Chapter 257: Saber with Infinite Magic Power Appears in the HF Version
When Medea pierced Kiritsugu Emiya's arm with her Noble Phantasm 'All-Encompassing Breaking the Rules', his contract with Artoria immediately vanished.

At this moment, Artoria regained her freedom.

At this point, she was already able to form contracts with other Masters.

Her new master has already been decided, and that is Fu Le.

"Would you be willing to become my servant, Saber?"

Fu Le stretched out his palm and asked her earnestly.

"I am willing."

Having already prepared herself mentally, Artoria immediately extended her hand to Fu Le's, and their hands clasped together.

The next moment, a tightly linked contract was reached.

This also changed the relationship between Fu Le and Artoria.

Next, they will discuss the relationship between Master and Servant.

As the contract was reached, the magic between the two began to connect.

An immense amount of magic flowed towards Artoria through the connection between the two; this magic was unimaginably powerful.

After this power flowed into Artoria's body, a terrifying aura emanated from her, as if air pressure was being released outward from her center.

In the blink of an eye, Artoria underwent a dramatic transformation.

At this moment, she was like Black Saber in the Heaven's Feel route, corrupted by the Black Grail, possessing almost limitless magical power.

For these Servants, the boost that powerful magical support provides to their combat abilities is unimaginable.

Especially Servants like Artoria who have the skill 'Magic Release'.

Artoria's magical release level has reached A level.

The so-called 'magic release' refers to the skill of enhancing one's weapons and body through magic.

In the future Fifth Holy Grail War, Artoria, who is physically weaker, was able to fight against monsters like Hercules head-on, which was also due to the fact that she greatly enhanced her physical abilities with magic.

However, if the 'Magic Release' is at a level of A, even a mere short stick will become a weapon with immense power.

Therefore, Artoria possesses an extremely strong talent for converting her host's magic power into combat power.

Just like Rider Medusa, who received unlimited magical support from Matou Sakura in the Heaven's Feel route, she also showed an extremely outstanding performance due to her abundant magical power.

However, her performance was merely due to having an excellent Master, which allowed her to fully demonstrate her combat power.

She herself did not have the means to convert Matou Sakura's boundless magical power into combat power.

But Artoria has it.

That's why Fu Le initially considered Karna, a Lancer of exceptional talent.

His 'Magic Release (Flame)' can also transform Fu Le's magic into extremely powerful combat strength.

But that Karna would be too powerful; even Gilgamesh would be no match for him.

That kind of crushing victory was not what Fu Le wanted.

Therefore, he chose Caster, a class that allows him to convert his magical advantage into combat power without becoming overpowered.

But Artoria is different; Saber is the strongest class.

Her basic attributes are also extremely excellent.

In addition, there is Fu Le's enormous magical power and her excellent ability to convert magical power into combat power.

This made her an exceptional Servant, just like Gilgamesh before her, immediately after becoming Fule's Servant.

And that's exactly what Fu Le needs.

After all, if Artoria doesn't break through the rules, she will have a really hard time fighting Iskandar, who has the army of kings.

After all, Iskandar himself was an exceptional individual.

He was simply completely outmaneuvered by Gilgamesh.

Apart from Gilgamesh, none of the Servants who appeared in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars were his match.

Even Artoria and Hercules are not an option.

After all, the army of Iskandar summoned by the King was not just a bunch of grunts.

There are many Servants in it who are even more powerful than Iskandar.

After all, Iskandar's empire fragmented after his death, leading many of his subordinates to become founders of new dynasties.

As is well known, a kingdom is usually at its strongest and most powerful when it is first established.

It is also the most essential part of this country.

This demonstrates just how powerful and renowned the generals under Iskandar were.

Therefore, it would be virtually impossible for an individual to break through the royal army of Iskandar with sheer martial prowess.

That's why Fu Le said that Iskandar himself is an exceptional existence within the Holy Grail War system.

Perhaps in another parallel world of FGO where Servants are powerful, Iskandar might not perform as well as exceptionally strong individuals like Gilgamesh and Karna.

After all, the monsters there are not ones that can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

However, within this Holy Grail system, his ability to summon tens of thousands of Servants makes him an undeniably exceptional being.

After all, if you put yourself in Artoria's shoes, and if Artoria had such an ability to summon the Knights of the Round Table to fight, you would clearly understand the power of the King's Army.

That's absolutely insane!

Therefore, if Artoria doesn't break through some of her limitations, she simply won't be able to fight against Gilgamesh and Iskandar.

However, if Artoria had a scabbard, that would be a different story.

After all, the scabbard can defend against more than just a Noble Phantasm like Ea.

Its inherent healing ability also enables Artoria to single-handedly fight against thousands of troops.

Therefore, Fu Le will also need to retrieve her sword sheath from Emiya Kiritsugu later.

However, for now, Fu Le needs to arrange for Medea to treat Irisviel in order to reassure Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Caster, it's your turn."

"Yes, Master."

Medea walked to the car that Kiritsugu Emiya had driven. In the back seat, Maiya Hisau was sitting there supporting Irisviel's body.

Upon hearing Fu Le's words, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly walked to the car.

Even Artoria awoke from feeling her newfound power and quickly moved behind Medea.

Seeing this, Medea reached out a finger and gently touched Irisviel's body. Under Medea's magical control, Irisviel's body floated up, then floated out of the car and followed Medea's figure into the depths of the Matou residence.

Their transaction took place at the Matou residence.

After all, the Holy Grail War is now over, and Fu Le and Medea no longer need to fabricate the location of their true base.

At this point, Medea needs to heal Irisviel, so she naturally needs to go to the corresponding special secret room.

During her time living in the Matou residence, Medea also established her own magic workshop there.

After making a promise to Kiritsugu Emiya, Fu Le, who believed that Kiritsugu Emiya would definitely come, had Medea make the necessary preparations in her magic workshop.

This means that Irisviel's recovery will be very rapid.

"Master, Caster will definitely be able to heal Irisviel!"

Artoria asked, somewhat worried.

Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but look at Fu Le. Fu Le smiled upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, the success rate of this surgery is 100%, and there will absolutely be no accidents."

Fu Le's answer was extremely confident.

This was not only because he believed in Medea's methods, but also because there was a clone of Fu Le working in Medea's magic workshop.

So even if Medea has a problem, Fu Le's clone can cover for her.

Therefore, it's more accurate to say that Fu Le believed in himself rather than Medea.

Perhaps influenced by Fu Le's confidence, both Artoria and Kiritsugu Emiya breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the two trusted Fu Le's words more than ever before.

Artoria trusted Fu Le because of the immense magical power that flowed from Fu Le into her body.

That's magic that no human could possibly possess.

Especially after she made contact with Fu Le, she could sense some information about Fu Le by contacting her through this method.

It was a subtle, ever-present sense of oppression.

So even though the two had only just established contact, Artoria was already certain that Fu Le was definitely not an ordinary person.

He's probably very, very strong.

Because he was so very strong, Artoria believed that a strong person like him would not easily break his promise.

As for Kiritsugu Emiya, the reason he trusted Fu Le so much was because he believed Fu Le to be an extremely powerful individual.

Furthermore, he had not previously taken the lives of other participants.

After all, Fu Le was able to use illusion magic to let him see a so-called parallel world where there was no story of him or Fu Le.

He was practically revealing that he was someone who shouldn't exist.

As someone outside the so-called story, Kiritsugu Emiya finds this kind of high-class attitude terrifying.

He couldn't help but think of the so-called magicians.

In the Type-Moon universe, the status of a mage is still quite high.

In short, because of Fu Le's performance, both Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria trusted him a lot.

So while Medea was healing Irisviel, Fu Le invited the two of them to sit down in the hall.

Soon, Matou Kariya came over to serve tea and refreshments to Fu Raku and the guests, including Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Kariya, take Saber to choose a bedroom first. She's already our partner."

Fu Le gave instructions to Matou Kariya.

Although Artoria and Medea are both Servants, their physical structures are completely different.

Medea is a normal Servant, meaning she became a Heroic Spirit after her death.

Therefore, she was transformed into a spirit, because she has the so-called 'spiritization' ability.

But Artoria is different; she is an exception.

She did not die before becoming a Heroic Spirit, so she became a Heroic Spirit in her living form, and therefore what was summoned to her is her original form.

This results in her lacking the ability to 'spiritize' compared to other Servants, so she always stays by her Master's side.

Furthermore, unlike other Servants, she does not need to eat, as she possesses a physical body.

Artoria needs to eat, that is, to eat.

And she has a particularly good appetite.

Not only does she like to eat, but she can eat a lot.

And coincidentally, his Master Shirou Emiya during the Fifth Holy Grail War was a cook.

Having conquered King Arthur's stomach, she naturally gained his complete loyalty.

Therefore, given Artoria's special circumstances, Fu Le wanted to treat her as a normal person.

So he asked Matou Kariya to arrange a room for her.

As for why Artoria also wanted to go, it was naturally because Fu Le wanted to talk to Kiritsugu Emiya about things that Artoria didn't know.

When Artoria went upstairs with Matou Kariya, Fu Le said to Emiya Kiritsugu, "Although Lady Irisviel's treatment is not over yet, I think my character has already earned Mr. Emiya's trust, right?"

"Of course, I do trust Mr. Fu Le very much."

Seeing this, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately leaned closer.

He sensed that Fu Le had something to say to him.

"In that case, there is one more deal I would like to make with you, Mr. Emiya."

"Please say!"

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded slightly.

Although he pretended to be listening to the questions first, he knew very well that he had no ability to refuse Fu Le at the moment.

After all, his Servant was now in Fu Le's hands, his wife was still lying on the operating table being treated by the other party's Servant, and he was in the other party's magic field. In his opinion, the other party was still an invincible big shot.

In this situation, what grounds can he use to object?
So even though he looked like that, Kiritsugu Emiya was mentally prepared.

He would agree to whatever conditions Fu Le proposed.

"Now that you've decided to abandon the Holy Grail War, this is clearly not what the Einzbern family wants to see. Under these circumstances, it should be very difficult for you to bring your child, Ilya, out of the Einzbern family, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya's pupils constricted sharply.

He had been thinking about this for a while.

After all, he has now given up participating in the Holy Grail War and even abandoned his long-cherished wish to choose his wife.

Then it's impossible for him to abandon the child, or abandon Ilya.

But the problem is how he can get Ilya out of the Einzbern family.

With the Einzbern family's millennia-old, solid magical stronghold, even with Irisviel's help, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't possibly break it.

Since the Einzbern family dared to let him bring Irisviel out, they naturally weren't worried that they would rebel.

Although Kiritsugu Emiya reversed his fate in "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya", he is definitely different now than he was back then. One of the differences is his Servant, namely Artoria.

Artoria must have put in a lot of effort in that time and space.

Otherwise, the two of them alone would not have been able to overthrow the Einzbern family.

How can I get your help?

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately replied.

Clearly, Fu Le is the only one who can help him now.

Fu Le was also satisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's answer. He chuckled and said, "I need the relic that Einzbern used to summon Saber, which is the scabbard that King Arthur lost."

"can!"

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately agreed.

After all, the scabbard was really of no use to him.

Even if he had the choice, he would choose his daughter over the sword sheath.
