The Stars Shine in the Night Sky

In fact, there is a gap not only between humans and Servant, but also a decisive gap in abilities between Servant.

With all her abilities worthy of being described as "excellent," Saber naturally possesses a considerable advantage in one-on-one combat.

Even so, we cannot ignore the trump cards held by the other Servant.

After noticing a strange numbness suddenly spreading through his body, Mordred frowned and looked into the woman's heterochromatic eyes—

"Magecraft?"

The coercive force woven from magic caused Mordred to slowly lower the magic sword from his hand.

Seeing the frozen blonde girl, Hephaestion secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her previous unrestrained fighting style had given him an opening.

"If it weren't for these [eyes], I might already be dead by your sword."

As she spoke, her heterochromatic eyes reflected a bewitching allure under the influence of magic.

[Gold-and-Silver Demonic Eyes], a forced NobleColor, possesses the characteristic of activating whenever it is seen.

"Isn't that good enough, Hephaestion?"

Heartless's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

After seeing his Servant's Magecraft succeed, he regained his previous relaxed expression.

"After dealing with Saber, the rest can be left to [Forest of Einnashe's son]. Your magical quality isn't bad either; if you don't leave soon, that guy will become your target."

"Understood."

Hephaestion nodded in agreement with his Master's suggestion.

Unfortunately, although Heartless had a detailed understanding of the Holy Grail War, as a spectator who only watched it afterward, his intelligence work was not thorough enough.

He clearly didn't understand --

[Saber] is hailed as the [ace among Servants] for a reason.

"Varied--?!"

Sensing the sudden surge of magical energy emanating from the blonde girl before him Hephaestion, who had already approached her, was on high alert.

"Ah, what a pity."

Mordred glanced at the bloodstains on the demon sword out of the corner of her eye, then curled her lip. Her gaze then returned to Hephaestion had already jumped back.

Hephaestion was somewhat taken aback as he shifted his gaze from the horrific wound on his chest that had nearly cleaved him in two to the girl before him.

When did you break free?

"Huh? Isn't this a very simple thing?"

Possessing a B-level Magic Resistance, Mordred can nullify Magecraft with three or fewer verses. Even powerful Magecraft and ritualistic spells are difficult to harm her.

However, despite this, those eerie eyes still restricted Mordred's movements.

It's important to know that her previous sneak attack was aimed at the opponent's neck.

The failure to achieve a fatal blow greatly disappointed Mordred, who had painstakingly put on a performance.

Meanwhile, Mordred's two rivals had no interest in praising her acting skills.

Watching the [Son of Forest of Einnashe] approaching the train in the distance, Heartless couldn't understand why these guys were still relentlessly pursuing him despite the immense threat before them. But now, he had no time to worry about that.

"Time is running out, Faker. I grant you permission to use your Noble Phantasm."

After performing emergency treatment on his Servant's wounds, Heartless gave her the order.

"Faker?"

After hearing Heartless's words, the Lord El-Melloi II, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, subconsciously frowned.

However, the battle clearly wouldn't stop because of his contemplation.

"Try to take this blow!"

Upon hearing its Master's command, Hephaestion raised its weapon and swung it fiercely—

The next second, the void was torn apart.

Alongside the dark clouds, a formidable chariot, pulled by two horses and wreathed in purple lightning, was revealed. It was not a modern weapon; it was an ancient symbol of devastation, drawn by horses or other creatures and traversing the battlefield.

" --Gordius Wheel!"

Hephaestion proclaimed the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Seeing his opponent already on the chariot, Mordred's expression gradually turned serious as he called out to the Lord El-Melloi II beside him.

The ensuing battle was beyond their control. In the clash of Noble Phantasm, no one would hold back. And because of this, the impact of both sides' Noble Phantasm on the surrounding battlefield was not even worth considering.

Didn't you see that guy's Master skipped out after giving the order?

"Finally, I can unleash my full power!"

After watching the Lord El-Melloi II's somewhat flustered figure disappear from her sight as he fled, Mordred turned back and gave her opponents on the chariot a smug smile.

"Before you start spouting nonsense, you should first consider whether you can even survive!"

Hephaestion yanked the reins in his hand, and the lightning-fast hooves that shattered the void propelled the chariot toward Mordred as if to tear everything in its path.

"Then I--"

Facing the raging battlefield, Mordred, raising his demonic sword, resolutely swore an oath:

"I'll use this royal sword to cut you in two!"

"What?!"

Before Heartless could reach a safe distance, he instinctively turned his head after hearing Mordred's oath. Then he saw—

"[Clarent Blood Arthur (ClarentBlood Arthur)!!]"

The crimson thunderstorm, which could almost illuminate half the night sky, instantly engulfed his Servant!

However, considering the length, I'll save the main character's appearance (and show-off) for the next chapter.

I'd also like to recommend a seedling book.

I'm Not a PhD

Synopsis: Life has no inherent meaning; whether one becomes an infected person and bravely faces death or tosses and turns in sleep as a normal person, it is all part of the normal ecological cycle.

In this world of conflict and war, there will always be people who fight for a better tomorrow.

As long as we look forward with hopeful anticipation, there is a chance to grasp the first glimmer of dawn.

It's like Lappland met me, and I met you.

Chapter 372. Stars Shining in the Night Sky

Following the direction of the train, we arrived at the very front of it.

Although the train had been attacked before, Gray, who hadn't witnessed it firsthand, simply couldn't imagine how the Rail Zeppelin had escaped such a horrific scene.

It was like a tsunami on land. The icy branches writhed and crawled, transforming into a terrifying swarm of pythons, lunging headlong at the [Rail Zeppelin] beneath their feet.

As she watched the [son of Forest of Einnashe] approach her, a slight tremor involuntarily crept into Gray's eyes.

She could see that the [son of Forest of Einnashe], who lacked magic, had staked everything.

So, in response... what about yourself?

If we don't do something soon...

Then, not only the train, but the entire train and all the passengers will soon be swallowed up by the swarming forest.

But--

The scene before us is something that absolutely cannot be stopped by human power alone. Even if the Noble Phantasm hidden in Add are released, they cannot be completely destroyed.

Gray could feel the despair growing from the depths of her heart steadily stealing the warmth from her body.

"What's wrong, little Gray?"

A gentle voice suddenly rang in Gray's ear.

"Miss Lily...?"

Are you scared?

"... Um."

After a brief silence, Gray nodded, acknowledging her fear.

Even if I'm ridiculed or criticized next...

Gray, who had already prepared for the worst, never expected this—

"Same as me."

"Huh?"

Subconsciously raising her head, Gray's eyes, hidden beneath the hood, finally met the gaze of the girl beside her.

It's true!

Noticing the confusion in Gray's eyes, Lily reached out and gently patted her head through the hood.

The warmth emanating from above seemed to possess a magical power to dispel fear, and Gray could feel her limbs gradually regaining their strength.

"I get terrified just thinking about never seeing [that person] again. I think little Gray must have someone like that in her heart too."

[Master...]

"So, how about we channel that longing in our hearts into the motivation to see him?"

"Um!"

Gradually snapping out of her daze, Gray nodded firmly.

"Is the time for putting the kids to bed finally over?"

A snicker from the side interrupted the slightly warm atmosphere between the two.

"Miss Olga Marie ..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl beside her, Gray instinctively shrank back.

"Although I didn't mean to interrupt you, but..."

The silver-haired girl gestured with her eyes to the tree branches that had become entangled in front of the train.

"If we don't take any action soon, we're all going to die here."

"Don't worry, I will protect you!" And Master too.

Having mentally completed the second half of her statement, Gray solemnly assured Lily and Olga Marie before her.

"Add."

"Hehehe, here I come!"

Noisy laughter erupted from beneath Gray's cloak.

The next second, Gray charged into the battlefield, wielding Add, who had transformed into the Grim Reaper.

"Thank you."

As Lily watched Gray's departing figure, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"I will forever remember this kindness that saved Trisha's life, in the name of [Animusphere (Department of Astromancy)]."

Looking at the serious-looking silver-haired girl, Lily smiled and asked her.

"Well then, little Mary, could you do me a favor?"
