() The Tosaka family mansion in the remote mountain town of Fuyuki City.

Tosaka Toki is talking to his apprentice Kotomine Kirei through the communication magic device that the Asters are heading to Einzbern Castle, which should be a revenge move. Since the Riders flew away from the air, they cannot find their stronghold yet, but

The assassins have been searched separately.

There will be news about the letter soon. There is no movement from the Matou family and the Asagami family now." Kotomine Kirei responded calmly, without any emotion in his words. However, he did not seem to notice the mention of the Einzbern camp.

, he uses "Emiya Kiritsugu" instead of Saber's master.

"It seems that the plan was successfully implemented. At least the masters have targeted the avenger. So what will the avenger do?" Tokiomi Tosaka asked calmly.

"Assassin, who was looking for Rider, unexpectedly discovered Avenger's whereabouts. He took eight children to Einzbern Castle." Kirei Kotomine paused, "In addition, Maya Asagami also acted just now, and it was

Three people go out together."

"You mean even Asakami Akuri came out?" Tokiomi Tosaka was quite surprised. No wonder, from the beginning to the present of the Holy Grail War, Patchouli has been sitting at Maya's house reading, I won't interfere in one picture

The appearance of the Holy Grail War is actually followed now.

"It's supposed to be a truce period, so come out and do some exercise."

"No, you don't know the deeds of this great magician. It is said that she stayed in the library of the Clock Tower for more than a year, traveling back and forth between her residence and the library. She acted with a strong purpose, that is, Ai

There is something about Inzbern Castle that attracts her." Tokiomi Tosaka asserted. This is also wrong, the only thing that makes Patchouli put down her book is something that interests her more.

"..." Kotomine Kirei on the other side of the magic device was silent for a while before saying goodbye to Tokiomi Tosaka, "I need to sort out some things, so I'll take my leave first."

"Just remember to let Assassin handle anything, and try to take as few risks as possible."

"Yes, Master." Kotomine Kirei lied frankly. He turned around and walked out of the church, heading in the direction of Einzbern Castle.

The Einzbern Castle is full of excitement tonight!

At the same time, not far from Einzbern City, the trio of real feathers arrived, but they did not take any action, they just quietly looked at the castle towering in the distance.

"The Einzbern family is really wealthy." Zhen Yu sighed.

"It's just a castle, there's nothing to feel sorry for." Nero said disdainfully.

"It is said that this castle was moved here from Germany using magic. It is really a big deal." Such a move is already a large-scale joint magic. The cost of materials and energy loss are not small, and the purpose is actually to reconcile with the distant people.

The Saka family is vindictive, which is why Maya laments the Einzbern family's wealth.

Suddenly, the barrier of Einzbern Castle began to shake. In the eyes of Mayu and the others, the barrier invisible to ordinary people appeared in a ripple-like abnormality.

"Has it started? It seems that Avenger still chose Artoria as the first target of attack, and it is such a high-profile attack."

"Maybe they noticed the strength of the three of us last night." Patchouli analyzed. This is not impossible. Although only Nero among the three of them took action last night, maybe Marshal Giles' beast-like

Intuition will make him instinctively avoid danger and temporarily give up the option of Nero.

"What an irrational beast. If it weren't for those masters, they would be here soon." Maya said, "And Kotomine Kirei, he won't let go of such a good opportunity - even the assassin who is always following behind.

It’s a little upsetting.”

Assassin's breath blocking has an A+, which is already a very high level and is almost impossible to detect. Unless it enters the attack state, the breath blocking level will drop significantly. Zhen Yu's sensitive perception cannot detect it.

As for the assassin's location, his intuition told him vaguely that someone was watching from behind.

"It's appeared!" Of course, Irisviel couldn't hide the abnormality in the castle barrier. She displayed the image of the intruder captured by the barrier on the crystal ball.

The intruder was wearing pitch-black cassocks, with patterns dyed red, exuding an ominous evil aura, and with big eyes, like wild beasts—not so much a heroic spirit as a vengeful spirit.

Avenger looked up at the castle and shouted loudly: "Your Highness the Saint, I came to visit you as promised last night. Master of the Saint, please give me an order to let me visit that beautiful Saint again.

one side."

"Why did he bring those children here? Want to be hostages?" asked Nero, who was watching from a distance.

"No, it's a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the summoned demon." Zhen Yu's voice was filled with anger. Avenger's behavior really made people feel indignant.

Saber in the castle stared closely at Irisviel, urging her to give orders quickly. As a servant, the girl was ready to fight. However, her master was still hesitant. Avenger did not step into the castle's boundaries.

, such a distance is not afraid of the traps and traps set inside, and there are eight children around him, which is even more frightening. Avenger's behavior is obviously to lure Saber into battle.

"It seems I still can't make up my mind. Then, I'll play a game first." Avenger let out an unpleasant laugh.

"Listen kids, we're starting hide and seek. The rules are simple. Just run away from me. If you get caught by me -"

The Avenger reached out from the sleeves of the cassock and grabbed a child next to him. The sound of skulls shattering, brains flying everywhere and eyes sliding in the air. Those nightmare-like scenes were engraved in everyone's minds.

middle.

"Pa!" Nero used too much force and broke the branches under his feet. "Zhenyu, let me save those children!"

Patchouli on the side also turned to look at Zhen Yu.

"They can't be saved." Zhen Yu smiled bitterly, "Their bodies have been parasitized. Even if they are saved, they will turn into tentacle monsters in the blink of an eye."

"Damn it. I will give him the death penalty." Nero showed his conceptual armament and made it clear what his fate would be.

"Go." Zhenyu didn't stop him. Avenger's behavior was indeed outrageous.

On the other side, Saber was also extremely angry, turning into a gust of wind and flying through the jungle, rushing to where Avenger was. The blood in her body was rolling, and the evil deeds committed by the devil made Saber furious. However, now, in her heart

In silence, put aside your own anger, sadness and pain, and focus on the overall situation. This is the responsibility that a knight must bear. It is like an extremely sharp, polished sword. It is a sword without any confusion.

's sharp sword.

"Pa!" Nero and Saber arrived almost at the same time. They looked at each other, nodded, and said nothing. They had the same purpose to let them understand each other's thoughts.

The ground and surroundings were covered with blood, broken human bodies, and a disgusting stench. The hell-like scene all around was unbearable. It was obvious that the avenger had killed many children before the two arrived.

.

"Ah ha ha ha, God is so kind, the two saints appeared at the same time!! I have been waiting for a long time." Avenger welcomed the saint in his heart with a hearty smile. He stood in the middle of the sea of ​​blood, his

The dark cassock was stained with the blood of the hostages, making his smile even more sad and terrifying.

"For such a crazy act, General Yu will kill you with his own hands!" Nero spoke like a judge.

"Let go of that child." Artoria's voice was as cold as a sword.

Avenger said in a proud tone, "Heartbroken? Can you imagine the pain those innocent and lovely children endured in the end? But Joan of Arc, this is not a real tragedy. Compared with after I lost you, for

See you again——"

Before he could finish his long speech, Nero took action and struck Avenger with a sword of primordial fire. She had never had a very good temper, especially now that she was in anger. It was strange that she would listen to Avenger's crazy words.

Avenger retreated very quickly, but there was no way he could match Nero's speed. Seeing the red magic sword in front of him, he threw out his hands from the corners of his cassock. It was the only survivor and now became Avenger's shield.

.

"Damn it!" Nero had to give up the attack.

It was a child - the only surviving hostage. He was held in Avenger's forearm, still crying softly. Avenger kept him alive in order to use him as a shield to fight Saber. Now Nero doesn't know

How to start, especially when Arturia, the King of Knights, is standing by.
