Building a Monster Nation From Zero in Another World

"Even if you still harbor doubts."

Rin said, "In the future, whenever Zouken appears, I will eradicate him."

This way, Kariya would be completely free of worries.

"Transferring Command Spells requires specific spiritual medium surgery..."

"No need for such trouble."

Rin raised his hand, and the Command Spells that originally belonged to Kariya glowed with a dazzling red light.

And when the light dissipated, Kariya's Command Spells began to disappear.

In their place, a red tattoo appeared on the back of Rin's hand, precisely the three Command Spells he had just obtained from Kariya.

"This!"

Although Kariya had been out of the magic world for a while, he still understood basic magical knowledge.

Command Spells are bound to a magus's Magic Circuits.

To strip them away, the process is no different from a general medical surgery.

But what about Rin?

In just an instant, he took his Command Spells.

Yes, took, not transferred.

This meant that Rin didn't need to waste words with him at all, he could have obtained the Command Spells from him the moment they met.

"Why?"

Kariya said, "Since you have a way to forcibly take Command Spells, why did you say so much to me?"

"That's because I'm a person who plays by the rules, of course."

Rin shook his head, offering no further explanation.

Kariya, by nature, was not bad, but his entire life was a tragedy.

A disgusting family, his childhood sweetheart married someone else, and the daughter of the person he liked was pushed into a fiery pit.

He chose to sacrifice himself to save Sakura.

But in the end, under Kirei's scheme, he was misunderstood by Aoi.

'You've never truly loved anyone, have you?'

When Aoi said these words to him, Kariya's entire life was negated.

With only three months left to live for the Holy Grail War, the woman he sacrificed everything to protect didn't even realize why he was doing it.

Rin patted Kariya's shoulder, sighing inwardly. 'Is this what they call a simp ending up with nothing?'

Kariya was actually not wrong, everything was Tokiomi's fault.

"Just think of it as me not liking tragedies."

Rin took Kariya's Command Spells, and the latter lost his chance to participate in the Holy Grail War. "Since you've already left the world of magi, don't look back."

"You don't have to worry about Sakura, I'll take good care of her."

"Of course, whenever Sakura wants to go home, I'll send her back too."

Despite being unassured words, Kariya felt Rin's sincerity.

This feeling was strange.

But Kariya just felt that the man in front of him wasn't lying.

"Shuna, please see Mr. Kariya out."

"Yes."

After learning that Sakura was fine and that she was so dependent on Rin, Kariya left.

No matter what, Sakura being with Rin was better than staying in the Matou Family.

As for Tokiomi...

That guy, how could he care about his daughter's life or death?

In his eyes, there was only magic and the Root.

With such thoughts, Kariya took one last look at the villa, then turned and left.

"Brother Rin, do you know Uncle Kariya?"

"No, this is our first meeting."

Rin smiled and stroked Sakura's head, saying, "He is not suitable to be a magus, staying away from the mysterious side is best for him."

At the last moment, Rin used mental suggestion on Kariya.

This could allow him to stay away from the troubles of the magic world and live a peaceful life.

"Alright, Big Brother won't abandon Sakura."

"Mm!"

Indeed, Sakura seemed to be asking about Kariya, but she actually wanted to know if Rin would send her back.

Now it was fine, with Rin's renewed assurance, Sakura finally felt relieved.

"Well then, Sakura, would you like to see a Heroic Spirit Summoning?"

"Heroic Spirit Summoning?"

Sakura looked at Rin curiously. As far as she knew, Rin was a Heroic Spirit, and he had even made a contract with her.

"Is Sakura going to summon another Heroic Spirit?"

"No, that would be too much of a burden for you."

Bearing one Rin was already the limit for young Sakura.

With another one, Sakura definitely wouldn't be able to bear it.

Moreover, to unleash Rin's full strength, Sakura alone was not enough.

His true target was Ryuudou Temple, where the Fuyuki City Leyline was located.

By occupying that place, Rin would be able to set up a massive magical energy absorption array, thereby giving him enough magical energy for the upcoming Holy Grail War.

Soon, the time came to the day after Rin obtained the Command Spells from Kariya.

It was night, and the bright moon hung high.

Rin held Sakura and walked up the last flight of stairs leading to Ryuudou Temple.

*Swish!*

Souei appeared in front of Rin. He knelt on one knee and reported to his master, "As per your request, everyone in the temple has been moved to a safe location."

"They fell under Shuna's sleep magic and will not awaken during the Holy Grail War."

Using a special demonic art, the people in Ryuudou Temple would be transferred.

They would fall into a deep sleep.

This sleep would not cause any harm to their bodies, and they would quickly recover as new upon waking.

"Mm, you all did very well."

Rin praised them, then opened his attribute panel.

[Itoshi Rin]

[Magical Energy Reserve: 20177 / 1000]

[Replenishment Rate: 100 / hour]

A recovery speed of 100 magical energy per hour.

And in a full 3 days, 72 hours, Rin recovered a total of 7200 magical energy.

This was why he could summon Snow Empress, Ogerpon, and others.

First, materialize the strongest units, then gradually complete the army.

"Rin-sama."

Shuna walked gracefully. "The ritual array for Heroic Spirit Summoning has been set up. You can summon at any time."

"Sakura, will you go stay with Sister Shuna for a while?"

"Mm!"

Sakura nodded obediently, and as soon as she landed, she scurried to Shuna's side, then quietly watched Rin walk towards the array inscribed in the temple courtyard.

"Heroic Spirit Summoning, interesting."

Rin sketched the array, while also thinking about his own summoning rituals.

Heroic Spirits also exist in the Cardinal World.

But the Heroic Spirits there are definitely different from those in the Type-Moon World.

Rin wanted to use this opportunity of Heroic Spirit Summoning to analyze the basic rules of the Holy Grail System, and then, with Violet's power, make it his own.
