In the forest.

Rin Tosaka and Shirou Emiya are moving forward steadily.

The barrier originally set up here was probably because no one presided over it, and it disappeared at some point and did not cause any trouble for them, so the two of them moved forward very quickly.

King Arthur, who was in the Heroic Spirit Guardian and Lancer rank, chose to be spiritual and followed the two of them.

The young and young girls looked tense and walked towards the castle without saying a word.

Although there were various other situations, the concerns about Sakura's condition at this moment overwhelmed other emotions in their hearts, making their hearts heavy.

Rider only told them that they could go to Einzberen Castle to retrieve Sakura in an hour, but did not say what kind of enemies there would be.

But Rin Tosaka is very smart.

She conjectured from the fact that Riora chose to keep Lancer for help instead of letting the two of them go over by themselves, "Rider must know that if she wants to find Sakura, she must have a fierce battle."

Just when the two were worried, the tall castle in the distance was quickly imprinted into their sight.

They wanted to sneak in from the rear of the castle and rescue Ying first, but the huge vision at the entrance of the castle made the two stop.

“…What is that?”

Rin Tosaka only felt her voice trembling.

At the entrance of the castle, there is a sea of ​​curses filled with thick and ominous curses, covering the surroundings of the castle like a sea of ​​dark matter like mud, which is deterrent.

It is a real ocean, all composed of formed curses. That amount of curse, let alone ordinary people, even a great magician will be cursed by it.

Considering that it was a curse flowing out from the Great Holy Grail, if the servants encountered a little, they would probably face the risk of being contaminated.

"In this case, there is no way to go to the castle!"

Tosaka Rin looked at the sea of ​​curses in front of her and gritted her teeth.

"Archer, Lancer! Is there any way for you two to get us into the castle?"

The dark sea of ​​curses surrounded the castle without leaving any gaps. Even the inside of the castle seemed to be stained with black mud-like substances, and there was no place to settle down.

"My East Starryn can fly into the sky and should be able to cross that Black Sea."

Lancer appeared beside the two of them, looked at the Black Sea in the distance, and thought, "But I'm afraid you'll need to travel twice before you can send you all in."

If there are any enemies inside, it would be bad if the troops were divided into two groups.

"If that's the case, let me do it."

Archer also appeared on the side, looking at the wide sea of ​​black mud in the distance, and walked forward.

Under the surprise gaze of the other three, he estimated the distance between the two sides and then closed his eyes silently.

“—Trace   on(projection starts)!”

With the spell sing, several pieces of sword rain suddenly fell from the sky in front of him, and huge nails were punched one after another on the sea of ​​black mud.

"Boom!"

Then, a giant sword at least dozens of meters long and shaped like a double-edged broad sword slashing horse suddenly fell from the sky and set it on these nails, forming a long sword-shaped bridge.

One end of the bridge was at the feet of everyone, and the other end fell on the wall of the castle opposite with a rumbling sound, perfectly avoiding the black mud ocean below.

"It really surprised me, Archer, do you have this trick?"

Tosaka Rin couldn't help but cover her wide open mouth, and the look of looking at Archer was full of admiration.

"I hope you don't underestimate me too much, Rin."

Upon hearing this, Archer couldn't help but show a helpless look, "I was not bad at all, but this Holy Grail War really showed up too many unexpected characters..."

That's right, it was really unexpected, it was so different from the one he experienced in his lifetime that he almost couldn't recognize this place.

"Is that giant sword the magical weapon that is commonly known as the [Shank Sword] in Sumer's mythology?"

Even Lancer couldn't help but cast a surprised look at him, which obviously refreshed his understanding of him.

"Don't be too proud of me, I can't do the same to reproduce that treasure."

Archer shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "That's just something that's pretty good. Although it can't be seen on the outside, it's actually empty inside, but it still has quality. It's just a flash of inspiration when using it. Okay, let's go!"

Shiro Emiya looked at the huge divine sword not far away, and his eyes became a little dazed.

For some reason, he felt that he could understand the structure of the sword... was it his illusion?

The few people didn't stay here for long, and soon stepped onto the Cambridge made by Archer and rushed towards the castle.

However, as several people stepped onto the Cambridge, a figure seemed to come over at the other end of the bridge.

"So that's it. I didn't expect that there would be such an unprecedented invasion method, which is admirable."

It was a figure covered in a worn black cloak, wearing a mask of bones on his face, and holding several small knives as weapons in his hand.

"But the path made by this method is too loud and anyone can notice it!"

As the sound came, several silver knifes passed through the cold light in the air, attacking towards Rin Tosaka and Shiro Emiya respectively.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The moment he appeared, Archer and Lancer noticed his attacks respectively, quickly blocked the two of them, raised their weapons, and knocked the attacking knife out.

"That's...?"

Tosaka Rin's eyes fell on the other party immediately and activated the privilege of the emperor.

“Assassin’s servant?”

Tosaka Rin was shocked, "Wait a minute, the number of servants is completely incompatible! Could it be that the servants left behind last time?"

"No, that's probably the real Assassin."

Lancer thoughtfully when he heard this.

"Theoretically, although there are seven followers summoned this time, the basil monster Gorgon summoned by the girl Sakura Maki, according to Rider, is actually a follower of the Avenger rank, which means that the real Assassin has never appeared!"

The sword level King Arthur, the bow level Heroes Palace, the gun level King Arthur, the riding level is disguised by Liuxia, the magic level is Solomon, and the mad level is Hercules.

The last rider was the Avenger Gorgon. In other words, the killing rank has never appeared.
