"Snap, snap, snap..."

With a round of applause, "As expected of Kirei, you actually found me?"

At the same time, in the forest, Risei Kirei, covered in wounds, stumbled through the gap created by Lorelei and Rin, arriving near Rin.

"Rin!"

Hearing the shout, Rin quickly turned her head to look in the direction of the voice. Upon seeing the injured Risei Kirei, she rushed to his side in surprise and supported him.

"Grandpa Risei? What happened to you!"

"Cough, cough, cough. To make a long story short, Rin, hurry back to the train. Someone attacked me on the first day and stole the holy relic I recently discovered in Ireland, summoning a Servant! I was imprisoned by him for two days. I just managed to escape while he was away."

"What! No wonder I haven't seen you, Grandpa Risei, these past two days."

At this moment, Lorelei also noticed the commotion near Rin and turned to walk towards her, asking.

"Rin, what's going on?"

"Lorelei, I'm afraid I don't have time to help you eliminate the Child of Phul anymore. Grandpa Risei brought news that someone on the train has summoned a Servant. I have to rush back now. Sakura and Fujino are in danger!"

Lorelei nodded upon hearing this. A magic circle flashed in her hand, and a small vial of potion appeared. Lorelei then handed the potion to Rin.

"Yes, you go back first. I'll hurry back to help you after I finish dealing with the Child of Phul. This is a secret medicine from our Bartholomello, it can replenish magical energy. Please take it."

Looking at Lorelei, who arrogantly handed her the potion as if it were a gift, Rin didn't argue, knowing Lorelei was being tsundere again. She casually took out a gem and handed it to Risei Kirei before rushing back to the train without looking back.

"Grandpa Risei, this gem, crush it. It can create a sanctuary that lasts for half an hour..."

Risei Kirei stared blankly at Rin and Lorelei, who were parting ways, holding the gem. Hearing the voice carried by the wind, he unhesitatingly smashed the gem onto a nearby rock.

Kirei looked at Dr. Hartless before him, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"Dr. Hartless, are you coming with me, or shall I cut off your limbs and drag you along?"

Dr. Hartless merely shrugged silently at Kirei's words, then turned to look in the direction the flame giant had disappeared.

"It seems you've made your choice!"

Saying this, Kirei took out a test tube from his pocket and casually threw it on the ground.

Moon Cell Essence, Kirei's supreme Noble Phantasm, flowed out of the test tube.

Simultaneously, Lainas beside him activated a magic circle and took out a briefcase. As the briefcase opened, Trimurti, a variant of Moon Cell Essence, appeared beside Lainas in the form of a humanoid maid.

"Slash!"

The mercury beneath Kirei's feet extended as he shouted, transforming into a sharp blade and slashing towards Dr. Hartless. At the same time, Trimurti, following Lainas's will, moved behind Dr. Hartless, blocking his retreat.

Facing the Moon Cell Essence slashing towards him, Dr. Hartless stood his ground without any apparent concern, as if he had completely given up resistance.

Suddenly, an extremely long spear appeared out of thin air. With sparks flying, it blocked the attack for Dr. Hartless.

Kirei narrowed his eyes, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared. Tall and clad in black armor, his exposed skin was covered in dark red demonic patterns. His frenzied expression, coupled with snow-white hair, made the man before him appear even more savage and demonic.

Kirei had a vague inkling of an answer, but he didn't know who the man before him was. However, if Rin were here, she would undoubtedly recognize the man by that spear.

This Servant was none other than Finn MacCool, descendant of the Celtic god of war Nuada, and leader of the glorious Fianna. As a guardian of Ireland, he had defeated numerous invaders and monsters, creating many heroic legends. His status was comparable to that of the great Celtic hero, Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster.

"Oh, so this is a Servant?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the battle. Lord of Celestial Mechanics, Marisbury, looked at the Servant before him and unhesitatingly walked onto the battlefield from the train.

"Marisbury, are you also interested in Dr. Hartless?"

"No, Kirei, I'm interested in this Servant."

"Then Dr. Hartless is mine, and this Servant is yours."

In just a few words, the two Lords decided the fate of the Master and Servant before them as if dividing a dish. Indeed, the pseudo Holy Grail War had been held many times over the years, and the strength of many Servants summoned in these wars had been determined. Normally, a Color rank Magus would be sufficient to contend with an ordinary Servant appearing in a pseudo Holy Grail War.

Unaware that the Finn before them was not an ordinary Servant as they assumed, and that after being strengthened by Aiga, he was worlds apart from the Servants who appeared in the pseudo Holy Grail War, the two did not realize this.

Looking at the spear piercing the Moon Cell Essence, Kirei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"No, something's wrong. This guy! Lainas, get out of here quickly!"

Kirei clutched his injured arm and used the Moon Cell Essence to move to Marisbury's side.

"This guy is not right. This level of strength is almost comparable to the Servant I encountered in Fuyuki City back then. Be careful, Marisbury."

Marisbury nodded calmly, then manipulated several fist-sized iron meteorites floating behind him, bypassing Finn and heading towards Dr. Hartless behind him.

Although Finn's consciousness had been stripped away by Aiga's strengthening, causing him to fall into a state of complete berserk, his battle-hardened combat instincts remained. He instantly leaped up, easily brandishing his spear to deflect all the meteorites.

"Spear of Venus!"

At this moment, Rin, who had activated her Starlight Form and was waiting for an opportunity, finally found her chance. She unhesitatingly gathered starlight to form a light spear and launched a fatal blow at Finn's head!

As the Spear of Venus struck Finn's head, Finn, who had fallen to the ground, collapsed.

Rin patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's just a pseudo Holy Grail War. To think even Finn was summoned. Honestly, it's good that he's a Berserker, a class without reason."

Rin Tohsaka mistakenly identified Finn as a Berserker-class Servant summoned for a pseudo Holy Grail War.

Dr. Hartless walked up to Finn's 'corpse' with a smile, revealing the Command Spells on his hand.

"Finn, use your Noble Phantasm."

These lives he scooped up! The water Finn scooped with his hands possessed astonishing healing abilities—the legend itself transformed into a Noble Phantasm, activated by Dr. Hartless's Command Spells.

As the Noble Phantasm activated, Finn's head wound instantly healed, and he stood up again, letting out a wild roar towards Rin.

"Please continue the fight, both Lords, Rin Tohsaka."

"Damn it!"

Rin Tohsaka narrowly dodged Finn's attack, then quickly ascended into the sky, watching with a grim expression as Finn charged towards Kotomine Kirei and Marisbury on the ground.

Seeing Finn's spear about to pierce Kotomine again, Lainas, standing by the car door, poured most of her magic into Trimurti, causing it to instantly accelerate and block the blow just as the spear was about to pierce Kotomine.

"Oh, little girl, I'll have you make your exit first then."

Dr. Hartless looked at Lainas with a smile, but his words were deadly.

As Dr. Hartless spoke, the nearby withered wood seemed to come alive, and countless branches thrust towards Lainas.

In the cockpit of the Mystic Eye Collection Train, the train's acting manager, a direct subordinate of the True Ancestor Roseann, looked at the train conductor and auctioneer.

"They're trying to damage the train again! Leondra, Roden, from now on, anyone who attacks the train is considered our enemy!"

Lainas leaned against the train door, helplessly raising her hands as if to comfort herself, but Lainas knew her fate would be the same as those she had spoken of earlier who committed suicide.

At this critical moment, the train's suddenly deployed protective Magecraft bought Rin precious time. Rin swooped down from the air to Lainas's front, just as the train's magic circle shattered.

"Ancient Starlight—Wings of Light Deploy!"

Hundreds of beams of light collided with hundreds of branches. The powerful and ancient starlight instantly suppressed the Child of Phul, not only shattering the branches but also pulverizing a large area of withered wood around them.

This was the 'Mystery' suppression brought by Rin's fully realized Starlight Mode, a concept proposed by the scientific genius Da Vinci, which allowed Rin's 'Mystery' to reach a level comparable to the Age of Gods by collecting the ancient light emitted by distant stars!

Rin turned her head and jokingly said to Lainas behind her.

"Lainas, I've been accumulating this starlight for over half a year. How do you plan to compensate me?"

Lainas looked at the withered forest, pulverized by Rin, with lingering fear and cast a grateful look at Rin.

"Thank you, Rin!"

"You're welcome. I'm going to help Kotomine and the others. You take care of yourself."

When Da Vinci first proposed the concept, it indeed took over half a year to accumulate enough starlight for one strike. However, with Rin's progress, it now only took about a week to accumulate enough starlight for one strike.

Rin took the secret medicine given by Lorelei in one gulp and flew towards Kotomine and Marisbury, thinking, 'Da Vinci truly is a person of all trades!'

Kotomine, while directing the Moon Cell Essence through his Magecraft Crest, connected his magic to Trimurti, simultaneously controlling the two Noble Phantasms to arduedly block Finn's assault.

"Marisbury, are you done yet! I can't hold on much longer."

Marisbury raised his hands high, unfolding a magic circle, and continuously chanted incantations composed of Latin.

"It's done, let the stars fall!"

The sky instantly darkened, and the stars twinkled in the firmament, like Van Gogh's starry night. Then, magic bullets composed of starlight fell one after another towards the ground.

At the same time, Rin coordinated with Marisbury's Great Magecraft and activated Wings of Light Deploy.

Boom—Boom—Boom.

As the magic bullets landed, countless withered trees were ignited. Finn returned to Dr. Hartless's side and strenuously resisted the magic bullets falling from the sky, as well as Rin's Wing of Light attacks.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Kotomine's face, slightly pale from blood loss, showed surprise. He looked at the unharmed Finn and exclaimed loudly.

"How is this possible? A mere pseudo-Servant could withstand a Great Magecraft completely unscathed!"

"Kotomine, this is probably no longer a pseudo-Servant. Although I don't know what methods that guy used, Finn's Spirit Foundation has definitely been strengthened!"

Marisbury turned his head to look at Rin in mid-air.

"So, this is a true Servant?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's an existence between a pseudo-Servant and a Servant."

Kotomine, seizing the opportunity to stop the bleeding from his arm, asked Rin.

"Rin, can you buy me some time?"

"No problem!"

After answering Kotomine, Rin summoned a Flame Sword in her hand and swooped down in front of Finn. She flicked the Flame Sword and thrust it towards Finn's heart. Marisbury also raised his hand and chanted more than three sections of magic bullets, sending them towards Finn.

Kotomine, meanwhile, took off his glove, his hand glowing with the light of Magecraft, and then plunged his hand into the ground, chanting incessantly.

Rin's Flame Sword was easily shattered by Finn, who then kicked Rin away and simultaneously pulled Dr. Hartless to dodge the incoming magic bullets.

Rin got up from the ground, glanced behind her, and complained about a wing that had been shattered by Finn's kick.

"It's simply unscientific! Why is that guy's martial arts still so strong when he's lost all his reason?"

After her complaint, Rin used her magic to restore the completeness of her Wings of Light. With a flap of her wings, she condensed two Flame Swords in her hands and charged towards Finn.

Meanwhile, Kotomine was squatting on the ground, covered in sweat, concentrating on chanting the incantation. However, this Great Magecraft required Kotomine to be in a complete state, and after the continuous battles, his magic was already incomplete.

At this moment, Lainas also noticed Keniis's condition. Mustering her courage, she walked over to Keniis, placed her hand on his shoulder, and sent her magic into his body.

"Thank you! Lainas, take this next strike, Dr. Hartless..."

"Mercury!"

The word "mercury" in English represents both the element, the planet, and the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, as well as the god of livestock, thieves, commerce, travel, and sports, and one of the twelve Olympian gods.

As Keniis shouted loudly, a massive mercury pillar surged from the ground behind Finn. Then, two pythons made of mercury, faster than lightning, securely coiled Finn around the mercury pillar.

Legend has it that Mercury once threw his staff between two fighting snakes, and they immediately made peace. Therefore, the double serpent staff is regarded as a symbol of communication and reconciliation, and it also symbolizes that in business, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. In the West, people believe that the double serpent staff can make business negotiations smoother and ease conflicts between parties.

As a flash of magical light passed over Finn, the double serpent staff transformed back into mercury and returned to the earth. However, Finn remained frozen in place, as if completely hypnotized.

This was the beginning of Keniis's demonstration of the true effect of his Great Magecraft, which recreated the divine messenger's staff by leveraging Roman mythological concepts.
