When the summoning incantation reached its final verse, the summoning array immediately flared with brilliant light. The surging magical energy whipped up a gale, transforming into a rapidly spinning whirlwind that isolated the inside from the outside.
The next moment, the light extinguished, and countless gusts of wind surged outwards.
"Assassin, Shuten-dōji.
Hehe, I am deeply grateful that you have summoned me here.
I will be acting as I please, is that alright?"
The speaker was wearing an open kimono, with soft armor covering her legs and certain key areas. Three gourd-shaped containers of varying shapes and materials hung from her waist. In her right hand, she held a crimson sake bowl, the sake within reflecting the moonlight, giving off a hazy silver glow.
Her deep purple, shoulder-length hair fluttered in the wind. Her alluring face, adorned with two Oni horns, held a smile, exuding an eerie beauty.
"It's alright, yo~" Ibuki Suika said, laughing drunkenly.
"That's wonderful, Master" Halfway through her sentence, Shuten-dōji suddenly froze, staring at Ibuki Suika's two horns, and asked curiously, "Master Are you of the Oni clan?"
"Yes, I am an Oni." Ibuki Suika nodded slightly, handing the sake cup to Shuten-dōji. "Shuten-dōji, I am Ibuki Suika, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Ibuki?" Shuten-dōji was taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on her face as she took the sake cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good sake~"
A brilliant light shone in Shuten's eyes, and words of praise escaped her lips.
"Hehe~" Ibuki Suika laughed proudly, "That's my prized sake."
"Master~ Do you have more sake?" Shuten stuck out her tongue, licking her lips.
"I do" Ibuki Suika turned around, swaying as she walked to the side, "But you have to treat me to a drink too"
"No problem." Shuten-dōji patted the gourd at her waist and strode after Ibuki Suika. "The wine in my gourd is legendary. Back in the day, I..."
If you want to befriend an Oni, the easiest way is to offer them a drink, a drink of fine wine.
Just a bowl of fine wine, and you're friends with the Oni.
Under the gaze of the others, Ibuki Suika and Shuten-dōji walked to a tree and sat cross-legged on a rock.
Pop!
Shuten-dōji pulled the stopper from the gourd, and a rich aroma of wine spread out.
It was intoxicating wine, and also intoxicating poison. Just the aroma alone had considerable power. Sniffing it would make you dizzy, adding various negative buffs.
However, no one present was affected. After all, they were all famous powerhouses. Even the poisonous wine that was said to have drunk the Oni King couldn't affect them with just its aroma.
Except for one Oni, all Oni love alcohol.
With fine wine before her, Hoshiguma Yuugi couldn't help but be tempted. If it weren't for Mu Yang stopping them, the drinking duo would have become a trio.
After reciting the summoning incantation, another Servant was summoned.
"My name is Ibaraki-dōji, the leader of the Oni of Ōeyama!"
The golden-haired Oni, dressed in a golden kimono, said with a manic smile.
"Ibaraki?" Hoshiguma Yuugi muttered, although she was somewhat disappointed that she didn't summon Hoshiguma-dōji, this wasn't the time to focus on that.
"Let's go, let's go drink!"
Hoshiguma Yuugi grabbed Ibaraki-dōji's arm and dragged her away without a word.
"What incredible strength!"
Ibaraki-dōji stared in astonishment at Hoshiguma Yuugi.
All Oni are known for their immense strength, and she, Ibaraki-dōji, was a renowned Oni, her strength ranked among the best of her kind.
Even if she stood still, hundreds of people wouldn't be able to budge her, but the Master who summoned her today could casually tug at her.
Could my Master be a human hero?!
Thinking this, Ibaraki-dōji began to carefully examine Hoshiguma Yuugi, and immediately noticed the crimson horn on her forehead.
So, we're of the same kind!
A look of understanding flashed in Ibaraki-dōji's eyes.
A few seconds later, the drinking duo upgraded to a drinking quartet.
Leaving the four drunks aside for the moment, next up was Kazami Yuuka's Servant summoning.
After reciting the summoning incantation, Kazami Yuuka's lips curled into a slightly wild smile, and she provocatively declared, "I've heard that the Servants are all heroes of legend. I wonder if there's anyone brave enough to fight me."
When summoning a Servant, the Servants' main bodies within the Hall of Heroes can hear the summoner's words.
However, generally, the words spoken by the summoner are all summoning incantations; no one would speak provocatively while summoning a Servant.
As soon as these words were spoken, the light of the summoning array instantly became even more dazzling, and the wind became more violent, as if many roars were mixed together.
Jewelcrafting seemed to see a group of Servants running forward, shouting things like "Insignificant human..." and "Mere people of later generations..."
Boom—
With a deafening roar, a golden-haired woman appeared, her attire exuding an exotic flair.
"Hi! I am the goddess Quetzalcoatl." The beautiful blonde greeted with a radiant smile. "Are you the one craving a showdown with a strong opponent?"
After sizing up Kazami Yuuka for a moment, Quetzalcoatl said, "You're not human. You give off a vibe similar to a nature spirit, how strange~"
"What are you doing here?" Kazami Yuuka raised her parasol, the tip aimed at Quetzalcoatl. "I summoned you to fight…"
A deep green Magic Cannon tore through the night sky, hurtling forward. Everything in its path was pulverized; trees and rocks turned to dust, and the distant mountain peak was chipped away.
From a high-altitude view, a clear gash was visible, starting from the edge of the forest and extending straight to the other end. That was the damage caused by a single Magic Cannon from Kazami Yuuka.
If she fired a dozen more shots, she could flatten the entire forest.
Seeing this scene, Jewelcrafting's mouth twitched repeatedly.
At the instant Kazami Yuuka launched her attack, Quetzalcoatl had moved fifteen meters to the left.
She raised her right hand at this moment, placing it at her brow, her gaze fixed on the chasm. She looked into the distance and said, with a slightly exaggerated tone, "Truly amazing!"
Without exaggeration, Kazami Yuuka's attack was comparable to a Magic Cannon fired by a C+ Rank Noble Phantasm.
"Let's go to the Mirror World to fight."
Muyang waved his hand, throwing the demon and the god into the Mirror World. Then, he looked at Jewelcrafting and the others.
"Who's next?"
"I'll go." White Yaksha walked to the summoning array and began chanting the incantation.
"Hi hi! It's Tama here~"
A fox in a luxurious jūnihitoe kimono, struck a cute peace sign.
Puyo~~
"Oh~ It's this feeling! Just as good as Black Rabbit's!"
White Yaksha pounced on Tamamo-no-Mae with lightning speed, burying his head in her towering figure, and spoke some lecherous words.
"Aah—!" Tamamo-no-Mae's expression immediately blanked out from the sudden attack, she instinctively grabbed White Yaksha and threw him away.
Boom—!
White Yaksha was thrown flying far away, spinning as he went, breaking several trees in a row before finally crashing into a rock and stopping.
"M… Master?" Tamamo-no-Mae's expression immediately changed after throwing White Yaksha out, and she hurried towards him, "Are… are you alright?!"
"I'm fine." White Yaksha sprang to his feet with a flip.
Based on the settings in the Moon World, Tamamo-no-Mae is related to Amaterasu.
As a star spirit of the sun, White Yaksha had no problem summoning Tamamo-no-Mae, who is related to the sun.
Next, Zhang Zhiwei summoned a Servant.
"Hello, Master." The red-haired young man was gentle and refined.
Zhang Zhiwei said, "Hello."
Then it was Jewelcrafting's turn to summon a Servant.
"Hello, Master." The valiant young man with the bow smiled gently.
Finally...
Muyang didn't recite an incantation but snapped his fingers.
"Servant, Medusa, answering the summons," the beautiful woman with pink-purple hair said, bowing her head.
"Wait a moment!" Jewelcrafting exclaimed in surprise, "How can the Class be Rider?"
As a Master, Jewelcrafting could see some information about the Servant.
"Isn't the remaining Class for the seven Servants Saber?" Jewelcrafting asked.
"So what if it's Saber? If I want to summon a Rider, I can summon a Rider," Muyang shrugged.
"Besides, it's just a Class, it's not like it can't be changed."
Mu Yang waved his hand, directly shattering the shackles formed by the Class. Medusa immediately went from Rider to Classless, and could still use the skills and Noble Phantasms she had in life.
Jewelcrafting: "..."
You're awesome!
At the same time...
The other participants in the Holy Grail War also summoned their Servants.
In a certain forest, Edogawa Conan placed a copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in the center of the summoning array.
Subsequently, he stood outside the summoning circle and began to recite the incantation.
The handsome young man, dressed in robes, held a staff in his right hand and a pipe in his left.
Although he saw that the one who summoned him was a child.
Sherlock, however, didn't show much emotion, remaining expressionless.
For a magician, disguising oneself as a child was also possible.
"Do you need an introduction?" Sherlock asked.
"Mmhmm." Edogawa Conan was full of anticipation.
"I am a detective, Sherlock Holmes," Sherlock introduced himself.
"Hah—!" Edogawa Conan was beside himself with excitement upon hearing this, his joy evident. "It's really Holmes, how wonderful!"
Sherlock: "?"
This Master seemed rather interesting.
In an abandoned church.
Within the ruins, Uchiha Madara stared coldly at the red-haired young man kneeling on one knee.
"You said...you're a ninja?"
"Yes, Master," replied Fūma Kotarō.
"Very well." Uchiha Madara nodded slightly and said, "I am also a ninja. Fight me, and show me how strong you are."
Fūma Kotarō: "..."
Beside a small stream.
Mihawk held his black blade, gazing at the young man with purple hair tied in a single ponytail, "Draw your sword and fight me!"
Feeling the sharp aura, like that of a blade, Sasaki Kojirō smiled lightly, drew the katana from his back, and gripped it in his hand.
"Alright~"
Before the words finished, Mihawk swung his black blade towards Kojirō.
Kojirō dodged the falling black blade and launched a counterattack, a wisp of cold blade light slashing towards Mihawk.
The result, naturally, was that he did not hit.
Dodging, swinging the blade...
The battle between the two intensified, with blades clashing repeatedly, the sounds of metal ringing together.
On a low earthen mound.
Kamijou Touma introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Kamijou Touma."
"Imagine Breaker?" Emiya Shirou chuckled, praising, "Master, that's a domineering name."
"Don't play on words!" Kamijou Touma's expression was helpless.
"Well~" Emiya Shirou patted Kamijou Touma on the shoulder, about to say something, but a sudden change caused him to retract the words that were about to come out.
His right palm suddenly disappeared when he patted his Master's shoulder, without any warning.
"Master, you have a very special power," Emiya Shirou pondered.
"Can it be restored?" Kamijou Touma asked anxiously.
"I don't know." Emiya Shirou raised an eyebrow. "Master, try healing magic."
"Healing magic? I can't," Kamijou Touma said. "This arm of mine can negate all supernatural abilities, so… I can't learn magic."
"..." Emiya Shirou blinked. "Oh no~ This is bad."
After staring at Emiya Shirou for a moment, Kamijou Touma opened his terminal and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask others if there's a solution."
Entering the chat group, Kamijou Touma sought help from his fellow group members.
Somewhere with dark yellow rocks.
Yuji Itadori rubbed his shoulders, looking curiously at Satoru Gojo. "Teacher Gojo, why do we have to participate in this Holy Grail War?"
"It's training~" Gojo Satoru held up a finger, explaining, "Fighting with heroes who have left their mark on history is a very rare experience."
"Everyone..." Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "You have to work hard to defeat a Servant~"
"It's defeating a Servant on your own. Those who fail will be punished."
"Eh~" Yuji Itadori was immediately stunned.
Megumi Fushiguro said blankly, "Unbelievable."
"Hah——" Nobara Kugisaki exclaimed, "How is that even possible!!!"
"Very interesting," Sukuna said with a laugh.
"It doesn't matter even if we don't defeat them..." Gojo Satoru revealed a mischievous grin. "It's just accepting a punishment, nothing too serious."
The punishment will definitely be a trap. We have to find a way to defeat the Servant.
The three of them looked at Gojo Satoru's smile and thought the same thing.
"Can we use the Servant's power?" Fushiguro Megumi asked.
"No can do~" Gojo Satoru wagged his index finger.
Kugisaki Nobara twitched her lips. "...Then why did we summon Servants?"
"Summoning a Servant is the ticket to participate in the Holy Grail War," Gojo Satoru said. "And while you're fighting the Servant, your Servant can protect you from interference, so you don't have to worry about sneak attacks from others."
At this point, Gojo Satoru clapped his hands. "Alright, enough chatter. Hurry up and summon your Servants."
"Who goes first?" Itadori Yuji asked his two companions.
"You." Kugisaki Nobara pushed Itadori Yuji. "The vanguard work is up to you."
"Oh~"
Itadori Yuji replied and obediently began to chant the spell.
"Roar——!!!"
The summoned Servant was over two meters tall, with long black seaweed-like hair that went past the shoulders. The right eye's pupil was crimson, with a black sclera, while the left eye was golden yellow.
The skin was dark, the upper body was bare, and the hands were bound with wrist guards. The muscles were knotted and very strong. The lower body wore a battle skirt, and the feet were bare. Holding an axe-sword, he exuded a sense of a strong person's imposing aura.
Servant Berserker, Heracles.
Itadori Yuji, Kugisaki Nobara, Fushiguro Megumi: ⊙ω⊙
