"What is this?" asked Kiritsugu, taking it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"All, the true name and abilities of the Heroic Spirit, except his own. "Lodo.

"That's a good point...... "The voice sounded, and a figure floated behind Luo Fengyun, "First meeting, Wei Gongsan." ”

That figure was none other than Xuanyuan Hao.

"Are you an Avenger?" Kiritsugu looked at the figure, raising his vigilance.

"Peace of mind. The corners of Xuanyuan Hao's mouth hooked into a smile, "Actually, it's because I have something to ask you, as for the reward-"

"I will work with Saver to rescue Illyasfil von Einzberen in two days!"

"Are you serious?" asked Emiya Kiritsugu as he stood up and excitedly asked.

"Well...... If I say it's false, my conscience won't be able to get over it. Xuanyuan Hao laughed, "And, listen to me, this is Miss Alice Phil von Einzberen." ”

"Yes. Alice Phil nodded, and Luo Fengyun showed a knowing expression, "Saver, in two days, let's help Alice Phil with a heart transplant." ”

"Okay, but ......"

"Hear Me Out......"

……

"Okay, I agree!" Kiritsugu agreed to Xuanyuan Hao's proposal.

At this time......

Alice Phil's chest throbbed suddenly and violently, and she couldn't help but tense her whole body. No sooner had she mastered the enchantment of the forest than she had mastered her magic circuit, and there were repeated and strong vibrations in her magic circuit.

That's the alarm.

"-Is it already here?"

Her husband, who had whispered in her ear, calmly regained the firmness and coldness to which she had not yet accustomed.

Kiritsugu only saw his wife's expression and sensed that something was happening. Alice Phil nodded silently and left her husband's embrace. The grim face of the "magician assassin" resurfaced before her eyes.

"Luckily, it arrived before Maiya's departure. Now we can face the head-on - Alice, get ready for a crystal ball that can look out into the distance. ”

"Okay. ”

Things happened much faster than expected. A whirlwind of battle began to blow in the forest.

——————————————————————

"There were. ”

The conference room was once again filled with all the main players of the Ainsberen faction - Kiritsugu, Maiya, Saber, Saver, and their new ally, Xuanyuan Hao.

In front of the five of them, Alice Fell displayed the image of the intruder captured by the barrier on the crystal ball.

The intruder was dressed in pitch-black robes, and an ominous aura swayed from his clothes. There are also red patterns on the clothes, as if they were stained with blood, looming in the jungle.

"Is this the caster?"

For the first time, Kiritsugu saw Caster, and Alice Fell nodded at him. The figure reflected in the crystal ball is the strange heroic spirit that stopped Saber last night.

"But what is he going to do?"

To Alice Phil's confusion, Caster was also leading a group of people behind him.

Caster didn't go it alone this time. There were about a dozen people behind him. Stride through the forest. These people are all underage children. The oldest of them is just an elementary school student.

"Gil de Ray, this guy has been handed over to me, and my revenge is against the people and the Bloodlines who have legends about the Bloodline. Xuanyuan Hao nodded, "I need help." ”

It must have been Caster who saw the Overseer's notice, who had taken the children hostage from near Fuyuki City.

"Then please and Saber. Alice, where's that guy's place?"

"Northwest of the castle, less than two kilometers away. Caster didn't seem to mean to go further into the forest. ”

The enchantment that opens in the forest is a circle with a diameter of five kilometers centered on the castle. The location of the caster is the border of this enchantment.

If Caster goes a step further into the enchantment, Alice Phil can assist Saber in the battle. However, as if he had seen through Alice's motives, Caster began to wander around the periphery of the barrier.

"Alice Fell, the enemy is luring us out. ”

Saber said in a firm tone, "With her Servant legs, it would only take a few minutes to get to where Caster was." Saber's thoughts reached Alice Phil.

"It's a hostage...... bar. Definitely. ”

Alice Fell whispered melancholy. Saber nodded.

"Leave it to me, the Blood Clan is my burial target!" Xuanyuan Hao's voice was low, and his figure disappeared in place.

"If you activate the traps and traps you have set, it will affect those children. Luo Fengyun frowned and said.

The current situation is self-explanatory, but Alice Fell also has reasons for hesitation. Saber's injuries were very bad, and the confrontation with Caster was somewhat reassuring. Alice Phil intuitively judged that Caster was a difficult enemy.

At this moment, Caster's beast-like eyes suddenly looked upward. Could it be that he has already seen through Alice Phil's "clairvoyance"!?

Caster stared in the direction where Alice Phil was, and raised his arms to make a gesture towards Alice Phil with great courtesy. What a child's play for a magician.

"As I agreed last night, I have come to visit you. ”

The hard surface of the crystal ball began to shake, and the sound came from the surveillance location.

"Now I beg you to give the order, let me see that beautiful saint again. ”

Saber stared at Alice Phil, urging her to give the order quickly. As a servant, the maiden is ready for battle. And there's a guy who's gone to meet the kids.

As if reading Alice Field's thoughts, Caster showed a look of contempt, as if in a one-man show, and sneered and continued:

“…… Ah, I still can't make up my mind. I'm ready to wait a long time, so take your time. Heck, what a boring game - can I borrow a piece of your territory?"

Caster snapped his fingers. The children, who had been following Caster obediently all along, opened their eyes as if they had woken up from a dream. The children looked around helplessly, as if unable to figure out where they were.

"Listening to the kids, we started playing hide and seek. The rules are simple. Just run away from me. If you're caught by me—"

Caster swooped out from the sleeve of his robe, grabbing a child beside him

"Stop!"

Saber knew that his stop would have no effect, but he couldn't help but scream.

"Hey, Caster, that's not a good thing to do. The red spear severed Caster's arm, and the golden eyes sent a flash of lightning in the night sky—

"That's ......"

“zone……”

"Yo yo caster, how weak you can't help the wind!" Xuanyuan Hao's golden eyes flashed with bursts of electricity, and the red spear waved the caster directly away!

Inside the castle, Alice Fell also gave the order, "Saber, bring down Caster for me." ”

"Yes. ”

Saber's answer was unusually brief. By the time Alice Phil heard Saber's answer, she had disappeared from the conference room. It's just that the gust of wind that blew behind her was filled with unusual anger.

Saber sped through the jungle in a gust of wind.

Saber now has no time to worry about the dispute with Kiritsu. Once on the battlefield, her heart becomes a sword. A sharp, shiny sword. It was a sword without the slightest confusion.

Saber knew she was in the middle of a magic spell for Caster. Her blood was rolling, and Saber was furious at the demon's misdeeds.

The children who were killed. These sights are by no means unseen. As long as you are on the battlefield, no matter how unbearable you are, you will still see those young bones. This is a common situation for her, who used to be King Arthur.

"You're finally here. Joan of Arc. I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Caster greeted the silvery figure with a hearty smile.

Then he got a long scar on his body from the spear!

"Ahh

Saber had nothing to say and no heart to listen to Caster's tirade. She wanted to split Caster in two with a single sword, but without a moment's hesitation, she took a step towards Caster.

Caster also sensed the killing intent from Saber's moving footsteps, stopped talking, and suddenly threw his hands out from the corners of his robe.

What had been hidden in Caster's arms once again made Saber and Xuanyuan Hao stop moving forward.

It was a child—the only hostage that survived. Caught in his forearm by Caster, still crying quietly. Caster is a living mouth left to use him as a shield to fight Saber, right?

"—Oh Joan of Arc, your eyes are so burning with rage. ”

Caster smiled at Saber with a leisurely smile. Xuanyuan Hao on the side also stopped moving.

"Do you hate me that much? yes, you should hate me. I have rebelled against God's loving heart, and you will never forgive me. You are more devout to God than anyone else. ”

"Let go of that kid. ”

Saber's command caster's tone was as cold as a sword.

"This battle for the Holy Grail is to select the Heroic Spirits who are most deserving of the Holy Grail. If you use the tactic of defiling the Heroic Spirit, you will be discarded by the Holy Grail. ”

"Now that you're resurrected again, the Holy Grail is useless to me...... Joan of Arc, if you really want to save this child's life. ”

Caster couldn't help but laugh, and then, with a look of disappointment, he gently let go of his hand and placed the child on the ground.

"Don't cry, kid. You should be happy. God's devout believers have come to your rescue. The omnipotent God has finally been revealed. All your friends have not been saved by God, only you. ”

The young child seemed to understand that the blonde girl who was galloping was her savior, and she burst into tears. At the same time, he ran straight towards Saber.

The child's small hands grabbed the armor of Saber's legs. Saber gently touched the child's little hand with her fingertips. The only thing that can comfort her with a child in her arms is the surrounding mountains, and now Saber is already in a desperate situation. She could no longer prepare for battle while thinking about the safety of her children.

Xuanyuan Hao raised the spear in his hand and aimed it at Caster.

"It's dangerous here. Run. Run in this direction and you'll see a big castle where someone will save you—"

Saber was dumbfounded, and the young body in front of her burst in half. And the child's body spurted out of the body was not red blood

It was a swarm of jet-black snakes, countless snakes hovering together - no, it was covered in two cheek-sized suckers, and it was not an ordinary thing like a group of snakes. Is it a squid? Or the tentacles of a strange squid-like creature? The tentacles as thick as Saber's wrists instantly stretched out and wrapped around the silver armor, and began to bind Saber's hands and feet tightly.

The monster summoned from the other world still carries the flesh and blood of a hostage—there is more than one monster that surrounds Saber. Countless tentacles continued to stretch out from the wreckage of the hostages scattered all over the place, and dozens of monsters surrounded Saber in an instant.

These monsters are about the same size, with no limbs and no hips, which is impossible to describe in words. These numerous antennae, at their base have a ring-shaped mouth. It is like a shark's mouth, with teeth as sharp as a razor. Although the origin of these creatures is unknown, these creatures are by no means creatures of nature. It may be a creature that lives in another world that does not follow the laws of nature.

"I should have told you in advance, and the next time you see me, you'll have to be prepared. ”

Caster burst out laughing, as if celebrating his victory. As he spoke, a thick book appeared in his hand. The cover of the book was wet and shining. There was a human skin on it. To the naked eye, it was just an ordinary book, but Saber sensed it with lightning-like sensing power, and a huge amount of magic was surging around the book, spreading towards the four dramas. Without a doubt, that's Caster's treasure.

"This is the magic book that my allies left me, and with this book I have obtained the spell to command the demon forces. Isn't there any army that can match the majesty of the demon army?"

Saber did not answer. She was still tightly bound by her tentacles, and in her hands remained rotten, shattered bones that had not even been left of their original form. The monster also ate away at the hostage's flesh at the same time as it appeared, so the hostage's bones had long since lost any weight. The child was crying and grabbing the corner of her clothes, and now it has become this miserable situation.

"—that's enough. I don't want to compete with you for the Holy Grail anymore. ”

The swordsman servant Saber whispered quietly. At the same time, she released the anger that had been rolling in her chest.

The monsters began to retreat. The shock wave put more pressure on the caster's eardrum than the sound.

Bursting from the girl's thin body were screams of rage—and bursts of magic. The tentacles wrapped around Saber's whole body, but he couldn't stand it for even a second after the magic exploded, and instantly broke into tiny pieces of flesh, scattered around and disappeared. There was no trace of the slime attached to Saber's body, and the silver armor was shining again. And in the midst of the hordes of monsters, the girl stood like a god of war, staring at Caster with burning eyes.

"Caster——!" Xuanyuan Hao's eyes flashed with anger, and the electric light in his golden eyes kept jumping.

"Caster, I'm going to kill you in this war!" Xuanyuan Hao angrily raised the spear in his hand!

"I don't want anything else for this fight, and I don't want to take anything. But now...... This sword in my hand is for you to be destroyed!"

"Yo yo yo, Joan of Arc ......"

Stunned by Saber's majesty, Caster made a slight gasp. His expression was neither shaken nor frightened, but a little lost and overwhelmed.

"It's really noble and righteous...... O saint. Even the gods sigh in front of you!"

Caster's voice was overjoyed, but suddenly fell silent. Using this as a signal, the tentacles of the brittle monsters slashed towards Saber like an avalanche.

"I have defiled my love! I have fallen into the mire of love!

Wielding swords and spears and maniacal laughter unveil this life-and-death battle!
