A dark palace without light.

Only she exists alone here.

Silent steps crawl on the cold stone slab.

Obsidian walls lacking in color outline cold lines in the field of view.

This is her world, a lonely palace with no one.

She forgot how long she had been here, and kept waiting for a change to appear. Perhaps at that moment, she would see the so-called light again.

In the empty time, all you can record is the heart that is slowly beating in the chest, recalling the temperature it once had.

Consciousness extends in the dark like a snake. Once upon a time, it could penetrate into human dreams. The active soul of human beings in the dreams is like a huge bonfire lit in the dark, attracting her without temperature, turning into a nightmare and running towards the light she once had.

Even in dreams, light has the meaning of chasing for her.

However, this dark palace had no outlet, and her search would eventually lead to nothing.

She had already understood this fact, without despair, resentment, and helplessness.

The only thing that supports her forward is to look for this behavior, rather than to find the result of her goal.

Plop, plop...

The slow heartbeat records the pace of searching, without beginning or end.

Until, the world changed.

The changes she was looking forward to happened when she had long forgotten to expect them.

Beautiful purple flowers bloom in the closed darkness.

A petite girl stood in front of her, her body trembling in the cold air, and tears with body temperature fell from her pale cheeks.

"Save me..."

The girl was shouting silently, and she finally stopped looking for it.

"Who will save me..."

Tears fell into the cold ground, making a crisp sound.

Tears fell on her body and penetrated into her skin.

It dissolved into the bloodline, and the heat of the burning flames spread from the girl to her body, turning into boiling river waves, surging.

~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first thing rider did to open her eyes from a dark dream was to observe her lost left leg.

The magic provided by Rin greatly accelerated her recovery, and her lost left leg was quickly reborn, but the purple servant still felt that the wounded person existed.

It turned out that there was a irreparable incompleteness in her complete body. The pain and despair, anger and love from Sakura were pouring into her body from that wound.

It seemed that the wound had become a holy mark connecting her and Sakura, which was a spell.

--cherry.

Rider recalled the crying girl she saw in her dream, and her eyes under the blindfolded dimmed slightly.

The slender female body lost its form and weight. She penetrated the wall and left the exquisite bedroom that Rin arranged for her.

The courtyard of Tosaka Mansion has a protective barrier, which is inconvenient to enter and exit, so she chose to move upward.

But there is another person on this roof.

“rider—”

The red knight was watching the sudden appearance of the female servant.

The rider appeared from the air and stood at the other end at a certain distance from the archer.

She was so close that she could approach the other person before the archer took out the bow and arrow.

As far as Archer does any moves, she also has plenty of time to react.

"Thank you for saving us."

On the roof that Rin could not see, the bright red knight who had been swallowed by darkness seemed to come alive, and the guardian posture of a statue-like silent one thawed. He bent down and sincerely thanked the purple knight.

However--

"But I can't trust you."

Archer said seriously.

"Although I violated Sakura's orders to help you, I still consider Sakura first. If your strategy hurts Sakura, you will be my enemies."

Rider made her attitude coldly. She was not angry at the archer's attitude. The two Servants standing at both ends of the roof seemed to be independent of two different worlds.

"However, you hope to solve the problem of avenger, even if he is Sakura's protector."

"The appearance of avenger is a mistake."

The purple knight said coldly.

"That soul is the dead man who is divided from your soul and revived with Shiro Emiya's left hand cut off as a carrier. And in the soul trapped in the dark, there is something I cannot understand."

"The magic that constitutes these dark servant bodies all comes from the black warriors of that day. According to rider, isn't that guy dead yet?"

"Or, maybe it's a more terrifying existence than that guy."

Rider said in contemplation, and on his slightly sided face, his cherry lips bit his lips and showed a hint of embarrassment.

"The black warrior was originally a war intruder. The doll work of Masahis Kimura was unfortunately polluted by some kind of dark magic, and then he became a violent tyrannical person who was unrecognizable to his relatives. His desire for life and his desire for killing came from another thing, and more terrifying things."

"Is it Sakura?"

The bright red knight suddenly spoke in a cold tone, arousing rider's surprise gaze.

In a moment of thought, rider realized the source of the other person's thoughts and his expression became clear.

——After all, he was a boy named Shirou Emiya, a girl who had never been saved in the present or in the future.

"Sakura's body contains fragments of the previous Holy Grail. She has no idea why the tainted Holy Grail fragments are not known, and she doesn't know why. Her magic seems to have self-consciousness and desire life, so her magic will plunder life uncontrollably."

——The girl who was manipulated by the darkness in her body, the imprint insect that was swallowing all the time in her body absorbed the girl's vitality, and spent a short life in pain, but never asked for help from her beloved senior.

"We can calculate when this dark magic swallowed the black warrior, causing the dark servant who had created the body with dark magic in the last battle of death of the black warrior, which was born with the dark magic to have a connection with Sakura."

——Of course, the young man who failed to discover Sakura's pain became a hero who could save countless people with his own efforts, but in the end he found that there was a girl around him, who died quietly in pain, and his dying eyes still maintained a deep love for his senior.

"So, avenger will appear next to Sakura and protect this girl at all costs."

——Ideal is a hero who saves everyone, and a desire to sacrifice everything and protect a girl.

"But his appearance also comes at a price. He obtained part of Shirou Emiya's body and obtained powerful power comparable to the real Shirou Emiya. His soul was also targeted by the same coveted part of the body. His current soul was formed by two almost completely incompatible wills, which were forcibly entangled together."

——While wishes are realized, heroes who betray their ideals also bring the root of destruction.

The bright red knight snorted softly.

"So although Avenger is dedicated to protecting Sakura, he will not know when he will go crazy."

"I can find a way to protect the will of avenger as much as possible, but I don't know how long this state can last. Sakura has already placed all her spirit on this avenger that shouldn't exist, and it is no longer understandable."

Rider's identity was once the priest of God. If she declared that she could maintain the soul of Avenger with her magic level, she would definitely do it, but rider could no longer imagine how to reverse the master's intentions.

Even the heroes of the God generation have to get into trouble with this matter.

"So you hope we can kill Avenger, even in front of Sakura."

Anger ignited in rider's eyes, and then turned into a helpless sigh.

"Maybe this is the only way, of course, it must be after you find a way to kill avenger."

This helplessness is not a contempt for archer, but a result of the two servers present who were helpless towards avenger.

avenger is a replica of archer. It is obvious that he has the ability to project avenger treasures and can even liberate the real name of the treasures.

Avenger's copying can even copy the enemy's skills instantly, causing many of the enemy's tricks to be cracked before they can be used.

At the same time, he used Sakura, who had absorbed countless magic powers in his body, and his magic power reserves were higher than many servants.

There is also a strange curse that can shock the hero king.

No matter what treasures or techniques are used, the opponent can copy them perfectly and can be invincible against almost any enemy.

After thinking about this, the two Servants fell silent at the same time.

At the same time, the bright red bow follower and the purple-haired knight thought of another servant.

——saber.

After a day's rest, the girl holding a sword was now fully armed and was running again on the streets of Touki City.

What would she do if it was the girl who was still fighting against Avenger?

~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's so dark.

It oppresses the soul gloomy.
