Chapter 155
As they walked up the hill that led to the church, Noah steeled his nerve, knowing he would soon kill someone for the first time. Despite having killed thousands of monsters in the dungeons the system creates, this was the first time he would kill someone in the real world. Even though they would cause his death, it is still hard to wrap his head around it.
They soon walked past the church, which confused both Shirou and him. "I thought we were going to the church?" Noah asked, looking at the locked church as they moved past it.
"At the last moment, Kirei changed the Overseer station to the Cathedral at the top of the hill." Rin explained, pointing at the grand Cathedral sitting at the top of the hill. "I guess that is the reason the Holy Church fixed it."
For some reason, Noah's instinct told him not to go there. It was as if an invisible force was holding his hand and trying to pull him away. 'That place is dangerous--'
"Noah, are you coming?" Shirou asked, looking at Noah, who stopped walking.
"Y-yeah. I am coming." Noah said, walking forward. The hand pulling him let go, allowing him to move forward. Feeling unsafe, he reached out and held Raikou's hand. He looked to the side, seeing Raikou smiling down at him in her physical form. 'Yeah. There is no need to be scared. I have Raikou, Saber, Archer, Rin, and Shirou on my side.'
They reached the gate, which was a tall golden gate, with an angel standing on each side. It opened up for them, inviting them in. Rin thought nothing of it and walked in, with Saber deciding to stay outside and keep watch. But once Noah stepped through the gate, a system message popped up.
[You have entered a dungeon]

[Note: Run. No, wait. You can't run. It would be better to kill yourself. Haha, dumbass. When your instinct told you to run, you should have]
[Luck -10] [Current Luck: 39]
Noah froze, staring at the blood-red screen that appeared before him. His body became drenched in sweat as his legs almost gave up on him. Quickly catching himself, he gave a fake smile to Raikou, who looked at him with worried eyes.
"I am just tired." He lied, quickly picking himself up. Noah walked forward, knowing he couldn't turn around. He unknowingly squeezed Raikou's hand, his arm slightly trembling. 'I am...fucked...'
Raikou didn't know what was wrong with her child, but she was sure to protect him with all she had. Whatever he is scared of, if she finds them, she will make them suffer for making her child this scared. She gave a sadistic smile just thinking of what she would do to the person.
Rin pushed open the door, entering the grand Cathedral, soft, calm music entering their ears. It calmed them down, all the worries leaving their mind. The fear in Noah's heart disappeared, replaced by calmness and peace of mind. Shirou calmed, feeling like he was back in with Kiritsugu. Sitting on the back porch as they spoke about heroes.
The choir of the Cathedral played this calming music. The conductor was a beautiful girl with long white hair that reached her lower back, a curvy body, and peach lips. She wore an all-black high-necked jacket with matching pants and dark dress boots and the same blindfold that covered Impulse's eyes. She looked like a female replica of the False God, Impulse, or female Satoru Gojo.
Curious, he opened up her status screen.

As he read more of her stat, he could only think. How could a being like her be a mini-boss? Her skills alone is enough the wipe the floor with him and Raikou if she pleases. Noah squeezed Raikou's hand tighter, forcing himself not to shiver. The note got his reaction just right. How could a being like her be a mini-boss?
Just then, C-4 turned to him. If she didn't have the blindfold on he was sure their eyes would have met. Noah quickly turned away from her, praying she wouldn't attack. And thankfully, she didn't, going back to conducting.
"I invited you multiple times, and when you chose to visit, you brought two masters?" He heard Kirei speak in a confident tone.
Looking up, Noah saw Kirei walking towards them, giving a warm smile. But Noah's attention was towards the four beings having a drink from a golden goblet in the front of the Cathedral. It was Gilgamesh, Masaru, Impulse, and an older-looking version of Impulse.
He wanted to look at their stats but decided against it. All it will do is discourage him further, and Raikou might attack. She seems like she is about to go on a rampage and destroy everything around him. It may not show in her face, but he can feel it due to their connection. Even if she goes on a rampage, only C-4 would be needed to make sure none of them survives.
"These two are new masters. They don't know anything about the war?" Rin said, putting one hand on her hip and gesturing with the other to Noah and Shirou.
"Two masters?" Kirei muttered, turning to the three of them with his eyes lingering on Raikou for longer. "Well, this is one special Holy Grail War. Instead of seven servants, it is ten. It seems like Impulse was right."
'He knew I was going to summon a servant!!! I forgot they were reincarnators and not just some random boss.' Noah thought, turning to Impulse, who was laughing away, almost spilling his wine, with his older version covering his face as if he was embarrassed. Noah just wanted to turn around and run away. He came to kill Kirei, and now, he doesn't even want to be a mile close to Kirei. 'Raikou. Please... calm down...' He thought, looking up at Raikou. 'Please...' He doesn't want to die.
Seeing his worried eyes, she pushed down her rage, smiling down at him.
"Ten masters!?" Rin shouted, turning to Kirei. "How!?"
"It seems like the Grail knew this would be the last war, so it brought more people into the game." Kirei replied, the smile still on his face. "So, I will ask you two. Do you wish to fight in the war?"
"Yes." Noah spoke, trying to sound as confident as he could but his voice still cracked. Noticing it, he said, "I have a wish I want to be granted, but I am not to knee on killing."
Kirei nodded, looking to Shirou, who responded, "I don't know..."
"Well, I will explain to these two, the new rules. Why don't you go to that door," Kirei said, pointing at a door. "There, you will speak to someone, and if you choose to withdraw, your command spell will be removed, and you will be exempt from the war." Shirou nodded and walked towards the door while Kirei turned back to the two. "Only seven servants are needed for the grail, so three of the servants won't need to die. I suggest you form a team of three, where you would easily sweep the entire war. With a Saber, an Archer, and a Berserker, your team would be unstoppable."
"She is a Berserker?" Rin asked, turning to Raikou, who smiled and waved. She then used her master's Perspective to see her stat, shocked at the EX Mad Enhancement. She clinched and released her fist, saying, "How is it that these two were able to summon two powerful servants. Seriously."

Following Shirou
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shirou walked into the room, noticing it was a Japanese-style room, with a woman standing across from the room, facing him. That person wore a black nun attire, with a classical white habit covering her head and hair and a large gold necklace wrapped around it that rested on her breast. Apart from that, the only thing that differentiated her from normal nuns was a slit up the left side exposing her leg. There was a peaceful expression on her face as she looked at him.
She looked like a saint, an innocent woman with a beautiful demeanor and an angelic smile.
She walked up to him, giving him a warm hug. "Tell me your problem, Shirou." She said in a tender voice.
Shirou didn't care to think about how this woman knew his name. Now, he felt loved. All he wanted to do is tell this woman everything, all his secrets. "I swore so as a child to fulfill the dream of the man I admired most… But to be honest, I'm still wondering if my idea is the right one, where my idea comes from, what I can do despite being just an amateur. How to make the dream of making everybody happy, which Kiritsugu always talked about, come true." He said in a low voice. "I feel like this ideal I have is just something I copied from Kiritsugu. I... I need Your help..."
"Why not make that Ideal yours? Why don't you be a hero for me? Why not... serve me?" She said, hugging him closer as she raised his shirt and her hands touched his bareback.
Shirou's mind went blank as all worries he had washed away. Why not serve her? That wasn't a question. He will serve her till he dies. He will protect her. He will be her hero. Her love... he wanted more...
"Yes." She raised his chin with one of her hands, looking into his eyes. Heat began to build up in her body, a deep blush growing on her face, as she asked, "You will win the grail for me, right?" She asked, smiling at him.
His body went numb. The smile on her face. Her hands. She is his God. "Yes." He said, fully succumbing to her. "I will die for you."
Those words were all Kiara needed as she reached her climax. Her back arched as she bussed, her eyes squeezed shut. Ecstasy flooded her mind as Shirou's words repeated in her mind, a warm liquid flowing down her legs.
EMIYA Alter. The great hero of justice who drenched his own hands in blood, destroying her many followers ... All to defeat her. He was in her palm, dancing to every music she played. It would be one of her greatest climaxes when he self-destructs.
Falling on him, she whispered, "Go and win the war for me."
Shirou nodded, feeling the greatest pleasure to serve his Goddess. He slowly placed her on the ground as he straightened himself, walking out of the room. He is going to win this war with Saber. For her. For Kiara.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara laid on the ground, her arms between her legs. "Master needs to fall for me. This world needs salvation, and I can't grant it in this form." She murmured to herself, tracing the split between her legs.
In her beast form, she was sure her Master would already fall for her. After all, he has felt pleasure once. Any sentient being, especially those who have felt pleasure, would fall for her. But in her alter ego form, she can't do that. She needs him to fall for her charm. But after looking at his true self, she saw the only thing that would be able to bring him pleasure at this point was when he was arm's length from Immortality.
"Ahh~ Master~ What do I have to do for you to fall for me?" She thought, clenching her eyes shut as she Imagined Impulse on her palm, fallen and begging her for love. Biting her lower lips, he muttered, "You will fall, Master. And it will be soon."
