Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

“…What?” Nian Zhuo’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if the scene on the ship was real.

A hideous monster stood in front of Jason and Medea, its hand gripping the deadly attack of the W armor released by Nian Zhuo.

Its body was clearly split into two parts from the middle, and the colors were very similar to Nian Zhuo's W armor, except that they were a dull green and purple... The scarlet beast eyes were staring at the purple beam in its hand with pleasure.

However, it's not over yet.

Two monsters appeared beside Jason and Medea.

Its body, composed of dull gold and purple, has a face identical to the one at the front, and is currently staring at the two people lying on the ground in front of it with a mournful expression.

Its body, composed of pure sky blue and purple, looked no different from the previous two, and was now glaring angrily in the direction of the island.

"That's... an Otherworldly Knight!" Nian Zhuo gritted his teeth, instantly recognizing the true form of the monster that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. He couldn't help but slam his fist on the tree trunk beside him. "Damn it... of all times!"

Although Nian Zhuo could guess that Another Rider had appeared, he didn't expect that this time it would actually be Another Rider w.

What was even more unexpected was that there were as many as three Other Knights, who surrounded and protected the seriously injured Medea and Jason.

"Why—why—!" Ignoring the blood gushing from his head, Jason stood up angrily, looking at the three monsters beside him with disgust. "Why are you all targeting me—you despicable bastards!" He kept stomping on the ship's deck, but the pain in his body made him kneel down on the ground again.

"Please calm down, Master!" Despite being badly injured herself, Medea still stood in front of Jason first. "I will protect you...!"

“Ah… um, thank you, Medea.” Jason forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and helped Medea up by the shoulder. “…But relying on someone as immature as you is a bit too much…” Before he could finish, the three monsters beside him suddenly moved.

"By order of our esteemed King, we have come to assist you in achieving your goal." Turning around, he nodded to Jason, a hint of disdain flashing in the eyes of the Otherworldly Knight W. "I hope you two will not be ungrateful. As the noble allies of our King, we should feel honored to have come to your rescue!"

"You—!" Jason's face contorted with rage, but just as he was about to stand up, he clutched his abdomen in pain. Blood was still gushing from the wounds inflicted by the rain of arrows. "Damn it—damn women—!"

"..." At the very front, the outcast W, whose half-body was probably Gale Ace, completely crushed the purple shock released by Nian Zhuo in his hand, and then raised his head with pleasure. "This fluctuation, no doubt about it! No doubt about it! It is our king! Our noble servant!" His scarlet eyes lost focus and bobbed up and down, and he couldn't help but pull out an ugly smile, revealing his beast-like sharp teeth.

"Submit now!" The alien, its face contorted with rage, roared at the two weak humans who stood motionless before it, "Do you think you're worthy to sit on equal footing with us, the noble ones?!"

“…Don’t joke around!” Enduring the pain in his abdomen, Jason glared at the three monsters in front of him. “We are the heroes of justice! The heroes of the Argo, the guardians of justice in this era, how could we submit to monsters like you! Damn it, if Hercules were still here…!” The thought of his trusted warriors being dead made Jason collapse to the ground, his face ashen.

“...Those who insult the king shall pay with their blood.” The Moon Goddess Ace, an alien creature with a mournful face, stretched out its golden tentacles, about to slash Jason and Medea’s necks.

However, the emerald green wind blades instantly severed his tentacles. When he turned his head in confusion, he saw the alien Gale Ace standing at the bow of the ship, his red eyes regaining their composure.

"We've found the king. Follow me." With these brief words, Gale Ace was lifted up by a raging wind and swiftly flew towards the island.

"...Hmph, you guys got lucky and escaped with your lives, you scum." With a mournful face, Luna Ace jumped into the sea and quickly followed the figure of the first alien, W, towards the island.

"..." The fiery ace, with an angry expression, remained silent and walked towards the sea.

However, just before he jumped, he swung his hand towards Jason and Medea's heads, unleashing a fiery slash that instantly sliced ​​through the already damaged mast behind them, the cut melting as if a hot knife were cutting butter.

Then, without saying a word, he jumped into the sea and caught up with the two Otherworldly Riders W.

“Trash…haha…trash…” Jason muttered these two words blankly, slamming his fist down on the ship's deck. However, his weak fighting ability caused his palm to bleed. “Damn it…damn it, damn it, damn it! That third-rate Heroic Spirit! He even tried to take Hector and Hercules with him before he died! Trash, trash, trash!”

"Master, your..." Medea was about to rush over to treat him when she was pushed aside. "Ah!!"

"Once I kill Euryale and obtain the Ark of the Covenant..." Ignoring the blood seeping from the wounds, Jason smiled cruelly and sinisterly, "Once I gain the greatest power, I will kill all of you damned trash and become the king of this sea... Fuhahahahaha!"

"Medea!...No, my love! Use your Noble Phantasm!" He stood up, covered in wounds, and poured the magic power of the Holy Grail he had gathered into Medea, who had been pushed to the ground beside him. "Restore us to our condition, and then we will have the strength to fight them. Don't worry, those brainless idiots have no way to beat us."

"...Yes! I understand, Master!" Then, feeling the magical power flowing into her body, Medea's staff gradually emitted a soft green light. "Then, I will unleash my Noble Phantasm!"

Her figure floated in mid-air, and Medea closed her eyes.

"【Pain Breaker】——!"

A gentle rain fell from the sky.

The blows landed on Jason and Medea, and the wounds began to heal on their own... No, it wasn't healing.

A healing artifact paired with "All Symbols Will Break the Rules".

If Medea's Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of the legend of betrayal, then Medea Lily's Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of love.

Damage caused by either curses or magic can be healed.

This Noble Phantasm doesn't operate on time; rather, it calculates the original state of the person being repaired and automatically repairs them. To others, it appears as if time has reversed. It can overcome anything except death, and cannot bring back the dead.

The two, covered in wounds, were healed by the gentle rain, which restored their bodies to their peak condition before they were injured.

Jason clenched his fist, nodding with satisfaction as he felt his body fully recovered.

"Alright! Medea, you'll stay with me." Jason pointed to Medea, who was somewhat weakened after unleashing her Noble Phantasm. "You must fulfill your duty as a Servant and protect me well! As for those monsters, let them fight it out first; we'll just sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Those guys are just a bunch of Archers. We can take them down quickly with those monsters!" Jason bit his thumb, and the thought of that scene made him want to laugh out loud.

“…Sigh.” Medea stood listlessly beside Jason, her eyelids lowered. “So it’s all been part of the enemy’s scheme…” She then touched her staff with some curiosity. “But how do they plan to deal with those three monsters? Leaving aside the other two, I sensed magic power from that red and purple monster that was no less than Hector’s… Putting aside Asterius, that… child named Mash is completely insufficient. Unless they have three Servants who can reliably defeat Hector in close combat… or…” As if she had thought of a possibility, Medea quickly shook her head.

"No, no, no, how could that be?" Although she said that, Medea looked at the island with some anticipation. "You have no reason to work so hard, future magician?"

Meanwhile, seeing the three monsters rushing towards them, everyone's thoughts were in turmoil.

"They're here, Fujimaru Ritsuka." Euryale's expression changed instantly as she watched the three figures approaching. "Wait, what are those?...Master?!"

"I don't know either...!" Ritsuka cried out, equally clueless. Looking at everyone present, weakened by the release of their Noble Phantasms, she gritted her teeth. "Alright, everyone! Let's stick to the original plan! Retreat!"

“Understood… Protect me well!” Euryale nodded and quickly sat on Asterius’s shoulder.

"I'll take charge of directing the way!" Da Vinci's words also came through Mashu's communication device. Even she was a little clueless about the three people who had suddenly appeared. "Fujimaru Ritsuka, all you need to do is run!"

"Okay, let's go!" Then, Asterius moved, his heavy body moving surprisingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he darted away from where he had been.

"—! Halt! Hand over our king—!" The three monsters behind them, seeing the group suddenly fleeing into the distance, didn't have time to think. They roared like beasts and chased after them. "Despicable scum! Give us back our king!"

"Damn it! Why did you have to get involved now!" Nian Zhuo didn't care about anything else and rushed over to Mashu and the others, heading in the direction that Another Rider W was chasing. "'Beast,' I'll keep this score on your head!"

Meanwhile, Leonardo da Vinci, far away in Chaldea, looked at the report in his hand with some strangeness.

"...that unknown attack, and this suddenly appearing enemy." As he flipped through the report in his hand, a line of text suddenly caught Leonardo da Vinci's eye.

'Based on a rough analysis, the monster's energy fluctuations are the same as those of the unidentified monsters that appeared in the previous three singularities. The first two monsters were both from the Nian Zhuo—'

“Rare indeed…” Leonardo da Vinci touched his chin, as if he understood something, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

"What the hell, that damn guy." Da Vinci picked up the communication device and tapped his fingers on the keyboard, sending a message to a dazed and distraught little girl.

"..." Meanwhile, in the director's bedroom, the girl, who seemed to have lost her soul, opened her lifeless orange eyes and looked at the communication device in her hand.

It was just five short words, yet they instantly brightened her eyes.

Without even tidying her hair and clothes, she ran out of the bedroom in her slippers.

Art that is still too early for this era

"Damn it, why did the Another Rider suddenly appear at this time!" Nianzhuo couldn't help but curse under his breath for the damned guy who was watching him from who-knows-where, as he kept chasing after Ritsuka and the others.

“But the most important thing now is whether or not I should expose myself…” Unexpectedly, Nian Zhuo was so distracted that he failed to see the tree trunk under his feet and almost slipped. He quickly grabbed the branch with both hands. “Tsk, this makes me even further away from them…” Nian Zhuo stroked his chin, looked at the W watch on his waist, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.

"That's right!" He clapped his hands as if he had just realized something, looking like he hadn't thought of that before. "I can use the power of the Cyclone Memory... How come I didn't think of that? It's all those Another Riders' fault." He then openly shifted the blame to the Another Riders, and a green phoenix vortex gradually rose from beneath Nian Zhuo's feet, propelling Nian Zhuo's body into the air.

"Next, the question is how to defeat them!" Then, Nian Zhuo stomped his foot in the air and shot out like a cannonball, seeing Ritsuka and the others running through the dense forest—as well as the three alien knights chasing after them.

"Drake! Mash! Let's stick to the original plan!" Ritsuka instructed Mash and Drake, who were protecting them, as she followed Euryale. "Since we don't know where they come from, let's just treat them as enemies!" Looking back at the ferocious appearance of the monster following them, Ritsuka couldn't help but purse her lips. "Besides, I don't really think that kind of monster would be our ally..."

"——!——!" Behind them, the roar of the three ferocious beasts seemed to be right next to them, even startling the birds in the dense forest so much that they flew away completely.

"Just as Ritsuka predicted!" Panting heavily, Drake drew his flintlock pistol from his waist, slowed his pace, and raised his short sword as he watched Mash and the others running towards him. "For some reason, they're also after Euryale! We need to hold out here first!"

"Okay! I'll do my best to cover you!" Seeing Mash's appearance, Drake instantly understood her intention and quickly stood in front of the attacking monster. "Mash! The success of this operation depends entirely on you! You must hold on!" Then, in order to find the hidden trump card, Drake turned around and ran past them.

"Don't worry." Atalanta twitched her ears and drew back the bowstring of her Sky Bow. "I'll take her with me. So... focus on defense!" Seeing that her opponent had stopped, Atalanta didn't even need to aim before firing three more arrows.

"Yes!... Mash Kyrielight, attack!" The girl carrying the shield strode forward, blocking the three Another Riders who were rushing towards them.

"——!——!" As expected, the opponent became even angrier after seeing Ritsuka and the others' serious preparations. The alien Moon God Ace even stretched out its golden half-body and transformed into several tentacles to strike over.

"How dare... how dare they interfere with us!" The mournful expression on their faces grew even more sorrowful, but the offensive brought by the Otherworldly Knights was far from over.

"...!" Mash gritted her teeth and blocked the golden tentacle thrown by the moon goddess. Although she felt a shock in her hand, both the power and speed were within Mash's acceptable range. Then, the blazing red light suddenly hit the shield in her hand, exploding into a series of sparks.

"Eee-ya...!" Even Mashu herself was knocked back by this sudden attack, and quickly blew on the residual heat on her hands. "...What?!" An attack from the blazing ace with an angry face, which was not too far away from her.

"You scumbag woman who's getting in our way! Die—!" Her furious face contorted even more, her dark red half-body radiating heat as if it were about to breathe fire, rising to a level that forced everyone to be on guard. Looking at Mashu and the others before her, she tore at her own face, screaming, "Damn it—damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Why are you getting in my way! How could you possibly get in my way! How dare you get in my way!"

"...Tch, Master!" Struggling to defend against the flames emanating from the fiery half of Another Ace's body, Mash glanced at Ritsuka beside her, who was frowning deeply. "They are mindless monsters; persuasion with words is practically out of the question!"

“…I see.” On the other side, Ritsuka and Euryale exchanged a glance and both nodded. “Then Mashu! As we agreed before, we’ll leave the support and protection to you!”

"Received, Master!" Mash finally revealed a serious expression, her entire body surging with silver magical power. "From now on, you will not be able to harm them!" Raising her shield, Mash leaped and smashed it towards the enraged Ace during a lull in the attack.

"Haa—!" The girl carrying the giant shield moved with remarkable agility. She continuously unleashed scorching flames from her fiery ace, flames that seemed capable of melting the air itself, but they were all blocked by the shield she wielded as she advanced.

"Help me, half of my body!" Then, muttering the strange title, watching Mashu rush towards her, her angry expression instantly changed to the mournful face on the Moon Goddess Ace. "Ugh... It's coming! I'm going to get hit!"

"Don't even think about it!" An angry and familiar voice came from the other side, accompanied by a golden tentacle-like arm. Meanwhile, the face of the alien Moon God Ace turned into an angry expression, spitting hard at the grass beside him.

"You think you can defeat me with an attack that even an idiot could see through... You're too naive, woman!" Manipulating her arm, the golden tentacles also wrapped around the trees. Trees that would normally require two people to hold hands to encircle snapped in two under the entanglement of the tentacles, and the lush tree trunks rushed towards Mash, who had just broken through the flames, with the force of the impact.

"Bang—!" The crisp sound of a bowstring plucking through the air came from behind Mashu as a bright silver arrow shot out. Its immense kinetic energy, like a silver moonlight, sliced ​​the thick tree trunk in half, and it fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Hmph... Don't underestimate our strength!" Orion swung his wooden stick up and down, a smug look on the teddy bear's face.

“Miss Artemis—” Seeing her reliable friend arrive, Mashu nodded and then became alert again. “The opponent seems to be a monster that can manipulate tentacles and flames. Please be careful!”

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to me~" Artemis nodded to Orion, then flew into the air. "Alright, listen up, Mashu, we'll create an opportunity for you, whether you can seize it or not is up to you!" A silver arrow condensed on Artemis's bowstring, and the silver-haired goddess closed her eyes.

"Archery - Jade Sky Piercer!" In the next moment, Artemis shot out a silver arrow, and a second arrow immediately appeared on the bowstring. The goddess's hand kept pulling the bowstring, and the silver arrow rain kept hitting the ground with a violent roar.

"Quick! Now, Mash!" Artemis signaled to Mash as the path between them and the monster was covered by the dust from her rain of arrows.

"Okay!" Mash charged into the smoke with her shield drawn, while the monster's rough breathing served as the best way to find her way.

"I can't let you disturb her—!" Then, a silver light appeared in the goddess's eyes, her long silver hair moved without wind, and Artemis finally drew back the bowstring with all her might.

Longer, thicker, and more dazzling than ordinary arrows, this arrow, imbued with the full power of the Moon Goddess, was aimed at the enraged or mournful faces of the alien knights, Moon Goddess Ace and Fiery Ace.

"...!" The two monsters also sensed the extraordinary nature of the arrow on Artemis's bowstring. Just looking at Artemis's body bathed in sunlight made their eyes sting.

“Come on, my dear!” Artemis smiled and reached out her hand to Orion beside her. “Let’s buy Mash enough time!”

"Hey, are you serious...!?" Orion the bear looked at his short hands, and though his question was uncertain, he placed his hands on Artemis's bowstring. "Okay, just this once, okay?" Then, the bear's eyes turned blood red, and he even revealed his fangs.

"Shoot those two hideous monsters off the ground! Artemis!"

"Mmm! My dear!" Artemis and Orion blushed and looked down at the ground at the same time, releasing the bowstring.

"Buzz—!" Even the air vibrated as the silver light released from the combined attack of the two instantly shone in mid-air.

Under the sun's rays, even the moon must hide its true form.
