Raising the invisible sword in her hand, she suddenly burst into action!

Her A-rank agility allowed her to reach Diarmuid at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the invisible sword swung straight down towards his head!

"So fast!"

Although caught off guard, his B-rank inherent skills [Mind's Eye (True)] and [Knight's Strategy] allowed him to react quickly and immediately engage in battle with Artoria. The two moved so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye of an ordinary person to see what was happening in their fight.

"This is the battle of the Heroic Spirits."

Irisviel, standing behind Saber, couldn't help but gasp softly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Qiu, standing on a high place, opened his Sharingan and looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was half-lying on the roof, and couldn't help but smile.

A bursting insect flew rapidly past him toward Kiritsugu Emiya. He was now brimming with magical energy and could give Kiritsugu a huge surprise.

"Kiritsugu Emiya, I hope you will like this wonderful gift I have given you."

After saying that, Shen Qiu quickly ran towards Kenneth's location, the man who, like others, seemed to be "remotely controlling the situation" from the rooftop and acting as the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware that he had been mistaken for the mantis by two different people.

"Master, Assassin is in your hands now. Can you handle him without using magic? If you can't, I'll allow you to escape." Shen Qiu said somewhat provocatively to his master, who had materialized into a spirit form.

"My little Master, may I take what you said to me as disrespect?"

"However—we'll discuss how to punish you after this battle is over."

Scáthach felt quite comfortable with her nominal Master, and in fact, she always preferred men much younger than herself; another blue Lancer was a victim of this.

As the master appeared, a deafening explosion followed.

"what!"

For a moment, both Artoria and Diarmuid were startled by the explosion. However, Diarmuid recovered faster than her. His B-rank innate skill, Knight's Martial Strategy, came into play at this moment. He gripped the yellow magic spear in his right hand and lunged forward, aiming directly at Artoria's spirit core!

"A huge explosion occurred nearby, and it seems that Lancer has gained the upper hand in the battle. The source of the explosion has not yet been found..." Inside the Tohsaka family's magic workshop, Kirei Kotomine, who has the ability to empathize with Assassin, was meticulously reporting the latest battle situation to his master, Tokiomi Tohsaka.

The next moment, Hassan, wearing the bone mask, should have been grateful for his sharp intuition as an Assassin and his A-rank agility, as a crimson magic spear shot straight towards him! The owner of that magic spear was none other than Scáthach, who had already transformed her magic robes into a black combat suit!

However, merely dodging this one magic spear wasn't enough; another magic spear immediately fell, forcing Hassan to use his wrist to block it, with the inevitable result.

With a scream, one of his arms was severed by his master. Hassan's mere D-rank durability was like paper against his master's B-rank strength and superb martial arts.

"Someone spotted Assassin and attacked him!"

"The Tohsaka family's magic workshop," Kirei Kotomine said with a serious expression. Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had been calmly sipping his red wine, was also stunned. He had gone to great lengths to put on a show with Archer and Assassin, only to have it discovered like this.

You should know that after the Masters fail, they have to seek refuge with the Church of the Holy See. It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Church of the Holy See is colluding with the Tohsaka family!

For a moment, both the priest and Shichen seemed at a loss. What exactly went wrong that allowed them to be exposed so quickly?

Chapter 11: The Night of the Heroic Spirits' Battle (Part Two)

In Kenneth's blind spot, where he couldn't see, Shen Qiu was rushing towards him at top speed.

He gently stroked the Azure Wave Bracelet on his right hand, and five jet-black crescent-shaped water blades shot towards Kenneth's location! This was the magic he had stored in the bracelet beforehand: [Dark Water Blade - Erosion].

The Dark Water Blade, imbued with a corrosive effect, now possesses the properties of a B-rank magic. It retains not only its extremely high attack speed and instantaneous damage, but also causes rapid corrosion to any area touched by the Dark Water Blade. It is truly a deadly weapon.

"Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters."

Shen Qiu opened his eyes wide, his Sharingan in his right eye spinning rapidly. But unfortunately, when the Dark Water Blade was three meters away from Kenneth, a thick silver liquid quickly formed at his feet and then turned into a wall, blocking all the Dark Water Blades coming from behind Kenneth.

The Dark Water Blade, after being slightly embedded in the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, could no longer advance and turned into a puddle of water, falling to the ground.

"who!"

Kenneth was shocked to see the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid's automatic defense activated. Who could possibly leave no trace under the perception of a magician like him?

"After all, it's only a B-rank instantaneous magic. Is it too difficult to assassinate Kenneth with this move?" Shen Qiu sighed and slowly appeared. He was wearing a black cloak and a black mask, looking like a shadow in the night.

"Where did this third-rate magician come from, resorting to assassination to fight?"

Upon seeing Shen Qiu appear, Kenneth mocked him mercilessly. In the original story, Kenneth was arrogant and conceited, looking down on all magicians except himself during the Holy Grail War.

Hearing Kenneth's words, Shen Qiu suddenly understood why he had died so tragically. This guy was not only incredibly sarcastic, but also extremely sharp-tongued.

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

Shen Qiu changed his voice, and at this moment his voice was like the deep sea ice that never melts.

“I wasn’t planning on killing you—but now I’ve changed my mind.”

"Let your blood begin the Holy Grail War!"

At this moment, Shen Qiu felt as if the blood in his body was about to burn. He had been preparing intensively for more than half a year, sleeping only four hours a day during that time, and enduring hardship by the side of that disgusting old man, Matou Zouken, learning that obscure and difficult magic tricks again and again.

All of this was for the Holy Grail War that began today. Even though it was a sham war, so what? He just wanted to survive by any means necessary! Behind him, a giant water bird, growing larger and larger, slowly emerged.

on the other side.

Scáthach watched Hassan, whose leg had been pierced by her spear, writhe on the ground with a cold expression, and without hesitation, she stabbed him again, despite Hassan's terrified expression!

"Besides the Servants we already have, there are four more: Saber, Rider, Berserker, and Caster. We can currently determine that the girl fighting Lancer is Saber. After excluding Caster, who is not good at close combat, we are left with Rider and Berserker."

Inside the Tohsaka family's magic workshop, Kirei Kotomine was analyzing the situation with a serious expression.

"Rider and Berserker? Although that's what you call them, they actually look more like Lancer. Father, have there ever been two Lancers in the Holy Grail Wars?"

Tokitomi Tohsaka asked Kotomine Risei with some unease. Things had developed to this point, completely exceeding his plans and expectations. The sudden appearance of this powerful Sevent only intensified his anxiety.

Assassin couldn't even last five rounds against this female spearman. Although she was just one of more than eighty clones, the huge difference in strength still shocked him.

"There is no record of this in the Holy Grail War archives of the Holy Church. Otherwise, if even the three riders could be summoned in such a way, then the Holy Grail War would have no rules whatsoever."

"That's good." As if he had heard good news, Shi Chen took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

Ironically, this Holy Grail War had no rules whatsoever, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was one of those who trampled on those rules.

"Damn it, I didn't expect to be exposed so easily. Your martial arts are so high, you must not be an unknown figure in history."

Artoria said breathlessly, and if you looked closely, you could see a faint black aura on his right hand.

In a moment of carelessness, Diarmuid launched a swift attack. The attack was originally aimed at Artoria's spirit core, but thanks to her A-rank intuition, she managed to dodge the near-fatal blow. As the price, her right wrist was injured instead.

At this point, Diarmuid no longer underestimated her and began to take her seriously.

"Are you trying to trick me into revealing my real name? I'm not the kind of person who acts rashly without thinking."

Chapter Twelve: The Night of the Heroic Spirits' Battle (Part Three)

“Fervor, meisanguis” (Boil, my blood!)

Accompanied by Latin chanting, the lunar marrow beside Kenneth transformed into a gigantic whip-like object.

This 140-kilogram magical mercury represents Kenneth's greatest achievement in magic. The Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, which combines attack, defense, and automatic target acquisition, is, in a sense, a perfect magic trick.

"You charlatan magician who came out of nowhere, prepare to face the wrath of me—Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the ninth head of the Archibald family and one of the twelve Lords of the Clock Tower!"

"Too much nonsense."

Shen Qiu mocked mercilessly. As soon as he finished speaking, a huge explosion came from the warehouse under Kenneth's feet, turning the roof where Kenneth was standing into ruins.

Keep in mind that Moon Spirit Essence Liquid doesn't grant the ability to fly. Falling from such a height, even Kenneth probably wouldn't be in good shape.

Exploding bugs are truly excellent weapons for killing and arson, and due to their characteristics, they are difficult to prevent—after all, who cares about an inconspicuous bug?

"He has good strength, but unfortunately he is brave but lacks strategy."

Shen Qiu jumped onto a giant bird formed from solidified water, which carried him to the ground—he could be said to have mastered the basic manipulations of water magic to perfection.

"You guy..."

Kenneth looked at the somewhat short magician in front of him with a grim expression. Even with the protection of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, falling from such a height was by no means a pleasant experience.

“Scalp!”

As Kenneth gave the order, the magical mercury enveloping him swiftly transformed into a massive fan-shaped blade, mercilessly slashing down at Shen Qiu. Under the powerful attack of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, even a B-grade magical defense could not escape being cleaved in two with a single strike.

"The Touch of Eroding Water!"

Without needing any magic incantation, Shen Qiu only needed to wave his hand to activate the automatic magic of the Azure Wave Bracelet. A large amount of dark water transformed into two giant palms with Shen Qiu's thoughts, catching the rushing Moon Spirit Essence Liquid as if catching a blade with bare hands. For a moment, a stalemate was achieved.

"what!"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Kenneth couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. As a color magician, he naturally knew how much talent it would take to master this kind of water magic.

How could he, who had been the pride of his family since childhood, accept that this unorthodox magician, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, would repeatedly exceed his expectations?

“Kenneth, you better pray your Lancer can withstand attacks from two Sevents at the same time.”

"Otherwise, tonight will surely be your death night."

Shen Qiu slowly raised his left hand, which displayed the Command Seals that originally belonged to Matou Kariya. The Command Seals on his right hand had been covered by his master's [Concealment] magic.

Unless a magician like Gemstone Onzeer Richie is present, Shen Qiu doesn't believe anyone can see through the Command Seal on his right hand.

On the other side of the battlefield, a black-clad knight suddenly appeared from nowhere, followed closely by Matou Kariya.

Facing Diarmuid, Lancelot slashed down with the Unyielding Lake Light in his hand. Unlike in the original story, this time he chose Diarmuid as his enemy!
