In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"Then let's retreat for now."

Saber kept a watchful eye on Rider and Archer, who had been observing from the start. She had just unleashed her Noble Phantasm; they probably wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

If it were just her, it would be fine, but Irisviel is still here.

Sabe prioritizes protecting Irisviel's safety over winning!

Chapter 224 Matou Kariya: Mo Zai is such a good person!

"That is the legendary King of Knights..."

The princess was so frightened that she was completely paralyzed in the chariot, her mouth wide open but unable to make a sound.

The true name of that sword, that Noble Phantasm, is something that any magician with even a slight understanding of magic would never mistake.

no doubt.

That is the legendary King of Knights, that is the Sword of Excalibur!

Although I understand that as a legendary queen, Saber's strength must be terrifying.

But!

Isn't this a bit too terrifying?!

With that kind of power, how could anyone else possibly fight back?

Berserker was a monster; he was able to go toe-to-toe with the King of Knights.

Even with the advantage of Berserk mode, and even though Saber's Noble Phantasm is characterized by being more dangerous the farther away you are, it still has its advantages.

Berserker was very close, so its power was somewhat reduced.

But she went head-to-head with the King of Knights!

And the true name of that treasure...

Isn't that the legendary rebellious knight Mordred?

A Holy Grail War has summoned the King of Knights and his son—no, father and daughter…no, mother and daughter…none of those seem right…

But in conclusion!

Isn't the probability of that a bit ridiculously low?

Of all the heroic spirits in human history, why did it have to be the two of you?

"Hey, Archer."

Compared to the Master who was so frightened he lost his voice, Rider stared intently at the golden glitter on the streetlight and suddenly spoke:

"You're not the kind of king who would take advantage of someone in distress, are you?"

"Ha, mongrel."

Gilgamesh scoffed, "Do you think I would lay a hand on her? Even if I were to, it would be an arrogant bastard like you who doesn't know his place!"

"Ha ha ha ha,"

Rider laughed heartily, "Really? I'm really looking forward to sparring with you!"

Gilgamesh's eyes were icy cold as he adjusted the direction of his Noble Phantasm, which swirled within a golden vortex, towards Rider:

"Can I take this as a provocation against the King, you mongrel!"

"Issuing an order in the name of the Command Seal..."

Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, Gilgamesh heard his Master's voice in his ear:

"O King of Heroes, please defeat Saber and demonstrate your greatness as a king!"

"Time! Miscellaneous cultivator!"

Gilgamesh's crimson vertical pupils blazed with fury. "Do you think I'm only fit to take down exhausted weaklings?!"

Despite Gilgamesh's furious roar, his Noble Phantasms on both sides were already shooting towards Saber.

For Servants, the command spells are absolute.

Commands that are specific and very clear are especially hard to resist.

Ta-da!

Saber swung her sword, deflecting several Noble Phantasms that shot down from the sky like cannonballs, her eyes cold.

Did you think her Noble Phantasm magic would be depleted after she just unleashed it?

That's really disappointing!

Although she did consume a lot of magic, she still had enough for another round!

and so……

"Yale yaale".

Rider pulled on the reins and charged towards the golden glitter in the air, laughing loudly:

"It seems your Master isn't as ruthless as Archer, targeting young girls in their weakened state! Let me be your opponent, Archer!"

-----------------

“Saber has just unleashed her Noble Phantasm, and her magical power is probably at an extremely low level. Now is the best time to eliminate her!”

Because of the innocent death of the previous Assassin, Kirei Kotomine, who was reassigned to monitor the situation, did not see the whole process. When the new Assassin arrived, Saber and Berserker were already exchanging beams, and the light that almost turned the night into day could be seen from a great distance.

By the time Assassin arrived, the wave had just ended.

Berserker, exhausted and gone, naturally led Kirei Kotomine to assume that Saber was no different.

However, he did not act rashly, but instead truthfully reported everything that had happened to his teacher.

Kirei Kotomine had no desire for the Holy Grail, nor any reason to justify his actions. His sole mission in this Holy Grail War was to assist his teacher in achieving victory.

Therefore, he doesn't need to do anything extra; he just needs to follow the teacher's orders.

As for what kind of orders the teacher will give, that's the teacher's business.

"Did you just use your Noble Phantasm?"

In the basement of the Tohsaka residence, Tokiomi Tohsaka muttered to himself.

Excalibur, the legendary King of Knights.

Such power would be a great threat even to the King of Heroes. Moreover, given the King of Heroes' personality, if Saber were to unleash that attack, he would not try to dodge but would instead meet it head-on, ultimately suffering the same fate as Berserker.

That being the case...

"To issue an order in the name of a Command Spell,"

Tokiomi Tohsaka raised his right hand, revealing the Command Seals on the back of his hand, and commanded in a deep voice:

"O King of Heroes, please defeat Saber and demonstrate your greatness as a king!"

-----------------

Ping Pong Pong!

The sound, like the clanging of iron, echoed continuously in the night sky, while golden vortexes rippled in the air.

One after another, precious treasures emerged from the rippling vortex, only to be carelessly thrown out by Gilgamesh as if they were stones—a very reckless act.

Nevertheless, its power is still terrifying.

Each impact on the ground was like a bomb exploding, sending asphalt dust flying everywhere and obscuring all vision.

The dock warehouse, now a ruin, continues to bear the descent of countless magical artifacts, as if it were being carpet-bombed.

The Noble Phantasms rained down like lightning, and the attacks not only continued uninterrupted but gradually became more and more intense.

Rider, driving the tank, warned:

"Saber, you should leave now! Otherwise, this will never end!"

Although he wanted to fight Archer, he didn't want to fight Archer who was driven to rage and irrational by the Command Seals and was just venting his anger.

But since Archer's target is Saber, the Command Seals will naturally become ineffective once Saber leaves.

After all, while Command Seals can forcefully command Servants, their effects have limits!

"Okay! Thanks, Rider!"

Without much thought, Saber decisively pulled Irisviel away from the battlefield under Rider's cover.

Although she wasn't worried about losing to Archer, if she continued to protect Irisviel, Archer, who had her in mind, would inevitably turn the area around her into a battlefield, making Irisviel's situation even more dangerous.

However, if she stays away from Irisviel, it's hard to guarantee that such a wide-range attack won't accidentally injure Irisviel.

Even if Archer doesn't intend to end the battle prematurely by attacking his Master in such a despicable way, his Master is clearly not a righteous person, and the other party probably won't hesitate to use another Command Seal to order Archer to attack Irisviel.

In this situation, evacuation is the best option!

Saber isn't the kind of reckless person who fights endlessly, nor does he consider retreating a disgrace.

Throughout her long military career, she understood very well that retreat was for a better offensive:

You can only punch more powerfully if you pull your fist back first!

Regardless of the circumstances, we owe Rider a favor this time.

Saber led Irisviel away from the battlefield from the nearby seaside park, and they only stopped when the commotion in the distance gradually subsided.

"It seems he has given up."

Saber gazed at the 'ruins' in the distance, which were gradually returning to calm, and murmured to himself.

Irisviel asked curiously:

"Was that Berserker Mordred?"

Saber looked at Irisviel, and instead of the relief and fear of surviving the ordeal, the girl's eyes held a strange excitement.

"Ah."

Saber paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Just like the legend says, is she your daughter?

Irisviel's eyes grew increasingly excited as she relentlessly pressed on, "Was it with your sister Morgan?"
