Late at night, the refreshing cool breeze gently blew through the woods on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

As the Master of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald was standing on a high slope looking towards the castle fortress in the distance.

His servant Diarmuid followed beside him, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

It is not difficult to see from the performance of this pair that they are ready to launch a surprise attack.

Because according to the information given by Tokiomi Tosaka, the masters of Caster and Berserker lived in this fortress that appeared out of thin air.

As long as Diarmuid can hold back Berserker, Kenneth will be confident that he can join forces with Assassin to quickly kill the two Masters and directly eliminate the most powerful enemy in this Holy Grail War.

After all, no matter how powerful the servant is, he still needs the master to provide magic power.

Otherwise, it won't take long for the soul to be unable to maintain its existence and be absorbed by the Holy Grail.

As an extremely proud and arrogant person, Kenneth has always believed that he is the strongest magician in this Holy Grail War.

Tokiomi Tosaka, the magician-killer Emiya Kiritsugu, and Irisviel all had to bow their heads before his shocking magical achievements.

As for the half-baked guys like Weber Velvet and Matou Kariya, they don't even care. They don't even think that such garbage is qualified to be an opponent.

"My dear, are you sure you want to take Lancer on an adventure? You must know that we still know nothing about Berserker's identity and abilities."

There was a hint of nervousness and anxiety in Sola's tone.

Of course, she was not afraid that something bad would happen to her fiancé, but that she was afraid that her sweetheart would be killed when the other party was about to die.

Otherwise, she would be too lazy to care about Kenneth's life and death, and would even wish that this guy would die early so that Diarmuid could make room.

Poor cuckold Kenneth didn't realize this yet, thinking that his fiancée was concerned about his safety, and immediately responded with a proud look: "Don't worry, the enemies that need to be dealt with this time do not include Caster. As long as

Lancer can hold off Berserker, and with my strength it won't be a problem to deal with just two Masters."

"Master, I swear on my honor that I will never let you down this time."

Diarmuid quickly knelt down on one knee and vowed to give his guarantee.

"Humph! I hope so."

Kenneth glanced at his servant with a look of disgust, and then walked straight towards the entrance of the castle fortress.

As a traditional aristocratic family head in the magic world, he would not engage in extra-ordinary tricks like Emiya Kiritsugu, who was extremely despised by the circle, but would engage in an upright duel.

Only in this way can we avoid bringing shame to the glorious Archibald family.

If Tokiomi Tosaka is the most traditional and old-fashioned example of a magician, then Kenneth has added another genius attribute on top of it.

If two people were to have a one-on-one duel, the probability of the latter defeating the former would definitely exceed 80%.

Kenneth even modified the summoning system when he participated in the Holy Grail War for the first time, turning the single-line connection between the Servant and the Master into a multi-line one.

In this way, he can let his fiancée Sora be responsible for supporting Diarmuid, while he maintains sufficient magic power to deal with other masters.

Not to mention the unique magic gift that he invented before he was less than twenty-five years old - [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid].

This thing integrates attack, defense and automatic enemy detection, with almost no obvious flaws.

Based on the above, Kenneth is almost a perfect magician except for his lack of combat experience, and he does have the capital to be arrogant.

When he arrived at the main entrance of the castle fortress, he immediately took out the magic gift in the test tube and chanted in a low voice: "Boil! My blood -"

moment!

The liquid mercury, which emitted a silvery light under the moonlight, dropped to the ground, and then expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely turned into a huge oval sphere.

Before the fortress' magic defense had time to react, the liquid mercury quickly stretched out lines sharper than steel wires and suddenly swung towards the closed door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the door and the surrounding walls instantly shattered and collapsed, revealing a tunnel leading inside.

There is no doubt that this is the power of [Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid].

With the blessing of magic power and magic engraving, the originally harmless mercury is even sharp enough to easily cut through the hardest substances in the world, turning a skyscraper into ruins in just a few seconds.

"Kenneth El-Melloi, the ninth generation head of the Archibald family, came to visit. The magicians of the Matou family and Master Caster will sacrifice their lives and glory for the Holy Grail that you and I are pursuing together.

Let’s have a fair fight as a bet.”

Accompanied by the voice announcing his door, the arrogant genius slowly walked into the entrance hall behind the main entrance of the castle.

Diarmuid followed closely and carefully patrolled the surroundings looking for possible dangers.

But just a second later, a huge black shadow instantly fell from the roof, holding a black sword in his hand.

clang!

Sparks flew out as the spear and sword collided.

Diarmuid firmly caught the blow, and swung his short spear with his backhand at an extremely fast speed in an attempt to force the opponent back.

You don't need to ask to know that the dark shadow falling from the sky is none other than the Berserker Lancelot who has been stationed here.

Seeing a follower attacking the fortress, Kariya immediately gave him an order to meet the enemy.

In just a few seconds, the two highly skilled servants were entangled in each other and fought inextricably.

Especially Diarmuid, who suddenly discovered that this unknown opponent was no worse than Artoria, whom he had fought with before, and an undisguised surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because fighting against a strong man with superb martial arts skills is what makes him feel happiest.

"Roar!!!!!!"

Because of his madness, Lancelot had no sense at all. He simply vented his violence and desire for destruction, roaring like a beast, breaking several walls and rushing deeper into the courtyard.

Since the Master's body has recovered, he is no longer in a state of insufficient supply of magic power as before, but instead pulled out the Noble Phantasm [Indestructible Lake Light].

Coupled with the violent attacks after becoming mad, Diarmuid was suppressed for a moment, unable to exert the power of the two guns at all, and was forced to constantly parry and dodge.

As a result, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he became farther and farther away from Kenny. In the end, he could only hear the sounds of fighting and destruction, but couldn't see where the person was.

If it were any other Master, he would definitely be furious if he found out that his servant actually left him.

But Kenneth thought this was just right.

Without the interference of Berserker, he felt that it would be an easy task for him to win over two rookies with low magic skills.

With this strong confidence, Kenneth took the [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid] and began to advance into the fortress.

The moment he stepped into the living room, the whole room suddenly and strangely rotated 180 degrees. The ground instantly turned into the ceiling, and the ceiling turned into the ground.

What's even more interesting is that the inversion of the room does not cause a change in gravity.

He was still standing upside down on the floor, showing no signs of falling.

Just when Kenneth looked interested and wanted to figure out what kind of magic caused such a result, a beautiful silver-haired girl suddenly appeared out of thin air, standing on the opposite ceiling and bowed elegantly.

"Welcome to my castle, the Lord of the Clock Tower and the head of the Archibald family - His Excellency Kenneth El-Melloi."

Anastasia calmly expressed her respect to the other party with royal etiquette.

For such a polite opponent, she will maintain the minimum demeanor even as an enemy.

"Haha, so you are planning to accept my invitation to a duel?"

A faint smile appeared on Kenneth's face.

Compared to a guy like Emiya Kiritsugu who has no sense of honor and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he obviously prefers the current elegant magic showdown full of aristocratic atmosphere.

Anastasia pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "Yes. Right here, you and I are one-on-one, and only the living can leave. How about that, it's fair, isn't it?"

"Oh? Aren't you going to ask for help? Isn't that guy named Matou Kariya also here?" Kenneth asked with interest.

"No, no need, I am enough on my own."

Anastasia glanced at the [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid], her eyes flashing like a little devil.

After all, she is a servant, a heroic spirit, and has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary magicians.

In fact, except for situations like the Fifth Holy Grail War where gods fight, most of the time the Masters in the Holy Grail War do not have the strength to confront their Servants head-on.

"Hmph! I hope your mouth can keep being so hard."

Kenneth sneered and immediately began to control his magic costume to attack.

In a blink of an eye!

Countless threads made of mercury rushed towards Anastasia's location.

Any place it passes will be immediately cut into two sections, even hard monolithic granite and reinforced concrete structures are no exception.

Just when he was fully expecting to see his opponent cut into pieces, the doll with an unclear face next to Anastasia suddenly raised its head, revealing a creepy magic eye.

The next second...

Kenneth suddenly fell flat without any warning, and his whole face hit the corner of the table with a loud bang. His severely injured nose immediately flowed out of a large amount of blood, a mixture of tears and snot.

[Moon Spirit Essence Liquid] also stopped at a distance of less than two or three millimeters from Anastasia because it lost the control of its master.

The sour feeling and indescribable discomfort took Kenneth several seconds to come to his senses, and he struggled to stand up while holding on to the wall with one hand.

It was easy to see from the confused eyes that he didn't understand what had just happened.

Just when he was about to control [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid] to continue the attack, his lower body suddenly stepped on his left foot and his right foot and fell hard.
