But the more this happened, the more determined he became to stick to his beliefs.
"It will probably take another day. You're really exhausted. Let's wait patiently a little longer. You've already waited for sixty years, so I'm sure a few more days won't make a difference."
After letting out a long sigh, the Empress stepped down from her throne and walked to the other side of the room.
The garden there is incomparable to the shabby garden behind the church. It boasts a variety of rare and precious flowers and plants, as well as unique water-drawing structures. Just spending a short time there seems to bring one immense joy.
"Although it's not bad, I always wish it could be faster. But since you said it would take another day, there's really nothing I can do about it."
The garden is located on an exposed rooftop in the middle of the fortress, where you can see the bright but not harsh early spring sun, which feels warm and comfortable on your skin.
"Assassin, do you think I can succeed?"
After a long silence, it was Amakusa Shiro who broke the silence first.
“This is none of my business, nor is it something I should be concerned with.” Semiramis chuckled and then picked a bunch of flowers from the courtyard.
The flowers, however, quickly turned black, decayed, and finally turned to dust in her hands.
"Really? I didn't expect even you wouldn't think highly of me..."
The young priest maintained his smile, seemingly unperturbed by the Poison Queen's attitude.
"A horse! Give me a horse! Then I can have the whole kingdom!"
Just as Semiramis was about to say something more, a shrill voice rang out from the other side of the garden, belonging to Caster, who was named Shakespeare!
What are you doing here?
For a moment, both of them were stunned.

Chapter 288: Unparalleled Swordsmanship - The Mighty Souji (Please Subscribe!)
"It's really frustrating. It's supposed to be a rare day off, but we still have to face a battle."
In a remote suburb of Tulifas, Shizi Jieli said with a hint of helplessness while smoking a cigarette, "Although Sevent itself will also bear some of the magic power consumption, the majority of the consumption is still borne by Master."
"Hehe, since you won't buy it for me, I can find a way to get one myself, right? Anyway, Assassin has already agreed."
At this moment, Xiao Mo's attire had changed from the previous sexy crop top to heavy armor, and she held her silver and red knight's greatsword high in the air.
"That being said, but is there really no problem with Assassin? Although your swordsmanship is excellent, you are still an Assassin after all, and the inherent weaknesses of the class still exist."
Shiki-kai Kairi completely ignored the rebellious knight in front of him and shouted to Miss Souji, who was dozens of meters away.
"Don't worry, Saber's Master, you don't need to worry about Saber's safety. I'll show mercy in crucial moments!"
Okita Souji seemed to have misunderstood the old man's meaning and responded cheerfully.
"Master, who do you think will win this battle?" Karna asked with interest, looking at the two girls who came from completely different countries but were both swordsmen.
At this moment, Shen Qiu and Little Sun were in the center of the battlefield. He was honored to take on the role of "referee" for this battle. After all, no matter how you look at it, he was the most suitable person to be the referee.
"To be honest, this is quite distressing."
The boy rubbed his temples, looking conflicted.
"As for Saber, although her swordsmanship is among the worst in the Round Table and is ridiculed by all the knights, her class bonus is still there. Even if it's not as flashy as yours, it's definitely top-tier among first-class Servants."
"As for Assassin, she was an extremely famous genius swordsman in Japan at that time. What's even more terrifying is that she was not only a genius, but also extremely hardworking, which is why she was able to become the captain of the first division of the most famous Shinsengumi at the age of only sixteen."
"To be honest, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. However, although Saber's swordsmanship is often criticized, her unpredictable attacks often give others a headache and can even produce surprising results."
Shen Qiu's assessment was quite fair. After all, he had done a lot of research before coming to this world. He wouldn't say he knew all the information about the Sevents who would definitely appear, or the hundreds of Sevents who might appear in the history of the Holy Grail, but he certainly knew them by heart.
"So, you also favor Saber? She is indeed a qualified warrior, and as you said, she can be quite troublesome at times."
"No, I favor Assassin more."
"This is truly unexpected..."
Karna looked at the boy beside him with some surprise, but quickly concealed his astonishment. His Master was someone he could never see through, whether in terms of strategy or action.
Perhaps that's why he was able to become the leader of the current team and gain everyone's respect.
"In the same way, I'll give you Assassin again, but don't worry! I'll go easy on you!"
Upon hearing the Commander's words, Xiao Mo's magical power began to surge, and a faint crimson lightning magic flickered on the brilliantly shining King Sword.
While the katana named Kaga Kiyomitsu in Souji's right hand wasn't as ornate as the dazzling King's Sword, it still exuded a chilling aura under the sun.
"Then, I declare—"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Qiu decisively pulled out a whistle from somewhere.
(Karna: How much stuff is in that ring of yours? It has all sorts of things in it!)
"The first friendly match between the purple team is now officially starting!"
The moment he finished speaking, the two men, who were originally dozens of meters apart, collided with a loud bang!
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Let me show you what I'm capable of, little girl!"
The instant the two collided, Mordred didn't hesitate, and almost extravagantly activated her unique skill [Magic Release A] in order to end the battle quickly in a very short time!
· ·Requesting flowers· ········
"Clang-clang-clang!"
The moment Kaga Kiyomitsu clashed with the radiant King Sword, Okita Souji's expression changed. There was already a significant difference in strength between the two, and Mordred's immediate release of magic power caught Okita off guard.
"Is the gap really that big? In that case, the only way to win is through skill..."
This panic didn't last long. For Okita Souji, who had spent his entire life pursuing the way of the sword and fighting against countless powerful enemies, it was practically negligible, and he quickly came up with a solution.
Defend and wait for the right opportunity to exploit the weakness.
Wearing a light blue haori, Miss Souji immediately changed her strategy, avoiding a direct confrontation with Mordred and maintaining all her strength in a defensive posture. This way, both her physical strength and the magic power she consumed would be kept at a minimum.
... .. ....
While Kaga Kiyomitsu, as a peerless sword, may not be as dazzling as the King's Sword, which can be considered a divine weapon, its quality is undoubtedly extremely excellent, given that it was used by Okita Souji throughout his life.
It's practically impossible to defeat Souji by destroying his weapons.
"Damn it! Damn it! What do you mean by this?! Coward! Come and fight me head-on!"
Seeing that Okita Souji Mordred was maintaining a defensive stance and steadily catching every blow he was about to unleash, Mordred shouted in annoyance, while the effects of the magic he was releasing were visibly dissipating.
She didn't mean to look down on the other party. In battle, the appropriate use of words to harass can sometimes achieve outstanding results, such as interrupting the enemy's original complete battle plan instantly, or making the enemy's head spin and blood rush to their head.
Such tactics are actually quite shameful, especially for knights. However, for Mo, the knight's code of conduct had long been forgotten.
Thanks to her innate skill [Mind's Eye (Pseudo) A], Souji successfully blocked several of Mordred's extremely difficult attacks, which made her increasingly anxious.

Chapter 289: The Oath's Haori - Kikuichimonji (Please subscribe!)
"That's really...surprising."
On the other side of the battlefield, Rin Tohsaka looked at Okita Souji, who was constantly fighting Mordred, with some disbelief. Although Souji was being suppressed on the surface, he did not suffer any real damage.
For an Asassin to fight Saber to such a high level is enough to demonstrate Okita Souji's excellence and prove that her title of "Shogunate's Heavenly Sword" is definitely not just empty words.
"Go for it, Ms. Souji!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but shout out loud.
“Exquisite swordsmanship and unparalleled skill, Master, now I understand why you thought Assassin could win.”
Rin Tohsaka wasn't the only one surprised by the battle; Karna, who had been closely observing, was also present. As a Heroic Spirit of "627," his eyesight was dozens of times that of an ordinary human, allowing him to see far more than Rin Tohsaka.
Rin Tohsaka only saw that Asassin had kept his balance and prevented Mordred from seizing any opportunities, while Karna saw that the reason for this result was not that Mordred's attacks were not fierce; on the contrary, they were extremely fierce and completely unpredictable.
At least in his view, dealing with such a high-frequency, high-speed, high-strength, and unpredictable sword technique would be a very troublesome thing.
Even so, every time she seemed about to strike at Souji's vitals, she would always be cleverly evaded, which was driving the rebellious knight somewhat crazy.
"Tch, it's just like a tortoise shell!"
Seeing that his attacks were easily neutralized by his opponent, Mordred, who was not very patient to begin with, felt like he was about to explode with anger!
"In that case——"
Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, and her magic power was immediately mobilized and gathered at her heart. Then, a powerful wind pressure burst out from her body, stirring up dust all around!
Okita Souji had no idea that his opponent had such a move, and before he could dodge, he was thrown dozens of meters away by the strong wind pressure!
Inherent Skill: [Roaring Lion - B+]!
Her father, Artoria, was a powerful swordsman who possessed the heart of a red dragon, which served as a "magic core" and had a variety of uses.
Although Mordred, her son, did not inherit the Red Dragon Heart, he still possessed a portion of the Red Dragon Factor within him. Thus, even though he did not know magic, he was still able to perform it!
The Roaring Lion is the embodiment of this concept. It modifies the magic power within the body through the Dragon Factor, and when it is released, it will generate intense wind pressure. Although it is only an inherent skill and not a Noble Phantasm, so its power is limited, it still has the power of a ritualistic spell.
"Humph!"
Seeing Okita Souji, who had been caught off guard and knocked away by her, Mordred smiled proudly. After all, she was the heir to King Arthur; how could she dare to participate in the Holy Grail War without some skills?
While still in mid-air, Okita Souji had already steadied himself and landed on the ground in a rather elegant manner.
Despite this, she could still feel a faint stinging pain in her internal organs, and caught off guard, she was still injured by the roaring lion.
"Fortunately, my spirit core wasn't damaged, so I can still fight!"
