Standing at the gate of Ryudong Temple, the white-haired red-clad archer closed his eyes and spoke.

"However, I did think that since he was called the King of Heroes, even if he wasn't that talkative Gilgamesh, he shouldn't have been so easily defeated... But the fact that he came out unscathed is still a little discouraging."

"..."

As the smoke and dust cleared, Orpheus floated directly above the giant crater in the ground, his body spotless.

If Orpheus had taken that hit as a Servant, he might have been seriously injured, but at the last moment, he managed to activate his Hollowfication.

However, the spell that had just been painstakingly drawn was destroyed.

Orpheus has a rambling remark he's unsure whether to say.

Although I don't know where this heroic spirit came from... let's take it down.

Two longswords emerged from the royal treasury, trembling and gleaming with a golden light.

"They attacked without saying a word... That's really something..."

Emiya shook his head, then nimbly jumped backward.

Boom! Boom!

Two longswords shot at high speed into the spot where he had been standing, triggering bursts of magical energy.

Its power was far less than that of the arrow that had just struck, which was like a nuclear bomb.

but……

Looking at the dozen or so golden ripples in the sky, Emiya couldn't help but sigh.

"Seriously, even though it's a familiar scene, the sheer scale of it makes it hard to relax."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rain of golden weapons completely engulfed the robust figure of the red archer.

────────────────────────────────

"You're saying you know the location of Caster's Magic Workshop!?"

Irisviel covered her lips in surprise.

Are you telling the truth?

Saber, who was standing nearby, quickly pressed for an answer.

Just now, that evil Caster led a group of children into the Einzbern barrier and slaughtered them all right before Saber and Irisviel's eyes.

Saber, who was unharmed, naturally defeated Caster without any trouble, but she was unable to defend against his various strange methods and he managed to escape.

Enraged by Caster's despicable methods and disgusting actions, Saber naturally wanted to find Caster as soon as possible and kill him.

Standing before the two men, El-Melloi felt a sense of helplessness.

If I had known Caster would come here, I would have come earlier to ambush him.

Although he had investigated all aspects of the Holy Grail War, he was not looking down from God's perspective, and it was impossible for him to know all the details and unknown aspects.

After all, he couldn't possibly invite Emiya Kiritsugu, Kotomine Kirei, and Gilgamesh to do a post-war interview.

Yes, he did it the fifth time.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I can guarantee that the accuracy of the information I possess is at least 80%."

With a slight smile, El-Melloi said confidently.

Of course, he couldn't make any judgments based on past experiences, so he had already sent his familiars to investigate. Caster's base was exactly in the same place as before.

The only thing I'm worried about is Caster suddenly moving, but that's highly unlikely.

"This……"

Irisviel hesitated.

If it were just her alone, she would naturally agree, but now Saber's Master is not her.

Why do you want to cooperate with us?

At this moment, Saber stepped forward and looked solemnly at El-Melloi and the others.

Although she also wished she could kill that Caster immediately, that was not a reason for her to be careless about this unfamiliar group.

Whether it was the slender figure wrapped in a cloak, the pink-and-purple-haired girl holding a familiar shield, or even the overworked-looking man in front of her, Saber sensed a certain threat from them all.

"If it's for the Command Seals you can get after defeating Caster, then you should keep the secret for yourself and defeat him as quickly as possible, right? Don't tell me that with your strength, you'll be helpless against that heretical Caster."

"I'd like to know the answer to that question too."

At that moment, the door to the castle's reception room was suddenly pulled open, and Kiritsugu Emiya walked in.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue hiding, but a strange sense of perception, seemingly emanating from the overworked man, had locked onto him firmly, and was becoming increasingly brazen, as if afraid that he hadn't noticed. Kiritsugu Emiya knew that there was no point in hiding and being monitored any longer.

These people are very likely already aware that they are Saber's true Master.

"What exactly is your purpose? Can you tell us?"

When El-Melloi saw Kiritsugu Emiya finally appear, a smirk appeared on his lips.

As long as the other party is willing to talk in person instead of firing a bullet, everything is negotiable.

"Although I didn't originally intend to reveal it so soon, plans can't keep up with changes, right? So, let's start with our 'Chaldea' organization..."

Chapter 135 A Fateful Showdown (?)

On Mount Yuanzang, a streak of crimson light flashed, followed by a loud bang and towering flames.

Then, three golden beams of light followed the trajectory of the red light and struck back, causing the ground to tremble once again.

Heroic Spirit Emiya leaped backward from a tree branch, and the next second, golden light swept past his original position, severing the branch that had served as his foothold.

"Although the Master's order was just for me to test the waters a little, I don't think they would have any objections if I accidentally killed you, right?"

He landed on another branch, nocked his bow, and said with a light laugh.

He released the bowstring, and the arrows split into a rain of arrows in mid-air, engulfing Orpheus.

Orpheus strolled through the woods as if he were merely wandering in his own backyard, completely ignoring the arrows that rained down around him like missiles and the plumes of smoke and dust kicked up by the successive explosions.

"If you could do that, I might become somewhat interested in you, but unfortunately..."

With a smile, Orpheus shook his head, opened the book in his hand, but closed it again the next moment and jumped back.

Countless arrows engulfed the spot where she had been standing.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I mustn't let you take out that strange sword or open that book. These were the things the strategist repeatedly reminded me of before I left. But I originally thought the attack would just pass through like before and didn't have any hope. Now it seems..."

Red A landed nimbly on the ground, the bow in his hand vanished, replaced by two short swords.

"Your strange ability isn't invincible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Red A's expression hardened, and his figure vanished instantly. The next moment, he appeared in front of Orpheus and slashed down heavily with two short swords at the same time.

Clang!

The sudden attack was blocked by the book in Orpheus's hand. Red A hadn't expected to succeed so easily. After missing his attack, he immediately retreated, dodging the rain of golden weapons that followed. Dozens of swords of various shapes and styles appeared out of thin air behind him and fell towards Orpheus.

But this attack passed through Orpheus's body again without causing her any harm.

After taking a few more steps back to increase the distance, Orpheus sighed softly to himself.

Isolating itself from the world is an instinctive thing for the Ouroboros, requiring virtually no effort. But at this moment, the main body of the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star is fully absorbing the knowledge of the Root and analyzing and organizing it.

In this situation, if the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star were opened outside the isolated world, there would likely be an overload potential.

The coordinates are located within the world, but the entity is outside the world. Then, it needs to exert influence on the world from outside the world, and even simultaneously influence the King's Treasury and Ea. Such a complex situation requires too much computation, which the omniscient and omnipotent star cannot handle while dealing with the root.

Are you wary of books now...?

Orpheus hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.

There's no need to reveal your true power here... It's meaningless to simply kill the Servant in front of you; it's just to let those behind them know your abilities more clearly.

Using conventional methods is not impossible to defeat the opponent; at most, it will only create more trouble.

As the book in his hand vanished, dozens of golden ripples spread out behind Orpheus.

"Oh my, are you getting serious now?"

Seeing this, Red A still wore a relaxed smile.

There's nothing to be afraid of. The last person to fight him using this method is nowhere to be found.

The next moment, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, dozens of golden weapons rushed towards Archer (Red A). Archer coldly snorted, and the same number of various longswords appeared out of thin air, intercepting all of Orpheus's Noble Phantasms without missing a single one.

"Oh?"

At this moment, Orpheus watched with some interest the fireworks that were produced in mid-air due to the clash of weapons.

This scene reminded her of the time she spent playing with Enkidu.

Unfortunately, Enkidu was a true creation... or rather, he created a weapon that resembled a Noble Phantasm, while the other party was merely a simple copy.

The smell of a fake is far too strong.

Just as he was pondering, Red A raised his twin swords again and slashed at Orpheus.

Putting aside his pointless sighs, Orpheus looked at his opponent properly for the first time.

A resolute face, slightly dark skin, and hair that looked like it was sticking up with hair gel.

With a profound aura, he truly deserves to be called a hero.

only……

The Gate of Babylon, thinking it could subdue her, swung its sword at her...

That really underestimates her.

Just as the twin swords were about to touch Orpheus's body, a strong sense of crisis erupted in Red A's heart.

With his eyes wide open, Red A forcibly stopped and quickly tried to retreat, while Gan Jiang and Mo Xie blocked in front of him.

The next moment, the sound of the twin swords shattering rang out.

Red A broke out in a cold sweat, watching as the black blade sliced ​​past his throat.

He was just centimeters away from having to go back to Alaya to eat his lunch.
