Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
The roaring sound of the Blast suddenly erupted within the silent Einzbern Castle. Under the intense turbulence of magical energy, it transformed into a bursting flow of light, shadow, and flames, with fire soaring into the sky.
For the Hassan clones who prided themselves as "Rulers of the Night," tonight's infiltration was not an assassination at all, but a one-sided slaughter!
As Saber took the initiative to charge, the originally dark castle corridors were illuminated by silvery-blue holy magical energy as if it were broad daylight.
The air was filled with the crisp sound of shattering bones and the twisted wails of those masked strangers before their deaths.
Invisible sword light wove a web of death deep within the midnight forest.
Every horizontal slash was accompanied by a deafening explosion. The terrifying wind pressure not only tore the air apart but even uprooted the century-old trees behind with the overflowing sword pressure!
The earth was wailing!
In less than half a minute, all the infiltrating Assassin clones were cleared out, turning into dissipating spiritual particles and vanishing completely, without leaving even a speck of dust behind.
Inside the castle hall, the last Hassan clone was lifted by Saber's slender right hand like a little chick.
The young king's gaze was like fire, and deep within her emerald pupils, there was even a faint flicker of platinum lightning.
"It's over."
As Saber's cold voice fell, the invisible "Invisible Air" instantly compressed and exploded, completely crushing the Servant clone in her palm into nothingness.
She stood quietly in the middle of the ruins, her breathing exceptionally calm.
If the previous battles required precise calculation of every bit of magical energy, then the current Saber was like a tyrant holding all the wealth in the world.
(Gilgamesh:???)
After the venting of a battle, the magical energy in her body was still overly abundant.
Besides the refreshment after the release, her body had not accumulated even a hint of fatigue.
Saber's originally pale, pretty face now showed a flush brought by boiling blood. Glistening beads of sweat slid down her exquisite porcelain-like jaw, soaking into her sweat-dampened collar.
That sense of majesty originating from powerful strength made the usually quiet and cute King of Knights display an unprecedented and unusual beauty.
She gently stroked the hilt of her sword, feeling the domineering magical energy still surging within her. Her cheeks inexplicably heated up, and a trace of complex blush flashed across her fair skin.
What that man gave... was truly too much... Tohsaka Residence, basement.
"Kirei, what is the situation?"
The elegant Tohsaka Tokiomi swirled the red wine glass in his hand, looking at his equally elegant disciple, Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine, like a cold black stone statue, said expressionlessly, "Teacher, the Hassan clones sent out as pawns... have all been killed. The total time taken was less than a minute."
"Oh?" Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned slightly and put down his wine glass. "It seems that man named Kiritsugu Emiya from Einzbern has prepared more thoroughly than I imagined."
"Even after the battle between Saber and Berserker, she still retains this level of combat power?"
"No." Kirei Kotomine's voice remained flat, yet it held a hint of strangeness. "According to the visual intelligence sent back before death... Saber's parameters have reached an exceptional level. Especially the magical energy supply; it's as if she is connected to the greater grail, endless and inexhaustible."
"Furthermore, Kiritsugu Emiya was not seen at the scene."
"Magical energy is still abundant? This is troublesome..."
Tokiomi put down his wine glass, his eyelids twitching slightly. A glaring crack suddenly appeared in his elegant demeanor, which he was gradually failing to maintain.
"Could it be... that Einzbern's Homunculus technology has advanced to such a level?"
"Or is it that the Magus Killer has such boldness to use command spells to replenish his Servant's magical energy before the war officially begins?"
A haze known as the uncontrollable quietly crept into the heart of the Tohsaka Family head.
"Teacher, how should we respond to this situation?" Kirei Kotomine asked.
Tokiomi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "It seems the Einzbern family came prepared this time... Hmph, it's nothing but brute force."
"A true king wins through wisdom."
Although he said this, he was already calculating in his heart whether to let the King of Heroes take action early to clean up this bug.
Just then.
An undisguised wave of magical energy, full of provocative intent, soared into the sky from the direction of the warehouse district at Fuyuki City's harbor, like a lighthouse lit in the dark night.
That magical energy was sharp as a spear and wildly arrogant, as if shouting to all the Heroic Spirits in the city—
Everyone here is trash!
If you're a brother, come and cut me!
Meanwhile, on the roof of the Tohsaka Family residence.
Gilgamesh, clad in golden armor, sat on the roof ridge, drinking alone under the solitary moon.
Suddenly, Gilgamesh put down the golden cup in his hand, his crimson snake-like pupils looking toward the direction of the Fuyuki City harbor.
There, a wave of magical energy full of provocative intent was erupting unscrupulously, like a raised middle finger, issuing an invitation to all the Heroic Spirits in Fuyuki City.
"Hmph... overconfident mongrel, how dare you make such a racket in this king's backyard."
Gilgamesh let out a disdainful cold snort, but a flash of anger at being offended crossed his eyes.
He stood up, golden radiance condensing behind him.
"Since you want to die so badly, this king shall grant you death."
...Einzbern Castle, brightly lit.
Saber, who was strictly observing her duty as a guardian knight, narrowed her eyes and suddenly looked up out the window.
"This aura... is it a challenge?"
As the King of Knights, such a fair and square invitation to battle was practically itching her.
Especially now that she was at full mana and in peak condition, she was worried about having no place to vent her excess energy.
"It seems tonight will be quite lively."
Hansen's voice came from the stairs. Saber turned around and saw the acting master and that fellow who made her teeth itch walking down the stairs in a lazy posture.
At this time, Hansen had changed into a well-tailored light pink casual suit.
His originally aggressive and domineering aura was neutralized a bit, instead gaining a sense of nobility like a top-tier financial tycoon's young master.
Beside him, Irisviel was submissively holding his arm.
This top-tier Homunculus from the Einzbern family was currently breathtakingly beautiful.
She had changed out of her light white loungewear dress and was wearing a form-fitting lavender silk skirt, which perfectly outlined her golden-ratio curves.
Her snow-white, delicate shoulders were exposed to the air, reflecting light like mutton-fat jade.
A sparkling ruby hung around her slender swan neck, making her exotic beauty of white hair and red eyes appear even more holy and alluring.
That feminine gentleness within her noble elegance combined with Hansen's dangerous and sinister temperament, creating an inexplicably harmonious feeling.
