People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Lowe did not accept Scathach's praise.

After all, he knew his own strength. He was just a magician with some talent. How could he have the power she described?

And who is King Solomon, the Magic King?

The true Grand Heroic Spirit [Caster], the Israeli boxing king, is unbeatable with his Jacob-like iron fist. Not only does he have 72 demon guardians, each of whom is a top-level Heroic Spirit, and his Noble Phantasm, the Grand Temple of Time, is even more heavyweight.

Even the Demon King Goetia, who could activate the Incineration of Humanity, was merely a being born from Solomon's corpse, inheriting his legacy. This meant that if Solomon wanted to, he could also activate the Incineration of Humanity.

Comparing himself with this person, not to mention King Solomon's thoughts, Luo Wei himself felt that he was not comparable at all.

"Is this so..."

Seeing Rowe's refusal, Scathach smiled slightly and did not continue speaking. Her crimson eyes were slightly smiling at this moment, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking.

During the time when the two were talking, the castle gate that originally blocked the way forward was finally completely cut open by the sharp wind blade, opening up a path forward in front of them.

They didn't hesitate and stepped straight in.

……

This place is several hundred meters away from the interior of the castle.

A courtyard away, on the other side, the first thing that caught the eyes of the two was a dashing figure with blonde hair and blue eyes. At this moment, she was standing in the middle of the courtyard, holding a sword, as if she had been waiting here for a long time and appeared directly.

——The Heroic Spirit of the Sword, Servant Saber, whose real name is King Arthur, Altria Pendragon.

Just as Luo Wei expected, she was the gatekeeper tonight, but...

Although Saber has appeared, her master is nowhere to be seen at this moment. It is obvious that he has evacuated here long ago.

"See, just as expected, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely put his own rider, Saber, on the chessboard in order to accelerate the completion of the Holy Grail."

Seeing that Artoria was defending the line here alone, with no one around, let alone her master, Emiya Kiritsugu, there was not even a single person in sight, this undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess.

Then, Luo Wei turned his head to look at Scathach beside him, and explained the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu did this.

"Because if we do this, regardless of whether Altria is dead or alive, the soul of a Servant will be sacrificed here, which means that one Servant will definitely die on the battlefield here."

"So, that guy really doesn't regard Saber as a human being at all? He just left her here to fight alone, waiting to be sacrificed. Wouldn't this kind of action really chill King Arthur? If my Master dared to betray me like this, I would definitely use my magic spear to poke a few holes in his body without hesitation."

As she spoke, Scathach clenched her fist and pretended to use a magic spear to poke at Rowe's waist, scaring him so much that he begged for mercy.

"Please spare me, please spare me, my Queen. I have always been loyal and have never betrayed you. My loyalty is evident to all, okay?"

"Pfft..."

Seeing Rowe's exaggerated acting skills, even the indifferent Scathach couldn't help laughing. She had never expected that her always serious master would have such a side to her.

Isn't this quite lively? Why is it always so prudish?

"Alright, stop showing off. Can't you see Saber's face is about to turn black?"

"I see. I thought this would amuse you and ease the tension before the battle."

"Although I'm touched by your humor, I prefer your heroic actions and miracles to your jokes. Now that King Arthur has appeared, we should proceed as planned."

As Scathach spoke, she raised her finger to reconfirm the original rune painted on Rowe's body. She stretched out her palm and gently stroked his face, then smiled and said, "Master, go with peace of mind. Even if you die, I will definitely avenge you and take your soul to the Shadow Kingdom. When the time comes, I will also love (train) you well in my own way."

"Please don't base your premise on the assumption that I'm going to die. Although I really want to see the legendary other side, the Land of Shadows, with my own eyes, I'd rather fulfill my current wish and reach a place I long for even more."

Luo Wei shook his head slightly, then stretched out his right hand and grabbed a strangely shaped white staff from mid-air, then walked forward calmly.

"Ok?"

At this moment, standing in front, Artoria felt a little uncomfortable because she saw the other masters and servants loving each other and even trusting each other, and then thought about her own situation. When she saw that the person who took the initiative to step forward was Rowe, not Scathach, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She looked at Rowe, who was ready to fight her, with a look of great surprise. She did not attack him directly. Instead, she looked at Scathach, who had sat down not far away and was ready to watch the show, with a look of surprise, and asked, "Queen Scathach, what does this mean?"

"What does this mean... Well, that's a good question. But you shouldn't ask me, because I'm looking for the answer right now."

Hearing Altria's question, Scathach shrugged helplessly, then said,

"To sum it up, my Master wants to fight you for some reason, so he told me not to interfere. It's that simple~"

“It’s just nonsense!!”

Hearing this, Artoria's eyes were suddenly filled with anger.

"Are you kidding me, Queen Scathach?"

Not paying any attention to Rowe who walked up to her and was ready to fight, Artoria still kept her eyes on Scathach and asked angrily.

In her opinion, Scathach's behavior of letting her Master rush up to fight with her was simply nonsense. Altria could not understand the other party's thoughts and had no intention of fighting with Rowe at all.

What she wanted was to fight a hero like Scathach, not to bully a magician like Rowe as a heroic spirit.

"Scathach..."

Artoria stared at the purple figure sitting on the steps watching, then released the magic power around her body, took a leap forward and wanted to rush directly towards the other party, but... Luo Wei stretched out his hand to block her way.

"Where are you going? King Arthur, haven't we made it clear? Your next opponent is not Scathach, but me."

Luo Wei looked at Altria and said lightly.

"And compared to Scathach, who you already lost to once and was nearly killed, it would undoubtedly be easier if your opponent was me, right?"

"you!!"

Being stopped by Rowe and looked down upon, Artoria was immediately annoyed, but she also didn't want to get too entangled with a master. She accelerated her body's magic power again, trying to get rid of Rowe and rush towards Scathach, but she was surprised to find that Rowe in front of her could actually keep up with her speed.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

"I don't have any purpose, I just want to have a good chat with you."

"I have nothing to talk to you about. Get out of the way, or I will..."

Feeling the terrifying magic power that was bursting out towards him, Luo Wei just smiled and looked at Altria with fearless eyes.

"What else are you going to do? Are you going to kill me first? That's perfect. I won't let you go until you defeat me."

"After all, someone asked me to take good care of you... and now the request hasn't been completed yet, I can't let you mess things up."

"Then I'll have to defeat you first!"

Having been angered by Rowe time and time again, Artoria was no longer polite. She held the Wind King tightly with both hands and swung the hammer fiercely.

Faced with this powerful and terrifying sword swung by King Arthur, Rowe naturally did not dare to hesitate. He raised his hand and directly pulled out a standard holy sword prepared for him by Merlin from his wand to block it.

Clang——! !

The moment the two holy swords of similar shape suddenly collided, powerful magic power erupted, and Luo Wei's body was shaken back several steps in the collision. The mass-produced holy sword in his hand was instantly covered with cracks because it was too different from the one used by Altria.

A D-rank Noble Phantasm was destroyed directly by Altria, which shows how powerful King Arthur is.

"Ah, ah, that's truly terrifying force. However, you actually showed some mercy just now, didn't you? The force you used was only intended to paralyze me and make me unable to stop you, not actually kill me."

"What happened to you?"

Seeing that Rowe actually blocked her attack, Altria's eyes were filled with fear.

"With this kind of power and magic, are you really still human?"

In an instant, Altria's fighting attitude became serious. She began to be on high alert and no longer slack off. She seemed to have treated Rowe as a Servant-level enemy, and her aura began to rise steadily.

"Of course I am still a human being, a true human being, but I am a little bit special compared to other humans."

"..."

Faced with Rowe's nonsense, Artoria naturally did not believe a word she said. She just stared at him with a serious expression, and the fear in her eyes did not diminish at all.

"Don't you want to continue chatting? Never mind, let's get straight to the point. King Arthur, someone asked me to bring you a few words."

As Luo Wei spoke, he also began to gather his magic power. However, this time he did not directly summon his angel. Instead, he gradually condensed the shadow of a sword from his other hand, and finally held it in his hand, and then slightly ripples appeared in the air.

"Do you recognize this sword, King Arthur?"

He asked out loud.

When she saw the familiar outline of the sword blade, Artoria's eyes widened and she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"This sword is..."

The Sword of the Chosen King, the Golden Sword, the Sword in the Stone, the sword she had drawn in her earliest days, the sword that carried all her initial wishes and aspirations...

"The Sword in the Stone? Wasn't this sword broken a long time ago? How did it appear here?!"

"Just because it's broken doesn't mean it's gone. If it's broken, just fix it. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Confused Knight King, I wonder if you now feel differently when facing this first sword that carries all the wishes and expectations?"

Luo Wei said this, and Artoria, who was standing opposite him, just lowered her head and did not answer, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

Witnessing this scene, Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"So you haven't come out yet? You're such a blockhead! It seems like simple preaching won't have much effect on you. So, shall we communicate as knights? Let's talk with our swords!!"

After the words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

The cold wind blows and the moon is bright in the sky.

The cold moonlight fell on Luo Wei's body, and the corners of his windbreaker began to sway slightly in the night breeze. The moment the magic wand and holy sword condensed in his hands, huge magic power accompanied by terrifying momentum began to focus on him, and then suddenly rippled around his body, splashing countless water.

Beneath the dazzling magical light, what followed was the piercing and clanging sound of the unsheathed holy sword piercing the night sky.

The collision between magic power and fighting spirit almost completely erupted in that short moment.

Almost at the same time.

……

In the suburbs north of Fuyuki City, it was also only a few hundred meters away.

Iskandar, Weber, Finn, Kenneth, Zouken Matou, and Lancelot, three groups encountered Gilgamesh standing on the street lamp.

"Oh, long time no see, Archer."

Iskandar greeted Gilgamesh, who appeared directly in front of him.

"Humph……"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly and said nothing.

Finn didn't say anything either, just bit his fingers.

“——Arrrrrrrr!!”

Lancelot's mood at this moment became much more excited than before.

"Do you want to start fighting?"

Matou Zouken asked.

"Ah, now?"

Weber shrank back and looked left and right. Being at such a close distance, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Lancer?"

Compared to Waver and Zouken Matou, who were in completely different moods, Kenneth thought for a moment and then asked Finn.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you really not even going to say hello? You really want to start a fight as soon as you meet. This kind of unromantic behavior will easily make people dislike you."

Seemingly unaware of the increasingly tense atmosphere around him, Iskandar rubbed his head in distress and asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't we make some announcements before the battle in this situation?"

'You mean the trash talking?'

However, in response to his complaints, he was only met with caring looks from everyone present, and then all the masters unexpectedly blurted out two words at the same time.

"……idiot."

Iskandar: “???”
