Here, despite the desperation that struck Saber gritted her teeth, she continued to wield her sword without fear or give in.

No matter how deep the blow is, in an instant the wound will heal intact and will have no effect. It was all in vain - no, at least a slight slowdown in the Sea Devil's advance. But when you think about the coming end, it's just a death throe.

If I can use my left hand without being hurt by lancer......

Although he knew that it was useless to think about it, Saber couldn't help but think about it. Despite the powerful Phantasmies used by Rider and Lancer, they were unable to defeat the monster. No matter how many things and people on our side are there, how much we ravage it, but if all the wounds regenerate instantly, it doesn't make any sense. If you want to defeat the monster in the head, you can only beat it to the ground with a single blow, and there is not a single piece of meat left-what is needed now is not the treasure of the army, but the treasure of the city.

But for Saber now, the "Sword of Contract Victory", which can take on such a heavy responsibility, cannot be used. The disadvantage of her left hand is the debt that she vows to fight with Lancer.

"Hey! Saber！ It's not an option. Retreat for now. "A call to Rider in a vehicle overhead.

Saber said angrily, "What a stupid thing! If you don't think it's from here—"

"That's what I said, but there's nothing we can do! Listen to me first, retreat. I have my own way. ”

“……”

As a last resort, Saber threw a blow with all his might, and retreated with Rider to the shore where Lancer and Alice Fell were. As Saber jumped back into the water, Rider's chariot landed from the sky to the ground with a thunderous roar.

"Well, everyone, no matter what countermeasures you want to take in the future, you must first buy time." Without delay, Rider said straight to the point. Even the famous King of Conquest is not as calm and relaxed this time as usual.

"I'll use the King's Barrier to drag that guy into the Barrier first, where I have a million soldiers. But even if I do my best, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it...... At most, it's trapped in an inherent enchantment. ”

"What do you do after that?"

To Lancer, who had questions, Rider replied very simply. "I don't know."

However, as you can tell from his serious expression, Rider is no joke.

An expedient measure to buy time - even the strongest Noble Phantasm of the conquering king can only go so far now.

"After dragging something that big into it, my enchantment will only last a few minutes at most. O Immortals - be sure to come up with a strategy to win during this time. Boy, stay here too. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Rider put Webb off the driver's seat.

"Hello? Feed! ”

"Once the barrier is opened, I can't understand the outside world. Boy, if anything, concentrate on calling me, and I'll leave a herald for you. ”

“……”

Even though it was the time of the alliance, in Webb's opinion, it was extremely dangerous folly to split up with his own Heroic Spirit in front of two other Heroes. Having said that, in this case, no matter how much you are now on guard against the betrayal of the allies, it really won't help. Despite the trembling inwards, the boy nodded reluctantly.

"Saber, Lancer, please."

“…… Well. ”

“…… I see. ”

Although both of them agreed, their faces were very ugly. Everyone present understood that Rider's decision could only be an emergency and would not solve any practical problems.

Even so, Rider has complete trust in the Heroic Spirits he values. Once the decision was made, he did not hesitate at all, and drove the chariot towards the huge sea devil without looking back.

With a flash of golden light, the sea devil's massive body disappeared from the dam without a trace—but even if they couldn't see it, the Heroic Spirits and magicians present could clearly feel the aura of the monster rampaging through the otherdimensional barrier.

“…… What to do? ”

To break the silence of the scene, Webb spoke.

"We can buy some time, but if we don't take the opportunity to find a solution, it won't help. I said, Miss Alice Fell, don't you have any good ideas? ”

"That's what I said—"

Before Alice Phil could finish her sentence, a light electronic sound suddenly came out of her arms out of place. She herself was startled and hurriedly took out the source of the sound.

This mobile phone was given to her by Kiritsugu just in case. It goes without saying who is calling. But according to the principle of predestination, it will not be used for contact. Coupled with the urgency of the situation, Alice Phil suddenly couldn't remember the method of using it that should have been memorized by heart.

"Well, excuse me—how do you use this?"

She couldn't help but ask Webb, who was standing aside. Webb, who was angry because the conversation was interrupted, snatched the ringing phone from Alice Field's hand, and pressed the answer button to his ear. Although Weber was also a magician, he was not from a famous family, and he still had some experience in the use of these commonly used machines.

"-Is it Alice Phil?"

A deep man's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and Webb panicked. Originally, it would have been good to return it to the owner after pressing the answer button, but he took it on a whim. "No, I'm not ......"

“？ - That's right. You're the Master of Rider. As it happens, I have something to say to you. Kiritsugu said.

"Y-Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter. Your Heroic Spirit made Caster disappear, right? ”

“…… That's what happened. ”

"Then let me ask you, when Rider disables the inherent enchantment, can the contents of the interior fall to the designated place?"

Although I can't hear what the other party has in mind at all, in this situation where every second counts, it is a waste of time to ask any more questions. Weber replied cautiously as he recalled the basic rules of the inherent enchantment he had learned at the clock tower, and combined with the nature of the "King's Enchantment" that he had witnessed with his own eyes.

"Although there is a certain range, I think it is about 100 meters at most, but it should be feasible. After all, the dominance of reappearing on the outside is in the hands of Rider. ”

"Okay. I'll shoot a flare in a minute, and you'll release Caster right below the signal, okay? ”

“……”

The question was how to get in touch with Rider who was inside the enchantment, but he also said that he would leave a herald for himself. It seems that Rider is also aware of the need for joint action inside and outside the barrier.

"No problem—I think. …… Probably. Webb said nervously, who was he talking to? It should be from the Einsberen camp, and from the tone of his voice, it looks like he is watching the movement here.

"One more thing. Help me tell Lancer who is there. - Saber said that he had a castle treasure on his left hand. ”

"Huh?"

Webb, who was getting more and more confused, couldn't help but ask rhetorically, but the other party had simply hung up the phone, leaving only a busy voice ringing emptyly.

"-Is something wrong?"

Lancer asked quizzedly, sensing Webb's meaningful gaze.

"How could it be...... The other party has something to convey to you. Said it was 'Saber has a castle treasure on his left hand' or something......

“！！”

Lancer was stunned, and Saber was also embarrassed, and their expressions changed dramatically at the same time.

"Is he telling the truth? Saber。 ”

“……”

Although the two people present tried their best to avoid this question, it was not a way to keep it secretive. Saber grimaced and nodded silently.

"The Noble Phantasm...... Can you take out Caster's monster in one hit? ”

"Maybe, maybe—"

Saber nodded again, staring directly at the Spear Spirit with a determined gaze, and continued.

"Lancer, I'm okay. The wounds I suffered in the battle with you are an honour to me, not a shackle. ”

Even if you make Lancer feel guilty now, it won't help the situation. As a shared companion of chivalry, Saber hopes that Lancer will have a fair showdown regardless of his injuries.

Lancer didn't answer, as if he could see the sea devils fighting Rider's army in the far away barrier, just squinting at the river.

"—Na, Saber. I can't forgive that Caster. Although Lancer's words were staccato and his tone was very calm, there was a resolute determination in his beautiful, demonic eyes.

"He takes pride in making people despair and takes pleasure in spreading terror. I swore before I became a knight that I would never let 'evil' run rampant! ”

Lancer stuck the red gun in his right hand into the ground, holding the middle of the remaining yellow gun tightly with both hands. At this time, Saber, who immediately realized what this self-esteemed spear hero was going to do next, couldn't help but be dumbfounded in surprise and speechless. "-Lancer, don't do that!"

"Is it Saber or Lancer who have to win now? No! Neither! What must be won now is what we all believe in as the 'way of chivalry' - am I right? Heroic Altoria. ”

Lancer smiled nonchalantly and let out a loud cry - he didn't hesitate to break one of his twin guns.

The powerful curse power condensed in the "Perishable Yellow Rose" turned into a whirlwind and burst out, scattering in the blink of an eye.

Who would have thought that there would be a Heroic Spirit self-destruction as a treasure weapon for victory? Not only Saber, but even Alice Phil and Webb were stunned by Lancer's actions, and were speechless for a while.

"Our desire for victory rests on the sword of the Knight King. Please, Saber. ”

A strong thought raced through Saber's chest, causing her "left hand" to clench into a fist. After being freed from the curse of the "Perishable Yellow Rose", the wound on the Knight King's hand healed immediately. She responded with passionate power, the silver wrist armor making a crisp sound, trembling slightly with excitement for the battle to come.

"I promise you, Lancer—I will bring victory with this sword!"

The Wind King's barrier has been unlocked, and the golden sword has revealed its true form with the roaring storm. The glorious blade of the sword lit up the darkness around it as if it had been promised a victory oath.

"That's King Arthur's ......"

Seeing this noble treasure with his own eyes, Webb was stunned with amazement.

It was as if I had seen a ray of light in the long dark night, and the anxiety and anxiety that had been entrenched in my heart were swept away by this light.

Yes, that's the ideal of a knight.

Despite being on a bloody battlefield

Despite being in an endless hell of horror and despair full of death

The sword is shining brightly, no one can stop it, this is the brilliance of the knight!
