"Are you Ice Witch?!!!"
Feeling the biting chill coming from the surrounding air, Kuzuki Sōichirō's original indifferent expression finally changed.
Especially the pupils are dilating at an extremely fast speed, showing the unrest in the owner's heart.
He will never forget that one day almost ten years ago, under the order of the organization, he participated in the kidnapping operation with hundreds of companions.
As a result, the target that was originally thought to be easily solved actually burst out with power that humans could not understand at all, killing all the intruders with a god-like attitude.
At that time, Sakura was just a little loli with a height of less than one meter.
And Kuzuki Sōichirō happens to be the only survivor.
Because he was a step too slow at the time, he failed to rush in immediately, so he saw with his own eyes the massacre that looked like gorgeous art, and then the ordinary people who pretended to be frightened quickly fled the scene.
Since then, the organization has never actively contacted him, and he has never actively contacted the organization. He lives in a state of confusion like a walking zombie.
Later, through certain channels, he learned that the little girl he wanted to kidnap that day was known as "Ice Witch" in a group with special power.
"Have we met?"
Sakura tilted her head habitually and asked.
Since she discovered that whenever she made this move, Allen would satisfy any request, so she trained this move into a habit.
Although as I get older, I no longer look as cute as when I was a child, but Allen still has considerable lethality and is full of a unique style of young girls.
Kuzuki Sōichirō nodded slightly. "Yes! I met you ten years ago. At that time, I thought I would die in your hands. I didn't expect that after so many years, I still couldn't escape. But for a person like me, it is a relief."
"I didn't expect that I would meet the people here who slipped through the net ten years ago." Sakura raised the corner of her mouth with a dangerous smile.
More than 80% of the reason why she has become the angelic appearance and devilish character she is now comes from witnessing the greed and ugliness of human nature during that time.
It can be said that except Allen, she doesn't trust anyone in this world now.
"A fish that slipped through the net? This title really suits me. But I won't just sit back and die! If you want my life, take it yourself."
The words just fell!
Kuzuki Sōichirō's body flashed with the light of enhanced magic.
You don't need to ask to know that Medea had completed preparations while the two were talking, allowing Master to temporarily gain strength, agility and speed that could rival Heroic Spirit.
"Rider, go and deal with Caster. I want to deal with this man myself." Sakura ordered without looking back.
"As you wish, Master."
Medusa put one hand on his chest and bowed, then rushed towards Medea without saying a word.
"Don't even think about getting close to me! Dragon Tooth Soldiers!"
Medea is worthy of being one of the best Magus in the generation of gods.
It only took one second to create six or seven Familiars whose entire bodies were made of bones out of thin air.
"Naive! Do you think these skeletons can stop me?"
Medusa ignored Dragon Tooth Soldiers at all, and just took off the blindfold, releasing the daunting pair of magic eyes.
In less than a second, all the Dragon Tooth Soldierss she glanced at were instantly petrified and turned into immovable sculptures.
Obviously, Petrifying Gaze may only be able to contain Heroic Spirit with high Magic Resistance, but against Familiar with little magic resistance, it is basically an instant kill on the spot.
"Medusa?!"
As the same character in Greek mythology, Medea immediately recognized Petrifying Gaze and the meaning of these eyes, and his face instantly became a little ugly.
Because in front of Petrifying Gaze, the only Dragon Tooth Soldiers that can be used to contain it, no matter how many there are, cannot escape the fate of being instantly petrified.
However, the few Dragon Tooth Soldierss just now managed to buy some time, giving her a chance to fly into the air and narrowly avoid the sharp dagger flying towards her.
"As the princess of Colchis and the wife of the great hero Jason, can you only run away?"
With Chain tied to the end of the dagger, Medusa easily recovered the weapon and said provocatively with a smile.
"Shut up! Don't mention that disgusting name in front of me! What's more, I just put a distance that is more beneficial to myself. And... my magic level is much stronger than you think!"
With that said, Medea quickly activated his unique skill - High-Speed Divine Words, quickly converted the magic power into energy bombs that could rival the great magic, and directly waved his hand and launched it at the enemy.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Each energy bomb is as powerful as a bomb.
When it explodes, everything within three to four meters will be destroyed.
Even with the defense power of Servant, he would not dare to take it hard. Otherwise, although he would not die, injuries would definitely be inevitable.
But in the eyes of Medusa, who has A+ agility, this attack is like slow motion. He jumps out of the range covered by the energy bomb in a few seconds, and immediately launches Noble Phantasm without thinking.
"Bellerophon!"
Instantly!
Pegasus, emitting white light, appeared out of thin air!
Under her control, Blitz Gundam rushed over at a speed that could barely catch an ear.
"Damn it! You can actually activate Noble Phantasm continuously in such a short period of time?"
Medea was undoubtedly aware of the danger and immediately concentrated on firing energy bombs wildly. The terrifying rate of fire was almost as fast as Gatling's.
But unfortunately, the impact force generated by these energy bombs is still a little inferior to that of Pegasus.
In the blink of an eye, Medusa drove Pegasus and knocked it over. It fell from mid-air on the spot and rolled along the ground for more than ten meters.
She proved with practical actions how amazing a Heroic Spirit's strength would become after receiving the magical power supplied by Master Infinity.
Even the ultimate Noble Phantasm, which is the trump card, can be released at will like a normal attack.
At the same time, the battle between Sakura and Kuzuki Sōichirō also came to an end.
Although the latter's weird assassination punch caused a lot of trouble at first, it was quickly discovered by Sakura. Eventually, both arms and legs were broken. Now he has lost the ability to resist and is lying on the ground waiting for death.
"Do you have any last words?" Sakura stepped forward and asked.
"No! Kill me! Anyway, I have long since lost the desire to live." Kuzuki Sōichirō replied expressionlessly.
For ordinary people, he seemed not to feel the severe pain that could cause fainting. He remained so calm and rational from beginning to end.
"In that case! Then goodbye forever!" Sakura raised Spear Staff without mercy and poked it.
puff!
As the sharp front part pierced the heart, Kuzuki Sōichirō's pupils quickly lost their vitality, and he took his last breath in less than two or three minutes.
On the other side, Medusa also used a dagger to cut Medea's neck, letting blood spurt out from the aorta, splashing out in beautiful yet cruel blood.
In the last moments before his death, the traitor witch struggled to crawl to Master, hugged Kuzuki Sōichirō's body tightly, and finally died with a strange smile.
At this point, Fifth Holy Grail War finally appeared, the first Servant to enter Lesser Grail.
"It's so easy! It seems that the so-called Divine Era Magus is nothing special." After saying that, Sakura pulled out the weapon and shook off the blood stained on the front end.
"No! Master! It's not that Medea is too weak, but that you are too strong. Even in the era I lived in, there were not many great Maguss who could compare with you." Medusa took the initiative to explain.
Is Medea really weak?
The answer is obviously no!
Whether it is Noble Phantasm like Rule Breaker who can forcibly cut off the contract between Master and Servant, or High-Speed Divine Words who can directly activate great magic without chanting, it is enough to give the traitor witch a considerable advantage in the battle.
Compared to the half-baked French Marshal of the previous session, she is simply a magic encyclopedia.
In the original plot, Servant even broke out of the shackles of being a chess piece and turned himself into Master in essence.
He also exploited a bug in the rules to summon Sasaki Kojirou of the Assassin class, and forcibly captured Saber to train him full of shame.
But this time, Medea was not able to get enough time to obtain magic power like in the original plot, let alone Valis using a loophole in the rules to summon Servant. Even the time he summoned was much later than the others.
Coupled with the exposure of all the trump cards, it is natural to be the first to be killed.
"Am I too strong?" Sakura stared at her hands uncertainly.
In the girl's impression, she has never won a battle with Allen since she was a child, just like her sister Rin, who has never beaten herself.
This caused her to have a misunderstanding in her self-perception, that is, she was only slightly better than Rin, and she could not see Allen's back clearly no matter how hard she tried.
But after Holy Grail War started, Sakura suddenly found that she seemed to be stronger than all Master and Servant.
Especially the collision with Berserker in the opening match. If she hadn't been unwilling to show her trump card in advance, she would definitely have found twelve different ways to kill this difficult opponent.
Medusa, who put on the eye mask again, smiled and nodded, "That's right! Please give yourself more confidence. Also, are we going to visit other people tonight?"
"No need. I believe Caster's death will definitely worry the remaining Master. If nothing else happens, they will join forces soon. By then, this game should become a little more interesting."
After saying this, Sakura immediately summoned Flying Mount, took her Servant and disappeared into the vast night.
In the Einzbern family castle located on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, Illya, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up from his sleep and let out a piercing scream.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
"Miss! What's wrong with you?"
The two Homunculus maids who were waiting here rushed in quickly and asked with concern on their faces.
"It's... it's Servant's soul! It just entered my body! Caster! Caster has been killed!" Illya curled up into a ball and trembled slightly.
Because as early as more than ten years ago, before her parents left, she had been having a nightmare.
I dreamed that I was a cup, and seven pieces of unknown stuff were stuffed into it, filling myself up completely.
When she grew up, she realized that this was not a dream, but her destiny as Einzbern family Homunculus.
There is no doubt that for a child, this is an absolutely terrifying fate.
So when the moment of realizing her fate is coming, she still can't help but feel scared.
"What? Holy Grail War has just started, and a Servant has been killed? Who! Who did it?" The tone of the maid Sella was full of nervousness.
Ever since she learned that this Holy Grail War had Master who could compete head-on with Heracles, her original confidence in her young lady turned into worry.
You must know that normally, Homunculus, who is responsible for protecting Lesser Grail, cannot participate in Holy Grail War as Master, but should be used as a prize for the winner.
This is why Holy Grail War Einzbern family chose to hire Emiya Kiritsugu last time.
And every time a soul of Servant enters Lesser Grail, Illya must close some of its own Magic Circuit to suppress those restless Heroic Spirit.
In other words, the further we enter the later stage, the fewer the remaining Heroic Spirit will be, and the weaker the power of Illya will be.
Maybe he can't even suppress Heracles's madness.
"Don't ask me! I don't know! I don't know!"
Illya hugged the stuffed toy tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeks.
At this time, she wished that her father and mother were still alive and could give her a warm hug.
However, the legal loli didn't know that at this moment, her mother Irisviel was hiding in a big tree outside the barrier, holding the latest and most advanced Telescope and watching every move in the room. She wanted to rush out several times, but was eventually stopped by Hisau Maiya on the side.
"Madam! Please be patient a little longer! Now is not the time!"
"Huh——"
Alice took a deep breath, forced himself to recover from the excitement, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and responded with a wry smile, "Thank you! I almost ruined Allen and Kiritsugu's plan again."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. Besides... I can understand how impatient you are now." Hisau Maiya comforted softly.
"Maiya, have you ever thought about what you are going to do after this Holy Grail War is over?" Alice suddenly asked.
She was obviously trying to use diversion to distract herself from missing her daughter.
"Me? I don't know. If you don't mind, I'm willing to stay and be a competent bodyguard." Hisau Maiya expressed the truest thoughts in his heart.
"Stay? Don't you want to have an independent life and your own life?" Alice asked with some confusion.
Hisau Maiya smiled and shook his head, "No. For me, what I have now is everything in life. Let's go, madam, it's time for us to go back. At this time, the more we must reduce the risk of exposure..."
