The battle came faster than Shen He had imagined.

The tentacles were also more disgusting than Shen He had imagined.

This was not the two-dimensional picture in the animation. The tentacle monster that appeared in front of everyone was covered with dark blood clots and sticky brown liquid, like a piece of meat that was moldy in a damp corner. The pungent smell kept coming as the meat approached.

It felt like being touched by this thing would never be clean for the rest of your life.

"Jeanne, is it okay?" Shen He was already wearing the evil spirit.

"Well, please leave it to me."

Jeanne waved her spear and bravely rushed towards these disgusting tentacles. She was originally a ruler with super perception, and Jill's location could not be hidden from her perception at all.

"Then" Shen He stopped Altria who was about to fight together, "There should be a servant approaching soon. You stay here, and Lancer will be left to you to deal with."

"Lancer?"

Altria remembered the servant who had the ability to seduce women, glanced at the other people around her, and nodded.

She just thought Shen He arranged it this way because she would not be affected by the charm.

"Esdeath." Shen He looked at Esdeath who was already eager to try, "I'll leave the monsters here to you. It should take some time."

Boom!

The huge roar and the endless air explosion interrupted Shen He's words.

As Esdeath drew out the sword, the huge icicles shattered the earth, and all the tentacles were frozen in an instant, and the cold breath gradually dissipated.

"Next, where is the prey?" Esdeath asked with the sword flower.

"Shen He swallowed the words in his mouth again.

These tentacle monsters that can recover even if they are split should be more difficult to deal with, but they are considered to have met their nemesis in front of Esdeath.

Seeing her unsatisfied look

, at this time, the sky not far away showed lightning and thunder.

Shen He's eyes lit up.

"Esdeath, that person is your enemy." Shen He pointed at the Conqueror King who landed on the ground.

"Oh?"

Esdeath's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

During this period, she went to the dungeon world to hunt a large number of monsters, but she didn't meet any interesting prey.

Shen He mourned for the emperor for three seconds.

He jumped and chased after Jeanne.

At the same time, on a tall building not far away, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been squatting here for a long time, was observing the situation below through the scope on the sniper rifle.

What a terrifying magic.

He could clearly see how the woman with sky blue hair easily released magic of that power.

And he still couldn't find the corresponding magic path from any known magic family.

In addition,

he shifted the camera to his wife. From the position, Irisviel was in a safe position under strict guard, and even Tristan stayed away from her as a vigilant person.

There was no chance.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu was surrounded by despair in his heart, but he still didn't give up. He was looking for a glimmer of hope.

As for the bounty on Caster issued by the church, now is not the time to easily consider such unnecessary things.

And at this time in the picture.

Esdeath had stepped on the icicles and stood in front of the King of Conquerors.

"What a pure will to fight."

The King of Conquerors stared at the woman in front of him with his bright red eyes and gave a heartfelt admiration.

"You are not bad either." Esdeath looked at the King of Conquerors with a satisfied look, "Prey that can only wail can also bring fun, but it ends too quickly."

"It is too rude to regard me as prey." The King of Conquerors looked at the tentacles that were frozen around him and touched the back of his head with a simple and honest look, "Although my original intention was to help, since the boring opponent has been solved, then, the little girl in front of you, be careful. Once my road to conquest begins, even women and children will only have two choices: surrender or defeat."

"Only the weak need to choose. Wait until you defeat me before you talk big."

Esdeath raised the sword high, and a large number of ice cones taller than a person emerged, stabbing at the King of Conquerors with biting cold and violent sounds of breaking through the air.

Thunder and lightning.

This blow with no blind spots was actually dodged by the Conqueror King driving his chariot in an instant.

All the ice cones mercilessly left traces on the ground as if they had been bombed by landmines.

"Oh, what a powerful force, Weber, stay on the car." The Conqueror King's domineering aura was already rising. He showed a majestic smile and drew the sword at his waist.

"Assemble, my compatriots! Today, our heroic figures will conquer the earth again!"

As if responding to the king's call.

The billowing hot air surged out of thin air. The warriors who once followed the Conqueror King on horseback crossed time and space and reappeared the battlefield of the past in the world. It was a magnificent yellow sand land. Looking to the extreme, one could only see the sky and the horizon of this land.

This was the Conqueror King's treasure, the King's Army.

In this huge barrier that was formed almost instantly, the huge army lined up neatly stepped out step by step in the yellow sand.

Those were the soldiers who had formed a bond with the King of Conquerors in history and created brilliant achievements together. Each of them was a genuine Heroic Spirit, and there were tens of thousands of them. In addition to being unable to use Noble Phantasms, many of them even possessed more powerful powers than the King of Conquerors.

"Rider." This was the first time that Weber saw the Noble Phantasms of his own Servant. Shocked by the magnificent momentum, he collapsed on the chariot and trembled, "Is it necessary to use Noble Phantasms? The other party is not a Servant, but a magician."

"What nonsense are you talking about." The King of Conquerors flicked Weber's forehead helplessly, "Although I am a king, my personal martial arts are not outstanding, and this girl is undoubtedly more powerful than me, a Heroic Spirit."

Just as the King of Conquerors said.

Seeing such a huge army, Esdeath's face was not afraid at all, but full of excitement as if she had received a gift.

"How could it be! Stronger than you, Rider!" Weber's face turned pale, "Then, will you die, Rider?"

"Maybe."

The King of Conquerors did not deny this possibility, because he undoubtedly felt the threat of death from the other party.

But

"Warriors!" The King of Conquerors raised his sword again, "The enemy is a warrior who has experienced many battles, but our tyranny is enough to flatten everything! Because conquering has become our instinct! Obey the king's order, charge!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge!!"

The long horn sounded, accompanied by deafening shouts, and the army like smoke rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky.

But Esdeath, standing alone in front of this army, was not afraid.

"This is how fighting should be!" Esdeath had a happy smile on her face, "King of the Alien Race, show off your strength to your heart

's content! If you can't defeat me, no matter how magnificent your momentum is, it's just the groan of the weak. Let me see how many strong people there are among you, General Binglan!" As the voice fell.

The azure light quickly bloomed behind Esdeath, and after the light faded, a large number of crystal clear ice knights appeared.

Esdeath's second trick, although these are just lifeless puppets, but with the blessing of the imperial equipment, each ice knight has a combat power far beyond that of ordinary people.

There is no roar of horse hooves.

There is no trumpet to boost morale.

On one side is a passionate army, and on the other side is a cold and cold machine.

This is no longer a battle between two people, but a huge battlefield that can be called a meat grinder.

Both the King of Conquerors and Esdeath began to fight to their heart's content in this huge battlefield.

At this time, outside the barrier.

No one appreciated the battlefield inside the barrier. In everyone's sight, Esdeath and Rider disappeared, leaving only the surging magic power in the calm space.

But just as everyone was alert, the breath of a servant suddenly appeared in the distance of the city, and the undisguised fighting spirit.

It was Lancer!

Artoria directly confirmed this breath, and just like that day, he provoked everyone at a fixed location.

"That's your opponent." Saiki Kusuo appeared beside Artoria.

"Yes!" Artoria nodded and clenched the invisible sword in her hand, "I will definitely return victorious."

Even if she really couldn't save the kingdom.

She couldn't let down the countless warriors who followed her to the battlefield in pursuit of glory.

Victory always belongs to the knight!

Artoria strode towards the direction where Lancer was.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was paying close attention to the Chaldea side, naturally saw this scene, and with just a little thought, he could understand the purpose of Lancer's master.

Lancer, who almost lost his Servant in the first battle, would probably find it difficult to detect and obtain information about the events that happened in the next day. The reason why Lancer was provoked from such a distance was that the arrogant genius magician probably just wanted to lure away the Servants of Chaldea and then deal with them alone, or capture the remaining people.

However, for

this hypothesis to be true, two requirements need to be met.

Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He slightly relaxed the tense muscles in his arms to allow his brain to think more sharply.

First, someone had to tell Lancer's Master that the Master who had severely injured Lancer with one blow was no longer here. Secondly, in the Chaldean camp at this time, in addition to King Arthur, the Servant, there was another Servant's aura, that is his own Saber, Tristan. No matter

how arrogant that genius magician was, he would not be stupid enough to think that he could fight against the Servant.

Unless

his heart suddenly accelerated, after realizing one of the possible situations, the feeling of extreme danger covered Emiya Kiritsugu's whole body.

There was no need to question it anymore, and there was no need to think about it anymore.

Because life and death were at this moment.

Kiritsugu Emiya dropped the precious sniper rifle in his hand, and pulled out the pistol at his waist as he rolled towards the corner. Then, the door that had been silent exploded, and the flames engulfed the entire space with heat waves, shattering all the glass in the room.

The noisy crowd screamed instantly, but Kiritsugu Emiya had no time to pay attention to them.

Because in the passage covered by flames, a tall figure wearing a strange mask, with an extremely thin body, like a ghost, stood there quietly.

Assassin.

Even if it was just an existence that could be called an avatar, the weakest of all the servants was still a Heroic Spirit after all.

So that's how

Kiritsugu Emiya figured it all out. Assassin's Master already knew that he was Tristan's Master, and cooperated with Lancer's Master.

The purpose was to lead Tristan away from Irisviel.

But he had no choice.

A Command Seal on the back of his hand glowed, and the next moment, under the power of the Command Seal, Tristan crossed the space and came directly in front of Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Kill the assassin!" Even the usually calm Emiya Kiritsugu's words were filled with murderous intent.

Summoning Tristan to his side was equivalent to completely giving up hope of saving Irisviel and leaving his wife's life to the mercy of the enemy.

"Yes, Master."

Tristan slid the strings of his zither gently with a sad expression.

Another battle broke out.

Near this battlefield, the crowd was already in a panic.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was supposed to be a participant in the battle, now had to work with the church's supervisor and the magician sent by the church to set up a large barrier to cover the entire battlefield as much as possible, while doing his best to disperse the crowd.

It is Toshiomi's duty as a magician to keep the secrets of magic out of the lives of ordinary people.

However, the scale of this Holy Grail War has completely exceeded the initial expectations since Chaldea's strong intervention. What's worse is that he can't contact Kotomine Kirei, who should have obeyed his orders, at this time, and can't get any information from Assassin. Shen He's warning seems to have been confirmed.

And his own servant.

Toshiomi looked up at the sky. The Hero King Gilgamesh was standing on the huge flying treasure Vimana, drinking fine wine leisurely and looking down at the fierce battles in several places below with pleasure.

It was like watching a circus performance.

Thinking of the scene of kneeling in front of Gilgamesh and begging, but being rejected domineeringly, Toshiomi Toshiomi understood that he and the Hero King had completely broken up.

The three Command Seals in his hand were his only remaining trump cards.

"Mr. Toshiomi."

Just as Toshiomi Toshiomi was thinking about how to use the Command Seals, a magician sent by the church to assist hurried over.

"The fighting aura of two Servants appeared in the church, and the magic power surged abnormally, and the supervisor was still trapped there!"

"Church!?" Tohsaka Tokiomi was shocked.

In a normal Holy Grail War, no servant would choose to fight in the church as a safe house.

As the supervisor, Kotomine Ri had dozens of Command Seals left over from the previous Holy Grail Wars in her hands. Even if there were no contracted servants to command, it would be enough to attract most of the masters as a reward.

"Let's go!" Tohsaka Tokiomi made a decision quickly.

He had no choice. Kotomine Ri was a good friend of the Tohsaka family and his assistant in this Holy Grail War. Even as a magician, he could not sit idly by and watch the crisis of the church.

The two servants fighting in the church at this time were Lancer and Altria who had received the aura and rushed over.

"I thought you were a warrior who valued the morality of chivalry." Altria frowned and looked at Diarmait who pointed the tip of his gun at the old priest, "So you are also a despicable person who holds the weak hostage?" "

"

Diarmait did not speak.

But the veins on his hand holding the spear were already bulging.

If anyone attacked him, he would kill Kotomine Risei as the supervisor. This was exactly what his Master, Kenneth, had ordered him to do with the Command Seals.

The purpose and intent were obvious. This was to delay any Servants who came because of the aura.

Most Servants and Masters would care about the identity of the Supervisor, and if the Supervisor could be saved, it would be easy to get one or two extra Command Seals.
