Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

About thirty kilometers west of Fuyuki City, there is a winding national highway.

Driving west along the long national highway, we arrived at an undeveloped forest.

This is a primeval forest shrouded in thick fog all year round.

Perhaps because of the large number of trees and the fact that the forest is located in a hilly area, this primeval forest is often foggy.

And deep in this forest, there is a legend that is almost like a ghost story.

Legend has it that there is a magnificent castle deep in the fog, which is very gorgeous.

It stands in the mist, and it is said that only a very few lucky people can see it.

Of course, to the locals of Fuyuki City, this legend is nothing more than a boring weird story.

After all, this place is only an hour away from the city of Fuyuki. If there really is a strange castle deep in this forest, many people will know about it.

In fact, some people were interested in its legend, but after many explorations in the forest, no traces of man-made buildings were found, so no one believed that this strange story was true.

But only a very small number of magicians know that there is indeed a castle in this primeval forest.

It was a base built by the Einzbern Family using their financial resources in the spiritual vein closest to Fuyuki City. It was a magic city built by the Einzbern Family in order to participate in the Holy Grail War held every sixty years.

So the magicians called the forest Einzbern Forest and the castle Einzbern Castle.

The castle's periphery is shrouded in multiple layers of illusions and magic barriers, and except for extremely rare circumstances, it is basically isolated from the outside world.

As night falls, the temperature in the air begins to drop. Under the influence of the magic barrier and the natural environment, the water vapor in the air reaches the saturation point. The excess water vapor condenses in the air, and thick fog always shrouds the entire forest.

A dozen birds were circling above the forest, monitoring this pristine forest.

The thick fog affects the birds' vision, but it does not affect the ultra-small cameras hidden on the birds.

Although the Einzbern castle could not be found in the barrier through the thermal imaging mode, the uninvited guest who broke into the forest, Kenneth El-Melloi, was easily discovered.

For Kenneth, last night was humiliating.

The first-class lecturer of the Clock Tower Spirit Department, the head of the Archibald family, and the monarch of the Mineral Department, was attacked by a bomb in the base he prepared, causing many magic devices brought from the UK to be damaged due to the collapse of the hotel.

If the others in the clock tower knew about this, the monarch would definitely laugh his head off.

If he hadn't carried his strongest trump card "gift suit" with him all the time, and hadn't changed the state of the moon marrow fluid the moment he heard the explosion and realized something was wrong to protect himself and Sora, he and his fiancée might have been seriously injured in the explosion.

Having lost the Hyatt Hotel as his base, Kenneth could only choose an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Fuyuki City as a temporary base during the day. He temporarily placed his fiancée Sora there, and brought Lancer with him to "revenge."

Although any strategy is allowed in war, using a bomb to destroy the Hyatt Hotel undoubtedly made him extremely angry.

The person behind the scenes who caused Sora, his beloved fiancée, to have to live in an abandoned factory and hide in a dusty and unclean place deserves to die.

In Kenneth's opinion, based on the current information, Einzbern's son-in-law, Emiya Kiritsugu, is the most likely suspect.

Although he is not Saber's master, he is a first-rate magician who married into the Einzbern family. According to information, he often uses technological creations to kill magicians, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Therefore, using a bomb to blow up the Hyatt Hotel is very consistent with Kiritsugu Emiya's character.

With boiling fighting spirit, Kenneth moved forward into the depths of the forest.

Although the outer perimeter of Einzbern Castle was covered by numerous barriers, Kenneth's knowledge of magic and genius intuition were enough for him to accurately infer the location of the barrier's center and locate Einzbern Castle in the forest.

As Kenneth continued to move forward, the trees that blocked his view suddenly disappeared, and a magnificent stone city appeared before Kenneth.

"Yes, after we get rid of the Einzbern, we can use this castle as our new base. That will surely make Sora happy. After all, how can a noble young lady live in such a shabby environment? Even living there for a day would be an insult to her."

Having her fiancée Sora forced to work in an abandoned factory had already made her feel extremely bad.

Moreover, his self-esteem could not tolerate letting his beloved fiancée hide in such an environment.

When I was looking through the information about the Master in this Holy Grail War during the day, I learned that there was an Einzbern family castle west of Fuyuki City, so I decided to quickly pass through the Einzbern family castle tonight.

So even if the mastermind last night was not Emiya Kiritsugu, he would still visit the Einzbern family today, just to get his beloved fiancée out of the abandoned factory environment.

Besides, the tendon of Saber's left hand was severed by Lancer and could not heal due to the curse. She could not fully exert her strength. This was a good time to press on and seize the opportunity.

However, if we decide to use Einzbern Castle as a base, we must minimize the damage to the building as much as possible.

"Lancer, don't let me down this time."

"Yes, Master, I promise to bring you victory this time."

Following Kayneth's order, Lancer Diarmuid released his spirit form and appeared in front of Kayneth with two guns in hand.

A one-on-one duel with Saber was exactly what he wanted. Winning for his monarch and serving his monarch was the meaning of his participation in the Holy Grail War this time.

Under Kenneth's command, Lancer rushed into the castle gate with two guns in hand and slashed hard.

The heavy door was split into two as if tofu was being cut, and it fell inward with a heavy sound.

Kenneth stared at the collapsed gate of Einzbern Castle and put the porcelain bottle he was holding under his arm on the ground.

"Boil, my blood."

As Kenneth chanted a spell to activate the magic, the contents of the bottle began to flow out from the mouth of the bottle.

The mercury-like metallic liquid, with a capacity of about ten liters, flowed out of the bottle like a self-regulating protozoan, trembling and forming a sphere.

This is Kenneth's proud ace gift - Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

"Automatically defend, automatically search for enemies, and automatically attack."

As Kenneth continued to chant in a low voice, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid also vibrated on the ground with a rustling sound.

After confirming that the three major functions of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid had been activated, Kenneth walked confidently into the Einzbern Castle.

Lancer followed closely behind, and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid activated the automatic following function, automatically following Kenneth into the interior of the castle.
