They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

The next second, Saber's reaction confirmed his suspicions.

"Why, why is this happening, Emiya Kiritsugu!?"

Saber, who was forcibly suppressing the release of her Noble Phantasm with both hands, loudly questioned a certain direction.

Having finally reunited with her old friend, Saber was now forced to kill him with her own hands, a situation she simply couldn't accept.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you scoundrel! What kind of skill is it to hide in the shadows? Come out here!"

Mordred immediately understood and shouted in the direction Saber was looking.

Hidden in the shadows, seeing that Saber was still putting up a stubborn resistance, Kiritsugu Emiya took a deep breath.

"Everything is for the sake of justice."

He consoled himself with this thought.

Looking at the two remaining Command Seals, a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

He needs an all-powerful wish-granting machine to realize his ideal.

World peace!

Therefore, the death of the servant is necessary.

Otherwise, the Holy Grail cannot be summoned.

Now we've finally managed to catch two of them.

He didn't care whether they had any connection to Saber or not; as long as he killed these two, and then killed two more, the Holy Grail would begin to take shape.

He would do anything to obtain the Holy Grail, even at the cost of everything!

“Saber, I reply with a Command Spell—”

Kiritsugu Emiya used a Command Spell again.

As the second Command Spell was activated, Saber's hand began to move beyond her control, slowly aiming at Mordred and the other two.

"no, do not want!"

Looking at the two people closest to her, Saber screamed in despair.

however

Kiritsugu Emiya would never listen to her.

He remained indifferent and issued the order:

"Kill Mordred and Lancelot!"

"Despicable Emiya Kiritsugu!"

As golden light began to emanate, the Wind King's Barrier disappeared, and Excalibur gradually revealed its true form.

Mordred cursed angrily, not daring to linger. He picked up the weakened Lancelot with one hand and shot off in a certain direction.

Next second

The golden torrent of stars followed closely behind.

The light illuminated the world.

As the light drew ever closer behind him, Mordred's Excalibur shone even brighter.

He also swung a curry stick.

However, due to the short time constraints, Mordred's curry pie was the first to break after a brief confrontation, and was overwhelmed by Saber's golden torrent of curry sticks.

in situ

snap

Saber collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant as she stared ahead.

Flames raged all around.

She doesn't understand.

Why would Kiritsugu Emiya do such a thing?

The dust gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, Saber's lifeless eyes twitched.

I hurriedly looked over.

Mordred and Lancelot stood there unharmed.

In front of them stood a man.

The man pressed one hand into the void, and a blue barrier enveloped him.

Upon seeing the three, Saber's previously dull eyes regained their light.

She wanted to go forward, but fearing that Kiritsugu Emiya would use Command Spells to force her to do something she didn't want to do, she stopped herself.

At this moment, Saber is like a broken person, only able to secretly watch the happiness of others from afar.

"Master, if you had come any later, you would not have seen me."

Mordred looked at Ling Yu in front of her and exclaimed with joy.

"Don't worry, you're my servant, how could I bear to send you to your death?" Ling Yu said with a faint smile.

Mordred thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Lancelot's lips twitched slightly.

Shouldn't Servants protect their Masters?

How come it's the other way around when it comes to Ling Yu and Mordred?

"!!!"

Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, was also surprised to see the two of them completely unharmed.

Has King Arthur's Noble Phantasm failed?

No, it was blocked!

This is the result of him using two Command Seals and becoming estranged from Saber.

He can't accept it!

Kiritsugu Emiya's impression of Ling Yu was limited to the first day.

After that, Ling Yu seemed to have vanished without a trace, and he couldn't find him no matter what he did.

Moreover, like Rimuru, Nagumo Hajime, and Ling Yu, he couldn't find a single trace of them.

It's like it appeared out of nowhere.

This feeling of being completely in the dark made Kiritsugu Emiya very uneasy; the situation had developed far beyond his expectations.

at the same time

Einzbernburg

Upon returning, Irisviel gently stroked her lower abdomen.

At this moment, only Caster's soul resides within her.

It was practically none of a burden for her.

She stood in front of the castle's French windows, gazing at the darkening sky outside, feeling somewhat uneasy.

This is the fifth night already.

In two more days, the Holy Grail War will be completely over.

At that time, the Holy Grail will lose the opportunity to make a wish and will have to wait until the next Holy Grail War sixty years later.

of course

These are all lies fabricated by the three founding families to deceive the visiting Masters and urge them to fight each other as soon as possible.

And coincidentally, Kiritsugu Emiya was one of those who were deceived.

So, with the day when the Holy Grail would 'expire' drawing ever closer, he was really anxious.

This led to irrational behavior such as wanting to keep both Servants at once.

but

The appearance of Ling Yu and Saber's lack of cooperation precisely prove that this approach is undesirable.

"Miss Irisviel, may we talk?"

Just as Irisviel was thinking about her husband, a voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"who!?"

Irisviel was startled and instinctively clenched her fists.

She turned her head and saw a girl with long pink hair standing there.

The girl had ears like an elf and an exquisite face; even the darkness of night could not conceal her dazzling appearance.

Looking at Ellie, even Irisviel couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before my mind was filled with vigilance.

Irisviel was well aware of her importance in the Holy Grail War.

It can be said that she is the most precious thing in this Holy Grail War.

Because the omnipotent wish-granting machine, the Lesser Holy Grail, resides within her body.

Once the souls of all seven Servants are gathered, the Holy Grail can grant any wish.

Therefore, Irisviel's safety can be said to be absolute.

This is one of the main reasons why Kiritsugu Emiya wanted to place Saber by her side.

"I have something I'd like you to look at."

Irisviel's wary gaze remained unmoved.

A ball of white light appeared in his hand, and then he walked step by step toward Irisviel.

Her gentleness was reserved for Ling Yu.

She doesn't mind being a little cold to outsiders.

He reverted to being the emotionless Key of Revelation, the Void Treasury, who only knew how to destroy the Honkai.

Irisviel looked at the ball of light in Irisviel's hand, and without thinking, turned and ran.

But how could Ellie let her go?

This was a task personally assigned to her by Ling Yu.

It must be done beautifully.

Golden, transparent, mimicking restraint chains shot out from the void behind Irisviel, easily binding her limbs and restricting her movements.

Because she shares the same lineage as Ling Yu, and because Ling Yu strengthens her every time he advances in his cultivation, she basically possesses all of Ling Yu's abilities.

Although they were all much smaller than Ling Yu's, they were more than enough for Ai Li.

"Don't come here!"

Bound by chains and unable to move, Irisviel watched in panic as Ellie approached step by step.

Unfortunately, she is now a lamb to the slaughter, posing no threat whatsoever.

Then, with Irisviel's eyes tightly closed, a hand as smooth as jade was placed on her smooth forehead.

Along with it, the white ball of light was also inserted.

In an instant, a flood of information poured into Irisviel's mind, causing her to stop what she was doing the moment she was struggling.

His eyes went from initial confusion to shock, and then to panic.

In just a few seconds, Irisviel changed countless expressions.

"Now, can we talk?"
