Everyone watched Su Mo viciously stomp on Cú Chulainn, their faces once again filled with shock and confusion. The key point was that no matter how hard Su Mo stomped, Cú Chulainn clung desperately to his leg from beginning to end without letting go. It made their worldview crumble in an instant.
The Dog Brother Is About to Cry
Unable to bear Dog Brother clinging to his leg for dear life, and with Mash pleading for Dog Brother on the side and asking him to form a temporary contract with him, Su Mo had no choice but to take in this Dog Brother, who had been the first to hug his leg.
Thus, after Dog Brother joined the group, they set out on their journey once more...
The endless flames seemed as though they would never go out. Looking at the continuously burning Fuyuki City, Su Mo could not help but sigh.
At the end of FZ, only part of Fuyuki had been consumed by the fire. But in this parallel-world Singularity, the entire city had been burned into ruins. Ordinary citizens turned to stone by Medusa, Skeleton Soldiers, and Vengeful Spirits were everywhere. No matter how long they walked, they did not run into a single living person!
Along the way, Dog Brother Cú Chulainn coughed twice and began sharing the information he had gathered since being summoned, hoping to earn Su Mo's favor.
According to Dog Brother, this was a Holy Grail War for the Grail between seven Masters and seven summoned Servants. Furthermore, this Grail War had no unusual classes, the Masters had neither formed alliances nor schemed against one another. It could be called the most rule-abiding Holy Grail War in history.
However, those rules were quickly broken. Saber, the noble knight who had originally been summoned, was suddenly stripped of her ahoge by some green-hatted man who appeared from nowhere and forcibly shoved a cup into her hands, causing her to turn dark.
And so, this Holy Grail War completely changed in nature. Dark Saber wielded Excalibur and slaughtered everyone in her path. She killed not only her own Master, but also enemy Masters and innocent civilians. She slaughtered her way from West Street to East Street, from East Street to North Street, and finally crushed her way into South Street. Whoever stood in her way died—humans were killed, Servants were killed. She turned Fuyuki into a living hell, and countless wronged souls wailed beneath her Excalibur!
But that was not the end! All the Servants killed by Saber were contaminated by black mud and turned into Shadow Servants.
No matter what kind of heroes they had been in life, the darkened Shadow Servants all joined the slaughter of Fuyuki's citizens, becoming madmen who knew only killing!
Dog Brother escaped this disaster only because he was fast enough. He had seen it all, and it pained him deeply. Especially Shirou's mother—she had once fought him with such enthusiasm, but now she had become a lunatic who knew only slaughter. Dog Brother truly felt sorry for Shirou. This was far too heartless!
Su Mo naturally noticed Dog Brother's grievance. After all, he had never had much desire for the Grail. He had entered the Holy Grail War only to have a good fight with the various Heroic Spirits. That was his only wish before his death.
In the Fifth Holy Grail War of other parallel worlds, that wish had remained unfulfilled until his death because of Lancer's Luck E. He had finally escaped Lancer's Luck E in this world, but before he could even fight, all the Servants had been wiped out by Dark Saber and turned into killing-crazed lunatics... Dog Brother was so aggrieved he was practically about to cry.
Although Dog Brother had not explained everything in detail, Su Mo understood the general situation. His expression turned cold as he spoke. "Mm! I understand now. The reason Fuyuki City was swallowed by flames overnight, and the reason Saber turned dark and killed all the Masters, was because this Holy Grail War would not end until every Master was dead, right? Then the attacks we suffered along the way, as well as your desperate insistence on joining us—the root cause of all of it was that there was still a Master like me alive, and you were planning to take my life while I was off guard, right?"
"Wait... how did you possibly interpret it that way?!" Dog Brother stared at Su Mo in terror, his face going pale.
"Kiyohime, destroy him!" Su Mo turned and ordered Kiyohime.
Good grief, he had clung to my leg so tightly earlier that his tears and drool had soaked through my pants. Let's see how I deal with him!
"Understood, Master!" Kiyohime replied with a smile. Then she looked at Dog Brother with a malicious grin.
"Wait, we can talk this out! Don't do anything rash!" Dog Brother was so frightened that he climbed up a utility pole.
"Senior, how did you come to that conclusion?!" Before Kiyohime could make a move, Mash immediately stepped in front of Dog Brother and slammed her shield into the ground to protect him.
"It was nothing. I was merely teasing Cú Chulainn. I wouldn't really take his life." Su Mo waved Kiyohime back, then rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking to the others.
"According to what Caster said just now, as long as we do not defeat Saber, this Holy Grail War in Fuyuki will not end."
"Yes, that is why I sought you out. I cannot defeat Saber alone, and Archer is guarding her as well. By myself, I have no chance of winning." Dog Brother climbed down from the utility pole, coughed, and continued.
"But things are different now that you've appeared, boss. Give me a hand when the time comes. Even if the mindless Berserker runs over to help Saber and Archer, I am confident I can take on all three!"
Dog Brother was incomparably excited, even waving the crooked ball club in his hand. He looked ready to rush off and settle the score with Dark Saber right then and there.
"Then do you know where Saber and the others are?" the Director asked.
