Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan - Chapter 240: I am a Master
If Tamazuki wasn’t chosen by the Holy Grail, then he decided to rob the qualification of others.
That’s what he did to Uryuu Ryuunosuke.
He robbed Command Spells, a symbol of someone chosen as a participant, and three absolute spells for a Master to get the obedience of the Servant.
Master.
It is a designation given to an individual, usually a Magus, who has become one of the formal participants of the Holy Grail War by obtaining Command Spells and forming a contract with a Servant.
Yet it wasn’t absolute since even Ryuunosuke, who wasn’t a Magus, could be chosen.
However, it was him now.
It might be strange how easy it was for him to get the Command Spells from Ryuunosuke, but as he had a “Magic Talent” and “Enhanced Learning,” it was easy for him to learn the basics or even create the “Command Spells.” Moreover, it was even easier for him to steal the Command Spells from others.
Especially when he had “Degenerate,” the Unique Skill from Shizu.
Degenerate has two abilities: synthesis and separation.
With synthesis, he could merge two objects into one.
With separation, he could separate inherent properties.
In this example, he could separate Ryuunosuke’s Command Spells, then merge them on his body.
Moreover, Ryuunosuke was just a normal human.
Doing this was just like walking into the park.
Nevertheless, with the analysis from Ava, he could recreate Command Spells, but even if he could create them, they were nothing but fake as in this war known as Holy Grail, the Command Spells were only limited to 21 in number.
More than that, it was nothing but a fake.
Unless… unless those Command Spells were something gained from the previous Holy Grail.
Nevertheless, even if the ones that he created were fake, he believed that the Holy Grail wouldn’t think that it was fake.
After all, like in reality, a fake could become genuine as long as everyone believed it.
Genuine could also become fake.
It was a paradox.
Then, when everything was over, and he had erased Ryuunosuke from the Earth, he took a house as his base camp. He controlled the owner and the rest and bought this house immediately, then made them leave.
The house wasn’t luxurious, but even so, it was impossible for a normal person to buy it. It had two stories, a good yard, and a modern yet simple interior.
He also used magic, so the neighbors wouldn’t think his appearance in the house was weird, or rather, they would think of him as their everyday neighbor.
‘Should I buy more?’
Frankly, having several base camps might be better, but the other Masters would definitely not be able to tell that he was living among normal people, so it might be a waste of funds.
However, this was the advantage of those Masters who weren’t part of the Three Founding Families. Those from the Founding Families had their own houses, and their base camp was in that house, so they couldn’t hide.
Meanwhile, the other Masters, who weren’t Fuyuki City’s natives, could live in any place they wanted to, and as long as they didn’t use a “Magecraft” and hid well, no one would be able to find them.
Nevertheless, even if the location of the base camp of the Three Founding Families were something that everyone knew, no one thought to attack it since their base camp or house was like a fortress. It was full of traps and various other things.
Even if a “Servant” was powerful, they might die if they entered the base camp of the Three Founding Families carelessly.
Now, with his base camp settled, he has decided to summon a Servant.
Servant.
Servants are Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail for the purpose of competing under the Masters in the Holy Grail War.
Still, when he thought about a Servant, he couldn’t help but feel quite curious as their identity was a hero and famous figures from the past.
It was also because of this he hesitated at what kind of Servant that he should summon.
Though, he could only summon the class of servants that hadn’t been summoned as the other six servants had been summoned.
Whether it was Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Assassin, or even Berserker had been summoned.
Then, the only class of Servant that he could summon would be…
“Caster.”
When he thought of Caster, it was like a Mage in the RPG game or even the “Mages” in this world.
However, it didn’t matter since while Caster might be weak in a frontal and direct fight, this class of Servant had a lot of tricks.
Nevertheless, when he thought about the heroes and another type of Servants that appeared on the Fate/Zero, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Stubborn.
If he remembered well, all the Servants that appeared in this world were stubborn, and all of them had their own beliefs.
All of them were irrational and followed their ideals and beliefs to the end, even if they clashed with their Masters.
Because of this, Tamazuki didn’t really want to summon those famous heroes or kings.
‘If possible, I want an obedient one that won’t cause trouble and follow my orders without giving me a headache.’
In this world, he had several goals.
The first goal was the heroine.
He had taken down Aoi Tohsaka, and he gained…
<Congratluations, you have received “Breed”>
While it might sound strange, he has the ability to make children without worrying. As long as he wanted to, he could make a woman pregnant and bore his children. Moreover, his child would be amazing, and they would receive his traits along with his traits, races, or even talents of the mother.
Lastly, the children of the monster might take the energy of the parents to grow and weaken the parents’ power as their power is needed to supply the growth of their children, but Tamazuki didn’t need to worry about that since his women could get pregnant like a human usually did.
Frankly, if a woman bore his children, they would die as their energy would be sucked dry by their children. Unless he supported the woman with energy, they would be in a critical situation.
However, this ability erased that worry and made him sigh in relief since this ability helped him to make a woman pregnant without worry.
Leaving this ability aside, his second goal was the Holy Grail. It was something he sought after, as it would lead him to Root and enable him to master magic, the highest class of Mystery that surpasses Magecraft and all current sciences of that age, along with all other information and abilities that existed inside the Root.
As for the problem within the Grail, Tamazuki believed that he could solve it.
Then, as for his last goal, it was to devour all the Servants within this Holy Grail.
Well, not all, but some of them since there were also heroines among the Servants, but the rest of the Servants in this Holy Grail War had various unique abilities and treasures.
He was eager to get all of them.
However, before that, he was going to summon his Servant.
Yet, unlike others, there were differences in how he summoned his Servant, and he was anticipating what kind of Servant he would summon.
