A Web of Interlocking Schemes

Su Xiao began adjusting his condition. First, he closed his eyes and took deep breaths, ensuring his blood was sufficiently oxygenated. If he missed this opportunity, he would have no choice but to fight his way into the Einzbern castle and engage Saber head-on.

An even stronger enemy was waiting for Su Xiao. Fighting Saber head-on now would be unwise.

Su Xiao leaned his head toward the Spider Empress's scope. He had already adjusted his condition.

Above the castle, the Apostle Eye, made entirely of rare metal, floated into the air. Its primary material was Ramiel alloy. Ramiel alloy was not particularly strong—in fact, it was even weaker than refined steel—but it possessed extremely strong adaptability. It was like a chameleon among metals, capable of blending with the aura of most objects. For that very reason, excavating and mining Ramiel metal was extraordinarily difficult, making it extremely expensive.

Vrrr~

The Apostle Eye emitted a pulse. Almost instantly, the pulse swept across the entire castle.

Su Xiao's mental power was already linked to the Apostle Eye. Once it released the pulse, the Einzbern family castle in his field of vision became semi-transparent, revealing dozens of red figures inside.

Beep. Beep, beep...

Red light flashed across the Apostle Eye as it rapidly determined which red figure was Emiya Kiritsugu.

At the same moment the Apostle Eye released its wave, Saber, who was chatting with the proxy Master Alice at the castle's first-floor, tensed. Her pupils slowly contracted.

Boom!

Mana surged wildly around Saber. Her combat outfit and battle skirt materialized, and the invisible sword Excalibur appeared in her hand. Her golden hair fluttered as she stood proud and valiant.

"Saber?"

The beautiful mature woman Alice, who had been drinking black tea, stared in astonishment. Saber's released mana sent her silver hair flying.
