Chapter 56. ns
Rei walked next to Archer as Eve was talking toRinandEmiya.
"So sensei, tell me. Why do you persist on amnesia when I could tell that you know about the ability I used." Rei said sitting down. Snapping his fingers he isted the space before gesturing to Archer to talk.
*Sigh
"I''m sure I don''t know you and how do you have my personal ability." Archer said serious.
"Well I suppose I know you from a different world. Not the current you but a parallel you if you would say." Rei said looking out to the city.
"That still doesn''t exin how youhave the ability." Archer turned towards Rei.
"The ability is likea inheritanceI suppose, but I should tell you now that killing your present self wont change anything you know." Rei said breaking the news to Archer.
"What do you mean?! Wont killing the cause change the effect!" Archer said frowning.
"No, the throne of heroes is a databank of all the information on heroes. When theyare summoned, their datais copiedand pasted into the world. Even if you kill your past self, your data gathered from a different timeline has already been stored." Rei said shaking his head.
"No....YOUR LYING!!!" Archer said in denial.
"I am really sensei?" Rei said looking at Archer.
Seeing that Rei isn''t lying, Archer sat back down in defeat.
"So Ican''t bespared of this..." Archer said as he lost his wish of being freed from the throne.
"Not entirely." Rei said rekindling the hope in Archer.
"What? Is there another way?"
"Yes but I can''t do it yet. I''ll need this grail war to end first, I can then use the energy being returned to the throne to track down thelocation. With that Ishould beable to destroy a part of the throne releasing your ''Data''/contract and youshould befree." Rei said telling Archer about his ns.
"Why are you telling me this." Archer suddenly said not understanding why Rei would do this even if in he had apparently trained him for 10 years.
"Well, I can''t sayi''ma good guy so let''s just say because it''s interesting." Rei said smiling.
"You see, I already know the way this timeline will go, so I thought I''ll change it up a bit. Join in the summoning, kill a few trash masters here and there. And maybe take the throne of heroes for myself." Rei''s smile grew wider.
"And here I thought Iwas fuckedup...." Archer said looking at Rei.
"??? What do you mean?" Rei said not understanding him.
"You''ve lost your entire regard for human life or most things for that matter, you only do things for fun now...." Archer said as he walked away.
"Huh.....And what about it?" Rei said not bothering.
Archer turned around shocked at what Rei said.
"You see sensei, Eve and fun are the only thingsi''minterested in anymore. Pair that with 130,000 years of seclusion resulting in a disregard for most things and getting your nihilism, we then get my current self." Rei said with a smile and a shrug.
"And your fine with that?" Archer said frowning.
"Yes I am, as long as I have my two main interestsi''mfine." Rei said epting how broken he was.
Silence carried on as Archer stared at Rei while Rei looked at the city.
"Hey! Archer, Rei! We''re heading over to see the fake priest do you want toe?."Rinshouted towards them as theypreparedto head over to the church.
"Hm? Sure." Rei said as he jumped downnding next to Eve.
Archer only looked at Rei with a slight frown before disappearing.
It didn''t take long for the group to reach the church as Saber decided to stay outside and keep watch.
"Why do you suppose Saber won''te in with us?"Emiyaasked seeing Saber stay outside.
"Well she did say she was in this time period before, so maybe something happened between her and the fakepriesthere."Rinsaid as she walked towards the church.
IgnoringEmiyaandRin, Eve pulled on Rei''s sleeve.
"Hey Rei, should we killKireisooner?" Eve whispered.
"Hm....Sure, in this timeline he had a small roll after all." Rei said back as he dismissed the space.
"Rin, you have never epted my repeated invitations, and now, here you are with threeunsualguests."Kireisaid as he looked back.
"I take it that one is the seventh master and the other two are thehalfservants?"Kireicontinued as he examinedEmiya, Rei and Eve.
"Talk to the seventh master first before us." Rei said as he and Eve sat down waiting forKireito exin the war toEmiya.
AsKireiexined the war, Rei was thinking about themand seals.
''Themand seals work as soul seals. They take a very smallportionofthe persons soulbefore converting it into a seal. The person who uses the seal is able to bend the person affectedagainttheir will. But it seems like the seals here allow for threemands....'' Rei continued to think about theconstructionof the seal.
''Now thenontoyou two."Kireisaid as he finished talking toEmiya. Rei stood up with Eve as they walkedinfrontofEmiyaandRin.
"Let''scut to the chase." Rei said as he traced a few des to float in the air andKyokiin its first form in his hands. Feeling that they are real noble phantasms,Kireiseyes widened slightly.
''Gate ofBabylon?!'' He though shocked as the only one who has asimrability is Gilgamesh.
"KotomineKirei, Master of Lancer." Rei said as he walked forward shocking the people behind him andKirei.
"Die." Rei said as he disappeared from view.
"Lancere!"Kireishouted quickly in a panic.
Unfortunately, Rei was faster than the speed of summoning. 5 des including theKyokiin Rei''s hand shredded up the body ofKireicausing flesh and limbsto bethrown.
"You....." Lancer said as he finished being summoned. Swinging his spear at Rei, Lancer attacked only for Rei to pinch the de with ease.
"Your current master wasn''t a decent human so why attack me for him?" Rei said to Lancer.
"...." Lancer was silent as he knew that Rei was right.
"Well either way it is no use now. Would you like to stay in this world for now or leave?" Rei asked giving Lancer a chance.
"And how would I stay in this world?" Lancer asked looking at Rei.
"Be my servant." Rei said simply.
"I refuse, just kill me." Lancer said as he didn''t wantto bebeneath Rei who didn''twarranthis loyalty.
"As you wish." Rei said as he cut off Lancer''s head.
"Why did you kill him!"Emiyashouted as he saw Rei kill with ease.
"He was dead to begin with. By chance he''ll probably be summoned again in the future." Rei said as he walked out of thelocationwithout worry of what he just did.
Emiyacould only watch Rei and Eve walk away.
"Rinchan, you should know thatKireiwas also the one who killed your father. How we know? We know the what happened in the 4th grail war." Eve said helpfully toRinwhile they passed her,Rin''seyes widened at the realisation.
Walking out, Rei sensed Berserker near by.
"Hou...I do wonder what it feels like tochallengeademigod." Rei said with a smile.
"You know that with your powerright now,demigodor not. He will still die you know." Eve said.
"Of course, but I want to see how aso-calleddemigodmatches with meright now...."
