Abnormal Moon

If she escapes with Roy, the corrupted Saber will inevitably target Roy and the others in order to hunt her down.

This will involve Roy.

It didn't matter to anyone else, but Ilya didn't care.

Rin Tohsaka, Bazett, and the like, they're dead, so be it.

But she didn't want to drag Roy into unnecessary trouble.

and.

Rather than running away, she would rather fight alongside Berserker to the very end.

"Then we'll have to resort to brute force."

Roy sighed.

He could sense Ilya's kindness towards him.

Then we absolutely cannot let her die here.

As he spoke, Roy began to inscribe runes on his hands.

The drawing was slow, as if deliberately giving her time to react.

"you really!"

Ilya glared at him angrily.

Seeing that Roy didn't seem to be faking it, she had no choice but to temporarily stop using her magic to provide support and draw out the thin thread she carried with her.

Silver threads crisscrossed, gradually outlining a complex silhouette in front of her, as if simulating the remains of a creature.

"You shouldn't have used magic."

As he spoke, Roy's eyes changed color, and a dazzling gem-like light shone forth.

"Magic Eye?!"

Ilya was taken aback.

"How could you possibly possess such a magical eye?"

In the instant she was surprised, the silver threads in front of her suddenly broke free of their original shape and, like an octopus, wrapped around her body, tightly binding her limbs.

"Wait, Roy, let me go!"

"I reject."

Roy smiled slightly.

He reached out and placed his palm on Ilya's head.

"Berserker."

Suddenly.

In the midst of the battlefield, Berserker, who was fighting a desperate battle with the corrupted Saber, faltered and was seized by the corrupted Saber to be kicked away.

Inside the castle, Ilya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why were you able to intervene between me and Berserker? And how could you communicate with Berserker telepathically?"

"After all, it's just a technique."

Roy smiled dismissively.

The voice continued to be inserted between Ilya and Berserker.

"I'm here to save Ilya. I'll take her away now. You buy us some time and hold out as long as possible."

"Wait a minute, don't listen to him, Berserker!"

"Roar--!!"

On the battlefield, Berserker suddenly let out a deafening roar.

Like a marathon runner sprinting the final leg, his muscles turned bright red as if overloaded, as if he had inexhaustible energy, and he charged towards the corrupted Saber.

Its power has increased by three points.

"As expected of Uncle B, who's a lolicon, I give you a thumbs up!"

Roy nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the screaming Ilya was handed over to Okita Souji, and the two of them rushed out of the castle together.

"I mean, you actually came to rescue Illyasviel!"

On the way, they ran into Rin Tohsaka, who was looking for Roy. She stared at Roy with disbelief.

She couldn't understand why this person would take such a big risk to save Illya when they clearly had no power to fight against the corrupted Saber.

"Rin is here too?"

When Illya saw Rin Tohsaka, she also had a sullen expression.

"Should we join forces?"

The situation had already occurred, and there was nothing Rin Tohsaka could do about it. She sighed as if trying to revive her own brain and looked at Illya.

"If the three of us Servants join forces, we should be able to fight against the corrupted Saber, right?"

Ilya's eyes flickered; this was indeed a method.

She certainly didn't want Berserker to die here in vain.

"Speaking of which, I suggest you give up, Rin."

At that moment, Red A suddenly interrupted.

"There's a Servant reacting ahead, their aura is chaotic, it's probably the corrupted Berserker. Although this is just my guess, he might be an ambush planted here by the corrupted Saber."

The group was fleeing in the opposite direction of the castle, which was Fuyuki City.

As a result, Red A's words caused several people to suddenly come to a screeching halt.

Roy slapped his forehead and gave a wry smile.

See, Saber's tactics have definitely become more formidable.

She probably thought Ilya might escape to Fuyuki City, which has a barrier against exorcism, so she specially arranged for the corrupted Berserker to block the way between the castle and Fuyuki City.

In this way, neither going forward nor backward is feasible.

Moving forward, you will inevitably encounter the corrupted Berserker.

If we were to intervene in the battle between Berserker and Black Saber, and they were to start a three-on-one fight, then the corrupted Berserker would most likely also come to the rescue, turning the situation into a three-on-two.

Chapter 48 Running Around

"In that case, let's bypass the corrupted Berserker and sneak back to town from the left or right!"

"Good strategy, but unfortunately, he spotted me just as I spotted him, and now he's charging this way like a mad dog."

"You didn't tell me earlier!"

Rin Tohsaka roared in anger.

"Archer, go and hold off the corrupted Berserker now, give us time to escape!"

"Oh dear, am I alone?"

"We'll return to the city as quickly as possible. Once we're inside the exorcism barrier, I'll use a Command Spell to summon you back!"

The spirit-repelling barrier in Fuyuki City allows spirits to leave but not enter.

Moreover, although this barrier was built by Zelrich, it was built on the foundation of the Fuyuki City spiritual vein, using the spiritual vein as its energy source—no one knows why Zelrich, who clearly has infinite magic power, would build a barrier like this.

Naturally, it was Rin Tohsaka who controlled this exorcising barrier.

Only Rin Tohsaka can control this barrier to let in spirits from outside.

This is her greatest source of confidence as mayor, and it's also what the association's branches envy the most.

None of the old fogies in the association's branch want to take control of the exorcism barrier from Rin Tohsaka, but so far they haven't succeeded.

Therefore, although theoretically even if spatial transfer occurs, it would only be bounced off by the barrier, as long as Rin Tohsaka manipulates it, she can summon Archer back within the barrier.

“Saber, please stay and help out.”

"I understand."

Roy also gave orders to Okita Souji.

"Thanks, that will reduce the pressure a lot."

Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's better for two Servants to team up than for only one to remain.

"No, this was originally my fault too."

Roy shook his head.
