Chapter 1616.2: Fallback
In the beginning, Cuchulainn had received a cruel lesson from Su Xiao and had lost most of his strength. Emiya Kiritsugu was a good tactician, but as for strength... he was average at best. Of course, quite strong Heroic Souls will take part in this war, for example Gilgamesh, who will be in the shadows most of the time, plus you should not forget about Berserker, Caster and Assassin.
Thinking of Sasaki Kojiro, Su Xiao recalled his trump card, which allowed him to attack at the same time from three completely different directions.
— Where's your sister?
Su Xiao's question made Rin even more confused.
— My sister?
— Mato Sakura.
— This... I dunno, she's been missing for quite some time, " Rin replied and moved to the side. She felt that the way Su Xiao was looking at her was wrong, it felt like he could cut her apart at any moment.
Emiya, who was sitting at the side, looked normal, but it was obvious from his expression that he didn't know anything about Mato Sakura, which made Su Xiao think about something.
Everything developed according to the past passage of the Blood Gate. Mato Sakura, on the other hand, was certainly a key figure in this fifth Holy Grail war. Moreover, Emiya should have been quite familiar with Sakura and definitely should have looked less calm and collected than he was right now.
After putting all the strings together, Su Xiao stopped questioning and thought about something.
— Emiya said and gave Su Xiao a relatively kind smile. — I don't know your name yet. If you have any requests, we can talk about them. And ... I have a request, " after saying all this, Emiya straightened up, wanting to reveal his wish in as prepared a position as possible.
— Call me Byakuya. Su Xiao said and looked at Emiya with a smile on his face. Now that the Blood Gate still hadn't come out, there was no need for it to start shining prematurely. He was sure that Emiya might not be able to take his actions for granted by then, but it didn't matter. In the worst case scenario, he will simply change his "Master". Rin was one of the backup options for this case.
— Something happened? Emiya asked, looking at Su Xiao with a steady gaze. He had felt from the beginning that this Heroic Soul he had summoned didn't seem to be from the good guys ' camp. No, it wasn't the Heroic Soul that he had summoned to this world, but rather the creature that had used him as a mark and had come to this world itself.
At this moment, a faint roar could be heard from far away. Su Xiao could hear it, but that didn't mean Rin and Emiya could hear it.
— Bubtni.
— Woof, " said Bubtney, and he got up, pushed open the sliding door, and quickly disappeared into the night..
Rin's Heroic Soul appeared next to her and whispered something in her ear.
In less than ten minutes, Bubtney was back.
Appearing out of nowhere, he shook his head and stopped dragging the bloodied contractor in his mouth.
Seeing the man covered in blood, Rin and Emiya immediately ran outside.
— Khe-khe-khe... - this contractor was a man in his 40s. The wounds on his body were quite serious.
It was obvious from the look of him that he wouldn't last very long.
Su Xiao took a few steps forward and placed one hand on his neck, stopping the blood gushing out of his neck. Seeing this, Emiya felt somewhat relieved. His Servant was trying to save this person, which meant that he wasn't a bad person.
— Who did this? Su Xiao asked as he squatted down in front of the middle-aged contractor, ignoring the blood flowing out through his fingers.
— Bloody ones… The gate ... clears the world... " The middle-aged contractor immediately replied. He knew very well that he wouldn't last long, so he immediately gave out the requested information.
— That's how? Good luck.
*Click!*
After the crunch, the contractor's eyes glazed over.
The people from the Blood Gate finally started to move.
— But before Emiya could finish, he heard a nasty crunching sound, and then his pupils narrowed.
— Bubtni, Amu, Benny, send it, " Su Xiao said, and after brushing the blood off his hand, he walked out of the courtyard.
— I'll use the power of the Command Spell, Saber, stop in place immediately, " Emiya said and raised his hand.
The seals on his hand glowed red, but... nothing happened.
His seals seemed to be fake.
— Emiya-san, it seems that your Heroic Soul won't be easy to deal with, " Rin said as she looked at Su Xiao's retreating back. She suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be a big and reliable whale, but a dangerous Heroic Soul that even her Master couldn't control.
