Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

At night, Chihiro and his companions walked through the fog-covered streets.

He had already moved out of his previous residence and planned to return to his own world.

Logically, he should have left last night after obtaining the Holy Grail. However, due to exhaustion from the previous battle, he chose to stay for one more day.

Still, he knew that Amakusa Shirou would not simply let him leave.

Judging by the situation, the Black and Red factions may have joined forces once again.

After all, there was no way Darnic would sit idly by and watch him take the Holy Grail away.

The moment he stepped outside, he could feel hidden eyes watching him from the darkness.

Before he even reached the street corner, a white mist suddenly appeared, covering all of Trifas.

Jack the Ripper had she been persuaded by Amakusa Shirou as well?

That man was truly skilled at deceiving people.

[Name: Jack the Ripper (Abandoned Child of Fog City); Class: Assassin; Gender: Female; Alignment: Chaotic Evil.]

[Strength: C; Endurance: C; Agility: A; Mana: C; Luck: E; Noble Phantasm: C.]

[Class Skills: Presence Concealment A+.]

[Personal Skills: Murderer on a Misty Night A, Information Erasure B, Surgical Procedure E.]

[Noble Phantasm: Maria the Ripper (D+ Rank Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm).]

A flash of silver gleamed as Jack suddenly dropped from a nearby rooftop, aiming her blade directly at Chihiro. However, her attack was intercepted by the King beside him, who relied on her instinct to block the strike.

Jack had no intention of engaging in direct combat. She quickly withdrew into the mist, clearly planning to wage a guerrilla battle.

Jack wanted the Holy Grail, she wished to be with Reika forever, and Reika shared the same desire. Because of this, they were convinced by Amakusa Shirou to join his side.

Amakusa Shirou had also replenished Jack's magical energy, eliminating her need to devour the hearts of magi.

"Ka-ka…"

A mechanical clatter echoed as a large number of puppets emerged from the mist, surrounding Chihiro and his companions.

Chihiro smirked. "Quite the spectacle. You're not worried about being seen?"

With that, he immediately fused with his armor.

He needed to be careful, if Chiron was stationed somewhere far away, he might be preparing a Scorpion Shot.

Not to mention, Jack's mist was poisonous. He wouldn't forget that.

Iskandar: "Strange, why aren't their other Servants showing up?"

Within minutes, all the surrounding puppets had been torn apart by Chihiro and his companions.

While they appeared numerous, they were ultimately just cannon fodder.

Yet, aside from Jack's initial attack, none of the enemy Servants had revealed themselves.

Artoria: "Let's get out of this fog. Our vision is too obstructed for battle here."

The group began moving out of town when suddenly, a cold gleam shot from the sky. Artoria swiftly reacted, cutting the arrow down with her sword.

It was Chiron—sniping from an elevated position.

They were in a thick mist, yet he could still aim at them. Was Jack helping him pinpoint their locations?

With A+ ranked Presence Concealment, combined with her own mist, Jack would be nearly impossible to detect unless she actively revealed herself.

They quickened their pace to escape the fog.

Then, another volley of arrows rained down, not just one, but several.

This wasn't a single person's attack. Atalanta was involved too.

As they moved, they had to defend against the continuous arrows from Chiron and Atalanta. Jack would also occasionally appear to launch surprise attacks before vanishing again. Meanwhile, golems emerged at intervals to hinder them, making the situation increasingly irritating.

Chihiro frowned. What was the point of this kind of attack?

Why weren't Siegfried, Achilles, Karna, and the other heavy hitters appearing?

Wait—how did they end up at the square?

Staring at the plaza before him, Chihiro suddenly understood.

They had been led into a trap. The enemy had been subtly controlling their movements from the very start, forcing them into this location.

A magic circle suddenly illuminated beneath their feet.

"A trap?!"

Chihiro and his companions immediately prepared to defend themselves, but a flash of white light enveloped them, and the scene around them changed in an instant.

"Teleportation magic?"

Chihiro raised an eyebrow as he looked around.

He now stood within a familiar church.

Of course, it was familiar—he had seen it in a video earlier. This was the place where Dracula had fallen.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon had teleported him here!

He had underestimated his opponent. He hadn't expected them to drag him directly into their stronghold.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Here, Semiramis could exert strength far beyond her usual limits. Even the power of Command Seals could be nullified within a certain radius.

"Welcome, Chihiro. This is our first formal meeting."

Atop the grand staircase, Amakusa Shirou stood in his crimson robe, smiling warmly.

---

"Hey, what the hell is this?"

Elsewhere in the Hanging Gardens, Iskandar had just been teleported into another area.

Before he could fully assess his surroundings, a swarm of fierce flying fish suddenly appeared and lunged at him.

Iskandar wasted no time. He immediately summoned Gordius Wheel, and under the furious bombardment of the Flying Hoof Thunder Bulls, most of the flying fish were obliterated.

As he ascended into the air, he finally grasped his situation.

They had been transported to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

"Separated, huh? They're trying to take us down one by one."

A streak of green light shot down from above—it was Achilles.

Iskandar smirked. "Achilles, are you challenging me to a duel?"

"Whoa, whoa, hold on. The battle's already decided," Achilles replied with a laugh.

"I already crushed your army twice."

Iskandar: "Haha! As long as I live, my army is indestructible!"

Achilles: "Really? What a shame. My mission today is just to keep you occupied."

"Hold me back? So you're focusing everything on Chihiro?"

Iskandar grinned. "You might be disappointed. That guy isn't so easy to deal with."

Achilles: "Don't be so sure."

Iskandar: "By the way, where's your spear? I don't see you carrying it today."

Achilles: "..."

Why was he bringing that up now?

What was he supposed to say? That his spear had been taken away by his own Master?

Talking about losing his weapon as a warrior, it was just too embarrassing.

Elsewhere, the First Emperor, Artoria, and Diarmuid also encountered their opponents, Vlad III, Siegfried, and Fionn from the Black faction.

Or rather, Vlad III was no longer a Servant of the Black faction.

At this point, the Black Faction existed in name only.

That morning, when the Q&A video was revealed, Vlad III had a massive fallout with Darnic.

In the end, Darnic had to restrain him using a Command Seal, but their relationship had completely broken down.

The Master-Servant relationship between Avicebron and Roche had also grown strained.

Even after the Q&A session ended and the chaos settled, they had learned from the group chat about what transpired afterward.

When Roche discovered that he had been marked for sacrifice, he was furious.

Although obsessed with his golem, he had no intention of sacrificing his life for it.

As a result, Roche now kept his distance from Avicebron, fearing he would meet the same fate as in the video.

Meanwhile, Avicebron who had betrayed the Black faction without hesitation in the video, found himself isolated.

Seeing the situation, Avicebron wasted no time. He directly contacted Amakusa Shirou and defected.

Truly a cold and pragmatic individual.

Hearing about the Black faction's state, Amakusa Shirou also reached out to Vlad III. After some persuasion, the Impaler switched sides as well.

The Black faction lost two Servants at once, leaving Darnic furious yet powerless.

After all, the Black faction was now the weakest force.

Still, Amakusa Shirou extended an offer for an alliance and Darnic, desperate, accepted.

This time, he hoped to be the oriole waiting behind the mantis, but whether he would succeed was another matter entirely.

Chihiro glanced around and asked, "Are you alone?"

[Name: Amakusa Shirou Tokisada; Class: Ruler; Gender: Male; Alignment: Lawful Good.]

[Strength: C; Endurance: C; Agility: B; Mana: A; Luck: E; Noble Phantasm: D.]

[Class Skills: Magic Resistance A+, True Name Discernment B, God's Resolution(False).]

Amakusa Shirou smiled.

"Of course not. I've prepared the perfect opponent for you."
