Rin watched in horror as everything below them froze solid, starting from Fuyuki City.
Buildings—streets—everything was encased in ice.
The ice spread rapidly, covering the entire world in a matter of moments.
The cracking sound of freezing continued, sending chills down Rin's spine.
"It's over... The world is over!" Rin cried, wishing it was all a dream.
But it was real. And it was all her fault.
The world was being destroyed because of her.
The other girls remained silent, shocked by Roy's power but not worried.
Artoria and the others had already realized that they were in a separate dimension.
Only Rin, the idiot, hadn't noticed.
Even Sakura and Irisviel knew that Roy was just trying to scare Rin.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The world continued to freeze, and finally, the ground beneath them shattered, crumbling into dust.
Only they remained, floating in the sky.
Rin finally understood. It was all an illusion.
"See? I wasn't lying," Roy said with a smirk, gently lifting her chin.
Tears of relief streamed down Rin's face. The world hadn't been destroyed because of her.
"Remember what I said last time? If you badmouth me again, I'll make you mine. So, come to my room tonight. Understand?" Roy whispered in her ear.
Rin blushed furiously but nodded.
"Good."
Roy released her, then snapped his fingers, teleporting them back to the mansion.
"Alright, it's time to finish this Holy Grail War," he declared.@@novelbin@@
After teaching Rin a lesson, it was time to get down to business.
He had captured all the Servants summoned by Alaya in Fuyuki City. The male Servants had been sent back to the Throne of Heroes.
Now, only two of the seven official Masters remained.
Once he dealt with them and raided the Throne of Heroes, he could return to the Underworld with his Servant harem.
He knew the identity of one of the remaining Masters.
It was Waver Velvet—and his Servant was Iskandar.
He hadn't expected Waver to participate in the Holy Grail War...
....
The other Master was a mystery. They hadn't shown themselves, and even Rin didn't know who they were.
The only thing they knew was that the remaining Servant was a Berserker.
"Roy-onii-chan, what should we do?" Sakura asked curiously.
"First, we'll deal with Waver Velvet and his Servant, Iskandar. We'll leave the Berserker for last," Roy decided.
The girls had no objections.
Roy waved his hand, and they vanished in a flash of light.
They reappeared in a small farmhouse.
Just as they arrived, the door to the house opened, and a tall figure emerged.
"Hahaha, I told you we couldn't hide forever, didn't I, my little Master?" Iskandar boomed, clapping Waver on the shoulder, causing the boy to wince.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering in this Holy Grail War?" Waver demanded.
He and Iskandar had actually been present when Saber fought Lancer, but they had remained hidden.
Iskandar had wanted to greet Roy and the others.
But Waver, seeing Saber's overwhelming power, had immediately dismissed the idea.
He used a Command Spell to force Iskandar to retreat with him.
They had been hiding in this farmhouse ever since.
They knew about the events that had transpired in Fuyuki City, but the Holy Grail War had become unpredictable and dangerous.
They hadn't expected to be found.
"You don't need to know who we are. It's time for the King of Conquerors, Iskandar—to make his exit," Roy declared.
"Allow me, Master!" Saber stepped forward, eager to battle.
"Alright, Saber, you can handle this," Roy said with a nod.
"Wait..." Waver stammered, terrified that they would kill him too.
"Don't worry, little Master. Even if I lose, I'm sure they won't harm you," Iskandar reassured him with a smile.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you unless you try something stupid," Roy said with a shrug.
He had no reason to kill Waver. They had no personal grudge against him.
"Hahaha, that's good to hear." Iskandar laughed heartily, then turned to Saber, his eyes burning with battle lust.
"King Arthur of Britain, I admire you greatly. If there were a chance, I would invite you for a drink. But alas..."
"Let us have a glorious battle in this final moment!"
Iskandar unleashed his powerful aura, and everyone was suddenly transported into a Reality Marble.
They were in a vast desert, and countless soldiers stood behind Iskandar, awaiting his command.
This was Iskandar's true trump card, his Noble Phantasm, Ionioi Hetairoi (Army of the King).
It was a Reality Marble that allowed him to summon his loyal followers as independent Servants to fight alongside him.
Once summoned, they formed a massive army of tens of thousands.
Each soldier was a true Heroic Spirit.
But due to Iskandar's limitations—they didn't possess Noble Phantasms.
And they didn't have classes or skills either.
There were a few Servants who were even stronger than Iskandar himself, as his personal combat abilities weren't as exceptional as his leadership skills.
This demonstrated the power of Iskandar's Noble Phantasm.
However—he was facing Artoria, who had an unlimited supply of magical energy.
As the battle began, Artoria followed Roy's instructions and unleashed a devastating blast of magical energy, wiping out the entire army, including Iskandar.
The soldiers summoned by Ionioi Hetairoi were immortal. Even if they were defeated, they could be resummoned.
But if Iskandar himself was defeated, the Noble Phantasm would collapse.
Iskandar's Ionioi Hetairoi was powerful, but it was no match for Artoria with unlimited magical energy.
Aside from Artoria and Gilgamesh—most Servants would struggle against such an attack.
After defeating Iskandar, they ignored Waver and teleported away.
This time, they appeared before the Einzbern castle in Fuyuki.
The Einzbern family, having lost their homunculus creation techniques thanks to Roy's intervention, had fallen from grace—
