In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Seeing this, Scáthach, who had no intention of pursuing Saber in the first place, couldn't help but frown.

Although Scáthach, as an ally, wanted to save face for Berserker, she couldn't stand it anymore.

“I’ll help you calm down a bit, Knight of the Lake.”

And so, amidst Matou Kariya's shouts, two Servants who should have been on the same side began a new battle on the ruins.

"Stop it! Stop fighting!"

"Please, please stop hitting them!"

Amidst Matou Kariya's clearly untimely shouts, the battle between the two Servants seemed to take on a slightly strange quality.

Seeing this, even Luo Wei couldn't help but cover his face and sigh, "Forget it, let them play by themselves."

Since Saber is gone anyway, as long as Scáthach doesn't get serious and doesn't unleash her Noble Phantasm, Lancelot should be fine with his martial arts skills.

However, after seeing Lancelot's unusual behavior, Rowe had a new assessment of the guy's unpredictability.

If I don't run into Artoria, it's fine, but as soon as I do, I'll pounce on her like a wild dog begging to be beaten.

You can't help him if you don't help him, but he won't appreciate it. On the contrary, when you hurt Artoria, he will turn around and bite you back, which is the situation you are in now.

Overall, he's just a roadside idiot. Although he's good at fighting, he's not very bright. If he stays, he'll probably cause some trouble.

Fortunately, Matou Kariya still had Command Seals left to use, the troublesome Assassin had already left the field, Saber was seriously injured and couldn't cause any trouble in the short term, and with the three riders he had just unified, it could be said that everything was ready.

Let's just use up all the control over Lancelot and Tokiomi Tohsaka and finish this quickly...

Kariya Matou's body wouldn't be able to hold on much longer if it continued to be tormented like this, so it was best to put some things on the agenda, and besides, his own plans were almost complete.

In that case, that old bug's life should also be taken away—no, it should be said that it should be helped to ascend to godhood.

For Machrizogan, what he was about to do was an act of kindness and compassion.

"—Amen."

He murmured a compassionate sound.

……

"This...this is..."

Based on the few familiars still left on the battlefield, Tokiomi Tohsaka was still able to monitor the situation on the battlefield. When he heard that familiar voice, he couldn't help but freeze in surprise.

"It's... Matou Kariya?!"

"Matō Kariya?"

Not only Tokiomi Tohsaka, but Kirei Kotomine was also stunned upon hearing the name. He asked:

"Didn't he give up magic and leave Fuyuki City? How could he become a magician in such a short time without ever receiving formal training..."

"That's why he chose the easiest-to-control Berserker... It seems the Matou family really has no intention of giving up."

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned, then calmly began to analyze the situation.

"But if the Matou family's Servants aren't the expected Caster and Scáthach, but another Berserker, and Kenneth's Servant is Finn, and that brat Waver Velvet summons Rider, then who are Caster and Scáthach's Masters in this Holy Grail War?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned, his eyes revealing deep confusion.

With the appearance of Matou Kariya, all of his original predictions were overturned, and the situation has now become even more unpredictable.

Even though his Assassin had already left the scene, he still couldn't figure out who Caster and Scáthach's Masters were, or which side they belonged to.

He initially thought it was Zouken Matou manipulating Caster to initiate the operation, since apart from the Matou family patriarch, there weren't many people in the entire Holy Grail War who were so familiar with the rules and could commit such an illegal summoning. However…

Could it be that he, Matou Kariya, could also become a Master?

This was unacceptable to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

He certainly knew Matou Kariya very well.

He was his defeated opponent, and he was also the only person in the Matou family of this generation with magical talent. He was originally the successor of magic who was highly regarded by Matou Zouken.

Tokiomi Tohsaka had to admit that, in terms of talent alone, Kariya Matou might indeed be slightly better than him, but Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't care.

After all, there are many magicians in the world who are more talented than him, but in the end, he surpassed them one by one through hard work and perseverance until he achieved what he has today. Even in the Clock Tower, where strength reigns supreme, he is qualified to teach in some classrooms or participate in high-level academic exchanges, achieving results that magicians with more talent than him would find difficult to attain.

But all of this stemmed from his sense of responsibility and his love for the demonic path. He was even willing to give up everything for the sake of pursuing the demonic path.

And what right does he, Kariya Matou, a traitor who abandoned the path of magic out of cowardice and absurdity, have? What right does someone who has already escaped have to return to participate in the Holy Grail War? And now he wants to compete against me on the same stage...?

Does this guy even deserve it? Does he even have the qualifications? He's just a traitor, yet he dares to come back now. This is something Tokiomi Tohsaka can't tolerate.

"Matō Kariya..."

Feeling that the situation was about right, Tokiomi Tohsaka raised his finger to sever the connection with his familiar, silently muttering the name, his expression becoming even colder than before.

Chapter 6 Attacking the Tohsaka Clan (5 words)

As Rowe had predicted, Scáthach and Lancelot then engaged in a rather fierce battle.

The clash of guns against swords began once more, but unlike Artoria, who was completely overwhelmed by Scáthach's martial prowess throughout the battle, Lancelot managed to barely withstand Scáthach's attacks in their martial arts contest.

The legendary knight Lancelot...

In Arthurian legend, he is also a powerful knight with many descriptions. He is the son of King Ben and an elf, the chief of the Knights of the Round Table, and also the knight with the strongest martial arts.

Even King Arthur, excluding his Noble Phantasms, could not defeat Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, in terms of martial arts. Even Gawain, the Sun Knight, who was tripled in power at noon, could not defeat Lancelot and could only be dragged out until sunset before being completely defeated.

His destructive power was evident from the fact that he destroyed most of the Round Table; his unparalleled martial arts skills resounded throughout the land of Camelot.

Therefore, without a doubt, in this Holy Grail War, the only Servants who can rival the Queen of the Land of Shadows, besides Finn, who is also a Godslayer, are Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, who is the strongest warrior at the Round Table.

"Truly remarkable martial arts skills, to be able to unleash such power even when in a frenzy... Lancelot, I really want to have a match with you in your prime during your Saber-class days."

Scáthach swung her spear and repelled Lancelot, saying with some regret.

Honestly, his martial arts have been honed through countless years and killings, surpassing the ultimate human skill and reaching the realm of gods. Therefore, even among the heroic spirits, those who can defeat him in terms of martial arts are few and far between, and those who can contend with him are extremely rare.

Even Lancelot, who possesses the greatest martial arts skills in mythology, would find it difficult to comprehend or reach.

However, her opponent's boundless martial arts skills had indeed reached a level where she could fight him. But that was at the sword rank; as for this berserker, forget it.

"Arrrr……!!!"

Lancelot could not respond to Scáthach's words, and could only let out a low growl from his throat.

After seeing that Artoria had disappeared, his original rage subsided, and his emotions, having been largely released from his clash with Scáthach, gradually calmed down.

So this time he didn't launch an attack, but stood there blankly, gradually losing his killing intent.

"Tch...Is that really so?"

Seeing that Lancelot had lost his will to fight, Scáthach couldn't help but feel bored, and her curiosity about this grand stage in Britain grew even stronger.

First there was the great sage Merlin, who risked everything to save Saber from the Starry Sea; then there was Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, whose love was so deep that his hatred was so intense, that even in his rage, he remained loyal to his lord until the very end.

However, King Arthur, the protagonist, was completely unaware of the help he had received from so many people, and even thanked his knights before leaving.

I wonder how Saber would feel if she knew that the person who just saved her was Lancelot?

Scáthach became increasingly curious about the scene where the truth would be revealed in the future.

She felt that Britain was much more fun than his mainland, at least there were quite a few people with distinct personalities.

Just then, seeing that the two had finally stopped, Matou Kariya, in order to avoid another fight, hurriedly stepped in between them and shouted, "Stop! Don't fight anymore!"

"Especially you, Berserker, although I don't know what's gotten into you this time? You actually let Saber go, but stop right now. If you're really going to be this stubborn, I'll have to use a Command Spell!"

Clearly enraged by Berserker's decision to let Artoria go, Kariya Matou's face was contorted as he raised his hand towards the Black Knight in front of him.

His tone was cold and unquestionable. If Lancelot really wanted to fight Scáthach to the death today, he would have no choice but to use this Command Spell.

Seeing this, Scáthach's expression was somewhat strange, and she glanced thoughtfully at Matou Kariya in front of her.

Fortunately, Lancelot did not continue to disobey orders and gradually calmed down. He stood obediently in place, staring at Matou Kariya in front of him without saying a word, like a knight statue without consciousness.

Without mentioning Arthur, the Knight of the Lake remained calm, which secretly relieved Kariya Matou.

Thankfully, I calmed down and didn't need to use the second Command Seal...

It goes without saying how precious Command Seals are in the Holy Grail War, and he wanted to save them to attack Tokiomi Tohsaka. He really didn't want to waste them on such meaningless trifles unless absolutely necessary.

"Phew... Have I finally calmed down?"

Looking at Lancelot, who stood motionless like a statue before him, Matou Kariya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he bowed deeply apologetically to the Queen of the Land of Shadows.

"I'm sorry, Queen Scáthach! Because of me and Berserker, Saber, whom you were determined to kill, escaped."

Then, with a serious expression, he said, "From now on, to make up for what we did, Berserker and I will do our best to help you."

Oh? To put in even more effort...?

Scáthach didn't say much about this, since she was going to let Artoria go anyway. In fact, Berserker just gave her a way out. If Lancelot had wanted to attack the injured Saber, he would have had to ask her permission first.

Of course, there's no need to say this out loud; everyone can just understand it without saying a word.

Just as Scáthach was preparing to return to report to her Master, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar...

"Hahahaha! I smell the scent of battle and conquest here! I imagine a thrilling battle must have taken place here not long ago!"

A rough and wild voice echoed above the ruins, and then Rider Iskandar, who had swiftly eliminated all the Assassins, rushed towards them from the edge of the ruins with his Master in tow.

"Idiot, keep your voice down. Don't make such a fuss. We can't be seen by ordinary people. We need to get ready to leave."

On the other side, Finn, seeing that Scáthach had not returned for a long time, couldn't help but worry about what was happening here, so he quickly rushed over with Kenneth.

Then they saw Scáthach and the Black Knight standing on the ruins, along with the gaunt young man beside them.

"It's Berserker?!"

Recognizing the Black Knight, Iskandar was somewhat surprised. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "So the enemy sent more than just two Servants? There's even this Berserker! What impressive mobilization ability! Unexpectedly, they managed to gather four riders in just one night. This truly makes me look at them in a new light..."

"What are you lamenting about? Why waste your breath on him? Assassin is gone, and Saber is nowhere to be seen either. She was probably taken care of by Scáthach. That leaves only Berserker. Why waste your breath on him? Lancer, Rider, don't bother with morality with these despicable people. Let's all attack him and take him down!"

Because the workshop was reduced to only 30% of its original size, and because he had just narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Assassin, Kenneth was furious. With a wave of his hand, he ordered Finn and Iskandar to work together to take down the Berserker in front of them.

Although he didn't want to resort to the despicable act of ganging up on the weak, Finn didn't waste any words considering the other party's sneak attack. He drew his double-headed pistol, ready to join the battle, and leaped towards Scáthach, shouting, "I'm here to help you!!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Finn's shout, Scáthach turned around, somewhat surprised.

Then, the other figures also began to surround them.
