They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 217, but the plot didn't follow the script.
"Is it over there?"

Upon hearing the explosion, El-Melloi II turned his head sharply, a look of astonishment appearing on his face for the first time.

"Mr. Niseko, the explosion came from the beach!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed urgently to the distant flames soaring into the sky and the faintly visible magical glow.

"Let's go! Let's check the situation!"

El-Melloi II acted decisively, suppressing his myriad doubts, and rushed towards the site of the incident.

When the three humans and one beast arrived at the beach, which was bathed in moonlight and turned silvery white, the sight before them made them hold their breath.

Under the moonlight, the murky seawater was churning violently, with countless twisted, slimy tentacles breaking through the surface, like demonic claws reaching out from the depths of hell.

These sea monsters, composed of filthy magic, surrounded a man dressed in a dark robe who held a strange grimoire.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and his face was streaked with tears of madness and grief as he howled at a blonde female knight fighting a bloody battle not far away.

"Oh, my saint! My Joan of Arc! Why don't you remember me?"

Why do you look at your most loyal Jill with such cold eyes?!

Opposite him, surrounded by countless sea monsters, was a blonde girl dressed in silver-blue knight armor.

She held an invisible blade in her hand, and with each swing, a fierce gust of wind arose, instantly tearing apart the tentacles and monsters that lunged at her.

Her figure was lily and graceful, like a steel lily blooming in blood and fire, awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

However, this Saber-class female knight did not use her full strength.

Her movements appeared expansive and powerful, but in reality, every bit of force was calculated precisely, and her eyes were constantly alert to the surrounding darkness.

She could sense that, besides the mad Caster in front of her, at least several other powerful gazes were lurking in the shadows, watching the battle unfold.

She must conserve enough magic to deal with any possible sneak attacks, and more importantly, to protect the silver-haired woman in a white dress behind her—Irisviel von Einzbern.

“Mash, look at that person…”

"She really looks like Joan of Arc, whom we met in Orleans."

Fujimaru Ritsuka hid behind a huge rock, lowering her voice as she secretly observed the blond knight.

"Both his face and that dignified and sacred aura are exactly the same... except that his chest seems a little flatter."

"Senior, now is not the time to talk about this!"

Mashu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she tugged at Fujimaru Ritsuka's sleeve seriously.

"What is the opinion of the Second Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately stopped her inappropriate comment and turned her gaze to the man beside her who was deep in thought.

El-Melloi II's gaze swept rapidly across the battlefield, from the frenzied Caster to the fighting Saber, and then to the tense Irisviel behind her.

"Let Caster leave the stage here, Master!"

El-Melloi adjusted his glasses and offered his advice.
"The situation is unclear now, and there are too many sudden variables."

We might as well do Saber's group a favor first, paving the way for future negotiations.

Moreover, I possess crucial intelligence that would force Eindzbern to cooperate with us.

"Understood! Let's go, you two!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly understood his intention, her eyes hardened, and she decisively gave the order.

The moment the command was given, Mash Kyrielight took a step forward.

A soft magical glow emanated from her body, instantly forming a purple suit of armor and a cross-shaped shield so enormous it seemed disproportionate to her petite frame.

"Ha!" she shouted, bending her knees slightly, and leaped into the air like a cannonball, then crashed into the sea demon horde with tremendous force!
With a loud bang, the beach and seawater were sent flying into the air by the enormous impact!

The enormous shield, under her wielding, transformed into the most ruthless heavy weapon, smashing those slimy, disgusting monsters into a pile of minced meat with each strike.

"Um?!"

The sudden arrival of reinforcements caused Saber's expression to change drastically.

Her gaze did not linger on Mash's agile figure, but was fixed on the huge shield, her emerald eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

The material, shape, and patterns engraved on that shield... isn't that her round table?
The only one who can use this as a weapon is the paladin Galahad, but isn't he a man?!
However, before Saber's shock could subside, the situation on the field changed dramatically once again.

The air not far from her side began to distort without warning, and a cloud of dark, ominous magical mist spewed out from it.

The air temperature suddenly dropped, and a chill and pressure that seemed to freeze the soul swept through the entire venue.

Immediately afterwards, a knight completely clad in menacing black plate armor appeared from the distorted space, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

From the gaps in his helmet, a scarlet light, filled with madness and resentment, shot out.

A roar, inhuman and seemingly squeezed from the depths of hell, mixed with the sound of steel grinding, tore through the night sky.

"Arthur!!!"

The Black Knight's objective was crystal clear. Ignoring everything around him, he transformed into a black afterimage, his weapon brimming with boundless killing intent as he slashed straight at Saber!

At the very moment the black knight appeared, Mash, who was wielding her shield amidst the horde of sea monsters, felt an overwhelming surge of rage!

This rage came so suddenly, so fiercely, as if it were a destiny etched into the deepest part of her spirit core, causing her to forget her thoughts, her tactics, and even her Master's orders for a moment.

Driven by instinct, she whirled around, swung her massive shield, and charged headlong into the black figure!
……

Meanwhile, on the distant cliffs...

"Um?!"

Kenneth looked on in astonishment at the battlefield below, which had instantly descended into chaos.

His expression became quite interesting, his gaze fixed on the long-haired man standing in the back row who seemed to be using magic, one of the three troublemakers.

That man... his slightly decadent demeanor and his unkempt long hair bore a striking resemblance to Waver Velvet, who would inherit his monarchy and the El-Melloi classroom ten years later.

More importantly, this guy, who is suspected to be Weber Velvet, is actually using Qimen Dunjia magic, and his skill level is in no way inferior to that of Zhuge Qing, who is blessed by Zhuge Liang's spirit in the world of one person.

Is this just a coincidence? And who is that girl wielding the giant shield?
"This is truly an amazing technology..."

Standing beside him, Aozaki Touko's gaze was drawn to Irisviel at the edge of the battlefield, as if by a magnet, and to Mash, the shield-wielding girl who had just rushed into the fray.

She licked her lips excitedly; with her level of expertise, she could naturally tell that both were man-made.

Moreover, the technical approach they demonstrate is completely different from the "humanoid" creation they are studying, yet it is equally unparalleled.

I really want to... take them apart and see what's inside...

"..."

Kenneth forced himself to calm down, his mind racing as he reassessed the situation.

His greatest intelligence advantage was knowing that the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City had been corrupted.

His original plan was to wait here for the Einzbern family to appear, and then use this information as a bargaining chip to completely pull Saber's camp into his own camp, thus securing victory.

Bringing Aozaki Touko, the Grand Puppeteer, into the camp was to increase persuasiveness.

But now... this group of troublemakers who suddenly appeared has completely disrupted his plans.

The situation has become far more complicated than expected...
