People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

He is a hero, not a murderer. Without the order of his lord, he is not willing to commit meaningless killings.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Finn did not stop her, Altria's eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

"No need to thank me. This is a fight between you and me. No innocent people should be involved."

Finn nodded slightly, leaning his back against the sea, continuing to wave his spear to gather more waves, and finally he asked Altria.

"The next step is the final fight. Are you ready, King Arthur?"

"Well, go ahead, Lancer!"

Looking at the huge waves above her head, Artoria took a deep breath and already had an answer in her mind about the outcome of this competition.

However, even so, she was not afraid at all. She nodded slightly, and then bravely moved forward with her sword.

This is his last move. It will determine who is stronger and who is weaker, and also decide life and death!

After the last sentence was spoken, both of them lowered their voices.

The sea breeze blew, and the atmosphere became more solemn at this moment.

After confirming their glances, the two of them prepared their moves, and then—

"Then, the explanation of the Noble Phantasm..."

I was alone and hadn't yet finished chanting the final spell of liberation.

Suddenly, they heard a sound of light footsteps, and saw a third person walking out from the corner of the port.

"Is this how the outcome will be decided? Looks like I'm still a little late..."

The mist dissipated, and a charming figure emerged from the shadows. A purple-black bodysuit wrapped around her slender yet not frail figure. A black veil covered her purple hair. Her red eyes were filled with demonic intent, and her beautiful face was covered by a veil...

Her appearance is indeed extremely beautiful, but she is more demonic than anything else. Even if one cannot clearly see her true appearance beneath the veil, one can still recognize her beauty just through the hazy shadow.

"...Who are you? The Lancer from today!"

Seeing Scathach emerging late from the fog, Artoria widened her eyes and called out his identity.

"It's you, Saber. We meet again. I was planning to come and challenge you to a fight myself, but someone else beat me to it."

"Also, my partner wasted some time because he was obsessed with magic, so he came a little late."

Completely disregarding the tense and solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, Scathach swaggered out from the corner and greeted them, "You too, good evening. It's been a long time since we last met, Finn MacCool, the descendant of the God of War Nuada. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Ugh……"

Seeing this beautiful and familiar figure, Finn's face showed a complicated expression. He then raised his hand and greeted Scathach, "You too, the Queen of the Other Side of the Demon Realm. I never thought that I would have the honor of meeting you again in this Holy Grail War."

As a descendant of gods in Celtic mythology, Finn was naturally no stranger to the equally famous queen in front of him.

However, when he saw that his real name, which he had kept hidden for such a long time during the battle with Saber, was easily called out by the other party, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

Scathach didn't care about this, because she knew very well that when she and Finn appeared in the Holy Grail War at the same time, hiding her real name would no longer make sense.

And now, when she met the other two top heroes from Celtic mythology, the fighting spirit hidden in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

Scathach turned her palm over, and then two scarlet lights flashed, and two scarlet magic spears, one long and one short, were tightly grasped in her palm.

"Now... who of you will go first? Or will you all go together?"

He lightly raised a gun in the air, then his crimson eyes swept lightly over Finn and Altria, and finally a powerful magic power burst out from his body, causing the two people present to change their expressions.

"Two Lancers?"

Seeing the magic spear spinning in Scathach's hand, Artoria couldn't help but turn her head to look at Finn standing in the distance, her small eyes filled with great doubts.

Chapter 34: The increasingly lively battlefield (two in one)

"The situation is really messed up..."

Seeing Scathach barging into the battlefield, Finn, who was originally full of confidence and ready to deal with Saber and her Master in one go, paused, then stopped his action, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Located in a coastal area, with the sea at his back, he had countless currents at his disposal. As long as he was in this harbor, he would have an absolute advantage, and even King Arthur would not be his opponent.

If there really had been a clash of Noble Phantasms just now, the power that could be unleashed by the Holy Sword, which could not be fully unleashed, would have been absolutely unable to withstand the huge waves.

In reality, he had been letting up somewhat from the very beginning. Waiting for the other Servants to arrive, his tactics consisted of attrition and diversion. However, Artoria failed to immediately notice his actions, and was gradually dragged into the rhythm. Furthermore, even though he knew the android behind him wasn't the Master, Saber's behavior suggested its importance. Attacking the woman named Irisviel would undoubtedly distract King Arthur from his focus, exposing a greater vulnerability.

It can only be said that he reappeared after death, and not as the foolish old self, but in the state of his favorite youth. Finn missed the time when he was a knight and a hero so much that he didn't want it to end so soon, and he unconsciously let some water out of his heart... no, it should be the sea.

He felt that a hero like King Arthur, who was not famous for his martial arts, should not have left in such a frustrated and resentful manner. She should have burst out with brilliance at the last moment, so she gave Artoria one last chance to fight.

Of course, he was different from someone who, in pursuit of justice among knights, would even go against his lord's wishes. Finn did this because he had already seen the victory he was destined to win, and he would complete his lord's orders before satisfying his own desires.

However, since he hadn't had such a satisfying fight in such a long time, he gradually became excited this time. Seeing that no other Servant had come for such a long time, he thought that no one would come, which delayed his opportunity a little...

It can only be said that he was careless and missed a good opportunity. He must remember this mistake and never make it again.

Now with Scathach's arrival, Finn, who knew the abilities and reputation of the Queen of Shadow Country, naturally did not dare to underestimate her.

He looked at the two scarlet magic spears in his hands, one long and one short, with his eyes narrowed slightly, full of fear.

To be honest, compared to King Arthur, he was more concerned about the two magic spears in Scathach's hands that could kill gods.

The original balance between the two sides was completely shattered by the intervention of this force.

Now, he could still use his Noble Phantasm to fight King Arthur directly, and then crush her to death in one breath with the power of the ocean, but there would be only one result.

Even if he could defeat King Arthur, it did not mean that he could win completely. On the contrary, after releasing his Noble Phantasm, he would be in a window period and expose a huge flaw. If Scathach, who was in a third-party position, took the opportunity to shoot him, he would most likely die there.

His goal was to win, not to be taken advantage of, so for now he could only put aside the release of his Noble Phantasm and confront the two Heroic Spirits present.

In this regard, Artoria, who also understood the situation of the battle, naturally would not rashly release her Noble Phantasm. She looked at the two heroic spirits holding spears in front of her with fear, her eyes full of confusion.

It's true that Finn's weapon is a gun, and considering the unparalleled martial arts skills he just displayed in the battle, he must be a Lancer.

Although this made Artoria wonder what class the purple-haired woman she saw on the street today was, she didn't think much about it. Perhaps she was mistaken and the other party might actually be Archer or Assassin.

But with the afterimages of the two scarlet magic spears constantly spinning in her palms, and the fierce fighting spirit that was no less than Finn's, Artoria's doubts arose again.

Two Lancers in one Holy Grail War?

Could it be that this wasn't a battle between seven riders, but more of a melee?

Then, just as she was feeling doubtful about the current situation, something strange happened...

——Boom! !

Accompanied by a sharp roar like thunder fragments.

Immediately afterwards, a blue lightning streaked across the night sky, crashing directly into the battlefield. This stunned Scathach, Finn, and the others who were already eager to start fighting. They looked at the lightning in doubt and shock...

Lightning flashed, and then dissipated a heat wave ignited by thunder. It was seen that the true form of the thunder was actually a majestic chariot.

A chariot traveling in the sky.

"It's a chariot..."

Finn bit his finger and was the first to discern the true nature of the lightning. The chariot was an ancient one carved with a bull's head, and the riders on it weren't horses, but two blue divine bulls, trampling the thunder and pulling the magnificent chariot.

"Both parties, put down your weapons! You are in front of me now!!"

The one who made such a high-profile appearance and loudly announced his arrival was the red-haired heroic spirit named Rider. He drove his living room chariot and rushed into the battlefield, loudly announcing his arrival.

"..."

"..."

The three people present couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this outrageous scene, and then looked at the red-haired man who appeared at an obviously inappropriate time with a look of stupidity.

Next to him was a black-haired boy who was flying too fast in the air and was a little unconscious because of the cold night wind and the astonishing height. He was Weber Wilster, one of the traitors that Kenneth had been looking for.

"Is this the Master's student?"

Because he had seen photos of Weber and Rowe in advance, Finn recognized them the moment they appeared.

"Haha, everyone, stop now! That's great! Now, listen carefully! My name is Iskandar, the King of Conquerors. I reappear in this Holy Grail War as Rider. Are there any like-minded heroes willing to serve under my command?!"

Rider, who made a high-profile appearance and directly revealed his real name, declared this.

"..."

The scene was also silent, almost pitch-black.

"...So, the world has been conquered by such an idiot before?"

This thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.

That's really sad...

"How...how should I evaluate this?"

Finn was a little overwhelmed.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Scathach was particularly unhappy.

"Where did he... come from?"

Altria was confused.

"What?! That traitor Weber Wilster has shown up!!"

On the other side, Kayneth, who was chasing Emiya Kiritsugu relentlessly, was also a little surprised.

Luo Wei immediately clapped his hands and cooperated by rolling his eyes: "Good, you really have the spirit of a Conqueror King."

Inwardly, he complained: "Burning right in, aren't you afraid of being beaten up by three people?"

Matou Zouken gave a puzzled look.

"In the plan?"

Luo Wei shook his head slightly and replied innocently, "Obviously... this was completely unplanned."

"In other words... the current situation is that Lancer, Saber, Caster, and Rider, who just appeared, have all revealed their true names. Adding Berserker Lancelot's words, five of them are already known. Adding Assassin, who withdrew due to the attack on the Tōsaka residence, the only Servant who hasn't revealed his true name is Tōsaka Tokiomi's."

Matou Zouken had no doubt about Luo Wei's words, but instead stroked his chin thoughtfully and analyzed the modern war situation.

"Oh? Matou-san, you don't really think Assassin would be so easily eliminated on the first night of the Holy Grail War, do you?"

Faced with Matou Zouken's analysis, Luo Wei shook his head indifferently and then reminded him.

"what do you mean……"

Upon hearing this, Matou Zouken frowned, but it is said that the longer a person lives, the smarter he becomes. Having lived for more than 500 years, he is certainly not a fool and naturally understood the hidden meaning in Luo Wei's words.

"Those who become Heroic Spirits are all true heroes who have left their names and marks in human history. This is true even for Assassin, whose combat abilities are somewhat weaker. How could he possibly retire so hastily?"

"And even if he wanted to exploit Assassin's strengths for an assassination, he wouldn't have chosen to do it during the highly tense first night, right? It would have been more appropriate to do it during the third or fourth nights, when the fighting was already underway and weaknesses were exposed. But he chose the first night, a time when he was clearly committing suicide. In other words..."

Luo Wei did not explain his words clearly, leaving room for Matou Zouken to make his own inferences.

"Did Assassin do this on purpose?! He wanted to create the illusion of being eliminated and withdrawn on the first night, so that he could go from the open to the dark and hide in this Holy Grail War."

"The Assassin class is naturally skilled at assassination, so in normal operations, they will be particularly targeted and guarded against by all Masters. However, if they are taken out, they will completely hide in the darkness, and then take advantage of the enemy's carelessness and directly plunge into the enemy's chest like a sharp blade, thus gaining an absolute advantage."

In just a few minutes, Matou Zouken's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately thought of the correct answer to this matter.

"Exactly."

In response, Luo Wei nodded, "Then, Mr. Matou, why do you think Tōsaka Tokiomi came to help Assassin act out this scene?"

Why do we have to play this drama...

Hearing Luo Wei's question, Matou Zouken looked at him in front of him, thought about himself, and quickly understood everything.

"Hahaha, I see, I see... I never thought we weren't the only two who formed an alliance before the Holy Grail War began. That brat from the Tōsaka family actually thought of something like this in advance."

"Archer, who has a strong summoning ability, is openly holding us back and fighting, but he is also secretly allying with Assassin. He undoubtedly intends to attack us from both the Master and Servants' perspectives. How impressive!"

Matou Zouken couldn't help but admire the sophisticated plan formulated by Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Even he had to admit that the combination of Archer and Assassin, one bright and one dark, was far more advantageous than their Berserker and Caster combination.
