Alex woke up in a nice bed. As he got up, he saw that his place was rather stacked with everything a normal person would want. Of course Alex was no ordinary person. He looked in the mirror and saw smooth black hair, tan skin, with his left eye yellow and right eye red. He has normal business clothes on. He walked around and it was extremely nice place. With at least a dozen spare bedrooms, large kitchen, liningroom, and more. Alex eventually reached what looked like a summoning room, with an alter and what looks like a scabbard on it. "This must be what I need to summon Artoria. And the other stuff around must be her's as well" He said as there were objects around as well. "Notice: Avalon, the Everdistant Utopia. Scabbard of Excalibur. When given to Artoria Pendragon, give regeneration, protection, and accsess to the Noble Phantasm Avalon. Best defensive noble phantasm and its largely a passive. With all objects around. Artoria will likely have all skills evolved to peak" a voice said in his head. "Ah, you must be Rapheal. Thank you" Alex said which he heard approving sound from it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a calender with a date marked in a few days that read "Summon then, holy Grail war starts then". "OK, might as well ask. Rapheal, what's likely going to happen at the start of the war?" Alex asked. "Answer. Most likely, local factions aware of the chant and war will fight first. Than it will slowly ramp up with several casualties. As the military enters the equation, most likely the chant will leak out, causing civilians to enter the fight and lose their lives. Using [Universal Detecton] on Japan. There are a total of 7 factions with at least 25 to 60 who have the mana needed to effectively use a Servent. From what it looks like, you should read the news online" Rapheal said and Alex nodded. He went to the computer and looked online. "Massive War? People all over the world are gathering into groups and arming themselves. Could this be another world war?" The article said. "Man, sounds like people know of the holy Grail war. I guess its too big for the Mage Association to try to hide. With something this large, I doubt its just Mages and Servents I will fight. Thank god they shouldn't be a problem with my skills. Although if my body is completely destroyed from a noble phantasm, id die. Need to take care ans use Absolute Defense Uriel when I need to. Though if I were hit with multiple one after another I would likely not bad able to" Alex said after thinking. "Correct. Even with your vast amount of mana. You can only use Uriel about 10 times in a row. After that you will need to activate Santanel or another mana generating skill. It will also take time to restore the skills sacrificed to Uriel" Rapheal said. Alex looked at the time and the days till the war. "Rapheal, is it possible for me to summon her now? I know they are usually allowed to be summoned after a specific time but I'd like to get to know her" he asked. "Answer: You can summon her now since you have all the objects required. And its a good idea. The person known as Artoria Pendragon has Dragon Blood and The ability Dragon Slayer. She will sense you are a dragon. Plus the time to explain everything will help in the long run" Rapheal said. Max opened the drawer to get the [Heart of the Cards] and attach it to his belt. "Alright, lets do this" he said as he entered the summoning room. He closed his eyes and started.
Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation
Let my great Master Tempest be the ancestor
Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall
Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
I hereby declare.
Your body shall serve under me.
My fate shall be your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail
If you will submit to this will and this reason…Then answer!
An oath shall be sworn here!
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!
From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three greet words of power,
Come forth from the ring of restraints,
Protector of the Holy Balance! " he chanted. At the same time the magic circle glowed and the scabbard and all other items glowed along with it. In a few moments a bright light enveloped the room. A but after, the light dimmed down and there was a knight in armor, with her scabbard but weilding a blade that wasn't there. "Are you my Master? And why are you a dragon?" She said, in an attack stance. "Wait, just let me" he started to say before he got stabbed in the shoulder by Artoria. It was significantly less pain than expected. Probably because of Pain Resistance and Physical damage resistance. "Who are you?" She said under her helmet.
