13 Intervention!

Chapter 13. Intervention!

"Sakura, do you really understand?"

"Of course I know that, which is why I need to do it even more."

When Kariya pressed her for answers, Sakura shook her head dismissively.

"Berserker is no ordinary Servant. He looks very strong. Once the battle starts, you won't have enough magical power to support him."

On the other hand, Kariya squatted down and anxiously explained.

"It's fine."

"Berserker is the strongest. Even without my magic, he would still be able to win."

With such confidence, Matou Sakura had no worries.

In Kariya's eyes, this was nothing short of blind trust.

But for Matou Sakura, that wasn't childish ignorance.

She knew it.

Berserker possesses unique, inherent abilities.

Disengagement reply

Berserkers who are not in combat will automatically recover from injuries and restore their magic power.

Even if they suffer serious injuries, they can fully recover to their peak condition in less than ten seconds after leaving the battle.

This is why Matou Sakura, a child, was not drained of her power as a Master.

Berserker's magic is constantly replenished, so she doesn't need to use it at all.

Even in battle, Berserkers possess immense "backbone" to support their actions.

The downside might be that it has less endurance during battle and cannot continuously unleash large-scale Noble Phantasms.

But that's alright, you'll recover in a few seconds once you're out of combat.

As the Master, Sakura only needs to ensure her own safety.

This is also the source of her confidence.

...............

"Bang!!"

"Tch, didn't it work?"

Dodging an attack, the castle serenaded Lancer as he watched him return and whispered to himself.

I originally used that magic card hoping to try my luck, but it seems I didn't succeed.

"Hey, I won't let you get away with this so easily again!"

Sakura Kyoko looked at the castle dwelling behind the bunker, and then used her "magic".

Rossa Phantasma (Red Ghost)!

The figures split in the air, and within the city's view, the other side appeared to have many more people.

"A clone?!"

Seeing the large number of individuals, Jonouchi panicked. He glanced at the three remaining face-down cards on the duel board, then turned and ran.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"Driven seven of my clones to give chase," Sakura Kyoko shouted.

After Caster lost control, she turned her gun around and ran back.

Although the magic array sealing her body was still in place, it didn't stop her from using other methods to defeat that guy.

"Damn it, the control magic was supposed to be dispelled quickly, so why is this magic circle still active?"

She was having a terrible headache because, because of this magic circle, she couldn't even wield her spear in battle.

It was like sealing her hands; the restrictions were too great.

This is why she was so determined to pursue Caster.

We can't just run away while facing the magic circle and then not know when it will be removed, can we?

If we encounter other Servants, wouldn't we be doomed?

So no matter what, Caster has to be "arrested".

...............

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

The broken sword was parried, and his arm was stabbed. Kenshin then picked up his scabbard and smashed it against Saber's shoulder.

"Tsk"

With a cry of pain, Saber was forced to create some distance. Looking at her opponent, she couldn't help but admire his superb combat awareness.

"Even with the knife broken, he was able to launch such a brilliant counterattack."

"That fierce swordsmanship."

"You must have been a very famous swordsman in this country when you were alive?"

As she spoke, she made no attempt to conceal her admiration. Saber had previously guessed Assassin's identity through her communication with Kiritsugu.

(A cross-shaped scar on the left cheek.)

(A highly skilled assassin.)

Judging from his attire and demeanor, he is undoubtedly a native Servant, but it is unknown which era he belongs to.

"I am but an executioner in the shadows."

Without giving any further answers, Kenshin simply assumed a stance and spoke.

He didn't care whether he would be remembered in history.

At least according to the "historical records" provided by Kirei Kotomine, there is no record of "Himura Battosai".

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for him.

"I will defeat you this time."

"I am still unaware of what is happening on the other side," Saber said, holding her sword and looking at the enemy ahead.

"."

Without replying, Kenshin merely glanced at the healed wound on his arm.

(Is this the legendary sword sheath wielded by the King of Knights?)

(That King Arthur)

Upon hearing the news recounted by Kirei Kotomine, Kenshin also learned of the other party's name.

Artoria Pendragon!

For a "king" who rules over a country to possess such formidable strength is truly an eye-opener for Kenshin.

(I am still not strong enough)

These were his insights gained during the war; the skills and swordsmanship he had honed during the Shogunate period were hardly enough to secure him a direct victory here.

(If necessary, you are allowed to unleash your Noble Phantasm to defeat Assassin!)

Saber looked at the enemy whose eyes were gleaming and recalled her previous conversation with Kiritsugu.

This time, Kiritsugu was determined to rescue Irisviel and even kill Kirei Kotomine along with his Servants.

And next, Saber does indeed plan to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

Destroy the enemy with the holy sword in her hand!

If you seize their weakness, the outcome will be decided in no time.

"It might be difficult to defeat you directly in close combat, but next..."

Golden light spots were already flashing around them, and that holy demeanor spoke thus.

"!"

With a bad feeling, Kenshin frowned and dared not be careless in the slightest.

This "king" from a foreign land seems to be harboring a power he is unaware of.

He raised the sword to his chest, and the sacred sword revealed its true form, with swirling golden light radiating an astonishing pressure.

"This is.!"

Realizing something, Kenshin stomped his feet on the ground and charged straight ahead.

We can't let them release it so easily!

Although we don't know what will happen, we absolutely cannot sit idly by.

His extremely fast speed allowed him to quickly approach Saber.

(really.)

(Among all the opponents I have fought so far, your agility and swordsmanship are unparalleled.)

(but.)

Seeing the swordsman almost upon her, Saber raised her holy sword.

Sword of Victory!

That is the strongest "anti-city treasure" held by King Arthur.

"EX"

The aurora borealis shimmered on the sword, and a cry was uttered.

"Bang!!"

But a violent tremor interrupted the standoff between the two.

The ground shook, and both Kenshin and Saber were forced to stop what they were doing.

"What?"

"!"

The smoke and dust rose up, and as it dissipated, what came into the eyes of the two was a burly figure.

His entire body was clad in heavy, jet-black armor, but the greatsword he held in his hand exuded an ominous aura, and his demon-king-like demeanor was even more terrifying.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Kenshin's pupils contracted as he recognized the person's identity.

"Berserker!"
