The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The situation is extremely dangerous, and I must make a decision, otherwise, if the other side really catches up with me, I'm afraid I'll really be doomed.

How to do?

How to do it?

As Matou Kariya fled, he kept thinking of a plan.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with a solution.

Am I going to fall for this girl today?

Is it possible that I am ultimately unable to save them?

Not reconciled!

Not reconciled!

As Matou Kariya ran desperately, he tried to think of a way to escape, but the more he thought about it, the more desperate and helpless he felt.

"I am Matou Kariya, the eldest son of the Matou family! Don't hurt me! Whatever you want, our family can grant your request. I can help you win, as long as you spare me!" Matou Kariya shouted.

He loathed his family his whole life, yet he had no choice but to rely on them.

But Sabar did not answer him; instead, he continued to pursue him.

Matou Kariya gritted his teeth. He dared not hesitate any longer. He decided to take the risk and try it. Although his body could not bear such a huge burden, at least he could give himself a chance to survive.

In an instant, a powerful energy suddenly erupted from Matou Kariya's body; an extremely violent force surged wildly within him.

This power is the origin of Matou Kariya, the energy source of his body, and the extremely strange magic circuit of the Matou family.

This energy was extremely powerful. Its appearance caused the already crumbling body to mutate again. Cracks began to appear on his body, and pieces of flesh fell off.

Immediately afterwards, countless flying insects emerged from between the skin and flesh and flew over.

Seeing this, Sabar dared not ignore the flying insects and hurriedly drew his sword.

He slashed at the flying insects, but these insects seemed to have a mind of their own, scattering and dodging whenever they saw Sabar's slash coming, without colliding with him at all.

However, Sabar was also an extremely skilled swordsman. Seeing that the flying insects dared not approach him, he immediately raised his sword and swept it horizontally, instantly cutting one of the insects in half at the waist.

But at that moment, a second, extremely powerful burst of energy erupted from Matou Kariya's body. This energy was several times stronger than the previous one, which caused Sabar's attack to not only fail to break the severed arm, but also to knock him back several meters.

"Damn it, what is this thing? How can it release such a huge amount of energy, and it even has such a powerful energy source!"

Sabar, witnessing the Matou family's bizarre magic for the first time, frowned, then suddenly swung his sword several times, wiping out the flying insects.

After the flying insects left, she looked closely and found that the man had already escaped far away amidst the chaos.

"Berserker's Master!"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of talking to him, Sabar had no choice but to stop chasing and call out slowly.

Perhaps because he heard Sabar's call, Matou Kariya stopped in his tracks.

"If possible, I hope you can hold on until the end. I hope to break things off with Lancelot."

Sabar began to explain her vision, but Kariya Matou showed no intention of listening and dashed into the deserted streets and alleys without a word...

disappeared.

At the site of the duel, Kiana is watching a group of strangely dressed people clean up the scene.

These guys were dressed in black overcoats and black trousers, their faces seemingly veiled, making it impossible to discern their identities.

"Are these the people responsible for covering up the war?"

Staring at the group of people in front of her, Kiana had this question in her mind.

From a professional standpoint, these people are incredibly skilled.

In a matter of moments, they quickly and efficiently erased all traces of the Holy Grail War.

However, it must be said that the way the matter was handled was remarkably decisive and efficient.

It's hard not to wonder, if they wanted to deal with people...would it be this easy?

Are you still there?

Just as Kiana was lost in thought, Sabar finally returned.

"After all, the result of the duel is not yet in, how can I, as the referee, just wander around?"

Kiana smiled and answered, then asked, "Sabar, did you take care of that man?"

"He got away."

Sabar shook his head, then spread his hands, stating righteously and solemnly:

"And I will not attack my Master before I have settled the score with Lancelot."

"is it?"

Kiana wanted to remind Sabar that doing so wasn't actually against the rules, and was arguably the best and simplest way to resolve the battle.

But she understood Sabar and knew that such a self-disciplined person would never do such a thing to achieve his goal.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have reacted that way after witnessing Kiritsugu's decisive method.

"Well, Sabar, I may have to tell you something very unfortunate."

"Go ahead."

Sabar stated this with a solemn expression.

"Your duel with Lancelot is inconclusive. If you wish to determine who won, you can find him and finish him off."

As the referee, Kiana gave a fairly fair judgment.

Although Sabar was just a hair's breadth away from taking down Lancelot.

But once someone runs away, they've run away. In the Holy Grail War, as long as one side isn't completely dead, it doesn't mean the war is over for that side.

Therefore, Sabar must also understand one thing.

If Matou Kariya were to return, she would have no chance of winning without her Master providing magical power.

“Sabar, I suggest you go back.”

Kiana offered this suggestion.

"call..."

Sabar did not reply.

He simply extended his hand slowly, as if wanting to shake hands with Kiana.

Looking at the hand of the armored knight extended in front of her, Kiana hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and shook it.

At the same time, Sabar gave a friendly smile.

"Thank you, Kiana."

"You don't need to be so polite. After all, we are both players in the Holy Grail War. It's just that our positions are different, but that doesn't mean we have to be enemies."

Kiana smiled slightly and explained, "At least on the premise of ensuring fairness."

"hehe..."

Sabar smiled, then his smile faded as he said, "Kiana, you're right, but some things can't be changed. Besides, you and I aren't on the same path, so we're destined not to be able to cooperate completely. You need to understand that."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Sabar's words, Kiana felt a surge of unease.

She knew this, and Sabar made it very clear to her.

"Well then, Sabar, let's go our separate ways."

"Take care of yourself."

Sabar smiled calmly, then got on his motorcycle and rode away.

Seeing that she had already left, Kiana had no reason to stay in this troublesome place any longer, so she leaped up and left.

As Kiana flew away, Sabar, who was speeding off on his motorcycle, suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"I'm sorry, being with me... might put you in danger."

Over the course of their time together, Sabar came to the conclusion that Kiana was a very respectable friend.

She had begun to truly accept this friend with whom she could get along.

That's why Sabar told her this information, hoping she could avoid danger.

Kiana, of course, understood Sabar's good intentions.

"I will be in no danger."

"You do indeed have great potential. I believe you will soon achieve something, and at that time, you will become the most dazzling presence in this Holy Grail War..."

This is Kiana's self-assessment before she left.

"Perhaps she overestimated me."

A slight smile curved Sabar's lips before he quickly disappeared into the night on his motorcycle.

After many battles and various unexpected events, the moonlit night has become even more profound.

Kiana soared high in the sky, looking down at Fuyuki City under the night sky.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Fuyuki City in Ilya's world feels so much gentler."

And Fuyuki City in this world... seems to harbor many hidden dangers...

"Hahahaha!"

As arrogant laughter rang out, countless magical artifacts suddenly shot down from the clouds.

Seeing that things were not going well, Kiana immediately changed her posture and fled to the other side.

"Boom!"

Countless Noble Phantasms brushed past the spot where Kiana had just been standing.
