"Tsk, that's exactly what happened. As long as Archer is serious, how can Shirou Emiya be his opponent? The evenly matched situation that appeared in the original book is really a bug, or it is the effect of other unknown reasons. Zhou Chao, who was standing on the side with Sakura, looked at the one in the distance who had become unrecognizable because of Illya's magic bombing, and it could be said that it was a piece of minced meat.

Then he waited for a moment, and then said, "Alright, three, please come with me." ”

"What if I say no." Illya turned around, stared at Zhou Chao with an unkind face, and said in a deep voice.

Originally, she felt angry in her heart because her attack accidentally destroyed the body of Wei Gong Shirou, and she wanted to find someone to vent, but now that it is good, Zhou Chao came to her muzzle by herself, and Illya naturally did not let go.

What's more, if you really want to talk about it, the Zhou Dynasty is still the source of a qiē.

"Then I can only say I'm sorry." Zhou Chao said with a regretful expression.

As his words fell, Lijielit quickly moved the axe in her hand to her front again, staring at Zhou Chao with her eyes wary. Illya didn't speak, but the four alchemical owls made of her hair fluttering around her were just as aimed at him, their wings flapping, ready to attack.

On the contrary, it was Rin Tosaka, who was their companion, and suddenly stepped aside silently, showing an attitude of being prepared to help each other, which made Illya, who had taken this scene into her eyes, frown slightly.

Sakura didn't say anything either, but her body tensed.

For a while, the atmosphere between several people became tense.

But it didn't last long, and it was soon broken by Illya's exclamation of disbelief.

“Berserker!?”

Illya turned. He looked into the distance.

……

Now let's rewind time a little bit, back to the time when Archer escaped.

Archer suddenly changed his path from a straight dash to a recoil and returned to the battlefield where Astolford, Berserker, and Saber fought back at a 45-degree angle.

Of course, it was not a direct rush without any thought, but when he rushed to the edge of the battlefield, he suddenly stopped, made bows and arrows, and turned against the Berserker who was riding a Hippogriff Astor Fort.

"Huh!"

Pause. Countless rains of light flew out and instantly flew in front of Berserker.

Berserker stopped and turned, giving up the pursuit of Astolford, and the stone knife in the anti-wheel hand suddenly stirred up a strong air that formed something like an air shield, blocking the rain of arrows fired by Archer.

However, Archer ignored this, and after releasing this batch of arrows, he retracted his bow and rushed again. Rushing diagonally to Saber's side, he raised his knife and stabbed Saber in the back with the lightning-like Spellbreaker that suddenly appeared in his hand.

But it didn't work out, just as he stabbed the Broken Ten Thousand Spells Talisman into Saber's body. Saber, who looked like a wolf, turned around in vain and slashed at him with a sword, creating a huge wound on Archer's already battered body.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Suddenly, Archer's expression changed. He staggered away from Saber's side.

Then powerful magic erupted from Saber's body, forming a huge pillar of light visible to the naked eye, and soaring into the sky.

It's just that it didn't last long. Soon, it vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind a Saber on all fours, on his knees on the ground, his head bowed and gasping for air.

“Saber。” A pale Archer exclaimed as he looked at Saber, who was panting there with his head down.

“Archer。” Saber looked up at him with a complicated expression.

"It seems that you have recovered, so that I can do the last thing with peace of mind." Archer chuckled. Then he staggered up from the ground, and walked step by step to the Berserker, who was driven around by Astolford in a Hippogriff to delay time.

"Archer......" Saber turned to look at him and whispered again.

But in response to her, there was a low and solemn chant.

“Iamtheboneofmysword。 (I am the bone of the sword I hold)"

“Steelismybody,andfireismyblood。 (Steel for body, flame for blood)"

“Ihavecreatedoverathousandblades。 (There are more than 1,000 handmade swords)"

“UnknowntoDeath。 (Undefeated)"

“NorknowntoLife。 (Nor is it understood)"

“Havewithstoodpaintocreatemanyweapons。 (He has suffered many weapons)"

“Yet,thosehandswillneverholdanything。 (However, all that is left is nothingness)"

“SoasIpray,UnlimitedBladeWorks。 (Therefore as I pray, the infinite sword is made)"

A few steps and a pause, as if stepping on a certain node. So the moment Archer's last words fell, an exaggerated magic that was not much more than the magic jet that had erupted from Saber's body spread out from Archer's body, like a hurricane, and instantly spread out to all sides.

Then the image of the garden space in Einzbergerberg, which had become dilapidated, was transformed into a yellow desolate mound of broken and rusty swords, and dots of golden light like Mars floated around. Coupled with the misty black smoke that rises from nowhere, it gives people a sense of desolation, loneliness, dilapidation, and desolation.

Several huge gears of various sizes hung high in the sky, moving there like simple machines.

This environment is nowhere else, it is Archer's mental world, the Inherent Enchantment. Infinite swording.

"Berserker, let me give you the final death, and I will not be worthy of your heroic name." Archer, who was standing on the top of the barren hill, turned his hands into a warrior, looked at Berserker standing in the sword forest, and said softly.

"Roar!" Berserker yelled in response.

……

At this time, the outside world.

“Rider。” Saber staggered to his feet, looking at Astolfo hovering in mid-air on a Hippogriff.

"Huh?" Astolfo looked back at Saber blankly.

"Are you also a servant who was controlled by Caster?" Saber stared deeply into Astolford's face. Shen Sheng asked.

"No, my Master has always been Sakura's, but it's Caster, who became my Master's Servant after me." Astolford said as a matter of course.

"That means you've been with Caster since the beginning, right?" Saber's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again.

"yes." Astolfo replied naturally, a little unsure of what Saber meant.

"In that case, that's my enemy! Rider, let's fight! Saber's golden sword, which had been hidden by the Wind King's enchantment, was lifted in one fell swoop. Pointing to Astolfo in mid-air, he said awe-inspiringly.

"Huh!?" Astolfo was stunned, completely unable to understand why Saber, who had just been a companion, suddenly turned back.

But Saber, who had already made up his mind to fight, didn't give Astolford the slightest time to think, and directly stepped on the ground, while stomping the air into a visible air explosion. The body flew into the air like a disemboweled cannonball, appeared beside Astolfo, and slashed at Astolfo with a swing of the long sword in his hand.

Astolford was taken aback. Without thinking about it, he drove the Hippogriff into another dimension, and in the next moment, he appeared in another place and looked back at Saber.

Saber is on the offensive non-stop. After falling back to the ground, he stepped on it again and rushed back to Astolfo......

"Hey, Saber, aren't we companions? Why are you attacking me? Astolfo asked loudly as he manipulated the Hippogriff to dodge.

"I'm not your companion to the evil guy who dances with Caster! Rider, don't run if you have the ability, come and fight me with dignity! Saber said loudly as he attacked.

"Evil guy, when did I become an evil guy?" Astolfo was wronged.

Saber didn't answer, but either with the help of the terrain or directly with his force, he chased Astolfo in mid-air until another moment later.

At this moment, the space in the completely destroyed garden courtyard of Einzberger trembled, and the figure of Archer, who had disappeared before, appeared again.

Seeing this, Saber immediately stopped pursuing Astolfo and turned his head to look at Archer in the field. Astolfo did not flee again, and also stopped his movements and looked at him condescendingly.

"It's nice to see you again at last." Archer looked directly at Saber who was looking at him and smiled.

Then the aura around his body drifted away, and he quickly disappeared into the void from the footsteps.

"Archer, who the hell are you?" Saber asked with a frown as he looked at Archer, who was losing his body. Because from the other party's last words, she clearly felt that the other party knew herself and seemed to have a deep friendship with herself, but her memory did not have enough impression of the other party, which had to make her wonder.

"Who is it...... I forgot too, so be it. Archer turned his head to look at the sky and chuckled.

Then, without waiting for Saber to speak, his entire body exploded, turning into a flood of light and completely dissolving into the air, leaving no trace of the past.

At this point, after Assassin and Lancer, Archer and Berserker have also clearly retired from this Holy Grail War and returned to the system.

"Rdier, it's just you and me now, let's have a fair victory." After a moment of silence, Saber looked up at Astolfo in mid-air.

"Gee, does it have to be like this? The Holy Grail or anything is useless to me, I can give it to you if you want, so let's live in peace. Astolfo raised his hand and scratched his cheek, and said helplessly.

“…… Although your mention is very good, but ...... The final Holy Grail can only be achieved after all six Servant souls have returned, so you and me, Rider, must decide between you and me. Saber was silent for a moment, then replied with a determined expression.

"Is that so?" Astolfo tilted his head to look at Saber, and finally said helplessly, "Okay then, then let's win or lose." ”

Then he reached out and patted the sitting Hippogriff, allowing himself to rise one liter higher into the air again.

Seeing this, Saber, who understood what Astolfo was going to do, did not hesitate, and summoned some of the magic power that had been restored in his body during this time, instilled it into his sword, and put on a posture of preparing to release the victory of the oath.

The golden light bloomed, like a small sun, illuminating the entire courtyard brightly.

Then a crisp eagle chirped in the air, and a whizzing white pillar of light shot straight towards Saber......

"Whew!"

“Ex…… calibur! Saber raised his sword and unleashed his final blow.

"Whew!"

The golden beam pierced the air, instantly colliding with the white pillar of light that fell from the sky.

"Boom!"

Then, an even more dazzling light bloomed, like a white hole, sucking all the surrounding light through, making the entire sky seem to dim in an instant. The intense shock wave spread out in all directions, blowing away the surrounding gravel, dirt, trees, flowers and plants.

Fortunately, this situation did not exist for long, and after only five or six seconds, the light in the sky suddenly disappeared as if it appeared, making the entire space change back to its original appearance. (To be continued......)
