People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

The next moment, Artoria screamed, and then her body moved involuntarily, swinging the holy sword towards Kayneth beside Scathach.

"Is this... the effect of the Command Spell?"

Seeing this scene, Scathach raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately guessed the answer in her heart.

"It seems that Saber's Master is also a troublesome guy..."

Chapter 5: Kenneth's Counterattack (5K words)

——clang!!

The sharp sound of spears and swords pierced the air, and the swings brought about a series of sharp explosions in the air. Magical rays of different colors suddenly bloomed on the ruins. The power released in the moment of the weapons clashing was enough to tear the earth and shred the air...

"Oh, is it finally starting?"

On the battlefield, facing Artoria who was suddenly amplified by the Command Seal and attacked directly, Scathach's expression did not change at all, and she remained calm.

Rather, this is the correct offensive posture.

To her, the nagging Saber just now was even more annoying than she is now.

The battlefield is a fight to the death, full of deception and intrigue, let alone the Holy Grail War, where heroes clash across countless time periods and eras.

To achieve victory by any means necessary, employing extraordinary measures, seemed completely reasonable to her. Rather, she was more surprised that such an effective counterattack could be organized today, despite the defeat last night.

Therefore, Scathach did not think there was any problem with the strategy adopted by the Einzberns. Instead, she felt that it had many merits. At least the ability to take action was indeed ridiculously strong.

If the Saber in front of her could be less fussy and just come straight up and start fighting, her experience would obviously be better.

However, Scathach didn't expect that the first thing this guy did when he came with a team of Assassins was not to finish off the enemy, but to feel sad about the damage he had caused and blame himself for the behavior of his master.

Seeing this scene, Scathachana felt speechless and puzzled, and even began to doubt whether this was the real King Arthur? Why did he feel like a rookie knight?

Even if you're just a little girl out there, you're still King Arthur, right? The renowned knight king who expelled foreigners, whose hands are stained with countless blood and whose slain are countless...

If that’s the case, where did this sentimental look of an innocent little girl come from?

He even hesitated to launch an attack because he felt guilty, and instead chatted with me here. Doesn't he understand the simplest truth that speed is the essence of war?

Not to mention the Assassins who had been surrounding her and urging her for a long time, Scathach was also worried about Artoria.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder where this Knight King came from. Could it be that the British people of that era were so harmonious?

If it were her disciples, they would have taken advantage of the person's illness and started a fierce fight to kill him.

Fortunately, this meaningless chat did not last too long, because the manipulator standing behind Saber could no longer tolerate her betrayal of not putting in any effort, so he directly used a command seal to forcibly control Artoria's body, instructing her to immediately cooperate with the Assassins around her to kill Kayneth and completely get rid of Lancer, the great threat.

Scathach smiled slightly at this situation. This action could only be said to be exactly what she wanted.

"It's good that you came." She sighed.

She had been thinking about fighting the Knight King since their first meeting, but she just never had the chance.

Now, it's just right.

"on!"

"Go together!!"

Seeing that Artoria finally moved under the control of the Command Spell, the Assassins around her also began to move.

Their dark figures scattered in all directions, and then taking advantage of the gap between Scathach and Artoria's fight, they drew their swords and slashed at Kenneth beside them without mercy.

"Go straight for the Master? This is a really simple and effective strategy. It seems that you want to end the battle quickly and don't want to waste a minute..."

Seeing dozens of figures sweeping around like dark shadows, Scathach sighed slightly.

so troublesome……

Seeing the powerful clone ability of Hassan the Hundred Faces, even she couldn't help but frown.

They are numerous and not afraid of death. Although the level of each clone is not very good, they are insects that can be easily killed by her with one shot, but they can also pose a fatal threat to Kenneth.

Because of the Master's orders, she now has to protect the lemon-headed person beside her, so she has to deal with these troublesome guys while fighting with Altria.

Although it was not difficult for her to do this with her martial arts skills, Scathach felt a little uncomfortable because she was distracted during the battle.

So she could only fight off Altria while shooting and killing several Assassins who attacked her, passively defending herself and starting to fight and retreat.

——Bang bang bang! !

The fierce collision sounds between guns and swords continued to play. Scathach twisted her body like a flexible dancer and began to kill all around while surrounded by Assassin.

Every time he fires a gun, he can take a life in an instant. Hidden beneath his graceful movements are countless terrifying murderous intentions.

too strong……

As the fight continued, Altria became more and more surprised.

Because even though their current battle looked close, she knew very well...

I am at an absolute disadvantage.

You have to know that she is now under the coercive force of the Command Spell and has been strengthened. At this moment, all aspects of her data are stronger than usual, and this is even with the interference of Assassin on her side.

However, even with such an advantage, they were only able to tie and remain in a stalemate...

At this moment, there is no doubt about the strength of Queen Scathach.

The opponent, using only two vermilion spears, was able to simultaneously block her attacks while slowly clearing out the surrounding Assassins. His terrifying spearmanship, worthy of being considered the ultimate masterpiece of the Age of Gods, made it even more difficult for her to adapt...

"What's wrong? Saber, you can't keep up like this?"

"I can sense that you're not in great shape right now. The strength you've shown right now is enough to make even the Sword Heroic Spirit class weep."

It was clearly a one-on-two, or even one-on-a-hundred situation, but Scathach was not nervous at all. Instead, she seized the opportunity and taunted Saber in the midst of the fierce battle.

"You are truly incomparably powerful, Queen Scathach. Your martial arts skills far surpass mine."

As a king and a swordsman learned by Merlin, although Artoria is full of confidence in her martial arts, she has to admit the reality before her.

"Don't worry about that. The vast majority of Heroic Spirits in this world cannot compare to me in terms of martial arts."

Scathach smiled indifferently. Although it sounded like she was bragging, Artoria, who was fighting with her, knew very well that she was not bragging.

As the pace of their battle continued to increase, Artoria, who was originally out of shape, slowly regained some feeling from the battle. She looked at the Queen of Shadow Kingdom in front of her with a smile and nodded.

"I'm sorry, Lancer, but now I'm going to try my best too!"

No matter how dissatisfied she was, Saber now knew very well that she had no other choice. Whether for her own wishes or Irisviel's safety, she could not continue to be confused. She had to win, she had to win! She could not allow her Master to lose more Command Seals because of her willfulness.

"Oh? Are you back to normal?"

Seeing Artoria regaining her fighting spirit and gradually speeding up her movements, Scathach couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Very good, that's right, or you should have done it earlier, otherwise there would be no point in fighting!"

After a sigh, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows also changed her actions in the battle, immediately transforming her original passive defense into active attack. At the same time, she swung the two scarlet magic spears in her hands and pierced through from a more tricky angle, aiming straight at Artoria's heart.

However, Artoria obviously would not let him succeed so easily. Facing the fatal attack launched by Scathach, her wrist suddenly turned, and then she swung the wind blade at her without hesitation.

In an instant, a more violent collision broke out with them as the center.

……

Tohsaka House.

"This divine spearmanship, even against Saber and Assassin at the same time, can still briefly hold its own. The martial arts of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows is truly incomprehensible."

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was watching the battle through his familiar, slapped his thigh, an anxious look on his face.

Just seeing Scathach's sharp magic spear and unparalleled martial arts made him feel more and more uneasy. At the same time, he was more convinced that his previous thoughts were indeed correct.

The God Slayer Scathach is indeed a serious threat in this Holy Grail War. She is too great a threat to Gilgamesh, so she must be eliminated!

After a brief moment of waiting, Tōsaka Tokiomi's already anxious heart grew even more impatient. He watched Assassin, who had been killed by a single spear before so many others had managed to assassinate Scathach, grow increasingly anxious. He even forgot his long-cultivated elegance and cursed, "Waste!"

This useless Assassin, I didn't expect that assassinating a modern magician would be so difficult. Although there was Scathach's influence, anyone could see that most of Scathach's energy was being diverted by Saber at this moment.

But even this didn't work, how could Tōsaka Tokiomi not feel anxious.

You have to know that the noise they made was quite loud, and the casualties were countless. Although the area has been sealed off, there is no way to hold out for too long.

His old friend Kotomine Risho had just called to ask what was going on here. In addition, the other masters must have also discovered the situation here. If the battle is not resolved quickly, it will probably turn into a seven-rider melee like the first night, and all the efforts will be wasted.

However, he didn't realize that Assassin was never a consumable in such a frontal attack. Instead, the increasingly uncontrollable situation made Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was originally confident, panic again.

"Damn it, we can't drag this on any longer!"

He clenched his fists, then suddenly turned around and gave new orders to Kotomine Kirei who was standing behind him.

"Kirei, use the Command Seals and order all Assassins to release their Noble Phantasms. Make sure to kill El-Melloi!"

"...Yes, as you command, teacher."

Kotomine Kirei calmly raised his hand and used the Command Seal as instructed.

Compared to the anxious Tōsaka Tokiomi, his attitude at this moment was obviously much calmer.

……

——Bang bang bang! !

At the same time, on the other side, the war with swords and sabers continued.

As Scathach fought off Altria's attacks, she gradually became overwhelmed and thought that time was almost up, so she simply gave up on Kayneth beside her.

A two-on-one battle is indeed very restrictive, so it is better to deal with the opponent in front of you first.

As for those Assassins... there are more suitable people to deal with them.

If you calculate the time, she has delayed for almost enough time now. Since the Hero King has not appeared until now, it is very likely that he will not come.

So, the simple fun is over, and now it's our turn to launch a counterattack.

"Go ahead, Lemonhead, it's almost time to get started."

Before letting go, Scathach specifically reminded Kenneth as a signal for the start of the next battle.

"Lemonhead..."

Hearing this name, Kenneth couldn't help but frown, and was about to loudly refute and scold. But thinking of his current situation, Kenneth had no choice but to give up and focus on the subsequent battle.

"I understand. Now you deal with Saber, and I'll take care of the rest of the Assassins."

"Is that okay? I'll leave it to you then."

After a brief exchange, Scathach no longer held back in battle. Her slender figure stretched gently in the air, and then two dazzling scarlet lights suddenly pierced the night sky.

--boom! !

The moment the spear and sword collided, a force even more terrifying than before erupted.

"what?!"

This sudden and fierce attack made Artoria's eyes widen.

"A surprise? Actually, there's nothing surprising about it. It's just that the warm-up is over and I'm just about to get serious." Scathach smiled slightly, then said nonchalantly: "Are you ready now, Saber?"

--call out!!

Without giving Artoria any time to react or answer, Scathach suddenly flipped the magic spear in her palm.

Then, the shorter magic spear burst into a dazzling light, gradually illuminating her and Saber's faces, and then...

A dark red meteor shot up from the night sky, carrying Saber's figure dozens of meters backwards. Then she took a step forward without hesitation to catch up.

"This guy walks really fast..."

Seeing Scahana's figure coming and going like the wind, Kenneth couldn't help but sigh.

He had just finished speaking and was about to take action, but before he could say anything else, the other party had already impatiently moved the battlefield.

This made him feel a little emotional.

However, despite his feelings, it is now time for him to launch a counterattack.

Kenneth slowly stepped back, looking around at the increasing number of black shadows. His eyes became colder at this moment, and his drooping hands were quietly clenched into fists.
