Yukinoshita Yukino, based on her understanding, used Matou Shinji's appearance to camouflage Kisaragi Rin's persona.
Kisaragi Rin, also based on his understanding, used Fujimura Taiga's appearance to camouflage Yukinoshita Yukino, and then complained to Yukinoshita Yukino, who was camouflaging him as Kisaragi Rin.
Emiya Shirou did not realize that his good friend, Matou Shinji, had been replaced once again behind his back.
When Kiritsugu Emiya arrived by Matou Shinji's side with A+ rank disguise, he immediately unleashed the effects of two Noble Phantasms, [Flowers Bloom and Must Be Plucked] and [mystery Transference], at the moment of attack.
Kiritsugu Emiya, in accelerated time, looked at the defenseless Matou Shinji and delivered a fatal blow!
Under Avalon's blessing, Yukinoshita Yukino would not bleed, nor did she have any fatal weaknesses.
Enduring the intense pain of her brain being pierced, Yukinoshita Yukino complained, "That's enough!"
She couldn't die, but it truly hurt!
It was like participating in a physical test with ingrown toenails, a truly rare death experience.
"Avalon?"
When the Noble Phantasm's [Severing] effect failed to activate, Kiritsugu Emiya already sensed that something was wrong. He immediately wanted to accelerate his time and re-enter the disguise state, but by then, he had already fallen into a trap.
Esdeath and Saber had unknowingly intercepted all possible retreat routes, and Medusa, who had been waiting for a long time, opened her Mystic Eyes of Petrification!
The Assassin, with his fragile body, only had his blood coagulate for an instant before Kisaragi Rin had already placed his hand on Kiritsugu Emiya's body.
"Given such an opportunity, why expose the most vulnerable Master to me instead?"
Kiritsugu Emiya wondered curiously.
Due to a lack of information, he only assumed that the entity replacing Matou Shinji possessed Avalon, which led to the assassination's failure, and he was unaware of the identity transformation.
Looking at Fujimura Taiga, who was touching him, Kiritsugu Emiya was filled with questions.
According to common sense, an Heroic Spirit should be launching the strongest attack against him right now, but instead, the Master, who should be furthest from an Assassin, was approaching him?
Instinct told Kiritsugu Emiya that there must be something wrong, but rationality told him that he should seize this opportunity to kill Fujimura Taiga, who dared to approach.
"Since the decision to kill Matou Shinji failed, then I'll kill Fujimura Taiga to cut losses... Anyway, under the Holy Grail's effect, the other side doesn't have the ability to completely kill me..."
As this thought echoed in his mind, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately turned his blade.
Meanwhile, Kisaragi Rin smiled, because the time had come.
He said, "I've got you."
The next moment, Kiritsugu Emiya vanished within the Reality Marble.
That's right, Kisaragi Rin directly transferred him to the Workshop!
Not enough combat power?
There's plenty in the Workshop!
---
As soon as Kiritsugu Emiya was transferred to the Workshop, Spider Mother, who had been waiting for a long time, once again shifted space, causing Kiritsugu Emiya to appear in the Infinity Castle!
Countless spider silks formed a prison, and Kiritsugu Emiya fell into the trap like a moth.
"Reality Marble? No!"
Kiritsugu Emiya sensed the space he was in, then looked at the spider silks piercing him and draining his power. After a moment of Stunned, he fell silent.
The power of curses, dreams, and spatial cutting relentlessly ravaged Assassin's fragile strength.
If this space hadn't allowed the black holy grail's power to pass through, enabling Kiritsugu Emiya to constantly regenerate, he would have been killed the moment he stepped foot inside.
"Where is the enemy?"
Kiritsugu Emiya possessed a B-rank innate Skill - Magecraft. Without much ado, he immediately activated Magecraft to locate the enemy who was constantly attacking him.
Before he could find Spider Mother, he noticed a figure appearing nearby.
Busujima Saeko was walking forward, carrying a beautiful katana made of flesh and blood.
As the blade sliced across the ground, beautiful purple petals began to bloom in the sky; that was the combined slash of [Moon Breathing] and [Invisible Sword Energy].
Like cherry blossoms at five centimeters per second, the breathtaking slashes began to drift irregularly towards Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Saeko, Master said not to kill him directly."
Spider Mother's voice echoed in Busujima Saeko's ear, causing her to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and say gently, "I know."

"May no one in this world harm anyone, and may no one be harmed. All Flaws Must Be Healed!"
As Lily left the Demonic Hell Sanctuary and quickly unleashed her Noble Phantasm, Yukinoshita Yukino's brain, chilled by the cold wind, returned to normal.
Through the information disparity, a simple bait-and-counterattack plan naturally succeeded.
From confirming the plan via internal communication to waiting for Assassin to appear and complete everything, sending Kiritsugu Emiya into the Workshop only took a moment.
"Speaking of which, aren't we using the same trick as Sugo Nobuyuki and Soichiro Kuzuki?"
Yukinoshita Yukino said, looking ahead. She suddenly remembered that the previous two battles seemed to have been similar.
Could it be true, as Kisaragi Rin said, that all players came from the same training class?
Kisaragi Rin also looked ahead, and after Yukinoshita Yukino mentioned it, he indeed felt it was quite strange.
"Hmm... I can only say it's truly effective."
In Werewolf, isn't camouflaging one's identity a matter of course, a basic quality?
"Here."
Yukinoshita Yukino handed the Demonic Hell Sanctuary to Kisaragi Rin. She hadn't met the usage requirements, which was one of the reasons Medea and "Kisaragi" had summoned it together at the time.
According to the plan, the Assassin was to be dealt with first, so the remaining steps involved a direct confrontation.
"Master, can we finally fight?"
Esdeath raised her rapier and stood at the very front, with Saber and Medusa beside her.
Lily knew she would be leaving soon, so she quickly pulled Medea aside and whispered something to her.
Meanwhile, Emiya Shirou fell into deep thought as the battle situation suddenly changed.
He was merely a vessel. The Emiya Shirou from the normal timeline had no combat experience even when he summoned Saber, and the Emiya Shirou of this worldline was no different, despite such significant changes.
After all, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirou was still a young boy.
Well... the wheelchair he was sitting in somewhat proved this point.
So, when Archer appeared, Kisaragi Rin had already focused his attention on him.
This Emiya Shirou, who would become an Heroic Spirit in the future, was the biggest variable among them. It was likely that he was always the one making decisions regarding battles and the overall situation.
In fact, it was true. Although Emiya Shirou ostensibly controlled seven Heroic Spirits through the black holy grail, Archer always made the major decisions.
Including sending Iskandar to attack Ito Makoto.
Do you remember where Ito Makoto first appeared when he entered the game?
At that time, he was leaning against a Hospital wall, read the information given by Paradise, and then took out his student ID to learn his new identity as "Ryudou Issei."
Because he didn't know what his original self was going to do, Ito Makoto threw the bouquet of flowers in his hand into a trash can and then left directly, unaware that a window in a certain Hospital room was open, and a red-haired young man was watching his friend.
