30 Klein: I'm not a Death Seeker

Kirei looks at the sudden intruder, "The nun from Caster's side?"

Using Theresa's sudden interference, Kiritsugu, who is hiding in the dark, and Maiya both retreat, leaving Theresa and Kirei alone.

"I had hoped Emiya Kiritsugu could have given me the answers I seek. But now the one who could draw him out has escaped," Kirei says.

"Kotomine Kirei, the Master of Assassin, right?" Theresa asks.

"Former Master," Kirei responds.

"Hmph, I know Assassin is still alive. You don't need to keep lying. That Kiritsugu and his assistant should know as well," Theresa scoffs.

"If that's the case, then you'll need to take the secret to the grave. Assassin," Kirei calls out as he raises his black keys.

Responding to his order, several of Assassin's bodies appear and target Theresa alongside Kirei.

"Judah!" Theresa yells.

Responding to her call, the Oath of Judah in its smaller form returns to its usual form and stands tall behind Theresa. Its sides open and expands out revealing several spears that get launched towards Kirei and various bodies of Assassin.

One of Assassin's bodies is pierced in a vital area and is killed but most of the bodies avoid spears or receive only minor injuries, Kirei being with the former group. Recalling the spears, Theresa picks up Judah and begins clubbing the bodies of Assassin that are closest to her.

"I never thought of using a cross like this before," Kire mutters.

Meanwhile, in the chat group, Huang Luan and Satsuki are watching from afar while the latter is streaming Theresa's fight.

Advocate of Gender Equality: "Rember guys, it's not Theresa who equips Judah, it's Judah who equips Theresa."

Lightning Archpriestess: "Are you not afraid of getting beat up by her later for saying that? Theresa's strength is obviously not weak. Your bones might not be able to take it."

Advocate of Gender Equality: "Sometimes I forget this isn't an online forum and the people here aren't gamers I'm used to speaking with."

Black Star: "Ignoring the identities of the people in the Chat Group and the special functions, on many occasions, this place does greatly resemble regular internet chat rooms."

Witch of the Void: "Are we really going to ignore that Huang Luan threw Theresa over there? Was there really no other way to get her there?"

Advocate of Gender Equality: "There were probably many ways to intervene. And there really isn't much point to intervening since no one was gonna die there anyway, but let's be real here. It was pretty funny watching Theresa get thrown by someone even smaller than her."

Konakona: "I'm sure you don't mean it, but Kazuma, you're tendency to seek death is definitely a step higher than Klein's."

Mr Fool: "But I don't purposely look to die, things just happen to kill me a lot."

Black Star: "Well, you can say that now. But you definitely can't say that in the future."

Mr Fool: "I, hereby swear, that I will not purposely kill myself, lest I swallow shit!"

Konakona: "lol k."

Black Star: "I'm going to hold you to that."

Retired Loli Sovereign: "Same."

Mr Fool: "I'm sure you're saying that because I did something in the original book. But my future trajectory has changed since obtaining the Chat Group. I won't let such I future repeat itself. I won't become a death seeker!"

Sacchin: "Pay attention. It looks like Theresa's fight is over."

The dust in the air settles. The ground has been shattered in many places, and the pillars supporting the building look as if they'll crumble at any moment. Theresa had killed several of Assassin's bodies, although Kirei had escaped in the chaos. But Neither Kirei nor Theresa is without injury, but with Theresa's physique, it won't take more than a day for her to recover.

Teriri: "Lulu get out here! I won't be satisfied until I beat your head with my Judah!"

Konakona: "I think she's mad."

Witch of the Void: "You don't say."

Retired Loli Sovereign: "I fail to see a problem."

Teriri: "Do I need to spell it out for you! If I really needed to be over here, I could have ridden Judah, there's no need to throw me! And in the first place, I didn't need to be here!"

Retired Loli Sovereign: "But it was funny. You should have seen the look on your face when I threw you, it was hilarious."

Teriri: "I'm going to beat you once I get back!"

Retired Loli Sovereign: "Yeah, ok. So, Imma go and deal with all this debris floating around, I've got an idea."

"What are you going to do?" Satsuki asks.

"Nothing special. Just a miny recreation of my Nation of Disorder." Huang Luan says.

Black Star: "I was under the impression you didn't have your corresponding Sefirah."

"I don't. That's why I need Klein to hurry up and advance. Once he is an Above the Sequence it, along with the other Sefirot sealed by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth, can be released. What I'm referring to is something I created using the name of the Sefirah. After I faked my death, I separated a continent and brought it into the sky then isolated the space around it from the rest of the world, this is where the legend of Atlantis originates in my world. Originally, there were humans on my floating continent, but they were annoying so I gathered them all up in one spot and let that area fall to the Earth, it landed in the sea and eventually sank to the ocean floor. Now the only things that populate my island are species that have long been extinct around the rest of the Earth as well as some automatons I put together," Huang Luan explains.

Lightning Archpriestess: "I feel like a large part of that is filler and completely unnecessary. But basically, you're gonna turn the remains of the hotel into a floating island?"

"Pretty much," Huang Luan shrugs as she gets to work.

"How does that even work?" Theresa asks as she arrives while riding atop Judah.

"Isolated distortion of the law of universal gravitation. This kind of thing is what I literally live for."

Advocate of Gender Equality: "What happened to beating her?"

Teriri: "As much as I would love to, I'm not actually going to try. I'm not a death seeker like you and Klein. In what scenario do I even have a chance of beating her in a fight."

Advocate of Gender Equality: "Fair point."

Mr Fool: "How many times do I need to tell you guys, I'm not a death seeker!"

Advocate of Gender Equality: "Accept it already. Just look at me, I don't even refute it anymore. C'mon say it with me, the honourable Mr Fool is a certified member of the death seeker club."

Mr Fool: "No, I won't let myself get into a position where getting myself killed. I have the Chat Group now, I can just invite the powerhouses here to help me or even use it to strengthen myself to the point where I don't need outside assistance."

Black Star: "Hate to burst your bubble pal, but pretty much no one except maybe Huang Luan is willing to go to your world by choice. And I'm sure that unless she's getting something out of it, Huang Luan would rather watch you die and revive than help you."

Retired Loli Sovereign: "Pretty much. It's far more interesting to watch people struggle. Maybe if you couldn't revive again or if there was a change of events compared to the original book that made things too difficult, otherwise, just accept that you're gonna die."

Mr Fool: "I refuse to give up. I won't become a death seeker. Just watch, I'll change my fate! On that note, does anyone have any problems for me to solve in exchange for some points?"
