Tosaka Rin was unaware of the changes that had taken place at the Emiya residence.

In her opinion, if she had not brought Archer to patrol the school on the first night of the Holy Grail War, she would not have met Cu Chulainn, and naturally would not have dragged Shirou Emiya into it.

Even if Illya, the protector of the Einzbern family, is hostile to Shirou Emiya, she will not actively attack Shirou Emiya if he does not have a Servant.

After all, he was her adopted brother.

At this moment, Tosaka Rin is more worried about the problem of Ryudo Temple.

&ter should be entrenched in Ryudo Temple, and Matou Ruyan should come to attack Caster, so why can't we find any trace of these two people in Ryudo Temple at this moment? Is there something that happened that she doesn't know about?

Tosaka Rin made a quick decision and told Izawa Sugi: "Look carefully for the people in Ryudo Temple, especially a tall, thin, short-haired middle-aged man wearing glasses."

According to the information that Tosaka Rin knew, Matou Dirty Ink attacked Ryudo Temple at night. Other people in Ryudo Temple, such as Ryudo Kazue, were only admitted to the hospital. Only Soichiro Kuzuki, a junior high school teacher who also lived in Ryudo Temple, died.

Rin Tosaka speculates that Soichiro Kuzuki is the suzerain of Caster.

Since there is no trace of Caster and Matou Ruin in Ryudo Temple at the moment, we might as well take the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of Kuzuki Soichiro.

Izawa Sugi saw what Tosaka Rin was thinking, and thought that this protector had considered things carefully, so he followed Tosaka Rin's orders and began to check the people in Ryudo Temple.

Most of the people in Liudong Temple are monks. There is a wide open space at the entrance, with rooms on both sides and the main hall of the temple in the front.

Behind Liudong Temple is a large hall for private memorial services, and behind that is a wide lake. The lake is not deep, about one meter high, and there are some dead lotus leaves growing in it.

There is a side hall by the lake, surrounded by a fence, where guests who come to burn incense can admire the lotus flowers. Behind the side hall are houses and warehouses where monks live, as well as some courtyards belonging to the temple.

Izawa Sugi and Tosaka Rin investigated separately, and Izawa Sugi handed a short sword to Tosaka Rin.

"You carry it with you. In case of a fatal attack, I will switch places with you."

Tosaka Rin took the short sword and put it on her waist.

Ize Shan walked along the lakeside fence towards the monks' quarters at the back. It was already late at night, and the monks living in Ryudo Temple had all returned to their rooms to rest.

Ize Shan hesitated for a moment, then he simply performed a small wind escape move.

The breeze blew on the paper door, making a rustling sound.

Soon, there was movement in the room closest to the lotus viewing fence. A middle-aged man wearing glasses, a shirt and gloves opened the sliding door and walked out.

Ize Shan's eyes flickered. Was his luck so good? Did he find the target directly?

He called out to Tosaka Rin in his heart.

"Is this Soichiro Kuzuki?"

Tosaka Rin was investigating the private memorial hall on the other side of Ryudo Temple. When she heard what Izawa Sugi said, she quickly asked, "What does he look like? Does he have a Command Seal in his hand?"

Izawa Sugi described the middle-aged man's appearance: "... because he was the only one wearing an ordinary shirt, while other monks wore pajamas and yukatas ready for sleep even when they came out to close the door."

"Besides, he was wearing gloves. I couldn't see if he had a Command Seal."

Tosaka Rin frowned deeply: "Could he be the Lord of the Rings?"

If Soichiro Kuzuki is still the Lord, what about his Servant? What about Caster?

"Let me try it out."

Izawa Sugi said this, shook his wrist, and a golden chain appeared out of thin air.

Tosaka Rin: "Archer?"

Izawa Sugi: "If he really has a Servant, after being attacked, the Servant will rush to rescue the Lord."

Tosaka Rin accelerated towards Izawa Sugi's location. She passed through the main hall, bypassed the side rooms of the main hall, and hid in the corner of the corridor: "Okay, be careful."

She chose a suitable corner to construct the barrier, and after a slight hesitation, she took out two gems that could instantly release A-level magic to construct a magic array with concealment and protection properties.

If Soichiro Kuzuki is the Archer, his Servant will definitely come to rescue the Archer. When the Servant focuses on attacking Archer, it is the opportunity for Rin Tosaka to launch a sneak attack.

The girl quickly set up the magic formation, and only then did she have time to look up at the battle in the distance.

Then her eyes widened slightly.

Ding Dong——

The long and slender golden chain was like a living thing, moving freely in the air. The black-haired boy jumped in the air like an agile black panther or a swift eagle. He swung the chain and pounced towards Soichiro Kuzuki from top to bottom.

Tosaka Rin couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The Archer she summoned doesn't use a bow, but a chain?

Soichiro Kuzuki noticed that the wind just now felt wrong. As a front-line killer, he was keenly aware of the hostility in the air, so he took the initiative to walk out of the room to meet the enemy.

When he saw Izawa Sugi coming down with the chain in his hand, Soichiro Kuzuki suddenly arched his body and cleverly avoided the chain attack. At the same time, he slipped his feet, clenched his fists, and punched Izawa Sugi who was about to fall!

Bang--

Although he was just an ordinary man, Soichiro Kuzuki's punch was extremely powerful, and the force he exerted even made a sound of breaking through the air.

Just as Izawa Sugi was about to be hit, he suddenly stepped his left foot on his right foot in mid-air, and his body bent like a butterfly, forcibly staying in the air for a second. Then, as if a spring had been stretched out, he flew over Soichiro Kuzuki and flipped over nimbly.

The whole movement is as smooth as flowing water, with a sense of strong and powerful beauty.

The golden chain in his hand silently made a circle, with one end entangled with the fence and the other end directly entangled with Soichiro Kuzuki's ankle.

After Izawa Sugi landed on the ground, he pulled hard, and Soichiro Kuzuki's body fell towards Izawa Sugi uncontrollably!

"Beautiful!" Seeing this scene, Rin Tosaka couldn't help but exclaim.

Soichiro Kuzuki crossed his hands in front of his chest, and this time it was Izawa Sugi's turn to punch.

He deliberately restrained his strength, punched Soichiro Kuzuki on the forearm, and successfully knocked Soichiro Kuzuki into the lake in front.

Blah-la-la——

The lake water made a rustling sound, and Soichiro Kuzuki rolled twice in the lake.

Izawa Sugi did not chase immediately. He exerted force on his feet, jumped lightly onto the fence, raised his hand and swung the golden chain towards Soichiro Kuzuki's position again.

Soichiro Kuzuki stood up from the lake. He didn't say anything, but just casually threw his glasses away, tore open the collar of his shirt, and made a standard boxer's ready stance.

When the chain was about to wrap around, Soichiro Kuzuki suddenly reached out and grabbed the chain. The next second, he shook his wrist, wrapped it around two or three times, and then pulled it hard!

Izawa Sugi smiled. He did not compete with Soichiro Kuzuki in strength, but fell into the lake according to the force of the force.

Tiny ripples arose from under his feet, and Izawa Sugi stepped on the surface of the lake. Instead of feeling embarrassed about being dragged away, he approached Kuzuki Soichiro quickly like a swimming fish.

Tosaka Rin's eyes widened.

Why can Archer stand steadily on the lake?

Thinking of what Izawa Sugi said, "I have many real names, and I can adapt to many jobs," Tosaka Rin's eyes fell on the chain in Izawa Sugi's hand. She was thoughtful. Could it be that Archer's weapon is not just a chain? But it can adapt to various battle situations?

Boom——

Izawa Sugi collided with Kuzuki Soichiro again, but this time Izawa Sugi increased his strength. Kuzuki Soichiro, who had been able to defend himself, flew backwards in a very desperate posture and fell into the lake.

He struggled hard, but couldn't stand up again for a long time.

Izawa Sugi slowed down and walked slowly towards Soichiro Kuzuki.

There was a dagger in his hand, and the moment he raised the dagger high, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura that was so thin that it was almost non-existent.

Ize Shan was shocked. What a brilliant technique of holding one's breath and hiding!

The next second he suddenly yelled: "Rin!!"

Tosaka Rin: “Huh?”

Click.

Something is broken.

From the corner of her eye, Tosaka Rin saw that the magic formation she had set up was actually shattered!

That was A-level magic defense! It was easily torn apart like a piece of white paper, and the enemy's attack almost hit her!

At the critical moment, the world spun in front of Tosaka Rin's eyes. The next second, her feet went soft and she fell into the lake with a splash. Izawa Sugi had already appeared in Tosaka Rin's previous position.

Originally, Izawa Sugi had only one chain in his hand, but the moment he and Tosaka Rin exchanged positions, at least eight chains began to fly synchronously around him.

The chains made a clear clanging sound, and the golden seal array spread out with Izawa Sugi as the center.

But Izawa Shan never expected that the sealing formation was completely ineffective, and the opponent's attack easily tore the formation apart. If Izawa Shan had not intuitively felt that something was wrong and subconsciously pulled a chain in front of him, he would have been pierced!

bite--

The attack hits the chain and bounces off.

Ize Shan's eyes widened slightly.

Guns? This Servant's weapon is a gun? Is he a modern Servant?

Izawa Sugi subconsciously used all his strength to [look] in the direction of the attack.

In the state of clarity, a gray shadow that seemed to appear and disappear was running quickly, and Ize Shan finally caught sight of the other party's figure.

It was a man wearing a red hood.

Although he was also wearing soft armor and had a dagger on his waist, he had a gun on his back and a single-shot pistol in his hand.

The specifications and appearance of this ** are somewhat familiar.

The gun that seemed familiar to Izawa Sugi, coupled with the feeling of time freezing when the Servant suddenly rushed out just now...

Izawa Shan felt horror all over.

He thought of Kiritsugu, the protector of Artoria during the last Holy Grail War.

Izawa Sugi immediately supported himself on the ground with one hand and dodged a sudden backwards to avoid a possible second attack. Then, without hesitation, he flew to the side of Tosaka Rin using the Thunder God.

Tosaka Rin was still confused and was about to say something, but the next second she was suspended in mid-air and subconsciously screamed: "Archer?"

"retreat."

Izawa Sugi grabbed Tosaka Rin and walked away casually. With a whoosh, he used Flying Thunder God to escape from Ryudo Temple.

Tosaka Rin pursed her lips, and when she reached a safe place, she asked Izawa Sugi: "Have you figured out the enemy's situation?"

"It's Assass." Izawa Shan's face looked a little ugly. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Assass seems to have the ability to speed up a fixed time, but this is not the most troublesome thing."

He looked at Tosaka Rin, "He seems to be able to easily tear apart all magic formations constructed by magic. This is an attack on a person's magic circuit. Once you are hit by the attack, you can no longer be a magician."

Tosaka Rin was stunned, her whole body was frozen.

She murmured, "An attack on the magic circuit...?"

No wonder she was unaware of the enemy before he showed up, this is Assass's special ability to conceal his breath!

No wonder the defensive formation I set up was ineffective. It's not that the formation was ineffective, but that the enemy's attack was a special attack against magic!

Just a little bit, Tosaka Rin was terrified, she almost became a useless person!!

"You said before that Caster might be entrenched in Ryudo Temple. My chain can interfere with magic power and magic formations to a certain extent, so..." Izawa Shan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect to meet Assass."

I didn't expect that man to become a Servant.

Emiya Kiritsugu is a man who will do anything to achieve victory.

Ize Shan had a headache: "Let's go back first. Assass is not easy to deal with. His ability is completely aimed at magicians. If he finds your location and I'm not by your side, you'll be doomed."

Tosaka Rin felt unwell.

As far as she knew, Assass was Hassan the Cursed Wrist, so how did he become a member of the Anti-Magic Circuit Special Attack?

And how did Soichiro Kuzuki become the master of Assass? Then who is the master of Caster?

Tosaka Rin couldn't help pulling her hair.

Ahhhh! You're a survivor of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and yet you still know nothing. This is so, so embarrassing!
