Two-dimensional Light Control

In front of Saber, Irisviel displayed the image of the intruder captured by the barrier on the crystal ball.

The intruder was wearing a dark robe, and an unlucky evil spirit swayed on his clothes.There are also red-stained patterns on the clothes, which are like blood-stained patterns, looming in the jungle.

"It's actually Caster!!!"

Saber frowned, the figure reflected on the crystal ball was the strange heroic spirit who blocked Saber and her that night.

"But what is he going to do?"

To Irisviel's confusion, there was a group of people behind Caster.

Caster didn't act alone this time.There were about a dozen people behind him.Take a walk in the forest.These people are all underage children "[-]".Among them, the oldest child is only a primary school student.All the children seemed to be sleepwalking, walking staggeringly, and Caster walked in front and led them forward.There is no doubt that the children are under the control of Caster's magic.

Caster must have seen the supervisor's announcement.The children were taken hostage from around Fuyuki City.

"Alice. Where is that guy's location?"

"To the northwest of the castle, less than two kilometers away. Caster doesn't seem to want to go further into the forest."

A barrier opened in the forest.It is a circle with a diameter of five kilometers formed around the castle. Where Caster is located is at the border of this enchantment.

If Caster goes one step deeper into the barrier.Alice Viel can assist Saber in the battle.But Caster seemed to have seen through Alice's motives, and began to wander around the periphery of the barrier.

"Irisviel, the enemy is luring us out."

Saber said with a firm tone.If she relied on her leg strength as a Servant.It only takes a few minutes to get to where Caster is. The thoughts in Saber's heart were also conveyed to Irisviel. Saber was extremely anxious at this moment, and wanted to go out and beat Caster hard.

But the King of Knights cannot act arbitrarily. The group of children gathered behind Caster???it was the source of the King of Knights' uneasiness.

"It's a hostage... maybe. It must be."

Irisviel said in a melancholy low voice. Saber nodded.

"If the traps and traps set up are activated, those children will be implicated. Only by me directly dispatching and defeating Caster can those children be rescued."

The current situation is self-evident, but Irisviel also has reasons for hesitation. Saber's injury is very unfavorable, and confronting Caster makes people feel a little uneasy.Irisviel intuitively judged that Caster was a formidable enemy.Alice was unable to assist Saber at the outer edge of the barrier.Letting Saber fight alone under such circumstances...

At this moment, Caster's beast-like eyes suddenly looked up.Could it be that he has seen through Irisviel's "clairvoyance"! ?

Caster stared at the direction where Irisviel was, and raised his arms extremely courteously to bow to Irisviel.What kind of child's play is this for a Heroic Spirit who is a magus.

"As agreed that night, I have come to visit you."

The surface of the hard crystal ball began to shake, and the sound came from the surveillance location.

"Now please give me an order. Let me see the beautiful saint again."

Saber stared at Irisviel, urging her to give an order quickly.The girl who is a Servant is ready to fight.It's just that her master is still hesitating.

Caster seemed to have seen through Irisviel's mind, showing a look of contempt, as if performing a one-man show, sneered and continued:

"...Ah. It seems that I still can't make up my mind... I also plan to wait for a long time, so you should prepare slowly. Oh, it's such a boring game??????Can I borrow from you guys? What about the corner of the territory?"

Caster snapped his fingers.The children who had been obediently following Caster just now opened their eyes as if they had woken up from a dream.The children looked around helplessly, as if unable to figure out where they were.

"Listen, boys, we're playing hide-and-seek. The rules are simple. Just run away from me. If you get caught by me???"

Caster swished out his hand from the sleeve of his cassock.caught a child next to him

"stop!"

Saber knew that her restraint had no effect, but she couldn't help but scream.

The sound of skulls shattering.Brains splashing around and eyeballs falling in the air.Those nightmarish scenes were imprinted in everyone's mind.

The children let out a heart-wrenching cry and began to flee.Caster, who was standing in the center, laughed happily, licking his blood-filled fingers with his tongue.

"Run away. I'll start chasing after you when I count to a hundred. So, Joan, how long are you going to prepare before I catch all the children?"

Seeing this situation, Irisviel no longer hesitated.It was impossible to hesitate any longer.She is also the mother of a child.The child who was killed and then abandoned, his petite and pitiful body was just as big as his own daughter Elia.

"Saber, defeat Caster for me."

"As ordered."

The Knight King's answer was unusually brief.When Irisviel heard Saber's answer, she had already disappeared in the conference room.It's just that the gust of wind blowing behind her was full of unusual anger.

???490?????? Saber???Caster(???)

Ding Ding Ding! ! !

The phone rang suddenly, and Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help frowning.

He is now really following the trail of the local heroic spirit, but this call interrupted his rhythm.

Quickly dodged away, without letting others find out, came to a hidden place, and took out his phone.

Seeing the calling address above, his expression changed.

It's Irisviel!

Although Irisviel's change of heart was hard for him to accept, he still loved her deeply.

Especially Irisviel's artificial human created for the Holy Grail War. Under such circumstances, even though she was disappointed with her change of heart, Emiya Kiritsugu never blamed her.

Under normal circumstances, she would not take the initiative to contact herself.

Emiya Kiritsugu recalled the experience of the past year.

In other words, the castle of the current Einzbern Forest has been invaded! ! !

How could he accept such a situation?

Apart from not wanting Irisviel to be harmed, once the castle of the real Einzbern Forest is invaded and Saber is defeated, how can he fulfill his wish? !

Such a situation is simply not what he is willing to accept!

He quickly answered the phone, but after hearing Irisviel's words, his face became even more ugly.

Hang up.

"what happened?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's female assistant Maiya immediately asked, when Emiya Kiritsugu went to answer the phone, she came near him.

So after seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's face change, he immediately asked with concern.

"Let's go back quickly, someone has invaded the castle of Einzbern Forest."

Emiya Kiritsugu said with a very serious face.

And Maiya's expression also changed, she didn't expect that someone would invade there.

"who is it?"

"Caster!!!"

Saber turned into a gust of wind and flew through the jungle.

Saber has long since had no time to take care of the dispute with Kiritsugu.Once on the battlefield, her heart becomes a sword.A sword sharpened to a gleaming shine.It was a sharp sword without the slightest confusion.

Saber herself knew very well that she was running towards Caster's magic formation.The blood in her body was churning, and the evil deeds committed by that demon made Saber furious.However, what drove Saber forward at this moment was not excitement.Mere anger and hatred will not turn Saber's heart into a sharp sword.

The children who were killed.Saber had never seen these sights before.As long as you are on the battlefield.No matter how hard it is to bear it, you will still see those young skeletons.This is already a common situation for her who was once King Arthur.

The so-called human beings, as long as they stand on the edge of life and death, will become extremely ugly, despicable and tyrannical.Humans are two-legged beasts who rape women, murder young children, and prey on the hungry.Nine times out of ten, a blood-soaked battlefield is infested with demons.

But because of this, even if human beings are deep in hell, they have to "prove" themselves.Prove that no matter what kind of adversity it is in, human beings can survive nobly.There needs to be someone who can prove this in person.

The one who can attest to this is the knight, the shining star on the battlefield.

The knight must be righteous and awe-inspiring, illuminating the entire battlefield.Let those souls who are about to degenerate into evil spirits regain their sense of honor and pride, and become upright human beings again.Putting aside the anger, sorrow and pain of ego, and focusing on the bigger picture, this is the responsibility of being a knight.

Therefore, Saber must defeat Caster.This is not driven by anger but her responsibility.

Saber had to admit that such a move lacked careful consideration.It is also helpless to be accused of acting rashly.But Saber is definitely not a foolhardy person.Although she expected Caster to be a difficult opponent, she didn't feel desperate, because she didn't have a slight chance of winning.If you fight to the death, you must be the one who laughs last - this is Saber's intuition.

Must defeat Caster.Unlike Kiritsugu, Saber had a reason to defeat Caster with her own hands.Even if you will be seriously injured and your vitality will be severely damaged, you must surrender that demon with your own hands.This is the responsibility of being the King of Knights, an inescapable obligation.A demon who tarnishes the meaning of war, a scum who insults human dignity, Saber will never let this guy go.

The smell of blood intensified.The mud that wrapped around the armor stopped Saber's footsteps.

On the dusty ground behind Saber723, the flying dust was soaked with sufficient moisture.The moisture was not caused by rain, but red blood.

It was a disgusting stench.Surrounded by a sea of ??????blood. What kind of cruel killing did Caster carry out to make such an unbearable scene appear? When Saber thought of this, she felt extremely painful in her heart.

And those who were killed were all young and lovely children. Saber remembered the children who had seen in the crystal ball screaming out of fear.This is just what happened.It happened just a few minutes ago, before Saber flew into the forest.

At that time, I was still a living child.Now it has turned into scattered bones. "You are finally here. Joan. I have been waiting for a long time."

Caster greeted the immobile silver-white figure with a hearty smile. Caster had a smug smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the grand "banquet" he held. Caster stood in the middle of the sea of ??????blood, his dark vestment covered in the blood of the hostages.It made his smile even more terrifying.

???490?????? Saber???Caster(???)??????

"Seeing this tragic situation, how do you feel? You are heartbroken? Can you imagine the pain those innocent and lovely children endured in the end?

But Joan of Arc, this is not a real tragedy.After I lost you, in order to meet you again???"

Saber had nothing to say, nor the heart to listen to Caster's tirade.She wanted to split Caster into two pieces with one sword, and without a moment's hesitation, she took a step towards Caster.

Caster also sensed the killing intent from Saber's moving footsteps, stopped speaking, and suddenly threw his hands from the corners of the robe.

Something that had been hidden in Caster's arms made Saber stop again.

It was a child - the only surviving hostage.Caught in Caster's forearm, still crying softly. Caster kept him alive in order to use him as a shield to fight Saber, right?

"???O Joan of Arc, your angry eyes are so moving."

Caster took it easy and smiled slightly at Saber.

"Do you hate me that much? Yes, you should hate me. I betrayed God's love and you will never forgive me. You are more pious to God than anyone else."

"Let go of that kid."

Saber commanded Caster's tone as cold as a sword.

"This battle for the Holy Grail is to select the Heroic Spirit who is most worthy of the Holy Grail. If you use tactics that taint Heroic Spirits, you will be discarded by the Holy Grail."

"Since you have been resurrected again, the Holy Grail is useless to me... Joan of Arc. If you really want to save this child's life."

Caster couldn't help laughing, then let go of his hand slightly in disappointment and put the child on the ground.
