"Cough!"
System Shirou uncontrollably knelt on the ground, vomiting a large mouthful of black blood.
Hidden beneath the armor, the exposed skin showed purplish-black lines.
'Poisoned? When?'
'Also, System! This armor of yours, doesn't it resist poison?'
———
"What's going on, Berserker, why did you suddenly…"
The reversal ca too suddenly, catching Rin so off guard she couldn't recall any detail she might've missed.
Red A clenched his fist, then relaxed, speaking calmly, "He's probably been poisoned."
"Poisoned?", Rin bit her nail, thinking, "Where did the poison co from, there wasn't even a gap, and…"
The next second, Rin widened her eyes again.
———
Thud!
Artoria also knelt on the ground, using her sword in one hand to support her body.
She too vomited a mouthful of dark blood.
"What is this?", She looked in disbelief at her trembling body, and those purplish-black veins quickly climbed up her beautiful face.
"Manaka, you…"
"Sorry, Saber," Sajyou Manaka, like a little girl who had done sothing wrong, pressed her palms together to apologize to Artoria, saying with grievance, "Because Caster's protection of Illya is too airtight, so after thinking it over, I could only make a move through you."
Sajyou Manaka innocently reached out, "Having Assassin poison you ahead of ti, I'm really sorry."
The hand only touched Artoria, there was no need to deliberately use magecraft at all.
The poison in Artoria's body was instantly dissolved, and the injuries Shirou caused were also completely healed.
That was a deadly poison that could even bring down the Red Dragon.
Yet in Sajyou Manaka's eyes, it was dismissed lightly.
Until now, Shirou hadn't noticed where Hassan of Serenity was hiding.
'When did she poison Artoria?'
Hassan of Serenity, the Assassin-class in Fragnts of Sky Silver. One of the many Hassan-i-Sabbah throughout history.
A legend of the Poison Girl. And beneath her beautiful girl's appearance, her body was truly immune to all poisons, and itself a compound of deadly toxins. No matter which part of her body, it carried venom strong enough to kill any living being.
Casually killing without a trace.
If one were to ntion her trait, it's likely her obsession would turn insane toward those immune to her poison.
Clearly, Sajyou Manaka had long since tad her.
"All done, Saber."
Sajyou Manaka softly spoke to Artoria, "It's okay if you stand up now, I've completely healed you."
The tone was so gentle it was almost unreasonable.
But… the upright King of Knights still hadn't recovered from the shock of being poisoned.
Sajyou Manaka didn't notice, or rather, noticed but didn't care.
Because she now had more important matters to attend to.
An absolutely beautiful smile appeared on her face as the girl skipped over in front of Shirou.
"Stay away from Berserker!", Illya scread angrily with a sharp voice.
The bullets fired by her familiars ca endlessly.
Sajyou Manaka didn't even move. Those bullets were completely blocked by Artoria, who stood up instinctively.
She didn't even need to use her sword, her powerful magic resistance allowed her to ignore such magecraft.
"Well done, Saber," Sajyou Manaka praised her own Hero like a little girl.
Artoria remained silent.
"Berserker!"
Scarlet magic circuits appeared, and Illya cried out anxiously, "Co back!"
"..."
"Why?"
Illya said in disbelief, "Why doesn't the Command Spell work!"
"Command Spell, huh."
Sajyou Manaka covered her mouth and chuckled, "In the end, it's just a way to control a Servant. So if my control is stronger than the Command Spell, isn't that enough?"
"What… did you say?", As if all strength was drained from her body, if no one held her, Illya might collapse instantly.
———
"Is this woman joking?", Not just Illya, even Rin felt a chill.
'Who can casually say sothing like that?'
'Being able to oppose a Command Spell?'
'Is that even sothing a Master can do?'
'Even if it's cheating, this is too absurd, right?'
———
"Berserker," Illya tried to rush forward but was stopped by dea.
"Master, I regret to inform you, we need to retreat."
"Don't be ridiculous…", She didn't finish the sentence before dea knocked her out with magecraft.
"That's right, quickly take the Einzbern girl and leave this place, Caster," Bazett's figure erged from the shadows.
Wearing gloves, standing tall, short rose-colored hair fluttering in the air, dressed in a black suit.
The reason dea did this was because Bazett had taken the initiative to communicate.
When she saw Berserker being taken, Bazett knew the situation was urgent, not a second to waste.
Also, her reason for joining the Holy Grail War wasn't just because that god recomnded her, but also to monitor Sajyou Manaka.
'This woman really is not normal.'
"Although I can't trust you guys, still," Now that things had progressed to this stage, dea couldn't hesitate.
However, looking at Shirou who didn't move at all, she couldn't help but feel so hesitation.
"Don't worry, you vixen," Cu Chulainn released his Spirit Form, his magic spear ready to attack at any mont.
"That Berserker guy saved my Master, after all. This ti, I'm repaying the favor."
"You think I'm talking about that, you dumb dog?", dea picked up Illya with annoyance, "I'm just worried that you won't be able to save Berserker and will waste the opportunity."
"Hmph~ stupid vixen," Dog-bro coldly snorted, "No matter what, it's better than how things are now."
"Then, run for it!"
Bazett flung the huge case off her back, tugged her suit collar, fully entering battle mode.
"This ti, it should be the real Saber."
Dog-bro grinned viciously, "Can't be unlucky enough to run into another fake Saber, right?"
"Lancer, huh?", Faced with a powerful enemy, Artoria had to set aside the misgivings she just developed and said, "Your luck will tell you this is where you're going to die."
"Then co try , Saber!"
"As you wish!"
"Saber," At the mont when the atmosphere burned hottest, Sajyou Manaka smiled inappropriately.
Her clear blue eyes dimd slightly, her graceful fingers softly traced her own chest.
"Just when I'm about to get Berserker, I can't wait a mont longer, so why… is there always soone coming to interfere?"
Sick!
That sudden psychotic smile made everyone's heart tremble.
The next second, the Command Spell activated.
"Saber, use your Noble Phantasm, and kill Berserker's Master!"
"Manaka, what are you saying?", Artoria's face changed dramatically.
The invisible sword in her hand was raised uncontrollably. Barrier of the Wind King was released. Brilliant and dazzling golden radiance burst forth.
"Damn it, don't do this, Manaka! I swore to you, to beco your sword, to bring you victory!"
"That's right," Sajyou Manaka seed puzzled at such an Artoria, "Since you're bringing victory, why are you resisting this Command Spell?"
She smiled, touching her lips with a finger, confused yet innocently said, "Clearly, I'm doing this for you, Saber."
"MANAKA!"
As Artoria's pupils gradually dilated, Sajyou Manaka rcilessly activated the second Command Spell, "Saber, use your Noble Phantasm at maximum power and kill them all."
"You think I don't exist, crazy woman?", Bazett sneered coldly, kicked up her case, "If it's a Noble Phantasm you want, I'll return it to you!"
A smooth, round, pure black stone appeared in Bazett's hand.
At this mont, Artoria's radiant sword raised high reached its peak.
Sajyou Manaka remained unhurried, her smile blooming, stunning as a rose.
"You underestimated , Lancer's Master."
Splat!
The beach was dyed red with fresh blood.
Bazett stared in disbelief at her fallen right hand.
Along with the Command Spells, her right hand had been instantly severed by a sharp blade.
By the ti Lancer's spear tip targeted Hassan of Serenity, it was already too late.
"SWORD OF PROMISED VICTORY (EXCALIBUR)!"
