Danik's Perspective
The situation had deteriorated.
We were being pushed back by a relatively overwhelming combat force.
Clearly, we should have ample magical energy, but we were composed of those with terribly unfavorable matchups.
Afterwards, two more betrayed (surrendered), and as a result, we faced defeat.
"This cannot be. If this continues…, I have no choice."
He had already used one Command Spell, but there was no help for it.
"Lancer, can you not use that Noble Phantasm?"
"I will not use that Noble Phantasm. No matter what happens."
"I see……."
He didn't want to argue in this situation, and arguing would only make his mouth tired, so Danik reached a conclusion.
"I command with a Command Spell! Heroic Spirit Vlad Țepeș! Activate your Noble Phantasm, 『Legend of Dracula Lineage Inheritance』!!"
"Danik!!!!!!! You bastard!!!! Gah!? We are not some vampire!!!!"
"You are a vampire, the vampire Dracula!!! And I command with a second Command Spell!"
Vlad III, who was transforming into a vampire, pierced Danik's chest with his spear.
"Things will not go as you think!"
Danik spat blood and said.
"Cough, I command with my final Command Spell! Imprint my existence onto that soul, and win the Holy Grail War!"
The effect would be halved, but it was an unavoidable situation.
Then, due to Danik's Command Spell, Lancer could not resist, drank Danik's blood, and Danik's body turned to ash and vanished.
"Gwaaaaaaaah!!!! Kheuheuk, fine…. With this, I can win. I will definitely win!! Hahahahahaha! Stop, stop…. We are not a vampire…. Shut up! You are the vampire Dracula. Hahaha, is this a Servant's body? With this, I can definitely win!"
Thus, the Master imprinted his soul onto the Servant's body, and the calamity began.
First, to secure a magical energy supply, he sucked the blood of the homunculi stationed there, turning them into vampires.
He now planned to turn this entire area into vampires to counter the Servants and incarnated Servants.
"The Greater Grail is mine! I will definitely protect it and revive our clan!"
Danik's mental state was already half-shattered from the process of being betrayed by his own clan, but the process of reviving his family was left to madness.
Thus, the Black Saber, Black Caster, and Black Rider realized the situation was turning strange and withdrew from the mansion.
===============
And as Servants and Masters emerged from inside the mansion, vampires also came out, and one could see the vampires burning from Emiya's silver arrows.
"It's an advantageous location…. Vampires. Can you use Gawain's Noble Phantasm?"
"Yes, it's possible, but the output will be considerably low, I believe."
"That can't be helped. But it will be effective against mosquitoes."
"I see…. So the output doesn't matter?"
I nodded and said.
"Can you summon the sun and maintain it for a few seconds?"
Gawain seemed to ponder.
"About 3 minutes seems possible. Any more than that…"
"Understood. That should be enough."
『All units, if you lack weapons effective against vampires, fall back. Those who are Heroic Spirits with a means to counter them, answer immediately.』
『Got it. When would be a good time to engage?』
This voice was Emiya's.
Emiya might have Noble Phantasms or silver weapons created through Projection Magecraft that could kill vampires, but it was also possible to counter vampires with Projection Magecraft.
『Let's deal with the ones that came out first. If those things get active outside, that's also a problem.』
『That's true.』
Then, the vampires outside were shown burning from Emiya's sniping.
"『Sword of Rotating Victory』Excalibur Galatine"
And from Gawain's holy sword, solar rays were created, forming an artificial sun.
The vampires began to burn from the solar rays, and the vampires that had come outside the residence began to burn to death from the solar rays.
『Emiya, can you come here? I'd like you to supply the Servants with silver weapons using Projection Magecraft.』
『Understood, thanks to the solar rays, the vampires can't come out.』
『Heh? Vampires…. I'm on my way to the Master now? Can you wait a minute?』
『Vampires, is it. I think I'll arrive soon too. Gawain's Noble Phantasm is noticeable, so it's easy to find.』
Then, one could see a Servant landing from the sky and a sleeping boy.
"Hey, hey, you know? My Master became a vampire, so I had no choice but to come out alone? Won't you form a contract with me?"
"I ask. Your body by my side, my fate by your sword. Guided by the Holy Grail, if you follow this will, this reason, answer. Follow me and answer my call. That fate, will you pledge it to me!"
"Rider Astolfo! I'll accept your oath~☆"
Thus, the contract succeeded.
And the Saber Master also shouted as he approached my side.
"Danik's gone mad, I never thought he'd become a vampire!!! I surrender, so protect me! No, the Mage's Association is also an enemy!! Even if I live, I wonder if I can survive…."
"……."
This person seemed to have a flustered air in the chaotic situation, but I roughly understood.
"I've arrived. Master, I'll supply the silver weapons."
As Emiya arrived, he projected silver weapons and supplied them to the Servants.
"To think the day would come when I'd wield an ordinary weapon…. I should be immortal."
Achilles looked at the weapon with a displeased expression, but as he spoke with a bitter smile, Chiron suddenly appeared and said.
"Achilles, you are mistaken. You will never be wounded by attacks from those who do not possess divine power, but inflicting wounds is not the only means to defeat you.
Precisely because you possess that power, that trait is all the more dangerous.
Achilles's mother, the goddess Thetis, tried to burn him, a newborn baby, in divine fire to evaporate his human blood and make him a complete god. But due to Peleus's intervention, that act was stopped. However, his body became immortal except for his heel, but that trait has two weaknesses.
One of them is that it does not apply to actions showing camaraderie."
"Ha, to think Teacher was here…. This is surprising. Is that so…. So even if I'm immortal, if I turn into a vampire, it would be a calamity."
"Yes, that's right. And Achilles. Should I say it's been a while?"
"That aside, Teacher, do you have a way to deal with this?"
"In the current situation, aside from sniping with silver arrows, there isn't any. However, if all Servants are armed with silver weapons and fight, I believe there will be no problem exterminating the vampires. Vampires are that powerful, but conversely, their weaknesses are clear, so if you only know their weaknesses, they can be dealt with easily."
"Master, in 30 seconds, the solar rays will be released."
At Gawain's words, the Servants armed themselves with silver weapons.
"I have no choice. All I can do is throw this silver spear at the vampires…. Even with an immortal body, if I get bitten by a vampire and become one, I'd be disqualified as a hero."
"I have no choice. I will cooperate as well. Master. I will question you later about sending even a child to the battlefield."
Achilles looked at Benienma, shook his head while giving a look that said, 'Big sis…. Isn't that not a child but a Servant who just looks like a child….'
"Ehe~ Hey, can you make about 20 silver javelins for me?"
"Understood."
Emiya created hundreds of javelins made of silver.
They would be Noble Phantasms, but weapons made of silver were ordinary weapons, so even if they consumed a lot of magical energy, it was nothing compared to a Noble Phantasm.
"I will also help exterminate the vampires. If those things get out, it would be a serious matter threatening humanity."
"I'll sit this one out! Somehow I don't think I'll be of help, but I feel bad just standing still, so I'll be in charge of silver weapon supply!"
"Then, can I just throw weapons to my heart's content and deal with the vampire guys?"
Thus, as most were armed with silver weapons, and as Gawain's Noble Phantasm ended, everyone charged toward the mansion.
The vampires were instantly pierced by Achilles's javelins and began to burn with blue flames, dying. They were also hit by Chiron's, Atalanta's, and Emiya's silver arrows, turning to ash and vanishing.
Meanwhile, Hector used a hit-and-run style, throwing javelins, and the vampires fell. Astolfo used his griffin to supply the silver weapons from Emiya's Projection Magecraft.
Tamamo created a barrier with talisman magecraft, completely blocking the exits so the vampires couldn't get out.
It was precisely because they pushed too hard that Lancer and Lancer's Master had entered a dead end themselves.
Vampires were certainly powerful beings.
But their weaknesses were also too clear, which is why they had to lose like this.
"Ruler, Jeanne d'Arc, entering the fray…. What on earth is going on here!?"
"Fou? (What's…. The situation is almost over?)"
"I'm here! Finding the Ruler was really hard!"
And it was two people and one beast who arrived late.
"Aren't you all too late?"
The Ruler arrived, but later than us.
"My Revelation was all blocked…. It wasn't easy to find."
Ah…, that's my fault?
Considering I even blocked Clairvoyance of the future, there was no rule saying I couldn't block Revelation.
"Fou!"
"Fou is here too…. It's been a while since I've seen you."
"Fou…."
Fou's gaze was sorrowful, as if to say he missed seeing me.
"But you're too late."
Fou stiffened and turned to stone.
"You were gone for so long that your presence became faint. I'm sorry…."
"Fou…."
And Fou shed a single tear before heading back to the battlefield.
