Chapter 2663: Change
"Thank you."
Although Tohsaka Rin had given Shirou Emiya mana crystals, allowing him to clumsily replenish Saber's mana and heal her injuries,
Saber still remained wary of Tohsaka Rin.
The other girl was also a Master.
In the Holy Grail War, that meant she was an enemy.
"You don't need to be on guard against me. I was surprised that he became a Master, but as things stand, my part in this Holy Grail War is already over."
Tohsaka Rin sensed Saber's wariness as well. In the past, she might have bristled at it, but now, it did not seem like much of a problem.
"His previous attack was Gae Bolg. He should be Ireland's Child of Light, Cu Chulainn, but something is wrong with him. Is it the influence of the Berserker Class?"
Saber had always conducted herself openly and honorably. Though she did not lower her guard because of Tohsaka Rin's words, she shared the information she had because of the other girl's assistance.
"We fought him before. He didn't seem like a Berserker then. He should be Lancer."
Tohsaka Rin also looked puzzled. How had a perfectly good big dog ended up like this?
But then her expression changed as she inwardly cried out in alarm.
"He seems to have gotten stronger!"
Something was very wrong with the situation. Archer, who had previously been evenly matched with him, was now being suppressed, and Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm was glowing once more, eager to strike.
He was actually preparing to fire off his Noble Phantasm repeatedly!
At that moment, Saber, whose injuries had already healed, could no longer stand by and watch. He had acted to save her, and she had no reason to refrain from joining the attack over some notion of knightly honor.
