"There's no way they can't see us." Rin denies as we perch on a building across the street from the Matou Estate.
"Presence concealment A+, babe." I laughed, "We could be standing right next to the decrepit old bastard and he wouldn't know we were there unless we tried attacking him."
I boomeranged a pair of sapphire and gold throwing knives from two separate braces across my body and had them land in their opposite sheathes, having materialized original Assassin's Creed style after eating Hassan. Throwing/Retrieval: A is a hellishly fun skill so long as you aren't a fun Nazi Muslim assasin. Poor guy had access to endless entertainment through boomeranging and trick shots, but could never have used it for fear of King Hassan showing up and demanding his head for the levity.
"Alright, Sakura is leaving." Rin stated as we watched her sister leave the estate and head for school, "By the power of my command seal, I order you to use your Noble Phantasm to destroy the Matou Estate!"
A river of incredible power on par with High Thaumaturgy flowed into me, allowing me to easily put my everything into this one incredible attack. Materializing my bow, now reskinned with the same sapphire and gold entwined with the ivory of dragon bone, I placed a red spear on the string and drew back the fullness of its arc and shouted my mantra.
"FUCK EVERYTHING IN THAT GENERAL AREA! GAE BOLG: SOARING DRAGON PIERCER!"
In a rare inversion of my Skyrim legend translating into Fate, my Noble Phantasm: Dragon Piercing Shot is way more powerful than anything I accomplished in the land of the Elder Scrolls. While Skyrim dragons are pretty much rats with wings, Fate dragons are a motherfucking nightmare, and having a legend involving slaying dragons is top tier OP stuff. As such having a dragon piercing Noble Phantasm means that pretty defenses are essentially useless.
My laser cannon arrow launched across the street and didn't even pause for an instant as it tore right through the Matou Estate's defenses. Landing in the center of the compound, stage two of the fused Phantasm exploded. A radiant pink sphere expanded from the point of impact, atomizing everything within the radius I desired, leaving behind nothing bot a perfectly circular crater in its passing.
"I can see why the Bael's have their dick's so hard for the power of destruction." I murmured, "That was fucking beautiful."
My master's sister had turned to witness the attack and now fell to her knees weeping. Probably tears of sorrow considering the state of her self worth and Stockholm Syndrome. Picking up Rin with one arm, I leapt to Sakura's side, Wind Resistance: A and a little instant cast magic making the transition buttery smooth. Without a word I yoinked the purple haired girl right there off the streets and dragged her to my insidious lair in the basement of Rin's house.
We could have taken some time to talk to her, probably calm her down with my Charisma: A, but instead I took out a dagger and slit one of her wrists horizontally, not to be confused with the lethal vertical cut of the wrist. Using her blood and my magic, I laid out three ritual circles, the inner with three points of focus, the middle with seven, and the outer with thirteen. At the center of each focus point I placed a large uncut gem, and at the center of it all I placed the terrified teenage girl.
Thank God for my pick up of High Speed Divine Words: A allowing me to instant cast High Thaumaturgy level magic, cause I would hate to have had to come up with some mystic mumbo jumbo bullshit chant to make this magic ritual happen. Instead I just got to look really cool snapping my fingers, causing the circles of blood to glow scarlet and the Mana in the area to do its best interpretation of a hurricane.
Soon, streams of black energy slammed into the circle from without - sourcing from Angra Mainyu and Zouken - and from within -sourcing from Sakura - filling the thirteen gems on the outside before moving on to the second level of gems, doing the same. The third and final layer was only subjected to a magical trickle of energy, and failed to fill even a single gemstone.
The catalyst of the ritual was left pale and breathing raggedly, so I placed Avalon and the Golden Fleece on top of her and watched as the EX level healing items completely undid the damage left behind by the presence of the Grail Shards and Crest Worms within her.
Walking around, I picked up the gems and absorbed the power within them. Every ounce of energy both Mana and Od from Zouken and Angra Mainyu existed in these precious stones, and I ate up every ounce of it, allowing me to temporarily boost my mana supply much higher than it was before. It wouldn't decay, only pass in using, and I could still operate using my supply from Rin entirely, saving the extra power for the coming fights.
"Killed two disgusting creatures with one attack and cleared the Grail up to work like it's supposed to." I bragged to no one in particular, "Winning."
I took back my gear and picked the patient up from the floor.
"Hello there." I grinned, "I'm the devil, Diodora Astaroth, at your service."
"Th… the devil?" Sakura squeaked.
"Yes indeed." I continued my smile and eye contact.
Does it count as eye contact when my eyes are doing that anime closed eyes but can still see thing?
"Stop scaring her, Dio." Rin commanded in a huff.
"Oh, I think we are well beyond scared after I destroyed her home and kidnapped her." I laughed, "I also killed Shinji and Zouken, and I would have killed your daddy, but the local priest beat me over the fence."
"I get it already!" Rin growled, "You hate my dad. He was scum, and a coward, and all the shit wrong with both our lives was caused by him."
"Finally!" I exclaimed and then looked back at Sakura, "I've been chipping away at that idealized image of Tokiomi since I got here."
"Just get on with the sales pitch already." Rin ordered.
"Onnit." I stated and then took Sakura's hands into my own before singing "Do you want to be a devil?"
