Although it was unclear exactly what had happened, Esdeath clearly needed treatment.
"May no one in this world inflict harm, and may no one suffer harm, All Flaws Must Be Healed!"
Holding up [All Flaws Must Be Healed], Lily chanted the incantation for the Noble Phantasm release.
After a burst of light, it was as if time had flowed backward.
Esdeath's body was rapidly restored to its condition before she was injured.
It was a shame that Lily's Noble Phantasm did not affect non-living objects. Esdeath sighed that the [Noble Chariot] would have to be put back together again, and joked, "I suspect Medusa did that on purpose."
Kisaragi Rin: "No need to suspect anything. Given her personality, she must have enjoyed doing that."
Esdeath didn't mind Medusa attacking a teammate; in fact, this was a tactic Esdeath had planned.
It was only an injury. With Lily present, as long as she wasn't instantly killed, recovery was immediate.
"Instead, I can use this incident afterward to demand more attention from Master."
"Hmm... I went all out like this, Medea shouldn't try to steal him from me now, right?"
Esdeath suddenly thought.
Then she frowned, suddenly regretting that Lily had healed all her injuries. If she had kept a little injury, she could have easily demanded Master stay with her tonight and thus naturally become the first among the Servants.
Kisaragi Rin naturally wouldn't know such thoughts. Seven seconds of Time Stop was too limited, and he still had many things to do. The most urgent task was taking Gilgamesh away from Shinomiya Kaguya.
Regardless of how many trump cards Shinomiya Kaguya had left, and regardless of whether King Gilgamesh might appear, as long as her Servant was taken away, Shinomiya Kaguya would have no choice but to surrender.
Without Kisaragi Rin needing to remind her, Medea skillfully pulled out [Rule Breaker].
"Rule Breaker."
As the Noble Phantasm was released, the Strange Blade in Medea's hand effortlessly shattered the contract between Shinomiya Kaguya and Gilgamesh.
Seeing Medea attempt to transfer control of Gilgamesh to himself, Kisaragi Rin raised an eyebrow and quickly said, "Let Yukinoshita Yukino become her Master."
He already had four Servants; how could he possibly support another Gilgamesh?
Even after the Time Stop ended, whether Gilgamesh would obey upon discovering she had a new Master was another question.
Medea had absolutely no objection to this.
Although the blonde, red-eyed loli was cute, Master already had enough Servants. Just the thought of this girl sharing her Master made Medea feel it was better for her to be far away.
Hmm... Medea hadn't recognized her as Gilgamesh from her childhood.
Using magic to transfer Yukinoshita Yukino, who was also affected by the Time Stop, to her side, Medea re-signed the Master and Servant contract for them.
Holding Saber with one hand and the restored Medusa with the other, Kisaragi Rin led them into the Workshop. When they emerged again, Saber and Medusa were also free from the effects of the Time Stop.
Having finished all this, most of the seven seconds of [Mahapadma] had passed.
Only Scáthach remained among the enemies!
"Is it resolved?"
Medusa stretched lazily, looking regretfully at her newly matured figure. It took her a moment to recover her senses and put on [Breaker Gorgon].
"I couldn't keep her here."
In the brief time she fought Scáthach, Saber already had many scars on her body. It was unclear what she had encountered, but even her ahoge seemed listless.
Lily glanced at Saber, then at Medusa, and after surveying the battlefield, she felt that her absence must have caused her to miss too much.
Where did the previous enemies go?
And what was the situation now?
"It's fine. I knew this one wouldn't be so easy to deal with."
Kisaragi Rin looked solemnly toward the other side.
Scáthach, who should have been fighting Saber there, had vanished. Only a Deep Gate, similarly frozen in time, stood in her place.
"As expected, she evaded it?"
Although it was expected, Kisaragi Rin still felt a headache coming on.
---
Time returned to before Gilgamesh, under the power of the [Age Ring], turned into Gilgamesh and the battle resumed.
Scáthach, who was competing in martial arts with Saber, had been paying attention to Kisaragi Rin's battlefield.
"How strange. Why do you possess such a high-level Anti-Prophecy Ability."
"It makes me curious whether I could see your future if I fully unleashed my Clairvoyance."
While she was thinking, Saber in front of her had already drawn a magnificent arc in the air with her Holy Sword.
The power of [Wind King Barrier] to hide the blade was actually useless against Scáthach. Scáthach merely withdrew her gaze, tilted her body slightly, and dodged the attack of the [Sword of Promised Victory]. At the same time, her Demonic Spear struck first despite being launched later, aiming directly at Saber's vital point.
Of course, it wasn't the heart or the brain. With the power of [Avalon] present, those areas were no longer weaknesses that could decide the outcome.
The location Scáthach aimed her Demonic Spear at was Saber's palm.
If the palm was crippled, Saber's combat power would instantly drop significantly.
[Intuition] activated. Saber intended to dodge, but found that danger was coming from all directions.
It seemed... no matter which direction she dodged, Scáthach could redirect her attack.
"Is the gap in skill really this large?"
Saber couldn't help but ask herself.
Since the start of the engagement, she had been completely suppressed by Scáthach. Saber had considered releasing her Curry Stick, but whenever that thought arose, Scáthach opposite her would preemptively raise the Demonic Spear in her hand.
She openly signaled: I already know you are going to release your Noble Phantasm. Stop the pointless resistance; we only need to exchange martial arts like this... Her disordered [Intuition] could no longer help her dodge. Saber retreated based on experience, but the next moment, the Demonic Spear pierced her palm as if it had been foreseen.
[Foresight of the Dog] had many flaws; even when Scáthach used it, she would see different futures.
But she also had [Wisdom of the Magical Realm], an Inherent Skill that allowed Scáthach to clearly distinguish the possibilities of every future and find the one that was closest to destiny.
"King Arthur, you lack a bit of confidence."
Scáthach said.
Her answer was a Noble Phantasm Beam released from the tip of Saber's Holy Sword.
Scáthach danced her Long Spear, forming an impenetrable defense that blocked all the sword light.
"Skill is not the gap between us."
"Belief is."
"Arthur, the current you no longer possesses the glory and confidence of a King."
