"It's more accurate to call them teammates than helpers."

Completely ignoring Saber's anger, the Irish Child of Light revealed a clearly irritating smile: "Although they both seem unreliable, they're quite capable... those two, Assassin and Berserker."

Gritting her teeth, just as Saber was about to turn around and return to help, the entire server's spears attacked again.

"Chong-"

"Your opponent is my woman! Let me enjoy myself a little longer before it's over—hahaha!"

"What is your purpose?!"

"Can't you see the purpose?!"

Resisting the fierce onslaught from Lancer, who seemed to be pouring all their energy into this limited time, Saber gritted her teeth and persevered: "Lancer has already left the stage, and you're not the real Lancer either. Who are you?!"

"Clang—"

The sword and spear clashed and separated again. The spearman, who had paused his attack, frowned and looked at the swordsman in front of him: "Hey, don't tell me you still don't understand the situation, woman."

"What's going on? This is the Fourth Holy Grail War, isn't it? Seven Heroic Spirits and Mages are fighting for the Holy Grail?"

"Fool, you think we're doing this for—"

From afar, where Einzbern Castle is located, a blinding flash of light erupted in the night, attracting the attention of the two heroic spirits. What followed was a violent impact that solidified into reality. Even from such a distance, the debris thrown and falling in the explosion could still be seen, reflected against the backdrop of crimson flames, like a nightmare.

"Damn, he actually got taken down!"

Saber, who fought with a belly full of doubts throughout, only heard Lancer's curse at the end, and then watched helplessly as he rushed in the direction where he was about to explode.

"Wait--"

【Saber, in the name of the Command Spell, I command you—kill Lancer】

----------segmentation----------

In the center of the castle, which had been razed to the ground by the impact and blast, Eve, who had sensed the unusual magical fluctuations, looked up at the distant sky. As the golden flash burst and disappeared, she received the expected news that the third Heroic Spirit who had not appeared with her had left the stage.

Even so, the energy expenditure is still far too great.

Calculating the number of "magical devices" consumed in the explosion just now, even with the support of the vast God Space, Lin Yi still couldn't help but feel the pinch. The speed at which Assassin and Berserker attacked was far too fast. Almost immediately after being summoned by the restraint force, they rushed straight to Eve's location without any regard for anything else, which meant that many of the previous arrangements could not be used.

Furthermore, their teamwork was so skillful that it was as if they were two heroes who had fought together in life. Every move they made was perfectly coordinated, so much so that even though their side had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they were still forced to end the battle without detonating all the magical artifacts stored under the castle.

In terms of results, the first day was successfully completed. The Terminator was not damaged and was well preserved. Our side also successfully eliminated three attacking Heroic Spirits—at the cost of 80% of our magical artifact reserves.

"...Two more days."

In World Four, the countdown to fusion at 38.3% on his retina slowly ticked away. Rubbing his temples, Lin Yi began to wonder if he should find two new helpers…

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 183, Day Two (Part 1)

Considering that the newly summoned Servants would target the castle, Kiritsugu Emiya moved Irisviel to another safe place in advance. It was a wise choice, as even Berserker, who had the ability to revive repeatedly, was reduced to ashes along with the entire castle in the explosion of more than two thousand magical devices. If she had stayed nearby at the time, she would have been torn to pieces.

However, this also led to a situation—

"Tell me, where is Irisviel?!"

The swordsman blocking Eve's path did not point his blade in their direction, yet his stance remained firm: he would not yield until he received an answer.

You should ask your Master this question.

That's a perfectly correct answer; even Lin Yi couldn't think of a more suitable response in this situation. However, in terms of the conclusion...

"Don't mention that despicable guy to me!"

—They were treated "incorrectly".

It's like an enhanced version of the state he was in after killing Lancer. I remember back then, it was Kiritsugu Emiya who devised a dishonorable scheme to stop the duel between the knights. So what about this time?

Recalling the golden magical glow he had seen in the direction of the forest, Lin Yi already had a guess in his mind.

Even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust that android.

At this point, Lin Yi was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Some things were quite troublesome to explain in detail, and he had no obligation to explain them to her.

Since she chose to trust Kiritsugu Emiya, she naturally has the responsibility to bear the consequences that trust might cause. I'm at best an ally... well, an ally who's been betrayed once. Under these circumstances, do you think he'd hand that homunculus over to me?

"..."

Faced with the silent swordsman, Lin Yi directly ordered Eve to leave. As Eve took her first step, Lin Yi subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword hilt, then let go dejectedly. But as they passed each other, he asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Is this what you wanted, Caster?"

The question went unanswered, only met with indifferent footsteps.

----------segmentation----------

Tohsaka family.

"An unexpected situation has arisen in the Holy Grail War."

Even though it was halfway across Fuyuki City, Tokiomi Tohsaka could easily detect the anomaly at Einzbern Castle—the shockwaves and sounds from the explosion had spread throughout the entire city. If you couldn't notice it at a time like this, you might as well just kill yourself instead of fighting the Holy Grail War.

Liu. Ling⑵e?rsan Siba sang “Qili”.

"Yes, master."

Has there been any news from the church?

The expressionless man shook his head: "Not yet. All we know is that a battle between Heroic Spirits has taken place in the Einzbern castle. One side might be a Caster, but we still don't have any concrete information about the other side..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned: "Isn't it Saber?"

"No, while Caster was fighting other Servants, Saber was also fighting an unknown Servant and unleashed her Noble Phantasm."

"Two heroic spirits?!"

Upon hearing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka's first reaction was that it was impossible. After all, with Lancer, Berserker, and Assassin all leaving the stage, only four Servants remained in Fuyuki City. If it was Rider who fought Caster in the Einzbern castle, then who was fighting Saber? It couldn't possibly be Archer, since as the Master who summoned the Servants, he had a considerable grasp of their whereabouts.

"In the end what happened……"

Not only the head of the Tohsaka family, but also the last participant in the Holy Grail War shared the same doubts.

"Hmm... Judging from the fluctuations in magical energy, both battles should have been fought between Heroic Spirits, but there are only four Heroic Spirits left in the Holy Grail War, and I didn't participate in any battles—"

Slapping his forehead, Rider asked his Master with some distress, "Can three Servants fight like four?"

"Idiot, of course that's impossible!"

"I think so too. Besides, I don't think Archer would take the initiative to attack anyone. It's so strange that there are two battles when it's just Saber and Caster."

The heroic spirit, suspended in mid-air, scanned the city below, trying to find any changes compared to before. Naturally, he couldn't find any "changes"—on the surface.

"never mind."

Waver, who was also pondering this question, looked at the Heroic Spirit he had summoned in surprise. In his understanding, this Heroic Spirit should not have reacted in this way. Could it be that he had misjudged him?

However, the magician realized in the next moment that he was wrong—terribly wrong.

"If you can't figure it out, why don't you just go and ask them!"

"Idiot! What do you think your relationship is? This is the most crucial moment of the Holy Grail War, and you actually ran to the enemy just to get an answer—"

"Hold on tight!"

The chariot pulling the thunder did not stop despite the magician's protests, and roared toward the ruins of Einzbern.

Five minutes later, the chariot that had fallen from the sky landed in the center of the ruins. Surrounding the land where the temperature had not completely dissipated, even a Heroic Spirit could not help but be surprised: "Good heavens, it is at least an A++ level anti-city Noble Phantasm, and it is released at full power."

The once magnificent castle has vanished, leaving only ruins and wreckage in a state of blind devastation. Naturally, he couldn't find anyone he was looking for in this uninhabitable place.

"Saber and her master must have run away together."

"They might have been killed..."

Rider slapped the magician, who was muttering a rebuttal, and laughed loudly, "Although she's just a little girl, as a hero who has left a legend in history, it's impossible for her to be so easily killed, and—"

The smile on Rider's face slowly faded. He turned to look at a certain spot in the ruins. Noticing the unusual behavior, Waver, ignoring the pain in his back, instinctively curled up and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Rider?"

"...Little one, can the defeated Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War be summoned a second time?"

"That's impossible—"

The magician abruptly stopped speaking after seeing the petite figure in the distance.

"Heroic spirits... how could this be..."

Smelling the thick stench of blood in the air, it wasn't hard to guess that she had killed many people before she arrived here; the direct evidence was the blood-stained dagger in her hand.

"I don't know where you came from."

Rider drew the short sword from his waist, his expression turning serious: "But it seems you, like me, don't want the other to leave here alive."

With the light leap of the silver-haired "girl," a "battle of Heroic Spirits" unrelated to the Holy Grail War was about to erupt.

The Mysteries of Magic: Chapter 184, Day Two (Part 2)

As dawn broke in the eastern sky, the intense magical fluctuations emanating from the ruins of Einzbern Castle convinced Lin Yi of one thing—the second wave of Heroic Spirits under the Counter Force had begun to be summoned.

In stark contrast to yesterday's almost blatant situation, this time the "cleaner" arrived almost silently. If it weren't for this suddenly appearing "teammate" who made contact with the enemy and started a battle, even Lin Yi might still be in the dark. This situation also exposes a problem.

"Our understanding of this world is still insufficient..."

If the resolution were high enough, this situation would never have occurred where the enemy had already gotten close enough to him and he was completely unaware. Perhaps it was because he had acted too hastily, but the limited time of the Holy Grail War also left Lin Yi with few options, unless he decided to wait sixty years and try again.

Of course, this is not possible (II) cold shrimp, Wu Ling wine, 3 sulfur for a long time.

Regardless of whether the fragments of its main god could remain indifferent to its own development over such a long period, even if it really waits until the Fifth Holy Grail War begins sixty years later, given that the will of this planet has already noticed the loophole in the Holy Grail War, it seems impossible that it wouldn't take steps to fix it. At that point, there would truly be nothing left to do but watch helplessly.

In other words, the only chance to achieve victory in one fell swoop is now.

"Let's ignore the battle over there for now. Although we don't know who's holding back one of the enemy's Heroic Spirits, let's take care of the remaining two first."

Upon receiving the order, Eve immediately left her hiding place and followed the index directly to the center of Fuyuki City.

"code: Area Search"

An invisible and intangible electromagnetic wave spread from the girl's location throughout the city. As the energy circuits beneath her skin manifested due to their high-intensity operation, the signals fed back by the electromagnetic waves formed a complete three-dimensional model, and quickly detected an anomaly within it—

If we were to pinpoint the easiest class for Lin Yi and Eve to deal with in this Holy Grail War, it would undoubtedly be the Berserker.

Due to Berserk mode and class restrictions, this Servant controlled by negative emotions has almost no ability to conceal their presence. In addition, when facing enemy Servants, they mostly choose to withstand attacks head-on—which is perfect for a magic weapon with a damage ratio of 9.5 for damage and 0.5 for concealment. As a result, in many cases, when facing this class of Servant, simply finding their location and then unleashing a full-scale barrage is enough to finish them off, and this time is no exception.

[Location locked.]

"code:lock"

[Quantity 23, evenly spaced, launch countdown]

The countdown from the main god's machine sounded simultaneously in the minds of the two, who were separated by a world.

[Air-to-ground missile, launch]

0.5 seconds later, the residents of Fuyuki City, still reeling from the explosion and tremors of the previous night, witnessed this almost horrifying scene early in the morning: on the horizon in the east, where the first light of dawn was just beginning to appear, several cone-shaped objects, trailing long plumes of flame, rose into the air, gradually enlarging as they flew until they were just tiny specks of light, almost disappearing on the other side of the sky—

[Target hit]

"boom------------!!!"

The flames shooting straight into the sky completely awakened the deathly silence of Fuyuki City. Never before had the word "war" been so close to people. However, the people who scattered and fled did not know that although it was still a war, this "war" was not quite the same as what they knew...

The target's presence has disappeared.

Relieved, Lin Yi immediately ordered Eve, who was clearly on the verge of collapse, to land and take cover. It was good to take down a Berserker whose face he hadn't even seen, but apart from the Fuyuki City where they were tied up in the castle ruins, there was still a third "Scavenger" of the Suppression Force hidden in the city.

"Next, we just need to find Saber and take down Lancer together. There's only one left, so there's no need to take any risks."

Just as Lin Yi was about to let Eve rest for a while to recover her energy before seeking help from his "ally," a communication request from his "ally" arrived ahead of time. With a sudden sense of foreboding, Lin Yi answered the call.

Saber encountered Lancer and Archer.

"...archer, which archer?"

On the other end of the communicator, watching the scene below like a bombing, Kiritsugu Emiya said numbly, "Gilgamesh."

In the history of Gilgamesh—who is said to be the oldest king in the world—if there is any person he acknowledged, it would probably be his close friend who lived in the same era: Enkidu.
