Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

"Come on, you're welcome. If you want to drink together, get your own cup. This wine is with your blood."

Huh—a sound that penetrated the air answered Rider.

Only the handle of the spoon was left in Rider's hand, and the spoon had fallen to the ground.This was done by one of the Assassins, and the wine from the spoon was scattered on the floor of the atrium.

Ding - Assasin Gymnastics Team obtained the achievement 'Death'.

"..."

Rider silently looked down at the wine scattered on the ground.The skeleton masks laughed as if mocking him.

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

Rider's tone remained calm, but it was clear that the feeling had changed.The only people who noticed this change were the two who had been drinking with him before.

"I said, 'This wine' is 'your blood'—yes. Since you just spilled it on the ground, I'll..."

Before he finished speaking, a whirlwind roared.

The wind was hot and dry, as if to burn everything.It wasn't like the forest at night, or the wind that it should have in the courtyard of a castle -- it was literally from the desert, roaring in my ears.

Feeling sand in his mouth, Webb spit quickly.This is indeed sand.What was brought by the strange wind was really hot sand that could not have appeared before.

Saber also raised his head and stared at the treasure that once shocked him——Junchen Yixin, thus surpassing the miracle to achieve the 'inherent enchantment' that Rider could never achieve.

——The army of the king!

"It's actually—inherent enchantment?!" Webber and Irisviel exclaimed... This is a phenomenon that only those who know magic can understand.

The sun that scorches the earth, the sky is clear, until the horizon is blurred by sand.There are no obstructions anywhere in the field of vision.

Einzbern at night would change in an instant, and there was no doubt that it was just a phantom that eroded the real world.It can be said that this is the limit of magic that can be called a miracle.

"How is it possible... to be able to materialize the scene in your heart... You are obviously not a magician!?"

"Of course not, how can I do it alone."

Standing in the wide barrier, Iskandar proudly denied it with a smile.

"This is the land that our army once crossed. The warriors who shared weal and woe with me have this scene firmly imprinted in their hearts."

As the world changed, the five people who were originally surrounded also changed their positions.

The Assassins, who had formed a siege, were moved to one side alone, with Rider standing in the center.On the other side are Saber, Archer, Lancer and two magicians.In other words, Rider stood alone in front of the Assassins.

——Could it be that Rider will fight alone now?

Everyone stared at the mirage-like images that appeared around him.One, two, four, the images gradually increased, and it looked like an army.The color also became more intense.

"The world can be reproduced because it is imprinted on each of our hearts."

In the astonished eyes of everyone, physical cavalrymen appeared one after another around Iskandar.Although their races and equipment are different, looking at their strong bodies and brave knights, they all show the strength of the army.

Only one person has figured out what the bizarre scene is all about.

"These people... are all Servants..."

Since he was the only Master among the people present, he understood that the true trump card of the Servant Heroic Spirit Iskandar, the true body of the ultimate Noble Phantasm, was appearing in front of his eyes.

"Look, my unparalleled army!"

Filled with pride and pride, the King of Conqueror stood in front of the cavalry line and raised his arms high and shouted.

"Even if their bodies are destroyed, their heroic spirits are still summoned. They are my loyal warriors in the legend. The eternal friends who traveled through time and space responded to my call.

They are my treasures!It's my king's way!Iskanal's strongest Noble Phantasm - 'The King's Army'! ! "

Facing such a majestic scene, Saber could only sit cross-legged on the desert, with golden bangs covering his eyes.

This feeling is... envy.

Chapter [-] Fear Strikes

Just when Rider showed the inherent barrier, on the rooftop of Einzbern, Emiya Kiritsugu received a notification from his assistant, Maiya Kuu.

"The trap in the corridor was removed. It should be Lancer's Master who did it."

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu set up his sniper rifle and searched for Rope in the courtyard.

Sure enough not.

"Really, it seems that the other party wants to kill us... But how does he know that I am Saber's Master?"

"Magic perception? Or intuition."

Emiya Kiritsugu put away the jet-black long-handled sniper rifle, took out a cigarette from his side pocket and lit it.

"No, it's not that simple. He seems to know Assassin's attack time and Rider's hole cards, so he can calculate the time difference to attack us, which means he has a certain confidence that he can kill us without Lancer."

I'm in trouble.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know anything about 'Rope', not even the magic he used.But from the current situation, the other party obviously knows his intelligence.

Information is unilaterally transparent.

Saber is in the inherent enchantment, and it is impossible to notify by ordinary methods, unless you use a command spell to summon——

However, he only had one Command Spell left, and if he used it now, maybe Saber would turn around and slash him to death.
