He looked at Zelretch, getting off from the motorcycle. He can see Zelretch's grinning face while walking toward him. When Zelretch looks at his face, He then says.

"Thank you for letting me ride this bad boy. I hope you will let me ride it once more."

"No, BAD Zelretch, BAD"

"What did I do? I don't kill anyone!"

"Yes, but because of you, many governments from many countries are looking for you."

"Oh, come on! The local magus can take care of it."

"No, BAD"

He then places the motorcycle inside the pocket dimension before he drags Zelretch inside the Clock Tower. When they arrive at the Zelretch workshop, he lets the old vampire sit down on the sofa and says.

"Zelretch, while I like you, can you not make me disappointed? I know you are excited to test the ride, but at least do it with concealment spell."

"I'm sorry alright, I guess yeah, I'm too excited to ride your bike. In this universe, there is nothing like your motorcycle. This universe is fated to be doomed, you know? In the alternate not far away from this timeline, there is a demon god that awakens in the body of a young prodigy. In the other, there is a war between Gods and the Outer Gods. So when you come here and bring something that I never see, I easily get distracted."

"I see."

"Yup, also did you know, the previous day is the day when both Gaia and Alaya meet together and not fight with each other?"

"Really?"

"Yup"

They have this conversation for at least 3 hours while eating some food Kojiro cooks inside the workshop. Zelretch tells him a story of this world and its future. This universe is fated to be doomed or, at least, for humanity. Before he comes into this universe, the world will be dead when Gilgamesh decides to take the Greater Grail for himself, and Angra Mainyu decides that he doesn't want to be a slave once more and summons a corrupted servant to fight Gilgamesh. It was a mess that even Alaya sent out her counter guardian to kill both Gilgamesh and Angra Mainyu. The fight between Gilgamesh and an Army of Corrupted Servant lasts for a week because Gilgamesh decides to be serious the entire time and activates his Gate of Babylon the whole time. Their fight sinks half of Japan and kills millions of people. Many magus tries to stop both of them, but they just get killed on the spot by the curse Angra Mainyu release.

However, when Kojiro arrives in this universe. The future changes, and Zelretch can't see it with a Kaleidoscope. He says that every time he sees Kojiro inside the world, it comes up blank. However, when Kojiro is gone or goes to the other Universe, Zelretch can see the future once more.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

When he was gone, Zelretch was able to see the future just like he said. However, when he is in this universe, Zelretch can't see the future at all. All of them come up blank. He knows what causes this, but he doesn't know that this particular ability is this powerful. The one he is talking about is the Man of Mystery. He only knows that this ability only conceals his real identity and blocks any attempt to read his future. He speculated that all the events Zelretch sees have a connection to him, so he can't see the future using his power.

He snaps from his thoughts as he sees Zelretch teaching him the way of Jewel Magecraft. He must say that Jewel Magecraft is almost the same as Runecraft but, at the same time, different by a large margin. Runecraft requires the user to engrave the rune into the stone while Jewel Magecraft requires the user to control the flow inside the jewel to create different effects. Both of them have different qualities and weaknesses. Runecraft can be used on almost all surfaces, including water and air. Jewel Magecraft can only be used inside a jewel. Runecraft is weaker in terms of firepower compared to Jewel Magecraft.

"That is how you make the prana flow and create a barrier."

"Do I need to use Amethyst before I could create the barrier?"

"While you can Ametrine and Ruby, I don't recommend doing that because it is harder to control the flow of prana inside that kind of jewel and have more disappointing results."

"I see, So what is the use of Ametrine? I know ruby can be used as a catalyst for fire element attack, but Ametrine?"

"Ametrine is usually used as a battery for any magus. They can store a huge amount of prana inside a tiny jewel. The user can take the prana inside the jewel and use it as their emergency prana. I know the Tohsaka family has a huge Ametrine under their mansion for this Holy Grail."

"Talking about the Holy Grail, How many servants are still alive?"

"Officially, there are only five servants left. Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, and Berserker. However, because of you, many masters of this war already know that Kotomine Kirei is lying about his servant. So right now, there are six servants left running around."

"I see."

"Also, Kojiro, I want you to go to the Matou mansion right now."

"Why?"

"This is the right time to attack because I already created a barrier around the mansion that is strong enough to withstand an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm. Right now, Zouken is preparing to take 'care' of Kariya. What I mean by that, Zouken will give Kariya more worms inside his body. I want you to kill both of them while I prepare the ritual to purge the worm inside her body before it corrupts her body."

"Can't you do the same with Kariya?"

"No, I can't. Zouken forcefully used his worm to kill Kariya if it was taken out of Kariya's body. It already merged with his soul at this point because of Berserker's need for prana."

"... Very well, Is there anything I can do to kill Zouken for good?"

"An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm should be enough. Do you have it, right? I can lend you my arsenal if you don't have it."

"No, I'm good."

"Very well. Remember to do it fast. Zouken should be in the basement with his beloved pet. Godspeed"

After saying that, Zelretch opens a portal to the Matou resident. He looks at the mansion that looks like an old castle from the past. He can feel a strong barrier on top of the weaker barrier. As he approaches the first layer of Bounded Field, it opens up, and he can see a thin layer of the second Bounded Field around the mansion. He summoned his sword and activated it before slashing the bounded field open. He activates his magic sense and feels there are three people in the basement. However, he also 'smells' foul magic inside.

He quickly searches for the way in the basement for a minute before he feels a door that has many bounded fields all around it. He slashes it open and kicks the door before slowly going down the stairs. As he arrives in the basement, he sees something that makes him want to puke.

"Ahhhh, Welcome, stranger. What can I help you with?"

Kojiro looked at the short old man with a cane on his hand standing in the middle of a thousand worm looking creatures. The old man is not the only person in the basement as he sees a child with a blank face lying on top of the worm while the creature crawls outside and inside her body. Kojiro also can see another man lying in the middle of the creature while unconscious.

He unconsciously summons his gun on his hand as he begins to see RED.
