In the middle of the night, everything in the streets is quickly covered in darkness, and at night, Fuyuki City will be transformed into a battlefield for the Holy Grail War. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Illya understands that now that she is one of the official masters, she has to face this brutal war with her Servant.

Illya and Saber walked home behind them, quietly observing the Servant beside them.

Saber's upright and heroic face can't help but make people secretly guess whether he is from an aristocratic royal family, and his beautiful head is as big as gold thread, which is rare even for pure Westerners in modern times.

How to describe it, like a king.

"What's wrong?"

As if noticing Illya's gaze, Saber asked with a smile on her face.

"No, no, this ...... By the way, what does Saber want the Holy Grail for? Speaking of which, I haven't asked this yet, but I just heard Rin say that the Heroic Spirits seem to be summoned because of their wishes, right? ”

Suddenly asked by Saber, Illya waved her hand again and again, and changed the subject embarrassedly.

“…… Ahh......h

For some reason, Saber stopped in the face of this question and looked away with some unspeakable eyes. He seemed hesitant and didn't answer right away.

I don't know how many seconds have passed, but the young man whispered.

"Save the Motherland."

Is it an illusion that the shadow of the streetlamp obscures Saber's figure? Behind Saber, the shadow was like a trail of blood.

"Huh? Isn't that a great desire? Saber isn't embarrassed, right? Don't worry, once we win, the Holy Grail will be at your disposal. I don't need anything like that anyway. ”

Unable to understand the reason for Saber's hesitation, Illya, who didn't sense the ominous meaning hidden in it, said with a cheerful expression.

"For the country that cannot be protected with these hands, I am willing to do whatever it takes to redeem it. But, Illya, my Master, bet on the glory of this sword, and I will guard you to the end, and you will surely survive. ”

Saber didn't underestimate the deathmatch that awaited him. But he must be victorious, and he must protect what the last Holy Grail War failed to protect. For this reason, even if you have to sacrifice your own life, you will not hesitate.

The knight suddenly made a solemn declaration of his resolve. Illya had always thought that Saber was a cold and serious person, but she didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing, which made Illya blush, and she was embarrassed not to look away, not daring to look directly at Saber's serious expression.

"It's, it's too exaggerated, isn't it? Saber。 ”

Illya understood very well that this was not a love-like feeling, but a knight's oath. But there is probably no girl in the world who will not have a heartbeat in the face of such a situation. Saber must have been a playboy before, otherwise how could he say something so shy and shy.

A chill suddenly spread through Illya's body, and the nerves in her body ached violently as if they were spasms.

"Uh......!"

Of course, this anomaly did not arise due to Illya's own fault. Instead, the magic that permeated the surrounding air created an anomalous chaos, causing its sensitive magic circuits to fall into anomalies.

Saber, who was standing on the side, also looked to the west with a serious expression. It seems that with Servant's intuition, he was able to determine the direction in which this anomalous magic was activated.

"This ...... Is it Caster? Or Rider? ”

Saber looked off the horizon. It can be seen that the glowing several temples form a majestic super-large temple complex, with a total length of even several kilometers, and several strange spaceships floating around it.

It's probably something like an inherent enchantment, but this magic is terrifying, and Saber is not a magician, but he can sense it. Although most of the noble vehicles operated by the heroic spirits who participated in the Holy Grail War are powerful weapons, this is a different dimension. It can even be said that he is a guy with a different style from ordinary heroes.

More than that, this dignified act of showing off the trump card - is it an invitation? Invite all the Heroic Spirits to come to his works?

If there is no response from the Heroic Spirit, this Heroic Spirit will not be able to wait and turn the entire urbanization into a sea of fire, right? Just by the power it is displaying now, it can be seen that this Heroic Spirit does indeed have the violence to turn this threat into reality.

Suddenly, from the temple, a huge object that streaked light across the sky flew towards it.

"Be careful!"

Saber reflexively unleashes his magic, and his costume immediately transforms into his original battle outfit and takes a defensive stance.

Immediately after, a massive body larger than a large truck fell heavily in front of Saber's sight. The speed combined with the mass brought a huge energy shock, blowing a strong wind in the surrounding area for tens of meters.

A human face full of characteristic headdresses.

Huge body like a lion.

"Sphinx—"

Even Illya knew that it was a legendary monster teleported through ancient Greece and Babylonia, with a human head as a synthetic beast of the gods. Thousands of years ago, Horus, the god of the sky in ancient Egypt, was incarnated in the earthly world, and the legend is a four-legged beast.

In other words, this is a fantasy species, and only exists in ancient legends. If it is distinguished according to the rank of demonic beasts, phantom beasts, and divine beasts, -

There is no doubt that Saber, who has fought against the many fantasy species of the invading country, can assert that this is the most superior beast except for the dragon species!

"Whoa, whoa!!"

The giant beast roared, baring its human-like teeth at Saber, staring at Saber with a beastly expression.

"Stay away, Eliya."

The Knight King, who was worried about the girl's safety, stared at the lion beast with sharp eyes, clutching the invisible sword. Strangely, the lion didn't seem to be in a hurry to pounce. Rather, it roared like a proclamation.

I see, is the target Servant? That heroic spirit is really confident.

“Saber…… I know. ”

Illya swallowed nervously, words of encouragement were unnecessary at such times. At the same time, she realized that there would be no more peace until the Holy Grail War was over.

Every place, at any moment, could become a battlefield that destroys all life.
