On the third night of the official start of the Holy Grail War, the night of the wild goose secretly arrived at the castle of the Einzberen family in Fuyuki City.

The reason why Sakura was adopted to the Maki family was to inherit the magic circuit and family heirloom for the Makiri family, which had no successor.

However, Sakura's attribute "imaginary number" does not match the water attribute magic of the Maki family, so the Sakura has been transformed by insect magic for this Sakura.

The body that was parasitized by insect magic is naturally different from the original body, and the night of the wild goose decided to let the cherry blossoms get rid of the darkness of the house, including the complete release of the influence of the insect magic.

When it comes to healing this kind of magic wound, there should be no one who knows more than the Einzberen family, an android family.

In the forest outside the castle, the wild goose said to himself as he walked:

"Magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, I really don't know what kind of person he will be, and whether he will accept the proposal of an alliance. If you don't have good access, you will have a headache. ”

"Yan Ye, I think your plan to form an alliance with the Einzberen family is a bit inconsiderate."

Zhao Yun appeared beside Jian Tong Yanye.

"I know, but I always feel unwilling if I don't try, I don't know much about magic, if there are any serious sequelae of the magic transformation of the old monster, and finally cause Sakura to be hurt or even lose her life, I'm not willing to be on the other side of the Santu River."

"However, because of the Holy Grail War, you and the master of the Saber side must have a hostile relationship. The situation between Tosaka Tokitomi and Gunmine Kiri is not clear, but if the lord of the Saber side is bound to obtain the Holy Grail, I am afraid that in order to eliminate an opponent, he will attack us who have broken into the hinterland. ”

"It's okay, I have confidence in Zhao Yun. If that's the case, then let's run away. ”

While speaking, the two had already gone a long way in, and Zhao Yun suddenly stopped Jian Tongyan Ye beside him:

"Be careful, there are always some bugs and birds and the sound of the wind in the normal forest, but this forest is too quiet, and there are some strange noises, which seem to come from far ahead!"

Jian Tong Yanye listened carefully, and sure enough, as Zhao Yun said, the silence around was terrifying, except for the sound made by the two of them themselves, there was no sound. But far ahead, there was a slight creepy sound.

"It's like the sound of insects gnawing at something summoned by insect magic, maybe some kind of summoning magic, as if someone else is ahead of us. Zhao Yun, you go over and take a look first, if someone attacks the royal lord of the Einzberen family, do them a favor and send some favors out. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and with a whistle, a tall pure white horse came to his side.

The horse was snow-white all over the body, without a trace of stray hair, and in the moonlight of the night, it exuded a misty glow. The mane on the neck is thick and curly, like the neck of a lion.

The white horse shines on the jade lion at night, and can travel thousands of miles a day, crossing mountains and rivers like a god horse walking on the flat ground.

Zhao Yun touched the neck of the white horse, and the Yezhao Jade Lion pressed Zhao Yun's face affectionately with his nose.

"Old man, I'm going to give me another ride."

As if he understood his master's words, the Yezhao Jade Lion raised his head and snorted.

"Yanye, I'll go and take a look first, the situation is not clear, you be careful yourself."

Zhao Yun stepped on the stirrup on the side of the Yezhao Jade Lion and turned over on the horse, and as soon as he flicked the reins, the Yezhao Jade Lion hissed a long hiss, then spread its four hooves and turned into a white lightning bolt and ran forward.

At the source of the voice, a man dressed as a dark wizard held an old book and had an eerie smile on his face.

The pitch-black robe on his body, stained with blood-like red patterns, exuded an unclean evil aura. Behind him, a mass of flesh that he didn't know how to describe became his backdrop, making him look even more terrifying.

These wriggling, dark snake-like monsters, with long tentacles and suckers all over their bodies, and huge mouthparts with dense sharp teeth growing at the base of their tentacles, are not monsters that should exist in the human world at all.

Saber held the sword in one hand in his right hand and looked at the dark wizard-like man's eyes full of anger.

This Dark Wizard-like Servant, the last Servant of the Holy Grail War, Caster, suddenly arrived on the outskirts of the castle of the Einzberen family, along with a dozen children. Threatening that "Joan of Arc" would not come out, he killed the children one by one, and immediately grabbed the skull of one of them.

Saber had seen him a day earlier when he and Alice Fell were driving on the mountain road, and at that time he seemed to have mistaken someone, calling Saber Artoria by the name "Joan of Arc".

She hadn't taken it to heart at the time, but now she realized that the guy in front of her seemed to be a madman, and that she might resemble Joan of Arc as he called it, so much so that he had mistaken the person.

However, none of this mattered, the madman Caster had murdered a dozen children in front of her, tearing them into scattered bones, and these children were not at peace even after death, being torn apart and devoured by the monsters summoned by Caster, like a hell drawing that summons abyssal monsters using children as sacrifices.

Such a tragic situation cannot be accepted by anyone with a righteous heart, let alone the noble Knight King of Britain.

"Ah, Joan of Arc, you are still so holy. Noble and righteous awe-inspiring saint, this must be God's will, let us meet here again! But how hateful are the gods, that they have deprived you of your memory, and you do not even recognize your faithful companion, I, Gilles de Les. Yes, this must be a test of God, and I will bring you back to your senses, Joan of Arc! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about. Caster, are you here to provoke me by killing young children? If so, then you have succeeded, and suffer death! ”

Caster's words were forgotten by Saber, and she raised her shadowless sword, silver armor shining brightly.

She wanted to kill this fanatic, not to do with the hostility of the Holy Grail War, but to vent the anger in her chest.

The monster Caster summoned was in the path of her sword, and the sword sliced through the flesh of the monster like tofu, cutting it in two.

If this were a movie that celebrated heroes, then Saber, who was awe-inspiring and wielding a sword across the battlefield, would have been able to take out the twisted monsters like a melon and a vegetable before apprehending the terrorist Caster in front of him.

However, the speed at which Saber kills monsters is indeed like chopping melons and vegetables, but no matter how many monsters Saber kills, new monsters will be added, and dozens of swords have been slashed in two, killing countless monsters, but the number of monsters surrounding Saber is not less.

These monsters with twisted tentacles are not strong, and can even be said to be weak. But under their numerical offensive, Saber was forced into a passive defensive dilemma.

Monsters are constantly wriggling from the flesh and blood of dead children, from seedbeds, and even from dead monster corpses. The number of slashes and kills by Saber is not even comparable to the number of new monsters.

The solemnity on Saber's face grew heavier and heavier.

With such a high frequency of magic use, normal Heroic Spirits should have run out of mana. In fact, just by swinging the sword, Saber used a lot of mana. But the Caster in front of him showed no lack of magic at all.

Saber's gaze was locked on the human skin book in Caster's hand.

There was no doubt that it must be some kind of treasure. And with some kind of terrible function.

Saber's instincts had always been accurate, and some kind of guess came to her mind

It's not that Caster is using magic, he's just controlling it. Chanting incantations, providing the magic, is actually the book in Caster's hand.

The book itself was a large-capacity magic furnace, and with the help of that book, using summoning magic was not a burden on Caster at all. Before his mana ran out, Caster could summon an endless army of demons, and before that, Saber's own mana was probably exhausted.

"Have you noticed? That's right, it's this book. This is the magic book left to me by my allies, and with it I have gained the power to drive the demon army. ”

If you can use the "Sword of Oath Victory", you can kill all of the dozens of monsters with a single sword. However, the tendon of his left hand was injured by Dilumudo's treasure "Yellow Rose", and he was unable to launch the treasure of the city with only one hand.

Right now, Saber is in an extremely precarious position.

"Ah, my dear saint. Indeed, even if you are outnumbered and caught in the enemy's ranks, your noble will will not give in. But it's time for you to come to your senses, right? My holy woman, the salvation of the God in whom you believe and the God you hope for will never come. Plunge into the dark abyss with me, Joan of Arc! ”

“wryyyyyyyyy！”

The loud neighing of horses was heard, and a white figure passed through the forest, and the sharp wind went straight to the laughing Caster.

Caster tilted his head and narrowly avoided the spear's puncture, but was still hit by the Nightlight Jade Lion and flew several meters away, not stopping until it hit a tree.

“berserker？ How did it end up here? ”

As a heroic spirit, Saber's eyesight was extremely keen, and he immediately recognized the man in white and silver armor in front of him as the Berserker he had seen two days ago.

The berserker seems to have been completely absorbed by Caster. After colliding with Caster, he immediately turned over and dismounted, drew his sword from his waist and slashed at Caster.

The monsters summoned by Caster began to come to their aid, but the sword and spear in berserker's hand killed all the monsters that surrounded him in a few sweeps, and the sword in his left hand slashed into the Oblivion City Textbook in the hand of Cstereo, who was dodging.

The Qing Yu Sword slashed out, and a long wound was cut open in the Luo Annihilation City Sect.

Caster hugged the Luoyan City Textbook in his hand as if he was covering some treasure, and dodged the slash of the Qingyu Sword in the opponent's hand several times in a row, and he shouted angrily:

"You have come to disturb my precious reunion with the Holy Maiden, you deserve death! Even if you win this time, I won't give up. One day, my holy woman, you will remember everything, and when that time comes, I will definitely come and pick you up! ”

Taking advantage of the gap between battles, Caster put away the treasure in his hand, turned into a spirit and disappeared into the forest.

"Looks like it's going to be quite lively here tonight."

Saber turned his head and saw a decadent man in a hooded tracksuit. Walked out of the dense forest.

Saber aimed his sword at the newborn, decadent man.

"The forests of Einzberen are covered with many protections and barriers, and normal people can't enter them. Who are you? ”

The decadent man scratched his head and responded:

"I'm the master of the berserker over there, so you should understand. Since you're a saber, your lord should be around here, right, can you take me to him? I have something I want to talk to him about. ”

"I'm sorry, Berserker Imperial Master Kirimaya, we can solve the matter by ourselves here, we don't need your help, please go back."

"That's not necessarily, look back at the castle of the Einzberen family, the intermittent gunshots, it is clearly a battle, and there is also the breath of a servant mixed in it, are you sure you don't need the help of me and Berserker?"

"Huh?"

Saber looked in the direction of the castle, and sure enough, as the Berserker Lord had said, all the lights in Einzberen had gone out. Gunshots were constantly heard in it. Based on the modern knowledge in his head and Emiya Kiritsugu's daily situation, Saber immediately judged that this was the sound of one of Emiya Kiritsugu's usual submachine guns.

"Will you really help my Master?"

Saber asked, skeptically.

"Please don't worry about that." Jian Tong Yanye waved his hand, "I did come to him to cooperate." ”

"Well, I won't stop you. But remember, I'll be back soon, and if you're attacking my lord at that time, be prepared to meet my wrath. ”

"It's scary, it's scary, I know, that's it, Berserker, let's go."

The white-clad and silver-armored berserker pulled up his master, and the thunderous hooves of the jade lion splashed up a cloud of dust and headed straight for the castle of the Einzberen family.

Inside the castle, Emiya Kiritsugu's situation can be described as dangerous.

His servant, Saber Altoria, is attracted by Caster, but at this time, Lancer and Lancer's Master Kenneth come to the door.

Alice Phil had already left the castle early to take refuge, and Maiya had followed her orders to protect Alice Phil. Even the servants in the family had been repatriated at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, and now Eimiya Kiritsugu was the only one left in the Einz Belen family.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu is a battle-hardened mercenary and magician killer. But only one person wants to deal with the master and the servant. Especially a superman like the servant Dilumudo, he is really a little powerless.

In the final analysis, Emiya Kiritsugu is not a traditional magician, and he is not good at using those complex attack and defense magic to fight, although he has strong qualifications as a magician, but in the use of magic, he is best at and the only magic he will use in battle, is the magic that comes from his father Emiya Juxian, inherent time control.

Applying Inherent Time Restraint to oneself can alter the flow of time within one's body, multiplying one's speed or slowing one's speed.

Taking the risk of using triple speed Inherent Time Domination, dodging Kenneth's magic costume - the automatic attack of the Moon Spirit Liquid and the lancer Dilumudo's spear blade, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his left hand.

It was no longer time to save the spell, and Emiya Kiritsugu decided to consume a spell to teleport Saber to himself.
