After passing through the mountain road, you will come to the Liudong Temple, and feel the magic raging outside the gate, and the battle is taking place inside the temple.

Saber walked up the stairs, and the Liudong Temple was almost completely different from the last time he came.

The air is heavy, the wind is dead, and the lifeblood of the land has long been polluted.

But even so, there was no need to hesitate, Saber's speed did not decrease a little, and he rushed up the long stone steps, the surrounding scenery whistling by, the footsteps on the stone steps echoed, and the mountain began to stir.

That is, the long staircase, even Saber, who rushed up like an arrow, was still far from the mountain gate, and it was impossible for the enemy to pass through the mountain gate without the enemy detecting such a long distance. It is impossible to reach the mountain gate easily, there will definitely be a surprise attack.

However, nothing can stop Saber now, even Berserker, who believes she can break through. This is her determination and her confidence as a swordsman.

Breaking through all barriers, Saber is able to feel fulfilled in herself. Then, just as we were about to reach the top of the mountain, sure enough, an obstacle appeared.

Looking at the man who appeared in front of him, he had a natural posture, without hostility and without a trace of flaws. Even she, who was determined to break through all obstacles, was surprised by this enemy.

Saber stood still, raised his invisible sword, and the man with his back to the moon felt Saber's murderous aura like a breeze.

Saber had fought in two Holy Grail Wars and had seen many Heroes, but this was the first time she had seen a Servant dressed like this, who looked like a samurai.

Saber's forehead was oozing with sweat, not from fear, but from being too difficult to understand.

In the past, it wasn't that there were no servants like this man, and in terms of strange, unidentified, and dazzlingly dressed, the guy who was covered in gold in the last Holy Grail War should be unmatched.

Compared to that, the Servant in front of him was not anything to be feared, nor was it surprisingly armed.

So, that's the anomaly... From the man in front of him, Saber couldn't feel anything. It's true that it's a Servant, but it lacks the unique Noble Phantasm, and it doesn't even have enough magic.

This kind of opponent should be able to be easily defeated, and a single blow can decide the victory.

But... Saber's instincts told her that ,——— should never be taken lightly.

The distance between the two did not shorten, Saber raised his sword and stared at the enemy in front of him, although he did not know his true identity, he must at least know what the attributes of this samurai were.

"I ask you, what kind of Servant are you?"

Faced with Saber's question, the Servant smiled meaningfully and spoke as if chanting: "I am the Assissin of this Holy Grail War - Kojiro Sasaki!" ”

"Assissin I've already seen it, it's not you at all!"

"That Assissin has been defeated, and I appeared as a false Assisssin." Sasaki Kojiro didn't hide his identity in the slightest, much to Saber's surprise, and generally Servant wouldn't reveal his identity so easily.

"It's really incomprehensible, it's natural to show your identity in front of your opponent, let alone if your opponent has a beautiful face like you, but it's beyond my expectation that it will make you have this kind of expression."

Saber frowned, her opponent gave her name, and it stands to reason that she should do the same

"I see, Assissin, and I'll respond to you by my real name as well." Saber took a deep breath, the glory of a knight cannot be discarded, victory is indeed important, but dignity is more valuable.

"No need, it's enough for me to know that you're Saber, there's no need to know your real name, I just need to use this long knife to defeat the Servant named Saber, no need to speak." The swordsman smiled.

"I see, I see." Saber gripped the sword in his hand hard, the other party was a true samurai, even if it was an enemy, he had to show the highest respect.

The silver light danced between the rigid and the soft, and under the moonlight, the battle between the swordsmen with very different properties began————

The blades are staggered.

Countless sword marks, countless heavy sword lights. Swords collide with swords and sparks emit sparks.

Saber and Sasaki Kojiro had already fought for dozens of rounds in the blink of an eye, but their positions had not changed at all, and the Assassin standing on the steps had not moved a single step.

Saber who wanted to rush up the stone steps couldn't get a single step, but it just consumed time and physical strength.

Saber stepped forward dozens of times, and the Assassin easily swung his long knife more than five feet long to defend against Saber's attack.

No, it's not just a matter of defense, if Saber's swordsman is thunder, then Assassion's long knife is a blast, although the speed and strength are not as fast as Saber's, but the soft trajectory completely cuts Saber's attack apart.

Then with an accelerated response, it swept towards Saber's head like a storm, Saber dodged the blow, but then the long knife slashed at him in a seamless motion.

In contrast to Saber's straight line swordplay, Assassin's sword technique depicts curves, and although the sword is elegant, it is not swung at the shortest distance because it is drawn in an arc.

Therefore, Saber's straight sword technique should have been able to catch up, but Assassion had a way to make the gap invisible.

The impact of metal, one after another, staggered dazzling sparks in the dark night, Saber stopped stepping forward, the sword in her hand could not catch up with the long knife that fought back, in order to avoid it, she could only retreat.

The sword skills are too strong!

Saber was amazed, Assassin's knife skills were dazzlingly beautiful, and at the same time, he had a speed that was difficult to see.

It's too strange, the long knife attacks, and if you block it once, it's easy to get close, but Saber can't do it, and the opponent's attack feels like there is no gap, as if it is attacking at the same time.

However, the other party had no intention of defeating her further, and always forced Saber to retreat.

"Assassin, is this your way of fighting?"

"My mission is to stop the enemy, and I won't let you enter the Liudong Temple."

"Stop me? Why..."

Saber was stunned for a moment, Gollum and Heizhen were in the Liudong Temple, did they not want them to make peace? What is the significance?

"I only know what I do, and I don't know why, but what is certain is that if you continue like this, you will be hit by unpredictable blows."

The Assassin's words made Saber's heart skip a beat, and his sharp instincts were as if he had discovered something, and he kept warning him.
