The Warrior of Love

In desperation, Diarmuid with his glorious appearance was the first to give up pure hand-to-hand combat and began to use the power of his Noble Phantasm to decide the winner!

His twin guns are permanent treasures that can function without being released. The red gun has the passive ability to cut off magic power, while the yellow gun will inflict a curse that prevents wounds from healing.

In terms of lethality, it is naturally not as good as active treasures that release magic power, nor as good as the fatal spear of the Five War Lancer that reverses cause and effect.

However, the excellence of these two Rose Spears lies in that they do not consume magic power and can be used at all times. This means that they can continuously exert suppressive power in hand-to-hand combat. Combined with Diarmuid's own marksmanship, they are even more powerful!

Facing Diarmuid, who no longer concealed the characteristics of his Noble Phantasm, even Saber would be—

So relaxing...

It’s so easy!

Although Saber was stabbed by the yellow rose in a moment of haste because the Wind King's barrier was pierced by the red rose, revealing the true form of the holy sword and its real name was guessed, she quickly recovered from the wound that was supposedly cursed, and slashed with all her strength with the help of magic power, directly injuring Diarmuid!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu suddenly understood why this Holy Grail War was a victory for Einzbern——

Saber is wearing a scabbard!

The fantasy crystal named "Avalon" is nominally a scabbard, but in fact it is the embodiment of the passage to the utopia (the kingdom of fairies). As long as the Knight King carries it with him, no matter how serious the damage is, it can be restored.

When its true name is unfolded, it can even obscure dimensions and defend against all external interference!

Note that it is “everything”!

This thing is different from shield treasures like "Seven Rings of Blazing Sky" and "Small World Surrounding the Sky", which are nominally invincible but actually have durability. It is an absolute defense in the true sense!

Because it is a treasure that reaches the realm of "magic", it can cut off all physical interference, interference from parallel worlds, and communication between multiple dimensions (the sixth dimension).

Although I have never encountered it in reality, Goetia's large light wheel that can carry planets in reverse time may be large in scale, but it is still a "law" in terms of realm, so it is likely that it cannot break Avalon...

King Arthur with his scabbard is undoubtedly the invincible "best"!

She may not be as powerful as Karna and Gilgamesh in terms of firepower, but she is the Servant most likely to win in the end.

The Scabbard of Avalon was lost during Saber's lifetime, but was later found by the Einzbern and became the medium for summoning her.

Originally, Aiie would entrust Emiya Kiritsugu to become the Master, but Kiritsugu and Daimo could not understand each other and had almost no communication.

Because of Kiritsugu's sudden impulse, he used the scabbard as a healing treasure and buried it in Irisviel's body instead of returning it to Saber...

No wonder the Saber team won the Holy Grail in this world, because this world does not have Kiritsugu's wonderful operations, so Saber is in full condition!

The Holy Sword Master in his prime easily defeated the Dual Spear Master, not even giving him a chance to regroup, and soon forced Diarmuid into a desperate situation.

The curse of the Noble Phantasm is ineffective. With only the attack power of the dual guns, even if Saber does not defend, with Avalon's recovery effect, Diarmuid has no chance of winning.

What's more, his hard power is inferior to Saber's, and now he is seriously injured.

Obviously, the winner has been decided!

"The one with blond hair is going to win, right?" Feng stood beside Jiang Liu and expressed his judgment.

"No more suspense... huh?"

Jiang Liu, who was standing on a high place overlooking the battlefield, frowned slightly, and shifted his gaze away from the two warring parties to look at Master Irisviel who was supporting Saber a little further away.

Although she arrived later than him, Artoria seemed to have sensed something was wrong. She frowned her heroic brows, decisively let go of Diarmuid who was just one step away from being completely defeated, and took the initiative to retreat.

Diarmuid was slightly surprised, but his perception was not that good and he had not yet noticed the change.

call--

It was like a breeze blowing by, barely audible in this windy harbor, but what followed was not an invisible wind, but dark shadows that merged into the night.

"call out!"

The red-clad assassin leaped out like a poisonous snake, and the dark dagger attacked Irisviel, who had no time to react.

"Ellie!"

The blond Knight King showed an anxious look, but it was hard to reach...

Chapter 686: Unexpected Intruder

The red-clothed assassin was extremely fast, and attacked suddenly from a blind spot. Irisviel had no way to resist, and was already in a dead end the moment she saw the enemy's figure. Even though Saber responded with her "intuition" in advance, she was still one step short.

But at this moment, a stern look flashed in Saber's eyes, and the dragon factor in her blood instantly burst out with tremendous power. The golden holy sword released magic power in the opposite direction, and the frenzied wind pressure pushed her body to break through the original speed limit.

The holy swordsman charged forward with swiftness, her skirt and armor dancing in the strong wind, and she arrived in front of Irisviel at the same time as the assassin.

"Ellie!"

The Knight King stretched out his hand to block the Master, and his unarmored wrist was immediately pierced, staining his blue clothes with a dark red color.

But Saber never wavered for a moment. She endured the severe pain, turned her wrist and used her bones to hold the dagger, and swung the holy sword at the opponent with one hand.

The red-clothed assassin was extremely calm. When he realized that the assassination had failed, he immediately gave up the dagger and retreated backwards. While avoiding the slash, he stretched out his other hand, and an old-fashioned single-barrel flintlock appeared in his hand. The dark hole passed over the swordsman's shoulder and pointed at the Master.

"Don't think about it!"

The magic power covering the holy sword was released, creating a small storm that swept away everything in front of the swordsman and his servant, and the assassin's body was also blown away.

“Uh…” Glancing at Saber who was about to chase, and Irisviel behind her, the red-clad assassin, whose face was hidden under the hood, shook his head slightly.

He was unable to confront Saber head-on. If he wanted to kill the other's Master, it would be possible only if the Holy Sword User was caught off guard. Now he had lost the possibility of success.

It's time to retreat!

Without giving Altria a chance, the red-clad assassin slipped into the night and disappeared in an instant.

“Ugh… Damn it…”

Although Saber was angry, she could do nothing about it. For assassins who possessed the ability to "conceal their presence," as long as they did not actively show up, no one would be able to find them.

After Irisviel was attacked, Saber was reluctant to stay too far away from her.

"Thank you, Saber." The Master of the Holy Sword said thankfully.

She is a very beautiful and elegant woman, with long silver hair, charming red eyes, innocent temperament and flawless facial features, which makes her particularly suitable for the title of "Princess".

And her guardian knight is the world-famous King Arthur.

Such a combination would be too intimidating in the Holy Grail War...even enough to be the cause of the contradictions that distorted the times.

"It is my duty to protect you, Elly." Altria looked at her master with tender eyes, but soon they became cold again and she turned to face the knight with two guns.

"Do you want to keep fighting, Lancer?"

Clearly, there was an opportunity just now, but for some reason Diarmuid neither attacked Saber nor took the opportunity to retreat, and remained here with a serious injury.

Does he still think he can win?

"I'm sorry, although I lost this battle, the Master will not accept such a disastrous outcome... I did not receive the order to retreat."

Diarmuid forced a smile: "So, I still need you to stay with me for a while, Knight King... Don't worry, I will do my best to give this battle a decent ending."

"This is an unreasonable order...but I will not show mercy."

Saber said coldly: "The duel between the knights is over. What follows is the fight between the beasts."

"That's exactly what I want." Diarmuid took a deep breath, "Come on, Knight King!"

But at this moment, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the sky. The violent reaction of magic startled the two knights and they all looked up.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, a chariot pulled by two divine bulls descended to the center of the battlefield, stirring up countless waves.

"My name is King of Conquerors Iskandar, and I am summoned this time as a Rider!"

"Ahhh, what are you doing, Rider!"

Under the bewildered gazes of Saber and Lancer, a burly man in a red cloak and thick hair stood up on the chariot.

At his feet, a shivering black-haired boy was going crazy.

"How can you give your real name right away? Are you serious?!"

"My two knights, I have seen your heroic deeds, but the outcome of this battle has been decided.

Although dying on the battlefield is an honor for a knight, it would be a meaningless sacrifice if you are coerced by the orders of a coward who doesn't even dare to step onto the battlefield. Yes, I'm talking about you, Lancer's Master!"

"Well!"

Diarmuid instinctively wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the red-haired burly man did not give him a chance.

"Saber and her Master, it is your right to kill Lancer, but now is not the time for him to leave.

Haha, I finally got a second chance at life, so of course I have to die in battle with honor. If I can’t even get the monarch’s blessing, it would be too sad for a knight…”

Saber frowned slightly, but seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head slightly to see Irisviel's reaction behind her.

Irisviel glanced at Iskandar cautiously, nodded slightly to Saber, and the blonde girl immediately lowered her holy sword. Although she had lifted her attacking stance, she did not relax her vigilance.

Judging from Rider's words, he had been observing for a long time and even watched the battle from beginning to end, but Saber and Diarmuid were not surprised.

They knew from the beginning that someone was secretly spying on them, and because it was the first battle, it was bound to attract a lot of attention.

However, the owners of these auras had no intention of intervening in the battle, so Diarmuid and Saber fought while remaining vigilant...

I just didn't expect that with so many eyes focused on him, the assassin who wanted to remain secret would actually take action directly.

What was even more surprising was that Rider not only showed up openly, but also gave his real name.

"This king declares!"

Rider suddenly felt heroic and shouted loudly, "Heroes gathered here, please don't hide your heads and tails, show yourself to me. If you are a coward who dares not even show your body, you will be despised and looked down upon by me!"

It was indeed an invitation that was too ostentatious. Even Saber and Diarmuid, who had seen a lot of things in the world, were stunned.

As if in response to Rider, several strong waves of magical power suddenly appeared in the originally calm atmosphere.

As the spiritual light continued to brighten, majestic and mysterious figures appeared around.

The golden king stood on a tall street lamp, glaring at Rider unhappily.

A berserker surrounded by dark mist appeared in the shadows, his body wrapped in cold armor, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

A tall figure shrouded in a tattered cloak had appeared in sight at some point, with an old sword standing in front of him, and magical fluctuations like will-o'-the-wisp lingering around him.

Jiang Liu also landed on the field with Feng, but he did not look at Saber or Gilgamesh. Instead, he looked at the tall swordsman with a cold expression.

This heroic spirit would not appear in an ordinary Holy Grail War, and even the singularity might not be able to attract him. Since he appeared, there must be a reason.

The Demon Pillar shouldn't be... It can't be coming for Jiang Liu, right?

On the surface, he asked Jiang Liu for help, but he summoned another person to monitor this singularity. Maybe he wanted to monitor Jiang Liu as well. Is Alaya so shameless?

No, if it was aimed at him, then Alaya only sent one person...it was a bit disrespectful.

Perhaps, it was just a coincidence and an accident that a special existence appeared in this singularity that could attract this heroic spirit.

-

"I'm sorry, Caster, I can't allow you to respond to Rider's invitation."

“Please don’t take it to heart, Master. Although it may look like this, I am actually no longer at the age where I would be impulsive due to emotional disputes.

For me, the Master's safety is the most important thing. The reputation of a knight is ultimately just a title used to trick heroes into risking their lives."

"You really are a peculiar Servant."

The shoulder-length black hair swayed slightly in the night breeze. The girl named Sakura smiled as she looked at the blond knight serving her.

"But isn't there someone you know in the field? Don't you want to meet him?"

"You're joking, Master."

The blond knight smiled slightly: "Although he is an acquaintance, he probably doesn't want to see me."

Chapter 687: Is there enough weapons storage?

"Hahaha, they've all come out. Let me see... Hey? Aren't there a bit too many people?"

The red-haired burly man scratched his head, lowered his head and whispered to his Master: "Hey, isn't there seven Servants in the Holy Grail War?"

"What are you talking about, of course... huh?"

Weber stood up and looked around, and was also stunned.

The Knight King, the Dual Spear User, the Black Swordsman, Gilgamesh, the Berserker, Jiang Liu, and the King of Conquerors himself, there are seven Servants who meet the requirements of the Holy Grail War.

But what about the assassin before?

"That's right, these people are all Servants." Waver's ability as a Master is not outstanding, but he still has the basic qualities of a magician. He can see that Jiang Liu and others are all manifested in spiritual basis, which is very different from flesh and blood.
