  After receiving the memory from the clone that was destroyed by Jack the Ripper, Kaito had many questions in his mind.

  No wonder the assassin isn't on the Gate, because someone else has summoned it. But why is Jack the Ripper here? Shouldn't he be in the Holy Grail War in Romania? And how could his clone not detect his presence?

  The only reasonable expnation is that if the assassin's master used a command spell to increase the assassin's stealth ability, then Kaito believed he wouldn't be able to detect him.

  And this raises the most important question: Who is the assassin's master?

  Well, things were getting more dire-- and Kaito knew he didn't have time to py around. While Jack the Ripper wasn't a particurly powerful servant, his presence put Saber in a difficult position there and Kaito knew he had to get there as soon as possible to help her!

  Fortunately, thanks to the chat group system, which made him aware that Imagine Bre

  aker can be used in various ways, he also used it to get out of this situation. Before, he already learned how to crack a space during his fight with Kaguya, imbued the Imagine Breaker effect to any of his ability and naturally, he also realized it could be used to neutralize any supernatural effect on his body-- and it worked.

  Without the system, he would never have known about this application. He realized that the Imagine Breaker he got from the system was different from what Kamijou Touma had, and he felt this ability growing with him.

  ...

  Realizing his body felt much better, Kaito tried to sit up and said, "Thank you very much, Ilya-chan."

  "Big brother, are you okay?" Ilya asked with concern.

  "Yeah, I will finish them real quick."

  After saying that, with an order from his mind, one Gate of Babylon portal opened behind him. After that, Kaito unched Est, who had been stored inside the Gate of Babylon, towards the magic circle formation where the Miasma that was bothering them came from.

  *Swoosh*

  ...!!!

  This surprised Caster and Lancer who were handling Berserker, but they were too te to react and prevent Kaito's surprise attack.

  "What?" (Caster)

  "Oh?" (Lancer)

  The moment Est (in sword form) stabbed the magic formation, it instantly disappeared, along with the Miasma restricting Kaito's and Ilya's movements.

  This is because, in addition to being a holy sword, Est also has anti-magic attributes-- which are perfectly capable of canceling any form of magic.

  "Good job, Est!"

  ...

  Feeling free from the Miasma, Kaito quickly stood up, stretching his muscles. Although the effects of the attack were still there, Kaito could now move freely without any problems.

  "Now, Caster, I will give you a st chance. I don't have much time but are you willing to surrender?"

  Kaito, who still hopes that Medea will give up, gives her one st chance to surrender. Kaito wants to work with her after this to save Sakura, and they should be on good terms.

  Unfortunately, Medea, who thinks she still has the upper hand, rejects Kaito's offer.

  Caster's confidence came from remembering that they had already killed Berserker more than 7 times, and Kaito must still be affected by the miasma trap just now. Besides, her minions were still filling Ryuudou's temple, and with a safe distance, she had many ways to defeat Kaito.

  Normally, Caster's assumption was correct but unfortunately, Kaito was no ordinary servant and she was about to learn how naive her thinking was.

  ...

  "As I said I don't want to make a deal with a devil." Caster refused his offer again with a firm tone and then distanced herself from Lancer, "I will take care of this devil real quick while you hold Berserker for a while, Lancer."

  "Sure, the deal is there." (Lancer)

  Hearing Caster's request, Lancer drew Berserker's attention away from Caster by stabbing his body repeatedly and even occasionally heading towards Ilya.

  *Stab* *Stab*

  ...!!

  "Berserker!" (Ilya)

  "Grrr!!" (Berserker)

  Although at this point Lancer's attacks did not affect Berserker, Berserker knew that if he let it be, his master would be exposed to danger by Lancer and he swore to stop all danger to his master.

  Meanwhile, seeing Caster's actions, Kaito felt disappointed and said, "...Well, I guess I have no choice but to force you to work for me, Caster."

  "You can try, devil."

  "Don't worry, this fight won't be even a proper fight. I don't even have much time to waste on you and I promise I will show you how wrong your decision was."

  A lot of bad situations in this holy grail war happened multiple times at this point, and he admits-- the mastermind has cornered him and successfully made him feel angry.

  So, Kaito decides to go all out, even if it means he has to use all his trump cards!

  After stretching his muscles and feeling great, Kaito then headed toward Caster, intending to defeat her quickly while Berserker engaged with Lancer. (holding on)

  Naturally, seeing Kaito come at her, Caster reacted immediately by raising her right hand and ordering dozens of minions 'Dragon tooth warriors' that filled the Temple to charge toward Kaito. This created a loud, foot-stomping noise as the group of monsters ran towards Kaito... and made the temple shake.

  In addition, Caster also uses her signature move, Rain of Light-- a volley of rapidly fired beams of light that is powerful enough to destroy servants if hit directly.

  Not stopping there, Caster also used a spell to lock Kaito in pce by altering the pressure atmosphere to anchor the region of space-- ensuring to stop Kaito's movement so that he could not escape from her attack.

  For other servants, this combination of attacks would make them feel in danger, but not for Kaito-- who finally taking things seriously.

  ...!!

  "I told you--" (Kaito)

  Feeling confined in pce a little bit, Kaito grinned and teleported straight to Caster's face-- surprising her and making all her previous attacks go to waste.

  ...!!

  "How--" (Caster)

  "--Time out, Caster." (Kaito)

  Caster, who didn't know that Kaito could teleport, obviously couldn't anticipate his movements, making her face Kaito directly. This made her panic, trying to escape with spatial movement as well to create distance, because Caster knew she wouldn't stand a chance in close combat!

  Unfortunately, Kaito's act was much faster than Caster do in terms of agility and distance-- so before she could do that, Kaito had already reached her neck with his right hand, effectively strangling her.

  "Aaagh!"

  ...!!

  After that, Kaito immediately activated Imagine Breaker and empowered it using his energy, making her unable to do any kind of magic at all, disconnected her temporarily from the Fuyuki temple leyline, and even canceled all the spells and minions that filled this Ryuudou temple.

  Seeing what happened to Caster's summoned creature and feeling a threat coming from Kaito, everyone stopped fighting and looked at Kaito who was strangling Caster.

  Even Berserker stopped and became rational out of fear for a second-- grateful that his master was allied with Kaito because he also felt something that could kill all his lives in an instant if he wanted to

  ...

  "I told you I don't have time to py, Caster." Kaito tightened his grip and threatened, "Surrender, or I'll destroy you here!"

  *Cough* "Y-Your right hand? W-Why I can't move?!"

  Medea panicked and became confused, unable to activate any magic and intense pain on her neck. She had never felt this weak before in her life, to the point of reminding her when she was an infant who couldn't even feel mana in the air.

  "Shut up! Answer my question or I will kill you." Kaito who getting impatient added, "And then kill your master Souichiro Kuzuki afterward!"

  ...!!

  Hearing the threat from Kaito who even knew her master's identity, Caster immediately decided to surrender in a hoarse voice, "A-Alright... I surrender! S-Spare my master!"

  "Very good. Then, I will spare your life, Medea."

  "T-Thank you..."

  Although Caster doesn't care if she gets killed here, she can't let the master she loves get hurt because of her actions.

  "However, considering what you did earlier, I need to punish you a little bit."

  After saying that, Kaito then strengthened the effects of Imagine Breaker on her, to the point where her stature started to become transparent. Caster also felt very intense pain, because logically, Imagine Breaker is a weapon to erase the supernatural, and the heroic spirit existence itself is 'supernatural'... and that's why all of them feel threatened by him.

  If he wanted, Kaito could erase all the servants with his right hand given a chance.

  "Aaaaahh!!

  ...!!!

  After a while, Kaito managed to put Caster in a dying position (but not kill him), and then threw Caster's body towards Ilya, (who also felt a threat from Kaito so she felt a little bit afraid).

  *Crash*

  ...!!

  Ilya who understood Kaito's wishes nodded and swiftly dragged Caster's body close to him... because Ilya guessed that Kaito probably going to defeat Lancer too after this.

  And sure enough, her guess was correct... Because Kaito indeed wants to kill Lancer real quick now, using one of his trump cards as Kaito is aware the longer he is stuck on here, the more likely Rin and Shirou will be in a dangerous situation.
