Shinji's failure did not affect the overall situation of the battle, and both sides were still evenly matched.
In the magic battle, Caster is not afraid of Archer. Even if the opponent somehow possesses powerful spell-casting ability, it only shortens the distance between them. There is a "
The gap between quality and quality is something that no amount of treasure can cross.
So it is impossible for her to lose, and there is no reason why she should lose.
The battle between Rider and Assassin is another story. In terms of martial arts, Assassin has an overwhelming advantage. Rider is as clumsy as a layman in front of him. But in terms of strength, Rider has an absolute advantage. Assassin's attributes seem to be quite good.
He was so weak that he didn't even dare to have any head-on confrontation with her. The simple long sword always met the long nail with the iron chain at an angle, neutralizing most of the power - even so, he was often forced to retreat.
, looking somewhat embarrassed.
In fact, Assassin has taken the opportunity to chop one or two swords on Rider more than once, causing a lot of injuries. However, the magic power of Rider's Master Kiri Sakura is too great, and those wounds are often healed by her in half a second.
After several times, the fearless Rider's fighting methods became even more wild, causing Assassin to suffer losses again and again, and even encountered life-threatening danger more than once.
But Assassin didn't show any movement - or in other words, even if he was moved, others wouldn't be able to tell because he was wearing a mask.
Wearing a bronze mask, he remained silent and calmly waved his ancient long sword, neutralizing Rider's attacks one by one and occasionally counterattacking several times. Each counterattack could cause significant injuries to Rider's body.
The battle here seems to be a stalemate that is beneficial to Matou.
As for the battle in the sky, because the two sides were flying too high and too fast, no one could see clearly. They could only feel the two exciting magic forces entangled and chasing each other in the sky, like two supersonic fighter jets.
Constantly fighting for a favorable position, trying to shoot down the opponent.
Unfortunately, Berserker and Saber know each other so well that they can know what tactics will come next just by looking at each other's little moves - in their future, they will practice against each other countless times.
They can't even count them. The result of thousands of fights is that if they want to decide the winner, they have to fight until one of them is exhausted and in a state of reduced energy.
To use the professional terminology of heroic spirits, it means that the winner must be determined when one of the parties has insufficient magic power.
In terms of magic power, Saber's master Illya naturally has the advantage, but even though Shirou Emiya's magic power is not that sufficient, it is impossible for him to be unable to keep up with Berserker's consumption for a while, so this group wants to divide
Winning or losing is also not a matter of time.
The entire battle seemed to have reached a complete stalemate.
Therefore, the two sides who were fighting fiercely did not realize that in the secret cave at the back of Ryudong Temple, deep in the spiritual spring leading to the base of the Great Holy Grail, a figure opened his eyes.
Is it the power of the Servants... that is colliding... is it the Holy Grail War again? Is it the moment when the black Holy Grail is about to appear and pollute the world?
The figure slowly sat up.
Preventing the coming of the Holy Grail, destroying all Masters, Servants and the Lesser Holy Grail, it doesn't matter even if it causes serious damage to the city and civilians, this is a necessary evil to protect the world!
The figure who could not be seen clearly in the blurred light pulled out a sword that was more dazzling than the magic light from the rock beside him.

Matou Sakura was very nervous.
She has been under the wing of her brother since childhood and has almost no experience fighting with others. The only battle she fought was the last time she went out privately and almost died.
That battle did not increase her confidence, but made her doubt her ability.
(Am I really strong enough? Can I really help my brother and Shirou?)
The girl recalled her short life.
When I was a child, I was sent to the Matou family by my father. The reason seems to be that "the Tosaka family can only have one heir, and the Matou family needs an heir" - according to common sense, the one sent out is naturally the weaker of the two children, that is,
Said, compared with her sister, she is undoubtedly the worse one and the one who is eliminated.
After arriving at Matou's house... that nightmarish life made her shudder every time she thought about it. If her brother hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, and if uncle Kariya hadn't rushed back, she would have been completely trapped in the hellish insect nest.
It collapsed and turned into a heartless doll, right?
She was saved at the cost of her brother and uncle Kariya falling into hell for her.
Zangyan, who was too old to understand mercy, did not completely let her go. Every time she "trained" Shinji and Kariya, she was asked to watch from the side, and he also used magic to prevent her from closing her eyes or fainting.
In the past, she had to clearly witness the only two people in the world who loved her struggling in hell.
In order not to make her sad, they never wailed and said nothing no matter how painful it was. Even after the "training" was over and they regained their strength, the first thing they did was to come over to comfort her and tell her "It's okay at all."
It doesn’t hurt” or “It’s just like being bitten by a mosquito”.
Are there any mosquitoes in the world that can bite people and cause blood to bleed from their eyes?
She cried a lot, but they laughed happily.
Uncle Kariya said: "I'm very happy to be able to do something for Sakura!"
The elder brother said: "As an elder brother, it is natural to stand in front of my sister. There is nothing to discuss."
She was very happy to be loved by them. Even if she was abandoned by her parents, even if she was eliminated by the Tohsaka family and thrown into hell, she still felt very warm.
But that kind of warmth didn't last long...
She remembered that that night, Zouken woke her up and took her to a secret room that could peek into the living room, where she saw Uncle Kariya saying goodbye to her brother.
"Shenji, Sakura will be left to you. You must protect her!" The uncle touched his brother's head and smiled kindly on his face covered with insect marks and wrinkles.
"Hey! Don't say anything like your last words! You are going to win, not to die!" My brother threw away his uncle's hand unhappily and yelled angrily, "If you want to protect her, you have to do it yourself.
That's right! If a brother cares too much about his sister, he will be regarded as a sister-control pervert!"
The uncle smiled, but the smile on his face was suddenly replaced by a look of pain. He staggered and almost fell down. He relied on his brother's support to stand firm.
"Hey! Uncle, can you do it? It's too difficult to fight with a body like this!"
"Shenji, you are a man, so let's discuss the problem from a man's perspective." The uncle forced a smile, "If you are a man, what should you do at this time?"
"...Fight those bastards! Get the Holy Grail back!"
"That's it!" The uncle raised his trembling right hand, clenched it weakly into a fist, and lightly collided with his brother's small fist, "So, I went to fight."
This was the last time she saw her uncle.
Uncle failed.
He and his heroic spirit were defeated by the man who threw her into hell and that man's heroic spirit. They were completely defeated by the incredible power, and not even a relatively complete body was left.
When Zang Yan told the brother and sister the news with malice, she saw blood flowing from her brother's clenched fist.
From then on, for many years, my brother never really smiled again.
He smiled excitedly, giggled, and sneered cruelly, but there was never any warmth in his smile.
(Am I my brother’s burden, right? If it weren’t for me, my brother would never have to come back when he ran away from home...)
(Am I a burden to my brother? If it weren’t for me, why would he participate in the Holy Grail War? He has obviously cursed this Holy Grail War countless times...)
(I am useless at all. I was eliminated by the Tohsaka family. I killed my uncle and made my brother use his own life as a weapon to fight...)
(The same goes for the current battle. Although I have powerful magic power, it doesn’t help at all. Even Rider is dragged down by me...)
The girl fell into self-pity and was depressed.
However, this is on the battlefield, and there is no room for distraction on the battlefield!
——————
(The Rider’s Master is distracted!)
As a well-known ancient assassin, Assassin is good at looking for any small opportunity in battle. He discovered this flaw almost at the same time when Sakura was distracted, and a cold smile appeared on the face under the mask.
(Master, use the command spell to strengthen me! I found an opportunity!)
(no problem!)
As the red light burst out from the back of the old man's hand hiding in the dark, powerful magic power appeared on Assassin, who was originally weak due to the lack of magic power in the fierce battle. This magic power was sudden but unexpectedly strong. In an instant, he transformed into
Make a clear visible light!
As the light bloomed, Assassin turned sideways, bypassing Rider with a dangerous move that almost completely touched the spike in Rider's hand, and rushed straight towards Sakura who was distracted.
Because the girl was distracted, she had no time to react. When she came to her senses, the long sword with cold light was less than one meter away from her!
She could even feel the cold light rising from the sword!
(Am I going to die? Am I going to die like my uncle or sister?)
Facing death, she surprisingly had no fear, and instead felt a sense of relief and calmness in her heart.
Yes, the death of the weak Matou Sakura in the cruel Holy Grail War is reasonable and not surprising at all...
Both Shenji and Shirou noticed this scene. They roared and rushed over, trying to stop Assassin, but even if "speed" was not his specialty, Assassin was a heroic spirit after all and was still in an enhanced state. Humans couldn't stop him if they wanted to stop him.
It's possible!
...Only heroic spirits can do this!
The moment the sword light was about to fall on Sakura, Rider turned into a purple light, roared back and hit Assassin hard, knocking him away far away.
Her power was so great that Assassin flew out like a football that was kicked hard, and hit the tree in the distance heavily, directly breaking the thick ancient tree that was hundreds of years old, but still retaining its strength.
, fell into the woods.
"Rider!" Sakura, who narrowly escaped death, laughed happily, "Thank you!"
But her smile only lasted less than ten seconds.
Rider, who had knocked Assassin away, moved slowly for some reason. She slowly turned her head and looked at Sakura through her blindfold.
"Sakura...I'm sorry..."
"ah?"
"I can only... help you... so far..."
Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, and she noticed the sword on Rider's side.
A simple-looking long sword that looked very ordinary, almost even the hilt was deeply embedded in her body. If Rider hadn't been particularly tall, it might have penetrated her body, and the sword tip could be seen from the other side.
Come on...
"No!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs and stretched out her hand towards Rider.
All she touched was a ball of dissipated light.
