Chapter 785: Type-Moon World, The Holy Grail War!
Chapter 785: Type-Moon World, The Holy Grail War!
In the Holy Grail World, Fuyuki City.
As Yawake Ichigo wandered the streets, he came across a rather luxurious yet eerily gloomy building. After a moment's hesitation, he eventually walked in with his hands in his pockets.
Approximately every sixty years, the spiritual energy within Fuyuki City's ley lines would accumulate to a certain extent. And when this energy reached its limit, the Holy Grail, capable of granting any wish, would appear.
To obtain this wish-granting opportunity, a Holy Grail War is held every sixty years, where Masters and their Servants compete for the ultimate prize.
Initially, the Holy Grail was monopolized by the three major families of the magic world: the Einzbern Family, the Faruzuki Family, and the Machiru Family.
The Holy Grail itself was a massive ritual system they had created to reach the "Root."
However, after the third Holy Grail War, all three families were left weakened and powerless. This led to the current state of the Holy Grail Wars.
Regardless of the intensity of the Holy Grail Wars, the once-dominant three families, even in their decline, would still receive a participation slot in each war.
Before the start of each Holy Grail War, the priest of Fuyuki City, acting as the arbiter, would be informed of the rules for that particular war.
This time, the Holy Grail War would pit seven pairs of Masters and Heroic Spirits against each other until only one victorious pair remained.
Out of the seven slots in the Holy Grail War, three were occupied by the three major families, one by the Clock Tower, one by the Church, and the remaining two were randomly selected from Fuyuki City.
Yawake Ichigo, unfamiliar with the Heroic Spirit summoning rituals of the Holy Grail War and without the necessary Holy Relics, couldn't be sure if he would be chosen by the Holy Grail. To participate, he had no choice but to seize someone else's slot.
The Clock Tower was too far, and the Holy Relics they had prepared didn't interest Yawake Ichigo much. Besides, he didn't want to interfere with Berserker's relationship with Diarmuid, the loyal Servant of the King of Conquest.
Assassin, Diarmuid, was a decent Servant, aside from the side effect of potentially cuckolding his Master. He would undoubtedly make an excellent lackey.
As a single man in this world, Yawake Ichigo didn't have to worry about any green-hatted consequences.
The problem was that Kirei's Holy Relic hadn't been stolen by Berserker yet, and Diarmuid's Holy Relic wasn't in Kirei's possession at the moment.

The Einzbern Family had hired an outsider, the self-proclaimed "Magus Killer" Kiritsugu Emiya, who hadn't returned to Fuyuki City yet, or perhaps he had arrived and was lying low.
As for the Faruzuki Family... Yawake Ichigo decided to pass. After all, he sought a Heroic Spirit Servant, not a father figure.
While Shining Gilgamesh was undoubtedly powerful, his personality was a concern. Yawake Ichigo worried that he might lose control and kill Gilgamesh before the Holy Grail War even began.

And the reason for his longevity was that Kiryu Zangyin had abandoned his original body and transformed his soul into a worm, residing within the bloodline of his descendants, thus prolonging his lifespan.
With his hands in his pockets, Ye Yi kicked the fence in front of the Kiryu Mansion, and the moment he stepped into the courtyard, Kiryu Zangyin, who was inside the mansion, detected the intruder.
Magicians would always construct their own magic workshops as their strongholds, and the seemingly eerie Kiryu Mansion was Kiryu Zangyin's magic workshop.
Initially, Kiryu Zangyin didn't pay much attention to Ye Yi's intrusion, as the Holy Grail War was about to begin, and it was normal for some reckless individuals to provoke the Kiryu family, aiming to obtain a spot in the Holy Grail War.
After all, compared to the other two Great Families, the Einzbern family's main branch was located abroad, and the current head of the Faruzuki family, Faruzuki Tokito, was renowned.
The Kiryu family was currently in a state of decline, with the current head being an old man, and the heir, Kiryu Ganzai, was a useless magus without a magic circuit. It was only natural for outsiders to target them as easy prey.
Seemingly aware of the commotion outside, Kiryu Ganzai, with dull, grayish-white hair, faced the pained expression of the summoning array drawn on the ground before him, and his face also showed a hint of struggle.
"Ganzai, what are you hesitating about? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to endure this pain for Sakura and participate in the Holy Grail War?
You don't want to see Sakura thrown back into the dark and desolate bug cellar, do you? If you don't want to see her suffer again, then do as I say!"
As one of the Three Families, the Kiryu family's magic circuits had been in decline since Kiryu Zangyin's generation, and by the time it reached Kiryu Shinji, the decline was complete.
To prevent the Kiryu family from falling into ruin and to ensure he had a descendant to inhabit in the future, Kiryu Zangyin adopted a daughter of Faruzuki Tokito into the Kiryu family.
To meet the requirements of the Engraved Worm's habitation, the magic circuits within the body had to be on par with the Kiryu family's, so Kiryu Zangyin, who had prepared Kiryu Sakura as one of the vessels, naturally had to modify her magic circuits.
The process of modifying the magic circuits was undoubtedly painful, especially when dealing with a pervert like Kiryu Zangyin.
Kiryu Ganzai was not only Kiryu Zangyin's second son but also a loyal lapdog. He deeply loved Faruzuki Tokito's wife, Faruzuki Kui, and out of love for her, he also adored her two daughters, Faruzuki Rin and Kiryu Sakura.
Seeing the daughter of his goddess, Sakura, tormented by the worms day and night, Kiryu Ganzai could no longer bear it and chose to stand up, making a deal with Kiryu Zangyin.
He would participate in the Holy Grail War as the Holy Grail to help Kiryu Zangyin obtain the Holy Grail, and in exchange, Kiryu Zangyin must grant Sakura her freedom and let her return to her family.
After a year-long modification, the Engraved Worm enhanced Kiryu Ganzai's magic circuits, allowing him to reach the level required to summon a Heroic Spirit. For this, Kiryu Ganzai even squeezed out his own life force.
And on this very day, the day he was to summon a Heroic Spirit, an uninvited guest suddenly intruded upon the Kiryu family.
"Boom—!"
Accompanied by a loud noise from the entrance, the Kiryu family's solid wooden door was kicked open by a white-haired young man!
