My Fates Codex of Type-Moon Chapter 33

"Servants are supposed to obey their Master's orders, aren't they?" Webber said helplessly, but when he looked out the window, he still felt anticipation for the upcoming magical confrontation.

"What will the final outcome be, Teacher, and Sakutsuki?"

Amidst this undercurrent of tension, the guests at the Hyatt Hotel were finally evacuated.

Sakutsuki tossed the empty cup into the void, then stood up and stretched his limbs.

"Alright, it's time for me to go."

"Good luck, Onii-chan."

"May your martial fortune be prosperous."

Under the blessings of the two Servants, the young man with golden eyes and white hair smiled faintly and set off on the road to the Magic Workshop.

"Sakutsuki, just an ordinary magus—I've come to challenge the Lord of the Mineralogy Department's Magic Workshop, please offer your guidance!"

I don't know what the new book needs. So, friends, please give me some recommendation tickets and collections!

Twenty-four layers of barriers, three magic furnaces, evil spirits to replace hunting dogs, dozens of spirits and goblins, countless traps, not even the underground sewers were spared, plus a part of the corridor has already turned into another world. In other words, they can freely compete in secret arts without worrying about affecting the outside world.

—This was how, in the original work, Kayneth described the modified Hyatt Hotel.

It's just that while Director Kayneth was still confidently placing his chips, the unromantic magus killer directly flipped the table.

Directional blasting—an advanced demolition technique primarily used to destroy large high-rise buildings. By destroying load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building collapses inward under its own weight. It achieves complete destruction with the minimum amount of explosives.

The art from the scientific side bypassed the building's interior directly, destroying the building itself with the various formulas of crystallized wisdom and the power of dinitro diazophenol. The mysteries and magic hidden within lost all meaning under the combined effects of potential energy, phase change energy, kinetic energy, fluid energy, thermal energy, and electrical energy.

Sakutsuki, in terms of tactics, approved of Papa Kiritsugu's destructive actions, but from a personal perspective, he felt...

It was a waste of good material.

Like a newly acquired treasure, how could he be willing to discard it like trash without properly enjoying it?

The moment his foot landed on the thirty-second floor, an enthusiastic reception greeted Sakutsuki.

Black and red cursed magic bullets flew towards him.

It was a Nordic magic called Gandr. Although it was a curse, as its power increased, it could also directly cause powerful physical damage (like a certain Gatling gun).

Without using Projection to parry the weapon, Sakutsuki raised his left hand. The rhombus-shaped space in his palm expanded, and as it devoured the magic bullets, it reversed them through a displacement circuit, sending them back towards the following wave of Gandr.

The black and red magic bullets clashed with each other, disappearing entirely in mid-air.

The white-haired, golden-eyed youth continued his steps, as if unaware of the surging undercurrents ahead.

"What's wrong? If the Mineralogy Department, which inherited the name Kishua Zelretch Schweinsteiger, only has this much ability, I'm very disappointed."

Kishua Zelretch Schweinsteiger.

His name was not well-known in the secular world, but in the world of mysteries, he was known to everyone.

One of the disciples of the Magic King Solomon, the oldest magus active since before the Common Era.

This name itself represented a legend. The world, whether in admiration, fear, or for various purposes, had bestowed upon him many titles: "Second Magic User," "Archmage," "Grand Marshal of Sorcery," "Jewel Master," "Fourth Seat of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles"...

He was truly a man standing at the pinnacle of the mystical side, and also the apex of mineral magic. The name of the Clock Tower's Mineralogy Department (Kishua) originated from him, and anyone who insulted this name would inevitably face an unending pursuit from the members of the Mineralogy Department.

Sakutsuki's provocation should have elicited a retort from the proud Kayneth, shouldn't it?

However...

There was no response.

As the creator of the Magic Workshop, Kayneth's senses must have covered the entire corridor, yet he chose to remain silent, like a hunter in pursuit, calm and indifferent, waiting for the moment of a decisive blow.

Is this the serious Kayneth? I'm getting a little nervous...

Thinking this, Sakutsuki's foot suddenly stepped on something hard.

The moment he touched it, the camouflage magic instantly dissipated, revealing a beautiful lapis lazuli gem before the youth's eyes.

But to the magus, beneath this beauty lay a different kind of offering.

"Attribute: Wind, attached with Earth spirits, temporary effect: binding or suppression... In any case, I need to create distance!"

The Einsworth family's millennia of accumulation allowed Sakutsuki to analyze the gem's effect in a very short time. He immediately pushed off with his left foot to retreat.

But as the camouflage magic disappeared, the other gems also revealed themselves. Sakutsuki was surprised to find that his retreat had led him directly into the center of the magic circle!

"Anfang, Zeichen." (German)

A cold male voice uttered two short lines of incantation, and the magic incantation took effect. The six gems arranged around Sakutsuki lit up, transforming into a swirling, continuous gale that bound his limbs, followed by an invisible gravity, as majestic and heavy as a mountain, rendering Sakutsuki immobile.

His ability to move stripped away in an instant, Sakutsuki smiled bitterly and slowly uttered the name of this gem magic.

"Beast Binding Shackles... Has it been strengthened and improved based on my own magic attribute?"

This powerful magic, which had even briefly restrained Hercules (Berserker), was a seal that Sakutsuki, whose Strength was only E under the punishment of the World's Will, could not break through by brute force.

Moreover, once the opponent is controlled, the rest is clear, right?

Of course, it's time for a concentrated attack!

"Scalp!" The cold voice echoed again. Upon realizing what this incantation meant, even Sakutsuki's expression changed slightly.

"Shadow Border!"

The mercury, reflecting an eerie sheen, transformed into microscopic blades that slashed at high speed under immense pressure. Its sharpness surpassed even laser beams, capable of cutting through titanium alloy and diamonds.

However, this meticulously planned killing blow missed its mark. The youth, enveloped in static, seemed to have been peeled away from this world. He effortlessly broke free from the "Beast Binding Shackles," and even the attacks triggered by the Moon Cell's liquid passed through his body without causing any damage.

While it appeared Sakutsuki had dodged this crisis, inside the quiet room, Kayneth, arms crossed, narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Having witnessed this move before, how could he not have prepared for it?

"Freigabe! (German: Release!)"

With a crisp snap of his fingers, a silver gem embedded in a hidden partition of a room shattered. The spatial anchor was disrupted, releasing chaotic signals that pulled Sakutsuki, who was in "Shadow Border," towards it.

"Using the attraction between void factors to interfere with my abilities? A clever plan." Sakutsuki praised softly, offering no resistance as he was teleported into the room.

The aura of another world washed over him.

"What is this..." Sakutsuki, having dispelled the void magic, surveyed the vast wilderness that could no longer be called a room, his eyes filled with astonishment.

And Sakutsuki was not the only one in this land. As if sensing the approach of a living being, rows of skeletal frames simultaneously raised their heads.

These were Dragon Tooth Warriors.

If dragon teeth were seeds sown into the earth, then these were the green shoots that grew from them.

These seeds, imbued with magic and the Earth Mother Gaia, gave birth to such monsters.

They would fight endlessly, until death. Describing them as terrifying was far from enough. The Dragon Tooth Warriors possessed the simplest of thoughts and emotions—kill the enemy. If one of their arms was severed, they would not stop in the slightest, killing like machines. As long as their enemy drew their last breath, they would fight without end, even if they eventually turned to dust.

Any ordinary magus who arrived here would surely be overwhelmed by the tide of Dragon Tooth Warriors.

...It was just that for a player of a certain gacha game, seeing them would only bring excitement, never fear.

Sakutsuki was such a player.

The so-called other world was like a small world carved out of reality. Unless attacks of a transcendent caliber were used, fluctuations within it would not affect the outside world.

In other words—he could turn this place upside down!

A thrilled smile spread across the youth's face. His hands crossed as if to tear something apart, and the vast magic power emanating from him surged even more intensely.

Magic: Projection!

The sky darkened, and two greatswords obscured all light and hope.

These were divine constructs at the pinnacle of the end of sky and sea, the "Melting and Mixed Domain," divine constructs that could even burn and purify the sea of ten thousand.

These were divine constructs that embodied the principle of the absolute separation of heaven and earth, not merely cutting with blades, not merely carving with mass.

Incinerating all seas, cleaving through a thousand mountains.

The myths of Mesopotamia displayed their forms freely in this small, other world.

His white hair whipped by the wind, amidst the violent explosion caused by the landing of the greatswords, Sakutsuki covered his face and laughed unrestrainedly:

"Destroy everything! Jail Scythe, Dust Saw!"

I don't know what the new book needs. So, I'll ask for some recommendation tickets and favorites, friends!

Jail Scythe, Dust Saw.

Their true names were "Dawn Horizon that Incinerates All Seas" and "Verdant Horizon that Cleaves the Thousand Mountains," adhering to the principles of 'purification' and 'severance.'

Even though Sakutsuki had only projected a fraction of the divine essence of these two greatswords, they had once severed the ley lines of the Einzbern castle, preventing Jubstacheit von Einzbern from controlling the core of the Magic Workshop.

The loss of connection to each other was fatal for both the Magic Workshop and the magus. This meant the Magic Workshop could only carry out simple, autonomous counterattacks, while the magus lost the advantage of the workshop, losing all enhancements and having to face the enemy with their own strength.

If Sakutsuki had projected these two greatswords from the start, the three magic power furnaces supporting the thirty-two layers of the Magic Workshop would have been suppressed and crushed by the higher mystery, ultimately causing the entire Magic Workshop to lose its energy and cease to exist.

But this was like Kiritsugu blowing up this building; it was a method of taking a shortcut to bypass the contents and directly destroy the workshop itself, which was not Sakutsuki's original intention, so he had not planned to project these two divine constructs.

Well, originally.

But in this other world, seeing the vast number of Dragon Tooth Warriors, who could resist the urge to use a large-scale AOE sweep?

Moreover, this was an other world, an other world where no matter how much he messed around, it wouldn't affect reality, so Sakutsuki had no psychological burden!

The greatsword like fire and the greatsword like agate swept across, easily crushing the weak, pitiful, and helpless Dragon Tooth Warriors. The sensation transmitted back made Sakutsuki feel exhilarated.

The original zombie horde siege was completed by Sakutsuki as a mowing-down rampage. As the last Dragon Tooth Warrior was destroyed, this other world, painstakingly created by the Necromancy Department, collapsed on its own and dissipated into magic power.

Before the other world vanished, Sakutsuki retracted his twin swords. When he returned to his observation, Kayneth was stunned to find the white-haired youth spotless, only his golden eyes were brighter, more... full of anticipation.

It was as if a king looking down from on high was asking: Do you have any more interesting tricks to show me?

That pure gaze, transmitted through the familiar's surveillance, brought immense pressure to Kayneth. The blond man clenched his trembling hands, and for the first time, a thought of refusal to yield arose in his heart.

"Then, as you wish..."

Behind him, formless yet seemingly carrying endless malice, Spirits and Goblins screamed. The moment Kayneth released his restraint, they vanished, rushing towards another living being on this floor.

Hyatt Hotel, downstairs.

Travelers were awakened from their sleep by the fire alarm and guided to the outdoor parking lot. Everyone gathered, their faces a mixture of fear of the fire, sleepiness, and displeasure at the cold. Hotel staff rushed back and forth among the crowd.

"...Mr. Archibold! Is Mr. Archibold here?" The front desk staff on duty raised their voices, searching for the last group of guests not yet accounted for on the accommodation list. The entire hotel had been very concerned about this Super VIP who had booked an entire floor of the top-floor suite. In a sense, he was the most important person the hotel did not want to have any problems with.

"Mr. Archibold! Are you there?"

"—Yes, I'm here. Please don't worry." A calm, steady voice answered from behind. When the receptionist looked back, he found himself baffled. The person speaking to him was an unremarkable Japanese man in a worn-out coat.

This joke was far from funny. Just as the receptionist was feeling annoyed and about to reprimand him—the man's eyes rendered him immobile. A mysterious magnetism held his gaze, preventing him from looking away, and even making him unable to speak.

"I am Keneith El-Melloi Archibald. My wife and I have already evacuated." The voice of the strange Easterner was calm and clear. Under the influence of the implied magic, the receptionist's thoughts became hazy, and he believed the man's words without question.

"...Is that so? Ah, that's right. You've already evacuated."

The receptionist checked "Evacuated" on the roster in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer felt any doubt or abnormality about his conversation with the gentleman just now.

After watching the receptionist hurry away to attend to other evacuees, Kiritsugu Emiya moved away from the crowd. Confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he took out his phone from his pocket.

"I'm ready, what about you?"

"No abnormalities, you can proceed anytime."

On the other end of the line was his partner, Maiya Hisau, located on an upper floor of a high-rise building under construction, diagonally across from the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel. This position allowed for surveillance of Keneith's room at the closest possible distance.

Kiritsugu let out a soft breath. One hand reached into his pocket for a pack of cigarette papers, while the other hand typed a string of numbers into his phone. He paused slightly on the last digit, unable to resist looking towards the brightly lit skyscraper.

After the plan changed, the bombs were set much faster than anticipated—in fact, by the time Sakutsuki arrived at the Hyatt, Kiritsugu had already made all preparations to blow up the building.

If the explosion had occurred then, not only would Keneith, Lancer's Master, have fallen freely from a height of 150 meters, an event from which no magical barrier could ensure survival, but Caster's Master
