Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"How's Ruler doing?"

Lancer questioned Fiore, who was reporting from her wheelchair, about how sending Arthur to probe the Red Team's strength was not his idea, but he didn't comment much on Danic's actions.

Dealing with Arthur was inherently difficult. He was neither in his faction nor under his command; they were equals, and Lancer could not issue orders to him.

Even instructing him through his Master would be disrespectful to King Arthur.

But Darnic is different. Darnic is not only a Master, but also the leader of the Yggdrasilia clan, and the magician who pulled Shirou Emiya into the Black Faction. He has the ability to urge Shirou Emiya to act.

Therefore, he could only leave the handling of a force like King Arthur to Danic, and Lancer would not stop it unless it was an extremely outrageous decision.

"Uncle Gold has already been sent to meet him, so it shouldn't be long before we encounter Ruler in this Holy Grail War."

"It would be better if we could incorporate him into our forces. Even if we can't persuade Ruler, we hope he can maintain the fairness of this Holy Grail War."

At this moment, two cameras are suspended above the entire hall, one following Gorde and the other following Emiya Shirou.

"They probably already had the intention of abandoning us by simply sending me and my Master to the enemy's main base."

Arthur knew what kind of situation he was about to face. Even he wasn't confident that he could face seven Heroic Spirits at the same time, and he might not even be able to protect his Master's safety.

So when Arthur heard about Danic's arrangements for Shirou Emiya, his first thought was to refuse.

But then they realized that if they refused, they would be directly hostile to the Black side, and the next second after refusing, they would probably be surrounded.

Furthermore, even if the homunculus were to remove the magical energy it provided to him, with Shirou Emiya's magical support, Arthur would have no chance of defeating the Black Faction's Heroic Spirit.

However, it all depends on his Master's decision. If Shirou Emiya decides to refuse, then he will not hesitate to do everything he can to take Shirou Emiya away.

“I know, but we don’t have the right to refuse, do we? Besides, I also want to meet the Red Team’s Heroic Spirits and Masters.”

Emiya answered Arthur helplessly. They both knew very well that they had no right to refuse the Black faction's proposal. If they refused, they could only rely on their meager magical power to support Arthur in the battle.

Danic didn't unlock the remaining magic circuits for Shirou Emiya; rather, he simply didn't want to improve Shirou Emiya's strength.

However, the only saving grace is that this is not a completely terrible thing, and Shirou Emiya is also somewhat eager to see the Red Team's Servants.

“If they were just ordinary Heroic Spirits, Saber, you could face several at the same time.”

As Emiya headed towards the church, he asked Arthur a question. Emiya hadn't experienced the Holy Grail War and wasn't a traditional mage, so how could he possibly have his own insights into the strength of Servants?

"Ordinary Heroic Spirits? I'm not really sure either; I can only be sure once I see them."

Arthur pondered for a moment, but he couldn't quite understand what the level of what magicians called ordinary heroic spirits actually meant.

Those who can be called Heroic Spirits all have their own unique strengths, and even the weakest Assassin, Arthur, would not guarantee that he could completely defeat him.

Sigishwara, Church Office.

Under the bright moonlight, a young boy appeared to be kneeling here, praying with utmost devotion.

The moonlight, like crystal-clear water, shimmered and cascaded over him.

The boy had dark skin and white hair, and was dressed in very standard priest's clothing.

At that moment, an extremely alluring voice rang out from the air beside him.

"Master, we have a guest."

Upon hearing these words, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with pity for the world.

"guest?"

He slowly stood up and murmured softly.

On such a night, he certainly knew what his servant meant when he told his guest, since the red team's servants had all been summoned, and the only ones who could come at this time were the black team's servants.

"That's really surprising."

He had only just sent Lancer out to ambush Ruler when the Black Faction sent a Servant to his doorstep.

In his memory, if it were that person, they wouldn't have acted so rashly. After all, they had endured sixty years, and they couldn't possibly be in such a hurry.

"Let Archer and Rider entertain the guests who have come from afar."

He smiled slightly and looked up at the bright moon in the darkness.

Chapter 121 Fighting Together

Like the castle of the Yggdmillennia clan, the church was built deep in the forest, surrounded by dense woods, making it extremely secluded.

Although everyone tacitly knew the location of their respective factions, they still pretended to set up their strongholds deep in the forest.

Two dark figures flashed through the extremely dense forest surrounding the church located on the mountain.

"I never imagined that an enemy would be so foolish as to infiltrate our base alone."

An extremely arrogant voice came from a dark figure, a young man with delicate features, a leisurely smile, and green hair.

He moved through the intricate forest at an incredible speed, seemingly oblivious to its surroundings.

His tone revealed deep disdain for the intruder.

"Don't be careless. To be able to break in all by yourself like this, you must have absolute confidence in your own strength. Apart from the irrational Berserker, don't underestimate any Heroic Spirit from any era."

"Besides, aren't you capable of infiltrating the enemy camp alone and emerging unscathed?"

Beside the green-haired male figure stood a girl dressed in emerald green, with sharp, beast-like eyes, her hair flowing freely down her back, exuding an aura of wildness and nature.

The girl had a pair of animal ears on her head and a tail on her back, making her look like a humanoid beast, yet she possessed an extraordinary beauty.

"Indeed, but this only fuels my desire to fight that Servant even more."

The green-haired man did not refute the girl's statement; as she said, he was absolutely confident in his own abilities.

His eyes burned with an extremely fierce fighting spirit.

"Big sister, I'll go ahead and meet that servant!"

An extremely terrifying power erupted from the soles of his feet, and his entire figure transformed into a green light and disappeared into the forest.

A few seconds later, the sonic booms finally arrived.

"Δρομευ? Κομητη? (comet running method)"

The girl murmured to herself, referring to the Noble Phantasm that the green-haired Servant had materialized from the legend of "the fastest of all heroes of all ages."

Even she would have a hard time keeping up with that speed, because it wasn't just his speed, but a Noble Phantasm that he manifested.

However, there's no need for her to chase after them. As an Archer, what she should be doing now is providing remote support, not rushing in to fight the Servants at close range.

"Master, do you really want to act with me?"

Arthur looked at his Master, Shirou Emiya, with great concern. He had originally planned to go to the church himself and have Shirou wait in the room at the foot of the mountain.

But Shirou Emiya completely disagreed with his proposal.

"I have no way of knowing what's going on with you. If something unusual happens there, even with Command Seals, I can't provide you with any support."

Arthur completely agrees with this point. As a magician, Shirou Emiya only knows projection magic and enhancement magic, and he can't even create familiars.

The Yggdrasilia clan did not provide him with a familiar, so if Arthur were to engage in battle, Shirou Emiya would have no idea what the specific situation would be like.

“But it’s too dangerous for you to come with me. I don’t have the confidence to protect Master during battle.”

If it were just a one-man army, Arthur wouldn't hesitate to take Shirou Emiya with him to the church.

However, they don't know how many Servants they will encounter on this journey. Even Arthur doesn't know if he can survive among them, let alone the Master who has come with him.

If Assassin were to ambush his Master while he was fighting the other Servants, Arthur would have absolutely no time to react.

"No, Saber, even if I stay here, it's not necessarily safe."

Emiya Shirou refuted Arthur, arguing that since it was a stronghold of the Yggdrasilia clan, all its locations were under surveillance.

As the headquarters of the Magicians' Association, wouldn't it be subject to such surveillance?

It is highly likely that they were detected as soon as they entered Sighishwara.

Leaving the Master alone here is indeed not as good as bringing him with you.

Perhaps when they are surrounded, they can lend a helping hand to their Master, but if their Master is ambushed while they are fighting on the front lines, they can only rely on the power of Command Seals.

In the end, the two of them still went to the Red Team's base camp together.

"it is good!"

After much hesitation, Arthur finally agreed to Shirou Emiya's decision, since there was no other way.

"Trace on!"

"【Possessed by Evil Spirits】!"

"[Murasame]!"

"【Thousand Transformations (Cross Tail)】【Sword Form】!"

In an instant, three weapons appeared in front of Emiya Shirou.

"these are?"

Arthur asked Emiya Shirou.

"It's a means of self-defense. I can't just go there unprepared. If they attack, wouldn't that distract you, Saber?"

As Shirou Emiya spoke, a suit of armor quickly appeared on his body. After the sword made of silk threads disappeared from his hand, he immediately picked up Murasame.

This is Emiya's strongest form for now. The demonic possession provides defense, the Murasame strike is fatal, and the ever-changing forms allow Emiya to more precisely investigate the surrounding environment.

Almost forgot, because Emiya himself has very little magical energy, although Darnic did not intend to help Emiya open the other magic circuits, he did have the android provide magical support to Emiya Shirou.

Therefore, Emiya is not currently short of mana and can use it freely.

He then projected these three Imperial Arms to the best of his ability.

After the enhancement of his markings, Emiya was able to easily control the pressure exerted on his body by the three Imperial Arms.

It's a pity he only has one arm now. If he had his right hand, he might have projected the "Severing of All Things (Soul-Destroying)" technique. Although it was a two-handed weapon, he could have carried it on his back.

If necessary, one can switch weapons with the one in hand, but now that there is only one hand, it is very inconvenient to switch weapons.

"Let's go, Master, the enemy is here!"
