Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 550: Kneel to the King’s Radiance

Kayneth’s theory was good and there was nothing to criticize.

However, reality is very harsh.

A weak combat sense is Kayneth’s shortcoming.

He is more of a scholar and leader in the Clock Tower, combat is not something Kayneth is good at.

Kayneth has not experienced many life-and-death struggles.

As a genius, his life has been too smooth, and he rarely has the opportunity to face this kind of situation.

In addition, he has never fought a Servant before.

He has no specific understanding of Servants.

All of the above reasons led to Kayneth’s misjudgment, and many small mistakes combined to form a big mistake.

He was too slow, not nearly fast enough.

At least that’s how the female Assassin saw it.

"Ugh!"

Kayneth’s heart trembled.

An unprecedented chill came over him.

It was a figure clad in black, like a shadow.

Although he could confirm that black cloth covered the person’s entire body, he could not discern their appearance.

However, he clearly felt an unusually long arm stretching out from the gap in the cloth and rushing towards him!

After the first failure.

This time, the female Assassin would not be stingy with magical energy, but would confirm a single blow to break through Volumen Hydrargyrum and kill Kayneth.

In an instant, the image of Kayneth’s heart exploding almost appeared before his eyes.

It seemed to be already present in this theater.

If he had really participated in the Snowfield Holy Grail War alone, this would probably be the end of Lord Kayneth.

But, he was not alone.

Kayneth came following in the footsteps of that great King.

"Roar—!!"

A breath as if from the Netherworld.

Blazing flames swept through the opera house like a tsunami, it was a huge demonic hound with its head split into three, leaking a poisonous aura from its sharp teeth.

It stood like a wall between the female Assassin and Kayneth.

The dim opera house became bright and hot.

"Demon, no... this is a Divine Beast!?"

Kayneth exclaimed in surprise.

He didn’t know what was happening.

He only felt that after the female Assassin broke through his external Mystic Code defense, something was triggered.

Suddenly, Kayneth seemed to remember something.

What happened before coming to the opera house—

"Your Majesty, according to the information compiled by MI5, Faldeus transported the relic to the opera house. That happens to be a ley line in Snowfield, they must want to perform a Servant summoning there."

Kayneth said, kneeling and bowing.

In front of him was Moran, gazing at Snowfield through the glass of the building, with a calm expression.

"The opera house? You want to go?"

"Please entrust me with the task of retrieving the treasure of Britain from the thieves. I will surely bring the national treasure back to your presence, betting on the reputation of the Archibald family and El-Melloi."

"...Alright, Professor Kayneth. I look forward to your Servant summoning."

Moran did not object to his idea.

However, Kayneth clearly remembered at the time that Moran seemed to have a very subtle smile on his face.

As if he was surprised that he had chosen the opera house as the location.

Not only that, Kayneth also remembered that he patted him on the shoulder before he set off.

At that time, Kayneth’s magic circuits felt a little uncomfortable.

But, he didn’t think too much about it.

The scene returned to the opera house, to the present where Kayneth and the female Assassin were facing each other.

The hellhound exuded a powerful aura.

Kayneth felt the aura of Britain from it.

"King..."

Kayneth came back to his senses in astonishment.

He understood that this was a backup plan that Moran had left for him.

Could it be that the King foresaw that something would happen to him on this trip?

That’s why he specially arranged for a Divine Beast like the hellhound to protect his life!

Even when facing Servants like Gilgamesh.

This hellhound could hold out for a while.

For a moment, Kayneth admired Moran’s brilliant strategy, being able to foresee that there would be Servants lying in ambush here.

He was very honored to be taken care of by the King in this way.

But, he was also very ashamed.

Before setting off, he vowed to bet on the family’s honor, but in the end, he still relied on the King’s power.

The King’s radiance shone on Kayneth.

While making this Lord infinitely admire, he was also ashamed of his unworthiness.

His loyalty reached a new level at this moment.

Completely surrendering to the King’s charm.

So, how could he not complete the Servant summoning here and retrieve the national treasure of Great Britain!?

He must! He had to complete it even if it meant risking his life!

He could not fail the King’s expectations!

"—Appear from the Wheel of Suppression, the guardian of the balance!"

Kayneth opened his eyes wide and shouted sternly.

Accompanied by the sound echoing through the opera house, the Servant summoning circle was like a crystal amplifying the light, pulling open the final curtain before his eyes.

The light overflowed in the form of enveloping the opera house stage.

"Ugh!"

The female Assassin jumped back in caution.

Kayneth was already doing his best just to look in the direction he thought the light source was.

A figure could be seen in the light.

The figure was—plural.

It was truly an incredible sight.

In a space where time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, several of the plural figures knelt down on the spot—

Finally, a figure with a particularly rich color appeared.

As the light gradually weakened, the plural figures had disappeared without a trace at some point, leaving only the figure with the rich color that appeared last on the scene.

It was a young, blond man clad in solemn attire. Red hair was interspersed throughout his golden locks, and although his appearance was handsome, his eyes showed a beast-like, piercing light.

Just like the female Assassin who was watching the man from a step away, one could feel the rich "death" from her.

The man who appeared from the light also contained an extraordinary "heat" that ordinary people did not have.

After carefully scanning his surroundings, the man said, "This situation is quite peculiar."

He looked at the magus’s corpse on the ground.

As well as Kayneth, who was protected by Volumen Hydrargyrum and the hellhound.

In just a few seconds, his eyes first flashed with light.

However, the man quickly suppressed it, and instead turned his gaze to the female Assassin in the audience seats.

"From your attire, and the torrent of power I’m currently sensing... could it be that you are someone related to the Old Man of the Mountain?"

The summoned man immediately understood the situation.

He knew who was the Master and who was the enemy.
