"Can you lend a hand, leisurely traveler?"
The sudden voice from beneath the tree broke the silence.
Shirou Emiya, who had been perched above and quietly watching the scene unfold, froze for a split second. He had not expected to be discovered.
He was confident in his Presence Concealnt.
Extrely confident.
The Presence Concealnt he had acquired during the Holy Grail War had not remained stagnant. Over ti, it had continuously improved, refined through experience and necessity. Now, it had been honed to a near-transcendent level.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he remained still, no one should have been able to see through it.
That was his judgnt.
"How did you find ?"
Shirou's voice carried no panic. Only calm curiosity.
rlin, the one who had spoken, did not imdiately answer. Instead, he simply smiled.
That familiar, irritating smile.
Seeing it, Shirou imdiately understood.
"...Right. If it's you, then it's not impossible."
rlin possessed EX-rank Clairvoyance. His ability to uncover, observe, and analyze hidden information stood at the absolute pinnacle. Even though he appeared now as a Heroic Spirit without actively carrying Clairvoyance, that perception was still very real.
"I actually forgot about you."
Shirou's tone remained flat.
"That was careless of ."
He stood up from the tree branch and leapt down, landing directly in front of rlin.
"Do you need my help?"
"That's right."
rlin's smile widened slightly.
"A person full of justice like you wouldn't collude with a goddess's subordinate, would you?"
"No need to provoke ."
Shirou answered imdiately.
"I won't stand on the sa frontline as the goddess."
At the sa ti, his thoughts moved quietly.
But if the other party chose to join my side, that wouldn't be my problem.
The Three Goddess Alliance, the early enemies faced by Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others in this world, had an even more famous nickna.
The Turncoat Alliance.
For various reasons, those goddesses would eventually defect. In the end, they would stand together against Tiamat.
After making his stance clear, Shirou turned his gaze away.
He looked toward the battlefield where Ana and Mash were struggling.
"Then I'm going?"
"Please."
The mont rlin answered, Shirou's figure vanished from his sight.
So completely that it was as if he had never been there.
"Is this gentleman our helper?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been standing beside rlin since the battle began, asked cautiously.
She still did not know rlin's true identity. However, based on their earlier conversation, she had already ford so guesses. Because of that, she had developed a small degree of trust in the strange man before her.
But Shirou Emiya was different.
She knew nothing about him at all.
"It's fine. Don't worry."
rlin replied with an easy smile.
"He's on our side."
...
In the jungle, the battle was already reaching its limits.
Facing the powerful Kingu, Ana and Mash were being pushed back relentlessly.
In terms of sheer strength, the opponent was simply too strong.
They couldn't even properly hold their ground.
As the fight dragged on, Ana's gaze grew increasingly hostile.
This was nothing like what she had expected.
According to her original plan, rlin should have used illusions midway through the battle to confuse the enemy. That would have created an opening for retreat.
After all, the opponent before them was undeniably powerful.
But despite Ana desperately stalling for ti, rlin showed no sign of acting.
"Damn it..."
Her thoughts turned sharp.
"I knew that rlin guy was completely unreliable."
"rlin should die."
She cursed him again and again in her heart.
And just as the situation beca more dangerous by the second-
A crimson figure flashed past her.
It moved straight toward the 'Enkidu' standing opposite them.
"This is...?"
Unlike Ana, Mash had already prepared herself ntally.
Knowing 'Enkidu's' strength, she was fighting with a resolve bordering on death. She gripped her shield tightly and stayed close, continuously entangling him in combat.
But the difference in power was overwhelming.
Far more than she had imagined.
Mash was quickly pushed into a disadvantaged position.
And just as her situation worsened-
A crimson figure appeared in front of her.
It intercepted Kingu's fatal blow head-on.
"Yo."
The voice was calm.
"Are you alright?"
"Ah!"
Mash startled, her mind going blank for an instant.
"I-I'm fine!"
"Good to hear."
Shirou withdrew his attention from Mash.
His focus locked onto the hand Kingu had thrust forward.
He caught it.
Firmly.
"Yo."
A casual greeting followed.
"Good morning, Mr. Enkidu."
"You..."
Kingu's eyes sharpened instantly.
"Who are you?"
The mont his gaze t Shirou's, his expression changed completely.
From Shirou Emiya, Kingu felt a dangerously clear signal.
This man was a threat.
A genuine one.
Every instinct he possessed scread a warning.
"?"
Shirou answered lightly.
"I'm just a wandering hero."
"A hero?"
Kingu sneered.
"What a joke."
Feeling mocked, he struck without hesitation.
His leg shot forward in a swift kick aid directly at Shirou's head.
Shirou leaned back.
The attack missed by a narrow margin.
Effortlessly.
At the sa ti, he released Kingu's hand.
Freed from restraint, Kingu imdiately retreated, creating distance between them.
From that brief exchange alone, he understood sothing important.
In strength.
In agility.
In dexterity.
The man before him surpassed him.
"Have you been hiding nearby this entire ti?"
Kingu's eyes were filled with vigilance now.
Shirou's sudden appearance had shaken him more than he wanted to admit.
"Of course."
Shirou didn't bother to hide it.
Hearing that answer, Kingu's expression darkened further.
"Dangerous..."
This man was dangerous.
As a newly born consciousness inhabiting Enkidu's body, Kingu had inherited all of Enkidu's abilities.
That included Presence Detection.
Presence Detection was a top-tier skill.
It could sense presences through the earth from long distances. At close range, it could even nullify Presence Concealnt skills of equal rank or lower.
And the rank Kingu had inherited-
A .
Yet even with that ability, he had sensed nothing.
Nothing at all.
This ant only one thing.
Shirou Emiya's Presence Concealnt had completely surpassed A .
It had reached EX rank.
And not a weak one.
Under normal circumstances, A was stronger than most EX ranks.
Heroic Spirit paraters followed a basic incrental scale.
If E-rank represented 10.
Then D was 20.
C was 30.
B was 40.
A was 50.
EX rank was anything above 50, with no defined upper limit.
And the " " ant the value could double.
An A rank equaled 100.
A weaker EX rank often hovered around 60 or 70.
This alone showed how absurd Shirou Emiya's Presence Concealnt truly was.
To completely surpass A Presence Detection ant it stood among the highest tier of EX rank.
Facing an assassin like that-
Any powerful individual would feel dread.
And Kingu, who valued his own safety above all else, couldn't help but think further.
If this man infiltrated their lair unnoticed...
The consequences would be unthinkable.
"It seems..."
Kingu's voice lowered.
"I'll have to deal with you here."
Golden chains slowly erged from the void.
The Chains of Heaven.
They floated silently, exuding a faint killing intent.
Kingu stared directly at Shirou Emiya.
His eyes were filled with cold resolve.
Their battle was about to begin.
