Artoria knew it was stupid of her to ask that question, but she couldn't help asking it anyway.

The person who could exert such a strong sense of pressure on him, King Arthur, could not possibly be some nobody!

unexpected.

The purple-haired woman answered without any attempt at concealment: "My name is Scáthach, and I have come here seeking only death."

Scáthach? ???

As a Celt, Artoria had certainly heard of this name!

It's simply a household name!

The Queen of the Land of Shadows!

The guardian of the gates to the dead!

A ruthless person whose spear skills have reached the realm of gods, and who has even personally killed a god!

Although nominally a demigod, Scáthach is in fact no different from a true god!

"Master, prepare for evacuation."

"This enemy...is very strong!"

"To be honest, I'm not very confident."

Before the fight even started, Artoria was already thinking about her escape route.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Scáthach, who single-handedly nurtured numerous great heroes of the Age of Gods, should absolutely not participate in the Holy Grail War!

This is definitely an out-of-specification Servant!

Artoria didn't want to be eliminated right away.

unless...................

If only Avalon were still here.

King Arthur with Avalon is at his strongest.

Unfortunately, Artoria chose the sword, not the scabbard.

Unbeknownst to her, Avalon was inside Irisviel's body at that moment.

Kiritsugu Emiya was afraid that Artoria would kill Irisviel and take Avalon on the spot, so he deliberately concealed it.

Even Saber, you...

The wife was stunned.

Isn't it said that Saber-class Servants are generally the strongest?

Why did we encounter an insurmountable enemy right from the start?

Despite her complaints, she wasn't foolish enough to question Artoria's judgment.

"Alright, I'll try to get as far away as possible first, and then I'll use a Command Spell to summon you back!"

"Well, please."

Artoria dared not look back, fearing that in that moment of distraction, Scáthach would pierce her heart with a spear.

That demonic spear embodies the concept of guaranteed hit.

Honestly, it's really tricky.

Artoria couldn't guarantee that she could handle it.

"Run away?"

Scáthach didn't rush to make a move. She merely glanced at Irisviel and thoughtfully asked Artoria, "She's not your Master, is she?"

Prophetic abilities?

What a hassle!

The thought of Scáthach's inherent skills and the wisdom of the Demon Realm gave Artoria a headache.

How the hell are you going to fight like this?

They were already outmatched, and the opponent could even use cheats, glancing at the future every now and then.

Even sneak attacks are no longer effective!

Thinking this to herself, Artoria wore a playful smile on her face, trying to mislead Scáthach: "Who knows? Maybe she's my master, maybe she isn't. Isn't the Holy Grail War all about hiding yourself as much as possible and then defeating your opponent?"

"That's right."

Scáthach nodded slightly in agreement, showing a hint of interest in the young female knight before her: "According to you, I'm not quite qualified."

"No, it's not that you're not qualified."

Artoria said, "This is just your arrogance as a strong person."

The strong hone their claws, while the weak hone their wisdom!

The only way to defeat someone stronger than yourself is through wisdom!

Therefore, even though Artoria knew it might be futile, she tried her best to conceal her information.

This is her only advantage.

If we lose even the advantage we have in reporting, then things will really be in trouble....................

"Arrogant? Ha—"

Scáthach chuckled, then said noncommittally, "Perhaps."

Before Artoria could speak, she waved her hand dismissively and continued, "Step back, little girl. You are not my target. What I seek is someone who can kill me."

"And in this Holy Grail War, there just happens to be such a person. And... there's more than one."

"My target is them, not you."

What do you mean?

I was ignored?

humiliation!

An undeniable humiliation!

The mighty King Arthur was treated as an insignificant nobody!

To be honest, given Artoria's personality, she was a little angry at this moment!

But she also knew that she was no match for Scáthach.

Rather than risk your life to fight them out of momentary anger.

It's better to leave now and look for an opportunity later...

Whether it was a sneak attack or poisoning, it didn't matter.

Let's get rid of Scáthach's Master first!

In the blink of an eye, Artoria was already preparing to run away.

However, before she could take any action...

With his A-class intuition, he suddenly sensed danger approaching.

At the critical moment, Artoria instinctively jumped to the left, completing an evasive maneuver.

In mid-air, her gaze shifted.

All he could see was a bottomless crack where he had just been standing...

Just by looking at the devastation on the beach, it's not hard to guess.

If I hadn't dodged it, that attack would probably have carried me away...

who is it? !

A new enemy has arrived?

Artoria sensed something and looked in the direction Irisviel had left.

I met a slender girl who was extremely beautiful.

The young girl smiled elegantly and reservedly, carrying Irisviel, whose face was full of embarrassment, as effortlessly as if she were carrying a chick.

"Sorry, Saber, I had only run a short distance when she caught me..."

Feeling utterly ashamed to face her fellow countrymen, Irisviel practically buried her face in her chest.

What's going on?

Artoria was even willing to risk her life to buy him time, but what happened?

He had barely escaped the tiger's mouth when he entered the wolf's den.

It's really hard to hold back.

It was a betrayal of Artoria's efforts.

"Greetings, esteemed heroes from ancient times."

Gently setting down Irisviel from her grasp, the light-gold-haired girl gracefully performed a curtsy.

She introduced herself, saying, "My name is Aika Sajou, nice to meet you."

Irisviel, who had been put down, saw that Ayaka Sajou didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her, so she quickly hid behind Artoria.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind.

The only person she can rely on now is Miss Arthur.

I don't know.

Whether it's Aika Sajou or Scáthach.

They meant her no harm.

They're just artificial humans.

Moreover, she is the vessel of the Lesser Grail, so who would want to harm her for no reason?

"Sajo Ai Uta?"

Artoria had never heard of this name before, which means...

"You're a modern magician?!"

"Yes, is there a problem, Miss Arthur?"

"........................"

I'm numb....

The guy with the ahoge never expected that his identity would be exposed so easily.

No?

What exactly is going on in this Holy Grail War?

Why are they all monsters like this?

Everyone can foresee the future, or perhaps they can see through things with their own names, right?

What a fart!

Let's just have the next one as soon as possible!

Artoria looked utterly dejected, having given up hope of ever winning the Holy Grail.

Given this situation, even calling Merlin probably wouldn't help.

However, that was not all that made her despair.

The appearance of Scáthach and Ayaka Sajou seems like some kind of opening signal.

Immediately afterwards, the light of spiritual particles shone everywhere.

The heroic spirits, who had been hidden for so long, revealed their true forms one by one!
