Cao Cao suddenly heard the sound of cracking glass, and then the view in front of him was broken, and then he saw Georg being strangled by Shirou's right hand, to the point where Shirou was lifting Georg's body with only his right hand while strangling him at the same time.While Azazel is already destroying the magic circles and freeing Yasaka from the chain that binds her.
"Wha-what is happening here!?" Cao Cao looks very confused right now because he was sure before that his plan could be considered successful, and then suddenly Shirou told him that all this time he was under an illusion and the thing he had seen was not real. "Why did the ritual fail? And don't tell me that all this time I was put under an illusion! How's that possible? The True Longinus is supposed to protect me from any negative status! And when did you put me under the illusion?"
"From the start, when our eyes met, you were already under my illusion, you know," Shirou said while throwing Georg's body to the ground. "And even though True Longinus can protect you from any negative status because of the divine power, There is no way you can negate the power of my illusion eyes, which came from a higher dimension. And if I want, I can kill you using my illusion eyes, you know, but sadly, killing you using my illusion eyes is just a waste. So I'm only using my illusion eyes to make you believe that your mission is successful."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"The horde of the Ultimate Class monster that was made by that little boy Leonardo was a troublesome thing to faces, but Emiya, kill all of them in one fell swoop right when you are still under his illusion," Azazel said with an evil smile on his face. "You maybe are the user of True Longinus, and you have two upper-tier Longinus users as your subordinates, but sadly, in front of a high human who has the prototype of all Sacred Gear as his weapon, your effort was useless."
Cao Cao knew that his plan had already failed, and right now he only has a little energy left to escape with Georg using his Sacred Gears. But he knew that his chance to escape was also almost nonexistent because he knew that Shirou, with his speed, could catch him in an instant. And right when Cao Cao was trying to make a plan to escape, suddenly Ophis appeared beside him, and her appearance made Cao Cao have a cold sweat drop from his body and make him feel really afraid.
"Cao Cao, it looks like your great plan has already failed," Ophis said, with a cold and terrifying voice coming out of her mouth. "Even though you already promised me to summon the Great Red to this dimension. "I must punish you and all of your subordinates because of this failure."
After saying that, Ophis snapped her finger, and then a black hole appeared in the ground where Cao Cao was standing.
"Wait, Ophis-Sama, I'm still having a backup plan."
A black tendril appeared from the black hole, and those black tendrils caught Cao Cao's body and pulled him inside the black hole. He didn't have a chance to finish his last word at all; the same thing happened to Georg, who passed out because Shirou strangled him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe sudden appearance of Ophis didn't make Azazel or Shirou feel afraid or shocked, but confused. They didn't know why the leader of the Khaos Brigade suddenly appeared in Kyoto.
"Ophis, what are you doing here? Are you here only to see the failure of your subordinate and then punish them, or do you have another agenda that you want to accomplish?" Asked Azazel.
"Punishing Cao Cao and Georg was just a simple obligation that I do as the leader of the Khaos Brigade; my main reason for coming here is to meet the user of Longinus Zero, who is also the owner of absolute silence, for whom I have been searching all this time," replied Ophis, who answered the question with an emotionless voice like she always does.
"You, the boss of the Khaos Brigade, were coming here to see me." Asked Shirou. "And what did you mean I was the owner of the absolute silence?"
"The Reality Marble inside your soul was the place of absolute silence, a place that I searched for all of my life," replied Ophis. "And I want you to open your reality marble so I can live inside it."
"How did you know that I have a reality marble, and why did you want to live inside it?" Asked Shirou who became more confused because of Ophis words. "And from all the things that I knew about my Reality Marble, that place is not that silence."
"I had a vision about your reality marble right when I saw the video of you fighting," replied Ophis. "And from that vision, I can see a desert with a lot of swords stabbed inside of it, along with giant gears that stop spinning and are floating in the sky. And the best thing about your Reality Marble is that when I took a peek inside of it, there was no sound at all! In other words, that place was really the absolute silence that we searched for all this time."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Wait a minute, Ophis isn't the place you're searching for the Dimensional Gap? That was taken from you by Great Red, and I think that's the reason why you created the Khaos Brigade—to kill Great Red and take back your birthplace," Azazel said in confusion. "Why did you suddenly change your mind? And choose Emiya Reality Marble as the place where you want to live?"
"The silence inside the Dimensional Gap cannot be compared to the absolute silence inside his Reality Marble," Ophis said. "So please, master of Longinus Zero, open up the Reality Marble so I can live inside of it forever."
"I maybe have a reality marble," Shirou said, a sweat dropping from his face. "But to activate the Reality Marble, there is a certain condition that must be fulfilled. So right now I can't open or activate the Reality Marble at all."
Shirou didn't like to lie to Ophis and Azazel, but there was no way he could tell them that he could activate the Unlimited Blade Works at any time. Because UBW was his true trump card and contained many legendary weapons, there will be a problem if he uses it right now. Even though the most important thing was that Shirou didn't want anyone to know about the existence of Zelretch, who had become a prisoner inside the UBW, Ophis looked disappointed, and rightly so, she was pouting a little. But her disappointment lasted just a moment, because in the next, she made a decision that will make Shirou's life more chaotic.
"If there is a certain condition to opening that reality marble of yours, then I will stay beside you until you meet that condition," Ophis said with a forced smile on her face while her hand was grapping Shirou's arm. Ophis decision-making Shirou was facepalming and Azazel was laughing very hard to the point his jaws were dislodged and his body was falling to the ground. And like always, Shirou can only say his favorite phrase to express his bad luck:
"Damn! My E-Rank Luck! "Why do I always have an unlucky things appear in front of me?"
