Right at that moment, everyone present suddenly felt a presence. It was the Saber class Servant, who had just been summoned.
"Huh? Has that dragon-slaying Saber been summoned?" Tohsaka Rin said first.
"It seems the last Servant has finally arrived. Only now does the Fifth Holy Grail War truly begin," Illya also looked in a certain direction.
"Jekyll, aren't I always asking you to go out and investigate? What's in that direction?" Matou Sakura also looked in the same direction. Clearly, they all felt that the last Saber class Servant came from that direction.
"That direction... I investigated it before. I remember feeling aura-filled earth veins near a villa," Jekyll said.
"Yeah, I felt it too," Dad also said.
Tohsaka Rin's face turned ugly as she listened to them, because the only aura-filled earth vein in that direction belonged to Tohsaka Rin's house.
"That's my house!" Tohsaka Rin said, looking upset.
Hearing Tohsaka Rin's words, Tia immediately recalled something.
Tohsaka Rin's house is one of the places with the best earth veins in the entire Fuyuki City. Another place with equally good earth veins is Ryudou Temple, which is above the Great Hollow underground where the Holy Grail is located.
Now that Tohsaka Rin isn't home and nobody's there, doesn't that mean they took this opportunity to run there and use the earth vein power to summon a Servant?
What exactly do they want to do? What are they planning to summon?
Right at that moment, Tia suddenly felt a very overwhelming presence coming from that direction.
Everyone else's expressions changed as well.
"Damn it! That's my house!" Tohsaka Rin immediately got angry. "Archer! Take me home quickly!"
As Tohsaka Rin spoke, she ran out first. Archer followed closely behind her, ready to take her home.
Naturally, Tia had to rush over immediately to see what happened.
However, when Tia and the others ran outside, they were completely shocked by what appeared in the sky.
A huge dragon appeared in the sky at this time. The dragon was unbelievably large, almost as big as the entire Fuyuki Bridge. It was as big and imposing as when the giant octopus's divine form descended during the Fourth War.
Even back then, it triggered King Arthur's Holy Sword and willpower sent Senji Muramasa, the god-slaying EX, here.
But now, willpower isn't reacting at all.
It didn't send any god-slaying Servants down to protect the world from being destroyed by this dragon, nor did it send adjudicators or anything to determine that the Holy Grail War was experiencing an unforeseen crisis.
"What is that thing?!" Emiya Kiritsugu was completely shocked.
"A dragon!" Irisviel said in disbelief.
"That's... a real dragon!" Illya said, also in disbelief.
"Roar!!!" Heracles immediately stood in front of Illya, his aura exploding with full force.
"That... could it be the legendary evil dragon Fafnir?!" Dad said in shock. "And I can clearly feel the Servant's presence. That dragon is a Servant! Judging from the presence of the Saber class Servant that appeared just now, which spread to everyone, that dragon's identity... although it's hard to believe, it's very likely to be the final Saber class Servant!"
"How are we supposed to fight that! That's too unfair!" Tohsaka Rin shouted.
"That's awful. Aren't they cheating? Summoning something like that!" Matou Sakura also said.
"Teacher, is there any way to use magic potions to suppress that kind of thing?" Matou Shinji asked, looking unhappy.
"Impossible... Even my Philosopher's Stone wouldn't work on him," Dad shook his head.
"Lancelot, do you have a way to deal with him?" At this time, Matou Kariya looked at Lancelot.
Lancelot nodded.
"Of course."
Just kidding. There's no way the current Lancelot couldn't beat that dragon. But if he took action, they would suspect him, because so many things that don't belong to Lancelot would appear.
"Really! That's great! As expected, Lancelot is the most reliable!" Matou Kariya immediately smiled.
"Roar~~~~!!" Heracles turned his head and growled at Lancelot, then rushed forward without hesitation.
"Berserker!" Illya was startled when she saw Heracles suddenly rush out and shouted immediately
"Master, I'm going too," Lancelot said and rushed out as well.
Tia nodded.
After a short while, the giant dragon in the distance had already begun to fight Lancelot and Heracles.
Heracles relied on his Twelve Labors body to fight the dragon head-on. After easily killing Heracles twice, the dragon could no longer inflict fatal wounds on him.
Instead, Heracles kept adding new wounds to the dragon, causing it to roar constantly.
Lancelot had originally helped Heracles fight a few times, but soon realized that this dragon was just huge and had a strong aura, making it seem scary. In reality, it was still just a Saber class Servant. Lancelot even wondered if it could withstand his Holy Sword.
At that moment, a red spear suddenly flew toward the Matou Family's door where Tia and the others were. Archer immediately rushed up and knocked the red spear away.
Tia immediately looked over and saw... the mad black dog.
"You are... Cu Chulainn!" After hesitating for a moment, Archer questioned.
"Hmph! Archer, we meet again. This time, you probably won't be my match!" the mad dog said to Archer.
"What happened to you? Why did you become like this? Are you berserk? It feels a lot like a Berserker," Archer continued to ask.
"Regarding that, you might as well ask him," the mad dog said, looking at Tia.
"Emiya Shirou," Archer glanced at Tia, but then looked back at the mad dog. "I only want to ask you."
Archer didn't want to say much to Tia, who was Emiya Shirou. Besides, Archer was aware of Lancelot's strength and didn't think that Cu Chulainn, who had come to kill Emiya Shirou back then, could have gained any advantage.
Tia herself was happy to be left alone and didn't need to explain anything.
"That's right, what exactly happened back then?" But Tohsaka Rin wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Tohsaka Rin had chased after them all the way here.
