"Rin, make a pact with me.

I can't watch this situation anymore. I have decided to renounce my identity as Ruler and make a pact with you as Saber. ”

Seeing the triumphant face of Yan Feng Qili, a typical bad guy, Joan of Arc, who has always adhered to his duties, finally couldn't bear it anymore. As a Ruler, she has a rank skill called "Divine Judgment" that allows her to use two spells on every Servant participating in the Holy Grail War, but she can't convince herself to use this skill to negate Lancer's remaining two "legitimate" spells without illegally adding the spell in Bazette's hand.

Then she had to use the sword in her hand to defend justice - not legal justice, but justice in the hearts of her and her possessed Retitia!

"Joan of Arc...... Thank you! ”

Rin Tosaka was really surprised and grateful for Joan of Arc's decision, but in a situation where this strategic stalemate could be broken at any time, she didn't even have time to express more gratitude, and immediately stretched out her right hand engraved with three spells, and chanted part of the spell that summoned the Servant again:

"Declared-

Your body obeys my command, my life is with your sword, if you are willing to obey this will, please answer it! ”

"Servant~Saber, willing to fight for you!

From now on, my sword is with you, and your destiny is with me.

At this point, the contract is concluded. ”

Joan of Arc, holding the military flag, gently placed her right fist on her heart and swore an oath like a knight. The passage of magic was immediately established between her and Rin Tosaka, and Joan of Arc was instantly stripped of many of her skills as Ruler, leaving her to fight to the end as Saber in this Holy Grail War - just like she had ten years ago.

No, this time is still different from ten years ago! Ten years ago, although he was not deceived, he also gave up his duties and became Saber in a daze; But this time she was not confused in her heart, it was entirely because of her own will that she decided to save these people who should be saved, in order to end the Holy Grail Battle itself, which should be ended. Relinquish Ruler's rank and responsibilities!

"Joan of Arc, please lead everyone to victory!"

"OBEY THE MASTER'S ORDERS!"

With the help of the famous Joan of Arc, Rin Tosaka regained his confidence in victory. And Joan of Arc didn't say anything grandiose, she just resolutely accepted the master's order in her voice, and then resolutely waved the flag that guided the French soldiers to win victory after victory and rushed into the battlefield!

"Drink!"

Joan of Arc, who is Saber, took the initiative to find Lancer Skaha, who still had two spells available, and then stabbed them bravely in the surprised gaze of the other party!

- Yes, she holds a morale-boosting banner in her hand, but since the tip of the flagpole is equipped with the tip of a spear, it is a revelation that God has allowed her to use this flag to beat the enemy, right?

“Berserker！ Come with me! Don't worry about me getting hurt by the flames!

Archer！ Support as much as you can! Don't worry about me getting hit by a stray arrow! ”

As soon as he entered the battlefield, Joan of Arc, who usually spoke very gently, immediately shouted loudly and unceremoniously. As the leader, he commanded the other two Servants on his side.

However, her example and her "don't worry" are naturally admirable and convincing on the battlefield where she has always been "on me" instead of "follow me". Kiyohime, who had already turned into a fire dragon, immediately rushed to Skaha, who was entangled in Joan of Arc's military banner, a strange weapon, and Artemis also took the opportunity of Joan of Arc's banner to block the other party's view and fired arrows one after another, forcing Bazet to fight harder.

No matter how strong Bazet is, she's just a human. Even Monochiri had to use the magic of several spells to deal effective damage to the Servant, and Soichiro Katsugi's fist had to be enhanced by Caster's magic to contain the Servant, and she could only harass the Servant with a glove engraved with hardened runes when the "Backlightsaber" awakening conditions were insufficient.

But Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, bent his bow, aimed and released his arrows too quickly. Even though her agility has dropped by one level in the "Dark Mist Capital", her absolute speed is still higher than that of Bazet, and it is a little surprising that her ability to deal with melee attacks is also not bad, and Bazet, the "human murder weapon", is completely inferior in front of her "chest (river crab) weapon" on Mount Olympus.

Luckily, Bazet is a human. That's why Artemis, who is stronger than her, allowed her to keep pestering herself and didn't shoot her directly - even though Yanagito Kazunari didn't use the Command Spell to give orders, Artemis didn't mind fulfilling the Master's request. Anyway, she didn't have much interest in victory, she didn't have much interest in the Holy Grail, just to keep an eye on Orion...... No. It was to protect Orion that he answered the call instead.

"Yan Feng! Why didn't Assassin make a move! ”

Seeing that Skaha was clearly at a disadvantage under the combined attacks of Joan of Arc who fought with the flag, Berserker who turned into a fire dragon, and Archer who shot cold arrows from time to time, he was really unable to harass Archer effectively. Bazet also had to open his mouth to urge Yan Fengqili. But Yan Feng Qili may have been afraid of the "real Assassin" who has not yet appeared, so she even asked her to insist a little longer:

"If Lancer can't hold on, use the Spell, Assassin and we are only allies after all, and it's up to her to decide when to strike."

"Humph!"

Listening to Yan Fengqili's serious but full of lies, Bazet couldn't help but snort coldly—probably because of this. Then Skaha suddenly appeared behind Archer, and even Skaha, who was holding two guns to block the flag and arrows, was visibly stunned.

This is also the effect of the spell. Bazet, who has a lot of combat experience, would not waste the spell on the command of "must hit", which forces the opponent to use the spell to resist as well, and Skaha, who is thousands of times more experienced in combat, did not live up to her expectations, and instinctively launched the "Piercing Death Lance" against the human treasure when her face was still fluttering, and stabbed Archer in the vest as quickly as lightning!

"Brush!"

Although Artemis relied on her B-rank Hearteye (Pseudo) skill to dodge as soon as danger approached, Skaha's Red Magic Spear was of the same type as her disciple Kuchurin's, which was a causal weapon that determined the result first and then generated the cause, so her left arm was still slashed by the blade.

However, seeing the results of this highly successful Phantasm attack, Bazet and Skaha were more surprised than anyone else. Because as long as this treasure is activated, it will definitely stab the deadly vital point of the target, unless it ...... The other party has strong luck enough to turn the tide, or a great "intuition"! (To be continued.) )
